Qu Jianlei searched a lot of supplies in the vault, but he ran away first and then interrogated people, so he never had time to count them.
The inventory results prove that if you want to support the daily life and expenses of a team of 80,000 people, you must have strong reserves.
Especially the nature of this team is that of star thieves. Once the limelight is tight and they have to survive in hiding for a period of time, they will need more reserves.
There are basically no silver notes in the Star Thief's vault, but there are quite a few silver dollars, packed in boxes after boxes, which take up a lot of space.
But this is the characteristic of underground transactions. Transfers are not safe, and cash is king.
There are more than one million silver dollars alone, and in addition, there are more than ten tons of gold.
These two items alone are basically worth nearly 20 million.
There are also many other good things, including nearly a hundred A-grade crystals and more than 300 B-grade crystals, which are worth another 20 million.
Then there are various gems and antiques, the value of which is immeasurable.
Basically, except for antiques, they are all hard currency and meet the needs of the star thieves.
There are also some securities, equity documents and land deeds.
It is not convenient to monetize these things, but considering the nature of the team is a dynamic social organization, it is understandable.
This kind of organization is definitely indispensable for extortion and bribery. It is not surprising to have such valuable things.
But Qu Jianlei was a little depressed. Apart from gold, silver, gems and crystals, it was more difficult to sell other things.
If it was a year ago, and he had used the identity of Ran Bingluan, selling it would not be a big problem, at most it would be a little cumbersome.
But now, he might still be stared at by the Supreme Being, so he might as well skip those bigger moves.
"It's worth tens of millions at least!" Qu Jianlei was so angry that his teeth were itching, "Department of Foreign Affairs, I'm not done with you!"
In addition, it is very regrettable that there are no energy blocks in the vault!
Just looking at the size of the Star Thief's lair, the energy block reserves are definitely not small, and they should be stored in other warehouses.
It's a pity that Qu Jianlei didn't have much time at that time to look up to the sky and sigh - with two battleships, I was also short of energy blocks.
But then, an unexpected surprise appeared.
In the storage talisman that Tie Ling carried with him, there were actually a large number of banknotes and cards of different denominations.
And they are all anonymous and can be used casually - this is also in line with the characteristics of Star Thieves.
Qu Jianlei counted roughly and found that there were more than 200 million.
He was a little shocked for a moment. These funds were equally divided among 80,000 people, with an average of about three to four thousand yuan per person.
Is this how a star thief gets money? Wrong... Why do you want to be a star thief if you are so rich?
Little did he know that this was also his misunderstanding. These star thieves had just sold a stolen merchant ship.
Recently, the entire Skyhook Star Territory has been strictly checking illegal immigrants and smuggling. Although other planets are not as strict as Skyhook, the material supply system of the star thieves was originally unclear.
Due to the gradual shortage of supplies, the star thieves had to go to other planets to rob - certainly not near the Sky Blade.
But for things like robbery, it's okay to do it once or twice occasionally, but you can't do it often, otherwise it will attract military encirclement and suppression.
Therefore, selling off the previous seizures was a last resort.
After counting the approximate number, Qu Jianlei was a little confused, but Xiaohu's voice had transformed from soft and waxy to silvery.
"Haha, now we are so prosperous that we can buy large computers!"
"Don't be so excited," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but hit it, "These two battleships are also money-burning."
"Just sell one," Xiaohu replied without hesitation, "I just advised you to take away two or three more warships."
It knew that Qu Jianlei also had a Whirlpool and two anti-smuggling terminals, so it wouldn't be a problem to drive away three more warships.
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Two ships are just right, if there's more trouble
When you're older...I told you to keep a low profile. "
If you really want to drive away five warships, not only will you alarm too many people, but the small lake will also be easily exposed. "You have to know how to restrain your greed."
Xiao Hu was still muttering in a low voice, "Sell two battleships, and the quality of the mainframe will be improved a lot."
"First of all, I have to be able to sell it!" Qu Jianlei was almost amused by it.
"If I have this time, I might as well go sell the house and the land. At least it will be relatively safe... and focus on driving your starship."
Xiao Hu was already driving the starship very attentively, but he still encountered two dangers.
There is no way, space is really empty, although asteroids carry many stars, but that is only a relative term.
Starships sailing in space are also capable of warning of abnormal objects - at least they need to ensure safe navigation, right?
Even if it is an ordinary commercial starship, it is very common to find such a warship hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
Qu Jianlei and Xiao Hu turned off all the lights and almost all the power, almost making it a ghost ship.
But even so, it cannot be hidden from the active detection of some starships. There were two close calls, one of which was an encounter with a fleet of seven ships.
There are five cargo merchant ships in the fleet and two escort armed merchant ships. However, the cargo ships here also have considerable firepower.
