Chapter 1355: 1275, 170th Star Region Chapter 1355: 1275, 170th Star Region The Fige Hub's 170th Star Region was actually an artificial planet.
Considering the gravity factor, this artificial planet was created with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers, about 78% of Blue Star's diameter.
The gravity on the artificial planet was slightly less than that of Blue Star, so as Su Yu walked the streets, she definitely felt her body lightly floating.
This planet was located in the habitable zone of the Feige Star System, but due to distribution issues, its position was arranged on the outer edge of the habitable zone. It took about 650 days to orbit its star, comparable to Mars' orbit.
Basically, the numbering of star zones represents the construction time of that zone; the Fige Hub, starting from the first and second zones, densely built thousands of zones in space.
Of course, these star zones weren't all artificial planets; most of them were space cities.
Being on the fringe of the habitable zone, the 170th Star Region received very little starlight, and the average temperature was quite low.
Therefore, on the surface of this planet, a gray-black shell enveloped the entire sphere.
After entering the star zone, of course, the first thing Su Yu and Morning Star did was look up at the sky.
But the sky of the 170th Star Region was not the blue sky and white clouds of Blue Star; instead, it was a massive gray-black metallic shell.
It was this metallic shell that ensured the planet's average temperature.
Through greenhouse effects, matter-antimatter annihilation for energy, and a series of other methods, the planet's surface temperature was raised to around 14 degrees Celsius, suitable for all life to flourish and dwell.
Without this shell, the planet's nights would reach a frigid minus 143 degrees! No life could survive such a harsh environment.
Su Yu and Morning Star gazed up at the sky.
Seeing such a magnificent metal shell, they couldn't help but marvel.
It was a grand spectacle unimagined on Blue Star! It's hard to imagine what level of technological advancement was needed to create such a massive artificial planet and such a grand metallic shell!
As for the planet's surface, there were towering buildings that reached the clouds.
Su Yu and Morning Star looked around; they couldn't even see where the actual ground was.
The area they were in was a rather ordinary commercial street, but even this commercial street seemed to be two to three hundred meters from the real ground.
In the sky of the star zone, various types of flying vehicles swiftly shuttled back and forth.
Some flying vehicles were fish-shaped, some bird-shaped, and others butterfly-shaped. There were a myriad of designs, too numerous to mention. The only thing they had in common was their extreme speed, and they did not collide while shuttling through the sky.
All of this gave Su Yu and Morning Star the sensation of being in a science fiction movie! Everything was so shocking!
However, the real scene differed quite a bit from science fiction movies.
Science fiction movies from Blue Star liked to portray “cyberpunk” style future cities.
In cyberpunk cities, there were enormous steel jungles everywhere, with high-tech and low-quality life reflecting off each other.
But in the 170th Star Region it was completely different.
Su Yu looked around, and what met her eyes were colorful plants everywhere.
Plants covered the entire city; all skyscraper surfaces were thick with lush greenery, and even atop high-rise buildings, you could see hillsides, lakes, and forests.
The living conditions of the planet's residents were also very high. Guided by the hymn, every resident enjoyed a comfortable and happy life, unlike the lower-tier citizens of cyberpunk cities who could only rely on cheap protein to survive.
If cyberpunk cities were “high-tech, low-life,” then the 170th Star Region was squarely “high-tech, high-life,” with even the lower-class residents enjoying a high standard of living.
If it weren't for the sudden unrest that descended upon the entire Fige Hub, the residents here would still be living their bland yet comfortable lives.
Walking down the street, Su Yu and Morning Star were taking in everything around them.
They felt like country bumpkins, marveling at the highly advanced technology of the planet, just as Grandma Liu first entered the Grand View Garden.
Su Yu had shed his God Level robe, opting instead for a white short-sleeved shirt and deep blue jeans.
He particularly liked wearing this outfit when he was in college, but since starting work, he had stopped wearing short sleeves and switched to primarily wearing shirts.
Now, putting on a short-sleeved shirt and jeans again, Su Yu felt a sense of returning to his student days! He felt like the same young man, brimming with youth in his early twenties!
The passersby on the streets cast all sorts of looks at him.
Seeing Su Yu's odd attire, and then glancing at the cute little animal of unknown breed on his shoulder, the residents could tell that Su Yu was not a local, and that he must have come from some Native Planet in the Milky Way.
The residents just gave him a glance and moved on, much as the Chinese on Blue Star would look at foreigners on the street.
Cat Morning Star was lying on Su Yu's shoulder.
As she surveyed her surroundings, she communicated with Su Yu using spiritual power, “The residents here seem quite vigilant!”
“Yes, more than usually so,” Su Yu nodded in agreement.
Actually, this wasn't only noticed by Cat Morning Star; Su Yu was also acutely aware of it.
There was no difference between day and night in the 170th Star Region, and nearby blocks were enveloped in lights.
But walking down the street, Su Yu could clearly feel the strong vigilance and faint hostility from the surrounding residents, mixed with a touch of confusion.
“This probably has something to do with the riots that happened over the past two months,” Su Yu said. “Because of the unrest, residents are no longer living in harmony, instead, they are full of vigilance and hostility towards everything around them.
Because of this sudden change in the environment, they are filled with confusion and cannot see a future.”
“Maybe,” Morning Star sighed, “I would have preferred to see this planet in its former, harmonious state.”
“I'm afraid that's not possible, at least not in the short term.”
With that, Su Yu found a bench on the side of a commercial street and randomly sat down.
The commercial street was also shaded by green trees.
However, plants lining the streets appeared to have been untended for a long time, with branches and leaves chaos, and even fallen leaves scattered on the benches.
Su Yu picked up a leaf and studied it intently, lost in thought.
Seeing Su Yu's actions, Morning Star asked in his ear, “What are you thinking about?”
“I'm wondering what we should do next.” Su Yu sighed. “Given the current situation at the Fige Hub, it seems like our plans can't be carried out at all.”
“Uh, it does seem that way,” Morning Star agreed. “Given the current situation, the original plan is definitely not feasible; we have to find another way.”
“Which other way is viable?”
“How should I know? I'm just a little cat, after all.”
A man and his pet sat in silence on the bench in the commercial street, dazed.
In some ways, they were just as confused as the other passersby.
