After spending half a day with Old Tang's family at the Spiritual Root Mother Tree, Li Xingkong hurriedly took his leave.
He has important matters to attend to right now; it would be best if he finished those first.
Although the shield has been set up, Li Xingkong also needs to help activate the teleportation coordinates of the Sihali Kingdom.
The Convention Marker is merely a one-way external signal. Li Xingkong didn't need to worry too much about its placement. The cultivators on the Divine Land side sent it to Venus and placed it in the center of the many divided battlefields. They even built a high platform for it and hung it up high.
Divine Land remains quite cautious about this unknown entity. In the entire Solar System, only Venus has a completely different appearance from the other planets. Even if this thing might be a listening device that can send information outwards, the scenery of Venus would still obscure the true face of Divine Land.
The teleportation coordinates are a bit different. Once this thing is set up, aliens are very likely to teleport here immediately. As for the unknown aliens, Li Xingkong felt it was necessary for him to stay and oversee things for a while.
The teleportation coordinates were placed on the edge of Mars. Divine Land is quite adept at building fortresses in space. In just a few days of discussion, a large space station was built near Mars, which is more than enough to house the teleportation nodes, and even more than enough to open a large trading market on it.
As for the fact that different aliens live in different environments, and their required atmospheric structures and living materials are very different, Divine Land, which has only recently made contact with aliens, has no experience with this, so they asked Li Xingkong several times.
In response, Li Xingkong reflected on his experiences on the merchant ships and in the Snail People Star System. The aliens on the merchant guild's side were of more diverse types, but none of them had any oxygen supply facilities on their ships. Perhaps some unknown technology was intelligently regulating the atmospheric environment around each person to achieve the best breathing effect.
For the Snail People, dealing with this matter was much simpler. Taking care of aliens? Forget about it. The planet is what it is; stay if you can, and if you can't, go to outer space and create your own habitable environment.
One of the main reasons Li Xingkong encountered so many space taverns in the Snail People's Galaxy was that their atmospheric environment was incompatible with the Snail People's planets, making it impossible for them to survive without breathing equipment.
As for how Earth Star can solve this problem, there are many solutions with the help of magic.
An array was set up below the teleportation node. When someone was teleported over, their respiratory and circulatory structure would be detected, and the most suitable gas composition for them would be determined. Then, a simple Breathing Spell would be released through the array.
This spell is like a large bubble, encasing the teleported alien individual in a filter membrane, creating a suitable breathing environment around their body.
The preliminary work, including building the space station, setting up arrays, and simulating Earth Star's ecological environment, took a considerable amount of time. By the time Li Xingkong arrived, the preliminary work was nearing completion, and spacecraft were moving in and out of the space station's entrance.
Li Xingkong flew into the space station following the flow of spaceships and saw many cultivators unloading cargo from those spaceships and then sorting and placing it in different areas.
"This is..."
Li Xingkong for a while and then found the person in charge here.
"We're worried about aliens coming over, so we thought we'd bring over samples of everything we can trade. If one of them catches our eye, then we'll open up a trade system with the universe."
It must be said that after years of development in modern society, Divine Land has a remarkably keen sense of economics.
The entire space station is designed to a high standard. Within its vast interior space, everything from spacecraft docking stations to individual rest areas is arranged perfectly.
Opposite the entrance to the space station is a huge, transparent, glass-like structure. Two layers of arrays cover the surface of this structure, allowing a view of the space outside the station through this massive glass.
Space has already been reserved on this glass panel for placing the teleportation coordinates.
"This design is to prevent ships that are too large to fit on the space station from being transported via coordinates. Ships that are too large will be transported directly to the other side of space, while only ships of the appropriate size will be allowed to enter the space station."
It can only be said that the designers on the Divine Land side had made ample preparations when speculating about what aliens would look like, and had suitable ways to accommodate them regardless of their size.
The cultivators were undoubtedly very efficient. No one was seen running around while the goods were being sorted. Instead, giant hands formed from Magic Power moved back and forth in the air, carefully placing all the goods that had been transported.
Li Xingkong, and the preparations inside the space station were almost complete.
All the unrelated cultivators evacuated, leaving only the military cultivators behind. Some were scattered throughout the various areas where goods were stored, while others gathered in the central open space, ready to stand guard at any time.
After receiving an affirmative reply from Li Xingkong, the person in charge gently pushed the teleportation coordinates in his hand into the glass wall and then used his Magic Power to activate the switch inside.
The small teleportation coordinate slowly released a soft light, and then, as if swallowed up, an Arc- shaped light gate slowly opened.
The gate spread out to both sides until it expanded into a huge Arc with a diameter of about 100 meters before it stopped expanding and became stable.
Each teleportation coordinate can have its corresponding data values set before deployment, including the size of the door and the information publicly available about that coordinate.
The information that is made public usually includes the local atmospheric structure, basic physical properties, and the maximum acceptable ship size, etc.
This is also for the benefit of the person using the portal. Nobody knows what's on the other side of the portal, and blindly teleporting there would be far too risky.
The gate gradually stabilized, and then a projection shot out from the light gate, projecting onto the interior of the space station.
This is a rather vast star map, with countless nebulae condensed into various shapes and projected onto the sky.
The star map is filled with flashing red dots, each of which is a connected teleportation station. The star map covers all the teleportation points that can be directly reached from this teleportation station on Earth Star. People who need to use the star gate only need to select the location they want to go to, and they can go to the corresponding station through the teleportation gate.
In other words, this star map is like an advanced version of a subway ticket machine. However, this subway is special because each station is maintained by its own civilization, and the pricing is entirely up to each civilization.
