Chapter 268 Interstellar Travel

"This is the Emerald Skirt Spaceport No. 2. From 11:12 to 11:40, there will be a temporary control to suspend the take-off and landing of spacecraft and shuttles. Please take a rest and wait for a while."

Walking on the silver metal floor, Tilan couldn't help but look up and around. This was her first time leaving the planet below and entering space.

There are three spaceports surrounding the Emerald Skirt. Among them, Spaceport No. 3 is generally not used and is reserved for backup and rotation. Now she is in Spaceport No. 2 with the largest passenger flow. Through the giant floor-to-ceiling windows not far away, she can see the distant starry sky, as well as the spacecrafts that shuttle or dock from time to time around.

"Is this your first time here, Tilan?" Seeing that she was a little fresh, the priest sister who led and protected Tilan asked with a smile.

"Yes, the first time."

"No wonder, the first time I went into space was when I was about seven years old. At that time, I also lay in front of the French window and refused to leave, looking at the huge and blue planet below. I still remember that scene until now, it was very shocking." She held the tin staff in one hand and held the hair in front of her with the other hand, and said reminiscingly.

"Going into space at the age of seven? Is that unsafe?" The girl remembered that the textbooks said that super-time and space travel is very stressful for people, and at least sequence 2 or above can be carried out.

"Not really, because that time was a trip within the galaxy, and the process was relatively mild."

"There are two habitable stars in the star system where I lived when I was a child. Because they are not far apart, you can take a spaceship to travel to another planet." She explained the difference.

While the two were chatting, six fully armed soldiers walked quickly to the side. They first stood still, and then a captain reported.

"The star port docking station has been inspected and you can board the ship. Please follow me."

"Then let's set off, Tilan." The accompanying priestess nodded to the girl, and then the four of them protected Tilan in the middle, and several warriors escorted her in front and behind, and entered the ramp entrance opened on the side.

Standing on the special magnetic floor without moving, the group of people followed the track's transmission and moved forward in the long passage. This is a long-arm corridor in the star port. Through the transparent metal glass on both sides of the corridor, you can see the medium-sized starship docked outside. Its hull is slender, and the surface is flashing with white spots. The shape is like a folded wing, which has a sacred and beautiful feeling.

The special starship of the 'Light Analysis Wing' class has weaker offensive power, but its own protection is excellent, and it can carry out multiple modes of superluminal navigation. It is extremely difficult for ordinary warships to track its track. It is often used to protect special people and targets, and is also used as a high-end cross-star domain navigation vehicle.

"This is it."

When the group arrived at the starship connection, the track floor stopped, and then the closed special steel door unlocked and opened to both sides, revealing a bright yellow passage in front of them.

The entire passage was like a yellow crystal grille, with a faint glow flowing on it. When Tilan stepped on it, she felt a sense of weightlessness and her body floated slightly. After all, this was neither the inside of the Starport Space Station nor the inside of the starship, and there was no gravity generator.

"Follow me." The priestess beside her held Tilan's hand, and then she shuttled through the bright yellow passage as easily as a fish, taking her to swim to the huge starship in front of her.

The passage, which was about 100 meters long, was particularly small against the backdrop of the space station next to it, while the starry sky outside was a more vast and boundless world. It was so empty and cold that just swimming in it gave Tilan an exceptionally different experience. It

was very fresh, with an illusion of being shocked, and also a feeling of being extremely small. She carefully savored the feeling of entering the starry sky for the first time.

Finally, when they arrived inside the starship, the girl's toes in light black shoes landed on the ground deck, and then she felt the return of gravity.

Following the four priestesses, Tilan continued to go inside, and she kept passing through doors until she finally arrived at a large and empty space inside the starship. The ceiling above was transparent, reflecting the scene of the starry sky outside the starship, and there were eight large display screens around the dome, showing images around the starship from all angles. Here you can see the outline of the star port and the starships docked next to other long arms not far away.

"Please follow me, Miss Tilan. Your room has been arranged." Another priestess in a white uniform with gold leaves came over. She bowed first, and then took the girl to a room inside the starship.

