Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 24 Star Gate

One o'clock.

Ji Xinghuo opened his eyes in bed. He fell asleep early at ten o'clock in the evening. Although he only slept for three hours, he was still full of energy.

He didn't turn on the light and ate a midnight snack in the dark to fill his stomach.

Then he put on a pair of casual training clothes, put on his backpack, and quietly walked out of the apartment door. Instead of taking the elevator, he took the stairs down to the parking lot.

Along the way, Ji Xinghuo avoided the cameras as much as possible.

Through magnetic field induction in the past few days, he knew the positions of several swordsmen arranged by the Sword Bureau inside and outside the building very well, and figured out their shift time.

These swordsmen are not here to monitor themselves, their purpose is to protect themselves and wait for suspicious characters with a very low probability of appearing.

This kind of tracking work is extremely boring.

Even if the swordsmen of the Sharp Sword Bureau have extremely high quality and concentration, they will inevitably relax under intense surveillance for three or four days in a row.

The further back you get, the less focused the swordsman becomes.

Especially in the early hours of the morning.

Ji Xinghuo got on a maglev car in the parking lot. The owner of this car also lived in the building. Ji Xinghuo knew him and borrowed it for a day at a much higher price. Last night, he parked the car at Ji Xinghuo's request. Here, I gave the unlock code.

After entering the destination in the navigation, the maglev car quickly drove out of the parking lot.

Ji Xinghuo was sitting in the back seat, and the opaque car window blocked his figure, but his magnetic field induction locked a room on the third floor.

There are two swordsmen inside, who are responsible for monitoring vehicles entering and exiting the building.

The car left smoothly and the two men did not react.

Ji Xinghuo had a smile on his face and looked out the window. The maglev car had already driven onto the superconducting highway and was speeding south.

After a while.

Ji Xinghuo arrived at "Chang'an West Station", got off the bus and let the maglev car return automatically.

The infrastructure of the Asia-Pacific Community is very complete, and all modes of transportation are very convenient. Citizens generally have three choices for traveling. For intra-city commuting and inter-city travel within 1,000 kilometers, maglev vehicles traveling on superconducting highways are enough.

If you travel more than 1,000 kilometers, you can take the "vacuum tube maglev train", which people are accustomed to calling the vacuum train.

If you want to go abroad or the distance exceeds 5,000 kilometers, flying at supersonic speed is the fastest way.

"Chang'an West Station" is a vacuum station.

Since the 1980s, the Asia-Pacific Community has invested countless financial and resources to build a domestic vacuum pipeline transportation system with a total mileage of more than 1 million kilometers.

Supporting vacuum stations are located throughout the ACP, starting from Hokkaido in the east, to the Caspian Sea in the west, to the Arctic Ocean in the north, and to the equatorial Java Island in the south. Every city with a population of more than 500,000 has at least one vacuum station. Larger cities have stations. The number is also greater.

Ji Xinghuo walked into Chang'an West Station and bought the ticket on his mobile phone.

Destination: Chaka Star Gate!

A few minutes later, he boarded the train successfully.

Even in the early morning, the carriage was more than half occupied, and most of the passengers had the same destination as Ji Xinghuo.

The seat next to Ji Xinghuo was empty, and he looked out the window quietly.

The train had not started yet, and he could see the situation in the station. He scanned every passenger coming in from the ticket gate, trying to find the swordsman who might be hiding among them.

But no.

Finally, the carriage door closed and an announcement sounded.

Ji Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief, and then he noticed that the seat beneath him shook slightly, and the train had started.

The scene outside the window quickly receded, and the speed of the train became faster and faster. In an instant, the train entered a closed vacuum pipe located underground, and the window switched to a screen, making it impossible to see the outside.

The current speed of the train is displayed on the screen.

The numbers jumped rapidly and kept rising. In the blink of an eye, they turned from two digits to three digits, and soon broke through to four digits!

In the end, the speed stabilized at around 1,800 kilometers per hour!

Although the displayed speed still jumps from time to time, the speed change range is very small, no more than 30 kilometers.

The entire acceleration process is very quiet and very gentle. Passengers in the car feel the thrust generated by the acceleration, but it does not affect their activities.

Ji Xinghuo is no stranger to vacuum trains and has ridden them many times.

But this time it was a whole new experience.

