The edge of the solar system, the base of the starship.

Ou Zhanpeng said goodbye to Xu Qing, walked into the portal, and instantly appeared in the main control cabin of the Xingzhou.

"Ready to go!" Ou Zhanpeng gave the supreme order, waved his hands continuously, and the battleship slowly left the base.

Gong Yiding's voice came from the communication: "The base is working well, and the Star Boat can depart!"

"Star Boat received!" Ou Zhanpeng agreed, turned on the jumping system, and entered the destination coordinates.

The power of the reactor was instantly full, but the next situation surprised everyone - the wormhole refused to appear for a long time, which was completely different from the previous instantaneous completion.

Ou Zhanpeng was not surprised, in the past, he was only active in the solar system, and it was normal to be fast, but now he is traveling 45 light years away, and it is not surprising that the speed is slower.

But this wait is only a small half a day, during this time, the power of the reactor has not been reduced, and the tsunami-like energy continues to pour into the jumping system, but even the shadow of the wormhole cannot be seen.

Gong Yiding thought that something had happened to the Xingzhou, and kept sending messages to ask what happened, but after knowing the reason, he felt that he had gained a lot.

After a full seven hours, the pitch-black wormhole finally opened in front of the battleship, and Ou Zhanpeng didn't even have time to say hello, so he couldn't wait to drive the battleship into the wormhole.

The moment he entered the wormhole, Ou Zhanpeng's mood was extremely apprehensive, that is, he was worried about the fate of the earth, and he also had expectations for the unknown world, but more importantly, he was still a fledgling cautious.

The process of passing through the wormhole is like diving underwater and then resurfacing, and the spirit is only in a momentary trance, and the Star Boat has appeared on the periphery of a strange galaxy.

It's so easy to come over?

Ou Zhanpeng was a little stunned, and even couldn't believe it, it seems that the brain fish is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and the coordinates of the explanation are much more accurate than imagined!

However, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, all of a sudden all the projections turned flashing red, and the detection system automatically projected the scene near the battleship, and everyone saw that there were two more spaceships outside the ship, and they were all models that they had never seen before.

Ling Xiao subconsciously swallowed his saliva: "Ou Fei, what's the situation?"

Ou Zhanpeng said in his heart, you ask me, who do I ask? But in front of so many people, you can't start the mutual scare mode with Ling Xiao.

He shook his head, "Everyone, get ready for battle!"

Everyone was nervous, but fortunately, the two ships did not show hostility and flew away on their own.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ou Zhanpeng didn't think it was right, and when he zoomed in to show more details, he suddenly pointed to one of the spaceships and said, "Look here, do you find anything abnormal?"

Ling Xiao immediately pointed to the top of the bow and said, "This turret seems to be rear-mounted?"

The ship's spine was equipped with three turrets, two of which were wedge-shaped and rough in style, but the middle one was round-headed and round-headed, delicate and delicate, like a porcelain cup and two clay bowls placed together, and the style did not match at all.

"Star thief?" Ou and Ling glanced at each other and spoke in unison.

Only a star pirate would stitch together parts from different sources to create this weird spaceship.

Looking at the other one, the DIY traces are equally obvious. ….

What surprised everyone even more was that with the continuous expansion of the detection range, the Xingzhou discovered more spacecraft, which were long, short, round, flat, and had any shape.

The largest spacecraft is more than ten kilometers long, no less than five kilometers in diameter, round like an oversized mushroom, no smaller than the Xingzhou base; The smallest is still less than a kilometer, jumping left and right in the void like a *** mouse, incredibly flexible.

But no matter how big or small, all the aircraft are this kind of refugee-style DIY mix-and-match style, and you can't even find a fully painted spaceship, which can be seen everywhere, and colorful graffiti is the mainstream.

That weird color combination reveals a smell of broken jars, which seems to be an invisible declaration: I planted this tree, I opened this road, Lao Tzu will rob money but not color, and if you don't want to die, you will be obedient!

Ou Zhanpeng is a whole person

Oh no: "What the hell is this Radiant Star Country? This is a den of robbers, isn't it?"

Needless to estimate, the Star Boat must be the only battleship with regular livery, and it simply stands out from the crowd?

It's nothing in normal times, but at this time and place, it makes Captain Ou Da feel like he is on his back.