Qu Jianlei and Xiaohu flew close to various stars, so upon seeing this, they quickly hid behind the stars.
However, the opposing fleet captured the two ships, formed a fighting formation, and called to the other side.
Neither Qu Jianlei nor Xiao Hu answered. As a result, the fleet became more and more suspicious, thinking that the other party was planning to make a big move.
Not only did the two sides confront each other, the fleet even tried to approach the two warships.
Ten hours later, Qu Jianlei couldn't bear it anymore and finally spoke up.
"If you don't leave, then don't leave. Is this giving you face?"
The strange thing is that shortly after these words were spoken, the other party slowly retreated.
Qu Jianlei didn't know until much later that according to the rules of interstellar navigation, the whereabouts of these two battleships were a bit too sneaky.
Flying close to the stars does not feel like a serious person on the road. No wonder the other party is nervous - what are you going to do?
Seriously, Qu Jianlei cursed out loud, but the person on the other side was a little relieved: You should have said it earlier if you had something to do.
It was impossible for the fleet to believe them because of this, but a response was better than no response, so they slowly retreated and eventually disengaged.
The two novice sailors didn't know these default rules, but since swearing could drive people away, they gained a lot of confidence.
The second danger was a very large cargo starship. The two sides were about 300,000 kilometers apart and both discovered each other.
There are also very powerful weapons on the large cargo starships, so you may not be afraid of one on two.
Anyway, the two sides maintained a distance of 100,000 kilometers, and they just passed each other without paying any attention to the other.
In fact, the cargo starship turned on its light signal as a courtesy for an interstellar encounter.
But Qu Jianlei didn't respond. Both warships were under blackout, so there was no need to make an exception for a greeting.
He didn't bother to think about what would happen to the other person - if you see me rushing around in the dark, just say hello.
According to the plan, it would take him about four and a half days to reach the target star, but because of the delay on the way, it took him five days.
If he flew straight, it wouldn't even take three days, but he couldn't be so reckless.
After finding the star, the two warships scanned for a while, and the armed merchant ship landed first.
The star has indeed been fully mined, and traces of mining can be seen everywhere, as well as abandoned mine carts and other objects.
After the armed merchant ship landed, it conducted a comprehensive scan of the star, finally selected a mine, and went in to investigate.
During the entire process, the starship Qu Jianlei was riding in had been on alert in the air.
It wasn't until it was determined that there was no danger in the mine that the battleship landed and entered the mine.
Hole.
The mine is very wide, almost 600 meters wide at its widest point and 200 meters high.
Qu Jianlei was stunned when he saw it. How big of a mining machine must this be?
He first controlled the battleship and used thermal weapons to bombard the mine for a while - mainly to adjust the structure of the mine.
Then armed merchant ships are dispatched. This kind of merchant ship can do more. It has a very powerful and flexible mechanical arm.
These operations would consume energy blocks, but Qu Jianlei didn't care. Compared with energy blocks, his inner breath was more valuable.
One day later, the renovation of the mine was basically completed, and the excess garbage was removed. Qu Jianlei then got off the battleship.
This time he came out without wearing a space suit. With his supreme cultivation, he could survive in space for a short period of time.
After stepping out of the starship, he shivered first, "It's so cool!"
He didn't continue to complain - mainly because he didn't have the time, so he raised his hand and sealed the knot quickly.
Two stone walls rose from the ground one after another, sealing off a sealed space in the mine.
There is Qu Jianlei himself and two battleships in the space, which occupies a large area, but the mine has just been renovated and not much internal energy has been consumed.
He then began to make further modifications to the sealed space, including but not limited to building insulation.
There was no other way. Although he could withstand the severe cold, the experience was extremely poor - the key was that it would also consume his inner breath.
In fact, the insulation layer is very easy to lay, which is a common requirement in space travel.
Use a spray gun to spray a certain liquid. After the liquid sticks to the solid, it will quickly expand and form a very effective insulation layer.
In addition, there are some other applications, such as...filling air.
There is no shortage of compressed air on the battleship. It can be compressed and stored as a liquid or even a solid. After all, it is used every time the vacuum door is opened and closed.
However, such a large space still consumes a lot of inventory.
In short, after one day, the mine was transformed into a livable space, including a vacuum door for entry and exit.
The price was that the energy block was consumed some more, and Qu Jianlei also consumed some of his inner energy.
At this time, you can't use stone milk to replenish your inner energy. It's too luxurious - just use A-grade crystals to survive.
Is it more cost-effective to use Class B crystals? Please, that's not how the account is calculated!
Because of the different degrees of scarcity, the profit margin for Grade A crystals on the black market is higher—and much higher.
However, the crux of the problem is that Grade A crystals are not easy to sell, and the price is high, not to mention the demand, which easily attracts attention.
There is no such concern with Grade B crystals.
