Parallel universes, galaxies.

489 years in the imperial calendar.

The Yuanwang Starmail Ship slowly docked next to the Highland Air Harbor, and under the guidance of the towing program, the giant starship with a length of more than two thousand meters was accurately and firmly locked with the Highland Air Harbor.

Highland Airport is actually a space city, located in the orbit of the planet Yaqiu, and from the outside, this space city looks like a large rectangular iron box, with many lights flickering on the surface.

The Highland Air Harbor is the only space port on the planet Yaqiu, and it is also the gateway to this planet, and anyone who wants to take an interstellar mail ship or land in Yaqiu must pass through this air port to complete.

The location of Planet Yaqiu is one of the most remote places in the entire Xinghan Empire, and although there are human colonization footprints in more distant galaxies, it is beyond the control of the Empire, and there are generally no regular mail ships to go there.

With the signal of the Highland Airport for permission to land, the interior of the Yuanwang has begun to get busy, and many of the goods ready to be transported to Yaqiu have been pushed to the vicinity of the landing hatch one by one.

Those who needed to disembark were already dragging their suitcases and waiting next to the guest door, waiting for the door to open and then follow the landing passage to the Highland Airport.

There were not many passengers disembarking, only twenty or thirty people in total, which was very small compared to other airports on the route.

Yaqiu's location is so remote that few people have ever visited it, not to mention that the security of this place is very bad, and it can be called notoriety in the empire.

However, the attraction of Aqiu is simply due to the fact that it is rich in a very valuable mineral deposit, which makes some people risk their lives to come to this hostile place.

It is precisely because of the existence of this mineral that the interstellar mail ship will include Yaqiu in its fixed route, otherwise such a remote and sinister place would be willing to come.

Among the passengers, there was a young man who seemed out of place with the others, and those who dared to venture to Yaqiu were either daring adventurers or those who were not accepted elsewhere, and the common trait of these people was that they all looked more sophisticated or fierce in appearance.

However, this young man had a sven face, and his delicate and fair face exuded a bookish air, compared to those next to him, it was like a little white rabbit in the hunting dogs, and people couldn't help but worry about whether he would be torn to pieces by this chaotic place in Yaqiu.

"Beep-" With an elongated beep, the red light above the landing hatch turned green, and the heavy and sturdy hatch slowly opened, revealing a long, slightly dark passage in front of the passengers' eyes.

"Please pay attention to safety, you will enter a weightless state when you leave the hatch, be sure to hold on to the tow rope and be careful of hitting your head......" A crew member of the Yuanwang kept reminding him next to the hatch.

One by one, the passengers stepped out of the hatch, and their bodies suddenly lost the restraint of gravity and floated lightly in the air.

There is still some distance from the hatch of the Yuanwang to the airport, and it must pass through this sealed passage, which has no gravity, so it is necessary to grasp the tow rope and be driven by the rope to pass smoothly.

This method is now rare in other airports, but Highland Airport still retains it, because there are fewer passengers here, and the airport simply does not want to spend more money on it.

At the same time as passengers were heading to the airport through the sealed channel, more than a dozen cargo doors were also opened at the same time, and a large number of goods were sent to the airport from the cargo channel.

At the same time, there was also a large amount of cargo transported from the airport to the mail ship, most of which was ore, which was the whole meaning of Yaqiu's existence, without which there would be no Yaqiu today.

The passengers quickly passed through the air pressure cabin and finally entered the airport waiting hall. From Highland Airport to Yaqiu Ground, you must take a regular shuttle, and there is still some time before the shuttle departs.

The passengers dispersed, some using the time to get something to eat, others wandering around the airport, and soon only the young man with the good looks of Sven was still standing in the waiting hall.

The young man looked around with a somewhat lonely expression, and finally sat down on a bench, leaned back in a dejected chair, and let out a sigh.

This young man's name is Liu Yi, he is twenty-five years old, and it is not the first time he has come to this place, because he was born here, and he is a native of Yaqiu.

Although Liu Yi was born in Yaqiu, he didn't like this place at all, especially after his parents died.

Liu Yi had actually been away from Yaqiu for ten years, and when he left here, he had secretly vowed never to return to this place.

However, fate played a trick on him, and he was forced to return to Aqiu after ten years away.

Liu Yi, who was sitting on the bench, looked dejected, and sighed vigorously, like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost.

