"There are only four robots I'm confident I can repair.
"The others either have damaged AI chips or damaged power cells, and there aren't any matching replacement parts."
Su Na spoke to Yang Yi, having already repaired one robot as they talked.
"Then counting Xiaoji and Xiao Er, that makes six robots in total." Yang Yi turned to Xiaoji. "If all six work on the repairs together, how long will it take to fix those three holes?"
"One hour will be enough."
"What if there are only two?"
"Then it will take about six hours."
Xiaoji answered readily, its calculations swift.
"All right, then Xiaoji, this one, and I..."
Yang Yi looked at the serial number on the robot's casing. The last digit was 7.
"Robot No. 7 will handle the underwater work.
"Once you've repaired the robots, assign one to support us. Send the remaining two to the hold to carry out emergency repairs from the inside with the Xiao Er Robot. That's the plan."
Having made the arrangements, Yang Yi turned to leave with the two robots.
"Oh, right. The water is rising at about 0.8 meters an hour. If it gets too deep, head up to the next level, though I doubt it'll take that long to repair the ship..."
"Wait, why don't you take this too? It works underwater."
Su Na offered him the Force-Field Deflection Great Shield, but Yang Yi declined.
"There are still some stragglers aboard besides us, so we haven't been able to take control of the ship.
"Keep your force-field shield with you. It can protect you.
"As for me, I still have two Crystal Great Shields. They're enough to deal with the Drowned Dead."
He told Su Na this, then left the workshop with the robots and headed for the elevator
