The inspection process proved that this starship is still very respectable.
But everyone knows that this kind of face won't last long.
When Xingbang Cargo cannot contact the starship, it will realize that something is wrong.
So the starship rushed on its way, and two days later, it arrived at a suitable location for the jump.
Qu Jianlei released Ship 1314, everyone moved aboard, then grabbed the supply ship and started the first jump in the Federation.
The target of the jump is the Golden Sun Star Territory, which is a relatively prosperous place in the Federation.
The entire transition process lasted two and a half days.
After completing the jump, Qu Jianlei put away the 1314 ship again, and everyone transferred to the supply ship again.
Next, he plans to find a habitable star to land on as soon as possible, and then blend into the Federation.
The closest planet to them at this time is Cod Star. If they travel normally, it will take four days to travel.
Ordinarily, they could jump to a closer place, but after all, they were new here, so it was better to be cautious.
This plan was relatively conservative, but during the journey, something unexpected happened.
Most of a day later, they encountered an armed merchant ship.
Because the one we were traveling on was a military-type supply ship, we did not avoid the other party.
Unexpectedly, the armed merchant ship asked instead: "Xingbang Cargo's starship... what are you doing here?"
Just asking this question, he knew that the other party was not very friendly, so Qu Jianlei issued an attack order without saying a word.
Seeing the supply ship open fire directly, the armed merchant ship was stunned, "Are you crazy? We have a self-defense force!"
This is another new term, there is no such title in the empire.
But it doesn't matter, the fight has already started, just kill the opponent.
However, the armed merchant ship was not ambiguous either. The protective shield was already strong, so a small ship was released to fight.
I don’t know the origin of this self-defense force. Anyway, if they dare to openly attack the supply ship, they must have some confidence.
However, they were unlucky when they encountered Qu Jianlei's team. Soon, the small ships and armed merchant ships lost control.
Under Qu Jianlei's instructions, Xiaohu directly opened the hatches of the opponent's two starships. His main purpose was to take the ships but not the people.
Without his instructions, Big-headed Butterfly really wouldn't be able to do this. This is an obvious act of murder.
However, the opponent does not lack experience in interstellar survival. Some people have already entered the escape cabin, and another person has put on a mecha.
There were a total of twelve people on the armed merchant ship, four of whom survived.
The most critical thing is that the other party did not understand why the supply ship took the initiative to open fire. No one thought of destroying the interior of the starship.
So the team got two more starships, one big and one small.
The four who were lucky enough to survive were captured and handed over to the Fourth Master and Xiao Moshan for interrogation.
After the interrogation, it goes without saying that no prisoners were taken.
It is worth mentioning that this self-defense force is really interesting, as it belongs to each star region's own armed force.
Say it is a militia organization? Not quite, because their equipment is only slightly worse than that of the regular army.
Ultimately, the federation's Guojia system is different, and each star region has considerable autonomy.
Now the Federation is confronting the Empire and has mobilized a large number of regular troops.
As the second echelon of military forces, the Self-Defense Forces in each star region began to play a role in their own territory.
This armed merchant ship does not belong to the regular Self-Defense Forces - most of the Self-Defense Forces use standard weapons and equipment.
But they have a good cooperative relationship with the Self-Defense Forces, so they don't feel stage fright when they see the supply ship.
Moreover, this supply ship was painted with the name Xingbang Cargo, so it was not considered a regular military vessel, so they asked about its origin.
Unexpectedly, he directly ruined his own life and starship.
"This federal system is quite interesting," Dogan couldn't help but comment.
Mrs. Jia nodded, "We need to understand more before we can take the next step."
Qu Jianlei and Xiao Hu carefully inspected the two captured starships and found that there was almost no damage and the performance was very good.
This was considered a backup method, so everyone continued to the Cod Star without hesitation.
In the next three days, they encountered another interrogation, again by an armed merchant ship.
But this time, they didn't use force anymore, they just expressed that they had procurement matters arranged by the military.
After raising the banner of the military, the other party did not bother them anymore, but they did not forget to tell them that they must abide by the rules of the Jinyang Star Territory.
Compared with the Empire, in the Federation system, the military is not so awesome, and most starships are not very convinced.
So the last starship was destroyed because it was really just bad luck.
After the supply ship arrived at Cod Star, there were also city guard starships to inspect it - in the Federation, this is the third echelon of armed forces.
The city guards even boarded the starship for inspection, but their attitude was pretty good.
When the city guard was inspecting, he did not forget to explain.
"The situation has been a bit tense recently. Everyone is subject to interrogation, not just you."
The number of people and identities of Qu Jianlei's team are completely different from those of a starship.
