Chapter 126 126. Black Tower

It is divided into three parts, the upper main control module, the middle level satellite platform, and the lower flow module.

The three floors are not a whole. I heard that the original design and construction engineers completed the upper part first, and the other two floors were spliced ​​together later.

As you can imagine, the satellite platform is an extremely critical and important part connecting the main control module and the flow module. Once the satellite platform is destroyed, the upper and lower floors will be separated.

However, the original designers had already considered this, so through a specially developed system, the upper, middle and lower layers were firmly "tied" together, making the three almost integrated.

Even if one day they really separate, there is no need to panic too much.

Because the three can operate independently, but... there will be failures in some parts of the satellite platform.

Why do you say that? In fact, there is a closed cabin at the end of the upper and lower floors, just at the end of the basic cabin.

Its shape is oval and columnar, and half of the space is the main energy power bank of the black tower, but the star platform does not have this.

If the Black Tower is a human being, then the energy power bank is the place that provides food for its body.

It goes without saying how important food is to people, and the same is true for the energy power bank for the Black Tower.

Because the importance reaches 100%, the defense capability in this part is hundreds of times that of other places, and the construction materials used are always the most advanced and top-notch.

If a war really breaks out in the Black Tower in the future, and other parts are blown to pieces, the energy power bank may still be intact.

In addition, Black Tower energy technology has been continuously optimized and improved, mainly for the energy power bank.

Of course, maintenance is a must!

Professionals are sent for minor repairs every ten interstellar years and major overhauls every fifty years, just to ensure that there are no problems at all.

But to be honest, even if the star platform does not have a life supply station-an energy bank, it will not have much impact.

After all, as mentioned before, it is just a place to dock interstellar navigation tools, equivalent to a large platform, and has no other purpose.

You say that the Star Tower is important, but it is far less important than the upper and lower levels; you say that it is not important, but it is the key to connecting the upper and lower levels, and it is also the most important and concentrated place to receive outsiders.

It is quite appropriate to say that all three are indispensable.

But the most functional part of the black tower is the main control cabin and the flow cabin; both include everything from the military, government and civilian aspects, covering a very wide range.

The first purpose is military protection. As the first line of security defense for Phantom Star, its military strength, weapons reserves, and scientific and technological capabilities are absolutely top-notch.

Secondly, it is the largest entertainment venue, providing food, clothing, housing, transportation, and indispensable spiritual food for interstellar people.

In addition, it is also one of the main places where tasks are issued, providing many gold diggers, hunters, mercenaries, etc. with a way to earn funds.

It can be seen from this that the Black Tower plays a decisive role in Xingyuan, and other buildings are completely incomparable to it.

In fact, its scale is beyond the scene in front of you. Next to the other seven main stars, there is a small "black tower" respectively.

These seven "black towers" are also space stations, but they only have auxiliary functions. Of course, they cannot be compared with the main space station. Their functions are only military protection and have no other uses.

Through radio waves, magnetic fields and light waves, they are connected to the main space station, forming a huge starry sky protective circle, surrounding the Emperor Star and Fantasy Star in the middle.

The safety measures of the Black Tower series, coupled with the natural starry sky barrier "None", protect the Magic Star from 360 degrees without blind spots.

This kind of protection is simply terrifying!

.

The starship is much closer to the Black Tower. The entire scale of it could be seen at the moment, but now only a small part can be seen.

A series of small fighters, patrol planes, and mechas with a metallic luster passed by the window at high speed. Wen Yan withdrew his gaze and asked Ling to sit on the sofa in the rest area not far away.

He took a sip of the drink placed on the coffee table, and then looked out the window.

The viewing window in the rest area is much larger than the lobby outside, so the area that can be seen is much wider, but the part of the building that is visible is still very small.

At this time, the starship is traveling upwards, and it is going to the star platform to temporarily park for a while, because most of the passengers on this starship are coming for the Black Tower, and they will not go to the Magic Star for the time being.

If it weren't for sending them off, this starship would not have gone to the star platform, but would have sailed directly to the Phantom Star.

Because the star platform at this time is probably very crowded, the staff of the star platform may arrange a more hidden stopping point for the starship, and then the captain will have to search carefully.

But passengers are God, and you still have to go where you need to go...and of course, you still need to make the money you need to earn.

This is always the smartest, most pertinent, most convincing, and most irrefutable truth.

The key is who will have trouble with money!

Wen Yan glanced at the young man next to him and saw that he was still looking at the building outside the window, but there was no curiosity or shock in his eyes, but a kind of inquiry and consideration in his eyes.

