Chapter 1697 Scrambling to be the first
After downloading all the data, Jia Shuiqing was not in a hurry to leave the data center.
Artificial intelligence also requires a lot of calculations to determine the position of the star map.
During this process, if the team has new data requirements, she can also use this identity to do something.
Anyway, Mrs. Jia is really steady and fair in her work, and she is the kind of person that people can trust.
Half a month later, she asked for leave from the data center, saying that she wanted to go back to see her family.
Of course, once she left, she never showed up again because the team had already cracked the star map.
The star map is in the Valencia star field, and is very far away from all the major habitable planets.
The planet marked in red is not a very large celestial body, with a diameter of less than one thousand kilometers, and it is a desolate planet.
The Federation knows quite a bit about this planet, and people have explored it many times, but it is a pure waste planet.
There are no mines and no features, and because of its low density, it is not suitable as a military shooting range.
To put it more heartbreakingly, this planet does not even have the potential to build a communications relay.
It is not impossible to build it by force. Qu Jianlei and his team often throw temporary relay equipment into space.
However, a relay station that can be built on a planet must at least be a long-term facility, and the conditions on this planet are not sufficient.
In any case, this is a very, very ordinary planet, so ordinary that many people know about it, but no one pays attention to it.
Fortunately, after years of wandering, the nearest habitable planet to this planet is actually Tres.
However, the distance between the two...if you want to reach it directly without a jump, it will take at least two months.
Anyway, the goal is very clear. If they want to achieve it through a jump, they don't need to start from the planet Tres.
It is really not difficult to find this desolate planet called "Mushu 258".
But before that, it’s time to fulfill what I promised Hua Lei.
The two supreme beings who were put on the kill list were both on Jinyuan Star, the third most habitable star in the Federation.
Hua Lei said that the matter was not so urgent, but Qu Jianlei believed that they might not come to the Federation again in the future.
"It's easy to get to Jinyuan Star anyway. You can just stay in the life support cabin for a few days and you'll be there."
In fact, during the days when Xiaohu was running data, Xizhao built a teleportation array on Jinyuan.
Jinyuan is a relatively small habitable planet with a diameter of only more than 8,000 kilometers, but it has a high density and pleasant gravity.
This is a planet where federal high-tech enterprises gather, with strong capabilities in production, education and research.
The two supreme beings belonged to an underground consortium called "Dark Matter" and had a strong influence on Jinyuan Star.
In a place where high-tech companies gather, underground consortiums can actually thrive, and there is no need to elaborate on the details.
After Qu Jianlei and others arrived, they also specifically learned about the reputation of the Dark Matter Consortium.
It’s not that they don’t trust Hua Lei’s words, but this woman may become a member of the team, and they want to understand her character.
It turns out that Hualei was not lying - the fact that a consortium was named "Dark Matter" already explains something.
As for these two supreme beings, Qu Jianlei and others did not simply kill them, but captured them first.
By searching their souls, they gained control of the two men's authority, and then absconded with the money through a series of operations within just three days.
The two transferred more than 30 billion yuan in assets, but because a large amount of assets were transferred in a short period of time, they paid more than 20% in handling fees.
According to final statistics, the total amount of property the two took away was just over 20 billion, most of it in cash.
During this process, a senior person in charge of finance in the consortium discovered something was wrong and approached the two to inquire.
As a result, this person disappeared the next day, and when he was found five days later, his body was infested with worms.
No matter how you look at it, it was these two supreme leaders who absconded with the consortium’s huge sum of money and disappeared without a trace.
Although some people are a little skeptical as to why these two did this, it seems that they have no reason to do so.
But it has already happened. Does the act of absconding with the money need a reason?
Hua Lei was very satisfied with this way of operation because she really didn't want to have any involvement with her family.
What she pursues is not the pleasure of revenge, but the ability to effectively resolve the family crisis.
And she knew very well that she would probably never come back, and it was enough for her to make the final contribution to the family.
Of course, some people have tried to clear the names of these two people, but underground consortiums are different from formal consortiums. They only recognize money and not people.
Qu Jianlei and his team can be satisfied with the operation they have performed.
Not only did they protect Hua Lei's family, they also did not expose their own side, and most importantly... they got a large amount of federal silver bills.
You have to know that before this, they didn't have many Federation coins, and their only source of income was the spoils of Star Wars.
But most people go into space to seek wealth and fame, so it is normal to bring some extra supplies. But why bring so many silver bills?
In space, silver notes are not really considered hard currency, at least far less than gold, let alone compared to energy blocks.
