Chapter 868 Thanksgiving and Depressed(1/2)
The interior of the space teleportation station is a well-connected structure. When guests use the teleportation station, they must submit an appointment to Dream Network through communication and communicators in advance before entering the station, and book a teleportation quota for themselves at least ten minutes in advance.
This is because the administrator of the transmission station needs to set up relevant transmission data in advance based on the destination you want to go, such as the location and link of spatial coordinates, and the application for transmission permission to the destination.
of.
All spatial transmission stations can open transmission channels with each other by adjusting coordinate link objects, so they do not necessarily have to be completely fixed transmission routes, but in order to be more convenient for management, in daily life, all spatial transmission stations are roughly
A set of teleportation routes are fixed.
For example, if you want to go from the Saint Angel Church to the Dreamland, you must first arrive at a border city like Ziying City, and then jump from the teleportation station of the border city to the Eastern Border City of Nederles, the dreamland
Finally, go to other cities in the Dreamland through the teleportation station in this border city.
The teleportation station in the border city is a necessary threshold. On the one hand, it is for the convenience of centralized management, and on the other hand, it is also for national defense security reasons. Even if an enemy wants to invade other countries through the teleportation station, the other party will also
It must first pass the inspection of border checkpoints, and cannot directly reach the core hinterland of other countries in one step.
At the same time, there are some energy saving purposes. Even if it is a transmission route with the same total distance length, one-time long-distance transmission and short-distance transmission connected multiple times will save the energy of the transmission station more effectively.
cost.
This is similar to the difference between you running three thousand meters at a time and running six sprints each time for 500 meters. Although the latter will spend more time due to conflict rest, it is obviously more energy-saving. The operation of the transmission device
The principle is similar to this. The length of the distance spanned by the space channel transmitted each time is in a curved incremental relationship with the transmission consumption.
Therefore, in daily life, this space teleportation station in Ziying City maintains coordinate positioning links with more than a dozen cities in other countries in the world.
More than ten indoor portals have been built inside the teleportation station. When necessary, the transmission channels corresponding to their respective destinations will be built. Because the spatial coordinate data have been set in advance, the transmission will be enabled.
The channel basically does not require much preparation time.
The appointment system for sending quotas at least ten minutes in advance will facilitate the administrator of the teleportation station to plan the time and shifts. If you find that there is no one who makes an appointment to use the quota for a short period of time, you can temporarily close it.
, thereby better saving energy.
After Vader entered the teleportation station in Ziying City, he opened his Lingshu communicator with a familiar craftsmanship, followed the road map marked on a small projection window above, and found his target link in the site to the border of Nederles, the dreamland.
The portal of the city, the number of this portal is very high, just the first one.
Because such a big event happened yesterday, during this period, there were many people who wanted to go to Needles, many of whom were Vader's colleagues, so there was a lineup in front of the entrance passage of Portal 1.
A long line.
Fortunately, because the destination is to lead to the dreamland, the person who is responsible for security checks in this passage is the person from the dreamland. The other party uses a Lingshu communicator (intelligent brain) that is obviously more advanced than the outside world, and the inspection efficiency of pedestrians is extremely efficient.
High, so Vader didn't wait for too long and came to the portal.
"reporter?"
A man in black with a cold face guarding the portal glanced at Vader in front of him. In the visual image that only he could see, the intelligent brain of the Lingshu communicator was projected in the corner of his vision.
A series of data popped up on the translucent window, which were Vader's identity information and the inspection results marked with the words "allowed to pass".
The man in black glanced at Vader with a little meaningful look, but didn't say anything, because in the past half day, he had seen several people with identity like Vader. According to the information transmitted back from the sub-machine network
It shows that the newspapers and magazines behind such people have more or less support from official backgrounds and behind-the-scenes manipulation, and are tools specifically to provide the official with the purpose of public opinion manipulation.
So many reporters who are controlled by the mouthpieces of various countries have just suffered in the Dream Country. There are a large number of disaster-affected people in the country that need to be dealt with. How could the senior executives of the Dream Country not be able to guess the trick here?
But for these people, Dreamland is not easy to refuse their entry. After all, the other party is taking the official path openly, and his identity and procedures are not bad.
So, the senior executives of the Dreamland were not afraid of letting these people with ulterior motives come to investigate the information, so they let them go. At most, they were instructed to pay attention to the movements of these people.
The guard in black nodded and signaled. Although Vad felt that the other party's gaze seemed a little strange when he looked at him, it was not easy to explore anything at this time, because the people behind him in the passage were already urging him.
Stepping into the space vortex that was slightly emitting a faint silver light inside the portal, Vader suddenly felt a slight sense of weightlessness, but this strange feeling lasted for only a short moment. When he realized it,
My feet were already on the solid floor again.
Behind him is a whirlpool passage with a portal that still emits a slight silver glow. In front of him is an alloy passage made of characteristic metal steel plates. A crystal guide signal light with lighting hanging above his head. You can see some familiar costumes beside him.
The guard in black.
Everything seems to be no different from before entering the portal, but Vader, who has had many experiences, knows that he should have crossed tens of thousands of miles now and moved from the Eastern Continent's country to the Western Continent's dreamland.
It's.
