Chapter 252 Those Melons in Paya New Guinea

The Sora Empire.

Hearing the words uttered by Jin.

Milo's expression also became more composed.

His finger tapped a few times on the virtual screen, and a bright, winding line quickly extended across the course map:
"Yes, the next destination is the old capital of the Sora Empire. I plan to start from the jump point at the edge of the Aria Nebula, bypass this gravity anomaly zone, make a transit in Scepter Harbor, and then go through the Docar Communication Array to reach the Sora Empire directly from the jump point here."

"If all goes well, we should be able to reach Charon, the old capital of the Sora Empire, in about seven to nine days."

Sora Empire
This is the next stop for the Fluttering Fluttering, an old sixth-order civilization located in the southwest of the known region of the Star Sea.

The Sora Empire is a well-known mining powerhouse in the Star Sea, with its territory rich in a special mineral called Sora Condensate.

Solara is an amorphous solid that looks like black glass with sparkling specks inside, and can slightly alter physical constants in certain local areas.

for example.

A small piece of Solara solid can cause the speed of light to slow down, the gravitational constant to increase or decrease within its influence range—of course, exceeding the speed of light is impossible; currently, the only known means of exceeding the speed of light is polarized fracture energy.

Large quantities of Sola solids combined together can alter the velocity or energy of incident weapons to some extent, thus enabling the construction of high-strength defensive fortifications or the creation of ideal experimental environments.

For example, the execution of the original plan required an astronomical amount of Sola solid.

Thanks to the vast market for Sora Condensate in the Star Sea, the Sora Empire has successfully developed to the sixth tier.

However, for Milo and the others, the real attraction of the Sora Empire lies in...
It is the home planet of Paya Shinya, the chief architect of Fishing Man's Wrath.

According to the analysis by Milo and others at the time.

Although Gu Wei's mecha was a replica of the Machine Soul Cult, Paya Shinya could not be completely absolved of suspicion.

After all, the reason for the birth of the Angry Fisherman is a bit too bizarre—it is said that this thing was inspired by Paya Xinya when he was carrying a water pump and pumping water after he had been skunked for a long time.
Therefore, it's possible that Paya Shinya has some kind of collusion with the Machine Soul Cult behind the scenes.

Then Milo paused for a moment and continued, "Ten thousand years ago, because of the fisherman's anger, Paya Shinya, who was so badly humiliated that even his own mother didn't recognize him, ran away and was forced to return to the Sola Empire to inherit the throne."

"At that time, Paya Shinya took various manuscripts and other materials back with him. Even after taking power, he did not completely give up mecha design. He even established a mecha laboratory in the then capital city of Charon and designed two mechas under a pseudonym: the Vortex series and the Spirit Remains Generation 1."

"The Vortex series and the first generation of Spirit Remains?" Jin was slightly taken aback, her tone unusually tinged with doubt: "They seem to be fifth-generation mechs? Wasn't the Vortex series criticized for plagiarizing the first fifth-generation mech, the Chaoge?"

Milo nodded with a slightly subtle expression: "Yes, I only recently learned through some channel that Paya Shinya is also the designer of the Vortex series."

The mechs have now evolved to the eighth generation, so even a mech expert like Milo couldn't possibly be fully aware of the entanglements between the fourth and fifth generations 100,000 years ago.

He only learned from a special source a few days ago when he was collecting information that Paya Shinya was actually related to the Vortex series.

To be honest, the Uzumaki series isn't a particularly classic mecha series, and its historical sales haven't been especially high, but it was once embroiled in a minor scandal:
This mecha bears a striking resemblance to the [Chaoge] series, which revolutionized the fifth generation, and its release sparked a debate about whether it was plagiarism.

At the time, even the department in the Star Sea Alliance responsible for the supervision of mechs intervened in the investigation, but the final conclusion was that the Vortex series had obvious differences from [Chaoge] in terms of specific parameters, and the relevant design scheme was ultimately classified as 'homage'.

Of course.

Fans of the [Chaoge] series were not buying it, and for a long time, supporters of both sides were arguing.

The result was unexpected.
The designer of the Vortex series, damn it, is Paya Shinawatra?!

To know.

The reason Paya Shinya ran away was because of the Wrath of the Fisherman. The mech officially named Wave Chaser encountered material innovation after its production and collided with the fifth generation of the [Chaoge] series, which ultimately led to its defeat in the market.

Unexpectedly, years later, Paya Shinya reissued the [Chaoge] series, creating a vortex mecha using a vest?

That's really messed up.

After all, although the official evidence does not confirm that the Vortex mech plagiarized the original, it is obvious to the general public that the Vortex and Chaoge are not simply a tribute or a case of 'good designs always have a tacit understanding'.

If you really can't beat them, join them.JPG, right?
Milo then coughed lightly, quickly clearing up the mess: "In short, that's about it for Paya Shinya. After designing the first generation of the Spirit Remains mecha, he devoted himself to politics and died peacefully at the age of 307. His eldest son, Akia, succeeded him to the throne."

"Then, 30,000 years ago, the Sora Empire advanced to a sixth-order civilization. The original capital, Charon, was no longer suitable as a political and economic center due to its geographical location. So the royal family moved the capital to the new capital, Primus, which represents the sun corona in the culture of the Sora Empire."

"As for the original capital, Charon, it has been turned into a tourist attraction, which includes Paya Xinya's former residence and laboratory. The entrance fee is 8 Union Coins."

Jin nodded thoughtfully.

If anything has been left behind in Paya Hinya, it's probably in the old house or the laboratory.

of course.

To be honest, the probability of this happening isn't very high.

Firstly, Paya Shinya might not actually have anything to do with the Fishing Man's Wrath that Gu Wei was carrying. Secondly, 100,000 years have passed, and even if something was left behind, it was very likely that it had already been taken away by the people of the Sora Empire.

After all, a former residence is a former residence; it's impossible to display everything exactly as it was—the people of the Sora Empire aren't stupid.
In short, let Gu Wei wander around and take a look when the time comes. If all else fails, he can just bleed a little everywhere.

"Oh right," Jin then belatedly realized something and glanced around: "Where is Gu Weiren?"

"I went straight to my room after boarding the ship, of course I told them," Milo explained, gesturing with his chin in a certain direction.

"From what that kid said, it seems the team competition is starting in two days, and for some reason he's in the starting lineup. He's saying he's going to do some pre-match preparations."
