It's been more than a month since the Voyager left that troubled galaxy, and during this time, the Voyager has been flying normally in warp space, while the maintenance work inside the spacecraft is continuing, and everything seems to be nothing out of the ordinary. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 According to him, the reason why it was complicated to check it before was because the warp engine had not been used for a long time, and it was the first time it had been used on such a large ship, but in the previous shutdown inspection, they did not find anything unusual, and this time the trip was not long, only more than two months, so Spred did not think that there was any need to stop and do another inspection. Zhou Xin listened to Spred's advice, and he decided to go directly to the target galaxy without stopping along the way.

"So, repairs inside the ship are going to be made faster than expected?" On this day, Zhou Xin was listening to the report of the Voyager in the command cabin.

"Yes." The Voyager replied, "Those Atlanteans were a great help in the repairs. At the beginning, they were basically still in a state of onlookers, but after getting acquainted with it for a while, they quickly got started. In the last month, with their help, the cabin has been repaired at least a tenth faster than before. But then the Voyager reminded, "But while the speed of repairs has increased, so has the depletion of the resources stored on the ship, please pay attention to this, Your Excellency." ”

"That's not a problem." Zhou Xin replied indifferently, "The resources on the ship are not enough for three months, and this time we don't have to take the time to stop and check the warp engine on the road, it won't be enough for the road." Still, he instructed, "Anyway, just remember to remind me when a certain resource on the ship is less than one-tenth, and then make a decision." ”

"Understood."

As soon as the Voyager's words fell, Atlas's voice was heard, "Brother Captain, people are so bored, when can we leave the warp space?" While shouting, the figure of the little girl appeared on the screen, and she jumped up and down on the screen, showing her presence in front of Zhou Xin.

On the second day after entering the warp space, Atlas quickly lost interest in the warp engine after manipulating the probe to explore the unique warp space created by the warp engine. By the third day, she had regained her previous vibrancy, and many of them had begun to have bad luck on this day, either by finding that there was something extra in their shoes when they first got up to put on their shoes, or by eating an extremely strange taste at breakfast. Those who drank sweet soy milk or salted soy milk were fine, but the taste was much heavier than usual, and the most exaggerated thing was that a few people actually ate chili peppers from their breakfast, resulting in a lot more water consumption than usual that morning, of course, there are many other pranks, which will not be listed here.

Among the people who have been tricked have begun to include the Thunder Star people, and before Atlas did not dare to play tricks on them, but now that they are familiar, it doesn't matter who they are. The people who were tricked basically knew who did it, and even a few Lei Xing people who were tricked for the first time also understood it under the reminder of others. Many people couldn't laugh or cry about this, but they didn't care about Atlas, and the worst person who was teased was nothing more than a change for breakfast. Zhou Xin also learned from the later report of the Voyager that there was a lot of turmoil that morning, and Zhou Xin was also very helpless about this, because Atlas's authority on the ship was the same as that of the Voyager, unless Zhou Xin explicitly forbade her to enter the place, otherwise many places on the ship that others could not enter were basically in an undefended state for Atlas, which also caused her pranks to be basically everywhere. For example, in the ship's galley, except for a few people, only robots can enter and exit for cooking, but I didn't expect Atlas to sneak in, and then move on to breakfast.

Although it was useless to know, Zhou Xin still called Atlas out that afternoon to teach her a lesson, but after the little girl showed an expression that was about to cry, Zhou Xin's heart softened, so he only said a few words to her, and Zhou Xin let her go helplessly. Of course, after Zhou Xin let himself go, Atlas spent a lot of time coquettish to him, even more than Zhou Xin taught her, Zhou Xin looked helplessly at the little girl who lied to himself for more than half an hour, and then said "I'm going to play." The sound disappeared directly from the screen.

Let's put the time back to the present, after hearing Atlas's voice, Zhou Xin couldn't help but feel a headache, but she still reassured: "Wait a minute, don't you know our plan, we can reach the target location in about a month." ”

"It's been a month, three days and twenty-one hours." Atlas replied accurately, "But people are dying of boredom, brother captain, you can't make the ship faster, and everyone is about to shut down." Then she muttered, "Warp flight is really slow, or our hyperspace jump is good, this distance, it only takes a few days to get there." ”

"I want to, too." Zhou Xin replied helplessly, "But the power of that warp engine is so big, I can't help it." ”

"Boring! Bored! Bored! The little girl showed a frantic expression, and she said angrily, "Brother Captain, if someone copied the hyperspace engine, would you install it for the little sister?" ”

"Do you have the full blueprints of the hyperspace engine?" Hearing what Atlas said, Zhou Xin suddenly felt a burst of surprise, and he hurriedly asked.

