I took two steps back, and immediately pulled the gun behind me and aimed it at the inside of the box.

When I saw it, I realized that the open box was empty.

"Empty?" Shen Hao asked me curiously.

"Seems to be." I replied. Then I slowly approached the gun and looked closer, and found that the box seemed to be covered with a soft sponge, with a small and slender dent on it, and it was obvious that something had been placed here.

I put the gun down, Shen Hao also walked over, and the two of us squatted in front of the box to watch.

It seemed that the contents had been removed, and I pressed it with my hand in the box, and it was soft and spongy. I took a closer look at the dent on it and saw that it was not large, just over a meter long, the thickness of an adult's arm.

I wondered how such a large box could only contain such a small item, could it be a jar filled with dangerous goods?

Shen Hao stroked back and forth on the sponge body with his hand a few times, and then he pinched a small thing and came out, held it up in front of my eyes and asked me, "What do you think this is?" ”

I took it carefully, looked left and right, and saw that it was just a very fine granular object.

I didn't recognize what it was, but since there was no danger in the box, I asked Shen Hao to call everyone over, and I needed someone else to help me identify what this particle was.

After a while, the others walked in, and An Beimo and Feng Jiutian squatted on both sides of me at the same time, carefully looking at the situation inside the box.

I held the little nug up with one finger and said to them, "Help me see what this is, this thing the beast found from the chest." ”

An Beimo took it first, put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully, and after observing it for a few minutes, he handed it over to Feng Jiutian.

Feng Jiutian's face was solemn, and he seemed to attach great importance to this small particle, and his movements when he took it were faintly ritualistic.

Holding it in the palm of her hand, she first took out a small glass bottle from her bag, bit it with her teeth and pulled out the stopper, then carefully shoveled the small particle into the bottle with the mouth of the bottle, and then closed the stopper. Then I took out some small instruments from my bag that I didn't recognize, as well as a magnifying glass. I used a flashlight to shine on my preparation last night and began to observe the small particles.

I saw that she was concentrating at the moment, her eyes were shining, and she almost entered the realm of selflessness, and I couldn't help but ask An Beimo in a low voice: "People who are engaged in scientific research see new things, are they all like this?" ”

An Beimo said "um" and said lightly: "Looking at how serious she is, you can know that it is no accident that she will become a world authority." ”

I briefly described to you what Shen Hao and I found, and in order to confirm the situation in the other boxes, we put down a few more boxes and opened them to check.

This time, however, we didn't find anything in the box, and the Seven Stars searched carefully before picking out some gray-white crumbs, but they were almost as small as powder.

The situation was the same in each chest, with a sponge underlay, with a printed groove on it, exactly the same size as the first box we opened, and it seemed that the contents of these boxes were the same.

Feng Jiutian was still studying it seriously, and Qixing handed over the crumbs to her, and then stayed by the side to help.

Shen Hao asked me if I would continue to move forward, I saw that Feng Jiutian was not finished yet, so I asked everyone to wait and talk.

Instructor Zhao and Gu Nan didn't know Feng Jiutian's identity, so Gu Nan came over and asked me, "What does you doctor do?" Looking at her like that, it seems that she is really a doctor engaged in scientific research, I thought that the doctor was just her code name! ”

I said, "No, she usually likes to ponder, and she is very curious when she sees new things." "I don't want to reveal Feng Jiutian's identity when I say this, after all, D.R.T has discipline and can't reveal the true identity of the team members.

Instructor Zhao asked me, "How long will it take for her to do this research?" We can't just stay here, can we? Seeing that several of us were glaring at him, Instructor Zhao explained: "It's not that I want to urge you, we don't have much food and water to carry, and if we don't find a way out quickly, we won't be able to hold out for two days!" ”

He was right, so I told them to wait for me, and I went over and asked.

As soon as I walked up to Feng Jiutian, I saw her start to pack her things and stuff the pile of tools she took out back into her bag one by one. As for the glass bottle containing small particles, she carefully wrapped a piece of cloth a few times and stuffed it into a corner of the bag.

"Did you find out what it was?" I asked Feng Jiutian.

