"Have you been there before?" Zou Zichuan felt that Xiaoqi seemed to have a kind of vigilance towards Oak Barrel Space City.

“I visited it a year ago.”

"Can you talk?"

"I'll just say it briefly."

Xiaoqi gave a brief introduction to Zou Zichuan and the other two.

More than 300 years ago, a pirate ship discovered a strange-shaped space steel building in the airspace of this area. This steel building is like a huge cylinder standing in space, with a height of twenty-five kilometers and a diameter of more than eight kilometers. It stands in the pitch-black space, slightly bulging in the middle, like a huge oak barrel, so it is named "oak barrel".

When the oak barrel was discovered, the archaeological world that once caused a sensation in the Human Alliance, because humans have never built such a huge building in space so far, even the largest space warship in the Human Alliance was only ten kilometers.

A large number of scientists and archaeologists and some adventure groups rushed to the oak barrels to try to discover something, but unfortunately, humans found nothing in this huge steel building.

According to news reports from the Alliance of Humanities at that time, this steel cylinder should be a relics of prehistoric civilization. It is impossible to verify the specific period of civilizations that belong to, because, apart from the steel structure, no objects of prehistoric civilization were found, but many traces of activity left by modern human civilization were found inside it.

There are many speculations about oak barrel steel buildings. Among them, one of the speculations of archaeologists is generally recognized by the public. Archaeologists believe that this oak barrel-shaped building should be a space fortress left by a prehistoric civilization. It was abandoned for unknown reasons. After that, it was visited by countless interstellar pirates and interstellar tomb robbers. Some items of slightly valuable on it were demolished, so there was only a bare steel building left.

The discovery of oak barrels was once a sensation, but as time went by, scientists from the Alliance of Humanities gradually lost interest in him. Later, they disappeared for a long time, until it appeared again more than 200 years ago. At this time, it had been transformed into a real space city and became a must-stop on this route, and was called the Oak barrel space city.

No one knows who invested huge sums of money to transform the Oak Barrel Space City, because its transformation lasted for half a century. When he appeared in the sight of the Human Alliance again, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Human Alliance.

After the unique shape of Oak Barrel Space City, it has a very huge internal space, and it is said that it is a super city inside.

After the renovation of Oak Barrel Space City, the number of residents here has reached an astonishing number in three hundred years - 150,000.

Among the millions of planets in the Human Alliance, the total population of many planets is only a few million. It is no exaggeration to say that in the vast and sparsely populated universe, planets with a population of 20 million have already ranked in the Human Alliance. You should know that Black Planet, as a prosperous planet where human pirates gather and disperse, is known as more than 30 million people, and its actual population is only a little over 10 million. The Oak Barrel Space City actually accommodates 15 million people, which shows its size.

Of course, the transformation of Oak Barrel Space City was not completed at one time, and its transformation span was not half a century. It is said that its transformation has never stopped in the past three hundred years, and its population has been increasing...

...

"Wait, let me calculate first. The height is 25 kilometers. If you follow a height of fifteen meters, one hundred floors will only be 1,500 meters, which is 1,500 kilometers. Even if you have two kilometers and one hundred floors, twenty-five kilometers will reach more than one thousand floors... Oh my God... I can't imagine how big the internal space it has." Xiao Feng made a marvelous voice.

"Otherwise, how could it live in 150,000? Think about it, the height is more than fifteen meters, and the diameter of each floor exceeds eight kilometers. With such a large space area, it is easy to live in 200,000 people. Ten floors are two million people, and hundreds of floors are twenty million people. If the space occupied by public space and equipment is not considered, just count the population density based on the area. There is no problem with Oak Barrel Space City living in 1500 million people... Of course, this is just theoretically, in fact, this giant super space city will have schools, factories, farms, hotels, etc., and at a 30% discount, at least more than 40 million people can live in." Gu Fang said.

"In other words, it can add more than 20 million people?"

"I don't know the specific data, it is theoretically OK because it has been transforming. After the discovery of Oak Barrel Space City, thousands of scientists from the Human Resources League have spent decades not completely figuring out the internal structure of the building, because the building is too large and the internal structure is very complex, just like a maze. No one has ever been to many places. It is said that many scientists were lost in it back then and never came out." Xiao Qi said.

"Have you never been in for the renovated person?" Gu Fang asked curiously.

