Chapter 14428 Arrival
In the next ten days, the Hound did not encounter any danger until they entered the territory of the Star Empire. When they entered the territory of the Star Empire, there was an obvious sign, that is Their spaceship will receive an identification message. They must reply to the message before they can sail in the Star Empire. Otherwise, they will be considered as invaders or space pirates and will be eliminated directly. dropped.
And these days, Zhao Hai also learned some things from Revell. The main reason why the Star Empire doesn't care much about these adventure groups is that if they pay taxes to the Star Empire, don't think that they are smuggling. , the Star Empire will not collect taxes from them. In fact, they must pay taxes, even if they are engaged in smuggling and buying They also have to pay taxes when selling their goods. As long as their goods are bought and sold, the empire will collect taxes during the process. If you pay this kind of tax, then that’s it. The empire may just pretend that it doesn’t know about you. It's smuggling, that is, if you dare not even pay this kind of tax, someone will find you soon, and then it will not just be as simple as paying taxes.
People like Xiang Zhao Hai who have no status can apply for status as long as they are on the less strict administrative stars in the empire. However, ordinary administrative stars also need a lot of procedures to apply for status. , but it is not needed on some planets. Among them, Bona Star is one of them. This Bona Star has another name, called Adventurer Star. Of course, some people call him behind his back. The Star of Sin, because there are many fugitives here, but no matter whether you have committed crimes on other planets, as long as you arrive on Bona Planet, if there is no crime on Bona Planet, the government of Bona Star will not care about you. , at the same time, Boda Star is also the largest collection and distribution center of dirt in the Star Empire. Of course, these dirt are cheaper, so this has created the surprising prosperity of Boda Star.
But this kind of prosperity is abnormal. It is extremely prosperous, but there are also large slums in it. On many other administrative planets, it is considered an illegal business, but here on Bona Star, it is legal, so it is also called It is a sin star, but because you can do many things here that cannot be done on other administrative stars, it also makes it very attractive. Every year, many rich people looking for excitement come here to play. , which makes Bona Star even more prosperous.
Of course, this also creates another situation, that is, the identity certificate here in Bona Star is not recognized by many other administrative stars. In other words, if you hold the identity certificate in Bona Star, sometimes you There is no way to enter other administrative stars. There are some administrative stars that you can go to, but some you cannot. Okay, this is a kind of discrimination against Bona Star, but there is no way. There are gains and losses. When Bona Star is making a lot of money by using those adventure groups and illegal businesses, they also have to People in Bona Star also know that they have to pay a corresponding price, and everyone gradually stops taking it seriously.
But even in a place like Bona Star, you still have to pay taxes. In the Star Empire, there is actually only one kind of tax, and that is the transaction tax, and the transaction tax is not paid once, but an unlimited number of times. For example, , Xinnuo and the others want to buy an optical brain. When they buy the optical brain, the empire will collect a transaction tax during their transaction. However, Xinnuo and the others have used that optical brain for a while and feel that it is not good. Use it, they want to sell this bare brain , if someone buys it, they will still collect some transaction tax during the transaction. If the other party sells the optical computer, they will still have to pay a transaction tax. In this way, a situation will arise, and it may be that in the end, The tax he paid on this item during the transaction was higher than its original value. Although the transaction tax is not high, paying it all the time will cause people a lot of headaches. It is the Star Empire. The people here have long been used to it.
These were all mentioned by Revell in passing when he told Zhao Hai about Bona Star. In other words, even though the things on their ship are considered smuggled goods, as long as the ship arrives at Bona Star, it will If they sell those things, they will have to pay taxes on them. After paying the taxes, the things will no longer be considered smuggled. It is also because of such a law that the Star Empire turns a blind eye to smuggling. Close one eye, because they don't care How do you get things that you have to pay taxes to them when they get here, so why do they still care? It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hai is so curious. He really did not expect that this would be like this. This Star Empire The people are really talented. They actually treat the matter of smuggling with such an attitude. At the same time, he is also more interested in this Bona star. He really wants to know what this Bona star is. What kind of planet is it.
Xinnuo and the others were really right. After their spaceship entered the Star Empire, they encountered no danger at all. Xinnuo and the others also completely relaxed. This may be their trust in the Star Empire. They I believe it is safe here.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything when he arrived. There must be a reason for Xin Nuo's behavior. As a person who has just entered the Star Empire, it's better not to tell the truth. Therefore, Zhao Hai is just learning about the stars these days. The basic situation here in the empire did not do anything else, but he also noticed that they passed by some planets these days and even encountered some spaceships, but those spaceships ignored the Hound, and as they went further As they walked inside the Star Empire, they encountered more spaceships.
