"Serpens is pretty lively, huh."
After entering the spaceport, Gao Gong let out a heartfelt sigh.
The former mechanical Serpens had been lively too, but situations like this, where one could not even find a single "docking berth," were still extremely rare.

Unlike the weapon systems mounted on spaceships, these "mechanical platforms" were civilian devices. Once deployed into the vacuum, they automatically transformed. Their mechanical sections extended one after another, while the antigravity systems sprayed blue flames, turning them into temporary starship berthing platforms.

Gao Gong led the way, with Qin Zhenzi half a step behind him. When they reached the star shuttle
