Chapter 2 A Surprise Discovery
Looking at the completely unfamiliar star field around him, although he knew that it was unlikely that the robber would catch up, Mu Xun, who was cautious by nature, still opened his mouth and asked, "Old man, is there still a signal from the yellow-haired spaceship nearby?" ”
"According to the signal of the Drip Man spacecraft just recorded, there is no signal from him in the nearby 1/3 of the star range." The old butler's tone was still unwavering.
"Got it!" Mu Xun's last hanging heart also let go, after all, the most broken spaceship is more than 5 times faster than this flying machine, once that yellow hair is determined to chase, there is still more than half a chance to catch it. "Will the signal from the next station be detected?"
"Yes, according to the received signals, the next star station closest to here is the Jiangma Star Station, which belongs to the northern region of the Yanchen Galaxy." The image of the old man disappeared from the curtain of light, and was replaced by a large, irregularly spherical black building that glowed softly, so large that it would not be too much to call him a star, and it was just a decent star station. On the outside of the ball, circular moorings of different sizes protrude out and are lit up with colorful lights for guidance. And in the outermost part, there is a layer of almost transparent light curtain that wraps the entire sphere, which should be the energy shield. He is different from the energy shield of the aircraft in that it also has the effect of isolating the external vacuum environment and locking a certain proportion of the air filled inside. "In the next month, the flagship Langyun in the northern region of the Yanchen Galaxy will dock at Jiangma Star Station for rest, and provide boarding and play, which can be enjoyed for only 998 stars ......of silver."
"Stop......" The lazy voice interrupted the old butler's introduction, "I didn't let you even receive the advertisement, tell me how long it will be before it arrives!" After Mu Xun finished speaking, he shrank into the soft chair in front of the protective glass.
"The distance is 3 stars, and it is estimated that it will consume 12 stars of silver, and it will arrive in about 36 hours."
"Got it. You can turn off the internal light source" He began to fall silent as he looked at the starlight that seemed to be on hand outside the protective glass, and his eyes gradually became empty without emotion, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
As a resident of a remote star in the center of the Morning Galaxy, he was lucky, at least much luckier than the inhabitants of the East and South Sectors. These two districts are bordered by the hostile Meteor Galaxy, and the lives of ordinary residents have not been peaceful. Fortunately, it was only hostilities, not escalating into war, and the inhabitants of these two districts were accustomed to all kinds of unknown deterrent attacks.
And he has lived in the central area since he was a child, and his biggest dream is to drive the flagship to sweep the world! Although it later became a Pegasus, a Night Stalker, and finally a Falcon.
As for him now, he thinks that the flying machine is very good! After all, he couldn't afford anything other than this flying machine that didn't know how many hands he had......
He smiled self-deprecatingly, then closed his eyes, feeling his body slowly absorb all kinds of starlight, and then transform it into the energy he needed. The only thing in the world that is free is to replenish your energy.
Because my personality has been more lively and active since I was a child, I don't like to settle in one place. Therefore, no matter what Mu Xun does, it will not last long, let alone earn enough star coins, but fortunately, there are many jobs, and although the skills are not refined, they have mastered some. Later, when I went to work in a second-hand aircraft, I suddenly became casual, so I spent almost all my savings to buy the only flying machine I bought, and started my own journey through the universe......
"There are still 5 minutes to Jiangmaxing Station, and according to the prompts, we will stop at the No. 754 aircraft berthing in Area C!" The stereotypical and serious voice remembered that it was so out of place under a starlight, and it instantly broke the aesthetic artistic conception and made Mu Xun sober up.
When he arrived at Jiangma Star Station, he had to start facing an extremely serious problem, there were no star coins! And the relationship between star coins and power energy is inseparable, and the ratio of 1 star silver to 1 energy seems so cruel to him at this time!
"Why don't you get a job first?" It's just that this idea was dispelled as soon as it came out, and although this cosmic adventure didn't last long, it was really difficult to integrate into the regular life again. "Let's go visit the flagship of the Langyun first, maybe I still have a chance to sneak away!" The more Mu Xun thought about it, the more excited he became, and as soon as he was excited, he felt that something was feasible, so he set off!
"I'm very sorry, please take back your identity card, and visit the flagship of the Langyun with a minimum ticket of 998 star silver" A tiger-headed ticket inspector reminded with a smile, as if he had seen through Mu Xun's dilemma at the moment, and deliberately raised the words "998 star silver" a few degrees of voice.
"Hmph, I don't watch it yet!" Putting the identity card back into his empty trouser pocket, Mu Xun comforted himself, "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin...... Well, I wonder what it's like to be hungry. ”
He comforted himself silently in his heart, and then turned around and left proudly, ignoring the shocked eyes of the conductor and the whispered discussions from time to time in the long queue waiting for him to leave.
The wide ticket hall seems so small at the moment!
Walking back to the aircraft parking lot and returning to the dilapidated flying machine, Mu Xun pressed the door button fiercely! "I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassed! Ahhh How can the ticket inspector speak so loudly! Let the whole hall know the fact that I don't have any money! Mu Xun took off his black shabby windbreaker, covered his head directly, and whispered to himself: "Well, you can't just forget it!" I'm going to get back on the field! ”
"But he's not wrong!" The old butler's voice was very uncomfortable, and he expressed something extremely wrong, "You are indeed poor! ”
"You!" Mu Xun sat on the operating chair angrily, and then made a mess in the light curtain, making the mess one after another. As if that weren't discouraged enough, he shouted again: "Eject the host!" ”
The back of the "......" operating chair slowly cracked, and a small tray with a smooth surface stretched out, with a dark silver cube in the center. He didn't have any complicated lines, no external light sources, and no external interfaces, just like a dull cube scrap.
