Although the ship is small, it has everything you need. Besides the control room, there are rest rooms, a dining room, and activity rooms. Once the ship is officially launched, it operates almost entirely automatically; the pilot only needs to set the coordinates and then can move freely. Before entering the space jump, the ship will instruct everyone to lie down in their respective secure cabins to prevent being thrown out by the ship's violent shaking.

Before entering space, the ship continuously accelerated to escape the planet's gravity. The ship's passageway was lined with fixed seats and straps, which Xiang Wan curiously looked around upon upon entering. Xuan Yuanlie explained as they walked, and only after Xiang Wan understood did he have her stand beside him to demonstrate how to secure herself firmly with the straps. Xiang Wan studied diligently. These straps were quite convenient to use, though their appearance was a bit strange, resembling an octopus clinging to her body.

Comparing herself to the characters in the novel, she couldn't help but silently criticize herself: "All those novels I read before were fake! All that stuff about ships having built-in gravity systems and being able to move freely—it's all a lie!" The ship was accelerating; if she hadn't been strapped in, she'd probably be rolling around everywhere by now. The pressure from the inertia was incredibly uncomfortable, and she couldn't speak—speaking made her want to vomit. Even with the vacuum helmet on, she could still feel the violent vibrations of the ship's flight. She couldn't imagine what her eardrums would have ruptured and she'd be bleeding profusely if she hadn't worn the helmet.

After flying for more than ten minutes, the discomfort finally subsided. Xuan Yuanlie took off his helmet, untied the straps, and seeing that Xiang Wan's face was a little pale, he walked over and helped her off the seat.

"It's inevitable to feel a little uncomfortable the first time you sit in it. It was my oversight; I should have practiced beforehand, and then it wouldn't have been so uncomfortable."

Xiang Wan couldn't speak; she felt nauseous the moment she tried. Xuan Yuanlie walked as if on flat ground, and Xiang Wan was carried away by him, practically floating. She felt a little better once they entered the rest room. Several team members were already resting there, but they looked rather strange—some were standing horizontally against the wall, others were sitting upside down on the ceiling. Xiang Wan felt even more dizzy looking at them.

"You lot, get down here!"

"yes!"

A group of figures immediately stood in front of him, and Xuan Yuanlie scolded, "You've just entered space and you're already enjoying yourself? Is this how you train? Take off the devices on your shoes, and don't wear them for an hour!"

Upon hearing this, the men all wore pained expressions, pulled a small device from the sole of their shoes, and handed it to Xuan Yuanlie. They began to float, and Xiang Wan finally felt a little better. After turning a corner, Xuan Yuanlie placed a device under Xiang Wan's shoe, and this time she no longer had to float.

"This is a simulated gravity buckle. Wearing it on the sole of your shoe will allow you to walk like a normal person."

This thing is quite high-tech. Xiang Wan curiously picked one up and examined it. She found a metal piece inside, which looked like gold but wasn't, and it was quite heavy.

"This is a special metal from space. The ship has a special simulated gravity system that can be used to firmly fix your feet to the metal wall of the ship, so you don't have to float around like before."

So that's how it is. No wonder those people looked constipated when they heard about removing the device. Being a ghost really isn't easy. Forgive Xiang Wan for laughing so heartlessly; they had this thing and didn't even remind her after coming up, just watching her make a fool of herself.

Xuanyuan Lie gave a brief introduction, but was soon called away on business. Before leaving, he summoned a soldier and asked him to take care of things.

The soldier snapped to attention and saluted Xiang Wan, saying seriously, "Hello, my name is Qian Xiaoqi, code name 0748, nice to meet you!"

Xiang Wan smiled. This soldier was about the same age as her, with a slightly immature face, but his demeanor already showed the style of a soldier. Moreover, his name was interesting, the same as that arrogant system!

"Hello, my name is Xiang Wan. I wouldn't dare to offer you guidance; I've troubled you in many ways, so please continue to guide me. From now on, I'll call you Xiao Qi, but you can call me Xiang Wan."

Xiang Wan extended her hand, intending to shake his hand politely, but he looked at her with a puzzled expression for a long time, unsure of what she wanted. Xiang Wan had no choice but to explain, "This is our planet's etiquette. Shaking hands is a sign of friendliness when we meet for the first time."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaoqi stiffly reached out to grab it, then immediately withdrew her hand, her face slightly flushed.

"Hey, why is your face red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no, it's not like that. Your hands are too soft, like a woman's."

After saying this, Qian Xiaoqi's face turned even redder, and even the roots of her neck turned crimson.

What an honest boy, quite interesting. However, Xiang Wan can't let him misunderstand like this, after all, she is a ship on a man's back.

“Xiao Qi,” Xiang Wan cleared her throat and pretended to be serious, “you’re still too green. A soft hand doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a woman, and a hard hand doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a man.”

Qian Xiaoqi looked puzzled. Xiang Wan shook her head, patted Qian Xiaoqi's shoulder, and sighed, "Oh, what a pitiful child. He's become a soldier and can't even tell the difference between men and women. Your general should really take him seriously, otherwise, I can't even imagine what will happen in the future!"

After speaking, Xiang Wan, dragging her feet equipped with the gravity device, began to adapt to life on the ship. Poor Qian Xiaoqi, after hearing Xiang Wan's words, began to doubt whether he truly couldn't distinguish his gender. And thanks to Xiang Wan, his confusion about men and women only worsened, to the point where he even began to doubt whether his own general was male or female. Of course, that's a story for later.

Following behind Xiang Wan, Qian Xiaoqi began to dutifully act as her teacher. Xiang Wan asked about everything she saw, such as why water doesn't spill from a cup, how food is made, how to take a bath, where to sleep, how to use the toilet, and so on. Like a curious child, Xiang Wan asked about everything. Sometimes, when she asked how their generals dealt with their bodily functions, Qian Xiaoqi's face turned bright red, and he stammered for a long time, unable to answer. Xiang Wan liked to tease him like this to lighten the mood. Anyone would get impatient being questioned for ages by someone who knows nothing, just like an adult being asked by a child why one plus one equals two or why water is transparent. What the adult considers obvious, the child simply doesn't know. Asking too many questions can be annoying. Of course, Xiang Wan wouldn't ask such pointless questions, but there was so much she didn't know, and future technology was so revolutionary that she was unconsciously drawn into the subject of her curiosity.

After spending over an hour with Qian Xiaoqi, Xiang Wan had learned everything she needed to know, so she went to the lounge to get some water. Qian Xiaoqi refused to follow, making an excuse to go to the restroom and running off. Xiang Wan chuckled; the girl had been thoroughly amused by her, and fearing she might ask some strange questions, she nearly bumped her head on the doorframe as she left.

Everyone got busy, leaving Xiang Wan alone in the lounge. She stared blankly at the water glass in her hand, gazing at the round spheres of water inside. The water was encased in an edible membrane as it flowed from the spout. When she drank, she took a small sip, and the membrane immediately sealed the opening. This kind of technology was something she could never have imagined in her entire life. There was so much to learn; she needed to adapt to life here as quickly as possible.

Leaving with Xuan Yuanlie is several years earlier than in the original storyline, so it's necessary to plan things out carefully.
