Qu Jianlei They encountered a little trouble on the way back to Paradise Star.
The accident did not appear on Unlucky Starship, but on the trailing 3344 Ship.
After they entered Tianpeng Star System, Qu Jianlei decided to go to Lost Star to take a look from a distance to see if the military was still watching.
However, Lost Star was still far away, and Xiao Hu told Qu Jianlei that something had happened.
The 3344 Ship behind actually triggered the passive space early warning device.
In such a vast space, there are actually people setting up early warning devices, which is really unexpected.
3344 Ship turned on stealth and did not take the initiative to explore other situations - not far ahead, there was its own starship exploring the way.
Without thinking, I triggered an early warning device that came from nowhere.
To make matters worse, the signal sent out by the early warning device was very strong and encrypted.
"Ninety-nine percent of it was set up by the military," Big Head Butterfly turned, "Boss, what should we do?"
"Let 3344 continue to jump," Qu Jianlei issued the command, "Target...Hope Star Region is ready."
High Imitation Warship has appeared as many times as Buduo, but last time it was nearby and encountered a melee between Strathford Adventure Group and Grave Robber.
For this reason, the Strathford Family family specifically contacted Paradise Star and wanted to issue a reward, but it didn't work out.
However, Qu Jianlei thought again that this jump might alarm the military, so Unlucky Starship... it would not be appropriate to return to Paradise in the short term.
Even if Ironhide Snake has the whole story, as long as he is suspected, he may be in trouble in the future.
"Forget it, let's go to Hope Star Region too. We haven't been back for a long time."
Shortly after the two starships jumped, two warships actually came over, and the ones painted on them were "Military Police".
"The other party immediately implemented interference, but it can be seen that it should be a standard warship type."
In order to conceal its presence, passive early warning devices usually do not issue active detection. They will only detect when an alarm is triggered.
The person controlling 3344 is Xiao Hu, and his reaction speed is definitely no problem, but it still allows the other party to spy a little bit.
"Is there really something wrong with the military here? Or... is it a counterfeit warship?"
It seems that the military also knows that someone is messing around under their banner, such as a certain archaeological organization.
"Anyway, there must be something wrong, otherwise they wouldn't have escaped through the jump. Can they lock their whereabouts?"
"How is that possible... it's not an official standard jump channel. It's a pity that the other party is too alert."
"Then the surrounding inspections will be more rigorous. Let's bring in some more starships."
The two starships jumped from One Queen to Hope Star Region, and it took half a day to get in touch.
Qu Jianlei really wants to take a look at the four Habitable Star and see what the current Hope Star Region looks like.
But it is very regrettable that even if Unlucky Starship is registered here, it is not suitable to land casually.
"Let's wander around for a while first," Old Lady Jia suggested, "See if there are any suitable landing opportunities."
Anyway, it is not suitable for them to return to Paradise in the short term, so it would be good to find something to kill time.
Don't tell me, Old Lady's mouth seemed to have been opened. Five days later, they really found an opportunity.
It was a cheap Passenger Starship that encountered a malfunction and frantically sent out distress signals to all around.
The starship is not completely unusable, but the situation is still very dangerous and failures continue to spread.
There is no doubt that there are no high-level maintenance technicians on this flight.
But this is not a huge problem. The signal they send will reach the headquarters sooner or later.
The headquarters will definitely send someone to rescue him, but it will take some time on the way.
After Unlucky Starship found the signal, he drove over and said straightforwardly, "How to calculate the maintenance cost?"
The person on the other side really said that it is hard to give up good money, and said that our maintenance costs are limited, so let's see where the fault is first, okay?
Qu Jianlei drove the starship close to the opponent, and actually boarded the passenger ship to take a look.
The fault is not too big but not too small. For another person, even if there are enough spare parts, it is not that difficult to fix it in space!
Qu Jianlei directly offered a sky-high price: I will provide the spare parts, and I guarantee repairs for 20 million! He indeed quoted a high salary. Four to five million is enough for this kind of work and materials - this is after taking into account the difficulty of space operations.
But Qu Jianlei didn't even think about repairing it, so he quoted a sky-high price.
Sure enough, the other person said that he was too shady - he could have done it for a million or so! These people run space passenger transport all year round. Although they are not good at maintenance, they still know the approximate prices of common faults.
They hope that Qu Jianlei can charge a reasonable fee, and also said that the company's annual maintenance budget is limited.
"If you like to repair, don't repair!" Qu Jianlei turned around and left. "How much does it cost to send someone from your company for one visit?"
"How much money did you make less while you were waiting?"
Anyway, he just looks like a philistine, trying to make excess profits by "presenting facts and reasoning."
However, the crew members were also hard-pressed to part with their good fortune and resolutely refused to agree to such extortion, and eventually the two families broke up on bad terms.
