Chapter 742 Guest Star City

Cape Had is located in the gap at the edge of the Dead Sea. To its left, right and back is the Dead Sea, making its location like a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, embedded in the star map.

But first we need to understand a concept. Although the name of the Dead Sea has the word "sea" in it, it is not like the sea where everything is flat except for the waves.

On the map it is a plane, but on the star map it is a large irregular area of ​​air like a cloud, and no one can tell clearly whether the Sea of ​​Silence is expanding.

From this perspective, Horn of Had is not sandwiched in the cracks of the Dead Sea, but is hidden inside it.

To use a common metaphor, if the Dead Sea is a butt, then the Corner of Hades is a chrysanthemum.

It can be said to be very appropriate.

The star in the galaxy of Hades Horn is a red giant, and there are three planets orbiting the red giant. It is said that there were originally more, but they were all swallowed up by the red giant.

The destination that Manta is heading to is the celestial body farthest from the red giant star, with a diameter of about 3,500 kilometers.

That's right, this thing is not much bigger than the moon.

However, this celestial body is almost entirely composed of ice and water beneath the ice, which is a very precious resource.

Alan Starlink's water source comes from capturing water-rich asteroids and its own efficient water circulation system. If there is such a large water ball nearby, it will be very convenient for living.

This is indeed the case. When the Manta Ray approached, it could see large mining bases on the surface of the planet where locals mined water as a mineral.

And next to this water ball, there is a huge colonial satellite.

It is cigar-shaped, with six huge solar panels unfolded at one end, facing the red giant star in the center of the galaxy like petals. And the colony satellite is rotating on its axis, obtaining artificial gravity in this way.

——This one looks very similar to the one that hit Sydney.

Alyssa said this place is called Kexing City. Li Chengxi was a little puzzled, thinking that the name looked a bit strange. Logically speaking, Li Chengxi's translation of the divine nature was always very faithful, accurate and elegant.

So he took out his mobile phone and searched it, and then he understood that guest star means "star that appears suddenly and then slowly disappears" in astronomical terminology.

Although the original text of Guest Star City is definitely different, the meaning is the same.

This colony was established suddenly. It is surrounded on three sides by the Dead Sea which may expand. In addition, there are red giant stars in the galaxy. Everything is extremely deadly. It may take a long time for it to disappear, or it may be destroyed in the next second. No one can say for sure.

It can be said to be very faithful, expressive and elegant.

The guest star city is neither located on an important shipping route nor has any particularly rare resources, so building a colonial satellite here seems very stupid.

But there are quite a few spaceships visiting Star City, and you have to queue up to enter and exit the port. It is not very safe here. When you come, you can see a large area of ​​ship wreckage, as if a war had just broken out not long ago.

To prevent the debris from blocking the waterway, many recovery boats can be seen pushing the debris to the side where it will not get in the way.

While waiting in line, you can see what's going on inside through the partially transparent shell of the colony satellite. There are tall buildings and neon lights everywhere, flying motorcycles whizzing by from time to time, and you can even see flashes of explosions.

This reminded Li Chengxi of the classic line "Welcome to Night City".

As I said earlier, the guest star city is neither on an important shipping route nor has any particularly rare resources, so building a colonial satellite here is a madman.

However, it attracts many ships simply because it is a real lawless city.

This galaxy was discovered by a group of pirates, who later built a colonial satellite here as a supply base, and then slowly developed to its present state.

There are only two rules in Kexing City.

First, the Hard Gang manages this city. If the Hard Gang says you can’t mess around in a certain place, then you can’t mess around either. If you touch the Hard Gang’s cake, you will die.

Second, everyone has fun.

Due to its characteristics, this is the largest black trade center in the vicinity, involving organ trafficking, human trafficking, contraband, arms and all other highly profitable industries written in the criminal law. It is a gathering place for scum from all over the void, and even the devil will kick them in the face.

As you can imagine, the people on the ships queuing to enter the port are obviously not good people.

It’s not that the official doesn’t know about the existence of this place, it’s just that the Dead Sea is too difficult to deal with.

It is difficult for large fleets to jump close, and small fleets cannot defeat them. Over time, they simply ignore them.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the Manta finally arrived at the port. The huge mechanical arm placed the Manta on the rotating apron after landing on the conveyor belt. Li Chengxi turned off the engine. At this time, Alyssa turned around and said to Fang Lanyin:
"The people in this city are not easy to mess with. You must remember to follow me closely and never get lost. Do not get into conflict with strangers, and it is best not to have any conversation with them."

Fang Lanyin is similar to Yang Yiyi, a big-footed country girl from the countryside. When she comes to such a haunted place, she might be fooled away in just a few words.

Fang Lanyin was a little nervous herself, and nodded quickly when she heard that.

"Got a gun?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law gave it to me."

"Put it where you can get it most easily. Don't cover it with clothes. If it's exposed, anyone without a weapon in this place is a dead man."

Listening to Alyssa’s description, you can tell how outrageous this place is.

"By the way, what on earth do you want to do in such a damn place?"

"The main goal is to obtain financing, preferably to get a cruise ship, and the second is to find people, but the possibility of achieving the main goal is not high."

After casually explaining to Li Chengxi, Alyssa unbuckled her seat belt and stood up to leave.

Now Li Chengxi was anxious.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, you're leaving me here after you leave?"

"The port is the territory of the Hard Gang. No one dares to mess around here. I have asked someone to help you add liquefied magic."

"That's not the problem. It's boring for me to stay here alone."

"..."

Are you bored?
What? You still want to drive the shuttle in with us?

Only a few shuttles were allowed to fly within the colony satellite, and Alyssa, an outsider, certainly couldn't get permission.

"That's not what I meant. Take out that metal plate."

"This? What's it for?"

"Put it on a personal terminal. Well, let's put it on Fang Lanyin's personal terminal."

Alyssa didn’t understand why, but she did it anyway.

Soon, the screen of the personal terminal on Fang Lanyin's arm displayed the words "Initialization of the creative machine. Divine crystal completed."

A prompt also appeared on Li Chengxi's side. He pressed the direction keys on the keyboard, and the perspective changed slightly.

The original perspective was centered on the cockpit of the Manta, but now the perspective has become Fang Lanyin.

"It's done. Now I can go in with you and take a look."

This time, Li Chengxi's voice did not come from the speaker under the oscilloscope, but from the speaker of Fang Lanyin's personal terminal.

"You can actually transfer?"

"I just remembered it recently."

I remember that in the initial opening animation, there was a scene where Alyssa put the metal plate brought out from the ruins on the oscilloscope. Maybe that metal plate was the key for Li Chengxi to switch and control different vehicles. I tried it and it turned out to be true.

"Don't worry, I can always switch back to the Manta."

"Okay, I just don't understand why you want to put it on Fang Lanyin's personal terminal. Can't it be my personal terminal model?"

"No, because Fang Lanyin looks more sexy than you."

"..."

Damn it, I want to hit someone.
