Extending a massive sensor array outside the Noah while traveling at relativistic speeds was practically a death sentence. Before addressing external threats, they had to secure internal stability. The Noah's interior was currently a chaotic, hazardous disaster zone, making any external operations impossible. They had to repair the ship's internal infrastructure first.
The primary obstacle was the internal heat. Without stabilizing the ambient temperature, no reconstruction could begin.
"The post-disaster reconstruction is going to be a nightmare," Jason muttered, scanning the latest damage reports. The massive magma pool trapped in the high-gravity ventral zone, radiating at tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, was his biggest headache.
"Those are all raw materials! It's a tragedy we can't extract them..."
If they waited for the magma to cool naturally, it would take centuries. Humanity couldn't afford to wait that long.
