Chapter 14428 Arrival

For the next ten days or so, the Hound did not encounter any danger until they entered the territory of the Star Empire. When they entered the territory of the Star Empire, there was an obvious sign, that is, they would receive an identity information on their spacecraft. They had to reply to the information before they could sail in the Star Empire. Otherwise, they would be regarded as invaders or space pirates and would be eliminated directly.

And these days, Zhao Hai also learned some things from Rewell. The main reason why the Star Empire doesn't care much about their adventure groups is that if they pay taxes to the Star Empire, don't think that the Star Empire will not collect taxes from them just because they are smuggling. In fact, they must pay taxes. Even if they are engaged in smuggling, they still have to pay taxes. As long as their goods are bought and sold, the empire will collect taxes in the process. If you pay this kind of tax, it's fine. The empire may pretend that it doesn't know you are smuggling. But if you dare not pay this kind of tax, someone will come to you immediately, and then it will not be as simple as paying taxes.

People like Zhao Hai who have no identity can apply for an identity as long as they are on the administrative planets in the empire that are not too strict. However, on ordinary administrative planets, a lot of procedures are required to apply for an identity. But on some planets, this is not necessary, and Bonna is one of them. Bonna has another name, called the Adventurer's Star. Of course, some people call it the Sin Star behind its back because there are many fugitives here. But no matter whether you have committed a crime on other planets, as long as you go to Bonna and there is no crime on Bonna, the government of Bonna will not care about you. At the same time, Bonna is also the largest distribution center for dirty things in the Star Empire. Of course, these dirty things are cheaper, so this has created the surprising prosperity of Bonna.

However, this prosperity is deformed. It is extremely prosperous, but it also has large slums. Businesses that are considered illegal on many other administrative planets are legal on Bona Star, so it is also called the Star of Sin. However, because many things can be done here that cannot be done on other administrative planets, this makes it very attractive. Every year, many wealthy people who are looking for excitement come here to play, which makes Bona Star even more prosperous.

Of course, this also caused another situation, that is, the identity documents here on Bona Star cannot be recognized by many other administrative stars. In other words, if you have an identity document from Bona Star, sometimes you will not be able to enter other administrative planets. You can go to some administrative stars, but not to some. This is a kind of discrimination against Bona Star, but there is no way. There is gain and loss. When Bona Star makes a lot of money by using those adventure groups and those illegal businesses, they also have to pay a corresponding price. The people of Bona Star also know this, and everyone gradually stops taking it seriously.

But even in a place like Bona Star, taxes must be paid. In the Star Empire, there is actually only one kind of tax, and that is the transaction tax. The transaction tax is not paid once, but an unlimited number of times. For example, Xinnuo and his friends want to buy an optical computer. When they buy the optical computer, during the transaction, the empire will collect a transaction tax. However, Xinnuo and his friends have used the optical computer for a while and find that it is not easy to use, so they want to sell it. If someone buys it, they will still collect some transaction taxes during the transaction. If the other party sells the optical computer, they still have to pay a transaction tax. This creates a situation where, in the end, the tax paid for this item during the transaction may be higher than its original value. Although this transaction tax is not high, paying it all the time will cause people a headache. Even the people in the Star Empire have long been accustomed to it.

These were all mentioned by Leiweier when he was talking to Zhao Hai about Bona Star. In other words, even though the things on their ship are considered smuggled goods, as long as the ship arrives at Bona Star and they sell those things, they will have to pay taxes. After paying the taxes, they will no longer be considered smuggled goods. It is because of such laws that the Star Empire turns a blind eye to smuggling, because no matter how they get the things, they have to pay taxes when they get here, so why do they still care? It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hai is so curious. He really didn't expect it to be like this. The people of the Star Empire are really talented. They actually treat smuggling with such an attitude. At the same time, he became more interested in Bona Star. He really wanted to know what kind of planet Bona Star is.

Xinnuo and his companions were indeed right. After their spaceship entered the Star Empire, they did not encounter any danger at all. Xinnuo and his companions completely relaxed. Perhaps this was because of their trust in the Star Empire. They believed that they were safe here.

