Chapter 766 - 767 The Disaster of Compass
A trading ship that is slowly approaching the Star Gate cannot be 100% safe by jumping at close range, so after jumping close enough to the Star Gate, the trading ship sails through the Star Gate with conventional power.
During this period, the trading ship will receive a security inspection from the garrison, and the garrison will send several representatives to board the ship to inspect the goods mainly carried.
Generally speaking, this is one of the busiest stages of trading ships. In addition, another busy time is to pass the security inspection behind the Star Gate. This two-way check allows the space security of the Veron Integration to be effectively managed to ensure that there will be no space pirates.
However, for some unknown reason, the captain suddenly summoned all the crew to the conference hall at this busy time.
At the lecture table in the conference hall, the captain looked at the crew present solemnly and began to talk to himself.
"I think everyone is curious about why I was suddenly summoned at this time..."
"Before answering this question, I want to show you something."
With this, the captain uncovered the object covered by black cloth next to him.
When the appearance of this object appeared in front of the crew, it made them even more stunned.
I thought it was a rare treasure, but I never thought it was a guide compass. Although the compass is expensive, it will not be treated like a treasure.
The crew looked at the captain's very serious face and spoke to them solemnly.
"Yes, this is a compass, which is specially used to guide trading ships to jump."
"As you can see, I bought a new pointing compass. In order to buy this new pointing compass, I have advanced a lot of money."
As he spoke, the captain's eyes swept over the crew like a knife and warned him.
"I solemnly warn everyone present that if you break the compass for any messy reason, don't be surprised. I don't care whether the trading ship has docked or not, and I will kick the culprit off the ship as soon as possible..."
"Do you all understand!" historical
The captain became more and more excited. He recalled that since his voyage and trade, the compass has always been damaged by various accidents, so that he had to pay out of his own pocket and put his money in to buy the compass after the trading ship docked.
At first, the damage of the compass was harmless. Although the guide compass was expensive, it was only relative to the crew. For the captain, the price of the guide compass was equivalent to one of his luxury goods.
The captain of a general trading ship doesn't even bother to replace such a price guide compass, but unlike other stingy people, he is very dedicated.
Unexpectedly, the newly bought guide compass was just used, and it could not be used normally for one reason or another.
As a result, the captain who adhered to perfectionism had to buy a guide compass in a new port and fell into reincarnation, and the trading ship seemed to be cursed by unknown forces.
After accumulating more, the very rich captain also felt very painful.
The captain swore that this was the last guide compass he bought. This time, if any fool accidentally damaged the guide compass, he would kick the broken compass out of the trading ship with the idiot!
Bang!
Because the captain's unconsciously waved tentacles hit the guide compass heavily, which happened to knock the compass to the ground and smashed it. 020
"..."
"..."
There was silence. The crew first stared at the broken guide compass on the ground, and then looked at the captain who was thinking and completely still.
I don't know who broke the silence, only heard a crew call for the captain.
"...Captain?"
"No--! My money!"
The captain who came to his senses knelt in front of the guide compass and let out a hysterical scream.
He can't wait to chop his hand now...
Neither the crew nor the captain realized that the action just now was actually the collector secretly. The reason why the captain thought more and more about it, the reason why he became angry was that the collector in his brain adjusted the proportion of biogenics, so the captain was more irritable than usual.
The overturned guide compass is also a collector parasitic in the captain's brain. When the captain unconsciously waved his tentacles, the collector disguised himself as a bioelectric signal of the brain and sent a series of short body instructions to the limbs.
The tentacles thus turned the guide compass next to the captain to the ground.
The key is that these things are normal in the eyes of the Veron people present, and even the captain himself does not suspect that his behavior is abnormal.
However, in fact, it doesn't count that these Veron people are too careless. After all, who will doubt whether they have a problem? If it weren't for the practical collectors to let their limbs violate the instructions of their brain, I'm afraid that these Veron people will not realize that they are parasitizing themselves in their dreams.
In the field of life, the collectors in each Villon human body build channels and exchange information in this way.
"This captain is really strange. The guide compass is broken. Isn't it just a little cumbersome to cross the star system? It's not that you can't jump without a compass, and you have to use a good guide compass.
The collectors were indignant about the strange behavior of the captain of the Verone.
Collectors need a trading ship to stop in the open space of the star system and launch sublightal individuals to the nearby star system, so the compass, a tool that directly guides the trading ship to jump from one star gate to another in the star system, naturally does not work properly.
In fact, there is no accident. These 'accidents' of the Veron people are just false memories temporarily compiled by the collectors, but it looks unexpected from the perspective of the Veron people.
The captains of other trading ships are too lazy to buy new compasses out of their own pockets. waits to report to the Chamber of Commerce on the departure and ask the Chamber of Commerce to subsidize the new compass, but the captain is very strange or overly dedicated.
"Thanks to him, it's twenty-seven, and he knows how to make trouble for us."
"Don't be too obvious. If we are found, we will have to kill all the Verones of this trading ship."
The collectors have been lurking for so long that although they have encountered intelligent biological hosts with various behaviors, their plans are basically smooth, and now this strange captain is no exception.
Through the radio proliferation and the transit of the tiny individuals disguised as meteorites left by the trading ship, the information of the trading ship was quickly transmitted to the territory of the Zerg.
There is not only a trading ship that transmits information. After these intelligence data are transmitted back to the Zerg territory, they are integrated into the star map by the collectors there, and you can see their current expansion to the door world at a glance.
"Everything is going well. At present, it has expanded to the territory of other fifth classes bordering the Veron Integration Group. Thanks to the sixth class's trade routes, we can unknowingly spread to other fifth classes."
