Shang Yanwen finally embarked on the journey back to Korojia alone.

Of course he wouldn't let Lu Shaoyu follow.

As he said at parting, they are not people of the world.

He has decided to dedicate his life to great causes. Lu Shaoyu doesn't have to be like this, her life will be more exciting and leisurely, and she shouldn't go to that dim and backward place with him.

He knows Lu Shaoyu's intentions, but love may be just an impulse, and where can it be obtained for a long time?

It is his responsibility to change his hometown, he knows that the road ahead is long, there are many difficulties, he doesn't even know how many years he will pay for it, he shouldn't drag a beautiful girl with him.

His difficult journey was even directly reflected in his way back to his hometown.

It took him two days to take public transportation to the ground part of the starport of Wingstar; Then queue up to go to the star port and wait for the ship, another three days.

The alliance has now established its own interstellar transportation within the alliance system, the main force of which is the two ships of the 'Voyager II' and the 'Flying Dolphin'. The former can carry 2,000 people at a time, and the latter can carry about 80,000 people.

Both the Raging Owl Shipyard and the Winging Shipyard have received a large number of orders from the Alliance's Department of Public Transportation to produce these two types of spacecraft for use in the construction of public flights within the sector.

In the past, normal people, even many rich people, wealthy people, and high-ranking officials, did not have this opportunity to travel between star districts.

The affairs of the government are carried out by the ships of the government of the star government; Business contacts, it depends on whether each family can find a relationship, contact a force like the Gu family firm that has the ability to carry out interstellar navigation, and it must be a ship that happens to have a passing destination, and take a free ride.

A year and a half ago, the alliance's interstellar flights around the star region were officially opened. Although the ticket price is still very expensive and not the average person can afford it, this way is a big step. If there's anything that has to go to another planet, at least there's a way to do it now.

Not to mention, if it is a business or business trip, it is the government or a company that pays for the budget.

Shang Yanwen himself definitely didn't have the money to take a boat between Korojia and Flying Wings, in fact, he really hadn't gone back in the past three or four years of study.

This time when he went back, he also took the government's approval and received a free ticket.

There have been a lot of people returning to Koroga lately, and he waited in line for three days before he boarded Flight B-1733, a dolphin transport.

The condition of the ship is not too good, a compartment of about six square meters, two rows of four-story bunks, and a corridor in the middle, each bunk can sleep one person.

And there are countless such compartments, stacked in layers in the cabin.

Shang Yanwen is quite adaptable to this. Although his accommodation during college was not bad, most of his life in Koroga was not better than this.

Placing his luggage in one of the four separate public compartments under the bed, he lay down on the second floor from above.

It's very crowded here, and it can barely make Shang Yanwen sit, and if it is any higher, it will hit his head.

He took out the book he had with him and began to read.

He prepares several books for the long journey from Wings to Koroga.

The total trip, at the speed of a flying dolphin, takes six days, and he plans to pass the time by reading books.

It's just a pity that there are strict restrictions on the carrying of various items on the spaceship of the interstellar voyage, and the books are in the restricted list, and it is not allowed to bring more, and before the astral tunnel jump, all the books have to be put in the designated place for special preservation, which is very troublesome.

But Shang Yanwen still brought the most books in the prescribed range, so as not to waste every bit of time.

The ship left Starport and drifted in the void for two days.

Shang Yanwen estimated in his heart that he should be about to reach the Star Boundary Tunnel node at this time.

Although it is a 'point', it is indeed a point on the entire cosmic scale, but in fact, the transition point is a large area. As the starship gets closer to this area, the signal received by the Transition Recognition System will gradually strengthen until the signal strength exceeds the critical point, which means that the current position of the starship has reached the Transition standard. As soon as the jump engine is activated, the entire starship will move into the astral tunnel, and from the outside world, the spaceship will disappear from the real universe in an instant.

These are all the knowledge that Shang Yanwen learned from the book, including the fact that the ship is almost at the transition point now, and it is also his own judgment based on knowledge. He stayed in this box-like compartment every day, and he couldn't see or hear anything, so he could only guess.

However, the Starship's Migration Engine never started.

He was still quite puzzled, could it be that he guessed wrong?

But he soon learned that it wasn't.

In the cabin, an alarm sounded:

"We are sorry to inform you that our journey may be delayed. Recently, there have been traces of pirates around the route, and the Alliance Navy tracked a pirate two hours ago, and there is a battle taking place around the Hop Point of the Koroga system. We may have to wait for up to two hours for this and we apologize for delaying your trip......"

Oh, it turned out to be a pirate.

Shang Yanwen mentioned this incident in some news reports before.

In an editorial, Shang Yanwen also saw an opinion that he quite agreed with, the arrival of pirates is an inevitable situation.

In the past, there were no pirates in the Pegasus Zone. On the one hand, the powerful Pegasus fleet is stationed in the Star Sector, and any blind pirate group dares to come here to commit crimes against the wind, it is really dead.

On the other hand, even the Pegasus Star Region does not have a particularly large amount of oil and water. The Imperial Tax Fleet did not dare to plunder, the Imperial Caravan did have a Gu Clan Trading House, but it was difficult to capture routes, and the flights were not frequent, and the Pegasus Star Region itself was not a particularly important transportation hub area, and the income from pirating activities in the Pegasus Star Region for a long time was not high.

However, in the last year or two, things have changed a bit.

The main force of the Pegasus fleet is not there, and although the remaining ships can still form a military advantage over ordinary pirates, but the space is so vast, the pirates find an asteroid to hide, and even leave the Pegasus Star Zone to hide in other places, and no one can find them if they don't take the initiative to show up.

Moreover, due to the interconnection of the nine stars within the alliance, a large number of fixed flights began to come and go very frequently, and most of them were single ships running directly in the sea of stars, and they were targeted by pirate ships.

