After determining the target, they naturally had to first understand what exactly they needed on Neptune. Duan Lishu had obviously been prepared for it. As soon as Long Jiu asked, he elaborated: "It's a kind of... The metal specially used for forging mecha weapons is called water-condensed gold."
"In the past, we used a rare metal when making mecha weapons, but this rare metal is not very durable. Under high-intensity firepower, it is easily damaged by high-intensity temperatures. Therefore, the empire is repairing weapons. On the one hand, a large amount of maintenance money is always required. Although the empire cannot afford this expenditure, it would naturally be very gratifying if a special metal that can withstand high temperatures and is resistant to forging can be found to replace it."
"So water-condensed gold is the substitute special metal you found that can withstand high temperatures and is resistant to forging?" Long Jiu asked in surprise.
Duan Lishu nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, it was Mr. Shen Qiao who finally found it after countless experiments. And haven't you discovered that your mecha weapons are made of water-condensed gold? Not only you, but also His Majesty The mecha weapons of the commander are also made of water-condensed gold."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Wei Chuyang, "Yours too."
Wei Chuyang nodded. After all, he was stationed in Shen Qiao's laboratory and watched with his own eyes how they modified his mecha. Naturally, he knew that his mecha's weapons had also been re-replaced.
Long Jiu didn't notice any changes in Long Shiyi's weapons, and even if she looked carefully, she couldn't notice anything different.
Duan Lishu took the mint water at hand and took a sip. After putting down the cup, he said with regret: "Water-condensed gold is a good thing, but unfortunately it is more difficult to make than deformed metal. It's not that the owner of Neptune is more powerful than the mechanical race." It's amazing, but the water-condensed gold is buried deep under the deep sea. It is difficult to get them out of the seabed, let alone digging them in the deep seabed. When Mr. Shen Qiao was able to buy those water-condensed gold, it was said that they were still Someone on Neptune accidentally picked it up."
Long Jiu felt something was wrong when she heard this. She frowned and said, "Wait a minute, what does it mean to pick up by accident? Since it can be picked up by accident, it means that people on Neptune can freely come and go in the deep sea. Since In this way, they should also know the preciousness of water-condensed gold, haven't they dug it?"
As Long Jiu finished speaking, both Duan Lishu and Wei Chuyang's expressions became a little hard to explain.
Long Jiu looked at the expressions on the two people's faces and said suspiciously, "What? Did I say something wrong?"
The two of them looked at Long Jiu with complicated expressions, and it was not clear for a moment whether they were looking at what Long Jiu had just said or at something else.
However, Li Muchuan coughed slightly, and after looking at Long Jiu, he said helplessly: "Usually you don't listen to me when I ask you to read more books. Now you know what books are and you will hate them less when they are used. You know the people who live on Neptune. What race is it?"
Long Jiu looked at Li Muchuan with dark eyes.
Li Muchuan sighed: "They call themselves the Deep Sea Clan, but we humans call them the Shark Clan or the Mermaid Clan because they look very similar to our legendary Sharks."
"Shark Man?" Long Jiu's eyes narrowed. ….
She was familiar with this stuff. Back then, there were also the Shark Race in the wilderness, and the Shark Race had always been a small tribe affiliated with the Dragon Clan.
I just don’t know if the sharks on this alien planet look anything like the sharks in the wilderness back then.
Seeing that Long Jiu was obviously interested in this abyssal tribe, Li Muchuan continued: "Sharks are what we humans call them. They don't admit it, but they are indeed the same as our legendary sharks, with human bodies and fish tails. After landing on the shore, the fish tail can turn into a pair of legs. And the deep-sea tribe, regardless of gender, old or young, are all handsome men and beautiful women. It is said that after they grow to a certain age, their appearance will not change anymore, even at the end of their lifespan, their appearance will not age. They still Born with a good voice, everyone in the tribe is good at singing, and the songs they sing can confuse people's hearts, and those who are not determined will even fall into hallucinations."
