Chapter 266: A Voyage to the Purple Grass Star Domain
Emerald Skirt No. 2 Starport, this is not the first time Heshia has been here, the silver metal plate has a slight echo when stepping on, and the wide starport corridor is flanked by transparent metallic glass, and you can see the vast and dark starry sky outside.
"The 'Whisper-β168' refractive wing-class starship is about to set sail, please board the ship in an orderly manner in the passage of 'C-2', 'C-4' and 'C-6'." The ethereal sound of machinery echoed through the starport, and some passengers pulled their suitcases towards the designated passageway.
In the tall inner dome of the starport, a patrol team of three autonomous units occasionally flew through the air, checking and scanning the security situation in the waiting hall, and the indicator lights on both sides of the passage flashed green, checking and scanning the creatures and objects passing through multiple times.
This time, Hesia's destination was the Purple Yaocao Star Field, which was about 2,100 light-years away from the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field, and was separated from the Four-Leaf Crystal by three Federation Star Fields.
In the past, such a distance would have been difficult to reach for the rest of its civilization, but now such a distance has finally been broken through with the development of technology, and even ordinary people can get the opportunity to travel across the star field.
The group walked through the long long-arm passage of the starport and entered the starship's boarding gate, and at this time, Hehia could also look at the starship about a kilometer long through the scene outside the window.
Different from the last time I went to the central star field to take the 'Optical Wing' class starship, this is an older model of the 'Refractive Wing' class starship, which is the mainstream passenger starship in the Federation today, and the cost has been compressed to an acceptable level due to mature technology, which can fly faster than light within 5000 light years, using a high-speed curvature engine, which means that Heshia and his party only need 20 days to travel a distance of about 2000 light years.
This was quite a breakthrough, and in the early days of the Federation, traversing a distance of 2,000 light years, the curvature engine at that time was about 200-300 days.
But what's even more amazing is the jump shuttle with the help of the Sea of Aeka, which is also the method used by the last 'Luminescence'-class starship, which can cross tens of thousands of light-years in just one day and directly reach the central star field.
However, this way of traveling in and out of the sea of Ejika is also very stressful and impactful on the passengers, and therefore requires extra strict and strong protection measures, which leads to the high cost of starships sailing in this way, and the price of a 'light analysis wing' is about 30-40 times that of a 'refractive wing'.
After entering the interior of the starship, the passengers are guided by the self-discipline unit to their respective rooms, because it will take 20 days to spend the structure of the starship is closer to that of a past cruise ship.
"I suddenly found that the interstellar voyage is still very long." Heshia entered the room and spoke casually to Avne.
In the team that went to the Purple Grass Star Domain this time, in addition to her, there were seven fourth-grade students such as Avni, as well as three leading teachers, and it is worth mentioning that Wei Ke from the Moon School of the Three Phases was also in the team.
"It's good to get used to it, when I was a child, I especially liked to ride the starship with my family, because then everyone can get together, and my dad doesn't have to work, he can chat with me and play games." Avne put her luggage away, then lay down on the soft and comfortable bed, her body bouncing up and down slightly.
After a short break, Avne sat up again, the goldfish was still wearing her favorite orange dress, and her long golden hair was scattered like a waterfall on her shoulders.
"Won't Tilan rest?" She saw that the black-haired girl was standing in front of the window at the moment, looking out at the planet of the emerald skirt.
The clouds, land, and sea on the huge planet are intertwined and slowly rotated, and there is a kind of extraordinary distantness and shocking beauty.
"It's so beautiful to see the planets that inhabit it from space." Avne came to her side and whispered in Heshea's ear.
"Yes, it's beautiful, but it's hard to realize this when you're on the earth, and sometimes you can only see it completely when you step out of that frame and constraint."
Hehia turned around and returned to her room, ready to take a shower.
"Do you want to be together?" Avne's voice came from behind her, slowing the girl's movements.
"I don't want it." Heshia was a little embarrassed.
"Hehehe, Ti Lan is still so shy, okay, okay, you go wash first, don't tease you." Avne smiled.
After that, there was a sound of water in the bathroom, first shower, rinse, and then with the help of her own convenient ability to dry, Ti Lan changed into clean and comfortable pajamas and came out.
