Chapter 157: The Secret of the Circle
In fact, Cheng Shi didn't want to reveal his identity as a novice watchman, but he thought that since he talked to Giselle last time, he estimated that the other party would probably be able to guess anything.
Although Cheng Shi will still try to hide his identity when chatting with Giselle, if he encounters an important problem, even if there is no good way to hide his identity, he will still ask, even if it is directly.
Giselle looked at Cheng Shi and smiled slightly: "There is not only one inhabited planet here, there are several letter towers on each ecological planet, and there are also some savage planets, but this is the situation thousands of years ago, and it is not clear now." I came here this time, I originally wanted to revisit the old place, but I didn't expect that the changes here are quite big, this cave was not like this before, but now there are strange mountains and rocks everywhere, and the scenery is much better than before. ”
Cheng Shi pondered that chatting with these old immortal creatures was really a bit ruinous, they had lived for thousands of years and were still girls, the key was that such a long time came out of her mouth like yesterday.
"Oh, I didn't expect there to be a cave here thousands of years ago." Cheng Shi said and grinned.
The two had just chatted for a while, and plates of hot dishes began to be served one by one.
"Come on, eat together, I'll treat you," Cheng Shi took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to Giselle, "You came here this time in time, we are worried that we have no place to eat." ”
This time, Giselle was not polite, she smiled and took the chopsticks handed by Cheng Shi, and began to eat.
In fact, on the way to Cheng Shi's spaceship restaurant, he had already arranged for him to stay near Crystal Jianshan in the spiritual connection with the Information Bridge, and continue to complete the work he had just completed, while monitoring Giselle's restaurant spaceship.
"Master, Giselle's ship is not very honest, and this ship has detected that a large number of probes are being released from the bottom of this ship for material exploration." After the information bridge found the abnormal situation, it reported to Cheng Shi in time.
"What do you mean? Do they still care about the primordial minerals on this planet? Cheng Shi communicated with the information bridge in the spiritual connection while eating.
"The business scope of the Grenor Group covers most of the middle and high-level civilizations in the main universe, and the primordial minerals on most of the planets have no practical value for the high-level civilizations in the main universe, but they may have collectible value, but some minerals on some planets are still valuable energy for many middle-level civilizations, and the Grenor group of profiteers belong to the kind that does business when they have a business, and they will not let go of any business that can make money." InfoBridge explained.
"Is there anything that can be done to stop her from mining?" Cheng Shi asked again.
"This ship has just analyzed the materials in this cave, and no valuable minerals have been found, but the stalactites here have a strange appearance and may have collectible value, so this ship is not easy to judge."
"Oh, it's going to be discovered by the locals sooner or later, so do we have to find a way to get it away?"
"This ship suggests that the owner wait and see, Giselle is a businessman, if there is no commercial interest, she will not take the initiative to provoke the local natives, this spaceship has a stealth function, and it is impossible to have any direct business with the Grenor Group at the stage of civilization development here, so this ship feels that after you finish eating, this spaceship will either leave or become invisible, it is now afternoon outside, and it is not a hunting day, and under normal circumstances, no locals will break into the cave."
Cheng Shi sounded as if something was wrong: "I came here with her, just to do a restaurant business?" ”
"It's not that this possibility is impossible, this ship just said that Grenor will not give up any single life that can make money
Meaning, if there is only one table of you in the restaurant to eat, it is estimated that the meal will not be too cheap, please be mentally prepared by the host. In addition, in their opinion, the space gate magic circle will be opened sooner or later, and their intelligence is the most timely, of course, they will come over early to seize more business opportunities. ”
Cheng Shi was speechless, the Grenor Group sounded like a very big company, but he didn't expect to even let go of the business of small merchants and hawkers.
When the group was about to finish eating, Cheng Shi asked Xinqiao to come over to settle the bill, and he also wanted to know how much the meal would cost.
After the information bridge was teleported into Cheng Shi's pocket, Cheng Shi got up and went over to pay.
"Xiaoqiao, how much did you eat in total?" Cheng Shi came back and asked.
"It's okay, there is one more head for this meal, and after the discount, it is almost three times as much as last time, which is converted into about 20,000 yuan." The information bridge replied.
Cheng Shi thought that it was not easy for an old acquaintance to travel all the way, and it was normal for it to be more expensive, so he was not surprised: "Can it be reimbursed normally?" ”
"Can you not add up to the cost of the meal? Imperial employees can report business trips as long as they are reasonably spending. ”
After Cheng Shi returned to the private room with the information bridge, he saw that the tables full of plates were empty, and everyone had already gotten up and was about to leave, but Giselle did not know where to go.
When the six of them walked to the door of the spaceship in the restaurant, they happened to meet Giselle coming back from outside in a hurry, and they didn't know what she was doing outside, Cheng Shi exchanged a few words with her, and then took the group back to the foot of Crystal Jianshan.
