Chapter 1208 Extraterrestrial Warehouse
In three days, Qu Jianlei relied on the detectors deployed to evade four waves of patrol teams.
However, in good conscience, the frequency of patrols has been somewhat reduced, and the sensitivity of patrol ships is not high.
Among the four waves of patrol teams, only one discovered the detector and then groped after it.
In order not to be overtaken, the three starships had to turn in a strange direction and inevitably ran into an armed merchant ship.
The distance between the two was more than half a million kilometers, but when the merchant ships on the opposite side saw these three starships, they turned around and speeded away.
"Is this... news from the black area?" Qu Jianlei frowned, "You're actually so scared."
When Hua Scorpion saw this, he couldn't help but say, "Boss, we have worked too hard for this battalion-level ship."
But then, Bentley said, "Hello, battalion-level ship!"
Hua Scorpion didn't shy away from his boss, "I know it's okay, but it's just too hard."
"When the news spreads and other starships come over, those three may not be able to come back in time!"
Qu Jianlei cleared his throat and said, "Wait for another half day. If they don't come back, Hua Xiezi, you go notify us and we will evacuate!"
That's the good thing about having a teleportation array. At least the information can be transmitted in time.
As if they heard his decision, the three nutritional supplements returned together two hours later.
This time all three of them gained something, the most important of which was Mu Guang, who actually found out about the safe jump space.
In addition to several jump spaces, he also obtained a suitable off-world warehouse.
Extraterrestrial warehouses are warehouses that are not on habitable stars, but are located in space.
This is mainly to facilitate people to store and retrieve supplies in space. After all, it is a bit too troublesome to return to the habitable star every time to replenish supplies.
There are also space supply stations that can replenish supplies in space. However, the cost of operating supply stations is high, and the prices are naturally not low.
Later, major forces built their own supply depots, which not only saved costs, but also allowed them to store some private items.
Over time, it became an extraterrestrial warehouse. Later, official forces intervened, and it became a bit like a bank warehouse lockbox.
For interstellar adventurers, it can be considered a secret camp approved by the government - as long as you give enough money, you can store anything!
As expected of the inner circle, although the investigation is very strict, as long as you have money and connections, everything is easy.
There are some such off-ground warehouses outside the core circle, but the government inspections are stricter, so Qu Jianlei never considers them.
Mu Guang vowed, "The other party said...as long as it is not potentially dangerous, no one will care about what is stored."
Zi Jiuxian was a little puzzled when he heard this, "What is potential danger? Our battalion-level ship is damaged, so it is not dangerous?"
Mu Guang raised his hand and pointed at her helplessly, "You can't ask like that, understand?"
"If you don't ask, the other party won't care. If they saw it, they can pretend they didn't see it. Once you ask...how can they pretend not to know?"
"Well," Qu Jianlei nodded, convinced, "The warehouse management work is quite busy, so it is normal to make some omissions occasionally."
"That's the truth," Mu Guang also nodded, "You have to give others a chance to act stupid, right?"
Zi Jiuxian understood what he heard, but still frowned, "Although the Keying-class ship is damaged, it is still worth a lot of money... and there is still responsibility!"
Mu Guang rolled his eyes when he heard this, "I'll give you a lot of money. Whoever dares to be a monster should give it a try!"
"Oh," Mrs. Jia sighed softly, "Jiu Xian, don't ask, this is how the empire is. Once you get the money, you will be the master."
Hearing this, Hua Scorpion asked curiously, "How much does it cost?"
"Two hundred million," Mu Guang stretched out two fingers, "renting the warehouse for three months... the news about the jump space is for nothing."
"So expensive?" Hua Xiezi was stunned. Although the team is not short of money now, she has come through hard times.
"That junk ship...well, it's the boss's favorite. How much can it be sold for?"
"That's not how the accounts are calculated," Mu Guang said seriously. "The news about the warehouse and jump space is that they are packaged and sold."
"Although it is indeed a bit expensive, if it wasn't for my sake, if I had replaced it, 500 million people would not have rented it!"
The nutritional supplement nodded when he heard this, "It's not expensive. If you just sell information, how will you charge? This is the best!"
Qu Jianlei also said, "Spent 200 million? Hua Xingzi gave him the money."
"No," Mu Guang waved his hand and said seriously, "I really can't ask for this money."
"I've got the golden dragon scissors, boss, do you want money from me? If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have bothered to ask for the money!"
A while ago, when Qu Jianlei used the scissors to cut off the patrol ship's tail, he accidentally muttered "Golden Dragon Scissors."
This then became the official name for scissors.
Maybe they don't realize it, but everyone thinks that the boss must have a purpose when he calls him that.
Mrs. Jia even kept pestering Qu Jianlei, asking him to give the big seal and the old umbrella a name.
