The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System
Chapter 126 The Terrifying Speed of the Space Elevator
However, they are country bumpkins, so let's listen to Situ Kongbo, this local.
The elevators in the floating city come in several forms. Ruan Mianmian followed Situ Kongbo to the one shaped like a white cloud.
It felt as if there was nothing around, but when I reached out to touch it, I could feel a thin membrane.
Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Situ, what is that transparent thing around us?" If it's glass, there should be marks or things that are visible to the naked eye.
“Glass,” Situ Kongbo said. “This transparent glass has anti-gravity properties, and it’s also part of the Fang family’s business. We can’t get our hands on it.”
Professor Huang then asked, "Shouldn't the space elevator also use this type of glass?"
Situ Kongbo nodded: "The space elevator is more advanced. It is transparent when viewed from the inside out, but colored when viewed from the outside in."
As they spoke, everyone stepped onto the cloud-shaped elevator.
The expected overweight situation did not occur; instead, a door appeared in front of them.
Situ Kongbo stepped into the room as if it were commonplace.
Ruan Mianmian and the others subconsciously looked out the window and saw that they were indeed 200 meters in the air, which made them both surprised and delighted.
Just now, they seemed to see a black shadow flash before their eyes, like a scene changing frame in a movie, so fast that they couldn't react at all.
There are many delicious foods in the floating city, but eating too many can be tiring. Moreover, Ruan Mianmian discovered that most of the food in the Federation is similar to Western food, with very few varieties.
After finishing their meal, the group took the elevator down.
This time, Ruan Mianmian and the others paid close attention, some looking out the window and others watching the doorway.
But just like before, in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the door.
Just as Situ Kongbo said, we could keep walking without stopping and step out the door immediately.
Arriving at the bottom of the Sky Elevator, Ruan Mianmian followed Situ Kongbo and stepped into the flower-shaped elevator.
She discovered that each elevator unit was about 10 square meters in size, shaped like a flower, and furnished like a small living room, with a sofa and a TV. There was also fruit on a low table in front of the sofa.
Next to the television set stood a robot.
Upon seeing the group enter, the robot immediately bowed and greeted them: "Good morning, esteemed guests. I am your robot Xiaobao. Please let me know if you need any assistance. If you wish to experience a feeling of gravity, please state the gravity value you wish to experience. However, to avoid injury to our guests, the gravity value cannot exceed the human tolerance level."
Ruan Mianmian and the others were all startled.
This means that even without wearing a protective suit, you don't feel any discomfort from being overweight when riding in a space elevator!
After the initial shock, Ruan Mianmian and her group began to look around with interest, before turning their gaze outside.
At this time, everyone was underground, so outside there were only some realistic patterns or famous paintings, and it was brightly lit, so you could not tell that it was underground at all.
Soon, Xiao Bao indicated that the space elevator was about to depart.
Ruan Mianmian and the others acted in unison, their eyes immediately fixed intently on the outside.
The next moment, they saw that the painting outside the window had turned into the sky.
But I felt nothing in my body, as if I were sitting quietly in the living room.
Professor Huang couldn't resist standing up and peering through the transparent glass.
He stood up, and it was only two seconds before the elevator ascended. But when he looked down, the houses looked as thin as matchboxes. Before he could even sigh, the houses disappeared, replaced by fluffy white clouds.
Professor Huang withdrew his gaze and asked Situ Kongbo, "Mr. Situ, isn't the space elevator supposed to go vertically upwards?"
“No. They usually ascend at an angle,” Situ Kongbo said. “Firstly, to make the space elevator look less rigid, and secondly, the underground space elevators are built together, and after ascending, they need to reach different spaceports.”
"There's more than one spaceport?" Ruan Mianmian exclaimed in surprise.
Situ Kongbo nodded: "Of course there's more than one. Spaceships are so big that they can't be stacked together. For convenience, they've been divided into several. There are only three on Yuluo Star, which is quite few. On Central Star and some popular tourist planets, there are no fewer than 20 spaceports alone."
Ruan Mianmian roughly understood that this was not a port that was far apart like the ocean, but rather like an airport with several terminals.
The chubby baby spoke in Ruan Mianmian's mind again: "It's very ordinary, really ordinary, it's something we've discarded."
Hearing the disdainful tone in his voice, Ruan Mianmian knew he wanted all her attention, so she smiled and said, "Of course I know. The technology at our baby's place is the most advanced."
The chubby baby was overjoyed: "Mianmian, you wait! If you come to our place, I'll definitely find a way to give you lots of gifts." Although he didn't have any good things on him, his master had plenty. If all else failed, he could secretly use his master's money to buy them for Mianmian.
Seeing his radiant appearance, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but kiss his chubby cheeks several times.
Situ Kongbo's handsome face darkened, and he immediately spoke to Ruan Mianmian: "Mianmian, I just heard Professor Zhao say that you still have to go to Feixian Star. I happen to be going there anyway, why don't you take my spaceship?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian immediately looked at Professor Zhao.
She was so focused on talking to the chubby baby that she didn't hear what Professor Zhao said.
Professor Zhao nodded slightly to her: "Gu Shi just messaged me, he should be back soon, you need to go there."
Ruan Mianmian immediately understood that she needed to go and settle the bill, otherwise Gu Shi's collected trash would not be able to be brought back to Blue Star.
As for transfers, interplanetary transactions require an account; unregistered individuals are not permitted, and unregistered individuals can only make purchases in person.
Ruan Mianmian looked at Situ Kongbo: "Mr. Situ, you also brought a spaceship to Yuluoxing?" That's so extravagant!
Situ Kongbo nodded: "I'm not used to taking public spaceships, so I usually travel by my own spaceship."
Ruan Mianmian hurriedly asked, "Then your family must have a spaceship that's about to be scrapped, right?"
Meeting Ruan Mianmian's expectant gaze, Situ Kongbo: "..."
He felt that something was wrong with him.
He can talk about anything and end up talking about such a distasteful thing as collecting recyclables. If it were someone else, he would definitely find it disgusting.
But the person who played this role was Ruan Mianmian, and he actually thought she was cute!
Under Ruan Mianmian's gaze, Situ Kongbo finally said, "You're too late. Our family's scrapped spaceship was sold at a low price three months ago."
When Ruan Mianmian, Professor Huang, and the others heard this, they were heartbroken and could hardly breathe.
We were really just a tiny bit late!
If they had arrived a month earlier, and if they had known Situ Kongbo, they could have bought this decommissioned spaceship!
Seeing Ruan Mianmian's disappointed expression, Situ Kongbo's heart ached, and his mouth spoke faster than his thoughts: "I'll ask the other families for you—"
"Thank you so much!" Ruan Mianmian immediately expressed her gratitude. "If we have any, we will buy them back at the market price."
They wanted to buy a spaceship, not to take advantage of it.
At this moment, Xiao Bao's voice rang out: "Dear passengers, this journey has come to an end. The elevator has arrived at Port A of Yu Luo Star. Please take your luggage and belongings and disembark in an orderly manner."
Already arrived?
Ruan Mianmian glanced down at the time, her pupils dilating in shock.
It only took 3 minutes!
