Chapter 382 - 383 Trading Merchant Ship
A Selin cargo ship drove in the void, dragging a long pulsed tail flame. Its speed was not fast. Although it set sail earlier than the 'mother ship core' launched from Thuring, the low speed was doomed that it could only lag behind the other party, so that it could not see the 'mother ship core' to conquer the whole. The whole process of the satellite.
"How far is it?"
On the bridge, the captain of the merchant ship asked, and his men reported truthfully.
"About three light seconds, not far away." Let me know that we are about to arrive at the destination. Let's get ready to unload the goods.
The captain nodded and gave the order.
"Yes!" In the cabin on the other side, two Selins were marching side by side, holding a list panel recording the goods in their hands, looking at the containers in the cabin.
They are doing the final inventory work. Although it has been highly mechanized, this kind of thing can be done by the machinery. However, because this trade is too important, after the mechanical inventory, the captain also specially arranged a manpower inventory. historical
This is to prevent errors in machinery. As long as it is machinery, there is a possibility of failure. The captain does not want to fall off the chain at this time, and the manpower inventory is to provide a layer of insurance for this trade.
"The amount of goods ordered by Amoeba from the Empire is very large. I think it will be faster to count them separately."
One of them proposed so, and the other looked at the panel in his hand and agreed with his colleague's proposal, so he began to plan. Well, I'm from the left, and you're from the right... Huh? What's the matter?"
Seeing his colleague, he stared at the aisle between the two containers, which was very dark. In order to save costs, not every corner of the ship was equipped with lighting equipment, but only installed on the main aisle, which led to many dark and gloomy corners on the trading ship.
However, these crew members are used to it, just like people who live in hell all year round will not be afraid of hell. The crew members who live in merchant ships all year round can't be afraid of these dark corners.
"It seems that something has just run through there."
"I'll go and have a look."
With that, the crew, who was attracted by the unknown, approached that position and walked into the dark environment.
"How's it going? Did you see anything?"
The Selin, who held the list panel in his hand, was still staying in place, looking at his colleagues shrouded in darkness. Neither of them thought too much. They thought that it was a pet that sneaked into the boat from Xinggang before sailing. This had happened before. At that time, there were a lot of jokes because of suspicion.
"No, there is nothing here."
Looking around, the Selin people who went deep into the dark shook their heads at their colleagues.
"You're wrong, aren't you?"
"I did see it."
Naturally, they were a little dissatisfied when they were questioned by their eyes. The Selin defended their behavior, and the two gradually drifted away. What they did not notice was that after they left, many eyes were opened in the dark, which was enough to shock patients with dense phobia on the spot, and the owners of their eyes were extremely greedy. Staring at the direction in which the two left.
But they didn't take action. They seemed to be waiting for something.
On this side of the bridge, as time goes by, the merchant ship slowly approaches the satellite orbit and cuts into the orbit from the outside at a suitable angle, moving in a circle.
After all this is done, all that is left is to hand over the goods and then leave. Somehow, the captain of the trading ship always feels a little uneasy, but he can't tell where this uneasiness comes from.
"According to the instructions given by Amoeba, as long as the containers are delivered to the planet intact, our trade mission will be completed." The captain is humane to everyone.
Hearing this, a man turned out the planned track map for the captain to observe.
"Captain, the orbital parameters have been adjusted, and a relatively flat terrain has been selected to land the container, which is convenient for those Amoeba officials to collect the goods."
"Thank you for your hard work."
The captain nodded,
There is no problem with this orbital map. With years of experience, the captain doesn't even need to calculate parameters. You can know if there is any error by looking at the cut orbit angle."How's the inventory going?" The captain opened the communication and asked again.
"There is still a small part left, and it will be finished soon."
The captain frowned and looked a little unhappy.
"It's a big trade at the level of civilization. Even a small mouthful of soup is enough for our whole boat to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. I don't want to have any accidents."
"We just need to throw the goods like this and then click. What happened after that is Amoeba's own problem. It has nothing to do with us. Before that, give me more energy and efficiency. Do you understand? If this trade is messed up because of one of you, it will be difficult for all of us.
"I understand. I promise you that it will be solved soon."
The Selin on the other end of the communicator responded humbly. No one would be able to get along with money, let alone make people angry.
At the end of the communication, the captain of the merchant ship looked down at the electronic photo he was carrying with him, which was a group photo of a man and a woman smiling.
The captain sighed.
"After this trip, I can go back to Selene and marry my fiancee. I hope this trade will be safe... Maria, wait for me."
The sense of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger. The captain feels that there is something wrong there. can't figure out where something is wrong, so he just thinks that his sense of worry is at the way, and he also hopes that he is worried too much.
The cabin is doing the final countdown, and the manpower count is a little slow after all, especially when doing this kind of highly repetitive thing, which is not as fast as mechanical.
"Have you finished the examination?"
"Almost."
Selene's answer was a sting of his colleague.
"Hey, don't use such ambiguous words. It's over. It's over. It's endless. What's the situation? If he reports to the captain like this, he will definitely be furious.
"Well, okay, I'll check it for the last time."
"Hurry up."
The inventory work was soon completed with the support of various factors, and the captains did not wait long.
"Captain, the inspection is over, and there is no omission. Each container is full of built-in fuel."
"Then it's not too late. I approve you to start the launch."
Because he was uneasy, the captain impatiently gave the order to release. Although the other crew members were a little strange, they still obeyed the order.
"I understand."
A box of containers was pushed directly from the cargo compartment of the merchant ship. After fine-tuning the propeller that came with the container, a box of huge metal body landed smoothly on the peacer.
"Captain, it's all done."
The crew members who received feedback from each container reported in this way.
"Then we also... huh? What is that?" The captain, who was about to order the transfer of course, was suddenly attracted by the picture on the screen.
The whole planet is moving at this moment, and the silver-white nanomachines on the surface operate together, which is sparkling under the starlight, like an ocean.
