Double hit
Xuan Ye's spacecraft was practically the smallest among all the docked ships. Even so, it had a matching "dock" for him to park in.
Well, a pair of pincers specifically meant for retrieving escape pods simply grabbed it and shoved it into the construction area. There was no need to free up a dock at all.
The Manok Federation's material development was already extremely advanced, and its productivity had reached the surplus stage. With such productivity, ordinary "humanitarian aid" was naturally provided free of charge.
They did not charge Xuan Ye any "storage fees" or "docking fees" either. After he opened the spacecraft and left the cabin, his automatically scanned identification raised no difficulties.
The inside of the port showed none of outer space's darkness. Instead, it was brightly lit. From the outside, it looked like nothing more than a "belt," but its gleaming alloy floor and vast space were broad enough for dozens of vehicles to travel side by side, while its height was sufficient to accommodate hovering devices.
The port itself also had a gravity system.
Cargo-loading robots and self-driving transport vehicles filled the entire Spaceport with automation taken to the extreme.
Aside from these automated devices, the port was also home to all kinds of aliens, thanks to the large number of visitors from outside.
Those Xuan Ye considered within the range of "normal"—with two hands, two feet, and two eyes—made up roughly half of them. The other half were "aliens": moving octopuses, squirming creatures resembling slimes, many-legged arthropods, and all sorts of others.
The various signs displayed characters he could not understand at all. However, after their accompanying translation devices identified the written content, they automatically converted it into Soul Language so that people could understand it.
"What a convenient thing."
