Q: What is it like to be a high-IQ genius with a maximum force value?

Ji Tang walked in the silent and unmanned research institute, his body acted spontaneously, and perfectly dodged the surveillance of the star network. Although she had just escaped from the hospital, she felt that her brain was clearer than ever. Since the news of Xu Jing's death came, the original owner has been secretly investigating the truth, and even arranged three retreats for himself without knowing Xu Jing's life and death, including the option of smuggling out of the country. coincides with Ji Tang's thoughts.

So what she has to do now is to leave the territory of the republic within eight hours, according to the original owner's plan.

It turns out that the world in the eyes of geniuses is like this - very magical, and it is difficult to describe in words. From any insignificant trace, a large amount of information can be obtained, and the effective parts can be extracted in an instant. The high-speed brain can be accurate to the millimeter, and almost without special thought, the process and the result can be directly deduced.

To put it simply, the whole world is "opening up" to her.

Ji Tang entered his exclusive real room without pause, bypassed the huge metal tool table, knocked straight open an inconspicuous cabinet, and through a series of complex verifications, took out a small black velvet box. She slowly opened it, looking at the unpretentious ring in the box with mixed tastes.

This is the ring that Xu Jing proposed to her, which seems to be worthless, but it is smelted from the wreckage of an enemy warship that he blew up for the first time, and it is a more precious memento than a diamond for a soldier like him.

"Share all my glory with you." This phrase is engraved on the inner wall of the ring.

It was precisely because of the special significance of this ring that she decided to link the research of her life's work with it.

Ji Tang took a deep breath and put the ring on his ring finger-

When the hospital and the military found out that Ji Tang was missing, she was already on the smuggling boat that had departed.

At this time, it was only five hours after she fainted at the funeral.

Stowaway ship is the name in the vernacular, and it should actually be called a civilian starship. During the state of war, all trade between the Republic and the Caton Empire was suspended. But there are always those who are willing to take risks for the sake of profit, such as the high-grade tobacco of the Republic, which has been sold for ten times the price in an empire that cannot produce tobacco, and there is no market for it.

When Xu Jing had just had an accident, the original owner applied to the above, asking to go to the border martyrdom site to investigate on the spot, and after being refused, he quickly contacted the black market, forged a complete set of identity documents, and was ready to smuggle out of the country at any time. Because of his popularity and exposure on the star network, Ji Tang had to cut his hair short, even shaved off half of his eyebrows, put on glasses, and pretended to be a schoolgirl.

When she did these things, she was so calm that even she was surprised, until she boarded the stowaway boat and stepped on the stripped steel plate, that she felt a little more realistic.

According to the Republic's war laws, a person who smuggles into an enemy country in time of war is tantamount to treason. So she was accompanied by either opportunists, outlaws, or people who did not agree with the republican system from the bottom of their hearts. They sat in the back compartment in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was silent and solemn. Interstellar travel in this era has become quite common, and everyone is in a step-by-step and orderly manner, because there is a lack of trust in each other and no willingness to talk.

During the flight, there are occasional uncomfortable reactions, but no one cares about the situation of others.

A girl beside Ji Tang had been pale since she took off, trembling all over, and vomiting. Ji Tang took out a bottle of nutrient solution from his backpack and handed it to her silently.

"Thank you." The girl whispered, took the bottle, and returned it to her with only a small sip.

Ji Tang couldn't help but say, "Drink more, the road is still very long." ”

The girl shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "It's because it's still very long, so it's ......" for nearly half a month of interstellar drifting, and the snake head does not allow them to carry more than five kilograms of luggage, even if their bags are all filled with nutrient solution, they will definitely not be able to hold up the Caton Empire. You can only buy it from the snake head at a high price, and as for what the price is, it all depends on the mood of the other party.

What's more, this is the death of the whole family, who would only take a bulky and worthless nutrient solution and give up other assets?

"I've heard that stowaway ships are especially prone to interstellar pirates." The girl looked at the endless starry sky outside the tempered glass, her eyes were out of focus, and she muttered to herself, "If you die here, then you have no place to die......

Ji Tang knew that what she said was the truth. Because they do not fly the flag of any country and do not have official symbols, stowaway ships are often targeted by interstellar pirates. Even if it is blown up, it will not be possible to file a case. Those who do this work basically pin their heads to the waistbands of their trousers. The smugglers have no human rights and protections, and their living conditions are extremely harsh, with less than half of them surviving safely.

Like the smuggling ship she is staying in now, she has simply inspected it when she came up, without any security measures, let alone the standard requirements of warships, even the most inferior civilian starships are far inferior. It is probably the product of secondary recycling and transformation after elimination, and the infrastructure is damaged.