"This is your door card key. In addition, please wear this bracelet, Miss Tilan. It can generate a shield at any time to protect your safety. It can also call for help and send out a distress signal."

After that, the maid handed the girl a special golden bracelet with precise patterns on it, which should be a high-level extraordinary creation.

"Thank you." After receiving the two items, Tilan used the door card to open the room. The room was fully equipped, a bit like an apartment suite in a bustling city. It not only had a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, living room and dining room, etc. Of course, compared to the outside world, the area here would be a little smaller, a little more compact, and the structure would be more solid.

"Dinner will be prepared after 16:00 in the afternoon. You can make an appointment in advance and we will deliver it, or you can go to the designated restaurant for dinner." After that, she explained some other matters before saying goodbye and leaving.

After entering the bedroom, Tilan sat on the bed and lay down, her soft long hair scattered all over the sheets. Looking at the ceiling, she suddenly remembered something, stood up and fumbled to find the remote control device from the head of the bed.

After a simple adjustment, the ceiling became vaguely transparent, as if the clouds were cleared, presenting the view of the starry sky outside.

At this moment, the starship has slowly sailed out of the star port and then sailed at high speed. It is expected to enter the hyperspace jump after leaving the safe distance of the planet.

I don't know what kind of navigation mode it will be. The girl guessed that it should be a high-dimensional jump through the Sea of ​​Aegeka, and then enter other star fields. This is the fastest way for humans to cross the stars, but it is also demanding on the starship and passengers. Most people cannot bear this huge load.

"The starship has entered the sub-light speed navigation state and is gradually upgrading. It is expected to enter the Sea of ​​Aegeka in 7 hours, 11 minutes and 31 seconds. Please enter the safety cabin and prepare in 6 hours and 40 minutes."

A broadcast came from the wall next to it, and then the sound was turned off, and the starship sailed normally.

Lying on the bed, Tilan looked at the vast starry sky above her head, and a feeling of emptiness and remoteness emerged in her mind unconsciously. After leaving the jade skirt, it seemed that everything in the past was rapidly moving away from her, and there was a psychological sense of time and space.

Reality really affects psychological feelings, she thought, then closed her eyes and slowly fell into a quiet nap.

She seemed to be born accustomed to traveling alone, and did not have any reactions such as insomnia.

After a quiet nap for an hour and a half, Tilan slowly woke up and looked at the time. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still an hour before dinner.

After sitting up, Tilan didn't want to sleep for a while, so she picked up her personal terminal and opened the book she wanted to read before but had no time to read, and slowly flipped through it.

The book was given to her by Mrs. Hathaway when she was a gift. It tells the scenery and past events of the distant Wind Dew Grass Star Region.

The reason why it was named Wind Dew Grass is that the star inhabited in the star region has unique scenery, vast land and sparse population, relatively few residents, and extremely wide grasslands.

Although the economy of the Wind Dew Grass Star Region is average and there are no high value-added products, the residents living here have a high happiness index and their lives are particularly leisurely and slow.

Because it is far away from the prosperous other star regions of the Federation, the Wind Dew Grass Star Region has gradually become a legend on the Federation Star Network. It is probably that if you are unhappy with life or want to escape from the world, you can go there to travel and walk.

Time passed unknowingly while flipping through the stories in the book. When Tilan came to her senses again, it was already past four in the afternoon.

It was time to eat something, otherwise there would be nothing to eat when entering the Sea of ​​Aegeka at night.

She sat up, thought for a while, and began to choose to order food instead of going to the restaurant.

Soon, the selected dinner was served, which was a white-cut chicken with celery and pumpkin rice cake.

Don't eat too much, otherwise it will be troublesome to go to the toilet in the safety cabin. The girl kept the instructions in mind.

After finishing the meal, a reminder sounded from the starship, notifying the passengers and staff again that they would enter the Sea of ​​Aegeka in 2 hours and 48 minutes.

After cleaning up the tableware, Tilan continued to read the book, and then took a nap.

This continued until the night, when the third reminder sounded.

