Chapter 29: The Treasure (Part II)

As soon as she entered the warehouse, Sophia looked around excitedly. By the light, you can see that the interior of the warehouse is divided into several separate warehouses, each with a door, and the doors are all closed. Seeing the closed door, Sophia couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, isn't it!

It's all here, there's no reason to enter Baoshan and return empty-handed, right? Sophia could only stubbornly step forward and walk to the nearest warehouse.

Coming to the door of the storeroom, Sophia looked up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there is no need for identity verification here, just pull the door and you can enter.

On the door of each storeroom there is a sign that clearly states what is stored in the storeroom. And on the sign in front of her, the word "ore" was written.

What kind of excellent ore could this be? What kind of excellent mine could it be? Sophia, filled with curiosity, opened the door of the storeroom and walked in.

As soon as she entered the storeroom, Sophia's eyes were almost blinded. Under the illumination of the light, the whole warehouse is dazzling and colorful. Where is this "ore", it is clearly a variety of gems that can make people crazy!

It was only with great difficulty that she was able to open her eyes, and Sophia was already fascinated by what she saw. It's so dazzling, I've never seen such a beautiful picture, and the colorful brilliance decorates the warehouse like a mythical world. Red, green, blue, yellow, purple...... Any color you can imagine can be found here.

Gemstones, large and small, of all shapes, are piled up throughout the storeroom. No woman here, could escape such temptation, not even a demon princess like Sophia, she had never seen such a number and variety of gems stacked together so randomly. Compared to this place, the treasure trove of the Demon Emperor's Palace is like a shabby beggar. Her feet were already moving forward uncontrollably, and her hands involuntarily reached out, touching what she saw.

In front of her was a basket full of rubies. That's right, the gems here are all held in baskets, and the boxy baskets are neatly stacked on rows of iron shelves, filled with all kinds of gemstones. Each basket was the same size, one meter long, eighty centimeters wide, and eighty centimeters high, and was placed next to each other on an iron frame. There are 30 rows of iron frames, each row is 20 meters long, divided into five floors, and the entire warehouse is full.

Sophia now had only a brilliant ruby in her eyes, the size of a goose's egg, unpolished, completely natural, and without a single blemish on its smooth surface. Its interior is pure without a trace of impurities, and not even the slightest bubble can be seen, and the color is brilliant and the shade is uniform. A layer of blood-red light constantly changes as the light shines, making it look dreamlike.

Holding the ruby in her hand, Sophia was reluctant to put it down, the light in her eyes was even stronger than the brilliance refracted by the gem, if she could have such a gem, for a woman, it must be the happiest thing in her life. This is not exempt from vulgarity even for the noble Princess Sophia.

Holding the ruby tightly, Sophia looked intoxicated. Yes, this treasure trove full of gems can now be said to belong to her, as long as she has this ability, she can take as many as she wants. But when she thought that she couldn't even take a piece of paper with her, Sophia's mood suddenly dropped, and she could only enjoy it here.

Reluctantly putting the ruby back in the basket, Sophia began to take a full look at the storeroom. It's impossible to count how many gems can hold in a basket. She could only estimate the approximate number based on the volume of the gemstones. The volume of each basket is zero point ** cubic meter, and there are three thousand baskets in total, which is a total of 1,920 cubic meters. The average diameter of each gemstone is about three centimeters, and if you calculate according to 50,000 gems per cubic meter, it is more than 96 million.

The largest of them are rubies, which have a thousand baskets. This is followed by sapphires, topazes, emeralds, and purple gemstones, with a total of 1,800 baskets. The rarest were black gemstones, pink gemstones, diamonds, and a gemstone that Sophia had never seen before, each in just fifty baskets.

Of course, the rarity mentioned here is also relative to the number of other gemstones, after all, there are more than two million in fifty baskets, which is not a few.

Not only are there a lot of gems here, but each one is very large. This made Sophia wonder, where did these gems come from? In the Demon God Empire, a ruby with a diameter of more than five centimeters is already a rare treasure, and there is only one in the crown of the Demon Emperor, and it has never appeared in other places, even if it is the Beast God Empire and the Dragon Empire, there are not too many gems of this volume, right? But here, just grab a handful and you can find one, could it be that most of the gems on the Earth Star are hidden here?

There are also many kinds of gemstones here, and I only roughly divided them according to the color, there are so many kinds, and if you carefully distinguish them, there are even more varieties.

Sophia tried it unwillingly, and sure enough, the gems here were the same as other things, and they couldn't be included in her spatial ring. With infinite regret, she left the warehouse full of precious stones. If she didn't leave, she was really afraid that she would get lost here.

