Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 133: Chapter 99: [Torch Warship Boarding Certificate]_2

The old man's silence naturally indicated that the black bracelet had not been tampered with.

Nevertheless, Song Chi still didn't feel completely at ease. Whether the bracelet had been tampered with or not, he planned to later deposit it into the Ruins Market.

The Ruins Market existed in the Void Space, so even if someone had tinkered with the bracelet, there was a high probability that any tampering would be blocked. Moreover, it was unlikely that anyone would venture into the gaps filled with Void Gangwind and Void Storms just to verify its location, right?

About the [Brainwave Remote Control System] component he held in his hand, Song Mingsong only took a brief glance initially and didn't ask any further questions.

Ever since his grandma Bai Xiuqin's grand birthday celebration, when Song Chi revealed the Intermediate Energy Crystal and by his own strength advanced the Seed of Torch to White, the elders at home realized that Song Chi must have had some special encounters.

Therefore, seeing Song Chi possessing an unheard-of Purple Component did not surprise Song Mingsong at all.

Without saying much more, he summoned the Cangqiong, reinstalled the Brainwave Remote Control System, enhanced it to lv20, and then made another trip to the Ruins Market, placing the black communication bracelet into a sealed storage room within.

Having taken care of these matters, the two warships, one large and one small, soared into the sky and soon disappeared into the starry space surrounding the Wide Yuan Floating Land.

Even without any women to clear the path, no other warship dared to follow them this time. It was a joke to even think about it—they weren't blind. A kilometer-sized craft was a Cruiser, after all. Who in their right mind would fancy their chances against a Cruiser?

...

White Tower Floating Land, Jiangyuan City.

Since returning from the Wide Yuan Floating Land yesterday, Song Chi had begun to frequent various Blaze Markets across the White Tower Floating Land.

He and his father were set to depart today for the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves. According to his father, once they were on their way, they wouldn't be able to return for at least three months. Therefore, Song Chi needed to prepare all the goods for the next three trades in the Ruins Market.

After all, who knew if there would be any place to resupply once they reached the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves?

He had already bought some of the merchandise at the Wide Yuan Floating Land, and after visiting several Blaze Markets back at the White Tower Floating Land, by this morning, Song Chi had finally managed to purchase almost all the planned merchandise.

On the outskirts of Jiangyuan City, Song Chao and Song Chi arrived to find Song Lin already waiting for them. Besides Song Lin, Song You was also there, unexpectedly.

After a brief moment of surprise, Song Chi understood. Song You had awakened his abilities at the same time as him, and by now, had gone through six rounds of Alien Star Domain exploration. His warship likely had already upgraded to a Spectral Airship.

Song Chao didn't say anything, but from the slight upward curve of his lips, it was clear that he was very pleased with the speed at which the younger generation of the family was advancing. After all, it also meant that the future of the family was secure.

"Alright, there's no need for you to summon your warships. Just come aboard!"

With that, a Ghost Light flickered between his brows, and the Qingkong was summoned forth.

Ten seconds later, the Qingkong ascended rapidly, piercing through the clouds of the Floating Land and vanishing above the Floating Land.

Why all three of them needed to board the Qingkong is a story that begins with Song Chi's status at this very moment.

Once aboard the Qingkong, the three of them saw a ring of special fluorescence that tightly encircled them. Under the effect of this fluorescence, they all furrowed their brows, clearly feeling the circulation of Spectral Energy within their bodies become incredibly difficult.

It wasn't just about cultivating the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique; they couldn't even circulate the Spectral Energy within their bodies for basic operations.

Moreover, a cool sensation transmitted from their foreheads one by one. No matter how hard they tried to sense the Seed of Torch in the Ancestral Aperture, they received no response whatsoever.

Looking inside the main control room of the Qingkong, since Song Chi and the other two had boarded the warship, Song Chao didn't hear any notification about the deduction of Floating Land Origin.

The reason for this was due to a special component installed on board the Qingkong.

Torch Warship Boarding Certificate lv10

Quality: Blue

Consumption: 50/Person (Spectral Points)

Capacity: 3/300

Effect: Seals the energy within the bodies of the transported (24 hours), lifts the restriction on the consumption of Floating Land Origin within the capacity range.

UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, 1500 Spectral Points.

This type of component is very common throughout the Torch Human Civilization Territory, but due to its limitation of sealing bodily energy for 24 hours, most Torch Ship Captains seldom use it, only resorting to it when in a hurry to travel or escape.

After all, for a Torch Ship Captain, sealing bodily energy means sealing Spectral Energy, and without the ability to mobilize Spectral Energy, one cannot open the Ancestral Aperture at the brow, nor summon one's own Torch Warship, which feels very insecure.

(PS: I see many readers are puzzled as to why I set up the rule that Torch Warships cannot carry people, so let me explain it here. The reason for this setting is to limit the high-rank Torch Ship Captains from unrestrictedly transporting low-rank Torch Ship Captains for Alien Star Domain exploration.

Just think about it, if thousands of low-rank Torch Ship Captains were brought along for every monthly Alien Star Domain exploration, what would that entail?

Forget the increased danger, the same goes for real-world domains, if there were no such restriction, then the cost for each large-scale interstellar expedition launched by Torch Human Civilization would be too low, right? The setting of being unable to summon warships for combat within 24 hours is the same, increasing the danger of interstellar expeditions.

Once an encounter with an Alien Race occurs during the seal period, it's death for many, making each interstellar expedition require extreme caution.)

(I don't know if you all can accept this, but that was indeed my original setting!!)

...

Inside the cabin, after a brief discomfort, Song Chi and the two others quickly recovered. They had seen components like the Torch Warship Boarding Certificate in previous courses and knew that this was a normal reaction. They just needed to disembark, wait another 24 hours, and everything would return to normal.

Before long, a strong sense of weightlessness hit them as Qingkong began a Spatial Jump.

In the middle of the three, Song Chi's mind stirred, and he murmured to himself.

"It seems that the Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair isn't close to the White Tower Floating Land!"

The reason for this thought was because he could feel that the loss of gravity Qingkong was experiencing during the Spatial Jump was significantly stronger than that of the Purple River Translocation Device, meaning that Qingkong's current jump was far beyond 40 light-years.

Furthermore, after one jump, the journey was not over, as Qingkong had to wait for the second jump.

...

Chaotic Star Field, Sector 0155.

Located at the edge of the Chaotic Star Field, Sector 0155 is known as a barren area.

It is said that thousands of years ago, it was the core Star Domain controlled by a medium-sized civilization group; however, it got heavily bombarded by numerous spatial collapse bombs during the first great expedition of Chenxing and has since then become riddled with dense spatial rifts, engulfing the small asteroids and Starry Sea Floating Lands within this Star Domain.

The prevalence of collapsing spaces filled the sector with innumerable spatial rifts, which continued to spread over time, raising the danger of the sector to an extreme. Coupled with the successive disappearance of small asteroids and Starry Sea Floating Lands, the sector became increasingly barren.

With both factors combined, the sector has seen less and less traffic over the past thousand years, becoming a place no living creature wants to visit, bereft of any resources and filled with danger.

In a remote area on the edge of Sector 0155, a powerful spatial fluctuation occurred, and Qingkong emerged from a space vortex.

Looking out of the airship's cabin window and sweeping their gaze across the outer starry space, Song Lin was the first among the three to recognize the Star Domain.

"This is Sector 0155 on the edge of the Chaotic Star Field. I remember that this is where the Moruo Civilization had their decisive battle with our duchy's expeditionary force, right? Could it be that the Blood Blade Star Thieves have established their lair here?"
