Chapter 123: Ship 883
A giant ship was suspended in the port, so that Hao Ren felt that he would not have to watch Hollywood again in his life.
It is difficult to directly judge the size of the spacecraft with the naked eye. Its long axis looks like a mountain in the harbor. It has a light blue coating and can be painted underneath. Seeing the light gray, silver and white background color, I don’t know whether it has been modified to some extent from the beginning. The spacecraft has a large and small wedge shape, but the size is too flat, and the two vertical crosses are divided. From the beginning to the end of the line, the spacecraft was divided into four completely symmetrical parts. Reminiscent of the catamaran built by the Earth, Hao Ren felt that this should be called a "quadruple". The relatively large one of the spacecraft faces the interior of the fourth connecting port, and the thinner one faces the star port. It faces the distant star, and the complicated light signal walks up the outer shell of the spacecraft, giving the impression of flying.
Underneath the spacecraft, there are four giant steel beams (the material is definitely not steel) that are connected to the port. The four giant steel beams are filled with transparent crystals. If people stand there, they will fall into space. The illusion that the four girders emit a constant gleam, the light is not strong, but it seems to have some resonance with the light on the outer shell of the suspended spacecraft.
"That is the force field restraint device," the guide girl saw early that Hao Ren was the first to contact this scene. She has been introducing Hao Ren with a perfect professional attitude. "The four main beams are used for constant spacecraft. The location in the port prevents drift, and can provide some outbound acceleration or inbound guidance for some older models of the spacecraft - this universe still has many less advanced civilizations."
Hao Ren nodded. Looking at the opening port of the port towards the universe, he just discovered that there are occasionally other huge objects slowly drifting away from far away. The guide noticed his sight and explained: "That is other spacecraft that are entering or leaving the port. This is a large-scale relay station. All ports are controlled by efficient artificial intelligence. There are three daily spacecraft throughputs. number."
Hao Ren’s tongue, the line of sight is still on the giant spaceship in front of him: “How big is this thing? I am going to... Space Fortress?”
“It’s not too big,” said the guide girl. “It’s a passenger and cargo ship from a private company. It’s a medium model in this sequence, with a long axis of 3.2 km, with a primary Space expands the container bay. It is a big man for some junior civilizations, but in your eyes... is this a big ship?"
Hao Ren took a moment and didn't respond to what it meant in "in your eyes." After a few seconds, he suddenly remembered his identity: the employee of the Sea of Ages Authority, although currently a temporary worker and an apprentice, but this apprenticeship That is also the classification that is unique within the empire. In the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference between a trainee examiner and a formal examiner. The guide girl is taking Hao Ren as a "big man in the system." At the thought of this, Hao Rendun felt that the responsibility of maintaining the dignity of the empire was great. With a big tail wolf-like look, nodded: "Well, of course I didn't compare it to the Imperial spaceship..."
The data terminal screamed in Hao Ren’s head: "You pretend, have you seen other flying objects made by the Empire in addition to this machine?"
"I have seen, the house of Raven 12345. Not only can fly, but can fly backwards."
Data terminal: "..."
At this time, the guide girl took out a small device and pressed it a few times. It seemed to be signaling to other staff in the port. Then led Hao Ren and his team to go forward: "I will take you to the captain and my mission will be over. Please come with me."
Hao Ren followed and walked forward. Just now he saw a small group of people standing on an alloy platform under the spaceship, which seemed to be a staff member. This group of people made Hao Ren's "little green man" imaginary satisfied: half of them are human beings who are almost the same as the earth. But the other half are grotesque, with chunky creatures with hair on their faces, quaint creatures wearing eccentric spherical glass helmets, full of liquid in their helmets, and two skinny and small skins. The dark green little dwarf, seeing these people Hao Rencai long export gas: he felt that he finally saw the alien in the true sense, and the guide girl next to him was really kind, he could not find the star into the sea. Feeling ah...