Ten days later, a federal battalion-class ship appeared in the Valencia star field.
It is still about ten days' journey from here to the planet Mushu 258.
However, the space environment ahead is complex and it is not suitable for random jumps. There is no need to take the risk just to save a few days.
During the next voyage, they encountered a fleet of three starships.
Qu Jianlei and his men also sent out a small ship to conduct a serious inspection.
I really don't mean to cause trouble. The truth is that if you don't cause trouble, it will only arouse the other party's suspicion.
The other side is indeed not a pushover. A fleet consisting of three starships cannot be timid when acting in space.
After the inspection, they actually asked to see Qu Jianlei's documents - we did as requested, now it's your turn.
However, Qu Jianlei and the others were not so easy to please and said directly: We are here to carry out a special mission.
I can show you my identity documents, but after seeing them, it will be impossible for you to leave.
They didn’t say anything about requisition, but their attitude was already there: this is not something you should know!
You know what, the other party was really sensible. When he heard this, he said directly: We are being presumptuous. Can we leave now?
The fourth boss said calmly, "Remember, you have never encountered us, otherwise... you know the consequences."
This may not sound very intimidating, but it is actually not. To an old hand, the more understated the words are, the more terrifying they are.
Once they checked the ID, they knew the other party's identity. If they said harsh words at this time, it would seem that they were just showing off their strength but actually were weak.
The other party was also smart, and understood what he meant, saying, "Okay, we've been inspected so often by the military that we can't even remember."
Qu Jianlei and his team chose this battalion-level ship because they really had no other choice, but they didn't expect it to have such a miraculous effect!
Fortunately, they found Mushu-258.
The diameter of this star is only over one thousand kilometers, and its density is quite low. It is basically grayish white with a faint hint of blue.
Looking at the stars not far away, Dorgan's expression was a little strange. "It feels a bit like my space, but it's not vaporized."
As soon as she said this, the expressions on other people's faces became very subtle - is it also an innate spiritual treasure?
But think about it again, the owner of that spiritual treasure, the mysterious being, is also in the out-of-body stage.
Then if this powerful being is also in the out-of-body stage and has a magical treasure, isn’t it... normal?
"You think too much," Jiao Dao said without hesitation, "This is just a star, not a spiritual treasure."
Although he is just a small snake now, the vision of the elder of the Beast Taming Sect is definitely not bad.
When Dorgan heard him say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief - no one likes to face inexplicable pressure.
"So what's next? How do we find the secret treasure?"
This time, it was Jiao Dao Ren who took the initiative to say, "How about I go first?"
"My aura was recognized by the statue of the song of abundance before. Maybe there is some mysterious connection here."
This reason is powerful, but there is no doubt that he must have also set his sights on the secret treasure of that powerful man.
Who wouldn't be tempted by the treasures left behind by a great being who has achieved the state of leaving the body?
Even though Taoist Jiao is the elder of the Beast Taming Sect and a powerful figure in the sect with a legitimate background, how many times has he seen a powerful person who has reached the state of leaving his body in his life?
However, although he may have selfish motives, it is difficult for everyone to say anything - after all, he has sworn an oath to heaven.
However, there were some people who didn't buy his tricks. The ruler jumped up in the air and asked, "If you get anything, what are you going to do with it?"
The little snake coiled around Qu Jianlei's wrist, Xinzi spitting out and looking at the ruler grimly, "What do you mean by that?"
"My meaning is very simple," the ruler jumped twice again, "other things are fine, but the spirit stones cannot be all yours."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. Everyone in the team knew Xizhao's obsession with the spirit stone.
But those who think more about it can't help but secretly praise: The ruler trick actually hits the point!
Everyone knows that Senior Xizhao values spirit stones, but are there others who don’t value spirit stones?
Some people value magical instruments, some value cultivation techniques, and some value knowledge of cultivating immortals...
There are many examples like this. Everyone has something that he values. Why does Taoist Jiao have the exclusive right to possess the secret treasure?
A thousand-mile long dike is destroyed by an ant hole. Sunset’s requirement is just a small point, but it is a breakthrough point.
However, although Jiao Daoren has a snake body, it does not mean that his IQ is only as high as a snake's brain.
"Are you worried that I will monopolize the secret treasure?" The little snake's tongue spit out, "Haha, you are so short-sighted."
"What I want to know most is whether there is any knowledge that can break through the barriers of the immortal world. Everything else is nothing to me."
"So what I'm most worried about is that Fellow Daoist Yi He might compete with me for it. You guys... are really not worthy!"
