When the Liuma slowly descended along the platform in the chimney-shaped passage, Alex felt a little nervous. Whether Boss Ming and Mr. Jin's plan could succeed, and whether they could escape safely in the end, were all unknown.

But when the plan began to be implemented, his nervousness inexplicably disappeared and was completely replaced by concentration. Alex stood guard by the cargo bay door as usual, stepping on the pink snow on the ground with a bored and helpless expression.

These are produced by the freezing of disinfectant foam sprayed from the walls, which makes a crunching sound when crushed. The old man at the research station is still so slow, always making him wait for a long time. Walking on the snow is the only way to pass the time.

matter.

The door of the warehouse slowly opened, and the flatbed truck drove out. This time, two people sat on it. One of them was Meinel, whom he had met many times, and the other had half-bald gray hair and a wrinkled aquiline nose.

, first time meeting.

"Hello!" Alex waved his hand and said hello from a distance. "This is the last trip. All orders will be completed today. Come and inspect the goods so that I can move them as soon as possible.

On the truck."

The two autonomous beings had straight faces and said nothing. They parked the flatbed truck next to the Flowing Horse and walked out. They looked at Alex's starship with hooked noses and frowned, the expressions on their faces

He looked cold and even a little impatient. He said to Meinel: "What should you do? I'll talk to the captain."

When Alex heard this, he immediately came to the side of the aquiline nose without saying anything, raised his head and got close to this tall self-contained creature: "Nice to meet you. It's my first time meeting you. I don't know how I can help you."

of?"

"What warp speed can your starship reach?"

"Generally, I sail at warp speed 4, and the full load can be increased to a level close to warp speed 6. If it is overloaded, it can reach warp speed 7 within a few dozen seconds, but the loss of the engine is great, so it can only be used in emergencies.

use."

"A very average speed." He said with a hooked nose, "Take me to see your starship. If I am satisfied, I can give you a business."

"Welcome, welcome." Alex walked ahead and led him into the cargo hold. Just when the hooked nose wanted to ask questions about the environmental equipment here, Alex took off the intercom on the wall. "Xiaoxiao! There is potential.

When customers come on board to visit, come and receive them!"

"Why, captain, don't you want to accompany me?"

Alex shook his head: "Of course I do, but I am good at driving and maintaining the spacecraft, but I am clumsy in speaking. Xiaoxiao is the negotiator and tour guide on the ship, and she also knows the parameters of the starship very well. I

I won’t be idle, there are still things to do here such as inspection, loading and settlement, I will make the delivery with Myonel as soon as possible.”

"Meonel, hurry up there!" He yelled with a hooked nose. Judging from his proficiency in issuing orders, this guy should be Meinel's superior for a long time.

In less than a minute, Xiaoxiao ran down the stairs in a hurry and rushed to the cargo hold.

The hooked nose was startled: "A raccoon star? It's not wearing an environmental isolation suit? Is it ready to die?"

Alex also stared: "It's so cold outside, where is your spacesuit?"

"The genetic immune surgery has improved my physical fitness, and the current low temperature has little effect." Xiaoxiao observed the two self-contained living beings in the cargo hold. One was checking the cargo with a scanner, and the other was standing doing nothing. Then

It was the latter who needed to visit the starship. She stepped forward, stood on tiptoes, raised her head vigorously, and said, "Welcome to visit the Liuma, this is a very excellent and comfortable starship!"

"Tell me about the environmental system here..."

Hook-nosed and the little fox began to visit, and Alex believed in Xiaoxiao's eloquence. At the same time, Myonel was about to scan "that" cage. In order to reduce the possibility of mistakes, Alex joined in.

Go over and have a chat with him.

"Who is that person? He never said anything, and he looked very serious, so I didn't even dare to ask."

"Just ask, he will tell you." Myonel's eyes twitched slightly and he continued to fiddle with the scanner in his hand.

"Don't be so cold. I thought this was the last batch of orders, but I didn't expect that I might have a new job." Alex took two more steps and took out a bottle of Beolocin from the shelf next to him.

He handed the alcoholic drink to Myonel. It was a large bottle of five liters. The blood-red liquid inside was crystal clear and deep, and the slightly swaying look looked very attractive. "Can you tell me what kind of job it is?

, I’m so mentally prepared?”

"What else can it be besides transporting goods?" Meinel took the bottle, looked around, stuffed it directly under the body of the genetically modified pig and pressed it. As long as it stays below freezing, these chubby guys will remain stable.

If the bottle is moved, it will not crush the wine bottle. He then made a mark on the cage and quickly turned the scanner in his hand at a large angle. "Okay, the spot check is fine, you can start loading!"

A bottle of wine with 2 computing power coins was replaced by the words "delivering goods", which was a loss. However, Mionnel ended the scan, and the first difficulty faced by Boss Ming and Mr. Jin was successfully passed. The result was not bad.

