Yun Ge's mind instantly thought of many questions, but soon he felt that these questions were no longer important. Because as soon as the strong sense of fatigue appeared, it quickly occupied his body, making his mind have no other thoughts except wanting to sleep.
"Hey! I said comrade Yun Ge! Why are you still sleeping? If you don't get up, I can report to Captain Tim!" A familiar female voice suddenly sounded in Yun Ge's mind.
Hearing this, Yun Ge suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Then he saw that he was lying on a comfortable aircraft seat, and in front of him, there was a complex control panel full of various buttons and screens. Yun Ge's line of sight crossed the control panel and saw a huge arc-shaped porthole, which allowed him to clearly see the scene outside the window. It was a deep and vast starry sky, which made Yun Ge's attention completely attracted after just one glance, thus completely forgetting the grumpiness of being woken up from sleep.
"Hey! The spaceship is about to land, can't you concentrate on monitoring the right rudder's landing counter-thrust device, so as not to have an emergency when we land?" Just as Yun Ge was deeply infatuated with the fantastic beauty outside the porthole, the woman's voice came again in his ear.
Hearing this, Yun Ge retracted his gaze and looked to his left, seeing a woman in a blue-gray uniform with a beautiful face staring at him with a complaint. Yun Ge quickly smiled apologetically, then focused on the control panel in front of him. At this time, Yun Ge suddenly found that although he felt strange about the control panel in front of him, he could still understand the data displayed on the control panel. Yun Ge didn't understand what was going on, but he had no time to care about these things since he had recovered from his half-asleep state. Because now, the data on the control panel showed that the spaceship had entered the landing docking orbit. So he must complete a series of complex operations on the control panel in front of him according to the instructions of the woman next to him to ensure the spaceship could land safely.
"This——, I——, where exactly is this place? Why am I here?" After completing his operation, Yun Ge looked up at the busy crew around him and muttered blankly.
The woman sitting next to Yun Ge frowned upon hearing this, then said in a tone full of worry and complaint, "What's going on? Is your memory causing problems again? Don't scare me! It's a crucial moment for the spaceship to land, and if you make any mistakes at this time, it could lead to a major accident!"
"Uh——, don't worry! I just feel that I can't remember many things. For example, I suddenly forgot who I am and how I am sitting here. But——, I still know how to use this control panel." Seeing the woman was very nervous, Yun Ge hurriedly comforted. Then, he skillfully operated according to the signals from the control panel in front of him. Although Yun Ge still didn't understand why he could use this control panel, he didn't have time to care about these things since he had recovered from his half-asleep state. Because now, the data on the control panel showed that the spaceship had entered the landing docking orbit. So he must complete a series of complex operations on the control panel in front of him according to the instructions of the woman next to him to ensure the spaceship could land safely.

"Where is this place? How did I end up here?" After completing his的操作, Yun Ge looked around at the busy flight crew and muttered to himself in confusion.
The woman sitting next to him furrowed her brows and spoke in a worried and complaining tone, "What's going on? Are your memories acting up again? Don't scare me! It's a critical moment for the spaceship's landing; if you mess up now, it could cause a major accident!"
"Uh—, don't worry! I just can't seem to remember many things. Like, I suddenly forgot who I am and how I ended up sitting here. But—, I still know how to operate this control panel," Yun Ge reassured her, seeing her anxiety. Then, he skillfully manipulated the control panel in front of him according to the signals.
Seeing Yun Ge's proficient actions, the woman let out a sigh of relief, "Alright then! But you have to promise me that once we've completed this flight mission, you'll go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination! If there's really something wrong with your mind, we can just replace the faulty parts! That's better than causing trouble one day, right?"
Yun Ge responded with some confusion, "Why should I promise you? It feels like you're implying we have a close relationship or something?"
"You wish! Who said we have a close relationship?! We're just partners, and I'm concerned about your health as my partner!" the woman retorted, her face flushing slightly.
"Partners?" Yun Ge continued to look puzzled, because he had no memory of it, but he also felt an inexplicable familiarity with the woman in front of him.
The woman seemed unfazed by Yun Ge's bewildered state, as if she was used to his memory issues. After ensuring Yun Ge could still operate the control panel skillfully, she sighed, "Oh, your old problem is really a headache! Forget it! Just rest well after we land. So for now, let's focus on completing the landing mission. You know Captain Tim values the precision of the spaceship's landing. If we're off by even a little bit like last time, we'll all be scolded by him again!"

With the joint efforts of the flight crew, the spaceship finally landed smoothly on a desolate, reddish-brown planet. After the spaceship came to a stop, the crew couldn't help but burst into cheers. Yun Ge learned from their jubilation that everyone was so happy because they had been living on the spaceship for a long time for this flight mission. Now, they could finally take a break from the spaceship and return to the ground for a while.
After assisting the woman with the final routine check of their operation area, Yun Ge followed her out of the spaceship. It was then that Yun Ge got a clear view of the entire spaceship. It was a giant spaceship, at least a kilometer long and over two hundred meters wide, shaped like a cigar. Due to the enormous size of the spaceship, Yun Ge experienced a sense of fear similar to that of a person with megalophobia, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"Wow! Did we just land this massive thing?" Yun Ge looked back at the spaceship in front of him, which was as huge as a small mountain, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes! The technological and manufacturing capabilities of the Visians have become increasingly powerful! Once, it was unimaginable to build such a huge ocean liner on the Visispherical People, let alone send this super giant into space like in science fiction novels! Ah! The power of technology is really fascinating!" The woman walking side by side with Yun Ge also sighed, while taking off the gloves she had been wearing. It was then that Yun Ge noticed that the woman's entire left hand was made of metal.
