No matter how much people complained about the name, the speed of the Petrachelys was quite satisfactory. It was much faster than the civilian transport ships. It took only an hour to fly from 800 light-years to the solar system, and that was after stopping to take photos, decelerating for sightseeing, and taking detours for exploration. The speed of the ship was incredible. It could not even be measured by pure "speed". After the FTL engine was activated, it broke through the barrier of the speed of light in this universe. Hao Ren did not know if the process of sailing in the space bubble was considered "sailing", but to him, it was almost the same as teleportation.
This was only the cruising mode of the Petrachelys. In fact, the spacecraft had real space warp capability. It could warp between two worlds, and it could also warp in a single universe. However, it needed some charging time, and it was an extra burden on the spacecraft's power core. So Raven 12345 suggested that unless it was absolutely necessary, it was better for Hao Ren to fly over if he could complete the journey within a few hours. Keeping the spacecraft in the best condition to deal with a real emergency was a basic quality that every captain must have.
It would probably take a long time before Hao Ren could become a real captain. At least, he had to learn all the theories in the MDT before he could be considered a real captain. Although he was now the owner of the spacecraft, he was actually just a nobody. He could only set a goal after boarding the ship, and leave the rest to the mainframe and the MDT. He was still far from being a "captain".
After passing through the shield that could block all detection methods, the guiding lights of Kuiper Station appeared in Hao Ren's field of vision again. The last time he left here, he hitched a ride on someone else's ship. This time, he came back in his own official spacecraft. It had only been two days, and it gave him an inexplicable sense of excitement. He had the urge to find someone to show off to.
Fortunately, he could not find anyone in this place even if he wanted to show off.
"Request for docking has been issued. Request for docking has been approved. The spacecraft will now enter the special port area." The soft monotonous voice of the mainframe echoed in the control room. The bow of the Petrachelys slowly turned to a separate building on the side of Kuiper Station. The MDT was stuck on the console, shouting excitedly, "Oh yes, oh yes! A perfect first voyage! I must be born to be a ship's main computer! Someone get a welding torch and weld me to death in this pit! "
Hao Ren held a bottle of 502 in his hand and gestured at the MDT. "Do you believe that I will really collapse if you say that again?"
The MDT was speechless.
"From now on, your spacecraft will be docked here for a long time." Raven 12345 followed Hao Ren excitedly, but in fact, she had been dozing off ever since the ship set sail. She only woke up now and pointed at the side of Kuiper Station on the holographic projection. "This special port area is specially prepared for inspectors and other official spacecraft of the Empire. Remember, your spacecraft enjoys all kinds of privileges in the mortal civilization, including the right of way in any sea route, the right of transit exemption, the right to use the stargate, and unlimited docking at any space station. But these privileges are not for you to bully others. You have to do things in accordance with the rules, such as strictly using the designated berths, not loitering on the main sea route for non-official purposes, not commandeering civilian ships and space station facilities for personal reasons, and strictly forbidding firing at neutral units. I don't want anyone to complain about this. I have sharp eyes, and I can see that you are a little too excited just now."
Hao Ren laughed when he heard this. He was even happier to hear Raven 12345 emphasize these issues in a serious manner. "Don't worry, you can trust me. But then again, there are so many privileges?"
Hao Ren was not quite sure what "the right of way in any sea route" and "transit exemption" meant, but just by the name, he knew that it was a very special privilege. He could not help but be a little curious.
"Because inspectors are the guarantee of the stable operation of the universe, and even the protector behind the scenes for the safe development of many civilizations. Don't be so surprised. You may think that what you do is trivial, but my arrangements actually have a deeper meaning. Let's not talk about this first. Anyway, behind power comes responsibility. Since you have privileges, you have to act in accordance with these privileges. At least, you have to be worthy of the respect of others. Look at this space station. Do you see the guidance spacecraft and port facilities in front? The staff there serve the empire with a sense of pride. At least, you have to be worthy of their overtime today. "
Raven 12345 had always been rough with her words. Her words immediately made Hao Ren's sense of responsibility feel heavy. He felt that his ordinary and lazy character even felt a little sorry for the staff of Kuiper Station and the 883 who gave him a free ride. Suddenly, he had the urge to rush out and kill the evil forces. This passion burned for five or six seconds. Then he heard Raven 12345 continued, "In fact, the main reason why people work overtime here is because Kuiper Station has a higher salary. One of the shareholders of this station is the tycoons of the Fairy Void Consortium. I just wanted to strengthen your sense of responsibility. I learned it from the secrets of business management..."
Hao Ren said, "... Can't you let my sense of responsibility burn a little longer?"
Raven 12345 smiled and said, "Anyway, just work hard. If you make any trouble, I'll strike you with lightning."
While they were talking, the spacecraft had already docked in a port in the special port area. This was a large facility similar to the structure of the fourth connection port. The interior space was so large that it made people wonder if there were four or five more spaceships in it. Hao Ren left the Petrachelys feeling unsatisfied. On the personnel platform at the port, he saw several staff members of the space station. One of them was an acquaintance: the guide girl.
"Mr. Inspector, congratulations on your safe return." The guide girl smiled and bowed to Hao Ren. Several staff standing behind her also greeted him. Hao Ren suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. He felt that he had not done anything big at all. He had just gone to an alien planet to pick up an egg, and this egg was more important than him...
"Hey, why didn't you say hello to me?" Raven 12345, on the other hand, jumped up and made a circle of light behind her head. "I'm the Goddess, I'm your Goddess!" she shouted as she jumped up and down.
"Yes, yes, Goddess, we saw you just now." The guide girl smiled at Raven 12345. "But we didn't know if you were going to play the incognito game this time, so we didn't dare to say anything. Come, everyone, let's do it together: Your Holiness Goddess, magical power is boundless, omnipotent, Dharma Chariot..."
Raven 12345 quickly stepped aside and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll just do the incognito visit. You guys pretend not to know me."
Hao Ren was quite surprised to see this scene. The evil goddess had this side to her? It seemed that she was quite familiar with the people of Kuiper Station. Hao Ren was more and more curious about Raven 12345's daily life.
At this time, an old man with white hair and beard came to Hao Ren. He looked very old, but he was very energetic. He was wearing a neat blue uniform. He shook hands with Hao Ren and said, "Mr. Inspector, I'm the station master of this space station. You can call me Dan Moss. I was busy with work and didn't have time to greet you."
As he said that, the old man pointed to the guide girl next to him. "This is my granddaughter, Lulu. You've met her."
"Well said, well said." Hao Ren shook the old man's hand hard. He felt that the old man had a very strange temperament. Before he could ask, Raven 12345 introduced, "Dan Moss used to be the commander of the Imperial Servant Army. He came from the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community. He was killed in a fierce battle. After he was resurrected, he left the army and became the station master here. You can get to know him. You may need him for future missions."
Hao Ren listened to Raven's natural introduction and was a little confused. "Killed? Resurrected? "
"I was killed four times. The fourth time, I barely managed to survive." The old station master did not seem to care about the problem at all. "I fought with the Xi Ling Apostles. It's normal to die a few times. But they said that if I were to die again, they might not be able to save me. They forced me to retire. Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the affairs of the Empire. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know. "
Hao Ren was stunned. He could only nod and repeat the two words mechanically. "Well said, well said..."
An old man who had died four times. Can you believe it?!
