Chapter 624 The Thief in the Vault
At Ji Ming's suggestion, a vigorous puzzle operation began.
All major laboratories under Xingchen Technology received varying quantities of Crow alloys from Luo Jia, and then everyone used their brains to let their imagination go, trying to find out what secrets this alloy is hidden.
It is said that since the existence of stars, Crow alloy has always been a currency. After experiencing the changes of countless civilizations and the rise and fall of countless dynasties, everything among the stars is changing. The only thing that remains unchanged is the value of Crow alloy. And according to the trend, people's pursuit of Crow alloy will continue forever.
No one knows who or which civilization casts these ugly and strange alloys, but according to legend, Crow alloy contains the ultimate secret of the stars. If a sufficient amount of Crow alloy is collected, it will solve the mystery of the universe and have the power and power of the God of the universe.
The legend is so, and it has been passed down for a long time. Most people of the stars have firmly believed in this, and have a religious piety towards Cloro Metal, thinking that it is a gift left to mortals by God.
But the straight men of Steel of Xingchen Technology do not believe in God and are the most determined atheists in the universe, so they do not believe in the so-called cosmic forging Crow alloys. In the eyes of science and engineering men, if the God of the universe can only forge such black iron lumps, then he would be too LOW.
Since you don’t believe it is a gift from God, you have to find a way to crack it and figure out how the Crow alloy was made and what its purpose is.
However, what the science and engineering men never expected was that this vigorous cracking operation ended with the complete failure of major laboratories. Even if they showed what they had learned in their lives and let go of the most arrogant imagination in their lives, the black iron lump is still the black iron lump. It cannot act as a superconductor, it cannot evolve antimatter, and it cannot be used to build space-time tunnels.
"Oh, at least it can be used to buy things." Luo Jia sat in the vault, looking at a pile of black iron bumps, thinking silently, feeling unwilling, but very helpless. Even the golden dome did not tell him what these broken iron bumps were of use.
As the number of Crow alloys sent by Star Ring Trade increased, Luo Jia had to build a vault to store these useless but priceless iron blocks.
Suddenly, Luo Jia blinked her eyes, squatted down with confusion, and pulled out a piece of Crow alloy from the bottom layer of the shelf. Since the Crow alloy weighs only 19% of the black iron, it is very light, and even children can easily pick up a piece of clump.
When Luo Jia picked up this large piece of CLO alloy, she was surprised to find a row of small tooth marks, as if some small animal was stealing.
"There are actually small animals that eat metals?" Luo Jia said in confusion: "Even if this thing is light, it's still iron."
He continued to search, and indeed, he found more evidence of crime in several other places.
The little animals that steal alloys are very cunning, specializing in eating alloy nuggets located in remote corners, and only take a small bite on each alloy. In this way, if you don't observe carefully, it will be difficult to find out. It seems that he also understands the principle that you can't just pull a sheep wool.
"It's so weird, who is stealing the Clover alloy?" Luo Jia thought.
He ordered the robot to guard the vault, and then Luo Jia found Mi Jian from the Geological Research Institute.
"When I was exploring this planet, did I find local creatures?" Luo Jia asked.
"Bio? Didn't find it." Mi Jian was confused when asked.
He told Luo Jia that he had conducted several surveys and confirmed that there was a large amount of solid fresh water on the planet, but no creature was found, and it was clean, so he was chosen to be the main base of the Earth Fleet.
Luo Jia nodded slightly. The climate on the base planet is harsh, and the temperature is often as low as minus 100 degrees. Are there really small animals living in this environment? And they also sneak into the base's vault and steal Clow alloy?
This situation is amazing!
After a little consideration, Luo Jia decided to use the power of the mechanical legion to find out the small animals that were stealing the Crow alloy.
He gathered his helpers, made some arrangements in the vault, and then began to wait patiently.
...
Two more days passed, just as Luo Jia was about to forget the little animal in the vault, suddenly, the watch trembled quickly, and the coordinates of the vault were displayed on it.
Luo Jia was stunned at first, then copied her coat and ran to the vault, and took up her retinal glasses. As the live video was projected onto Luo Jia's retina, he finally saw the scene in the vault.
Swish ~
A white light was in a panic and climbed along the smooth alloy walls, and entered the only ventilation port in the vault. Since Clo alloy was easy to oxidize, a fully automatic anti-oxidation system was installed in the vault, and this system also provided convenience for the infiltration of small animals.
As the picture freezes, Luo Jia finally saw clearly the appearance of the alloy thief. It turned out to be a little white mouse.
He seemed to be underage, very small and light, but very fast. He bit Clow and alloy with his sharp little fangs and disappeared in the air vent. With his soft and elastic body, he squeezed through the gap in the air vent protective panel.
Swish swish swish swish ~
The Mechanical Legion moved when they heard the news. They were not large robots like Star Wings, but miniature tactical robots and Star Claws.
The Star Claw has eight claws that look like small knives. It walks very much like a spider. The claws can shrink. The shrinking Star Claws are less than a golf ball and can pass through narrow gaps.
Once the claws are unfolded, they can cause enough fatal damage to the enemy. The flexibility of the eight claws is like the exquisite fingers of humans, which can perform the most delicate operations.
In short, the Mechanical Legion is actually different from what ordinary people imagine. Humanoid robots account for a part of them, and there are too many strange robots, all of which are Luo Jia's hidden trump cards and do not appear in the public eye in a noble way.
Da da da da da ~
Star's sharp claws suddenly jumped up from all directions, waving their sharp arms as sharp as a knife, with a fierce attitude, which really scared the little white mouse. He saw him fleeing without a choice, and his two little claws waving from time to time, looking really cute.
"Continue chasing!"
"But don't hurt him, catch me alive!"
Luo Jia was curious about the little white mouse, and his cute and funny appearance made Luo Jia laugh, so he decided to catch him no matter what.
Luo Jia wore retinal glasses, followed the star's claws in his view, and moved all the way, shuttled around in the narrow ventilation duct.
It's amazing to say that. After many twists and turns, the little white mouse found a gap, jumped out of the Star Underground Base, and entered a small ice cave. It seemed that he had dug it himself, for the convenience of entering and exiting the base.
Star Claws continued to chase after them, and the robots were waving their claws in groups, waving their claws, and they almost scared the mouse to pee, with shock in their golden eyes.
A few minutes later, Luo Jia's eyes suddenly became clear. The tunnel dug by the mouse actually connected to another ice cave. The width of this ice cave is more than ten meters, which is obviously not prepared for the mouse. After all, the mouse's body size cannot keep up with the child's fist.
Luo Jia was stunned and sighed in his heart: "The stars had an extremely glorious era a long time ago, and countless top civilizations developed brilliant culture and technology, shining in the entire universe."
"Is this the remains of a civilization, right?"
Thinking of this, Luo Jia hurriedly issued an order to the Mechanical Legion, "Don't attack, let him go, you just need to be responsible for following!"
The Star Claw, who received the order, immediately stopped attacking and changed to a tracking and following the strategy. He followed the little mouse like a large group of reckless mechanical crabs.
