It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Chapter 276

When Su Chaoliu stood on the ground, she still felt her legs were a little sore and weak, and she had to hold on to something to stand steadily.

Yan Tieyi looked at her like this and held her with his hand: "Are you okay?"

"It's OK," Su Chaoliu said, "Wait for me to slow down."

It took Su Chaoliu three minutes to recover from her dizziness. She looked around and asked, "Where is this?"

"This is an asteroid 600 light years away from Yanhuang Star," Yan Tieyi looked up at the distant horizon, "This is a no-man's land. The star seas of the three nearest sovereign stars are quite far away from here, so this place has become a refuge planet for exiles, and is also called the Exile Star."

Su Chaoliu nodded: "I've heard of it, but I didn't expect to come here."

The Exiled Star has always appeared in the curriculum of the First Military Academy, but it is not a compulsory course, but an elective course called Interstellar Situation. The students of the First Military Academy call this elective course a chat class. There is no textbook or courseware. The teacher in class casually chats about the relationship between Yanhuang Star and other sovereign stars, recent actions, etc. The score of this elective course is not high, but the completion method is simple. You only need to write a 2,000-word paper to pass, so there are still many people who choose it.

Of course Su Chaoliu also chose this course. Although she did not attend any classes and learned through videos, she studied hard enough. Her final paper was not copied and pasted from Starnet like other students. Instead, it was an original work after careful consideration, so she also received high scores in this course.

But she originally thought that she would have to wait until she graduated before she could actually visit the Exile Planet. She never thought that she was standing on this planet now.

"What are we here for?" Su Chaoliu asked confusedly. She was brought here by Yan Tieyi without any explanation and she didn't know their purpose.

"A batch of arms has been delivered," Yan Tieyi said, "We need to find out who it was delivered to."

"Wait wait wait wait..." Su Chaoliu felt a headache after hearing this, "Shouldn't you be the one to investigate this kind of thing?"

What is Yan Tieyi's identity? He is in charge of military command. Why should he do this kind of field investigation?
It is not a question of whether he can do it or whether he has the ability to complete the task, but a question of not interfering in matters that are not within his jurisdiction.

The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, and the more limited the freedom. Military affairs alone took up most of Yan Tieyi's time. If he were to conduct this kind of investigation, how long would it take him to complete it?

"This is what I want to check," Yan Tieyi said in a deep voice, "I want to know who is providing funds for the pirates on the Exile Star to purchase equipment."

Su Chaoliu figured out something from his tone: "Personal grudge?"

"No," Yan Tieyi denied, "It's just that the things I checked can't be told to others."

Su Chaoliu asked: "So you are the only one investigating?"

"How is that possible?" Yan Tieyi shook his head. "Of course I have allies, but I took on this mission because I didn't want to stay on Yanhuang Star."

Su Chaoliu thought about it and agreed. If Yan Tieyi had no help, then who sent the person who was replacing her on the starship now?

Logically speaking, Yan Tieyi should be attending a meeting on Yanhuang Star now. This meeting is an annual routine. Although it is important, Yan Tieyi's troops do not have so much to report, so in the second half of the meeting, Yan Tieyi only needs to attend but does not need to express his opinions.

Since he sneaked out, he must have made arrangements.

"Okay," Su Chaoliu sighed, "Where should we start?"

Since she is here, she might as well make the best of it. She has been abducted to the Exile Star by Yan Tieyi, so she will do her best to help him achieve his goal.

"Let's wait for someone to come and pick us up first," Yan Tieyi said without any rush to make the next move. "The Exile Star also has its own rules. We are new here, so we must first understand the situation."

Waiting for someone to pick us up means that Yan Tieyi has made some arrangements on the Exile Star.

This is not surprising. Although the distance of 600 light years is not close, the latest model of starship can arrive there in half a day. So we still need to make some preparations here.

"Who is coming?" Su Chaoliu asked softly.

Yan Tieyi said: "It's Harrison, the third-level leader of Black Stone."

Since Su Chaoliu had taken a course on interstellar situations, he had some understanding of the Exile Star.

There are about a dozen forces of varying sizes on the Exile Star, each carving out their own territory and continuing to disappear or grow. But generally speaking, they are still divided into three major forces, with Blackstone being the second-ranked one.

Su Chaoliu understood: "So the supporters behind Blackstone are you?"

"It can't be called support," Yan Tieyi said lightly, "it's just some cooperation."

Even if they support and cooperate, what is there on Exile Star that is worthy of Yanhuang Star cooperating with them? Is it relying on this old car?

Su Chaoliu looked at the aircraft slowly landing in front of them and was speechless for a long time.

This type of aircraft has been discontinued. It is a model from about thirty years ago. I didn't expect to see it here.

