Chapter 235: The Gate of the World
Guided by the bright outbound guidance beam of Kuiper Station, the Giant Turtle Rock Patrol Ship left Starport smoothly and quickly, and now it is rapidly exiting the sheltered area of this civilian port. Hao Ren turned on the autopilot and didn't have anything to do with himself, so he came to another control platform and switched the display mode around the bridge, the holographic image that originally displayed various parameters and space station broadcast information quickly receded, and the alloy armor plate in front of the bridge seemed to become transparent to show the real scene in space outside: there was only a vast darkness around, the stars twinkling in the distance, and below the side of the picture was the fast-moving space station building - the spaceship was adjusting its orientation.
Lily will fiddle with the seat and the unclear equipment next to her, jump down from the seat and go around in circles, and stare at the starry sky outside and sigh, infinitely happy in the limited space, anyway, the main engine of the spaceship has intelligently locked all the key control panels, except for the captain, no one else can control any equipment here, and Hao Ren will let this Erha run around. Vivien looked at the distant stars and sighed, "I've been yearning for the stars for a long time...... I told you, I almost hung myself on an American rocket and wanted to go to outer space to see what the stars were like, but I didn't expect it...... Today, that dream has come true. β
Hao Ren looked at Vivian curiously: "You are really an alternative, do other vampires dream of going to space like you?" β
"Most of them are stupid, sick-headed, and short-sighted," Vivien made no secret of her disdain for most of her kind, "and all day long she knows nothing but the pursuit of her own power." Or in the midst of those troublesome banquets and ceremonies, no one has ever looked up at space. What a world out there. I don't know why, but I'm just yearning for the stars. Like you humans, you yearn for the ability to travel through the stars...... Maybe I was born with bigger wings than others? β
Hilda sat next to Vivien, her face visibly darkened when she heard about the starry sky, but no one around her noticed.
Lily couldn't stay on the bridge for a while, and after asking what areas of the spaceship she could move around, she asked Hao Ren for a map and jumped out, saying that she wanted to explore this high-tech thing, Yizax looked at the direction where Lily ran out and said to Hao Ren, "It's okay to let her run around like this, right?" This is not the place to be a joke......"
"It's okay, it's okay," Hao Ren has long experienced these crazy high-tech, he has full confidence in the intelligence of the ship's main engine and digital terminals, and he firmly believes that this spaceship can provide any passenger with 100% free movement environment. "All the key parts are secured, and there are squid-like autonomic machines patrolling the ship, and Lily can't break things if she just runs around."
Yitzhax shrugged: "Sometimes you're too used to her. β
"Nonsense, huskies are not used to that kind of virtue, okay?"
At this time, the gate at the entrance to the bridge made a soft noise, and Lily ran around and jumped back again, and the girl had a change of clothes, and I don't know where it came from, it was a white base, blue trim, with light gray decorative lines, and a men's uniform that was obviously one size larger than Lily's whole person. The husky can't even put his hands out of this dress. When she walks, her trousers drag the floor, looking funny and cola, but she is still elated: "Landlord, landlord, you don't look like a female captain......"
Hao Ren was stunned: "Where did you find this dress?" β
"I don't know!" Lily tugged at the waist of the oversized uniform, "I met a squid mopping the floor at the crossroads. I asked him if he had any cool airsuit on the ship, and he brought me this ......."
The number of jΓΉ terminals was enjoying the pleasure of commanding a starship in the card slot, and only then did he lazily distract himself and explain to Hao Ren: "It's your captain's uniform." There are more than 200 sets in the warehouse, and because they are not important materials, anyone with visitor permission can receive them. β
Hao Ren nodded. Then he reacted: "What do you mean by more than two hundred sets?!" β
The number jΓΉ terminal replied without hesitation: "So that you can wear it until you die." β
At this time, Lily was still jumping up and down happily, and Vivian got her new clothes: "Do you think handsome or not?" Do you think handsome or not? β
Vivien twisted her face and ignored the second thing. Hao Ren looked at Lily's actions with emotion: he vaguely remembered that he saw the animated version of Battlestar for the first time in elementary school, and for a while, like Lily, he longed for such a starship uniform that was either silly or auspicious, and imagined himself as a spaceship repairman or a captain or a fighter pilot or something else that could appear on the main cast - in summary, Lily is really an innocent and cute girl......
