In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of the month.

The immigrant fleet that provided moving services to the people of Luofan arrived as scheduled.

Bai Yi felt a headache when he saw the large group of messy spaceship identification codes on the radar map.

It was obvious that Huang Lala had emptied her family's savings to successfully complete this mission. This immigrant fleet was enormous, with over 300 industrial vessels of various types, including civilian ferries, industrial transport ships, industrial command ships, cargo ships... The age of the vessels ranged from newly launched models launched in the past two years to antiques dating back centuries.

If Bai Yi hadn't known in advance that this was an immigration fleet, he would have thought he had come to a starship development museum.

The fleet's flagship is the freighter Candela, a former long-distance passenger ship launched 350 years ago and powered by a nuclear fission reactor. Following the collapse of the passenger transport company, the ship was sold to the Galactic Alliance at a 30% discount, transporting personnel and supplies to remote areas of the galaxy. 100 years ago, it was converted into a cargo ship to increase its capacity, and its power source was upgraded to a fusion reactor. Ten years ago, it was decommissioned from the Galactic Alliance and sold to Huang Lala at a low price, who has used it as their flagship ever since.

As the flagship, the Candela wasn't the largest in the fleet, but it was definitely the oldest. Its rusty yellow hull was covered in patches, and every newly riveted piece of armor told a story of vicissitudes of life.

"I don't know how it passed the annual inspection." Bai Yi was speechless. He controlled a shuttle to meet it.

The shuttle started its jump engine, and a light blue curtain of light enveloped the ship within a few breaths. The space around the curtain of light visibly distorted.

From the perspective of an observer, the luminous blue shuttle appeared to be encased in a spherical bubble. The bubble gradually stretched along the shuttle's axis, and the shuttle within it grew slender. Then, the entire bubble, including the shuttle within, began to become transparent. After this transparency reached a certain threshold, both figures abruptly vanished from the vast universe, leaving only the gradually returning calm space as a testament to what had just transpired.

A few minutes later, the shuttle left the warp. It was now 40 astronomical units from its departure point, the average distance between Pluto and the sun. Because it was dimmer than the sun, at this distance, J's star appeared to be just the brightest star in the night sky, unable to give people any sense of light or warmth.

In the darkness, a massive fleet was regrouping. It was Huang Lala's immigrant fleet. Having just completed a long jump, some of the fleet's faster ships had arrived at the assembly point first and were now regrouping around the flagship, the Kendra, which had just emerged from the warp. They needed to remain stationary, waiting for the slower ships behind them to catch up, while also pre-charging their jump engines for the final jump before reaching Luofan.

When Bai Yi's shuttle appeared in this space, the other party sent a communication request without any waiting.

Bai Yi answered the call. Since the distance was so short that he no longer needed to pay the telecom company, he made a video call this time.

"Hello, I'm the CEO of Huang Lala Moving Company, Dolapula Dolapudo, you can call me Dolap."

Bai Yi was very familiar with the voice on the other end of the screen. It was the same person who had called him last time. It seemed that the boss himself was the one who came this time.

But the name...

Bai Yi smiled and nodded in response, expressing his respect for the diversity of species and civilizations in the galaxy.

Dolap is a Lalon, a third-class Homo sapiens. Biologists within the Galactic Alliance divide known humanoid species throughout the galaxy into three categories, based on their similarities to humans.

"This ranking is entirely biologically based, without any discrimination or bias, and is purely a statistical classification method."

——Excerpt from the title page of "Galaxy Biological Illustrated Book".

The first type of Homo sapiens has the closest physiological relationship to humans. They look no different from humans in appearance, and a considerable number of them even have no reproductive isolation from humans.

The third type of Homo sapiens, to which the Lalon people belong, is the most different from humans. This race's home is a desolate planet called Galen, just over 2,000 light-years from the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

The planet orbits on a highly eccentric orbit. Compared to other planets with life, Gellen's perihelion is too close to its star. Every summer, when Gellen is closest to the sun, life on the planet would receive an unsafe dose of radiation from the star.

However, this radiation is usually not fatal; it only subtly changes the DNA of organisms. Over time, the Lalon people gained increasing resistance to radiation, and some of the unique traits caused by genetic mutations were fixed.

The Lalong people are generally between 1.3 and 1.6 meters tall, with green skin, no hair, and four fingers on each hand. Like humans, they are born with eyes horizontally aligned above the nose. However, as they age, one eye gradually moves upward to the forehead, while the remaining eye moves toward the midline of the face. Eventually, both eyes align with the bridge of the nose from top to bottom.

The eye on the forehead is called the secondary eye. As Lalong people reach adulthood, the secondary eye loses all visual function and is covered by skin tissue, becoming an infrared sensor that can sense ambient temperature changes. The remaining eye, however, enlarges and becomes the primary eye used by Lalong people in daily life.

Today, the Lalon people have become one of the most active races in the Galactic Alliance. Although their population is small, they have a business acumen that is comparable to that of humans.

"Huang Lala, the entire fleet has assembled. We will begin the jump in thirty-five minutes."

As the last few old industrial ships left the warp, Laputo finally assembled all the spacecraft participating in this operation.

The fleet assembled faster than expected, which made him very happy. This happy feeling seemed to be transmitted to his secondary eye, and a small blue light flashed rapidly under the skin of Laputo's forehead.

Removing one's secondary eye and replacing it with a mechanical implant has become a trend among the Lalon people today. Compared to the secondary eye that evolved over millions of years and can only serve as an infrared receiver, these mechanical implants that can customize their appearance and possess powerful functions are more in line with the appetites of the younger generation.
