Chapter 521: The Mysterious Chest

As a refiner, Zhou Sen is much more familiar with smelting metal than digging holes using the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, plus he thought of using the space of the mecha button to stack stones, and the space for casting is also much larger, and the efficiency of smelting metal is very fast, and in just ten minutes, Zhou Sen melted the solid shell of the interstellar merchant ship.

To Zhou Sen's disappointment, when he smelted open the shell for the first time, there was a layer of metal inside.

Why is this happening?

Zhou Sen did not smelt immediately, but carefully observed the structure of the metal layer, and soon he determined that the layer of space under the shell of the interstellar merchant ship had been flattened by the boulder as a whole, like a sandwich cake.

I can only continue to smelt down.

After determining the reason, Zhou Sen did not rush to continue smelting, but strengthened the hole that was dug, and now he is digging down, that is to say, the hole is vertical, in case the stones on it collapse, then the matter will be a big deal.

Because of the metal, the reinforcement is very simple.

Zhou Sen smelted the extra metal from the hull of the melted interstellar merchant ship into various triangular brackets to form a solid fulcrum, and then used the metal to forge an iron net to cover it to prevent the stones on it from falling.

After getting the safety work done, Zhou Sen began to continue digging holes.

What shocked Zhou Sen was that he had dug through four layers of metal structures one after another, but there was still no space.

This sandwich cake is too thick!

What a power!

Zhou Sen was secretly shocked when he was smelting and digging a hole, and from the squeezing degree of this interstellar merchant ship, he could imagine how powerful the impact of the stone falling was at that time.

Lucky!

Thankfully!

Zhou Sen was glad that he had fallen into the crack of the boulder at that time, otherwise, he would have been crushed into a meatloaf by the huge impact generated by the fall of the boulder, and he didn't think that his dragon scale armor could resist the impact of hundreds of millions of tons.

Now, Zhou Sen is sure that there will definitely be space below, because, in addition to the first to third layers of metal completely superimposed, a little bit of space begins to gradually appear on the fourth layer, which shows that the space of the top layers plays a certain role as a buffer, and the space below will increase.

When digging to the fifth layer, Zhou Sen finally saw the space.

The space is only about 30 centimeters, and people can get into it, but there is no room for movement.

Zhou Sen decided to continue digging down, and speculated from the gradual increase in space that the further down, the larger the space would be. Of course, the bottom layers are not necessarily, because the impact of this fall and the oppressive force of the fall above are the top and bottom of the interstellar merchant ship, then, if there is space, it should be in the middle.

While digging through the sixth layer of metal, Zhou Sen looked down and finally saw enough space.

The overjoyed Zhou Sen did not jump down immediately, but returned to the top to completely seal the metal hole, because this hole is a dead place, and there is no point in keeping it, if it is sealed, it can be a lot less trouble, at least, there is no need to worry about floods pouring into the interstellar merchant ship from the crack in the stone when the flash flood erupts. It's a big joke to think that you didn't die when the mountain collapsed, and you ended up drowning in the flood.

Zhou Sen carefully welded the hole to ensure that no water would seep in, and then he turned back and jumped into the sixth-floor space.

When Zhou Sen jumped down, it was pitch black all around, and the originally bright flying skateboard indicator immediately turned into fireflies, and it was no longer visible. Zhou Sen checked the surroundings with the help of the faint light, and after making sure that there was enough space, he summoned supplies.

Stone!

Stone!

Or stones!

After Zhou Sen summoned a large pile of stones, he summoned the materials, and it took more than half an hour to find the lighting materials he needed.

After lighting up the lighting equipment, Zhou Sen was not in a hurry to explore this interstellar merchant ship, anyway, there was time, so he simply didn't do anything and summoned all the materials in the mecha button, because only in this way could he clean up all the stones he dug out of the hole.

After Zhou Sen cleaned up the space in the mecha button, he picked out some daily necessities needed, replenished some water and food, and then began to search for this interstellar merchant ship.

This interstellar merchant ship has very obvious traces of modification.

