Chapter 0486 - Growing Old with Your Son
Xu Xia's guest-class expedition spaceship, although it is a public-type civilian-class expedition spaceship, is a real spaceship after all, and it is also an expedition spaceship with higher performance than ordinary civilian spacecraft, so this price is by no means affordable for ordinary people. Saying that it is cheap is compared to other luxury interstellar exploration ships, but it does not mean that it is really as cheap as a cabbage on the side of the road. There is no one who can afford to play an interstellar spaceship who is not a planet-level tycoon.
Even if it is a second-hand, third-hand XXK-39 spacecraft that has been upgraded and eliminated, don't even think about taking it without 100 million federal coins. And the brand new XXK-40, one for a billion federal coins!
That's the price of a Volkswagen-sized expedition ship. Like those luxurious, ultra-luxurious expedition ships, which one is not the sky-high price of seven or eight billion or ten billion federal coins?
In a word, interstellar exploration, this is not a game that ordinary people can afford to play at all, nor can ordinary rich people afford to play, at least it has to be a top rich man on an administrative star to be barely qualified to get involved.
The girl in front of her, the reason why she still uses this old model, there is only one reason - to save money!
The girl's XXK-38 expedition spaceship is a treasure that the girl bought from a garbage recycling star for one million federal coins.
Although it is a product of more than 400 years ago, although the performance is not as good as the Type 39 spaceship, let alone the Type 40, but it is better to be well preserved, and after the maintenance and renovation of the genius girl, this old ship has been rejuvenated.
Despite the fact that the outer deck looks quite shabby, in fact this deck is not at all as dilapidated and decayed as it seems. This deck was a good thing that the girl had removed from an XXK-40 expedition spacecraft that had been accidentally scrapped during the expedition after bribing the director of the garbage recycling plant with a 500-year-old wild ginseng she had found during the expedition. The maiden used the ancient method to forge these decks a second time. So much so that these pitted, rusty decks, as if they could loosen and fall off from the ship at any time, have more than three times the actual protection performance of the XXK-40 prototype spacecraft. That's true. The bun has meat and is not on the pleat.
As for why these decks look so ugly, it is because the scrapped XXK-40 spacecraft was hit by a meteorite and scrapped, so these decks are so virtuous. And when the girl dismantled and forged these decks for the second time, she still maintained her original appearance, which made this modified XXK-38 expedition ship more heavy and vicissitudes.
The engine on the XXK-40 model that had been scrapped and could not be repaired, and the girl did not let it go, and it was dismantled as it was. It was installed on its own Type 38 spacecraft as it was.
I don't know what means the girl used, but she actually repaired and started a scrapped engine again, and the performance was better than before.
A teenage girl. Even if you start learning from your mother's womb, no matter how talented you are, you can't master the multidisciplinary and complex knowledge system of spaceship engines. Moreover, engine technology is a federally regulated subject, and it is not something that can be learned at ordinary colleges and universities. This girl just did it. I don't know how the girl learned this.
The XXK-38 expedition ship with new engines and deck have been replaced. In fact, it is already a brand new spaceship, and it is definitely a ship that is ruined and golden, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Seeing that it took the girl less than ten days, one person and one hand, to renovate a dilapidated XXK-38 spaceship into a dilapidated appearance, but actually a brand-new XXK-40 spaceship, the director of the garbage recycling plant couldn't help but be speechless. It's a hundred skilled technicians who want to complete such a heavy workload. You can't get down without half a year, right?
Watching the girl recharge her energy, the ship's engine flew out of the atmosphere with blue flames. Turned into a point of light on the radar, the factory director still couldn't come back to his senses. The girl gave him too much shock.
This factory director can't imagine that such a genius girl, no matter how poor her background is, should be the most dazzling new star of the Federation anyway, a treasure of the Federation's national treasure, and absolutely all kinds of cultivation and research needs are fully supplied, no matter what, she will not be reduced to doing this kind of oil-stained hard work on such a desolate planet where birds don't, and assembling and refurbishing a spaceship by herself.
