Chapter 518 Entering the City of Death
It is not that simple to transmit information using optical cables.
General optical cables will also lose or blur information.
Just like a subtle electronic sound appears during a call, it can be accepted during a call, but not in this transmission.
The optical cable needs to isolate all interference and bear all the information generated by the change of a creature.
As far as Yan Xia knows, such a portal connects dozens of optical cables as thick as arms, and a signal stabilizer is installed at each node of the optical cable.
At the same time, the encryption method of this information is different from the original super-hedge material transfer device.
The encryption method of the information itself determines the transmission mode and information loss of this information.
Of course, it also has the most primitive function, which is the lock.
Information encryption is also to prevent information from being stolen and destroyed by people with ulterior motives.
The original information encryption only needs to be prevented from being stolen, and this portal needs to be undestroyed.
This is a technology that is difficult to meet the standard, and it is also the main reason why the interstellar super-hedge biological transfer technology has not been applied.
If a fleet is going to a certain place through a super-hedge biological transfer device.
At this time, if the enemy knows about this, they only need to use a "loudspeaker" to spread a large amount of disordered information to this star field, which can cause the loss of the entire fleet.
The current super-hedge biological transfer device has begun to integrate the super-gravity corridor of the Olive Branch Civilization.
At the beginning, the Olive Branch Civilization sent an asteroid to the /Star City star field and destroyed /Star City and the Cosmic Silk Road.
This thing has great limitations and requires huge gravity like a neutron star or a black hole.
The super-gravity corridor can effectively isolate the damage of cosmic radiation to information, but it is actually quite limited. The Federation has now put this method into use, but still intends to transport life only in an emergency.
In general, the real portal can only be used in places the size of a planet, and it is impossible to make a second portal at close range.
Those devices that shield information have high power and high precision requirements. If the distance is too close, there is a chance of information disorder.
On a planet as large as 46 Star City, only 5 portals are allowed to be built at most.
Yan Xia was still a little dazed when he walked out of the portal.
When he came to his senses, he saw a robot more than 30 meters tall walking in front of him.
This robot has eight legs like a spider, six legs support its body, and two legs suck up garbage on the street like straws.
Cleaning robot.
In order to avoid collisions with pedestrians, they all land on round pillars about 10 meters high.
These pillars are only as thick as thighs, and there is a groove on the top to fix the legs of these robots.
Of course, it is not just cleaning robots that walk these roads.
Many super-large robots also share these pillars.
For example, package delivery.
The speed of the robot can sometimes reach hundreds of kilometers per hour.
The highest flying height of the pedal is only half a meter, and it cannot fly. Yan Xia needs to take the elevator pedal to go to the upper floor.
The reason why it is called a lifting pedal is that this pedal is very large, with a diameter of more than 20 meters.
It rises from the ground every 30 seconds, and then the next pedal fills it.
The pedal is round, no more than 20cm thick, and gold and silver colors.
The distance between the lifting and lowering plates of the lifting pedal is also 20 meters. The lowered pedal will be transferred to the lifting plate underground to complete a cycle.
The pedal has no frame.
You can stand on the edge and look down.
Yan Xia watched the people below slowly get smaller, which is also a kind of fun.
However, the people who do the same as him are all children.
There is no need to worry that these children will fall down and get injured or die.
There are supporting safety devices above and below the lifting pedal, which can achieve functions such as air mobilization and magnetic suspension.
Air mobilization is to let the wind within a certain range blow upwards, so the speed of falling is slowed down.
Magnetic suspension is simpler. Nowadays, even children have metal structures in their bodies, so only a magnetic field is needed to suspend these falling people.
In fact, anti-gravity is the safest, but it is very expensive and not conducive to popularization.
The lifting pedal is not fast at the beginning, and then slowly speeds up. After reaching the maximum speed in the middle section, it slowly slows down, and then rises steadily to the middle layer.
