Chapter 569: Edge Military
Port The Edge Military Port is called the Edge Military Port because it is built on a planet at the edge of the Xandar star system.
Xandar has a developed business and thriving interstellar trade. The scale of the fringe military port is eye-catching.
The size of this marginal planet is not large, about thirty times the size of the moon; the entire planet, its outer orbit, is surrounded by a whole belt - like the Great Wall of the planet, a man-made creation.
The belt surrounding the planet is the port for spacecraft to dock; on the belt, there are densely packed honeycomb-like "eyes", which are berths.
Under the guidance of the "tower" of the edge military port, the droplet spacecraft slowly docked in a bee-eye berth; service personnel had already come up and negotiated with Jiang Shan.
The service staff was an alien woman with four hands and butterfly-like wings behind her. She was not tall, only about one meter, and her voice was extremely gentle.
She said, "Excuse me, are you good at Xandar?"
Jiang Shan smiled and turned his face to reveal a universal language translator in his ear - the origin of this thing was not quite legitimate, he picked it up while shopping on Sakaar.
All the property on Saka Star belongs to Gao Tianzun, and those shops and the goods inside also belong to Gao Tianzun; so when Jiang Shan wandered around Saka Star, he not only humiliated Gao Tianzun, but also took away a lot of his things.
There was nothing he could do about it, because Gao Tianzun was a slave owner. Since Gao Tianzun was a slave owner, Jiang Shan treated him like shit.
Of course, this is also closely related to the fact that Jiang Shan does not have the universal currency of the universe on hand. Jiang Shan feels that the next time he sees Gao Tianzun, he will definitely give him the money back—and take his life at the same time.
The butterfly-winged woman smiled and nodded: "Hello, Mr. Jiang Shan, this is your first time to visit the Xandar system, so I need to explain some of the basic rules we have here."
Then she started to talk non-stop.
Jiang Shan listened very carefully.
It is nothing more than abiding by the laws, customs, and beliefs of Xandar, and respecting the Xandar people's right to rule over the Xandar star system.
Then there are the issues of spacecraft docking fees, registration procedures, etc.
She also does part-time sales: "Special travel atlas, including the edge of the military port, all the places worth visiting in Xandar, the atlas has special descriptions; if you plan to go shopping, the Xandar Shopping City on Xandar is your best choice. I have all the product information of the Xandar Shopping City here."
In a word, as long as anyone comes to Xandar and is not here to cause trouble, we will provide full-service to every corner and no corner will be left out - of course, you have to have money.
Jiang Shan is a pauper - he doesn't have a penny of the universal currency of the universe; so he has to live off his wife - Sif is rich, and Brunhilde is also a wealthy woman.
Asgard's currency can be directly exchanged for the universal currency of the universe; as for Brunhilde, she had no income during her years on Sakaar at first as a gladiator slave; later her status rose, and she did some management work of the arena for the Supreme Lord, who occasionally gave her some "rewards".
While going through the process and paying the fee, she said to Jiang Shan, "I can actually join a slave-hunting team, or form one in private, capture strong individuals and sell them to Gao Tianzun, and get a lot of money. But I don't like doing that kind of thing. Although I am self-exiled, I still have the honor of a warrior."
In the original plot, the mixed-race black girl Valkyrie from Sakaar even captured Thor and sold him to Gao Tianzun for 10 million!
Maybe he did it on purpose, to avenge Odin or something - she couldn't fail to recognize Thor, just like Brunhilde recognized Sif at first sight, because of the aura. The Asgardians have a divine aura that belongs to their own race.
——Brunhildr's money was almost entirely accumulated over time. From Hela's rebellion, when she chose to exile herself, to now, in thousands of years, Brunhildr has accumulated about five million universal currencies.
Sif's money needs to go through a procedure and be converted into the universal currency of the universe before it can be used; so here, I will just live off Brunhilde's money first.
The process is very fast and is operated by artificial intelligence throughout.
He paid what he needed to pay, registered what he needed to register, and got the pass in less than half an hour; he also bought a bunch of various picture albums from the butterfly-wing girl - these things were still of some value to Jiang Shan, who had just entered the universe.
——A device like a small stick half a foot long. When needed, open it and pull it out from the side to become a virtual screen.
Jiang Shan and his two companions did not stay in the naval port for too long. After obtaining the pass, they returned directly to the berth, drove the droplet aircraft into the Xandar star system, and headed straight for Xandar.
The water droplets fly neither fast nor slow.
Maintain a similar speed to other spacecraft.
Inside, Brunhilde and Sif were teaching Jiang Shan some basic knowledge about Xandar.
Brunhilde said: "I have been to Xandar before, but that was more than a thousand years ago."
"Xandar was already very, very developed at that time."
"Xandar is a commercial civilization that focuses on economic expansion. Their actual territory is only the Xandar star system, and they basically do not expand militarily."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Of course, this is also related to their neighbors; the Xandar star system borders the Kree Empire. Even if they want to expand militarily, they can't do it. The Kree Empire is much more powerful than them."
"Xandar is certainly not weak either. Their Nova Corps is quite famous. Although they are small in scale, their equipment is very advanced and is among the best in the galaxy."
"The political system of Xandar is similar to a constitutional monarchy. Their queen is called the Emerging Supreme, but she has no actual control. As a spiritual symbol, she is revered by the people of Xandar. The Xandar Parliament is the real controller of Xandar."
Listening to Brunhilde's narration, Jiang Shan nodded slightly.
So it is said that reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles. The universe is vast and civilization is flourishing. If you don’t go out and travel, how can you gain such knowledge?
Although Brunhilde exiled herself, she had traveled across almost half of the galaxy in the past thousand years.
In comparison, Sif's knowledge is much weaker than Brunhilde's.
Sif said: "I heard that the social environment on Xandar is extremely leisurely and the natural environment is beautiful. Most people like it very much."
Brunhilde sneered and said, "As long as you have money, this is heaven. If you don't have money, you'd better not come."
As they were talking, the planet Xandar was already in sight.
Under the guidance of the tower of the Xandar Spaceport, the droplet aircraft completed its docking, then rented a small aircraft in the rear area of the spaceport, plunged into the atmosphere, and headed straight for the surface.
