Qu Jianlei said Armed Merchant Ship would not leave until Armed Merchant Ship was repaired, which was just to scare Xiao Hu.
Big Head Butterfly was really frightened and did not dare to speak any more along the way.
When I returned to the mine, I saw that the second Attack Ship was about to be repaired, which would only take a day or two at most.
The person responsible for maintenance is the clone, which is slightly less intelligent, but still pretty much the same.
Qu Jianlei asked Xiao Hu to test the first Attack Ship - after all, it was a trip.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will set off for Lan Yun Market in three days.
However, on the third day, the two warships sounded the alarm at the same time, "Received distress call from Space Wanderer!"
They are the survivors who had to get into Escape Pod to escape when the starship had an accident.
"Distress signal?" Qu Jianlei frowned slightly.
Before time travel, he also encountered the problem of "whether to accept or not", but at that time he was already rich and was not afraid at all.
Even after he experienced blackmail, he successfully sent the other party's children to use sewing machines.
But this place in the Empire is very messy. You don't know who you will save.
In Shenzhou, I rescued the bad guy, and it was a big deal that he was blackmailed for money. If I rescued the wrong person here, it could be fatal! After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How far is it from here?"
Xiao Hu's soft voice sounded, "More than 1.1 million kilometers."
Forget it then! Qu Jianlei I don't want to get into trouble. The toll alone is a lot of money. What if others also receive the signal? However, before he could speak, Big Head Butterfly's body turned and said, "It's coming in our direction."
The distress signal is actively released, and it is easy for people to capture the movement trajectory of the rescuer.
I really... Qu Jianlei was completely speechless, "Do you want to take refuge on this planet?"
"It's most likely like this," Xiao Hu sighed softly, "It's written in "Space Distress Self-Help Guide"."
The "Guide" teaches some common sense. For example, space is very lonely, and long-term drifting is not good for the body and mind.
If you encounter danger in space, there is basically no means of cover and avoidance.
However, stars may not necessarily be safe, they may be poisonous or contain strange animals, and they do not even exclude the biggest danger - Space Pirate.
Only those stars that know their roots are the most reliable.
Obviously, the star Qu Jianlei lives in meets the standards.
It was originally Mineral Star. The air, rock and other ingredients are very safe. Although it is now abandoned, it is always safer than space.
Qu Jianlei sighed, "Then save them. We can't let them end up here."
The Escape Pod that landed will have a very limited range of activities, but what if it is Space Mech that comes?
He concealed the mine very well and even arranged Stealth Array inside. However, why take the risk?
He pondered for a moment and asked, "How are the inspections of the two Attack Ship going?"
"Perfect," Xiao Hu replied with certainty, "Now we can leave... which ship will we use?"
"8384," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "The computing power is also strong, don't you like it?"
Xiao Hu hesitated and spoke, "Actually, I prefer 3344. It feels bad to be outrun."
Co-writing it feels that way too.
While Qu Jianlei was chatting, he slipped Armed Merchant Ship out, and then did not forget to open Stealth Array.
To be honest, if his current belongings were stolen, he would really feel heartbroken.
Armed Merchant Ship quickly took off, and in order to prevent hidden dangers, it made a big circle and pretended to be coming from another direction.
When he was close to the other party, which was 100,000 kilometers away, Qu Jianlei breathed a sigh of relief, "Good guy, it's actually a lifeboat?"
The lifeboat was a large Escape Pod. It could accommodate more than one person and had a certain amount of power and supplies. The other party was obviously prepared for a long war. They actually turned off the lifeboat's engine and wanted to rely on inertia to reach the abandoned star.
So when he found the other party, even if he made a big circle, the lifeboat was still 900,000 kilometers away from his home base.
But it's a good thing I didn't let this guy go. Otherwise, the lifeboat still had a small amount of power. I really don't know what could be done. Moth Insectoid.
Qu Jianlei released a Attack Ship, quickly approaching 50,000 kilometers away from this guy.
"Is this the distress signal you sent?"
"It's us," a man's voice replied, "Save us quickly and we will be greatly thanked!"
"Speak nicely!" Qu Jianlei replied stiffly. You have to act like you're begging for help. How dare you use an imperative sentence? "I'm sorry, Your Excellency," the man said in an obedient manner and immediately became humble, "You will be greatly thanked for saving us!"
Qu Jianlei felt a little strange, who are these people?
In interstellar navigation, those who ask for help may not necessarily be kind, but those who save others may not necessarily be kind.
"Ask us for help? Haven't you noticed that the person approaching you now is Attack Ship?"
"That shows that your Excellency is very powerful," the man replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "We are very relieved."
The person responsible for communication at this time will definitely not be a brainless person, so the other party is either pretending or really awesome.
Qu Jianlei didn't bother to consider which one it was, "Sit tight and don't react in any way. Attack Ship will take you into the cabin."
