Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

These satellites operate at high speeds in low Earth orbit. Once a satellite flies away and the footage is about to be interrupted, another new Tianyan satellite will immediately approach and take over, transmitting new footage to ensure that the girls can watch this "live-action flying show" without interruption.

Chapter 276: New Home

The girls held their breath, their eyes fixed on the figure with shimmering wings against a deep background on the big screen, their eyes filled with amazement and admiration.

The images transmitted from this altitude clearly show the dark space and the entire blue and magnificent planet below.

The planet's arc-shaped edge is clearly visible, and a thin atmosphere that gradually changes from deep blue to light blue before merging into the darkness of the universe can be clearly observed—this visual spectacle thoroughly shatters any absurd "geoping theory" and reveals the true appearance of the world they inhabit.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Chen Ming set the [Tiangong] space city as the ultimate goal, and an icon representing the space city immediately appeared in the simulated trajectory diagram in his field of vision.

Moreover, the space city's flight path was clearly calculated and marked by [Crimson], like a bright line encircling the planet.

"Target locked, Master. Planning the optimal approach route for you."

The voice of "Crimson" rang out directly through the bone conduction headphones of the AR glasses.

Following the instructions, Chen Ming slightly adjusted the angle and thrust direction of the light wings behind him. At the same time, the light from the light wings dimmed slightly, and he began to decelerate.

He accelerated directly from the Earth's surface, so his speed was naturally much faster than that of the space city, which had already entered a stable orbit and relied on inertial flight.

Moreover, Chen Ming is not here to cause trouble. To achieve a safe landing, it would be best to maintain a similar speed and orbit to the space city.

With the precise assistance of [Crimson], Chen Ming's flight trajectory was constantly fine-tuned.

Gradually, on the predicted simulated orbit diagram, the far end of the curve representing Chen Ming's flight trajectory finally touched and overlapped with the bright line representing the space city's orbit.

His flight path also changed accordingly, from an escape curve that was originally intended to get away from the planet, to being captured by the planet's gravity, and finally becoming a near-perfect circular orbit.

The real-time calculation results of the simulated trajectory show that the precise intersection point between him and the space city's orbit is expected to arrive in a dozen seconds.

At the moment of rendezvous, the straight-line distance between him and the space city will be only 8 meters, while the relative speed will be controlled at an extremely low 2 meters per second. Both sides will maintain the same direction of flight, which creates excellent conditions for a safe landing.

Because Chen Ming landed directly with his physical body, rather than through a rigid docking between the massive spaceship and the space city, the margin for error was much higher, and there was no need to reduce the relative speed to the theoretical zero.

Moreover, he has a final guarantee—[Instant Teleportation]. As long as his vision can capture the specific entrance to the space city, even if there is only a slight difference in distance or speed, he can cross it instantly, making his margin for error virtually unlimited.

As time ticked by, Chen Ming rapidly closed the distance between himself and the space city.

The massive man-made wonder—the silver ring-shaped main body of the [Tiangong] space city—grew larger and larger in his field of vision, and the details became clearer and clearer.

Located at the center of the ring, the zero-gravity zone, which serves as the structural core and transportation hub, extends six robust tubular connecting arms that, like bridges, steadily connect the central hub area to the surrounding ring-shaped living area.

Chen Ming's destination, the main entrance to the Space City, is located in that central hub area.

Finally, Chen Ming arrived precisely at the calculated intersection point.

Almost simultaneously, the heavy, circular airlock entrance of the space city, cast from a special alloy, slid open silently and smoothly under the remote control of [Crimson], revealing a brightly lit, futuristic passageway inside.

At this moment, from a macroscopic cosmic perspective, Chen Ming and the space city are both orbiting the Earth's center at a high-speed circular motion at the first cosmic velocity of 7.89 kilometers per second.

However, if the space city is used as a frame of reference, Chen Ming cannot even feel that he is flying at high speed.

The two sides maintained a gentle relative speed of 2 meters per second, like two dancers slowly approaching each other on a ping track.

Chen Ming didn't even need to use [Instant Teleportation]. The six pairs of radiant wings behind him simply flapped gently and elegantly. The resulting thrust was enough for him to precisely glide across the short 8-meter gap and steadily fly into the already open entrance of the space city.

After all, this is his own property, so he naturally has to be careful to avoid bumping or damaging it.

Just after Chen Mingfei entered the open circular passage, a very faint mechanical transmission sound was heard. The circular airlock, cast from a special alloy, slid rapidly and closed tightly again, completely isolating the external vacuum environment of space.