"Of course, you don't look at who I am." The little girl said proudly, but then her voice was a little disappointed, "But your technology is very different from ours, the repair module you told you about before has only just made a little bit of an eyebrow now, and if you want to build a hyperspace engine from scratch, it will take more time." She lowered her head and pinched her fingers and calculated, "It is estimated that it will take at least fifty years for the first prototype to be put into trial operation." Then she suddenly remembered something, "That's right, those grandfathers told people before, saying that people can no longer get in touch with things related to hyperspace research, so they can only give you the drawings, and the rest can only rely on your own research." ”

After listening to Atlas's words, Zhou Xin felt a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he felt that this kind of thing could not be forced, so he was relieved, he thought about it for a while, and then said to Atlas: "Then you better try to get the repair cabin out first, and the rest will be talked about later." As for the drawings of the hyperspace engine, don't take them out yet, we are currently working on the existing warp engine, and if there are more hyperspace engines, it may not be too busy. And according to Spred, this warp engine is only a test machine, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, maybe after the improvement, the speed of warp flight will also catch up with the speed of hyperspace flight. ”

"Oh-" After listening to the first half of Zhou Xin's sentence, Atlas agreed, and after hearing the second half of Zhou Xin's sentence, the little girl's eyes seemed to glow, "Study the warp engine, people also want to participate, people also want to participate." In the end, she also brought a coquettish tone.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Xin felt in his heart that it seemed that there was no harm in involving Atlas in the research of the warp engine, so he finally agreed. Hearing Zhou Xin's agreement, Atlas's cheers suddenly sounded in the command cabin, but Zhou Xin still asked uneasily, "You want to build a repair cabin and study the warp engine, are you busy?" ”

"Don't worry, Brother Captain, you don't look at who I am." The little girl on the screen looked up, "It's all trivial, believe it or not, they still have time to play with them." ”

"......" a cold sweat broke out on Zhou Xin's forehead, "This is still exempt, you should play less tricks on some people in the future." For the concept of "play" in Atlas's mind, Zhou Xin now also understands something.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong." Atlas said casually, and then she returned to the previous topic, "Brother Captain, I'm bored, what else can I do?" ”

"Aren't you already doing so much, and you're bored." Zhou Xin felt helpless.

"That's it, there's a lot of it." Atlas replied, and she continued, "Boring, boring, boring. ”

"I asked you to study the galaxy we're going to, how is the research?" Under Atlas's complaints, Zhou Xin suddenly remembered what he had ordered before.

"That's it." Atlas replied, "It only took a few days to study it, do you want to know now, brother Captain?" ”

Asking Atlas to wait for a while, Zhou Xin called both Spred and Dart to the command module, and then he motioned for Atlas to continue. But Atlas, who was waiting for Zhou Xin's call on the screen, conjured a recliner in the corner of the screen in this short period of time, and then fell asleep on the chaise longone, and a cute snot bubble came out of her nostrils.

Seeing the little girl's movements on the screen, Zhou Xin couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that she didn't really want to sleep, Zhou Xin decisively woke her up, as Zhou Xin expected, Atlas was pretending. After hearing Zhou Xin's voice, the recliner turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in an instant, and after a short moment of smoke, the little girl stood on the screen again, Zhou Xin found that at this moment, Atlas actually had time to change a set of clothes, although he understood that for artificial intelligence, changing clothes was a matter of thought, but looking at the little girl on the screen Zhou Xin still had a strange feeling.

Shaking his head, Zhou Xin drove away this strange feeling, and then asked Atlas to start introducing the information about the target galaxy obtained from the star map left by the Atlanteans during this time.

As soon as Zhou Xin's words fell, Atlas stretched out his left hand and snapped his fingers, and with this snap of his fingers, the picture on the screen began to change, a star map appeared behind the little girl, and everyone focused on the star map.

"It's not—" Before Zhou Xin's words were finished, Atlas's panicked voice came, "Oh, people are mistaken, it's not this star map." At the same time as her voice sounded, the picture on the screen changed again, and another unfamiliar star map appeared, "This one is right." Atlas said with a sigh of relief. Zhou Xin didn't care about Atlas's negligence, but let her continue.

Atlas conjured the familiar baton again, pointing to the star map on the screen, and she finally began her normal introduction:

"According to the astrological chart left by Grandpa Gurans, there should be eight planets on the planet we are about to go to." Atlas used his baton to point out the orbits of the eight planets depicted on the star map one by one, Zhou Xin had seen this star map before, and had a certain understanding of the orbits of the eight planets, and he had long known that the orbits of the eight planets in this galaxy were a bit strange. However, it was the first time the others had seen the orbits of the planets in the system, and they didn't think it was strange at first, but when Atlas's baton swept over the orbits of the fourth and fifth planets, everyone was surprised. Unlike the one they left from, the eight planets in the target system all orbited on the same plane, and none of the planets had their orbits heavily offset. However, the distribution of these eight planets is very strange, they are like two opposing groups of people, divided into two distinct parts - the four inner planets and the outer four planets have a very wide blank area, in this area, nothing is marked on the star map, which is why everyone is surprised to see the orbits of the fourth and fifth planets.

"What's in the empty space between these two planets?" The first time he saw this blank space, Spred asked in surprise, "Is it an unknown area?" ”

"It's just blank." Atlas replied, "The description of this area on the star map is normal space, not an unknown area......
