Chapter 172: Goods

Li Pan opened his eyes, raised his eyes to look at the void above his head, and looked down at the ghost in front of him.

Reaching out and carrying the sword pill that had been extinguished, but still had residual warmth, back into his pocket.

It's back......

Well, I'll be back after asking clearly, Li Qingyun is really dying, brushing papers every day, Li Pan really would rather be chased and cut than take the exam!

But that's too mysterious, isn't it......

Is this anytime, anywhere, really crossing?

Or is it just a dream......

So who is dreaming......

Li Pan scratched his head, thought about it, couldn't figure it out, so he simply punched himself head-on, then vomited blood and pulled out a tooth.

Then he took his blood-stained teeth and began to write and draw on a handkerchief.

Draw a symbol.

Yes, although it is not worn, it is not penetrated, and it is not broken.

But the solution to this enchantment, in fact, Teacher Xian clearly told him about it.

This is the means of Da Luo Dao, as long as someone takes the guide, and with the guide, you can go straight to the land of vacuum.

And Lu leads him to have it!

Last time, when Li Qingyun responded to the thunder robbery, he got a reference talisman from Zheng Yan, a little fat man who picked up the stars, and exchanged it for a small return pill.

So Li Pan recalled, painted the talisman on the 'handkerchief', and then spread it on his face.

Silver key, launch!

Handkerchief Knight, transform!

Rumble!

Almost instantly, I could hear a rolling thunder from outside the silent void!

Here it comes!

Facing the gravitational pull above your head, the handkerchief knight. Li Pan jumped forward, and Mach 5 soared, rushing straight into the void.

The endless wind, the boundless nothingness, and the face was covered with a handkerchief, and it was hazy, and I only felt that many things that could not be seen clearly flew past my face.

In the void, Li Pan chased the thunder, galloping, and rushing wildly.

The thunder sounded for more than ten seconds, and then gradually stopped, Li Pan suddenly heard a sound of 'dang', and his feet were solid, and he suddenly jumped out of nothingness and fell to the ground.

Tearing off the bloody handkerchief on his face, Li Pan rubbed his eyes and found that he was still standing in the container.

However, this time, the size of the container looks similar to the previous observation from the outside of the cabin.

The cabinet was empty, except for a plastic sealed bag that had been simply vacuumed.

The sealed bag was opened, and a leather pouch was placed inside.

I opened the leather pocket, and there was nothing in it.

What!? How could there be nothing, oh......

Li Pan reacted.

So 35 million monsters are this 'leather pocket'......

Li Pan touched the 'leather pocket', picked it up and sniffed it.

The stinky should be leather, but the specific cowhide or pig skin can't be touched for a while.

Reaching in and digging it out, the leather pocket was less than half a small arm deep, and it couldn't even reach out to the elbow. There is also a leather rope of the same material at the mouth of the bag, which can be tightened and tied around the waist.

And then it's gone.

That's it...... So what the hell is this??

Alas...... Anyway, I got it.

Li Pan sighed and took out the silver key to open the door.

I hope this thing is really worth it for him to spend four silver keys to get it......

"What are you doing?"

"Holy! Where did you come from! ”

Wangshan and they were about to cut the container with a laser cutting machine, and they were startled by Li Pan, who came out of nowhere.

PONY RAN OVER WITH A CLUCK,

"Boss! Your signal has just disappeared on the ship for ten minutes! This is the universe! It's so unscientific! ”

It's only been 10 minutes......

Li Pan turned his head to look at the container and thought about it,

"Don't move this cabinet, I'm useful, call it a day, and go back to Hong Kong."

Since the boss ordered so, the veterans didn't care, and moved the cutter back again.

PONY.EIGHTEEN REMINDED, "BUT BOSS, THIS IS A MISSING MOB CONTAINER, RIGHT?" If you return to Hong Kong and are detected by customs, and there is a record of other companies reporting the crime, you will be fined and arrested. ”

By the way, this is also true, after all, it was originally the goods that the queen and they robbed from other companies, but anyway, the 'leather pockets' are in hand......

Li Pan, "Then throw the cabinet out." ”

A group of people stared at him with big eyes, and they came to lie down from afar, and stared at him with the eyes of a special play.

Li Pan, "The task is completed, the balance is settled, and the bonus of 100,000 yuan per person is awarded." ”

Crowd, "......"

