Chapter 43: The Star That Never Sleeps

When Yang Yi came to the cockpit, Lin Feng was standing in front of the console, and outside the porthole was a colorful starry sky.

"Arrived?"

Lin Feng nodded and made a booing gesture towards Yang Yi, telling Yang Yi not to say anything.

"'Lafeng', this is the Confusing Star Spaceport Dispatch and Command Center, please follow the instructions to land on the 7744th tarmac."

"Roger, turning to Tarmac 7744." It was Aaron who answered.

"Lafeng" is the "Shadow", the name taken by Yang Yi. In addition, the appearance of the ship has also changed, the bow is painted with a monster with teeth and claws, and the hull is even more colorful, no matter how you look at it, it is a small fast ship with many hairs in the vicinity of the Greenwich meteorite belt. This small spaceship, which can carry a load of less than 1,000 tons, can jump in space, and can reach a tenth of the speed of light at the fastest is a favorite of mercenaries and pirates.

As for this name, Yang Yi felt that since he wanted to dress up as a male and female thief in the outlaw Star Sea, he naturally had to be a little more popular.

In order to slow down, the "Shadow" has turned its bow. Although there is a thrust reversing system, which does not require turning the bow of the ship to slow down, the mercenaries and pirates will try to reduce the weight of the ship in order to maximize the acceleration of the ship, and will not install additional equipment such as the thrust reversing system. In this way, before landing, the stern of the boat must be aligned forward, and the propulsion system must be slowed down to land smoothly on the platform.

"Let's go change our clothes." Lin Feng has already changed into the "pirate uniform" that was rushed out. Inside is a leotard leather jacket, and on the outside is a trench coat with a few patches, with long wavy hair dyed red, which is simply vivid with the fierce female pirates in the movie.

By the time Yang Yi had changed his clothes, the "Shadow" had already flown above the landing platform.

The spaceport is in geosynchronous orbit on Confusing, the same as it was when it was built 4,000 years ago, with the only change being the replacement of the radiation barrier with a Forcefield shield.

The apron is completely exposed to space, but is protected by a strong field shield.

When he came to the door of the cabin, Lin Feng looked Yang Yi up and down, looking like he couldn't help laughing.

"Laughing at what?"

"You didn't look in the mirror when you changed your clothes?"

"I'm not you, even if it's a handsome guy who fascinates thousands of girls, I won't be so beautiful that I can be alone in front of the mirror when I have nothing to do."

"You're the one who fascinates thousands of girls?"

"What, isn't there a charm of a mature man?"

Lin Feng really couldn't help it now, she had seen a thick-skinned man, but she had never seen a thick-skinned man like Yang Yi.

Now Yang Yi is dressed as a middle-aged uncle, with a pair of wide canvas jeans on the lower body, a jacket on the upper body, a nondescript military belt tied around his waist, several large shotguns inserted on one side, a large-caliber pistol pinned to the other side, and a dagger on the right side. Even more eccentric, a one-eyed dragon, with a pair of multi-purpose glasses that clasped the blindfold around his left eye, and a wrinkled face on his dark face.

It is indeed an uncle, and he is at least forty-five years old.

It's just that the two of them are standing together, a pair of male and female thieves, and absolutely no one will doubt their identities.

"Don't laugh, be serious." Yang Yi was also a little unbearable, regretting that he proposed to dress up as a male and female thief, if he pretended to be a pair of elopement lovers, how much would it be.

"Take it." Lin Feng handed a cigar to Yang Yi's hand.

"It's ......"

"Hold it in your mouth, don't smoke it."

Yang Yi glared at Lin Feng, but still put on his cigar.

At this time, the hatch opened.

Seeing the scene outside, especially the bewildering star below the spaceport, Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and the cigar in his mouth almost fell off.

"Haven't been here before?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Yang Yi froze. The bewildering star in front of him was completely different from what he had heard and seen on TV and in movies.

Where is this chaotic borderland, it is simply the most developed planet of the Human Federation, and it is no worse than the Yanhuang Star.

It's a planet and it's a city.

The spaceport is on the back side of the planet, and the planet below is brightly lit, and even if it is tens of thousands of kilometers away, you can clearly see the high-rise buildings that towering into the sky. There are no mountains, no oceans, no rivers, no lakes, no grasslands, no deserts, no glaciers, only buildings, all kinds of man-made buildings and roads extending in all directions, and the whole planet is a city.

Of course, this is a city that never sleeps, and it can also be said that it is a star that never sleeps.

In fact, the star is not large, it is about the same as the moons in the home galaxy, the volume is only one-thousandth of the Yanhuang star, and the surface area is only one-tenth of the Yanhuang star.

"Let's go, I'll take you to open your eyes."

"You've been here before?"

"Once, but only a few years ago." Lin Feng walked out of the spaceship. "Don't make a fuss, we won't be surprised by who we are now."

Yang Yi nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

At this time, Aaron's voice sounded in his ears, which was talking to Yang Yi through a wireless headset, giving Yang Yi a brief introduction to the situation of the Confusing Star.

