The gas giant, named the 'quadruple star', is the largest star in the parent galaxy except the sun, it not only has a very weak luminous ring, but also dozens of natural satellites of different sizes and characteristics, which rotate around it in different orbits.

The largest of them is close to the diameter of the Death Star, and has a greater density, and even the smallest of them is several times larger than the Magic Moon.

These constellations of satellites were named by the elves according to simple numerical rules such as 'four guards and one', 'four digits and tens', and 'four digits twenty-three', which had no romance at all and no connotation at all;

Just as they were on their home planet, with simple and crude names such as 'Headquarters', 'Inner North City', and 'Outer North City', it seemed that the appearance of titles like 'Purgatory Star' and 'Death Star' was an accident......

At this moment, most of Shaty's attention is focused on the master's piloting of the spaceship, but there is still a small half of it that is always attracted by the scenery of the outside world;

In particular, the large and colorful figure that is still very distant in the relative position, but is still extremely conspicuous in the field of vision, is the core main star of this region, the 'four-orbited star'.

In its orbit, there are not only natural star rings composed of fine dust, but also many acquired 'stars' that can be known as elves at a glance;

And the number of them seems to be no less than a hundred in the area that Shadi is now on and can see.

Judging from the scale provided by the spacecraft's field of vision, that is, each of them is a large creature with a main body diameter of more than a kilometer, which is firmly in a relatively stable orbital position under the effect of a constant position, and extends down towards the direction of the four-orbited star atmosphere, and a cyclone visible to the naked eye is constantly sucked into its front, the funnel-like suction cup.

In addition, in the vicinity of these 'thousand-meter-level tentacle spacecraft', dozens of relatively small big-bellied spaceships can be seen, which are going back and forth between the 'tentacle spacecraft' and the dozen or so large space stations behind them, seemingly always busy, constantly transporting something;

At this point, Shaty's gaze turned to the direction of the super-giant space station......

Undoubtedly, these are some of the larger sea urchin-like elven structures, and in the 360-degree area of their three-dimensional level, dozens or hundreds of 'spike protrusions' are stretching;

Among them, almost half of the positions are moored at this time with spaceships the size of Shadi's feet, and in the deep tunnels that go straight into the main structure of the space station between those 'spikes', there are still small or medium-sized spaceships and vehicles entering and exiting;

And just looking at the direction of its flight, it seems that it is heading towards the 'four guards' where the 'main base' is located......

Combined with what she had learned, Shaty quickly clarified what these large and small spaceships actually were;

The kilometer-level tentacle spacecraft that are constantly around the 'Quadruple Star' are the true source of the base's most important output, and they are drawing massive amounts of Element 1, several isotopes of Element 1, and Element 2 from the atmosphere below;

Among them, the isotope of element 1 and element 2 are undoubtedly the fusion energy required for the magic moon;

The main body of Element 1 is an important supply for the Infernal base, and it is an essential raw material for the production of water and other materials there.

Shaty's own fleet, and the same type of spacecraft that are docked on the space station, are the carriers used to transport these outputs, and at almost every arrival window, it will be as busy as an interstellar airport as described in science fiction.

When these transport ships come here, they will generally carry heavy elemental fuel rods from the Death Star processing plant, as well as some life supplies from the home planet, and the rest of the purgatory' 'elemental fruits' that are lacking in the stars here or difficult to mine to support the engineering production of this side.

And these various materials that have been sent in different categories are the lifeline of the main base of the fourth orbit and the large and small elven creations in the surrounding airspace that can maintain their own operation and production capacity.

In addition, I heard that the Republic has plans to build a new magic moon here, not only to maintain the operation of the farthest base, but also to plan it as a forward base and supply center for future exploration and development of the outer orbital area of the solar star.

First of all, the small ships that are traveling between the tentacle spacecraft and the space station will be responsible for producing and transporting the liquefied elements of the quad-orbital star to the space station for storage;

And since it is the peak season of the window, this section of transportation will end here, and these outputs will be directly replenished from the space station to the interstellar transport ship;

However, when the window is not in the right season, there will be an additional step of sending it to the surface base for storage to reduce the burden on the space station.

In addition, the relay spacecraft that depart from the space station to the Siwei 3 base are responsible for sending the crew of the fleet to the surface for rest or visit, and are also responsible for sending the materials produced by the surface base, such as engineering equipment and water, to the space station and various spacecraft.

~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, under Shadi's somewhat nervous gaze, the transport team was led into the area where the predetermined orbit was located by the invisible waves, and the brain structures of the two sides also resonated at this distance, and under the gaze of the internal and external supervisors, they cooperated to complete the follow-up work.

It can be clearly seen that the front of the spike-like protrusion of the space station has begun to deform at the moment, revealing the intricate mechanical structure and totemic inscriptions inside, which are attracting the approach of the spacecraft and correcting the details of its path;

At the same time, the spacecraft that Shatie was riding on had already slowed down and come to a relative halt due to the reverse thrust, and was now relying solely on the traction of pure multi-directional gravity to maintain its own externally controlled mobility.

Later, as the ship slowly approached, it completed the indentation of the propulsion (braking) engine at the front end, and formed an inner and outer double-layer structure in its original position, one open and one closed, and the slight hull vibration that came later was a sign of contact.....

Another moment passed, and Shaty finally knew the result of the whole process from the perception of the fusion and the sound of the prompt sound inside...... Nature is undoubtedly a success.

"Hoo ......"

