Gourmet Supplier: I Sell Interdimensional Ingredients in China

Xu Milu was drowning in debt. After obtaining a dimensional travel system, she embarked on an irreversible path of selling interdimensional ingredients across the universe.

She hawks pearls f...

Chapter 22 [The Wandering Earth] Xihe (Part Two)

The technology in the Wandering Earth universe is truly amazing.

Xu Milu stood in the observation room, looking through the explosion-proof glass that was more than ten meters thick, and sighed.

In the spaceship docking room in front of her, a sleek, silver-white spaceship was quietly parked.

It is so huge that countless workers carry out maintenance and repairs on it, yet it is as small as an ant.

Although she had seen the blueprints before, they were just a bunch of data on paper. Now that she has seen the data become reality, Xu Milu is still amazed.

The spaceship has undergone complete maintenance, and its overall shape resembles a large bird about to take flight, surrounded by an oval ring.

This is the observation cabin on the spacecraft. When the spacecraft starts, this observation cabin will rotate continuously for 24 hours, making a circular motion around the entire spacecraft.

The ship's hull is decorated with a phoenix pattern made of a special material. Under the starlight, a golden-red phoenix can be seen engraved on it, as beautiful as a creation of the gods.

—The ceiling above the docking room is retractable. As long as the engineers press a button, tens of thousands of huge starry sky ceiling panels will retract, making room for the spacecraft to take off.

When the blueprints were first designed, the Xihe was classified as an exploration ship, so unlike those "big guys" on the StarNet that are tens of thousands of meters long, its length is only 1,500 meters.

Of course, this is only compared to some large spaceships; in reality, its length is equivalent to that of a 500-story building.

—This name also has a great meaning. In ancient mythology, "Xihe" is the goddess of the sun and the one who sets the calendar. She emerges from the sun and corresponds to the moon goddess "Wangshu".

Giving a spaceship this name is a kind of romance that only the Chinese would understand.

The bespectacled engineer, carrying a thick stack of documents, passionately explained them to Xu Milu as if introducing his own child:

"Teacher Xu, our Xihe is 1,500 meters long and 900 meters high. Including the energy and power system at the bottom, it has a total of 30 floors."

As per your request, the spaceship's interior includes an observation deck, cabins, control consoles, a medical room, escape pods, and is also equipped with a club, bar, holographic entertainment room, wine cellar, hot spring, beauty salon, swimming pool, collection hall, library, maintenance workshop, ecological park..."

This engineer seems unable to stop talking once he starts:

"Of course, the interior design style was also based on the modern design style of Honghe Botanical Garden. We consulted relevant experts before we developed this design plan."

For example, the above-mentioned botanical and zoological park occupies three whole floors, providing ample space to simulate various animal and plant habitats, such as deserts, swamps, rainforests, snowfields, and ice fields.

While ensuring the oxygen supply for the entire ship, it also achieves a balance between aesthetic and leisure needs.

This way, even if the spaceship never docks, it will have a sufficient supply of food and oxygen, making it completely self-sufficient.

Xu Milu's face went numb from listening.

She requested the addition of a cafeteria from the beginning. Where did these beauty salons and hot spring resorts come from?

Also, when exactly did you manage to get in touch with Earth in this dimension through the food stall?

No wonder she said they haven't been contacting him lately.

So, the two Earth's Chinese rabbits have secretly formed an alliance?

Pshaw, you can't use the word "flirt".

We must cooperate sincerely, achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind.

Thinking about it that way, her identities as "Ren Honghe" and "Xu Milu" are completely ruined; they've probably been stripped down to nothing but her underwear.

Thankfully, her identity as "Ren Qingluan" hasn't been exposed yet.

...

...

"Of course, we will also provide experienced service personnel."

The engineer rubbed his hands together expectantly, looking at her with sincere eyes:

"After all, the subsequent maintenance and repair of the spacecraft will require manpower... Do you think I'm up to the task? I'm 39 years old this year, with a bachelor's degree from Peking University and a combined master's and doctoral degree from the Technical University of Munich. I'm proficient in mechanical repair..."

Honestly, if he could really fly into space, I'd be happy to let him work as a nail technician there!

Xu Milu pondered for a moment, her mind racing with thoughts.

She miscalculated; she hadn't expected the Xihe ship to be so large, which meant she would need a lot more manpower.

In the Journey to the West universe, Old Man Hu and Bai Tuan'er can summon about a hundred foxes and rats, while Mo Xuan can also summon dragon girls and clam spirits.

In the Food World, Aoki and those twenty-odd Lotus Root players can also fill in some manpower.

The magical plane is home to Fanny and the Arctic Wolf clan, but of course, she would also welcome other orc races.

As for the cleaning work on the ship, it can be completely handed over to the slime army cultivated by Ah Chou. Those things are useful and cheap.

Of course, the majority of the spots should be reserved for Earthlings from this plane; two hundred people are enough.

The Wandering Earth dimension provided over thirty astronaut slots, plus miscellaneous maintenance personnel, leaving a large manpower shortage that could be filled entirely by androids from the apocalyptic dimension.

So, manpower isn't a problem. With Xiao Qi around, piloting the spaceship won't be a major obstacle.

"I can set aside another twenty positions to recruit some spacecraft routine maintenance personnel."

Xu Milu had made up her mind, and her speaking speed increased considerably:

"The requirements are the same as for astronauts: the crew members must be highly skilled, have a clear identity, and most importantly, have strong mental fortitude."

Leaving aside the mountain spirits and monsters of the Journey to the West world, or the elves and orcs of the magic world, if one's mental fortitude is not strong, one would be so frightened by the sight of the Matilda aliens covered in skeletons that one would faint.

In the observation room, several elderly professors and engineers with gray hair were so excited that their voices changed, and they seemed ready to jump for joy.
