However, Angelina felt that she was not wise for long, and began to have headaches...

At this moment, except for a few necessary personnel for the temporary control of the spacecraft, the Pearl remained on the bridge, and the other crew members, including Angelina, wore space chemical protection suits and came to the salvage debris area.

A field was cleared in the middle of the wreckage of a large and tattered landing ship, and the stone that they had spent a lot of effort to recover stood...

Literally, they really put a lot of effort into salvaging this thing.

I don't know why, this stone has been in a strange state of entropy increase, and at the same time constantly extracting the surrounding heat, so that it is always in absolute zero, any structure that is not strong enough or the structure itself is unstable is close to it, it is easy to become extremely fragile under the ultra-low temperature and the chaos of physical rules...

The pair of salvage equipment they spent a 'huge amount of money' on the spacecraft had now become a piece of scrap metal that was not much stronger than a cardboard shell.

If it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a pair of salvage nets on the ship that were purchased by the Fiali consortium last time specifically for salvaging some kind of void creature nicknamed Blue Lobster, and they really got this stone, they would probably have lost their blood to use it as underwear at this moment...

Even so, the faces of the people around them were almost green, which was enough to see how much they regretted it... It's like a bunch of groundhogs who have completely lost their dreams...

Especially Angelina, who was the captain of the ship, stared at the stone that had made her lose all her money almost through gritted teeth, and said to an uncle with a somewhat dwarf figure:

"Uncle Tony, please polish this stone with a welding torch! I'm going to see what the hell it is, scrapping my salvage equipment! If the contents can't be recovered, I must crush it to ashes! ”

"Okay..."The dwarf dwarf named Tony suddenly became a bitter gourd face when he heard this, just now he scrapped the salvage equipment directly and the operator was him, God knows if the captain's words are not in his words, if the things in the stone can't satisfy her, will he choose to crush his bones and scatter ashes...

Everyone stared intently at Uncle Tony's 'polishing' work, but the progress of the work was still very slow, not that Tony didn't work hard, but that this stone was too evil, and they all used the industrial welding tongs that usually repair power armor, and under the continuous spraying of up to eight or nine thousand degrees, this stone did not appear at all.

Even, everyone gradually had an indescribable illusion, the welding tongs under the continuous spray did not seem to have much temperature, like... It's like the stone that absorbs all the heat of the welding tongs in a very short time.

The crew of this discovery had a sense of fear, after all, the usual boring space travel was enough for them to be enlightened by the endless stories of space adventures, for fear that they would encounter some dangerous and grotesque events.

After all, there are spaceships that mistook the Void Worm eggs for relics and salvaged them, and as a result, the ship was destroyed and people died.

As time went by, the more and more depressing atmosphere made many timid crew members a little unbearable, such as the eyed man in charge of logistics management raised his hand faintly, and said weakly: "Captain, we still have some things at hand that we haven't dealt with, and we are waiting here, I'll go back and deal with it first?" ”

Angelina was actually a little scared, after all, she was more cowardly by nature, but in front of the entire crew, she naturally had to work hard to maintain her majesty as the captain, hearing this, she was immediately angry, and looked at the second cargo with disdain, "The few little girls in charge of civilian work on the bridge didn't say this, so you are going to withdraw in advance?" Are you still not a man? ”

"I... Of course I'm a man! The man with glasses was choked and couldn't speak, so he could only retreat, "Then can I change into power armor first, I always feel that this thing in front of me is a bit evil, and I still have to prioritize safety work." ”

Angelina frowned slightly when she heard this, and thought that it was also reasonable, and waved her hand: "Okay, except for a few people from the Security Department, the others will go and arm themselves first and bring our four power armors over." ”

"Yes! Captain! Everyone felt that the captain's decision was extremely wise, and they were moved to tears.

However, not long after most people left, the polishing job that had been the same changed a little.

Although most of the heat of the welding tongs is absorbed by the stone itself, after the welding tongs are increased to the maximum power, they can finally leave a little heat for a short time, melting away the space dust on the outer layer of the stone, revealing the things inside.

"It's... Is this actually a piece of ice? "Uncle Yours is also a person who has lived more than a hundred thoughts, but such a phenomenon beyond his understanding is still rare.

Immediately, Angelina found that the adjutant girl next to her, Connie, suddenly turned pale, and trembled and pointed to the big ice cube and said, "Ship... Captain... Village... There seems to be something inside... Someone... Correct... is looking at us..."

"Huh?" Angelina didn't react at first, but followed Connie's gaze to a pair of silver eyes that had been revealed by the melting of outer space dust, and those eyes seemed to reflect a ghostly light due to the reflection of the light flame of the welding tongs...

