Chapter 740 Dead Sea
After three days of repairs, the Manta finally looked brand new. On the premise of ensuring that the structural strength remained unchanged, some minor changes were made.
For example, Li Chengxi asked Fang Lanyin to increase the sensitivity of the rudder, reset the recording radar power, increase the detection range at the cost of reducing accuracy, and replace it with a larger fuel tank.
These minor changes can only be regarded as trying to improve the operating feel and endurance. According to Li Chengxi's habit of adjustments, the combat power of the Manta has been improved, but that's it. If you want to improve it significantly, it is more appropriate to directly change the machine.
If there is any difference in appearance from before, it is that Li Chengxi specifically requested that the Manta be painted red.
Alyssa was puzzled by this. Let's be reasonable. When flying in the void, many people will paint themselves black or black-gray to blend into the void background.
You are too conspicuous in red.
Li Chengxi told her that since ancient times, red has triple speed, which made Alyssa confused...
Anyway, the paint is just a small matter. As long as the distance is wide, any color will not be too conspicuous in the void.
The engine started again after a long absence, and accompanied by the buzzing sound of operation, the Manta Ray took off vertically.
Alyssa stood up from her seat and said goodbye to Fenghua and Fang Bin, who were waving below in the cockpit. She didn't sit down until the Manta Ray accelerated straight and entered the void.
"Set the jump route. Our next stop will not be as easy as Alan Star Chain."
"Where to go?"
"I sent you the coordinates."
If you want to jump, you have to drive out of the range of Alan Star Chain first.
Li Chengxi glanced at the star map:
"It's a bit far this time. It may not be reached even if you jump twice."
"You can't jump casually. You will pass through the Dead Sea."
The so-called Dead Sea is not a real ocean, but a special airspace.
It is impossible to jump in this airspace. If the starship's jump route passes through the Dead Sea, it will be forced to terminate at the edge of the Dead Sea.
The seemingly lifeless void is actually very busy. A large number of ships are either jumping or pulse flying. The most commonly used long-distance travel mode does not work in the Dead Sea. There are no galaxies in this airspace. It is like a specially hollowed-out area, so this area is called the Dead Sea.
The distance is already very far, and it will be even farther if you take a detour.
Alyssa is also looking at the star map, looking for a way to avoid the Dead Sea.
But at this time she suddenly said:
"Why are you talking a little unclear? Is there something wrong with the sound system?"
"No, it may be related to the chicken sandwich I am eating."
"Chicken. Sandwich?"
Alyssa turned the driver's chair and looked back at the corridor leading to the living area from the cockpit. One of the seats there was put down, and Fang Lanyin was sitting on it, also eating a chicken sandwich.
"Boss, do you want to try it? I prepared two days' worth."
She picked up a basket filled with convenient foods such as sandwiches.
"Alan Starlink's agricultural products are very famous. I heard that it's not easy to eat these natural foods in other places."
Alyssa held her forehead when she saw this:
"No, wait a minute, how did he eat the sandwich?"
"Brother Li said he wanted to try it, so I put a sandwich on the main control panel. It's incredible that he can really eat it."
Although there are restrictions on putting things into the screen from Li Chengxi's side, there are no restrictions on taking things out of the screen.
"Brother Li, when did you get so familiar with each other... Forget it, I have a headache."
Although no navigator was found on this trip to Alan Starlink, the position of mechanic was available.
Alyssa is currently very short of manpower, and from the repair situation of the Manta Ray, it can be seen that Fang Lanyin's level is indeed good, so the cat girl joined the team.

Da Yongli
1155, late June.
When Li Chengxi was happily driving the Manta Ray around, the passenger ship that Yang Yiyi was riding on also docked at a small town.
It's not that we have reached Qi Jue Gate, but we have to change boats here.
You can reach Qi Jue Gate by boat from Tan River to the north, and the river here has forked, one heading north and the other heading northeast.
If you want to go to Qi Jue Gate, you have to take a boat heading northeast. The boat they are currently on will go north, so they can only get off and change.
After squatting on the boat for more than ten days, Yang Yiyi felt that her bones were almost rusty. After getting off the boat, she couldn't help but stretch her waist and heard the joints of her body creaking gently.
"This town looks prosperous, but there seem to be many beggars."
Wu Shaoyi sat in a wheelchair, looked at the dock and said:
"I heard that the state-owned area of Yuezhou was hit by a disaster before, and it seems to be true."
Yang Yiyi also heard about this matter. She mentioned it when she helped the Wen Qing family in Sicheng solve the homicide case a year ago. (See Chapter 356 for details)
At that time, I thought it was just an excuse and didn't pay much attention to it. Today, when I saw a small town in Yuezhou and saw a large number of beggars, I knew it was true.
"I have heard about it. It is said that there was a drought in Quzhou, followed by a locust plague. The fields could not produce food, and many people fled."
Zhou Wenyi, who walked with him, stroked his long beard and said:
"But from my understanding of the current Yuezhou Emperor, he is a wise king and will not leave the victims alone. When I was investigating the incident in Southern Xinjiang, I heard that many people from Quzhou who had fled had returned. It should be that the court issued relief grain."
For the kings of the feudal era, disaster relief was the top priority. When people were hungry, they had no moral bottom line and could do anything to survive.
In addition to the impact on society, once someone said "Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different races" a rebellion was not impossible.
The emperor of Yuezhou was not stupid and knew that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
Yang Yiyi did not pay much attention to this topic. Disaster relief was the business of the court, and a few people in the martial arts world could not do anything.
At this time, an eagle cried overhead, and Yang Yiyi looked up and waved to the eagle in the sky.
"Babao! Come here!"
It swooped down very obediently and landed gently on Yang Yiyi's arm.
This was the messenger eagle of Tianjue Palace. When they separated before, Ning Xian'er specifically asked this eagle named "Babao" to remember Yang Yiyi for easy contact.
Although Yang Yiyi also felt that it was a bit strange for an eagle to be called Babao...
Although Yang Yiyi was the one who went to rescue Ning Xianer on this trip to southern Xinjiang, Ning Xianer was also very worried about Yang Yiyi. Basically, she would ask Babao to send a letter every three days, either asking where Yang Yiyi was or asking if Yang Yiyi had encountered thieves or something like that.
From a certain perspective, this matter of sending a letter was also of great importance.
Yang Yiyi took out the pork jerky given by Li Chengxi from her arms and handed it to Babao, and took a small letter barrel from its feet.
Just as she was about to open it, Zhou Wenyi said:
"There are many people here, so it's better for my nephew not to be too ostentatious."
That's right, the eagle flew down and attracted a lot of people's attention. The fewer people who knew about Yang Yiyi helping Ning Xianer send a letter, the better.
