Though the earnings were a bit less, it certainly was more comfortable.
So mining planets had truly harsh living conditions, and while they offered higher pay, the environnt was indescribable. It was no place for humans to linger.
However, what made him slightly curious was.
He'd heard on his way here that pirates frequently raided mining planets, stealing all their mined resources. Initially, he felt a bit worried, but in all this ti, he hadn't seen any sign of pirates.
Have the pirates overlooked this mining planet?
Or could it be...
There simply aren't that many pirates in the cosmos?
Indeed.
How could so many people beco pirates? It's so dangerous. Isn't it better to do so honest work? Even if the pay isn't much, at least life is secure.
...
Inside the Fixed Star train.
After completing his stress-relieving routine, Chen Mang once again returned to work mode. He looked at the "Doppler Radar" screen, admiring the "Cosmic Void" and the Akanon Main Cannon destined to reach the Nia Star System in several millennia.
After countless millions or even billions of years of travel.
The power of this Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon had reached an incredibly exaggerated level.
Once it arrives at the Nia Star System, it is estimated to instantly destroy it, potentially spreading to a larger area, leaving the surroundings in extre turmoil for thousands of years.
But—
If one did not think about the destruction this beam would bring, rely appreciating it would actually feel quite impressive and spectacular.
He wasn't worried about this.
The distance was too vast.
It was sothing to happen in thousands of years; by that ti, who knows where he'd be, so it wasn't a current concern.
He glanced at the "Insect Race Civilization" again.
Still without any movent, seeming unprepared, which worked in his favor as he needed a bit more ti too. He looked at the mining progress on those planets, which was speeding up quite nicely under the large number of mining robots.
It's worth ntioning.
The Kasha Civilization Federation, consisting of nearly ten thousand civilizations, had completely polarized.
Those civilizations confird to adopt a non-resistance policy had all moved to Star System 27, the closest system to the Insect Race Civilization. Besides, recently, several civilizations had sent negotiation invitations to the "Human Civilization".
But... these civilizations couldn't reach him, so they could only spread their ssages on forums and various places.
He ignored them.
The ti for negotiation hadn't co yet.
Just as he was about to go over recent developnts again, a refrigerator in the corner of the train cabin started blinking red. This refrigerator was a connection to the "Starfire Civilization".
Inside, a red light was connected through a cable.
If there was an ergency ssage from the Starfire Civilization, it would light up the red light.
An elentary but effective ans of communication.
The cable.
Considered a relatively primitive form of signal transmission, yet it fit perfectly when placed in a refrigerator, achieving almost perfect imdiate communication across countless light-years without the harsh environnts of wormholes. The refrigerator didn't have adverse conditions.
"Hmm?"
Chen Mang raised an eyebrow, imdiately putting down his work. He strode into the refrigerator with Elder Ai and several others, arriving at the Starfire Civilization. Soon he saw, with an anxious look on his face, the leader of the Starfire Civilization marching towards him.
"Chen Mang."
The leader of the Starfire Civilization had completely lost his usual calm deanor; he appeared anxious and flustered, his steps even seed hurried: "There's a small problem."
"The 'Starfire Civilization' has been using random wormholes to travel to all corners of the cosmos."
"That's the ability of our Stellar Giant Beast beneath us."
"But this ti—"
"It seems we've randomly ended up in a troubling place. The ability to randomly teleport can't be used consecutively, nor can it be used actively; it's all a passive behavior of the 'Black Tortoise' beneath us, uncontrollable by itself."
"..."
Chen Mang's eyes flickered with a trace of surprise. He knew the Starfire Civilization wandered the cosmos through random teleportation, but he really didn't know that the Starfire Civilization couldn't actively control this random teleportation ability.
It sounds...
A bit like an enhanced weaker version of "Mondo".
Mondo's random teleportation is controllable but with a smaller range, limited to one planet and incapable of random cosmic teleportation.
So, does that an.
That these 'Black Tortoise' type Stellar Giant Beasts are separated from their parents shortly after birth?
But there was no ti to ponder this.
Following the direction that the Starfire Civilization leader pointed, he looked into the distance, his body suddenly freezing in place, involuntarily parting his lips open in awe. At this mont, he finally understood why the Starfire Civilization leader was so anxious.
Was it even... fear?!
The scene before his eyes was entirely astonishing and defying common sense.
Bright, imnsely bright.
The whole sky was lit up.
Within the brightness, only a vague silhouette of a colossal light sphere could be seen, occupying almost the entire sky, but it still faintly revealed that this giant shadow was a... palace!
Yes, a palace.
Despite the distance.
The surface structure was still visible, for instance, those "giant pillars," though it's unimaginable how tall and large they must be to be so clearly visible from afar.
The palace's surface space-ti appeared subtly distorted.
Creating an extraordinarily magnificent scene.
This palace had the ability to reflect a star's light, making it the brightest object in the night sky.
He finally understood why the Starfire Civilization leader was so terrified.
