Chapter 25 The Turtle
The vast Milky Way has more than 200 billion stars. Most stars in the Milky Way are concentrated in a flat spherical space, and the flat ball is shaped like a discus.
Ancient civilizations have left many relics. Even today when humans rule most of the Milky Way, there are many places that cannot be discovered. Planets suitable for humans to live in are even more precious. Although the Milky Way is so vast, planets similar to Earth are calculated based on the production of tens of millions of star systems. This also includes other civilization settlements and areas ruled by Morgans, so there are only more than 12,000 administrative stars that humans have publicly ruled.
These human-ruled planets seem to be many. Because of their vast territory, they have been divided into more than a hundred countries and autonomous regions. The three most powerful countries are the Angel Empire, the Star Dynasty, and the Federation of Light.
These three major powers account for nearly half of the administrative stars. In the quadrant coordinates of the Milky Way, the Angel Empire is in the north of the Milky Way, and the Starry Dynasty is in the south. The largest territory is the light federation in the center of the Milky Way. The solar system, which originated from humans, is in its dominant area. The solar system is 23,000 light years away from the center of the Milky Way. The span of this territory shows how large its dominant area is.
Some small countries live in the gaps between the three major countries and the western part of the Galaxy. Not many people in the eastern part of the Galaxy are willing to go because it has been divided into Morgan territory and they do not welcome humans.
Yi Shuihan is a young man who came out of the barren northwest. He was facing the star map in the pyramid and didn't know what to do. He was too many administrative stars marked on it. He didn't know where to go for a while. He was determined to find a prosperous planet to see it, but he felt it was too far away. He had basically understood the information that was too close to Feng Saturn, and he felt it was boring to go.
After choosing, my eyes suddenly lit up. There was a red giant star about five thousand light years away. The red giant star is an aging star, with the strongest brightness and large size. No one would live nearby. Naturally, it was not Yi Shuihan's destination. What he was interested in was a planet called Sovana, not too far from this red giant. I heard that it was a relatively famous administrative star in the Angel Empire. It is known for its food and semester robots. Most arms dealers also have a site for selling military robots. It is said that many star pirates appeared near Sovana. Although it was a little messy, it was definitely a good place to go. In addition, there was a set of damaged light armor and two alloy crystal robots in the ancient ring that had not been repaired. Although the pyramid has a repair function, the accessories were not easy to make. You can only buy new ones. You can naturally solve all problems there.
The journey can be said to be very far away. First of all, Yi Shuihan has to drive the spacecraft to the nearest space jumping point, otherwise he would fly over like this, and he really doesn't know what year or month it will take.
It took five days to rush to the space jump point. Yi Shuihan's only entertainment these days was to tease Fat Dun. Fat Dun and Guru were very familiar with each other, and Guru always had to chew the energy crystals for Fat Dun to chew it. After that, the two little guys divided the energy crystal fragments equally. Yi Shuihan really admired Fat Dun. Such a hard thing can be easily chewed, and it has a very good appetite and even metals. This is called Yi Shuihan's fear. If he put it in the spaceship one day and couldn't feed it on time, wouldn't he eat the spaceship? So he gave a round of education through Guru and finally told him to understand what can be eaten and what can't be eaten.
The energy crystals eaten by Pangdun and Gulu in five days were probably worth more than 10 million credit points. Yi Shuihan realized that he had raised two babies who burned money. Why did he look cute when he was obsessed with Pangdun? All he had to eat was money, and it was much more attractive than Gulu.
I really wanted to kick them out of the spaceship, but I couldn't bear it. After all, these two little things were accompanying me during the lonely sailing. It seemed that I had to make a diet plan for them.
While thinking about it, the pyramid reminded that the designated space jump point had reached.
The space jump points are actually the entrances of the wormhole, which is a special path of folding parallel space. With their existence, interstellar travel is much more convenient. Now humans have basically mastered the wormhole development technology, but some natural wormholes are still stable and can be used.
