Chapter 1379: Star Hub Ring

In the imagination of the Noah people, a transit planet that can accommodate numerous interstellar spacecraft should be a high-tech planet.

It is almost like Yuehua Star. From afar, you can see the star track platform filled with artillery batteries, as well as the metal-clad surface of the planet, which is flashing with the cold light of metal and simple lines.

But in fact, the stars before their eyes were far beyond their cognition.

In the dark red cosmic dust, a silver halo is slowly rotating next to the star, with a diameter three times that of the Blue Star.

The outer layer of the halo is not smooth, but appears to have fine "scales" when magnified. Each "scale" captures the cosmic microwave background radiation as it changes angle, giving it a colorful mother-of-pearl-like luster.

Light green pulses of light flowed through the "scales" every thirty seconds, like a flickering emerald-colored band of light tying the silver halo, and even the surrounding dark red dust was dyed with a light blue halo.

The emerald-like planet was enveloped in thick green clouds, and through the gaps in the clouds one could glimpse the dark green land, like the veins on emerald.

Occasionally, golden lightning flashes through the clouds, making the green shine. From a distance, it looks like a glowing emerald.

As Noah approached, other things gradually appeared on the "Emerald".

There were areas of pale pink and yellow scattered like candy; and further away, the surface was pure black, yet it reflected the surrounding starlight like black pearls sprinkled with crushed diamonds. Occasionally, you could see spots of pale purple light moving across the surface; I couldn't tell if they were volcanoes or something else.

Turning around again, there is a crystal-like layered transparent structure that can reflect rainbow-like light, dyeing the surrounding green into a variety of colors.

While everyone was still immersed in the shock of their first sight of the transit planet, a few lines of text suddenly popped up on the big screen.

[Welcome to the Star Hub Ring. Detecting that this is the first signal connection to the current ship, please select: Dock/Depart.]

The text was displayed simultaneously in three different languages, one of which was unfamiliar to them. But thankfully, the octopus man was reliable, and the other two were alien languages ​​they had left behind and that the Noah crew had focused on studying, so everyone understood.

"Choose a port to dock at." Cen Fangyuan ordered the operator in a deep voice. "Where's the Lin ship?"

The sound of the automatic door opening behind me.

"I'm here." Lin Fan sat down in the first seat with a serious look on his face.

The subtitles on the big screen switched with the operation, and the operator also kindly read them out loud.

"Welcome to the Star Hub Ring. Ships docking for the first time, please report the name of the ship and the affiliation."

"Noah," Cen Fangyuan paused. "It belongs to Lanxing in the solar system."

Regarding the question of whether to expose Lanxing, Lin Fan asked Cen Fangyuan when he knew he was going to the transit star.

Everyone knows there are many advanced civilizations on transit planets. There are friendly ones like the Octopus People, and naturally there are also aggressive ones like the Gro People.

Lanxing has just entered a period of rapid technological development. Is it really a good idea to connect with the interstellar space at this time and expose Lanxing, which is not yet fully prepared, to other people?

Cen Fangyuan answered Lin Fan solemnly that this was the only way to develop.

In fact, Cen Fangyuan had no way to make such an important decision.

Before Lin Fan went to Bolun Star, they had considered whether to go to the transit station, but they happened to encounter Bolun Star and were stranded.

While Lin Fan was studying hard in the Amber World, Cen Fangyuan was also not idle.

He knew that the transit star was an inevitable destination, so he sent a message back to Lanxing in advance to inquire. The reply he received was affirmative.

The original purpose of Noah's voyage was to connect with the interstellar space and come into contact with more new star technologies.

Wouldn't it go against their original intention if they started to hesitate at the last minute?

There are certainly risks, but high risk means high reward. How can you expect opportunities like the Octopus Man to just fall into your lap without any effort?

Getting in touch with interstellar technology earlier would broaden our horizons and also broaden the hearts of the Lanxing people. It would save those guys like Old P from constantly fighting among themselves on Lanxing. If you have the guts, go fight the aliens!

We study energy every day and want to colonize the moon. Now the opportunity has come, it depends on who can seize it and who dares to seize it.

If you want to get direct benefits, you cannot be afraid of the risks that come with it.

Why was the Noah so far ahead? Wasn't it to explore the way for Lanxing?

The road is now under our feet. We have to walk on it to know whether it is easy to walk on or whether it hurts our feet.