Orbiting a red dwarf, Confuser is the only planet in the star system, and the star system is dying out with the main-sequence star. It's a long process, about a billion years later, before the star falls into a gravitational trap when the main-sequence star explodes. Located about 100 light-years from its home galaxy and less than 5 light-years from the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, Delus is at the outermost level of the Human Federation.

More than 4,000 years ago, the first colonists came to the planet. The conditions were extremely difficult, and the colonists all lived underground and mined minerals for a living. It wasn't until after the end of the First Greenwich War that the Federation of Humans established a military presence here. Shortly thereafter, a vein of rare metals was discovered, and the star ushered in its first boom. However, this boom lasted less than 300 years before ending with the exhaustion of mineral resources. Because during the Second Greenwich War, Delus was one of the few colonized planets that was not attacked and became a place of refuge, so it ushered in a second boom period during this period, and it has remained until now.

"During the five Greenwich Wars, Delus was the only planet under the control of the Human Federation that had not been ravaged by the war. This is also the main reason why the Confusing Star has been able to maintain its prosperity and become the trading center of the North 4th District after the resources have been exhausted. ”

"Never been devastated by war?"

"Never." Aaron replied in the affirmative.

Yang Yi looked at Lin Feng, obviously not believing Aaron's words.

"It's not just the trade center of the North Fourth Side, it's also the largest black market near the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, and it's not just the Galactic Alliance that's active here."

"You mean ......"

Lin Feng nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, and Yang Yi also closed his mouth.

Lin Feng's words explained Yang Yi's doubts. Since it is a black market, it is naturally mixed. The Galactic Alliance needs the resources of the Northern Alpha System, and the Silicon Alliance also needs the resources of the Southern Alpha System. In peacetime, it was impossible to plunder through war, and the black market became the main channel.

Unless the Silicon Charm Alliance has the confidence to conquer the entire Southern Alpha System in one fell swoop and completely wipe out the Galactic Alliance, it will not cut off this channel for obtaining valuable resources.

A short time later, the two arrived at the transportation transfer station of the spaceport.

There are no rail elevators, so you have to take the air and space car to the ground.

"Be careful, don't show your flaws, this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Third War Zone." Lin Feng reminded Yang Yi in a low voice.

The star is in the westernmost part of the human federal territory, within the jurisdiction of the second war zone, and the people of the third war zone are not very popular here.

Fortunately, the people waiting to go to the ground were all people from the three religions and nine ranks, and they were all dressed exaggeratedly, and Lin Feng and Yang Yi were not conspicuous in the crowd.

Soon, an air-space transport vehicle capable of holding hundreds of people arrived, and passengers began to board in turn.

"Colonel, Second Lieutenant, I've uploaded the local laws of the Confusing Star to your light brains. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the ground, so you can use that time to take a closer look and familiarize yourself with the local laws. If it's not necessary, it's best not to break local laws. ”

Hearing Aaron's words, Yang Yi and Lin Feng's brows jumped a few times.

While waiting for the Sky Vehicle, they noticed that the mercenaries and pirates who looked unruly were following the rules one by one, and they did not look like lawless people at all. When getting in the car, these guys also know the rules, and none of them stepped forward to cut in line.

Could it be that they did so because they were afraid of violating the local laws of the Confusing Gods?

After getting into the car, the two went to the innermost corner.

Without Lin Feng's advice, after Yang Yi sat down, he called up the legal provisions sent by Aaron. After a quick browsing, Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

"See for yourself, it's an interesting place."

Lin Feng didn't ask much, took out the monitor of the light brain, and quickly browsed it.

There are only nine local laws in total, all of which are used to regulate the behavior of individuals, and the punishment for violating the law is exactly the same: a lifetime ban from entering the planet.

This punishment may seem innocuous and painful, but it can be fatal for mercenaries and pirates.

If you can't come to confuse the gods, where can you go to sell the stolen goods?

It's no wonder that those arrogant mercenary pirates are so duty-bound, and they have no place to sell their stolen goods, so they can't sell the treasures they have won desperately, and they won't even have money to eat when the time comes.

When the two of them couldn't help but laugh, there was a quarrel in front of them.

At the door of the air and space transportation car, several strong men wearing sunglasses were clearing the field, and although the passengers in the first few rows were very angry, they did not dare to fight against the strong men, but they were only verbally reckless. When Yang Yi and Lin Feng looked up, a young man in a white dress happened to walk in. That look of love and disgust showed that he was in a bad mood. Before sitting down, he also said a few words to a middle-aged man who followed behind.

It was a little far away, and Yang Yi didn't hear it clearly, but judging from the middle-aged man's face, it was definitely not a good word.

"How is he!?"

Hearing Lin Feng's muttering, Yang Yi turned his head. Before he could react, Lin Feng put his arms around his neck and shrank into the corner at the same time.

Which part of this is playing?

Lin Feng's sudden enthusiastic move made Yang Yi speechless in surprise.