After Qu Jianlei boarded Unlucky Starship, he left without any intention of bargaining.
So much so that some passengers on the ship complained, "This guy is trying to cut down the price. Does he have a grudge against money?"
Qu Jianlei has no grudge against money, but he came forward to negotiate the price, mainly because he wanted to send Old Lady Jia into the starship.
Old Lady's own concealment ability is very strong. With a little illusion, it is not difficult to cover Old Lady's entry into the cabin.
Anyway, if he doesn't accept the order, it means he is just a profit-seeking person.
Are there few such people? There are really quite a few of them. You can encounter them casually on the street, and many passengers won't find them strange.
Seriously, if he repairs the starship, it will attract more attention from everyone, and the level of repairing the starship is clearly visible.
Kind-hearted people are too rare, let alone capable kind-hearted people?
We have all seen so many people who are fussy and fussy about things, but we don't take them to heart.
If you don't pay attention to me, that's the best! Unlucky Starship just walked away.
Three days later, the maintenance technician arrived with other starships and spent half a day temporarily solving the starship's problem.
"You can drive it to a location first and then repair it thoroughly."
No one noticed that a vague shadow appeared in Passenger Starship and Cargo Hold.
The destination of Passenger Starship is Hope Star, and Old Lady left two Teleportation Array Disc on Hope Star.
Then she went to Fourth Star and Second Star - Planet Three. The atmosphere was still quite tense at the moment, so there was no rush to go.
Qu Jianlei and others also came to Second Star. It was really a special feeling to revisit the old place.
Fortunately, he actually saw Sophia on the street.
The former commercial tour guide has become a little plumper and has an automatic stroller by his side.
And her lower abdomen also showed an obviously abnormal bulge - it should be that she had given birth to new life.
Qu Jianlei smiled subconsciously and shook his head. This probably means "you have your life, and I have my journey."
However, the reality did not make him sad for too long. Old Lady Jia came over with a dark face and said, "Jiu Xian was taken away."
"Take it away?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows and spoke in surprise, "Take him to where?"
"Abnormal Affairs Observation Group," Old Lady Jia sighed softly, "She has strong research abilities, and... she has a good family background."
"Family origin?" Qu Jianlei repeated, and then asked with a strange expression, "Were you influenced?"
"This... there should be a little bit of it," Old Lady Jia hesitated, Diandian nodded, "But mainly archeology is more popular recently."
The popularity of archeology was triggered by the ghost cultivator incident of Blade Star Region, but there are deeper reasons.
Listening to the words of Qian He, the middle-aged Young Master, you can know that the empire has accumulated too many things.
Ran Bingluan's tribulation thunder, Hongjingtian's spiritual magic, Super Qi Gathering Array's theft...
This is only related to him. When Greenwater Old Dean starts to study Divine Script, this trend will be difficult to stop.
However, the empire has always emphasized that private research on Divine Script is strictly prohibited - I may not pursue it, but this does not mean that you are legal!
Because there are so many pent-up grievances, all kinds of conflicts are now beginning to break out.
"Isn't this too short-sighted?" Qu Jianlei's eyes flashed coldly, "Are you going to mess with them?"
"It's okay so far. We're at Planet Three," Old Lady Jia replied calmly, "It's not convenient for us to go there at the moment."
I have to admit that the people of the Empire are really big-hearted, and she didn't take it easy when her great-granddaughter encountered something like this.
"That's okay," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded. Even the sufferer said there was no need to worry. It's useless for him to worry alone, right?
"Anyway, just keep in touch with them. Just let them know if you need anything."
"I hope it won't come to that day," Old Lady Jia's eyes flashed coldly, "By the way, the boss of Second Star is now Ke Ruian."
"Ke Ruian?" Qu Jianlei frowned, "This person... should I know him?"
Old Lady Jia said calmly, "Fourth Star's second-in-command, Hoyer, do you remember, the one who made you wanted?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation. It was a completely unnecessary disaster. How could he forget it?
At that time, he had already planned to integrate into the imperial society and become a normal person.
But it was this incident that allowed him to completely see the basic logic of the operation of imperial society, which led him to escape to this day.
By now, his mind has gone wild and he can't even go back.
Of course, from another perspective, maybe he should be grateful for this change, which allowed him to live a more sober life.
But who can tell clearly what is right and wrong here?
Old Lady Jia spoke leisurely, "Ke Ruian was the biggest promoter of bringing down Hoyer, even though he was not in Hope Star Region at the time."
Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "The person who makes things difficult for Hoyer should be Divine Script Society's person, right?"
"Ke Ruian belongs to Divine Script Society," Old Lady said with certainty.
"Hoyer Mom's grandfather was tricked by him."
"Of course, there are others in their group, but Ke Ruian is definitely the main party involved!"