But he used the method of mental influence to easily pass the test, which needless to say.
The supply ship did not have a pass to the Golden Sun Star Territory, but the Federation did not seem to attach much importance to this, and the landing application was quickly approved.
After landing, not only did everyone move all the cargo, Xiaohu also restored the starship's previous settings and erased all traces of himself.
The moment we stepped off the starship, everyone had nothing to do with the supply ship.
In fact, it took five days for Xingbang Cargo to notice the missing starship.
By the time they discovered that the supply ship had strangely gone to Cod, it was too late to investigate the relevant situation.
When Qu Jianlei and his party walked out of the star port, the first problem they faced was still the different styles of clothing.
However, Cod Star is a little more tolerant of this. Some people cast strange eyes on it, but that's all.
As soon as we walked out of the star port, people came over to solicit customers. It seemed that different social systems still had many things in common.
Hua Scorpion simply rejected the other party for a simple reason: "No money!"
When the person soliciting the customer heard this, he understood that the customer was not his cup of tea - how could such a large group of people have no money?
But in fact, Qu Jianlei and the others really have no money, and the empire's bearer banknotes cannot be used here.
Even the few silver coins on hand were cast by the empire.
So Qu Jianlei's first goal is to make money.
There were nineteen people in their group, and they were quite eye-catching when they were together, so they were divided into five groups, and the front and back were not far apart.
As everyone walked and looked around, they found that not only were the starships and the empire different, but many items were also different.
For example, cars, tents, etc., all have different styles.
They couldn't even find a cleaner place to set up tents and rest.
The off-road vehicles or motorcycles in the storage talisman cannot be taken out for use, and can only be wandered on two legs.
There are even some differences in the composition of the oils. The only thing that can be used universally is probably the energy block.
However, the size of the energy block is too large, and federal control is very strict, making it impossible to trade in large quantities.
The group wandered around for four or five hours. It was almost dark, and Qu Jianlei finally found a jewelry store that was not too big.
He winked, and the others dispersed upon seeing this.
Qu Jianlei walked to a place where the surveillance cameras could not see him, took out a satchel and slung it over his shoulder.
Then he and Nutrient entered the store, which contained various jewelry and precious metal ornaments.
Nutrients already knew what he was going to do and directly picked out the jewelry.
Their clothes were a little weird, but the store clerk didn't care.
Especially when they saw the little man choosing jewelry, he only picked what pleased his eyes without asking about the price, so their attitude became even more enthusiastic.
It took almost ten minutes for Nutrient to select jewelry worth more than half a million yuan.
The currency unit is federal currency. Qu Jianlei secretly converted it with the empire's banknotes, and found that they were pretty much the same.
Nutrients looked at him and said confidently, "Boss, pay."
Qu Jianlei raised his hand and looked at it, and was immediately stunned, "I'm stupid, where is my watch?"
He is actually not good at acting, but he can still manage to show a surprised expression.
"Huh? It's gone as expected," the nutritional supplement was also stunned for a moment before speaking thoughtfully.
"That guy just now seemed a little unreasonable... Let's go back and report the loss."
"What are you looking back on?" Qu Jianlei shook his wrist, "I lost my watch, so I can't do anything."
In a society with this level of technology, losing a watch is definitely more painful than losing a mobile phone in China.
He didn't show any anxious expression, he just kept a calm expression.
"That's how much it is. If you don't have the payment password, you can't lose your money," Nutrient said plausibly.
"Help me settle the bill first, and I'll accompany you to report the loss."
Qu Jianlei's eyes widened when he heard this, "I lost my watch, what should I pay for? You can pay it yourself."
Nutrients took a look at the watch on his hand - it was ripped off from a dead ghost, and then shook his head in distress.
"I don't have enough money in my account. Boss, you don't have a card or something?"
After hearing their conversation, the enthusiasm on the clerk's face visibly dropped.
In addition to paying with watches, federal coins also have some equivalent cards or bank cards.
This is for convenience when there is no network. Although it is not too common, it is true.
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Then don't buy it. Those hard currencies are for my interstellar exploration."
"Boss~" Nutritional Agent said in a long voice, "I have already promised, isn't this making people laugh?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, then looked at the clerk, "Do you want to take the gold?"
"Gold..." The clerk was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I can accept it. Do you have proof?"
"No," Qu Jianlei shook his head, turned around and walked out.
"Wait a minute," Nutraceutical grabbed him, and then looked at the store clerk, "You can't accept it without a certificate?"
Logically speaking, you can accept it without proof.
Although gold is also a controlled product in the Federation, in the Age of Discovery, there were too many ways to obtain gold, and it was impossible to control it.