As Li Muchuan's science popularized, the expression on Long Jiu's face became more and more weird, because apart from the fact that all men, women and children were handsome, this so-called deep sea tribe was really consistent with the Shark Race. It was just the Shark Race in the wilderness back then. Although all females in the tribe are beauties,
The males in the clan are all too ugly to look at.
As long as Long Jiu recalled the male sharks in the Sharman tribe, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Long Jiu quickly thought about the face of his emperor brother again, and then after getting rid of the ugly faces of male sharks in his mind, he quickly asked: "Can those deep sea tribesmen fight?"
Although the Sharks were one of the small affiliated groups of the Dragon Clan back then, they were famous among those affiliated groups for being good at fighting. Even the dragons might not be able to defeat the Sharks in the sea.
This time Li Muchuan didn't say anything, but Wei Chuyang on the side said firmly: "I can fight."
However, after Wei Chuyang said the word 'can fight,' his expression was hard to explain: "Although they are really capable of fighting, the Deep Sea Tribe are peace lovers."
Long Jiu: "????"
What the hell?
Wei Chuyang looked at her and said quietly: "As long as you don't step on their bottom line, the Deep Sea Clan is a bunch of fools. Even if they were deceived by you, they would probably happily help you count the money. After counting the money, they would still say The kind that will give you a warm hug or kiss."
Long Jiu: "..."
No, those deep-sea tribes are definitely not the sharks, and they definitely have nothing to do with the sharks. The sharks were ferocious in various sea areas back then. If there were no dragons, they could have become the overlord of the ocean.
"So, what is their bottom line?" Long Jiu asked with a confused expression, "Is it the water-condensed gold buried deep under the sea?"
Wei Chuyang said with a dull expression: "No."
Long Jiu was surprised, "No? What is that?"
Duan Lishu said with a slumped face: "It's the Neptune Pearl, a colorful pearl bred from a giant pearl clam unique to Neptune. That thing is of no use to us. It's an expensive and rare thing at best. Jewelry.”
Long Jiu: "..."
Long Jiu: "So, we are going to Neptune to get water and gold. Will the Deep Sea Tribe fight with us?"
Duan Lishu chuckled with a paralyzed face, "As long as you don't fish for the Sea King Pearl, even if you completely hollow out the water condensation gold, they might still be helping you with the shovel."…
Long Jiu was silent for a while, then took the water glass aside and drank half of it in one breath, holding back four words, "Let me slow down."
It would definitely not be possible to slow down, because Long Jiu really couldn't imagine that the Deep Sea Tribe had developed such a temperament.
She can still understand the peace lover, but she can't understand it when she sees others running to dig special metal mines in their own territory, and they can still pass shovels with a smile on their faces. Even if they are stupid, they don't have to be so stupid. Sweet, right?
After Long Jiu calmed down for a while, he still couldn't calm down. He said in an incredible tone: "How on earth did they survive until now and not be exterminated? Don't other races in the Vido Galaxy know how they live? Are there any valuable treasures under the sea? Isn’t it just us who need this special metal, hydrometallic gold? Other races also need it, right?”
"You know everything you know, but who can go down and dig?" Wei Chuyang said dullly: "Ninety percent of Neptune is the sea. Its sea area is so vast and its seabed is so deep that even the most advanced technology cannot penetrate deep into it, let alone It is said that we have to go to the bottom of the sea and start working, even if the Deep Sea Tribe lets people dig it, it will be useless."
Long Jiu choked.
Han Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and said very sinisterly: "Isn't there anyone who threatens the Deep Sea Tribe to help dig?"