Although there are commoners, elites and rich people, it does not mean that people at the bottom cannot come to the middle level, and people in the middle level cannot go to the highest level.
There are still many commoners in the middle level, but they will not settle here.
The consumption level of the middle level is obviously much higher than that of the lowest level. There are a large number of shopping malls here, and the pace can be noticed to slow down instantly.
Most of the people here are mainly for fun and shopping.
Although many people in this era have gradually abandoned the pleasure of their own flesh, it does not mean that no one pursues it.
Even if it is only 5%, there are some.
If you want to pursue the flesh in reality, you will naturally communicate in reality. These people are the mainstream consumer groups of these offline shopping malls.
However, there are really few people.
If the lowest level is described as a sea of people, then the middle level is as few as morning stars.
At a glance, there are probably only one or two thousand people in such a large place.
Yan Xia certainly did not come here to pursue pleasure.
He walked to a triangular headlight, and then the light began to light up, and the light it emitted dragged his body up and flew into the air.
He crossed all the way and directly reached the surface of the sky shell of Star City 46, and then left Star City 46 with the help of a passage.
Standing in the starry sky, Yan Xia looked around and saw a magnificent scene.
All around this star city, there was light.
It was not starlight, but the light of various large interstellar buildings such as cities, spaceships, and starships.
He seemed to be in a huge city with the void as its land.
This is the difference between the star city cluster and the general star system star city.
That is, there are also many buildings in space. Small buildings may be strange-shaped shops and various places.
Some of the large buildings are company buildings, and some are docks for repairing spaceships.
Although there are businesses for repairing spaceships in general star ports, many of them are relatively expensive, and these private docks will use inferior parts for replacement, or use some common metals for repair, which are cheap and always have consumers patronizing.
The people in the Federation are indeed very rich, but the repair and maintenance costs of spaceships, which cost hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan, can easily cost thousands of energy coins, so they should save as much as possible.
Especially for some small explorer teams.
Yan Xia stood on the surface of Star City 46. There was nothing on the surface here. The nearest thing was a pipe more than 100 meters above his head.
Interstellar shuttle pipe.
It allows starships and near-ground shuttles to fly quickly in it. If it is a person, it can also be.
Yan Xia covered his body with a mecha and flew towards the shuttle pipe with one foot.
As soon as he entered the pipe, his speed increased.
There are small magnetic devices throughout the pipe, which can allow the starship to move at a speed of 20,000 km/s inside without consuming energy in the process.
Pipes are not real pipes.
In fact, there are too many round pipes. There is a magnetic device almost every few hundred meters, which looks like a pipe from a distance.
It itself serves the starship.
The length of the starship is less than 1,000 meters. Following this pipe, it can reach the other side from one side without accelerating and consuming energy.
The near-ground shuttle can also be used for a short ride.
Few individuals will enter here to accelerate. Although the mecha can withstand the acceleration, it is definitely not comfortable.
The triangular device that Yan Xia flew up before is actually the maintenance channel of the 46-star city.
That is, some maintenance personnel or robots can quickly reach the surface of the 46-star city for maintenance.
Yan Xia chose this method to save time.
The name of the City of Death is well known here, and basically no one will choose to go there.
It would be more troublesome for Yan Xia to take a starship or a near-ground shuttle.
And this pipeline will pass by the City of Death.
He only needs to leave the interstellar shuttle pipeline halfway.
It took about 3 hours to fly.
Yan Xia finally saw the City of Death in the distance. It looked like a more common flat star city.
The upper and lower sides of the plane were cities.
Yan Xia used his permission to shut down the magnetic fields of several magnetic devices in front, and then left the pipeline.
The magnetic field inside the pipeline is connected, and it is very difficult to get out of it, that is, you can't get off halfway, unless you are like Yan Xia.
After getting out of the pipeline, Yan Xia suddenly felt a sense of silence around him.
The starry sky itself is quiet.
