National Star Sea Era

Chapter 73 Departure·Civilization Ruins (please order first)

Surprised, Song Chi quickly reacted, quickly suppressed all other thoughts, and began to carefully understand and understand the state of his body at the moment.

The two times he broke the limit before this were both in extremely dangerous situations, and there was no time for him to experience and comprehend it. But now it is different. There will be no one or thing around to disturb him, and he can rest assured to comprehend it.

I don't know how long it took, but when Song Chi opened his eyes again, although they were filled with deep tiredness, they could not hide the lingering joy.

At this moment, he has exited the limit-breaking state, but his intuition tells him that he has completely mastered this special technique. In the future, he can enter the limit-breaking state again whenever he wants, instead of relying purely on luck like before.

Of course, this is not possible now. The last time he broke the limit has just ended, and now his mind has reached the extreme level of depression. If he forcibly activates the limit-breaking state again at this time, whether he can succeed or not, but it will definitely bring extreme stress to his mind. It would be a huge burden, or even harmful, so Song Chi would naturally not do such stupid things.

…

In the interstellar age, time passes extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, another few days flew by.

On this day, Song Chi did not continue to soak in the market. In addition to the fact that he had not seen anyone all day long, which had already caused dissatisfaction with Song Chao and Chen Lixia, it was also because today was the day he had made an appointment with Shen Qing. .

Two and a half months ago, the two made an appointment to launch a mission to another star field together and explore the ruins of the Nabulo civilization together.

"Er, if mom remembers correctly, today should be the time when your shuttle has finished buffering, right? After dinner, mom will take you to the outskirts of the city."

Chen Lixia stared at Song Chi, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and browsing the Baita News, with pride and a hint of worry in her eyes.

Unknowingly, his son was about to undergo the fourth round of alien space delivery.

For all Xinhuo captains, every round of investment is a big gamble. How can a mother not worry when she thinks that her son is about to take the next round of gambling in his life?

Ignoring his mother's words, Song Chi stared closely at the quantum TV in front of him. A piece of news was being broadcast on the TV at the moment.

"According to the person in charge of Baihe Mall in Baihe City, Mr. He, who was entrusted for auction in the mall auction more than 20 days ago, has been confirmed to be dead. The wreckage of his ship "Iron Armor" was found thousands of kilometers away from Baihe City. A wilderness was discovered.”

"The item that Mr. He consigned for auction at the Baihe auction more than 20 days ago was a special blue airship component called the "Abnormal State Purifier". The Baihe Xinhuo Bureau has recently determined that this incident is A criminal case, not an accident..."

Song Chi's eyes narrowed. The person reported in the news was the person who had previously traded the "abnormal state purifier" with him. As for his inexplicable death, Song Chi immediately thought of John Te. Los.

He could conclude that this man's death must be related to John Tross.

It is not difficult to see from the opponent's previous actions to intercept him that John Tross is in urgent need of resources like Void Crystal, otherwise it would be impossible to personally intercept him, the first-order Fire Captain.

Therefore, after he escaped without leaving a trace through the Zhutian Market, if the other party wants to obtain a large amount of Void Crystals in a short period of time, they can only get it from this client who has traded a lot of Void Crystals with him. Got started on him.

"John Tross..."

Song Chi's eyes trembled slightly, and his heart felt cold. It could be said that Captain Xinhuo named "He" was his scapegoat.

For a moment, Song Chi felt some mixed feelings in his heart. It was not filled with indignation for the captain named He Xinhuo. Although he did have a little guilt in his heart, it was nothing more. As a person whose mental age is over sixty years old, , he is not a saint.

In this great era of the Star Sea, the death of one person is never a big deal, even if it is a Xinhuo Captain.

Not to mention the entire Xinhuo human civilization, even the Morning Star Principality located in the border area of ​​Xinhuo human civilization, the principality's powerful territory spans several star fields and is thousands of light years in diameter.

And in this vast sea of ​​​​stars that stretches for thousands of light years, there are more than a hundred lives floating on the land? The number of citizens it has produced is in the hundreds of billions.

With such a huge population base, countless people died every day, and the same was true for Captain Xinhuo.