A man walked down from the cockpit of the aircraft. He had messy brown-yellow hair, a high nose, deep eyes, and a dirty-looking beard. It was obvious that he was not from the Yanhuang star.

"This is Mr. Harrison from Blackstone," Yan Tieyi introduced Su Chaoliu, "We will need to trouble him in the next two days."

Harrison spoke Yanhuangxing with a strong accent: "No, no, I will do my best to help Mr. Han."

Han is Yan Tieyi's mother's surname. I think this is Yan Tieyi's pseudonym, used specifically on the Exile Star.

"Let's get in the car first." Harrison said. After nodding, he didn't even glance at Su Chaoliu, who was brought by Yan Tieyi. It was obvious that he didn't take Su Chaoliu seriously. Su Chaoliu didn't need him to focus his attention on her.

"Go up," Yan Tieyi whispered, "Be careful, the stairs are not very stable."

Su Chaoliu looked back at the fighter jets they had parked: "Just leave the fighter jets here?"

"Black Rock will send people to guard it," Yan Tieyi pointed at the Black Rock people, "at most two days, then we'll be gone."

Su Chaoliu followed his instructions and stepped onto the shaky steps to board the aircraft.

Yan Tieyi followed suit and Harrison quickly started the aircraft and left.

Su Chaoliu looked around at his seat and found a hidden pattern on the leather of the chair he was sitting on, which was a brand logo of the Han family.

She looked up at Yan Tieyi, but saw that his eyes were looking out the window, not at her.

However, Su Chaoliu could also guess that there were probably many parts in this aircraft that were products of the Han family. Although they were all obsolete old products, they were enough for the people on the Exile Star.

When they arrived at the destination, Yan Tieyi took Su Chaoliu out of the car.

In front of me is a very low building with only two floors. Each floor is just over two meters high, so it looks very depressing.

Harrison arranged for them: "You rest here first, the boss will see you later."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Yan Tieyi nodded, pulled Su Chaoliu into the low building, and closed the door casually.

Such a short building would be very dark once the door was closed. Light could only come in from two narrow windows, and visibility was only three or four meters.

Su Chaoliu turned on his light computer and confirmed that there was no signal here. The light computer could only use some functions that were not connected to the Internet, and he didn't even know the time.

Su Chaoliu asked: "What time is it now?"

"I don't know," Yan Tieyi said, "The time on Yanhuang Star has no meaning here."

Su Chaoliu looked up at him, not knowing what he meant.

Yan Tieyi walked up to her and motioned for her to look at the sky: "Do you see the sun?"

Su Chaoliu shook his head: "Without a sunshine satellite, how can there be the sun?"

The reason why there is day and night on Yanhuang Star is because they have built a weather system in the interstellar space that can imitate sunset and moonrise, wind, rain, clear sky and snow. Among them, the most important is the Rizhao Satellite representing the sun. However, the light of the Rizhao Satellite can never be transmitted to the Exile Star.

The light on Exile Star now comes from an unknown satellite. It is not known what the function of this light is, but it definitely does not have the function of ultraviolet rays.

"Here, each faction has its own way of defining time. According to the time of Yanhuang Star, there will be two nights and three days within 24 hours."

Su Chaoliu turned off the computer: "You are right, time has no meaning."

So she was too lazy to adjust.

The sky, which was bright ten minutes ago, has now become dark, and it must be night.

"People here probably lack ultraviolet rays," Su Chaoliu changed the subject and sighed compassionately, "It's probably easy for their bodies to have problems."

"You're right," Yan Tieyi nodded in agreement, "so the most popular product on Exile Star is the ultraviolet lamp."

All species will evolve gradually, and perhaps one day the humans on the Exile Planet will evolve to the point where they no longer need ultraviolet rays.

Su Chaoliu looked at the sky which had become completely dark and frowned, because she seemed to see several black lines across the sky.

Yan Tieyi also saw it and said, "It's a strange beast, close the window."

Su Chaoliu was a little surprised: "Are there also strange beasts on the Exile Star?"

"Why not?" Yan Tieyi explained patiently, "Where humans can survive, there must be exotic beasts. After all, humans... can be considered excellent food to some extent."

This may sound a bit cruel, but it is true. However, humans have never been a race that sits still and waits for death. They will fight back within their capabilities.

During their chat, someone knocked on the half-open door, and then Harrison pushed the door open and said, "The boss can see you now, come with me."

Yan Tieyi nodded and whispered to Su Chaoliu, "Don't say anything no matter what happens."

Then he pulled Su Chaoliu's wrist and went out.

After going out, Su Chaoliu looked around calmly.

She had always felt the prying eyes on them. It seemed that the people from Black Stone did not trust them very much and had been hiding in the dark to monitor them.