Immediately afterwards, the sensor system hidden inside the tunnel detected the pressure change and emitted an almost inaudible inflation sound.

A continuous flow of air begins to be efficiently injected into the channel through the tiny grilles on the wall.

Under the monitoring of [Crimson], the barometer reading steadily rose, gradually recovering from a near-vacuum state to a level exactly equivalent to one standard atmosphere on Earth. The entire process was quiet and rapid, demonstrating the remarkable performance of this space city's life support system.

Only after the air injection was complete and the internal air pressure was fully stabilized did the other alloy door on the inside of the passage slowly slide open to one side with a soft pneumatic sound, like the curtain of a stage being drawn back, revealing the true scene inside to Chen Ming.

Behind the door lies the core area of ​​the [Tiangong] space city—the central hub area. The scene here is full of futuristic science fiction: the spacious space presents a minimalist layout, with countless tiny indicator lights like stars adorning the control panels and equipment. Six tubular docking passages leading to different circular living areas are symmetrically distributed like the roots of a giant tree. Some small service robots are gliding silently along the preset magnetic tracks. Outside the huge observation portholes, there is a deep and boundless starry sky and the blue planet below, forming a breathtaking backdrop.

The entire space is spotless, quiet and efficient, and full of the aesthetic order brought by cutting-edge technology.

Although it was Chen Ming's first time personally visiting this "Tiangong" space city, he was filled with curiosity about everything here.

However, he suppressed the urge to fly in and take a closer look. He quickly scanned the area, and after confirming that the space was spacious enough and the environment was safe, he activated [Instant Teleport] again without hesitation.

The next moment, he was back in the square in front of the villa of the hillside manor owner, where a lot of people had already gathered.

Without much explanation, he activated his ability again, this time covering all the harem girls who had been notified to gather, as well as the loyal and adorable maids in the manor.

Space rippled again, and a flash of light appeared. When their vision cleared again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar, futuristic environment.

"Welcome to our future new home."

Chen Ming's voice rang out in the corridor, carrying a hint of barely perceptible satisfaction and pride.

He had already retracted the six pairs of light wings that occupied his position. At this moment, just like everyone else, his body was slightly floating in the center of the passage. Because this place was located on the geometric central axis of the circular space city, there was no centrifugal force to be used to simulate gravity through rotation, so the sensation was completely zero gravity, and people would naturally float up.

"Wow!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, the harem girls and maids burst into excited cheers.

Although thanks to the long-term systematic modern education provided by [Crimson], everyone is familiar with the basic concepts, principles, and even operation of space cities.

But just like people in modern society, they're all just talking theory.

Now that they have actually entered this magnificent space city and witnessed the scenes that only exist in science fiction, and personally experienced the wonderful feeling of weightlessness, they naturally feel extremely excited and thrilled, finding it all very novel and interesting.

Because of the lack of gravity, they were all floating in the air. Some of the quick-reacting girls had already grabbed the handrails installed on the wall to facilitate movement in zero gravity, and then, like divers moving underwater, used the strength of their arms to pull their bodies slowly towards the interior of the passage and the central hub area.

Under the precise control of [Crimson], the oxygen content, air pressure, humidity, and even temperature here are all controlled to be exactly the same as the living environment on the planet's surface, making breathing exactly the same as on the ground.

Therefore, the girls did not experience any discomfort, which greatly alleviated the physiological stress that might have been caused by the sudden change in environment.

The lively and energetic Taldor soon found that drifting forward little by little while holding onto the handrail was too slow and not exciting enough.

Then, a clever idea struck her. Her little feet deftly pushed off the alloy wall, using the reaction force to propel her body diagonally towards the central hub at the end of the passage. She continued this "wall-jumping" back and forth between the two walls with great enthusiasm, like a nimble bouncy ball, getting faster and faster, having a wonderful time.

Alpha, following behind, watched his daughter speed up and faster, darting around the passageway like a bouncy ball, and couldn't help but shout worriedly, "Taldo! Slow down! Be careful not to bump into something!"

"It's okay, Mom! It's not fast at all! It's really fun! You should try it too!"

While answering excitedly, Taldo continued to kick the wall with her energetic little legs to accelerate, completely immersed in the joy of this novel way of moving in zero gravity.

Before long, with her ever-increasing speed, she was the first to "fly" past the alloy door at the end of the passage and enter the more spacious central hub area.

