Chapter 296: Interrogation (Second Watch, Asking for Votes)

Michael clearly knew that since Cheng Shi had the ability to remotely control their spaceship, he naturally also had the ability to access their ship's central database without his permission, so he was not surprised by this.

"As for the origin of the raw materials, the elders don't let us record them in the ship's database. We are a race that is good at recording information on paper. For some important information that does not need to be stored for a long time, we still retain the habit of recording it on paper. Michael explained.

"Hand it all over." Cheng Shi said casually.

When Michael heard this, he took out a flat box from the secret compartment of a drawer next to the driver's seat of the spaceship, opened it and handed it to Cheng Shi.

"What I want is not only the records of the origin of the raw materials that you came out to collect this time, but I also want all the previous ones." Cheng Shi said calmly.

Michael glanced up at Cheng Shi slightly, and then said, "Lord Enforcer, when you checked the database of our spaceship center, you should have seen that there was only a record of our work this time. Every time we go back, the data on the ship has to be emptied. ”

"Then rewrite everything that was recorded before, and write everything that can be recalled." Cheng Shi said in a somewhat uplifted tone, "Also, after your spaceship starts, what's going on with the star map suspended in the wheelhouse?" ”

"If we want to go on an interstellar voyage, we naturally need a star map." Michael explained quite naturally.

"You'd better be honest, I suppose, you should know what I'm asking?" Cheng Shi said with a smile.

Michael is most afraid of Cheng Shi smiling and talking to him now, as long as Cheng Shi smiles, he will become extremely nervous.

"I said, I said all, I know you're asking about the marked planets, and they're all the origins of the magical raw materials we've gathered that the elders asked us to explore." Michael said tremblingly.

Cheng Shi sighed slightly: "Your spaceship is equipped with a curvature engine, even if it is placed in the main universe, it is also a technology that can only be possessed by middle and high-level civilizations. Flying a spaceship with this technology can't just go to a low-level civilization ecological planet. This is a basic rule, all middle and high-level civilizations know it, you have been to the main universe so many times, don't you know this? ”

Michael nodded hurriedly: "We know that those planets are not low-level civilization ecological planets, and even there are no intelligent beings on them, otherwise we would have been wiped out by law enforcers like you a long time ago." ”

"How did the merchants you trade with know that you need those magic materials? Did you give them the list first, and then they went to collect it? Cheng Shi asked again.

Michael shook his ears when he heard this, and then said, "It should be that the elders have made deployments before, and the people who have traded weapons with us know what magic materials we need, and we don't need to give them a list for this." ”

Cheng Shi pondered that this should indeed be the case, otherwise it would be difficult for them to make a deal in this kind of business of exchanging a specified range of magic raw materials for weapons.

"Could it be that Karel has somehow broadcast a list of magical materials in the main universe?" Cheng Shi thought secretly.

"The same weapon, I see that what you exchange for weapons here is the original generation of magic materials, and what you exchange in Crystal City is the extract of the original generation of magic materials, that is, the magic materials after deep processing. Aren't you at a loss? And it's a bit unreasonable for you to travel all the way to the main universe and only exchange some first-generation magic materials, right? ”

Michael was stunned for a moment: "Your thinking is very thoughtful, I once asked the elder about this question, but he didn't answer me, just asked me to concentrate on doing what I was asked to do." I think it's because the original generation of magic materials can find the place of origin, and the extracted magic materials are not easy to judge, let alone verify the place of origin. ”

"So Karel's other purpose for asking for these first-generation magic materials is to find and verify their origin?" Cheng Shi asked along Michael's train of thought.

Michael nodded: "I think so." ”

"Tell me about the planets of the main universe that you've visited, and don't tell me there's nothing on it." Cheng Shi said very disdainfully.

Michael immediately made an expression of "don't dare to deceive the law enforcer": "Yes, we have been to many planets in the main universe, and the star map marks the planets with primitive ecology. But not all of them were found by me, most of them were shared by other people like me, and of course if I found planets with ecosystems, they would also be shared in the star chart. ”

"Your spaceship doesn't have the ability to sail across river systems, and I naturally know that not all of those planets were discovered by you, so you don't need to explain this. I'm asking you what you found on the planets that you marked with ecology? Cheng Shi asked impatiently.