Feng Jiutian's face was very strange, and he was silent for a while before saying: "I don't have a detailed analysis instrument, I can only make speculative judgments from appearances, so the results of the test are not absolutely accurate, I suggest that it is better not to announce it for the time being." ”

I was stunned by her words, and I couldn't understand why she suddenly got into an official relationship with me. So I said, "Don't be so serious, and no one blames you even if you can't see what it is, just tell me what the result of your speculative judgment is." ”

Feng Jiutian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, judging from the structure of its appearance, as well as the fault particles, it should contain nickel and silicate, and the more detailed components still need to be ......."

"Stop!" I interrupted Feng Jiutian's words and said, "You tell me something I can understand, just say what this is!" ”

For my unserious attitude, Feng Jiutian frowned slightly, and said angrily: "To put it bluntly, this is a stone!" With that, she slung her bag over her shoulder, got up and walked away.

She was so busy for so long that she actually found out that the particle was a stone. I can understand why she is not angry, I think she thought she had found some mysterious substance, but in the end she found out that it was just broken stones, and she would inevitably be disappointed. And I came over to ask at an inopportune time, of course she wouldn't give me a good face.

When I think about it, I can't help but feel funny. But then I thought about it, and I felt that it was wrong. Those chests are specially made and very protective, even if they are used to store antiques, how can they be used to hold useless stones? This is also unconscionable.

I wanted to ask Feng Jiutian again, but as soon as I thought of her attitude, I simply gave up.

Feng Jiutian walked to the front with a cold face, and I beckoned everyone to follow and continue to walk forward. Gu Nan came to my side and asked me in a low voice if Feng Jiutian had any results.

I asked her why she didn't ask Feng Jiutian directly, Gu Nan flattened her mouth and said, "This doctor's face just now was not very good-looking, I was afraid to ask her to touch a nail, so I didn't open my mouth." ”

I thought to myself that she was shrewd, so I whispered, "When I asked the doctor just now, she didn't give me a good face, saying that it was inconvenient to publish the test results. But looking at her appearance, it should be that the level is not enough, and she can't detect what it is. She likes to be reckless, but she is afraid of losing face, probably because she doesn't know it. ”

Gu Nan snickered and said, "That's it! This doctor is quite interesting. ”

After muttering a few words to Gu Nan, he suddenly found that Instructor Zhao in front of him always looked back at us from time to time, and his face was ugly. I immediately realized that it was a little inappropriate to whisper to Gu Nan like this, so I hurriedly separated from her and rushed to the front with Shen Hao to lead the way.

The passage was very long, and after walking for more than ten minutes, I saw that the boxes stacked on both sides had come to an end, and all that was left was the empty shelves on the wall.

I stopped and looked left and right, and roughly estimated in my mind that there must be thousands of boxes we have seen along the way, and there are still many shelves in the back, and there are still many boxes elsewhere that have not been put here.

An Beimo came to me and whispered to me, "Look at this situation, this is a warehouse where boxes are stored. If you guess right, the contents of the box should be somewhere ahead. ”

I thought the same way, and said to An Beimo: "The things in the box are kept so carefully, they should be very valuable, or very dangerous, and I don't know what the use of transporting them all here." ”

An Beimo said: "I suspect that the unidentified corpses I encountered just now are the people who transported the boxes here. If this is the case, it means that this thing is from the earth, and it is something that is not easy to obtain. Due to the huge quantity required, space shuttles are often needed to deliver here. ”

I nodded, "Quite possibly, but I haven't figured out why they died here." If it's here to make a delivery, it's supposed to be the same as the people who built the mysterious flying object. It's strange that your own people kill your own people. ”

An Beimo thought about it and said: "Maybe they did something they shouldn't have done, anyway, let's be more careful." I have a hunch that we are very close to the truth! ”

As I continued to walk forward, I thought to myself, until now, the missing Kong Anping and Instructor Li were still nowhere to be found, and I didn't know where they were now.

This ship is a mystery inside and out, and I still have nothing to say for sure, and the so-called clues are all speculation and conjecture.

Actually, this situation is very abnormal, and I think that everything should have a reason for its occurrence or existence, even if it is accidental, there should be a prerequisite for its occurrence. This space mystery ship is a real existence, but we walked around and couldn't figure out the reason for its existence, which is what worries me the most.