No matter how strange the shape is, the body wears a gray uniform with uniform style or at least close to it, and the clothes have a light yellow triangular logo, which matches the logo of the spacecraft's shell. It is the flight. The staff, the guide girl led Hao Ren to say hello to them, and finally stood in front of a man who was unusually burly, with a naughty smile on his face: "Mr. Captain, the VIP has already brought it, and the rest I have given it to you."
"Oh," said the man who was called the captain. He was a sturdy and strong man. The big face looked quite powerful. A strong muscle almost broke the gray-white uniform. He seemed to be familiar with the guides here. He waved his hand to the other party. "Go back and talk to Laval, who is not dead. I will bring some good wine next time when I come, let him prepare the wallet!"
The guide girl smiled and nodded, then disappeared in front of everyone with a twisted light curtain.
"You three are VIPs?" "Captain" turned to look at Hao Ren and his party, "Amount... Who is the examiner?"
For the first time in his life, Hao Ren was called a lord. He was immediately flattered and quickly nodded: "I, I am. What? What is the boarding procedure?"
"You are exempt from all formalities and security checks after performing official duties and verifying your identity," the "Captain" waved to the crew members beside them to let them board the ship, and took out a rectangular device with blue light shining. Brush it..."
When the voice did not fall, the data terminal came out of Hao Ren’s pocket: "This machine is here, sweep it and sweep it."
Hao Ren was shocked to see the data terminal drifting past on the "Captain" scanning device, and heard the "drop", the device said that the verification passed...
For the first time in his life, he saw the ticket that he would check for himself!
"Then the examiner and the two assistants, please board the ship," the captain pointed to a metal platform suspended in the air, grinning. "Starcraft Express 883 transport ship wishes you a pleasant journey."
Nangong first smashed up in May: "Get on the boat and get on the boat!"
Hao Ren almost completed the boarding process in a state of brains, standing on a floating platform and drifting into a small hatch under the belly of the huge spaceship. After entering, it was in a lot of messy corridors and warehouses. It floated around and finally came to a neat and spacious place. The strong and unspeakable captain sighed on the communication equipment on the floating platform: "Okay, signal the command tower, prepare!!"
“How long will we be here?” Hao Ren suddenly remembered that he had never asked this trip question because he had no idea what the “eight hundred light years” was. Before this time, in a pile of super-future scenes After spending a long time in the middle, he suddenly realized that he had to have a speed of light once. "I am not afraid of your jokes. I am the first time to take a spaceship..."
"Well, let's just say that I have talked to me above," the captain reached out and handed over with Hao Ren. The Hao Ren's knuckles squeaked and screamed. "One day will come, you will sleep in the cabin." As soon as we arrived, the ship was a starship on this route. It has been advanced for seven consecutive years. Yes, you call me 883..."
Hao Renyi said: "...883? Isn't this the name of your spaceship?"
"I just gave her the name according to her own name!" The captain who claimed to be 883 laughed. "This is the rule on our side. Men should have a ship with their own name. We live on the ship, the ship." It’s the man’s second wife!”
Hao Ren: "..."
He felt that the captain had subtly misunderstood what it was, but it seems that there are cultural differences between different races, and it is better not to delve into this issue.
Hao Ren was led by another crew member to the cabin he had arranged for himself. He was surprised to find that it was still a four-bedroom luxury suite, and the interior furnishings were weird, but they could be seen in all likelihood. What did he use? He asked subconsciously: "Is this room not specifically modified for us?"
"No, this is the standard first class," the pilot of the road is a dark-skinned short young man. He laughs a bit cautiously. "This boat is dual-purpose. The wing d6 to d17 is a special passenger zone. We have Luxurious and thoughtful passenger service, and most of the rooms are specially designed for the first class of carbon-based passengers... Although we have not yet pulled the passengers due to the captain’s brain water intake and there is no room service on board, Please believe that at least the equipment in the room is professional."
Hao Ren: "..."
He inexplicably felt like he was being pitted again! (To be continued.)