"I understand, I haven't finished talking just now, I'm afraid that you will make me tell me about all the marked planets on the star map, so I'll explain it to you in advance." Michael said tremblingly, "Actually, it's not entirely accurate to say that the planets I marked have primitive ecology, because there are a lot of large plants on them, but those plants grow out of order. Some plants that are supposed to be big grow very small. And some plants, which should be small, grow very large. I don't know if it was affected by unknown radiation, and it was mutated. But the animals on the planet are very primitive, and if you judge by the standards of animals, those planets can also be called primitive ecological planets. ”

Cheng Shi was confused when he heard this, thinking that this was indeed a little strange, it is said that in the main universe, it is still very difficult to find a planet with primitive ecology but no advanced intelligent beings. Listening to Michael's description, the planets they found were far from being primitive ecological planets. Moreover, they have found so many.

But how could there be no higher intelligent beings on these planets? Even if there are no advanced intelligent beings born in the mainland, then how can they not discover so many advanced civilizations in the universe, even the ecological planets that Michael can discover? If they find out, why not take those planets? You must know that colonizing a primitive ecological planet where there are no advanced intelligent beings is legal within the main universe.

Cheng Shi thought a lot in an instant, but as the enforcer of the main universe, he couldn't figure out these questions, and Michael didn't know about them. But since Karel asked them to do these things, he certainly wouldn't let them do useless work.

After more than two hours of face-to-face communication with Cheng Shi, Michael found that he was neither verbally insulted by Cheng Shi nor tortured, but only had a peaceful exchange, so he secretly congratulated himself that he had met a reasonable law enforcer, thinking that as long as he honestly explained the problem, maybe the law enforcer was in a good mood and could let him go.

"I've told you everything, Lord Enforcer, and I promise I'm telling the truth. We're just doing what we're told, can you let us go? Michael saw Cheng Shi, who had not spoken, and only dared to ask timidly after a long time.

Cheng Shi glanced at Michael, thinking that Karel's selection criteria were not very good, and he hadn't punished Michael yet, just relying on the prestige of a main universe enforcer, he would recruit everything. However, it is unknown whether what he said is the truth, so it is obviously impossible to let him go so early.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will naturally not embarrass you, and your crime of selling weapons across the universe without permission can be big or small. I can pretend I didn't see anything and let you go. I can kill you now......"

Hearing Cheng Shi say that he wanted to kill him, Michael suddenly panicked: "Lord Law Enforcer, I am old and young, I cooperate with you in everything, you can't ......"

"You shut up first," Cheng Shi hurriedly waved his hand at Michael impatiently, "I haven't finished my words yet." You've told me so much today, and I can't verify the truth of what you said right now, so it's impossible to let you go. So, pick two primitive planets that you marked on the star map, and you two will take us there in a spaceship. If I see the same situation as you say, then I can let you go, how about it? ”

Michael was stunned when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi snorted disdainfully: "Don't worry, I mean what I say." There are a lot of law enforcers in the main universe, and killing people is not in vogue in us right now. Besides, you have no other choice, if you don't listen to me, you will die now. ”

When Michael heard this, he immediately drooped his head.

In order to avoid the trouble of other cosmic smugglers coming to Michael because they can't get their hands on the goods, Sarina continues to receive guests who come to pick up the goods under the watchful eye of Barbara and Yangyang.

Another four hours had passed, and by this time it was night on the surface of Tana-Jurki. Sarina said that no one would come to pick up the goods today, so Cheng Shi asked them to shut down the spaceship completely.

"In this way, your spaceship is too slow, and it can't get out of here, so let's put it here first, and I'll find a few people to show you. Please rest assured that we will not touch your things, so that you will not be able to return to Karel in a bad way. You two will be safer in our spaceship. My spaceship was very fast, a few hours away from tens of thousands of light-years. If what we see everywhere is what you say, then we will send you back soon. When the time comes, you will act as if nothing had happened, and go back to Karel as normal. Cheng Shi looked at Michael and Sarina and said.

Michael thought that Cheng Shi might be worried that they would let them drive their own spaceship, and they would escape halfway, so he arranged it this way. Anyway, it is impossible for them to bargain with the law enforcers now, so it is better to gamble and believe Cheng Shi's words, at least he still looks worthy of being believed.

"It's all up to you." Michael nodded repeatedly.
