Chapter 150 A treasure trove more precious than the planet?
The concept of holy relics is very broad.
The various institutions of the empire have different definitions of holy relics.
They may be lost ancient technologies, weapons left by some powerful beings, or even washbasins used by emperors, living saints, etc.
But it must be good things that are worth hiding secretly by the fleet commander.
This fleet levied a twelfth tax on nine planets.
While levying taxes, the fleet commander also followed the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor and completely looted the nobles on those planets and took away their treasures.
For safety, those treasures were kept on giant cruisers.
The most precious batch of treasures were secretly hidden by him, ready to be taken alone.
Among those treasures were holy relics.
The fleet commander did not tell where the treasures were hidden.
His only request was to meet with the governor.
After meeting the governor, he was willing to explain the whereabouts of the treasures.
It seems that this guy wants to use those treasures to save his life.
Ron rushed to the interrogation room and saw the embarrassed fleet commander.
The fleet commander burst into tears as soon as he saw him, as if he had suffered some terrible punishment.
"Governor, as long as you pardon me, I am willing to offer my loyalty to you and tell you the whereabouts of the treasure!"
"Pardon you?"
Ron shook his head:
"What qualifications do you have to be pardoned?
When you ordered the bombing of the upper nest to kill me, why didn't you think that this would be the end?
As for loyalty, do you have that thing?"
This guy looked miserable, but he was actually not hurt.
He cried and confessed a lot of things before the torture began, and then asked to meet with him on the condition of the treasure.
Ron even doubted whether he graduated from the Naval Academy.
This fleet commander was almost a slave of three surnames.
Who dared to accept his loyalty?
"Don't you want to get the treasure?
That's more precious than the planet!"
The fleet commander was a little anxious when he saw that Ron was unwilling to pardon him.
"Of course I want the treasure, but what qualifications do you have to make conditions now?
With your personality, you will most likely hide the treasure on your warship. Now that the warship is in my hands, I will slowly look for it."
Ron glanced at the interrogator of the court next to him.
They are future judges in training, responsible for torturing and interrogating suspects.
"Continue the execution, increase the intensity, even if you die, it doesn't matter!"
After giving the order, he turned and left.
"Stop, you are not allowed to leave!"
Seeing this, the fleet commander became more anxious, and he threatened:
"Even if you find the treasure house, it will be useless. Without a special password, there is no possibility of obtaining the treasure."
He told everyone that if they forced the door without a special password, the hot melt device in the treasure house would be activated, melting all the treasures into ashes!
This is his bargaining chip for survival.
Hearing this, Ron turned around and smiled slightly:
"Thank you for telling me, I have already got the information I want."
All he wanted to know was the approximate location of the treasure house and the situation inside.
As for special passwords, he didn't need them.
Doing so would be more risky, and who knows if the special code has any other uses.
He would rather let the spirit network crack the operating system of the treasure house after finding the location.
Seeing the governor leave, the fleet commander was completely desperate.
But he resolutely did not reveal the matter of the treasure house.
Because that was his only reliance.
The fleet commander believed that the governor would come back to find him again, and he would tell the other party the "special code" without reservation.
Soon, the interrogation came to an end and he was imprisoned.
After that, the torturers interrogated other prisoners.
They needed more interrogation reports for cross-comparison.
On the other hand, Ron asked the machine soul Xiao Ling to search the giant cruiser.
It is not an easy task to find a secret room on a giant cruiser with a length of more than ten kilometers and like a small city.
But the fleet commander has given the answer.
If he secretly hid the treasure, then the treasure house must be in a place that is not monitored.
This greatly narrows the search range.
Xiao Ling only needs to search the blind spot of the battleship's monitoring system.
Soon, Xiao Ling found several blind spots in the battleship.
Ron first sent people to search the blind spots near the bridge, but found nothing.
After that, he sent the search team to search the blind spots in the bottom of the battleship.
The bottom of the battleship is more complicated, with dense pipes and complex cabins like a maze.
Even professional maintenance workers may get lost in it.
It can be said that the bottom of the battleship is similar to a small nest of pipe world.
