Chapter 249
Immediately.
March 7th's tone was somewhat depressed.
"No, why aren't any of you surprised? Such a huge megastructure, my camera can't even fit it all in!"
Hearing March 7th's words, Stelle looked up, then continued to stare at the game on her phone, saying casually.
"Hey, what's there to be surprised about? I'm already tired of looking at it."
Seele also glanced out the window, "It's alright. A few years have passed, and the overall change isn't big. Huh, seems like there's an extra star gate?"
"That's an Anywhere Door." Himeko put down her coffee and answered, "The first batch of giant Anywhere Doors aided by the IPC; we will pass through here in a moment, and then arrive at the first ring from the third ring."
"What do you mean? Jarilo-VI has a ring line?" March 7th was confused.
"Little March, the Dai Sen ring megastructure of Jarilo-VI has three layers; what you see now is just the outer layer, which is also where the vast majority of outsiders stay first. Only after passing the audit can you go to the core area, which is the inner ring. The planet Jarilo-VI is located on the inner ring." Himeko explained.
"Oh! So that's what it means!" March 7th realized.
Of course she knew the Dai Sen ring had three circles.
It's just that she didn't associate it for a moment.
After reacting now, she couldn't help but feel some emotion.
In other worlds, ring lines are only used in cities.
On Jarilo-VI, ring lines can actually be used to measure celestial bodies?
Outrageous!
It's truly too outrageous!
March 7th was still sighing, and the Astral Express had already passed the audit and could head to the giant Anywhere Door.
Not long after.
The train passed through a building like a "star gate."
When the train came out from behind the door, it had already arrived from the outer circle to the inner circle.
Which is the residential area.
At this time.
March 7th suddenly remembered a doubt.
"Sister Himeko, what exactly are we transporting this time? I see you've been refusing to say, looking all mysterious, insisting on waiting until Jarilo-VI; now that the destination has arrived, you should be able to say it, right?"
As soon as March 7th finished speaking, the eyes of the others also looked over.
Very curious.
Needless to say, Seele was extremely concerned about anything related to Jarilo-VI, or rather, the Commander.
Stelle was equally curious; as far as she knew, this was personally entrusted by Lin Qi.
What exactly is it that's worth Lin Qi going to such great lengths, and even letting the train transport it on his behalf?
For a time.
Several people were somewhat curious.
Seeing this, Himeko didn't intend to hide it anymore.
The reason she didn't say it before was mainly because she was afraid that after they knew, they wouldn't be able to sleep well.
Now that the goods had arrived, she wasn't worried about those things.
"It's a star." Himeko said calmly.
Hmm?
What thing?
The three were stunned, their first reaction being whether their ears had misheard.
A star?
Is this something that can be transported?
When did the Astral Express become able to send such outrageous "courier"?
"Sister Himeko, stop joking; even if you want to lie to us, you have to find a better reason." March 7th's tone was full of disbelief.
Looking at Seele and Stelle again, their expressions were about the same.
Full of disbelief.
Himeko smiled again, "I'm not lying to you; when I first received this commission, I was also shocked, and my reaction was about the same as yours. Thinking, how can a star be transported? Even if it could, what if it wasn't controlled well? Wouldn't we be swallowed by the star?"
Himeko continued, "But Lin Qi and Miss Asta showed me the stability of the technology, as well as the dozens of stars they had captured, and after that, I didn't worry anymore. However, considering the special nature of the star, I didn't tell you, fearing you wouldn't be able to sleep."
March 7th and the others looked at each other.
Didn't know what to say.
Wouldn't be able to sleep?
This makes it even harder to sleep, okay?
But then again, where is that star now?
Why haven't they seen it?
Just as they were about to ask, a noise came from outside the port.
"The people to receive the cargo have arrived." Himeko stood up and said.
Not long after.
A puppet girl boarded the train.
"Herta? Why is there a Herta here too?" Stelle spoke first, surprised.
"What's so strange about that? This genius's puppets are all over the galaxy; I can log in wherever I want." Herta controlled the puppet and replied.
Herta didn't have the leisure to run over specifically to pick up "courier."
If it weren't for Lin Qi saying this star was used to build megastructure equipment to improve the computing power of the Simulated Universe, she wouldn't even have bothered to dispatch a puppet.
"Ms. Himeko, where is the star?" Herta asked.
This question gathered everyone's eyes on Himeko.
Obviously.
Everyone wanted to see what a star looked like.
However, March 7th still took a step back.
What if the star exploded?
Of course.
Just taking this step back was useless.
At least you have to retreat a few light-years to not be affected at all.
The reason for doing so was entirely instinctive.
Under everyone's gaze, Himeko took out a special device.
This device existed in a certain special force field, seemingly able to distort space; through its transparent glass-like shell, one could clearly see a blue-white sphere suspended inside.
Looking closely, one could find prominences lingering around the sphere.
One could also vaguely feel a scorching heat.
"This is a star? It's too small, right? It looks like a big light bulb no matter how you look at it!" March 7th complained.
"I have a bold idea; if I replace the Stellaron in my body with it, will I be more powerful? How about... taking it out and trying?" Stelle thought thoughtfully.
"Please, stop thinking about it! I still want to live a few more years." March 7th said hurriedly, "Although I said it's a big light bulb, that doesn't mean it really is one!"
Seele was thinking about whether her scythe could cut it.
On the other side.
Herta just took a simple look at the star and took it over.
"Alright, handover complete; you guys go wander around, I have things to do, I'm leaving first."
Ah?
Is it that casual?
March 7th was stunned; this is a star!
How can you just take it with your hand like receiving a glass ball?
Aren't you afraid of an explosion?
But considering this is Herta, it seems quite normal.
Just thinking.
Herta's puppet suddenly paused, as if it had received some news.
