"Uncle Captain! Over here! Come here! In the ecological cabin, Aina was shouting at Zhou Xin, who was slowly walking towards her behind her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Not only Zhou Xin, but beside him, Spred, Dart, and many others were also walking towards Aina.

It has been nearly half a year since the Voyager left, and although there is no shortage of entertainment facilities on the spacecraft, the boring warp speed flight and the experience of staying on the spaceship for a long time inevitably make many people feel bored, even Zhou Xin is no exception. Because of the warp speed flight, there are not many things to deal with on the Voyager, and even if Zhou Xin really wants to be lazy, he can completely leave most of the affairs to the Voyager and Atlas. Of course, if that were the case, he really had nothing to do. In order to avoid making his laziness a habit, Zhou Xin still insisted on staying in the command cabin for at least an hour every day, even if it was just to observe the operation of the Voyager.

In view of the fact that many people, and even Spred, have begun to complain to himself about the idea that he has nothing to do, Zhou Xin is starting to be a little concerned. After asking these boring people, he finally understood that it was not that all the entertainment on the Voyager had been experienced by them, just think about the huge library of movies and television on the Voyager to know that it was impossible. A lot of people just suffer from travel burnout, and those who are busy with work every day are fine, and those who have fewer things to do get bored every day. After thinking about it, he brought a lot of familiar people to the eco-cabin, wanting to hold a random event here to distract them.

However, from the time they were summoned until they came to the eco-cabin, Zhou Xin didn't know what activities should be held. While on the way, he also asked others for their opinions. At first, their ideas were relatively normal, and Christie's idea of holding a party was supported by many people, but the more they got to the end, their ideas became more and more bizarre, and there were even some fighting contests, foodie contests and the like, which made Zhou Xin feel a little crying and laughing. This debate did not stop until they stepped into the eco-pod.

However, on the way to the eco-cabin, Zhou Xin, who followed behind everyone, found that the people who had complained to him about their boredom were no longer as decadent as when they had just been summoned before, but instead had a cheerful look on their faces and a slow anticipation of the event. At first, he thought it was a little strange, but after thinking about it, he understood a little. In fact, these people are not as boring as they say they are, they just spend a lot of time alone or several people together during the journey, and they lack communication with more people. Just get them to be with more people, like they are today, and the problem will be solved.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xin hurriedly asked the person in charge of the Voyager and various other places to check if anyone else had a similar situation. Spred, who was walking in front of Zhou Xin, heard Zhou Xin's words, he turned his head and whispered to Zhou Xin: "It seems that you finally found out." ”

"So you found out a long time ago?" Ending the conversation with the Voyager, Zhou Xin asked.

"I just noticed something was wrong." Spred replied, "You know, as a researcher, I've been confronted with a lot of boring information every day for a long time, and if I was bored, I would have been bored a long time ago, so how could I just say it now." It's just that I found that Ralph's mood was a little low during this time, and I couldn't say the specific reason when I asked her, and I could only get the word boring, and I couldn't find a specific reason, so I had to ask you what you can do. As he spoke, he glanced at Ralph, who was walking at the front of the group, with concern. Now she is not in the mood she just mentioned, but she is happily chatting with Christy and Aina around her.

Chatting and chatting, they arrived at the door of the eco-cabin. As soon as the gate was opened, Ralph, who was walking at the front of the group, rushed in with a few people around him. Aina also turned her head and shouted back Zhou Xin, so the opening scene happened.

This time, Zhou Xin took them to the No. 2 ecological cabin that had not been opened for a long time. Although the damage suffered here has been repaired long ago, and even the ecosystem inside has been restored to normal levels. But because of the rat plague he suffered at the beginning, and the abnormally growing tree that he couldn't bear to destroy at that time, Zhou Xin has always been a little uneasy about this place. So usually he just lets the robot maintain this place, basically does not allow others to enter, and even he hasn't been here for a long time. However, it has been nearly two years since the eco-cabin was repaired, and the Voyager has not found any anomalies here, and even Zhou Xin once asked Atlas to investigate it, and she finally came to the same conclusion as the Voyager.

In the process of investigation, the giant tree also aroused her interest in research, and Zhou Xin also wanted to know why the tree grew like this, so he agreed to the little girl's research. In the end, however, Atlas's findings were not as good as they could have been. He had only discovered the genes that caused the tree to grow violently, and what made it different from other plants. As for the cause of these phenomena, Atlas could not come up with a reasonable explanation, but vaguely believed that it was related to the Voyager's journey through the wormhole.

"People have never experienced wormhole travel, so they don't know what kind of anomalies will happen during the process of crossing the wormhole, so they can only rely on the information recorded in the little sister's database. But she didn't have a lot of information recorded when the ship passed through the wormhole, and based on that little bit of information, people couldn't analyze anything useful. Looking at the giant tree that came into view as soon as he entered the door of the ecological cabin, Zhou Xin recalled what Atlas said at that time.

