Chapter 183 Tasuri Hub
In the border areas of the Star Empire, many space stations have been set up, which are mainly used for transfer and detection of jump fluctuations of smuggled spacecraft.
Four days later, outside the Star Empire's Space Station No. 844, an unnamed warship from the plunderers suddenly jumped and appeared. If it went any further, it would enter the opponent's radar monitoring range.
Li Yu and others were in the captain's room, preparing to transfer to the other spacecraft. Driving a warship into the space station, wouldn't that be seeking death?
I used to drive a battleship to travel faster, and the battleship's jump speed must be much faster than that of a travel ship.
It was a small travel boat that was robbed by the previous group of plunderers and was used for smuggling.
The internal space of the small travel ship was large enough, and after erasing the internal surveillance traces, they directly abandoned the dilapidated warship into the starry sky.
This transit station is not an open interstellar hub with prosperous commercial trade like the Inuit hub.
It is more like an outpost, with more strategic significance than commercial significance.
"Unknown spaceship, please identify the spaceship and leave here, otherwise we will attack!" The other party had a tough attitude and rejected Li Yu's request to dock.
But Li Yuliang clearly stated his identity—Honorary Sir of Amethyst Civilization.
The other party immediately changed their attitude, stopped being tough, and allowed the ship to dock.
"I didn't expect this identity to be so useful." Li Yu was slightly surprised.
The hunter explained: "After all, this is a space station close to the Amethyst Civilization. If we change to another space station, it may not work so well."
There must be quite a few Amethyst people who have entered the Star Empire through here. The Amethyst civilization may have already taken care of this space station.
After obtaining permission, the spacecraft entered the space station orbit and stopped at the internal dock.
After getting off the spaceship, everyone looked around. The design of this space station was a typical imperial style.
"Hello, Sir Li..." Several imperial inspectors were waiting at the dock, and one of the leaders spoke:
"Excuse me, do you need fuel?"
"It's partly because of this reason..." Li Yu said with a smile.
The other party frowned slightly, waiting for Li Yu's next words.
"Part of the reason is that I want to use the small star gate here."
This is Li Yu’s real purpose. The Star Empire is so vast that he doesn’t know when he will be able to jump there with that shabby little travel boat.
Using a star gate is the quickest way. There are almost no commercial star gates in the border areas, and only this kind of space station has small star gates.
"This..." The other party immediately showed an embarrassment. Using the space station's star gate was no longer something he could decide.
"Please come with me first... We need to inform the stationmaster about this matter."
This space station is not large in area and has a silver-white exterior. The overall shape is relatively light and the style is angular, which is very consistent with the characteristics of the Star Empire.
The Star Empire emphasizes precision and simplicity. The internal structure of the space station is relatively simple, and there are instructions in many places.
Li Yu and others are outsiders, and the confidential places of the space station are not open to them. They can only move around in the dock, lounge and guest room area.
Li Yu was killing time in the lounge. Only he, Mo Duo and Hunter got off the spaceship, and the rest of the people were waiting on the ship.
His eyes were dazed as he was checking the system [log].
After injuring Batman, clone No. 1 did have two days of "peaceful" life. Although he was no longer being hunted by Batman, he was always inexplicably robbed or shot.
He could even encounter room inspections while sleeping in a hotel. Since he had no identity, he could only kill the police and escape, which made him destined to be wanted.
I didn't get any eye-catching rewards, just some small things like bullets and pistols, which were of no use.
The second clone got something in return. The scepter was finally delivered to the hands of Hydra, and he became a great traitor.
[Obtain special item - Hydra Certificate: You are a great Hydra member and an omnipresent traitor.
After use, you can incite non-leader-level organization members to rebel.
Note: Inciting rebellion does not make the other party obey you. 】
This is an interesting thing. Maybe it will work wonders at some point, Li Yu guessed.
As his strength increased, many things no longer had any effect on him.
There are still many good things in the system warehouse, which is also the reason why he can remain calm in the face of any situation.
The person who came to greet the two was the station commander. He was a serious man, meticulous in his movements and dress, and had a military demeanor.
