Su Donglai trotted all the way, and after running for more than ten minutes, he still didn't see the entrance of the mine, so he stopped in confusion and looked around.

The cave was too big, at least three or four hundred meters high, and the walls were neat, as if it were one of those large TBMs that were excavated all at once.

Su Donglai continued to walk forward, the more he walked, the more frightened he became, there were more and more cracks on the stone walls above his head, on the left and right, and the more he walked out, the bigger the cracks, and in some places, he could even see the sunlight coming in.

All the way to the mouth of the cave, this can no longer be called the mouth of the cave, the whole mine is completely cracked, everywhere is covered with cracks of several meters, even more than ten meters, to the outermost edge, is a cliff twenty or thirty meters high, outside the cliff is a tattered railway, only the dotted rails are still hanging on it, most of the place only the bridge piers remain.

Looking into the distance, a gray rock, towering high and low, a bit like a stone forest, and the scenery in the distance can not be seen, blocked by the stone forest. A few rays of sunlight slanted on the rocky mountain opposite, and it seemed that it was going to get dark soon.

Back at the campsite, the light was already very dark, and after explaining the situation to everyone, Billy said, "That's it, go to bed first, and deal with anything tomorrow." ”

The surrounding light gradually disappeared, and several people also entered their own tents, Su Donglai also lay in his tent, but did not enter the sleeping bag, but lay on the mattress, covered his head with the sleeping bag, and carefully looked at the video player.

There are more than a dozen categories of education, society, science and technology, medicine, etc., and the content of each category is divided into many sub-categories, and there are countless of them. For example, in the entertainment category, there are millions of ancient and modern movies in them, with a total of millions of hours of video. Su Donglai estimated that there are at least hundreds of millions of hours of playback in the entire video player, which is really a good thing!

So he quickly looked for the society, pirates, and finally understood the general meaning of pirates.

I turned off the video player, took the sleeping bag off my head, and prepared to sleep, but I heard a strange sound coming from the sleeping bags of the two ladies.

After dawn the next day, everyone had breakfast and went their separate ways, but it was obvious that Master Guo Sam and Miss Li Meilian, the public relations manager, came together, while the bodyguard Xiao Jianqiang was with Miss Taylor, the business investigator.

Billy couldn't move, so he said to Su Dong: "Come east, you don't have to guard me, go around and relax." ”

"Okay." Su Donglai stood up, packed his food, packed it in a bag for a tent, carried it on his back, and walked towards the entrance of the cave. This is a good habit to develop in the new star, bring food with you, otherwise you will be blind if you have an accident.

After walking for a while, I saw the old professor looking down at the rocks, and from time to time he picked up two stones and knocked them on each other.

Su Dong stepped forward and said to the old professor, "Mr. Howard, take a break and drink saliva." ”

The professor smiled back and said, "Okay, young man, your accent is a little strange. ”

"We all talk like this, and we don't think about it!"

"Maybe the people you have there have less contact with the outside world, so the accent doesn't change much."

"You mean that my accent is closer to that of the ancients?"

"It wasn't long, it was estimated to be three or four hundred years ago. At that time, the accent was expansive, without any local characteristics. And now people, it's really a bit retro. ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"It's that everyone is okay, proud of returning to the ancestral star, and proud of having old things. In the past, people used to speak the language of the ancestral star as a soil bun, and now they speak the language of the ancestral star as the foundation, which is a symbol of the old aristocracy. ”

Su Donglai listened as if he didn't understand, but he didn't make a sound.

Howard saw the expression on Su Donglai's face, and knew that the other party didn't seem to understand, so he didn't continue, and changed the topic and said, "Do you know what kind of ore is mined in this mine?" ”

"I don't know!"

"It is rhenium, a special element, with a molecular weight of seventy-five, and there is a derivative in this mine, which is an indispensable material in the interstellar engine, and the price on the market is very expensive, and there are very few such veins in the universe."

"Are you an expert in mineralogy?"

"No, I'm a botanist, and my research topic is: what are the differences in the fruits of the same plant, which grows on different soils, and what kind of medicinal value it has. This time, I went back to my home planet with Wang Yanzu to attend a seminar on Chinese medicine, and he is a doctor of Chinese medicine pharmacy. ”

"Does this have anything to do with ore?"

"Yes, you think, if you don't know all kinds of ores, how do you plant plants on them, you don't know the various ingredients in ores, how do you know what effect it has on plants, and then what effect it has on medicinal effects?"

"So you're familiar with minerals."

"Yes. Let's go ahead and have a look. ”

"Okay!"

