City: Ocean Mining Ship

"Smart One, Smart One... Open the door to this cabin!"

Zhang Heng looked inside through the glass door. It was about 100 square meters, with a bed and a desk, plus a few bookshelves and cabinets. It was very luxurious. I thought it was the captain's lounge, but it was not these that made him anxious.

Instead, he saw a square metal box with a length and width of about 50 cm, which was placed on the desk.

The whole body was silver, and the first feeling he had was extraordinary.

Is there something precious inside?

This is why he was anxious.

"Puff!"

With a muffled sound, the door was opened.

"Captain, this is the captain's lounge!" Smart One also sounded.

"I guessed right!" Zhang Heng replied casually, a little anxious, and went straight to the desk: "Intelligent No. 1... Do you know what that metal box is? What's inside?" "Captain, except for the public area, the ship's living area is not allowed to be snooped by intelligent programs!" Intelligent No. 1 said very solemnly, and added: "Especially the captain's rest cabin is even more forbidden. You are now the captain of the mining ship, and it is the highest level of instruction. Otherwise, as an intelligent program, you have no right to open the door of any private space cabin in the living area." "Oh..." Zhang Heng probably understood that it was to give the crew the maximum private space: "Wait, I will return to the captain's cockpit immediately." No rash actions, observe first. Then slowly start, gently touch, the skin touches the metal box, a chill hits, other than that there is no abnormality. Only then can I feel relieved. First push and move on the desk, still no abnormality, finally push to the edge of the office, change to lift the bottom with both hands. With one force, the metal box is lifted. The next moment! "Damn..."

Zhang Heng had been prepared, but he still underestimated. His hands were pulled down by gravity. The metal box was too heavy: "My god... it must weigh at least 100 pounds. It's just such a small box. Is it so heavy?"

He took a few deep breaths. He had just put a lot of effort to lift and push the metal box back on the desk.

"I don't believe it. I can't get you into the captain's cockpit?"

Zhang Heng and the metal box were fighting. It was just a hundred pounds. As long as he could lift it, he could get it out. He was not the kind of spoiled rich kid who didn't know the five grains.

He ran around in the fields in the village since he was a child. When he was older, he went to the fields to fetch water and herd cattle, which occupied most of his childhood.

When he was in middle school, he went out to sea with his parents on weekends, driving a small bamboo fishing boat to fish near the coast.

"Hah!"

With a loud shout, he exerted all his strength and was well prepared, and finally lifted the metal box.

With his hands crossed at the bottom, he interlocked his fingers and half lifted and half embraced the metal box.

He took steady steps, his pace was extremely slow, almost moving step by step.

It took a lot of effort to get out of the captain's lounge, find a place to change strength, and then walk out of the living area cabin with difficulty.

"This, this is... is this gold devourer?"

Intelligent No. 1 is everywhere. In theory, it can reach any area of ​​the entire mining ship, except for the restrictions of the living area cabin: "Captain, this is gold devourer, a very powerful metal!"

"Don't talk nonsense... Help me quickly and teleport me to the captain's cockpit!" Zhang Heng was almost angry.

"Swish!"

The next second, his arms were empty and his hands became lighter.

But at this time, he couldn't feel that his hands were his own. After a while, he was a little numb.

"Damn it, I'm so embarrassed!" Zhang Heng cursed in a low voice, and lost face in front of the intelligent program. Fortunately, no one else was present, but he was still thick-skinned. He shook his hands to relax, took two steps at a time, and quickly went to the captain's cockpit. When he entered the cabin, he was asked: "What is gold-eating?" "It is a very powerful super metal. It seems to be recorded in my database, but part of the record is missing. It records that a mineral planet was found in a distant unknown galaxy. The whole planet is composed of a special metal." Intelligent No. 1 first gave a background introduction, and then said: "After mining, many material experts jointly studied it, and finally named it gold-eating, and its full name is swallowing metal." "It has many characteristics, the most special of which is that it eats light, sound, and air, and it can also eat metal. In addition to these characteristics, gold-eating is also a magical metal. For example, its hardness is the hardest of all natural metals found." "And... Captain, the record in the database is not detailed." Intelligent No. 1 was probably too excited and didn't notice that it was gone. "It's the database corruption!"

Zhang Heng had guessed that it was because of the data loss, but he had a certain understanding of the gold devourer, which was enough: "I think this box made of gold devourer is more like a safe, there should be something inside."

"Smart No. 1... do you know what it is?" Zhang Heng asked again.

...
