Chapter 16: Returning Home
Leaving the boxing ring, Wu Hao did not go home directly, but went to the spaceport first. He doesn't have much time, so he has to make the most of every second. So, he went to the spaceport first to buy a ticket.
Originally, before going home, I should have talked to my family on the phone. However, Wu Hao couldn't do this. There are two reasons for this, first, the 27th province is a newly established province of the empire, and interstellar communication has not yet been fully rolled out.
Second, even if interstellar communication is fully rolled out, Wu Hao may only be able to contact his family by writing letters. Wu Hao's hometown of Xuexing has an extremely harsh environment, although there is also electricity on the planet, but due to planetary factors, interstellar communication cannot be realized.
Before that, Wu Hao had two correspondence with his family, an average of once, which took about 2-3 months. This is because Xuexing is not only backward in technology, but also inconvenient in transportation.
Under normal circumstances, every planet has a spaceport, and every spaceport, there is a post office. However, none of this Snow Star has. If you want to leave by ship from Snow Star, you can only take a passing ship, and the same is true for mail, you need to let other passing ships pass by and deliver the package by the way.
If there is no ship passing by at a certain time, then there is no way to communicate with the outside world, and there is no way to leave or reach the planet.
Therefore, on the way to the spaceport, the only thing Wu Hao did was to pray, praying that there would be a spaceship passing by Xuexing recently, otherwise the plan that the master had arranged for him would be ruined.
But Wu Hao was lucky, when he bought the ticket, there happened to be a spaceship, which was going to pass by Xuexing, but it was a bit rushed, and the ship would depart in half an hour.
"When I got the money, I wanted to go and have a full meal, but now it seems that I can only give up first."
Because the opportunity was not easy to come by, Wu Hao did not hesitate much, so he bought a ticket, the first class of a cruise ship, and the price was 20,000 imperial coins.
This first-class cabin is not inexpensive, but Wu Hao doesn't have much expectations for the first-class cabin itself, and there is a reason for this.
Half an hour later, Wu Hao boarded the flight, the Galaxy G2271 interstellar flight served by the Galaxy Group.
Speaking of the Galaxy Group, we have to mention this name. The Galactic Group is one of the oldest groups in the Empire, having basically existed since the Empire was founded. And the logo of the Galaxy Group is also the appearance of the Milky Way.
Therefore, in the early days of the establishment of the Galaxy Group, especially when its business extended abroad, those foreigners would always ask the people of the Galaxy Group, why is your name called Galaxy Group?
What does your logo mean? It seemed to be a galaxy, but they hadn't seen it, where was it? Could it be that you've left the Apocalypse Galaxy?
The list goes on and on.
In this regard, the commissioner of the Galaxy Group will always hold his head up and proudly say: "This will be an eternal secret." ”
In fact, the origin of the word galaxy has indeed become a "secret", and in today's society, in addition to the imperial people, other civilizations still do not know the meaning of the galaxy. Although there are also some creatures named "traitors", they have brought the secrets of the galaxy abroad.
However, the upper echelons of the empire never openly acknowledged this.
Therefore, foreigners are even more incomprehensible to the imperial people, who occasionally refer to them as 'Yanhuangren', 'Chinese people', 'descendants of the dragon', 'Irish' and 'British'. Especially on some official occasions, some officials also say so, but the rulers of the empire still don't care, which is even more confusing.
So, as early as a thousand years ago, the self-proclaimed people of the Empire, and what the galaxy means, became two of the ten unsolved mysteries of the Apocalypse Galaxy.
……
Galaxy flight G2271, also has a Chinese name, called Galaxy Prince.
The name sounds powerful, but in fact, in the Empire, the ship with this name is eighty million, if not 100 million.
Moreover, in Wu Hao's opinion, the "Galaxy Prince" he is riding on now really has nothing to do with the prince. Because it's a very broken ship!
Instead of calling it the Prince of the Galaxy, it is simply called the Prince of Distress.
Since it is a broken ship, the first-class cabin in it is naturally impossible to get any better, which is also the main reason why Wu Hao has no expectations for this ship.
A year ago, Wu Hao took this ship and came to the north.
At that time, with his economy, he could only take economy class, and the price was 8,000 imperial coins, which was equivalent to the sum of a month's salary of an ordinary family male and female hostess.
That's it, it's still a family, plus Wu Hao has been working for many years, and it took a long time to save it.
Now, Wu Hao compares first class with economy class.
The same single room, the first class is a few square meters larger than the economy class, and then there is an extra toilet, in other aspects, it is exactly the same as the economy class, and I am really sorry for its price of 20,000.
Of course, these are not the most unbearable, the most unbearable thing is that this "prince" is obviously an interstellar cruise ship that has only been produced in the last 50 years, but it is not equipped with the latest ring shaft engine! As a result, it has a speed of only 20 light-years per hour. From the north to Xuexing, Wu Hao needs to take about 26 hours.
You know, the Empire is a civilization second to none! And this ship uses a fourth-generation ring shaft engine that even the more powerful third-class civilization may have abandoned......
The ring shaft engine is the mainstream faster-than-light flight technology in the universe, which is another use of ghost energy, with ghost energy ore as the main raw material.
After Wu Hao got on the spaceship, he first went to a broken restaurant, had lunch, and returned to his room.
The next 26 hours or so is a bit long, but Wu Hao at this time, after all, is not Wu Hao a year ago, at that time, he was shrunk in a cramped economy class, basically unable to sleep, so he could only stay up.
And now Wu Hao can pass the time through practice.
Therefore, as soon as he came back, Wu Hao sat cross-legged on the bed and entered a state of cultivation.
Wu Hao's attitude of practicing whenever he has time made Ye Qing very satisfied. Therefore, Ye Qing, who had reached a very high level, was also a little looking forward to what kind of achievements this kid would achieve in the future.
Time in practice always flies so fast.
It didn't seem to be long before a soft female voice appeared in the ship's communication on the Prince: "Hello passengers, welcome to this flight." The flight will be followed by a temporary 20-minute layover at Snow Star after 15 minutes. During this period, please do not leave the ship, please do not leave the ship, thank you for your cooperation. ”
After hearing this, Wu Hao slowly opened his eyes.
Are you going to be home soon?
As a prodigal son who hasn't been home for a year, don't say it, Wu Hao is really excited. But in the excitement, there are some regrets. Because...... Twenty-six hours later, it is the afternoon of January 1 of the new year. Wu Hao did not catch the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, nor did he catch the New Year greeting on the morning of the 1st.
