Chapter 5: The Multiverse Marketplace - The Azure Sky
Chapter 5: The Multiverse Marketplace - The Azure Sky
The reason was simple: it was already afternoon, and the assembly time for tomorrow morning was less than 20 hours away. Once the spatial gate deployment platform was activated, the spatial gate would remain open for 24 hours.
In other words, if he opened the marketplace now, it would conflict with the scheduled extraterrestrial domain exploration tomorrow morning.
As the master of the marketplace, Song Chi had absolute control over it, provided that no creatures of the first tier or higher appeared. The order of the marketplace could be maintained as long as he remained within it. However, if he left midway, the entire marketplace could descend into chaos.
Additionally, he still had many preparations to make for the first extraterrestrial sea exploration tomorrow. He needed to ensure everything was in perfect order.
Moreover, he had several ideas about the marketplace beneath his feet that he needed to verify.
Deciding to get to work, Song Chi began entering and exiting the marketplace multiple times with different items in hand each time.
A water bottle, a backpack, a chair...
After ten minutes, he had his first answer: anything he could carry and hold in his hands could be brought into the marketplace. Conversely, items that exceeded his carrying capacity could not be brought in.
With this conclusion, he quickly made his way to the stall area he had previously visited. This was one of the few vacant areas in the marketplace, and even though it was only a 10x10 space, it was more than enough for a 7-meter-long Psionic Shuttle.
Indeed, Song Chi's goal was to see if he could summon the Psionic Shuttle within the marketplace.
With full concentration, he directed his psionic energy to gather at his third eye.
"Hmm?"
Feeling the movement at his third eye, Song Chi's heart leaped with joy. He had successfully opened the Flame Ancestor Acupoint.
Soon, a beam of light shot from his third eye, and a small Psionic Shuttle materialized in the vacant area in front of him.
"I can summon the Psionic Shuttle inside the marketplace!!"
This discovery filled Song Chi with uncontrollable excitement.
Now, not only could he enter the marketplace in times of crisis for safety, but many of the ideas he had been considering also seemed feasible.
Typically, what was the most challenging problem for Flame Flyships during extraterrestrial domain exploration?
For this question, many would say "alien civilizations," as encountering powerful alien creatures often led to the destruction of the ship and the death of the crew.
However, the reality was different. The true headache for every Flame Flyship captain was the storage space of the ship. The size of the ship limited the amount of items it could carry.
Due to this limitation, every captain had to meticulously plan and optimize the use of the ship's hold, both before and after the exploration, to maximize space.
As a result, large mechanical devices, such as the Raging Tiger-type Floating Land Mining Vehicle, the Hornet-class Combat Drone, and the Land Combat-4 Exploration Robot, were often difficult to carry.
Even if they were brought along, once a significant discovery was made in the extraterrestrial domain, the return trip became problematic. Should they bring these large devices back or leave them behind to free up space for the resources they had gathered?
These devices were not cheap. If they were discarded, the value of the resources brought back would need to be high enough to justify the loss. Otherwise, the expedition could end up being a significant financial loss.
On the other hand, if they kept the devices, the limited space on the Flame Flyship would mean they could bring back fewer resources.
This has always been an intractable problem, one that has given all the captains of the ember fleet ships a massive headache.
Due to this, the prices of spatial folding and expansion components for ships have been sky-high. Even white-quality spatial components often sell for the price of blue or even purple components, and they are often considered priceless.
Just before this, on his way home, Song Chi had been meticulously allocating the limited space on the Energetic Shuttle, trying to create the perfect plan before tomorrow's deployment to the alien star domain. Now, it seems he doesn't need to worry too much about these details.
The ability to freely summon the ember fleet ship within the market space is almost a perfect backup storage solution, and it's a huge one at that.
While there are restrictions on carrying items, large objects cannot be brought in by individuals, the ember fleet ship is different. It can be stored in the ember ancestral aperture, which greatly expands the operational space.
He can first store the necessary large machinery in the ember fleet ship, then store the ship itself in the ember ancestral aperture. Once he enters the market, he can summon the ember fleet ship, thus bypassing the restrictions on carrying items as a single individual.
Moreover, in the future, while exploring alien star domains, he can use the same method. By using the ember fleet ship as a carrier, he can store resources that would otherwise be impossible to carry into the market, significantly increasing the yield of each exploration.
Of course, all these ideas hinge on one premise: that he can still freely access and enter the market after being deployed to the alien star domain. Otherwise, everything is moot.
As his thoughts raced, a sudden notification pulled Song Chi back to reality.
[Please name the market as soon as possible!]
Hearing this, he remembered this task. Not only the market beneath his feet, but the Energetic Shuttle in front of him also needed a name.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Song Chi focused on the market and the Energetic Shuttle.
After a few seconds of contemplation, two words popped into his mind.
"Zhu Tian."
In his previous life, he had read many fantasy novels. Since the market beneath his feet can randomly connect to various star domains in the fragmented star sea, "Zhu Tian Market" seemed like the perfect name.
[Zhu Tian Market, naming successful.]
After naming the Zhu Tian Market, it was the Energetic Shuttle's turn. This time, it took Song Chi quite a while to decide.
"Star Sea!"
[Sorry, this name is already in use. Please choose another.]
"Traverse!"
[Sorry, this name... ]
"Galaxy."
[Sorry... ]
...
Due to the vast number of ember fleet ships in the ember human civilization, many names had already been registered.
"Shenzhou!"
[Sorry... ]
"Canopy."
[Canopy has not been used. Do you want to name it "Canopy"?]
"Kunlun..."
"Hmm? It's available?"
Pausing for a moment, Song Chi quickly confirmed the name.
Seeing that the naming was successful, he shifted his gaze to check the specific attributes of the Energetic Shuttle.
Earlier, he had been interrupted by his teacher, Yang Minghui, and he hadn't had the chance to review the shuttle's full attributes.
[Name: Canopy]