"So fast." This is the first time Avne knows the time of Tilan's bath, it only took about 20 minutes, and she estimates that it will take an hour before and after each bath, of course, this is also because she loves bathing, after all, she is a goldfish and likes to play in the water.
After taking a shower, Ti Lan stepped on the bed, pulled the quilt away and got in, she estimated that most of the time in the past 20 days would be spent sleeping, and she also took the opportunity of sailing to rest.
Efni is no longer surprised by Tilan's behavior of sleeping in, and the only behavior that she has known in the club before that this girl does not match perfection is this.
Avni also took headphones and personal terminals into the bathroom afterwards, wrapped in a bath towel and took a glass of juice drinks and snacks to continue to soak in the bath for more than an hour before coming out, and then used the silent hair dryer in the room to dry the ends of her hair, and then went to sleep in the same way.
For the first three days, the two of them basically slept in their rooms and watched the video like this, and on the fourth day, the two of them and several other students and teachers in the same group gathered for dinner in the large dining hall on the third floor.
"Is Wei Ke still in the habit of living?" The leading teacher of Edes School Park asked with concern, because this is the only student from outside the school in the team, and he needs to take extra care.
"I'm used to it, thank you." The voice was concise, and the girl with short hair was very capable and cold, but when she was eating, she occasionally glanced at Tilan not far away.
There are suspended crystal chandeliers on the dining table, and the fine golden light shines, rendering the atmosphere in the restaurant warm and comfortable, in addition to the table of Tilan, there are more than a dozen dining tables, which are loosely separated by low partitions, scattered and distributed, and quiet self-discipline units come and go, transporting the meals ordered by the guests, and there are only a few employees at the front desk in the restaurant, guiding the direction for some elderly people, and telling the guests who come to inquire where to go.
During the meal, several teachers occasionally brought topics, but in general, everyone didn't talk much, first of all, Tilan was not a particularly talkative person, and Avni was similar to her, although the other students were lively, but several of them were also riding the cross-star starship for the first time, and they were fresh and curious and slightly restrained, and they didn't let go much.
Originally, everyone thought that this dinner would probably be uneventful, but an incident happened at the end.
A middle-aged woman in the restaurant stood up and started a big fire, probably dissatisfied with the food provided in the restaurant, and then there was no menu she wanted.
"I paid 150,000 federal dollars for your voyage, and then I'm going to eat this?" She was dressed in thick fur and carried a bag that looked like a luxury brand.
In this regard, the staff of the restaurant had to come out to explain and appease, and many other guests on the side also looked up and watched.
"It's this kind of thing again, why are there so many stupid people everywhere?" An Edes Academy student poked the steak with a fork and whispered to complain that it had disturbed his good mood.
"It's probably the first time I've taken an interstellar starship, so I'm going to have a lot of expectations." Another student analyzed.
"Forget it, I don't want to understand the thoughts of this kind of person, after eating, I still want to take a good look at the unfinished sword fighting conference video."
"How is Wei Ke eating, does it fit the taste?" The teacher questioned the girl who was not talking.
"I like it, thank you." In fact, the dishes served by this restaurant are okay, and they are considered to be good among the T5 level foods.
"Probably that woman thought that there should be a lot of free T4-level meals on the starship, but if you think about it, it's impossible."
"Just the cost of fuel and maintenance back and forth, the fare will be about the same, and this is the result of the official stabilization of prices, otherwise the price increase of the shipping company will be even worse."
"It's just that everyone is used to living in the planet, and they suddenly travel across star fields, and the pricing template used in this is too different from usual." A girl stood up, ready to calm the woman.
For this simple and kind act,Several teachers wanted to dissuade it.,But considering the guidelines of the school and the opinions of others present,It's not easy for them to hold this student hard.,You can only worry about the past.,Be prepared for mediation failure.。
"Is Tilan going?" Avne didn't really want to worry about it, but she was a student at the same school after all.
"Let's go check it out." Ti Lan didn't feel much about it.
She didn't think the girl's idea was wrong, and she understood the teachers' worries, and even the little irritability that rose in the hearts of several of her classmates.
This is life, there are all kinds of people, they will react differently to various things according to their own experiences and opinions, if you don't understand, it is easy to have a lot of emotions, but when you understand the principles behind many things, you will become much calmer.
