Chapter 678: This Stage Is a Bit HugeTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Deca"s s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was very fast. After just a short while, they had entered s.p.a.ce.
There were three gigantic stars.h.i.+ps parked in s.p.a.ce. Once Deca"s s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p arrived, the outer hatch of one of the stars.h.i.+ps opened and the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p quickly went in, and the hatch closed.
Hong Dali"s journey in the Universe had thus started.
Inside the stars.h.i.+p.
Hong Dali sat on the sofa while Deca"s father Graham smiled and said, “Young Master Dali, after we arrived at the Milky Way Alliance, we still need to keep a low profile. Especially the Dali Beans, you mustn"t easily give them to others as rewards or tips.” Graham had obtained quite a lot from this trip to Earth.
There was quite a lot of valuable small stuff in Invincible East"s inheritance. To maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with them, the mysterious man gave them another 500 Dali Beans too—that alone was worth five million Galaxy Dollars. Overall speaking, Graham earned about ten million or so from this trip, this was much more than he had expected. Therefore, towards this kind of G.o.d of Fortune, they naturally had to maintain a close relations.h.i.+p with him.
“Yup, I understand.” Hong Dali wasn"t a fool, after all. “I will try my best to keep a low profile, try my best.”
“Try your best…” Tang Muxin twitched her lips. “My foot!”
“Currently, we have exited the s.p.a.ce territory that belongs to Earth.” Graham looked outside the window and said, “Everyone, get ready. The s.p.a.ce oscillation is about to start.”
Very quickly, the three stars.h.i.+ps activated their defense dome and the sound of the engines started roaring. Then, the sound of the countdown for the s.p.a.ce oscillation sounded inside the stars.h.i.+p.
“10!”
“9!”
“8!”
“7!”
Hong Dali looked outside. He couldn"t see anything now, only the purple defense dome. Also, it started to change its color to black too.
“So this is s.p.a.ce oscillation.” Hong Dali laughed and said.
“3… 2… 1!”
In s.p.a.ce, the s.p.a.ce around the three stars.h.i.+ps started to distort, fold, extend, then became a small dot and eventually disappeared.
BOOM!
Hong Dali felt the stars.h.i.+p violently trembled. Then, everyone"s expression seemed to be a bit uncomfortable. At the same time, the sound of the System sounded in his mind—
“The gravity has changed, adjusting the Host"s condition.”
“Adjustments completed, the Host"s current conditions: Strength 100, Agility 100, Reflexes 100.”
Yup, as expected, my stats are fixed at 100. However, I seem to feel a bit different now…
Hong Dali looked around and quickly understood—his stats were fixed at 100 no matter what kind of environment he was in. Which means to say that on Earth, with Earth"s gravity, his stats were at 100. But in the Universe, the gravity for different planets was all different too, but his stats would be that current planet"s 100 attribute points.
This means to say that even if the gravitational force was 10,000 times that of Earth, when other people might be crushed to death, Hong Dali would still be alive and jumping…
Wasn"t that awesome!?
Inside the stars.h.i.+p.
“Dali.” Seeing that Hong Dali didn"t have any reaction at all, Deca asked in surprise, “This is s.p.a.ce oscillation, didn"t you feel uncomfortable at all?”
“I didn"t.” Hong Dali grinned and said, “I feel the same as just now.”
“What the heck, people and people indeed can"t be compared with one another.” Deca expressed that he was very hurt. “You are so vigorous even during s.p.a.ce-traveling. If it was someone else…” Saying so, he looked at Lucifer who was vomiting at the side. “Their reaction would basically be like that…”
Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei"s health attribute was at 100, so they were lucky enough to be able to maintain their image…
The trembling lasted for about an hour, after which the defense domes were retracted and the stars.h.i.+p started to stabilize.
“s.p.a.ce Oscillation successful, we are in the center of the Milky Way now.” Invincible East"s AI butler, Tang Long"s image appeared in the center of the stars.h.i.+p and said, “We are currently 836,000,000 kilometers away from the center of the Milky Way Alliance. Quite lucky.”
Before they boarded, Tang Long had requested to gain control of the operating system of the three stars.h.i.+ps. After all, being Hong Dali"s AI butler, he naturally had to be responsible for his safety—therefore, there was no safer way than to directly gain control of the stars.h.i.+ps.
“Oh, I see.” Hong Dali was always insensitive to numbers. “How long do we need to get there?”
“According to a speed of 30,000 kilometers per second, we need roughly 465 minutes, which is seven hours and 40 minutes.” Tang Long smiled and said, “That"s why I said that we are quite lucky.”
“So fast!” Everyone from Earth was astonished!
Counting in the time for s.p.a.ce oscillation, they only needed less than nine hours to travel from Earth to the center of the Milky Way!? In that case, it wasn"t a problem for them to return home once a week! Of course, money was the biggest problem…
“This is because we are lucky.” Graham smiled and said, “If we are unlucky, I reckon we would have to add a few more zeros to the distance. It would be normal to need to travel for a month or two also.”
