Chapter 2083 Entering the Dreadnought?

When Li Wei led his men to leave the Dreadnaught, an inexplicable chill rose from his spine, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him from behind, making him feel uncomfortable. He couldn't help but shudder, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Li Wei shook his shoulders vigorously, trying to get rid of the discomfort. He told himself that it was just an illusion and nothing bad would happen. After all, the worst situation had already happened - Ye Ye and the other two were missing, the energy storage center was bombed, and the warp core was stolen. What could be worse than this?

However, despite his efforts to comfort himself, the uneasy feeling still lingered in his heart. He shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore, concentrating on leading his men to search the area ahead.

Li Wei waved his hand, signaling his brothers to follow him closely, and then walked forward cautiously. They walked slowly in the dim corridor, vigilantly observing the movements around them.

At the same time, after Li Wei and others left, three figures quietly emerged from the ventilation duct. Their movements were extremely agile, like ghosts, without making any sound.

These three people were Ye Ye, Lu Yue and Liu Zhuangshi. Ye Ye used the instant steps after being possessed by psychic power to take them back and forth between various monitoring blind spots, cleverly avoiding the security system on the Dreadnaught.

Their goal was clear - to board the huge Dreadnought. After some twists and turns, they finally arrived under the Dreadnought, just one step away from success.

"How do we get in?"

Liu Zhuangshi widened his eyes and looked up at the endless Dreadnought above his head. His throat rolled up and down unconsciously. He swallowed hard before he asked.

You know, even Li Wei and others didn't have the opportunity to visit the Dreadnought, let alone ordinary people like them. Faced with such a huge monster in front of him, Liu Zhuangshi was completely confused and didn't know where to start.

Just when Liu Zhuangshi felt at a loss, Ye Ye beside him suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Yue silently. Obviously, Ye Ye also had no idea how to enter the Dreadnaught.

As for Lu Yue, he just stared at the Dreadnought expressionlessly, as if thinking about something. After a while, he finally spoke slowly.

"Find a ventilation duct and crawl in."

Hearing Lu Yue's words, Liu Zhuangshi and Ye Ye were stunned. Ventilation ducts? This is such a sophisticated starship, how could there be such a thing as ventilation ducts?

The two looked at each other, and saw deep doubt in each other's eyes. They really couldn't understand why Lu Yue came up with this idea.

Looking at the two people's doubtful eyes, Lu Yue sighed helplessly and explained.

"Don't look at me like that. I can't help it. This is the only solution I can think of right now. Although this starship looks very sophisticated, it should still have basic facilities like ventilation ducts."

"Or a starship of this level must have subsidiary starships. If those subsidiary starships want to take off from the main ship, there must be a take-off platform. We just need to find a hole near the take-off platform and drill in."

Hearing Lu Yue's words, Ye Ye and Liu Zhuangshi nodded.

"We should split up to make it more efficient. This place is blocked by the Dreadnought and there are no cameras. Whoever finds it can just shout quietly."

Lu Yue analyzed calmly, his voice echoing in the empty space.

Ye Ye and Liu Zhuangshi looked at each other and both felt that what Lu Yue said made sense. So, the three of them tacitly chose a direction and started to act separately.

Ye Ye walked cautiously towards the other side of the Dreadnaught, his heart full of curiosity and expectation. When he finally reached the side of the Dreadnaught, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The entire body of the Dreadnought was made of an unknown iron material, and the bright silver surface shone with metallic luster under the weak light, as smooth as a mirror. Ye Ye couldn't help but stretch out his finger and gently scratched it with his nails. He originally thought that he would hear a harsh friction sound, but the fact was completely beyond his expectations.

The skin was like soft tofu, and was easily scratched by Ye Ye's nails, leaving shallow cuts. However, what surprised Ye Ye even more was that when his hand left the surface, the scratches repaired themselves quickly, as if they had never appeared.

Ye Ye stared at this scene with eyes wide open in disbelief. He asked curiously in his heart.

"Tongzi, what material is this? Why is it so magical?"

However, the system's response stunned Ye Ye. It seemed that it was not familiar with this material.

"Ding! I don't know. It could be some new type of material that has emerged, or it could be caused by an incomplete database. We may have more specific information after the system is upgraded."

Ye Ye showed a trace of surprise on his face, and he couldn't help but doubt his ears. In his impression, the system has always been an omnipotent player who knows everything. Is there something he doesn't know?

However, he quickly put this surprise behind him. After all, even if the system did not know the specific information of this material, it did not affect its magic. Just the repair function it showed, and the fact that Ye Ye was completely puzzled by the fact that he could actually scratch the surface metal, were enough to prove the uniqueness and extraordinaryness of this starship.

About ten minutes later, a burst of excited shouts suddenly came from Liu Zhuangshi's side.

"Here! Here!"

Liu Zhuangshi deliberately lowered his voice because he didn't dare to make a loud noise, but this did not affect Ye Ye's hearing at all. His ears and eyes have always been very sharp, so he could naturally hear Liu Zhuangshi's call clearly.

Ye Ye was delighted and hurriedly walked towards the direction where Liu Zhuangshi was, his heart full of anticipation. After Ye Ye arrived, Lu Yue followed closely behind him, and the three of them looked in the direction Liu Zhuangshi pointed.

The overall shape of the Dreadnought is a shuttle, and its surface is extremely smooth, as if it has been polished, without the slightest flaw. If it is reduced countless times, its shape will be like an embroidery needle with a slightly thickened center.

Not only that, the exterior of the Dreadnought was extremely tightly wrapped, with almost no gaps or openings. Whether it was the observation windows, artillery installations, or the engine, which were usually exposed on the exterior, they were all perfectly hidden. Even the location Liu Zhuangshi pointed to was only slightly sunken inwards. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that it was different from other places.

