Chapter 353, Space Port in the Interstellar Era
The Kuiper Belt region of the Centaurus Galaxy leading to the solar system, because of the connection of the space-time ocean current, all the spacecraft must pass through here. In addition, for the safety of its own capital galaxy, the Empire has built a huge space port group at the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current.
This huge space port group is distributed around the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current, and there are countless space fortresses surrounding the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current. Each space fortress is a powerful war weapon. As long as there is an invasion of foreign enemies here, they can launch a powerful attack on the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current in a short time, completely blocking the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current, thereby ensuring the safety of the capital galaxy of the empire.
In addition, in the surrounding space port group, the empire's most powerful army, the Imperial Royal Legion, is stationed. There are space battleships patrolling in the surrounding void at all times, guarding the safety of the capital galaxy of the empire at all times.
The Empire has always spared no expense in protecting the safety of the capital system. Not only the entrances to the solar system, but also the entrances to the space-time ocean currents such as the Hercules, Eridanus, and Aquila are heavily guarded, and no one dares to be careless.
The entrances to the space-time ocean currents should have been a dark, gloomy, and cold world, but because of this huge group of space ports and fortresses, it has become brightly lit and bustling with spaceships coming and going.
In addition to guarding the capital system, these huge space ports are actually more of a service role, providing services for spaceships traveling to and from the solar system and spaceships coming to the Kuiper belt to mine asteroids, so slowly it has become a very important commercial trade area.
Because interstellar trade is basically commodity trade, and small commodity trade is not even enough to cover the interstellar transportation costs, so if you trade here, you can save a lot of trouble. You only need to transport the goods here, then exchange them for the imperial currency, and then purchase the specialties of the Centauri galaxy from here, and you can quickly return to the solar system, saving a lot of trouble and saving time.
Of course, another important reason is to ensure the safety of the imperial capital star. All goods and spacecraft must be parked here and subject to inspection by the imperial security department. Not everything can be transported directly to the life planet of the Centauri galaxy.
All these factors combined together gradually formed the prosperity here. Interstellar merchants, interstellar adventurers, interstellar travelers, and other people who make a living from the interstellar universe gathered here.
People from all galaxies in the empire, people from China in the solar system, and people from all the original member states of the Earth Federation...
At the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current, a spaceship slowly flew out from the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current. The two Chinese characters "Jiuzhou" on the spaceship looked a little mottled, and the traces on the spaceship were telling the long history and old age of this spaceship.
The "Jiuzhou" spaceship has a history even longer than that of the Yanhuang Empire. After decades, it is still constantly traveling back and forth between the Centaurus Galaxy and the Solar System. People who often travel between the two galaxies have basically taken this old spaceship.
Unlike the new spaceships of the empire that travel to and from other galaxies, this old spaceship is already very backward in terms of speed, comfort, etc. However, this spaceship is still guaranteed in terms of safety, etc., so it has always been reluctant to eliminate it. After all, the cost of building a spaceship is also very high. As long as it is still safe, it will naturally continue to be used.
"Finally arrived at the Centaurus Galaxy!"
Inside the "Kyushu" spacecraft, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Yagyu looked at the extremely busy void outside and breathed a sigh of relief. The journey from the Kitagawa Galaxy to the Centaurus Galaxy of the Empire is quite far and very time-consuming.
First, we have to go from the Kitagawa Galaxy to the Canis Minor Galaxy, then from the Canis Minor Galaxy to the solar system, and finally from the solar system to the Centaurus Galaxy. In the meantime, the spacecraft must be transferred several times, and the spacecraft on these routes is naturally impossible to be the latest spacecraft installed with time and space ocean current sails in the Yanhuang Empire. The speed can be imagined.
It took Junichiro Yagyu more than eight years to reach the Centaurus Galaxy from the Kitagawa Galaxy, so as soon as he arrived here, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Interstellar travel is really not an easy thing.
"8 years, 6 months and 23 days, we finally arrived at the Centaurus Galaxy."
Junichiro Yagyu's assistant Momohara Tsukasa looked at the time and reported it lightly.
"I heard that the Yanhuang Empire has a brand new spaceship that can pass through the space-time ocean currents in a very short time. It is estimated that it will only take a few months to reach the Beichuan Galaxy from the Centaurus Galaxy."
When Junichiro Yagyu heard this, his eyes lit up. Only after traveling in the universe can one understand the preciousness of this spaceship. However, this kind of spaceship is only used by the empire on routes between its own internal galaxies and external galaxies, and the ones used are all old spaceships like the "Kyushu".
