The battleship's return journey was the same as its arrival.
Yan Xia needed to go to another place, a famous chaotic place in the Federation, where many lives without Federation identity were waiting. They were not subject to Federation laws and could freely apply genetic technology and exoskeleton mechanical modifications.
Many explorers called this place the Chaos Star Sea, a black belt.
When the light shines on the black belt, it will be revealed.
It took the battleship 59 days to reach this place, and Yan Xia saw countless space junk outside. This place was like a chaotic junkyard.
Some machines were exploring useful resources among the junk, and Yan Xia saw some races in the distance, looking at the battleship with fear.
What surprised Yan Xia the most was that there were humans here.
"Ella, have I given a lot of benefits to humans in the Federation?"
"Why are there still traces of humans here?"
Ella replied, "No matter how many benefits there are, they cannot reach everyone. The system shows that the number of humans has exceeded 273.1 billion, which is a huge number."
"Moreover, there will always be various situations. For example, humans can become interstellar pirates, and we cannot acknowledge their citizenship. Their descendants cannot enjoy the benefits."
There are many complicated situations.
Yan Xia didn't accept that there were humans in this chaotic place, but he felt that there should be.
"The Federation has such a place because I haven't done a good enough job."
He knew that he couldn't make the Human Federation into an Eden, but at least such a dark place shouldn't exist.
"Our destination is a place called the Death Star, right?"
Yan Xia sat at his private bar and took a sip of wine.
Ella became his bartender, and the black suit she was wearing looked very handsome.
"We're almost there, Yan Xia."
Yan Xia was startled, as he didn't know what kind of place his destination was. He had heard that what he was looking for could be found in this chaotic star field.
"But there shouldn't be any planets around here."
According to the information gathered, this was indeed the case.
"The Death Star is a star city made up of countless interstellar junk, and its core scale is not large, only 1,400 kilometres. If you count the surrounding area, we have already entered its range."
The junk outside was part of the Death Star.
"It seems that a lot has happened here." In such a remote place, interstellar junk usually comes from spaceships, and war is probably the theme here.
"That's right. This is the lair of interstellar pirates, and it's also a place that explorers like to visit. Some companies in the Federation also send people here to collect the information they want, and life companies can freely conduct large-scale life experiments here."
"This is an illegal place, Yan Xia. You shouldn't look at it with a normal perspective."
"There are many such areas on the border of the Federation, and the Death Star is one of the larger ones. Its existence can be traced back 3,000 years."
It has a long history.
"So why haven't we cleaned up this junkyard in such a long time?" Yan Xia was a little annoyed.
After all, he believed that the Civilized Federation should be as beautiful as the Water Commission everywhere, and this huge civilized system was ultimately his private property. He felt that his perspective was a bit narrow, as he only saw the Civilized Federation's many nooks and crannies.
But he was also clear that he had not created a welfare society, but a complex civilized system.
As the Federation becomes stronger, its star field will also become more vast. There will always be places that cannot be controlled, and there will always be darkness that civilization cannot illuminate. Even the legendary gods cannot truly be omniscient and omnipotent.
"The Death Star has arrived, Yan Xia!"
The battleship stopped in front of a star city.
In fact, calling it a star city was a bit of a stretch, as it was too chaotic and disorderly. As Ella said, this was just a pile of junk.
In front of the 120-kilometre-long battleship, the 1,400-kilometre-long Death Star still felt huge.
Yan Xia walked out.
He saw Lai Su Ju, who was leaning against the window looking at the starry sky outside, walking past him. A humanoid next to Lai Su Ju saluted him, and he waved his hand to say that it was unnecessary.
After walking for a while, he came to the battleship's research institute and happened to meet a scholar from the War Beast tribe.
He knew the other person.
"Baduo, can you help me get something?"
Yan Xia thought that what he wanted to get was quite big, so he let the War Beast carry it.
"Of course, Your Excellency. You came to this star field to do some research, right? Can I follow you?"
Baduo was very excited, as Yan Xia was a popular star in the current Federation. Even if he couldn't learn anything by following Yan Xia, he could still gain some knowledge.
The Civilized Federation's stars are sought after. Stars split into the sun, moon, and stars, which are all of humanity's understanding of the sky.
Therefore, only those who have truly made the Federation citizens admire them and made outstanding contributions to the Civilized Federation can be called stars.
As for singers, they are just singers, and actors are just actors. These entertainment professions are no longer related to stars in this era, no matter how high their income is or how much money they donate. They cannot be called philanthropists, let alone stars.
"I was just thinking about that."
At the same time, Yan Xia saw a small thing on Baduo's shoulder.
It seemed to be a Shore tribe.
Baduo quickly introduced, "This is the Shore tribe I brought onto the battleship. His name is Motuo Four, and I feel that he is very talented, so I took him as my apprentice."
"Can I bring him too?"
The most moe body difference.
The two of them didn't seem to be from the same dimension.
"It's up to you. We won't be staying here for long, and you can also move around freely. Just bring some mechanical soldiers, as it's very chaotic here."
What Yan Xia asked Baduo to get was a 2-ton machine.
If Baduo relied on his physical strength, it would be very difficult to carry, but with the mechanical exoskeleton, it was much easier. The mechanical exoskeleton had anti-gravity, and the added gravity was enough for Baduo to lift the machine with one finger.
The War Beast tribe's mechanical exoskeleton was made with high-quality materials, and the highest gravity limit Yan Xia remembered was 540,000 tons. They could carry a building and run without any problems.
This was still a light mechanical exoskeleton, and the heavy mechanical exoskeleton's gravity limit was 1.792 million tons.
The current liquid mechanical exoskeleton and the previous one had the same form, but the structure itself was completely different. The performance of the mechanical exoskeleton used by the army was also better than that of the ordinary citizens.
They went out of the battleship directly.
Yan Xia didn't bring any soldiers, as he was already very powerful, and the battleship provided him with energy protection. Even if the entire Death Star exploded, he would be unharmed.
When he went out of the battleship and stood on the Death Star, he saw the lives here. Most of them were strange, and many body parts had been modified into machines, and there were even pure mechanical lives.
Mechanical and humanoid lives, these lives were already very intelligent in the Federation, and treating them as lives was not excessive. However, in the Federation, they were restricted, but here, they had no restrictions.
"It's a bit like the taste of cyberpunk."
Yan Xia used to like cyberpunk in anime or games, but actually experiencing it was another matter, as the lives here had no freedom and no safety, and they didn't talk about what happiness was.
What was here was chaos and death.
Perhaps this was where the name Death Star came from.
