Naming is a very important matter, representing the full ownership of the item and also carries the owner's wishes.
Chinese people always pay attention to good omens when naming. Xi Yujin looked through many names that "bring in wealth, fortune, smooth sailing, and peace" and finally chose "Chao Ping", hoping that this trip would be smooth sailing without any setbacks.
"I am the captain of the Chaoping, and now is the time to fulfill my duties as captain." Xi Yujin felt a sense of responsibility for this spaceship. After confirming that the autopilot mode was set, he left the cockpit and began cleaning.
There were cleaning tools in the warehouse, and he diligently scrubbed the windows to wash away the heavy dirt. He adjusted the cabin to zero gravity mode so that he could float up and clean the ceiling. The previous owner of the spaceship really didn't take good care of the cabin. When he tore off the decorative wallpaper, he found that the walls were covered with scratches.
Xi Yujin didn't know how to repair it, so he could only tear off all the colorful and old wallpapers to reveal the original color of the cabin.
After an unknown amount of time, the interior was finally completely renovated. Xi Yujin chose a room in the functional area that was close to the cockpit and looked unused as a bedroom. Of course, he could sleep in the cockpit, so this bedroom was a kind of psychological comfort.
He also selected a relatively wide hall as the reception room. When the time comes, pressing the "Reception Room" button on the elevator will take you directly here.
He might meet new friends, Xi Yujin guessed.
There is also a bathroom, a study, a small operation room... Xi Yujin set up the relevant areas. Although the functions are not very perfect, he will be able to afford new furniture in the future.
After the internal basics were set up, Xi Yujin remembered that the exterior of the spacecraft was still a mess, and he could no longer hold back, so he picked up the painting props and went out of the cabin.
The "Chaoping" detected that he was going out and automatically adjusted to deceleration mode. Xi Yujin hung up the safety rope and used a scraper to scrape away the garbage on the exterior bit by bit. Then he picked up the spray paint to touch up the paint. He found several places with obvious cracks and sighed in his heart. It is normal for a second-hand ship to have wear and tear.
After the exterior was repaired, the "Chaoping" revealed its original silver body. The tail ends of the left and right wings gradually turned into cyan and rose red respectively, and were inlaid with golden buried wires around them. A row of indicator lights flashed different lights.
Can't seem to find where to put the name...
Xi Yujin had no choice but to give up and floated into the foyer, where he used spray paint to write the three-meter-high Chinese characters "潮平" on the wall, which was very artistic.
Now the entire spacecraft was set up. In the cabin, only the occasional low hum of the instruments and Xi Yujin's footsteps echoed. He walked from the stern to the bow, stood in front of the porthole and looked for a long time. The excitement gradually faded, and boredom and loneliness occupied the entire space. There was no mobile phone, no network, and the future was uncertain. There was still a long way to go before reaching the destination.
Xi Yujin sat in front of the porthole, typing some articles in case of emergency.
Cosmic Creature seems to like writing travel diaries very much, so he should also write some travel essays.
"Essay 01
I haven't tasted the delicious food from my hometown for a long time. I miss it especially much after a long journey tonight.
The most important thing in the cuisine is meat, especially braised pork belly. There are many food tutorials in my hometown, and each one says, "This dish is tastier than meat," or "This dish is 100 times tastier than meat." But the fact is that everyone knows that there is no dish tastier than meat..."
"Essay 02
It would be nice if I had potatoes on hand. Potatoes are a top-notch ingredient. Not only are they easy to grow and store, but they can also be used to make a variety of dishes. You can eat different dishes for 30 days without repeating yourself, such as potato cakes, stewed potatoes, and shredded potatoes..."
"Essay 10
Today we are going to talk about a special dish, fried chicken. You must know that fried chicken must be eaten with lemonade..."
Why do I get hungrier the more I write?
Xi Yujin wrote more than twenty articles, stored them all on an electronic screen, and named them all "Food Essays".
Just when he finished reading the diaries given to him by others, the spacecraft's instruments finally made a sharp buzzing sound, and the instrument table in the center of the cockpit showed: "The jump point has been reached. All passengers on board, please sit tight and hold on. You are not allowed to leave the cabin during this process."
Xi Yujin sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and saw an extremely bright nebula emerging from the edge of the window in front of him. It was like a slowly shrinking vortex, with the brightest in the center, and tens of thousands of stars dotted on the vortex ripples. Layers of faint halos lingered on its surface, making it look extremely holy. Outside the vortex, there was a circle of even darker spectrum, which was the "dark halo zone" that the "Tide Level" needed to jump.
"Bang!"
The Tidebear shuddered three times.
The nebula in front of him disappeared in an instant, replaced by a huge star, and thirty-six planets of different sizes slowly orbited along their own orbits, and each planet had a dozen "star rings" composed of tiny objects. Outside the planetary orbits was a disordered meteorite zone.
