Chapter 070: Interstellar Site
Soto was already penniless, so he waited outside the apartment before disembarking, and when he came out, he quickly introduced him to the interstellar site, and was willing to follow his arrangement, he didn't want to live in the slums. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The interstellar site was originally a black dwarf galaxy, the sun of the galaxy was depleted early because of its small mass, and it lost its ability to emit light, more like a larger planet, after transformation, it became a huge star castle, and the remaining energy was extracted to provide lighting and heating for the star castle and the surrounding planets, and the star castle was also named Hive One.
There are five asteroids around Hive 1, and the volume is also smaller, except for Planet 2, the other four are more like satellites, and the 345 satellite is transformed as a reception dock for the interstellar site, No. 3 receives passenger ships from all over the world, No. 4 receives cargo ships, and No. 5 is the military base of Hive 1, which is also used to sell large ships to the outside world.
Planet One is so small that it is only used as a transit station.
Planet Two has been transformed into an idyllic planet suitable for human habitation, but the settlement fee here is very expensive, it belongs to the rich area of the site, but it has everything you want, and it is absolutely safe, many rich people flock to it, and have a private estate as a sign of success.
The space above the No. 3 reception star is encased in a crystal mold to prevent air loss, insulated and used as a support for lighting, and the passenger ship must enter and exit through a special passageway.
Because the mass of the planet is small, the gravity is also very small, but the anti-gravity force is widely used, people can walk and breathe on the surface of the host star like other habitable planets, and even the lighting in the outer layer is gradually extinguished at regular intervals, and the day and night are rotated.
There is very little vegetation on the reception star, most of which are densely packed houses to house more and more people, and the reception star has also set aside a free area to house those who can't afford to pay the room fee.
The free area, also known as the slum area, is a number of honeycomb-shaped buildings connected together, each with 20 floors, 10 floors above ground and 10 floors underground, and as the number of people increases, the hive buildings will continue to expand.
In the slums, you can eat food from low-end food ordering machines for free and use free clothing, but there are no single rooms, no internet, no medical care, and you can't even take a bath.
The slums are strictly disciplined, everyone is allowed to move around the designated area, they are not allowed to occupy the passages, they are not allowed to make loud noises, they are not allowed to attack others, they are not allowed to even have physical contact with each other, even if they are husband and wife, otherwise they will be punished.
There are three types of punishment.
One is that the intelligent people who patrol back and forth in the passage have small pain machines, which will carry out different degrees of pain blows depending on the situation, although they are not fatal, but people who have enjoyed the services of pain machines almost dare to make the same mistakes again.
The second is that there are some confinement positions in each area, and the punished people will be confined there for a period of time, and generally those who receive this punishment will be forced to clean and change their clothes in addition to hunger and thirst, and some will die of thirst and starvation.
The third is to be taken away directly, no one knows the fate after being taken away, but they can guess that this person will disappear completely.
In addition to the intelligent people who patrol, the slums are also densely monitored, and if a person is sick, he will be taken to a fixed quarantine area, and if he can resist the luck of going there, the dead body will be taken away.
There are no young children in the slums, and young children are the private property of the site, and they are taken to other places for nurturing and indoctrination.
The only way out in the slums is to be lucky enough to be selected by the people who come here to recruit workers, as long as they make money, the site can spend anything.
In the past, the subhumans from Vogo had to live in the slums temporarily until they signed a formal employment contract, but this time Soto could not hand them over to the labor company, he has already been fired.
Soto wanted to get in touch with the company while on the passenger ship, but there was only one notice of dismissal from the company in his private space, and there was no reason for the dismissal, so Soto could only suspect that his affairs had been known by the empire and held the company accountable.
Wuchang was a little ridiculous, Soto was cheated and cornered, he thought about it, this is okay, he is worried about lack of manpower, and Soto can help him do something, and even have a legitimate identity available.
"If you listen to my arrangement, I will not treat you badly. Wu Chang said: "You are familiar with the site, arrange these people first, and then be my consultant." ”
Soto was embarrassed and said, "However, I don't want to be involved in the war of the Vogos. ”
"Don't worry, you will stay on the site all the time, you don't have to go anywhere, and when the war on Fergo is over, I will try to arrange it for you. Wu Chang said: "I will pay for all your expenses at the site." ”
Soto smiled bitterly, it was actually his own money that was spent, but he had no other choice, it was safe at the site, he had nowhere to go when he left the site, and he could be caught at any time to the military tribunal of the Empire, and the result could be imagined.
Wu Chang was also very happy, and someone helped him arrange the affairs of the site, which saved him from worrying.
In order to save the war funds of Fogo Star, of course, these Fogo Star sub-human race still live in the free area according to the previous precedent, as for himself and Shilan, including the little girl of the Linghu Clan, Ah Li, they have to live in the paid area, and they don't have to be too demanding, at least they must have a separate space, and they must have a network, these expenses can be done without the money of the Fogo people, and Alec Green originally had 170,000 credits in his account, which is private money without a long time.
