Bailey turned to Daniel and said, "I'm a prisoner on this ship, it's a shame!" "One of the most important reasons we haven't talked about is to protect your life," Daniel said. "Who's going to kill me?" "Everyone knows you're a brilliant detective. Not only in Aurora, but in the universe, everyone's seen that space show where you solve crimes in Solaria." "so what?" "Dr. Fastolfer believes that the complete destruction of Yandell Parnell's brain circuits was purely accidental. But his political opponents made a big fuss about it in an attempt to defeat the Doctor. The Doctor invites you to reconnaissance in Aurora, And prove that he is innocent. Of course some people don't want you to succeed. It's hard to say that they won't kill you." When Daniel said these words, his tone was still calm and unmoved.

"One more question. Besides the destroyed Yandell Parnell, how many humanoids are there in Aurora?" "One, not only in Aurora, but in the entire universe, there is only one." "One!" Bailey exclaimed softly in surprise. "Just you Daniel." "Yes, friend Ilya. I was the prototype. Yandel was copied from me. Dr. Fastolfer has since refused to make new humanoids." Bailey was lost in thought.At this time, Daniel said again: "In a way, I am a prisoner like you. I am ordered not to leave this room, not to leave you." "So we're all going to be safe?"

"Giscart is planting classes outside the door." "Is he okay?" "He knows his job well. He's strong, strong, and powerful." Giscart entered the room without saying hello.Bailey is used to this.This robot is his "protector", of course he has the right to do so. Giscart held something like a square box in his hand. "Sir, I think you might want to observe Aurora from space." Bailey was taken aback.He thought, this is not Daniel's idea.He turned to Daniel and said, "Thanks, Daniel friend." "Giscart thought of it," Daniel said.

"Then I thank you too. What are you holding in your hand?" "It's an astronomical analog observer. It's easy to use. If you have any questions, Daniel will help you. I have to go back to my post." After Giscart left, Bailey turned to Daniel and said, "It seems that this robot is not simple. I thought he was a low-level robot." "It's also Dr. Fastolfer's masterpiece, friend Ilya.—This astronomical analog observer is automatically adjusted by the human nervous system. You just press this button." Bailey pressed the button and let out a sudden cry.

"What's wrong?" Daniel asked. "I seem to have entered the space alone, the room, you, and even myself have disappeared, it's terrible!" "I have said that the observer works directly through the human brain, so you have this feeling." Bailey pressed the button again.All around, there are twinkling stars. "Look at Orion, please. Aurora's sun is the star r Cetus. From here, look at the bright star in the middle parallel to Orion. It takes 373.5 Aurora days for Aurora to go around star r, and Aurora has 10 a year month, 30 days in January, 22 hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour, 1 minute is equivalent to 0.8 minutes on the earth." Daniel explained skillfully, as if he had explained it thousands of times.

Since then, Bailey has to observe it on the observer every day.Aurora was getting closer and clearer.It is moving slowly, spinning... The ship landed without a sound, at least Baley didn't feel any particular noise or vibration.Giscart came in and said: "Sir, the three of us will go out through the passage. Dr. Fastolfer is waiting for us at the other end of the passage." "We took every precaution," Daniel added. "Troubleshoot, Daniel, Giscart," muttered Baley.