Song Chi was just a little scared. After all, John Tross's target had been him from the beginning to the end. Captain He was just his own bad luck, so of course Song Chi wouldn't care too much.

While my thoughts were swirling, my mother's familiar Hedong lion roar came from behind.

"Song Chi, did you hear what I said? You didn't say a word. Do you think you are annoying your mother..."

After coming back to his senses, Song Chi quickly interrupted his mother who was getting more and more exaggerated.

"Ms. Chen Lixia, I would like to officially inform you that your son's ship has been successfully upgraded to a nether energy airship. There is no need to go to the ultra-long-range star sea launch pad on the outskirts of the city in the future."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the house. Not only Chen Lixia, but also Song Chao who was in the study came over immediately.

After three explorations of the star field, he advanced from a psionic shuttle to a psionic airship. Although this situation is not extremely rare in the increasingly dazzling Xinhuo civilization, it is definitely an astonishing speed.

According to the official data released by Xinhuo Human Civilization, the time required for all Xinhuo battleships that have successfully advanced to the nether energy airship varies.

Among them, 15% were successfully promoted after conducting 5 to 9 explorations in foreign star fields.

70% of those who have been successfully promoted after 10 to 20 explorations of alien star fields.

Those who were promoted after 21 expeditions to alien star fields accounted for 10%.

Only about 5% of those who successfully advance to the next level in the first four explorations.

In other words, if Song Chi is not lying, it means that his promotion speed at level zero exceeds 95% of Xinhuo captains of the same level in the entire Xinhuo human civilization.

Seeing the serious look on their son's face, Song Chao and Chen Lixia looked at each other. Even though they knew their son's character very well, this was no small matter, so the couple took Song Chi to the community's exclusive Xinhuo flying ship. The two of them were completely relieved until they saw Song Chi summoning the Cangqiong, which was nearly 20 meters long.

After returning home, although Song Chao and Chen Lixia said nothing on the surface, they could not hide the smiles flashing in their eyes. Song Chi had given them too many surprises recently.

First, there were deep-water pearls that were hundreds of years old, and then there were the Mermaid Tears that were handed over to Chen Lixia, and now there were three explorations to directly promote her to the nether energy airship. All of these are not like what ordinary Xinhuo captains can do, and they are not. It speaks volumes about their son's abilities.

Of course, the two of them didn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, after lunch, Song Chi received a message from Shen Qing.

"Dad, Mom, I made an appointment with Shen Qing to explore together, so I'm setting off."

Before going out, Song Chao and Chen Lixia gave some instructions, emphasizing that the more people exploring the alien space together, the higher the risk, and asked him to pay more attention to safety.

Song Chi is naturally aware of this, but this time it is different. Shen Qing has a beacon in the alien star field, which means that they are dropping it at fixed points this time, not at random, and the risk is not Besides, Shen Qing has already explored the ruins of the Bulo Civilization once before, so the danger should not be too great.

In the starry sky above Jiangyuan City, Song Chi and Shen Qing successfully reunited.

When he saw Song Chi's Cang Qiong, Shen Qing's eyes first flashed with surprise, and then he felt it was natural.

Although Song Chi has only been awakened for three months, after all, he has Song Chao, a second-level Xinhuo captain, as his father. Resource tilt is inevitable, and he is actually somewhat mentally prepared for this, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative more than two months ago. The invitation was only for the newly awakened Song Chi. After all, the combat power of the newly awakened psionic shuttle was very limited.

In the communication projection light screen, Song Chi captured the changes in Shen Qing's face and roughly guessed what he was thinking, but he did not explain it. On the contrary, he wished that everyone thought so and blamed everything on his father. It is reasonable to carry it on your body, and you don’t have to worry about being exposed to the market at all. It’s the best of both worlds.

After the two met, they sailed toward the empty starry sky in the distance. The nether energy airship made a lot of noise when it was released by itself, so it would basically go to an open area to launch the release.

However, before starting the launch, there is another very important operation. Shen Qing's "Qingfeng" quickly shot out a ray of blue brilliance. This light strip was not a straight beam ray, but a similar one. A ribbon of light that can be twisted and knotted like a rope.

After extending out of the Qingfeng, this light belt quickly headed towards Song Chi's Cangqiong. After endless extension and entanglement for more than ten seconds, it successfully passed the two psionic energy airships Qingfeng and Cangqiong. Connected together.

