Xu An did not respond, his eyes still looking into the distance.

The starship continued to sail in this quiet star field, calm but full of expectation.

This moment of tranquility may just be a brief respite before the storm.

But for Xu An, cherishing every moment of peace is the reason they persevere.

The starship moved steadily forward in the vast starry sky, the lights soft and quiet.

Xu An stood in the command cabin, silently gazing at the stars outside the porthole.

Elena was adjusting the data on the screen while Tarot was taking a nap beside her.

"There are no abnormal fluctuations at the moment." Elena reported in a low and steady voice.

..........

Xu An nodded and turned to walk towards the rest area.

As he reached the end of the corridor, he heard brisk footsteps.

A strange girl came from the maintenance area, her face covered in sweat.

When she saw Xu An, she quickly stood up straight and raised her hand to salute.

"Sir! I'm the newly assigned ship's doctor, Han Luo."

Xu An frowned slightly, "Ship doctor?"

Han Luo nodded, his expression showing a bit of nervousness, "I am responsible for all matters in the medical area."

"I was just checking the equipment, so I'm a little late."

Xu An looked her up and down, his tone calm.

“How’s the equipment?”

Han Luo smiled and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Everything is normal, but the stock of medicines needs to be replenished."

“Especially emergency resources.”

Xu An nodded, his voice calm, "I'll have the supply department cooperate with you."

Han Luo breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, sir!"

Xu An turned and left, but Han Luo suddenly caught up with him.

"Sir, there's something else I want to tell you."

Xu An stopped and turned to look at her, "What's the matter?"

Han Luo hesitated for a moment and whispered, "There are some problems with the crew's mental state."

"Long-term stress causes many people to suffer from insomnia or anxiety."

Xu An was silent for a moment, frowning slightly.

“How many people are affected?”

"According to preliminary statistics, about one-third." Han Luo's tone was filled with worry.

Chapter 243: Resources and Facilities Are Limited! We Need to Let Them Relax!!

 “They need to relax, but resources and space are limited.”

Xu An thought for a moment, his eyes determined, "I will find a way to solve it."

Han Luo nodded, a hint of gratitude on his face, "Thank you, sir."

She turned and left, her steps much lighter.

Xu An stood there, his eyes fixed on the end of the corridor.

"Insomnia and anxiety..." He muttered to himself, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

Not long after, he returned to the command module of "877" and saw Taro sipping hot drinks.

"You really have so much free time." Xu An said lightly.

Taro grinned, "It can't be helped. Someone has to keep the mood cheerful."

Xu An sat down, his eyes calm, "The ship's doctor reported that there is something wrong with the crew's mental state."

Elena looked up, a look of worry on her face, "Is it the stress from the battle?"

Xu An nodded, "The long-term tension makes it impossible for them to completely relax."

Taro put down the cup, his expression becoming serious, "This problem is indeed serious."

"If everyone's spirit collapses, the ship will not be able to survive."

Elena sighed, "But what can we do?"

“Resources are limited and recreational facilities are inadequate.”

Xu An's eyes were calm. "We must give them some time to truly relax."

Taro frowned, "Could it be possible that we could still hold a party?"

Xu An smiled slightly, "Maybe it's a good idea."

Elena was stunned, "Party? Are you serious?"

Xu An nodded, his eyes firm, "Give everyone a sense of normal life."

"Otherwise, prolonged repression will only make the problem worse."

Taro stood up, a hint of excitement in his eyes, "Then leave it to me."

"I'll arrange this epic relaxation!"

Elena shook her head, "Don't go overboard, we still need to conserve resources."

Xu An nodded slightly, "Meet at the rest area in three hours."

Taro left quickly, excitedly shouting about his plans as he walked.

Elena smiled helplessly, "I hope it won't be too messy."

Three hours later, the rest area was decorated with a brand new look.

Simple colored lights hung from the ceiling, and several tables were filled with food.

The crew members came in one after another, their faces showing excitement and confusion.

"What's going on?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Is today the day of the 9th and 5th month of the Chinese New Year?"

Taro stood in the center and announced loudly, "This is the captain's special permission to relax!"

"Everyone, eat and drink to your heart's content!"

The crew was stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers...

Han Luo stood aside, looking at everyone's smiles, with relief in his eyes.

Xu An leaned against the wall, observing everything silently.

Elena walked over to him and whispered, "It worked well."

Xu An nodded slightly, "These laughs are more important than any weapons."

Taro walked up to Xu An holding a drink.

"Xu An, you should relax too."

Xu An took the cup and took a sip.

"I'm very relaxed 4.2." He said it calmly, but with a hint of warmth.

Han Luo came over with a plate of snacks in his hand.

"Thank you, sir." She smiled brightly.

“Activities like this are really important.”

Xu An looked at her, his eyes softening a little, "This is what everyone deserves."

Han Luo nodded, turned around and joined the crew's laughter.

Soon after, music started playing and the crew members began dancing in twos and threes.

Chapter 244: Still recruiting students? Strange behavior!!

Taro pulled Elena to the center of the venue, with a hint of teasing in his laughter.

"Come on, relax! Stop staring at the screen!"

Elena reluctantly followed him for a few steps, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Xu An stood in the corner, watching the lively scene quietly.

At this moment, he felt a long-lost peace and contentment.

But there was hesitation in his eyes, still a hint of vigilance.

The calm is only temporary, the real test is still far away.

Xu An whispered, "We will continue to move forward in this sea of ​​stars."

His voice was soft, but it seemed to carry the power to penetrate the starry sky.

He knew that as long as everyone stayed together, they would reach their destination.

Xu An stood outside the rest area, observing the lively scene inside through the transparent cabin door.

Laughter and joy filled the entire room, and the crew members finally showed long-lost smiles on their faces.

"It looks like they've adapted." Elena came over and said leaning against the cabin door.

Xu An nodded slightly, "Yes, but this peace will not last long."

Elena sighed, "You are always so pessimistic."

Xu An turned his head and looked at her, his eyes calm, "It's not pessimism, but preparing a way out."

Elena glanced at him, then chuckled, "But it's not bad for the moment."

Xu An did not respond, but his gaze returned to the rest area.

Just then, a young voice came from behind, "Sir, I want to talk to you about something."

Xu An turned around and saw a thin boy standing there.

He looked to be in his early twenties and looked a little nervous.

"Who are you?" Xu An asked without any emotion in his tone.

"I'm Li Kun, a new student assigned to the starship." The boy stood at attention and saluted, his voice trembling.

Elena raised an eyebrow, "Students? Are you still recruiting students?"

Li Kun scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Maybe they were short of resources, so they arranged for me to come here on short notice."

Xu An nodded, his eyes scrutinizing him, "What's your problem?"

Li Kun took a deep breath and his expression became serious. "I want to know, in this situation, what are our chances of winning?"

Elena was slightly stunned and turned to look at Xu An.

Xu An's gaze narrowed slightly, and his tone was low, "The chances of winning are related to the choices we make."

"As long as we don't give up, there's always a chance of winning."

After hearing this, Li Kun's eyes showed a hint of thought, but he was still confused.

“But what if all the choices are wrong?”

Xu An's gaze became deeper, and he said softly, "Then let's create new options."

The boy raised his head, a glint of admiration in his eyes, but still a little confused.

Elena patted Li Kun's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, just focus on what's happening right now."

Li Kun nodded, but he couldn't help asking, "If sacrifice is required... what would you choose?"
