Chapter 1 The Voyage

This time, Qiancheng Xue didn't bring many people for the delivery. She mainly brought Sun Li's people, Chen Meng's people, and Zhao Han and others, totaling about three thousand people.

During Qiancheng Xue's absence, Tang Yao would be responsible for overseeing Morningstar Company.

Qiancheng Xue hugged Tang Yao and said, "It's okay, we'll be back soon. When we return, it will be the time for our Morningstar Company to rise. I'm entrusting the company to you during my absence."

"Okay, Sister Xue, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it for you."

Tang Yao nodded emphatically.

"Goodbye!"

Qiancheng Xue waved goodbye to her sisters and then led the way onto the ship.

A moment later, the medium-sized transport ship and two Tier 2 escort ships set sail.

Qiancheng Xue stood on the observation deck and looked down, Tang Yao and the others waving goodbye incessantly.

Su Mo walked over and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will reunite soon."

"Yeah."

Qiancheng Xue nodded in response.

"By the way, what did Sun Li mean by saying she might miss the flight? Was she worried about not being able to rendezvous with the Lin family fleet in time?"

Qiancheng Xue asked curiously.

"No, she was worried about missing the Blue Whale."

Qiancheng Xue explained to Su Mo.

"What's the Blue Whale?" Su Mo was a little confused.

Su Mo asked with growing surprise.

"The Blue Whale is run by a special force within the Republic of Goga. It's a Tier 5 giant transport mothership, spanning over five hundred kilometers, capable of accommodating hundreds of ships. It's equipped with a hyperspace flight device and a super-powerful firepower system. To put it simply, it's like a logistics mothership that collects all the ships going to the front lines. Then it transports us to the Dorrance checkpoint, where it drops us off, saving us a lot of travel time."

Qiancheng Xue gave Su Mo a general introduction.

"They really know how to do business. If I'm not mistaken, it takes the safest route for the first half of the journey and then releases you into the dangerous routes."

After listening to Qiancheng Xue, Su Mo roughly understood what was going on.

"Yes, the Dorrance checkpoint happens to be at the three-quarter mark of the route."

Qiancheng Xue explained.

"What about the price? It shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"On the contrary, it's very cheap, not much different from the cost of us traveling on our own. Also, there's a guarantee on the goods because they're insured. If they are damaged or lost, there is full compensation."

Qiancheng Xue said with a smile.

"This..."

Su Mo was a little surprised.

"Are you finding it a bit unbelievable and thinking there might be something fishy? There isn't. A large part of their profit comes from consumption on the ship. The Blue Whale has a very complete consumption area, whether it is formal or informal, it can be described as a consumption paradise."

Qiancheng Xue explained to Su Mo.

"I understand."

Su Mo nodded.

"But there's something I need to remind you about. The Blue Whale implements a free legal system and treats everyone equally. Also, it's full of all sorts of people, so after boarding the ship, be as careful as possible and don't get into conflicts with others."

Qiancheng Xue reminded Su Mo.

"The ships that are on board are not just from the Federation, right?"

Su Mo said thoughtfully.

"No, all the allied countries can board."

Qiancheng Xue shook her head in response.

At this moment, Su Mo's transport ship had already begun to break through the atmosphere, leaving Earth and flying towards the distant starry sky.

At this time, Su Mo noticed that there were many spaceships leaving Earth and flying in the same direction as them.

Su Mo looked over with his naked eyes and saw at least seventy ships. He asked,

"Are these all going to rendezvous?"

"It should be."

Qiancheng Xue nodded in response.

"How long until we reach the rendezvous point?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"It'll take more than three hours. This ship is very cunning. In order to avoid paying taxes to the Federal Government, it doesn't get close to Earth. The Federation can’t say much because of the alliance relationship."

Qiancheng Xue explained to Su Mo.

"They really know how to calculate. I can roughly guess what their operating model is."

Su Mo nodded in response.

"The Republic of Goga is a bit different from other countries. Internally, power speaks louder than anything else. It's not like us, where the council has the final say. The power there is very strong, almost capable of dominating everything. But this also causes their cohesion to be the worst among all the countries, but their strength is not."

Qiancheng Xue told Su Mo the inside story.

"Yeah."

Su Mo nodded.

...

More than three hours later, Sun Li excitedly ran over to report, "Sister Xue, we've received the Blue Whale's identification information."

"Okay, go handle it."

Qiancheng Xue nodded.

"Okay, I'll connect with them right away. I've always said that the Blue Whale is a consumption paradise, how wonderful, this time I can finally experience it."

Sun Li said excitedly.

Su Mo looked into the distance.

In the distant starry sky, a ship over 500 kilometers long, its hull covered with thick, dark blue armor, resembled a giant blue whale. Its abdomen was white, with horizontal stripes, and could be opened wide to allow a large number of ships to enter and exit. At the top of its bow was a transparent dome, inside which one could see a bustling city, and at the stern were six slender mechanical tails.

Although he had been prepared, Su Mo was shocked when he saw it.

At this time, ships of different types were lining up in an orderly manner, entering the interior of the Blue Whale from its abdomen.

Su Mo narrowed his eyes and asked Artificial Construct Devourer.

"How is this ship's combat power?"

"It's just a transport ship, not very good. But the volume is there, so it can take a beating!"

Artificial Construct Devourer said.

Su Mo was thoughtful after listening.

At this time, Qiancheng Xue interrupted Su Mo's thoughts.

"Su Mo, our ship is about to enter, we need to prepare to accept a comprehensive inspection."

"Okay."

Su Mo replied.

More than an hour later, under the guidance of the Blue Whale's dispatcher, Su Mo's ship began to slowly rise from its abdomen and enter the interior of the Blue Whale.

The dispatcher's reminders kept ringing in the transport ship's communication channel.

"Respected customer, please follow the virtual guidance line and dock your ship at berth 134."

Looking out from the bow of the ship, you could see a virtual guide line constantly directing the movement of Su Mo's ship.

Su Mo looked around and saw ships docked in each berth, like shelves, everything in perfect order.

Soon, Sun Li maneuvered the ship precisely into the berth.

Sway.

The entire ship shook slightly and was firmly locked in place.

"Respected guests, thank you for your cooperation. You are now docked in the designated location. There will soon be special inspectors on board to register all people and goods passing through. Please cooperate as much as possible. If you are treated unfairly during the review, you can complain, and we will definitely adhere to the principle that the customer is God and serve you!"

A very sweet voice sounded in the communication channel.