"The Star Gate can't be lent to outsiders!" He said with a cold face, and said it firmly right away, without giving Li Yu any chance to speak.
"After refueling, you can leave."
He is an interstellar human and also a member of the old empire. The Star Empire is a huge interstellar empire, and no race is its dominant race.
The original form of civilization of the Star Empire has long been difficult to verify, but in historical records, the earliest Star Empire was mainly composed of interstellar humans.
Even today's emperors and nobles of various empires still retain their human appearance.
This webmaster was born with the arrogance of the Star Empire in his heart and was very contemptuous of other civilizations, but he did not express it openly. Instead, he used rules and regulations to make his case so that people could not find any fault with him.
"Can you please be flexible? We are willing to pay the corresponding price." Li Yu frowned and hinted.
"Heh..." The stationmaster sneered and refuted: "You lowly Amethyst man, do you think you can bribe me in this way?"
The citizens of the Star Empire look down on and despise the various civilizations that are dependent on the Empire, and do not believe that they can be on an equal footing with themselves.
Li Yu was not angry, but shook his head: "I admire your integrity."
"What do you want to do?" The stationmaster shouted coldly, "Are you going to attack me again? You must be tired of living if you dare to attack me!!"
Li Yu gave Mo Duo a look, and Mo Duo understood. Then the stationmaster's pupils suddenly became dazed and his expression was dull. His own strength was not strong, just a D-level life form.
After all, this is not a military base, it's just an outpost.
It was easy for Moduo to control him without any difficulty.
"Follow my orders, open the star gate, and adjust the docking star gate to the Tasuri hub." The stationmaster took out the smart terminal and issued the order.
Outside the space station, the star gate folded in orbit slowly opened. The frame made of special materials was filled with electric arcs, and thick energy gathered towards the center of the star gate.
A pale blue gate of light slowly took shape. This was one of the most advanced technological achievements of the Star Empire, a star gate that could instantly cross endless distances!
"Stationmaster!" Someone hurriedly ran out from the depths of the space station, sweating profusely: "Why did you suddenly activate the star gate? We haven't even applied for it yet..."
He is the deputy stationmaster here. He stopped talking halfway because he discovered that there were outsiders here.
"I know my limits," said the stationmaster coldly.
"But... opening the star gate requires approval from our superiors." The deputy station chief said anxiously, not caring who Li Yu and his companions were.
"If there is any problem, I will bear it alone." The stationmaster remained indifferent and turned his back to the deputy stationmaster.
The deputy stationmaster glanced at Li Yu and the others and frowned slightly. He had a hunch that these people must have something to do with the stationmaster opening the star gate.
Li Yu smiled at him. The deputy station chief was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but there was nothing he could do.
Because the webmaster had more power than him, he could only watch.
"Who are you? Where are you from? Have your identity records been backed up?" He turned to attack Li Yu and the others.
"They are my guests." The stationmaster stood in front of the deputy stationmaster again with an extremely arrogant attitude.
The deputy webmaster is about to lose his temper. My webmaster, when we were drinking yesterday, we were calling each other big brother, but now you are so hostile after waking up.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The deputy stationmaster was shaking with anger. "If the higher-ups find out, you'll be solely responsible for it."
He left cursing, having achieved his goal, which was to remove himself from the matter and not take the blame.
Li Yu looked at his back as he left, took out a crystal card from his pocket - Star United Bank, and handed it to the hunter.
"Get him done."
The hunter nodded, picked up the card, and chased after him.
Using the star gate is only a small problem. The problem is not to let the situation escalate. This is already within the territory of the Star Empire. Making things bigger will only attract attention and will not be conducive to their actions.
Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome, involving both control and bribery.
Not too long passed before the hunter came back, muttering something.
"It's so damn evil. It took one million star coins to deal with that guy."
"Money is not a problem, as long as it can be done." Li Yu said calmly. One million is already a penny wise.
Several people returned to the spaceship and drove it towards the star gate.
When approaching the star gate, the entire spacecraft was shaking violently and two-thirds of the instrument panels were malfunctioning, as if it had suffered some severe interference.
