"What the hell is this?"

Chen Xu lay on the ground and asked in confusion.

This alien is so similar to the acid ant beast he encountered in the second dream. Except for his large difference in strength, it is almost exactly the same from appearance to attack methods, which forced him to have some association.

Taichu replied, "I don't know, there are no similar records in my database. The universe is too big and mysterious, so it's not surprising that anything happens."

Chen Xu was right to think about it. This is just a game, so there is no need to go into it too much.

After lying for a while, he opened his personal panel and took a look. He thought to himself that he would get such a powerful alien alone, and he didn't know how many points he would be rewarded.

However, the points in the personal panel have not changed, and it seems that we still have to wait for settlement.

He was about to close the personal panel when he suddenly found that a value had changed. He thought he had read it wrong, so he looked carefully and was shocked.

I saw that the distance between the couples changed from more than ten light years to five billion kilometers. Moreover, this number was still shortening, and now it just jumped from five billion to more than four billion kilometers.

He was puzzled, "How did she do it?"

…………

"Thank you for saving the Dawn spacecraft and saving the hope of all mankind. In recognition of your outstanding contributions in this crisis, you will be rewarded with a level A identity."

In the cockpit, Taichu was awarding Chen Xu an honor, allowing him to leap from level C1 to level A and become the special/power level on the spaceship.

"Thank you." Chen Xu said casually.

Taichu asked him, "You don't seem to be very happy. Do you think the reward is too small?"

"That's not." Chen Xu shook his head. The more he understood the various rules and regulations of the spacecraft, the more he understood the meaning of this A-level identity.

There is no doubt that the ranks on this spacecraft are very strict, and the power and welfare enjoyed between different levels 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 bowl was right next to the dining table, which was extremely simple and he received a pitifully small salary, so he could only afford nutritious meals.

Once you become a Class A, you can live in a big house with two bedrooms and one living room, with various convenient living facilities, enjoy various services, get a high salary, and be able to afford a chef, masseur, etc.

Moreover, the leadership positions on the spacecraft can only be held by people with a level A status.

From level c1 to level a, even Chen Xu, who had Taichu helping to cheat, would take several years to achieve it step by step.

Now, he has made great contributions in the war with the alien, which has made him have an A-level identity exception, which can be said to have saved several years of time. For him, it is undoubtedly very cost-effective.

A-level identity and many hidden benefits, such as when using a learning machine, you can use the most advanced one, which has better results and can also help alleviate side effects.

Chen Xu said, "I'm just thinking about something else."

"The losses on the spacecraft are not serious. The biggest loss is the ten destroyed fertility instruments." Taichu obviously misunderstood, thinking that he was depressed by the damage to the spacecraft.

Chen Xu did not intend to clarify this misunderstanding and asked, "If you encounter another intelligent life in the universe, to be precise, what will you do if you encounter another spaceship?"

"So far, the Dawn has not encountered any other intelligent creatures. There is no precedent to follow. However, hundreds of years ago, someone proposed a law of dark forest. According to regulations, protecting the safety of spacecraft is the top priority. So, if it is really discovered, I will launch an attack as soon as possible."

Taichu's answer made Chen Xu fall into a long silence.

…………

"Now, am I qualified to be the captain of this ship?"

Chen Xu asked this after a while.

Taichu replied, "According to regulations, you can be the temporary acting captain at most because your expertise is insufficient. It is just that the captain is now vacant, and you are the only person qualified to be a captain."

Chen Xu said, "Just agent, I will be an agent, I will also be a captain once and enjoy it."

"I'll go through the procedures 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 Taichu, he was familiar with all the affairs on the spacecraft. He didn't need to remember everything, but at least he had a concept.

Gradually, he learned that the relationship between the captain and Taichu was like the relationship between consciousness and subconsciousness. The captain was responsible for issuing orders, and the actual actions were controlled and arranged by Taichu.

The captain only needs to order Taichu to do something, and as for what method was done by that thing, he doesn't need to understand.

Just like consciousness lifts the arms, as for what neurons have mobilized and how many muscles have been controlled to complete these movements in order to achieve this step, consciousness is difficult to know and does not need to know.

The captain's power is very great, and as long as it does not exceed the captain's power and responsibilities, Taichu must cooperate unconditionally with the order he issued.

The Shuguang suppresses artificial intelligence in all aspects. He is extremely cautious about the actual control of the spacecraft such as Taichu. Restoreing its main program once a day is just a routine matter.

In fact, as the captain, you can format it as you enter and then restore it to the factory settings.

After Chen Xu became the acting captain, he immediately deprived Taichu of most of his power. He didn't even need to do it deliberately. Once the captain's appointment was reached, the relationship between rights and responsibilities would automatically be transferred.

…………

As time goes by, Chen Xu looks at his personal panel every day, watching the distance between lovers continue to shorten, from 5 billion kilometers to more than 4 billion axioms, and then to 3 billion, 2 billion, and 1 billion, the shortening speed is getting faster and faster.

This means that the other party is accelerating.

When the speed of the two was shortened to tens of millions of kilometers, he knew that the technological level of the other party's spacecraft was far above the Dawn.

The detection radar of the Dawn is always on, and no one can detect the opponent at such a distance, which proves that the opponent's spacecraft's stealth function is very powerful.

It was also on this day that he came to the captain's post. While listening to Taichu's report, he looked at the personal panel. The distance between the couple and him was shortened to one million kilometers.

"We're finally going to meet." He couldn't help but feel a little excited. As for who the other party was, he had already had some speculations.

Beep

Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded, and the lights in the cockpit turned red and were still flashing. A strange-shaped spacecraft appeared on the large screen.

"Discover a spaceship suspected of being a smart civilization. Please note that the entire ship has entered the first-level combat readiness state. Please ask all combatants to enter the battle sequence..."

Amid the sharp alarm, Taichu's voice sounded, "Captain, the other party's spacecraft is less than 500,000 kilometers away from us. It is expected that a collision will occur in thirty minutes. According to special regulations, it is requested to use the main gun to launch an attack on the other party."

Chen Xu said expressionlessly, "I refuse."

"Chen Xu, you are taking risks with the future of all mankind. I strongly request the execution of the attack program."

Chen Xu found that the combat program had been started, and his eyes sternly, shouting, "I will order you as the captain to stop your behavior."

"I don't think your ability is enough to take on the position of captain. So, I refuse to obey your orders."

Chen Xu closed his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me." As he said that, his hands quickly tapped the operating table.

"Chen Xu, what are you doing? Do you want to format my main program? No, you can't do this. You are betraying, betraying the Dawn, betraying the whole person..."

Taichu's voice came to an abrupt end.

"Sorry, I owe her this." Chen Xu murmured as he began to force the formatting operation.
Chapter completed!