Among these spaceships, there are many cargo ships, some are passenger ships, and some are private spaceships. Relatively speaking, private spaceships are much smaller, but they are more beautiful, more luxurious, and more sci-fi. Zhao Hai is still very curious about these spaceships. Zhao Hai even saw some anti-bio-proof spacecrafts. The so-called anti-biocrafts mean that these spacecrafts are made like some animals. For example, Zhao Hai saw one giant eagle spaceship, There is also a goldfish spaceship. Common life-prevention spaceships are all privately customized spaceships. Almost all of them are flashy things. However, these spaceships are symbols of status, because the price of these life-prevention spaceships is very high. High, even if there are ten spaceships like the Hound, you may not be able to buy one life-prevention spacecraft. Of course, these are all what Revell told Zhao Hai. When he talked about those life-prevention spaceships, There was also a look of envy on his face.
After more than a month of flying, they finally arrived at Bona Star. This month also allowed Zhao Hai to have a deeper understanding of the situation in the Star Empire. People's lives in the Star Empire were not as good as before. It is not as short as Zhao Hai imagined. Zhao Hai thought that people here in the Star Empire can only live for more than a hundred years at most, but people in the Emperor's Star Empire can live to be three to five hundred years old, and some have longevity. People can even live to be around a thousand years old.
The reason why the people here in the Star Empire have such long lives is related to two things. One is practice. The internal skills, mental methods and visualization methods they practice can make their lives longer. In other words, it can make people live longer. Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The other reason is the basic potion. In the Star Empire, there is a gene potion. This gene potion can make people's bodies younger. It can make people live longer. It is very normal for people to live for three to five hundred years.
This kind of gene potion is not expensive, and most people can afford it, so people here in the Star Empire can live a long time, and over a long period of time, they can ensure that their bodies are in peak condition.
Another situation that surprised Zhao Hai was that there are masters here in the Star Empire. These masters are also very powerful and have longer lives. Revell said that behind the Bona Star, there are He is a master in the Star Empire. I heard that this master is almost a thousand years old now, but once It doesn’t look old at all, and here in the Star Empire, there are many masters like this, and everyone has a big force of their own. Among them, the place with the most masters is in the military. This is why here in the Star Empire The reason why it is so stable is because here, the military's combat effectiveness is even stronger.
Of course, when it comes to how strong those masters are, Zhao Hai doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know, but he can be sure that those masters may be stronger than him now, because those masters are not strong enough. If they are strong, people from the other six realms , I am afraid that they will not let go of the Star Empire. The reason why the Star Empire is so stable now is because their combat effectiveness is strong enough. With the addition of those battleships, this can make the people in the Six Realms calm down. Otherwise, they It had already been eaten in one bite.
Of course, Zhao Hai just thought about it in his heart and did not say it out loud. He really wanted to enter the Bona Star and get his identity confirmed as soon as possible. Now they have entered the Bona Star. Within the range of the star, in a day or so, you can enter the space port of Bona Star. All spaceships must park there, and then fly within the star from there. The vehicle can enter the interior of the planet. Of course, if you don’t want to take the intra-planetary vehicle, you can also take the intra-planetary rail transportation. There is nothing wrong with it except that it takes a little longer, because the intra-planetary rail transportation is the intra-planetary train. It is a kind of maglev train that runs five times a day. It is not fast and much slower than other intra-planetary aircraft. But it has one advantage, that is, it is cheap.
Intraplanetary aircraft are generally divided into three types. One is private. This kind of intraplanetary aircraft belongs to those rich people. They are fully automatic. Even if those rich people go to other planets, before returning, they only need to give If you give an order to your private aircraft, the aircraft will go to the designated location to pick up the rich man. This is just like a private car, and it is still a self-driving private car.
The second type is a shared aircraft. This type of aircraft can seat very few people and generally can only carry no more than four people. It is a type of transportation similar to a taxi. Of course, the price of this type of transportation is also high. Relatively speaking, it is more expensive. The third type is intra-star trains, which are equivalent to buses. Everyone can take them, and the cost is very low. Generally, only people with little money can take them.