The mutant creatures or chaos monsters hidden in it are more complex and diverse.
When the search team was searching in the blind spot, they accidentally found several lost maintenance workers.
They had been contaminated and mutated into mutants.
For this reason, the search team had to execute them on the spot.
After that, the search team even eliminated several groups of chaos monsters.
After all, it is a fleet that has been sailing in the universe for a long time, and there are too many places on the ships that are dirty and filthy.
Legend has it that some ships even hide demons deep inside.
It seems that all captured warships will have to be fully purified to eliminate those hidden dangers.
As the number of blind spots gradually decreased, Ron became increasingly nervous.
The treasure house should be hidden in those blind spots.
Or maybe that was a lie made up by the fleet commander to delay?
Fortunately, the search team found the treasure house in the final blind spot.
…
In front of the treasure house gate.
Ron was wearing a gas mask that could block out odor, and his eye windows showed a scarlet light.
"It's really good to hide..."
He looked at the filthy treasure house door and felt a little emotional.
This treasure house was disguised as a pipe sewage outlet.
If you don't search carefully with a purpose, you will never find it.
Tech-priests were busy around the treasury.
They are installing mechanisms for scanning detection and signal enhancement.
The Thunder Guards and other warriors dealt with the mutated creatures and chaotic monsters on the periphery.
Don't let those monsters that suddenly appear interfere with the work of the technical priests.
Zhi~
When the signal strengthening device surrounded by golden energy was activated, Xiaoling's body temporarily left the host and came here.
"Father, have you missed me?"
The golden energy on the mechanical device trembled slightly, and Xiaoling's voice came from the sound generator.
It greeted Ron warmly.
After all, it has not been this close to its father for a long time.
Xiaoling has been hanging out with Kaul and others for a long time, and his behavior and speech patterns have become more and more like humans.
"Hey, hurry up and crack the internal system of this treasure house for me!"
Ron's mind was entirely on the treasure house at the moment:
"Pay attention to the thermal melt device inside. Once activated, it will destroy the contents inside..."
"Oh~"
Xiaoling accepted the order and immediately controlled several surrounding mechanical devices to invade the treasure house's system.
This process was a bit long, and everyone waited quietly.
"Father, the treasure system has been successfully cracked!"
Xiao Ling's happy voice appeared.
Ron woke up with a start. He got up from the recliner and looked at the treasure house:
"You are indeed a considerate little cotton-padded jacket. Has the hot melt device been completely turned off? Are there any special circumstances?"
Afterwards, Xiaoling reported on the relevant situation of the internal system of the treasure house.
I learned from it that the treasure house had no special password at all, but instead had an activation password.
If Ron chooses to believe the fleet commander, enter that password to open the door.
Then the moment he opens the door, the extremely high temperature emitted by the hot melt device will completely submerge him.
Few carbon-based organisms can withstand such high temperatures.
Certain death.
This is the fleet commander's last resort for revenge.
Once he realizes that he has no chance of survival, he will make those who covet his treasure pay a heavy price.
Sure enough, it is not easy for people to reach the top.
The fleet commander's previous appearance was probably half staged. He knew that he was bound to die, so he wanted to take Ron with him to be buried with him.
Fortunately, Ron was more cautious and didn't fall for it.
The treasure house door slowly opened.
Ron walked in on a soft carpet made of the fur of some kind of white cat.
After passing through a several-meter-long passage filled with hot-melt devices.
He finally entered the treasure house.
It was a well-equipped storage facility.
The walls and floors are made of state-of-the-art protective materials to protect the items stored inside from the elements as much as possible.
The various ancient objects in the storage boxes exude a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
The air is still filled with a faint aroma.
It is the flavor accumulated over time, which makes people feel a kind of tranquility and peace of mind.
Ron walked to the deepest glass storage box. Inside was an ancient stone slab engraved with complex words and patterns.
There is a piece of parchment embedded in the middle of the stone slab.
The moment he saw the parchment, he knew what it was.
However, when Ron saw the mark on the lower right corner of the parchment, he immediately exclaimed:
"Good guy, bloody fingerprints, is this thing real?"
