From the perspective of the port, although it is not as high-tech as the interstellar era, it is not much different.
Many devices look like they have no idea what they are used for, but they are more convenient to use than Interstellar Society.
For example, the safety door that detects whether dangerous goods are carried, once people pass there, as long as you bring prohibited items, the door will instantly form a hollow layer, isolating the carrier.
They also saw some people riding not on boats, but on huge sea beasts with simple fences and seats placed on them. Some people specially raised such sea beasts to serve as transportation.
Mili looked envious and really wanted to experience it now.
Mainly the sea beast, she had never seen it before, it was very docile.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to queue up for registration, Mili took Anthony and several little mermaids and ran over to watch the big sea beast.
Thinking of the endless seafood in his bracelet, I wonder if this sea beast is picky about food.
The person who keeps the sea beasts is already used to it being strange for children to come and watch.
This is the case every time he brings his big baby here, and he has even developed a new project. With only a little money, you can buy fresh fish and seaweed from him to feed the sea beasts.
Mili observed it and spent money to buy a bucket.
This bucket is not big, and can hold about five kilograms of fish and seaweed at most. However, a large sea monster can eat hundreds of kilograms of food in one meal, and this small bucket is only enough to fit between its teeth.
The boss is not particularly evil. A bucket of fish is worth about one star coin when exchanged. Mili directly brought ten buckets so that the little guys who followed her could start feeding the sea beasts.
After they finished feeding, it was their turn to go to the island.
When the boss wasn't paying attention, Mili quickly stuffed a big blue fish into the big sea beast's mouth.
The big fish tastes very strong. Mili likes to eat it anyway, so I don’t know if the big sea beast is good enough to eat it.
She skipped away with the people, not noticing that the big sea beast kept watching her with its small and wise eyes until she passed through the safety door.
The big sea beast travels back and forth on a regular basis. It comes every morning and goes back in the evening. The boss will let it go to the sea to find food on its own during the rest of the time.
After all, it’s good to be able to sell twenty or thirty buckets of those snacks a day, but you can’t rely on this to make a full meal.
In addition to catching its own food, the breeder will also provide it with higher-energy food, otherwise it would not come to work for the boss. Even if it was raised since childhood, who will care about you if you don't give it a full meal.
After entering the island, follow the leader to find the contact point of their village here.
Short-term accommodation is also provided here, which is equivalent to an office.
Of course, this is not just the contact point for one of their villages. To be precise, the contact points for three of their villages are here.
Everyone was very familiar with each other. After arriving, we found a room and settled down according to the previous rules. Then the three villages met to discuss how to place the goods.
The building across the street from the contact point is the sales office. It is a three-story building. The area is not small, but the area on each floor is not large. It is impossible to put the goods from the three villages on the same floor.
"Allocating positions mainly starts with price."
This was not the first time for the mermaid boy to come here with his elders, so he was very familiar with the rules.
"The most expensive and rare ones are on the third floor, the mid-to-high-priced ones are on the first floor, and the more common ones are on the second floor."
This is also understandable.
Rare goods must not be placed casually for people to take at will. If you want them, the price must be negotiated individually.
"The price is actually not fixed. For example, the last time we brought an item, we were not sure of its value at the time, so we put it on the second floor. Then someone wanted to buy it in large quantities, so my uncle decisively moved it to the first floor. It turned out that
This thing is urgently needed by people somewhere, and they have even posted a collection task at the task release office."
"Is there a place where missions are released?"
"Of course! The purpose of us coming here is for these tasks. Every time we accept a task, we have three months to complete it. We can turn in the task at the next market."
The young man pointed to several large boxes in the side room on the first floor and said that they contained the items from the last mission they received.
"There is also an urgent task, which will be sent directly to the elders of each village, and then the people who want to take it will be picked up. That kind of task is generally dangerous and time-sensitive, but the reward is also high, not
People our age can handle it."
The tasks can only be handed in the next day. After the tasks are handed in, young people will have other projects to play.
Mili came here purely to broaden his horizons and buy needed materials, and was not very interested in taking on tasks.
The mermaid boy was very helpful and asked his companions to take over the task, while he went shopping with Mili, Anthony and Luo Nu.
Ao Che and Xiaohou'er didn't come over. Those two guys were not interested in shopping. They were all focused on how to connect to external signals better and more stably.
Thanks to the training during the previous period, Ao Che learned a lot of practical knowledge from his seniors. In addition, although the signal is unstable, he can barely communicate. If he doesn't understand, he can ask the big guys on the other side for advice in time. Generally speaking,
The progress was a little faster than they expected.
Just when Mili and the others went to the island market, the contact between Ao Che and Song Heng finally stabilized.
Delay is inevitable, but delay does not equal interruption.
What he said here and the images transmitted back will take about ten minutes to be received by the other party. If the transmitted data is too large, it will take even longer.
But judging from the current situation, this delay can be completely ignored.
"We are already stepping up the development of starship shell materials that can withstand stronger negative energy." Song Heng pinched the bridge of his nose. It was also a problem for his children to run too much.
"Thanks to the residual data from several research institutes that Mili discovered before, we analyzed that the negative energy should be artificially created and has a decay time. According to the existing data, the half-life is
About three thousand to five thousand years."
Therefore, they speculated that the center of the Lost Land may have returned to normal.
But it's unclear whether these man-made devices are still being manufactured.
"I will pass the data to you, and you can build a small detector to see if this kind of energy is being produced on your planet."
Ao Che hesitated and agreed to give it a try.
"In addition, the passage you mentioned has now disappeared."
"What? Disappeared?" Ao Che looked shocked.
That passage existed for a long time, at least more than a hundred years, and it existed very stably during that period. How could they disappear after entering? It felt like they were waiting for them on purpose?
"That's right, it disappeared completely, with no remaining energy at all. So we suspect that this channel was not naturally generated."
"Huh?" There are still people on that planet who have the ability to create space channels?