The second storeroom has the words "Precious Metals" written on it. The door of the warehouse was opened, and the inside was shining with gold, and a gold ingot was neatly stacked. In addition to gold, there are also mythril, adamantite gold, dark iron, and some metals that Sophia can't name. All are cast to the same size, and are placed in codes.

Having experienced the shock of the "ore" storehouse, it is no longer a surprise to Sophia. After all, no matter how high the value of metals is, they can't compare with gemstones. Even if it is like the Demon God Empire, it is not difficult to take out a few hundred tons of pure gold.

Looking at them one by one, the next warehouse is full of all kinds of materials. Some are ordinary items, others are rarer, and almost everything Sophia knows can be found here. Gems and precious metals are stored so tightly that Sophia can understand. Things like ordinary wood, copper and iron were also placed here, and it made her feel like a bit of a waste. There's also a storeroom where you can even store seeds for all kinds of plants, from the seed of a small grass to the seeds of a towering tree.

The most strange thing for her is that there is a warehouse called "sperm bank", which is completely different from the others. Its door is completely sealed, and there is a line of small letters on the door: extremely low temperature, non-staff, it is strictly forbidden to open the door. There is also a small display in the upper left corner with several red numbers "-273.15°C".

This made Sophia curious, what is "sperm", it still needs to be stored in extremely low temperatures? "Extremely low temperature" she still understands, it must be very cold. Not even letting the door open is too exaggerated. And what does that number represent?

Unable to contain the curiosity in her heart, Sophia pulled the door open. As the door opened, a mechanical voice repeated: "Please make sure the equipment is working properly before entering." Close the outer door after entering, and open the inner door only after the green light is on. ”

Equipment? Do you need equipment to enter here? But where can Sophia find such equipment now? Relying on her own magic protection, Sophia thought to herself, isn't it just low temperature, and it can't freeze me to death.

Following the voice prompts, Sophia closed the outer door first and stood there waiting for the green light to come on. It is a small space with a door inside and outside, and above the inner door there are two lights, a red light and a green light. Now the red light is on, the green light is not on, and it is estimated that the inner door can be opened only when the green light is on. There is no handle on the inner door, just a green button where the hand can reach, and the word "open" is written on the button.

The three-minute time passed quickly, the red light went out and the green light came on. Then the voice sounded again: "After the inspection, the inner door is allowed to open, please confirm that the equipment is working properly and press the open button to enter." ”

Ignoring the sound of the machine, Sophia protected her body with her magic, flicked a button, and when the inner door opened a gap for her to pass through, she immediately slipped in. After she entered, the inner door was still slowly opening, and when it was fully opened, it was a moment before it closed automatically.

There wasn't much difference between the treasury and the outside, and without the cold Sophia had imagined, magic didn't come in handy at all. Isn't this "-273.15°C" very cold? Or can't the people who built it withstand such temperatures? No, the temperature here is no different from other warehouses and outdoors. If they can't withstand such temperatures, then this place is all extremely ultra-low for them, and what are they going to do with such a warehouse?

After thinking about it for a long time, Sophia couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only leave it for later to find out the answer slowly. Let's take a look at what's in there.

This place is really different from other warehouses, there are no iron shelves in it, and there are no piled up items, only rows of platforms more than one meter high, on which small square silver boxes are placed. On the lid of each box is a white label with small print written on it.

Sophia went to the nearest box and leaned down to read the words on the label. I saw that it read: 354 types of samples, animalia, chordates, mammals, rodents, rodents, rats, rats, rats.

Looking at this row of strange words, Sophia can be said to be a little confused, what does it mean?

She could understand the word, and she could recognize the word "rat". Could it be that this box has rats in it? Well, possibly, it's not a problem to put a few rats in this box. But what is the sample? Let's open it and see it.

Sophia lifted the lid and looked inside the box. Hey, there's no rat, just some clear crystal tubes in there. Sophia counted that in this small box, there were about a hundred of these crystal tubes, and the top of each crystal tube was plugged with a stopper.

Taking out a crystal tube, Sophia saw that there was also a label paper on it, which read: Class 354 No. 28. The crystal tube contained about a quarter of the stuff, milky white, and I couldn't tell what it was. Sophia took it in her hand and shook it, the contents did not shake, obviously not liquid.

What could this be? This is not what a mouse looks like, Sophia thought as she took out a few more crystal tubes. It was found that there was no difference except for the difference in the number of the label paper on it.

Putting the crystal tube back in the chest, Sophia went to the other chests, all with similar words written on the labels: ×× Realm, ×× Sect, ......×× Clan. Looking at the boxes one by one, Sophia deduced that it was mostly an animal, a lion, a tiger, an elephant, a horse, a rabbit, a cow, and so on.

Until there was a box that caught her attention again. This label reads: 3 types of samples, animalia, chordates, mammals, primates, simple noses, hominidae, and demons. (To be continued.) )