However, in this sunken area, there is a long and thin scratch that is slowly repairing itself. Obviously, this is Liu Zhuangshi's "masterpiece".

When Ye Ye and Lu Yue cast their eyes on Liu Zhuangshi at the same time, he immediately felt a hint of inquiry in their eyes. So he hurriedly explained.

“It’s hollow inside.”

Hearing Liu Zhuangshi's words, Lu Yue was obviously very interested in this discovery. He waved to Liu Zhuangshi, signaling him to come closer. Liu Zhuangshi understood, quickly took two steps forward, then stretched out his hand to grab Lu Yue's waist, and with a little force, he sent Lu Yue up steadily.

Lu Yue opened the crack and threw half of his body into it. After more than ten seconds, Lu Yue waved his hand to signal Liu Zhuangshi that he could let him go.

"This should be the entrance to the garbage channel for domestic waste! We should be able to enter the starship by following this!"

Lu Yue said excitedly, and Ye Ye was also happy to hear that.

"go!"

Without any hesitation, the three of them crawled straight in.

As soon as Ye Ye came in, his eyebrows raised sharply.

This place was not as dark as Ye Ye had imagined. Rectangular green light strips were embedded in the nearby passage walls. The whole place was cylindrical in shape, about fifty or sixty meters deep. At the end was a round door, which was tightly closed at the moment.

Holding onto the handle on the wall, the three of them approached the round door.

"This starship currently has no energy supply. I'm afraid this door can only be opened by force."

Lu Yue looked at the tightly closed door in front of him and said with a wry smile. His eyes slowly swept across the heavy metal door, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Lu Yue turned his head silently and looked at Ye Ye, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Obviously, he didn't have much confidence in whether he and Liu Zhuangshi could open the door, and the only hope seemed to fall on Ye Ye.

Ye Ye shrugged after feeling Lu Yue's gaze, did not say anything, and just took a step forward silently.

Then, Ye Ye suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Meng Meng Yi Xin out of the void like a magic trick. This sudden scene startled Lu Yue and Liu Zhuangshi. They stared at the weapon in Ye Ye's hand with wide eyes and astonishment.

However, Ye Ye did not give them much time to react. He held the Dream Heart in his hand and chopped the gap of the door without hesitation. In an instant, a slight metal collision sound was heard, and the whole space seemed to be shaken.

Ye Ye only felt a strong recoil force passing through the handle of the knife, which made his wrist numb. However, he did not back down because of this. Instead, he gritted his teeth, steadied his body, and continued to exert force.

The good news is that since this is a garbage disposal port, the metal material used is obviously not of high quality. The bad news is that under Ye Ye's fierce chopping, a cut only two centimeters wide appeared neatly on the gate.

Seeing this, Ye Ye took a deep breath and secretly groaned in his heart. He had no idea how thick the door was. If he kept chopping at it alone, he would probably not be able to open the door in two or three days.

Liu Zhuangshi obviously realized this, and after thinking about it, he also joined the ranks of those trying to chisel at the door, but with little success.

Lu Yue looked at the barely visible cut on the door with some disappointment and muttered to himself.

"This kind of material can only be cut quickly with a high-temperature cutter, or it can be roasted at high temperature before being cut. If we use brute force like this, the daylily will be cold before we can get in."

Ye Ye, who was at a loss, suddenly had an idea after hearing Lu Yue's words and asked.

"Use high heat?"

Seeing that Ye Ye was rather confused, and as everyone was now in a stalemate, Lu Yue explained, so it didn't hurt to give a few words of explanation.

"This is a metal with excellent airtightness, and its density is astonishingly high. This metal is usually used for large hatches that need to be opened frequently because it has good sealing and stability. Although the strength of this metal is not very high, it is not easy to cut it open. After all, this door is at least two or three meters thick!"

"However, this metal also has an obvious weakness, which is that it is extremely sensitive to high temperatures. Under the action of high temperatures, this metal will undergo a wonderful change and become as soft as plasticine. This feature enables it to play a unique advantage in certain specific application scenarios."

"However, when traveling in space, the external temperature is often extremely low or even at absolute zero for a long time. This weakness of the metal has become a major advantage. Therefore, it has been widely used in the field of space travel."

"Brother Ye, do you have the ability to control fire? If you can heat up this door, things will be much easier."

Lu Yue looked at Ye Ye expectantly, as if he saw hope of solving the problem in him.

In his opinion, Ye Ye is simply the representative of omnipotence! Maybe Ye Ye has the ability to control fire!

However, Ye Ye shook his head. He really didn't have any abilities directly related to fire! He was just a beastmaster, and all his abilities came from his contracted spirit.

Ye Ye pondered, trying to find a clue related to fire in his ability. Suddenly, he thought of Ying. Ying's lightning ability would indeed bring high temperature when it was used to the extreme, but such a movement was too loud. Ye Ye did not dare to use his full strength here, otherwise he was afraid that Li Wei would lead people to surround them like a hungry tiger and catch them in a jar.

Seeing Ye Ye's expression changing like a chameleon, Lu Yue couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment on his face.

"There's none……"

He murmured to himself, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

However, just when Lu Yue was about to be completely disappointed, Ye Ye suddenly trembled all over as if he was struck by lightning.

"and many more!"

He cried out, and a light bulb went off in his head. Who said he didn't have it?

In front of Ye Ye, the system's inventory suddenly appeared as if it was cast by magic. Among the dazzling array of items, a card shining with a golden color was particularly eye-catching, as if waving to Ye Ye.

Ye Ye stared at the mysterious card, feeling an indescribable expectation in his heart.

"Huh... I'll try my best... maybe it will work?"

He took a deep breath, muttered to himself, and then reached out and clicked the card without hesitation.
