Qu Jianlei plundered a lot of supplies from the vault, but he ran away first and then interrogated people, so he never had time to count them.
The inventory results prove that if you want to support the daily life and expenses of a team of 80,000 people, you must have strong reserves.
Especially the nature of this team is that of star thieves. Once the limelight is tight and they have to survive in hiding for a period of time, they need more reserves.
There are basically no silver notes in the Star Thief's vault, but there are quite a lot of silver coins, packed in boxes one after another, which takes up a lot of space.
But this is the characteristic of underground transactions. Transfers are not safe and cash is king.
The silver dollars alone amounted to more than one million yuan, and in addition, there were more than ten tons of gold.
These two items alone are basically worth nearly 20 million.
There are also many other good things, including nearly a hundred A-grade crystals and more than 300 B-grade crystals, which are worth another 20 million.
Then there are all kinds of gems and antiques, the value of which is immeasurable.
Basically, except for antiques, they are all hard currency and meet the needs of star thieves.
There are also some securities, equity documents and land deeds.
It is not convenient to monetize these things, but considering that the essence of a team is a dynamic social organization, it is understandable.
This kind of organization is definitely indispensable for extortion and bribery. It is not surprising to have such valuable things.
But Qu Jianlei was a little depressed. Apart from gold, silver, gems and crystals, it was more difficult to sell other things.
If it was a year ago, and he had used the identity of Ran Bingluan, selling it would not have been a big problem, at most it would have been a little more cumbersome.
But now, he might still be stared at by the Supreme Being, so he might as well avoid those bigger actions.
"It's worth tens of millions at least!" Qu Jianlei was so angry that his teeth were itching, "Department of Foreign Affairs, I'm not done with you!"
In addition, it is a pity that there are no energy blocks in the vault!
Just looking at the size of the Star Thief's lair, the energy block reserves are definitely not small, and they should be stored in other warehouses.
It's a pity that Qu Jianlei didn't have much time at that time to look up to the sky and sigh - with two battleships, I was also very short of energy blocks.
But then, an unexpected surprise appeared.
In the storage talisman that Tie Ling carried with him, there were actually a large number of banknotes and cards of different denominations.
And they are all anonymous and can be used casually - this is also in line with the characteristics of Star Thieves.
Qu Jianlei counted roughly and found that there were more than two hundred million.
He was a little shocked for a moment. These funds were equally divided among 80,000 people, with an average of about three to four thousand yuan per person.
Do you want to be a star thief to get money? Wrong... Why do you want to be a star thief when you have so much money?
Little did he know that this was also his misunderstanding. These star thieves had just sold a stolen merchant ship.
Recently, the entire Skyhook star field has been strictly inspected for smuggling, and smuggling has also been investigated. Although other planets are not as strict as Skyhook, the material supply system of the star thieves has not been revealed in the first place.
Due to the gradual shortage of supplies, the star thieves had to go to other planets to rob - certainly not near the Sky Blade.
But for things like robbery, it's okay to do it once or twice occasionally, but you can't do it often, otherwise it will attract military encirclement and suppression.
Therefore, selling off the previous seizures is a last resort.
After counting the approximate number, Qu Jianlei was a little confused, but Xiaohu's voice had changed from soft and waxy to silvery.
"Haha, now we are so prosperous that we can buy large computers!"
"Don't be so excited," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but hit it, "These two battleships are also a waste of money."
"Just sell one," Xiaohu replied without hesitation, "I just advised you to take away two or three more warships."
It knew that Qu Jianlei also had a Whirlpool and two anti-smuggling terminals, so it wouldn't be a problem to drive away three more battleships.
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Two ships are just right. If there's more trouble, I'll be fine."
Now that you're older...I've told you to keep a low profile."
If you really want to take away five warships, not only will you alarm too many people, but the small lake will also be easily exposed. "You have to know how to restrain your greed."
Xiao Hu was still muttering in a low voice, "Sell two battleships, and the quality of the mainframe will also be improved a lot."
"First of all, I have to be able to sell it!" Qu Jianlei was almost amused by it.
"If I have this time, I might as well sell my house and land. At least it will be relatively safe... and focus on driving your starship."
Xiaohu was already driving the starship very attentively, but he still encountered two dangers.
There is no way, space is really empty, although asteroids carry many stars, but that is only relatively speaking.
Starships sailing in space are also capable of warning of abnormal objects - at least they need to ensure safe navigation, right?
Even if it is an ordinary commercial starship, it is very common to find such a warship hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
Qu Jianlei and Xiaohu turned off all the lights and almost all the power, making it almost a ghost ship.
But even so, it could not hide from the active detection of some starships. Two dangers occurred, one of which was an encounter with a fleet of seven ships.
There are five cargo merchant ships in the fleet and two escort armed merchant ships. However, the cargo merchant ships here also have considerable firepower.