However, once she entered the open area, without the wall as a "stepping stone," she couldn't immediately slow down. Inertia propelled her at high speed, sending her hurtling straight towards the distant wall opposite the hub!

Taldo's smile instantly turned into panic. She flailed her arms and legs wildly in the air like a frightened kitten, trying to grab onto something to slow down.

However, in the open space of zero gravity, with nothing around her, she couldn't find any point of leverage to slow down.

With the solid wall right in front of her and no way to avoid it, Tardor, in desperation, could only subconsciously mobilize the magic power within her body to quickly strengthen her physical strength and defense, hoping that the collision would not hurt too much.

Just as she closed her eyes, bracing herself for the impact—

Suddenly, a tiny crack appeared in a certain area of ​​the seemingly smooth and intact wall directly in front of us!

Immediately afterwards, with a deep and powerful "bang," a huge, white airbag popped out of the crack at an astonishing speed, inflated instantly, and perfectly filled the impact area in front of her!

Taldur's body slammed solidly into the soft and elastic airbag with a muffled "plop," and she was completely enveloped in that white "cloud," where all the impact was effectively absorbed and cushioned.

She opened her eyes, still shaken, and breathed a long sigh of relief when she found herself completely unharmed.

"I knew you guys would do something like this..."

Looking at the comical sight of Taldur emerging from the airbag, Chen Ming couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, his tone carrying a hint of expected helplessness and indulgence, "The alloy walls inside this space city are pre-installed with an intelligent sensing safety airbag system, specifically designed to prevent curious little ones like you from losing control of your speed in zero gravity and getting injured in a collision."

Taldur stretched out her arms from the soft airbag, like a little crab waving its pincers, excitedly waving them toward Chen Ming. Her face showed no lingering fear of surviving a close call, but rather was full of novelty and excitement.

Alpha immediately used the handrail and a bit of skill to quickly float over, and with a concerned look on his face, he reached out and grabbed his daughter's arm, carefully pulling her out of the still slightly swaying airbag.

"Wow, that was so much fun! It felt like I was flying! I thought I was really going to crash into the wall!"

"Taldo laughed."

The huge white airbag seemed to have completed its mission, and began to emit a slight hissing sound as it slowly deflated. After shrinking in size, it automatically retracted into the wall. The whole process was smooth and quiet, and the gaps closed up seamlessly. The wall returned to its previous appearance, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Chen Ming and the other girls and maids all floated into the spacious central hub area.

In zero gravity, movement control is not easy. People behind will inevitably bump into those in front. Everyone is like a group of small fish playing in the water, laughing and huddling together. Then, relying on tiny pushes or grabbing onto fixed objects, they slowly disperse and adjust their relative positions. The scene is somewhat chaotic but full of laughter.

At the same time, the heavy alloy door in the passage behind them closed silently and slowly, separating the entrance passage from the central hub area again, ensuring the stability and safety of the internal environment.

Chapter 277: Stealing Food

"Alright, next we're going to the circular living area. You can get there from any of these six directions."

Chen Ming clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, then pointed to the six tubular docking arms surrounding the central hub area.

The term "tubular docking arm" may sound thin, but in reality, these passageways connecting the central hub area and the circular living area are extremely robust, with diameters reaching hundreds of meters. Inside each pipe, there are ten freight elevators for transporting large goods and fifty passenger elevators for passage, providing ample transport capacity.

Chen Ming led the girls in a random direction, and they split up to enter one of the fifty passenger elevators. The elevators were spacious, but due to the large number of people, each one was packed to the brim.

Of course, Chen Ming was crammed into the same elevator with his harem, pressed tightly together. The physical contact provided stable support, so there was no need to wear seat belts. An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the elevator space.

As the elevator doors closed, the elevator began to descend slowly along the pipes of the docking arm towards the outer circular living area.

At the same time, the feeling of weightlessness gradually disappeared, and the body was gently pulled towards the bottom of the elevator by centrifugal force.

No longer floating inside the elevator, everyone's feet began to make real contact with the metal floor, and the reassuring feeling of gravity gradually returned. Although this gravity was simulated by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the ring structure, it felt almost identical to that on the ground.

Fifty passenger elevators arrived at their destinations one after another, accompanied by crisp announcements.

