With the wind so strong now, assembling the modules was no longer so simple. It was difficult even with the help of the Iron Skeletons and vines. Even the Iron Skeletons were blown away, flying into the air and falling apart before finally disappearing because they were too far from the ship.
Several times, even the unfinished modules were nearly blown away. Fortunately, Yang Yi was nearby and forcibly snatched them back with the tongue extending from his abdomen, his wolf claws gouging deep furrows in the deck.
About four hours later.
Through everyone's efforts, including Cui Xiya's, the hull modification modules were finally halfway installed. The above-water section was essentially complete.
After the last windbreak panel was installed, an enclosed compartment had been added to the deck, but the space was much smaller, barely encompassing the Painful Wailing Cabin and a strip around its perimeter.
At that same moment, the Nightmare Star, which had been rocking nonstop, suddenly stabilized. Presumably, this set of modification modules had begun taking effect. The wind could be heard flowing inside the modules, producing a steady sound of moving air.
When these powerful winds met the Nightmare Star, they were no longer forcibly blocked. Instead, they entered deliberately placed air channels, which guided the wind's path and changed the direction of its force, thereby stabilizing the ship.
The principle was similar to a car's intake grille, used to reduce wind resistance.
So now, almost the entire ship was tightly enclosed by modules except for the bow, with a mass of parachutes hanging outside.
The bow had been left uncovered partly to preserve a convenient platform for observing the surroundings, and partly to make steering easier.
Yang Yi entered the transitional room, which was much like a submarine's flooding chamber. The door behind him had