Qu Jianlei and Xiao Hu were flying close to various stars, so upon seeing this, they quickly hid behind the stars.
However, the opposing fleet still captured the two ships, formed a fighting formation, and called to the other side.
Neither Qu Jianlei nor Xiao Hu answered. As a result, the fleet became more and more suspicious, thinking that the other party was planning to make a big move.
Not only did the two sides confront each other, the fleet even tried to approach the two warships.
Ten hours later, Qu Jianlei couldn't bear it anymore and finally spoke up.
"If you don't leave, then don't leave. Is this giving you face?"
The strange thing is that shortly after these words were spoken, the other party slowly retreated.
Qu Jianlei found out much later that according to the rules of interstellar navigation, the whereabouts of these two battleships were a bit too sneaky.
Flying close to the stars does not feel like a serious person on the road. No wonder the other party is nervous - what are you going to do?
Quite seriously, Qu Jianlei cursed out loud, but the person on the other side was a little relieved: You should have said it earlier if you had something to do.
It was impossible for the fleet to believe them because of this, but a response was better than no response, so they slowly retreated and eventually broke away from contact.
The two novice sailors didn't know these default rules, but since swearing could drive people away, they gained a lot of confidence.
The second danger was a very large cargo starship. The two sides were about 300,000 kilometers apart and both discovered each other.
Large cargo starships also have very powerful weapons, so they are not necessarily afraid of one on two.
Anyway, the two sides maintained a distance of 100,000 kilometers and just passed each other without paying any attention to the other.
In fact, the cargo starship turned on its light signal as a courtesy for an interstellar encounter.
But Qu Jianlei did not respond. Both warships were under blackout, so there was no need to make an exception for a greeting.
He didn't bother to think about what would happen to the other person - if you see me rushing around in the dark, just say hello.
According to the plan, it would take him about four and a half days to reach the target star, but because of the delay on the way, it took him five days.
If he flew straight, it wouldn't even take three days, but he couldn't be so reckless.
After finding the star, the two warships scanned for a while, and the armed merchant ship landed first.
The star has indeed been fully mined, and traces of mining can be seen everywhere, as well as abandoned mine carts and other objects.
After the armed merchant ship landed, it conducted a comprehensive scan of the star, finally selected a mine, and went in to investigate.
Throughout the entire process, the starship Qu Jianlei was riding in had been on alert in the air.
It was not until it was determined that there was no danger in the mine that the battleship landed and entered the mine.
Hole.
The mine is very wide, almost 600 meters wide at its widest point and 200 meters high.
Qu Jianlei was stunned when he saw it. How big of a mining machine must this be?
He first controlled the battleship and used thermal weapons to bombard the mine for a while - mainly to adjust the structure of the mine.
Then armed merchant ships are dispatched. This kind of merchant ship can do more. It has a very powerful and flexible mechanical arm.
These operations will consume energy blocks, but Qu Jianlei doesn't care. Compared with energy blocks, his inner breath is more precious.
One day later, the renovation of the mine was basically completed, and the excess garbage was removed. Qu Jianlei then got off the battleship.
When he came out this time, he was not wearing a spacesuit. With his supreme cultivation level, he could survive in space for a short period of time.
After stepping out of the starship, he shivered first, "It's so cool!"
He didn't continue to complain - mainly because he didn't have the time, so he raised his hand and quickly said goodbye.
Two stone walls rose from the ground one after another, sealing off a sealed space in the mine.
There is Qu Jianlei himself and two battleships in the space. It occupies a large area, but the mine has just been renovated and not much internal energy has been consumed.
Then he began to make further modifications to the sealed space, including but not limited to building insulation layers.
There was no other way. Although he could withstand the severe cold, the experience was extremely poor - the key was that it would also consume his inner breath.
In fact, the insulation layer is very easy to lay, which is a common requirement in space travel.
Use a spray gun to spray a certain liquid. After the liquid sticks to the solid, it will expand rapidly and form a very effective temperature insulation layer.
In addition, there are some other applications, such as filling air.
There is no shortage of compressed air on battleships, which can be compressed and stored as liquid or even solid. After all, it is used every time the vacuum door is opened and closed.
However, such a large space still consumes a lot of inventory.
In short, after one day, the mine was transformed into a livable space, including a vacuum door for entry and exit.
The price was that the energy block was consumed some more, and Qu Jianlei also consumed some of his internal energy.
At this time, you can't use stone milk to replenish your inner energy. It's too luxurious - just use A-grade crystals to survive.
Is it more cost-effective to use B-grade crystals? Come on, that’s not how it works out!
Because of the different degrees of scarcity, the profit margin for Grade A crystals on the black market is higher - much higher.
However, the crux of the problem is that Grade A crystals are not easy to sell, and the price is high, not to mention the demand, which easily attracts attention.
