"Today is the fifty-first day."

He said in his heart that the dream time was already halfway through. In the blink of an eye, Yang Jinxia had been on the Dawn for ten days.

Today is an important day. After washing, he changed into new clothes.

On the Aurora, some rules are very strict. For example, those living in the C-level area can only wear uniforms. In the B-level area, there are more styles of uniforms. Only in the A-level area can you have freedom of dress.

In fact, this regulation was originally intended to save resources and avoid building too many garment factories. Later, it became a way to show one's status.

Chen Xu was wearing a standard casual suit. He didn't have too many requirements for clothing, as long as it was comfortable.

After washing up, he walked out of the room. Breakfast was already prepared in the dining room. There was soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table.

"How can these be available?" He was a little surprised that he could actually eat soy milk and fried dough sticks on the spaceship.

Yang Jinxia was washing dishes in the kitchen. She put down her things, hung the dishcloth back in place, walked out, and said with a smile, "As long as you think of a way, you can always do it."

Chen Xu thought about it and it made sense. When the Dawn was first built, production issues were taken into consideration. The entire industrial chain was brought up and everything could be produced.

"Thank you." He sat down in his seat.

Yang Jinxia had already poured a bowl of soy milk and placed it in front of him. She also sat down and said, "You are going to use the learning machine today, so eat more."

Chen Xu thought about the aftereffects of using the learning machine and looked at the white soy milk in the bowl, feeling a little nauseous.

She noticed that he looked a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm just a little nervous." Chen Xu explained, taking a sip of soy milk. "The human brain can only hold a limited amount of knowledge. The time interval is relatively short this time, so there's a chance I might fail."

Using a learning machine is not 100% successful. The more frequently you use it, the lower the success rate. In his case, he used it three times in less than two months. His brain might be overloaded and produce a stress response. At that time, the learning opportunity was forced to stop.

If this happens, it will cause serious damage to the brain, and you will not be able to use the learning machine in a short period of time. You will have to wait at least a year.

Yang Jinxia said, "In this case, why not postpone it for a while."

"No." Chen Xu shook his head and said, "I have a feeling that if I don't use it today, I may not have another chance in the future."

She was a little confused, "Why?"

Chen Xu looked at her and said, "Think about our previous experiences. We always had a few days of peace before something unexpected happened. Although everything is calm now, I can feel that there are dangers that we are not aware of, quietly approaching."

Yang Jinxia held his hand, feeling that he was a little nervous, and said, "No matter what danger you encounter, I will be with you."

Chen Xu looked into her eyes for a while before saying, "I know."

After a while, Yang Jinxia pulled her hand back and said, "Eat it, it will get cold soon."

He nodded, took a fried dough stick and started eating.

After breakfast, Chen Xu was about to go out. Just as he opened the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "How about I take you back to your spaceship. There are robots there to protect you."

Yang Jinxia shook her head slowly but firmly and said, "No, it's enough for me to have you protect me."

Chen Xu looked at her deeply, and without further persuasion, he said, "I'm leaving."

…………

The Dawn has a rule that combat robots like S01 are not allowed to enter. Only robots like 2003, who are judged by the system to be non-threatening, can enter. But they can only move within a fixed range and cannot leave at will.

Chen Xu couldn't release those robots. Once Taichu determined that it was a robot invasion, the spaceship would enter the ultimate combat mode and use all means to eliminate the enemy, including self-destruction.

Just as Chen Xu said just now, the dream is now halfway through and is approaching the second node.

The last crisis, whether it was the cube or the alien hatched by the queen, was extremely dangerous, and being able to successfully survive it was a matter of luck. The second node would often encounter a greater crisis, and he really had no confidence.

He had almost digested all the knowledge that was imparted to him last time, and he couldn't wait to use the learning machine for the third time, because he knew that time was running out.

He took the No. 0 transport capsule and headed for the learning base.

Taichu's voice rang out, "Are you sure you want to use the learning machine at this time?"

He said, "Let's not discuss what I have already decided."

Taichu said, "Well, good luck to you."

Chen Xu said nothing more, closed his eyes and tried his best to adjust his state to the best.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at the learning base.