Won't be targeted by the Star Thieves collectively, right?

Ling Xiao smacked his lips: "There must be a problem with the coordinates given to us by the brain fish, whether this place is still the second place of the Radiant Star Country, the key is whether the place we came to is right?" Is it 45 light-years away from Earth?

When everyone heard this, their brains were all buzzing.

Ou Zhanpeng is no better, if he runs hundreds of light years away in one go...... It's nothing to run a little more wrong, but if you delay the plan to deter 4 meters, the consequences are hard to say!

"I just walked according to the coordinates." Ou Zhanpeng said.

Everyone was overwhelmed, and Ling Xiao almost turned his back on it: "Big brother, you have to at least check the coordinates, right?"

Ou Zhanpeng directly reported a string of numbers: "You check, you can check it casually!"

Ling Xiao was speechless for a moment, and the ghost knew what kind of place this was.

Several people were tangled together, and the battleship suddenly received a communication request from outside, and several people came together, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ou Zhanpeng.

"Can't answer?" Ling Xiao asked.

Ou Zhanpeng hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "All refuse!"

Is it reasonable for a newcomer to an unfamiliar place to come out and a bunch of people take the initiative to contact you for no reason?

As the saying goes, the courtesy will save people, the small hotel next to the train station, not to mention the robbery of the law, if you don't want to add a fairy jump in the middle of the night.

The five-star hotel across the street is different, even if it is about to close down if it is not well managed, it will not make the two aunts poke at the door every day and pull people in with their throats.

These communications must have struck up out of nowhere, and there must have been some kind of scheme.

Reject all communications in one go, and the world is finally clear.

But at this moment, a blue brilliance flashed on the left side of the Star Boat, and as the brilliance dissipated, a slender spaceship appeared without warning.

Then on the right side of the battleship, a spaceship turned from virtual to real, appearing without warning.

Farther away, wormholes kept opening and closing, spitting out spaceships of different lengths and shapes. ….

Ling Xiao suddenly shouted excitedly, "Look here!"

In the projection, two black ships rushed out of the wormhole and flew into the galaxy unhurriedly.

Before the words fell, two more white ships appeared nearby, and the pure white hull finally squeezed the Xingzhou down, and it was no longer the most eye-catching cub on the field.

It's obviously a sworn enemy, but the black ship and the white ship can't see any abnormalities between each other, and they are safe with each other.

Ou Zhanpeng's mind was even more confused: What is the situation? Could it be a battleship stolen by the star thieves?

After a cursory sweep, there were probably hundreds of spaceships appearing in this galaxy, and the Star Boat was stunned by this result from top to bottom.

A question gradually surfaced in everyone's minds: how powerful are the star thieves who can gather hundreds of spaceships casually?

"Are we in the wrong place?" Ling Xiao asked worriedly.

"It's all here, it's too late to leave now." Ou Zhanpeng's face sank like water, "Our identities should not be exposed, if we come, we will be safe, let's see what is going on first!"

"Good!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Everyone is a veteran who has been on the battlefield, and they will do it if they are not satisfied with life and death, what is this little scene? It's amazing to give up your life and fight to the death with the star thieves!

Those starships of unknown origin all went to the galaxy after leaving the speed of light, and Ou Zhanpeng learned and drove the Xingzhou into the galaxy.

The battleship suddenly received a message in lingua franca, and several heads, including Ou Zhanpeng, got together, combined with the suggestions given by the translation equipment, and the final translation result was that the bidding was about to begin.

Several people looked at each other, and Ling Xiao touched the back of his head

"Bidding? It's an auction, right?" The words are different, but in terms of meaning, they should be translated as such.

Probably knowing that the lingua franca does not translate into words, the organizers did not ramble nonsense, but announced that the bidding would start immediately, and the spacecraft present received a message at the same time, and a slowly rotating planet appeared in the center of the general control module.

"The first competitor is the third planet of this galaxy, a second-class habitable star, with a moderate distance, an appropriate environment, and easy to modify......

Looking at the withered yellow planet dotted with a little tender green space, Ou Zhanpeng suddenly realized that it is not that the more livable the environment, the more popular it is, the planet is similar to industrial raw materials in some aspects.

Venus, a planet with a harsh natural environment to the extreme, is like an ore that can be exploited, but it is very difficult.