……

When we came back at noon, when everyone was sitting together for lunch, Su Donglai asked Billy: "Mr. Billy, is rhenium ore very scarce?" ”

"Rhenium ore? It's not rare, it's very rare, and it's used for starry sky engines. ”

Miss Taylor took over the topic: "Rhenium ore is a strategic resource, and the government and the big family control it very strictly. Donglai, why did you suddenly think of this topic? ”

Su Donglai smiled and pointed to his body: "This is the rich mine, although it has been mined." ”

"So we can infer where we are now?" Mr. Billy said excitedly.

Young Master Guo hugged Li Meilian's waist hard, and said disdainfully: "How is that possible!" ”

"That's maybe, I'm doing business research, business also has a history, three hundred years ago rhenium ore, two hundred years ago, mined two hundred years ago, come east, borrow your video player for use."

Miss Taylor took the video player and looked it up skillfully, still muttering in her mouth: "Rhenium ore, you should check technology, minerals, rhenium ore, and then check the mining time, um......"

Looking at Miss Taylor's focused appearance, beautiful face, fair neck, and red lips talking, Young Master Guo Sam's heart was hot, this is a completely different style from Li Meilian. I can't help but look at the bodyguard next to Miss Taylor, very unpleasant.

"Mr. Xiao, did you come out on a mission this time?"

"Yes."

"I wonder how the mission has been carried out so far?"

Xiao Jianqiang's face darkened for a while: "Basically, it can be said that it has failed." ”

"Bodyguards bodyguards, people or goods?"

"Surety."

"So, if the mission fails, the person dies?"

"Probably not, but I can't say for sure."

"Yes, yes, no, no, man, a little bit of a man."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Look at Miss Taylor, a beautiful woman, and she is so careful to help us check the address, just to find a glimmer of hope, you are a big man, sitting motionless next to you, like something!"

This Xiao is strong, not a fool, listening to the tone of this person's voice, he knew that he was that kind of gentleman, so he gently grabbed Miss Taylor's shoulder with his uninjured left hand, and said, "Well, you are a man, give me a chance to behave, and you can also check the address!" ”

"You!" Sam. Guo stood up suddenly, pointed at Xiao's strong nose and said, "What are you, you dare to underestimate me." ”

Xiao Jianqiang said slowly: "You can prove yourself!" ”

Young Master Guo seemed to have never been so angry, his face was flushed, his breathing was tight, and he seemed to faint.

"Sam, don't be angry, don't be like him." Li Meilian gently shook his hand and persuaded.

Hearing Li Meilian's soft voice, Guo Sam's anger seemed to be reduced.

"Don't get angry." Xiao Jianqiang followed softly.

Then Young Master Guo didn't continue to be angry, took Li Meilian to find a place to sit down, looked up at the top of the mine, and said, "A bodyguard who failed in a mission, I don't know if he will be punished?" I don't know if I can keep my job. ”

Xiao's strong body trembled obviously, and Miss Taylor also seemed to feel it, and with her beautiful eyes, she glanced at Xiao Jianqiang: "Such a big person, he still looks like a child, isn't he just a bodyguard, just find another one." ”

"That's different, I'm the Luo family's bodyguard."

"The Luo family? The Luo family in the Red Leaf Star Field? Miss Taylor covered her mouth at once, as if what she had just said should not have been said.

Su Donglai didn't understand what they were arguing about, just stared closely, watching Miss Taylor's operation process, as if he wanted to learn more operation skills from her.

Miss Taylor stabilized her emotions and gently grabbed Xiao's strong arm: "Who is protecting this time?" ”

"I can't say."

Mr. Billy smiled and said: "What can't be said, the target of the pirates was originally her, at this time, the outside world has long been turned upside down, and some of us who are missing have long been investigated!" ”

"Why? Big Brother Billy. ”

"Because the identity of the target is too important, the normal process after the incident is that all the people on the same passenger ship must see people in life and corpses in death, whether they are alive or dead, they must be investigated to the end, and the missing people, if they come back, they will not be investigated by the government departments to eliminate suspicions, I am afraid that you will be under the supervision of the government for the rest of your life."

"Big Brother Billy, we are also victims, what suspicion do we need to eliminate?" Young Master Guo still didn't understand.

"Collusion between inside and outside, fool." Xiao Jianqiang was really impatient.

"You're smart, so why don't you hide with your goal? Instead, the mission failed. Young Master Guo turned around and said mockingly.

Li Meilian finally couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Billy, who is this person?" ”

"Miss Luo."