The Tide Flat was heading towards the planet in the meteorite zone. In an instant, it had jumped from outside the nebula into the range of a star system in the Pangolith Galaxy.
"Wow--"
Xi Yujin was almost pressed against the window, his eyes sparkling. All kinds of strange spaceships and creatures flew around the Chaoping. Against the backdrop of the huge planet, they flew in an orderly manner like ants moving their houses. In the distance, a group of ducks flew by in a V-shaped formation, and their shadows were reflected in Xi Yujin's eyes.
Immediately, he understood why everyone was flying in such an orderly manner, because a small guidance aircraft came in front of him, connected with the Tide Flat and sent some kind of signal, thus changing the Tide Flat's sailing direction.
This star system is a typical port-type star system, which is usually located at the edge of a galaxy. The central star has a strong gravitational force, which can pull out a large number of planets. The "star rings" around the planets are actually spaceships that use the gravity of the planets to park.
Some star systems are the backyards of certain races, and some star systems are at war. For the safety of tourists, they usually stop at port stars to rest for a while. Therefore, the throughput of port stars is quite huge, and the prosperity is even higher than some central stars.
The Tide was guided by the guidance vehicle and stopped at the ninth orbit of the twenty-third planet. It will slowly rotate with the rotation of the planet. There are spaceships of different shapes all around, most of which are twice as big as the Tide and have different shapes. The dense spaceship tracks finally reveal a corner of the planet's color at a certain angle.
The brown color came in an instant, and at that moment Xi Yujin's heart was invaded by some instinct.
He really... wants to make the planet rotate...
Xi Yujin shook his diamond hair, trying to get rid of the strange instinct, and continued to observe the creatures outside the window.
If the cosmic creatures are physically strong enough, they can walk directly in space. Some creatures that claim to be strong open the hatch directly and have a party in space, with demons dancing wildly and garbage everywhere.
Xi Yujin squinted his eyes, trying to see the creatures clearly. Suddenly, the entire window was covered by a creature with a snap.
The creature twisted like a towel, its entire body pressed against the window, its leaf-like hairs occasionally spreading out to form a lattice pattern.
As Xi Yujin looked at it, he suddenly felt that it looked like an oversized piece of tripe.
"Maodu" twisted, revealing a sloth-like head, and smiled at him.
Xi Yujin swallowed and gave a friendly smile.
"Tripe" suddenly froze.
Xi Yujin thought that tripe would taste better if dipped in red oil, and his expression became even more amiable.
The "tripe" trembled violently, surged violently, and immediately opened its whole body and ran away after a small advertisement was posted on the window. The advertisement read in different languages, "Are you still bothered by small advertisements? Come and experience the super-fast spaceship washing service."
It turned out to be a car wash commercial.
But just now, did he scare his belly, ah no, his cosmic friends?
“Snap!”
The second advertiser came to Xi Yujin's window. No matter where you are, salespeople are always the most enthusiastic.
This creature was wearing a simple aerospace device, and it looked like it couldn't walk directly. He flew out from a group of giant flying ducks, and landed in front of Xi Yujin's window, revealing the billboard behind him with a "swish". There were also colorful lights flashing on his body, which looked very festive.
But Xi Yujin couldn't understand it and could only stand there in a daze.
The duck salesman revealed a second plaque, this time with a different language.
Xi Yujin shook his head, still not understanding.
The duck salesman showed great patience and changed the language again and again, finally switching to Nomadic language. It turned out that the billboard read: "Flying Duck Chamber of Commerce, your universal friend".
Seeing that Xi Yujin understood, the salesman took a microphone and pressed it against the surface of the window, introducing enthusiastically:
"Dear guests! Welcome to the Pangshi Galaxy, which is a very free commercial galaxy. If you have any needs, anything you want to buy, or anything you want to sell, you can trade through our Feiya Chamber of Commerce. Our transactions are transparent and the prices are fair..."
"Come on, please allow me to introduce you to the meteorite waterfall shower. This is our new product of the season! Every time you take a shower, you can experience the massage of sand worth tens of thousands of dollars!"
I really want to buy it!
But the price was too expensive, and Xi Yujin could only shake his head regretfully, gesticulating and saying that he didn't have enough money.
"Don't you like it? We also have space jellyfish here, which are your best travel companions. Just be careful of the poison, and your trip won't be boring!"
I want to buy this too!
Could he spare a little of himself to pay for it?
Xi Yujin still shook his head regretfully.
The duck salesman didn't give up and continued to introduce various products, such as dynamic spaceship protective film, mini escape pod, classic galaxy sports model... Xi Yujin was dazzled by them and wanted to buy each one more than the last. In the end, the salesman saw that Xi Yujin was really short of money, so his attitude became much colder and his eyes also showed some subtle contempt.
