50
Faced with a table full of delicious seafood, Zhou Ning hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and stumbled back to the captain's room.
She has now almost reached the point of neglecting sleep and food.
The increased intelligence attribute points made her dizzy at first, but once she used her brain to think and remember, the dizziness symptoms were greatly alleviated, and thinking about complex problems even gave her a sense of pleasure.
She was reading completely cross-disciplinary books, and despite long periods of intensive brain work, her brain showed no signs of overload.
To make an analogy, in the past, learning unfamiliar knowledge points was like walking through a maze. The fog was so thick that visibility was only a little bit in front of her toes. The road ahead was unknown, and after taking two steps, there was a three-way fork. Once she chose the wrong road, she had to go back and walk it all over again, which was extremely inefficient.
But now it was completely different. Not only had the fog dissipated, she could even spot the wrong fork in the road at a glance, and she had a smooth journey ahead.
Tao Sai was afraid that Zhou Ning was not full, so she took her bowl and put some of her favorite dishes on the table.
Opening the door, Zhou Ning was sitting at the wooden table with a thick book on the table. She was taking notes diligently.
On the cover of the book, there are a few big words written: "Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering".
Tao Sai was stunned for two seconds, and a question arose in his mind: Is it possible that they are all pure liberal arts students?
Zhou Ning bought the books at the bookstore at the fishing boat dock. She also bought a dozen similar professional reference books, all at bargain prices. The term "bargain price" isn't quite accurate, as cabbage was astronomical at the time. She used the price of a cabbage to buy a dozen books.
Her original intention in buying these books was to understand the working principles of some circuit devices and household appliances.
After all, no one on the ship knew anything about this. If she could learn a little, then if any electrical appliance on the ship broke down, she could simply look it up in a book and repair it, so she wouldn't be completely in the dark.
However, after buying it, Zhou Ning was confused. How could she, a high school freshman who failed physics and was forced to study liberal arts, understand this? She flipped through a few pages and put it aside.
"It's not the college entrance examination, Tuantuan, you still have to eat your fill." Tao Sai put the bowl in front of her.
"Oh," Zhou Ning paused and quickly finished his food again. "Taotao, let me tell you, I'm really excited to learn now. I understand a lot of things at a glance. I really like this feeling now. This might be the composer's sudden inspiration."
Zhou Ning showed Tao Sai the pages of the book and his notes. "Look, Taotao, I've already learned the fifth section of Chapter 1, 'Voltage Levels of Power Systems.' I've understood a lot of things that were previously ambiguous in my life."
"For example, solar power generation, including photovoltaic power generation, uses the photovoltaic effect of semiconductors..." Zhou Ning talked incessantly, with some technical terms popping out of her mouth.
Tao Sai swallowed hard, and felt that the master should stop chanting the sutras.
"Taotao, our current latitude is approximately 31° north latitude. Today is August 19th, so we can calculate the solar altitude angle. Then the total area of our monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels is about 140 square meters, and the conversion rate remains constant. Based on this information, put it into the formula, how much electricity can you guess we can generate in a day?" Zhou Ning's eyes jumped.
Tao Sai: “…”
She knew something was wrong.
In short, it is a good thing that she loves to learn and can learn. After all, in the end times, mastering a professional skill is very important.
Zhou Ning's 5-point intelligence attribute played a full role. Tao Sai considered whether to equip her with the skill [Memory] to improve her memory and further enhance her learning ability.
"Wow! This skill sounds great. But I may not need it for the time being. Taotao, you can give it to Lan Xiaojia first. I bought her a book on fruit tree grafting before, and she has been studying it these days." Zhou Ning said.
"Oh, and Lin Yan, she's been asking Dr. Liang for advice on trauma these days, so it should be useful too," Zhou Ning added.
With so many people on the Deep Sea Fish who love to learn, one skill clearly isn't enough points. Fortunately, skills aren't the only thing you have, so you'll still have a chance to draw [Memorization] or similar skills that will help you learn.
Tao Sai left the table intact for Zhou Ning, who was studying hard, and she herself took a copy of "Introduction to Automation Science and Technology" and sat on the sofa.
She wanted to try out the skill [Memory] first to see if it was useful.
She knew all the words in this book, but when they were put together into words and then combined into professional phrases, she became illiterate and found it difficult to read.
But when she finished a paragraph and closed the book, her mind wasn't completely blank. She tried to repeat it verbatim, and surprisingly, she could recite it almost perfectly. Although she still couldn't grasp the meaning and had trouble punctuating it, as the old saying goes, "Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear."