Everyone sighed, Miss Luo, it's too far away from them, and everyone doesn't know what to say.

After being silent for a while, Young Master Guo suddenly asked, "Donglai, why did you appear in the pirate ship?" I remember when we first went up, a pirate called you to help, you can't be a pirate insider, right? ”

Su Donglai just learned about pirates yesterday, but he didn't expect it to be on him today. Although it is said that pirates have existed for a long time, Mr. Wu and Dongfang Wolf have not told themselves about it! But one thing is certain, that is, once you are involved with these, you will definitely be in trouble.

"I'm different from you, look at Mr. Billy like this, you know that you must have been through a fierce battle, I'm different, I have no money and no power, I set up a dilapidated airship, came out of my remote colony planet, and when others pointed their main guns at me, before he could say "I'm a pirate", I came out, and others politely invited me to the pirate ship. ”

"And this kind of thing?" Even Billy thought it was strange.

"Is there anyone on your colony who can prove everything about you? In this way, when the government conducts an investigation in the future, it will be more advantageous. Billy asked.

"No, before I met the pirates, I had only seen more than thirty people in total, and we were very miserable there, and my little reconnaissance boat had not been driven for hundreds of years." Su Donglai deliberately said that he was miserable, but in fact, he didn't know that his real situation was worse than what he said.

Professor Howard listened and let out a long sigh: "There will be unsatisfactory people everywhere. After speaking, he patted Su Donglai on the shoulder.

"Alright, everyone, we should be able to determine our location." Miss Taylor interjected at the right time.

This should be the BBCZ9M planetary system in the Wang Chen Star Field, and we remember it very well in history on the fifth planet: it was officially put into operation in September 3470, and the last machine was evacuated in May 3575, and the distance from the space rift here was within thirty light years, which coincided with the period of our escape.

Su Donglai fell headlong on Professor Howard's body, and the old professor picked him up, patted him on the face and said, "What's the matter, Donglai?" ”

Wang Yanzu also came over to help, pulled Donglai to lie down, watched him slowly open his eyes, and asked softly: "Where is uncomfortable, I will have a little medical skills." ”

Su Donglai suddenly sat up from the ground and asked Miss Taylor urgently, "What date is today?" What year, month, and time? ”

Everyone looked at each other, what was going on! The days have passed? However, Miss Taylor replied solemnly: "October 15, 3795, 11:05 p.m." ”

Su Donglai's heart fell into a frenzy, wasn't it 3415, how did it become 3795? There is a difference of 380 years, this, what's going on?

Seeing Su Donglai's expression, everyone faintly felt bad in their hearts, Miss Taylor quickly turned on the video player again, checked the BBCZ9M planet, just watched it for a few minutes, and suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and let out an exclamation, which startled everyone.

Miss Taylor hurriedly handed the video player to Mr. Billy, and when Mr. Billy saw it, he immediately gave the player to the professor next to him, and said, "Pass it on." ”

Mr. Billy lay on the ground and said to everyone, "At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the tide will come ashore, and our hole will be flooded, and the water will not recede until two hours, and now we will soon pack up our things and go to the place of refuge." ”

Mr. Billy stopped talking and looked at the few people in front of him, as if everyone hadn't understood what he meant, so he turned his head and asked Howard, "Professor, which way are you going?" ”

The video player turned around in everyone's hands, and everyone knew what was going on, the faces of the two ladies turned pale at that time, and Young Master Guo's legs trembled, and he kept muttering: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die." Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned and ran into the hole.

Su Donglai hurriedly carried the food, and the professor was busy carrying the food, and said while busy: "Go outside, the outside will be washed away by water at most, and the inside will be blocked by water, and there will be a dead end." ”

Young Master Guo ran back and grabbed Li Meilian and ran inside, while saying: "I don't believe you, the water has only been here for two hours, and the water will recede after two hours, and we won't come again for half a month, and the pirates will take us at that time." ”

After helping the professor carry the food, Zhao Ping'an asked Mr. Billy, "Mr. Billy, what do you think?" ”

"My legs are broken, and I can't go there."

"What about Mr. Xiao?"

"I want to hide in place."

"Where's Mr. Wang?"

"I, I'll just take refuge on the spot."

"Okay, two kilometers ahead, there's a crack, you go to that place and climb to a high place."

"Okay."

"Mr. Xiao, you carry the provisions of the four of you, and I will carry Mr. Billy."

"Okay, what about the food for both of them?"

"Stay here, maybe they remember it and will come back to get it."

"Professor, can you move?"

"Alright, let's go."

"Let's go."
