Chapter 54, 1984, I Want to Talk to You (Part 1)
In a civilized society, there is always naked barbaric. The gentleman and decent nobles may conspire to eat people when they are on the dark room. They seem to be righteous and righteous on the screen to denounce the dark side of society, and propose humanized reforms, positive and kind politicians, but behind them can use their fat bodies to press on the petite prostitute like a primitive pig. The nobles with rich family, extraordinary conversation and elegant manners may just throw a person who offended him and feed them to the dog.
In the brightly lit metropolis, there are always wandering beggars in the sewer. The slums in the smoky areas are filled with alcohol, drugs, and robbery. People are wary of each other and are full of malicious intentions.
Where there is light, there is darkness.
And the ignorant darkness breeds colorful sins, which are always more spectacular than imagined
In the public universe of the gray area outside the borders of the Great Eagle Empire, there are places where people's vision and light cannot reach. There are no fewer strange things growing here than other dark areas.
Space Station No. 1984 is the closest and famous central space station outside the area occupied by the three major air pirate forces in the New South Star Universe.
The reason why this space station became the largest cosmic relay airport outside the western border of the Great Eagle Empire is that there are no other supply planets and no indigenous residents on this leap channel that runs through several necessary roads in the public area. This space station naturally became the only place to relay smugglers, mercenaries, treasure hunters, small group thieves, and passengers.
Of course, there is another important function here, that is, the largest casino outside the border of the empire, the largest casino
The one who presided over and over managed this space station is also the famous Lexus family. Because the lone wild goose is located on this central channel of the universe and guarding this space station, Lexus is completely the local emperor. He has always been called the "Lexus Immigration Bureau" by the space station No. 1984. He looks like a landlord who occupys this airspace alone.
Because of the special geographical environment, every time people who pass through this public central channel go through a jump that does not have to be connected to the village or the shop after several jump points, they will be in a situation where supplies are urgently needed and material consumption is severe. If they continue to move forward, there will be no supply stations in the subsequent three consecutive jump channels. Therefore, most people can only choose to enter the only space station in this public channel for replenishment and rest.
The most important thing is that there is an unwritten rule here. Anyone who has to pass through the space of Lexus' space station must enter the space station to replenish supplies and pay enough tolls before they can be released.
If some ships with national military background pass through, the 1984 space station is as normal as an ordinary supply port. However, those long-distance warships with sufficient supply do not need to stay in a space station at all. There is no problem passing through this airspace.
But if your ships are just some passenger ships, or small ships without any background, if you try not to pass here, then the Lexus Space Station will not be polite. When you look at these small ships passing by, the assault ships will be launched and tolls will be stopped. If anyone can pass through the public airspace, it is reasonable to force the break through. At first glance, it seems that Axiom has gained the upper hand. However, the last thing that passes by those passenger ships and merchant ships is the only battle ships of Lexus, who open the gun barrel behind them with a sinister smile, shooting the cold light of death.
A floating debris of ships six thousand kilometers away from the space station, and a cemetery made up of human bodies and corpses, demonstrates the final fate of these merchant ships who dare to reason.
While the three major air pirate forces in the New South Star Space were fighting endlessly, Lexus's space station No. 1984 was still not harassed by the air pirate dispute.
The small group of air pirates knew very well that in this space station, which was called "Lexus Immigration Bureau", the "Immigration Guards" of Lexus was stationed. Its strength was no weaker than any of the three major air pirate forces famous in the New South Star Universe. The idea of rashly making this space station is to seek death.
So even if some young mercenaries don't like this kind of Lexus family's monopoly of the public universe, they can only pay the toll because they are alone and have no power. Those who pass by often can also buy monthly passes and annual passes at Lexus. For some treasure hunters who are tired of running around in this area, if they cannot bear the trouble of Lexus' ships, they can only buy such monthly or annual tickets. The price of a monthly ticket is approximately between 10,000 pounds and 20,000 pounds per ship size. The annual ticket starts at 10,000 pounds. This price increases every year, and it depends on Lexus' mood.
Some treasure hunters work hard for a month, and after paying the toll, they can only earn a little surplus and only spend money on food and clothing. Some people cannot bear the high-priced travel expenses and can only take a detour and take risks through some interstellar medium areas of chaotic gravel. They are either robbed or sent their lives on the gravel belt. They leave behind some orphans and widows on remote planets, looking at the sky in a daze, waiting for the return of their fathers in the unlucky industry.
In the deep universe, a small passenger ship had just finished its leap and appeared in the airspace of the 1984 space station.
The space station hanging alone in the empty space hovered in the dark universe, like a small city.
On the space station, the beautiful woman pattern composed of neon lights shines, and the laser lights keep shooting out, creating a row of entertaining atmosphere.
There are not many passenger ships entering here, but there are also many. Although we know that the space station is full of evil deeds, some private ships and passengers passing through this airspace have no choice but to surrender.
When the small passenger ship just appeared, the patrolling Lexus boat drove over, and the signal lights for communication flashed wildly.
