Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng had already arranged their vacation after booking the tickets. For them, this was also a rare journey.
When they were young, they grew up on their home planet, and after they got married, they came to Tianluo Star. They had never been to Tiandou Star. After all, it was the first stop for human interstellar migration, and it had epoch-making significance for all mankind. They also wanted to go there, to see what the situation of the first planet developed by humans was like now.
"Mom, can we take the spaceship later?" Lan Xuanyu sat in the car, holding Nan Cheng's hand excitedly.
Nan Cheng looked into her son's big eyes, chuckled, and said, "Silly boy, this is the sixth time you have asked your mother the same question. Yes, yes. We can take a spaceship later. Then we can reach the vast space."
"Oh yeah, that's awesome!" Lan Xuanyu shouted excitedly.
Lan Xiao turned around and looked at his son with some doting. As he grew older, Lan Xuanyu had grown from a super cute baby to a handsome boy. Especially his big eyes, which seemed to have a purple color in addition to the original black color as he grew older. His eyes were so clear that they seemed to reflect the whole world, and his long eyelashes fluttered as he blinked. No matter who saw him, they would almost feel pity for him at the first moment.
Finally, the soul guide car arrived at its destination, the aviation base in Ziluo City. They needed to take a soul guide plane from Ziluo City to Tianluo City, the capital of Tianluo Star, and then transfer to a spaceship from Tianluo City to go to Tiandou Star.
So far, only the capital Tianluo City has spaceships that can cross space. And the number of flights is not large. All flights need to be booked in advance.
Lan Xuanyu had already ridden the soul-guided plane before. In the past, whenever his parents had a holiday, they would take him to other cities and tourist attractions on Tianluo Star. What he was most looking forward to was the spaceship. For children of their generation, space was the place they most yearned for.
Three hours later, the soul-guided plane landed smoothly at the Tianluo City Space Center. After taking the shuttle bus for another half an hour, they entered the core area of the vast space center.
The entire space center is decorated in white as the main tone. On the huge white metal wall, there is a wide screen with some pictures playing on it.
"Wow! Mom, is that a space battleship?" As soon as the picture appeared, Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but jump up excitedly.
Nan Cheng quickly bent down and made a gesture to him to keep quiet, "Shh, Xuanyu, keep your voice down. It's a basic quality not to make loud noises in public areas. Because we can't affect others!"
"Yes, yes. Mom, I was wrong. Mom, is that a space battleship?" Lan Xuanyu asked excitedly while lowering his voice.
Nan Cheng looked up at the big screen. On the big screen, the background was the boundless starry sky, and a number of silver-white warships were flying in space. There were more than a hundred warships, some large and some small. The largest of them was like a fortress, guarded by many other warships.
"Yes. It's a battleship. Judging from the number on the battleship, this should be the newly completed Federation Fourth Fleet Space Battle Group." Lan Xiao answered his son's question.
"Dad, that's great! I also want to drive a battleship when I grow up, okay?" Lan Xuanyu pulled Lan Xiao's hand and shook it, feeling indescribably excited.
Lan Xiao smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched his son's head, "It's not easy to drive a battleship. You need to study hard and be admitted to the battleship department in college." Let's ask, which teenager has not had a dream of space? He was young once, and he also yearned to become a space battleship commander. However, it is more than one in a million! To be able to go into space and become a member of a battleship, the effort required is beyond words. Without more than 20 years of professional training and hard training, it is almost impossible to succeed.
The space fleet is the most advantageous weapon for human interstellar migration, and it is also the most important guarantee for human beings to complete interstellar migration. You know, it took thousands of years for humans to successfully build four space fleets. Each space fleet is the most important asset of the Douluo Federation.
However, with the increase in the number of administrative stars under control and the advancement of human technology, the occupied administrative stars provide more resources, and the speed of subsequent construction of space fleets is obviously accelerating.
Humans have even begun to try to build the first space transfer station in space. The exact location of this transfer station is only known to the top military officials. It is named Shrek Space Fortress to commemorate the outstanding contributions made by Shrek College, the first college of the Federation, to the Federation for tens of thousands of years.
At the same time as the construction of the Shrek Space Fortress began, the fifth and sixth federal space fleets also began construction. It is expected to be completed within fifty years.
Lan Xuanyu couldn't take his eyes off the big screen for a long time. The warships were so dazzling, especially the metal turrets on the warships that were shining with a faint light. He felt as if he had already arrived at the spectacular scene of thousands of cannons firing at the same time. It was really too dazzling and beautiful.
"Let's go. We can't be late. Otherwise, we won't be able to take the spaceship." Nan Cheng tempted his son.
"OK."
The family of three went through the boarding procedures. The procedures were a bit complicated, and they had to go through three security checks alone. Spacecraft are expensive to build. There have been criminals who have tried to steal spacecraft in human history, so the security check was particularly strict.
After passing through one level after another, I finally entered the inner area, and the next step was to wait.
Through the huge glass window, Lan Xuanyu saw that in the distance, there was an object like a cannonball standing on the open ground.
"Yes, that is the spaceship we are going to take later." Lan Xiao answered his son's question without waiting for him to ask.
"Wow! It's so big." Lan Xuanyu's excitement continued.
Lan Xiao smiled and said, "A spaceship is made up of many parts, the most important of which are the spaceship itself and the thrusters during takeoff. The thrusters will send the spaceship into space, detach, and then return on their own for reuse. After the spaceship enters space, it will cruise along a predetermined orbit until it reaches our destination. Since there is a wormhole for jumping, it is expected to take seven days for us to fly to Tiandou Star. So, don't get too excited now, it's very boring in space."
"I like space, Dad. I'm not afraid of being bored." Lan Xuanyu's excitement does not diminish because of his father's words.
Boarding! After the final security check, the family of three finally boarded the spacecraft.
Spaceship cabins are naturally divided into high, medium and low grades. In fact, ordinary working class people simply cannot afford to ride on a spaceship. Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng are already considered upper middle class, and this kind of space travel once a year is enough to consume their savings.
Even so, they only traveled in the lowest class of cabin.
Each person has about one square meter of space, which is vertically long and is a semi-reclining chair with metal straps on both sides, but they are separated. It is quite comfortable to sit on it.
Children's seats are different from those for adults. Lan Xuanyu's seat is smaller, but he can lie flat. Right next to his parents. This family combination is a package when buying tickets. It is relatively more economical.
"Welcome aboard the Federal Space Agency's Spacecraft No. 7703. We hope that you will feel safe and happy with our company during the long journey ahead. Below, we would like to introduce some simple precautions, which passengers are requested to follow."
A pleasant female voice was broadcasting. br>