The transparent elevator doors slid open silently to both sides, and the group stepped out of the elevator lobby as naturally as if walking on the ground. The scene that greeted them caused everyone to gasp in amazement—

What lay before me was not the cold, impersonal metal corridor or mechanical cabin I had imagined, but a refreshing garden promenade, where lush greenery and vibrant life filled the view.

Beneath your feet lies a soft, verdant meadow, like a green carpet; on either side are neatly trimmed, emerald-green holly bushes, forming a natural fence; further away, there are many lush trees laden with fruit, bright red cherries, golden loquats, deep red bayberries... Under the soft "sunlight" created by the simulated natural lighting system, they exude an alluring luster and a faint fruity fragrance.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of plants and earth, as if the most beautiful spring garden on Earth has been transported to space.

Chen Ming noticed a crystal-clear stream not far away, its water flowing merrily along the winding course, making a babbling sound, appearing rapid and full of vitality. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the stream was actually an ingeniously designed swimming pool. The water was extremely clear, and he could even see the sky-blue tiles on the pool walls, reflecting shimmering light under the lamps, creating a picturesque scene with the surrounding greenery.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! This place... this place is simply a fairyland!"

The legendary, chisel-resistant Queen Alice was the first to exclaim in surprise, her eyes widening in astonishment.

"So, this is our rooftop garden. Isn't it nice?"

Looking at the girls' surprised expressions, Chen Ming smiled smugly. This garden corridor was an ecological area he had specifically requested Crimson to design as a key element of the living area, aiming to provide a soothing natural space for long-term space living.

Taldo couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She ran to the stream pool, knelt on the soft meadow, and carefully dipped her hands into the clear water, gently swaying them as she felt the coolness and texture of the water flowing over her fingertips. Her face was filled with innocent joy.

Even the usually well-trained and poised maids forgot their composure, gazing at the dreamlike scenery around them with expressions of intoxication and joy, as if they were in an incredible fairytale world. This space city not only provided safe haven but also offered a living experience beyond imagination.

"That's sooooo awesome!!" Tia exclaimed, her face flushed with excitement.

"It's like a dream house! No, a dream city!" Marho couldn't help but exclaim. "There are gardens, flowing water, fruit trees... and the air is so fresh. It's unbelievable that we're actually in space, far away from the ground! It's amazing!"

Alpha pointed to a patch of lush green grass near a stream, bathed in sunlight, and asked, "Master, may I cultivate a small vegetable garden here?"

Seeing the expectant look in Alpha's eyes, Chen Ming smiled and nodded, explaining, "Don't worry, this garden already has land reserved for you to freely explore. And it's not just here..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the ground beneath his feet, "Underground in the living area, there's a massive vertical farming facility. It utilizes state-of-the-art hydroponics and artificial lighting technology, allowing it to produce various vegetables, fruits, and even grains year-round, without seasonal limitations. You can grow whatever you want..."

While he was carefully explaining things, the lively and energetic Taldoo couldn't contain her excitement to play in the water.

Amidst a burst of silvery laughter, Taldo was the first to quickly strip naked, revealing her healthy, fair skin. Then, without hesitation, she jumped into the crystal-clear stream with a "plop," like a nimble little fish.

"Hahaha! This feels so good! Get down here!"

Taldur was a very good swimmer, splashing around nimbly in the water as she drifted forward with the swift current, waving back to the shore as she went.

With her taking the lead, more than a dozen maids also put aside their shyness, took off their clothes, and jumped into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

In an instant, more than a dozen graceful white figures appeared in the stream. They laughed and splashed water at each other, drifting downstream with the current, creating a moving scene full of youthful vitality.

Alpha watched his daughter and a group of maids splashing around in the water. Although he knew the water wasn't deep, he couldn't help but worry and asked Chen Ming, "Master, is...is there any danger in this water? The current looks a bit strong..."

"It's okay, don't worry."

Chen Ming smiled and reassured Alpha, "There are no sharp objects in this stream, and the deepest point only reaches their necks. The bottom and edges are reinforced with anti-collision measures. More importantly..."

He pointed to some inconspicuous little devices disguised as rocks on the shore: "[Crimson] has set up 24/7 monitoring here, and there are also dedicated rescue robots on standby. In the event of any accident, such as someone getting cramps or drowning, the system will immediately sound an alarm, the robot will carry out the rescue within seconds, and we will be notified at the same time. Let them have fun."

After calming Alpha down, Chen Ming smiled and waved to everyone, pointing upstream towards the stream: "Alright, our new home in Space City isn't far ahead. Let's go take a look!"
