Abnormal crossing

Chapter 84: Garbage Galaxy (two chapters in one)

The depths of the boundless universe.

A faint blue light flickered on the surface of the Flutter Flutter as it slowly moved through the dark starry sky.

The entire spacecraft is like an exquisite gem floating on black satin, forming a sharp contrast with the cold cosmic background.

at the same time.

In the main control room of the spacecraft.

Milo was carefully looking through the information that Alelie had just provided: "Jokoven, 65 years old, from Molde, worked on the Song of Songs, Trash, and Yo-Yo for 14 years."

"Five years ago, we took out a loan to establish the Burning Crusade Exploration Team. We are currently rated as intermediate, with nine registered crew members. Our spaceship is the Khan series produced by Tongliao Heavy Industry. We have completed seven primary missions and one intermediate mission since registration. We have tried to apply for the exploration domain qualification but were rejected."

After a while.

After scanning all the information, Milo raised his head again and looked at Alielie in front of him: "Board, it seems that this Qiao Kewen seems to be quite brave?"

To know.

Unlike an honor system that is so finely tuned that it can be described as nitpicking.

The Star Alliance's classification of exploration teams is relatively loose or vague:

Within the entire system framework, all exploration teams are divided into only three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced.

Each team is a primary exploration team when it is newly established. After completing the corresponding tasks, they will obtain corresponding team points. If the points meet the requirements, they can advance to the next level.

And the special thing is that the threshold for promotion is actually not high.

Generally speaking, old fleets that have been in the starry sea for forty to fifty years can basically be promoted to advanced exploration teams. The key to truly determining the difference between teams lies in the team points - although team points cannot be directly exchanged with alliance coins like the personal contribution points obtained by Gu Wei, they can be exchanged for various resources within the exploration team system.

These resources include spaceships, various technical drawings, planets, and even galaxies.

So in a sense, the exploration team system is more like a store - the entry requirements are actually very low, as long as you are not wearing too tattered clothes you can enter, but what you can buy depends entirely on how fat your wallet is.

But on the other hand.

Although the growth system of the Exploration Group is rather vague, most newbies are still very cautious at the beginning, and it is considered fast to be able to be promoted to an intermediate group within ten years.

It is not common to see a team like the Burning Crusade that has been promoted to intermediate level and even attempts to apply for exploration domain qualifications within five years of its establishment - and the captain's previous sailing experience is only more than ten years.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the captain named Jokovin should be a very brave person.

"Yes, this guy is really brave." Hearing Milo's question, Ah Lie also nodded: "Although the Burning Crusade has been operating in the known area since its establishment, they have basically gone to very remote areas - otherwise the Machine Soul Cult's laboratory would not have been discovered by them."

Seeing that Alie mentioned the Machine Soul Sect, Milo's expression became more serious: "What about other than the Burning Crusade? How much information have you found about the laboratory?"

"Almost everything is clear. In addition to the Fisherman's Wrath, they also found four manuscripts," the indicator light in the center of the Alele flashed:
"But the contents of the manuscript have nothing to do with the theoretical research of the Machine Soul Sect. It is mainly a record and diary of some periodic data of the star, and also some miscellaneous items such as calculation tools, chairs and tables."

Milo nodded, without showing much abnormality on his face: "Where are those manuscripts and sundries?"

"It's still in Qiao Kewen's hands," A Lielie said quickly. "It is said that some middlemen wanted to buy it at the beginning. Even the nearest Takla College sent a professor to check the situation. But after confirming that the manuscript had nothing to do with the Machine Soul Sect, everyone lost interest. In the end, Qiao Kewen sold the Fisherman's Wrath at a low price and left the main sequence with the remaining things."

Milo looked at Jin calmly and asked casually, "Banzi, is there any way to contact Qiao Kewen? If the price is not too high, I would be willing to take it and study it."

"Oh, it looks like you made a lot of money this time. Clearing out alien life forms makes money quickly," Alielie raised his voice in surprise, but soon returned to normal: "As for Qiao Kewen, it's strange. I tried to contact him, but the communication showed that he was not online."

Milo was stunned: "Not online?"

To know.

Star Talker is one of the most popular platforms in the starry sky, especially for the experienced people in the starry sky. This thing is almost a necessary tool for long-distance communication.

