Shang Yanwen finally embarked on the road back to Koluojia alone.
Of course he will not let Lu Shaoyu follow.
As he said before leaving, they are not from the same world.
He has decided to dedicate his life to a great cause. Lu Shaoyu doesn't have to be like this. Her life will be more exciting and more leisurely. She shouldn't go to that dark and backward place with him.
He knows Lu Shaoyu’s thoughts, but love may be just a temporary impulse, and how long will it take?
It is his responsibility to change his hometown. He knows that there is a long road ahead. There were so many obstacles and he didn't even know how many years he would spend on this. He shouldn't have dragged a beautiful girl along with him.
His difficult journey was even directly reflected in his journey back to his hometown.
It took him two days to take public transportation to the ground part of the star port on Wing Star; and then he queued up to the star port and waited for the ship, which took another three days.
The alliance has now established its own interstellar transportation within the alliance system, the main ones of which are the two ships, the Traveler II and the Flying Dolphin. The former can carry 2,000 people at a time, and the latter can carry about 80,000 people.
Both Nu Xiaoxing Shipyard and Feiyixing Shipyard have received a large number of orders from the Alliance Ministry of Public Transport to produce these two types of spacecraft for the construction of public flights within the star region.
In the past, normal people, including many wealthy people, rich people, and high-ranking officials, did not have the opportunity to travel between star regions.
For inter-governmental affairs, we rely on the ships of the star district government; for business transactions, it depends on whether each company can find a relationship and contact forces like Gu's Trading Company that are capable of interstellar navigation. It also needs to be a boat that happens to be passing by the destination, so I can catch a boat.
A year and a half ago, the alliance’s interstellar flights around the star region were officially launched. Although the fare is still very expensive and not affordable for ordinary people, whether this method is available or not, it is already a big step forward. If there really is something that requires a trip to another planet, at least there is a way to do so now.
Not to mention, if it is official or business travel, then the government or company will pay for the budget.
Shang Yanwen himself definitely does not have the money to take a boat to and from Koluojia and Feiyingxing. In fact, in the past three or four years of study, he has never gone back.
When he went back this time, he also received a free ticket with the government's approval.
There have been a lot of people returning to Koruga recently. He waited in line for three days before boarding flight b1733, which is a flying dolphin transport ship.
The conditions on the ship are not very good. There are two rows of four-story bunks in a compartment of about six square meters, with a corridor in the middle. Each bunk can sleep one person.
There are countless such compartments, stacked on top of each other inside the cabin.
Shang Yanwen is quite adaptable to this. althoughAlthough his accommodation conditions during college were not bad, the life he spent most of his life in Koroga was no better than this.
Putting his luggage in one of the four separate public compartments at the bottom of the bed, he lay down on the second floor from the top.
It was very crowded here, and Shang Yanwen could barely fit in. If he were any higher, he would hit his head.
He took out the book he had brought with him and started reading.
He prepared several books for the long journey from the Winged Star to Koroga.
The total trip, at the speed of the Flying Dolphin, would take six days, and he planned to pass the time by reading.
It’s just a pity that there are strict restrictions on carrying various items on an interstellar spacecraft. Books are in the restricted list, and more than one is not allowed. And before making the astral tunnel jump, all Books also have to be placed in designated locations for special storage, which is very troublesome.
However, Shang Yanwen still brought the most books within the prescribed scope so as not to waste any time.
The ship left the starport and floated in the void for two days.
Shang Yanwen estimated in his mind that he should be approaching the star tunnel node by now.
Although it is a point, it is indeed a point on the scale of the entire universe, but in fact, the transition point is a very large area. As the starship gradually approaches this area, the signal received by the transition identification system will gradually strengthen until the signal strength exceeds the critical point, which means that the current position of the starship has reached the transition standard. As long as the jump engine is started, the entire starship will jump into the star tunnel. From the outside, it will appear that the spacecraft disappears from the real universe in an instant.
These are the knowledge that Shang Yanwen learned from the book, including the fact that the ship has almost reached the transition point, which he judged based on his own knowledge. He stayed in this box-like compartment every day, unable to see or hear anything, and could only guess blindly.
However, the starship's jump engine never started.
He was quite confused as to whether he had guessed wrong
But he soon learned that it was not the case.
An alarm sounded in the cabin
"I'm sorry to inform all passengers that our journey may be delayed. Recently, there have been traces of pirates around the route, and the two alliance navies A group of pirates were tracked an hour ago, and there is a battle going on around the jump point in the Koroga system. We may have to wait here for two hours. I'm sorry for delaying everyone's schedule."
Oh, It turned out to be pirates.
Shang Yanwen had mentioned this matter in some news reports before.
In an editorial, Shang Yanwen also saw a point of view that he quite recognized. The arrival of pirates is inevitable.
In the past, there were no pirates in the Pegasus sector. On the one hand, the powerful Pegasus fleet is stationed in the star area. Which pirate group does not open its eyes?If you dare to come here and commit a crime, you really risk your life.
On the other hand, there is no particularly big oil and water in the Tianma Star District. The Imperial Tax Fleet does not dare to rob. The Imperial Caravan does have Gu's Trading Company, but it is difficult to capture the route, and the flights are not frequent. The Tianma Sector itself is not a particularly important transportation hub area. The income from piracy activities in the Tianma Star Region is not high.
However, in the past year or two, the situation has changed.
The main force of the Pegasus fleet is gone. Although the remaining ships can still form a crushing military advantage over ordinary pirates, space is so vast that pirates can find an asteroid belt to hide, or even leave the Pegasus sector. Go hide somewhere else, and no one will be able to find you unless you show up.
