Zhongzhou to College Star Kolsk is a popular route, and the so-called popularity generally means that the price is high, so Ron picked for a long time, and still could only surrender to these unscrupulous ship bosses, obediently spent almost half a month's salary, and booked the cheapest ferry ticket on the market, according to the little brother who sold the ticket, this is still Ron's luck, their boss is just about to increase the price! But no matter what kind of cabin, the whole voyage is the same, the whole journey is divided into three sections, it takes about 75 days, the spaceport in Zhongzhou to the wormhole station on the edge of the galaxy takes about 30 days to sail, and then the wormhole station turns over a total of 15 days, and then it takes about 25 days to the Dolan-3 galaxy wormhole station to the Kolsk airport, and this is the most convenient case, if the Kolsk side is not at the nearest point of the wormhole station because of the revolution, The time required may be a little more, according to the grapevine sent by the little brother, because the current route is too busy, and the boss of his own family has no time to replace the new ion propulsion engine, so the speed of the voyage from the spaceport to the wormhole station will be more ink, and when he heard this, Ron wanted to throw the ticket in his hand on the face of the cargo, just this virtue, the third-class ticket of your small broken ship still needs 2900 credits, why can't it be cheaper, You know, Ron is tired and tired for a salary of about 5,000 credits a month! However, considering that if he threw out the ticket, he might not even be able to get on the boat, so Ron could only endure it. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and then look at the 10,000 tickets of other cruise ships, Ron can only sigh, cheap but not good, and finally have to carefully collect his own tickets, for fear of losing this baby bump...

I got my reserved ticket at the airport, and by the way, I boarded the ship to check the cabin where I lived for the next period of time, and when I walked on the way home again, it was already the time when the lights were on at night. The lights are still there, but they are gone, the once bustling crowd, now only a few old couples occasionally walking by the roadside, more is empty, although it is still brightly lit, but it lacks the popularity and fireworks of human life; It's as if it's a relic. But the reason for all this is not because this population has fallen into twilight, but because of the vigorous vitality of human beings now, so that people who still have dreams go to the place of their dreams, so this place as a cradle is so deserted...

Seeing this, Ron couldn't help but sigh, "People's lives are on the road, and young people want to see more scenery, so they move forward and look forward to the future; The old man could no longer walk, wishing to taste the glory of his past, so they stopped and looked back; But until the moment of death, everyone has been on the road whether they want it or not, and they have never stopped. ”

"Children and grandchildren, generation after generation, how can life have an end, how can the road be finished, young man, you are one-sided, the old man's road, his own descendants continue," a strange voice suddenly came from the side, just like most of the permanent names of Zhongzhou, it was a gray-haired old man, "People, always talk about a leaf falling back to the roots, I don't want to die in the land of another planet, even if it is said that Zhongzhou is not good, but she is my home planet, she is the birthplace of mankind, no one can deny this." ”

"Yes, this is the root of humanity, no matter how far we go, our root is here." Ron nodded in agreement, unlike young people born in other colonies, Ron, who grew up in Midstate, has a deeper affection for Midstate.

The old man glanced at Ron in surprise, "There are not many young people who are willing to stay in Zhongzhou these days, most of them have run far away, young man, you are very special." ”

Ron blushed with embarrassment, almost gritting his teeth, and said, "If you are not at least 18 years old, you are not allowed to travel interstellar without a guardian!" Also, there are no credits..."

"No credits." The old man looked like this.

"It is said that if you are not at least 18 years old, you are not allowed to travel interstellar without a guardian! This is strictly forbidden by the Confederate Ordinance for the Protection of Minors, what can I do! Ron argued, "It's not that there is no credit!" ”

"Hahaha~~ I know, I know, is a penny a hero~" The old man obviously didn't believe it, but he still continued with Ron's words.

In the night, the old man who opened the conversation box pulled Ron to talk a lot, from the short of the family, to the politics of the Confederacy, from the development of mankind, to the sudden appearance of the celestial race, from the internal entanglements of the Confederacy, to the escalating territorial disputes with alien forces on the human border, and many, many more... Time has brought him wrinkles, but also brought him the precipitation of knowledge, just listening to the sidelines, Ron also felt that he had benefited a lot.

