Chapter 1: The First New Year on the Ship

"Target: An unknown star seven light-years away. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhou Xin ordered.

Spred turned his head and gave the order, and the researchers began to get busy again, and after another recharge of the engine, the Voyager was once again surrounded in a special space created by the warp engine, and their interstellar journey began again.

Let's skip a boring rush time, five months after Zhou Xin and their departure, Zhou Xin was bored in the command cabin, and next to him sat the equally boring Spred and Ralph, only Xiaobai, still tirelessly moving around, a full of energy.

"It's boring." Zhou Xin opened his mouth to speak, and then he looked at a pitch-black screen, "I didn't expect that warp speed travel is more boring than sub-light speed travel, and you can't see anything outside." ”

"No way, we're in a separate space." Spred's voice was also a little weak.

"Boring, boring." "It feels like you're imprisoned in a spaceship, by the way, weren't you also trapped in the base at the time, what did you do in those months?" ”

"Actually, it's about the same as it is now, but at least you can observe the situation of the planet outside the base, which is a little better than now." Spred replied.

"Otherwise, let's fight the landlord again." Ralph said from the side, but as soon as she finished speaking, she let out a sigh, "Forget it, it's been two weeks, it's boring, and there are no other games to play." ”

"Yes, yes, but-" Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "It's too complicated for you to play now, the cultural differences are too big." ”

Ralph sat down in his seat and shouted coquettishly, "Boring, what can I do?" ”

At this time, the Voyager spoke, "Actually, Captain, if you want to, there is still something to do these days. ”

"Huh? What can be done? Zhou Xin was a little curious.

"Today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, if the calendar of this ship is not wrong, the day after tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve of your Chinese people." The Voyager gave an unexpected suggestion.

"Chinese New Year's Eve?" Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "Is the time so fast, I don't know, it's actually the New Year." ”

"New Year? What is this? Ralph asked curiously.

"It's not a thing." Zhou Xin reluctantly explained, "It is a traditional festival, or celebration, for our people. Zhou Xin explained for most of the day, but Spred and Ralph still didn't understand, and finally Zhou Xin had no choice but to ask the Voyager to show them some information about the Spring Festival.

Seeing them looking at the information about the Spring Festival with great interest, Zhou Xin could only sigh speechlessly at the cultural differences. But then he put this idea behind him and seriously thought about the arrangements for the Spring Festival.

Just as Zhou Xin was thinking, Spred and Ralph had already finished watching the short film introducing the Spring Festival, and Ralph interrupted Zhou Xin's thinking with an excited face, "What an interesting celebration, I've thought about it, I've thought about it, let's get ready." ”

Seeing Ralph's unusually excited, Zhou Xin felt very strange, "Didn't you celebrate before?" ”

Spred also showed an excited look, "We used to have to fight against difficult circumstances, how can we have time to hold celebrations, the only celebration is to commemorate the anniversary of the global union, even on this day we only have half a day off, it is too late to rest, where is there time to celebrate." ”

"Okay." Seeing that even Spred showed an excited look, Spred said helplessly, "It seems that this Spring Festival is not going to work, so let's go and prepare." ”

"What am I going to do, what am I going to do?" Ralph asked as he scrambled to the side.

"Uh- I just called the Voyager to prepare. Well, you just have to be in charge of playing. ”

"That's not good, I watched the video, and the preparation activities before the Spring Festival were also very fun. There are all kinds of food and all kinds of food, I want to eat, I want to eat. "Ralph's eyes are full of food.

After more than five months of getting along, Spred and Ralph completely fell in love with the food of the Huaxia tribe, even if it was just home-cooked food, but they still found it very delicious, and they had just seen food on the video that they had never seen before, and Ralph was immediately fascinated.

"......" Zhou Xin patted her head, "I don't think you want to celebrate the holiday, you just want to eat." ”

Ralph looked embarrassed, "But those things look delicious." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhou Xin was a little helpless, "Now the robot should just start preparing, and I'll take you to the kitchen later." ”

"Yay!" Ralph exclaimed excitedly, "I'll go and call Leia and them together." With that, she ran out of the command module.

By the way, over the past five months, the researchers from the Kilo base have adapted to life on board the Voyager. According to Spred, although their life on the ship was still inconvenient due to cultural differences, their mood was not as hopeless as before. Moreover, some researchers have begun to try to live on the ship without wearing protective clothing like Leia. However, it is slightly different from Leia's accident that they do not directly enter the life of 10 times the air pressure, but slowly increase the air pressure in their living area to slowly adapt to the environment inside the ship, according to Wren, this is a relatively safe way to adapt, and now the air pressure in the living area of the Thunder Star people has reached half of the atmospheric pressure, if there is no problem, after a while, all the Thunder people can live without relying on protective clothing. Nowadays, some brave people have taken off their protective clothing, and although there was some discomfort at first, they finally adapted to the high-pressure environment. In this way, their original living area is no longer suitable for these people, so Zhou Xin had to rearrange a temporary living area for these people who have adapted to the environment first.

Spred and Ralph were among the first Thunderers to adapt to the environment, and Spred was for communication and scientific research. And Ralph was to touch Xiaobai with his own hands faster, this reason made Zhou Xin cry and laugh, but Ralph secretly took off the protective suit with Spred behind his back, although there was no accident in the end, but Ralph was still taught a good lesson by Spred.

Seeing Ralph running out, Zhou Xin looked at Spred helplessly.

"Forget it, let her go." Spred said helplessly.

Then Zhou Xin chatted with Spred about the researchers, and heard that they were very satisfied with their current life, Zhou Xin was also happy, and after chatting for a while, Zhou Xin stood up, "It's almost time, I should take Ralph to the kitchen to have a look, otherwise she will start complaining about me." Zhou Xin said helplessly.

