Him and their stars.

Chapter 1828 Excited Life Radiation

Everyone at the scene looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Some of them even had a flash of sympathy, thinking that Chief Yu had started talking nonsense because of the death of the President.

Of course, this awkward silence only lasted for less than a second.

Captain Nemo said seriously: "In short, we must first determine the exact location of the pirate city. Even if we take a step back, we can at least get supplies here."

Everyone nodded.

Colonel Singh analyzed seriously: "Before that, we have to figure out the attitude of Pirate City towards this war. The current state of our country is far from good."

Colonel Romanova said: "Personal grudges cannot be ruled out."

The so-called "personal grudge" is, of course, the "Snake-Slaying Operation".

As a representative of the Community in that operation, Yu Lian should be able to earn the title of "Galaxy Pirate Nemesis". His reputation among the criminals is probably already very popular.

Who knows what the relationship is between the underworld boss of the Abyss Nebula and the pirate kings of the Cross Nebula?

"They shouldn't cause trouble." Feifei said with a smile: "The reason these people can survive to this day is not because of their powerful fists, but because of their flexible bodies. Of course, they also have good luck that has nowhere to go..."

"Good luck?" Annie was stunned.

Yu Lian explained: "A group of explorers and smugglers were able to stumble upon the ancient space city when they were at their wits' end, and they also successfully gained some of the rights to the ancient city. This can't even be described as just good luck. There is no doubt that at that time, they were the chosen people of the spirit of the universe."

Indeed, the strange and mysterious fortress hidden in the abyss nebula has become the largest "free port" in the universe, and it is still the biggest legend in the universe exploration and "archaeology". Various versions of the exploration legend still inspire generations of explorers to enter this field that needs to absorb unlimited cannon fodder.

Of course, since the existence of the Great Freedom City is ultimately just a legend that is not easy to make public, it is not recognized by the Standard Shipping Association or even other countries. Therefore, this legendary adventure story has not been turned into a true or false literary work that reaps billions of dollars in output value in the alliance every year.

Yu Lian vaguely remembered that when he mentioned this matter to Brother Claire again, he still felt it was a pity.

"Do you know, brother Yu Lian, that this expedition team was quite legendary, including Professor Abel Johnson?"

Oh, which generation of Professor Johnson is this? Yu Lian said that even if he had a good memory

"And the famous mercenary Joshua Joroda."

Isn't this the most famous traitor in your Guerrilla Association? He is the first and only guerrilla in history who was rated S-level and still betrayed. Before escaping from Nephi, he posted the list of informants of the association in various member countries and underworld organizations on the Internet, so he enjoyed the treatment of lifelong hunting.

“There’s even Roshanda Star Wanderer.”

This was the first time Yu Lian had heard of the name, but this subtle nickname touched him a little.

"He is an Eero man, and is said to be a relative of the Eero royal family."

Well, more than a thousand years ago, it was still the Galactic Common Calendar. The Ero Empire had not yet perished, and the Ero people were not the cosmic demons that everyone hated.

"You see, the organization of the personnel alone is very progressive. It is not only a legendary adventure story, but also particularly in line with the flavor of our Pioneer Party's racial equality, class equality and community of shared destiny. If it is handed over to my brother-in-law... uh, if it is handed over to Director Fei, it will definitely be a box office success and a good reputation. This can also be regarded as our propaganda work for the Pioneer Party's ideals."

At that time, the mental state of brother Belmont was just on Davarishi's side as he jumped left and right.

"Moreover, it will definitely create at least hundreds of billions of value."

After all, the underlying tone of Brother Belmont's spiritual world is still very capitalist.

But no matter what, such legendary adventures happened a thousand years ago. Legend has it that after a thousand years, the background of this free "Pirate City" and "Lawless City" is no longer so free. According to some people, half of the current city managers have backgrounds in the Standard Shipping Association, and the other half are simply retainers of the Imperial Dragon King.

Of course, as a senior sea adventurer who has actually lived and studied in the Great Freedom City, Yu Lian can assure the Spirit of the Universe that this free port is certainly influenced by the cosmic powers, but after all, it has the natural barrier of the Abyss Nebula, and the overall atmosphere is still very comfortable. Most of the city managers do have a background in the underworld, and they are all big brothers in the underworld who value the loyalty of the underworld, but occasionally they have to accept the "business orders" arranged by the masters.