Wu Chang did not take the VIP passage, but went to the lower deck of the passenger ship with Soto.
His appearance had changed, but Soto didn't notice anything unusual, after all, he wasn't impressed by Muchang and didn't recognize the wrong person.
Shilan is not uncomfortable with her appearance, she will never admit what she has become, and she still has a pair of soul eyes.
Ah Li was a little puzzled: "Big brother, why have you changed?"
"I'll be like this in the future, look at it, don't admit it. Wu Chang smiled, but did not explain.
In order to maintain Kara's injuries, she has been dormant, and Wu Chang asked, "How do you move her to the on-site infirmary?"
Soto said: "After contacting, there is a special car at the site. ”
Wu Chang raised his head and said loudly, "Maren, please arrange for a stop to pick up Kara." ”
"I've contacted the Site Medical Center. Mullen's voice rang out.
Wu Changyang raised his hand: "Thank you." ”
He turned back to Ah Li and said, "After getting off the boat, let your people listen to Soto's arrangement." ”
Ah Li looked at Soto, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't ask, just nodded.
"Let's go, get off the boat. Seeing Ah Li's reluctant look at Kara, Wu Chang said, "You don't have to worry about Kara, let's just go to the site medical center to find her after we get off the ship." ”
The exit passage on the lower level was on the edge of the middle patio, and it had been opened, and a few people followed, and Barry beckoned the other Fergos to step down from the starliner one after another.
The one who came to pick up Kara was the medical hovercar, and the sleeping Cara was levitated, put into the hover, and transported out.
In the control room of the passenger ship, the intelligent housekeeper Marlena said: "They are all gone, should we complain to the site?"
Ma Lun immediately shook his head: "That Guan Wuchang's background is too deep, we can't afford to provoke it, so don't worry about it, fortunately I saved half of my savings into your account, otherwise I really don't know what to do, with this money, we can continue to live happily." ”
"It's still husband, you're smart. Marlena smiled.
The passenger ship is precisely connected to the Star Pier, and there is a spacious platform outside the exit.
The platform is long, and other passenger ships can be seen moored in the distance.
On each side of the dock stood a heavily armed mech guard, standing like a sculpture, but the hideous shape was intimidating.
There are some hovercars on the platform, which are dedicated to picking up guests to their respective destinations, and there are virtual images on the platform that introduce each area, as well as the operation screen that clicks on the consumption, and the mecha guards are not asked, and they will not pay attention to it at all.
Ah Li looked east and west, her eyes were full of surprise, and the situation at the site had a huge visual impact on her.
At this point, she is exactly what a little country girl looks like when she enters a bustling metropolis.
"You watch her, don't let her run around. ”
Wu Chang is also like a parent, instructing Shilan.
Shilan was a little amused, holding Ah Li's hand, she had been to the site before, and she didn't feel surprised.
Mucho continued to listen to Soto explain the site to him.
You can't stay on the platform for a long time, you have to leave within the specified time, and if you don't know where to go, you'll be forced to go to the free area.
The free zone is not a prison, you can leave at any time if you want to, but you are not allowed to stay outside of the free zone, and you need to pay to have residency in other places.
The No. 3 reception star is the most in the civilian area, and the lowest cost is the row of small single rooms, and one credit coin can have a thirty-day residency.
There is a simple ordering machine in the single room, the bathroom is also complete, but the space is small, the most important thing is that there is a network, you can work and trade online, of course, you can also play virtual games, but the money for normal network work is only enough to pay for the room, if you want to save money, you have to work hard, there is almost no free time.
In addition to the free area and the civilian area, there is also a small number of VIP areas, of course, the VIP area is not as good as the rich area of the second star, but there are also various grades of suites, as well as a variety of consumer services, the cost is much higher than the civilian area, one credit coin a day.
It's a daunting price for ordinary people, especially for long-term residents, but Wu Chang chose the VIP area with almost no hesitation, he couldn't stay at the site for too long and didn't care about this little money.
On top of that, the VIP area, like the VIP rooms on passenger ships, is a private space in the suite and is not monitored, while the private rooms in the civilian area are monitored by the site.
Wu Chang chose the VIP area, and remembered that the bearded Roland who Shilan said was messing around in the room, it should be in the VIP area, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, but as long as Shilan's soul did not leave the body, thinking that even if Roland was a fifth-level master, he should not be able to see that part of Shilan's soul was a ghost.
asked Soto to choose a small private room and let him arrange the affairs of the Fergos, Soto did not dare to object, and took Barry and others to the hovering bus in the free area.
For the convenience of cultivation, Wu Chang deliberately chose a suite with a training room, two credits a day, and he didn't care, and directly prepaid the room fee for ten years, including Soto's fee, so that the spies of the empire could be confused, although it was impossible for the site to leak the information of the guests, but it had to be guarded against.
"Let's go. "Wu Chang took Shilan and Ah Li to the dinghy to the VIP area.
