Who still falls in love in the interstellar era?

Chapter 31 Partners and Burdens (Please collect and read)

Lily: "So we're going to get the dreadnought now?"

Wang Chao and Nimiao shook their heads together: "No, no, no!"

Wang Chao: "That is the long-term goal. Let's solve the immediate problem first. Our helium-[-] is enough for us to leave New Eden's sphere of influence, but after leaving, we will only have a little bit of helium-[-] left. So we must solve it first The helium-[-] problem.”

Nimiao looked at him: "I guess you just have an old friend who can solve this problem."

Wang Chao: "Yes, I know a retired bounty hunter. He established a settlement on a planet on the edge of the New Eden Civilization Circle and enjoys the life of returning home."

Nimiao: "Where can he mine helium-[-]? If there is such a place, there will definitely be pirates who get wind of it. Where there is helium-[-], there are either military contractors, pirates, or strong local armed forces. trade transit point.”

"You are talking about the general situation." Wang Chao paused, "And the current situation is that only I know the senior's retreat. I will secretly go to his place to add helium-[-] and bring him daily necessities. The place he chose lacked some minerals and could not build a complete production line, so I had to deliver many things to him."

Lily said excitedly: "I know this plot, in the "Galaxy Dead" chapter..."

Wang Chao: "This is a real situation, don't mention the movie."

Lily pouted: "Okay."

Nimiao: "You have told the screenwriter of the movie, but you are still the only one who knows the hermitage of this senior? Even if there is, is that senior really reliable? You have a huge bounty hanging on your head now. New Eden’s sphere of influence can buy an entire planet.”

Wang Chao: "Don't worry, Senior doesn't have a quantum communication device. He can only receive information through radio waves. It will take more than 900 years for the radio waves sent from New Eden to reach the planet where Senior lives."

Lily asked curiously: "Can't you send that time-space mail package? It's the one you sent to the middleman after you saved me."

Wang Chao: "The parcel needs to know the coordinates of the other party. And these coordinates are not fixed. Every star in the Milky Way is moving. You have to know the basic parameters of star movement..."

Wang Chao suddenly stopped.

Nimiao: "Did you forget to delete the star map on your spaceship?"

Wang Chao slapped his head. Because the power of his prosthetic body was very strong, this slap made his head buzz. If it weren't for the fact that his head was also lumpy, he would have suffered a concussion.

Nimiao: "Don't worry, I formatted the computer data for you before I left. Unless... you still have a physical storage that is not connected to the network."

Wang Chao: "I have a star map, it's in the sideboard."

In fact, Wang Chao didn't forget it intentionally. He was the fused bounty hunter Wang Chao's memory. These memories needed some opportunities to trigger before he could "recall" them.For example, when Nimiao asked "Do you happen to know someone who can solve this problem?" Wang Chao thought of the reclusive senior.

Only when Nimiao said, "Unless you still have a physical storage that is not connected to the network," did he remember the existence of the star map.

The purpose of preparing the star map is to know where the old friends who can be relied on are in the extreme situation when the ship's computer is formatted by a hacker and he is severely damaged in the battle and loses his storage.

Nimiao sighed, and Wang Chao knew that she must be checking the destination of the spaceship now.

So Wang Chao said: "Don't worry, I didn't jump directly to the senior. Even the distance of a greyhound-level jump is not enough. So, the good news is that we will not be caught immediately after the jump."

Lily: "Is there another bad news?" Wang Chao: "The bad news is that if we can't go to our seniors to add helium-[-], we can add helium-[-] within our reach, and at the same time, the New Eden forces can add helium-[-]. There are only three cosmic sites outside the range. Many bounty hunters must have gone to these places.

"After all, these sites are said to be outside New Eden, but there are no customs or border police to prevent people from entering or exiting."

Yes, this is the characteristic of this era. The border police can only control the galaxy at the core of civilization. Outside the core galaxy, everyone can go wherever they want.

So even if you leave the range of New Eden, bounty hunters will still chase you.

However, most bounty hunters, like Wang Chao, only operate in specific areas. There are very few bounty hunters who often travel across long distances in areas controlled by different forces.

In short, after leaving New Eden's control area, there were fewer bounty hunters willing to chase him.

In addition, if they leave the area they are familiar with, the intelligence gathering ability of bounty hunters will also become worse, and it will also become difficult to find Wang Chao in such a large universe.

Nimiao: "Does that mean there will definitely be a fierce battle when we get to those sites? Then we don't have many choices. We can only choose sites equipped with strong weapons."

Lily tilted her head again: "Why?"

Wang Chao: "Because if the site is protected by an armed fleet, the bounty hunters chasing us will not dare to make trouble. The security forces of those sites are not familiar with New Eden, and most of the sites do not use New Eden's currency. No. They will attack us because of the bounty posted here in New Eden.

"On the contrary, if there are bounty hunters who dare to open fire around the site without greeting them, in order to maintain the deterrence of the local garrison, the security fleet will open fire immediately."

Lily: "That...isn't it pretty good?"

Nimiao looked at her and sighed: "So you don't understand at all. If you are encountered in space, it will have no impact if you are taken with you. At most, you will die if the spacecraft explodes. But after docking, taking you with you will have no impact." That’s big.”

Lily thought for a while and said, "Wouldn't it be better if I didn't leave the spacecraft?"

"No." Wang Chao shook his head, "The security system of the spaceship is only a computer-controlled security system after all. Our spaceship is not equipped with strong artificial intelligence and can be hacked at any time. It is safest for you to follow us."

Nimiao interfaced: "If we have powerful computing power on the spacecraft, we can connect me to the computer and keep me in the spacecraft. But our spacecraft does not have such computing power. In addition, if I am on the spaceship, it will be very difficult for Wang Chao." The support is greatly affected by the local network hardware, so it is far better to follow him directly."

Lily looked back and forth between the two of them: "So?"

"You have to follow us to the space station." Wang Chao concluded.

Ni Miao looked like she was gloating: "So you have to deal with this burden. At the best, if you serve as Wang Chao's plug-in armor, you can at least increase his gunfight survival rate by one percent."

"No, there is no such thing." Wang Chao denied.

Lily smiled, but the next moment her smile froze on her face.

Wang Chao: "It's less than one percent, not even as good as the penetration resistance provided by the magnetic coating on my joints."