What is the secret of this? The director of the factory has no way of knowing. He didn't want to, and he didn't dare to inquire. The girl came out with an ancient martial arts cultivation, and the people and things at that level were not something that a small garbage recycling plant director like himself could mix.
The thin back of the girl pulling the crawler conveyor truck full of tens of thousands of tons of deck that was dismantled with one hand appeared in the mind of the factory director from time to time, he still has a wife and children, and he wants to live a few more years, but he doesn't want to find that uncomfortable.
Don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, and people who are safe can live for a long time, but the factory director has given himself a ban.
As for the issue of not being able to enter the official route of a spaceship that is not officially registered, anyway, this girl is engaged in interstellar exploration, and she is running a star path that no one else has ever visited, and she can't even see a single person, let alone any official or unofficial route. As for the ship's maintenance and refueling and supply supplies, with the exiled galaxy present, this is not a problem at all.
Where there is light, there is darkness, where there is sunshine, there is shadow, where there is justice, there is evil...... No matter what stage of human society it develops, the dark side hidden under the mainstream society will never disappear.
Compared with the well-known galaxy where the Galactic Federation is located, the Exiled Galaxy is the dark part of the Federation that cannot be seen, and it is this two parts of the light and darkness that form a complete Galactic Federation.
The Exile Galaxy is not large, the diameter of the entire galaxy is no more than 100 light-years, and it is located in the outermost part of the Milky Way Arm, and it is the first galaxy that human beings have encountered outside the Milky Way.
Because of its remoteness, and the barren and barren nature of this star field, there are thousands of planets with extremely poor resources and extremely harsh environments, which can only barely live in people. Therefore, the Federation simply used this desolate star field as a star prison for exiled prisoners.
Star Prison is a prison in the starry sky. A prison with a planet as a cell.
It is much more convenient and cost-effective to throw all kinds of inmates in federal prisons who eat white food onto this planet of exile, leave some production and living materials behind, and then leave them to fend for themselves.
Thousands of years ago, when human beings had not yet stepped out of the galaxy, the Galactic Federation had completely replaced human beings in terms of production. Thus. Humanity itself has long been freed from heavy physical labor. With great material abundance, humanity has long since eradicated poverty, even if you do nothing. The Federation can also have food and drink to feed you for the rest of your life, of course, only the minimum standard of living.
Yet, even so, crime has not disappeared or decreased. Crime rates have soared even more.
Humans who are so idle that they have nothing to do. In addition to inventing and creating zĂ o, literary and artistic creation, practicing ancient martial arts, creating human movements, and other things, the extremely boring human beings began to find all kinds of fun and need the stimulation of the senses, so all kinds of crimes sprung up in an endless stream.
Despite the Federation's efforts to rectify it, civilization has grown to the point where the death penalty has been abolished and corporal punishment cannot be inflicted on prisoners. In fact, the deterrent effect on criminals is simply lost.
For all kinds of crimes, the Federation can do. Basically, they were arrested on the spot and then stuffed into prison and raised. Even if the prisoner has a little skin on his body, there is a group of crazy reporters who are worried that they can't find anything good to report hype, making the Federation lose money and pay for it. In the eyes of the Federation, these prisoners are not prisoners, they are simply their own fathers, and it is even more difficult to serve than their own fathers.
There are even more people who are well fed and supported, who feel that it is boring outside, and who specialize in crimes and come to prison to be locked up as a vacation.
In short, at this stage of the development of human society, material is no longer the goal of pursuit, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and all kinds of inferior human nature have been infinitely stimulated, each seems to have the gene of crime, and the prison has long been overcrowded, and even a so-called prison civilization has been born. At its peak, even a full 10 percent of the federal citizens were in prison and living a "happy" life, much to the federal authorities.
The federal authorities, who were forced to do nothing, came up with the killer trick of exile. Throwing himself into isolation on a wild planet, detached from human society, fending for himself, and living a stand-alone life, this is simply more unbearable for most modern people than killing him.
As soon as this trick came out, it really worked, and the crime rate was greatly reduced for a while. I'm not afraid of closing the small black house, I'm afraid of being exiled to the stars to raise pigs. The Confederation finally has some deterrent to crime.
