Chapter 1: Harden

Among the various space facilities created by mankind, the planetary station is the most massive and spectacular. Planetary stations are generally modified from a moderate-sized asteroid (the size of the parent planet, Earth's satellite, the Moon). Through various technologies, the entire asteroid is transformed into a layered and huge space facility.

The planetary station is often used as an entrance and exit to the star field, which not only has the ability to complete industrial production, dock and repair starships, and take and process energy.

As the most stable, completely stopped exploration and development, and became the most important agricultural base in the entire Federation, the Heyue Star Domain has three direct channel entrances, one of which is based on the Harden Planetary Station.

The Harden planetary station has been in orbit for two hundred and seven standard Earth years, and if nothing happens, it will continue to operate like this forever. All of the key materials inside it have been updated in two technological revolutions fifty and twenty years ago, which not only makes the Harden planetary station brighter, but also the living environment inside it is more comfortable.

Comfort, for the residents of Harden Planetary Station who have lived all their lives and have no way to go elsewhere, is "a place to live, something to eat, clean air, and normal drinking water".

Extravagant and luxurious environments are always only given to a few. The people who would live in the planetary station were originally workers here, and then they became natives who were born and raised here, and even lived here for generations.

There are also rich local tyrants at the planetary station, but they are in the minority.

"Starship UT-8883 enters Starport 6, please get ready!" With the broadcast of the Starport Control Tower, a group of staff put on their work clothes and entered the Starport.

Autonomous robots can replace a lot of human work, but humans are not machines, they need to work, and creating a large number of idle people without work for a long time is quite deadly for a semi-enclosed planetary station.

Fifteen years ago, the Harden planetary station underwent a major generational change, handing over 85% of the work of the entire planetary station to autonomous robots, and the result was two years of turmoil.

Eventually, the station's management had to reopen those jobs, and the station was able to settle down.

But there are still many after-effects of the turmoil of fifteen years ago, including the gangs that were formed during the turmoil, which are basically impossible to clean up.

Most of these gangs were just a group of poor people trying to survive in the beginning, but when they tasted the benefits of huddles, they were no longer pathetic.

There are more than a dozen gangs of all sizes at the Harden Planetary Station, and the largest one has even become the hidden owner and manager of the Harden Planetary Station.

The UT-8883 civilian route starship docked at Starport 6 at Harden Planetary Station, and a large group of people came out of the starship. Some of them are people who have returned from other planetary stations, and some of them have come here from poorer places to look for development, but more of them have entered the Heyue Star Field through the Harden planetary station as a transit springboard.

The four of them mingled in the crowd and entered the Harden planetary station. As for the starship Earth Binding Spirit Haiwei, she naturally didn't have it together, she stubbornly stayed on the Hunter, feeling that it was the safest there.

The four of them changed their appearance, looking like the most inconspicuous people in the crowd, and in the midst of the crowd they came to the diversion port, where a staff member had been waiting, with a strange sign on his chest, like a decoration, and like some kind of meaningful warning.

None of the people around him approached the staff, and even some of the staff members looked at him with a sense of fear.

Bai Shanglu took Kunwu and the three of them to the front of this staff member, and leaned on the other party's personal terminal with his own personal terminal.

The other party glanced at what was displayed on the personal terminal, grinned, and showed jagged yellow teeth: "Please follow me!" ”

He led the four of them to the lower level of the Star Harbor, where he handed them over to another staff member with the same mark. The staff member put the four of them into a photon car and set up an automatic route.

On the way, Bai Shanglu explained to the three of them: "The Dayuan Chamber of Commerce was founded by Wen Yuan, and he made his fortune by that incident fifteen years ago, and now it is the largest gang in the entire Harden Planetary Station, and he has a regular government identity, and he himself is also the friend of the chief of the planetary station, this guy has a lot of means, we will rely on him this time!" ”

Kungo has a conspiracy theory mentality about those in power from any social class: "Are you sure that guy won't betray us?" Lao Bai, you have to know that I am now wanted by the whole Federation and He You. Just look at our bounty amounts! ”

"200 million federal coins?" Bai Shanglu smiled, "Don't worry, I'm naturally sure, that guy, this kind of benefit is not enough to make him tempted." Unless he knows......"

His gaze fell on Kungo's chest.

Kun Wu rolled his eyes: "I understand, I'm a humanoid self-propelled relic now, the kind that is especially valuable!" ”

Soon, the photon car came to a luxurious residential area and stopped in front of a huge house.

It's hard to imagine that this is the depths of the entire planetary station just by looking at the environment, and the photon simulation dresses it up like any natural planet, even the fresh air you breathe.

"Oh, my dear brother, how did you become like this?" A man who was a little fat and dressed in casual home clothes stood at the door waiting for them, and was stunned when he saw the four of Kunwu, he was a little unclear which one was Bai Shanglu, and he didn't know who was who until Bai Shanglu went up to hug him.

"It's a high-level disguise, my God, I don't see any falsehood at all. Lao Bai, how about you sell me this technology? As the reward for your sale this time? "This fat man is the president of the Dayuan Chamber of Commerce, Wen Yuan.

A black marketeer, a gang leader, and the hidden controller of Harden's planetary station.

"I knew you were interested, and I could sell it to you. But this technology is actually an additional capability of another set of technologies, do you think you can afford the whole set of technologies? "Bai Shanglu knew how to deal with Wen Yuan, and he and Kun Wu had discussed it from the beginning.

It is impossible to give the treatment chamber technology obtained from Hongdong to outsiders, there are not only programmable atom aggregate technology, but also more things that are not suitable for the public eye.

However, Bai Shanglu and Kunwu still picked out some useful things from it, and this was their capital.

Wen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Come in, please come in!" ”
