16. Wormhole cells
Tang Chuan did not linger on the tarmac, and after accepting the private number given by Teregal, he quickly left alone.
There is nothing to ask for the time being, and even if it does, it can be asked to Quintasha to directly hack into their information system and answer for herself.
As one of the main helipads of the eighteenth Heka Star, it's big, really big, and grandiose like that.
After all, it is used to park spaceships, and the scale and facilities cannot be compared to the airport of Azure Star.
In the endless tarmac, there are all kinds of spaceships of all kinds and sizes.
In the air, one by one, the Heka star standard shuttle, you come and go, on the sky dome dozens of meters high, shuttling through.
Every time a new spacecraft lands, there will be airport administrators who will control the shuttle to descend to disperse the people in that area and prevent casualties caused by the spacecraft's air pressure.
Just a corner of this planet gave Tang Chuan a real understanding of the concept of interstellar civilization.
However, it didn't take long for Tang Chuan to scold the shamelessness of Interstellar Capital again in his heart.
Without him, the tarmac is too big, and if you want to go out, you have to break your leg!
There are public means of transportation on the ground, but each public suspension vehicle has a short stop time and a long interval.
The main thing is that there is still a fee!
If you want to get out of the tarmac quickly, you can, there are public shuttles in all directions, similar to shared bikes.
However, the price is also expensive, and one Heka Star consumes two hundred universal credits!
It's enough for a family of three and a month's rations!
This Nima is a fool of the aliens!
However, in the end, Tang Chuan still did that, the alien stupid big money in his mouth, rented a shared shuttle the size of a blue star car.
No way, there is money.
Too lazy to wait for the bus......
The shared shuttle is a bit like the concept of the Azure Star, the shell of the surrounding part is made of transparent material, of course, as long as you don't want to be watched, you can set the shell to a non-transparent state at any time.
The flight altitude of the civil shuttle of Heka Star is divided into dozens of levels, in order to avoid "air accidents".
After all, if there are no traffic rules for shuttles in the air, it seems that the sky is high and birds can fly, but in fact, it is still easy to cause shuttles to collide and cause casualties.
This is also in line with Tang Chuan's vision, if a planet wants to popularize flying vehicles, there will inevitably be much stricter traffic control than ground transportation.
Otherwise, the speed of the shuttle is too fast, and it is difficult to control, any car accident may cause great life and economic losses.
Therefore, in order to control the shared shuttle, in addition to swiping the card to give money, you also need to select the flight altitude, and then the shuttle will always operate at this altitude, and cannot intrude into other air lanes at will.
Of course, the traffic is smooth, you can see the scenery below, and there is a relatively small air control area, so you still have to pay more......
Vomit, Tang Chuan vomited.
However, who makes himself rich, forget it, just choose the one that can be exercised most freely, has the best view, and is also the most expensive to fly.
The shuttle set sail and lifted directly to the established track, with a space of four or five meters up and down, and Tangchuan can be lifted and lowered freely, which belongs to the "free activity area" of this traffic track.
As a high-level ninth-level civilization, the shared shuttle naturally has artificial intelligence, although it is not completely anthropomorphic, but the degree of intelligence is naturally not comparable to the technology of Azure Star.
However, Tang Chuan directly blocked the intelligent system, after all, with Quintasha here, other artificial intelligence is of no use at all.
Quintasha directly invaded the system, took control of the shuttle, and took Tang Chuan to start traveling the planet.
Overlooking this huge airport, it is estimated that it is at least nearly 10,000 hectares, and it is a large airport where military and civilian use coexist.
Of course, in special circumstances, all civilian areas will be requisitioned, and non-military spacecraft will be banned from flying, which is also written into the law of the Heka people.
Tang Chuan looked at the military core area where he was forbidden to fly, and vaguely saw a huge and thick strange spaceship, and after magnifying through the picture of Quintasha, Tang Chuan was also shocked.
What kind of spaceship, or creature is that......
