Of course, this is nothing, if you want to decipher a certain technology, you must have this basic strength, and it is impossible for medieval earthlings to decipher gas engines. Among other things, Thomas's retinal projection technology is a prime example. This pre-technology is theoretically complete, and it can't be copied (although a new material is unintentionally inserted, it is indisputable that it has failed).

According to the master, there are two core technologies of that gun, one is material science, and the other is energy storage technology. Others, such as compressed air pumps, are technologies that are not overdone even on Earth. But these two core technologies want to be deciphered on Earth - unless someone like a master helps them, it is simply wishful thinking. So it's good to leave that gun on Earth and make a small number of Earthlings suspicious. It can even play a role in facilitating people to know that human beings are not the only ones in this universe, and there is a sense of crisis.

In short, just leave this thing aside and leave it alone. Anyway, people also regard this matter as a major secret, and it is impossible to leak it out.

It doesn't matter if it leaks out. You must know that for a long time, earthlings have believed in the existence of aliens, and even believed in the existence of Martians with a higher level of technology than Earth (of course, not so many people believe in aliens now, and Mars has long been confirmed to be a planet that lacks the conditions for the birth of life). However, the life that should have been lived was still the same, and it did not cause any major social impact or anything.

"All the specimens are ......," Lu Wu asked, although he was not interested in specimens, but he could also see that Thomas was interested. To be clear, it's not that Thomas has a particular fondness for this – he's had seen enough of these mutated creatures when he's been in the camp – but simply because it's kept at home, it's definitely good material to brag about in front of the guests!

"Yes," said Thomas, with some regret. "I don't know how many more I can keep. ”

This time, presiding over the work of the scientific expedition team was simply nothing for Thomas personally. At most, it can only be regarded as providing effective help to Lu Wu and the others, so they have further narrowed the distance between each other. It's a pity that Thomas knows very well that if he wants to join the supernatural ability group and learn to master the supernatural ability, he needs not only a close relationship with each other, but also the talent necessary to cultivate this ability. He was now beginning to suspect that he really didn't have that talent.

Thankfully, however, this group of supernatural abilities is not the kind of existence that rejects people from thousands of miles away. Even if he can't learn to master supernatural abilities, Thomas has a lot to do.

Thomas stood up and looked at his collection of loot. Although it is said that during this time in the camp, these specimens are actually tired of seeing. But thinking that it would soon be difficult to see these things again, he couldn't help but take out a few of his favorite items and put them in the hold of the cargo ship. Among them was a butterfly that could be described as a rainbow, a giant python, a rat with scales, and several other things.

Lu Wu also followed and looked around. He's not interested in collecting specimens, but he does admit that the stuff looks cool. Keeping it at home, if a guest comes over, it can make the guest exclaim - for a collector, the guest's amazement is the best recognition of him.

His gaze flickered on something—next to the specimen of the snake, there was a stone.

There is nothing special about the stone itself, but it is very abrupt when placed here. He suddenly remembered the appearance of the artifact described by the Dream King, and immediately laughed at himself for being too allergic. How could it be so coincidental?

"What is this?" Lu Wu finally asked, pointing to the stone.

"Ah, this one was cut out of the snake's belly. Thomas said. "I call it 'Snake Stone'. ”

"It looks ......"

"Yes, it's unremarkable. Thomas agreed. "They say there's a lot of precedents for this kind of thing, but it's not very common. So I put them together...... A snake that swallows a stone, and a stone that is swallowed by a snake. "Even if it's just an ordinary stone in essence, after hearing this story, you should look at this stone a few more times.

No way...... Lu Wu thought so in his heart. But another thought came to his mind.

The master once said that Thomas was a lucky man - in an exaggerated phrase, he was called the Son of Fortune. According to the theory of the master, this is a special phenomenon that appears in the trajectory of the world itself, just like the so-called "five-star alignment" and other astronomical phenomena, which are very rare and very accidental, but they are inevitable in the development of the world. It is also thanks to Thomas that he has no ambitions, and is only interested in photography, interviews, mysterious phenomena and so on, otherwise he would definitely be able to stand at the pinnacle of human society and change the pattern of the world. If he is ambitious, politically speaking, he can rule over a country, become the president of the United States, the British prime minister, the president of China, etc., economically, a business empire is not a problem, and scientifically speaking, it is not Edison but also Einstein...... In short, his temperament really dragged him back - of course, then again, if it weren't for that, it wouldn't be Lu Wu's turn to get acquainted with Thomas.

And it's not just his personal luck, but also the people he comes into contact with can share this luck. His grandfather, since Thomas was born, has had a smooth journey, from a small and medium-sized businessman to fight his way out of thousands of troops, established a business dynasty, and ranked among the world's top rich people (although he is only third-rate in the circle, but he is also in the circle). After falling out with Thomas (as mentioned earlier, for the sake of the university), the business dynasty immediately went down and was in crisis. Now after reconciling with Thomas, it was immediately a salted fish turning over and making a comeback. Lu Wu didn't know the situation of the Thomas family business, but he could also understand from the fragmentary information obtained from Director Gao and Thomas that the situation of the people was not thriving, but the contradictions were eased, and the overall situation was quite good.

