"I love the Eternal Gate of Terra. The sun rises above the Eternal Gate ~ Great Leader——"
In the cadence of the song, which sounded intermittent due to the quality of the playback equipment, Isvin, who was sitting on the chair of the somewhat shaky shuttle, stared at the old lady standing in front of him in astonishment. Rozim and the short boy beside him were The same goes for Doge Kejie. The three of them seemed to be frozen.
"What are you looking at!"
An ordinary-dressed but energetic old lady stood in front of the two of them with her hands on her hips.
"No, grandma, we bought the tickets for this."
Iswin tried to explain, but the shaking of the shuttle made everyone instinctively grab the armrests. Instead, the old lady crossed her compass-like legs and remained motionless, making people doubt her true age.
"Don't you know that you respect the elderly and love the young?"
As she said that, her arrogant eyes swept across the three people sitting on the seat. Two of them were considered normal, and one was a complete dwarf.
"I should sit in this seat. I look down on you aliens, you have no quality!"
"Hey, you old guy, you are so unreasonable!"
The grumpy Dogo immediately shouted, and the people around him immediately looked at him.
"If you want a seat, buy your own tickets!"
"Look, you look like a disabled, stinky alien, and you've come to Terra to beg for food! And because you're here to talk, who do you think you are?"
I didn't expect that this person's voice was no worse than Doge's.
Rozim couldn't help but frowned and said:
"What's so great about Terra."
At this moment, the player of the shuttle made the arrival sound. Rozim was too lazy to argue with the old lady and took Isvin and Dogo out of their seats and headed for the exit. The old lady still cursed and sat down in their previous seat. superior.
"Ah, this is Terra."
As soon as the three of them entered Damocles Airport, they were shocked by the magnificent hall in front of them. Hundreds of boarding elevators and passages were densely covering the edges and sky of the hall like spider webs. In the middle was a huge waiting room. In the area, tens of thousands of seats are filled with people, separated by railings, and monitors everywhere play the time of each flight in a loop.
Just by looking at it, this hall alone may accommodate more than 100,000 people, and this is just one of the airports located outside the palace, which has more than two hundred such halls.
Although Rozim and Isvin were shocked, Dogo scorned the Damocles Airport.
"Tch, this place is like a doghouse. One day I will take you to see the Grand Alliance Airport and you will know what efficiency is. Can you believe that 219 trillion supplies can be transported at 12 standard silver centers?"
"Okay, okay, you can play it."
Rozim waved his hand, then found a service servitor and asked for a map - each passenger can use the ticket in his hand to get a simple map of Terra from here.
You don't know it until you look at it, but you realize that Terra is really big, far beyond the size of an ordinary hive. The entire planet's surface is basically covered by cities except for the North and South Poles and a few unmarked areas.
The area surrounding the palace is called the Eternal City, which is also one of the most prosperous metropolises in Terra, followed by Tashkent Hive, Salvatore Hive, Mariakes Hive, the first city of Novillon, and Jericho Hive City, Ababa Hive City, and several other giant hive cities and city circles with a population of hundreds of billions. This is only in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, there is also Church City, the headquarters of the state religion, which itself is also a super city group, as well as Ska The city of Harax, the Martian office on Terra, is also home to tens of billions of members of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Even the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs in Terra cannot count the actual population of this cradle of humanity, because in addition to Terra's own population growth, there is an influx of extremely large foreign populations every day.
In order to limit the continued deterioration of this situation and completely "crowd" the planet, Terra has implemented an extremely strict household registration system and entry system. Everyone who comes to Terra for any purpose must first verify their identity in orbit and apply for entry. Certificate, and a local person’s guarantee is also required to apply for a temporary residence permit.
But even so, Terra's population continued to grow uncontrollably.
Because guys like Rozim can't get in by normal means, but, if they can get in as a "Astral Knight Attendant and Auxiliary", this is what he and Soshyan have been working hard on for a long time. It was finally obtained through Ustad's intercession.
"We are here now"
Rozim pointed to the edge of the west side of Eternal City.
"It should be called the Northern Khmer District."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which read [No. 22347, Qihe Street, Level B, Assam District]
"Assam district. Er, it's here."
Pointing to an area on the map located on the southeast side of the outer suburbs of the palace, Rozim nodded with satisfaction.
"It's not too far. Let's see if there is a train below that can get us there directly."
"Hey, boss, don't forget, you need to change money."
"Oh yes."
When Rozim came to the surface, the orbital navigator told him to remember to exchange for throne coins at the airport, otherwise he would easily be tricked or cheated outside.
After all, under the bustle, a lot of dirt is bound to breed, and there are many people who make a living by defrauding outsiders around the airport.
Even the edge of the map in Rozim's hand has a warning written on it——
Don't eat food from strangers, don't drink water from strangers
Don't trust any so-called 'fellow countrymen' easily
Do not get into vehicles or aircraft without any license plates
Be careful when purchasing cheap technology products from vendors roaming around the airport. Regular products are sold at the Mars authorized official store in Area A on the first floor.
Be sure to take good care of your personal belongings, and do not trust any so-called consignment personnel. Official consignments only use servitors and robots with clear certificates.
Please do not spread any unorthodox beliefs. The airport will not be responsible if a personal accident occurs due to this.
Preventing illegal drugs is everyone’s responsibility
The three of them went all the way down the elevator. During the process, Rozim glanced outside. At this time, they were still thousands of meters above the ground. Looking from a distance, it was early in the morning, and there was still sunshine. Through the clouds, the domes of the giant buildings in the Eternal City look extremely resplendent. Even in the suburbs of the city, you can see majestic buildings and high-rise buildings that are no less than the spiers of any hive city.
Soon, they arrived at the eleventh floor of the airport, which was also crowded with people and noisy. There was a tall display window near the observation deck, and many people were queuing there.
The exchange rules for Throne Coins are very strange. It does not involve using some kind of physical object to trade or anything like that. Instead, the exchanger needs to obtain exchange points in Pluto or Neptune, and then use the exchange points to exchange for Throne Coins on Terra. , which also makes those two worlds the most rampant black markets in the solar system. Of course, if you have a way, you can also directly use physical objects to find someone to exchange them in Terra.
Of course, the redemption point itself is not a physical object, but a magnetic card.
