Fang Zhou and the others first took a spaceship to a vast star field 500,000 kilometers away from the earth, and the closest interstellar transportation center to the earth was built here.

The reason why the interstellar transportation center was built so far is to avoid the impact of frequent interstellar migrations on the earth, and there is an interstellar waterway directly from the earth, so it is relatively convenient and fast to come here from the earth.

With the financial support of Chu He, a little rich woman, they bought a first-class cabin to the Bibo Star delivery spacecraft, in addition to comfort, there are also confidentiality considerations, after all, neither Aya nor Chu He are suitable for public appearances.

To be on the safe side, Ark also brought a pair of masks and told everyone: remember to wear a mask.

......

After they boarded the ship, the ship did not start immediately, and it still had to wait for the assembly of the interstellar convoy.

It is impossible for every spacecraft of interstellar flights to be equipped with an interstellar jump system, firstly because the cost is too high, and secondly, because only the Qiyuan system can support the interstellar jump, and the Qiyuan system will not be widely popularized, which is not conducive to the secrecy of the Qiyuan system.

Nowadays, interstellar transportation is generally large-scale, with a pilot ship equipped with an interstellar transition system as the head, and other delivery ships follow together to form a fleet of ships on this shift.

The pilot ship will move to each interstellar transit station in turn, and the accompanying delivery ship will break away from the team at their respective interstellar transit points and sail to their respective destinations on their own.

......

It took less than half an hour for Fang Zhou and the others to come here from 500,000 kilometers away, but it took more than an hour to wait for the fleet to assemble.

However, during the waiting period, it will not be boring, there is no shortage of food and drink in the first class, and there is a beautiful star sister service.

And Chu He was looking around curiously, because in the past, she used to take her own private spaceship, and this was the first time she took public transportation.

And Aya couldn't hide her excitement, because she had been trapped in that place where she didn't see the light of day for decades, and she hadn't seen the starry sky of freedom for a long time.

Aya was lonely, and after being rescued, there was nowhere to go, plus Chu He invited Aya to go to her, out of trust in Chu He, Aya agreed to Chu He's proposal.

Then, Aya told her story to Chu He, who was her best friend-

Aya grew up in a welfare home on a planet colonized by humans, and when Aya was thirteen years old, a group of armed men attacked the home and captured the children, including Aya. The children were taken to a secret planet, where they were used for human experimentation, and as time went on, the other children died, with only Aya surviving.

The person in charge of the experiment discovered that Aya was different, and more importantly, Aya stopped growing at the age of sixteen, which was not only physical, but also psychological.

The person in charge was extremely excited, he thought that he had opened the code of life, and he reported the news to the Duke, who continued to give him his full support. But in the next few years, the experiments in charge went nowhere, and there was no one like Aya anymore, and he couldn't even figure out what made Aya so special.

In the end, seeing that the experiment was fruitless, the duke, in order to keep it secret, eliminated all the participants in the experiment, and took Aya to the dark room under the headquarters of the Lockelnd group, which was decades, and the duke would regularly suck Aaya's blood.

The long-term miserable life made Aya lose hope of living, and even endangered her life.

And the duke opened a live broadcast in order to keep Aya alive, which allowed her to connect with the outside world, add a glimmer of hope to her life, and prevent her from dying of depression.

But I didn't expect this live broadcast that Aya gradually grew into a super idol. And for the sake of secrecy, the Lockman Group has always claimed that Aya is just an AI, although fans have also doubted Aya's true identity, but for decades, Aya's unchanged appearance has gradually dispelled this suspicion among fans.

As for why her body and mind stayed at the age of sixteen, Aya said that she didn't know either.

......

But the Ark sensed some clues, and the beginning of the speculation came from the 'Holy Grail' in the office, and the Duke wanted to borrow the blood from the cup to gain eternal life.

At first, Ark thought that there was something special about the 'Holy Grail', but he was wrong, the 'Holy Grail' was just an ordinary thing, not ordinary was Aya's blood, her blood was different from normal humans.

Although the duke did not gain eternal life by drinking Aya's blood, he continued his life by drinking Aya's blood, which is why the duke is dying but still not dead.

Aya's blood does have the effect of prolonging life, and the duke's blood can live to the present, so at that time, when the ark left with Aya, the duke's people never used weapons of mass destruction, not because of property or his men, because the duke could not hurt Aya, which was the duke's hope for survival.

As for why Aya's blood has the effect of prolonging life, the ark found after careful inspection: Aya is actually not a human race, at least not a pure human race, she should be a hybrid of an unknown intelligent race and a human race, it is the relationship between the bloodline of that part of the unknown intelligent race, which makes her look ageless, and the blood has the effect of prolonging life.

Regarding this speculation, the Ark will not say. Because once she says it, it will be almost a catastrophe for Aya, and everyone will want to catch her and drink her blood.

The Ark believes that humanity will gain eternal life in the future, but not by sucking the blood of a girl.

As for Aya's secret, the ark will keep it.

......

......

Time passed, and after an hour and forty minutes, the fleet of ships for this flight was finally assembled, and the journey began as the pilot ship launched an interstellar leap.

This interstellar journey jumps to the second transit station, an interstellar transit station in the Cetus galaxy, where the starship on which the Ark is traveling detached from the fleet and sails along the interstellar channel towards the Blue Wave Star at high speed.

It is estimated that it will take about two hours and 57 minutes to reach Bibo Star.

During this time, the Ark didn't want to meditate here, so he turned on the network and saw what the latest news was. Sure enough, the news has spread: two major events have happened within the Terrans, which can also be said to be one thing-

The headquarters of the Rockend Group was attacked by terrorists and suffered heavy losses, and the Rockend Group claimed that the attackers had been eliminated, but the server containing Aya's source code was also destroyed in the attack, and Aya has since withdrawn.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar, not only because the Lockemnd Group, as the first economy of the human race, was attacked on the mother planet of the earth, which could not help but make people question the defense system of the earth's native planet. This incident directly led to the resignation of the top member of the Round Table Council in charge of homeland defense.

And the attack led to Aya's exit, which made Aya's fans extremely angry, and they had already greeted the attacker's whole family.

But they don't know that what they thought was the attacker was actually Aya's savior. But in this information age, under the information offensive of the Lockendo Group, they get only information fabricated by the Rockend Group, and they have no way of knowing the facts.

......

Halfway through the voyage, there was a loud noise in the spacecraft.