"Xiaoqiao, how is your progress in breaking the firewall of the information network?" Cheng Shi looked at the spaceship restaurant in the distance and asked in the spiritual connection, he was now very concerned about what this alien spaceship was going to do next.
"This ship is carrying out damage minimization cracking, and the program is still being implemented, if it is to be brute-forced, it will be completed long ago." The information bridge vibrated in reply.
Rumble!
Just as Cheng Shi was a little distracted when he looked at the spaceship in the restaurant, a streamer of light quietly crossed the crystal mountain, followed by a low roar.
Giselle's ship vanished out of thin air in an instant, along with the stalactites around the ship, leaving only a flat ground in its place, like a circular runway.
Cheng Shi reacted suddenly and was shocked: "Xiaoqiao, where did the restaurant spaceship go?" ”
"It left, and it took some stone specialties with it." Info Bridge said volley.
"Monkey, I think that woman seems to have come to deliver food to the landlord." Yang Yang muttered something in Barbara's ear, but his eyes were fixed on Cheng Shi not far away.
Barbara was stunned: "What does this have to do with me?" ”
"Don't you think the relationship between the landlord and the woman is a little abnormal? They are all very close to each other when they eat. Yang Yang further prompted.
Barbara glared at Big Bird: "Get out of here!" ”
Yang Yang snorted and took North for a walk again.
Cheng Shi looked at the circular runway in the distance and was stunned for a long time: "Xiaoqiao, is it really okay for the locals to see it?" ”
"Many earthlings have seen crop circles, is there something wrong?" Infobridge asked rhetorically.
Cheng Shi had an epiphany, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiaoqiao, come on to crack the firewall of the information network, we must find out how it works before the space gate array is fully restored, and try not to let the space gate array recover." ”
The bridge vibrated to indicate that it was working hard.
"Cheng Shi, the birdman said that Giselle came to bring you food, is it true?"
Barbara finally came over and asked Cheng Shi directly.
Cheng Shi was shocked: "What are you talking nonsense?" Do you believe Yangyang's words? She charged me three times the price for this meal, and took so many stones from the cave, don't you see them all? ”
Barbara sighed, bowed her head, and didn't speak again.
"Barbara, I remember when Wang strengthened your soul before, didn't he help you recover some memories? Haven't you been able to think of any useful information here? Cheng Shi felt that the issue he had just discussed was a little embarrassing, so he took the initiative to change the topic.
Barbara looked up and frowned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, every time I touch the Crystal Eagle, I can always see a phantom vaguely, but it will disappear soon." ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Cheng Shi looked at Barbara with some surprise.
Barbara shrugged: "I've touched the Crystal Eagles twice, and the phantom I saw was so blurry that it felt like an illusion, and it was only for a moment, so I assumed it didn't happen." ”
Cheng Shi sighed lightly, and suddenly he thought of Vena again: "About your life experience, do you really have no impression at all?" Like your family members? Parents? Twin sisters? Girl or something? ”
The family members in front were easy to understand, but when Sister Monkey heard her daughter, she suddenly became anxious: "Can you speak?" I should have parents, and I may have twin sisters, but I don't remember, where did the girl come from? ”
Cheng Shi smiled evilly: "Anyway, you have forgotten, who can say for sure." ”
"You ......" Barbara stomped her foot angrily and walked away with a snort.
Although Cheng Shi was speculating like a joke, after thinking about it, he always felt that the amount of information on the monkey girl was too large, and maybe after finding Vena, many questions could be answered.
"Master, this ship has broken the firewall of the main information network, but there is a new situation." After working for a long time, the information bridge finally began to report the progress of the work to Cheng Shi.
Although the information bridge was on a mental call with Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi still subconsciously raised his ears: "You go on, what's the situation?" ”
"First of all, the ship's previous speculation was correct, the crystal Jianshan is indeed the magic node of the space gate array, which can teleport objects and people by distorting space; Secondly, the ship has also successfully joined the space gate array, and discovered another crystal mountain on this planet, through the conversion of location coordinates, the ship speculated that it should be under the hill when we came, was buried in the soil, but the role of the method node is space transit, Giselle came to us here after the transfer of that method node, this process is automatic, she may not know it herself. "The information bridge first explains the operation rules of the space gate array.
If the information bridge didn't say it, Cheng Shi even acquiesced that when they came, they were randomly teleported to a location, but they didn't expect it to be near Crystal Jianshan.
Cheng Shi nodded: "Understood, didn't you say that there is still a new situation?" ”
"Yes, this ship previously thought that the space gate magic array in this universe should be a teleportation network interconnected by many law gate nodes, but this is not the case, after this ship joined the space gate magic circle, it was found that the law gate nodes on this planet are not directly connected to other planets, so this ship has only found two law gate nodes on this planet, and the problem may appear on the side of the information network, which is all the situations found so far." The information bridge analyzed truthfully.
"Is it a star network topology?" Cheng Shi, a computer science major, rarely said a technical word related to his undergraduate major.