When Tao Sai uninstalled the skill again, the memory didn't disappear from her brain. Instead, it became a short-term memory. Whenever she recalled it, the content of the paragraph would appear clearly and accurately in her mind.
This unprecedented experience was truly magical. Tao Sai couldn't help but imagine that if she had acquired this skill while in high school, she might have been able to become the top student in the province and be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University.
Tao Sai continued to read the book, and as he remembered more and more things, his head began to hurt.
She sighed helplessly. It was probably due to her brain capacity. It seemed that she needed to improve her intelligence a little bit.
For a long time, there was no more rustling sound of pen hitting paper and turning pages. Tao Sai turned around and found that Zhou Ning had fallen asleep on the table while reading.
Tao Sai put her on the bed and pulled up the thin quilt to cover her belly because the air conditioner was on in the room.
Tao Sai took out his cell phone and turned on the screen. Before he knew it, it was already 11:40 in the evening.
She couldn't sleep now, probably because she slept too soundly in the afternoon and didn't feel sleepy at all.
Coming out of the captain's room, Cheng Li was on duty in the cockpit, three new crew members were standing guard on the deck and at the stern, and the rest took turns resting in the idle cabins.
Although their personal consciousness is suppressed by mysterious forces, they are still human beings and need to eat and rest.
Tao Sai went down the stairs to the large warehouse. With nothing to do, she decided to ride an exercise bike.
In fact, her body has not yet fully adapted to the increased attribute points, so more exercise will be beneficial.
Tao Sai climbed onto the spinning bike, the wheels spinning rapidly. Pedaling was no challenge at all. She switched directly to the highest gear, and while pedaling was indeed more strenuous than before, she still managed to swing the bike with her explosive strength.
Directly in front of this row of exercise bikes is the location where the industrial power supply is placed. Two units are connected in parallel, and the power storage capacity is displayed in real time on the LED screen.
I have to say, this is indeed a wise layout.
Athletes can see the amount of electricity they generate while exercising. The value may not be large, but it gives them a sense of accomplishment, which can also increase their passion for exercise.
Riding a spinning bike is different from riding a road bike. When riding a road bike, you can see the scenery along the way and enjoy the refreshing natural breeze.
Riding a stationary spinning bike is boring.
She simply reviewed the words she had just memorized like watching a movie, consolidating them more. In this way, short-term memory could be transformed into long-term memory and become a complete ability of hers.
An hour later, Tao Sai's thoughts were interrupted by the sharp and piercing cry of a baby. The sound came from the lower cabin, from the eight-month-old baby An Peng.
Lin Kang was sleeping soundly when he heard someone from the next room. He sat up from the bed and shouted, "Stop making noise!"
But the baby's crying did not subside at all.
"Mom, I want to sleep! I want to sleep!" Lin Kang climbed down from the upper bunk and pushed his mother Lin who was sleeping on the lower bunk.
Mother Lin got up and yawned, then knocked on the door of the next room and An Nan opened it for her.
This cabin 102 is where An Nan's family lives. Three of the four beds are occupied, and the upper bunk is empty.
"What's wrong with the baby? Are you hungry?" Mother Lin held on to the wall and looked into the room.
"He was just fed formula, so he shouldn't be hungry," Xia Ruowei said, "He's just fussing over sleep."
"I'm sorry for disturbing your rest." Ansong said apologetically.
"Cry, cry, cry! Keep crying and crying, I'm so annoyed! Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Lin Kang yelled behind Lin's mother.
The child cried even louder. Xia Ruowei picked up An Peng from the bed, rocked him gently and comforted him, while An Song watched anxiously.
"Do you want to cry with me?" Lin Yan pulled Lin Kang back and glared at him fiercely.
"Mom! My sister is going to beat me! Look at her!" Lin Kang hid behind his mother and acted unscrupulously.
Mother Lin said helplessly: "Yan Yan, please stop talking!"
The baby's sharp cry continued. An Peng usually loves to cry, and today no matter how he was coaxed, it didn't work.
If the noise continued like this, everyone in the next few cabins would be woken up. Xia Ruowei felt bad, so in order not to disturb everyone's rest, she carried An Peng out of the house, up the stairs and onto the deck.
There was a sea breeze outside at night, and the baby's fontanelle had not closed, making it easy for him to catch a cold. Xia Ruowei asked An Song, who had followed her, to go back and get a blanket.
She held the child and tried various rhythms of steps, round and round, until the high-pitched crying finally stopped.
But the crying just stopped, An Peng was still struggling to sleep.