Zhao Hai didn't say anything. There must be a reason for Xin Nuo and the others' behavior. As someone who had just entered the Star Empire, it was better for him not to tell the truth. So Zhao Hai only spent the past few days understanding the basic situation of the Star Empire and did not do anything else. However, he also noticed that they passed by some planets and even encountered some spaceships, but those spaceships ignored the Hound. As they went deeper into the Star Empire, they encountered more spaceships.

Among these spaceships, there are many cargo ships, some are passenger ships, and some are private spaceships. Relatively speaking, private spaceships are much smaller, but they are more beautiful, more luxurious, and more sci-fi. Zhao Hai is still very curious about these spaceships. Zhao Hai even saw some anti-life spaceships. The so-called anti-life spaceships mean that these spaceships are made like some animals. For example, Zhao Hai saw a giant eagle spaceship and a goldfish spaceship. The general anti-life spaceships are all privately customized spaceships, almost all of which are flashy things, but these spaceships are symbols of status, because these anti-life spaceships are very expensive. For example, a spaceship like the Hound, even if there are ten ships, it may not be possible to buy a anti-life spaceship. Of course, all of this was told to Zhao Hai by Rewell. When he talked about those anti-life spaceships, he was also envious.

After more than a month of flying, they were finally about to arrive at Bona Star, and this month also allowed Zhao Hai to have a deeper understanding of the situation here in the Star Empire. Here in the Star Empire, people's lifespans were not as short as Zhao Hai imagined. Zhao Hai thought that people here in the Star Empire could only live to over a hundred years old at most, but in fact, people here in the Star Empire can easily live to three to five hundred years old, and some long-lived people can even live to about a thousand years old.

The reason why people in the Star Empire have such long lives is related to two things. One is cultivation. The internal skills and visualization methods they practice can prolong their lives, that is to say, they can make people live longer. Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The other reason is the basic potion. In the Star Empire, there is a kind of genetic potion that can make people's bodies younger and make people live longer. It is very normal for people to live for three to five hundred years.

This kind of genetic potion is not expensive and most people can afford it, so people in the Star Empire can live a very long life, and they can keep their bodies in peak condition for a long time.

Another situation that surprised Zhao Hai was that there were masters in the Star Empire as well. These masters were very powerful and had longer lifespans. Rewell once said that behind Bona Star stood a master from the Star Empire. It was said that this master was almost a thousand years old, but he didn't look old at all. In the Star Empire, there were many masters like this, and each of them had a big force of his own. The place with the most masters was the military, which was why the Star Empire was so stable, because the military's combat effectiveness was even stronger here.

Of course, when it comes to how strong those masters are, Zhao Hai doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know, but he is sure that those masters may be stronger than he is now. Because if those masters are not strong enough, the people from the other six realms will probably not let go of the Star Empire. The reason why the Star Empire is so stable now is because their combat effectiveness is strong enough, plus those warships, which can make the people of the six realms stay quiet, otherwise they would have been eaten up long ago.

Of course, Zhao Hai was just thinking about it in his mind and didn't say it out loud. He really wanted to enter the Bona Star and get his identity as soon as possible. Now they have entered the range of the Bona Star. In about a day, they can enter the Bona Star's spaceport. All spaceships must stop there, and then take the intraplanetary aircraft from there to enter the interior of the planet. Of course, if you don't want to take the intraplanetary aircraft, you can also take the intraplanetary rail transit. Except for taking a little longer, there is nothing wrong with it, because this intraplanetary rail transit is the intraplanetary train, which is a magnetic levitation train. It has five trips a day and the speed is not fast. It is much slower than other intraplanetary aircraft, but it has an advantage, that is, it is cheap.

Intrastellar aircraft are generally divided into three types. One is private, which belongs to the rich. They are fully automatic. Even if the rich go to other planets, before returning, they just need to give orders to their private aircraft, and the aircraft will go to the designated location to pick up the rich. It's like a private car, or an autonomous private car.

The second type is a shared aircraft. This type of aircraft can only carry very few people, generally no more than four people. It is a means of transportation similar to a taxi. Of course, the price of using this type of transportation is relatively more expensive.

  The third type is the intraplanetary train, which is equivalent to a bus. Everyone can take it and the fare is very low. Generally, only people who don’t have much money will take it.
