There are a large number of fixed wormholes in the universe, connecting galaxies or different regions within galaxies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the vigorous development of the universe that began as early as the first year of SC, humans discovered dozens of fixed wormholes, but only four were retained in the end.

These four fixed wormholes are Taimei WH, Taiya WH, Taiou WH, and Taifei WH, which lead to the four extragalactic galaxies.

In addition to the four Whs, the closest fixed wormhole to the galaxy is located between two cantilever arms of an extragalactic galaxy, nearly 2,000 light-years away from the nearest stellar field. Even if it is to sail with the modified "Tempest", it will take more than a year, and in an era when the radius of human activity is still limited to 100 light years, there is no development value at all.

In addition, more than half of the wormholes lead to the dark matter region between galaxies, and the nearest galaxy is often millions of light-years away, which is not at all a distance that human technology can traverse.

The wormholes leading to the dark matter region are not bad, and there are still forty percent of the fixed wormholes that have no return. Whether it was an early manned spacecraft or a later unmanned probe, there was no news after the past. According to astronomers' analysis, there should be red giants, supernovae or white dwarfs, black holes near the exit of these fixed wormholes, and other forbidden areas for life, and human spacecraft will be destroyed or captured by these celestial bodies as soon as they jump out.

These wormholes have been marked by various countries as dangerous no-sail areas.

So more than 100 years later, the area of human activity is still limited to the five major galaxies, and the fixed wormholes used for navigation are those four.

Among these four fixed wormholes, Taiya WH and Taifei WH Fengyu are already very familiar, and they don't know how many times they have traveled over the years, and the frequency of passage is no less than that of space sailors who run ships on these routes all year round.

As for the two items of Taiou WH and Taimei WH, which lead to the new European Union and UAC respectively, there is basically no chance for a soldier like Fengyu to set foot in them. This time, it was because of the GMP project for the New American galaxy that NO, I had the opportunity to take a trip here.

Compared with the slightly depressed atmosphere of Taiya WH and the prosperous to congestion Taifei WH, Taimei WH is more pure. While waiting for customs clearance, Fengyu could see that most of the caravans were UAC-flagged, followed by ships with the flag of the Earth Federation, a permanently neutral country, and the ships that were at war with the UAC, New Asia and the New European Union, were basically invisible.

Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the so-called flag is only a concept of the ship's registered place, and does not represent the actual ownership at all. As early as the end of the old era, in addition to the military industrial enterprises limited by national security, the transnationalization and internationalization of large consortia has become a trend. In particular, those big conglomerates that have been inherited from the old era cannot belong to any country of this era at all.

If you dig deeper, you can find the capital of the New Asia or the New EU consortium behind the ships with UAC flags. The UAC flag is only to avoid unnecessary troubles, such as boycotts and backlashes from civil extremists. At the same time, it is also to simplify the customs clearance procedures, because every ship registered in the UAC will have a detailed record at the Taimei WH Border Inspection Center, and even contain a complete logbook.

With this information, border inspection personnel can refer to the past credit ratings of these ships when clearing customs, and appropriately give preferential treatment for simplifying customs clearance procedures or even exempting them from inspection and clearing customs in advance.

UAC rates all vessels with a star rating ranging from one to five stars. Newly registered ships start with a two-star rating, with a good record progressing up to the stars, a bad record downgrading one star, and a foreign vessel one star. Ships below one star will be denied entry, while five-star ships will be exempted from inspection and will be cleared directly.

Generally, it is impossible for a small company's ship to be upgraded to a five-star ship, and an important condition for a five-star ship is the registered capital review of the ship ownership company, which is to put it bluntly, the privilege level prepared for those large consortia.

Although this star system is also greasy, it is generally reasonable, which greatly improves the efficiency of border inspection and customs clearance of Taimei WH, and the passage speed is a full 20% faster than that of Taifei WH.

Unfortunately, this kind of system is impossible to implement in the Taifei WH, as a common channel for the three countries, it is difficult for countries to trust the credit ratings assessed by other countries. For example, between the new EU and the UAC, who can rest assured that the other's five-star inspection-free ships are not carrying contraband in transit. As a result, only those multinational consortia that can eat well in all countries have privileges.

Most of the civilian spacecraft that have been walking in Taimei WH all year round have obtained a credit rating of three to four stars, and five stars belong only to those big conglomerates. And the merchant group that the "Storm" joined belonged to a temporary group, so naturally it was impossible to have a ship with a five-star credit, the highest being the two four-star ships owned by the caravan leader, and the rest of the ships were only three-star. As a result, the entire caravan is subject to a simplified level of inspection.

As an escort warship, the "Tempest" does not have a merchant ship credit rating, and only needs to conduct a simple inspection, mainly to see if there is any excessive force. This destroyer with three super models must be over-forced, but with Monica in charge, the ordinary level of border inspection was directly fooled by her "illusion".

