The fat captain of the mercury tribe has been to Jingyuan City more than ten times.

Sometimes it's a rush for business, sometimes it's just a leisurely vacation.

After enough times, even if he didn't deliberately collect all the information of Jingyuan City, with Captain Fat's brain that surpassed the normal human brain of Blue Star, he could be called a treasure of that city.

Therefore, through his complicated and trivial memories, Mu Cang, who stood in the huge warp bubble space, soon clearly 'saw' the humanistic features and urban construction landscape of Jingyuan City.

It was a ...... Rely on multiple sets of giant anti-gravity engines to float in the sky.

Its planet is called Drugana, a gas giant with a diameter of 120,000 kilometers.

On its surface, it was covered for a long time with large patches of pink and purple clouds.

The two-color clouds crisscrossed thousands of miles, and at every moment they were like waves of the world, surging and tumbling against each other, shattering and merging, and finally splitting again, deriving hundreds of millions of pink and purple clouds.

The thrilling spectacle is stunning when viewed from the space and the planet's atmosphere.

Like most gas giants in the Milky Way, DeGaruna is made up of a star core and three concentric layers.

The geological core of the star, which has a radius of 6,000 kilometers, is composed of solid metals filled with ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperatures.

The second layer, immediately adjacent to this core, is the 24,000-kilometer-thick crystalline metallic hydrogen 'mantle' layer.

In this layer, the hydrogen element, which has been impregnated with [high] activity aura for countless years, has miraculously crystallized natural aura, is so dense that it resembles a real metal, and the temperature there is also at an extremely high level.

One level further up is the 28,000-kilometre-deep ocean of liquid hydrogen, which has enough pressure to crush a large warship to the size of a matchbox.

Finally, we come to the top layer, which is the atmospheric cloud layer 2,000 kilometers thick.

At the edge where the base of this heavy cloud meets the ocean of liquid hydrogen, temperatures can reach thousands of degrees Celsius.

However, in this hellish high-pressure and high-temperature environment, it is said that there is a group of intelligent creatures similar to nomads.

But what kind of life form is this group? Has there been a specific written culture? Then it is unknown.

Therefore, Mu Cang, who was in the memory picture of the fat captain, did not pay too much attention to it.

He moved his 'gaze' upwards and 'looked' through the clouds to the area where Jingyuan City existed—the planet was only two hundred and eighty kilometers away from the universe.

There, on the planet Drugana, is the habitable layer that is truly suitable for most life.

Jingyuan City was built on this floor, which was originally a spiritual crystalline metal hydrogen gathering settlement.

In a sense, Drugana is a rarity in astrophysics.

Because in the endless thick clouds of this gas giant, there is a wide and thick atmospheric domain that can be comfortably inhabited by conventional life.

The area is 175 kilometers thick, and it is very suitable for life regardless of temperature, magnetic field strength, air pressure, and even oxygen concentration.

Although oxygen is not necessary for life, at least in this galaxy, carbon-based groups that rely on breathing oxygen still make up the majority.

In this vast inhabited layer, apart from some rare gaseous wild animals, there were no intelligent races long ago.

Until 50,000 years ago, 6,000 light-years away from this star field, in the depths of the symbolic field corresponding to an unknown star field belonging to the same Orion Galaxy Spiral Arm, a section of the Broken Spirit Realm Advanced Yongdao Road, which had been abandoned for countless thousands of years, actually repaired itself after a long time for unknown reasons.

And after the function was fully restored, this section of the road instantly exploded at the speed of light at tens of millions of times, penetrating into the depths of the Boundless Star Sea.

On the way, it is connected with a number of sections of Ningbo Road in normal operation, forming an orderly traffic.

It's not all.

On the way to growth, it also linked and activated and restored a large number of abandoned roads.

As a result, an interstellar transportation network with an area of 6,000 light-years and a large number of unknown broken star fields was formed in a short period of time.

The star field in which Drugana is located is at the very end of this interstellar network.

It is the last place where the strange 'resurrected' high-level corridor arrives.

This major event immediately caused a sensation among the civilizations of the Orion spiral arm that was 20,000 light-years long.

All of this indicates that a great deal of opportunity, resources, and territory has emerged.

The hand is fast, the hand is slow.

For a time, under the guidance of interests, countless interstellar navigators, adventurers, merchants, and pirates flocked to embark on a journey to explore the unknown.

This 'feast' of exploration, plunder, appropriation and colonization lasted for 10,000 years.

During this period, I don't know how many adventurers and navigators died in the vast depths of the universe, and at the same time, more backward and broken civilizations were colonized, enslaved, sold, and even exterminated.

As the 'feast' was about to end, a group of interstellar miners assembled on an old spaceship arrived and landed on the planet Drugana.