In accordance with the current norms of the Republic, more than half of the crew should be guaranteed a nutrition compartment, an escape boat, an accompanying medical team of at least three people, and system maintenance personnel. But the back compartment where they were located was cramped and dark, and there were no decent beds, and the men and women had to sleep with their clothes together, shivering in the low temperatures—yes, the thermostat was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

In the past ten days, everyone except Ji Tang has lost a lot of weight, and the girl next to her, curled up, almost has half a life left.

"How long are we...... Can it arrive? The girl asked as she licked her chapped lips and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Tang said calmly: "Yesterday, in order to avoid a meteorite, we deviated from the fifteen-six-degree route, which will extend the voyage by three to five days. This is still a conservative estimate. ”

The girl had a trace of despair in her eyes, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid, I can't get through it." ”

At this moment, a snake head walked in, holding several bottles of nutrient solution. Like hungry wolves, their eyes glowing green, they rushed forward, holding the colorful bills in their hands, and shouted, "Give it to me!" I'm going to! The limbs pushed each other, but there was a smile on their faces.

"The old rule is that the one with the highest price wins. From 100 crystals. ”

The cheapest bottle of nutrient solution in his hand will not really cost more than one crystal. But the final sale price was three hundred and twenty, and it was bought by a middle-aged man who was dressed extraordinarily. The seemingly pampered man stuck out his tongue and licked the cap of the bottle, smiling contentedly.

Ji Tang recognized him. As a student, she had heard his high-ambition, incendiary speeches, when he was the most favored second-in-command of the progressive party. Three years ago, a bribery scandal broke out, and he was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life.

The snake head still has a bottle of nutrient solution left in his hand, waiting to be sold at the price.

Ji Tang glanced at the girl beside him, raised his hand, and said loudly, "I want it." ”

The head of the snake asked, "How much money are you going to pay?" ”

The few remaining people who were going to buy the nutrient solution were nervous and stared at her.

Ji Tang said calmly: "I don't have any money. "The backpack has a limited capacity, and she won't put such useless things.

The others laughed and mocked: "You dare to bargain without money, you're crazy hungry, right?" ”

"But I can help you fix your gear." Ji Tang said slowly, "Your engine was damaged, when you crossed the meteorite belt yesterday." ”

The head of the snake was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

"Observe." Ji Tang pointed to his eyes and brain, "Calculate the direction of the meteorite's fall." ”

The head of the snake looked at her in disbelief. But experience told him that there were many cattle among the smugglers in the past, and this young woman might really have some ability. And she was on the smuggling boat, and she couldn't escape if she wanted to. He agreed: "Okay, you come with me." ”

"Give the nutrient solution first."

"This ......"

"It's just a bottle of the lowest nutrient solution, what's the pity?" Ji Tang sneered.

The snake head hesitated for a moment, and in the jealous eyes of everyone, he threw the nutrient solution to Ji Tang. Ji Tang reached out to catch it, unscrewed the cap, and fed the girl next to him to drink.

"Who is she?" Leaving the back warehouse and walking in the narrow steel plate corridor, the snake head asked.

Ji Tang replied: "It's not anyone." ”

"And you're going to save her?" The head of the snake was surprised.

"It's just to save people, if you want anything or not, only if you can." She pushed the bulky glasses on the bridge of her nose and said lightly-

The engine on this smuggling boat is even more aging than Ji Tang thought. She opened the backpack she was traveling with, took out all kinds of precision instruments from it one by one, and stunned several snake heads, along with the captain and maintenance engineer of the other party.

In addition to a small amount of nutrient solution in her backpack, she has drunk it all, and the rest is a military-special, extremely powerful nutritional capsule, and the physique of ordinary people, if you go down, it is estimated that you will vomit directly up and down, flatulence and vomit blood. But for her, it's the lightest option. A box of nutritional capsules lasts ten days, so she has enough space for the real "eating guys".

She repaired without saying a word, and the repairman's expression gradually changed from disdain to admiration, and finally his eyes lit up with reverence, and he couldn't wait to take a note immediately.

"Alright." By the way, she also repaired the radar and sonar that were aging to the verge of collapse. No wonder this stowaway boat drove into the meteorite belt yesterday, it turned out that half of the radar was useless at all.

After restarting the radar, a blue light appeared on the screen, and the navigation map instantly became clear. Several people cheered with joy.

Ji Tang put his hands behind his back and looked at the aerial chart, but his brows slowly frowned.

"What's wrong?" The bearded captain asked cautiously.

"Look here." She pointed to a small moving dot on the chart, "Something is approaching, and it's fast." ”

The captain said, "Maybe it's a meteorite?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the siren buzzed, sweeping out a palpitating red light. A young member, crouching at the window, shouted in horror: "It's a pirate!" Star Pirates are coming! ”
