Chapter 15 Business Star

He told the base all the process of this mission, especially mentioning the threat of the lizardmen, and then gave the obtained samples and information to the person in charge.

After everyone rested steadily for a few days, Dr. Vincent called them into the conference room.

"Handun's evaluation has been completed. Your next mission is to enter this commercial planet and integrate into the life there. There is no limit to the mission time, but you still need to figure out how to live in this strange environment. , maybe you should learn some means of earning a living. The base can't help you much in this regard. After gaining a firm foothold in Handun, you need to collect all kinds of information on alien civilizations in as much detail as possible, and if possible, provide Provide the materials he needs, and establish a station in Johntown as much as possible.” Vincent put a CD into the projector, and the image immediately appeared on the wall screen, “The key to this task is how to integrate into the You have to think about the life there, and I hope you can complete the task smoothly." He pointed to the image on the screen, "In order to understand the situation in Handun, the base has used explorers, and these images are the situation of the Handun teleportation point. .”

The picture on the curtain is slowly rotating. It should be that the explorer has turned 360° in place. It has captured all the surrounding scenery. It is a vast open-air field. There are rows of neat platforms in the picture, which cannot be seen at a glance. To the side, the air is full of busy aircraft, they will suddenly appear on the platform cargo or people (some are human-like creatures) away.The uninterrupted footage shows that no one paid attention to the explorer, and it continued its work. The platform nearest to the camera was transported three batches of goods within 10 minutes, and then an upright walking creature appeared, with the whole head Including not even a hair on his face, his loose skin is full of wrinkles, and the floor-sweeping clothes are more like pajamas on the earth, which makes him look a bit procrastinated. After 20 seconds of his appearance, his whole body suddenly flashed white, and then disappeared like that. It seems that this is another way of transmission, and it is likely that this is a short-distance transmission. From this busy scene, we can infer the prosperity of Johntown.

The video is only about 15 minutes long. After everyone watched it, Vincent said: "The explorers can stay on the platform for about 20 minutes, and then they will be removed or disposed of. This is obtained after the loss of three explorers." Information." Then he continued with a smile: "Maybe you can get the first two explorers back. It will be a problem for you to keep in touch with the base after you go there. Remember, the base will try to contact the Hanton star every 80 hours after you go there. The coordinates of the transmission are carried out, that is, the space of the two places is replaced, you must find a way to promptly put the carrier of the information on the platform where you are after the transmission is completed. Well, you should prepare today and start tomorrow." After finishing speaking Then he left the conference room on his own.

There is not much content in the image, but there are many questions about the details. The explorer did not capture the city at all in the surrounding shots. This shows that the city may be far away from the teleportation point. If there is no transportation, how to get there will become a problem. It’s useless to think about many things in the base. You can only know when you get there. The language problem that was the most troublesome in the past does not exist now. Taylor’s translator can translate most of the common languages ​​​​in the universe.Everyone discussed for a while and left the conference room.

Through the transmission device of the base, everyone came to the commercial star Johntown. The vastness felt at the teleportation point of the Johntown star is far from what you can experience by looking at the images on the screen. Only when you stand here can you feel how big it is, black Rows of stone platforms extend as far as the eye can't see. The aircraft in the sky come and go in a busy and orderly manner. Compared with the busyness of the airports in the cities of the earth, they are almost like rural areas.The aircraft here is very different from those produced on Earth. It does not have the fixed wings of the Earth-style aircraft, nor the rotary wings of a helicopter. Judging by its light hovering and high-speed movement, it does not make a lot of noise, nor does it There is no blowing airflow, everything shows that this kind of aircraft does not rely on the buoyancy of the airflow to fly. "If there is a chance, we must bring one back to Earth." Zhou Tianhao said enviously, seeing these aircrafts flying freely in the air.After all, I have to consider how to leave here first, and then I can consider other issues when I arrive in the city.

