In a 30-story rental apartment in Francie City's South Side, Fanster and Tony Hockney are playing poker boringly, and McMenus is alone watching a violent movie on the computer.

Click!

There was three knocks on the door. Fanster and Tony Hockney dropped the cards in their hands and picked up the pistol beside them. Minas rolled over and hid on the edge of the table, his hand on a gun taped under the table, like a jaguar ready to strike at his prey.

Fanst cautiously opened the door.

"Salt is from the thunder (it turns out to be you)! Scare mess (scared the baby to death)! ”

"Our big guy just chatted with his lawyer girlfriend!" Wiberkent said with a wicked smile on his face, and raised his hands to make a quotation mark motion, apparently saying that chatting is not as simple as chatting.

"Haha! Are you finally willing to show up? Tony Hockney said, putting away the gun in his hand.

Keaton pushed Viberkent into the room and said in a very angry tone, "If you dare to spy on me again, I guarantee that you will all die a terrible death!" ”

"Hey! We don't want to! But how do we know what you said to your lawyer girlfriend? You've got the money, how do I know if you're going to dump us for that ticket? Menas stood up and looked at Keaton with a squint in his eyes.

"I'm not going to be as stupid as you." Keaton sat down on the single couch in the living room, looked at the metal box on the coffee table in front of him, and asked, "Did you open the thing?" ”

"No meat (no). Drink when you come to do it (we're waiting for you to identify this great moment)! ”

"It's been scanned, but there may be trackers or bombs inside, and we don't dare force it open, so we're ......," Wiberkent said.

"I'll do it anyway." Keaton shook his head, he knew that Tony Hockney was an expert at making bombs, but defusing bombs was not his specialty. And the opposite. Keaton's own hands are very stable because of the precise biochemical experiments he has to perform.

Placing the metal case on the coffee table, Keaton pulled out the kit he had brought from home. First, a rolling pin-like scanning device was used to sweep around the metal box.

"It's really hard, it seems to be shielded by some kind of metal, and you can't see what's going on inside. Generally this is to protect something important, and once the box is opened, the explosives inside will destroy the person who opened the box. And destroying the contents of the chest. Keaton analyzed.

"Whew~!" Tony Hockney made a light gesture, "I know of twenty such devices and explosives. ”

"Can you open it?" Keaton asked rhetorically.

"How do I know which one it is? And if such a device can be opened casually, then it will not become a waste? Tony Hockney made a look of disdain, as if to say, you IQ also want to open the box?

However, Tony Hockney and the others in the room seemed to underestimate Keaton's abilities. Keaton took out a thin metal probe and inserted it vertically from one side of the box into the gap in the opening of the metal box, and then broke it diagonally, and the thin metal probe was inserted into the box.

"Hmm~!" Keaton looked at the small monitor. He didn't speak, just continued to dig the probe deeper.

The other four held their breath and took a step back at the same time, as if the box was about to explode in the next second.

"How?" McMenus asked.

"It's a solid bomb, about the size of a goose egg. The trigger, thirty degrees to the left side of the box, is a solenoid switch. ”

"Oh~! Okay! I know how to do it. Tony Hockney also took out his toolbox and first made a mark on the left side of the box with a laser pen.

"Then it's time for the moment." Keaton pulls out the probe. Another unexpected tool, a small laser cutting pen.

"Use this?" Tony Hockney looked at Keaton in surprise. It's like looking at a prehistoric monster again.

"It's like having surgery, we bypass some key places and we can avoid killing a person, just like we remove half of our liver, but we don't die." Keaton made an analogy as he swiped a laser pen across the metal box.

The entire box is cut open as if it were a carved work of art. It became a huge hollowed-out square candlestick, except that the inside of the huge candlestick was all pieces of a box that had been cut off.

"These sensors are designed to prevent the box from being opened from elsewhere, and as long as these sensors are avoided, the explosive device will not be triggered and we will not be in danger." Keaton seemed confident while cutting the metal box. He said.

Under the stunned gaze of the four people, the metal box eventually turned into a cage made of thin metal wires.

"Now, carefully take out the cut scrap and we'll be able to get the contents." Keaton dropped the laser pen and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. He had just been focusing on cutting for more than an hour, and he was extremely tired mentally.

Wiberkent smiled meaningfully, then nodded, and said, "Let's see what's inside." ”

Ten minutes later, the five men in the dilapidated apartment were staring at what was in front of them, swallowing their saliva vigorously.

On the coffee table in front of them, in addition to the metal box that had been turned into a cage, there was also a pile of blue shiny crystals. These crystals are the thickness of a thumb, and the facets are the most perfect hexagons, with each prism as long as the palm of a hand.

This sapphire is a crystal extracted from hundreds of kilograms of crystal ore that has been specially processed and condensed, and it is also the purest sapphire crystal used by other alien races in the galaxy for trading. Such blue crystals are very rare in the Federation, because almost all crystal mines are in the war areas of the Federation and other races, and these crystals are also valuable resources that soldiers can only obtain in bloody battles.

Crystal mines sparked humanity's Sixth Industrial Revolution. Because of it, the computer can handle it faster and in a smaller size. In a chip the size of a grain of rice, it is the particles that are mixed with these crystals that multiply its computing speed. Adding crystal ore to the alloy refining process can improve the toughness and strength of the alloy by adding even the most impure crystal ore.

Even the lightsaber used by Skywalker, the excitation hedron of the high-temperature particle stream is extracted from this crystal ore.

"These should be worth billions!" Keaton said in a trembling voice. (To be continued.) )