Lily made a fuss for a while and then quieted down, lying on her seat to look at the stars, but soon she had no stars to see: the spaceship had completely left the celestial dense zone, and now switched to faster-than-light cruise mode, and the starlight on the outside reality was distorted for a while, and then quickly formed the bizarre tubular channel that occurred when the redshift-blueshift phenomenon occurred, and with the humming of some equipment in the depths of the spaceship, the space around the spacecraft finally closed completely, and the distorted starlight disappeared, leaving only pitch black.
"The next station is the gate of the world, and it won't take long." The sound of the terminal reached everyone's ears through the bridge broadcast.
Lily lay on the seat for a while, and suddenly stretched out her hand to Hao Ren: "Landlord, do you have a laptop or something like that?" β
"Just install a plug-in on the control desk in front of you," Hao Ren glanced at Lily strangely, "but what do you want a laptop for?" β
"I feel emotional, I want to write something," Lily said earnestly, "I still owe the magazine a manuscript." β
Hao Ren asked the terminal to switch the control table in front of Lily to the corresponding mode, and muttered with a strange expression: "Why do you feel so wrong when you say you want to write something......
Lily was as happy as she was from the moment she got on the ship...... Don't be the same, she's all huskies, do you need any extra adjectives, anyway, her image doesn't look like she can be associated with literati and ink writers, but Lily herself doesn't think so, she put on a king-size uniform and nested in a wider seat, with a serious expression and began to outline her words, and at the same time argued with Hao Ren: "Landlord, you are looking at people from the outside, don't you know that people who really sink their hearts into writing are more or less crazy, Those who have to burn a pot of incense before writing, listen to a light music, and insist on writing with an old Shanghai pen are pretending, and they can't sell articles, so they can only package themselves as performance art, and then go to schools around the world to attend conferences and earn appearance fees. The real text should be true to the temperament, only by maintaining a free heart can I write a smart article, I just indulge in the wanton in order to maintain my vigorous creative ......"
Vivian couldn't listen anymore, and knocked on the armrest of the seat hard: "Can you not be so hypocritical when you write a dog column for a pet magazine?" β
Hao Ren: "......"
Lily suddenly exploded: "Who said I can only write a column about raising dogs!" Back then, when the Republic of China was in the country, I also wrote lyrical essays and progressive essays, okay! It's just the past two years that I've noticed that dog owners are becoming more and more willing to write for pet magazines......"
It didn't take much time, as the route was very direct, from Kuiper Station to the Gate of the World, and the ship arrived at its destination while Lily was busy analyzing the latest dog food brands in her article.
The Gate of the World, a unique facility built by the Xiling Divine Department, as the name suggests, is a gate used to travel to other worlds. Unlike space jumping within this universe, jumping from one universe to another has extremely high technical requirements: the two universes often differ in basic rules, some worlds don't even have the four basic forces - they rely on other rules to maintain the entire universe, and the endless void between the universes is also a moat for most mortal races, so sailing across the world is unattainable for most civilizations. The Apostles of Hiling had the ability to travel across the world, so in order to facilitate the management of the macro world, and also to facilitate the exchange of many civilizations under their rule, they built this magnificent facility called the "World Gate" in each universe of the macro world.
There are two types of World Gates, those built on the surface of the planet for small-scale movement of people, and the one that is built in space as a giant device that allows an entire fleet or even an entire planet to jump into other universes. Hao Ren has now arrived at the gate of the second world.
When the warped space outside the spaceship returned to its original state, the starlight once again appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the miracle building that had only been known by its name appeared in front of Hao Ren for the first time. (To be continued......)
