Just as he said, the staff of the Herta Space Station were grateful for the help of the Astral Express Crew, so they generously brought out some supplies and gifted them to the Astral Express.
Among these supplies were many high-tech products capable of greatly improving the inconveniences of life during the Trailblaze journey, as well as many precious items.
For instance, when unable to find suitable accommodations in the wilderness, one could use a portable folding compressed room.
It contained an entire comfortable room compressed inside, complete with a bathroom, bedroom, and living room, making it both safe and comfortable in wild survival environments.
This was a top-tier product from within the Interstellar Peace Corporation, basically not for sale to the public and provided only to certain high-level personnel as high-end items for when they were out conducting asset and resource investigations.
Although the Trailblazers loved adventure, this did not mean they were willing to live in caves or sleep on the streets.
If one could go on adventures while also having a comfortable environment, why not?
There was really no need to suffer unnecessarily.
That was not how one challenged the unknown!
Moreover, many of these high-tech products had very practical effects that could effectively improve the quality of the Trailblaze adventures.
In any case, Welt, Himeko, and Dan Heng showed quite obvious emotional fluctuations when they saw so many supplies.
As for little March, she was always an optimist; Serena couldn’t tell if she had any further emotional changes, as she was always happy.
However, as a newcomer Trailblazer, Serena really didn’t know under what circumstances these supplies would be useful.
After all, she hadn’t truly experienced exploring a strange planet yet, nor did she know what would happen or what she might encounter during a Trailblaze, or what she might need in certain situations.
Therefore, she didn’t have much of a reaction to these things.
However, after some time of contact, and through the Astral Express Crew’s database and information from the Herta Space Station, she learned that the Astral Express’s Trailblaze journey was not always smooth sailing.
In the past, the Aeon of Trailblaze, Akivili, began their journey from their home—the isolated world of Pegana.
Thus, the Path of Trailblaze extended, constructing the Silver Rail in the universe, breaking the isolation between planets, connecting and interacting with one civilization after another, allowing people in the universe to know of each other’s existence, and spreading rich and colorful cultures to all corners of the universe.
Of course, the Aeon of Trailblaze did not travel alone.
As the universe connected, countless Trailblazers, filled with curiosity about the unknown world and the spirit of Trailblaze, joined the Astral Express one after another, choosing to travel with the Aeon…
They came from different worlds, had different identities, different personalities, and even different races, yet they all unanimously chose to explore the unknown.
They were the pioneers of the Trailblaze journey, the very first interactors of civilizations in the universe.
At that time, there wasn’t just one Astral Express, but a massive galactic fleet that galloped freely across the universe, exploring unknown territories.
There were even records indicating that the Astral Express had once reached the legendary location of the Aeon of Remembrance—the Garden of Recollection.
As one branch of the Trailblazers, the Astral Express followed the Aeon of Trailblaze to explore the universe, seeking neither fame nor fortune.
But later, Akivili fell!
The fall of the Aeon of Trailblaze was a major blow to the development of the Trailblaze cause.
As everyone knows, the journey of Trailblaze was by no means smooth sailing.
Therefore, the Trailblazers who lost the protection of the Aeon suffered constant attrition in one Trailblaze mission after another.
The Astral Expresses also crashed one after another in the increasingly dangerous cosmic environment, until several Amber Eras ago, the last Astral Express also disappeared in the universe.
Although the Silver Rail still existed, it could no longer be extended.
Although communication between the universes was not interrupted, it was far inferior to the past.
The Interstellar Peace Corporation wanted to open up new markets, so they spent a lot of manpower and material resources to study the Silver Rail, only to find that this creation of the Aeon’s great power was fundamentally impossible to understand; they could only use the tracks.
It was not until Himeko appeared and repaired the crashed Astral Express that it began to make a name for itself in the universe once again.
Thus, it can be seen that the universe is full of crises, and even the Astral Express has the risk of crashing, so the Astral Express Crew was quite happy to have some extra practical supplies.
After all, it was an extra layer of security!
Thinking that the Astral Express might face risks, Serena would not just stand by.
She still had some power.
Moreover, after joining the Astral Express, she could also use part of the power of the Path of Trailblaze.
Although she hadn’t actually used it to know what kind of power it specifically was, but…
according to various materials, the power of the Path of Trailblaze could involve space.
If this were in other novels, it would definitely be one of the essential abilities of the protagonist!
Serena felt that her long-dead chuunibyou soul was burning fiercely!
…
Time passed inadvertently, and the Astral Express had already departed from the Herta Space Station.
“（Hey—hey, hey—）Attention passengers, attention passengers.
The Astral Express is about to warp.
Please proceed to the parlor car immediately.
Repeating—the Astral Express is about to warp, please proceed to the parlor car immediately!” Pom-Pom’s voice rang out from the train broadcast.
After hearing the broadcast, Serena came out of her room and arrived at the parlor car.
“Alright, everyone except Dan Heng has arrived.
Everyone get ready, the Astral Express is about to depart.” At this time, Pom-Pom was already in the carriage.
Seeing that Serena had also arrived, the Conductor said seriously: “Everyone find a place to sit down, the Astral Express is preparing to warp.” “Why isn’t Dan Heng coming?” Stelle asked, a bit confused.
“He won’t be coming, we don’t need to worry about him,” Pom-Pom said nonchalantly.
“Alright, alright, hurry up and find a seat, don’t learn from March 7th…” As the Conductor said this, Pom-Pom cast a complicated look at March 7th.
Seeing that she still intended to stand in the center of the Astral Express, the Conductor shook their head helplessly.
“That’s just how March is…” Stelle looked at March 7th, then looked at Serena with curiosity, full of questions, as if begging for an explanation.
“…Little March is just trying to challenge herself, seeing if she can avoid falling over during the warp.” Stelle looked at Serena, who was sitting firmly, and then looked at March 7th, who was standing under the lights.
Her eyes were deep, and she looked eager to try.
“Don’t you dare do anything reckless.
It’s already troublesome enough to keep an eye on one, don’t make the Conductor worry.” Serena looked speechless at Stelle, who was hatching a devious plan on the side.
