Volume 1 Chapter 8 A New Beginning

Chromie couldn't help but glance at Chitaki, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

"The Hippogne is a pioneer ship that escaped from the destroyed Hyperion star. We are looking for a planet suitable for habitat. By the way, let me tell you one thing. Most of the areas we passed along the way were occupied by aliens. That is to say, except for the Hipporium,

There is no other place for you to live on the Bonny."

Everyone present, including the pirates, was stunned, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Three days later, Chitaki opened his eyes. He still feels like he is dreaming. He is lying on a very hard metal bed and looking up at the metal ceiling.

The space of the room is very narrow, only about seven square meters. There is no independent toilet, a bed, a table, and all the furniture. There is a light and a vent on the ceiling.

Although he was taken in, he actually became the lowest level citizen.

The Hippogriff is a giant interstellar carrier. According to Chromie, the Hippogriff is about 80 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide, housing more than 20 million people.

And not all of the mothership is a living area, so you can imagine how overcrowded the Shipney was at this time.

The living area is divided into 5 areas, a, b, c, d, and f. The resources enjoyed by each area are also different.

Chitaki is currently in the bottom floor of Area F, which is specially used to accommodate wandering interstellar refugees. According to the captain of the Shipani, the mothership is a person in a sense, and people need fresh blood.

Injected.

Of course, the Hippogriff does not support idlers. After being taken in, you have to find a job on your own to support yourself. There are two types of currency available on the Hippogne, one is points and the other is star coins.

Chitaki is a little confused. The points are understandable, but why can the star coins still be used? Didn't Chromie say that the place they passed has basically been conquered?

This has always puzzled Chitaki, and the Shipani has been wandering in this boundless universe for more than two hundred years, which means that the aliens have already passed the Feralas defense line by some means.

When Hyperion was first destroyed, it was also attacked from the rear, so the Hippogne had no way to fly to the rear, so it wanted to go to the Feralas Defense Line to seek help there.

It is equivalent to saying that the spacecraft is flying towards the front line.

The technology used by the Shipney mothership is very good. It uses light energy and energy crystal stones to drive it. As for the supplies, part of it relies on the mothership's internal circulation system and production area, and part of it is found along the way.

Synthetic food technology is very mature. Basically, it doesn’t matter how much you want to produce, but there is one most critical issue. Synthetic food requires energy.

The small house Chitaki lives in is not free. According to the policy on the spaceship, he can use it for free for 3 months, and within 3 months, he can enjoy a certain amount of free water, and other public resources.

It's free, but you need to pay if you want to use it later. For example, Xiaowo needs to pay 100 points or 100 star coins every month. The two are equivalent.

There was a knock on the door, and Chitaki opened the door in confusion.

I saw Chromie standing at the door with a sunny smile that he thought was very good.

Milo followed Chromie, holding a box in his hands.

"Boy, don't invite us in."

"Please come in." Chitaki replied.

Chromie walked in, looked around and said.

"How about you get used to it?"

"Very good." Chitaki replied.

"These synthetic foods are for you." Chromie motioned to Milo to put the box down.

Milo placed the box on the table next to him.

"Didn't the spaceship launch?" Chitaki couldn't help but look at Chromie.

Chromie replied nonchalantly, "This is also from the spaceship. Go find a job quickly, even if you ask for it. Only by finding a job can you survive on this spaceship, otherwise you will only starve to death and end up dead."

It becomes nourishment.”

Chitaki asked after hesitation.

"Why do you have to tell me so much."

Chromie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are not so many reasons. Since I survived, I will live a good life. I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go to the next one. It's really a troublesome job."

After finishing speaking, Chromie stood up and walked out.

After seeing the two of them off, Chitaki looked at the small box of nutrition bars and fell into silence.

The spaceship has already distributed rations for seven days. This small box is estimated to be enough for a month. The spaceship will not be so generous. This can only be a gift from Chromie himself.

Chitaki took a deep breath. He needed to show up to look for a job. He had failed in the past two days.

The technology on Belloc is inferior to that of the Shippenny. Even if the refugees who fled here have any technology, it will be of little use.

Chitaki walked out and closed the door.

At first glance, there are densely packed metal buildings in front of me. There are connecting passages between each building. You can't see the bottom when you look down. Chitaki's room number is f2-65-345-214.

f2 represents the second partition in area f, 65 represents the 65th building, 345 represents the number of floors, and 214 is the room number.

During the day, residents of Area F can cross to Area D, but they must return after seven o'clock. The time system in the mothership is 24 hours. The intelligent optical brain of the mothership controls the artificial sun to alternate between day and night. This is deduced.

The most suitable model for human habitat.

Chitaki walked towards the passage to District D. There will be more job opportunities in District D than in District F. Of course, the competition is also very fierce. As for the salary, there is no need to be too paranoid. If you can find it, it will be very good.

There were many people who had the same idea. Chitaki even saw some familiar figures, who were refugees who were placed on the spaceship together.

Many people smiled when they saw Chitaki, and Chitaki smiled and nodded in response.

Soon Chitaki reached the forks, which can lead to different divisions in Area D.

Chitaki plans to try his luck in area d1 this time.

There is a checkpoint at the connection between Area D and Area F. Anyone who wants to enter Area D must go through some inspections. In some ways, it can be regarded as discrimination. This discrimination is not completely unreasonable. After all, the living conditions in Area F are not good.

, and there are often new refugees entering. Although the body has been checked before boarding the spacecraft, who knows what may not be detected, and daily routine checks are still needed.

Chitaki walked to the checkpoint and lined up with the crowd.

The inspection passage is very spacious, and people enter very quickly.

Soon we arrived at Chitaki, who walked into a special inspection arched passage.

Stepping in, you can feel the different colors of light sweeping across his body.

"Identification passed."

"Chitaki."

"Fifth-class citizen."

"The body is in good health."

"Mental state: healthy"

Chitaki walked through the inspection channel listening to the cold mechanical sound.
