Chapter 45: Space Travel
Early in the morning, a miniature spaceship landed silently on the public square of Changsheng Road, and under the amazed and envious gaze of everyone, Xiao Bai entered the passenger spaceship of the Chai family under the guidance of the waiter of the Xiluo tribe with sleepy eyes.
I have to say that Chai Pick's hand played very well, and he specially chose a place with a lot of people to take Xiao Bai to Chai's house in a high-profile manner. During the time that Xiao Bai disappeared, no one would have thought that he had actually left Nanxing and headed for the neutral Yangma Galaxy.
"Young Master Xiao Bai, after we arrive at the airport, someone will come to pick you up, and we will be secretly transferred to the cargo airport, and from there we will first go to the Jupitus system."
On the spaceship, the Xiluo waiter who was close to him respectfully told the purpose of the trip, and his voice of "Young Master Xiao Bai" made the young man flattered and embarrassed, and a word from a big man could change his identity and fate. And when will fate be in your own hands?
"How many people are there in the Chai family who are traveling with me this time?" Xiao Bai asked.
"There are 3 people plus you." The waiter of the Xiluo clan said respectfully: "The leader of the team is Huang Qi'an, who has followed the boss for more than 40 years, he is mainly responsible for the transportation of the Chai family's goods transferred from various galaxies, and he is also the person in charge of this operation. ”
"3 people! How is it so little? Xiao Bai was speechless: "There are only 3 people in a trip to transport important goods, if you meet an interstellar pirate or mercenary group, how can you guarantee safety?" ”
The waiter's two arms are pouring wine, and the other two arms are gesturing to match the words. With a strange polite smile on his cone-shaped furry face, he said, "I'm just a waiter next to the boss, and there are some things I don't need to know." What kind of arrangements does the boss have, you can ask Huang Qi'an. ”
The waiter handed the glass that poured half a glass of sweet wine to Xiao Bai and said, "There are still 30 minutes to reach the destination, I see that you are not in good spirits, and during this time, you can rest for a while." ”
Xiao Bai took the wine glass and was speechless for a while, and at the same time felt uneasy about this journey.
……
Thirty minutes later, the spacecraft arrived at the airport in the Chai family's residential area, and Xiao Bai, guided by the attendants, walked through the dense forest and entered the Chai family building. Twenty minutes later, a hovering car carrying Xiao Bai set off from Chai's garage and drove to Chai's nearest cargo airport.
During these 20 minutes, Xiao Bai did not see Chai Chu, because he was pretending to stay in the living room, analyzing the real-time data transmitted from various business outlets. And Chai Jiamu was obviously severely grounded, quietly in the Chai family's residential area, he couldn't even hear his usual signature words, and now he was hiding somewhere, sulking alone.
After another 20 minutes, the hovering car arrived at the cargo airport, and Xiao Bai, who had already changed into the uniform of the Chai family's staff, boarded a medium-sized transport spaceship parked in the airport. Huang Qi'an has been waiting here for a long time. This rugged man, who was mainly responsible for the safety of the Chai family's goods, turned out to be a strong man at level 3 of the fighter, and he was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Xiao Bai's arrival, he never expected that the important entourage specially arranged by the big boss turned out to be just a teenager in the early stage of body refining.
Huang Qi'an frowned slightly, he really couldn't understand what role this young man could play in this dangerous journey. But he has been following Chai for more than 40 years, and he has long been accustomed to not questioning all of Chai Chu's arrangements. Facts have also proved that the decisions made by firewood pickers, who have been mixed in the Nanxing commercial field for many years, have their own reasons.
Therefore, after briefly verifying his identity, Huang Qi'an guided Xiao Bai to the room in the middle of the spaceship and said: "This is where you rest, there is a dormant warehouse in the room, and we will go straight to the Jupiter system through the wormhole in a while, and the time is about 30 minutes." I will be on duty during this time to ensure your safety. ”
The Age of Interstellar Discovery, although the problem of long-distance navigation has been solved. But the human body still can't withstand the extreme distortion of time and space when traveling through the wormhole. Therefore, after the space crossing, the most afraid of being attacked during the window period when all the personnel are dormant warehouse, so they will try to choose a safe space contact point at the beginning and start point for crossing.
