Chapter 13: Plass Metal

"I can't imagine that someone would actually use a passenger starship to transport such a thing......" The bald dragon smiled as he watched Brother Wu squatting on the ground and cracking the code of a small box.

After the two boarded the "Yanyun" before, it happened that a conveyor belt in the freight warehouse broke down and was sent to the freight warehouse for repairs, which also happened to be in line with the purpose of the two of them trying to avoid contact with unnecessary people. After the bald dragon and Brother Wu went down, they found that it was just that the closing device of the conveyor belt was stuck by an unpacked package, and the metal objects that fell were stuck, and Brother Wu invaded the system, modified the cause of the failure, and made it a little more complicated, so that there was a reason to stay here for a long time.

According to the laws and regulations of China, in order to prevent the smuggling of contraband, passenger starships are not allowed to transport anything other than passenger goods, but passenger starships will still accept some inconspicuous consignment requests privately and make some extra money, because if you take a professional transport ship to transport goods, the price is generally very high, so that the cost of consignment of some low-cost items will increase exponentially, losing the original competitiveness, and quietly taking the passenger starship consignment only needs to pay some benefit feesSo, it is already an open secret that the passenger starship consigns some cargo.

But this time, an object consigned by the "Yanyun" aroused Brother Wu's interest.

There is no other reason, after casually looking at the cargo compartments, Brother Wu suddenly stopped in front of a cargo hold that was not much placed, and without waiting for the bald dragon to ask, Brother Wu walked straight to the cubic meter metal box that was placed on the side at random, stretched out his hand and touched it gently.

"What's wrong?" The bald dragon asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this box?" ”

Brother Wu stretched out his palm back, his eyes flashing with surprise: "Bald head, do you know Plath Metal?" ”

"What?" The bald dragon was confused, "I haven't heard of it, what's so special?" ”

Brother Wu looked at the box quietly placed there in front of him and explained: "Plass metal is a scientific research achievement of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of Ellen in recent years, it is a synthetic biological metal, or a metalloid-like organism, unlike ordinary organisms, this metal creature can be artificially manipulated, similar to mimic liquefied metal, but mimic liquefied metal is still ' Dead objects', and now more widely used, the disadvantages are also widely known, it can only simulate the first contact with other metals or alloys, once fused mimicry, can not be reused. ”

"I know that." The bald dragon rolled his eyes

"I'm just making comparisons." Brother Wu shrugged his shoulders and touched the black metal box next to him like stroking a cherished work of art, "Plas metal is different, as a biological metal that was accidentally discovered and synthetically modified by the scientists of the Ellen Empire, it can simulate any metal form infinitely according to instructions, and can even reproduce itself, but this property is said to have been deliberately erased by scientists in its DNA, and can only be artificially propagated in the laboratory or factory, but because of the immaturity of technology, Plas metal flows out very little in the outside world, I was fortunate enough to see a piece the size of a little thumb on the black market in the Peerless Domain, and I bought it at a high price for the test base to study for a while, and the miniature detector implanted in my hand happened to store its information, so when I passed by to scan it, I immediately noticed that it was different......"

Listening to Brother Wu's detailed explanation, the bald dragon suddenly understood the preciousness of Plath metal, the object contained in this metal box must be more precious than Plath metal, if it wasn't for this coincidence, he wouldn't have found it.

According to Brother Wu's explanation, the encryption method of this Plass metal is much more complicated, and it is the same as the mimic liquefied metal, once it is closed, unless the password is known, or cracked, it is impossible to open the box of this metal, and the forcible destruction will only trigger its built-in self-destruct program, and nothing will be obtained.

"It's tricky." Brother Wu stared at the black metal box with a frown, and his palm lightly pressed on it, "The password is compiled based on the genes of the metal creatures of Plas, and the genes of each metal creature on it are missing a piece of code, and they need to be activated to open the box." ”

"......" The bald dragon was speechless for a while, such a large box contains more than 100 billion of this metal creature, not to mention that the genetic codes of the creatures are all different, I don't know the information originally contained, it is a fool's dream to unlock this box.

"Let's go." The bald dragon said speechlessly, "Old Wu, I know you are very powerful, but this time we didn't bring professional cracking tools, I'm afraid it's not easy to get a password of this difficulty." ”

"I'll give it a try." Brother Wu shook his head and said, "Plas metal is really rare, especially this kind of densed one, it is even more rare, it is too difficult to have this kind of opportunity again, and I am really interested in the contents of this box, and I actually use such a precious metal box to protect it." ”

The bald dragon stood aside and watched for a long time, but he really couldn't see anything famous, so he coughed and said: "Lao Wu, there is no one down here, and I can't help you much, I'll go to other cabins again." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Brother Wu concentratingly, and walked straight out of the cabin.