Qu Jianlei's excuses were ineffective for many times, so he could only name the old umbrella Xiaoyao Umbrella, while Da Yin refused to name it anything.
——The key point is that this seal is incomplete. Once it can be completed, there is no guarantee that it will still have any function.
Qu Jianlei touched his forehead when he heard this, "Don't forget it. If you can't afford it anyway, remember to tell me."
He always felt that it was a good thing for brothers to settle accounts openly, but Mu Guang's attitude felt like it would increase the harmonious atmosphere of the team.
It's better not to think about it. They are just a gang of outlaws with today and no tomorrow. What serious company matters should they consider? Next, Qu Jianlei put the company-class ship into the super large storage ring, and the 1314th ship grabbed the battalion-class ship and galloped away.
After evading two more patrols, they arrived at the area where they could jump and started directly.
He has long heard the name of the inner circle, and this time he can finally see his true appearance!
After the jump, the feeling... was still the same. If it weren't for the coordinate prompt, he would have thought it was ordinary space.
This is how things should be in the world, it is nothing more than artificially defined.
Now that you have reached the core circle, you should drive honestly. If you do not take the official channel, you must not jump casually.
So Qu Jianlei controlled the starship to jump again... This time the jump point was very close to the extraterrestrial warehouse.
Then they started driving towards the direction of the warehouse, where was the huge Tianluo Nebula.
The nebula spans more than 50 billion kilometers, there are many stars in it, and the celestial phenomena are relatively chaotic.
So far, the Empire has only developed a small area of the Tianluo Nebula.
But this is not unusual, it is just a question of whether it is worth it or not.
Just like the Blue Star people have been able to launch a Mars lander, there are still many uninhabited areas on their own planet.
And although the Tianluo Nebula is chaotic, countless survey results show that the danger is not very high.
In addition, this is a resource of the core circle, so it is necessary to achieve orderly development.
While driving, they could occasionally see starships passing by, but those starships didn't show anything unusual when they saw them.
As expected of the inner circle, these people should be used to seeing all kinds of weird things.
As we get closer to the nebula, there are more and more stars, large and small, and fewer and fewer starships can be seen in the surrounding area.
It took them six days to reach the outer edge of Tianluo Nebula.
Before entering the nebula, a small ship was greeted in front, painted in orange.
This is a sign of civilian security, and the other party issued a signal, "The area ahead is a controlled area, please identify yourself."
Mu Guang took out a memory card and inserted it into the control system. A constantly changing holographic image appeared in front of him.
The other party verified for about ten seconds, and then typed a line of text, "If you need navigation, please follow us."
From beginning to end, they didn't even say anything. As for the dilapidated battalion-class ship that 1314 was holding, they simply ignored it.
The small ship traveled about 200,000 kilometers when a gray star appeared in front of it.
Immediately afterwards, another small ship came up and the orange-painted small ship left.
Ship 1314 followed the new small ship for more than kilometers and finally reached the sky above the star.
The star has a diameter of just over three thousand kilometers. It looks very desolate, but it has rows of neat holes.
It's just the familiar feeling of a bank vault, only magnified countless times.
The second small ship also stopped, and a sweet female voice came from the public channel.
"Your guest has one working day to process the shipment. If it exceeds the deadline, please inform me in advance."
Needless to say what happened next, it took them two hours to find the warehouse.
The two doors of the warehouse are more than 100 meters high, and the width is an astonishing 150 meters.
Hua Scorpion couldn't help but mutter, "This is... even a division-level battleship can park inside."
Qing Hu shook his head when he heard this, "If it's at the master level, it has to be folded, and it can't be that special shape."
But even though it was so high, 1314's robotic arm still contracted, and it waited until the door opened before carrying the battalion-level ship in.
After entering, there is a long passage with bright spotlights above and on both sides, illuminating the passage in detail.
After walking about five kilometers, it suddenly became clear that there was a huge hall with a height of three hundred meters.
In the corner of the hall, there are several rows of mobile rooms, but otherwise it is empty and looks like a proper warehouse.
After Qu Jianlei put down the battalion-level ship, he took out the company-level ship from the storage ring and temporarily stored it here.
1314 turned around and flew out. After Mu Guang closed the door with the memory card, he looked at Qu Jianlei.
"The days are starting to count. We have to go to Rock Star as soon as possible... I need to find out the way."
If you want to go to Panshi Star without taking the regular route, it will take at least ten days, which is too much for them.
So now, he wants to look for anyone he knows inside the nebula.
There are many stars in Tianluo, and many people are engaged in development work here.
Due to the supervision of the government and the need to prevent excessive consumption of resources, most development zones are located on the outer edge of the nebula.
Even so, the total number of people working here exceeds 300 million, and this is based on the extensive use of machinery.
If it weren't for such a scale, who would be able to afford it and come here to set up an off-planet warehouse?