Just three months ago, he was a young talent in the imperial capital, and seeing that the future was bright, who would have expected that only three months later, he would return to his hated hometown like a lost dog.

Liu Yi, who was sitting alone on the bench, remembered the scene when he was in the imperial capital again, and the scenes of the past were vivid, as if he was watching a movie.

Three months ago, Liu Yi was a top student at the Imperial Royal Military Academy, studying for a doctorate under the world-famous scholar Yuwen Song.

Seeing that there is only less than half a year left before graduation, Liu Yi is full of enthusiasm and is ready to enter the army, with excellent grades and the recommendation of his mentor Yu Wensong, Liu Yi's future is undoubtedly very bright.

However, at a party, Liu Yi accidentally offended the son of a high-ranking nobleman of the empire, who didn't say anything at the time, but afterwards used his family connections to kick Liu Yi, who was about to graduate, out of school, and threatened to make Liu Yi have no place in the imperial capital.

Liu Yi, who had a smooth future, suddenly became uncertain, and even his personal safety was threatened, in such a situation, Liu Yi could only accept the advice of his mentor and return to his hometown to avoid the limelight for a while, so as not to cause death.

The background of the Qiu family is very deep, even a famous scholar like Yu Wensong cannot protect Liu Yi, and Liu Yi has nowhere to go except to return to Yaqiu.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yi's heart was full of remorse and anger, just because the other party's family background was illustrious, he could manipulate the fate of others at will, as a young man with strong blood, how could Liu Yi swallow this evil breath.

"Someday, I'll make you regret it!" Unconsciously, Liu Yi clenched his fists and trembled involuntarily.

At this moment, the announcement sounded in the departure hall: "There are 30 minutes left until boarding, please prepare for boarding......

The sound of the radio pulled Liu Yi back to reality from the thoughts of reminiscence, and at the moment, the most important thing for him was to gain a foothold in Yaqiu first, and as for revenge, it would be later.

Ten years away from Yaqiu, coupled with the fact that his parents have passed away, Yaqiu has no one to rely on locally, and everything has to start from scratch.

It can be said that Liu Yi is not much different from those foreign adventurers now, and he must find a way to find his own place in this chaotic place.

The chaos in Aqiu was far worse than outsiders imagined, and Liu Yi knew this very well, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have made such an oath in the first place, determined never to return.

Speaking of the root cause of the chaos in Aqiu, it is actually very simple, Aqiu is not a very suitable planet to colonize, because of the rare ores produced here, so people come here from far and wide.

Due to the harsh environment and the competition for mineral resources, Yaqiu has become a place of violence and chaos, and the local government has colluded with the mining companies, resulting in a long period of chaos and constant armed conflict.

Although the nobles who were pampered in the imperial capital understood Aqiu's problems, they did not care and did not care about the lives of the local residents. For these people, as long as Aqiu can continue to generate profits, chaos and violence don't matter, and it's not themselves who die anyway.

Whether he can gain a foothold in Yaqiu, in fact, Liu Yi's heart is not at the bottom, the only thing he can rely on at present is a letter of recommendation written for him by his mentor Yu Wensong when he left, as for how much this letter can do, he can only resign himself to fate.

Liu Yi stood up, lifted his suitcase, and walked to the entrance of the safe passage, waiting for the security check.

Looking at the boarding passage behind the security gate, Liu Yi felt that it was a road to the future, and this road seemed so narrow and dim, no one knew what fate would await him ahead.

Forty minutes later, despite the vibration of the seats, the shuttle rushed out of the airport with a "whoosh", and the bright lights outside the window instantly turned into boundless darkness.

The shuttle carrying dozens of passengers plunged headlong into the atmosphere of Yaqiu, and after a while, the shuttle began to vibrate, and the feeling of weightlessness hit again, Liu Yi felt that his butt had left his seat, and his body began to become light and fluttery.

The violent shaking lasted for more than ten minutes, the window gradually became brighter, the shuttle finally entered the atmosphere completely, and the dazzling light shot into the cabin, and everyone, including Liu Yi, finally recovered from the tension at this time.

Looking at the vast Yaqiu land outside the window, Liu Yi finally felt the reality of returning to his hometown, and the gorgeous and colorful landforms that had been formed after billions of years were like an ancient picture scroll, slowly unfolding in front of Liu Yi's eyes.

"I'm back, Aqiu! Hope everything goes well next! Liu Yi said silently in his heart.