Okay, since you pay, you can do whatever you want, anyway, rich people do what they want......

Wangshan suggested, "It's all out anyway, why don't you get ready and get ready to get that chainsaw?" ”

Li Pan thought about it, didn't the thief go empty, but the empty boat went back to attract attention.

"Is there a free port where you can rent the cargo space of the storage space?"

Wangshan directly suggested,

"Let's go to Ceres, there are a lot of idle PLANTS and PORTS in CERES, and it only costs hundreds of thousands to rent a ship, but now in this market, the warehouse may not be easy to rent."

PONY. XVIII, "CONTACTED, CERES-ORBITPLANT-VIII, there is a warehouse with three port berths for rent, which can accommodate up to two cruisers and one guard, but the minimum rent for one year, three months' deposit, and a fixed price of twenty million." ”

Li Pan clapped, "Buy." ”

So the crowd immediately went into action. STEER HAYABASA TOWARD CERES-ORBITPLANT-VIII.

The environment of the asteroid belt is complicated, and there is still customs on Ceres, of course, it is impossible to be arrogant enough to call Nana to lead the way, and a big jump jumps to the face of the customs.

Therefore, it is generally through the QVN, linked to the transportation system, with automatic navigation turned on, PPE turned on, and accelerated along the official established acceleration track.

ALTHOUGH IT IS A FEW HOURS SLOWER THAN DIRECT WARP, THIS HIGH-SPEED WATERWAY IS SAFE, AND CONSIDERING THAT THE PPE ACCELERATOR IS MUCH CHEAPER THAN WARPSOUP, IT IS ACTUALLY ACCEPTABLE TO GO SLOWER.

AS FOR CERES, IT IS A DWARF PLANET LOCATED BETWEEN THE ORBITS OF MARS AND JUPITER, AND THE MANTLE LAYER CONTAINS A LOT OF ICY AND WATERY MATERIAL. Due to the convenience of obtaining ice, it has also become one of several densely populated strongholds in the asteroid belt, and an important orbital factory space station gathering place.

In almost all Earths, Ceres is an important local cosmic industrial base, and there is also a permanent customs space station here, and the goods of the orbital factory can be directly transported to Jupiter Gate for export after direct local customs clearance, or shipped to Mars and Earth for sale.

However, it is worth noting that although the inhabitants of Ceres have lived in the universe for a long time, they cannot be called 'cosmic people' strictly speaking, of course, they are not 'earthlings', let alone 'sky people', but they are not up or down, sandwiched between various forces, and may be called 'space station people', but the most commonly used exclusive title is, miners.

Space Miner, Asteroid Miner, OP Miner.

Yes, living in the countless space stations in the asteroid belt, except for a very few labor dispatch company dogs, earthlings doing business, sky people from the customs administration, and cosmopolitan people who come from tourism.

The vast majority are miners in space factories.

The miners are descendants of early cosmic colonists, and most of them were later thrown into the space station as labor slaves after the Earth went bankrupt and signed a contract with the company in the name of 'cosmic development'.

Yes, today's science and technology can already achieve fully automated, fully intelligent, and fully mechanized production. But there are always some low-end industries, such as the primary industry such as interstellar mining, which are cost-oriented.

It's just a simple job of bombing, mining, washing and sending to the factory, and I really can't afford to buy those super noble drones and pay the high rent of the intelligent production system. Isn't it fragrant that an intelligent industrial system with a patent fee of 50 million yuan a month can also be realized for 5,000 yuan a month? So until now, those big mining companies are still using human resources.

And because they live in the company's space station, they use the company's property by using an elevator, fetching water, and having a hot meal, and the miners have to sign long-term employment contracts with the company almost from birth, so there are almost no unemployed.

Of course, most of the miners are actually labor dispatch contracts, not regular employees of the company, although there is no basic salary social security, but also to sign a contract, it is a debt to rent the company's mining equipment, the quantity and quality of the ore mined is not up to standard, and the money will be deducted, not to mention the medical insurance, you have to reverse the compensation to the company, although the air and water of the space station are discounted to the miners, but it also takes working hours to redeem.

But no matter what, it's a stable, hard-to-end job, isn't it?