If that's Thomas...... It is indeed possible......

Lu Wu stepped forward and reached out to pick up the stone. Thomas didn't understand what Lu Wu wanted to do, but he didn't stop it.

The moment the stone was in his hands, Lu Wu felt that the weight of this thing was different from that of ordinary stones. Yes, it is impossible to describe exactly, but there is a difference in weight. He looked against the stone and saw several pits, or small holes, in it.

It's not a straight hole, but a slight turn, and in short, the naked eye can't see the depths directly.

Lu Wu once had a high-definition and proportional statue of the Gasha people (although he sold it for money soon after he got it), and he had at least a general impression of the various physiology of the Gasha people. These small holes are obviously not so suitable for human fingers, but if they were the hands of a Gashe, they should be just right for the fingers to stick into.

He put his finger into the dimple and felt the peculiar touch at the end of his finger.

If this thing was natural, the fingertips would have been empty, and nothing could be felt except hard stone, but this time...... It seems to be the touch of a switch.

It can't be true, right? Lu Wu's heart was ecstatic, and his fingers changed to another hole to dig in.

It's still the same feeling, the end of the finger is the touch of a switch. Then, several other caves Lu Wuyi tried one by one, and soon determined: natural things could never be like this.

Fortunately, Lu Wu has more or less seen the world. Although the ecstasy in my heart almost wanted to jump, but at least on the surface it was silent.

This is it! No doubt this is it!

To be honest, Lu Wu never thought that he would find the artifact so easily-this thing was originally too difficult to find, so he gave up it as soon as possible. If you look for it now......

Lu Wu suddenly remembered what the Supreme Star had said to him before. If there is such a thing...... So......

Before he could think of anything more, someone slammed the door open from the outside.

A middle-aged white man with five big and three thick. Although there was not much contact, Lu Wu still recognized the captain for the first time.

The captain of this second-hand freighter...... Although it is only a second-hand freighter, the ship has never had any accidents for decades, and the captain is also an experienced old seaman. Although I feel a little greedy for small cheap, but this year's love of being greedy for small cheap is not a big deal.

Thomas's eyes were also on the captain.

It should be noted that this captain does not look at the appearance of five big and three thick, but he is the type with a pig like a bright heart. I don't know through what channel, but he now knows two things. The first is that this Thomas is a big man, whether it is a family or an individual, he should belong to the very, very rich kind. So he always lowered his eyebrows in front of Thomas and never mentioned any nasty topics. The second is that these people except Thomas are all Tomas's subordinates, guests, and the like.

Of course, and most importantly, the personal escort of a big man like Thomas should be a batch of high-value goods. The value of the logs he had originally carried on his ship was not the same.

"There seems to be some trouble out there. ”

Trouble?Thomas glanced at Lu Wu in confusion, and then at the captain. This is above the sea! What trouble can there be at sea?

A few minutes later, a crowd gathered at the bow of the boat.

The sky is cloudless, the sun is shining on the body, and with the Shanghai breeze, it is hot. The sea is rippling with blue waves, and a small boat is approaching this side from afar. If this continues, the two sides will meet diagonally.

It's not the kind of accidental encounter at sea, but the other party is obviously coming towards their ship!

The captain had changed several directions before, trying to stagger the rendezvous, but as soon as he changed, the others also changed. Even if foreigners don't have the phrase "those who come are not good, those who are good don't come", at least the relevant meaning is universal.

The captain took out the binoculars and looked at them, and handed them to Thomas, who also looked at them. Although Lu Wu didn't use a telescope, he could also see the situation in the distance with the power of the magic ring.

The ship was not very large, it could only be considered a small boat. And it's not the kind of "small and high-end" yacht, it's the kind of old, small boat suitable for offshore sailing. Moreover, this ship is a "three-no" in the true sense, and it can be seen that it does not have any signs to prove what country or company it is, and of course there is no ship name.

"This is ......" Thomas had thought of that possibility before, and now he was even more certain. "Pirates??"

"It seems so. ”

It's not news that there are pirates in this area, and ordinary people probably think of it as an anecdote, but the captains who actually take this route are cautious. But everyone really thought that they would come so early.

This area is not very far from the mainland.

"Can you ask for help?" asked the captain.

"We've asked for help, but I'm afraid it's not going to work. The captain replied honestly. The sea limits everything, and Southeast Asian countries are not naval powers, with limited fleets, and this is a vacuum (pirates will really take advantage of the opportunity). There were no other warships around...... There is simply no way to be protected by the armed forces of the state.