Duan Lishu glanced at her and said emotionlessly: "Oh, I forgot to mention that besides the Sea King Pearl, there is another bottom line for the Deep Sea Clan, and that is their clansmen. If anyone dares to kidnap or threaten their clansmen, the whole clan will riot. And attack. Although they are indeed silly and sweet, after stepping on their bottom line, the little white rabbit will immediately turn into a fire-breathing dragon. Even the largest naval ship in the sea can be torn out a hole by their bare hands, and even more Not to mention what will happen after falling into the sea, even if you escape to the shore, they can still chase you ashore, unless you can fly into the sky, but after flying into the sky, they will not be able to do anything to you, but you can also
There is nothing that can be done to them. Even if they throw bombs into the sea, they will hide in the deep sea and the bombs will be thrown in vain. "
Han Jiaojiao: ".........."
Zhou Xinyu bit her chopsticks and said with difficulty: "What if I ask them to help me dig with nice words? Aren't they so silly and sweet that they can help pass the shovel to the side?"
Duan Lishu's face became paralyzed again, "That's just handing a shovel to the side, don't think about the rest."
Zhou Xinyu: "......"
Can this be considered silly and sweet?
Didn’t Silly Baitian rush to help dig after being fooled? What's the point of handing over a shovel?
Probably seeing what Zhou Xinyu was complaining about in his heart, Wei Chuyang said with a wooden face: "Why can't it be counted? There are many types of stupidity. The kind of people from the Deep Sea Clan. At best, they are stupid and sweet. At worst, they are stupid. There is something wrong with your brain. The special metal of water-condensed gold is obviously more valuable than the Neptune Pearl, and for the deep-sea tribe, water-condensed gold is actually a dispensable thing. Look at them guarding the water-condensed gold for so long. Have you ever taken out a store? They would rather sell pearls than sell water-condensed gold. It’s not that they don’t know that water-condensed gold is more valuable than pearls, but they simply don’t want to dig it out.”
Wei Chuyang turned his head and looked at Long Jiu, and continued: "Shen Qiao had a conversation with a deep-sea tribe back then. His original intention was to let them dig some water to condense gold. He bought it at a high price. What do you think the deep-sea tribe answered him?" ….
Long Jiu felt that the deep-sea tribe's answer must be unacceptable, but he still asked: "How did you answer it?"
Wei Chuyang said with a smile on his face: "According to Shen Qiao's grief-stricken rebuke, as soon as the Deep Sea Tribe heard his proposal, tears immediately appeared in his eyes as blue as the sea, and he looked at the heartless man with a look. She looked at him with heartbroken eyes, and then sobbed like a girl holding her heart and said... Mr. Shen, how could you make such a rude and sad request? Look at our hands, they are suitable for... Is it such a hard and dirty thing to do mining?”
As soon as Wei Chuyang finished speaking, the small restaurant fell silent.
Wei Chuyang continued expressionlessly: "Shen Qiao said that when he saw its white hands that could tear apart a naval ship with bare hands, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood."
Others in the restaurant: "..."
Wei Chuyang: "In the end, the beautiful young man from the Deep Sea Clan shed tears and ran away, covering his face with his white hands. As he ran away, the door of the reception room was closed. As a result, the system failed to open the door in time and was easily torn open by one hand... According to Shen Qiao's special addition, the door was made of fine iron and was bulletproof and high-explosive."
Everyone: "......"
What kind of idiots are the Deep Sea Clan? !
Long Jiu rubbed the center of her eyebrows. She no longer wanted to study what kind of idiots the Deep Sea Tribe were. Anyway, she didn’t need the Deep Sea Tribe’s help to mine in the deep sea. As long as she was sure that she would not encounter the Deep Sea Tribe this time when she went to Neptune. Just attack in groups.
"Okay, I've already understood what I need to know." Long Jiu stood up and picked up his empty dinner plate, then put it in the dishwasher and said to the others: "I'm going back to rest first, here we are. Call me again when your shift changes."
There were only six of them on the starship, and they were divided into groups of two who took turns staying in the control cabin to monitor the journey, which also allowed them to get enough rest time.
It was Wei Chuyang and Zhou Xinyu who would return to the control cabin to monitor later, so Long Jiu simply waved his hand and returned to his rest cabin.