When the economic environment is okay, the factories in the asteroid belt are running at full capacity for 365 days, and the miners have endless shifts, just bury themselves in mining, as long as they don't have bad luck, no, even if there is an accident and a broken arm and leg, just put on a prosthetic body and continue to work, in the end there is still a stable income.

So no matter how bad the salary, how bad the working environment is, and how crowded the space station is, the miners still endure it.

However, after the end of the war in 0791, the local production of Takamagahara was severely hit as the products from other worlds dumped from Jupiter Gate occupied the market and severely destroyed the local industry.

Not only did the factories on Earth close down, but CERES' orbital factories also lacked orders and became unsustainable.

In this case, the life of the space miner becomes very difficult, no, it is simply unbearable.

The prices of various ores have hit new lows, the prices of air, water and food are doubling, and the rent of mining equipment and the cost of oil are becoming more and more unaffordable. More and more miners are beginning to realize that they are living in a small hell.

But so what?

Due to living in the space environment for a long time, their physique has not adapted to the gravity environment, and the vast majority of them are in high debt, and they need to borrow from the company to buy oxygen, food and water while working, and they have no money to pay for the ticket to the earth and start over.

And because he signed a contract with the company early, he didn't have the opportunity to serve in a military academy, and he received outdated training on how to drive a ship and how to mine. It is not competitive in the labor market. There is less and less chance to escape the fate of this child and grandchild who has become a miner.

As a result, more and more miners began to become smugglers and pirates......

"Alert! Alert! Alert! ”

The red light turned on suddenly, if it weren't for the boots being sucked on the floor, Li Pan, who was squatting in the pit, almost hit the door head-on,

"What the hell is going on!"

"Boss! We were stopped by bubbles! ”

"Oh? Bubbles? Jump Blocker?? There are also roadblocks and robberies on the space highway! And there is no royal law! ”

The answer is that people are so poor that they break through the bottom line, so they don't care about your rules and laws.

Cosmic miners are not addicts in the night capital, they are just rocks every day, they have guns and ships in their hands, and they are born astronauts. Although theoretically not having the right to serve, it has always served as cannon fodder and support for the fleet as a mercenary servant army. It is also a favorite mercenary of the company's security fleet.

Of course, when it comes to bankruptcy, people will not be stupid to abide by the law and pay fines, scattering is a thief, gathering is a bandit, and highlighting a person who has money to make money and no money to do Nima.

Ahem, in short, there are three types of engines used today: Hyperdrive, PPE pulse, and SF synthetic fuel.

There are almost three types of equipment used to target jamming engines.

Prevent the fleet from jumping to the scramble field generator near the coordinates.

At a certain distance, a long-range jump blocker that directs the destruction of WARPCELL and interferes with the operation of the PPE engine.

There's also the lag winding traction beam that literally pulls your boat speed down.

The situation encountered this time is basically all three.

THE PIRATES HAD SET UP A DISRUPTIVE FIELD IN ADVANCE OF THE OFFICIAL ACCELERATION TRACK, WHILE THE SHIPS IN AMBUSH SWARMED OUT AND LOCKED ONTO HAYABUSA WITH JUMP BLOCKERS AND LINGERING TRACTION BEAMS. At the same time, all kinds of ECM, information interference, and energy loss debuffs come up.

At the same time, all kinds of machine mines, missiles, railguns, laser cannons, snap bang, biubiubiu have to be scared.

"Lao Tzu's boat!"

Li Pan hurriedly rushed into the cockpit,

"How's the battle damage?"

PONY LOOKED AT THE CONTROL PANEL AND COUNTED, "HMM...... Probably knocked out three bars of electricity. ”

Li Pan, "What is the three-grid electricity?" In game terms, what percentage of HP is dropped? ”

PONY, "Well, I'll see...... Oh well, the impact just now caused a burden on the shield battery that was higher than three percent of the deviation value, and now the host has been charged and replenished through intelligent adjustment and adaptive energy distribution. ”

Li Pan, "......"

Nana crawled out of the LCL bubble and wiped her face.

"Don't worry too much, HAYABUSA is the latest reconnaissance cruiser in Takamagahara, a standard fifth-tier warship, which can support seven mid-slot expansions, although we haven't bought offensive weapons and equipment, but the shield back shield capacitor expansion is stacked."

Li Pan, "......"

