279 Nebula
Ling Qi opened the task system, and a large number of first-level tasks were presented on the light screen in the form of a list. These missions are the entire stargate-wide and not limited to this branch, so there are a lot of them. And with Ling Qi's level, he can only see level 1 and unlimited tasks.
"Screening the S09 stargate requires the replacement of some functional modules, which involves a lot of tasks and is the closest...... It's just that the rate of return is a little lower, only 800 contribution points plus 80 star coins! Ling Qi looked at the previous task, and decided to move on next. You can't stop doing it just because the pay is low.
"It's a pity that you can't take on multiple tasks at the same time, which causes a waste of time to go back and forth!"
After a long pause, the Sky Survey set sail again and continued its way to the branch. From here, after leaving the Baishi Ruins, you still need to cut diagonally into a section of the starry sky of the Chi Zhi Kingdom, and it will take about a day and a half to reach the branch at speed.
In the Kingdom of Chi Zhi, there is a small celestial attraction called the Red Nebula. It is a miniature nebula, and its composition, like that of a nebula, is formed by the accumulation of cosmic dust and gaseous matter, but it is less than one percent of the size of its neighboring star systems, and it is far from the size of a star.
Absorbing a variety of rays and visible light from other stars, this miniature nebula takes on a splendid appearance and becomes a celestial wonder in this star field, attracting many interstellar tour groups.
The Sky Survey traveled through the endless void with the help of a stargate, appearing in a star system in the kingdom of Chichen.
In the bridge, Ling Qi was watching the Chi Xuan Nebula through the images on the Internet.
"It's no wonder that people like to come up close and visit, the Nebula under the holographic projection only has its shape, and it can't make people feel the shock of being there!" Ling Qi looked at it for a while, and considering that the time limit for replacing the module was relatively sufficient, he decided to go and see the nebula up close first.
When he announced the plan, the women cheered. Opening the energy shield and watching the nebula up close on the deck was something they had been longing for for a long time.
"We can have a party on the deck, there are not many opportunities like this, and we can remember it for a lifetime~!" Some of the female soldiers were excitedly discussing.
There is also a female soldier who is addicted to making money: "I think there will definitely be no shortage of spaceships to visit, and you can open the deck and commercial area of the cruise ship near the Nebula, or simply open the guest rooms and turn them into a fixed local hotel, and hold regular parties!" ”
"Then it's better to operate directly like in the Jingyue Empire before, and start a group in the surrounding star system. Fast speed and high grade is our advantage, others operate once a day, we go once a day! ”
Zhuo Yun heard such a discussion and said with a smile: "Don't be delusional, if you really want to do this, you will definitely be hit by various forces in the local tourism industry." Moreover, you Seventh Brother can't stay in one place for a long time! ”
In anticipation, the Sky Survey crossed another star system and passed through a stargate at the very edge.
There's also a bazaar here, like the last station in the remote mountains, small in scale, but with a lot of interstellar cruise ships and private spaceships. They don't have to be traveling to and from Nebula attractions, but they may also be traveling to and from the habitable or resource stars around this star gate.
Ling Qi didn't go to the bazaar, and went directly to the depths of the starry sky where the Red Nebula was located.
The distances between galaxies are often distant and ethereal. Nothingness is relative to these infinite spaces, in fact, there are countless dark asteroid belts, wandering planets, meteorites, ice floes, etc., among which there are hidden all kinds of starry sky monsters and even the Zerg that change color, which is a truly dangerous "wild area". It is the existence of these "wild zones" that absorb and consume the visible light of many stars.
The Nebula is on the edge of this wild region, near a star system. If you compare a wild area to the sea, it is an offshore area.
If its location is deep in the wilderness, humans may not dare to develop a tourism business to run to visit. Not to mention the danger of the environment, just the distance calculated in light years is unrealistic, even if you fly a curvature engine spaceship to visit.
Therefore, according to Ling Qi's cognition, except for the stargate as a force taking the lead, and unremittingly organizing all the top forces from generation to generation to jointly march into the depths of the starry sky, building stargates around the stars to expand the starry sky territory for mankind, basically no force will take the initiative to enter and pass through the wild area. Even if other forces want to find and develop new resource stars, they will wait for the star gate to be built.