Following the procedure, Yi Shuihan made a space jump for the first time, and felt that everything around him, including himself, had been lengthened. After a moment, he recovered, as if there was no change. However, Yi Shuihan noticed that the energy consumption was actually as high as the total energy consumption of five days.
Just when I felt this feeling was very novel, the spacecraft suddenly intercepted a piece of information, and a figure appeared on the light screen. It was a beautiful girl in a blue uniform. She looked not yet twenty years old. She smiled and said, "Welcome to Sovana's third space jumping entrance. This is the toll station. Please provide your credit card account."
"What? Why do I have to charge money if I jumped over?" Yi Shuihan shouted out without thinking.
The girl in blue uniform was obviously stunned, and then thought for a moment and replied: "Sir, aren't you clear about the cooperation terms of the Star Travel Convention? Everyone should register at the jump site and submit the entry fee after passing the space jump."
"Huh? Why didn't I see the space station with a fee when I came?" Yi Shuihan was afraid of being blackmailed. If it was an interception point set by Star Pirates here, he could still escape, but if it was really a space station of the local government here, he would not dare to act rashly.
The girl searched again and said with some confusion: "You probably jumped from the turmoil. This jumping point can accommodate visitors from different star fields. According to the development level, the place you are coming is not enough to set up the space jump site, so no one charges you a handling fee."
After hearing the explanation from others, Yi Shuihan was ashamed that the other end of his hometown was too backward to set up a space station.
A cold sweat broke out on his head. He really didn't know that he had to pay the processing fee. Mr. Mu, his grandfather, didn't tell him about this. He could only apologize to Guangping and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't know, how much does it cost to pay?" Yi Shuihan felt guilty. If the money he brought was not enough, would he be able to pay the energy crystals?
This was the first time that the girl who charged the handling fee encountered such an interstellar traveler. She opened the space station database to check the spacecraft level and found that the light-transmitting pyramid was actually ranked at the top, a high-level spacecraft owned by only aristocratic scientists. There are probably only more than a thousand ships in the Galaxy, but she didn't know how it was owned by this young man and it drove from the poorest place. However, many things were not something she could manage, she could only do her job well.
With a professional smile, the girl replied: "Because your spaceship level is special, you can enjoy immunity. Welcome to the planet Sovana. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by you just now. I wasted your precious time because of my work mistakes." In fact, Yi Shuihan has always asked a question blankly, and he should be the one who is embarrassed.
"Oh? There are such benefits to high-end spacecraft? I should be sorry." Yi Shuihan smiled shyly. He was very rustic. He didn't know that in some places, he couldn't even invite a nobleman even if he was lanterned, so how could he charge a pass-through fee?
After passing through the space station, Yi Shuihan nodded constantly. It was still a grand place. There was such a large site in a place with handling fees. It was very well-armed, probably to prevent the attacks of star pirates.
He slowly admired the scenery of Sovana's outer space. The space station, which charges fees, has already reported his images and information about the light-transmitting pyramid to the above department, and has also received enough attention. It can be said that before he arrived at the planet, many people began to pay attention to the arrival of Yi Shuihan.
A guided airship appeared in front of him. Yi Shuihan lamented that the metropolitan planets are different. Everything is advanced, and there are people who actually come to pick them up. He didn't know that this was the fastest airship sent by a local big family who received the news, and he took the lead in greeting this "prestigious" guest.
It is natural that Yi Shuihan takes it all for granted, and those with some common sense will not think so.
Passing through the planet's atmosphere, Yi Shuihan began to be excited. The images from the pyramids showed enough vegetation and beautiful scenes on the ground, especially the modern giant city that appeared not far away attracted Yi Shuihan's attention. Countless small spacecraft approached the mooring platform next to the city in an orderly manner, and the dense floating vehicles in the city were really spectacular.
Time was not long, and finally parked the spacecraft on the mooring platform. Yi Shuihan walked out happily and was about to see it, but unexpectedly found that a series of luxurious suspended vehicles had parked outside the pyramid.
