Chapter 315: Birmingham Star
"Humph! Forget it if you don't take me! Nicole pouted, obviously unhappy.
"Okay, I can't help it this time, I'm trying to avoid this circle of right and wrong, and you can help the lieutenant general fight for some benefits here, and when I have a chance next time, I'm taking you to play!" Qin Hao said with a smile.
"Cut! Who rarely goes with you! Nicole glanced at Qin Hao, but didn't ask to go with him again.
Because what Qin Hao said is indeed true, Nicole really can't leave at this time, Qin Hao wants to leave because he is now Claude's direct subordinate, and he doesn't have any political experience, so it is easy to be used, and then cause irreparable consequences.
But Nicole is different, she doesn't have a position, so she is still a "child", she can help Lieutenant General Cohen fight for the greatest interests, and once she does something wrong, her "child" status can protect her, which Qin Hao can't compare.
"Then you can't take me there?" Qin Hao said with a hippie smile.
"Humph! Then spare you this time, and next time you dare to leave me, then I will not be done with you! Nicole threatened.
"Good, good! I'll take you with me next time I go and tie you to my belt, okay? Qin Hao said with a smile.
"Let's play!" Nicole glanced at Qin Hao with all kinds of charm, and almost gave his bones to the electric crisp.
After getting Nicole here, Qin Hao didn't even go back to the dormitory, he directly took Nicole's car and went straight to the airport, the hovering car in this era basically has the function of automatic driving, as long as the destination is entered, it can be automatically delivered, it doesn't matter whether he drives or not, and although Qin Hao hasn't driven a hovering car much, he hasn't driven a land tank, this thing is almost the same principle, so it can't be difficult for him.
After arriving at the airport, Qin Hao set the return procedure for the hovering car, and then went directly to the ticket hall, ready to buy a ticket to the Birmingham Star.
Birmingham Star is an almost abandoned mineral resource star, where the veins have been almost depleted, and most of the inhabitants of the planet have immigrated to other planets, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people, who can only stay there to survive because they can't afford the ticket money for interstellar flights.
The reason why Qin Hao chose Birmingham Star this time was that of course he didn't go to the countryside to support and condole, the main reason why he chose this place was that it was both desolate and safe enough.
Because almost all the residents of Birmingham have been evacuated, this deserted mineral star is inaccessible everywhere, and Qin Hao does not have to worry about being discovered when he starts the transformation ritual.
And because it is generally difficult for plants to survive in places with particularly rich minerals, let alone animals, so Birmingham Star, as a resource star that was once rich in mineral resources, the flora and fauna here are not very rich, not to mention the powerful beasts and alien races, so it is very safe for Qin Hao to choose to transform here.
"What is the fastest flight to Birmingham Star?" Qin Hao asked the ticketing robot in the ticket hall.
"There are only three flights to the Birmingham Star a year, the closest one is usually thirty-five minutes later, and if you miss this one, the next one is four months later!" The robot replied.
"Half an hour?" Qin Hao looked at his watch, this time was quite urgent, if he didn't hurry up, he might have to miss it!
"Print me a ticket to the Birmingham Star!" Qin Hao immediately inserted the credit card into it.
With the sound ......of the printer, Qin Hao's ticket was quickly punched out.
After taking the ticket, Qin Hao pulled out his credit card, and then ran towards the service desk, he had to seize every second, otherwise it would be too easy to miss this interstellar flight.
After passing the security check and redeeming the boarding pass, Qin Hao found that there were only less than five minutes left before the boarding time stopped, and he couldn't care about the eyes of others anymore, so he rushed over at full speed.
"Sir, please hurry!" The flight attendant shouted at Qin Hao, who was rushing over.
"It's coming! Here it comes! Qin Hao hurried slowly, and finally boarded the flight before the spaceship retracted the escalator.
After "Hu ......" sat in his seat, Qin Hao let out a sigh of relief, he was not tired when he was running, but he was simply lucky that he caught up with this spaceship.
Soon, the spacecraft left the earth's airport, because the earth's airport is in space, so the spacecraft does not need to ignite to escape the planet's gravity or anything, it immediately starts the phase engine after driving out of a safe distance, and begins to leap in space.
After Qin Hao memorized his seat belt, he began to look around, although the flight to Birmingham was only once in four months, it was still empty, although this small spaceship only had less than thirty seats, but there were not even half of the passengers.
Because the Birmingham Star was so desolate at this time, except for a few staff members and ships carrying the necessary supplies that would go there, only a few people who had made a fortune went home to pick up their parents and leave, but this was too rare, so few that it was almost nothing!
After the spaceship took off, Qin Hao soon found out that these people who went to Birmingham Star knew everyone except himself, and from their conversation, Qin Hao learned that these people were members of a liquidation team, and they went to Birmingham Star to settle the value of the mining equipment there, and then let the company's people disassemble and take the equipment away.
"Hey...... If the equipment is also dismantled, how will the old miners live? Qin Hao sighed, those old miners are now alive on those almost depleted tailings, once the mining equipment is evacuated from Birmingham Star, then they will also completely lose their source of livelihood.
Although he was a little sympathetic to those miners, Qin Hao was not a savior after all, he couldn't save the last few hundred old miners, and he went to Birmingham Star this time just to complete the transformation ceremony.
After four days and five nights of flight, Qin Hao's spaceship docked at the airport of Birmingham Star.
The airport is obviously in disrepair, and a lot of equipment has stopped working, and it is not known how long this airport can last, but the people in the liquidation team don't seem to care, because in their opinion, as long as this airport lasts for another three or five months, and when they take all the equipment away, the airport will completely lose its value.
After coming out of the airport, Qin Hao parted ways with those people, and those people were taken to the mine by special car, while Qin Hao walked towards the wilderness.
