Earth.

Li Yi first went back to visit the old neighbors of the machinery factory, and then appeared in the Great Lakes region of North America, the salvage site of the Compass.

I saw that the open space was full of large and small parts, and the He family, under the leadership of the old lady He Taiping, was restoring the battleship, and Miss He Lan, who was very familiar with Li Yi, was also at the scene.

With a slight smile, Li Yi walked over and said to He Taiping and He Lan: "I haven't seen you for a long time, are you still used to living on the earth now?" ”

He Taiping was stunned suddenly, and hurriedly said: "Get used to it!" I'm so used to it! We ate well, slept well, and the shelter arranged for us by the military department was like a garden, and the only sound we could hear every morning was the birds chirping! The people of our He family have always been very grateful to Engong. ”

He Lan was also a little surprised when he saw Li Yi suddenly appear, and said with a red face: "He Feng and He Yu, they all went to school, but their grades were not very good, and they had been clamoring for a long time if they saw you." ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "They only entered school at this age, it's normal to not be able to keep up at first, take your time, going to school doesn't necessarily require good grades, being with peers, having a suitable environment is the most important thing." ”

"By the way, what's going on with the Compass now?"

He Taiping hurriedly said: "This battleship is so complicated, according to the information we have, it should be a special kind of ancient cruisers, to be precise, the Compass is an expedition ship." ”

"Expedition ships?"

"Yes, you see, the Mir actually only has two main guns, and its firepower is relatively weak among cruisers, but this ship has this powerful radar array and up to twelve different scanning systems."

"A warship in the universe, if it weren't for an expedition warship, who would have come up with such a complex navigation and radar. In addition, the interior decoration of the battleship is also extremely exquisite, presumably a special type of ship owned by a certain big man. He Taiping said.

Li Yi nodded slightly, this ship belongs to Ling Bo Qiulin's only son, and he is also a prince, and it is normal that he is well-equipped, but this ship is a professional expedition ship? There is no reason for you to be a prince, and you are going to risk everywhere, right?

Maybe it's because some of the Violet clan don't want outsiders to know the secrets of the Dao. So it can only be done by his own son and the most loyal family under his command?

Li Yidao: "Did you find anything strange?" ”

He Taiping was puzzled: "What kind of strange thing? ”

Li Yidao: "I don't know what Lu Dao is looking for, but there should be some special existence on the compass, if you find it, notify me as soon as possible, and I will stay on Earth for a while." ”

He Taiping touched his chin and thought for a while: "If you want to say that there is really a strange thing, you just happened to come, this strange thing is being salvaged, and the underwater news says that it will come out of the water in another half an hour." ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "Then I'll wait here, what is the strange thing you are talking about?" ”

He Taiping said: "It's the insurance warehouse of the compass." Made of a very hard metal. ”

Swish~

As He Taiping said, about half an hour later, the Compass's vault was pulled up from the bottom of the lake by a parrot-class engineering aircraft that took off and landed vertically, and then lay flat on the open field.

The Compass was hit by an internal shock in mid-air, and the hull broke into three, and the vault was located exactly at the second fracture position, so it was thrown far away at that time.

Li Yi and some of the soldiers in charge of salvaging the Compass took out the aquatic plants on the vault, only to see that the vault was not large. There are about a hundred cubes, made of a silver metal.

Vault perimeter. You can clearly see where the metal beam is broken, but the huge impact on the battleship has not damaged the vault itself, and the silver metal is still brand new, and there are not even scratches on it, which shows how hard it is.

"It's not easy to open a vault in its entirety, even if it's cut with a high-energy laser. Also calculate the power, if the power is too strong and damages the things in the library, it will be bad. He Taiping explained.

Li Yi nodded slightly, He Taiping is worthy of being an expert, and he thinks thoughtfully. However, Li Yi took a closer look and found that the secret lock of the vault seemed to have something in common with his fugue necklace.

So, Li Yi untied the fugue from his neck, the magical black space spar was worn on a cylindrical alloy rod, Li Yi never figured out why the pendant had such a complex design, and after comparing the keyhole of the vault several times, Li Yi suddenly realized.

While talking about the compass, Ling Bo Qiulin also reminded the iQue necklace, and she asked Li Yi to take such a valuable thing with her, because the key to the compass vault was one of the sections of the iQue necklace!

Li Yi couldn't help but be very excited, inserted the cylindrical alloy on the tiny keyhole, and twisted it slightly, and then, the fierce metal friction sound sounded, as if there was some kind of interlocking mechanical effect inside the vault, and in the next second, the thick alloy sealed door of the vault flashed a gap.

"How do you have the key!?" He Taiping asked in surprise.

