Various engineering equipment started to build the first city of Iridium Star on Emerald Sea Star, named Su'ao, by the river that had been named Pan Shui. Bai Zhongqi created this name by stringing together meaningful characters on a whim (sweat of waterfalls).

"Su" refers to a famous city in Jiangnan, known for its wealth and thus having representative significance, while "ao" means a curved place by the sea where ships can dock. Even though Pan Shui is not a sea, it indeed is a bend in the river that resembles a lake in width.

Bai Zhongqi did not need to worry about the specifics of the construction process as there were naturally various unmanned devices to handle it. After the Sacred Falcon landed in Su'ao, Bai Zhongqi, accompanied by a group of people, boarded his current exclusive ride, the Aquamarine Boat, along with two military landing crafts, each carrying a group of soldiers.

The Aquamarine Boat flew eastward from Su'ao, towards the Legendary Continent. Inside Bai Zhongqi's private cabin, only he and Han Jiaxue were present, with Nan Ma, Xiao Yu, and other accompanying personnel in the outer cabins. As for Xu Lanzhou, he naturally stayed with the Sacred Falcon, overseeing the ship's affairs and the construction of Su'ao.

Bai Zhongqi still found it somewhat unbelievable. He had thought that the Iridium Star people would be very nervous about him personally leading a mission to Emerald Sea Star. Moreover, he had decided to personally visit the northern coastal city of the Southern Continent to inquire about the Mage, expecting possible opposition.

However, even Xu Lanzhou, his general who was usually particularly concerned about his safety, did not reject his proposal, at most expressing regret that he could not accompany him due to the need to command the Sacred Falcon.

It seemed that the people of Iridium Star took it for granted that the Chancellor should personally do certain things. Bai Zhongqi reflected on this for a moment and felt there might be many reasons. First, the image of the Imperial Chancellor being all-powerful and leading soldiers into battle may have taken root in the hearts of the people of Iridium Star.

Second, on many occasions, the commanders of exploration fleets would personally visit planets to understand firsthand situations, enabling better command of the fleet and arrangement of affairs. Lastly, no one seemed to think there was anything on Emerald Sea Star that could pose a threat to the Chancellor. Furthermore, the master Star Warrior Nan Ma was close at hand.

Han Jiaxue, on the other hand, seemed much calmer than Bai Zhongqi had imagined. She asked him curiously, with a hint of teasing, "Your Excellency the Chancellor, what do you plan to do?"

Bai Zhongqi did not hide his intentions, as he had already explained the situation to Han Jiaxue beforehand, proving her to be a trustworthy person.

"The Mage we are looking for is very likely in the city called Infia. For now, I have no plans to attack the city. If possible, it's better to blend in."

Perhaps what he truly cared about were those mages who might be Star Warriors.

When the wave-rider ship arrived near the city of Infia, it was already local midnight. Naturally, the spaceship didn't make a grand entrance into the city; Bai Zhongqi chose to land discreetly in the outskirts, still a distance away from Infia city.

As he and Han Jiaxue stepped out of the invisibility-mode-activated ship, Han Jiaxue covered her mouth in astonishment and said, "Isn't it supposed to be night now? Why is the biggest moon so bright?"

Bai Zhongqi wasn't surprised by this and explained to his girlfriend, "This galaxy is part of a three-body system; Bilin Star is too far away so its brightness is more like that of a star. The moon we see now is actually the sun, which is Centauri Alpha's A-star, located more than twenty astronomical units away from Emerald Sea Star.

A-star and B-star rotate around each other, and Emerald Sea Star orbits B-star, creating Emerald Sea Star's extremely complex day-night phenomenon.

During different years, different seasons, since the perceived size and distance of A-star from Emerald Sea Star vary, the brightness of night on Emerald Sea Star also varies. What we see now only happens when Emerald Sea Star is closest to A-star—the brightness of A-star is 6,300 times brighter than the moon on Earth, almost like an overcast day on Earth, and it doesn't feel like night at all.

Moreover, Emerald Sea Star itself has three smaller moons, which are the real moons. These satellites, along with the two stars and Emerald Sea Star itself, are constantly changing positions, resulting in frequent eclipses.

Due to the curvature of Emerald Sea Star itself, sometimes, at night, they see A-star as if it were incomplete, like our moon, which is what you are seeing right now. The inhabitants of Emerald Sea Star haven't realized the difference between A-star and the other moons, calling it the primary moon and the others, secondary moons, suggesting the smaller moons should obey the larger moon.

If B-star is between Emerald Sea Star and A-star, then for those few years, at night, they can only see the real moons and not A-star, which they refer to as 'dark nights.' And if Emerald Sea Star's orbit takes it between A-star and B-star, then for many years, there will be 'bright nights,' much like daylight, during the night right now.

It's because of the complexity of this astronomical system that the calendar of the people of Emerald Sea Star is still full of errors. They use bright nights and dark nights as calendrical tools, but since A-star and B-star rotate around each other, this calculation is inaccurate.

It is also because of the inaccuracy of the calendar that Emerald Sea Star has a poor concept of time, and its agricultural technology is relatively primitive, leading to slow development."

Han Jiaxue exclaimed, "It's really complicated. Earth is better with only one sun and one moon. If students here had to learn geography and astronomy, it would almost drive them to despair."