Looking at Spred's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhou Xin asked curiously: "Say whatever you want to say." Then Spred showed an embarrassed expression, Zhou Xin understood something, he asked with a smile, "Could it be that you want to go with you too?" Haha, don't be embarrassed, you can come if you want to. ”

Spred said embarrassedly, "Don't blame me for this, who made your food so delicious." Haha-ha-ha-" He smiled awkwardly.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Zhou Xin comforted, "Even in our civilization, other races are full of praise for our race's food. Come, come with me. ”

Zhou Xin takes Spred to Ralph, who is talking to Leia and others about what she sees in the video.

"The food called spring rolls looks delicious, and the food called fish looks delicious, and there are ......," Ralph gushed there, but every word she said was inseparable from the word "eat".

Spred walked behind her and reached out and flicked her head, Ralph was startled and turned to see that it was Spred, and she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"What do you know all day except eating and eating?" Spred reproached indulgently, "I've never seen you eat like this before." ”

"It's delicious." Ralph said embarrassedly, and then he saw Zhou Xin behind Spred, and he exclaimed happily, "Uncle Captain, Uncle Captain, are you here to take us to the kitchen?" I can't wait. ”

"How many times have you said it, don't call me Uncle Captain anymore." Zhou Xin's face was black, "Come on, take you to the kitchen." ”

took them to the kitchen, and saw that the robots in the kitchen were already busy, Zhou Xin said to them, "Okay, this is the kitchen, remember not to mess with those robots." After saying that, he said to a robot next to him, prepare a stove for me, I want to make something.

led Zhou Xin to an idle stove, and the robot left to do his own thing, and Ralph, who had just followed Zhou Xin, followed Ralph around to look for something as early as Zhou Xin finished his last sentence, only Spred noticed Zhou Xin's abnormality, and he followed Zhou Xin to the front of the stove.

Looking at the stove full of ingredients, Spred asked curiously, "What are you going to do, prepare to cook your own meal?" ”

"I used to celebrate the festival with my friends every year." Zhou Xin said while copying the materials next to him, "I haven't cooked for a year, and my skills are a little rusty, so I will practice before thirty." ”

"Need help?" Spred picked up a piece of meat next to him, "What is this, and how is it going to be done?" He looked a little at a loss.

Zhou Xin watched speechlessly as he turned over and over with a piece of meat, "Forget it, you still watch me do it, and I'll call you when I need you." ”

Zhou Xin began to skillfully chop vegetables and cook, and after making a few dishes, Zhou Xin tasted them, and then nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that I haven't done the craft for a year or I am not rusty." Then he saw a disappointed Ralph approaching.

"Nothing is done." Ralph pouted, "No fun, huh, what are these?" He saw a few dishes prepared by Zhou Xin.

"This is what I made, you can taste it." Zhou Xin pushed the dishes in front of Ralph.

"Do you know how to cook?" Ralph was a little skeptical.

"Just taste it."

Ralph tasted it, and then she couldn't stop, her mouth kept saying that it was delicious, and after devouring it for a while, she realized that there were still people around her, and she said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect Uncle Captain's craftsmanship to be so good, you all come and try it, hey, what is this dish." She pushed the dish to Leia, and then he saw a pot that Zhou Xin had placed on the stove that had not been handed over.

"This isn't done yet—" Before Zhou Xin could finish speaking, Ralph shoved a mouthful into his mouth.

"Bah, what is this, so unpalatable." As soon as he put it in his mouth, Ralph spit it out.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, you didn't do it well." Zhou Xin said helplessly.

Zhou Xin took out some more dough from the board, and then said: "The next thing to make is called 'dumplings', which is a very famous food in our civilization, but this kind of food is only interesting when it is made together, so I am waiting for you to come over." You see what I do, and you learn to do it. ”

Zhou Xin picked up the dough and wrapped it skillfully, watching Zhou Xin wrap a few, Ralph and they also picked up the dough and started to make it, but they either didn't wrap it tightly, or they simply poked a hole in the dough.

"Why is it so hard?" Ralph complained while wrapping it awkwardly, looking at Zhou Xin's skillful technique, she asked curiously, "Why are you so skilled?" ”

"If you do more, you will be proficient." Zhou Xin said, "Wrap well, our rule here is to wrap and eat by yourself, so I said-" Seeing the dumplings of different shapes wrapped by Ralph, "You can solve these dumplings yourself." He laughs.

Ralph had a sad face, and she turned her head to look at Leia, and found that the shapes of her bags were better than her own, and Ralph's face was even more bitter.

"Can you not wrap it?" She asked with a bitter face.

"Yes." Zhou Xin replied casually, seeing her with a happy expression, "But you don't have to do it today, you have to do it yourself on the night of the New Year, you can think about it." He teased Ralph.

Ralph grimaced and picked up a new piece of dough......

On the third day, the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, Zhou Xin dressed up the interior of the Voyager a little, and then gathered those researchers together and held a small celebration, of course, before the celebration, it was inevitable to make dumplings, watching them clumsily wrap dumplings one by one, Zhou Xin remembered the scene when he used to celebrate the New Year with the crew. After wrapping the dumplings, the celebration officially began, and after a few brief opening remarks, Zhou Xin walked off the stage to let them move on their own, while he took a glass of wine alone, walked to the corner of the hall, and watched those Lei Xing people talking and laughing in the hall, Zhou Xin's thoughts returned to the past.

"What are you thinking?" Spred saw Zhou Xin's abnormality, and he walked over with some food in his hand.

Following Zhou Xin's gaze, Spred said thoughtfully, "Are you thinking about your crew whose life and death are unknown?" ……”