The two walked over, and the girl was already explaining to the angry woman.
But it's a pity that the woman didn't accept it, she only felt that such a young child came to herself, so that she couldn't hold her face, and there was an illusion of humiliation, and she would keep fighting, this is human nature, instead of admitting her stupidity and mistakes, it is better to cover up the past with anger and bad temper.
However, this is also another degree of vulnerability, not daring to expose one's failures, for fear of being ridiculed, despised, and denied.
Seeing that the woman began to curse the girl who came to mediate, making the girl feel uncomfortable and want to cry, Ti Lan walked out of the crowd, gently grasped the girl's palm, and blocked her behind her.
"That's it, that's all." Her blue eyes looked at each other with burning eyes, and the voice rose in the hearts of everyone present.
This amazing experience surprised the eyes of the guests present, and then looked at the girl carefully, and soon someone recognized her, after all, there was no special makeup to cover her today.
The gentle green silk long hair, the flawless face, the strong spiritual oppression as a singer, and the huge fame and influence brought by the identity, these layers made the woman in front of her can't help but close her mouth, even if she wanted to say something, she squirmed a few times and didn't speak.
Seeing that there were more and more people around her, she suddenly felt the urge to escape, after all, this was not a glorious thing.
However, this will not leave her any room to escape, the onlookers are like forming a dense wall, making it difficult for her to find a gap and escape quickly, so she can only stand anxiously in place, some afraid to look at the eyes around her.
"I believe that Ling is also emotional, and I don't really want to hurt her, if I can, I hope to apologize to her, and then solve the problem amicably." Tilan's voice was clear and soft, suppressing the accusations and ridicule that had been set off in the audience.
With that, Ti Lan gently pulled the girl beside her and let her stand beside her.
"I ......" Looking at the scene in front of her, and the many eyes around her, the woman finally squirmed her lips and slowly said the words of apology.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my voice was a bit loud just now, in fact, what you said is right, it's that I can't stand the gap, and I shouldn't be angry with others......" she said slowly, lowering her head.
After that, seeing that she finished speaking, Ti Lan nodded slightly.
"That's it."
After that, she looked around, and the people around her who were seen by the girl, a strange feeling rose in her heart, as if the girl was talking to herself alone, straight to her consciousness and heart, and she could also feel the other party's overflowing sincere thoughts and feelings, this feeling of being understood, seen, and recognized, like a fire burning in her heart, would pull herself into that fanatical and believing emotion at any time.
"Spread out, please." After saying that, the crowd immediately retreated and separated, and taking this opportunity, the woman also took her bag and walked away quickly.
At this point, the matter was settled, although the others still wanted to talk and ask, but under the gaze of the girl, they couldn't help but obey and leave, and did not continue to surround them.
After bringing the classmates back to the table, there was a burst of applause and cheers in low voices.
"It's worthy of President Tilan, so dazzling."
"Woo, sure enough, it's still our President Tilan, so strong aura suppression."
The students in the same room gave out all kinds of praise and thanks, and Wei Ke on the side also looked straight at Tilan's every move, as if he was thinking about something.
After the end of this dinner, in the next few days, the communication between everyone was obviously much more lively, and Ti Lan also participated in everyone's dinner, walking, and practicing activities in addition to sleeping and resting.
Another night, everyone gathered in the battle room in the starship, although it was not possible to use too exaggerated power, but the exchange of swordsmanship, the movement of the body, and many students were very interested.
"The sword moves that Ti Lan just demonstrated are really powerful, and I feel like I can grab the time to practice more before the tournament starts, and try to use it when I get on the field."
Everyone held the training swords in the battle room, fighting each other, and the blades occasionally struck on the training armor, making a crisp counting sound.
Seeing that everyone finally vacated Ti Lan and did not continue to surround him, Wei Ke, who had been paying attention to it for a long time, finally couldn't help but step forward.
"Yes, can you guide me, thank you, President Tilan." She also called President Tilan along with everyone.
"Yes, you don't have to be so rusty, just call me Tilan."
For this girl who has always been cold, but at this time she is a little restrained and not frank, Ti Lan showed a soothing smile.
I don't know when she started, she has been taken care of, and now she has become everyone's dependence.