This kind of light belt is emitted by a special type of shipboard component called the "aircraft interlocking device", which can connect two or even multiple fireships together, thus allowing two or more fireships to be launched. Two Fire Airships can be dropped into the same area.

But the price is what Song Chao and Chen Lixia said before. If the spacecraft jointly explores the alien star field in this way, the risk of the alien star field will be very high every time. Of course, with Shen Qing's star field beacon, this This won't happen again.

On the Cangqiong, Song Chi asked Shen Qing on the projection screen:

"Daqing, how long is the buffer time for your star field beacon components? If you still fail to complete the exploration this time, can you mark the beacon a second time?"

Shen Qing shook his head quickly.

"My part is only of blue quality. It needs a buffer of three years after each activation. This is after strengthening it to lv19. When I first got it, the buffer time was longer, a full five years."

After hearing about the three-year buffer time, Song Chi couldn't help but be a little stunned. Special components like this that can proactively mark a certain star field with an interstellar beacon so that subsequent exploration can be carried out are extremely rare. He said on the Xinhuo Network I couldn't find any relevant information online, so I was a little curious.

The facts also told him that although this kind of component is easy to use, its cooling time is far beyond imagination. Not to mention that it can only be used once every three years. Although the mark can last for half a year, it can only be used no matter when it is activated. Used once, the beacon will dissipate as soon as it is activated.

In other words, each beacon not only requires a buffer time of up to three years, but also can only allow people to explore a star field twice at most, which is the difference between 24 hours and 48 hours. The restrictions are extremely strict.

Thinking of this, Song Chi's eyes flickered a little, and he thought of the characteristic of the spatial anchor point of Zhutian Market.

He had considered this issue before. It seems that the space anchor can also be used as an interstellar beacon, but it is an enhanced version.

As long as he cancels the space anchor point from his bedroom and changes it to the alien star field where he was after a certain release, in this way, even after his subsequent return, he can use the Zhutian Market as a transit point to use this space anchor. Click to go to that star field again.

Thinking of this, Song Chi couldn't help but feel excited, because he always felt that his idea was feasible. Of course, it wasn't really possible to travel back and forth between the two at will.

After all, there is only one anchor point he can set now. Once he activates the anchor point directly without any preparation, he can only go back and forth between the anchor point star field and the Zhutian Market because he has lost his firepower. The anchor point in the strong domain of human civilization.

As for the initial anchor point attached to his physical body, after activating the anchor point set in the alien star field, the moment he stepped into the alien star field, his physical anchor point naturally also moved there.

Unless he activates the anchor point and does not leave the market, if he does not go there, he will not be able to further explore the star field, let alone collect resources, and the anchor point itself will be meaningless.

In response to this problem, Song Chi has also thought of a way to deal with it, which is to use the autonomous return function of the nether energy airship. After setting the anchor point, do not rush to activate it. Wait until the nether energy airship is launched in a different star field, and then enter from the star field where it was dropped. Market, then use the market as a transit point to activate the anchor point and return to the anchor point star field.

In this way, when twenty-four hours have passed, the nether energy airship will naturally return to the anchor point star field on its own, forming a perfect closed loop.

However, the success rate of this method is only very high. Whether it is really feasible or not requires further personal testing by him.

While I was thinking wildly, a weak feeling of weightlessness came over me, and it gradually grew stronger as time went by.

Feeling the familiar signs before being transported to the alien star field, Song Chi quickly gathered his mind and concentrated completely, no longer thinking about what was there and what was not.

When this sense of weightlessness reached its limit, a burst of spinning followed.

When he turned around again, Song Chi found that the Cangqiong and Qingfeng had already appeared above a yellow-brown star sea floating land.

Woohoo!

Outside the airship, the yellow sand is rolling in, and the terrifying sand sea storm is raging in every area of ​​this floating land all the time, and the whimpering whistling sound it makes is the best proof.

"Xiaochi, activate the energy shield quickly. This floating land has long been eroded by yellow sand. The sand sea storm raging on it can easily cause damage to the ship's hull."

During the automatically connected airship's short-range communication, Shen Qing's reminder sounded quickly.