According to the instructions, she walked out of the room, and the two priest sisters who had been waiting for a long time took her to the special safety cabin. The room was surrounded by reinforced structures and was also located in the thickest armor protection in the middle of the starship. After entering the safety cabin, two young priestesses surrounded her on the left and right and lay down. Then the hatch gradually closed, and the last announcement was broadcast in the starship.

Lying on the soft cushion in the cabin, Tilan gradually felt a dizziness and an illusion of separation, that is, the body and consciousness seemed to be dislocated and separated. Fortunately, this feeling did not last long. As the special glow in the safety cabin lit up, everything stabilized again.

This should be entering the Sea of ​​Aijaka. Looking at the environment outside the safety cabin, everything seemed like a twisting picture, with all kinds of double images.

"How does Tilan feel?" The priest sister asked her.

"Not bad." "

You will not be used to it for the first time, but you will slowly get familiar with it later." Another priestess also comforted her.

Then the three of them lay in the safety cabin, watching time slowly pass, until a few minutes later, there was a slight shaking and dizziness.

"The starship has left the Sea of ​​Ekaka. Please wait five minutes before leaving the safety cabin."

"Countdown, start..."

...

"The starship has entered a stable navigation state. You can leave the safety cabin."

Then, the light blue transparent safety cover slowly opened, and the two priestesses helped Tilan out.

"Now we should reach the outer edge of the Crown Star Region. Tilan can walk around in the starship. It will land in a few hours."

"So fast?" The girl blinked, a little slow to react.

"It's like this. This 'Light-Analyzing Wing' class starship is one of the few starships that can quickly shuttle through the Sea of ​​Ekaka. If it is an ordinary hyperspacecraft, it will be much slower, because they are essentially two different ways of navigation." Tilan

and the two priestesses came to the sightseeing window in the starship. Through the thick transparent metal glass, she saw the distant star system outside. It was like the distant horizon when looking at the polar night in the Arctic. Although a touch of gold could be seen, the night sky was always dark.

"There is a special fortified planet in the Corona Star Region. It was transformed based on the human heritage of the Transcendent Era. It has a strong defense capability. The entire planet is a huge planetary fortress and a combat machine. There is a special stable area inside that can isolate many world-destroying attacks."

As he spoke, a priest raised his hand and pointed to a tiny silver star in the distance.

As the picture zoomed in, Tilan could see the scenery on the planet

clearly. The planet is covered with silver stacked tracks. Some tracks and hanging boxes are planted with various flowers and trees. You only need to adjust the combination to quickly form different scenery. But if you look closely, you can find the countless self-discipline units hidden under the beautiful plant scenery. Most of them are in a dormant state. They are gathered together like boxes stacked to form the ground and high-rise buildings. Once awakened, they will form a killing unit that covers the sky.

Moreover, a large number of modular material mechanisms are stored inside the planet all year round, and groups of galaxy fleets can be quickly assembled according to needs.

As the head of power and the military core of the entire Rose Federation, this planet is undoubtedly qualified, solemn, solemn, powerful, violent, etc.

Perhaps in order to cover up this solemn atmosphere, various flowers and plants are covered on the surface. It looks like a crown woven with flowers. Although it looks beautiful, it actually represents the highest power of the entire Rose Federation. There is no doubt about it.

After sailing for 5 hours, the starship gradually approached the planet, then descended vertically and landed on a light golden platform.

When the hatches of the five starships opened, a group of priests and entourage walked out, and then gathered at the central exit.

"Are you used to the road, Tilan?" The high priest with light golden hair almost gray asked the girl.

"Yes, thank you for your concern." The girl nodded.

"Very good, follow me." He expressed his relief, then waved his hand and took Tilan out of the ground star port and came to the main passage outside.

Here you can see hovercrafts of different sizes shuttling quickly, but in an orderly manner, and there are almost no pedestrians on the street, only government officials who are working.

They are the brain cells of this huge federation. They summarize and integrate the information reported by each star field, and hand it over to the following departments after classification. Like an assembly line, they handle the requests or proposals sent from various star fields.

Although they are almost useless and insignificant individually, if all the staff on this planet are gathered together, they are the brain of this country, coordinating many problems, issuing various orders, and recording various feedbacks, and finally promoting the survival of this country.