After all, everyone has to live.

However, precisely because everyone needs to live, theoretically one can find everything in the universe in that city, from treasures to battleship accessories, as grand as the design of a space city's power reactor to as small as the latest moon candy recipe. It really can be said that everything is available.

Captain Nemo gave Yu Lian a shopping list, including medicines, compressed food, energy and various consumables. Of course, it was also necessary to replace some high-tech accessories, replenish weapons, and even update some armor plates.

After all, the Mir 2 had been fighting in dangerous galaxies for thousands of light years, and even this alchemical battleship, which was built with a huge amount of money, had indeed reached its limit.

"Given the current state of our ship, it is not a problem for us to maintain our current navigation in the Abyss Nebula, but we can hardly withstand one or two high-intensity and high-severity battles." Captain Nemo said.

"So, if the pirate kings of Great Freedom City take hostile actions towards us, would that be considered a high-intensity combat?" Annie asked curiously.

The captain looked troubled: "Lieutenant Colonel, I have never dealt with the pirates of the Abyss."

Feifei smiled and said, "Pirates are still pirates after all. Pirates with advanced ships and strong fighting spirit only exist in literary works. If we hadn't thought about attacking that city, of course it would be far from being a big deal."

"What a shame," Annie sighed.

"Indeed, it's a pity." Colonel Mia Walter nodded in agreement.

"...Are you making a plan to attack Dazizai City?" Yu Lian glanced at them.

"It's better to be prepared. We must at least complete sufficient supplies in that city so that this march will not be a loss. If the pirate port does not allow us to enter the city, we may have to consider a backup plan." Feifei said something fair.

"Moreover, the most combat-ready units on the Retreat are actually the Marines and fighter jets," Annie added.

"And there are dragons." Feifei said again. Yes, of course there are dragons.

Everyone on the boat was exhausted, but the four dragons on the boat had been very excited recently, and they looked like they had eaten too much moon candy. Every day they looked up at the porthole of the dragon's nest as if begging for freedom. Their scales were emitting glossy vitality, and even their previous hidden injuries had healed. From time to time, they would dance and roar a few times. However, their keepers were tormented.

This is not a good thing. Yu Lian felt that although these breeders were all imperial captives, they were all very rare skilled workers and must not be tortured to death.

So, of course, the loving slap from How to Train Your Dragon was needed again. And this time it was a little different, Yu Lian and Fei Fei did it together.

The dragons calmed down. Of course, they were still excited, but at least they didn't dare to show any aggression.

Feifei said helplessly, "What a bunch of noisy bad boys! To be honest, if it's an ordinary pirate base, I don't mind everyone riding dragons to charge in once. After all, it will affect morale if energy cannot be vented. However, even if it's a dragon, even if it's a saint riding a dragon, if they encounter the ancient fortress cannon that can vaporize Titan ships, they will be helpless."

Yu Lian shrugged and said calmly: "Yes, I will evaporate with the dragon. I will decompose into particles in the colorful rays of light and dissipate in the clouds. Then I can prepare for the next equal destruction."

To be honest, there are fortress cannons that can severely injure a Titan ship with one strike, but everyone has only thought of one example of a weapon that can evaporate a Titan cannon. Although that example did not evaporate a Titan, it did evaporate several large and medium-sized warships. That scene is still a nightmare for the soldiers of the Empire and the Community to this day.

"You mean, the so-called Great Freedom City is actually another Unity Fortress?" Annie finally realized.

Yu Lian shrugged: "The scale may be even larger, but most areas are still inaccessible."

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "It is impossible for us to attack the fortress from the outside with just our ship, but we can think about what to do after entering the port."

"This is totally against the code of conduct in society." Feifei glared at the other person.

"I'm a soldier, and the dragon is already excited. It would be a shame not to make use of it. By the way, why did the dragon suddenly become excited? Could it be that the current radiation has a certain stimulating effect on the star dragon?" Yu Lian asked puzzledly.

The keepers, who were composed of imperial prisoners, worked overtime to check and make sure that each of the dragons was thriving and healthy.

