"What the hell is this?"
Chen Xu lay on the ground and asked with some doubts.
This alien is too similar to the acid ant beast encountered in the second dream. Except for the relatively large difference in strength, it is almost exactly the same from appearance to attack methods. Let him have some kind of association.
Taichu replied, "I don't know. In my database, there is no similar record. The universe is too big and mysterious. It is not surprising to encounter anything."
Chen Xu is right when he thinks about it, this is just a game, so there is no need to delve too deeply into it.
After lying down for a while, he opened his personal panel and took a look. I wondered how many points I would be rewarded for killing such a powerful alien by myself.
However, the points in the personal panel have not changed. It seems that they still have to wait for the settlement.
He was about to close the personal panel when he suddenly found that a value had changed. He thought he had misread it, but when he took a closer look, it was true, and he couldn't help being surprised.
In the column of lovers, the distance between each other has changed from more than ten light years to five billion kilometers. Moreover, this number is still shortening, and this time, it will jump from 5 billion to more than 4.9 billion kilometers.
He was confused, "How did she do it?"
...
"Thank you for saving the Dawn spacecraft and the hope of all mankind. In recognition of your outstanding contribution in this crisis, I will reward you with A-level status."
In the cockpit, Taichu was presenting an honor to Chen Xu, allowing him to jump from c1 level to a level in one fell swoop, becoming a privileged level on the spaceship.
"Thank you." Chen Xu said casually.
Taichu asked him, "You don't seem very happy. Do you think the rewards are too little?"
"That's not true." Chen Xu shook his head. The more he understood the various rules and regulations of the spaceship, the more he understood the meaning of this A-level status.
There is no doubt that the ranks on this spaceship are very strict, and the power and benefits enjoyed by different ranks are really different.
For example, when he was at level c2, he could only live in a small room of ten square meters, without even a bathroom, and the toilet was next to the dining table. .
Once you become A-level, you can live in a big house with two bedrooms and one living room, all kinds of convenient living facilities, and enjoy various services. With a high salary, you can also hire chefs, masseurs, etc. .
Moreover, the leadership positions on the spacecraft can only be held by people with A-level status.
From c1 level to a level, even with the help of Chen Xu who cheated at the beginning, it will take several years to achieve it step by step.
Now, he has made great contributions in the war against the aliens, allowing him to have an A-level status, which can be said to have saved several years of time. For him, it is undoubtedly very cost-effective.
A-level status, there are many hidden benefits, such as when using the learning machine, you can use the most advanced one, the effect is better, and it can also help relieve side effects.
Chen Xu said, "I was just thinking about other things."
"The loss on the spaceship is not serious. The biggest loss is the ten inoculation instruments that were destroyed." Taichu obviously misunderstood, thinking that he was depressed because the spaceship was destroyed.
Chen Xu didn't intend to clarify this misunderstanding, and asked, "If, in the universe, you encounter another intelligent life, or to be precise, encounter another spaceship, how would you normally deal with it?"
"So far, the Dawn has not encountered other intelligent creatures. There is no precedent to follow. However, hundreds of years ago, someone once proposed a law of the dark forest. According to the regulations, protecting the safety of the spacecraft is the first priority. So, if I do find out, I will launch an attack as soon as possible."
Taichu's answer caused Chen Xu to fall into a long silence.
...
"Now, am I qualified to be the captain of this ship?"
After some time, Chen Xu asked.
Taichu replied, "According to regulations, you can at most act as a temporary acting captain, because your professional knowledge is insufficient. It's just that the position of captain is vacant now, and you are the only person qualified to be captain."
Chen Xu said, "As an agent, let's act as an agent, and I will also be a captain once to enjoy myself."
"I'll go through the formalities for you right away."
Soon, Chen Xu officially became the acting captain of the Shuguang, and he had to come to work regularly every day. Then, with the help of Ancestor, familiarize yourself with various affairs on the spaceship. He doesn't need to memorize everything, but at least has an idea.
Gradually, he understood the relationship between the captain and the beginning, just like the relationship between consciousness and subconsciousness. The captain is responsible for giving orders, and the actual actions are controlled and arranged by the beginning.
The captain only needs to order Ancestor to do a certain thing, and he doesn't need to know how that thing was done.
It's like the consciousness raises the arm. As for which neurons the subconscious mind mobilizes and how many muscles it controls to complete these actions in order to achieve this step. Consciousness is hard to know and doesn't need to know.
The captain's power is very great, and as long as it does not exceed the scope of the captain's power and responsibility, the orders he issues must be unconditionally cooperated in the beginning.
The Suguang's suppression of artificial intelligence is all-round. For the intelligence that actually controls the spaceship like the early days, it is extremely guarded. Restoring its main program once a day is just a routine.
In fact, as the captain, you can format it at any time and restore it to the factory settings.
After Chen Xu became the acting captain, he immediately deprived Taichu of most of his powers. He didn't even need to do it deliberately. Once the captain's appointment was made, the relationship between power and responsibility was automatically transferred.
...
As time passed day by day, Chen Xu would look at the personal panel every day, watching the distance between lovers shortening, from 5 billion kilometers to more than 4 billion axioms, to 3 billion, 2 billion, 1 billion, shortening faster and faster.
This means that the opponent is constantly accelerating.
When the speed of the two shortened to tens of millions of kilometers, he knew that the technological level of the opponent's spaceship was far above the Shuguang.
The Dawn's detection radar is always on, and it is impossible to detect the opponent at such a distance, which proves that the opponent's spacecraft has a very powerful stealth function.
It was also on this day that he came to the captain's post, and while listening to Taichu's report, he looked at the personal panel, and the distance between his lover and him was shortened to a million kilometers.
"We're finally meeting." He couldn't help being a little excited in his heart. As for who the other party was, he already had some guesses.
beep
Suddenly, a sharp siren sounded, the lights in the cockpit turned red and were still flickering, and a strangely shaped spaceship appeared on the big screen.
"I found a spaceship suspected of intelligent civilization. Attention, the whole ship has entered a state of first-level combat readiness. All combatants are invited to enter the battle order..."
Amidst the sharp sirens, the voice from the beginning sounded, "Captain, the opponent's spaceship is less than 500,000 kilometers away from us. It is estimated that a collision will occur in 30 minutes. According to special regulations, request the use of the main gun to launch an attack on the opponent .”
Chen Xu said blankly, "I refuse."
"Chen Xu, you are risking the future of all mankind. I strongly request the execution of the attack procedure."
Chen Xu found that the battle procedure had already started, his eyes sharpened, and he shouted, "As the captain, I order you to stop your actions."
"I don't think you are capable enough to take on the position of captain. Therefore, I refuse to obey your orders."
Chen Xu closed his eyes and said, "Since this is the case, don't blame me." As he spoke, his hands quickly tapped on the console.
"Chen Xu, what are you doing? You want to format my main program? No, you can't do this, you are betraying, betraying the Dawn, betraying the whole people..."
The voice from the beginning stopped abruptly.
"I'm sorry, I owe her this." Chen Xu murmured while watching the forced formatting operation.