The signal was connected, and the other party was a little impatient to hear the news, "This is the "Lexus Immigration Bureau". Are you going to Hong Kong to replenish supplies or pass? Any pass unit must pay the toll"
This is a cargo ship that can only accommodate six people, with cargo in the rear and six passengers in the front. After scanning the passenger cabin, the life in the space station guarding boat was full of joy. This is a typical small passenger merchant ship without any armed forces. There are a few self-defense firearms in the passenger cabin, but these are just drizzles.
"We want to enter Hong Kong to replenish supplies."
"Replenishment in the port?" The man in the escort boat showed a hint of joy. "Then follow us and guide strangers to the port. I hope we don't need to remind you, don't try to force yourself to pass the barrier. You can't afford the consequences, come with us."
They no longer have any interest in charging tolls, and as long as passenger ships can be allowed to enter the port to replenish supplies, patrol escort boats can get a share of the latter situation. Of course, they most hope is the latter situation. Therefore, there are many patrol boats that threaten to intimidate the passing merchant ships and allow them to enter the port to replenish supplies. However, most people who know the rules here are not idiots. They are very clear about the rules of entering the space station. When they enter the space station, they are easily lost. There are various gamblings, expensive expenses, and surprisingly high costs. Some people lose money overnight and lose everything. Some people also care.
I went in with a sum of cash, but I could never find anyone the next day. Only ships that really need supplies will enter and replenish, but the price of fuel and materials is often more than ten times that of the outside world. Experienced merchant ships are very clear that as long as they pay the toll, they will still let you pass. This is the rule of Lexus. After all, the wool must be slowly cut. If the sheep are killed in one breath, no matter how unique the geographical location is here, no one dares to come. It’s just this toll, which is often three to five thousand pounds, not a small amount.
Sally is a mercenary. She and her brother Hero have traveled around the world in the early years and have accumulated some fame. Because of her beautiful appearance and full of vitality, she is loved by many mercenaries and is known as the flower of mercenaries in the nearby airspace.
But Sally still remembers the unforgettable experience she and her brother Herro were here a year ago.
They happened to help a large company maintain the order of mining on a remote mining planet. After the project was over, the large company was quite generous and gave her and her brother Hero a large amount of employment salary.
That was the first big money they earned in their poor careers.
Her brother, Herro, suggested that they use part of the money to enjoy life. She agreed when she was excited, so they passed by the space station when they returned and stayed in it for a night.
However, in the middle of the night that day, Sally's door was brutally knocked open. Several heavily armed men took her out and told her that his brother owed a lot of money in the casino and wanted her to use the money to redeem people... If she had no money, she would use her body to make money.
Sally couldn't believe that the rich money they had earned with great effort was squandered by their brother... When they saw her brother Herro, Herro was beaten to death with blood.
Shero said that she just wanted to play a coin gambling machine and played one or two games, but she didn't expect that she was pulled to the betting table by accident by someone. She once won chips that were higher than their hiring salary. However, she didn't expect that her fortune would suddenly turn sharply. After just a few games, she actually lost Yu Jingjing and owed a lot of money. As a result, even if Sally took out all the savings of the brother and sister, she couldn't pay it back. When Sally was about to be detained by Lexus, she didn't expect Herro knelt down in front of Lexus and begged for mercy, saying that she would work hard to offset the money for him, on the condition that she would let his sister go.
Sally left the 1984 space station heart-wrenchingly. But her brother was detained in this powerful place. After that, a girl, Sally, almost lived a walking corpse-like life, killed people who coveted her physical beauty, and protected herself tremblingly, with the purpose of earning enough money to redeem her brother, but the money was astronomical. Her meager employment income would probably take decades to redeem her brother...
At that time, the dispute between the three major air pirate forces changed drastically, and Redil won all the way, taking over the remnants of the two major air pirates in one fell swoop, integrating the power. Once the integration is completed, I am afraid that Redil will be the first to stabilize his dominance in this airspace. Sally felt that as an individual, she was insignificant under the general trend. Under the upcoming cleaning, it was difficult for her to compete with Redil's air pirates, so she decided to join.
Anyway, she is already like a walking corpse, and she lives just to earn enough money to save her brother in her life. She doesn't care whether she is a pirate who is robbing her family.
But unexpectedly, he gritted his teeth and threw away the principle of joining Reddill's air pirate. Sally thought that his soul would be defiled and became an air pirate, but Reddill announced that they had changed their careers... They are no longer despicable air pirates, but "Lin Hai Corps" and "Linzi Camp"
Although Sally didn't understand what kind of team this was, after she came into contact with Radil, she realized that the leader of the air thief was not as violent and terrifying as the rumored air thief. He used a scientific, developed and formal way to create and integrate a force that rose in this field - "Linziying"
Sally's combat skills, experience and ability quickly made him a celebrity in the newly built army... He received attention and was responsible for commanding the female soldiers in Linzi Camp.
This time, with the "Young Master", Radill and others, he came to the 1984 space station because Sally had been here before and knew very well about the situation inside the space station.
"Linziying" has to carry out the planned tasks through this channel, and Lexus' space station is a hurdle that cannot be avoided.
