Having uncovered the secret of such an appalling treasure, Chairman Wang Jiacheng will definitely become famous in the space exploration community. Those of us who are lucky enough to participate in it can also get a lot of glory and apply for jobs in other exploration teams, salvage companies, etc. Doubling the salary is not a problem. This is the common mentality of everyone on Kaiwuhao at the moment.
Extreme joy brings sorrow. When it was 10 million light-years away from the Fulcrum Star, the Kaiwu had just come out of the light gate and prepared the cold spring super-light engine.
Suddenly, a wave of annihilation swept not far from their ship. By the time the radar operator noticed the danger, it was too late. Wang Jiacheng had no choice but to order everyone to abandon the ship and escape.
This mysterious energy is so terrifying that even if the Kaiwuhao is upgraded to a 300-degree protective shield, it will still be vulnerable to it. The residual energy of the annihilation wave blew away the protective shield in an instant, and then rushed to the body of the ship like a knife cutting through tofu, easily tearing the Kaiwuhao's body into pieces.
Nearly half of the crew members were wiped out in the quasi-annihilation wave before they even entered the escape cabin. Those who entered the escape cabin were not much better. Like Junker Adam, they were covered in annihilation wave-like energy. Their escape cabins were completely destroyed. Some life support systems were scrapped, and some communication systems were destroyed. Burned out, some physical shells were damaged, and none of the escape hatches were intact.
Fortunately, the protective capabilities of the honeycomb scattering escape cabin are indeed strong and can withstand the impact of the residual energy of the annihilation wave. Although the overall damage is serious, the appearance is still in good condition.
However, to survive in space, it is difficult to maintain life if the escape capsule is only slightly damaged. Of the more than 1,000 Kaiwu crew members who entered the escape capsule, only more than 20 people survived in the end.
Many days later, they were discovered by some novice explorers and brought back to the Fulcrum Star. Wang Jiacheng, Hu Lan, Su Pu, and Zhu Zhen were among them. Chi Guochun unfortunately died, and the others were some lucky ordinary crew members.
The Padra crystal they found was still half in quantity because it was hidden in a precious metal warehouse. The cores of robot servants No. 2 and 3 were taken to the escape capsule by Wang Jiacheng and preserved. The last holographic video of the Holy Emperor Star recorded on Zhu Zhen was fortunately not damaged.
Wang Jiacheng used these to prove that they had discovered the treasure of the Molova Empire. The media caused a sensation, but some people also questioned them for fraud.
The people who survived in the end gained a controversial reputation. Some people believed them and thought they were heroes, while others doubted them and thought they were liars.
On the whole, Wang Jiacheng's reputation has risen to a higher level, becoming a real star in the adventure world, and he has also received the nickname "Nine Lives".
However, things were not going well in terms of economic benefits. There was no ship number, and so many crew members died all at once. They needed to be compensated. After everything was settled, only 5 million yuan was left.
Wang Jiacheng bought a second-hand salvage boat and continued his adventure. Hu Lan and Su Pu continued to follow. Zhu Zhen was impressed by Wang Jiacheng's charm and joined in.
After docking with the Cole Peak Nebula, the Steady Ship and the Kaiwu Ship, they quickly delivered urgently needed supplies to Wang Jiacheng and the others, and helped them call a maintenance tugboat.
Wang Jiacheng brought Hu Lan, Su Pu, Zhu Zhen and others to the Wenzheng to express his thanks.
Peng Haochang lowered his status to greet them in person. Wang Jiacheng was flattered, and the two chatted happily. One is the Taishan Beidou in the exploration world relying on the shadow of his ancestors, and the other is a rising star who has successively discovered multiple shocking levels of treasures. They can be considered sympathetic to each other.
In the reception cabin of the Stable, Peng Haochang stared at Wang Jiacheng with admiring eyes and said: "Mr. Wang, you are really a formidable young man. You have discovered so many treasures at a young age, and your future is limitless! Especially the treasures of the Molowa Empire. This problem that has troubled our exploration community for a million years has finally been solved by you! Our ancestor Peng Yu, the founder of the Peng family, also tried to find it, but unfortunately he failed!"
"Chairman Peng, you praise me! I am just making small fuss, and I am not the same as Mr. Peng Yu of your family! Mr. Peng Yu has been my idol since I was a child, and it is also because of Mr. Peng Yu's stories and legends that I have become I have determined to be an interstellar explorer since I was a child! By the way, the name of the company I registered is called Kaiwu Salvage, just to express my memory and respect for Mr. Peng Yu!" Wang Jiacheng said respectfully.
"Haha. This is great. The company I manage is called Tiangong Salvage, and your company is called Kaiwu. There is an idiom in the Panhua Empire called Tiangong Kaiwu. It's interesting! From now on, the two of us have something in common. How about From now on, let’s treat each other like brothers! I am older than you, so I am my brother; you are young, so if I feel aggrieved, I will become my younger brother. How about that?” Peng Haochang said boldly and authentically.
Wang Jiacheng stood up quickly and waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't dare to take this on! I don't dare to take it on! Chairman Peng, you are the pinnacle of the exploration world. I am just a small explorer. I don't dare to talk about friendship like this!"
Peng Haochang smiled modestly: "I earned my title from my ancestors. I just happened to inherit it. It's nothing compared to how you earned it through life and death! If it weren't for family affairs, I would be willing to follow Mr. Wang Let’s go on adventures to various places together. Okay, don’t refuse, you’re looking down on me if you refuse anymore, Brother Wang!”
Finally, Peng Haochang once again emphasized the brotherly covenant.
Wang Jiacheng smiled bitterly, knowing that the other party was not being polite, but sincerely wanted to make friends with him. He was also a generous person, so he said without any further refusal, "Okay, Brother Peng, I'm the one who's got the upper hand!"
Peng Haochang was very happy that he could not take risks. Recognizing the most popular person in the exploration world as his brother could comfort his heart that yearned for adventure.
Wang Jiacheng noticed that the pair of blue stone balls that Peng Haochang kept playing with were very similar to the ones he had just found during the expedition.
Peng Haochang noticed Wang Jiacheng's gaze and said boldly: "Brother Wang, do you like this pair of things? Take it, it is a gift from the eldest brother after we became brothers!"
Wang Jiacheng quickly declined. It was not his style to ask for such an expensive gift just after they met. It was the so-called no reward for no merit.
Peng Haochang was a little unhappy: "Brother, you look down on me and think that I, Peng Haochang, who said I would be your brother, are just superficial, right?"
Wang Jiacheng is also a human spirit. Seeing that Peng Haochang said it sincerely, he explained: "Brother Peng, this thing of yours is too precious. I can't take away people's love!"
Peng Haochang laughed loudly: "Brother, what does my family do? It's a family of adventurers! There are so many gadgets like this. The reason why I play with them is that they are convenient and second-hand. They are not valuable things! Don't refuse. , where are you doing, brother, I'm angry!" He pushed him in front of Wang Jiacheng.
Wang Jiacheng would not be polite if he refused any more. He picked it up with both hands to see the difference with the one he got.
