I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

Chapter 407 Humanity’s Passion for Precious Metals (Second Update)

Xia Chujian asked Qilu to take over the mechanical intelligent driving of the starship so that it could follow the starry sky cruiser.

After settling here, Xia Chujian left quietly and returned to the top deck above.

Then there, he switched his mecha to close-fitting mode, no longer three meters high, and turned on the concealment function.

She quietly asked Qilu: "How long will it take to scan the entire starship?"

Qilu said: "Maybe it will take half an hour."

Xia Chujian was a little bored. He walked around the deck a few times and asked Qilu, "Where is the most suspicious place? Do you have any clues?"

Qilu said: "The most suspicious thing now is the fourth floor, which is the bottom material warehouse of this starship."

Xia Chujian: "...hiding in the material warehouse?! These star thieves do have experts!"

Hiding the stolen valuables in the warehouse where they store daily supplies is like hiding a drop of water in the ocean.

It's not that easy to find.

Xia Chujian's heart moved, "I'll go to the fourth floor to have a look."

She returned to the starship and took the elevator directly down to the fourth floor.

In such a large starship, the elevator seems to be unmanned, which looks a bit weird.

But because the area here is very large and there is no one else around, the monitoring and control systems on the starship are all controlled by Qilu.

Just like the Falcon-class star cruiser she saw at the beginning of summer, she went up and down in the elevator without anyone knowing.

Xia Chujian quickly arrived at the fourth floor of the No. 18 starship organized by the Bodhi Leaf Star Pirates.

This is the most spacious place in the entire starship.

Various starships, airships, aircraft and aircraft stolen by the star thieves, and even some scrapped star fighter planes, are all piled up on this floor in a mess.

The material warehouse is right in the middle of these rags.

Five circular buildings stand side by side. The building materials inside and outside the warehouse are composite metals that are fireproof, waterproof and resistant to chemical corrosion.

This metal is the product of smelting conventional metals and special metals in a certain ratio.

Xia Chujian walked around these five large circular warehouses.

Qilu opened the door of the circular warehouse in the middle and said, "They are all the same structure. I haven't found anything special yet."

"What should I say?" Xia Chujian said as he walked in.

Qilu said: "The warehouses are all the same circular shape, and they are full of conventional materials."

"Then why do you think this is the most suspicious place?"

Qilu hesitated for a while and then said: "Based on their volume and building materials, Qilu can estimate the volume of these five circular warehouses. But based on this volume, one of the warehouses is different from the others. .It exerts the greatest pressure on the floor.”

"What is the pressure on the floor?"

"...That's the weight of it. The weight of this warehouse."

"The warehouse still has weight? Isn't it just for storing things?"

"Yes, the entire warehouse is filled with things, so it has weight. And the floor of the starship can withstand it."

"Qilu scan found that the starship floor has the same tolerance to the other four warehouses, except for the middle one, which almost made a concave arc on the starship floor..."

Xia Chujian suddenly realized: "You mean, there are things here that are different from the other four warehouses?"

Qilu said: "Yes, master, that's it. However, Qilu didn't find anything different from the other four warehouses."

Xia Chujian said: "Then I will take a look at each one."

She first walked around the warehouse in the middle.

Inside are some common daily necessities, such as clothes, shoes and socks, quilts and sheets, various household items, household appliances, and many consumables, such as toilet paper, plastic wrap, etc.

They all looked brand new. Even the tags on the clothing items had not been removed and they were sealed in the packaging bags.

Then I went to the other four warehouses, and they still had the same daily necessities, but the colors and styles were different.

So what makes the weight of the warehouse in the middle different from the four warehouses next to it?

Xia Chujian returned to the warehouse in the middle and asked Qilu, "Is there a darkroom here?"

Qilu said: "The volume scanned inside is the same as the volume scanned outside. There is no darkroom."

Xia Chujian looked at the warehouse, frowned and said, "Is it really the same? Is there no place to hide a dark room?"

Qilu said: "No, Qilu scanned it several times."

"Show me the specific dimensions..." Xia Chu didn't give up, although she knew that Qilu, as a mechanical intelligence, could not make mistakes in calculations.

Unless its calculation direction is wrong, it is a logic problem, not a calculation problem.

Qilu displayed the scanned and measured data on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.

Xia Chujian looked at Qilu's calculation formula, touched his chin, and said: "Qilu, that's not right. How do you say that the volume scanned inside is the same as the volume outside? - It's obviously different! You can't see it so wrong. There are so many!”

Xia Chujian became excited.

Qilu said: "That is minus the volume of the warehouse wall. If you add back the volume of the wall, the inside and outside will be the same."

"Wall?"

Xia Chujian looked at the curvature of the wall in front of her and tapped it with her fingers.

This time, Qilu heard something different.

It's slightly excited voice sounded like a child: "Ahhh! The master is so smart! There is something wrong with this wall!"

Xia Chujian: "...you didn't scan the outer wall?"

"We scanned it, but the inside and outside of these buildings are the same. There is no darkroom in the warehouse, and the building materials on the outer walls have electromagnetic shielding properties, so Qilu didn't notice it."

Qilu sincerely apologized, "If you don't knock it, Qilu won't hear the difference in the sound. I'm sorry, Master, Qilu is careless. There should be a problem in the middle of the wall of the warehouse, not the space inside the warehouse."

