Chapter 567: Going wild with household appliances
Stones with eyes converged towards the light beam, adsorbing on the mechanical monster.
As the number of stones increased, the mechanical monster's movements became slower and slower.
Seeing the right opportunity, Yan Wu rushed forward again, jumped on the back of the mechanical monster, avoided the sneak attacks of the two air conditioner units, and reached out to forcefully tear off a washing machine door on its back.
The owner of the hardware store pulled out Lao Hei, who had been unconscious for a long time, and then kicked away a rock man who was trying to cling to him. He then jumped off the mechanical monster and retreated outside the light pillar.
At this time, the mechanical monster was still trying to fight the Earthlings in mid-air. Its thirteen tentacles waved like tigers and winds, flying away the approaching Earthlings.
However, there were too many Earthlings in the crater, tens of thousands of them. One Earthling was repelled, and more Earthlings came up.
The mechanical monster was one against many, and gradually fell into a disadvantage. It was covered with rockmen until it could no longer move.
Malu maintained the light beam for a short while, then released the illumination spell, and sat on the ground holding his knees to catch his breath.
In order not to be stuck by those rock people, he was looking at the mechanical monster while running to avoid it.
If the moon hadn't only had one-sixth of the Earth's gravity, Malu would have collapsed from exhaustion with his physical strength.
Fortunately, his strategy worked in the end, and he successfully tied up the mechanical monster by using the phototaxis of the rock people.
…………
Half an hour later, the lighting was restored in the Pink Whale's bridge control room, and the spacecraft's life support system began to operate.
After another five minutes, Malu saw the green light above his head indicating safety turned on, and then took off the frog hood that had been on him for most of the day.
At this time, Yan Wu also came back from the door.
"Is it fixed?"
"No," the hardware store owner shook his head, "The spaceship was damaged in many places. The Pink Whale smuggling group should have had a fierce battle with those dimensional pirates, but that is not the point.
"Ninety percent of the functions of a spacecraft are unimportant. If it breaks down, it will break down. Only the power and energy systems must not have problems."
"Are the power and energy systems of this spacecraft broken?"
"It's not broken, it's gone." The hardware store owner said, "I just went downstairs to take a look, and the energy core and warp pulse engine are gone.
"I temporarily set up a line and connected the circuit to the spare battery I brought, so that the life support system and lighting could be temporarily restored."
"So...the energy core and the engine on the spacecraft were dismantled by those dimensional pirates?"
"It should be like this. Isn't there a big hole left by them in the cabin? And these two are also the most valuable equipment on the entire spacecraft."
"So when they come back, I have to go find them and ask them about the whereabouts of the energy core and engine."
"No need to ask, those things have been sold by them." The one who spoke was Lao Hei who was still in a coma.
She finally opened her eyes, sat up from her seat, and rubbed her sore shoulders.
"Those dimensional pirates never leave their loot overnight, especially valuables. They believe in the ancient tradition of keeping it safe. As long as the loot is not replaced with something they can use, in their eyes it is just A pile of useless junk.”
"That is to say, if I want the Pink Whale to fly again, I have to buy a new energy core and a set of engines?" Ma Lu frowned, "How much will it cost?" "The price of a pulse engine on the black market is about 12 million star coins. Generally speaking, plane spaceships require two engines, one main and one auxiliary.”
"The energy core is about 60 million star coins." Lao Hei had been a smuggler and was familiar with the prices of these things.
Although he was mentally prepared, Ma Lu still took a breath after hearing these two numbers.
In other words, he would have to spend at least another 84 million star coins to repair the Pink Whale. This is not an astronomical repair cost.
The Universe Infinite Canteen has now gradually gained a reputation among visitors from other dimensions. Its weekly turnover has stabilized at more than 10,000 star coins, plus it has contracted the meals for those dimensional pirates.
An additional amount of goods worth 70,000 to 80,000 star coins can be added to the account every month, but even so, it will take almost 60 years to collect the maintenance costs.
Lao Hei saw Ma Lu's confusion and said, "Boss Ma, you can actually choose to sell the Pink Whale."
Yanwu also said, "Those dimensional pirates only took away the energy core, warp pulse engine and the cargo on the ship. The rest of the things were not touched much. As long as they take some time, the damaged equipment can be repaired."
"These things together are worth fifty million star coins." The old gangster said, "It's also a lot of money."
After hearing what he said, Malu's mood improved again.
The Pink Whale was given to Lao Wang by the Dimensional Pirate King after he was impressed by his delicacies. Rounding it off is basically equivalent to picking it up for free.
Therefore, Ma Lu had already prepared the worst for the situation of the Pink Whale. Before arriving, he had thought that the spacecraft might have been completely destroyed in the battle.
The current situation is actually pretty good. The spaceship still has residual value, and it's quite a lot.
After selling it, not only could he repay the money he owed Yanwu, but he could also initially achieve freedom of star coins.
From now on, if you don't just buy all the fun high-dimensional creations in Lao Wang's store, you should at least have no problem filling up the collection cabinet in the basement of the new villa.
Ma Lu couldn't help but feel a little moved when he thought of this, but he didn't make a decision in a hurry. Instead, he asked Lao Hei another question first.
"Didn't you say before that there is no other intelligent life on the moon? So what was it that attacked us outside just now?"
"The violent home appliance is indeed not an aborigine of this planet." The old gangster said.
"What?"
"The berserk appliances are, simply put, ordinary household appliances transformed into primary silicon-based life forms after being transformed by activated energy." Lao Hei explained.
"These modified objects generally have serious tendencies of violence and chaos, but there are people in the black market who are in demand for these things, and occasionally they will post some purchase information."
"So is that guy actually from Earth?"
"Yes, it is also one of the goods carried by the Pink Whale on this return trip. In order to transport it, we also renovated a prison.
"I estimate that the prison was destroyed during the battle, and then the mobster escaped from the spacecraft."
"So that's it," Ma Lu suddenly realized, "No wonder no one was attacked by the pink whale when it docked here before."
Lao Hei was also frightened, "Thanks to you and Boss Yan this time, otherwise I would have died here. To be honest, I really felt like I was going to die when I kept rolling in the roller."