Mars, a planet that is much stronger than Venus, is like a rough mine, and it is basically useless.

The planet that is being auctioned is different, it is equivalent to refined pure ore, which can be used with simple processing, and belongs to the most expensive type.

The earth is a finished product that has been processed a long time ago, and it must be re-smelted at a great cost in order to make the earth what the aliens want, but it is not as cost-effective as the planet in front of you!

Of course, this is purely judged from the level of the environment, and if other conditions are taken into account, this little wrecking ball cannot be compared with the earth.

After praising the planet, the voice finally announced that the bidding had begun.

Before the words fell, someone had already made a bid: 100X gold! ….

A group of people stared, and Ling Xiao's cheeks twitched: "What is this X?"

"It's supposed to be a relatively large unit of mass, similar to a ton." "We don't know exactly what this unit is, so we can only replace it with X."

Although he has not systematically learned the lingua franca, translating this thing requires not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also a flexible brain.

Ling Xiao suddenly calculated, and vigorously calculated how many tons one X was equal to.

As he spoke, the bid had already been rolled several times, and in the blink of an eye, it exceeded 1,000X.

"Isn't the translation correct? How do you bid with gold?" Li Keke asked puzzled.

"Of course it's true, gold is not only a good thing on Earth, but a hard currency in the entire universe." Ou Zhanpeng said with a smile, "Rare things are expensive, and the abundance of gold in the universe is very low, and the reserves are very small, which is a very suitable interstellar currency."

"Wouldn't it?" Li Keke didn't believe it at all, "Aren't gems worth more than gold?"

Ling Xiao really couldn't stand it anymore: "Eldest sister, can you use your brain, low-mass stars die, fusion to the limit of iron, what is gold, it is a rare metal that can only be made by massive supernovae and black holes!"

"To put it simply, the matter before iron can be regarded as light elements, and the whole universe is everywhere and is not worth anything at all. Take gems as an example, there are many gems in the earth's crust, and if you destroy a planet, you can harvest a large number of gems. Heavy elements after iron are relatively rare, and the price is naturally higher, and the rare elements are even higher."

Li Keke's eyes widened: "Can you still do this?"

Ou Zhanpeng smiled: "Those elements that are rarer than gold must be more expensive!"

Ling Xiao suddenly said, "I feel that we can make a windfall by selling resources!"

There are two 3D printers on board, and the supporting metal and non-metal powders are filled with several cabins, including rare metals that are rarer than gold.

In addition to the common natural elements, there are dozens of radioisotope batteries on the Star Boat, which is commonly known as plutonium batteries, which do not exist in nature at all, and can only be made by reactors, and one gram is worth more than 20,000.

Of course, this is only the value of the plutonium element itself, and if you really want to sell it, it's hard to say whether the star thief recognizes it or not.

Li Keke rolled his eyes: "Did you lose your money?"

"Don't intervene, go to the side of the girl's house!" Ling Xiao's head twisted, leaving Li Keke with the back of his head, "Ou Fei, look, these star thieves are connected

The planets are all sold, can we think of a way to get a batch of jumping equipment from them?"

When Li Keke heard this, he immediately fell silent.

Ou Zhanpeng thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully: "You can try!"

As he spoke, the quotation had broken through the 3000X mark, and the speed of the quotation was not as fast as before, but it was still rising steadily.

After all, it's a planet, and it's only a few thousand X of gold, which is too low, hundreds of thousands is about the same!

He was really right, probably because the amount of gold was insufficient, and gradually there was a combination of gold and other metals, and at this point, every quotation was very cautious, even a little bit higher.

In the end, the total amount of gold did not exceed 4000X.

Li Keke couldn't believe that this was true, no matter what the unit X was, such a big planet was only 4,000 units of gold, which was too cheap, right?

You know, the entire earth has 4.8 billion tons of gold reserves, how many planets can be bought with so much gold?

If you let these star thieves know, won't your eyes be red immediately?

Leaving aside the unmined ones for the time being, just counting the gold reserves of various countries, it shouldn't be a problem to buy a few fully staffed Starfleets, right?

This is only gold, not other precious metals, after all, there are many heavy elements contained in the earth.

Li Keke suddenly felt that the earthlings were beggars living on a pile of treasures, and they didn't know that they had treasure mountains!.

Cracks in the metal
