A huge spaceship was suspended in the port, making Hao Ren feel like he would never have to watch Hollywood again in his life.
It is difficult to directly judge the size of this spaceship with the naked eye. To Hao Ren, its long axis looks like a mountain range suspended in the port. The ship has a light blue paint, and underneath the paint there are
Seeing the light gray, silver and white background, I don't know if it has been like this from the beginning or has been modified to some extent. The overall spacecraft is wedge-shaped with one end larger and one smaller, but the transition in size is very smooth, with two vertically crossing divisions.
The line divided the spacecraft into four completely symmetrical parts from beginning to end. Reminiscent of the catamaran built by the people on Earth, Hao Ren felt that this should be called a "tetramaran". The wider end of the spacecraft faced the fourth part.
Connecting the interior of the port, the thinner end faces the opening of the star port, facing the bright stars in the distance. Complex light signals are swimming on the outer shell of the spacecraft, giving people the feeling of flowing fireflies.
Under the spacecraft, there are four huge steel beams (the material is definitely not steel) in the fourth connection port. The spaces between these four giant steel beams are filled with transparent crystals. People standing on them may slip and float into space.
The illusion is that these four beams emit a constant shimmer. The light is not strong, but it seems to have some resonance with the light on the outer shell of the spacecraft suspended above it.
"That's a force field restraint device." The conductor girl had already seen that it was Hao Ren's first time coming into contact with this scene. She had been introducing everything here to Hao Ren with a perfect professional attitude. "The four main beams are used to stabilize the spacecraft in the
The location in the port prevents drift, and can provide departure acceleration or entry guidance for some older models of spacecraft - after all, there are still many less advanced civilizations in this universe."
Hao Ren nodded. He looked at the opening connecting the port to the universe. He had just noticed that occasionally there would be other huge objects floating slowly from the distance. The guide noticed his sight and explained: "Those are other huge objects."
Spaceships entering or leaving the port. This is a large-scale relay station. All ports are controlled by efficient artificial intelligence, and the daily spacecraft throughput is three digits."
Hao Ren smacked his tongue, but his eyes were still on the giant spaceship in front of him: "How big is this thing? I'll give it a try...Battle Fortress?"
"Actually, it's not too big," the girl guide said with a smile, "It is a passenger and cargo ship from a private company. It is a medium-sized model in this series, with a long axis of 3.2 kilometers, and a primary
Space expansion container cabin. To some elementary civilizations, it is a big man, but in your eyes... this is also considered a big ship?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment and didn't realize what "in your eyes" meant. After a few seconds, he suddenly remembered his identity: an employee of the Xiling Empire's Space-Time Management Bureau. Although he was currently a temporary worker and still at the apprentice level, this apprentice level
That is also a classification that only exists within the empire. In the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference between a trainee prosecutor and a formal prosecutor. The guide girl in front of him regards Hao Ren as a "big figure in the system." When Hao Ren thought of this
Ren suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility to maintain the dignity of the empire. He nodded like a big-tailed wolf: "Well, of course I didn't compare it with the imperial spaceship..."
The data terminal muttered in Hao Ren's head: "Pretend, besides this aircraft, have you seen other flying objects made by the empire so far?"
"I've seen it before, Raven 12345's house. Not only can it fly, but it can also fly upside down."
Data terminal: "..."
At this time, the conductor girl took out a small device and pressed it a few times, seemingly signaling to other staff at the port. Then she led Hao Ren and his party forward: "My mission ends when I bring you to the captain."
Please come with me."
Hao Ren followed and walked forward. Just now he saw a small group of people standing on an alloy platform under the spaceship. They looked like staff. This group of people made Hao Ren's "little green man" dream.
Satisfied: Half of them are human beings who are almost the same as people on Earth. But the other half have weird shapes and everything, including short and fat creatures with hair on their faces, and some wearing weird spherical glass helmets filled with liquid.
They were aquatic species, and there were also two thin and small dwarfs with dark green skin. Hao Ren breathed out after seeing these people: He felt that he had finally seen aliens in a real sense. This guide beside him
The girl is so kind, and he really can't find the feeling of entering the sea of stars...
