Chapter 798 Black Hand Port
As the white light in the bridge faded, everyone put down their hands to block the light and saw a star emitting intense blue-white light appear in front of them.
Li Chengxi, who had just arrived at the place, was shocked when he saw this.
Could that thing be a white dwarf?
Li Chengxi didn't know much about astronomy. He only remembered that when he was a child, he saw the demonstration CG used in the popular science channel and said that white dwarfs were this color.
A white dwarf is a star at the end of its life cycle. It collapses inward and then explodes into a neutron star.
If it explodes completely and blows up very cleanly, it will be completely gone. If the super-massive core is left, it is likely to become a black hole.
The power of this thing is enough to destroy the entire star system. No wonder Li Chengxi was shocked.
However, when Li Chengxi took out his mobile phone and searched, he found that not all stars with blue-white light are white dwarfs. This is like the flame color reaction. It mainly depends on the composition of the star.
At this time, Alyssa pulled out a data cable from the main control terminal of the bridge, then lifted her hair and inserted it into the implant interface on her head.
——This operation looks very cyberpunk.
"The star map has been updated, and you can navigate according to the position I sent you."
The star map of the Storm Kingdom is not as detailed and comprehensive as Alyssa's star map. As a recycler, Alyssa dare not say that she has traveled to every corner, but she knows this void better than the Storm Kingdom, which has been staying at home all its life and guarding against everyone.
The Swan then started the pulse flight and crossed half of the star system. When it exited the pulse flight, a planet that had been split into two halves appeared outside the bridge.
I don't know what this planet has encountered. It is like an apple that has been broken open, floating quietly in orbit and rotating around the star. The core of the earth has long been cooled, and the atmosphere has long been clean. Now it looks like a bare stone ball. It is estimated that its final fate is likely to fall into a star.
The Swan pulled up its bow and flew over the broken planet. At this time, it happened to see the light of the star covering one side of the broken planet. There might still be a lot of ice or water underground. After losing the protection of the atmosphere, the scorching sun quickly heated the surface of the planet. The water hidden in the rock was equivalent to being boiled by microwaves. Countless water vapor broke through the rock layer, like countless fountains, some of which could even spray into the near-earth orbit.
And these water vapors were cooled again at the moment of entering the void, turning into countless ice flowers. The Swan flew through the ice flowers as if it had done a water vapor maintenance.
To be honest, it was really romantic.
Going around the broken planet, you can see a spinning colony satellite going forward. The shape is similar to that of the guest star city. The huge solar panel is fully opened, like a blooming cosmic flower.
"This is Black Hand Port, the only place within the nearby fifty yar that can provide ship repair services, and it never talks too much."
Alyssa explained to others and sent a request to enter the port.
"Why is it called Black Hand Port?"
It can't be that the people here are particularly evil, right?
"Because the builders here were originally a group of miners."
It really is a black hand in the literal sense.
Coal mining, right?
I always feel that there is something wrong with their naming rules for colony satellites, which are too simple and straightforward.
Black Hand Port quickly sent a signal to allow entry and gave route guidance.
Although the Swan is a warship, it actually has no combat capability. If it really encounters pirates, it can only rely on Li Chengxi to drive the Manta Ray out to fight.
Due to the existence of Li Chengxi, the jump function of the Swan is unlocked, but the weapon system is welded, physically locked, and there are no physical shells.
In order to paralyze the Storm Kingdom authorities, Vilania did not bring any supplies to the Swan, including necessities such as food and drinking water. Before the Swan ran to chase the starship, it had to solve this problem first.
The reason why they didn't resupply at the previous space station was, on the one hand, because the space station didn't have enough goods and the types of military supplies were not enough, and on the other hand, because it was cheaper here in Black Hand Port.
Alyssa's savings are really low now.
–--——---——
The Swan slowly parked in the berth, fixed its position with the help of the mechanical arm, and Li Chengxi turned off the engine, and it was completely stopped.
As soon as the Swan entered the port, a large group of people surrounded it, especially when Alyssa and the others opened the hatch and came out, the crowd became more excited.
"Don't pay attention to them, don't talk to them, these people are here to sell goods."
Alyssa instructed, and then deliberately put on a cold expression, motioning everyone to follow her.
The group of people gathered next to the Swan can be said to do everything, such as polishing and waxing the hull, selling snacks, smuggling arms to ensure your satisfaction, and providing certain special services, regardless of gender...
Black Hand Port is a very niche port, generally only recyclers like Alyssa and old drivers who have been in the interstellar transportation industry for a long time know about it.
This is like whether a roadside shop is good or not. You just need to see how many taxi drivers there are. The principle is the same. Black Hand Port is equivalent to a roadside stall. It is not high-end, but it is really cheap and affordable.
It is precisely because there are not many people coming here that these people gather at the port to grab customers. As soon as someone comes, they will go up and enthusiastically promote.
Alyssa knows how to deal with these people, that is, ignore them.
No matter what they say, don't listen, don't look, don't stay, and don't even show any expression to them, otherwise you will be entangled all day long.
Alyssa is obviously familiar with this place. She led everyone through the crowd of salespeople and turned left and right in the port.
Sometimes she got on the elevator, and sometimes she dragged the rolling handle to run around. People were dizzy. I'm afraid that others would get lost if they went back the same way.
Until she led everyone to a huge factory building, they could see two cruise ships placed in the empty space in the factory building. Many people were busy going up and down. As for the smaller patrol boats or shuttles, they were spread all over the floor. This is because the port is a zero-gravity environment, and the parking of ships can be more three-dimensional, otherwise this factory building can't accommodate them.
A shipyard with real technical skills has no shortage of orders. Most of those salespeople outside are not very good. Alyssa came directly to find reliable ones.
"Isn't this Miss Alyssa, looking for Father Rope?"
As soon as she came in, someone greeted Alyssa, and she smiled and said:
"Yes, where is Father?"
"Over there, by the filter net, you have to be careful, Father has been in a bad mood these two days, there are a few new apprentices..."
The man gestured, although he didn't explain it clearly, but Alyssa already understood.
Teaching apprentices has raised blood pressure.
