Chapter 8: Robot-like Mining Ships

  "Hmm, it seems you Earthlings place great importance on gold. I used to have 800 tons of this stuff," said Starbrain.

  Ah! This guy actually has gold!

  Liyang slammed on the brakes and stopped by the side of the road, his body tilting to one side, almost falling off.

  "Oh heavens, hundreds of tons of gold! I don't want that much, just give me a few hundred kilograms and that's enough!" Li Yang's excited heart was bursting with joy, his body trembling so hard it felt like he was about to take off!

  "Don't be too happy yet, those things were all thrown away as trash by me!" Xing Nao threw out a sentence that almost drove Li Yang mad.

  "Ah, you good-for-nothing! You're really something else! Tons and tons of gold, just thrown away like that! Now my body doesn't hurt, but my heart aches terribly!" Li Yang threw his bicycle to the ground and clutched at his chest, shouting.

  His face turned purple with rage at this moment, and he almost lost his temper!

  Xing brain took a look at the poor Li Yang and comforted him: "If you want to, you can take my mining ship to mine for gold and silver. It's very easy to get these things. I won't be able to help you with this, as it was always done by the people of Gilisdun Star before. Now they've all been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, so only you can complete this task."

  "Do you still have a mining ship? Why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Yang saw hope again.

  "You didn't ask either?"

  "I'm dizzy! Okay, I admit it's my fault! Now, my dear flying saucer little brother, take me to dig for treasure! I only want gold, a lot of gold, hurry up!" Lei Yang's eyes sparkled with small stars.

  The next moment, Li Yang, who was riding his bike, was suddenly taken to outer space by a flying saucer, leaving only his broken bicycle on the ground.

  An old man collecting scraps saw a young man riding his bike in the distance, and with a whooshing sound, he suddenly disappeared, giving the old man a fright.

  The old man saw what looked like a bicycle lying on the ground and thought, "Could it be that young man didn't want it?"

  He rubbed his already dim and blurry eyes, pulled the simple wooden cart over. Taking a look around to make sure no one was watching, he picked up the bicycle and threw it onto the cart, then took off running while constantly looking back in a sneaky manner.

  Maybe I was seeing things just now, this bicycle is a gift from heaven for him, the old man thought while running.

  After entering the interior of the flying saucer, Li Yang followed the guidance of the star brain and arrived at a cabin. Inside, he saw a large mechanical object that resembled a cargo truck parked quietly. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "This is the mining ship? Why does it look just like a cargo truck?"

  "I am a cargo ship transformed into this shape as you imagined, if you think it's a boat, it can also become a boat. This is the latest technology of the planet Gilisd Town, a mining workship that can change its shape and color like a liquid robot in science fiction on your Earth within a certain range."

  Li Yang's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed: "Wow, robot! Flying saucer brother, I didn't know you had such a powerful trick up your sleeve! What other cool things do you have to show me?"

  "Heh, Leyang, now I only have this workship, nothing else. You quickly get in and operate it to mine, this workship is synced with my star brain, but it needs your command to work."

  Li Yang pulled on the door of the driver's cab in front, but it didn't budge and couldn't be opened. He was puzzled and said, "Why can't I open it?"

  "Hehe, I'll let the mining ship listen to your orders. Now you just need to think about getting on board in your heart, and you can get on."

  "It's so simple!" Li Yang was shocked, he had just thought of getting into the car, and his body was already sitting properly inside!

  He tried again and whoosh! He came out once more!

  Liyang Le's eyebrows were raised and his eyes sparkled with delight, if he hadn't known in advance that this was an alien technology product, he would have really thought he had seen a ghost!

  He thought of the Toyota car that was destroyed by the flying saucer, and wished that it would be great if it became like that. And indeed, this tool ship suddenly transformed into a brand new Toyota car!

  Li Yang sat in the car, looking at it with relish for a long time, his eyes gradually becoming moist. He exclaimed in his heart, "This is not a tool ship, but an omnipotent Aladdin's lamp!"

  "Li Yang, your bicycle has been stolen by an old-looking thief. Do you want me to make him disappear?" Xing Nao reminded just as Li Yang was wiping away tears in the Toyota-shaped tool boat.

  "Lost your bike? Don't bother, I've got a big Toyota now, probably won't need the bike anymore!" Li Yang shouted loudly.

  "Hehe, also, if you want to ride a bicycle, even a mining ship can be transformed into a bicycle for you to ride."

  "No way, bicycles can transform too!"

  Liyang's eyes flashed, and he found that his Toyota was gone. He was riding a bicycle, which was broken and tattered, exactly the same as his own black Flying Pigeon bicycle with a bent frame!

  He suddenly felt a deep sense of loss in his heart and thought that Toyota was still more comfortable, so Li Yanggang went back to the Toyota car again!

  Next, Li Yang was in the cabin of a flying saucer outside the solar system. Relying on his memory, he had the tool ship transform world-famous cars one by one, such as BMW, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, and even domestic QQ, Great Wall, Jetta, BYD, etc., and experienced them one by one.

  Finally, he found that this work boat can become a huge Boeing 747, or it can become a small fruit knife, or even a speck of dust. It can also transform into an eagle flying in the sky, or a person walking on the street. There is nothing in the world that it cannot transform into!

