Faced with the other party's question, Mrs. Jia hesitated and said, "There are energy blocks, but not many."
In fact, her answer was a bit redundant.
The next moment, a female voice exclaimed from the opposite side, "There is actually a factory here!"
There is no need to observe carefully. Once several factories are started, let alone energy fluctuations, the thermal energy effect cannot be blocked.
You only need a pair of night vision goggles to spot abnormalities in the stars.
"We are a business group affiliated with the Empire Expansion Fund," the other party said in a deep voice, "I hope you can cooperate with the rescue!"
Mrs. Jia coughed lightly and replied in a somewhat old voice, "Don't worry, we will definitely cooperate."
The starship got closer and closer, stopped more than ten kilometers from the ground, and released a small attack ship.
The position where it hovers is right in front of Settlement No. 2.
The reason is also very simple. Several working energy extractors are really eye-catching.
But at the same time, Qu Jianlei and others also saw clearly that the opponent's starship... was really terrible.
This is a large armed merchant ship. It is definitely a big one in the asteroid belt. It is obviously transporting bulk cargo.
At least seven or eight places on the starship were damaged, and even the airtight compartments were punctured, with obvious signs of temporary repairs.
Even the small attack ship had signs of being attacked on its hull, but it didn't appear to be seriously damaged.
The small ship landed on the ground, and another voice came from the channel, "Okay, come out."
Settlement No. 2 opened, and two people in spacesuits walked out, and one was wearing only a helmet.
The three people are Jia Shuiqing, Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi.
Then two more simple fortresses opened, and two spacesuits stepped out, namely Paranoid and Mu Yu.
Qinghu went into hiding, while Xiao Moshan was practicing in the main settlement.
In fact, once the opponent's merchant ship landed at this height, Qu Jianlei's side could already take advantage.
But everyone agreed that it was not necessary. No matter what the other party's true purpose was, no malicious intent had been shown so far.
Since it is possible to save people with good intentions, we should not let those with good intentions feel cold.
"Okay, stop!" the small ship issued the order again, and then asked, "Who was we talking to just now?"
Mrs. Jia raised a hand, "It's me!"
"You get on the ship alone!" The people on the small ship said, "And the shorter one... come aboard too!"
Hua Xiezi and Mu Yu are about the same height. They are both tall among women, but not as tall as men. The two looked at each other after hearing this.
"Not the one wearing the helmet!" the small ship said again, "The one wearing the spacesuit comes up!"
Anyone who has some knowledge about interstellar navigation knows that those who only wear helmets in space must be at least A-level.
So Mu Yu also walked over and boarded the small attack ship.
There were three crew members in the small ship, all holding swords and guns in their hands, looking at them with eager eyes, but the guns were not pointed at anyone.
After seeing them come in, the tallest person said, "Take off your helmet!"
After they took off their helmets, the other person was obviously surprised, "Why are they both women?"
The two Supreme Beings were not angry either. They both entered the starship and had plenty of opportunities to have a fit.
The tall man was an A-level Wood attribute. He asked aloud, "What trouble did your starship encounter?"
Mrs. Jia replied in a deep voice, "Non-specific space turbulence and time deviation."
"I don't understand," the tall man shook his head, then pointed not far away, "What is that device?"
"Energy block extractor," the old lady replied calmly, there was nothing she couldn't say.
"Energy block extractor?" The tall man's eyes lit up, "Is this what you guys carry with you?"
It is very common for starships of a scientific research nature to have storage talismans. Anyway, the opponent has at least an A level, which can be considered as a protective capability.
"If we want to bring one, we will bring a small one." Mrs. Jia felt that the other party was a little confused. "We made this ourselves."
When the tall man heard this, his eyes widened, "Can... you do this yourself?"
"Is it normal?" Mrs. Jia looked at him innocently, "Of course we must bring relevant professionals with us for the scientific examination."
"How is this normal?" The man shook his head disapprovingly, making equipment with his bare hands. Do you call this normal?
But before he could continue to speak, another voice sounded from the small ship, "Old Qi, are you finished? Business is more important!"
The man known as Lao Qi heard this and shook his head again, "How many energy blocks do you have now?"
"It's self-made... It costs just over 10 million yuan," Mrs. Jia replied thoughtfully, "Thanks to being self-made, otherwise..."
She behaves like an ordinary aunt next door, and she seems a bit talkative.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything," Lao Qiyi waved his hand, "We want to take away all the energy blocks. This is the reward you promised."
"Okay," the old lady nodded without hesitation. Since she made a promise, of course she must fulfill it.