After recalling the little girl's words, Zhou Xin began to carefully observe the giant tree in the distance. The tree seemed to have grown a lot more than the last time I saw it. Originally, its canopy occupied less than a third of the area of the eco-chamber, but now almost the entire ceiling of the eco-chamber has been covered. The light directly above could only shine through the gaps between the leaves, making the entire pod 2 much dimmer compared to the rest of the room. Zhou Xinzhi was not particularly surprised by this, he had already learned from the Voyager's report that the tree was still growing. For this reason, Voyager has an extra job of sending robots to prune the branches and leaves of the giant tree every once in a while, so that its overgrowth does not destroy the ceiling of the eco-cabin.

What made Zhou Xin a little strange was that the growth of this tree seemed to be a little out of line with the laws of nature. According to Atlas's analysis, the environment in the eco-chamber today is not enough to support its growth. If nothing else, all the nutrients in the second eco-chamber alone will only be able to sustain it until it grows to half its current size, not to mention other restrictions. But now, Zhou Xin looked down at the ground, and he could see at a glance that the soil under his feet had not become barren because of the growth of the giant tree. Even the plants that were planted after the restoration of the eco-chamber were able to thrive, but they were only a little thin due to the lack of light.

In fact, when he was researching the giant tree, Atlas also did an experiment, that is, to completely turn off the light in the second ecological cabin. She wanted to see what would happen to the giant tree in such a situation, but what the little girl didn't expect was that even without light, the giant tree continued to grow, and even the speed of growth did not slow down in the slightest. After a few days of experimentation, the giant tree itself did not show any changes, but the growth of other plants was greatly affected. Seeing this, Atlas had no choice but to stop the experiment.

While Zhou Xin was thinking about this, the others were stunned by the giant tree that occupied almost the entire ecological cabin. Most of them had basically only heard of the existence of this tree, and had not seen it with their own eyes, and even those who had seen it had been a long time ago when the tree had not grown like this, so their surprise was inevitable. In addition to being surprised, everyone was inevitably curious about the giant tree, so many people rushed straight towards the trunk of the giant tree.

Although Zhou Xin had seen the tree when he asked Atlas to study it before, what he saw at that time was only a partial picture of the little girl, and he hadn't seen the whole tree for a long time. Therefore, when Zhou Xin came back to his senses and saw the giant tree for the first time, he was also a little surprised.

"I didn't expect it to look like this now." Spred was one of the few people who had seen the tree before, but when he saw it again, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"yes, I didn't expect that." After saying this, he said in detail with a wry smile: "Although this tree did not cause any harm to the spaceship itself, it still caused a lot of trouble. It's growing so fast that the robot has to prune it every ten days, and each time it cuts a lot of leaves and leaves that I don't know what to do, and I don't even know why it's growing so fast. By the way, he also briefed Spred on Atlas's research results.

After listening to Zhou Xin's introduction, Spred thought for a long time, then shook his head, "I can't think of why, but according to you, this tree is indeed a bit weird." Then he suggested, "If this tree is causing trouble, why don't you clean it up?" ”

"That's what I used to think." Zhou Xin spread his hands, "But this tree was mutated because we passed through the wormhole, and it was not only this tree that had abnormalities in the spaceship at that time, but also my companions. Speaking of this, Zhou Xin's tone became heavy, "Although I don't know if there is a connection between the two, this is the only clue that can be studied other than them, maybe after understanding the reason for the mutation of this tree, I will be able to know why my companions are still sleeping for a long time, do you think I will easily destroy it?" Glancing at Spred, Zhou Xin added, "What's more, for those sleeping companions, most of the harmful research methods cannot be used on them. It's different with this tree, and I can apply all my research methods to it. Then his voice was a little lost, "It's a pity that the research has not yielded any useful results so far." ”

Only this matter Spred didn't know how to comfort Zhou Xin, and the scene suddenly quieted down. Following side by side at the end of the line, the two of them slowly walked forward.

By the time Zhou Xin walked in front of the giant tree, the others had already chased after him. Until the end, they didn't discuss what kind of event they were going to hold. But for them, it doesn't really matter what kind of event they organize, the important thing is that they can be together lively.

Regarding Zhou Xin's previous order to prohibit entering the No. 2 ecological cabin, the only thing that didn't have an effect was the little prairie rat Xiaobai he met here. After all, this is its birthplace, so Zhou Xin let it come and go freely here. Because he was very busy later, Zhou Xin spent less and less time with Xiaobai every day, but it didn't seem to care, and he was running around on the spaceship every day, and his small figure could be seen everywhere. In the end, everyone on the spaceship was more familiar with it than Zhou Xin, and they would always tease it twice every time they encountered it.

Of course, although it runs inside the spacecraft all day, the place where it spends most time every day is still the second eco-cabin, and today is certainly no exception. Seeing so many people here at once, Xiaobai seemed to be very excited, and when Ralph and the others walked near the trunk of the tree, it came out of the house, and now it took Ralph and them around here like a master, and at the same time kept barking, as if to introduce this place to others. Although they couldn't understand what Xiaobai was saying, the others didn't care, but happily watched it scurrying around the trunk.

In addition to Ralph, the others brought by Zhou Xin also found their own activities that suited them. Seeing that their current performance was no longer as decadent as before, Zhou Xin finally put his mind at ease. So, he and Spred found a place to sit down, and then they started chatting casually.

However, this joyous scene did not last long, and the unexpected happened......