When he came back with the food, he found Brother Wu frowning and sitting next to the black box thinking about something.

"How's it going?" The bald dragon put down the lunch box, "Let's have a meal first, there are three galleys of the starship all the way here, and the distance is not far, but it is convenient." ”

"This box also has an alarm." Brother Wu came back to his senses and responded, "It's a little tricky, when I tried to enter a simulation command, I found that it is very sensitive to intrusion data, once it is forcibly cracked, it will automatically trigger an alarm, and the owner of the box is also in this starship, we have to keep a low profile, so it is really difficult to do it now." ”

"No matter what he pretends to be, it definitely has nothing to do with us, just study and study, don't drill too much, we have other things" The bald dragon smiled.

"Mainly, this trip is quite long, and it's good to have some things to do." Brother Wu patted the black box and sighed, "It's really a mountain that is higher than a mountain, and the person who can set up such a complex encryption program must also be a master, I really want to learn from him." ”

Speaking of this, Brother Wu's heart suddenly moved, and an idea came out.

"Hey, bald, don't you think this will work......"

……

Yanyun, upper banquet hall.

The crystal chandelier decorated with retro elegance sprinkled a pale yellow glow, and the low and melodious sound of the piano surrounded everyone, Xiao Cheng was wearing a black decent dress, standing quietly at the edge of the hall, Nan Xin activated the mimicry mask, the long hair was pulled up high, a navy blue dress looked more solemn and mature, and the jade lotus-like arm held Xiao Cheng, the two were indeed a match made in heaven together.

In fact, Xiao Cheng and Nan Xin don't like this kind of lively social scene very much, one is four years of dedicated study and study, and the other has lived and grown up in the fire of a desperate war, and they are not very interested in this kind of activity, but Brother Wu gave them a small task, and the target person will participate in this banquet, so they have to come over.

Coincidentally, Xiao Cheng, the target person this time, also knows, named Duan Zhiqing, and he graduated from the Republic of China Aerospace University at the same time, but Duan Zhiqing is a student of the Department of Political Science, and his roommate Wang You is in the same class, so he has occasionally dealt with him a few times, he is extremely low-key, and he has few friends, but according to Wang You, Duan Zhiqing's background is very deep, but it can't be revealed, because there are few intersections, Xiao Cheng almost forgot that there is such a person, but he didn't expect that the task given to him by Brother Wu this time was to get close to Duan Zhiqing and talk to him as much as possible. At the same time, Nan Xin needs to use a signal distortion amplifier the size of a fingernail to control the "fine dust" robot left by Brother Wu to invade Duan Zhiqing's personal chip information database, and then Brother Wu can obtain some information through remote control. Although it was strange how that item could have something to do with Duan Zhiqing's personal information, he must have his reasons, he just had to complete the task with Nan Xin.

At this time, Duan Zhiqing was sitting at the table in the corner of the opposite side of Xiao Cheng and them drinking a glass of sake called "Deep Blue Dream" alone, and there was a respectful old butler standing next to him, Duan Zhiqing seemed to like this environment very much, smiling and watching everyone dance and sing, but he was unwilling to blend in, because in the twenty minutes that Xiao Cheng observed him, his old butler had already declined the invitation of the three beauties for him.

This also made Xiao Cheng not know how to come forward to greet him, and when he was hesitating, he saw the old housekeeper leaning over and saying something to Duan Zhiqing.

"Aqing, our things have sent a strange signal, I'm going to take someone down to have a look." The voice of the old butler clearly appeared in Xiao Cheng's ears, this is the effect of the dust robot left by Brother Wu, this kind of robot is difficult for ordinary people to detect with the naked eye, when Duan Zhiqing was sitting there, Xiao Cheng sent the robot over and attached it to the edge of the table to eavesdrop - if the robot is attached to the body, it will definitely be detected by a special high-end chip sensor implanted in the body, just in case, Xiao Cheng did not dare to let the robot attach to Duan Zhiqing's clothes.

"The monitoring of the storage compartment below is within our monitoring range, except for the two maintenance workers who went in when they boarded the ship a few days ago, no one went in at all, not to mention that the two maintenance workers we saw from the monitoring that they had left, and no one went in again, right?" Duan Zhiqing replied with some dissatisfaction, "What's more, that thing will give a warning as long as someone moves or other actions against it, so there's no need to worry about it, right?" ”

"Ah Qing, you know how important this thing is, the family has made great efforts to bring it out secretly, although it is impossible to leak the news, but the master told you to be careful and take care of it carefully, but unfortunately it exceeds the volume limit that can be taken into the cabin, otherwise why worry so much."