The Noah is not afraid even though it is in the front, but Lan Xing is sitting firmly in the rear and is still afraid of this and that. Then why did they send the Noah out to explore in the first place?

They couldn't be reduced to a helpless, tiny boat, only able to carry messages back home, could they? How could that be worthy of the efforts of all the Noah crew?

"Sorry, the Star Hub Ring has not found any historical data on the Blue Planet in the solar system. Please re-register with the Star Hub Negotiation Court after Noah docks..."

The process that had made everyone confused for a long time resulted in such a result, leaving everyone in the control room speechless.

Yes, there are billions of stars in the universe, and only they themselves think that a small planet in a remote corner is important.

[Noah, please note: Berth B-73 has been assigned. Please pay attention to the guidance signs and follow the instructions to berth safely.]

"Where are the guiding signs?" Antonio turned his head and looked around at the planet on the big screen.

The whole planet is shining, so the guidance signs can't be like the calibration points in the game map that also shine, right?

Before anyone could find it, a bright frame appeared on the screen, encircling a small area on the silver halo. It was the Noah's automatic docking index.

Cen Fangyuan ordered the Noah to move closer.

As we got closer, we could finally see that the scales on the rings were actually spaceships parked at their berths. They were covered in a transparent membrane, with small, colorful spots of light flashing across it from time to time, as if they were flowing.

Countless transparent crystalline tubes, like tentacles extending from a halo, unfold in the universe.

One of the tubes had a rapidly flashing green light at the top, which was the B-73 channel reserved for them.

The Noah, a true high-tech product, automatically aligned itself after finding its berth. When the ship was about a hundred meters from the channel, a confirmation message popped up in the center of the large screen.

The pipe connecting the B-73 berth was approximately thirty meters in diameter. After the Noah confirmed its berth and continued to approach, eight silver tips, resembling claws or petals with rounded corners, extended from the edge and slowly inserted into the Noah's pre-set exit, automatically retracting into the bayonet.

There was a soft "click" sound, which was the sound of the passage and the hatch being fastened together tightly.

The words [Docking Successfully] popped up on the screen, and Lin Fan could hear the cheers erupting outside.

"The air pressure is confirmed to be safe, the radiation is confirmed to be safe..." The technician smiled while working with his hands.

[Noah, please note that the gravity of the Star Ring is 1.5 times your ship's default gravity. The parameters in the channel will be adjusted to the Noah's gravity value.]

This is not good!

In this environment, the body is equivalent to directly bearing half of its own body weight. Not only does it take more effort to move, but the movement will also be much slower.

To be more specific, when your feet step on the ground, you will feel that the soles of your shoes are closer to the ground, and with each step you take, your knees and ankles will bear 50% more pressure than usual.

Even when standing still, the calf muscles feel heavy, as if they were tied with lead bags.

When I raise my hands to pick up something, my arms, which used to be able to be easily raised above my head, now feel sore when I raise them to my chest.

The internal body will also be significantly affected: breathing will be heavier than usual, and the chest cavity will have to fight against greater gravity to expand normally; when standing, blood will flow more easily to the lower body, and the feet will swell more easily; when sleeping, you will sink deeper in the bed and need support to turn over smoothly.

However, this heaviness isn't impossible to adapt to; it's simply a matter of time. While bone density can change after long-term adaptation, a short stay like theirs shouldn't have a significant impact.

It's just that the hindrance to their movements is ultimately a significant constraint on their military strength.

"Since the channel's gravity parameters can be adjusted, there must be other countermeasures here," Lin Fan said. "Otherwise, with so many planets having different gravity, it's not necessary to adapt to all of them, right?"

Looking at the spaceships in the circle of light, the Star Ring is very prosperous and lively, and there must be a follow-up plan.

"Ask them what to do if they want to maintain the gravity inside the cabin after exiting the tunnel." Cen Fangyuan dictated and asked the operator to reply.

Almost the next second after the message was sent, the other party replied.

Welcome to the Star Hub Ring's official shopping mall, Wanxing Huishi! We offer a wide selection of high-quality goods from all over the planets, including but not limited to single-person gravity adjustment devices. We offer a wide variety of products at competitive prices. Noah, please visit and shop...

Everyone looked at the reply that read like an advertisement and fell into collective silence again.

It seems like something has broken gently...

Ah!

It is true that only by seeing more can one gain more knowledge.