The pirates had a considerable expected gain.

Of course, the pirates still have no way to contend with the remaining forces of the Pegasus fleet, and if they encounter a frigate, those broken pirate ships will not be able to withstand it. However, the high profits have made those pirates dare to take risks.

In the past year, there have been a number of incidents of piracy and looting, and three coalition ships have been looted, resulting in significant losses.

And the alliance has undoubtedly taken harsh countermeasures against this.

Du Shiliang, the current acting commander of the Pegasus fleet, has issued a public apology to the public and assured that the Pegasus fleet will work hard to combat piracy and ensure the safety and smoothness of interstellar flights.

At the same time, the Ministry of Public Transport of the Union also urgently set up a special group to announce the creation of the Union Navy.

Of course, the word 'navy' was not used in the official announcements, as the citizens of the Union themselves thought. The public version is that it is the Union escort fleet.

The shipyards of Winged Star and Angry Owl have also received orders from the Alliance for the construction of warships. It is said that there are already a number of escort ships converted by the Navigator and even a number of 'Blackfish-class' fast patrol ships that have been put into use.

Three months ago, the Coalition had dealt a heavy blow to a group of pirates known as the Red Eye. A number of alliance rapid response patrol ships bit the butts of those pirates, struggled for several days, chased and rushed forward desperately without letting go, and finally dragged a destroyer of the Pegasus fleet with a detachment of several frigates to arrive, destroyed some enemies, and captured three patrol ship-class pirate ships through gang jumping tactics.

It was a big victory, and I didn't hear any news of pirates for the next three months, but I didn't expect it to be there now.

Shang Yanwen was a little nervous in his heart, but overall it was quite stable.

He believed in the ability of the coalition government, and since it did not stop the regular flights, nor did it arrange escorts for every flight, it should not be too serious.

In fact, two hours later, a new announcement was issued, saying that the piracy problem had been solved, and the ship was about to enter the Astral Tunnel, so that all passengers should not move around in the cabin, and the fulfillment time in the Astral Tunnel would last for thirteen hours.

These thirteen hours didn't feel very special for Shang Yanwen. He just felt that the hull of the ship had been shaking for about a few minutes, and they should have entered the astral tunnel.

It is said that at this time, when you look out from the ship, you should be able to see a large area of colorful and bizarre splendid pictures. Unfortunately, in the cabin he was in, he couldn't see anything.

At the same time, it is also said that even if the Astral Force Field is turned on, there may still be some unknown dangers in the ship when passing through the Astral Tunnel, but at least he did not encounter it this time.

These thirteen hours were not much different from the other thirteen hours for him, until the ship shook for another ten or so minutes, and with the announcement he heard in his ears, he knew that they had broken away from the astral tunnel and returned to the real universe.

Then, after sailing for a little more than three days, the starship ceased to act.

The bulletin said they had arrived at the port of Koroga Star.

Everyone packed up their things, left the hatch, and lined up in an orderly manner in the outside passage, according to the instructions of the staff, and went to the nearest exit, ready to leave the ship.

Flight B-1733 was a flying dolphin, and this time it carried nearly 90,000 passengers. With so many people, leaving the ship with their own things is a troublesome affair.

However, when designing ships, including the design of the starport, there is a special response to this. Shang Yanwen lined up, and after an hour and a half, he left the ship.

As he walked on the covered bridge, he could see through the glass that B-1733 was close to the side of the starport, with twenty large and small exits, scattered up and down, left and right, and connected to the starport through the covered bridge. People and goods are communicating through these bridges that can be moved in space.

It was only here that they could glimpse part of the body of the ship they were riding on through the glass window of the covered bridge, as well as the body of the larger starport.

The Flying Dolphin is just a small transport ship, however, it can carry 90,000 people in its belly and carry a large amount of cargo and daily necessities, so it should be a behemoth.

It's like a small town standing in space.

But despite this, it is also too small compared to Starport.

Koroga's starport is not as large as the Wings, but it still ranks second in the entire Pegasus region.

After entering the starport, I took the tram in the starport, went to the connection of a space elevator, waited in line, and got off the starport.

After leaving the Star Harbor and reaching the ground, this is the capital of Koroga, the capital of Chaodu, known as Salt City.

Then I transferred to the car, arrived at the northern station of Mingyan City, and waited for a long time to wait for a train to Promise City.

Promise City isn't too far from Salt City - compared to the nests on the other side of the planet.

But even so, the train that ran through the wilderness at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour still allowed him to travel for seven hours to reach the City of Promises.

After getting off the train at Promise City Station, he changed to another car, and after six hours of staggering in the nest capital, he finally arrived at the destination of his trip: the Green Bee Neighborhood in the Lower Nest District of Promise City.

This way, even with Shang Yanwen's always calm mentality, is really physically and mentally exhausting.

Interstellar navigation is really troublesome, too far away, even with the blessing of various technologies possessed by human beings, it is too troublesome for an ordinary person.

He couldn't remember how many times he had changed trains or how much time he had taken.

But anyway, he returned.

When he got out of the car, he looked around and could see some familiar scenes, but more things he had never seen.

The streetscape has changed a lot, and all kinds of alleys that were originally dirty and closed have been cleared; The strange smell of metal smelting, all kinds of emitted gases, and all kinds of household garbage mixed with the street was still a little bit, but it was much more slight than he remembered.

Some of the surrounding buildings are still the same, but most of them are not what they used to be.

There are a lot of people walking around the streets, there are many cars driving, it is not like in the past, if it is okay, no one will come out and walk around.

The clothes they wore were not flashy, but at least they were neat; The expression on his face was smiling and flamboyant......

Is this still your hometown?
