The Queen Isabella had just completed its jump registration at Temporary Jump Point 115, and almost at the same time, it received an official announcement from the jump point.

——Due to a series of factors such as site space and berths, in order to improve the efficiency of space warping and speed up the assistance of subsequent interstellar ships diverted from Yufeng Station to escape from subspace orbit and achieve safe jumping, Hop Point 115 will implement secondary diversion of ships diverted from the subspace orbit. All ships must leave the jump point within eight hours of the jump landing, and 115 can currently provide space jump services for these departing ships to other short-range jump points in the star field that are still connected, but they must report the destination jump point six hours in advance, that is, within two hours after the spacecraft landing, so that the path dispatch space can be arranged.

It was really only a second to wait in line for a whole day to be reincarnated, and Caterina received this notice from the bridge that was equivalent to an order, and jumped up on the spot and burst into foul language.

"This TM has to make us stranded here!"

This is not to blame the captain for blowing up hair, the spaceship that has just completed a space jump through the momentum change orbit has to be close to eight hours for normal equipment overhaul and maintenance. The so-called eight-hour time-limited jump means that you are not allowed to stay for a moment, and you have to get out of the way as soon as the equipment is overhauled, and its No. 115 is an intermediate teleportation springboard that throws the spacecraft into the depths of the secondary star field and runs aground.

As for the requirement of two hours to determine the jump target, it is even more clear, restricting the spacecraft to death in the secondary nebula of the copper kettle system!

Obviously, the spatial situation of the upper flight channel cannot improve in two hours, and even if it does, 115 an inner boundary jump point will not be able to reach the spatial warping necessary to directly enter the upper space channel, and it can only connect to other inner boundary jump points in the nebula. The only jump point in the entire Copper Kettle Nebula that can reach the standard warp of the secondary subspace is the Fish Peak jump point, and Queen Isabella has just diverted from the Fish Peak jump point, and it is obviously impossible to go back.

The spaceship left 115 Heng and couldn't keep floating in the void, this kind of behavior is a completely and completely illegal navigation in the secondary nebula densely populated by the planet, and it can be fined if it is a smuggling merchant ship, which is a shit luck that has not been in place for 10,000 years, and it is generally cleared on the spot as a pirate, and if you don't do it, maybe you are an invading army - nothing else, you went to the realm of sovereignty!

As long as you don't plan to fight, Luocao will become a soil chieftain, and the spaceship will have to go through the legal passage after all, choose an inner realm jump point as the sailing destination, and choose a planet near it to land, resupply supplies, and wait for the opportunity to return to the route, which is called stranding.

Stranding is one of the most disgusting situations for large ships, and although Caterina was mentally prepared when she accepted the diversion plan, she still had to jump to her feet and feel rough at the moment when the grounding actually came.

No money swear words poured out of the mouths of the red-haired female bandits, and the variety of uses was enough to participate in the cosmic vulgar slang contest, and the range of targets was even wider, from the number one leader of the waterway management committee to the ordinary people of the copper kettle nebula, all within the attack radius of the female captain. Under the anger, even Leos was not spared, and he was innocently scolded. The crime is a little trick who scratches his head and makes a pose, and he is actually a broom star like a peacock all day long!

The power of Caterina's scolding is comparable to that of a healing wave, Leos is really not good even if he is a professional under this swearing, so he got up and went to get his clothes: "I'll go out and take a look at the news in these two hours, 115 is still a jumping point, and now there are a lot of ships that have landed temporarily, maybe there will be news, and when I come back to the depths of the nebula, I will land on the planet, and it will be even more closed." After saying that, the soles of his feet were like the wind, and he immediately slipped away.

On this kind of issue, Gu Hanhan's reaction was half a beat slower, but now that he has Leos's example, of course, he had an epiphany, and he followed it and slipped away-

"I'll go and see it too. ”

2/3 of the two startled dewy mandarin ducks met outside the cabin, each with a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe, so they took each other very righteously, and went straight to the rest area with each other.

The rest area at Jump Point 115 was already overcrowded, and restaurants, teahouses, theaters, and everything imaginable was full, not to mention inserting two seats, even a pair of feet could not be inserted. Gu Hanhan was very worried about this, if he couldn't find any news and went back to the boat like this, he might touch the captain's head again at this time, and he didn't know how he would be scolded to enjoy it. Fortunately, Leos is a very capable person, and his experience in intelligence is ten times higher than that of an ignorant girl who has only watched TV series, so he immediately turned around, and took Gu Hanhan to avoid these noisy occasions on the main road in the rest area, turned into the alley behind, picked and chosen, and finally stopped at the door of a small shop hanging a spar logo.

"Energy trading house?"

Gu Hanhan was a little puzzled by the signboard of the store, looked at the remote alleyway with scattered pedestrians and the shop sign that did not have a unified authorization code of the Lanthanum Crystal Exporting Countries, and wondered: "Is the energy supply station at Jump Point 115 open here?"

"Of course not, it's a private energy trading house, it's unofficial. Leos scoffed, "You might understand it better by another name, in fact, it's a pawn shop, you can call it a pawnshop." ”

"Don't move!"

He looked at Gu Hanhan, and then suddenly reached out and took off the jewel hairpin she had pinned to her hair.