As originally planned, the border inspectors who boarded the ship only counted the number of mobile suits, and did not use special measuring equipment to measure the height and other parameters of the three super models.

After half a day of waiting, the caravan was quickly cleared and allowed to enter the New American System. After this pass, the "Tempest" entered the second stage of its trip relatively smoothly.

The caravan will temporarily split up at the WA1 shipping center on the side of the New American galaxy in Taimei, where 20 merchant ships will unload and restock their cargo to different destinations before reuniting here for three months to embark on their return journey.

For Tempest, these three months can be used to find NO's GMP project laboratory and take the necessary action as appropriate. Even in the unlikely event that there was an accident that ran out of time, because he had previously lied about the failure of the maintenance compartment, it could be used as an excuse to change to a warship that also belonged to Awa-Ker's security company to continue the escort contract, and the caravan leader would not be able to hold the "Tempest" responsible.

Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, Li Dai Tao stiff, this is the classic tactical thinking of the oriental civilization in ancient times. Countless caravans, merchant ships and escort warships pass through every day, and as long as the "Storm" is not exposed in the operation later, no one will suspect the security company.

WA1 is only 1.7 light-years away from Taimei WH, making it the closest star field near the four fixed wormholes. According to astronomers, millions of years later, this star field will be swallowed up as it passes through the Taimei Wh wormhole. However, for the insignificant history of mankind, this point in time is negligible.

In order to improve the efficiency of traffic, Taimei WH bilateral implementation is a joint pre-border inspection. The so-called pre-border inspection means that the border inspection checkpoint is set up in the territory of the other party, and entry is allowed only after the inspection is completed. The joint border inspection is that the two countries will combine the two entry and exit inspections into one, further improving efficiency.

If it is a normal border inspection, it is the inspection of each side. First, the Earth Federation will conduct exit border control on the galactic side to ensure that no prohibited strategic materials are secretly transported out of the country. However, wait for ships to enter the new American system through wormholes before carrying out border control, and repatriate unqualified or unadmitted ships.

It is very likely that the repatriated ship will face another entry check after returning to the galaxy, so as not to use the means of fake repatriation to secretly make small moves to allow the ship to carry certain goods or people that are prohibited from entering the country.

Among the four existing fixed wormholes, only Taimei WH and Taiou WH have implemented this joint pre-border inspection. The other two galaxies are in a state of war, and the passage ships are mixed, so the border control measures are relatively strict.

This was the third fixed wormhole that Feng Yu had passed through, and on both sides of these three wormholes, he had seen different styles of shipping centers in various countries.

TF1 of the Earth Federation is the busiest shipping center of mankind, and its ship throughput cannot even be compared to the heliosphere where the Earth is located.

The WT field in the New Asian Galaxy is the farthest shipping center from the wormhole, and it is close to 10 light-years away from the wormhole entrance. This is also because the New Asian Republic has lost control of the Taiya WH wormhole, and can only locate its own galaxy shipping center so far away.

On the other hand, the W1 satellite field under the control of the UAC, although it is only 2.3 light-years away from Taiya WH, is used as an important military and strategic location, and civilian spacecraft are not allowed to stay.

Then the WG1 shipping center, which also belongs to the UAC, is much better, taking on the transportation hub of the UAC occupation zone of the new African galaxy, although there is also a first-line fleet stationed, but the commercial atmosphere is very strong.

Finally, there is this WA1, known as the gateway to the New American galaxy, which is also a dual orbit of commercial and military. Its shipping center and commercial center, Space City, is so large that it is almost comparable to TF1, except that the throughput of ships is not as good as that of TF1.

And not far from the main channel, the prototype ship of the new America-class aircraft carrier "New America" is moored outside the airport of a military fortress, which is simply two fortresses that echo each other. Any fleet attempting to invade the New American Galaxy from Taimei WH will have to face these two powerful obstacles.

After the Tempest followed the caravan to WA1, it immediately made a simple resupply. And Monica, as Fengyu's exclusive intelligence officer, also went to the WA1 business center as soon as possible to contact Awa-Ker's intelligence station here. A special liaison officer had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for the Tempest's arrival to proceed with the next move.

Two months earlier, when the Tempest was still slowly sailing with the caravan towards Taimei, Captain Morgan had returned to the New American Galaxy to personally preside over his last important operation before retirement, which was to investigate the location of NO's GMP project laboratory.

When this is over, he will remain in his native land in the New American Galaxy, and will no longer have to travel around the world. So this was the last chance for Fengyu and Captain Morgan to work together.

If he wants to see this old man again in the future, Feng Yu will have to make a special trip to the New American Galaxy to have a chance to meet.