In magnetic field induction, the track system under the train is a huge magnetic field. Its "magnetic induction intensity" is second only to the earth's magnetic field, with a difference of about ten times. Even so, the strength of the magnetic levitation system is five orders of magnitude stronger than the human body's magnetic field!

The magnetic field mapped in the brain, the magnetic levitation orbit system shines like the sun, and even creates a "dazzling" feeling.

"If aliens can master such power..."

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but have a daydream.

More than twenty minutes later, the train announcement sounded in the carriage: "Chaka Star Gate Station has arrived."

Ji Xinghuo perked up and stood up when the train stopped. He walked out of the station and saw a brightly lit metropolis.

Chaka City!

This place is located in the Chaka Basin, more than 800 kilometers west of Chang'an. Two centuries ago, it was originally a barren Gobi Desert with only a slightly famous salt lake scenic spot.

Chaka City is adjacent to Qinghai Lake to the north and the northern branch of the Kunlun Mountains to the south.

In 2033, one of the thirteen star gates suddenly opened on the earth was located in a wilderness called "Wolf Cave" by the locals in the Chaka Basin. Over the next hundred years, this area experienced It fought countless wars and was eventually turned into a wasteland by nuclear explosions.

It was not until 2147 that the Chaka Star Gate was completely under the control of the Asia-Pacific Community.

The Asia-Pacific Community invested manpower, material and financial resources to remove nuclear contamination and built huge defense fortifications around the Star Gate. A group army was permanently stationed here and a nuclear weapons array was deployed.

Since then, Chaka Star Gate has become one of the stable channels for the Asia-Pacific community to enter the star realm.

The Asia-Pacific Community has a total of three star gates. The other two are the "Xianglian Star Gate" in the hinterland and the "Palembang Star Gate" in Sumatra.

Chaka Star Gate is the closest to Chang'an.

Therefore, Ji Xinghuo chose to enter the star realm from here.

He got into the car and drove quickly through the city, heading straight to the location of the Star Gate.

The entire Chaka City is built around the Star Gate. The city is roughly in the shape of a trapezoid, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers. It has a permanent population of tens of millions, and the density is not high. However, the lives and work of the residents in the city are almost based on the Star Gate. The center expands.

The Star Gate was right in the middle of the city. Ji Xinghuo saw a huge building standing under the night sky from a distance in the car.

As we got closer, the building grew larger and larger before our eyes.

When he got off the car and stood in front of him, it was like standing under a huge city wall. It was more than three hundred meters high and about five hundred meters long on a side. It was square in shape, like a box magnified countless times and buckled on it. On the ground, it is gray in color and made of composite cement and alloy. It is majestic and daunting.

"Stargate Fortress!"

Ji Xinghuo has seen it in videos before, but only by seeing it with his own eyes can he feel the strength and momentum of this fortress.

Stargate Fortress, as its name suggests, is a real war fortress.

It itself can withstand the attack of nuclear weapons. At the same time, it also has a super-large nuclear arsenal deployed inside, which is not only prepared to deal with enemies on the earth, but also for the terrible enemies coming out of the star realm.

The five kilometers around the Star Gate Fortress have been cleared, and the view is wide.

Even at night, Ji Xinghuo could see thousands of turrets built in this open space, scattered in military camps in all directions, hiding stronger firepower.

Stargate Fortress has many entrances and exits.

These entrances and exits range from large to small. The large ones are tens of meters high, like city gates, but they are usually closed. Not all small entrances and exits are open and are heavily guarded. Only three are open now.

Ji Xinghuo passed the identity verification and security check and walked into the fortress gate.

The interior of the fortress is not completely transparent, but is divided into many layers, like matryoshka dolls, one layer inside the other. Each layer of wall is more than fifteen meters thick. The space between the walls forms an indoor pedestrian street. Enough to allow seven or eight tanks and combat vehicles to run parallel.

There are shops on both sides of the street, crowded with pedestrians, and everyone you look at is a stranger!

Ji Xinghuo has never seen so many aliens in reality. In the magnetic field induction, the humanoid magnetic field is moving, and each one is much stronger than ordinary people.

He stood on the street and observed for a moment.

It was an eye-opener.

"Super Giant!"

A giant over two meters tall, wearing hundreds of kilograms of heavy armor and carrying a giant ax on his back, the ground would tremble with every step he took.

Next to the giant general was a woman with a vague figure. She seemed to be shrouded in a mosaic, making it difficult to see her face clearly.