Xia Chujian was very interested: "It's not your fault! You don't have long hands, so you can't knock - then scan it quickly!"

Qilu: "..."

Its childish voice was a little frustrated: "Master, Qilu will never have hands, and will never..."

Xia Chujian: "..."

Is this still aggrieved?

She said seriously: "It doesn't matter, Qilu, I don't mind your lack of skills."

Qilu's childlike voice immediately cheered up: "It's good that the master doesn't mind! Although Qilu has no hands, Qilu's brain is better than humans with hands! Qilu will definitely not let the master down!"

It actually includes all humans with hands...

Xia Chujian smiled: "Yeah, yeah, Qilu, come on, check it out!"

Qilu's cute girl said: "Master, the exterior wall building materials of this warehouse can shield electromagnetic fields. Just by scanning, Qilu cannot detect what's going on inside the wall."

"What should we do?"

Qilu said: "Master, use the mecha's mechanical arm."

Xia Chujian immediately put his mecha-clad robot hand on the outer wall and let Qilu operate it.

Five minutes later, Qilu didn't know what method he used to peel off a small piece of the seemingly very hard and tight alloy wall.

The material inside the wall was displayed in front of Xia Chujian's eyes, and it was a bright golden light!

"Gold! The outer walls of this entire warehouse are so thick! So high! Are they all made of gold?!" Xia Chujian was inexplicably surprised.

She looked affectionately at the thick exterior wall of the building in front of her that was at least five meters high, half a meter thick, and ten meters in diameter, as if she was looking at the favorite of her life...

Qilu doesn't quite understand human beings' passion for these precious metals.

It said objectively: "In addition to gold, Qilu also detected a lot of cash and jewelry inside. - Do you want to dismantle it?"

Because Qilu dug a hole in the wall, its electromagnetic signal could detect the inside.

Otherwise, it would not know what is inside, but if the entire wall had to be dismantled, the workload would be too great and unrealistic.

Xia Chujian's eyes flickered. After a while, he took a deep breath and said regretfully: "If there were only a few million, I would have made the decision and divided it among Chang Shengnan and the others. Now there is still a whole wall of gold. I don’t dare to have jewelry and cash..."

She probably meant to hand it over.

Qilu remained silent.

In this regard, it can't help Xia Chujian make a decision.

And its underlying logic does not include this type of behavioral judgment.

Xia Chujian returned to his Falcon-class D1 star cruiser with deep regret.

At this time, the one hundred and ninety-one student fighter planes and ten interstellar airships had all entered the belly of the cruiser.

Sun Jiahao and the others handled the situation in an orderly manner and did not let the students and instructors leave the fighter warehouse, let alone the belly of the fifth floor.

His reason was that everything on the cruiser was subject to the captain's orders.

The captain is silent now and there is nothing they can do.

Most of the students and instructors expressed their understanding, while only a few were still angry.

One of them was a good friend of Lu Luyu, and he immediately said, "Where are we in Xia Chu? Why is she hiding from us?"

Sun Jiahao said honestly: "That's the captain, who are you? Why does she want to see you?"

The girl screamed: "She is the captain?! How is that possible! This is a star cruiser!"

Most of the students and instructors laughed together.

Chen Yansheng immediately said: "My sister Xia led the star cruiser of the Fourth Star Fleet to rescue us. Of course she is the captain! What are you thinking? How can you become an elite pilot if you are so stupid?!"

One sentence made the girl speechless.

In fact, not everyone who comes to this flight base for training is a true elite pilot.

Some people get their titles based on their ability, some people get their titles based on their family background, and some people get their titles based on flattery, gifts, and bribes...

Everyone is tacitly aware of this "unworthy of the name" situation, but they don't usually say it so bluntly and harshly.

But this time, these people still looked down on Xia Chujian shamelessly and apologized. The silent majority did not want to spoil them anymore.

Everyone was talking about it, saying that the girl would have to hide in her star fighter.

The rest of the people were wandering around the hall of the fifth-floor fighter warehouse.

In fact, they stayed in their respective star fighter planes for three days and three nights, and they were still in a state of tension, and the bones in their bodies were almost frozen.

After Xia Chujian returned from Starship No. 18, she saw the message Sun Jiahao left for her.

Xia Chujian connected to the intercom in the captain's room. Sun Jiahao immediately reported to her the situation in the fifth floor cabin just now, and asked Xia Chujian: "Captain, do you want to let them up?"

Xia Chujian said: "No, we can go back soon. Don't let them run around. They are on the fifth floor and can only stay in the fighter warehouse. They cannot go anywhere else on the fifth floor."

There are weapons and ammunition reserves on the fifth floor. How could they be allowed to wander around?

It's even more impossible to get to the upper floors.

Xia Chujian directly opened the virtual display screen in the fighter warehouse on the fifth floor and spoke to everyone.

She had taken off her mecha helmet and was only wearing the military uniform of the Fourth Starfleet Fleet. She was sitting in the captain's room and said with a smile: "Hello, classmates and instructors. It's not that I didn't let you out on purpose. It's really... There is a special reason.”

This is the second update. There will be an update at 05:00 in the evening.