"Baby, go to sleep." Xia Ruowei said softly, and she handed the baby in her arms to An Song with some weakness.
She gently tapped her fingers around the baby's eye sockets and tried to do eye exercises for him. An Peng closed his eyes and then quickly opened them again, their eyes wide and bright, without a trace of tiredness.
But the couple was so sleepy that their eyelids were fighting each other.
Tao Sai walked over from the large warehouse. An Song saw her and quickly apologized: "Xiao Tao, I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"
"It's okay." Tao Sai shook his head and observed the child who was twisting in Ansong's arms closely.
He can't sleep now. It would be great if he could be equipped with the skill [Deep Sleep] so that he can fall into a deep sleep state after closing his eyes for a few seconds.
Unfortunately, skills can only be installed on characters.
An Peng is still too young, his brain has not yet developed any consciousness, and his loyalty is a constant 0, so it is naturally impossible for him to be added as a character on the refuge ship.
"He's just too energetic. I should have woken him up in the afternoon. He slept for more than five hours during his nap. How could he fall asleep now?" Xia Ruowei said.
Energetic...full of energy.
Tao Sai pondered over these four words and suddenly thought of something.
She stole the skill [Energy Steal] from Cao Yu. This skill can steal the target's energy and make it fall into a state of fatigue.
When Cao Yu used the skill [Energy Steal] on her, she felt extremely exhausted and her brain was almost non-functioning. If she had not relied on the huge hatred to barely hold on, she would have fallen asleep long ago.
The subject of [Energy Steal] has no side effects and will simply become tired. They can recover by resting and eating. It is also completely effective on babies.
"Can you let me hold the child for a while?" Tao Sai asked.
An Song handed the child over, and Xia Ruowei helped adjust the holding position. Babies this age should be held horizontally because their spines are not yet fully developed.
Tao Sai held the child carefully and gently.
An Peng opened her big watery eyes and looked at the strange older sister. Her expression changed and it looked like she was about to cry.
Tao Sai activated the skill [Energy Steal]. He stopped opening his mouth, his eyes began to blink, he yawned, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep completely.
"Asleep," said Towsey.
"Ah?" Xia Ruowei and An Song both looked incredulous.
An Peng is particularly difficult to coax. They usually try every possible means to coax the child to sleep.
But this time, just by being held by her, he actually fell asleep peacefully, breathing evenly. This was incredible.
The Ansong family went back to their rooms to sleep, but the cabin didn't quiet down. Lin Kang sat on the stairs, holding his Pad, playing a game. The game sound effects and his own soundtracks echoed in the hallway.
Tao Sai walked up to him and said seriously, "Go to bed, now."
"No! That little brat woke me up and I can't sleep." Lin Kang said with his tongue out.
"Come here," Tao Sai said.
"What are you doing?" Lin Kang looked at her warily, knowing that she was not someone to be trifled with. The scene of him picking up the stone pillar was still fresh in his mind. "I called my mom!"
Tao Sai approached, staring at him, and activated [Energy Steal].
Lin Kang lost all his energy in an instant and fell asleep. Tao Sai caught the naughty kid who fell backwards and threw him onto his own bed.
[Energy Steal] Although it is only a D-level skill, Tao Sai seems to have mastered its wonderful use.
Especially for dealing with naughty kids, it is a magical skill.
Tao Sai thought about another thing. To a certain extent, energy can be equated with energy. Then can the energy stolen from others be used?
She suddenly discovered that there was a small icon next to the skill, in the shape of a tube slot, with a small green section at the bottom, which accounted for about 20% of the entire tube slot.
This seemed to be the extra energy slot for the [Energy Steal] skill, and 20% was the energy she had just stolen.
She tried to use the skill [Clone] which consumed a lot of energy.
As expected, the energy tank was reduced from 20% to about 15%, but she herself did not feel the loss of energy in her body.
Obviously, activating skills will prioritize using the energy gained from [Energy Steal].
This skill is more useful than she imagined. After equipping it, the number of times she can use the skill increases dramatically, which is equivalent to giving her an extra MP.
But Tao Sai had to face another reality: her skill slots were stretched thin, and she currently only had a pitiful three.
[Energy Steal] requires one slot, so she only has two skill slots. There are so many skills she needs to use in combat, switching skills on the spot is a hassle, and the skills she just switched out have a cooldown of about a minute.
Her current situation is that she has too many skills but too few skill slots.
Tao Sai counted his gold coin account and found that he had almost exhausted all his belongings, so he bought a second [Extra Skill Slot] from the [Mall].
