Volume 1: The Exiled Lands Chapter 12 A First Exploration of the Ghost Harbor

The trading chips of 350 grams of nanoplastic materials, Chi Xiao happily accepted it, and promised very happily.

On his way out of the penal colony, Pipsqueak goes into "intermittent transitions of anxiety and alternating seizures of joy". She either secretly speculated about Chixiao's words and deeds, demeanor, and pondered whether there were any improper behaviors and omissions in the details during the transaction negotiation, or she was immersed in the infinite joy of the big financier.

The joy is up, and she also hums two sentences of Ah Yun's "Tiger Surfing Song" from time to time.

In an overweight state, the all-terrain motorcycle cannot go to the sky, bumping in the cols that sometimes have roads and sometimes no roads, and the out-of-tune nursery rhymes are accompanied by the howling wind in the ears, which has the neurotic texture of the second skyline.

Ah Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Can you not sing my original songs so strangely?" ”

Pippi wanted to laugh, but suddenly remembered the classic description of a certain secret history, and then saw Ah Yun's handsome face from the perspective of inwardness, but he didn't laugh. She returned the original words to Ah Yun in an almost angry tone, and forcibly locked up the inner drama that popped out in a hurry into the small black room: "Can you wake me up in such a strange way?" ”

Ah Yun's temperament is a little rough, he can't capture the girl's delicate thoughts, and Pippi gives a little more interference information, so he directly ignores her trivial inner drama: "You sleep for ten hours, and there is a big man sitting next to you, who keeps looking at you with his eyes." Don't you feel panicked?

Pipsqueak chuckled and almost slipped out, "Are you panicking?" ”

Who is Chixiao scrutinizing, I don't know yet?

Pippi's move into the penal camp was unusual, and the trading chips were even more bizarre, and Chixiao didn't even notice Ah Yun's existence at all? Ah Yun doesn't think Chixiao knows anything?

Pippi is not a scheming green tea, nor is he a stupid white sweet who is trapped in an undercurrent whirlpool and can listen to embattled songs without thinking. The hesitant drama in her heart, the moment it evolved into brain waves, she forced herself to make a mosaic and deceived Ah Yun with the pop curve of split personality.

Ah Yun's voice was a little stiff, and he said disdainfully: "Nonsense, why should I wake you up without panic?" ”

Pipsqueak: "......"

She was the only one with a concussion, not Ah Yun......

Other people's systems give skills, weapons, and equipment. Why does his pseudo "system" not have back pain except for standing and talking, but not back pain when lying down and talking?

Why is it that every time it is the pseudo "system" that is responsible for digging the brain hole, it is Pippi who is responsible for jumping into the pit and being buried?

She really wanted to open a space field and jump back to the laboratory immediately, modify the space mecha and sell it to Chixiao, collect his nanomaterials early to build an anthropomorphic robot, and dig Ah Yun out of her head and bury it.

It's so hateful!

However, in Tu Shanxing's transformation of mechas, raw materials are a big problem.

Tu Shanxing has been restricting the air for decades, and no one has opened a mecha. Several abandoned space mecha stations are the ruins of only transceiver platforms, orbits, and compartments. The old mechas, all that could be opened were driven away by the Control Bureau, and those that could not be opened were sent to the scrapping station of the scrapped mechas.

It is possible that the only mecha hidden in Tu Shanxing is the one that Pipsqueak drove in when he ran away from home.

The problem is that Pippi's light mecha that only carries defensive weapons may not be used by Chixiao. The escape of exiles is no easier than running away from home. If you run away from home, you only need to avoid Dad's curve ambush; On the way to escape, he may need to engage his pursuers at any time, at least a medium-sized mech.

Pipsqueak also agrees to "escort" Blaze on his escape in the name of the Mecha Engineer. If nothing else, even if it is to save your life, you can't be sloppy.

She ran away from home and came to Tushan Star, and then went back to Kunlun Star to turn on her father's scrap mecha, which was unrealistic.

If you are caught, you will have to be locked up.

It is even more unrealistic to buy materials to build a new space mecha. The core materials for building mecha will not be shipped here, the air is limited, there is no market, and there is no money to be made by smuggling it.

After returning to the city, Pipsqueak didn't open a space field to go to the lab, and there were no materials in the lab. She wandered around the abandoned mecha station for more than a dozen times, and she didn't even find the mecha scum, and she was so anxious that she didn't wake up and scratched her half-pill head.

"Have you heard of Ghost Harbor?" When Ah Yun mentioned the name of this place, the wind was light.