"Identity confirmed, dear acting captain, your study time this time is eight hours, and the mode is soothing. The corresponding credit points have been deducted from your account. I hope you have a pleasant study."

Chen Xu lay down in the instrument again, closed his eyes, and soon fell into darkness.

…………

Suddenly, the light in the room flickered a few times and then dimmed.

"What's wrong?" She stood up with a serious look on her face, and suddenly, the light in the room returned again, as if nothing had happened.

She remembered what Chen Xu said in the morning and couldn't help but sigh, "Could it be that he really won't even give me a few days of peace?"

At this time, a voice sounded, "Madam, there was some malfunction at the power plant. We are very sorry for the inconvenience."

She raised her head and said, "You are Taichu, right?"

"Yes, ma'am."

She asked, "The power plant on the Dawn uses fusion power, right?"

"Yes. Due to a lack of manpower for routine maintenance, there was a minor malfunction in the power plant's operating procedures. Now, the power plant has been closed..."

Before Taichu finished speaking, the house suddenly shook violently, and various things fell to the ground with bangs. Even Yang Jinxia couldn't stand steadily and fell on the sofa.

She grabbed the handrail and asked, "Is it serious?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp voice rang out, "Level 1 alarm..." The lights in the room instantly turned into flashing red lights, showing how critical the situation was.

She stood up from the sofa, pulled a rubber band from her wrist, tied her hair up, and asked, "Where's Chen Xu?"

Taichu said, "He is still in the learning machine. The learning process cannot be interrupted. He must wait until the learning time is over before he can wake up."

"How long will it take?"

"Seven hours and thirty minutes."

"Can the Dawn last that long?"

"This power plant explosion did not affect the most important areas—"

Before Taichu finished speaking, there was another violent tremor, and then the whole room went dark. Its voice also disappeared.

She sighed, "It's really unreliable. 2003."

As she called, 2003 came out of the room with a beam of light shining from where his eyes were.

She walked to the wall, grabbed the handle, pressed and pulled, and pulled out a drawer with a lightweight space suit inside.

She quickly put on her space suit and the round transparent hood, and said, "Let's go find him."

…………

When Chen Xu woke up, his head felt a little dizzy, as if he had a cold. He didn't even hear the prompt sound of the learning machine. He climbed out of the instrument and walked straight out.

This time the study time was extended, but the most advanced Naqiang learning machine was used. The side effects were much smaller than before, and there was no feeling of nausea or vomiting.

As soon as the door of the learning base opened, he saw a red light flashing in the passage outside. He stared for a few seconds before realizing that something was happening. He walked out and shouted, "Taichu, what happened?"

Taichu's voice rang out, "There was an explosion at the power plant, damaging the surrounding communication base stations, causing a large-scale communication interruption on the Dawn..."

When Chen Xu heard this, he immediately perked up and said anxiously, "What are you waiting for? I'll go and fix it."

"That happened seven hours and thirty minutes ago." Taichu continued, "After the communication was interrupted, the operation of the other two power plants was affected. A few minutes later, the explosion also occurred. This time, a chain reaction occurred..."

Chen Xu was stunned. How could such a thing happen during the eight hours he spent on the learning machine? "Just tell me, how serious is the damage to the spacecraft?"

"The power system is almost paralyzed, and the power system is damaged by 90%..."

Chen Xu felt disappointed when he heard Taichu report a series of data.

He finally understood what the second test was. The spacecraft had an unexpected malfunction, and all humans worked together to repair the spacecraft...

However, the only humans on the Dawn now are him and Yang Jinxia, ​​as well as 990 artificial humans who are receiving education, and another 990 fetuses that have not yet been born from the incubator.

How to do this? Immediately, he thought of Yang Jinxia, ​​interrupted him and asked, "Where is my wife?"

Taichu said, "Still in the A-class residential area. Three minutes ago, she sent a message through the communicator in her space suit."

Without saying a word, Chen Xu walked to a marked location on the wall and pressed his hand on it. The wall popped up, revealing a space suit inside.

After he put it on, he said, "Send me her location."

"Take care of yourself."

When Chen Xu heard what it said, he looked back at the location of the camera and said, "Take care of yourself too." Then he walked out of the passage.