Looking at the woman's metal fingers playing with her hair behind her ear, Yun Ge couldn't help but widen his eyes and ask, "Your, your left hand—how did it become like this?"
The woman looked at her purely metallic left hand and asked puzzled, "What's wrong with my left hand? Is there a problem?"
"Hey! Look at the mess you've made! I've told you countless times! You must operate according to the parameters during landing! Otherwise, the spaceship won't be able to complete a perfect landing!" Just as Yun Ge was about to ask further, a rough voice suddenly roared.
"But, Captain Tim, we did land the spaceship based on the data sent by the spaceship and the ground control station, right?" Another voice replied timidly.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If that's the case, why didn't my spaceship land perfectly in the center of the electromagnetic rail slider! Look at it! The landing position of the spaceship is obviously shifted to the left by twenty centimeters! How many times have I said it! When you are performing the landing task, you must concentrate and follow my command! You guys! You've ruined my perfect landing score again! In this case, that bastard Sam will have a chance to surpass me when performing the landing task! Which damn bastard! I don't want to lose to him like this!" Captain Tim completely ignored the crew member's excuse and continued to roar excitedly, pointing at the landing gear of the spaceship.
"Bad, the captain is sick again! Quick! Let's go this way!" The woman, seeing this, hurriedly stuck out her tongue and said, then she pulled the confused Yun Ge out of the spaceship dock from the other side of the passage.
"Phew! Fortunately, we ran fast enough! Otherwise, we would have to stay and accept the captain's scolding like the other crew members! Alas! You poor guys, you'd better soothe the captain's mood!" After running out of the dock, the woman said with a sense of relief and schadenfreude.
"Why is the captain angry about the landing? Is a perfect landing so important?" Yun Ge listened to the roar that came faintly from the dock and asked with a shrinking neck.
"Ah! That's the captain's old cleanliness! You know, the center of each rail slider that supports the spaceship's landing gear will be painted with a recognizable color before each landing to ensure that the spaceship can complete the landing accurately. As Captain Tim, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, regards the spaceship's landing gear landing in the center of the rail slider as the most perfect landing method. Only in this way can the spaceship land without causing him to go crazy due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder." The woman replied.
After a brief pause, the woman continued: "In addition to obsessive-compulsive disorder, another reason is that commanding the spaceship to land perfectly in the center of the rail slider is a matter that can demonstrate the captain's command ability and the crew's ability to control the spaceship. This is a key indicator for them to compare flight opportunities among captains. For this reason, the captains have even set up a perfect landing list for spaceships to calculate the number of perfect landings achieved during the spaceship's mission and arrange a ranking to enhance the reputation of the captain and the crew."
"But to be honest, as a crew member, no one cares about this ranking. Because everyone knows that the fundamental role of this ranking is to satisfy the vanity of these captains, allowing them to compete for fame in their circle, but the crew members cannot benefit from it."
After finishing speaking, the woman continued to look at the huge dock in front of her and said with some doubt: "Strange, this interstellar expedition team has arrived at E-Star for a long time, right? But why haven't they built the dock completely yet?"
Yun Ge also looked at this obviously unfinished super-large dock and guessed: "Slacking! It's very likely that because it's far away from here, no one can control them, so they slowed down the construction progress of the dock's appearance under the condition of ensuring that this dock can be used, and then secretly fished here!"
"Fishing? Hehehe! This modifier is very interesting! Hey! Where did you learn this word from? Why haven't I heard you use it before?" The woman asked curiously.
Don't say, the woman's question really stopped Yun Ge, because he didn't know where he learned the word "fishing". He just knew in his heart that this word could represent the meaning. So, Yun Ge could only scratch his head and smile awkwardly at this time, indicating that he forgot how he knew this word for a while.
However, the woman obviously didn't care about it. So, seeing Yun Ge mumbling and not answering, she waved her hand and said, "Alas! Your lousy memory is really fatal! Forget it, these are not important. Let's find a place to relax first! Ah! This voyage has been too long, and it's really suffocating to stay on the spaceship every day!"
"That's right! It is indeed a pleasant thing to be able to get out of the spaceship and embrace nature!" Yun Ge agreed. Although he hadn't remembered the previous things, he strongly agreed with the woman's idea in his subconscious. So the two left the dock and walked into a small town not far from the dock.
Of course, it would be better to say that what came into Yun Ge's eyes was a temporary settlement point. Although there are some traces of urban planning and construction in front of Yun Ge on this plain, most of the infrastructure has not been built. What's more, many half-built areas seem to have been abandoned, and there is obviously no sign of construction.
"Ah! Won't this group of expedition guys forget the work of building here because they are too obsessed with fishing? It's really unlucky! I still hoped to come here to relax well! As a result, the leisure and entertainment facilities here have not been built yet? It seems that we can only go to the restaurant to rest first! Alas! Although these guys have been fishing all the time, they at least still know how to eat! Hope their food is delicious!" The woman pointed to a building with lights on in the center of the town and said with an expectant tone.