There are also Attack Ship and Mechanical Arm, which are very small, but it is easy to catch a lifeboat that has not started.
Then he grabbed the lifeboat and entered Cargo Hold - yes, Armed Merchant Ship has Cargo Hold.
Cargo Hold is not too big. There are two Attack Ship inside, and they are not ready for ejection attacks at any time.
However, the lifeboat was so small that it was packed in casually.
Qu Jianlei walked out of Assault Ship, "Okay, you can take a break for a while."
Seven people got out of the lifeboat, four men and three women. The leader was a middle-aged man, Rank B Stone Attribute.
He looked at Qu Jianlei curiously, with a solemn look on his face, "Attack Ship, was it driven by your Excellency alone?"
The other person has an average appearance, the kind of person you can't find in a crowd.
But he knows very well that the more this kind of person is, the more he cannot be underestimated, especially in Asteroid Belt.
In addition, he could vaguely feel that the other party was like a hidden beast, posing a huge potential threat.
Qu Jianlei ignored his question. Do you want to dominate the conversation on my starship?
He said very straightforwardly, "Let's talk first, how much is the heavy sum?"
"Your Majesty, make a price," the middle-aged man said happily, "If you can send us to Tianbing Star, I will give you 10 million."
Ten million for seven people, which is higher than Xiang Xue's life-saving price of one million.
However, interstellar voyages have costs. If you include the return voyage, it can only be said that the money given by the other party is not small.
"No," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "We only want to save you, but also send you away?"
"Twelve million," the man increased the price without hesitation. "If you think it's not enough, you can make an offer."
It's impossible for my starship to land at Tianbing Star, okay? Qu Jianlei is a little helpless.
Of course, if the other party dares to ask such a price, the value will not be bad, and the possibility of concealment is not even ruled out.
After all, there are too many hidden dangers in this vast space, so it is safer not to reveal your wealth.
But it is conceivable that if he can drive the starship to the galaxy where Tianbing Star is located, the other party will most likely arrange a starship to pick him up.
Therefore, it is normal for the Anti-Smuggling Department to have his hands in it. He has indeed affected other people's industries.
But he wouldn't discuss it like this. In fact, he had no intention of coddling the other party.
"It's not about money. Let's see. You want to go to that abandoned Mineral Star body. Can I send you there for one million?"
"No need for that," the middle-aged man shook his head hastily. The reason why they chose that star was because they had no choice.
After landing on a star, you still have to wait for a passing starship to rescue you. Why don't you just put something ready in front of you? The key is that it's hard to tell whether a starship is passing by!
Qu Jianlei will calculate the rescue cost, and other starships will also calculate the cost.
If the person is only 100,000 to 80,000 kilometers away, he might be able to save someone. But if the person is only 30,000 to 500,000 kilometers away, who is going to save someone who has eaten too much?
So all he could say was, "Where are you going? Just send us there."
At this moment, a gorgeous woman spoke up. The woman looked to be in her thirties and had an extraordinary temperament.
"Twenty million, Tianbing Star, just reach the galaxy, do you want to go?"
Qu Jianlei has always been wary of this woman. Although she has a moderate figure and is even thin, she is a bit inconsistent with mainstream aesthetics.
But this woman is Rank A of Ice Attribute, and her combat power in space can rival the Supreme.
The woman remained silent, but instead made Qu Jianlei sure that this was the person who could make the decision.
The bosses only show up when the decision is made, so the people below are naturally responsible for bargaining.
Qu Jianlei shook his head and answered simply, "As I said, it's not about money."
The woman answered firmly, "Money can't solve the problem Buduo, you make a price."
Qu Jianlei laughed when he heard this, "You really are not worried that I am Space Pirate, two hundred million me..."
"Then 200 million," a hint of coldness flashed across the woman's eyes, "As long as you dare to accept it, I dare to give it to you."
"Sister," the middle-aged man couldn't help it, "You should calm down your temper."
"It doesn't matter," the woman replied calmly, but her eyes were fixed on Qu Jianlei, "Anyone who dares to understand the price can't do any harm."
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard this, "You can see clearly that I'm not a bad person, but I have something wrong with me."
The woman pondered for a moment and asked, "Then where can you send us?"
She finally recognized the reality. Qu Jianlei was naturally not too troublesome and answered simply, "Do you know the route is confidential?"
"I know," this time it was a middle-aged man who answered. Obviously, this is a character similar to Guan family.
"We won't reveal where you met us."
Through the location where the two sides met, too much intelligence can be analyzed.
There are Great Ming people in the interstellar who do business generously, but there are also many people who make a fortune in silence and don't want others to know their channels.
This has nothing to do with whether the business is formal or not, it is simply "it is easy to borrow money but difficult to borrow money".
He felt that he was quite sensible, but unexpectedly he said something else to the ordinary man opposite him, "Let's talk about the cost."