The traffic problem that worried everyone did not appear. Less than a minute after they appeared, an aircraft flew over their heads. The translator accurately translated the electronic language emitted by the aircraft, "Welcome to Tino City For your visit, Tino City will provide free pick-up service, please get on the floating car." Everyone who was worrying about how to leave here was relieved at once, and the arrival of this floating car was undoubtedly their savior.

"I only know that the large supermarkets in our area have free cars to attract business, but I didn't expect that the city here arranges free transportation for soliciting customers. Let's try unmanned driving." Zhou Tianhao said with a smile and started Floating car, everyone also got on the car.

With the door closed, the floating car suddenly rose into the air, and everyone felt a slight swelling of the eardrums when riding a high-speed elevator. This feeling disappeared when the floating car was driving at high speed, and the floating car was running very smoothly. , the facilities in the car are mediocre, at the level of ordinary taxis on the earth. Of course, the seat fabric is not chemical fiber fabric, but an unknown high molecular polymer. It feels as soft as sheepskin, and it looks very difficult to stick swag.

After studying the interior of the floating car, Zhou Tianhao began to look at the scenery outside the window. He asked casually, "I don't know if Tino City is far away? How long will it take to fly?"

The few people in the car didn't know these two questions, and Zhou Tianhao didn't expect them to be able to answer them. He just wanted to talk casually, but what he didn't expect was that the electronic speaker in the car sounded, "At present, we are still far away from Tino City. There are 820 kilometers, and it will take 81 minutes to arrive at the current speed." The translator will automatically convert some units when translating, which is very convenient for users to understand.

After hearing the answer, everyone was surprised, "Is this the computer in the car? It can answer random questions, and already has a certain level of intelligence." Susanna said while looking for the computer that could answer the questions.

"I'm a Type [-] vehicle-mounted optical brain. I don't have intelligence, only a part of fuzzy judgment ability." The translator translated the optical brain's answer.

Sun Xiang became interested. During the time on the road, he could learn about the situation of Tino City and the entire planet of Handun, which will be very beneficial for future missions. "Can you tell us about the situation of Tino City and the planet Handun?"

"Handun's planetary ocean area accounts for 55% of the total surface area, and the land area accounts for 45%. The surface environment is mild and suitable for the survival of most carbon-based life forms. The permanent population is 15 million. There are no indigenous residents in Handun, and it does not belong to any civilization. It is a planet set up for purely commercial activities. All the cities on the planet are established with funds obtained from tax revenue in commercial activities. Currently, a total of 40 cities have been established. In addition to having a large public transmission field, Johntown In addition, there are three large space ports. Tino City is one of the fifteen cities in Johntown. The merchants in and out of the city account for [-]% of the total population. The exchange of goods is fast, convenient and safe." Optical Brain introduced the local situation.

Everyone asked their own questions to the optical computer, but the optical computer cannot answer all the questions. After all, it is just a vehicle-mounted optical computer, and its authority and database are very limited.The time on this road is very important to the team members. Everyone has gone from knowing nothing about this planet to having a general understanding of the situation here. Speaking of which, I really want to thank the optical brain in this car.

During the more than 80-minute journey, everyone’s questions never stopped. It was not until the optical brain reminded that they were about to stop at the destination. At this time, everyone realized that a huge ultra-modern city appeared at the feet of everyone. From the sky, it looked like a scene from those sci-fi movies. Isn't the three-dimensional traffic the scene we see now?The floats on which everyone was sitting passed through the waists of towering high-rise buildings. There were layered air passages, and there were various well-ordered floats on the front, back, left, and right.The floating car everyone is sitting on is still very high from the ground, and there are still several floors of air passages between the ground and the ground.When everyone was dazzled, the electronic sound of the optical brain sounded again, "The central square is coming soon, where do you want me to send you? If there is no specific target, I will drop you off at the central square. In the future, if you want to go back to the public transmission field, You can also summon us in the central square, and we will send you back to the teleportation field for free."

"Let's get off at the central square!" Sun Xiang, who had nowhere to go, could only say so.

(In the future, when communicating with humans on other planets, the language will be translated by a translator, without special instructions)
