Chapter 195: Stay
Florian and the others, who had almost irresistible cracking abilities mixed in with the spaceships heading towards a destination, quickly learned what was going on from the internal communication channel of other people— — This is a "bazaar".
Before this area was determined to be divided into the free star area or the federation, the indigenous residents here had already started such an exchange. At the agreed time and place, they brought their latest harvest in exchange for urgently needed resources or Just favorite items.
When the interstellar era came, the original friends and neighbors were forced to belong to two different countries, and they even set up a short-term communication point ingeniously—in the center of the quadrilateral circled by the four adjacent habitable stars, there are about three The spherical "building" formed by the gathering of ten large spaceships is the place for their market.
Everyone who enters this building to buy things needs to pay the official a certain entrance fee, as the daily consumption of these spaceships, and the accommodation and storefronts in the market also need to charge a certain fee, which is expensive but has been in short supply. .
When the annual carnival is over, these large spaceships will continue to be separated to perform their duties of traveling in the starry sky.
Due to the need to repair the Veronica, they were unobtrusively lined up in the queue, waiting for the qualification review.
The appearance of this market also surprised Sima Qing a little. Compared with everything he saw when he first went to White Deer Planet, this "artificial planet" looked more sci-fi. The spaces are connected by transparent orange-yellow channels, and each spaceship has at least five such channels. These huge "vessels" make this market look more like a developing mechanical embryo.
People can easily walk along these corridors, shuttle between various divisions, and even stand in those blood vessel-like passages, clearly see the vast expanse of starry sky around them, and like fish, they continue to gather towards them...
Storing the Veronica in the space port, they need to find enough materials to repair it as soon as possible - such a serious injury is also likely to attract the attention of the local consul, after all, they can have such a huge hole. There are not many spaceships with beam guns. In the free star area, they are almost all battleships, and the Veronica, which encountered a battleship and was attacked, also looks quite suspicious.
Sima Qing set off with Florian, followed by Abel with an innocent face. Several of Florian's personal guards found helplessly that this...a gentleman with a mysterious identity appeared and almost snatched him away. All the duties that their personal guards should do.However, Florian did not accuse him of crossing the line, and his ability was obviously much stronger than that of the personal guards. The personal guards who had to give in were also full of fighting spirit today.
Since the coup in the free star area, Sima Qing and the others have been fleeing in various ways, and the star network has been restricted. What is Mrs. Mia's opinion on officially becoming the president of the Free Sector, announcing cooperation with the Federation, and formally declaring war on the Empire?
Although they are also limited by the inability to use the star network, but so many people gather together, can they exchange some information?
However, according to Sima Qing's short-term observation, the reaction of these people is almost no response. It is true that the closure of the Star Network has made them lose a lot of convenience. Some businesses are small companies related to the Star Network, which were lost overnight. The basics of life, but they still look very peaceful.
Without the star network, they can still use the LAN inside the planet to communicate. Mrs. Mia declared war with the empire, but it will not affect them for the time being, as long as they can still carry out the market normally.
As an ally of the Free Star Zone, the Federation has infiltrated this area very seriously. These people even have a speechless idea—if the star zone forces conscription, they can also directly transfer to the Star Zone. federal territories.
Not far from here, although there are also two defensive bases guarding the border symbolically, in the eyes of the residents here, they have almost no role other than collecting taxes.
It's just that Sima Qing's observation didn't last for a long time. He had to be the first to return to the Veronica. He obviously borrowed Abel's props again and made a lot of changes on his face, but his The "sense of existence" of people is too obvious. When the third boss was talking to Florian, he just looked at Sima Qing with straight eyes, forgetting what he should say After what, he had to be escorted back to the Veronica by Florian, and then Abel was in charge of protecting him.
Abel is very familiar with this task.
Sima Qing stayed in the spaceship without a star network, and it was rare for her to settle down to figure out the next direction.He can clearly see the luck of the other civilians around him, and he can also predict their next fate, whether he found an item that suits him, or sold something worth far more than the bid price. , A small loss...Wait, wait, etc., these trivial things, he always calculates them accurately.
But when it comes to the fate of their group, the result is unclear, and I don't know if it's because they have been with them for a long time, and their fates are gradually intertwined. Luck also gradually felt blurred.
Florian is one of the key nodes in this vortex that cannot be escaped, and the luck above his head is too strong, the subordinates who follow him will be affected by his luck and assimilated by him, Sima Qing I can't see the luck on Florian's head, and it is gradually impossible to see other people's.
This feeling that everything is out of his control is really a headache.Sima Qing was willing to take the risk of being backlashed and seriously injured, and repeatedly calculated the road ahead that was temporarily unclear, but none of the answers he got made sense. A pair of invisible hands scatter the results of his divination and prevent him from seeing the real future.
It's more annoying than he can't figure anything out.
They stayed in this market for two full days, and the order to search for the Veronica and Florian had already been issued to every corner of the free star area, but the flow of people in this market was too large, and outsiders There are too many floating population, they are only ten people, in this environment of hundreds of millions of people, they are not noticeable at all.
It’s just that this situation changed on the third day. When Florian went to pick up the materials and mechanical components that he ordered yesterday, he was rejected by the boss with an embarrassed smile. Materials." Florian did not get too entangled with him, and after confirming that this was a sudden decision made by the market officials, Florian quickly withdrew to the space port, and took out his communicator, ready to Inform other companions to be ready to evacuate at any time.
But he clicked on the light curtain, and his heart sank. He couldn't connect to the internal communication channel belonging to the Veronica. He changed three different frequencies in a row and found that they were all blocked. The people on the Internet didn't find any abnormalities at all, and had to admit that the consul here should have completely blocked other signal sources.
This made Florian feel even worse.
