Chapter 393: Catwalk? Rat Path? (c)
"Iron?" Chen Peilin played with the iron card in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"That's right, we have identified that the iron brand is made of pure iron as a whole, and this material refining process cannot be done without the fifth-level smelting technology. Moreover, this iron plate does not exhibit softening properties, and its hardness reaches 500 dus (the hardness of a standard diamond is one du, apparently adjusted by energy resonance). Alan Scott replied as he looked at the iron cards that kept flipping in Chen Peilin's hands.
"Have you checked the sign on the iron plate? What is the organization? Touching the diamond-shaped sign on the iron plate, Chen Peilin asked curiously.
"We have hacked into the station's network of announcements, and have not found the slightest civilization or organization associated with the logo on this iron plate. Fearing unnecessary disputes from being discovered, we did not hack into the station's official network system. But from what we've learned, it's not a simple organization.
Because according to the official regulations of the space station, the activation of the ultra-long-distance stargate requires extremely high permissions, and each spacecraft will be strictly checked, and even the identity information of each crew member will be checked clearly. Moreover, the energy consumed to activate an ultra-long-distance stargate is almost between 5,000 and 10,000 amethysts, and the cost we pay is only fifty amethysts.
If you go through the official route, this fee will increase at least tenfold! From this, we can deduce that either the official space station here is enriching its own pockets, or there is some hole in the management of the space station that has been exploited by speculators. A researcher with flat eyes in the Temporary Information Science Department of the 2nd Formation reported.
"It can't be fake, call the Pfister black elf named Gu Rui'an, let's confirm it again" After thinking about it, Chen Peilin still felt uneasy, if he was officially "fishing for law enforcement" by the space station, it would be a big deal, and the current fabricated identity of the second formation really can't stand scrutiny, as long as you go deeper, you will definitely be exposed.
The current identity of the second formation is a caravan of a sixth-level civilization, and this sixth-level civilization is still mentioned in the sovereign beacon that the formation accidentally received during its journey, and they don't know much about this sixth-level civilization Chen Peilin, so they only know a name.
"Gurion is waiting outside."
"Invite Gruan in, if it really succeeds, she is the biggest hero of the second formation"
"Meet President Chen" Gu Ruian walked in uneasily, and directly gave Chen Peilin the most solemn etiquette of the Pfister Black Elf.
"You're welcome, we already know your abilities, and if this operation can be successful, we will promote you to the first foreign ambassador of the second formation. Now we're inviting you to come over just to see how you managed to find such a hidden organization.
In my mind, even the privateer fleet of the Pfister Black Elves could not have sailed so far, or was it possible for this iron-clad organization to be a behemoth hidden in the universe, with an active range of tens of millions of light-years? Chen Peilin expressed his doubts.
"Actually, before entering the space city, I didn't know which force was engaged in this kind of work in the space station, and even now that we have made a deal, I don't know the true face of this force. The reason why I was able to quickly connect with this force is entirely because we Pfister black elves have been drifting in the sea of stars for too long, and we already know some unspoken rules.
In this universe, there is no absolutely holy, selfless civilization, every civilization has its own dark side, and every race has underground forces engaged in this gray work, which is simply unavoidable. Intelligent life is selfish, and as long as there is an opportunity, there are always some people who dare to break the law, take advantage of the fire, and damage the public interest and benefit themselves.
Our Pfister privateer group has been drifting in the sea of stars for millions of years, encountering all kinds of unexpected situations, suffering all kinds of losses, and even the seemingly selfless civilized officials are still greedy and ugly in private. Over time, the Pfister privateers shifted their means of communication from the official to the underground. Although this increases some risks, it reduces costs and improves efficiency.
And the so-called risks are also relative, and most of the time, this underground force is even more reliable than the official. There is a saying in our Pfister Black Elf civilization: It is more cost-effective and efficient to ask corrupt officials to do things than to invite clean officials. It's not absolutely true, but it's still very effective most of the time when used in places like space stations and Freeports," said Gruan.
"Then how did you find these forces in such a short period of time? Judging from Ke Zheen's briefing, it only took you a short time to find the location of these forces," Chen Peilin looked a little interested.
"In our experience, such underground forces are generally located in places where there is a chaotic flow of people, a complex mix of forces, and poor official supervision. Slums generally meet these conditions, and dirty slums are breeding grounds for all kinds of forces in any spaceport, almost without exception.
If foreign forces want to find out the news and contact the local underground forces, they must have a place with a huge flow of people and low prices. Naturally, cheap taverns in the slums fit these conditions perfectly.
Of course, these are not fixed, and if the taverns can't come into contact with these forces, we will try our luck in brothels, slave markets, and even crowded places like gladiatorial arenas and casinos. I can only say that this time the luck is really good, we only found the right owner on the first attempt.
And the first step in engaging with these forces is to get their attention. Before arriving at the tavern's door, I noticed that the tavern's guards were very strong, and from their expressions, they seemed to be very disgusted with drunkards, which was very suspicious for an ordinary tavern. Very few taverns have very strong thugs in front of the door, which is literally driving customers outside. Most likely, they are standing there with other tasks.
Later, I tested them again and pulled out a piece of aquamarine. Such a blue crystal can buy hundreds of thousands of taverns, which can be said to be a huge amount of money, but the doorman didn't seem surprised at all, but made a move to let go. Since then, I've known that I'm connected to the underground.
But I don't know if this underground force can help us, so we have to meet with their contacts for further negotiations. In general, the relationship between underground forces like this is always complicated, as long as they are connected with one force, then the next step is to contact other forces through this force. However, the ability of this force encountered this time is quite capable, and after only negotiating the price, there is no problem in the action."
"The time and place of the operation are not written on this iron plate, how can we contact each other?"
"The other party will take the initiative to contact us, this kind of force is very cautious in doing things, and there will definitely be no handle left. I think even if we had sent the army to search the tavern now, we would have found nothing, and even the passages we passed through at that time might have been virtual, and we might have been far away from the tavern at that time."
"Hmm...... This is not a high-level underworld in the interstellar era, but the ability of this underworld is also too great. Maybe there is such a place in the Golden Crow fleet, and then Li Xiang will have to check it out," Chen Peilin said to himself.
"Master, there's a resource dealer out there to sell us their resources," the elf's hologram jumped out and reported.
"It's coming!" (To be continued.) )
