Since the beginning of the mission, Hessiana had been in a daze the whole time. But this was nothing compared to being thrown into an alien spacecraft. After seeing the bridge of the Petrachelys, she really believed that it was a real, tangible, high-tech spacecraft, and it was obvious that Earth could not make such a thing.
"It's real …" Hessiana looked around the bridge, but she did not dare to touch it. She was afraid that if she broke anything, Hao Ren would extort her. Hao Ren's image in her mind had never changed. "Where did you get this thing?"
"There are vampires and werewolves on Earth. Why can't there be alien technology?" Hao Ren replied casually. "And from a common sense point of view, alien technology is more reliable than you fantasy breeds."
Hessiana looked at Hao Ren, stunned. After a long while, she asked, "Are you from Mars? Or the Reach Star? "
From this, it could be seen how different vampires were from traditional vampires. This brat actually knew about Reach Star …
The Petrachelys slowly passed through the passage of the upper crust and then cruised slowly over its surface. The thick, dirty atmosphere and the decaying and decaying image of the upper crust filled the images back with a disgusting atmosphere. The spacecraft flew over a rugged hilly land that looked like rotten meat. There were some scattered geysers in front of them. The filthy hot air gushing out from the geysers made the air in the area dark green. Looking at the hellish scene, Vivian could not help but sigh. "I can't believe there's an entire paradise hidden under it."
"What are you going to do with this crust?" Nangong Wuyue asked curiously. "There's toxic waste water and gas everywhere, and there are mutated monsters. Plus, it's blocking the sun. These things have to be disposed of, but the shelter is right below it … I really can't think of a way to safely remove these things. Even a little bit of it will fall from tens of thousands of meters above the ground. It's not as simple as smashing a hole in the ground."
Lily said without thinking, "Aren't we going to take over the First Born's nervous system? When the time comes, we can reactivate those Heaven's Pillars and get it to retract its crown. How about that? "
Hao Ren flicked her on the forehead and said, "Don't make a fuss. The entire dome will collapse if you do that. There are hundreds of millions of tons of petrified materials here. If the Heaven's Pillar trembles a little, the ecosystem inside will die. MDT, can you find out how to deal with this situation? Is there a profession that specializes in skinning planets? "
"Under normal circumstances, do you think there would be a company that specializes in skinning planets?" "But I can introduce you to a private company with similar functions."
The MDT passed a document to Hao Ren, who was stunned. "Fairy Mining Conglomerate? Why are these guys everywhere? "
"Let me put it this way. As long as there is a business that can make money, there is nothing they don't do. Even if there is no business that can make money, as long as there is a profit, they will join in the fun. Otherwise, how can they become the famous profiteers in the void."
"Oh," Hao Ren said. Looking at the name of Fairy Mining Conglomerate, he felt that something was wrong. "But we are skinning this planet. You want to find a group of miners … Err, are you going to let them dig out the entire crust of the planet?"
The MDT snorted and said, "Yes, they are the most efficient private mining industry in the universe. It is said that there was a small civilization near Arcturus that was threatened by a group of wandering celestial bodies. A large number of giant asteroids were about to destroy them. At that time, they sent out distress signals everywhere. Then a group of mining ships from Fairy Mining Conglomerate happened to pass by. Before the asteroids could hit them, they were all dug out by those bastards. "
Hao Ren was speechless.
He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, thinking that this should be efficient enough. "Okay, it's them then. But is it safe for them to dig out the entire crust of the planet? Once the heavy construction machinery is activated, many of the Heaven's Pillars will collapse, right? "
"They have this technology. They can create a gravitational shield around the entire planet to prevent the broken rock dome from falling," the MDT said.
Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "Well, one last question: How do you calculate the cost?"
The MDT was happy when it heard this. It used a holographic projection to show the structure of the upper crust of Inferno. Layers of petrified rock layers were displayed on the projection in different colors. "Do you know what this is?"
"Rocks."
"Wrong, this is money!" The MDT yelled. "This is the stacked rock layer formed by the remains of the First Born and high-strength secretions. More than 80% of the civilizations in the galaxy can't produce this kind of stuff. Although I don't know what this thing can do, there are venture capital merchants in the universe who are willing to spend a lot of money to hoard this rare product. And this is the most wasteful and tasteless way to use it. Think about those collectors, those who dabble in the arts, those who sell interstellar antiques and jewelry from other civilizations all over the galaxy. Rich people who have money but nowhere to spend it all love to spend it on a bunch of broken stones to put at home and then invite people over to brag about it. Although neither the bragger nor the listener knows what these stones are used for, they will never get tired of it. "
As the MDT spoke, Lily nodded and said, "Looking at strange rocks is an elegant hobby. I usually collect rocks too."
Hao Ren waved her away. "Go away. You want to take half a brick home and lick it when you see it on the construction site. How can this be compared to the hobby of the rich?"
Then he asked the MDT curiously, "Do you think people are willing to spend money on this thing? Rich people are not fools. You can take a pile of rocks and tell them that this is the fossil of a super creature and has a lot of collectible value. They will believe it. "
The MDT smiled and said, "Of course they won't believe it. But what if an inspector signs on the identification?"
Hao Ren suddenly understood what the whole process was all about.
Inspectors were the witnesses, senders, and recorders of civilization. They were the eyes and mouthpieces of the gods. They were the only mortals in the universe who had the authority to appraise and evaluate historical events from the perspective of a bystander (many ordinary civilizations would even regard inspectors as a kind of demigod). However, Hao Ren had no concept of this before.
As long as he could prove it, the petrified material on the surface of Inferno would have great value among certain collectors. You could never guess the world of the rich.
But this kind of proof was nothing to Hao Ren and the entire law of the gods.
He nodded after thinking it through. "I'll let the Conglomerate mine here for free. I'll give them an identification report on the historical value of these 'ores'. They only need to ensure the safety and efficiency of the whole mining process, and at the same time, maintain the planet's orbit. No one needs to pay. Two birds with one stone."
"And in the long run, the profiteers have made a lot of money," the MDT made a strange noise as if it felt sorry. "Tsk, tsk. They even dare to buy ordinary stones, let alone one with the inspector's signature. But the wealth of the pan-civilization sphere is of no value to you. Let those profiteers earn it. We can also owe them a favor. "
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Many times, a favor is more useful than cash."
At this time, a clear voice came from the side. "I haven't seen you for a while. Why have you and Patty become like profiteers?"
Hao Ren looked up and saw Nolan's holographic image standing beside him. He smiled rather conceitedly. "So the inspectors are all big shots. Don't look at me like this. I'm actually very powerful."
"I know." Nolan tilted her head. "I went to Aerym a few days ago and saw the records of the elves in the database. They built a huge statue and monument for the Sun King. I know what you've done."
"You've been there." Hao Ren scratched his head. "I was thinking of asking you to go to my strongholds later. Now it seems that you don't need it. It's in your own database."
Nolan nodded, then suddenly pointed to the console. "I have a question now."
"What is it?" Hao Ren asked.
"Why does this PDA still have to be plugged into me when I'm driving the ship?"
Hao Ren was slightly startled. He turned to look at the MDT. "Yes, now that Nolan is in charge of driving the ship, why do you still want to go up?"
The MDT suddenly felt the danger of the whole machine. It shoved itself into the slot and shouted, "I'm not going! This is my throne! I'm destined to be a warship mainframe in this life. If you dare to pull me out, I'll kill you! "
Hao Ren was speechless.