During the search, Zhou Sen found that even this layer of space had been seriously damaged, and many places on the top were distorted and deformed, and the metal dragon skeleton that played a supporting role was distorted and deformed, which was shocking.

There are lights!

Zhou Sen didn't have a goal, just walked in the corridor as much as he could.

After searching and inspecting for half an hour, Zhou Sen could not determine the specific purpose of this interstellar merchant ship, because most of the rooms he inspected were empty, and occasionally some rooms were stacked with supplies, which were also huge fully enclosed metal containers.

In the past, Zhou Sen, who was known as the Iron Rooster in Mogan Prison, would definitely open those metal containers to see what was going on, but now, he didn't have the slightest interest.

The top priority, Zhou Sen mainly wants to find out if there is anyone on this interstellar merchant ship, as for the rest, Zhou Sen is not in a hurry, after all, the next will be a very torturous long time, and he has time to toss the materials on this interstellar merchant ship......

……

There is light!

Suddenly, a light source appeared in front of me.

Zhou Sen was overjoyed, quickly turned off the lighting on the helmet, and then crept towards the light source. Soon, Zhou Sen found the light source, but, to his disappointment, it was just an undamaged fire lamp.

The lights were bright, because there was not just one light on, but along a long strip of corridors, and it was clear that the line had not been damaged, and the backup power supply was intact.

Don't know how long it will last?

After making sure that there was no one, Zhou Sen showed a look of disappointment on his face, you must know that in this underground space, what he is most afraid of is loneliness. For Zhou Sen, as long as someone is alive, it doesn't matter whether they are friends or enemies.

Zhou Sen spent a full four hours searching all the sixth floors, but he didn't find anything valuable.

However, Zhou Sen still figured out the general structure of this interstellar merchant ship, this is an interstellar merchant ship, but it has undergone a very complex refit, there are many, many rooms and warehouses in it, but except for those metal containers, most of the warehouses are empty, and those rooms are very tidy, but there are no traces of human habitation.

Do you want to continue exploring below?

After Zhou Sen thought about it for a while, he decided to rest first, after all, he had been digging holes for several days in a row, and he was holding on because he was not sure whether it was safe here, and now after making sure that this place is temporarily safe, he can make the choice of resting.

Zhou Sen found a room at random, and then fell asleep directly on the bed.

Zhou Sen was so tired that as soon as he lay down, he let out a snoring sound.

This sleep was good, Zhou Sen slept for ten hours before waking up, after waking up, he lay on the bed and looked around, he closed his eyes again, he hoped that he was dreaming, when he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the bed in the villa of Sifang City.

Zhou Sen didn't know that his villa in Sifang City had become an attraction, and the people of Sifang City regarded his villa as a holy place to check in. In addition to becoming a holy place for check-in, some mysterious characters broke into Zhou Sen's villa every now and then, and among them, there was Situ Glacier......

……

All forces are revolving around Zhou Sen, but the core character Zhou Sen is trapped in an interstellar merchant ship under the hundreds of millions of tons of boulders, and everything has nothing to do with him.

Zhou Sen opened his eyes again.

It's not changed, he's still on the Star Merchant Ship.

Silence.

It's a quiet world.

Zhou Sen felt that this place was more suitable for the life of the Grim Reaper!

In the vast universe, the Grim Reaper, who was carrying the Grim Reaper's scythe, was looking at the stars in the sky looking for the coordinates of the universe, and suddenly, he sneezed......

……

Zhou Sen ate something again, and put the Tang knife on his shoulder.

Zhou Sen decided to go down to the seventh floor to see the huge metal containers first, after all, he didn't know if there was any possibility of returning to this floor, so he tried to figure out the situation on this floor as much as possible.

"Click!"

Zhou Sen melted the locks of the metal container and opened the door on the metal container.

it!

To Zhou Sen's surprise, inside the metal container, there was actually a huge skeleton fossil, which looked similar to a dinosaur from the shape of the skeleton fossil, but he was not sure if it was a dinosaur fossil.

Zhou Sen carefully examined it.

No, it's not a fossil, it's a skeletal specimen!

What animal is this a skeletal specimen?

