Chapter 1094 Man-Made Miracle
"Hello, this is your takeaway. I wish you a pleasant meal."
"Thanks."
After seeing off the delivery boy, Li Chengqi sat on the space capsule with lemonade, put the cup into the groove, plugged in the extension hose, and lay back.
Good luck.
Therefore, Li Chengqi is usually in this unmotivated state, and he can stay like this for the rest of his life.
However, the two-headed little man on the screen is obviously not as happy as Li Chengqi.
The screen showed the cabin of the Swan. Fang Lanyin got into the maintenance window to check if there was any problem. Shanafia carried a large tool box and started working next to it.
Although he escaped under the siege of three star cluster combined battleships and the outflanked crystalline life forms, it was still a fierce battle. There were more and more items that the Swan needed to repair, and Fang Lanyin had to do it every day when he opened his eyes. When he sleeps with his eyes closed, he does more than the donkeys in the production team.
There was no way, she was the only mechanic on the ship. At most, Villania could help check the system part. Only Fang Lanyin knew how to deal with the machinery.
Seeing her emerge from the maintenance tunnel, Li Chengqi threw in two glasses of lemonade.
"Take a rest for a while, you can't finish this work."
Normally, a ship like the Swan must have a dedicated team of mechanics, and there are not just one or two. They usually perform maintenance while sailing, not to mention the logistics staff and a lot of other things.
However, the Swan was short of manpower and relied entirely on Fang Lanyin himself.
That’s really something that you can’t finish until you die.
Alyssa probably knew that Fang Lanyin was indeed too busy, so she probably gave up on chasing the starship temporarily for this reason. She first went to the capital of the Spinning Water Federation to see Emma and Sun Lin off, and recruit some crew members by the way.
I didn't recruit in the talent market of the Knight Agency before because I was afraid that Carlos would be in the same situation again, not to mention that there was a mixed bag of good and bad people in that damn place, and Alyssa wanted reliable crew members.
Speaking of sending Emma and Sun Lin off, the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation was escorting and sailing near the Swan. This journey was very peaceful. No matter it was the troublemakers behind the scenes or wild pirates, no one dared to mess with a squadron.
Even due to the wartime situation, some galaxies have been restricted and civilian ships must take a detour. But following the squadron, they took the military route directly and greatly accelerated their rush to the Star Gate.
Li Chengqi chatted with Fang Lanyin for a few words, and then switched the screen to the bridge. At this time, Alyssa was communicating with the officers of the squadron.
"Ms. Alyssa, I can only escort you here. We have patrol missions next."
"Thank you so much."
It is said that it can only be escorted here, but in fact the Star Gate has reached the range that the Swan can reach with one jump.
"Have a safe journey."
Immediately, communications were cut off, and the fleets of the Spinning Water Federation started to jump.
They are patrol fleets stationed in the star system near the star gate, and of course they have to return to their respective patrol posts now.
After the squadron left, the Swan immediately started to jump. When the white light on the bridge disappeared, the Swan appeared in a new galaxy.
This galaxy has three gaseous planets and no Earth-like planets. The gaseous planets are separated by a large number of meteorites. At first glance, they look like a sandwich structure.
But the biggest feature of this galaxy is its stars.
That star, which is the same color as the sun, can occasionally see large long shadows, as if something is blocking the star's light. Due to the distance, it is really difficult to see clearly.
The Swan then started a pulse flight towards the star. Only when the distance was closer could the structure of the shadow be seen a little clearly.
Those are two huge rings.
What looks like a cross from a distance is actually a huge ring wrapped around the star, spinning and flipping around the star. The ring that could wrap the sun felt like a miracle to most people on the bridge, and everyone was stunned.
"That's a fire-stealing giant ring, used to absorb a lot of energy."
Alyssa explained casually:
"Originally, it was planned to be called the Great Ring of Dawn, but it was opposed by the followers of the Lord of the Dawn. They tried to organize a manpower parade to protest. Later, it was changed to the Great Ring of Fire Stealing, specifically to annoy those believers of the Lord of the Dawn."
"..."
Li Chengqi, I feel a little bit subtle.
After all, Luosanda himself was eating hot pot at Li Chengqi's house not long ago.
For believers, the sun is the incarnation of the sun god. Wrapping a layer of man-made objects on the sun and stealing the power of the sun is equivalent to stealing the power of God.
But this is actually because believers think too much, or think the opposite way.
The sun is not the incarnation of the sun god. In fact, it is the sun god who is the incarnation of the sun.
Moreover, Lathander is not the only one who has the related sun priesthood. He only has the dawn priesthood. The real sun god Pelor has not spoken, so the believers can't stand it anymore, but it's okay.
However, this is also the usual operation of ordinary people, and it is too taken for granted.
You think our Lord is merciful, but actually He doesn’t care.
"Where is the Stargate?"
"above."
The brightness of the star is too high, which means that the closer you get to the star, the harder it is to see clearly.
The Swan tilted its course and headed towards the airspace above the sun. Only then did it notice that a large number of engine lights could be seen in this direction. Many cargo ships and passenger ships were moving forward on this route, densely packed in a large area.
The so-called Star Gate finally revealed its true face at this time.
The first thing I saw was a huge silver-white strip, like a pillar. But looking out from the bridge, I couldn't actually see the whole thing because it was so big.
Li Chengqi switched to the rear-end perspective of the Swan and saw a huge triangular object on the route of all the ships. From a distance, it looked like a planet (it was actually not that big).
It floats above the star, as if it will fall into the star at any time, but visual inspection is the most unreliable method on the scale of the universe. In fact, it is still very far away from the star.
And as the Swan gets closer, you will find that the color of the star changes little by little, from the color of the sun to blue-white.
It's like there is a coating that was invisible from the previous angle, wrapping one side of the star.
In fact, this layer of coating is the main body of the fire-stealing giant ring. Light and heat will be absorbed by this layer of coating, converted into magic power, and compressed and stored in the fire-stealing giant ring.
The engine lights of a large number of transport ships are connected together, like an endless star chain, transporting highly compressed magic power between the fire-stealing giant ring and the star gate.
The Fire Stealing Giant Ring itself was built for the Star Gate, although to outsiders, it felt like it was just for this plate of vinegar-filled dumplings.
But in addition to stars, even the most advanced reactors are not enough to support the huge consumption of the star gate. This thing itself is a gold-swallowing behemoth.
Moreover, it is also a miracle.
A man-made miracle.