At that moment, she was very sure that the other party had entered the black tower and might have stayed there for a long time.

Perhaps the first place the other party looked for after escaping from the institute and leaving the Magic Star was here.

She guessed that the main reason was that the Black Tower had many and strict prohibitions. For example, on the Black Tower, all forms of activities that were detrimental to the interests of others were refused. Violators would be severely punished.

Although she was thinking this, Wen Yan did not ask the boy. She glanced at the time and saw that there were still fifty-three minutes left before the end of this voyage.

After replying to a few friends, I turned off my computer, and then looked out the window again; my eyes were filled with neon lights, and I couldn't see any starry sky in the background.

The main reason for this situation is that there is not only the Black Tower, but also many relay stations of different sizes and shapes scattered around it.

It is so densely packed that it looks like a large city in the universe from a distance.

It incorporates rich technological elements and attracts everyone's attention. No matter how many times he passes by it or sees it, Wen Yan can't help but marvel at it and acknowledge this incredible human technological civilization.

Perhaps, no one can see its majestic scale and remain unmoved; after all, it is so beautiful and shocking!

Just looking at it from a distance can make people feel so excited that they suddenly become a little mute who cannot speak, or a little stutterer who stumbles when speaking.

Sure enough, no matter in that era, human beings will always be the most complex contradiction - small yet great, weak yet tenacious.

Through your own hands, you create one unimaginable miracle after another! There is no best, only better.

This is the most true portrayal of human beings.

.

At this moment, the Black Tower is operating normally as usual, accepting countless outsiders from all over the world.

Although the speed of the starship was not as fast as the fighter jet passing by the window, it was still very fast. After ten minutes, it arrived at the star platform and docked.

Amidst the bursts of sweet announcements, most of the passengers disembarked from the starship one after another, and the lively hall suddenly became deserted.

Wen Yan was still sitting in her original position. Since the starship was high enough, she couldn't see the nearby situation through the windows, so she couldn't help but look far away.

Everywhere you look, there is nothing but people. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are crowds of people.

They dress in different ways, each with their own unique style and characteristics.

Not surprisingly, Wen Yan also saw many foreigners in the crowd. She knew certain races and had read about them in books before; but some were completely unfamiliar to her.

He tried to look through the crowd to the edge on the other side, but he couldn't do it at all. It was impossible to estimate the size of the star platform with the naked eye. It was really terrifyingly big.

I want to look up at the top of the star platform, which is the part where the upper main control cabin is connected to the star platform. However, the window is too small and can only show a small section of the wall made of alloy glass.

Wen Yan thought about it and finally gave it up. After all, she didn't really want to watch it.

Besides, the days are still long, so I can take some time to go around in the future, so don’t rush this moment and a half.

But the next second, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind; looking at Zero, who had withdrawn his gaze at some point, she asked him:

"Want to go down and have a look?"

Ling looked up at her with a thoughtful expression on his face. After a while, he replied seriously, "I don't want to. But if Wen Yan wants to, I can."

His words instantly blocked everything Wen Yan wanted to say in his heart. The fingers on his thighs subconsciously nodded, shook his head, and said, "If that's the case, then that's it."

The young man replied quickly, his voice was small and slightly hoarse, but he spoke every word very clearly, "Well, okay...I will listen to Wen Yan."

Then, the two fell silent again, and the surroundings once again fell into silence and silence, which was in sharp contrast to the bustle outside the rest area.

However, neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with this atmosphere.

How to say it after all?

Of the two of them, one talks little, while the other only speaks when asked. However, the taciturn one is Jiang Zidi...

Obviously at this time, there is really a need for someone to be active!

The reason is very simple, that is, the atmosphere between the two is too cold, and passers-by may be "frozen to death" if they are not careful.

.

Ten minutes later, all the passengers who were about to get off the starship had left, and the hatches were closed. With only tens of thousands of people left, the starship finally set foot on the road to the Phantom Star.

The black tower gradually fell behind him, and Wen Yan just watched quietly. It became smaller and smaller, until it looked like only a small house.

At this time, compared with the starship, it has become an extremely small existence. It is really magical...

It was clear that at the previous moment, the starship was just a small black dot compared to it, not even one ten thousandth of it.

Wen Yan withdrew his gaze and stopped looking. At this time, another planet with a faint soft light appeared in front of him, half in daylight and half in late night.

The place where the starship goes directly is on the late night side, because the star port of Phantom Star is near the city center, and the city center is now on the dark side.

Taking a step closer to the surface of the Huanxing Planet, still far away from the atmosphere, Wen Yan glanced at the daytime half.