The moment the spacecraft touched the star gate, the space seemed to be distorted, the spacecraft was pulled into a flat shape, and then disappeared in front of the star gate.
When the spaceship disappeared, the stationmaster standing on the dock quickly woke up. He was confused at first.
Then he saw the star gate that had been opened in the orbit of the space station and was immediately furious: "Who opened the star gate!? Who!"
The staff nearby looked at each other in confusion, wondering if the stationmaster had traveled through time.
"Isn't this the star gate you asked to open?" a staff member whispered.
"Me?" The webmaster was shocked and had a bad feeling. He hurriedly checked the log and found that it was indeed his order, which made him unbelievable.
Buzz——
At this moment, his smart terminal was vibrating continuously, and a message made his pupils contract.
[Dear user, your account has 1,000,000 StarCoins transferred to it, and the balance is 2,454,000]
Above this message, there is another message: "Mr. Webmaster, thank you for your help. The money has been transferred to you. You will have to handle the rest by yourself."
"It's up to you whether you want to give up your career and wealth to report us, or just pretend that nothing happened."
"By the way, the deputy stationmaster can help you. "
The webmaster clenched his fists, his face uncertain. He seemed to have a choice, but in fact he had no choice.
Since the deputy stationmaster has accepted the bribe, he will definitely not report himself, and may even turn the tables, because it was indeed he who requested the star gate to be opened.
And... I might not have the determination... His expression flickered and he sighed dejectedly.
…
On the other side is the outer star gate of the Tasuri Hub. This star gate is extremely large and stands in the starry sky. Various spaceships go in and out from time to time . Not far away is the Tasuri Hub.
In stark contrast to the prism structure of the Inuit Hub, the Tasouli Hub is a city in the starry sky, with tall metal buildings.
There is nothing too special about it, and many places are even old. The Tasuri Hub has been around for a long time.
The starlight from the Blazing Eye Galaxy can directly shine here, so the Tasuri Hub does not need artificial light.
The lights in the spacecraft kept flickering. Li Yu and his companions stared at the magnificent Tasuri Hub not far away, feeling a sense of fear in their hearts.
"I thought the spaceship was going to explode in the star gate." The hunter held onto the operating console, still feeling frightened.
Murdo looked at the Tasuri Hub with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he remembered something. Pictures flashed through his mind, and finally turned bloody.
The Tasuri Hub was built outside the Blazing Eye System, very close to it.
The Blazing Eye Galaxy is quite special. It has nine planets, but only one life planet, namely the Blazing Eye. The other eight have rich mineral resources.
That's why the Tasuri Hub came into being. Even after the Blazing Eye was destroyed, the Tasuri Hub was not abolished and continued to operate normally.
The spacecraft did not head to the Tasuri Hub, but instead staggered towards the Blazing Eye Galaxy. The short-distance jump did not take long.
But they did not reach their destination. Instead, they were intercepted from the jump state by my device that interfered with the jump.
Two conventional warships were heading towards them, and simultaneously connected to the ship channel to warn them:
"Spaceship ahead, you have entered a military restricted area. Please identify yourself and stop for inspection."
Modo was lying on the porthole. The Blazing Eye Star was not far away. Its surface was dark brown, covered with raging sandstorms and huge circular craters, which were caused by the bombardment of the spacecraft's main gun.
"Once upon a time, it was a green planet..." She murmured, her eyes blank and tears rolling down her cheeks.
Sinai stood nearby, pursed her lips, and seemed to want to go up and comfort Moduo, but she didn't know what to say and was a little hesitant.
"Big sister, here's some candy..." Little Lolita Keller walked up to Murdo and timidly stretched out her little hand. That was the reward for her not crying when Payton drew her blood.
Modo touched Keller's little head and calmed down his emotions.
Warp interference devices have been installed around Blazing Eye, and there must also be conventional detection devices, so it is not easy to get close.
"I am the honorary knight of the Amethyst Civilization. I don't know the specific situation here. Let's leave immediately." Li Yu answered in the channel.
“Please upload identity verification…” the other party replied.
After a series of verifications, the other party did not board the ship for inspection again, but just asked them to leave as soon as possible.