Alex wanted to talk again, but Meinel didn't give him this chance. He raised his hand and pointed at the tractor beam controller. The meaning was self-evident. Seeing this, Alex just went along with the flow. He shrugged his shoulders and expressed

Although he was in a state of slight complaint that he could not achieve his goal, he secretly speeded up his actions and quickly moved the shelves onto the flatbed truck. The one where Mr. Jin and Boss Ming were hiding was naturally placed at the top, so that it would not affect their escape.

"Are you waiting for him here, or are you going to transport the things back now?" Alex said with a polite smile, and pulled out the computing card with a swish, which was obviously to pay. "Or, let's go and accompany him to visit together.

Starship?”

The last sentence obviously made Meinel feel uncomfortable, so he said: "Go on your own!" Then he entered the cab without looking back and started the freight truck. The twelve universal wheels rotated rapidly, stirring up excitement.

There were a lot of pink snowflakes, many of which even splashed on Alex's clothes. Then the truck spun away and left the platform as fast as possible.

Not bad, they have been sent in - Alex thought to himself. Hook Nose is still visiting, and they can discuss the new job later, and they can delay it for a while. Alex is confident that he will get the job

I am very confident, because almost all other civilization starships in the nearby airspace have chosen to evacuate, and most of Beolo's cargo starships have also gone out to avoid the wind, which makes the Liuma almost no competitor.

"Unless he is willing to find a military starship on Beolo to work on, this job is basically mine."

Just as he expected, after more than ten minutes, the hook-nosed ones who had finished their visit "basically approved" of the "Flow Horse" and felt that it "barely met their requirements." If Xiaoxiao hadn't secretly winked behind the hook-noses, it would still have been possible.

Make a victory gesture, and Alex will be 10% likely to believe his evaluation.

"We have an experimental box to be transported to the third brightest star in the constellation Capricornus. This is a very valuable research asset for us. There will be three self-made biological beings escorting and protecting it. We require that this must be a special transportation." Aquiline Nose

said.

Xiaoxiao then explained: "Specialized transportation means that only designated goods can be transported. No other goods and passengers are allowed to travel together, and no stops are allowed in the middle - unless it is to replenish fuel and food. Captain, Director Targus will send us

The entire starship has been packaged."

Hey, Xiaoxiao was able to figure out the name of this self-contained biological person so quickly without spending food or drink bribes. Sure enough, professional people are different.

"Where is the third brightest star in the constellation Capricornus? Can you let me check first?"

"Then hurry up." The hooked nose narrowed his eyes when he spoke to Alex, but when he turned to Xiaoxiao, a smile appeared and his voice became much kinder.

Alex quickly ran to the bridge. Amy, who had been listening to the sounds inside the ship, had already prepared the navigation star chart. "Crab is the star field marking method of the Beolo Stars. It is on the standard star chart.

It's in this location."

"This span is not small, almost a quarter of the Milky Way...if you fly there at warp speed 5."

"Don't think about it. It will take more than 150 years to fly to Warp 5. If we can still fly, we will almost die." Amy shook her head, then pointed her hand: "The only feasible way is to use a gravity slingshot to move most of the

The distance is covered directly. I made a rough calculation and found that six gravity slingshots are needed. In total, it will take about half a year."

"Half a year..." Alex was thinking about the clues about the Shanhe Sheji and about Wei Yinhe who had not yet boarded the ship, and he didn't want to go. Amy also saw what his brother was thinking, and he had an idea and said: "I

There is a way to reach your destination in two months."

"Tell me what you can do!"

Amy's slender fingers moved on the star map and came to the edge of the extinction realm. Here there is a gravitational slingshot managed by a composite evolved person. "Here, as long as you indicate your identity as a composite evolved person, you can use the gravitational slingshot directly to the destination.

When launching, there is no need to advance one by one, and there is no need to fly at warp speed after leaving the gravity slingshot."

Looking at the star map, Alex scratched his head. From the perspective of the position, the third brightest star in the constellation Capricornus was far away from the extinction point, and the direct connection between the two passed by the center of the Milky Way. But the gravitational slingshot did not care about "two points"

"The shortest line segment between them", the number of uses is the determining factor of travel time.

"Do you think the gravity slingshot from the Extinguishing Realm will give us this convenience?"

"I'm 90% sure." Amy said: "Even if it doesn't work, it will only be a waste of four queuing launches of the gravity slingshot, which is a big extra two weeks."

"Ninety percent... I'll give it a try." Alex had an idea in his mind and said to Amy: "You should inform Honglu now and ask her when Noonxi said she would come to Beolo Star to find her.

Come, I want the accurate time. You can let her use the communication channel of the computing power generator, and I will deduct the cost from her."

"Do you really know how to buckle?"

"I will, I will." Alex wiped his face and gathered himself. He wanted to work hard, not only to handle the business well, but also to cover Mr. Jin's actions.
