On September 30th, the interstellar cruise ship Free Soar, which had been delayed for several days due to the war in Dongdan, chased all the way and finally arrived at the Lighthouse Star out of breath on the last day before the opening day of the university. 【Read the latest chapter】
Gu Hanhan got up early in the morning, holding a copy of the "Galaxy Encyclopedia" that was just reprinted in 4012, and jumped up and down the stairs between the living room and the dining room. Along with the clicking sound of her high heels, read an introduction to the lighthouse star——
——Lighthouse star, the center of the Milky Way, the city of freedom that all mankind longs for, the light of democracy. This is the center of human politics, civilization, and economy, and it has been uninterrupted for hundreds of generations...
What nonsense, the city of freedom and democracy is clearly my mother earth! Even if it’s called the center of the Milky Way, isn’t it the political, civilizational and economic center that we inherited from Mother Earth?
——This is where the United Nations headquarters is located. All human society, 26,000 countries, regions or free planets have established diplomatic agencies here. This is the holy city of the Galaxy Temple Cult, where the temples of the Earth Goddess and the Dark Goddess stand, where all the devout people worship under the divine light, and where their souls take refuge...
It’s so joyful, the United Nations headquarters and overseas agencies are mentioned together with religious temples. Whose does this belong to?
——It is the third planet in the star system, the nearest habitable planet for humans in the center of the Milky Way, and has a satellite. The planet has a diameter of 12,000 kilometers, a surface gravity acceleration of 9.8, an autobiographical period of 23.56 hours, one lighthouse day equals one galactic standard day, an average surface temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, and an atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa. The planet is composed of oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron. , calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium and various trace elements. The planet's surface is mainly covered by water, with land accounting for a quarter...
Is this the legendary planet with four nines of similarity? I think this does not have the sense of a universe of billions of light years at all. It can easily give people the illusion that after decades of hard work, they are still standing still on the earth. Why not choose the center of the Milky Way to be on planets that are less than 50% similar? It feels like traveling far away.
——The planet has a surface of 510 million square kilometers, divided into 800 administrative regions, maintaining a total population of 30 billion all year round, with a population density of 232 people per square kilometer, which is equivalent to the population density of the earth in its heyday...
Was there 30 billion people when the earth's population was at its highest? I didn’t know that before! The current population of the earth is just over 1 billion, and there seem to be only over 50 administrative districts. However, can one planet really support a population of 30 billion? The air quality must be extremely bad. Do you think we should buy some disinfectant masks before we disembark? Speaking of which, Ms. Li Shufen seems to have packed masks for me, and they smell of grass from the Mongolian grassland. One of them, one of my dears, can you help? I looked through it to see where I put my two big suitcases? It would be best if you could help me find the mask inside...
——It is located in the Exile Star Field at the core of the Milky Way, surrounded by the most densely populated and industrially developed worlds, so it has naturally become the densest and richest planet in human history. Hundreds of thousands of large transport spacecraft take off and land here every day, transporting various daily supplies...
One hundred thousand? ! The load capacity of each large transport spaceship must be tens of millions of tons, right? Hundreds of thousands... Oh my god! This means that there is no industrial or agricultural production on this planet, it is just consumption! This is Rome in the Galactic Age, the real-life version of Trantor! What if an energy hurricane comes one day and cuts off the subspace channel? Wouldn’t the working people of Lighthouse Planet have to drink the northwest wind? But there may be no working people in this place at all!
This is the general center of interstellar transportation in the Milky Way, with a population of nearly 700 million entering and exiting the Lighthouse Star every day. The lighthouse star's spaceport is the largest port in human history, with 500,000 spacecraft berths and 3 million large transfer platforms...
Awesome! A kind of magnificent situation where the entire planet's orbit is filled with spaceship berths! It will definitely not be delayed all day long like the Earth Space Port. In order to queue up for a berth, the spacecraft often has to circle the orbit twice before entering the port. Hooray, I can have lunch at Lighthouse Star today! Hey, Anthony, what does the house you asked Matthew to buy us look like? Is there really no need to call first and ask about the situation?
——This is the largest and most comprehensive trading center in the entire Galaxy. It is the headquarters of the Galaxy's financial trading and regulatory agencies. It has the largest lanthanum crystal trading center, material futures trading center, and slave trading market in the Galaxy...
I just wonder, how can this lighthouse star be so proud of our Mother Earth’s two first-place names in freedom and democracy? It is a planet that recognizes slavery, and it also has the largest slave trading market in the entire galaxy... Freedom and democracy are not about using artificial celestial bodies to move a eldest sister wearing a seven-pointed crown and holding a lamp in the starry sky, and naming the jumping point. Kinmen, after finishing it, engrave two sentences: "The light of the Mother of Exiles will illuminate the vast land, and those who yearn to breathe freely but have been ruthlessly abandoned will come to my arms." It will be regarded as freedom and democracy. The people who compile encyclopedias are really mentally ill!
——Lighthouse Star is the city of fashion and romance. It is the second largest tourist destination in the universe after the earth, and the largest luxury consumption place in the galaxy. According to statistics, human society accounts for one-fifth of the total output of all kinds of luxury goods every year. One of them is consumed by Lighthouse Star. This is a place of encounter and love. The number of marriages concluded every year at the Lighthouse Star International Marriage Notary Center ranks first in the universe...