She agreed readily, and the other party's conditions were neat, "Also, we will also bring the starship with the energy stones you mined."
Mrs. Jia continued to nod, "Yes, but...does your starship have an energy block extractor?"
It is really not difficult to make an energy block extractor. If it is a little more sophisticated, it can definitely be placed in a corner of the starship.
However, most starships do not have this equipment, because... it is useless.
Energy stones are strictly controlled by the empire and are not accessible to ordinary people.
Move unused equipment into the starship. Do you think the starship has too much space?
Lao Qi shook his head and spoke seriously, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
After a pause, he added, "It's easy to let you get on the ship, but you can't think that it's over after you pay the money."
"Especially you can't do nothing, you must do what you can."
This is actually what he came for. Ten million... is really a small thing.
The main reason is that the merchant ship above us is seriously short of manpower. Currently, there are no more than twenty healthy crew members.
This is not because we are reluctant to hire people. In fact, starships are now highly automated and one person can drive a starship.
But when something happens, such a large starship cannot have too few people if it wants to exert its full combat power.
In previous years, four or five crew members would have been enough for such a large starship. Who would attack such a behemoth?
But now the situation is critical and twenty people are not enough. Enough people must be found.
Can't you see that the small ship he is driving has only three crew members? In the final analysis, it is short of men.
"Okay," Mrs. Jia continued to nod, "We won't be idle, but we won't join the war either."
As a rescued person, you should not act like a boss, but help whenever you can. This is the most normal understanding.
But I'm sorry if we let everyone go to war - we paid for it, so we can help, but there is no need to talk about working hard!
When Lao Qi heard this, he frowned, and with an A-level aura, he spoke calmly and powerfully, "What do you mean by that?"
"I have made it very clear," the old lady said calmly, "We will not sacrifice our lives for anyone."
Then she raised her finger and pointed upward, "Such a tragic image...are you running for your lives?"
Lao Qi was a little tempted to have a fit, but seeing how confident the other party was, he really didn't have the guts.
Honestly speaking, there are only five people, but they can build a factory in space - and extract energy blocks. If there is nothing strange about this matter, who would believe it?
"Okay," another voice came from the channel, "Then we can leave now, right?"
"Of course," Mrs. Jia replied without hesitation.
It seems that there are really pursuers behind the opponent, so even if we let this wave go, new faces will appear soon.
But if the other party wants to leave, he must be able to do so. "If you don't help, there will be no reward."
The person on the other side of the channel snorted coldly, "In other words, the energy blocks will not be given to us?"
"This is a bit strange," Mrs. Jia said expressionlessly, "what we plan to pay is remuneration for the rescue."
"Since you are not going to save us, why should we give it away for nothing?"
But the other party snorted again, "I originally wanted to have a nice talk... It doesn't matter if you don't give it to us, we can get it ourselves."
"I like this," suddenly, another male voice came from the conversation, "If you don't give it to me, then we will take it ourselves!"
"What...what's going on?" The voice on the other side became frightened, "Why did the control suddenly fail?"
"This is data intrusion, you, how dare you do this?"
"We also want to have a good talk," Qu Jianlei replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "but you don't know how to cherish the opportunity given to you!"
The other party immediately said, "Okay, we were offended, and we are willing to make amends."
"Then leave a small ship," Qu Jianlei said casually, and then the hatch of the armed merchant ship slowly opened.
A small attack ship slowly floated out. It seemed to be in better condition than the previous one.
Lao Qi's face darkened when he saw this, and he stared at Mu Yu fiercely, "Is it too much?"
Mu Yu was a little confused when she heard this. She pointed at herself and asked in disbelief, "Are you... talking to me?"
She felt that she had been completely wronged. She was assigned to board this starship. After boarding, she didn't say a word.
But even so, the other party still stared at me viciously?
"Of course it's you!" Lao Qi said with a dark face, "Do you dare to say it wasn't you?"
In fact, his series of operations are all supported by logic.
He might not be able to offend the person wearing the helmet. Even if he was half-hearted, putting the person in the cabin would still cause hidden dangers.
So at the beginning, he chose the person to talk to.
Usually the person in charge of the dialogue will not be a top combatant, but he will have the right to speak.
Later, he chose Mu Yu, and it was just a passing thought.
Now that I have to find someone to take the blame, the man I choose to talk to will probably cause trouble, so it would be better to choose someone weaker.
But in fact, he did have some suspicion that it must be the technical personnel who could affect the operation of his own starship.
And this woman seems to have no strength, and she is most likely a technician.