"No. As far as I know before, the transformation of oak barrels started from a local area, then expanded little by little, slowly forming their current scale."

"How do the people inside live on?" Zou Zichuan asked. Although Zou Zichuan had heard of the Oak Barrel Space City before, he was not very interested in such curiosity, and he only heard about it and did not have an in-depth understanding.

"If Black Planet is a distribution center for pirates to sell stolen goods, then Oak Barrel Space City is a place for consumption, and you can think of any entertainment here. In short, here, as long as you have money, you are the old man. What I remember most when I went there last time was that a rich man spent 100 million yuan to let the service staff eat a piece of shit because of the rudeness of the service staff..."

"Wow...Brother, we're having a meal!" Xiao Feng pleaded with a dry retching and begged.

"We have to leave. Remember, it's true that the old man has money in that place, but when he is penniless, it's the meat on the dining table. In short, be careful." Xiao Qi reminded again with a serious look on his face.

“Yes yes.”

...

Everyone followed the chefs to the chef's office to receive their salary.

At this time, everyone was receiving gold coins.

In the world of pirates, only gold coins are hard currency, especially small transactions. Pirates are more willing to use gold coins. After all, many merchants only accept gold coins in many desolate and remote places.

In short, gold coins make the pirates feel more secure.

Zou Zichuan and the other two received half of their salary - three gold coins.

During the process of receiving wages, Zou Zichuan learned by listening to other chefs chatting that under normal circumstances, people who work for pirate ships usually pay half of their wages, and they pay the remaining wages when they get off the ship. Moreover, the remaining wages will be paid in many forms, such as electronic payment or some stolen goods, etc., and there is no specific settlement rule.

"Xiao Qi, wait."

Zou Zichuan and the other two originally wanted to wait for Xiaoqi to leave together, but Xiaoqi was kept by the chef surnamed Tang, so the three of them had to leave the office.

"What are the chefs who leave him for?" Gu Fang murmured to himself as he followed the chefs forward.

"I guess I'm thanking Xiaoqi."

"It's not like. When the chef paid his salary just now, he was always worried and looked like he had something to do."

"What do you care about so much? Xiaoqi will get off the boat later." Xiao Feng said disapprovingly.

"What if the chef doesn't let him get off the boat?"

"Where is the motivation?" Zou Zichuan asked.

"The motive... may be for money... not right... If it is for money, he will not be worried... What is the reason... Not good, the chef wants to silence!" Gu Fang exclaimed.

"What are you going to kill?" Zou Zichuan was stunned.

"Think about it, what would have happened if the chef knew that his wife had committed adultery with Mosley?"

"What you mean is that the chef has known about the affair between his wife and Mosley for a long time, and he has only been tolerant and pretending to be deaf and dumb. Then, Xiaoqi killed Mosley. The chef could not say that he knew, and could only pretend to be angry. Moreover, Xiaoqi killed Mosley is a good thing for the chef, but the chef knew that Xiaoqi was lying, that is, this is also the reason why he wanted to kill Xiaoqi, because Xiaoqi knew that his wife was adultery, not abused."

"This... what is this logic? In other words, the chef can accept adultery from his wife, but cannot accept letting others know about it." Xiao Feng said with his head.

"No one wants to let others know about cuckolding. Let's go back, otherwise, Xiaoqi will be in danger." Gu Fang nodded.

"Oh my god, it's so complicated...Brother..."

Just as Xiao Feng and Gu Fang were discussing that they were about to turn around and return to the office, Zou Zichuan had already turned around and thought about the office, as if a strong wind was blowing on the ground.

"Your brother is so fierce." Gu Fang exclaimed.

"It's more fierce than you think. Let's go first and see Xiaoqi. By the way, Fang Shao, Xiaoqi's surname is Yang, will he be a descendant of the Yang family..."

"Unsure, but it's possible, because his destination is the Black Planet, but the probability is less than one trillion."

"Well, let's ask indirectly later. By the way, don't talk to my elder brother."

"Why?"

"I... my elder brother and I are not brothers. I won't mention this matter for now. Then we will adapt to the situation... Hehe, if Xiaoqi is really a descendant of the Yang family, the descendants of our three major families will be considered to have a successful meeting..." Xiao Feng rubbed his hands, and his face showed excitement.
