There is power in silence.
He felt this kind of pressure right now. Just as he put down the spoon, Yang Jinxia had already pulled out two tissues and handed them to him. He took them and wiped his mouth. Noticing the change in Bai Jinxuan's expression, he felt even more headache.
He felt that he had to say something, so he said, "Or else, show me around."
Yang Jinxia said, "Okay."
Finally someone spoke. Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and followed them to visit their camp.
The camp was divided into living area, work area and planting area. Each area occupied one-third of the area. In fact, it was similar to Chen Xu's camp, but the area of the camp there was larger. Even without the colonization suit, it was much larger than here.
While walking around, Chen Xu learned some information about the camp from them.
In fact, when he saw so many robots outside just now, he knew the difference between the two exploration teams.
Most of the landing ships on their side are equipped with robots and drones.
Chen Xu only brought a few small drones, and the empty space was filled with large engineering vehicles and materials for a larger camp.
They turned around and returned to the living room.
Once in the living room, the two women stopped talking again.
Chen Xu said, "It's almost time, why don't you take a nap?"
Bai Jinxuan shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy."
On the other side, Yang Jinxia's smile was filled with sarcasm.
At this point, Chen Xu was at a loss. Facing the two of them at the same time, he couldn't let go at all. He had to be very careful when speaking and pay attention to his words, for fear of getting close to one of them and hurting the other.
He wanted to create an environment where they could be alone together, but judging from their intentions, no one was willing to give in. It seemed as if they wanted him to express his opinion. Could he express his opinion? Of course not.
It's so difficult.
He sighed inwardly, and could only wait like this.
And so, the three of them stayed together for the rest of the day, occasionally chatting for a while, but most of the time they just sat there quietly without saying anything.
I'm afraid no one would be able to bear it no matter who it was.
Chen Xu had experienced such a dream, so he was always patient. Later, he came to his senses and decided that it was not bad to just stay together quietly.
…………
That night, Chen Xu returned to his room alone. There were exactly three rooms in the living area, each with four beds, more like a dormitory. They each had one room.
He now sleeps less and less. After returning to his room, he cannot fall asleep. He turns on the personal terminal he carries with him, which is like a pair of 3D glasses. After turning it on, a three-dimensional interface appears in front of his eyes.
He opened the file he hadn't finished reading last time and continued reading it.
The biggest benefit of obtaining the highest colonial authority for him is that he can freely browse all scientific and technological information without any restrictions.
The most important thing is that the colonization suit has its own limitations. It can only climb up from relatively low-end technology little by little, and it has to climb all technology trees and the entire industrial chain.
The database inside even records various machine data from the steam age, and not only theoretical data, but also manufacturing technology.
The introduction of the colonization set says that it can replicate a technological civilization, and it is by no means an exaggeration. It relies on these data. As long as there is enough time and data, and it develops step by step, sooner or later, it will develop into the interstellar era.
The information in the colonization set ranges from the highest level to the beginning of the interstellar era, such as controlled nuclear fusion technology, high-thrust engine technology, nanotechnology, etc.
According to the above introduction, it can be developed to the level of developing the entire solar system.
These are invaluable to him, as they mean that he not only has detailed information, but also has enough time to personally manufacture the required products from scratch, down to every detail.
Compared to this, tasks and the like are no longer important.
As the night deepened, Chen Xu, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, heard a knock on the door. He took off his glasses and saw that the door was pushed open from the outside, and Bai Jinxuan, in pajamas, walked in.
She stood at the door with her hands behind her back, looking at him motionlessly. She had no makeup on, and her plain face looked a little pale under the light. She bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes, filled with grievance and attachment...
Chen Xu put down his glasses, walked towards her, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Did you miss me?"
Then he felt some warmth on his shoulders, seeping through his clothes.
"Yes." Her voice was thick with nasal sounds. "I miss you every day. I miss you so much that I can't sleep. Why did you come just now..."
As she spoke, she sounded more and more aggrieved. Chen Xu hugged her hands tightly and was about to comfort her when he felt a pain in his shoulder as if he had been bitten.
Soon loosened again.
She whispered, "Does it hurt?"
"pain."
"You deserve it. Who took you so long to show up?"
Chen Xu rubbed her long hair and said, "Otherwise, take another bite to vent your anger, but not this...hiss—" Before he could finish his words, he felt pain in his shoulder again, and this time the bite was much harder.
"Does it hurt? I'm sorry."
"It doesn't hurt."
Chen Xu felt somewhat disappointed. In dreams, he also had his period. He knew it in the first dream.
At that time, he even wondered if he could get pregnant in his dream.
Of course, he had no intention of putting it into practice. If the baby was born, it would be fatal. This was no joke.
Before she could finish, Chen Xu covered her mouth and said, "Some things must be done step by step. It's good for us to talk together like this."
He knew that she had no experience. In the past few months, they had met several times in real life, all at her home. Like all couples, they naturally grew closer and closer. At one point, they almost took the last step, but Fang Fang suddenly knocked on the door and interrupted his good time.
He has passed the stage of seeking sensory stimulation and enjoys the process of transforming his woman little by little.
In layman's terms, he is no longer young, at least his mental age is very different from that of his peers in their twenties.
During this reunion, Bai Jinxuan talked a lot and kept talking.
Chen Xu listened quietly, rarely interrupting her, occasionally saying a few words, feeling very sympathetic.
She didn't talk so much before, preferring to quietly look at him and listen to him. It was obvious that she had been feeling very depressed for more than a year.
He felt a little guilty. He had indeed overlooked this point. In fact, he should have come to pick them up earlier.
Bai Jinxuan had been talking about what had happened over the past year, but had not mentioned Yang Jinxia, and was very careful to avoid topics related to her.
Chen Xu thought about how the two of them had hardly any communication during the day, and she could imagine how they had been getting along over the past year.
He couldn't help but sigh. In such an environment, they had been unable to put aside their past grudges and truly accept each other for more than a year. It seemed that they still had a long way to go to achieve that level.
To be honest, the reason why he waited until this time to come and pick them up was that he had his own little thoughts. He thought that the two of them would become good friends who could share weal and woe after spending a long time together, which would reduce a lot of resistance.
As a result, the effect was not particularly obvious.
PS: I’d better ask for monthly votes.