Li Yidao: "This compass actually belongs to a friend of mine, and this necklace was also given to me by her." ”

He Taiping nodded slightly, Li Yi gently pulled the doorknob, opened the sealed door, and then walked in.

A 100-cube vault isn't really that big, it's like a large safe, just big enough for a few humans to stand side by side.

Most of the vault was filled with documents, stacked on top of each other, carefully wrapped in waterproof paper, and in addition to a wooden box, long and without a lock, the size of a box used on earth to hold calligraphy and paintings.

Li Yi thought about it for a while, and asked people to pack all these files, and the wooden box was casually clamped under Li Yi's armpit.

"Send them all to me, and if you find anything else, you can keep me informed." Li Yi said to He Taiping.

……

Li Yi don't look at the net worth, in fact, there is no real estate in his hand, the only thing is just the old two-bedroom house of the old machinery factory, now the neighbors have moved away, living in a more comfortable new community in the suburbs, Li Yi returned to the old machinery factory to see the weeds around, and felt a little deserted.

The soldiers of the military department still left the big boxes in the living room, Li Yi nodded and said: "It's nothing, you guys go back first, I'll take a look at these things today, and I'll see Ricardo tomorrow." ”

The leading warrior saluted Li Yi and said, "A friend of yours has arrived, claiming to be Ye Fan, who came from Maryland, you see..."

Li Yi was overjoyed and said: "That's right, I'm waiting for him, let him come to me directly." ”

"Yes! I'll let you know. The warrior said.

Li Yi thought about it, put the wooden box into the cabinet, and tidied up the living room a little, the hot water had just been boiled, and a shuttle machine that was obviously from an alien planet landed in the compound of the machinery factory, Ye Fan rushed down the shuttle and shouted Li Yi's name loudly.

"Come on! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Li Yi beckoned to Ye Fan at the window.

Swish~

Ye Fan walked through the gloomy staircase of the old-fashioned house to Li Yi's house, and just hugged Li Yi, "Brother Li Yi!" ”

Li Yi patted Ye Fan's shoulder with a smile and said, "I've worked hard all the way, I haven't seen you for more than a year, you are stronger than you were before, sit down." ”

"How did you have time to come to me on Earth?" Li Yi asked while pouring tea.

Ye Fan said: "There is a mining exhibition in Bristol Star Field, and I came to attend the meeting on behalf of our family, so I came to see you by the way." ”

Li Yidao: "Mining? You don't practice martial arts now? ”

Ye Fan scratched his head and said: "You're right, people's talents are not the same, and if you forcibly cultivate, you won't have too good results, I don't practice martial arts, and I'm learning mining now." ”

Li Yidao: "It's not bad for a son to inherit his father's business, your family's mining area has made a lot of money, right?" ”

Ye Fan was a little embarrassed and said: "I have made a lot of money, and the loan I owed to the consortium has been paid off, but my father and I are getting busier and busier, if this mining exhibition is not held in Bristol, I am afraid that I will have to wait two years to come to see you." ”

Li Yi shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "Two years? Two years later, I don't know where I am. ”

According to the plan, the exorcist clan will arrive in Bristol within three months, and Li Yi will follow them to the Ten Emperor Star Domain, but Ye Fan is coincidental, no matter how early or later, he will not see Li Yi.

"What? You're going far away? Ye Fan asked curiously.

"Well, but that's three months later, and it can be delayed until half a year at the latest." Li Yi said casually.

Ye Fan immediately talked about his work and study in the mining company, Li Yi listened with relish, counting, Ye Fan was the first friend Li Yi made after leaving the earth, and since then it has been out of control, even Li Yi's first pot of gold was sent by Ye Fan's father.

"If you have time, why don't you come with me to the mining show? This is the largest mining event in the surrounding star fields, and it is the first time that our family has been invited to participate, and it is not far from the earth, and it is less than two days away. Ye Fan proposed.

Between the existing civilizations in the universe, all walks of life are also more or less connected, the gathering Ye Fan said should be a meeting between more than a dozen nearby star mining giants, speaking of which, Li Yi himself also has a Coke Mining, but Coke Mining is not a well-known enterprise at present, so he did not receive an invitation.

After thinking about it, Li Yidao: "Does this mining chamber of commerce do mining machinery business?" ”

Ye Fan said: "Of course, there are all kinds of state-of-the-art mining ships, transport ships, mineral trading, in short, everything related to mining can be found in the party, and there are many large enterprises that will go to the site to negotiate orders." ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "In this case, it's not bad to go and have a look, I still have some things, let's leave tomorrow night." ”

After the discussion was over, after chatting for a while, Ye Fan left Li Yi's house and went back to his boat to rest.

After sending Ye Fan away, Li Yi took out the wooden box from the kitchen and put it on the table, as well as the dozen boxes of documents, which were also pushed into the living room. (To be continued......)