So, in metaphysical terms, these unknown radiations contain "vitality" that is beneficial to star dragons. Considering that star dragons are actually mythical beasts, that is, beasts with innate psychic powers, will they have the same effect on humans with psychic powers?

Yu Lian had never discovered this in his previous life, but in this life, he might consider giving it a try.

For example, go outside the ship without wearing a space suit to feel it. Anyway, with my current strength, I can at least withstand a few minutes of this cosmic radiation.

In this process, you can fully perceive the essence of energy through changes in your body.

It is said that in ancient times, psychics always did this when expanding the boundaries of mysticism.

Yu Lian looked at the busy guys, and considering that his actions would definitely cause the hardworking crew members' blood pressure to soar, he decided to give up this time.

...In short, it is still up to the scientific officers on the ship to record as much data as possible for subsequent research.

In short, compared to the excitement of the dragons, the crew members were a completely different story.

The journey is certainly not easy, and there is no such thing as eating hot pot and singing songs.

The closer they got to the star field where the Great Freedom City was located, the more they encountered along the way, shuttling through various old star systems emitting ominous halos and strange and powerful radiation. It was like walking on thin ice as if on the edge of an abyss.

There was even one time when it passed by a black hole. In order to avoid the intensified radiation reaction, the Xunli made a Z-turn under Yu Lian's command, and at the closest point it had entered the gravitational range of the black hole.

Fortunately, before the captain could react, Annie decisively increased the ship's charge speed to its highest speed, and relying solely on the gravity meter to operate the entire dragon boat to make movements like willow leaves in the wind, she managed to bring the entire battleship out of the deadly gravity range with difficulty.

It was estimated afterwards that if they got closer than 0.1 astronomical units, they would be completely captured by the black hole, and even the spirit of the universe would not be able to save them at that time.

In fact, even Yu Lian and Fei Fei were frightened to death at the time. He knew that in front of this natural wonder of the universe that could swallow even light, no matter if it was a true god with nine rings or a dead otaku who couldn't beat a goose, no matter if it was the latest Titan ship or a thin sampan, all beings were equal.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

This non-intimate encounter with the black hole was also the most dangerous situation everyone encountered in the nearly one-week voyage. It was even calmer than the previous time when they were swimming on the outskirts of the Abyss Nebula and trying to infiltrate the border of the empire.

In fact, what is gratifying yet puzzling is that despite such a dangerous route, except for that "non-intimate contact with the black hole", the overall gravitational environment in the galaxy is still relatively balanced and stable, almost comparable to those vibrant young and middle-aged star clusters.

This is probably why the Xunli can hear communications from the outside world.

However, when the Pilgrimage began to move towards the possible location of the Great Freedom City based on the signal of the source wave, external communications were interrupted again.

"The source wave signal has disappeared." The communications officer reported anxiously: "We are searching."

"Don't force it. The managers of Pirate City will often shut down the source wave terminals in their hands at any time according to their needs. It is only opened about three times a month, and each time does not exceed twenty-four hours. During this period, the communication serves as a lighthouse and navigation." Feifei comforted.

As for why the commander's "big director's wife" was so familiar with the Pirate City, everyone was already used to it and really didn't dare to ask in detail.

The only one who dares to complain occasionally is Miss Anne Romanova, one of my best friends.

"Didn't you just say that you can see Nephi's new dramas and movies faster in Pirate City than on Earth?"

"Yes, so during the 24 hours that it is open, the residents of Da Zi Zai City must hurry up to contact the Star Network. If the business is too busy, you may have to spend money to buy some traffic."

Yu Lian thought of the memories of his previous life when he had to buy traffic from managers every week, and suddenly felt that the dead memories were attacking him.

Well, even if they are the underworld, once they have monopoly resources, they are still very capitalist. But to be honest, their charges are very high, but not to the point where they are unaffordable.

They actually allowed Yu Lian to grow potatoes on the balcony of the rented room, so what else could he ask for?

In short, I lived quite comfortably in the half year I lived in the Great Freedom City. If I hadn't heard that the Empire and the Alliance were about to extend their tentacles into this largest lawless place in the universe, I might have stayed there for a while longer.
