132 The rabble 2
The miners chatted vigorously, but forgot the old adage that the wall has ears. Since Hong Tao can control the main brain of other spaceships through his uncle, he can naturally receive signals from all the sensors inside and outside the spaceship. He is not a gentleman, and he has to find a way to overhear when he can't eavesdrop, how can he turn a blind eye to this information.
"What kind of life is this, even the meal cube has become a bet......" Listening to it, I couldn't help but feel emotion again, it's the era of interstellar colonization, but the class thing is still the same as in the 13th century. It is still that group of people who should be rich and rival the country, and there are by no means a few who should not be hungry.
Take these nine miners, who barely enjoyed their lives and were busy all day, but in the end a nutritious meal worth only a hundred and ten credits was a good thing. It's like in the memory of the Earth era, I also used cigarettes as hard currency, not a whole or a whole box, but one.
"Some clone pilots will modify their own ships, and when I was serving in the Federal Navy, I participated in the operation of the Unification Department to encircle and suppress defector pilots, and at that time, a clone pilot colonel piloted his own modified battleship disguised as a cargo ship as bait. If you can disguise a battleship as a cargo ship, why can't you turn it into a mining barge?" After receiving a full amount of meals, Old John's mood improved significantly, and he really said something different, with a nose and eyes.
"Ahh Old John, Captain Li is here to encircle and suppress pirates, and when they fight, we won't be cannon fodder! Even if the soldiers win this time, they can't always guard here, as long as we leave, we will become substitutes! ”
People with different life experiences may have completely different feelings when they listen to the same story. Hong Tao felt that Old John had spoken very well, and he also wanted to hear how the admiral put on makeup and went deep behind enemy lines. But He Xizhou and a few people immediately exploded, if it weren't for the fact that the spaceship was in a state of jumping, they were afraid that they would have fled in the wilderness.
"You porridge-drinking waste, when did I say that Captain Li is a navy, is this three-legged cat in our galaxy worth the great efforts of the subordinates to encircle and suppress it, I mean that some clone pilots have great skills, like you and I dare not think about and can't do, in the eyes of others, it is nothing at all!"
Before Hong Tao could defend himself, Old John began to scold, those who have seen the world and those who have not seen the world think about the problem differently, and as soon as they say a few words, the miners will immediately be stable.
"Mr. John, is this Captain Li very powerful, can you bring us back to collect more fullerenes" This time it was no longer He Xizhou who asked the question, but the four young miners who came out to break through.
It is said that they are all from the Republic of Uruk, and they don't want to be workers and farmers on the surface of the planet for the rest of their lives like their parents, so they scraped together money to buy two second-hand mining spaceships, intending to have a space dream from scratch.
They are different from these old miners who have been destroyed by life for most of their lives, they don't have so much insight into life, and they haven't been burned out of passion by reality, their stomachs are full of ideals and dreams, and they can't wait to earn enough money to change to a new spaceship right away. When the spaceship is bigger, it will naturally make more money, and then change to a bigger and better spaceship, and then you can return home.
"I can't say that, some clone pilots don't come out to mine, transport, and explore for money, their families are very rich, and these jobs are just a fun game."
Old John naturally understood the thoughts of these young people, and he was afraid that he was like them when he was young. So the conversation changed and began to decline again, anyway, he was only responsible for talking about addiction, and he didn't want to bear the responsibility at all.
"Hey, how did the spaceship change its transition state, and it will arrive at the mine so soon" The young man's enthusiasm was quite high, and he would not be discouraged by a few words, and at this time, the formation flight mode changed, and he withdrew from faster-than-light flight near a planet.
Everyone didn't care about small talk, and turned on the external sensors to observe. There is also the one who activates the mineral scanner, which only has a detection range of about 50 kilometers, and it can't scan anything unless it's particularly close to the mine.
"Let's wait here for a while, and then I'll come back when I find the mine, and then the control of the formation will be transferred to Captain Nuel first. It's still the old rule, don't ask, don't move, be patient, I'll go back when I go. ”
Fly directly to the mine with the formation to see how you rely on mining drones to find high-concentration clouds, don't be funny, if it wasn't for Old John inadvertently relieving himself, he wouldn't have been able to make up a circle with a mining barge as a flagship.
After eating a trench and growing wise, Hong Tao decided that he could no longer be careless, and found the mine by himself, and then took them to jump together. Isn't it too stingy to take care of this, safety first?
"Old John, why did he leave by himself, what is the matter with leaving us in this place where there is no store in front of the village and no store in front of me, I want to say that we should not follow the unknown mining team out, see it, the light map has little money, and you get what you pay for, it's too unprofessional!" When the mine head gave the order, none of the nine miners dared to give an opinion, but as soon as Hong Tao left, He Xizhou's strange words came.
"Shut up, what have you seen, collecting in gaseous clouds is not like an asteroid belt, you can mine if you find the anchor position of the mine. Fullerenes are fluid, and if you don't find a high concentration of clouds, you won't even be able to pick up the volume of a meal cube for an hour. Captain Li was afraid that he had a trick to find high-concentration clouds, and he didn't want outsiders to learn it. Wait, don't always rush it, if Anhaka hadn't remembered us, you'd still want to join the mining team and double the money to see if anyone wants it! ”
At the critical moment, Old John spoke again, don't look at him very well, but he is very clear about the doorway in the mining industry, and he can always get to the point. It's no wonder that living a long time equals having more experience, and as long as you don't stay stupid, you can always gain something.
"Yes, wait a minute, Mr. Ho, I heard that you won two games in a row in the fighting ring yesterday, can you let us see the fighter you bet on. If the harvest is good this time, we want to try our luck as well. ”
The four young people are more able to calm down, and if they come, they will be safe, and they will have to wait anyway, so it is better to find some interesting topics, such as robot fighting. They don't have the money to go to the big cities to participate in this kind of gambling on the surface of the planet, and even if they have the opportunity to go, they don't have the money to bet. Now that I'm finally out of the mix, I'm not going to open my eyes quickly.
"Hey, you're asking the right person, I've been betting on the arena since the day it opened, and I don't dare to say that I've made the right bets every time, and I've won a lot over the years. Let me tell you, those gladiators are useless just looking at their appearance, but the Tao here is deep. If you want to win a bet, you have to rely on inside information......"
He Xizhou is much younger than Old John, and there is an inevitable reason why he is so miserable, not that he has too many bumpy experiences, nor is it bad luck, but good betting.
There is no need to bet, as long as he says this word, his eyes will light up, and he will no longer worry about the prospects of the mining team.
"Alas, I don't study well, I think when I was young, I was a mind to learn the ability to join the army, and now the children are ......" Old John is obviously not interested in gambling, he has lived so old, if he can't figure out this truth, he will really live in vain.
can see that the four young people are all as eager to record every word He Xizhou said, but the old man still couldn't help but remind him.
Others don't know the details of He Xizhou, but he grew up watching this guy. He also instructed others to place bets, and if he had a 1 in 10 chance of winning, he would not be mixed up like this.
The inside information is even more nonsense, behind the fighting arena are the mercenaries of the Angel Consortium, if there is really such news, it will become a well-known rumor when it reaches He Xizhou's ears, and bragging is not such a blow, it hurts people!
It's a pity that no one really pays attention to his advice, the ancients said well, good medicine is good for disease, and good advice is good for deeds. Most people are like this, knowing that others are right, but when the matter comes, they can still only see the immediate benefits, otherwise how can luck become one of the human nature.
