Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 24 Star Gate

One o'clock.

Ji Xinghuo opened his eyes on the bed, and 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 changed into a pair of leisure and training clothes, put on a bow bag, 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.

In the past few days, through magnetic field induction, he knew the positions of several swordsmen inside and outside the building arranged by the Sword Bureau, and found out their shift change 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 Sword Bureau have extremely high quality and concentration, they will inevitably relax after three or four days of intensive monitoring.

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

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 vehicle quickly drove out of the parking lot.

Ji Xinghuo was sitting in the back row, the opaque car windows blocked his figure, but in his magnetic field induction, he locked onto a room on the third floor.

There are two swordsmen there, and they are responsible for monitoring the vehicles entering and leaving the building.

The car left smoothly, and the two did not respond.

A smile appeared on Ji Xinghuo's face, looking out the window, the maglev vehicle had already driven onto the superconducting highway and was speeding all the way 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 1000 kilometers, maglev vehicles traveling on superconducting highways are enough.

If you travel more than kilometers, you can take the "vacuum tube maglev train", which is commonly called a vacuum train.

If you want to go abroad or the distance exceeds kilometers, it is the fastest to take a supersonic plane.

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

Since the 100s, 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 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 hadn't 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.

However, 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, changing from two digits to three digits in a blink of an eye, and soon breaking through to four digits!

In the end, the speed stabilized at around 1800 kilometers per hour!

Although the displayed speed still jumps from time to time, the range of speed change 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 with 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, and the difference between the two is about ten times.Even so, the strength of the magnetic levitation system is five orders of magnitude stronger than the magnetic field of the human body!

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 having daydreams.

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!

It 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.

The Chaka Stargate was not fully under the control of the APC until 2147.

The Asia-Pacific Community has invested manpower, material and financial resources to remove nuclear pollution, and built a huge fortification around the star gate. There is a group army stationed here, and a nuclear weapon array is arranged.

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

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

Chaka Stargate 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 for the location of the star gate.

The entire Chaka City is built around the Star Gate. The urban area is roughly in the shape of a trapezoid, with an area of ​​more than square kilometers and a permanent population of tens of millions. The density is not high, but the life and work of the residents of the city are almost centered around the Star Gate.

The star gate is right in the middle of the city, and Ji Xinghuo saw a huge building standing in the distance from the car under the night.

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, and at the same time, it is also equipped with a large-yield nuclear arsenal inside, not only to deal with the enemies on the earth, but also to prepare for the terrifying enemies that come out of the astral world.

The five kilometers around the Stargate Fortress were cleared, and the field of vision was wide open.

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, full of pedestrians, and all of them are strangers!

Ji Xinghuo has never seen so many strangers 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 axe, felt the ground tremble every time he took a step.

Beside 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 an advanced illusionist."

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

A man was riding on the back of this red war horse with sharp horns and a scaled belly, and a cyan falcon stood on his shoulder. The horse was accompanied by two beasts of different shapes, one on the left and the other on the right to protect the man on the horseback. It was extremely majestic, like a zookeeper.

"Master!"

Ji Xinghuo looked enviously at the man going away.

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 sought after, accounting for 10% of occupations.

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, one is the "Martial Arts Association" and the other is the "Masters Association".

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

Numerous games, movies and books have been born around Yushi, and over the years, Yushi culture has become popular all over the world.Related industries, such as pet breeding, storage, care, animal training, veterinarians, 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.

Crowds are 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.

Every time the twin clones are upgraded, 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.

This "mass" has four bodies plus avatars, which means that his "twin clone" is at the second level.

Ji Xinghuo looked away before the other party noticed.

"Super Crowd!"

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

The biggest advantage of the masses is group fights.

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.

Suddenly, a wide and bright space came into view.

"Stargate!"

Ji Xinghuo looked at the "door" in the hall of the fortress for the first time, but in fact, it was not the door in people's impression.

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.

There are multi-layer ring platforms built around this giant black sphere.

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 came out of the star gate, as if appearing on the other side of the platform out of nowhere.

Whether it is going in or out, there is no process.

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.