The hairpin is also one of the pieces of jewelry that Gu Hanhan brought out from the Acropolis, and she has not been able to carry ordinary gems in the past few months, and from the perspective of energy stones, it is still brand new, and it has not risen to the top of quality and grading at all, but Leos obviously thinks that the earthen buns used to blind the backcountry star field are enough. He unloaded the stone in twos and threes, returned the jewelry base to Gu Hanhan, and then said, "Let's go, now I'm the captain, what are you ......?"

He thought for a moment and said, "You're the captain's sister." ”

This pawnshop is really full of doors, and it is deserted when you enter the door, there is not even a doorman to guide the door, only a clerk who is lazily leaning on the back of the transparent window of the counter, and when he sees them come in, he greets weakly: "What can help you, guest?"

Leos flipped his palm and took out the stone that he had just unloaded, and said, "There is a power stone here, I hope to exchange it for ordinary energy." ”

The clerk glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Of course there is no problem." ”

He chased after the emerald glass-type energy stone rolling between Leos's fingers, revealing a cunning look that was old in the industry, and said in a slick tone: "Your energy stone may have 5 types of color, and the exchange ratio of 5 types of energy stones to standard energy is currently about 1:1100. Of course, our store needs to test this gemstone, and the actual category is subject to the test. Based on the tested energy density, we will determine the actual exchange rate for you. ”

Leos didn't care and threw the stone on the counter: "Okay, you go and test." ”

The clerk immediately picked up the power stone: "Guest, please come with me." ”

He opened a door next to the counter, as if opening another world, behind the door was bustling, it looked like a salon, and there were at least a dozen or twenty people gathered in the round parlor, these people were dressed differently, and there was no shortage of eccentrics, but they were talking to each other very warmly.

The clerk invited Leos and Gu Hanhan to come in and explained: "The test takes a little time, you can take a break here and have some afternoon tea - you can rest assured, it's all instrument testing, standardized operation, and you can monitor the whole process here - just for a while, and it will be ......good soon."

Leos happily offered to stay in the salon, so the clerk handed them over to the hostess of the salon and gave him a tracker to monitor the detection, and walked away.

The hostess of the salon, smoking a slender pipe, with a beautiful mole under her eye, entertained Leos with great warmth and hospitality, and asked, "Where do you come from, do you not know where you are going, and what kind of business do you do?"

Leos pretended to be uneasy, fiddling with the tracker left by the clerk in his hand, glancing at it from time to time, and replied, "We are a merchant ship from Orion's Spiral Arm to the Great Horn District to trade, and in the event of an accident, we are temporarily docked here, so we plan to exchange some more energy." ”

"Big Cape, it's a far away place," replied the hostess, "and you'd be right to get a little more energy on your way, for we have occasionally a merchant ship or two coming to Big Cape, and I've heard that the road is not easy to walk, and every now and then we have to run aground." ”

Leos then showed a sad look and said: "I'm not afraid of a short stranding, I'm afraid that if there is some big accident, the route will be closed, and if it can't be done for a long time, it will be over." ”

"Yes!" there was a businessman next to him, "Do our trade business, it is common to encounter stranded realignment, it's not worth anything, I'm afraid that the realignment can't be changed, and if you encounter bad luck, you will be trapped for ten or eight years, then you really don't have to go, and I'm afraid that the wives and children of the family business company are already someone else's......"

From time to time in the salon, customers complete transactions and quietly leave, and from time to time new customers are brought in, always maintaining the appearance of about 20 people. Perhaps because of the grounding, most of the guests who came were temporarily diverted and diverted, and most of the people who talked about were also grounded ships with route diversions. Gu Hanhan listened to the discussion of these guests, it seems that it is very common for ships to be rerouted to land in this starry sky, especially in recent years, accidents have occurred frequently, and the situation of large-scale interruption of the channel has become more and more intense. Fortunately, the route will not be closed for too long, as short as three to five days, as long as a month or two, and it will basically resume traffic, and it is rare to be trapped in the stranded ground for several years and cannot make the trip, which is a bit of good news in all the bad news.

"It's in disrepair!"

Among the guests, those who are well-informed believe that it is a remote place and no one in the court is to blame.

"If there is no one to help speak, the Waterway Management Committee will not be able to remember us for a hundred years!" they complained, "If we don't maintain it for many years, we just rely on the various star fields to knock and tinker by themselves, can this route be good?"

Suddenly, the clerk sent the test report of the energy stone and the pledge exchange contract, and Leos had already inquired about the information at this time, so he signed it directly without looking at the exchange ratio and pledge terms on the contract document, and said that the energy exchanged was sent directly to Queen Isabella, and Gu Hanhan said goodbye.

The hostess of the salon was reluctant to give up on such a guest as Leos, and when she saw them off, she introduced several prosperous places in the star field, and persuaded him to simply stay in the copper-pot nebula trade, and not to venture to a remote and difficult place like Big Horn again.

"The risk of long-distance trade is already getting bigger and bigger on this terrible route," she suggested sincerely, "the Copper Kettle Nebula is a very stable place, and these planets are very prosperous ports, and there is a lot of trade that can be done." If there are contractual restrictions, even re-exports are cheap. I have a few acquaintances with businessmen who are there, and if you need an introduction, just ask. ”
