Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 740 Dead Sea

After three days of repairs, the Manta was finally restored to its original state, with only a few minor modifications made while maintaining the structural strength.

For example, Li Chengxi asked Fang Lanyin to increase the sensitivity of the rudder, reset the recording radar power, increase the detection range at the cost of reducing accuracy, and replace it with a larger fuel tank.

These small changes can only be regarded as improving the operating feel and endurance as much as possible. According to Li Chengxi's habit of adjustment, the combat effectiveness of the Manta Ray has been improved, but that's all. If you want a significant improvement, it is more appropriate to change the machine directly.

If there is any difference in appearance from before, it is that Li Chengxi specifically requested that the Manta be painted red.

Alyssa was very puzzled by this. Let's be honest, when flying in the void, many people would paint themselves black or dark gray to blend into the void background.

The red one is too conspicuous.

Li Chengxi told her that since ancient times, red has been three times faster, which made Alyssa confused...

Anyway, painting is just a small matter. As long as the distance is kept, any color will not be too conspicuous in the void.

The engine started again after a long absence, and with a buzzing sound, the Manta Ray took off vertically.

Alyssa stood up from her seat and said goodbye to Feng Hua and Fang Bin who were waving at her from below in the cockpit. She did not sit down until the Manta Ray accelerated straight into the void.

"Set up a jump route. Our next stop won't be as easy as Alan Starlink."

"Where?"

"I sent you the coordinates."

If you want to jump, you must first get out of the range of the Alan Star Chain.

Li Chengxi glanced at the star map:

"It's a bit far this time. Even two jumps may not reach it."

"You can't just jump randomly, you'll pass through the Dead Sea."

The so-called Dead Sea is not a real ocean, but a special airspace.

It is impossible to jump in this airspace. If the starship's jump route passes through the Dead Sea, it will be forced to terminate at the edge of the Dead Sea.

The seemingly lifeless void is actually very busy. A large number of ships are either warping or pulse flying. The most commonly used long-distance travel mode is not feasible in the Dead Sea. There are no galaxies in this airspace, so it seems like a specially hollowed-out area. Therefore, this area is called the Dead Sea.

The distance is already far, and it will be even farther if we take a detour.

Alyssa was also looking at the star map, looking for a way to avoid the Dead Sea.

But then she suddenly said:

"Why is your speech a little unclear? Is there something wrong with the speakers?"

"No, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm eating a chicken sandwich."

"Chicken.Sandwich?"

Alyssa turned the driver's chair and looked back at the corridor leading from the cockpit to the living area, where one of the seats was put down and Fang Lanyin was sitting on it, also eating a chicken sandwich.

"Boss, do you want to try it? I've prepared two days' worth."

She picked up a basket filled with convenience foods like sandwiches.

"Alan Starlink's agricultural products are very famous. I heard that it's not easy to eat these natural foods in other places."

Seeing this, Alyssa held her forehead and said:
"No, wait, how does he eat his sandwich?"

"Brother Li said he wanted to try it, so I put a sandwich on the main control panel. Unbelievably, he was able to eat it."

Although there are restrictions on putting things into the screen from Li Chengxi's side, there are no restrictions on taking things out of the screen. "Brother Li, when did you two become so close... Forget it, I have a headache."

Although we didn't find a navigator on this Alan Starlink trip, we did have the position of mechanic.

At present, Alyssa is very short of manpower, and from the repair situation of the Manta Ray, it can be seen that Fang Lanyin’s level is indeed good, so the cat girl joins the team.

Yongli

1155, late June.

While Li Chengxi was happily driving the Manta Ray around, the passenger ship that Yang Yiyi was on also docked at the pier of a small town.

It’s not that we have reached the Qi Jue Gate, but we have to change boats when we get here.

You can reach Qi Jue Men by taking a boat north from Tan River, and the river here is forked, one heading north and the other heading northeast.

If they wanted to go to Qi Jue Men, they had to take a boat heading northeast. The boat they were currently on would go north, so they had to get off and change boats.

Having had to squat on the boat for more than ten days, Yang Yiyi felt that her bones were about to rust. After getting off the boat, she couldn't help but stretch herself, listening to the slight crackling of all the joints in her body.

"This town looks prosperous, but there seem to be a lot of beggars."

Wu Shaoyi sat in a wheelchair, looked at the dock and said:

"I heard before that some places in Yuezhou were hit by disasters. It seems to be true."

Yang Yiyi had also heard about this matter. She mentioned it when she helped the Wen and Qing families in Silk City solve a murder case a year ago. (See Chapter 356 for details)
At that time, I thought it was just a random excuse and didn't take it too seriously. But today, when I took a look at the small towns in Yuezhou State and saw a large number of beggars, I naturally knew that what he said was true.

"I have also heard about it. It is said that there was a drought in Quzhou, followed by a locust plague. The fields could not produce enough food, and many people fled."

Zhou Wenyi, who was walking with him, stroked his long beard and said:
"But from what I know about the current Yuezhou Emperor, he is a wise ruler who will not leave the disaster victims alone. When I was investigating the incident in Southern Xinjiang, I heard that many of the people from Quzhou who had fled had already returned. This should be because the imperial court issued disaster relief grain."

For the monarchs in the feudal era, disaster relief was the top priority. When people were hungry, they had no moral bottom line and would do anything to stay alive.

In addition to the impact on society, once someone says, "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races born with different blood?", rebellion is not impossible.

The Emperor of Yuezhou was not stupid and knew that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

Yang Yiyi didn't care too much about this topic. Disaster relief was the court's business, and a few people from the martial arts world couldn't do anything.

At this moment, an eagle's cry was heard overhead, and Yang Yiyi looked up and waved to the eagle in the sky.

"Babao! Come here!"

It swooped down very obediently and landed gently on Yang Yiyi's arm.

This is the messenger eagle of Tianjue Palace. When they separated before, Ning Xianer specially asked this eagle named "Babao" to remember Yang Yiyi for the convenience of contact.

Although Yang Yiyi also felt that it was a bit strange for an eagle to be called Babao...

Although it was Yang Yiyi who went to southern Xinjiang to rescue Ning Xian'er, Ning Xian'er was very worried about Yang Yiyi. Basically, she would ask Babao to send a message to her every three days, either asking where Yang Yiyi was or whether she had encountered any thieves.

From a certain perspective, this is also a matter of great importance in delivering the letter.

Yang Yiyi took out the pork jerky given by Li Chengxi from her arms and handed it to Babao, then took a small letter bucket from its feet.

Just as they were about to open it, Zhou Wenyi said:
"There are many people here, so it's better not to show off."

That’s right. The eagle attracted a lot of people’s attention when it flew down. It would be better if as few people as possible knew about Yang Yiyi helping Ning Xianer deliver the letter.