"Poor fellow."
Duck cursed quietly.
Xi Yujin didn't understand, but he could guess from the salesman's attitude. He didn't get angry, but replied in his own language: "Roast duck."
The salesman was even more confused, so he shut up, packed up his things and prepared to sell the next spaceship.
Suddenly Xi Yujin called him and said, "I forgot to tell you, I want to buy something.
I need 'black box private maintenance service'."
There was a hint of surprise in the salesman's eyes. He flapped his wings a few times and said that he needed 30,000 pieces of dust.
…
“Boom boom!”
Xi Yujin floated over to open the door, and after opening it, he looked around to find the figure of the maintenance personnel. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his leg, and a capsule only as high as his calf was dancing with a repair box in his hand.
This is the first time I see an alien that is smaller than me. It is quite cute. Xi Yujin thought to himself and invited the capsule alien in. It looked like a minion, wearing a huge monocular goggles and a few hairs on its head.
"I've had enough of you aliens!" The alien capsule floated in the air and yelled, "Please ask someone to come and repair it. Don't you know that you need to adjust the gravity mode? I know you must be thinking that you have such good physical fitness, you must show off more-"
"I'm very sorry." Xi Yujin adjusted the mode politely, then stood firmly on the ground. The alien capsule fell to the ground. Xi Yujin straightened it and walked in front to show it the way.
"How annoying..." The alien capsule couldn't stop muttering while carrying the maintenance box. It followed Xi Yujin through the reception room and immediately fell silent when it saw the huge words "Chao Ping". Space creatures have always been very sensitive to new cultures.
Passing the reception room, they took the elevator to the warehouse.
The alien capsule bumped into Xi Yujin's leg like two brothers. Xi Yujin looked down at it and asked, "It's rare to find creatures with black boxes nowadays. Although the intelligent machine family has announced the manufacturing method, not all creatures can make it. What is your position?"
"I am just the editor-in-chief of my race's magazine. I am from the Blue Planet."
"Blue Star? I haven't heard of it, but there are many races in this world that I haven't heard of, and there are also many secrets that need to be kept..." The alien capsule shook his head and said something that he thought was profound. Xi Yujin just smiled slightly.
This smile seemed to have some kind of encouragement, and the alien capsule became even more talkative. Xi Yujin stood beside him, occasionally chiming in, as if he was the friendliest listener in the world.
He needed more information, so he disguised himself as a frequent tourist.
The black box is used to disguise the existence of "Blue Planet".
It is equivalent to a signal base station and can also act as a network server.
In different galaxies, two or three black boxes form a unique star network. When the black boxes reach a certain distance, they can be interconnected. The existence of black boxes completely breaks the information barriers of many galaxies.
A race with culture must have left traces on the star network.
Before, in the marginal areas, everyone chatted in the dark, and they believed whatever Xi Yujin said. Coming to the information of many creatures, Xi Yujin needed to build an official website of Blue Star to support his identity.
"The domain name is ready. You can design the website you want." The alien capsule jumped down from the black box and said routinely, "I have also left many picture packages in the design column. You can make any style you want. This is the warranty card. If you need secondary repair service, you can call me or the Flying Duck Chamber of Commerce."
It shouted loudly and pompously without emotion: "Flying Duck Chamber of Commerce, your universal friend!"
The alien capsule stuffed a stack of flyers into Xi Yujin's hands and hopped away. When Xi Yujin saw it off, he found a line of duck salesmen flying and sticking to another large spaceship.
"It's so lively." Xi Yujin exclaimed.
But he is not in a hurry to explore. Caution is the pass for all actions.
Xi Yujin sat in front of the black box, connected to it with a monitor. On the top of the monitor was his newly created domain name "EARTH:001". If any creature wanted to view his website, they could directly search for this URL to jump to the official website.
He hand-typed Chinese characters, "Welcome to Blue Star", as the background theme of the official website. It is divided into two columns, one is the main introduction, which is also explained in Chinese characters.
"Blue Planet, the culture originated from the Earth in the solar system. The solar system is the middle star in the Milky Way and has eight planets. The Earth is the third one. During a certain period of history, it was the only planet with liquid water, and thus nurtured many civilizations..."
Another column is the author introduction.
Xi Yujin thought about it and put the alias "Yujin" in the first place, with the small print introducing him as "Editor-in-Chief of "Reader"".
As for "Xun Ming", I haven't decided on a title for it yet, so I'll leave it alone for now.
Xi Yujin placed some plant patterns and posted a job advertisement at the bottom of the page, "Want translators?" A simple Blue Star official website was successfully built.
Then, he used the operations he had just learned to create a new area inside the black box, "EARTH:002".
Since he is the editor-in-chief of "Duben", the magazine "Duben" must exist.