Mu Xun stood up and picked up the small cube that could be held with one hand from the back of the chair, and rubbed the little thing desperately with both hands, wishing that he could be completely crushed, so that the virtual master would be in pain.
The location of the main engine of almost all aircraft is the same, because the main function of the aircraft is to serve as an attachment to the spaceship, and there are special exceptions to the requirements for mass-manufactured items, which is not realistic.
"Alas, how can this thing still be so sturdy!" Looking at the host who had not changed at all after several ravages, Mu Xun began to look at him in a daze again.
In any way, this is just an old-fashioned console with dozens of stars of silver, with only a few basic functions: translating the languages of discovered alien races, storing routes, and marking dangerous star fields....... But the route map stored in it is absolutely priceless to Mu Xun, without this host, how can he prove his travel path! Although he has just walked out of the central area of the Yanchen Galaxy, he has been robbed once.
"Well, why don't you steal a better flying machine, or even a spaceship!" Mu Xun began to fantasize about it, as for the flagship of the Langyun that was anchored in Jiangma Star, he still had self-knowledge of himself, if the flagship could even be stolen out by him, then the Yanchen Galaxy would not know how many times it had been annexed.
With the core of the main engine in his trouser pocket, he decided that he might as well take a look around the mooring of this aircraft, and maybe he could steal a better one! Although it is so unrealistic.
"Selling aircraft, selling spaceships, selling energy at low prices, recruiting spaceships" Looking at the huge advertising light curtains around the mooring, he couldn't help but feel that each star station was like carved in a mold, and the advertisements were so uninnovative!
"Hunting mission, I'm afraid of death."
"Escort mission, it seems that I need to escort!"
"Destroy the bandits, I was almost wiped out by the bandits!"
......
Turning his head to look at the constantly refreshing tasks in the huge square mission release platform set up in the center of the aircraft mooring, Mu Xun vetoed them all one by one, and muttered softly, "It's not close to people's livelihood at all!" ”
It was too difficult for him to have only flying machines.
"Eh, why is this flying machine so broken?" Mu Xun looked at a dilapidated spaceship beside him and sighed. Although the aircraft on both sides of the aisle are strangely shaped, they have one common feature, that is, they are very new. But this flying machine, even compared to Mu Xun's flying machine that he didn't know how many hands he had, looked so broken, after all, Mu Xun's flying machine flew around every day, and the "friction" just through the light curtain of the star station was enough to remove any bacteria and dust.
However, this aircraft is covered with dust, not only in addition to various deep depressions in his protective armor, but also several bottomless holes, and the protective glass on the front is showing signs of cracking, and I don't know what this aircraft has gone through.
"Is it because it's too broken, so the original owner doesn't want it? Ah, then I will do a good job and sell some parts, which has achieved the function of recycling and creating added value! I'm so noble! Mu Xun found a reason for himself, and at the same time circled around the aircraft to observe, looking for the best way to enter, after all, it is absolutely impossible to enter from the door without an identity card.
"Oh, that's not right! How can there be a railgun shell, it stands to reason that even if the shell doesn't explode, his kinetic energy is enough to destroy this aircraft, right? ”
"Eh, it doesn't seem like this damage was caused by a meteorite impact? Is it another guy who has been robbed? "Although Makihiro's protective armor for this craft is incredibly strong, he has found a good entrance. There was a huge hole in the lower right side of the front protective glass of the aircraft, which was enough for him to get into.
Mu Xun jumped up, grabbed the edge of the broken thick protective glass, and rushed straight in, rolled around and immediately stood up, and began to observe the aircraft by the light of the advertisements on the mooring platform outside.
The cabin of more than 20 square meters, there is a chair 3 meters in front of the huge protective glass on the front of the cabin, and several entrances to the sleeping cabin behind the chair, and there is a door on the right rear side of the cabin, and then there is nothing else, a decent aircraft.
"Hey, how come there are still dead people?" Looking at the shriveled creature sitting on a chair in the center of the cabin, Mu Xun let out a low sigh. He thought that the owner of the flying machine had abandoned the flying machine, but he didn't think that he had died on the flying machine. It is not difficult to guess, after all, looking at the gap in the protective glass, he knows that this aircraft has suffered a lot of damage, and when the star station is outside, the cabin should be in a vacuum because of the gap, and the creatures that can survive in the vacuum for a long time, he has not heard of it at all.
"I'm sorry, I'm offended." After whispering, he unbuckled the body's seat belt and moved it aside.
Sitting in the command chair where the corpse had just been sitting, Mu Xun asked directly, "Is the virtual butler still alive?" ”
The aircraft is not like a spaceship, because the aircraft is mainly an accessory to the spaceship, used for escape and short travel, so everyone who can enter the aircraft will be automatically given the highest level of permission. Of course, most people use their ID cards to enter through the door......
"Please wait, the Falcon-type spacecraft, numbered LYYH355417552 is undergoing a routine self-test and start-up of the main engine."
"Damn, am I going to become a rich man directly!"