It is about a few kilometers long and wide, and the bulging part of the shell can even be seen as steely muscle lines, and above the bulging muscles, the shell that naturally grows on the gray flesh is like a jacket insect, the shell is covered with scales and armor, or ...... Exoskeleton tissue?
On top of the scales, it grows naturally, as if it has written some kind of cosmic rules, which makes people feel shocked at a glance.
Quintasha replied in a timely manner: "This is a biological spaceship, it should be the core technology that the Heka Star people's subordinate civilization has granted them, not so much a spaceship, but a controllable, manned starry sky creature."
It is cultivated from the cells of some strange creature, and it is used to shuttle through wormholes to achieve short-distance space jumps, and at one time, it can only jump about ten light years.
After all, shuttling in the wormhole requires too many cosmic rules to be involved and controlled, not to mention a ninth-level civilization, even if it is an eighth-level civilization, it can't create a spaceship that can travel in the wormhole for a long time. ”
Tang Chuan was surprised when he heard this: "Doesn't that mean that low-level civilizations, if they want to explore the starry sky for a long distance, they can almost only use biological spaceships?" ”
Quintasha said: "That's right, in fact, for some slightly higher civilizations, long-distance jumps are also the most practical and cheap biological spaceships. ”
Tang Chuan was curious: "Cheap? Is this thing very popular? ”
Quintasha explained with a smile: "The biological spaceship is a long time ago, when a wise man of a certain high civilization was jumping in a wormhole, he discovered that the moment he opened up the wormhole, a starry sky creature from another dimension would float and feed on the space-time energy in the wormhole.
However, these lifeforms, which were later named 'wormhole creatures', have very low intelligence, most of them act on instinct, and some low-level wormhole creatures do not have too much strength except for the ability to move in wormholes.
As a result, some people found business opportunities, and advanced civilizations competed to capture those low-level wormhole creatures.
Extracting their flesh and blood, it took a long time to transform them, and cultivated a controllable 'biological spaceship' that can divide and multiply into various shapes, which can be easily manipulated by intelligent creatures.
It can allow low-level civilizations to travel in wormholes, carry out interstellar jumps, and protect the intelligent creatures inside from being eroded by the rules of wormholes and turning into decay.
However, this kind of cultivable 'wormhole cell' is a relatively expensive product for an eighth-level civilization, and there are not many eighth-level civilizations.
And as long as the cultivation is successful, the cost of interstellar jumping can be minimized.
After my inspection, this ship of Heka Star should be a high-level eighth-level civilization, and the wormhole cells sold to Heka people are 'defective', with some imperceptible defects.
But for ninth-level civilizations, this is also enough to be proud of themselves, they can make time and space jumps, instantly strike at other civilizations, and can also dig up rare resources in the depths of the distant galaxy and transport them back to their own civilization. ”
Tang Chuan probably understood that the technology and resources of interstellar jumping were all considered a money-burning job among the main universe civilizations.
Like Azure Star, there is no technology, no ability to forge, what can be done?
Buy it.
As long as you have resources, you don't need to build them, just sell you a whole body!
As for whether there are defects or not, check for yourself!
If we find out after we buy it, then it's none of our business.
As for the specific technology?
I'm sorry, but you can't learn it, and you don't have the conditions to make this technology work.
What do you want to try out?
That's not good, I'm afraid that you don't understand anything and play with fire and burn yourself, then we will be guilty of a great crime.
For your own good, don't talk about it again.
Tang Chuan shook his head with a smile and asked, "Since there are only a few eighth-level civilizations, where did the Heka Star people come from, they are so rich?" ”
Kuntasha gave Tang Chuan an intriguing look and said, "Of course, this is by virtue of, it must be their No. 1 main star, and they have one, a low-level Fourth Celestial Speed Strongman!" ”
Tang Chuan was stunned, then laughed and said, "In this way, any place, any dimension, any civilization, can still speak with strength." ”
Quintasha also smiled, "Except for a few extreme cases of the main universe...... Yes, master, you are right, strength is the foundation of everything. ”
Tang Chuan: "This makes me look forward to your second course of treatment." ”