No matter how strange their appearance is, this group of people are all wearing gray-white uniforms of the same style or at least close to it, and there is a light yellow triangular logo on the clothes. This logo matches the logo somewhere on the outer shell of the spacecraft. At first glance, it is this flight.
The staff, the usher girl, led Hao Ren forward to greet them, and finally stood in front of an unusually burly man with a naughty smile on his face: "Mr. Captain, the distinguished guests have been brought, what's left is
I leave it to you."
"Oh," the man called the captain is tall and strong, with a square face that looks quite powerful, and his strong muscles almost burst the gray-white uniform. He seems to be very familiar with the guide here, laughing
Then he waved his hand to the other party, "Go back and tell that old guy Laval that I will bring some good wine next time I come here and ask him to prepare his wallet!"
The usher girl nodded and bowed with a smile, and then disappeared from everyone's eyes with a distorted curtain of light.
"You three are distinguished guests, right?" "Captain" turned to look at Hao Ren and his party, "Um...who is the prosecutor?"
Hao Ren was called Your Excellency for the first time in his life. He was immediately flattered and nodded quickly: "I, I am. So... are there any boarding procedures or something?"
"You are performing official duties. After verifying your identity, you will be exempted from all procedures and security checks." The "Captain" waved to the crew members beside him to let them board the ship, while taking out a rectangular device with a shining blue light. "Verification of identity requires
Brush it..."
Before he finished speaking, the data terminal popped out of Hao Ren's pocket: "This machine is here, come and scan it."
Hao Ren watched in amazement as the data terminal floated over and rubbed against the "Captain's" scanning device. He heard a beep and the device indicated that the verification had passed...
For the first time in his life, he saw a ticket that checked for himself!
"Then, Your Excellency the Examiner and your two assistants, please board the ship," the captain pointed to a metal platform suspended in mid-air next to him, grinning, "Interstellar Express Company Transport Ship No. 883 wishes you a pleasant journey."
Nangong Wuyue was the first to jump up: "Get on the boat, get on the boat!"
Hao Ren almost completed the boarding process in a dazed state. He stood on the floating platform and floated into a small hatch under the belly of the huge spaceship. After entering, he was in a lot of messy corridors and warehouses.
Floating around, I finally came to a clean and spacious place. The incredibly strong captain yelled at the communication equipment on the floating platform: "Okay, send a signal to the control tower, get ready!!"
"How long will it take us to get there?" Hao Ren suddenly remembered that he had never asked this question about the itinerary, because he had no idea what "eight hundred light years" was before. At this time, amid a bunch of super-future scenes,
After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly realized that he had to go faster than the speed of light once, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, this is my first time on a spaceship..."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I've already told you everything above," the captain stretched out his hand and shook Hao Ren's hand hard, making Hao Ren's knuckles crackle. "We can get there in one day. Just stay in the cabin and sleep."
We arrived at the station as soon as we woke up. This ship is the star ship on this route. It has been ranked first for seven consecutive years. By the way, you can just call me 883..."
Hao Ren was stunned: "...883? Isn't this the name of your spaceship?"
"I named her after myself!" The captain who called himself 883 laughed. "This is our rule. A man should have a ship with his own name. We make a living on ships. Ships
She is a man’s second wife!”
Hao Ren: "..."
He felt that the captain in front of him had subtly misunderstood something, but it seemed that there were indeed cultural differences between different races, so it was better not to delve into this issue.
Hao Ren was led by another crew member to the cabin arranged for him. He was surprised to find that it was a luxurious suite with four bedrooms. Although the interior furnishings were weird, he could almost tell that it was a luxury suite with four bedrooms.
What is it for? He subconsciously asked: "Is this room specially modified for the three of us?"
"No, this is a standard first-class cabin." The crew member who led the way was a short young man with dark skin. His smile was a little reserved. "This ship is used for both passengers and cargo. Sections D6 to D17 on the flanks are dedicated passenger areas. We have
Luxurious and thoughtful passenger service, and more than half of the guest rooms are specially designed for the first type of carbon-based passengers... Although we have not had any passengers yet because the captain was crazy and chose the wrong license plate, and there is no room service department on the ship, but
Please believe that at least the equipment in the room is professional.”
Hao Ren: "..."
He inexplicably felt as if he had been tricked by someone again! (To be continued...)