"It's worthy of being the Yanhuang Empire. Tsk tsk, the number of spaceships parked in this space port alone is more than that of all the spaceships in Japan, and it's even bigger."
The spaceship slowly parked at a designated space port. As it got closer and closer to the space port, the figures of spaceships appeared in the sight of everyone in this huge space port. Taoyuan Si couldn't help but sigh.
Now it has been more than ten years since the Earth Federation split. This time, the reason why Junichiro Yagyu and his party came to the Empire from afar and with great difficulty was naturally not to travel, but to seek to establish diplomatic relations with the Empire, to carry out economic and trade exchanges, scientific and technological exchanges, and to send students to each other.
After the independence of the various galaxies of the Earth Federation, the Yanhuang Empire no longer established diplomatic relations with other countries, but only with China on Earth, so the spaceships that originally led to the various galaxies of the Earth Federation were also withdrawn, so that the various galaxies of the Earth Federation lacked the imperial spaceships to help transport, and the exchanges between them suddenly became very difficult.
As for the development of science and technology, economic trade, etc., they have also been greatly affected. For spaceships, especially those that can travel between stars, only the spaceships of the Yanhuang Empire are the safest and most reliable. Even if the spaceships are old and old, they are safer than the spaceships built by everyone themselves.
Although it has been independent for more than ten years, the development of various aspects is very unsuccessful, especially in the most important aspect of science and technology. Therefore, Junichiro Yagyu has the idea of establishing diplomatic relations with the Yanhuang Empire, hoping to continue to get help from the Empire. Of course, it is not only the Japanese who hold such an idea.
The Pan-European Union, a new country composed of the original European and American countries that occupied the Victoria Galaxy and the Columbus Galaxy, also wants to seek to establish diplomatic relations with the Empire, and carry out economic and trade exchanges, scientific and technological exchanges, etc.
"That's their military port, right? This spaceship is so big. The Emperor Hanwu spaceship is the most powerful spaceship in the hands of the Yanhuang Empire."
"When will our Great Japanese Empire also have such a powerful spaceship!"
Momohara Tsukasa looked at the nearest spaceport. All the spaceships were parked in this spaceport. The huge spaceships were parked neatly. The largest spaceship was like a sleeping beast. Just one look at it made people feel surprised by its huge size.
"Momohara-kun, as long as we keep working hard, we will soon have such a large spaceship."
Yagyu Junichiro patted Momohara Tsukasa's shoulder, looking more confident, looking at the huge spaceports in the void. In these spaceports, there were spaceships taking off and landing, and countless small spaceships were constantly flying back and forth between the spaceports in the void. It was very lively and busy.
The "Kyushu" spaceship slowly docked in the space port, the hatch opened wide, and the mechanical arm began to unload the cargo on the spaceship, and at the same time began to add energy, water, compressed air and other supplies to the spaceship to prepare for the next trip to the solar system.
Junichiro Yagyu and others also followed many passengers to the space port. If they want to go to the imperial capital star Yanhuang, they need to change to a spaceship. Interstellar spaceships like "Kyushu" are not allowed to enter the inner circle of the Centauri galaxy.
The space port is very lively. There are people in the empire holding signs to welcome their relatives and friends coming from the earth. After all, the Yanhuang Empire came from China. They are close to each other and have flesh and blood. Many families are partly in the empire and partly in China on Earth. They often visit each other and visit relatives.
Those who did not receive their relatives and friends naturally seemed anxious after all, and those who received their relatives and friends were naturally happy and talked and laughed, and soon took their gifts and went to Kyushu or Yanhuang together.
In addition to receiving people, some space merchants are very smart and look at the people coming out one by one, carefully looking for interstellar space merchants like themselves, wanting to sell their goods, or buy some goods and commodities from alien planets, etc.
Of course, this phenomenon only occurs here. If the various galaxies within the empire have already negotiated the business with each other even across the distant void, they can just deliver the goods directly.
In this port, there are often some space merchants from the Pan-European Union, Canis Minor Galaxy, Beichuan Galaxy, and Solar System. They don’t have quantum communicators on the empire, nor do they have identity cards from the empire. Naturally, there is no way to negotiate business in the virtual network, and they can only rely on this backward method.
Of course, it is often the most profitable to do business with these space merchants who are traveling to the empire for the first time. The prices of goods between the various galaxies within the empire have long been very transparent. Although the profits are also generous, they are far from comparable to this, so many space merchants are looking for business opportunities here.
