Lu Yang's arrangements had been very clear, but there was always some gap between plans and reality.
The core problem was that the Boundary Curtain side of the "Proto-14" Star Gate was not particularly convenient at present.
This was a major interstellar spaceport composed of four artificial planets, each roughly the size of Star Ring City. The four artificial planets served as both defensive fortresses and anchoring devices, firmly restraining the spacetime void in the middle that constantly spewed high-energy jet streams.
With such a structure, functionality naturally far outweighed serviceability.
At first glance, there were four artificial planets, but most of them were occupied by facilities, equipment, and military fortifications, leaving virtually no spare capacity. For safety's sake, there was no opportunity for others to expand commercially, either.
Coupled with the congestion at the "Proto-14" Star Gate that had lasted nearly a week, obtaining service resources had become even harder—put more bluntly, if you wanted somewhere to stay, were you prepared to bleed money?
Lu Yang had made a windfall in recent years, but when he had been caught red-handed, all those illegal gains had long since been confiscated. Now that he had effectively left home for good, the little funding he had on hand simply could not support any major expenses.
After several more hours of hassle, they finally found a barely suitable room aboard a "ferry ship." There was no hospital, but how about an infirmary?
This large spacecraft, named the Taojing, could accommodate twenty thousand passengers at once. It was no small vessel.
But since it was called a "ferry," it could only be for short-haul travel. It was impossible for it to take you directly to the Boundary Curtain seven hundred light-years away. Its destination was a Near-Realm Star System near the "Proto-14" Star Gate,