"Ah!!!h Angelina, who realized it later, suddenly jumped up like a frightened hamster, jumped to her feet, and hid behind a wreck with her adjutant in her arms, completely coaxed into a ball... Trembling... Trembling...

The panicked screams of several women also attracted the crew members who had just returned from putting on their equipment, and they saw Angelina, who was crying in fright and had no captain's demeanor...

"......" Everyone was also speechless for a while after listening to Adjutant Connie's explanation, although it was indeed a bit hairy that there were two corpses hidden in the salvaged ice, but they were not afraid of this, and couldn't help but mourn in silence for their promising crew career.

"Don't worry, Captain, it should just be the crew that was killed, so I don't know if it's the Federation or the Sakura Association..."

However, he still had the courage to knock on the ice with a high-frequency knife and said: "You see, after all, it's just a dead thing, the only regret is that our salvage operation this time is considered to be lost." ”

Originally, he just wanted to adjust the atmosphere, and he was ready to let the captain scold him, so as to recast her majesty.

But just as Angelina was about to speak, a heavy heartbeat like a drum resounded throughout the utility room... The movements of the crowd also froze... It's like a group of statues with wonderful expressions...

The next moment, the utility room was instantly filled with the screams of fright from women and the sound of scrambling hands.

Angelina, who was still in the ball, was the first to force herself to calm down, "Tony! Immediately stop all measures against it, seal off this utility room, everyone return to their posts, and impose twenty-four hours of all-round martial law on the utility room! ”

Half a month has passed since that sudden fright, and in this half a month, all the crew members of the entire Pearl can be said to have been terrified.

No one expected that there was a big living person hidden in the stone that was originally thought to be a black technology component on the salvag! And hugged another robot in a maid costume.

If there was no follow-up shocking and inexplicable heartbeat, maybe Angelina and the little girls on the bridge would have made up some touching love story.

But after that strange incident, everyone is thinking about whether they will be able to break the ice by someone who is likely to be a terrorist of the Sakura Society, and then turn them all into cannon fodder slaves...

Even if the absurd fantasy didn't come true, the strange heat-absorbing effect and entropy-increasing reaction of the ice cubes made them suffer enough.

These days, even if the bridge is fully air-conditioned, the temperature is like the planet has fallen into the Great Ice Age, getting lower and lower day by day, and everyone is wearing Eskimo eyelashes are still freezing crystals...

When seeing the spaceport of Garda, everyone has never been so moved for a moment, moved by the miracle of life!

As the Pearl docked, Angelina and her crew immediately handed over the frozen food to the Carmen director they had worked with for many years.

Director Carmen was surprisingly talkative, and did not refuse to accept the food because it was frozen, and anyway, these high-energy foods were not eaten by themselves, but curiously asked about the reason for what happened to them.

Angelina waited for him, and began to bewitch Director Carmen into buying the large block of ice containing the two corpses that they had salvaged, and swore that one of them was still alive, which was naturally regarded as a joke by Director Carmen and his men.

But when Director Carmen heard about their salvage location, his eyes twinkled, and he quietly talked about a deal that was destined to be regretted by everyone present for the rest of his life.

In the end, Garda, who was represented by Carmen, exchanged a brand-new Pioneer salvage component for the 'ice cube', and everyone was happy.

Angelina and her gang ran away in a frenzy on her Pearl after completing the transaction, as if they were afraid that the other party would regret it.

Director Carmen, on the other hand, glanced disdainfully at the back of the Pearl, and looked thoughtfully at the two 'remains' in the ice.

"This should be the crew of the Sakura Society, right? However, the power armor has been completely melted down, and its model is not visible at all, but it is only a Carmen director, after all, it is only two corpses, so we will not pay so much to buy it, right? The adjutant next to him asked.

"What do you know, in the battle of Linchuan Star Domain, except for the two parties involved in the Federation and the Sakura Association, all the forces now want to know what happened that day, and what secrets are related to the Federation, but they have almost never gotten any useful information, although this power armor and robot are damaged, there must still be information left, as long as you get it, it can be sold for a big price."

"But what do we do about it? It seems a little weird, the heat draw effect is better said, the entropy increase reaction... It's a bit of a problem, and brute-force cracking may cause the corpses inside to collapse together. The adjutant said.

"It doesn't matter, what we have is time, this reaction should not last, the heat absorption will eventually be saturated, and the entropy increase reaction will inevitably tend to balance, let's throw it on the 'battlefield' of Gatar first, and wait for it to melt naturally." Director Carmen was confident, like the wisest of the wisest of the wise...