Wangshan saw that he didn't understand yet, "There is no blood, and it is all blocked by the shield." ”

Li Pan wiped a cold sweat, "Scare Lao Tzu, so what should I do now." ”

Nana shrugged and called up the scanned star map and optical simulation, "Alarm." ”

Li Pan was speechless at first glance, large and small escort-level boats, some of them are shuttles, and the landing module level has a total of seventy or eighty ships, which can be regarded as a 'full fleet'.

A swarm of flies buzzed around, crackling and banging with small ship-borne weapons and all sorts of obsolete homemade, repaired, second-hand equipment.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Judging from the surveillance, the pirates smashed the mess and hit the blue eggshell-like light curtain, and the laser rays seemed to hit the mirror, and the large angle was offset and refracted away.

The plasma ion cluster rippled on the light curtain, and the scattered ions spread out of the shield like fireworks, but did not cause any real impact.

The high-speed kinetic energy projectile was decelerated sharply, and finally when it hit the alloy deck, it could only hear a sound, and even the outermost layer of wear-resistant coating paint could not be removed.

As for the missile rocket or something, it is far away from more than ten kilometers, and it is aimed and locked by the activated PTP railgun, and the point-to-point rapid fire is broken into pieces.

So how to say it...... This pirate-level attack is almost equivalent to a mosquito bite. Probably the only damage done was contamination by the noise of the attack alarm.

Nana suggested,

"In accordance with the Cosmonautics Code, we marked the buoys, uploaded them to the traffic system and reported high pirate harassment, called for support from the customs fleet, and applied for insurance claims.

The jump blocker energy level and interference frequency band of these corsairs are insufficient to have a long-term impact on our PPE, and now the intelligent assistance has detected the model of the opponent's equipment.

I estimate that the capacitors of the opposing ship will continue to interfere for a maximum of three minutes, and after three minutes we will start the ECCM, accelerate with overload, and directly disengage from the range of the disturbed force field, and then start stealth, and we can get rid of them.

Of course, you can also fight back, and the radar scan found that these civilian ships are not equipped with a shield system, and if you overload the mining ray gun, you can directly blow them up. ”

The shield, well, the so-called shipborne shield system, also known as the energy deflection stand, is that layer of blue eggshell-like light curtain, through various magnetic energy and plasma wind distortion gravitational field, in the universe deflection of various cosmic rays, super radiation, plasma storm equipment.

Ships at the cruiser level have to sail to the Star Sea, cross the Star Gate, sail in the border galaxy, and deal with all kinds of extremely harsh cosmic environments, so they naturally need a special defense system.

What's more, military technology must be able to resist direct fire from shipborne energy main guns of at least the same level. If this place can be broken by pirates, it would be unscientific.

Li Pan couldn't understand for a while, "They didn't even put on a shield and came out to rob?" ”

Wangshan rolled his eyes,

"Do you think that the shield system is very expensive, the star maps in the solar system have been discovered, and there is no need to install it if there is no need for deep space voyages, and how do you match this ship, what is fully suitable for targeted expansion, and the backlash increase is too ridiculous."

Li Pan, "Oh...... How much did we spend on this set? ”

Nana, "Isn't this the contact information you gave, find that TSC Ms. Lin to make it for us, say that it is an apology to you, and the whole preferential package, half sold and half given away, calculate it a little more than 80 million." ”

Li Pan, "I'm ...... Alas...... Okay......"

Yes, although it has zero attack, at least the stealth and defense are full.

If you look at the flies around you, they probably know something is wrong.

After all, usually high-speed automatic navigation, are some whale-like unmanned automatic cargo ships, in the past, these ships may be carrying some bulk goods, ore materials, not worth the risk.

But recently, the market has a high probability of getting some high-end goods, and this time it attracts a large group of them to take risks.

But who knew that a fighting falcon jumped in, or a military cruiser, and the net could not be caught or locked, so those who had the sight to turn the bow of the ship and fled in all directions.

Li Pan looked at the way these people slowed down in embarrassment, turned around and ran away, and couldn't help but think of himself who had been exhausted in the past two days, but the bamboo basket was empty, and he was also very interested for a while, waving his hand,

"Call the police and go, Lao Tzu is tens of millions of minutes away, and there is no time to waste on fighting flies."

NANA ALSO NODDED, MANIPULATED HAYABUSA, ACCELERATED, AND WALKED AWAY.
