After Zhang Bei got the wires, he took the mecha out. Then, he looked at the parts of the mecha that were missing wires and estimated the approximate length.

He divided the wires into several sections. At first, Zhang Bei used the hoe, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the hoe would use too much strength and damage the copper wire, so he slowly broke it with his hands.

“This is such a tiring job.” Zhang Bei’s hands were hurting. He looked at his reddened hands that were showing signs of cracking.

He thought to himself, “If I knew this would happen, I would have done this kind of electrical work back on Earth.” He would have saved himself the trouble of doing it so badly now.

He sat on the ground and slowly broke the wires one by one. The little yellow chick ran over after eating and nudged him.

“Go play somewhere else. Can’t you see that I’m busy?” The chick started pecking at the wires as if it was trying to help Zhang Bei.

Zhang Bei smiled and flicked the little yellow chick’s little head. “You don’t have to help here. Go play by yourself.” The little yellow chick pecked at the wire again and realized that it really couldn’t do anything to the wire. So, it waved its little wings and ran to the side to play by itself.

Seeing the angry look on the little yellow chick’s face, he smiled and continued to break the wires. One, two, three…

Zhang Bei finally finished the required number. Then, he put away the remaining wire.

But how to weld it? Zhang Bei thought for a long time, because the connection between the copper wires and the circuit board had to be welded.

After thinking about it, he felt that there was no other way for the time being. “Would it be better to heat it with fire and join it?”

Zhang Bei took out a flame stick and slowly heated the copper wire. Then, he connected the heated copper wire with the exposed copper wire on the mecha and slowly heated them again. He would then twist the wires to connect them.

“Tsk, it’s so f*cking hot.” After connecting one, Zhang Bei shook his hand.

“As long as the movements aren’t too big and aren’t too intense, this wire shouldn’t break for the time being.” Zhang Bei dipped his hands in the cold water. “But I still have to search for electrical tape to cover the exposed wires.” Zhang Bei did not want to be electrocuted to death while walking in space.

After his hands cooled down, he heated the copper wires one by one and connected them with the wires inside the mecha. One, two, three… He slowly connected them one by one. By the time he finished connecting all the broken wires, it was almost dark.

Zhang Bei looked at the sky and decided to wait until morning. It was better not to do this at night. After all, he did not know what would happen at night. What if some creatures invaded again?

Then, he picked up the small iron box and put the mecha away. Zhang Bei looked at the darkening sky and called the little yellow chick back. The little yellow chick chirped and followed him back to the tent.

“Ah, I’m so hungry!” Zhang Bei sighed. He thought about how he had not eaten for a long while because he had been repairing his mecha.

Now that he was free, he felt his stomach rumbling as he started to feel hungry.

Zhang Bei went to the storeroom and got instant noodles. He also got two pieces of chocolate bread that he exchanged last time and two sausages. Then, he poured a bottle of mineral water into the kettle and threw the instant noodles and condiments into the kettle when the water boiled.

When the noodles were ready, Zhang Bei held the condiment sachets and thought for a while.

“Can the instant noodles seasonings be used to marinate the chicken wings?” He muttered.

It was because there were chicken wings among the frozen food he had picked up previously.

“Marinate the chicken wings, skewer it with wood, and roast it over the fire. It should taste good, right?” Zhang Bei drooled.

He was really craving the meat. This was because he had not eaten a single bite of meat since he came to space. He was about to forget what it tasted like.

Zhang Bei had always been a person who did what he decided.

He took out the frozen chicken wings from the fridge and put it aside to let it thaw.

The instant noodles were ready, Zhang Bei held the electric kettle and ate the noodles from it. The little yellow chick chirped again. He gave it a few pieces of noodles and the two of them ate again.

After eating the instant noodles, Zhang Bei felt that his stomach was still a little empty. He ate chocolate bread and naturally gave some to the little yellow chick.

Probably because he had been working hard recently, Zhang Bei felt that he was hungry especially quickly. Moreover, he had to eat a lot of things every time to relieve his hunger. After eating a piece of bread, Zhang Bei felt that he still had some space in his stomach.

However, he didn’t plan to eat immediately. He was going to open a few instant noodles seasonings and marinate the chicken wings. Then, he would roast it with fire to see if it would taste better.

“If this works, there will be meat to eat in the future!” Zhang Bei’s eyes shone.

“For the remaining instant noodles without the seasonings, I might as well use a packet of seasonings to make two packets of instant noodles. Or I can trade instant noodles without seasonings to exchange things with others.” He calculated carefully in his heart.

It was completely dark outside, and only the stars shone in the sky.

Zhang Bei turned on the table lamp in the tent. Warm light filled the entire tent, creating a warm atmosphere.

The little yellow chick was also tired after eating. Zhang Bei poked its little head and said, “Go to sleep if you’re tired.”

Then, the little yellow chick ran to its nest and fell asleep.

He was also a little sleepy, but he still wanted to wait for the chicken wings to thaw and roast them.

So he lay on the bed and turned on the world channel.

“It’s a little like browsing Weibo before sleeping on Earth.” Zhang Bei smiled.

“Brothers, who have food… I’m really starving.”

“Who has water…?”

“Just now, a large iron box smashed in front of me. I thought it was something good, but it was a broken computer.”

“Computers are good things! Hurry up and play games!” Someone mocked.

“Don’t mention it. Whoever wants it can take it. Just give me something to eat.” That person was helpless.

“Don’t joke around. Who would use food to exchange for this thing with you!” Everyone was mocking him for dreaming.

“Sigh…” That person was already so desperate that he couldn’t speak.

Zhang Bei opened the private chat..
