章節 5: Chapter 5: Zhu Tian Ruins Market - Cang Qiong (Please follow)
```
The reason is simple: It is now afternoon, and there are less than 20 hours until the assembly time tomorrow morning. Once the spatial gate launcher is activated, the spatial gate deployed will last for 24 hours.
In other words, if he opens the Ruins Market now, there will be a conflict with the exploration of the Alien Star Domain scheduled for tomorrow morning.
As the Ruins Market Lord, he could absolutely control the Ruins Market, and as long as no First Rank or higher beings appear, he can completely maintain order. But all of this is predicated on his presence within the Ruins Market.
If he were to leave halfway through, there's no telling how chaotic the entire Ruins Market space would become.
Besides, he still has many things to prepare for now; tomorrow marks the first exploration of the Shattered Starry Sea, so he must be fully prepared.
Moreover, he still has quite a few ideas about the Ruins Market beneath his feet that he needs to verify one by one.
No sooner said than done, Song Chi used the Ruins Market token to enter and exit several times, each time carrying different items with him.
Water bottles, backpacks, chairs...
After ten minutes, he had his first answer: Anything he could lift and hold in his hands could be brought into this Ruins Market space. Conversely, items that exceeded his ability to carry could not be brought in.
Having reached this conclusion, he quickly walked to a previously visited stall area, one of the few vacant areas in the Ruins Market. Even though a 10x10 space was not that large, it was more than sufficient for a Spectral Shuttle, which did not exceed 7 meters in length.
That's right, this time Song Chi was attempting to see if he could summon a Spectral Shuttle within the Ruins Market.
Under his full control, spectral energy rapidly converged towards the space between his eyebrows.
"Hmm?"
Feeling the movement at his brow, Song Chi's heart filled with joy; he had successfully opened the Ancestral Torch.
Soon, a ray of light shot out from between his eyebrows, and then the compact Spectral Shuttle appeared out of thin air in the vacant area before him.
"You can summon the Spectral Shuttle within the Ruins Market!!"
With this result, Song Chi's excitement was uncontrollable.
Thus, not only could he enter the Ruins Market in the event of danger, using it as a lifeline, but the many ideas he had also seemed to have quite a bit of room for maneuver.
What is the most troublesome issue for a Torch Warship when exploring the Alien Star Domain?
Many people would probably say "alien civilization," because a strong encounter with an Alien Species almost always results in the destruction of the warship and loss of life.
But in reality, that's not the case; the actual problem that "every" Torch Warship captain agonizes over is the warship's storage space. The physical size of the warship is fixed, and naturally, there's a limit to what it can carry.
Because of this limitation, every captain has to meticulously calculate before they begin exploring the Alien Star Domain and again when they are about to return from their exploration in order to utilize every inch of space in the cargo hold to its maximum.
As a result, large mechanical equipment like the Tiger-type Floating Land Mining Cart, Hornet-class combat drones, and the Land Warfare-type Exploration Robot are generally difficult to bring along.
After all, even if they are taken to the Alien Star Domain and there is a significant harvest, the return journey becomes a problem: should those bulky items be brought back, or should they be discarded in order to make room for the harvested resources?
These pieces of equipment aren't cheap, and if they're simply abandoned, it would be fine if the resources brought back are of high value—earning perhaps only half the profit. But it would be regrettable if the value of the harvested resources ends up being less than the value of the abandoned equipment.
Yet if they're not discarded, the Torch Warship only has so much space, so how many resources can it really bring back?
Therefore, this has always been an unsolvable conflict, and all Torch Warship captains suffer headaches over this issue.
Because of this, the prices for spatial folding/expansion components for warships have been driven up to astronomical levels. Even white quality spatial components for warships often sell for the price of blue or even purple components, and they're still priceless in the market.
Just before this, on his way home, Song Chi was going over the small space of the Spectral Shuttle over and over again, hoping to make the perfect plan before deploying to the Alien Star Domain tomorrow. But now it seems there's no need to fret over these matters anymore.
The Ruins Market space, where a Torch Warship can be freely summoned, is practically a perfect backup storage space, and a very large one at that.
Although there are restrictions on carrying items, large objects cannot be brought in by an individual. But the Torch Warship is different; it can be stored in the Ancestral Torch. With that, there's a lot of room for maneuver.
It's entirely possible to store the necessary large machinery in a Torch Warship, then store the warship in the Ancestral Torch, and once inside the Ruins Market, summon the Torch Warship. This way, the limit on individual item carrying can be perfectly bypassed.
Plus, during future explorations of the Alien Star Domain, the same strategy can be applied. Using the Torch Warship as a vessel, resources that normally couldn't be taken can be stored in the Ruins Market, significantly enhancing the harvest from each exploration.
```
Of course, all these ideas still hinged on one assumption, that after he was dispatched to the Alien Star Domain, he would still be able to freely open and enter the Ruins Market; otherwise, everything would be off the table.
In the midst of rapidly swirling thoughts, a sudden alert sound brought Song Chi back to reality.
[Please name the Ruins Market as soon as possible!]
Hearing this, he remembered that there was indeed such a matter, and it was not just the Ruins Market beneath his feet that needed a name, but also the Spectral Shuttle before him.
Shaking his head to suppress the multitude of thoughts in his mind, Song Chi shifted his attention to the Ruins Market and the Spectral Shuttle in front of him.
After pondering for about ten seconds, two words suddenly popped into his mind.
"Zhu Tian."
In his past life, he had read not a small number of Xianxia novels, and since the Ruins Market beneath his feet could connect to various Star Domains in the Shattered Starry Sea at random, the name "Zhu Tian Ruins Market" couldn't be more suitable.
[Zhu Tian Ruins Market, naming successful.]
After the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, it was the turn of the Spectral Shuttle, but this time it tormented Song Chi for quite a while.
"Starry Sea!"
[Sorry, that name already exists, please choose another.]
"Crossing!"
[Sorry, that name…]
"Galaxy."
[Sorry…]
...
Due to the large base number of Torch Warships within Torch Human Civilization, many names had already been registered.
"Shenzhou!"
[Sorry…]
"Cang Qiong."
[Cang Qiong is not yet in use. Are you sure you want to name it "Cang Qiong"?]
"Kunlun…"
"Oh? Is it available?"
His tone paused, and then Song Chi immediately clicked confirm.
Seeing the naming was successful, he shifted his gaze to start examining the specific attributes of his Spectral Shuttle.
He hadn't been able to look at all the attributes of the Spectral Shuttle still because of the interruption by his old classmate, Yang Minghui.
