Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 109 Preparing for the Return Journey

With the self-check complete, the engine resumed operation, and more than 10 minutes later, the workers returned to the living area.

By this time, Lorraine and Platinum had already set the table together.

Hearing footsteps, Lorraine looked up and saw that only five workers had arrived at the restaurant.

"What about the remaining five workers?"

The foreman replied.

"The engine room is not in good condition. Our group of 10 people has been divided into two groups to take turns guarding the engine room for the rest of the voyage to ensure its normal operation."

Lorraine sighed; his attempts to dissuade these workers from being overly dedicated were futile.

"Then come up and have something to eat first, rest for a bit, and then start your shift."

The experienced craftsman smiled, shook his head, and explained.

"The energy bars you gave us before contain enough energy for us to work for a long time."

Seeing that her persuasion was still ineffective, Lorraine directly dialed Ouyang Nian's number.

"Ouyang Nian, bring the engine room workers up here to eat."

No sooner had Luo Lin finished speaking than she heard a commotion coming from Ouyang Nian's side.

Then, he vaguely heard Ouyang Nian say something.

"It's too noisy over there, I can't hear what you're saying."

Then, Lorraine discovered that Ouyang Nian had hung up the call, but what followed was a text message from her.

"I can't persuade these workers either. Now I can only wait for the workers who just went up to finish eating and come down to take their shifts."

After reading the message, Lorraine sighed deeply, then picked up six energy bars from the table and left the restaurant.

As soon as Lorraine left the restaurant, she recalled the workers' attitude and then asked Platinum, who was standing on the deck, to return to the restaurant.

"Platinum, I'm going down to bring food to the engineers in the engine room. You watch them eat everything on the table."

"understood."

Upon hearing Lorraine's call, Platinum turned and returned to the restaurant. As soon as she entered, she saw the five workers unpacking three energy bars, and the canned fruit on the table had been placed aside.

Bai Jin knew very well that words would have no effect on these stubborn workers.

She walked to the dining table, opened five cans of fruit, and placed them in front of the workers.

Then, she stood at the entrance of the restaurant, crossed her arms, leaned against the wall, and stared at the workers' tables, as if to say that they wouldn't be able to leave the restaurant until they finished all the canned food.

The old master stood up, intending to persuade Bai Jin, but after seeing Bai Jin's actions, he shook his head, sat back down on the stool, and took the lead in eating the opened can of fruit on the table.

Meanwhile, Lorraine had already gone down to the engine room. The loud noise made him a little uncomfortable. He opened his mouth, then quickly walked into the engine room.

Upon entering the engine room, Lorraine saw Ouyang Nian looking helpless. He walked over and patted Ouyang Nian on the shoulder.

He then shoved an energy bar into Ouyang Nian's hand and pointed to the entrance to the engine room, indicating that she should go there and eat an energy bar to replenish her energy.

Ouyang Nian shook his head, then took two energy bars from Lorraine and went with him to deliver supplies to the workers who were still busy.

Lorraine patted the worker on the shoulder and handed him an energy bar, indicating that he should replenish his energy.

But the busy worker waved his hand, refusing the energy bar Lorraine offered, and instead pointed to the operating machine, indicating that he was working.