  Surprisingly, the weight of the tool ship can be adjusted arbitrarily with the change in shape, and the storage capacity is almost infinite. The driving method is also extremely simple, and it absolutely obeys commands unconditionally, doing whatever Lei Yang thinks.

  This utility ship has almost the same functions as a flying saucer mothership, except for its lack of time-space jumping ability and extremely overbearing attack weapons.

  It has an extremely small engine like a match head, which also consumes diamonds as power. Although it doesn't have any attack weapons, its body is very sturdy and can run at speeds of around 100 times the speed of light, making high-speed collisions a formidable killing force.

  After having fun, Li Yang transformed into a lovely green Chery QQ shape with his tool boat, and he still felt that this image was more down-to-earth and suitable for his high school student identity.

  The flying saucer was too big and couldn't stay close to the Earth for a long time, or else there would be countless sighting reports in the shortest possible time. It put Li Yang and the tool ship together on a desolate mountain in the Northern Hemisphere, then returned to outer space.

  Liyang was informed that this desolate mountain is located in the hinterland of the Himalayas in western China, where people rarely set foot. After surveying with a star brain, he said there are rich gold mines below.

  Sitting in the QQ car transformed from a mining ship, he saw through the car window that all around were snow-capped mountains, with distant high snow-capped mountains piercing the sky, and under the strong sunlight, they were dyed with golden light, looking majestic and magnificent!

  At this time, in the distant snow-capped mountains, a Sino-US joint mountaineering team was climbing Mount Everest with great difficulty. A team of eight men and two women, totaling ten people, hung on the towering snowy mountain like a group of ants. The cold wind howled, and every step they took was extremely difficult.

  "Oh my god! Down there, on the top of the snowy mountain, it seems like there's a car!" A blonde-haired, blue-eyed female climber put down her monocular telescope and exclaimed loudly in broken Chinese.

  "Xue Li, you're having altitude sickness! Take oxygen quickly!" a robust Chinese man shouted beside her.

  "No, really, there's a car, it looks like... it's... China's QQ car! Amazing, when did Chinese cars become so powerful? It can even climb up to over 7,000 meters of snowy mountains! Everyone look!" The female team member called Xue Li raised her binoculars again.

  The Chinese man stopped in his tracks, took out the binoculars hanging from his neck and looked down at the mountain. Suddenly he felt as if his eggs had been smashed to the ground. On top of the snowy mountain below, there was indeed a grass-green QQ car quietly parked on it!

  At this time, if there was a flying saucer stuck somewhere, it would be acceptable, because the surrounding snow-capped mountains were all cliffs and steep walls, and the possibility of a car climbing up was zero!

  "Crack! Crack!"

  The flashbulbs flashed rapidly, and several team members struggled to take out their cameras in the cold wind to snap a few photos. Suddenly, they saw the small car move, and with a whoosh, it vanished!

  Because of the angle, they couldn't see that the car wasn't gone but had driven into the mountain!

  The team members were shocked and stunned, they generally thought it was just a momentary dizziness or the car was blown into the valley by the strong wind. After watching for half a day, they still didn't see the small car appear again, so they had to continue climbing the mountain.

  "How awesome! The hard stone vaporized in an instant!" Li Yang exclaimed from inside the tool ship.

  "That's natural, Gildrest's smelting technology is also the best in the entire universe." Xing Nao communicated with Li Yang.

  Just now, Liyang was in the QQ car and suddenly thought of opening a mine. The bottom of the car where it came into contact with the rocks appeared a layer of bright purple light screen, and the rocks under the car became invisible as if they had been dissolved. The whole body of the car sank in.

  On the light screen in front of Li Yang, there was a bright image of gold ore veins, which appeared like tree roots. All he needed to do was take a look at these veins and issue instructions to the mining ship, which would then go mining according to his thoughts.

  The car body is well-insulated, with no noise at all, and not even a slight vibration. Li Yang operated the mining ship to move down for about 200 meters, finally contacting the gold ore vein. The rocks continued to evaporate like gas, and the screen displayed the warehouse area where the glittering gold finally appeared!

  At the same time, a large amount of silver, zinc, tin, iron, copper, platinum, lead, tungsten and more than 100 other metals with extremely small reserves also appeared in the corresponding warehouse area, divided into various regions for storage. Li Yang didn't understand much about metal knowledge, but he couldn't bear to abandon anything, anyway, this mining ship's storage capacity was almost unlimited, so he didn't worry about overloading and instructed the mining ship to keep everything.

  Looking at these adorable gold coins increasing in number, Li Yang couldn't help but feel elated and thought to himself: "I'm going to get rich!"

  Feeling Li Yang's joyful mood, Xing Nao also had a kind of strange delight.

  According to what Lei Yang knew from communicating with it, the mining ship vaporized rocks and automatically separated the metals they needed while throwing away the useless ones. Since the mining ship only vaporized the rocks for a very short time, these vapors would soon condense back into a new type of rock, just like before they were mined, but without those precious metals.

  That is to say, the mining ship travels in the middle of the mountain like a small bug, eating and pulling at the same time. If it loses power or the working ship breaks down, Li Yang will definitely be trapped inside the mountain!

  Fortunately, Li Yang learned that even if the workboat was damaged, it would repair itself automatically, and there were enough diamonds on the boat to run for three years, so he finally put his mind at ease.