The obvious sound of relief came from the side, and I saw the old master stretching his waist for a long time, and said with a lazy sigh,

"Ahh

！ It's finally time to take a break! ”

At this point, his massive body seemed to be completely devoid of bone support, and he leaned completely against the seat in a somewhat comical feeling of Shaty;

At the same time, more than a dozen tentacles made of hair, as if automated, as if manipulated, extended to all parts of its body, and began a massage that did not know whether it was useful or useless.

At least, it's completely useless in Shaty's eyes.....

After all, the master's body looked like a rock and metal, and the ends of the hair were flexible and playing with the 'massage', and she was skeptical about its effect.

Of course, Shaty didn't care too much about it, and she made up her mind that she would never become such a metal bump in the future.....

And at the moment, there are actually other things she cares about most, and she immediately asked them,

"Uncle, how long can we stay this time?"

Although it was mentioned during the training, there are too many uncertainties in interstellar travel, just like this time I added a transit to a Death Star base, and many things have to be improvised;

Therefore, she was not quite sure at the moment and asked the master.

"It didn't take long...... It's only about 3 home star days, after all, we spent a little too long along the way; ”

Holding a tentacle to his head, the old master pondered the current situation and corresponded to his own experience,

"If we don't want to waste more than a year here, or if we don't want to extend the trip several times over, then we'll have to rush back at the end of the window, and we'll have to spare some extra time to deal with the unexpected."

Hearing this, Shaty nodded, and then asked with a little apprehension and expectation,

"Can I go outside and have a look? I'd like to go and see the space station, if it's possible.... I also want to go around the surface base. ”

"The space station doesn't matter, but the surface base ......"

The master was obviously a little hesitant about the latter, and he wanted to refuse, but Xu felt that this was a little too harsh on the little girl, so he finally groaned and chose to agree....

But even so, he also earnestly instructed,

"Although there are also regional formations in the base, you still need to adjust the body inscription protection according to the rules first, and turn it on immediately if something unexpected happens...... Got it? ”

"Uh-huh, I understand."

Siweisan has an extremely low temperature environment, with an average temperature of 109 absolute degrees in the equatorial region and a terrifying 49 absolute degrees in the polar regions.

Although this is still not worth mentioning compared to the 3 absolute degrees of the universe, in the absence of spaceship protection, in case there is a slight mistake in the base, the consequences are definitely beyond the strength of the elf body.

Therefore, she nodded very obediently to this request, but the master still seemed to be relieved......

Therefore, he not only reiterated the instructions he had said before, but also exhorted again,

"Let me check it again after the setting, you have to prevent you little ghost from making a mistake and finally freezing yourself to death, and then it will be a tragedy for you and me."

"Uh-huh, I see~"

Shaty was still obedient, and the companion beast 'Tiana', who was inseparable from her on any material and spiritual level, also began to synchronously bless her with a pre-activated cryogenic protection inscription at the elf level according to the 'Surface Activity Code';

After that, light golden lines gradually climbed up to her purple skin, and from the tips of her hair to the soles of her feet, from the inner bones to the external muscles, and even the brain and blood, etc., all completed the inscription inch by inch.

At this time, I saw the old master come forward, link the two plexus braids, and after carefully confirming their scale and shape, he nodded with satisfaction and said,

"Then you can go by yourself, I have to check the energy surplus of the fuel rods here, and I have to pay attention to the progress of unloading and loading, so I won't hang out with you this time."

"Ah......h

In Shadi's understanding, all the above steps should be carried out by the intelligent brain of the space station and the spacecraft, and the joint two-way inspection in fully automatic mode;

In the previous trip, it was rare to see the master personally go to the scene to verify this aspect, otherwise she would not have been able to make the same request as 'skipping the post' at this time;

So, when she heard that there seemed to be so much more to do, she hesitated a little and thought, 'Let's stay and help.'"

"It's okay, the main mission is still on the side of the space station's brain, and I, the captain, stayed just in case;"

The old master's big iron pot-like hand stroked her head, and explained in a very gentle tone that seemed to be urn-like, but actually very gentle,

"It won't help you to stay, and after all, it's the first time I've come here, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to see the scenery outside the home planet with my own eyes, so just go~"

"Hmm.... So I'm really gone? ”

"Ha, what am I teasing you for? Hurry up. ”

Eventually, she happily left the control room and entered the station along the newly formed access point.

The follow-up things Shaty is actually very experienced, after all, the design ideas of the space station of the Republic are very similar......

And here, although it is one of the more huge ones she has seen along the way, she still easily found the traffic car near the connection point, and followed its fixed line to the innermost main part;

Then, after a general tour and a focus on structures that the rest of the stations didn't have, she rode the relay vehicle to the surface, along with a few other interns who appeared to belong to the rest of the fleet, to the direction of the surface base.

~~~~~~~

The diameter of the four sylados is 3098 km, the mass is about 4.63x1022 kg, the average density is about 3.045 g/cm3, the distance from the orbiting host star is about 670,000 km, the orbit is close to the perfect circle, a period of 3.5 parent star days, the eccentricity is only 0.009, and because it is tidally locked, there is a hemisphere always facing the host star.

At the same time, it is a very bright and very active rocky star inside, and its base composition is very similar to that of the elven parent star......

But if that's all it means, it can't be described as 'very special', because stars like this are very common in the home galaxy;

The reason why it is 'special' is that it has a large amount of water of unknown origin on its surface, and the known range is second only to that of the parent star......