"Ancient Battlefield." Pipsqueak let out a cool breath. This place name is a taboo in the Penglai galaxy, and no one wants to mention it for decades, and it may have been abandoned to the point that the grass is about to grow.

"It's not an ancient battlefield, it's a modern battlefield." Ayun corrected Pippi's slip of the tongue in a popular way, and he still looked light. "Ghost Harbor was once a transportation hub on the interstellar route and a transshipment center for arms smuggling. It is close to several wormholes, and the geographical environment is quite complex. In the past, starships often disappeared, and in addition to the magnetic field, interstellar pirates also liked to ambush there. ”

"After the Beacon Ten Swords decisive battle against Ghost Harbor, it seems that no media has mentioned this place name. Miji has checked the reports in recent years, and almost no words have written about the relevant incidents, which should have been abandoned. The arsenal in the port may be emptied, and no one should clean the battlefield, after all, it is not a good place, and the slightest deviation in the route may not return. ”

"Let's go there and maybe find a few half-crippled mechs to fight for."

"If you want to take my life, don't beat around the bush, just say it." Pipsqueak was eager to ask him why he was so familiar with Ghost Harbor, and the description in the history books was limited to the term "ancient battlefield". Between the chicken, an artificial intelligence that can record the entire history of mankind, Pippi reluctantly believes Ah Yun and believes that he will let the chicken check the ghost harbor.

Don't know why? Even aside, conspiracy theories aside, she didn't expect Ah Yun to be the one written in the "Secret History of Admirals".

"Your life is worth it?" Ah Yun is usually mean, and he looks very cheap in front of Pippi.

"But your life is worth it, Daddy System." Pipsqueak is poor with her pseudo-"system" and is never polite.

"There's a route map there, I'll turn on the mecha, and you'll be in charge of the black network. Don't worry, believe Ayun, stay safe! Ah Yun played a recording of snapping his fingers, I don't know where he got it, and the cheers of the concert were not cleaned.

"When you open the mecha, you don't use my brainwaves." Pipsqueak twitched his shoulders and turned away, agreeing. "Thank you, Uncle Yun! I'll have to buy a pair of wax, write a tablet, and serve a bowl of white rice to your old man. ”

"Keep you alive for a long time, and give birth to a noble son early...... Ah Yun's metal ball looked at the vista outside the platform, but the voice was arguing with her in Pippi's head.

Pipsqueak: "......"

What's that?

Ghost Harbor, as its name suggests.

Specks of fluorescent light fall in front of the bridge, like a star curtain on a dome, and each fluorescent point represents the position of a celestial body in the universe. The red and blue shipping routes of the virtual and the real travel between the celestial bodies, overlapping at a single point, and then extending infinitely into the distance.

The point where the routes overlap is the legendary Ghost Harbor.

The starry sky map inside the mecha is shimmering and unstable.

The magnetic field of the wormhole near and far disrupted the communication signals on the route. The sparkling glow in the cockpit flashed like a ghost.

Through the manipulation network linked by Ayun, Pipsqueak is able to access a 360-degree cosmic perspective outside the mech.

In the vast and boundless universe, there are large and small metal fragments and particle clouds suspended, as well as rescue pods that have not been salvaged. The corpses in the rescue cabin are still the same as they were sleeping decades ago. Occasionally, I came across a few rescue pods, and the corpses inside had entered a long period of semi-decompositation, which should have been left a long time ago, at least more than fifty years.

The cloud of particles is left behind after the decomposition of the floating corpse of the universe.

Some of the metal fragments are inscribed with inscriptions indicating the fleet to which they once belonged. The wreckage of the merchant fleet and the warships have been mixed up for decades, if not longer.

From afar, it looks like a silent graveyard.

Far away, have you ever missed staying here? Have you ever been to your hometown?

This cemetery, which has long been forgotten by human civilization and has been in ruins, has not been cleaned up for decades, and many metal fragments and rescue pods are floating on the waterway, which has lost its former glory.

In this realm, it's best not to drive the mecha into an S line, and if you leave the channel, you won't be able to see what will happen.

There are countless obstacles on the channel, and Ayun has to clear the channel while driving the mecha, and the mecha is almost in a stop-and-go shape.

Forget about metal fragments and rescue pods, things like particle clouds, the mecha will drive them away and scatter, and Ah Yun will still use the catcher to invite them out of the channel.

The faster-than-light mecha has become a snail's speed. Pipsqueak once suspected that a standard sailing day's distance would take ten days for Ah Yun to pass.