“Oh…” Hong Dali patted his chest. “Lucky, lucky.” Luckily that didn"t happen. If not, Hong Dali would have to waste all of his mission"s time traveling. By the time they reached the planet of the Milky Way Alliance, he would probably have become a pighead…
Nine hours wasn"t too long a time, but it wasn"t short either. After Hong Dali took two naps…
“We will be arriving at the planet at the center of Milky Way—Silver-blue super-planet, in 30 minutes,” Tang Long said.
“Ah? We are reaching there so soon?” Hong Dali climbed up from Li Nianwei"s legs in a daze and said, “Are we able to see what this Silver-blue super-planet is like?”
“Yes, you can.” Tang Long nodded. “Activate the exterior holographic projection.”
Very quickly, the holographic projection of the Silver-blue super-planet appeared in the center of the stars.h.i.+p. Tang Long explained, “The Silver-blue super-planet has a diameter of 35 million kilometers, 25.28 times that of the diameter of the Sun.”
Hearing this, Hong Dali instantly touched his nose—a super huge planet that had a diameter 25.28 times that of the Sun. Indeed, anything on a universal level would be extremely different!
The floor at the center of the stars.h.i.+p slowly appeared a super huge planet.
On the outer appearance of this planet were rays like the aurora on Earth. Outside this planet were three planets much smaller revolving around it; those should be the satellite-planets of this Silver-blue super-planet.
“This planet is the planet at the center of the Milky Way Alliance, Silver-blue super-planet. “Tang Long started to introduce the various statistics of this planet. “Using Earth as a reference, the gravitational force here is 1.14 times that of Earth. The ratio of oxygen in the atmosphere is slightly higher than that of Earth too, occupying about 35% of the air here. On the planet, a large part of it is lakes and the ocean, occupying 86.3% of it. The landma.s.s only occupies 13.6% of the planet. According to the distribution of the corresponding areas in the Milky Way, the five major lakes are named East Milky Way Lake, South Milky Way Lake, West Milky Way Lake, North Milky Way Lake, and Center Milky Way Lake. The area of East Milky Way Lake is about 719,300,000 million square kilometers, of which the land area is 104,624,800 million square kilometers.”
At first, Hong Dali still could understand what he was saying. But once he talked about numbers, Hong Dali instantly blinked his eyes…
104,624,800 million square kilometers…
Hong Dali decisively took out a calculator and after some time, he said in shock, “About 11 million times the land area occupied by Heavenly State!?”
Tang Muxin: “…”
Li Nianwei: “…”
Ling Xiaoyi: “…”
“To be exact, it"s 10,898,416 times the Heavenly State"s area.” Tang Long smiled and said, “How is it, isn"t it very huge?”
This isn"t just huge, this is practically limitless, OK!?
“Alright, this stage is a bit huge,” Hong Dali thus said.
Now that they were clear of the basic situation, they also had the money and people, all they had to do now was wait for landing.
With the stars.h.i.+ps exterior holographic projection, they looked at the image and could clearly see that they were getting closer and closer, almost reaching its atmosphere. Because this Silver-blue super-planet was very very huge, they could also see all kinds of different images; it was extremely gorgeous and beautiful. They could see all kinds of beautiful colors flowing on the planet like they were liquid state rainbows.
“Yup, I have received the guiding signal from the planet.” Tang Long said, “We will be landing shortly, our destination is East Milky Way lake"s Dana Stars.h.i.+p Harbor.” Saying so, he made a joke. “Don"t be scared till your pants drop later, kid.”
“Yup, don"t worry.” Hong Dali replied, “I have tied my pants tight…”
Arriving on a planet, especially such a super planet like this, the stars.h.i.+p definitely wasn"t allowed to fly randomly around and had to enter the harbor and park there. If not, there would be numerous stars.h.i.+ps flying all around. What if they scared small children because of that? Even if they didn"t scare small children, it wouldn"t be a good thing if they scared the plants and flowers too…
Very quickly, the stars.h.i.+p trembled for a bit as it entered the atmosphere.
Through the holographic projection, they could see a super huge silver city in front of them. This was a very specular port city with all kinds of different s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps parked in the harbor. Just a casual look and they could already see that they were at least three to four thousand s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps there. Tang Long pointed at s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that looked like the size of a peanut from their view and said, “This is a level three stars.h.i.+p, it"s full length is 36 kilometers.”
A stars.h.i.+p that was 36 kilometers long, only looked as big as a peanut here!
Then, the size of this harbor that looked about 50 plus meters long from their view…
Instantly, it seemed very awesome and impressive now, didn"t it? Hong Dali felt that it wasn"t a wonder why Earth couldn"t contain him anymore. It was because he didn"t have enough s.p.a.ce to squander there!
Brouhaha!
“Simply speaking, the outer area here is the harbor for parking large-sized s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps.” Tang Long continued to introduce to Hong Dali. “Here, it"s mostly robots that are transporting the goods, so there"s nothing much to see. Only deeper in is the place where humans gather. Oh right, speaking of this, Young Master, where do you plan to stay first?”
Huh? Stay where? Speaking of which, this is indeed a problem.
This is akin to choosing a base, I must think of this properly.
“Hm, how about staying here?” After thinking for a long while, Hong Dali asked, “Port cities all seem to be quite prosperous…”
