In reality, a space station like Black Tower, which can be considered a colossal interstellar structure, naturally cannot be composed of only a few simple structures like the main control section, the base section, the containment section, and the support section in the game.
The space station, with its extremely vast internal space, naturally also has a huge external structure to match it.
This is not to say that Black Tower does not possess technology similar to the 'Celestial Domain' of the Xianzhou Alliance, but such technology consumes too much energy, to the point where even Black Tower cannot afford the energy required to arbitrarily expand artificial space.
The reason why the Alliance can squander the Celestial Domain technology as if it were free is entirely due to the fact that 'Hunt' has completely opened up its fate energy to the entire Alliance.
In addition, the extremely valuable 'Star God's Mandate' among other factions is actually a kind of 'position' that can be inherited in the Alliance, which is why the scholars of the Bosi Zun Academy who came to Xianzhou for investigation all lamented in their notes: 'Hunt's favoritism toward the Xianzhou Alliance has reached an abnormal level that is impossible to ignore.
From Xianzhou's perspective, Hunt may not be the strongest Star God, but it is definitely the most generous. It is no wonder that the Xianzhou Alliance, whose civilization is essentially based on the purest 'pragmatism,' would completely throw itself into Hunt's camp.
Of course, it is necessary to explain that although the general public of the Xianzhou Alliance firmly believes in the legend of the nameless hero who severed the Jianmu in the ancient war and eventually ascended to become the Hunt Star God, Emperor Bow Si Ming, various signs indicate that the hero with the title 'Emperor Bow' has no connection to Hunt's Star God 'Lian'.
At least, Bai Yu, as the Luo-Fu Vice General, is quite certain, after having access to numerous confidential secrets, that the claim that Emperor Bow ascended to become a Star God is not true, or at least not entirely true.
To return to the main topic, although Luo-Fu possesses a Celestial Domain capable of accommodating a space station like Black Tower, it is impossible for Black Tower to stay docked here indefinitely. This is not due to technical reasons, but because of the inherent nature of the Interstellar Peace Company and the 'family' that the space station commander, Aista, cannot escape from.
Therefore, not long after Bai Yu boarded the space station with Fu Xuan and Su Shang, Black Tower departed from the docked Celestial Domain, sailing into the starry sky, maintaining a state of relative stillness with the Luo-Fu Xianzhou and navigating within this star system called 'Gouchenyi'.
From the name of this star system, 'Gouchenyi,' which has a distinct Xianzhou flavor, it can be seen that this star system is a frequent stop for many Xianzhou ships and has been implicitly recognized as the Alliance's sphere of influence by various cosmic forces.
Transitioning from the silk punk style of Luo-Fu to the interior of the Black Tower space station, which is heavily steeped in traditional sci-fi elements, Bai Yu felt a bit like he had traveled through time.
"What's wrong? You look dazed. Is it because you haven't been here for a long time?"
Aista looked at the young man beside her with a smile. After returning to the space station, she shed some of the reservedness she had displayed when meeting Jing Yuan on Luo-Fu, revealing a bit of youthful playfulness more in line with her age.
Walking along the walkway leading to the main control section, the sides were completely transparent glass. Through the glass windows, one could see the vast expanse of stars and oceans, and in the distance, the enormous Luo-Fu Xianzhou and an even more massive gas giant planet could be seen, which always evoked a strange feeling in Bai Yu's heart, having spent a long time in Luo-Fu.
After spending so long in a place like Luo-Fu, it really makes one inadvertently ignore the fact that they are actually in a space age.
"It's true that I haven't been here for a long time. The last time I came was three years ago, right?"
"To be precise, it's been three years, six months, and twenty-seven days for you, and one year, five months, and eight days for me!" Aista casually gave a disappointing answer, "Don't forget the relativistic effect."
"Wha… what effect?"
A series of question marks immediately appeared above Su Shang's head, who was walking beside Bai Yu.
"Why is the time different on both sides?"
"Good girl, Shangshang~" Bai Yu chuckled and ruffled Su Shang's head, "With your brain, it's impossible to understand this. Let's not torture ourselves, okay?"
In response, Su Shang gave Bai Yu a headbutt.
"You two are so close, huh~"
Watching Bai Yu and Su Shang bicker, Aista let out a sour remark.
"Hehe! After all, I've known Xiaobai since we were little!" Su Shang completely missed the subtext, and was delighted by Aista's 'compliment' about their closeness, holding Bai Yu's arm and giving Aista a silly, adorable smile.
Aista was speechless for a moment.
She had also realized that this girl named Su Shang was completely innocent and without any complex thoughts. It was the Diviner, however, who…
Looking at Fu Xuan with some concern, Aista asked, "I wonder, Miss Fu Xuan, what are your thoughts on this Black Tower space station?"
Fu Xuan didn't utter any harsh words but genuinely praised, "Worthy of the reputation of Lady Black Tower. It seems you have managed this space station well."
As the words left her lips, the group happened to reach the end of the observation walkway, and the door opened with a whoosh. Sounds of commotion also came from the main control section on the opposite side—
"Here they come, here they come!"
"Get ready, get ready! Don't embarrass our station commander! Don't embarrass our Aista fan club!"
"Shut up! You idiot! Don't reveal our group's existence offline! Beware of moles!"
"Funny, what group doesn't have moles…"
"Where's Fox Lady!? Where's the Fox Lady with the fox ears and tail? Damn! I heard the Luo-Fu Vice General was coming to our space station, I thought I'd see Fox Lady—"
"Wen Fu Rui! Keep it down! Don't go crazy here!"
A large group of people crowded the doorway leading from the main control section to the walkway, causing quite a commotion.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the crowd looked over in awkward silence. Upon seeing Black Tower and Aista, who were even more awkward than they were, everyone's foreheads began to sweat. It was unclear who led the charge, but everyone quickly lined up and then miraculously conjured holographic banners above their heads—
《Welcome, Luo-Fu Xianzhou Vice General, to Black Tower Space Station!》
Aista: …
Black Tower: …
Bai Yu shifted slightly to stand beside Fu Xuan, leaning down to ask in a low voice, "A-Fu, you really didn't foresee this and say that on purpose, did you?"
Fu Xuan was now even more embarrassed than Aista. She gave Bai Yu a charming sideways glance, then angrily nudged him with her elbow, gritting her teeth, "No! I! Did! Not!"
"What do you think I am? If I had to predict everything in life, then what joy would life hold?"
Their conversation was very quiet, so in the silence, only the simple-minded Su Shang's voice of admiration could be heard: "Xiaobai! They're welcoming you!"
This single sentence was the final blow, making Aista cover her face and squat down.
From the crowd, Alan managed to squeeze his way out. With a face full of guilt, he hurriedly bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Miss… cough! Station Commander Aista, I really couldn't stop them…"
Aista dragged Alan aside in annoyance, asking with gritted teeth, "What the hell is going on!?"
Alan looked left and right, quickly whispering in a hurry, "Usually, Station Commander, when you and the Vice General communicate, you're happy and give everyone bonuses. This time, everyone thought that as long as they warmly welcomed you and made a good impression, maybe they could get double the bonus, so…"
Aista completely put on the face of pain, silently squatted down, and lamented in a trembling voice:
"My life is over. I should just go back and inherit my billions of assets…"
You freaking dare to speak like that (╯‵□)╯︵┻━┻！？
