Chapter 1 Two or Three Things on the Way
Let's turn our attention back to the Voyager. Worried that the unrepaired Voyager might have problems in the warp space, Zhou Xin stayed in the command cabin in addition to sleeping and even eating in the first few days after departure, and asked the Voyager to repeatedly inspect the whole ship in detail every day, sometimes even as many as five times a day, basically the last round of inspections had just ended, and a new round of inspections began. This continued for nearly a week, until Zhou Xin confirmed that the Voyager had suffered a small amount of damage to some seriously damaged parts that had not yet been repaired due to spatial distortion at the moment of entering warp space, and that even the most damaged underside of the bow had not changed in the following time.
"Brother Captain, you can rest assured, in other people's calculations, the most dangerous stage of the whole journey is the moment you enter and leave the warp space, and it is relatively safe to stay in the warp space, so there is no need to check the ship so often." On this day, when the Voyager completed another inspection of the whole ship, Atlas finally couldn't help but say to Zhou Xin.
"It's always a little uneasy not to check." Looking at the rows of words "normal" or "unchanged" on the small screen in front of him, Zhou Xin replied casually, "Moreover, in the warp space, what else can we do besides checking?" After a while, he added thoughtfully, "However, there have been no problems with the inspection for so many days, and it is true that there is no need to exaggerate like these days, and the future inspection will be changed to once a day." It doesn't run out of things and doesn't seem too frequent. Soon, he gave the order.
After giving the new instructions, Zhou Xin took a moment to go through the last small part of the inspection results on the screen, and then stretched his waist greatly. It wasn't until he came back to his senses after stretching and wanted the Voyager to inspect the ship again that he remembered that he had changed his orders. It wasn't until he was idle now that Zhou Xin realized how long he had been in the command cabin. After thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards the hatch.
Standing at the door of the command cabin, Zhou Xin hesitated for a while, and suddenly he was a little at a loss, not knowing where he should go next. Just as Zhou Xin was thinking about this question, his stomach reminded him. At this time, Zhou Xin realized that the time was close to noon, since this was the case, without thinking about it, Zhou Xin walked straight towards the restaurant. On his way to the restaurant, he unexpectedly ran into the children he had brought back from the planet Norsan.
"Hello." Zhou Xin greeted the children.
"Ship, Captain, good afternoon." Nunu replied with a slight stammer. At the same time, seeing Zhou Xin's appearance, some nervous looks suddenly appeared on the faces of those children. After staying on the Voyager for so long, they slowly began to realize Zhou Xin's status on the Voyager, so they also subconsciously became restrained when communicating.
Looking at the children in front of him who were obviously a little rusty and awe-inspiring about him, Zhou Xin easily guessed their thoughts, so he took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't be nervous, and don't have any scruples because of my identity, I am still the big brother who brought you back in the first place." Hearing Zhou Xin's comfort, the children's faces eased a lot.
"Are you going to lunch? In that case, let's go together. Seeing the changes in the children, Zhou Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't want to be estranged from any crew member because of his identity. Therefore, when he is not working, he tries to maintain equal communication with the crew. It has to be said that this approach was quite effective, not only strengthening the relationship between the two sides, but also giving the crew belonging to different civilizations a sense of belonging to the Voyager. This is also one of the reasons why the accident of the crew's malicious overdraft of physical strength in order to repair the spacecraft as soon as possible can happen.
On the way to the restaurant with the children, Zhou Xin asked, "How is it, have you adapted to life on the spaceship?" β
"There's nothing out of place." Hearing this, Nunu replied with a little excitement, "It's so much better here than before, and we all like our current life." Not only that, but those brothers and sisters are kind to us, but I really didn't expect that there are so many 'humans' here who are completely different from us. As soon as the words ended, the children who followed Nunu began to babble about the strange discoveries they had made on the Voyager during this time.
"That's for the best." Waiting until the children were a little quieter, Zhou Xin continued. Then he smiled and asked, "Well, I wasn't wrong before, there are more expansive places in the sky." β
"It's incredible." Speaking of this topic, Nunu suddenly became excited, "People never thought that the sky would be like this before, it'sβit'sβit'sβ" It was really a long time, and she couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective.
"This is just the beginning, as you will know in the future, there are many more unimaginable things in the universe." Zhou Xin said calmly. Next, chatting as they slowly made their way to the restaurant.
Because the Norsan children had only only been on board for a short time, and no one knew anything about them, even the children themselves, they were still in a state of idleness on the Voyager. Therefore, Zhou Xin wants to understand the characteristics of the children or their own ideas through this chat, so that he can make appropriate arrangements for them in the future.
While chatting casually, Zhou Xin and the children slowly came to the restaurant. Once here, the children didn't bother to chat with Zhou Xin, their attention was already focused on the food. Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin no longer forced them, but let them each find their favorite food.
After more than 10 minutes of selection and queuing, the children were content to reunite with their favorite foods. Then while eating, he continued to chat with Zhou Xin excitedly.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Xin suddenly thought of a question. Then, he didn't care about the topic he was talking about before, but said to Nunu and them apologetically: "I'm very sorry to take you out of the ...... without informing you."
