Next, Chen Xu focused his energy on studying.

The plan for the birth of natural babies is being implemented in an orderly manner, robots are continuously produced from the production line, and the preliminary preparations for the development of the iron mine are also being carried out...

There are many things to do in the base, but for the time being, they don't require too much of his attention.

The biggest lesson he learned during his three years at the base was that he had to learn to delegate power. His time and energy were limited, and it was impossible for him to manage the entire base by himself.

Even if he could do it, it wouldn't be worth it. His main goal was to learn. As for spending energy on running the base, it was to defend against possible dangers and ensure that he had enough time to learn.

He will not make a mistake about the priorities here.

This is also the reason why he is willing to spend more than a year to train advanced cyborgs. He needs someone to share the affairs of the base.

With that group of Level 4 biochemicals, he was finally freed from various affairs and had leisurely time to study.

Moreover, all the plans in the base will take some time to produce real results. For example, the natural person plan will take more than ten years, and it will take several years to accumulate enough robots. Even the cable plan will not be completed in one or two years.

He just needs to take a look every day, monitor the progress and make sure there are no problems.

…………

It was noon again one day, and Chen Xu brought food over. When Luo Xiyun came to eat, he looked a little tired. Even while eating, he was staring at one place with a dazed look on his face.

In fact, she had shown such signs in the past few days, but they were not as serious as today.

Chen Xu said, "You look a little tired, shall I take you out to relax?"

"Um?"

Luo Xiyun's eyes fell on his face. They were out of focus at first. It took him a second or two to react and he shook his head.

Chen Xu said, "I have also gone through such a stage before. I learned too much knowledge at once and my brain couldn't adapt. It affected my physical and mental state and my learning efficiency was greatly reduced. At this time, what you should do is relax and let your brain rest so that you can regain vitality."

Luo Xiyun still shook his head, but not as firmly as before.

"In your current state, even if you sit in a chair, you won't be able to learn much, right?"

Luo Xiyun was silent for a while, then said, "Isn't there danger outside?"

Chen Xu smiled and said, "It has been solved."

The native in parasitic armor was easily killed by robots and drones. In fact, its combat power was enough to crush any human individual.

Even if it was him, if he didn't have a weapon with high destructive power, he would surely die if facing this thing.

Anyway, it can be regarded as a small BOSS in the early stage.

After you kill it, it should be quiet for a while.

This month, as hundreds of robots were produced from the production line, Chen Xu once again expanded the monitoring range by several kilometers. So far, no abnormalities have been found.

However, Chen Xu did not take Luo Xiyun outside the base, but took her to a newly built place. It was not far from the control center and only took five minutes by train.

Today, the area of ​​the entire base is close to 10,000 square kilometers. Chen Xu built a transportation system for the base based on the teleportation cabin of the previous dream spaceship, which is actually similar to a subway.

"What is this place?"

Luo Xiyun came out of the train and saw that there were only Chen Xu and her. There was also a passage in front of her and nothing else. She couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xu did not reveal the answer and said, "You will know in a moment."

Luo Xiyun was somewhat curious, so he followed him. Not far away, he reached the end of the corridor. There was a door with the words "Baby Day Care Room" written on it.

"Baby-sitting room?" she repeated automatically.

Chen Xu pushed the door open and said, "Yes, there are a total of 293 babies in here. The oldest is less than two months old, and the youngest is only fifteen days old. Let's go in and take a look."

Luo Xiyun followed him in subconsciously. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a baby crying. The cry was very soft and came from the nearest crib.

She couldn't help but walk closer and saw the baby lying there, his whole face wrinkled and his mouth wide open crying loudly, but only a very small sound could be heard through the transparent cover.

As if noticing her gaze, the baby inside suddenly stopped crying, looked at her with big watery eyes, sobbed twice, and then opened its mouth and laughed.

Luo Xiyun looked at this little thing and his heart seemed to melt.

"Do you want a hug?" Chen Xu came over at some point and took off the cover.

Luo Xiyun had a look of hope and hesitation on her face as she carefully picked up the baby inside. The soft little body made her nervous. She was afraid that if she held the baby too tightly, she would hurt him, and she was also afraid that if she held the baby too lightly, he would drop.

It was Chen Xu who was standing next to her who found her flustered and somewhat amused, and taught her what posture she should use to hold a child.

He laughed and said, "I didn't realize before that you like children so much."

Luo Xiyun's attention was all on the baby in her arms, as if she didn't hear what he said. After a while, she asked him, "Why is there a baby here?"

Chen Xu said, "A civilization is made up of people. It is not enough to have only biochemical people, but also real natural people. They are the seeds of civilization."

Luo Xiyun couldn't help but fall silent. Although she was not involved in the operation of the base, she was on this alien planet. In the past two months, the only person she could communicate with was Chen Xu. She could also feel the deep loneliness.

She has been in a bad state recently and is also affected by this emotion.

So, when she saw this tiny baby and knew that there was such a young and vibrant life on this planet, she was moved.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Chen Xu, and a thought came to her mind: So, what about him? …………

"Why are you going back so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer?"

Half an hour later, the two left the baby care room, and Chen Xu asked with a little surprise.

Something is wrong.

Luo Xiyun glanced at him and saw that he was smiling when he spoke. She had seen this kind of smile many times in the past month. But this time, when she saw it on his face, her heart tightened.

At this time, they walked to the front of the train and the door opened automatically.

When they got in the car, she asked, "What did they leave for?"

Chen Xu was very surprised. The "they" she mentioned were naturally Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan. This was the first time she took the initiative to mention them. In the previous conversation, both of them consciously avoided the topic of the other two women.

He subconsciously wanted to change the subject, but then he thought that it was rare for her to ask, and she wasn't particularly sensitive, so he answered, "One year and two months ago."

Luo Xiyun's heart trembled.

She has been here for almost two months, which means that Chen Xu was alone for a year before she came.

A person stays on this alien planet, surrounded by only some mindless robots and cyborgs who are no different from robots. Apart from that, there is an empty base. Outside the base, there is a deadly threat.

I stayed alone in such an environment for a whole year.

Just thinking about it gave her a chill.

Even though Chen Xu was by her side, talking to her in different ways every day, cooking for her, and taking care of her meticulously, she was still affected by the environment and became depressed.

If Chen Xu wasn't by her side, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for even a week and would collapse.

She couldn't imagine how Chen Xu managed to hold on.

She had ignored this problem before, until today, when she experienced the impact of this loneliness firsthand.

Thinking back over the past month or so, Chen Xu had shown a completely different side than before, and her heart sank.