Wei Chuyang and Zhou Xinyu returned to the control cabin after finishing their meal, and the remaining three people also returned to their rest cabins one after another.
After Long Jiu returned to the rest cabin, her sullen face suddenly relaxed. She threw herself into the not-so-large single bed with a toothache on her face, and then raised her hand. The terminal sent a message to Xiao Tingyun.
However, not long after the message was sent, Xiao Tingyun sent a call request.
When connected, the holographic screen pops up and hangs above Long Jiu's face.
Xiao Tingyun clearly saw the toothache expression on Long Jiu's face.
Xiao Tingyun chuckled lightly and asked, "Why is this expression on your face?"
Long Jiu immediately calmed down the expression on his face, blinked and asked, "Did you see the message I just sent?"
Of course Xiao Tingyun saw it, otherwise why would he call now? However, he also knew that Long Jiu was not really asking this, so he said with a smile: "Why did you ask about the Deep Sea Clan, how did you get to Neptune?"
Long Jiu sighed: "Originally, I thought it was Tianlongxing, but Uncle Duan Tianlongxing had to go last, so our target this time became Neptune."….
When Xiao Tingyun heard the words 'Dragon Star,' his eyebrows raised high, "Do you want to go to Tianlong Star to do dark gilding?"
Long Jiu looked at him sideways, "Isn't it possible? Or do you not want dark gilding?"
Xiao Tingyun sighed helplessly: "You definitely want it, but the Pegasus tribe is not easy to mess with. General Duan's plan is correct. Tianlong star must be the last to go, otherwise you will face the pursuit of the Pegasus tribe throughout the galaxy. Already."
Speaking of the pursuit, Xiao Tingyun paused, then looked at Long Jiu with a half-smile, and said: "Our intelligence personnel hidden in the Balaya Galaxy have sent back recent news there. It is said that the machine race is following the madman. As if searching for dragons everywhere in the Balaya galaxy, a large number of mechanical armies were continuously dispatched. The planets closest to Kelep were swept away by the mechanical armies, and several alien races almost followed. The machine clan is fighting."
Long Jiu suddenly laughed dryly, "It seems that the mechanical tribe has recovered."
Isn't it time to recover? Otherwise, why would they have burst out of the hornet's nest like a hornet's nest?
Xiao Tingyun looked at her and said with a half-smile, "So it's a good thing you guys ran fast, otherwise you would have been chased around by the machine race right now."
Long Jiu rubbed the tip of his nose and hummed softly: "It sounds like I am afraid of them. If we are really right, we don't know who will win."
When Xiao Tingyun saw her unconvinced appearance, he just wanted to sigh. He changed his expression and said helplessly: "If you can, try not to do anything. Although you are not afraid of them, if you are hurt again, I will still do it." Distressed."
When Long Jiu heard this, he immediately changed his tone. He was like a little bully before, but now he is like a little sweet cake. His voice was light and soft: "We won't do anything when we go to Neptune this time. , Uncle Duan said that the Deep Sea Clan are a bunch of fools, and as long as I don’t touch their Sea King Pearl, they won’t care about me digging for water to condense gold.”
Xiao Tingyun felt softened by her soft and soft voice, and his expression and eyes instantly softened, "What General Duan said is true, the Deep Sea Clan..." Having said this, he paused suspiciously, and then continued: "This race is indeed a bit difficult to describe, but as long as you don't step on their bottom line, they are also very easy to get along with."
The suspicious pause in Xiao Tingyun's words immediately made Long Jiu understand that he must also be aware of some of the Deep Sea Clan's dirty tricks. Long Jiu recalled Wei Chuyang's previous words and asked, "Have you also heard Shen Qiao complain? Pass?"
The expression on Xiao Tingyun's face was slightly distorted, and then he slowly nodded and said, "Shen Qiao is not complaining, but tearfully reprimanding."
Long Jiu: "..."
It seemed that the young man from the Deep Sea Clan had left a very serious psychological shadow on Shen Qiao. .