After careful investigation, this group of early miners soon discovered the [habitation layer] and the natural spiritual crystalline metal hydrogen on the planet that was more than 20,000 kilometers thick.

So they boldly built a rudimentary, shabby, floating multi-purpose mining platform to extract this high-energy substance from the depths of Degaruna—a crystalline metallic hydrogen with an extremely high energy density that can be used as fuel for interstellar navigation.

Although this mineral resource is not strictly speaking, it is very profitable because of its large production, easy mining, and relatively easy transportation and storage.

So over the years, the small mining platform has grown bigger and more complex.

Eventually, the earliest Jingyuan City was formed.

Over the course of tens of thousands of years, after countless generations of repairs and upgrades, Jingyuan City has become a floating giant city that is firmly anchored by multiple sets of giant anti-gravity devices, suspended in the thick and softly colored clouds of the planet Drugana.

This city is home to fifteen intelligent species from all over the starry sky, dozens of common languages, and a total population of one billion.

They exchange technology and culture with each other, so that technology can develop by leaps and bounds.

Viewed from above, Jingyuan City is in the shape of a clover.

Two leaflets, one large leaf.

This also represents three different large residential areas in Jingyuan City.

The southwest and northwest regions, as well as the most extensive eastern region.

In the southwestern liquid region, three species of aquatic organisms live.

Most of these sapient species with slippery surfaces use exposed nerve bundles to communicate information.

They are adept at using their unique fluid interference superpowers, combined with sophisticated and bizarre liquid technology, to spawn 'planting' clusters of natural crystalline cobalt elements.

After the quarterly collection, these aquatic species will cut and polish the crystalline clusters through high-pressure waterjets to make various jewelry, pendants, and ornaments, which can be sold for profit.

The primary cobalt element in nature is highly radioactive and harmful to conventional life.

However, the radiating radiation field of the crystalline cobalt element cluster has a strong effect on moisturizing the body and soul of carbon-based, sulfur-based, amino-based, silicon-based, nitrogen-based and other intelligent creatures.

Especially after placing multiple groups of large cluster ornaments indoors or places, it can obviously affect the coherence of the surrounding aura, making it rise slightly, which is conducive to the absorption and tempering of the aura of the intelligent species itself. (See Chapter 82 for details of Reiki coherence setting)

In the gaseous region in the northwest, there is a low-density group of gaseous lifeforms with variable temperatures, who are the descendants of the ancient interstellar miners who founded this Jingyuan City, specializing in mining natural spiritual crystalline metal hydrogen minerals located in the interior of the planet.

Compared with their ancestors, the mining technology of these gaseous intelligent life beings is essentially the same, but it is iteratively optimized in terms of mining scale, efficiency, and tools.

From the extraction, processing, selection and packaging of minerals, to the smelting and processing of minerals, and most importantly, the maintenance and storage of minerals, it is very efficient and convenient.

Unlike the industrial front located behind the northwest urban area, the mining area where the gaseous life really extracts the crystalline metal hydrogen ore is located at the central junction of the three major urban areas.

There, at the bottom of the center of the abdomen of Jingyuan City, there is a huge building area that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, gradually transitioning into the shape of an inverted white spire, and the volume is comparable to the size of a mountain range.

One hundred and twenty-eight pairs of large traction beam generators are installed in this huge building.

The giant traction beams emitted by these massive devices serve multiple purposes: to anchor the Jingyuan city-state within the 'thin' biohabitation of Degaruna's atmosphere, to extract crystalline metallic hydrogen from the deep layers and channel it into a large refining and storage facility in the rear of the northwest city, and to bring a large amount of heat from the outside into the city's thermal energy converter array, providing additional energy use and power support for the entire city.

At the sharpest end of the inverted spire, a slender one-legged bracket is attached, with a total length of tens of thousands of kilometers, running through more than 1,000 kilometers of thick atmosphere, as well as a 28,000-kilometer-deep ocean of liquid hydrogen, and directly into the 'mantle' layer of the spiritual crystalline metal hydrogen of the planet Drugana.

The traction beam is used to extract the spirit crystal minerals through this one-legged support that is deep in a high-pressure thin tube.

This series of work may seem complicated and difficult, but compared to the early mining pioneers, today's gaseous life is much less time-saving and labor-saving, and more of the work is fully automated, so they don't need to bother at all.

Compared to their ancestors, they are happy.

In fact, for the gaseous life and many intelligent races living in Jingyuan City, the mining work is not difficult to deal with, but what is really difficult to deal with is the strong storms that often form and run rampant in the overly majestic and thick atmosphere of this planet.