Why is the title of the largest consumer of luxury goods, which is equivalent to a stupid person with too much money, happily printed in the encyclopedia and revealed to the whole universe? It seems that there are indeed no working people in this place, they are all rich people who do not cheat for nothing. Also, I don’t think the marriage numbers can explain anything. Do they dare to publish the divorce numbers as well?
——This is the mothership cluster of science and education, with 30,000 of the best laboratories and research centers and comprehensive universities in the galaxy, and a full-time research group of 50 million people. These educational and scientific research institutions are mainly concentrated in three regions in the mid-latitudes of the planet's northern hemisphere...
The Harvard University that my sister is going to attend should be considered top-notch, so in the future, she will be considered one of the 50 million scientific researchers? Why do I feel that there is no sense of reality at all... Ah, why is it in the mid-latitudes? My sister has lived in the mid-latitudes with four distinct seasons since she was a child. In fact, she is looking forward to experiencing the tropics and cold zones - I don’t know what to expect during the weekend. Can you go on vacation?
This is the capital of literature and art, a shining pearl of human architecture. The eighty-one districts passing through the 30 degrees north and south latitude are dotted with nearly a million private manors, palaces, and castle buildings, each of which is a masterpiece of human art...
Millions of seats...I have once again strengthened my belief that the Lighthouse Star is a place used to show off wealth for the evil exploiting class in the universe! But why do they concentrate on buying land and building houses near the 30th parallel between north and south? Is it for the sake of comparison? Hey, I remember you said that you also have a manor on the lighthouse planet, Anthony? where? Pretty or not? When will you take me to visit? You, a guy who loves to show off, must be able to do this...
Gu Hanhan was reading the entries in the "Encyclopedia of the Galaxy" while making some comments and ridicules. The girl's voice was like an oriole coming out of the valley, mixed with the clear and rhythmic tapping of high heels, in response to the light coming in from the balcony behind her and the direction of the spacecraft. The light whirlpool emitted by the lighthouse star spiraling down makes people feel the refreshing and leisurely feeling of autumn morning.
However, Gu Hanhan thought about it for a while and realized that Anthony never responded, so he was no longer willing to continue to be a scenery in the golden autumn morning. He tilted his face and complained loudly towards the center of the living room through a shelf——
Hey, Anthony, I've been saying this for a long time, why don't you respond? What am I asking you?
Anthony put down the entertainment section of the "Knight Street Morning News" he was reading, raised his head and asked: What did you say?
I'm dizzy. You really don't take me seriously anymore. Anthony, you don't even listen to me when I talk to you. Do I still want to be my boyfriend? Gu Hanhan rolled his eyes, condemned him enough in one breath, and then said, I said you are at the Manor of Lighthouse Star, when will you take me to play.
Anthony snorted and said: That's no fun, you probably won't like it. Then he lowered his head again and concentrated on reading his entertainment page.
What's not fun? I've never been there. How do you know I don't like it? You obviously don’t want me to go, you are a love liar who has no ID and is ready to abandon your girlfriend and run away at any time! Gu Hanhan curled his lips and yelled: Show me your ID card quickly, Anthony, I want to go to your house to identify myself!
Anthony stared at the words in the newspaper silently, thinking in his heart: Do you know what the meaning of "beginning to chaos and finally giving up" means, but you just use it randomly? Ha, I got 20 points in physics and failed in Chinese...
I’m going to travel to the manor located at 30 degrees north and south latitude! Gu Hanhan rushed down from the steps connecting the dining room and the living room, jumped on the sofa, grabbed Anthony's newspaper, and tugged on his shirt. Take me there quickly!
Our Yves family's estate on Lighthouse Star seems to be on the 30th degree north latitude. Miss, do you want to stay for a few days? I'll arrange it right away. Rossi walked in from the door, bowed his head slightly to Anthony as a salute, and then smiled and said to Gu Hanhan, how was the first weekend after school started? It just so happened that it was the beginning of the social season and we were able to host a fall drinks party. It's not far from the university town, and the airship can go back and forth in more than an hour. You can definitely stay for two days and go back to school on Monday morning.
The devil is going to your manor to spend the weekend. Gu Hanhan was immediately discouraged and announced loudly, I hate noble manors and cocktail parties the most!
Didn’t you say that you would disembark separately at the lighthouse and not come with us, Uncle Rosie? Gu Hanhan looked at the time and wondered, it's already half past nine, and we'll get off the boat in less than half an hour. Why are you here again? Huh……
Gu Hanhan jumped off the sofa and walked around the living room and various rooms. He saw that everyone was the same as usual, so when he came back, he said strangely: It seems that we haven't started packing our luggage yet - one, Dear one, do we really not need to pack things up in advance? There is so much stuff, is there time to pack it up before disembarking? Don't tell me that you don't want it anymore...
...It’s perfectly time to pack your luggage in the afternoon, miss. replied the valet.
afternoon? Gu Hanhan was confused. Didn't the announcement on the spacecraft say that we would arrive at the Lighthouse Star at ten o'clock? No notice of delay.
Stop dreaming when you get off the boat at ten o'clock. Anthony threw the newspaper in his hand to Gu Hanhan.
Rossi then said: Mr. Li Shen of the Tang Empire arrived at the Lighthouse Star at ten o'clock this morning. One hour before his spaceship docked and two hours after it docked, the space port would be under martial law and no spacecraft would be allowed to enter or exit.
What? Gu Hanhan grabbed the newspaper and was stunned. Who are you talking about?