From the Firebird Star to the South Star, Situ Wenbo did not need to enter the dormant chamber with his strong cultivation of Fighter Level 5, but it also caused a lot of physical load. Although the system from the South Star to the Jupiter Galaxy is much closer than from the South Star to the Firebird Star, Huang Qi'an is only level 3 of the fighter, and when he is on duty, the load on his body will increase exponentially. In fact, Huang Qi'an didn't need to do this, but Xiao Bai was an important person arranged by Chai Chu, and Huang Qi'an was on duty, which was a disguised expression of his respect and attention to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai didn't agree with Huang Qi'an's words, he looked at Huang Qi'an and said: "Captain Huang, it's just a routine journey to the Jupita Galaxy, you don't need to be on duty at all, since I promised Mr. Chai to go on this operation, you just need to treat me as an ordinary member, if you give special treatment, it may be unfavorable to the arrangement of the operation." ”
Xiao Bai paused, and then expressed the doubts in his heart, "But there are only 3 people on this journey plus a spaceship pilot, how many Chai family members are there in Jupiter?" ”
Xiao Bai's words made Huang Qi'an somewhat surprised, this young man who was valued by the big boss did not have the pride and conceit he imagined, which made him feel good. Therefore, Huang Qi'an said: "I am only responsible for the journey from Nanxing to Jupiter, so you don't have to shirk." The real danger is the journey from Jupiter to Yangma, after all, in the neutral zone, where the Federation and the Covenant forces cannot reach, any danger can occur.
There were only 3 of us in the whole operation, but after arriving at Jupiter, 15 members of the Tempest Mercenary Group will join, and they will be hired by the Chai family to carry out this mission as intermediaries, after all, in the neutral area, the reputation of the Nanxing Chai family is far less than that of these blood-licking mercenary groups. ”
"Tempest Mercenaries?" Xiao Bai said suspiciously: "I have heard of Yu Lishan's 'Gale Mercenary Group', does this one called the Gale Mercenary Group have anything to do with Yu Lishan?" ”
Huang Qi'an said with a smile on his face: "It's okay. The Tempest Mercenary Group was just formed by a group of people who admired Yu Lishan, and the leader of the group was called Xi Yuanming, who was an avid fan of Yu Lishan. But in the Southern Administrative Region, the Tempest Mercenary Group is still very famous. As for the Gale Mercenary Group, it has almost become an interstellar legend, to put it mildly, although the Chai family is very famous in Nanxing, it is far from the point of letting the Gale Mercenary Group undertake the mission. ”
Xiao Bai nodded thoughtfully. Yu Lishan, a legendary figure who came out of Nianhua Academy and is almost as famous as Li Yuchen, made Xiao Bai very fascinated. In this troubled era of war, ordinary people may not be able to contact this level of characters for the rest of their lives, Xiao Bai doesn't know whether it is lucky or unlucky, he has had an intersection with Lin Yuchen, and at the same time let his fate change. Such a strong man is not only strong from his temperament but also from his whole body, which makes people look up to him, but what kind of person is Yu Lishan?
At this moment, a soft siren sounded in the spacecraft, and it was obvious that it had reached the safe area to open the wormhole, in the Age of Interstellar Discovery, wormhole travel has become the norm, but the huge space distortion of the wormhole will cause devastating consequences to the planet, so it must be carried out in the vast uninhabited space.
Under Huang Qi'an's gaze, Xiao Bai walked into the room and lay down in the protective dormancy chamber. Although the ship's own protection is sufficient, it can still cause harm to the human body.
About 1 minute after the alarm sounded, Huang Qi'an stood outside Xiao Bai's warehouse with a serious expression, and his whole body burst out, becoming a solid protective barrier, wrapped around his body. The spaceship flying at 70% of the speed of light suddenly turned on the curvature flight, and under the action of the space-time bending generator, the spaceship generated a huge amount of energy at the speed of light, and opened a spatial node in the void.
The ship silently burrowed through the rift in space. The space bending generator constantly bends the space in front of it and expands behind the spacecraft, while the antimatter energy field is turned on to resist the antimatter and negative energy wrapped in the wormhole, preventing the spacecraft from being damaged by the annihilation of positive and antimatter and positive and negative energy.
If Xiao Bai could see the world now, he would definitely be amazed. Everything became quiet, the space was compressed and distorted, and from the perspective of the spaceship, the space that was originally separated by tens or hundreds of light years was compressed into a dense mass, and the originally empty and dim starry sky suddenly became as bright as a sea of stars.
Huang Qi'an's face was pale, struggling to resist the dizziness and discomfort of space compression, and in 30 minutes, the spacecraft would cross a distance of 6,500 light-years and reach the outer space of the Jupiter system, where it would be filled with energy and prepare for space travel on the return voyage.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