And it can be seen that the old man used to work in the government department, and some not very critical secrets can be said to be the head, and Ron was stunned when he heard it, and finally if it wasn't for the old man's old age and body that he couldn't bear it, he left unsatisfied. With the expansion of human beings, there is also the loneliness of everyone, although the real-time communication technology across the galaxy has been very mature, but these cannot make up for the emptiness that cannot communicate face-to-face... and the elderly are the most likely to feel empty, especially in the interstellar era.

Looking at the old man's distant back, Ron had to sigh for the old man that he was born at an inopportune time, watching the curtain of the great era open little by little, he wanted to do something with great ambition but found that he had missed the most important time, and he had the heart to show his strength but found that his body could not even do the steps on the stage, so he could only sit in the audience and laugh and cry. Combined with what the old man said before, Ron does feel that the current development of human science and technology is a bit deformed, more military and less important than people's livelihood. As the old man said before, the current human society is very much like the original ccp (big brother), it is simply a lame giant, with the help of the technology of the celestial people to ascend to the sky in one step, and the human beings who colonized the universe, although they are still immersed in the joy of the early stage of the great development, they have not noticed that the livelihood technology supporting the interstellar colonization has been opened up by military science and technology, but this does not mean that these problems do not exist, but are only covered by temporary prosperity.

"Heh~" Ron calmed down his heart that was a little heavy by the old man, and suddenly found that these were none of his business, "What is the point of the meat eater?" Why do you want to do so much, it's important to go back and get ready, it's going to be tomorrow afternoon, alas, my things haven't been packed yet! I knew I would have brought some luggage to the ship today. Careless! After looking at his watch, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening, and Ron hurriedly rushed home to prepare for the long journey.

"Clothes, toiletries, bedding, and souvenirs, forget it, the souvenirs will be left at home, what else, what else?" Ron looked at the pile of suitcases in front of him, grabbed his hair in distress, and wondered if he had missed something, and it took him a long time to remember, as if he had forgotten to say hello and goodbye to the neighbors near him, threw down the sundries in his hand, and hurriedly began to write farewell letters, and after setting up more than a dozen emails to be sent regularly tomorrow, Ron who was sitting on the bare bed board finally breathed a sigh of relief, and could take a good rest, and habitually lay down in the position of the previous pillow, "Oops~~" The head slammed into the alloy bed board, and indeed the bedding had already been stored in the storage compartment, "Unfortunately~~" Ron let out a lament. After another rush of scrambling, I finally re-made my bed, set myself an alarm clock for the early hours of the morning, and finally could take a little rest.

In order not to disturb the neighbors on the left, Ron chose to leave quietly in the early hours of the morning, dragging large bags and small bags in the early morning uninhabited street slowly He is like a greedy stupid thief, several times almost stopped by the intelligent police patrolling at night to check his identity, if it weren't for the surveillance video called up by their internal network is enough to restore Ron's path and prove his innocence, it is estimated that the dead-eyed intelligent police will definitely invite Ron to the police station for tea. But it's not without its benefits to meet them...

At least now Ron doesn't have to carry so many packages by himself, and there is a smart police officer behind him, and most of the packages are hung on his body by Ron, after all, serving the people is the first criterion of the smart police, and this smart policeman who doesn't know whether he is lucky or unlucky has become a free strong laborer, and he has been accompanying Ron to the nearest orbital ejection chamber to end this voluntary labor.

Each human colony has a different means of connecting the spaceport and the ground, in the case of Zhongzhou, because the population density here is small, the final use of two-way orbital catapult device for transportation, this means is a small volume, but the speed is fast; Unlike the space elevators used in some places, they have a large capacity but are super ink, and the maintenance cost is also high. There are other means in addition to this, which all depend on the local conditions, such as some border sectors in the north, and even have special transport ships to carry out fixed-point and timed transportation. All in all, it all depends on local needs.

In fact, from a distance, the orbital catapult device is more like a giant anti-aircraft gun, generally a single model, and there are also large orbital modules to meet other needs, but the vicinity of the settlement is a small single model, the medium-sized Ron plus his luggage is just a single orbital cabin to be stuffed, as Ron is in place, the long barrel begins to adjust the angle, the ejection system is docked with the airport main control system, as the countdown begins, the portholes around it begin to be covered by lowered alloy plates, However, the cabin was not pitch black, the photosensitive lights were automatically turned on, and the main control computer in the cabin began to project real-time images of the outside around the room・・・・・・
