The jump station is generally above the planet, and an elevator will be set up to connect the ground arrival layer and the atmospheric departure layer, but this jump station does not have an elevator to reach the ground, and it is directly approached by aircraft.
"After you go in, don't ask questions, talk less, and don't say much when you turn around in the battle readiness star, there will be a guide robot." After the pilot brother finished speaking, he asked Fang Dong and Callant to follow the guide robot into the departure hall.
"This line is dedicated to transporting energy stones." Fang Dong whispered to Calant, "According to the mechanical theory, it is said that the most abundant energy and minerals are the combat readiness stars, which are simply inexhaustible."
Coming to the hibernation pod area, there are only five hibernation pods in the entire area.
One of them had been closed, and there were officers sitting in the two next ones, Fang Dong originally wanted to go and see which high-ranking one it was, but the officers on the two sides were staring at the two of them with serious expressions, as if the two of them dared to come over, they would break their necks.
"Okay," Fang Dong muttered, and lay down in the other two sleeping pods with Calant.
After Fang Dong woke up, the three of them were also gone, leaving only the two of them.
The bootstrap robot is standing nearby, guiding the two of them to make a transfer to the North Base Star.
"Hey, there's a net here." Fang Dong looked at the personal terminal that he received multiple messages in surprise, and the personal terminal that he finally received was not used for a few days.
Callant was on a video call to his family, and he didn't have time to pay attention to her, so Fang Dong remembered to give the old good news of safety, and said that the next stop would be to return to the education star.
Because this jump station is a special line connecting to the North Base Star, and Fang Dong and the others are now going to the Education Star, so the receiving robot needs to take them to another station, and there is a special line aircraft to go to the other station, which is the aircraft with a set number of trips.
Fang Dong sat on the flying machine and looked out the window curiously.
Outside the window is a quarry, mining robots are hard at work, and countless pieces of dusty ore are transported to the workshop.
"It's awesome, it's too steampunk." Fang Dong had never seen such a magnificent mining scene, and almost the entire planet was a mining field.
"My sister said she was going to come with your brother to educate us to see us," said Calant, who had just finished a letter with his family.
"Clams?" Fang Dong's eyes were still glued to the window, "Old Xilai?"
Calante shook his head, "No, didn't you just hear me?"
"Why am I listening to your communication?" Fang Dong continued to admire this peerless mining scene, "Look over there, are those three people who came with us today. ”
Fang Dong pointed to the three people in senior officer uniforms standing next to the aircraft.
Callant leaned over to the window and looked at it, "Seems so." ”
One of the officers seemed to hear the sound of the train whizzing by, and turned his head to look, so frightened that Fang Dong hurriedly lowered his body.
"What are you afraid of?" Callant pulled Fang Dong up.
"I don't know, I feel like he's so fierce, he just glared at me when he boarded the plane at the North Base Star." Fang Dong was lying in front of the window, the train had already passed the place where the three officers were standing, and it was very close to the jump station to the education star.
Signs of human life have begun to appear, and although the houses are very sparse, it is possible to identify that people should have lived here for a long time.
The train directly arrived at the ground floor of the jump station, Fang Dong and Calant still followed the pick-up robot to the elevator, sat in the landing hall to register, and after verifying their identities, they were ready to go to the dormant warehouse for the jump.
There are not many people in the landing hall, compared to ordinary civilian jump stations, but there are still about a few hundred people.
The people who come and go are generally dark and old, and the conditions of the mineral planet may be a little more difficult, so the two like Callant and Fang Dong are very conspicuous.
If you are conspicuous, you will be accosted, especially by middle-aged and elderly people with very rich social experience.
"Two little dolls, where are you going?" a gray-haired grandmother came to talk.
"Education Star" Fang Dong replied with a smile, but his eyes looked at the timetable, there were still twenty minutes to go to the Education Star.
"Oh, then how did you get to the Battle Readiness Star?"
Fang Dong reasoned out, because this is indeed a long story, and he was about to say it clearly, but Calant grabbed the conversation, "Come and mine some ore for testing." ”
Fang Dong silently gave a thumbs up to Calant.
The old lady still wanted to ask, but the entire landing hall suddenly darkened, screams sounded around him, Fang Dong's heart sank, it's over, this time he still can't go back to the education star.
Because this is the landing layer, outside the atmosphere, so after the lights dimmed, nothing could be seen, Fang Dong grabbed Karante's clothes.
"It's okay, there's backup power." Calante patted Fang Dong's hand.
Sure enough, the landing hall was lit up again, but the timetable was not lit up, and the entire hall began to broadcast broadcasts, allowing passengers to return to the ground floor in an orderly manner, saying that there was a change in energy and could not support the jump for the time being.