These huge storms, which rolled violently and swept thousands of miles as soon as they were born, often invaded Jingyuan City.

For a long time, in order to ensure that the huge city could stand still in the storm, a huge wind tunnel was built in the center of the city connecting the three leafy urban areas, and extended to the top of the long, slender one-legged support at the bottom of the city's belly.

This huge crack like an abyss with a howling wind all the time can make the dangerous winds that pass through Jingyuan City continue to turn, and help Jingyuan City gain huge power and huge mechanical support, and can also act as an urban garbage dumping system.

In the memory picture, Mu Cang's 'gaze' left the two major urban areas of gaseous and liquid state, crossed the sinkhole-like wind tunnel, and came to the most vast east of Jingyuan City.

It is home to other conventional lifeforms, and it is also the largest and most complex area.

The city is so huge that the eastern part alone is 980 kilometers long, 550 kilometers wide at its widest point, and 130 kilometers high.

The eastern sector has a large area of covered circular landing platforms for a large number of starships to take off and land.

These are surrounded by a large square on the top floor with towering minarets on the outer ring.

In this vast and beautiful urban area, the corridors and squares are always spotlessly lit and shining, accompanied by a refreshing wind current, which can even make people feel like they are flying through the clouds.

From Mu Cang's 'perspective', the architectural style of Jingyuan City is quite similar to the classical architecture of Lanxing Ancient Europa, with many white rock columns and gray towering spires.

Elegant and solemn.

And below the large square on the top floor, there is the real 'content' of the eastern city.

There, the urban area is further divided into different levels.

Starting from the large plaza at the top of the ground floor, it is divided into the 120th floor.

The majestic height of the entire 130 kilometers, even with so many layers, still has an astonishing average height between each layer.

Starting from the top floor, the first to fifteenth floors are comprehensive commercial and entertainment areas, where there are thousands of top hotels and guesthouses; As well as large and small health care places with various methods and topics such as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, fire therapy, and magnetic therapy.

There are also thousands of themed and mixed shopping streets, as well as large nightclubs, townhouses, museums, libraries, exhibition halls and large casinos.

The fifteenth to thirtieth floors are high-end residential areas for the wealthy, managerial class such as interstellar merchants and city-state officials, covering a vast area and the poor are not entered.

The thirty-first to forty-fifth floors are the area of the Governor's Palace of Jingyuan City-State, which is magnificent and beautiful.

The 46th to 60th floors are the most dilapidated and crime areas in Jingyuan City, also known as the Grey Wharf District.

There are small and medium-sized industrial loading docks, black casinos, black bars, and many gang activity venues, and the slums of Jingyuan City are also on this level.

Floors 61 to 75 are residential areas for the common and slums, covering an equally large area, but most of them are densely packed with townhouses and tank floors close to each other.

The 76th to 90th floors are large factory areas, where many mechanical, metallurgical, and chemical factories are located, and this is also the gathering place of the dockyard factory in Jingyuan City.

Floors 91 to 105 are the economic lifelines of Jingyuan City, the Lingjing Metal Hydrogen Mineral Processing Plant and the commodity canning and sealing area, as well as the resource sales and distribution company.

Many intelligent beings who want to buy starship fuel have to come here to pay for it.

It is also a high-volume shipment point for minerals.

As for why such an important place is not in the hands of that group of gaseous life, this involves many, many historical questions.

Over the long 40,000 years, there have been many events, conflicts, bloodshed and deaths.

It can only be said that the hard work of the ancestors often does not protect the descendants, and after the interests become more and more huge, the weak are not qualified to grasp the initiative.

】

The fat captain only knew that the current Jingyuan City had been controlled by an unknown race powerhouse from the depths of the galaxy a long time ago, and it was absolutely controlled, and no one else could interfere.

In short, the gaseous miners have long since retreated from the power center of Jingyuan City, either actively or passively, and now they are only concentrating on mining minerals, and nothing else.

And further down.

The one hundred and sixth to one hundred and twenty floors are the bottom of the eastern area of Jingyuan City.

There, like the two major urban areas in the southwest and northwest, there are large tractor beam arrays and giant anti-gravity generator working group arrays.

It is the foundation that maintains the true floating and fixed position of Jingyuan City in the [Residential Layer] of Drugana.

At the same time, there are labyrinthine maglev tunnels throughout the city, running through each of the more than 100 floors.

"It's a nice place, I've got a crush on it."

Mu Cang's eyes flashed with joy, and he muttered, "What Governor Laoshizi, all good things should be returned to me." ”

Retracting his attention from the memory picture, he raised his eyes to look at the boundless sea of light in the distance at the front end of the warp bubble, calculated in his heart, and said leisurely:

"Twenty minutes to go, and we're almost there."