Speaking of which, it is not difficult to understand how terrifying the mastery of resources by these top forces of the Star Gate is. After the Star Gate was built, the first to obtain the convenience of the development of the new area was undoubtedly these top forces themselves. In the same way, in the process of this kind of development and exploration, the cost of all aspects is beyond people's imagination.
"Stargate is the pioneer of human beings in the expansion of the universe, and it is also the biggest beneficiary!" This was something that Ling Qi had learned after studying the internal information of the Star Gate.
After learning these materials, he once felt a sense of honor, and planned to respond to the call of the stargate and join the team that traveled through the wild area to explore the new star field on the edge of human civilization. Fortunately, he came to his senses in time, at least he didn't have that strength at the moment.
"I maintain the Star Gate in the rear, and I also contribute to human civilization!" He was so convinced that he was trying to suppress that impulse......
The Sky Survey advanced at its own super-high speed for more than an hour, gradually exceeding the normal range of human activity and interstellar resource development in this star system, and began to move away from the civilized zone.
When I got here, I could already see the Nebula under the telescope imaging, but it was not close, and there was still no sense of immersion.
This nebula is so small that it can be seen from many star systems in the universe when replaced by a large nebula.
After another hour of advancement, Ling Qi slowed down as he saw another cruise ship moving in the same direction in front of him. This was the first group of fellow believers they met after passing through the Star Gate.
As the distance approached, the cruise ship in front also spotted the Sky Survey in the rear, shocked by its enormity. The size of this cruise ship is already considered a mainstream in the local tourism industry, but it is less than one-sixth the size of the Sky Survey.
After Ling Qi caught up with the other party, he reduced his speed to one and walked forward side by side. At this time, they saw another spacecraft returning more than 200,000 kilometers in front of them.
And here is already close to the nebula region, even with the naked eye, the existence of the nebula can be seen through special space glass.
Ling Qi opened the energy shield and gravity system on the foredeck of the tenth floor, and after the air pressure was instilled, he informed everyone that they could go up and have a sneak peek. He himself was also enthusiastic with Xiao Rou, leading the twins to appear on the deck first.
As for Ao Ying, Da Xingyun had seen it a few times, and she was cultivating at a deep level, so Ling Qi didn't call her.
"Beautiful!"
This is Ling Qi's most intuitive feeling.
Through the invisible energy shield on the deck, it seems to stand directly in the starry sky, without the obstruction of vision, the nebula is very three-dimensional against the backdrop of countless stars, and the background is deep and vast.
There were constant exclamations on the deck, and the female soldiers were fascinated by it, especially as they continued to approach the nebula.
From their point of view, the nebula is in the shape of a huge irregular tree, like a giant standing between the heavens and the earth. It absorbs cosmic rays and other visible light, and emits brilliant colors, some parts are bright red like blood, some are blue like the sea, and some are warm like jade, or like dark clouds.
Looking at the mountains and running dead horses, this feeling is infinitely magnified in the universe. Especially after reducing the speed to the regular speed and advancing for another three hours, they felt a little closer.
By this time, the novelty had long since passed, and they no longer lingered on the deck. They decided to go back and rest, and wait until they were completely close to have a good view.
That's a day. The Sky Survey was close to the edge of the nebula a million kilometers away, and was already quite under the cover of the nebula.
There are no stars inside this nebula, and the gravitational pull and temperature are much less than those of the large nebula, so the danger is much lower. The coordinates of the starry sky where the Sky Survey arrived were regarded as the frontier positions for close visits, and hundreds of various spaceships were moored, including more than 30 cruise ships.
Of course, compared to the huge nebula, the space around it is vast, and there may be many spaceships in other directions close to see it. Ling Qi followed the local cruise ship to this concentration place.
After stationing the cruise ship, Ling Qi opened the top deck and felt the beautiful scenery at his fingertips with everyone. Seeing a group of beautiful figures excitedly filming and broadcasting live to family and friends, squeaking and laughing, Ling Qi inexplicably felt that this seemed to bring more satisfaction than watching it himself.