Even if faced with a special situation like the one Milo encountered before, which required closing communications, most people would just close message access while keeping their own status online.

Just like the penguin before Gu Wei traveled through time, if you don’t want to be disturbed, you can set it to Do Not Disturb or Invisible. In fact, not many people actually log out of their accounts.

Then Milo thought for a moment and asked Alelie, "Banzi, where is Qiao Kewen now?"

As if he had guessed what Milo was going to ask, Alelie gave an answer almost immediately: "Blue Bridge Galaxy."

Milo was stunned again: "Blue Bridge?"

Alielie: “That’s right.”

"."

After coming back to his senses, Milo took a deep breath and said, "Board, please synchronize their specific coordinates to me."

"OK," Alielie's indicator light flashed a few times quickly, and a set of data was quickly transmitted to the backend of Meeme: "Done, don't forget what I said before."

Milo made a galactic gesture toward the board, indicating understanding, and the two of them hung up the call.

After the conversation ends.

Jin, who was standing by, seemed to have guessed something: "Are you going to look for that Qiao Kewen next?"

"Yes," Milo nodded, and said while quickly flipping through the star map: "First, they still have manuscripts and sundries in their hands. Second, the Blue Bridge Galaxy and the Shik Community are in the same general direction. After finding them, we can also go to the memorial site on the National Day of Mourning. This should be the most reasonable route."

Jin Jing listened quietly and looked at Milo again: "You can try your luck at the same time, right?"

Milo just chuckled twice after hearing this, and did not respond to Jin's words. Instead, he turned to look at MeeMee and said, "MeeMee, send an evacuation email to Xiren and Honey, and tell them that we are leaving first - and locate the Blue Bridge Galaxy and rush over as soon as possible."

Meow Meow: "Got it." "Blue Bridge Galaxy, I haven't been there for a long time." Seeing Milo determine the next stop, Tianli standing next to Gu Wei couldn't help rubbing his hands: "I don't know what my luck will be this time. Big guy, what did you find last time?"

"Two expired gasoline cans," Kai shrugged. "Nono refused to drink them because they tasted too bland. They are still in the warehouse."

"Then I'm luckier than you," Tianli gestured what she learned from Gu Wei: "I picked up a few sets of old tri-state engines, and later sold them to a planetary civilization at a discount - the net profit was just enough to polish the back of the mecha."

"?"

Seeing Li Zi and Kai Yi's excitement, Gu Wei couldn't help but ask, "Li Zi, Kai Yi, what is the Blue Bridge Galaxy you are talking about?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you haven't been there yet," Kai pointed to the star map on the console and explained, "The Blue Bridge Galaxy is quite famous in the starry sky. It's a garbage galaxy."

There were more colons on Gu Wei’s face: “???”

Why did this cloaked man start swearing for no reason?
"Don't get me wrong, Gu Wei." Fortunately, Li Zi saw Gu Wei's confusion and explained, "The garbage galaxy that the big guy mentioned is not an insult - it is a garbage galaxy in the literal sense. You can search for specific information on Xinghai Internet. Generally speaking, it is a very interesting place."

Gu Wei: “.”

Then he picked up the crew bracelet and entered the Blue Bridge Galaxy to search.

After a while.

A page of search results appeared in front of Gu Wei. He randomly clicked on the first page and read: "Blue Bridge Galaxy."

A few minutes later.

Gu Wei closed the page thoughtfully.

So that's what happened.
As Kay notes, the Blue Bridge Galaxy is a notorious junk galaxy—literally junk.

From a large scale, the Blue Bridge Galaxy has an overall shape similar to [ζ], with a short axis span of 8.7 light-years and a long axis span of 46.9 light-years.

The volume of the entire Blue Bridge Galaxy is approximately 5.213 times that of the Milky Way.

This size of galaxy is considered to be above average in the same category, but the most special thing about the Blue Bridge Galaxy is not its size, but its
It is a well-known garbage dump.

That's right.

The huge Blue Bridge Galaxy has been transformed by the Star Sea Civilization into a super-huge waste recycling center.

Almost every moment, astronomical amounts of waste are sent into the Blue Bridge Galaxy.

There are a large number of lifeless planets in the Blue Bridge Galaxy. These planets mainly come from areas that need to be relocated for various reasons. Under the influence of gravity, a considerable amount of waste sent into the Blue Bridge Galaxy is captured by these planets.

at the same time.