"Although I have experienced it many times, this convenient space technology that has been directly popularized into the public has to make people sigh at its magic... Unfortunately, it belongs to others after all." Vader was both admiring and regretful and secretly
He sighed.
"Sir, please give in." At this moment, the person who followed Vader out of the portal immediately behind him urged him to interrupt Vader's feelings.
"Uh, sorry, if you are in a hurry, you can go first." Vader smiled a little awkwardly and took the initiative to make way for the pass.
Although the portal channel is relatively spacious and can allow many people to pass in parallel at the same time at one time, if it is not necessary, such a large channel will not be opened, because it will make the operating power of the space transmission device extremely high and consume very much.
energy.
So this time, the opening of the Portal No. 1 that Vader and his friends took was smaller, just like the size of an ordinary indoor corridor. If Vader continues to occupy the exit of the Portal Channel, the person behind him will be
It's really hard to leave.
"It's okay, pay attention next time." The man behind the urging was a man in a suit and tie. His tone was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything more to Vader. He looked very hurried and went from Vader.
De skipped past him and walked quickly towards the exit of the passage.
As a reporter's keen observation, Vader noticed the anxiety and vague worry on the man's face.
He thought about it, as if he had thought of something, and immediately followed him.
The two of them passed the inspection checkpoint at the end of the transmission channel one after another, waited for the Lingshu communicator to automatically verify their identity, confirmed that the verification of their respective transfer procedures was completed, and the usage fee in credit coins prepaid on the Mengwang account
After all the settlement was settled, I quickly walked out of the teleportation station.
As soon as he left the teleportation station, Vader caught up with the man.
"Sir, can you get to know me? I am a reporter from the Knights of the St. Angel's Knights of the Knights. Can you delay your time a little?"
"Sorry, I'm not available now!" The man accelerated his pace impatiently, trying to shake Vader away. His footsteps were faster and walked towards a cruiser station near the teleportation station.
But soon, his steps suddenly slowed down because the Lingshu communicator on his body suddenly heard a message from the intelligent brain:
Ding~! I detected that you have a unilateral payment request from a strange account. The account coordinates of the payer are six meters behind you, and the transaction amount is 1,000 credit coins. Do you want to accept it?
The man in the suit stopped and looked at Vader. He did not choose to accept the credit coins sent by the unilateral transaction, but asked, "What do you mean?"
1,000 points of credit coins, this amount of salary that grassroots working people earned for several months.
The man in the suit doesn't believe that someone would give him such a large sum of money for nothing. However, for the sake of this sum of money, he didn't mind listening to what this guy wanted to do.
"Sir." Seeing that the other party was finally willing to listen to him, Vader showed a kind smile and walked up to ask, "Can you tell me what you are going to do when you come to the Dreamland this time? Oh, don't get me wrong,
As I just introduced, my job is a journalist from the news agency. I want to ask about your itinerary and I just feel that what news you may find in you..."
Seeing that the man in the suit suddenly became a little gloomy, Vader quickly added: "Of course, I won't bother you for nothing, I can pay the corresponding reward! If you are willing to cooperate, the prices will be easy to negotiate, and it will not be
It will delay you too much time.”
"Okay, but let's talk as we go." The man in the suit hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the station, but this time he slowed down a lot.
In addition, he also ordered his Lingshu communicator to accept the 1,000 credit coins sent by Vader just now, as a reward for his agreement to talk to the other party.
Vader quickly followed.
After the cruiser arrived, the two got into the car together and sat down side by side, Vad took the initiative to open up the conversation.
"Speaking of this, I haven't asked the gentleman's name yet."
"Just call me Mike."
"Okay, Mr. Mike, judging from your hurry just now, it seems that there is something urgent to come to the Dreamland? If I guess correctly, is it related to the disaster that happened here yesterday?" Vader asked tentatively.
.
When Vader talked about this, Mike's face became a little darker again.
"What do you ask about this?"
Seeing the change in Mike's expression, Vader knew that he had asked the right person.
He smiled apologetically: "If this makes you feel unpleasant, then let me apologize. But this is my job."
"Are you a reporter?" Mike already understood the other party's purpose and looked a little unhappy: "It's really not a pleasant experience to interview me at this time."
Although he was in a bad mood, Mike did not directly refuse the party for the credit coins he had just received.
"I'll waste too much time on you."
Vader smiled indifferently: "No problem, this interview time will be over until this cruising car arrives at Mr. Mike's destination."
Next, through the conversation, Vader learned that Mr. Mike, who was born in a second-rate country in the western continent of the main material continent, was a businessman who established a small chamber of commerce with his friends.
It runs a business of domesticating and selling elves eggs.
Because the Dreamland has the technology of taming and cultivating elves and strange beasts that are very dominant, the small chamber of commerce run by Mike and his friends was inevitably affected by the Dream Store and their business began to plummet.
In order to recover the losses, Mike and others had to give up their original chamber of commerce business model and instead began to seek cooperation from the Dream Country.
Simply put, it is to apply to become a kind of ‘lower-level agent’ of the dream store.
They chose to buy domesticated elf cubs, adults, or high-quality elf eggs from the fantasy store at a low price, and then take them back to their chamber of commerce to sell them as agents.
And Mike and others have become such an agent.