"At least a high-level Phantom Sound Master."

Ji Xinghuo sighed and turned around to see another tall war horse.

This red war horse with sharp horns and scales on its belly is riding on the back of a man, with a green falcon standing on his shoulders. The horse is also accompanied by two beasts of different shapes, one on the left and one on the right protecting the horse's back. The man above is extremely majestic, like a zoo director.

"Master!"

Ji Xinghuo watched the man go away with a little envy.

If there is any professional template that is both powerful and attractive, has a low threshold, has comprehensive capabilities and is convenient, it is the Master.

The charioteer can communicate with astral creatures, tame them into battle pets, and fight for him.

Royal teachers are extremely popular, accounting for 10% of the profession.

Generally, the larger the number of people in an occupation, the greater the influence of the association.

The two largest professional associations in the Asia-Pacific Community are the "Martial Arts Association" and the other "Masters Association".

The Royal Masters Association holds the "War Pet Competition" every year, and the number of spectators is no less than that of the Super League, and sometimes it is even more popular.

Countless games, movies and books have been created around the Royal Master. Over the years, the Royal Master culture has become popular all over the world. Related industries, such as war pet breeding, storage, care, animal training, veterinarians, breeding farms, pet food, pet beauty pageants, etc., are a huge market worth tens of trillions.

Ji Xinghuo also thought about becoming a royal master, but he didn't like keeping pets, so he had no choice but to give up.

As he went deep into the fortress, he observed his surroundings.

Strange people passed by one after another.

Either they are dusty, have traces of battle on their bodies, have just returned from the astral world, and enter the street shops with their trophies to sell;

Either they look brand new, they gather in small groups, travel together, and prepare to enter the star realm.

Come all the way.

Ji Xinghuo has seen more than 90% of the more than 40 professions known on earth, and the ones he has not seen are the rarest profession templates.

He even saw a "crowd"!

To be precise, it is not a "one", but a "group".

Four men with exactly the same appearance were walking on the street. Although they wore different clothes, were equipped with different weapons, had camouflage on their faces, and had different hairstyles, they were spread out to keep a certain distance from each other, but under Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction , the magnetic field characteristics of the four people are exactly the same.

These four people are actually the same person!

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but be curious and turned to look at one of them.

Crowdfunding is one of the rarest professions on earth.

Currently, there are only 66 known groups in the world, which is fewer than the magnetic field fanatics. Only the "Astral Travelers" and the "Destiny Prophet" have fewer people than them.

The core power of the crowd, "Clone Twin", can create a clone that is exactly the same as the original body, but takes away half of the star power.

Each time the clone twins level up, the main body and the clone can each create another clone.

Similarly, the new clone will also take away half of the star power.

The clones have all the superpowers of the main body, and their thoughts are synchronized. Whether it is a one-on-one fight or a group fight, they have a huge advantage.

There are four main bodies and clones of this "crowd", which means that his "clone twin" is the second level.

Ji Xinghuo looked away before the other party noticed.

"Super crowd!"

The magnetic field induction identifies the opponent's level. However, because the star power is divided into four parts, the strength of each clone of the crowd is not as strong as the super alien of the same level.

The biggest advantage of the crowd is group fighting.

Therefore, other aliens gave the crowd a rather funny nickname - gangster gang!

Ji Xinghuo secretly remembered the appearance of this crowd and continued to move forward. After passing through seven layers of walls, he finally reached the deepest part of the fortress.

The eyes suddenly opened up, and a wide and bright space came into view.

"Stargate!"

Ji Xinghuo immediately looked at the "door" in the fortress hall. In fact, it was not what people thought of as a door.

The star gate is a ball!

Its diameter is about thirty meters, its shape is an absolute sphere, without any error, its surface contour is smooth, and it looks black to the human eye, but in fact it has no color, it just does not reflect any light, just like a black hole without suction.

A multi-layered circular platform is built around this giant black ball.

There were people coming in and out of each circular platform. People stepped onto the platform along the passage, approached the star gate, and the moment they reached out and touched the surface of the star gate, the people disappeared.

At the same time, someone also came out of the star gate and appeared on the platform on the other side as if out of thin air.

There is no process whether it is going in or coming out.

Complete in an instant.

Ji Xinghuo watched curiously for half a minute. People around him were getting used to it as strangers came and went. He didn't queue up to enter the Star Gate. Before that, he still had things to do.