There is a huge dark matter ring on the outermost part of the Blue Bridge Galaxy, and inside is a gas disk composed of a large amount of gas and interstellar medium. Under the influence of the angular momentum of the gas and dust clouds, the entire galaxy is always rotating slowly in a left-handed form.

So on a larger scale, the Blue Bridge Galaxy has a dynamic cycle:
Garbage is sent into the galaxy → Garbage floats irregularly → Captured by planets → Planets shrink inward as the galaxy rotates left → As one group of planets shrinks, another group of planets and garbage fill in
As for what is at the end of the planet's contraction, there is not much explanation on the Internet platform - logically it looks like a black hole, but if it is just a black hole, there seems to be no need to hide it.

In addition to being a waste recycling station, the most talked-about thing about the Blue Bridge Galaxy is that
As long as you pay a certain fee, you can get temporary passage and be eligible to enter the Blue Bridge Galaxy to rummage through garbage.

"Um, I have a question." After reading the introduction of the Blue Bridge Galaxy, Gu Wei raised his hand like a curious baby: "These so-called wastes should have been checked before being sent to the Blue Bridge Galaxy. What good things can people find later?"

"That's right. Almost all garbage must go through a preliminary screening before entering the Blue Bridge System," Li Zi nodded calmly and explained, "But you have to know that with such an astronomical number of garbage, there will always be some uncontrollable accidents. Whether in theory or in reality, there are probabilities and cases of leaks."

"Not to mention that the concept of 'junk' is very subjective - something you think is useless may be sold for a good price if it is tinkered with by someone who knows how to do it. Who can tell?"

Gu Wei thought about it and agreed.

Just like the gambling on stones before he traveled through time, most of the stones that could produce ice-type stones were taken away as soon as they came out of the pit, and 99% of those that flowed into the country were second-hand or even N-hand goods that were left over.

But even so, there are still some cases of finding bargains.

For example, take the second situation mentioned by Li Zi.

Let's talk about the recent past. Before Gu Wei traveled through time, he knew an old senior who was able to discard the resistance wire and fan blades of a hair dryer and the motor of a broken toy car discarded by a child, and made a small drone that could fly seven or eight meters.
Things like craftsmanship are possible in countless ways on Earth, let alone in a world like the starry sky - maybe that pervert next to you has this ability.

"In fact, the Blue Bridge Galaxy has also been promoting these things," Kai said after Li Zi finished speaking. "In recent years, the Blue Bridge Galaxy has been cooperating with the Xinghai Literature Network in sponsorship, and has spent a lot of money to invite Xinghai writers to write novels of the same type - the down-and-out protagonist is exiled to the starry sky, and by chance he picks up some treasure in the Blue Bridge Galaxy, which is finally engraved into the monument of civilization, etc."

"Although the plot is a bit old-fashioned, there are many new readers every year, so similar themes have always been popular over the years, and the business of the Blue Bridge Star System has also been good - even many people's first thing to do when they become adults is to go to the Blue Bridge Star System to search for garbage to fulfill their dreams."

Gu Wei: “.”

"Don't expect the kind of fantasies in novels," Milo walked up to them with a drink while they were talking. "Our main goal this time is to find the people from the Burning Crusade. We're just going to the Blue Bridge System for some fun and to let Gu Wei see the world. We just happened to make some money from the alien life, so let's just treat it as a team-building activity for everyone."

"You're shameless enough to say that you're going to a recycling station to look through garbage as a team building activity." After hearing what Milo said, the big eyes in the translator immediately fought back: "Also, don't think I don't know that you also wrote that kind of novel on Xinghai Literature Network a few years ago. The protagonist used his real name, and the book was called "..."

"What the hell?"

Before Big Eyeball could finish his words, Milo jumped up and asked, "How did you know this?"

"Tsk, how fresh," Gu Wei rolled his eyes repeatedly when he saw the big eyes: "Do you think this is the first time I get on and off your boat through the back door? - I'm not exaggerating, I know a lot of the dark history of you old drivers, okay?"

Milo: “.”

Gu Wei: “.”

It turns out that this captain of mine has a dark history of being a middle school student.
I have learned a lot.JPG.