Still, no matter what time it is, there will always be weirdos. What kind of birds are not there when the forest is big, not to mention that it is such an era of strange birds. There are always some guys who claim to pursue nature and stay away from civilization, shouting all day long about what kind of slash-and-burn life, hairy and blood-drinking.
These people have long wanted to stay away from material civilization, but they were born in a civilized society, and they don't have the money to buy a spaceship to go on an interstellar expedition and find a planet to live a primitive life. These involuntary guys are worried that they can't find a way to return to the primitive, which has the idea of exile planet, but these people are so happy that they have committed crimes and gone to exile to live a "happy" life.
Therefore, most of the exiles on the exile star are these so-called nature-loving guys. And the rest are really sinful repeat offenders.
When it was still in the galaxy, the Federation already had several exiled planets. It's just that those planets are not concentrated in the east and west, and every time a prisoner is released, it is very troublesome to tie one end to the east and one to the west. Moreover, these planets have long been overcrowded, reaching the upper limit of what can be accommodated, but there are no new exiled planets available, and the Federation has been dragging it out.
This time, there is such a large range of planets suitable for exile, as if it was born to exist for the purpose of being exiled galaxies, where will the Federation let go. Directly promised all the prisoners on the original planets to the exile system, and then the new criminals were directly put into the wandering galaxy.
In this way, over thousands of years, day by day, by now, the exiled galaxy has become a system of its own, and has actually developed another social form that relies on the Federation to exist.
At this time, the inhabitants of the exiled galaxy are not only criminals exiled here by the Federation, but also persecuted people in the Federation, and then fugitives.
In short, what you can't do in the Federation can continue to mix in the Exile System, what you can't do in the Federation can continue to do in the Exile System, and what you can't find in the Federation can be found here in the Exile System......
It's a place of filth, it's a place of heaven, it's like hell, there's no law, there's no rules......
There are only fists here, only strength, only the jungle......
This is a paradise for people with big fists and strength, and this is a place for people with thin arms and no strength......
For so many years, the girl's spaceship, all kinds of maintenance and supplies, have always relied on the exile star field. Exile doesn't have as many rules as the Federation. Exiled Star Domain only recognizes money, not people. As long as you have money, it doesn't matter if your ship is not registered, it doesn't matter if your ship is coming from the right way, and it doesn't matter if you are a criminal or not, besides, the people who exile the galaxy are criminals, all criminals, where are criminals? So, as long as you give money, enough money, the exile galaxy will provide you with all kinds of services.
The price of the consumption of the wandering galaxy is generally more than five times that of the Federation! Do you love it or not, do you want to love it, no one forces you to come! The Federation is cheap, why don't you go? It's not enough to come here, let's go back to the Federation at this price! This is the logic of the exiled galaxies, and it is also the confidence to dare to ask for a price. Because, you have no choice but here.
The Federation is also willing to put some things that cannot see the light into the dark box of the Exile Galaxy, and it can be said that the formation of the Exile Galaxy is completely created by the Federation.
Although the Exiled Star Domain does not have a complete industrial system like the Federation due to the Federation's control, simple routine ship maintenance and replenishment of energy blocks are completely fine.
Over the years, this expedition spaceship has accompanied the girl to I don't know how many star fields she has walked through, how many planets she has stepped on, and for the sake of an ultimate evolution liquid, the girl has been floating on the star path of interstellar exploration all year round, giving up too much.
The girl in the cockpit of the mecha, through the porthole, her eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the mottled spaceship in the starry sky not far away, thinking of the hardships and near-deaths of this trip to the Chiyan Star, the girl's calm face could not hide the compassion.
This is a spaceship built by himself, more than three years, accompanied by himself through hundreds of millions of miles of star road, it has also become more vicissitudes, but what about himself? Although there have been many twists and turns this time, he finally got what he wanted. After these things have been condensed by themselves, they are enough to buy an ultimate evolution liquid, and the remaining Federation coins are enough for themselves to live a safe life with him.
For the rest of the time, I won't go anywhere, I have to spend all my time with him, and I will never be separated in this life. (To be continued......)
