The next step is to wait for them to find "us". Xia Lian muttered in a low voice.

He looked at Elsha, "Elsa, arrange for people to take turns staring at this group. ”

"Yes." Aisha replied.

Xia Lian walked out of the main control room and stood at the staircase, with an unobstructed view of the entire assembly workshop.

At this moment, the pirate ship was docked in the same place where Fenrir had been docked, and the mechanical arm was welding to repair the gap that Fenrir had struck in.

Fenrir temporarily docked next to the Eternal Night Star to maintain a holographic projection, and there are stars nearby, so the Sail of Alvaco is enough to supply all of Fenrir's energy consumption.

The pirates were being tied up one by one, escorted by the crew of the Kui Star ship, and sent off the pirate ship.

They will be taken to a sorted room in the base and kept in a centralized manner.

Of course, this is temporary, and next, they will be implanted with micro-explosives made of micro-nanons in their brains, which will be remotely manipulated by modified people and detonated at any time.

And then they'll be released because they're very short of manpower, such as dismantling the Quistarship and tidying up the rebel base to revitalize it, all of which need to be done by people.

These pirates are very suitable manpower.

At this moment, Wang Zhen and Mercury are still verifying the identities of the new federate people who have been kidnapped.

Soon, Mercury disembarked from the pirate ship and flew to the top of the staircase where Xia Lian was standing.

"After checking out, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-two people, basically all of whom are people on the cruise ship, and some of them have cooperative relations with the Principality of Bahram.

According to them, they were invited by the eldest prince of the Bahram family to come to the Duchy of Bahram to listen to the concert tour of the number eight singers.

It should be a political social.

The other part is purely for the concert. Mercury said.

"It seems that this singer is really popular, so many dignitaries and nobles have come all the way to the Principality of Bahram to support her." Xia Lian sighed.

Mercury continued: "In addition to these people, the middle class occupies a relatively large part. ”

After a pause, she continued, "the ship's energy system is fairly intact and can move at warp speed, and there are twelve small warplanes in the hangar, which can carry up to twenty people, and it is just enough to send those people out. ”

Xia Lian fell into thought, and after a moment, he said, "Bring Locks up." ”

"Yes."

Mercury then began to communicate with the members of the Kui Star Ship who were escorting Locks, and soon, Locks was once again brought to Xia Lian under Carl's escort.

Xia Lian looked condescendingly at Locks, who was kneeling in front of him.

"What are you going to do with these hostages if you don't meet us?"

Locks lowered his head and said nothing, as if he were dead.

But Mercury didn't get used to him, and she reached out and pressed it directly to the back of his head, and silver threads stretched out of her fingers and into his brain.

Soon, Locks slowly raised his head, his eyes were already full of white light, as if he had been ingested by his soul.

"May you ask questions?" Mercury said.

Xia Lian raised an eyebrow and looked at Mercury.

"AS can integrate nerves to form a biological computer, so this biological computer can naturally link to the brains of the rest of the people." Mercury explained.

Xia Lian bowed, he looked at Locks, "Answer me." ”

There was a clear struggle on Locks' face, but then, he spoke slowly.

"We will put these hostages on the black market and sell them.

This is also a common rule that we pirates have been dealing with the government for so many years.

We will not harm these dignitaries, and after the abduction, we will give priority to sending these people to the black market for sale, and their relatives will buy them back.

That way, we get paid and these people don't do things badly, which is good for both parties. ”

Xia Lian bowed, "Don't provoke a really powerful enemy, smart approach, it seems that even pirates have smart people." ”

After a pause, he sneered, "But, civilians have been forgotten in your conventions, right?

As an official, it does not guarantee the safety of space routes, but reaches a consensus with pirates. ”

Locks smiled, "Is it so naïve to be the future master of a country?" ”

Natsu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and at the same time, he communicated with Alaya once more.

[Did you figure it out at the exchange shop?] 】

After a moment of silence, Alayya's voice continued.

[Almost, it doesn't require much energy.] 】

How much of the Fifth Element do I have that I can redeem now?] 】

[240,000 points.] 】

Xia Lian raised his eyebrows slightly unexpectedly, [So many? 】

[The play you staged at the Eternal Night Star before had a good effect, but judging by the population of the entire Eternal Night Star, this is only a small part of it.

Most of them are from the Eternal Night, and at the moment, the vast majority of people are not in awe of your beliefs. 】

Xia Lian's jaw head [If you perform such a manifestation again, maybe the effect will not be as good as the first time. 】

What can I exchange?] Xia Lian asked.

[It depends on what you want to change, the history of human fantasy is also unusually large. 】

Xia Lian thought for a moment, [I want to change something that can allow me to quickly communicate with Helios without being detected by the enemy. 】

[This is not easy to find, after all, Acebo communication is already very advanced..... How about Tomoko in the Three-Body Problem? It's not enough that you have the fifth element now. 】

[Tomoko's words should work well, a fantasy technology that doesn't belong to this world, but it's too slow, there is no speed of light, and it won't take several years to launch a Tomoko from here to Helios? Xia Lian said.

After a pause, Xia Lian continued to ask: [Can you rub a wormhole for me?] 】

[The wormhole that was vacated by the fifth element disappeared in the blink of an eye. 】

[Just kidding, the wormhole of the teleportation spaceship can't be revealed, so can the teleporter be able to?] Xia Lian continued to ask.

What do you mean? 】

[A portal in uninhabited deep space.] Xia Lian's eyes flashed with a faint light, [Even if it is separated by tens of thousands of light years, it is only a few tens of seconds of teleportation. 】

[Yes, 200,000 points can be exchanged for one.] 】

[Is it so cheap?] Xia Lian was a little surprised.

[In essence, there are not many materials needed to manifest this door, and the value is mainly judged by internal technology.

Portals in uninhabited deep space do not use instantaneous teleportation technology, but still warp speed, that is, a circle of warp bubbles around humans, and then use the distortion of space to move faster than the speed of light.

If you were redeeming this 10,000 years ago, then you might need millions or even tens of millions of Fifth Elements, but you're in an era that is 10,000 years away.

This technology already existed in this era, but it was generally used in spaceships, and it was never used on people due to safety concerns. 】

[Is it reliable?] Xia Lian asked.

[As long as you provide enough of the fifth element, the items that manifest will generally conform to human fantasies.]

Reliable in the game, and reliable in reality.

The fifth element will "rationalize" what you are embodying.

The technology of this portal should be about fifty years ahead of this era, and 192,000 points out of 200,000 points are used to rationalize this technology. 】

Xia Lian thought for a moment and said, "If I directly materialize this technique, will it only take 192,000 points? 】

[Almost.] 】

[What if you make a second one?] 】

[Then it only needs 8,000 points, because the technology has been rationalized, it is not a large object, and the fifth element consumed for embodiment will naturally not be too much.] 】

Xia Lian bowed his head, looked at Locks again with a little thoughtfulness in his eyes, paused, and continued to ask.

"You robbed that cruise ship, and the people of the New Federation will soon find out, and excluding the fleet from coming to support and search, you are so confident that you think you have safely escaped the encirclement and headed for the black market?"

Locks sneered, "My ship is the patrol boat of the New Federation, and the skeleton flag on the surface is a controllable stealth paint, as long as the skeleton flag is closed, we are the regular army of the new Federation!" ”

Xia Lian looked at Locks quietly, and suddenly, he said with a smile.

"Do you want to live? Or do you want to continue to be a pirate? ”

The white light in Locks' eyes gradually disappeared, and he raised his head and looked at Xia Lian with some confusion.
