CLANG—ZZZZZZZT—HUMMMMMM!
High in the starry void between Red-Gourd Moon (World #9) and Planet Canglan, Chief Ticket Inspector Ye Guhan drove the final ten-foot-long Golden Star-Alloy Rail Spike into the orbital junction box with a single, vertical downward thrust of his sword!
The moment that golden spike locked into place, a breathtaking ring of golden-blue light flashed across three million miles of outer space!
From the central hub of Planet Canglan, the Nine-World High-Speed Sky-Rail Loop lit up like a glowing constellation of golden highways connecting every single planet and moon in the territory:
Station #0: Planet Canglan (Imperial Capital & Residential Core) Station #1: Dust-Rock Moon (Star-Brick Kilns & Central Transit Hub) Station #2: Green-Sprout Star (Planetary Granary & Beef-Wheat Farms) Station #3: Black-Iron Moon (10x Gravity Volcano Forges & Golem Smithies) Station #4: Warm-Spring Star (Medicinal Hot-Spring Ocean & Resort Islands) Station #5: The Gravel-Yard Belt (10,000-Asteroid Copper & Coal Mines) Station #6: Thunder-Peak Planet (Planetary Lightning Power Grid & Express Mail) Station #7: Frost-Mirror Star (Planetary Cold-Storage Freezer & Ski Resort) Station #8: Scrap-Heap Star (Giant Cube Recycling Plant & Naval Shipyard) Station #9: Red-Gourd Moon (Planetary Pressure-Cooker Alchemy & Pill Factory)
Along the completed golden loop, one hundred Spirit-Furnace Star-Trains—pulling refrigerated freezer cars, grain hoppers, pill transports, and double-decker tourist coaches—glided smoothly at warp-rail speeds in both directions!