Zhou Sen looked up at the skeletal specimen, several meters high, and he could be sure that this was an extremely ferocious carnivorous beast, because it had very sharp and well-developed canine teeth, which indicated that it was a meat-eater, not a herbivore.

Unfortunately, although Zhou Sen is a scientist, his knowledge in the field of beasts is extremely limited, he doesn't know the name of this beast, he just feels like a dinosaur.

Don't know what's in other metal containers?

Zhou Sen didn't bother to think, because he didn't need to think, he just needed to open it and look at it to know the answer.

Zhou Sen began to open the metal containers one by one.

The metal containers are all specimens, and all of them are specimens of carnivores, some are skeletal specimens, and some are directly prototype specimens, even if they are no longer alive, but they are still domineering and murderous, as if they are about to burst out and hurt people at any time.

Soon, Zhou Sen found some small details on the base and support of the specimen, because there will be some text and numbers on the base and support, and even a brief introduction to the specimen.

These specimens are from the major museums of Ronnie, and in addition to some national museums, many of them are private museums.

Could it be that this starship is specifically collecting these things on Ronnie?

Quite possibly!

At present, Ronnie is in a state of turmoil and chaos, many people steal valuable artifacts from the National Museum to sell, and some private museums have also been affected by the ironclad cockroach plague and several coups, this time to collect valuable artifacts of the Ronnie Empire is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, Zhou Sen still has a lot of doubts, because, there are countless valuable cultural relics in the Ronnie Empire, although these specimens are the heavy weapons of the museum, they are definitely not the most valuable, and these specimens are very large and not easy to carry, if from the perspective of economic value and whether the transaction is convenient, it is not the best choice to toss these cultural relics.

Ironclad cockroach!

Zhou Sen continued to check, and when he opened a metal container, he was shocked, because it was actually a specimen of an ironclad giant cockroach inside.

This ironclad cockroach is obviously easy to be an ordinary ironclad cockroach, its limbs are very developed, but its body is smaller than that of an ordinary ironclad cockroach, and the whole looks less clumsy than an ordinary ironclad cockroach, and it appears more flexible and powerful.

Ronnie Imperial National Institute of Biology!

Zhou Sen found a row of delicate inscriptions on the metal bracket beneath the specimen of the ironclad cockroach. When Zhou Sen saw this inscription, he could already determine that the owner of these metal containers had a very clear goal, that is, to collect animal specimens, targeting carnivores, and not limited to any source, simply put, as long as the carnivore specimens could be obtained, they were all wanted.

Strange, since the boss behind the scenes is targeting animal specimens, why are there some gold, silver, jewelry, and some ancient books in those six boxes?

Zhou Sen felt that something was wrong.

Did you read it wrong?

After Zhou Sen checked all the metal containers, he decided to summon the six boxes inside the mecha button to check them carefully, because the time was too hurried before, he just glanced at it hastily and did not look carefully.

Six boxes were summoned.

Zhou Sen opened them one by one.

There was nothing strange about it, as I had seen before, it was some gold and silver jewelry and some ancient books.

Zhou Sen rummaged through the boxes and couldn't find the reason, so he randomly poured out all the items in a box and carefully examined them, after all, the piles in the box made it impossible for him to check them one by one.

"Whoa!"

The moment Zhou Sen poured out the gold, silver and jewelry in the box, he noticed that something was wrong, because the empty box was still heavy.

Is there some mechanism in the chest?

Zhou Sen carefully inspected the box, and soon, he found that the base of the box was a mezzanine, because there were some differences between the internal space and the external dimensions. Of course, this difference is difficult to notice if it weren't for the pouring of gold and silver jewelry, after all, these chests are very deceptive in appearance, similar to the shape of a magician's prop box.

Zhou Sen did not choose to violently destroy the box, and after careful inspection again, he found that the base of the box and the box were not a whole, and there were very clever metal mechanisms inside.

In front of the refiner, any mechanism is meaningless.

Zhou Sen opened the mechanism and removed the box, revealing the space inside the base.

Alone!

The moment he took off the box, the expression on Zhou Sen's face became petrified, because there was actually a person lying flat in the box......