Furthermore, due to the nine-star connection within the alliance, a large number of fixed flights began to travel very frequently, and most of them were single ships running directly in the sea of stars, and they would be finished if they were targeted by pirate ships.
The pirates had considerable expected benefits.
Of course, the pirates still have no way to fight against the remaining forces of the Pegasus fleet. When they encounter a frigate, those shabby pirate ships cannot withstand it. However, the high profits have made those pirates dare to take risks.
In the past year, there have been many pirate robberies. Three alliance ships were robbed, resulting in very heavy losses.
The alliance has undoubtedly taken severe countermeasures in this regard.
Du Shiliang, the current acting commander of the Tianma Fleet, has issued a public apology to the public and assured that the Tianma Fleet will work hard to combat pirates and ensure the safety and smoothness of interstellar flights.
At the same time, the Alliance's Ministry of Public Transport also urgently established a special team to announce the establishment of the Alliance Navy.
Of course, the word navy was not used in the public official announcement. This is what the citizens of the alliance thought. Publicly speaking, it is an alliance escort fleet.
The shipyards of Wing Star and Angry Owl Star have also received orders from the Alliance for warship construction. It is said that some armed escort ships modified by travelers and even several Blackfish-class fast patrol ships have been put into use.
Three months ago, the Alliance completed a heavy blow to a pirate group called Red Eyes. Several alliance quick-response patrol ships bit the pirates' butts and fought for several days. They chased them without letting go without being reckless and rushed forward desperately. Finally, they dragged a destroyer of the Pegasus fleet and several frigates to the rescue. The fleet arrived, destroyed some enemies, and captured three patrol ship-level pirate ships through gang-hopping tactics.
That was a great victory. I didn’t hear any news about pirates in the next three months. I didn’t expect that there are still pirates now.
Shang Yanwen was a little nervous, but overall he was pretty calm.
He believes in the ability of the coalition government. Since it has not suspended regular flights, it has not suspended flights on every flight.Arrange an escort, then the problem shouldn't be too serious.
This is indeed the case. Two hours later, a new announcement was issued, saying that the pirate problem had been solved and the ship was about to enter the astral tunnel, allowing all passengers to Do not move around in the cabin, the execution time in the astral tunnel will last for thirteen hours.
For Shang Yanwen, these thirteen hours did not feel very special. He just felt that the hull of the ship was shaking for about a few minutes. They should have entered the astral tunnel.
It is said that if you look out from the ship at this time, you should be able to see a large, colorful, bizarre and brilliant scene. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything from the cabin he was in.
At the same time, it is also said that even if the astral force field is turned on, some unknown dangers may still occur in the ship when traveling through the astral tunnel, but at least he did not encounter it this time.
To him, these thirteen hours were not much different from the other thirteen hours. It was not until the ship shook for another ten minutes that he heard the announcement in his ears. You know, they have escaped from the astral tunnel and returned to the real universe.
Then, after sailing for a little more than three days, the starship stopped moving.
The announcement said that they had arrived at the Koroga Star Port.
Everyone packed up their things and left the hatch. In the outer passage, they lined up in an orderly manner according to the staff's instructions and headed to the nearest exit, preparing to leave the ship.
Flight b1733 was a flying dolphin, and it carried nearly 90,000 passengers on this voyage. With so many people, leaving the ship with their belongings is a hassle.
However, when designing ships, including the design of star ports, there are special responses to this. Shang Yanwen lined up and left the ship after an hour and a half.
While walking on the covered bridge, he could see through the glass that on the side of b1733 near the star port, there were twenty large and small exits, scattered up and down, left and right, connected to the Above the starport. People and cargo are communicating through these movable corridor bridges in space.
Only here, through the glass window of the covered bridge, can one glimpse part of the ship they were riding on, as well as the even larger body of the star port.
The Flying Dolphin is only a small transport ship. However, it can carry 90,000 people in its belly and carry a large amount of cargo and daily necessities, so it should be a giant.
It is like a small town standing in space.
But despite this, it is too small compared to the star port.
Koluojia’s star port is not as large as Wing Star, but it can still rank second in the entire Pegasus star region.
After entering the star port, we took the railcar in the star port and went to a space elevator connection. We waited in line and got off the star port.
LeaveAfter Kaixing Port reaches the ground, this is the capital and hive of Koluojia, named Yancheng.
After transferring to another train, we arrived at the northern station of Mingyan City. After waiting for another half day, we got a train bound for Promise City.
Promise City is not too far from Mingyan City, compared to the hive city on the other side of the planet.
But even so, the train running through the wilderness at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour still took him seven hours to reach Promise City.
After getting off the bus at Promise City Station, he transferred to another vehicle. After wandering around the hive for six hours, he finally arrived at his destination, the Green Bee in the Lower Hive Area of Promise City. neighborhood.
This journey, even with Shang Yanwen’s always calm mentality, was really exhausting both physically and mentally.
Interstellar navigation is really troublesome. The distance is too far, even with the blessing of various technologies that humans have, it is too troublesome for an ordinary person.
He couldn’t even remember how many times he changed trains and buses, and how much time he spent.
But no matter what, he is back.
After he got out of the car, he looked around and saw some familiar scenes, but most of them were things he had never seen before.
The street scene has changed a lot. All the dirty and blocked alleys have been cleared away; the strange smell of metal smelting, various exhaust gases, and various domestic garbage on the street is still slightly smelly. A little, but much lighter than he remembered.
Some of the surrounding buildings are still the same, but most of them are no longer what they used to be.
There are many people walking around on the street and many vehicles driving. Unlike in the past, no one would come out and walk around if nothing happened.
Although the clothes everyone is wearing are not gorgeous, they are at least neat; the expressions on their faces are smiling and assertive
Is this still my hometown?