But it is particularly quiet here, not only is there no sound, but there is no light.
Yan Xia flew towards the city of death.
It seems that the city of death is bigger than a fist with the arm stretched out. It feels very close, but it is actually very far away.
With the thrust brought by the previous pipeline, Yan Xia took more than half an hour to arrive at a speed of 24157km/s, close to 0.5 astronomical units.
This is a huge star city.
According to Yan Xia's understanding, there used to be more than 31.1 billion people living here, which is also one of the super-large star cities in the federation.
In fact, at the beginning, the size of the star city was strictly limited, and more than 10 billion people were all capital-level star cities.
But with the expansion of the population, the originally small star city is becoming less and less sufficient.
After all, that was the old rule tens of thousands of years ago, when the population of the Federation was only a trillion.
Now, compared to that time, the population has increased ten thousand times.
The area of small star cities has been gradually expanded. A population of 100 million to 1 billion is considered small, 1 billion to 5 billion is considered medium, 50 to 20 billion is considered large, and more than 20 billion is considered super large.
There is almost no upper limit for super large star cities. 100 billion is also super large, and 1 trillion is also.
But even in the Federation, there are very few star cities with more than one trillion. The one over the Water Commission is one of them.
Yan Xia landed on the surface of this star city without stopping.
He collected a lot of information here.
"The City of Death is the original Star City No. 88. The entire star city has a super company, Aite Technology."
"Aite Technology mainly deals in the sale of creation elements. They have many cutting-edge elements."
According to Yan Xia's knowledge, the peak market value of Aite Technology at that time exceeded 800 trillion energy coins.
This is the first company in the Kehua Star City Group and even the surrounding star systems.
Yan Xia wasn't sure whether the accident here was related to this company.
He planned to go to the headquarters of this company to investigate.
The entire Death City is now abandoned, and there seems to be no trace of vicissitudes here.
After sending troops to intervene several times and the troops disappeared here, almost no one has come to the Death City, except for those guys who are going to die.
The buildings here look very intact.
After all, it has only been more than a thousand years.
With the current construction level of the Federation, few buildings will age within 100,000 years.
Yan Xia walked on the empty streets. The air supply here has been lost and it is in a vacuum state, so Yan Xia did not take off the mecha on his body.
He actually didn't understand what happened here.
The information he got was similar to the rumors outside.
There is no mechanical god in the Star City Group. The mechanical god cannot have sufficient energy here, so Yan Xia needs to find someone to get information like that.
Walking all the way.
Yan Xia was also alert.
He couldn't sense any danger here, but this was the most dangerous.
His pace was speeding up little by little. The Star City was very large, and he didn't want to waste his time on these things.
This Star City actually still has energy, which was remotely shut down.
After that, he not only had to go to the headquarters of Aite Technology, but also had to turn on the power of part of the city.
Although Star City was not managed by the Mechanical God, Star City itself was equipped with a host.
What happened at that time should have been recorded by the host.
About 6 hours later, Yan Xia finally arrived at Aite Technology.
Its headquarters here covers a large area of 740,000 square kilometers.
This is the financial strength of a super company.
Entering Aite Technology, all you can see here are huge factory-like buildings, which are square, without much architectural beauty, and not too many windows.
Yan Xia opened the map he had searched.
The first place he had to go was the headquarters here.
Here, he was more careful.
In fact, there has always been a point that he cares about.
After all, so many people died here. If the bodies on the street flew into the deep space because of the lack of gravity, then why can't any bodies be seen inside the building?
Something has dealt with all the bodies here.
So there must be someone here, or it's not a person.
The moment he entered the headquarters building, Yan Xia felt the slight vibration of the ground through the sensor on the mecha.
There are people in this building!
Yan Xia's nervousness reached its peak.
His individual strength could not be compared with the army. The army was defeated here, let alone him.
What on earth was in there?
Although Yan Xia was nervous, he still entered.
He came here to find the truth.
