Chapter 1015: Fortune and Misfortune

The void is so vast that even a recycler who has traveled all his life can only operate within a part of the known area.

Here, there are countless gold and silver treasures, there are weird things that are difficult to describe in words, and there is also chaos that is incomprehensible and incomprehensible.

Because of this, ocean voyages are extremely dangerous, and even merchant ships must be equipped with certain weapons.

But what Qian Chenghe said is beyond the scope of common sense. Starships are already a collection of the most advanced shipbuilding technologies. What power can dismantle a starship in an instant and then reassemble a new one? ?

If she heard this story elsewhere, Alyssa would probably sneer at it, feeling that someone might have made it up while drinking.

But Qian Chenghe...

Looking at his current state, it really doesn't look like he was making it up.

And for some reason, Alyssa suddenly thought of Li Chengqi after listening to it.

Especially Li Chengqi's ability to use materials to create things that don't originally exist.

But there is no need to talk to Qian Chenghe anymore.

"Since you have met Perla, I am afraid that when I sent the distress signal, Perla was already driven away by my men. Compared with me, you are lucky."

Perla didn't mention this matter, so judging from the time, it should be correct.

This is a painful memory. The starship is the result of Qian Chenghe's lifelong struggle. However, this achievement was torn apart in front of her eyes. Alyssa can understand that he is so decadent now.

Qian Chenghe is not young, and as a human being, he does not have the time or enthusiasm to start all over again.

But this also reminded Alyssa of a terrible question.

Qian Chenghe's starship was dismantled, then mine...

It was obviously impossible to ask Qian Chenghe. He didn’t know what happened next. Alyssa could only force herself to be calm and said:

"Have you not investigated?"

"Why not."

Qian Chenghe smiled bitterly:

“I’ve pretty much exhausted my contacts and can’t find any answers.”

I have said before that for recyclers, the first thing that matters is connections, and the second thing is luck. Anyone who eats this job has a wide range of connections.

Qian Chenghe was a contemporary of Alyssa's grandfather. He was just a few years younger. He was also a ruthless character who had managed to fly around in a starship all by himself. His connections were no worse than Alyssa's.

Alyssa tapped her temple:

"What exactly is the 'big deal' you're talking about?"

Perla also mentioned this word, but she didn't know the specific information. She only said that it was led by Qian Chenghe and it was a lucrative deal.

The relationship between Qian Chenghe and Perla is actually quite good. They have supported each other along the way. Even if Qian Chenghe didn't dislike Perla for being too thorny, Perla didn't dislike Qian Chenghe's bare skin without scales. , the two should have gotten married long ago.

So when Qian Chenghe said there was a big deal, someone as cunning as Perla didn't ask any questions.

When talking about this issue, Qian Chenghe pointed to the newspaper at hand:

"Have you not read the newspaper recently?"

"Um...I've had something happen recently, and I've been a little out of touch with normal society."

After staying in the royalist base for almost a month, Alyssa lost almost all sources of information from the outside world.

Qian Chenghe didn’t ask Alyssa what she was doing, and just said:

"The big news in the past few days is the fight between the Red Maple Republic and the Xuanshui Federation."

"ah?"

The Spinning Water Federation is also one of the member countries of the Star Alliance. It is smaller than the Red Maple Republic in terms of size, but it is not far behind. It is also a country with starship construction technology.

Alyssa's starship was built by the Spinning Water Federation, and this place was also the area where Alyssa and her grandfather had been most active before.

"The big deal you mentioned, could it be..."

"Well, the Red Maple Republic came to see me. They offered quite generous terms and planned to hire my starships. They also expressed their willingness to increase their investment if they could bring more starships."

It’s the Maple Republic again.

Something is really not right in this country.

Alyssa has a very good relationship with the Swirling Water Federation. It is impossible for her to help the Red Maple Republic to fight against the Swirling Water Federation.

Of course Qian Chenghe knew this, so he secretly negotiated with 'Carlos' and asked him to drive Alyssa away, become the captain himself, and let's do big business together.

The Carlos on the starship at that time was no longer the real Carlos. Maybe the Red Maple Republic's request for money to Chenghe was a trap. Carlos on the starship agreed immediately, and then what happened was that Alyssa was driven away. matter.

So, is the Red Maple Republic the mastermind behind this?

But is it necessary for the Red Maple Republic to steal the recycler's starship?

To be fair, as the most powerful country in the Federation of Stars, the Maple Republic has hundreds of starships of its own. Do these three recyclers really need to spend so much energy?

There were more and more questions, and Alyssa suddenly remembered that Eunice said before leaving that she looked forward to the opportunity to cooperate next time...

Could it be that the female fox knew something and didn't tell her?

"Do you know where my starship is?"

"If I could find out I wouldn't be drinking coffee here."

It seems that Qian Chenghe's intelligence ability is not as good as Eunice.

"But this is a neutral space station, and it's very close to the disputed border between the Spinning Water Federation and the Red Maple Republic. If you're lucky, you'll see it here."

There was no point in continuing to ask. Just then the bartender came over with a tray.

Alyssa picked up a data stick on the tray and turned back to ask:

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll just find a place to retire. I don't have the strength to fight again."

"Okay, but I won't let my starship be taken away by others. If there is a chance, I will help you destroy your starship."

"You are really like your grandfather. You do things in a steady manner and no one can find fault with you."

Qian Chenghe waved his hand and said:

"I thought you would shoot me. It seems that I am stingy. Although I don't plan to continue, if you need help, come to me at any time. I still have some connections to use."

"Thank you."

"No, I should thank you."

Qian Chenghe finished speaking and continued to enjoy his cup of black coffee without any sugar. Maybe the bitterness on the tip of his tongue is far less than the bitterness in his heart.

He looks like an ordinary old man now, and he is still alone without children or relatives.

Looking at his current appearance, Alyssa couldn't imagine how her grandfather was in high spirits when he fought side by side with Qian Chenghe.

Alyssa was about to leave when Qian Chenghe suddenly said:

"Since you are going to chase the starship, you must be confident, but I still want to warn you, don't be careless, there are too many things in this world that we humans, us mortals, cannot understand."

"I will be careful. As for what you said about being unable to understand, I don't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate that there are similar beings standing on my side."

Qian Chenghe raised his head in astonishment, but at this time Alyssa had already led people out of the bar and headed straight for the port.
