Volume II, Chapter 322: General Standards

The sea of brilliant stars, the cosmic space is not as silent as it seems. Leap technology has allowed different planets to cross distances from each other for tens of thousands of years. Even in the era of the "East Sacred Alliance", the earliest planet to enter the age of space and navigation cannot be verified.

In the transition fault on the back side of space, in the sub-void environment, Voyager-class civil ships are using jump technology to shuttle between the stars. The Lork Martin Company, one of the many interstellar civil aviation enterprises in the empire, is not large. Relying on the remote routes that large companies disdain, as well as a good reputation, it has barely maintained its operation for more than 100 years. This is already very rare, and even the empire that rules the first and fourth star regions is difficult to accurately count how many civil aviation companies are operating under their rule. It is not an exaggeration to say that every minute in the empire there are civil aviation enterprises established, and at the same time the same number of civil aviation collapses. Because, when the digits written in decimal reach a dozen digits, the difference in single digits seems to the relevant departments of the empire, there is no difference. The emperor of the empire would not have bothered with the civil aviation industry.

This ship is the ship of the Lork Martin Civil Aviation Company, a company that no one in the Empire cares about. Interestingly, though, the predecessor of the Voyager class was a second-generation warship of the Imperial military. Although it is a first-class antique whose name cannot even be found, it does have the typical characteristics of the hull layout of second-generation warships - a symmetrical single-maneuver bump in the middle of the hull. When he learned this, Long Qicong was really taken aback. He didn't expect that the empire also had warships flowing into the civilian market, but he didn't know if the emperor knew about it.

The third class cabin of the converted ship is the lowest fee, corresponding to only one chair and a metal plate fixed to the back of the front seat to act as a small table for each person. The chair padding is quite soft, and it won't be too uncomfortable to sit down for ten days, maybe.

In addition, the service attitude of the flight attendant has not changed because of the third class. This is probably why the reputation of the company is very good. Snobbery, who will change his attitude because of the people he serves, will not be chosen as a space attendant. Lorke is also an interstellar company, and the treatment of employees is definitely better than that of most companies.

"Hello, how can I help?"

When the flight attendant walked to the place where she was summoned, the boy she saw was black-haired and black-eyed, not good-looking and by no means ugly. At first glance, she couldn't find anything that attracted her, and her ordinary face would disappear if she was thrown into the crowd. She couldn't help but look at the boy carefully, until she noticed that he was holding his hands on his chest, and she realized her faux pas. Professionalism didn't allow her to panic, and the flight attendant asked worriedly.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you have a paper bag?" The boy replied.

The flight attendant paused for a moment before confirming that what she had heard was true. With an ugly face and a paper bag, she could only think of a word that had almost nothing to do with interstellar civil aviation, seasickness. The inertial stabilization system that is now standard on spaceships will reduce the discomfort caused by the difference in the artificial gravity field. Unless you are particularly seasick, you will get seasick. Therefore, basically no civil aviation company will prepare corresponding countermeasures on the ship. But maybe this is the wonderful fate, and the flight attendant lady has medicine to relieve this discomfort.

"You wait."

With that, he walked away quickly. Long Qicong looked at her departing back, and his heart was full of emotion. Even if the warships of the empire are antique, their technology is not possessed by ordinary private enterprises. Therefore, the second-generation warship, which should have been hidden in the snow a long time ago, is also the safest and most reliable ship type in the hands of civil aviation. But it is by no means the most comfortable, and early warships are limited by the discount of technical comfort, coupled with the aging of jump engines and inertial stabilizers. Generally speaking, the comfort is still adequate. However, it was definitely uncomfortable for Long Qicong, who was sitting in the third-class cabin.

The girl next to him looked at Long Qicong and put her hand on his. The girl was the boy's sister, and her absolute beauty as a work of art was overshadowed by the racial identity of their race. Most people even unconsciously ignore her presence. Long Qicong gave her a smile and shook his head slightly. Now that he is in the heart of the empire, he uses techniques to relieve discomfort, and if he is exposed, it will be fatal.

At this time, the flight attendant lady returned. In addition to the paper bag, a glass of water and a few pills were handed out. Long Qicong looked at the white pill with a puzzled expression.

"Medicine to relieve the discomfort of sailing," explained the flight attendant with a smile, "My brother is also prone to seasickness, and although he is very busy, he will come to see me on the flight." ”

"This is for him?"

The flight attendant nodded, she wasn't particularly pretty. But Long Qicong felt that the picture of her meeting her brother would be beautiful, and if she could, no one would want to destroy it. The heart of one person, the journey of tens of thousands of people. But does the choice really exist?

Long Qicong smiled at her and put the pill into his mouth. He should have been more cautious, it wouldn't be too long to analyze the ingredients using the relevant procedure, and it would have added additional risks. However, the smile of the flight attendant lady has already given the result.

"Get some sleep, and call me anytime."

The flight attendant smiled and said that the boy and her brother should be the same age, probably because of the affection for him, right? Speaking of which, it's been a long time since my brother has come to see her. She sighed, if she could, she hoped that her brother would not continue with the job that could cost him his life at any time, and that her income would be more than enough for the two of them.

But, fairy tales only have ifs.

She continued her work, moving from cabin to cabin. But there was a trace of uneasiness lingering in my heart, and I always felt as if I had overlooked something important. The consequences of a mistake in her work were severe, and she had to think hard about what the problem was. Suddenly, she realized that there seemed to be another person next to the boy, and it should be a girl. But why did she ignore her, the flight attendant lady didn't understand. The girl may also be uncomfortable and need help, but he doesn't care about her at all.

Why?

The flight attendant lady didn't understand that it wasn't something she would do. She couldn't help but walk towards the boy, but the boy in that position, and the girl next to him, were nowhere to be found. Maybe she lost the bathroom, she explained to herself, but the anxiety in her heart grew heavier.

A woman's sixth sense is sometimes inexplicably inexplicable, at least this time.

Long Qicong and his sister Long Diyue were in the side maneuvering vent of the ship. Civil warships do not have this structure, and warships need it to complete evasive maneuvers.
