Xia Chujian asked Qilu to take over the mechanical intelligent driving of this starship so that it could follow the star cruiser.
After settling this place, Xia Chujian left quietly and returned to the top deck above.
Then, he switched his mecha to close-fitting mode, no longer three meters high, and turned on the concealment function.
She quietly asked Qilu, "How long will it take to scan the entire starship?"
Qi Lu said, "Maybe another half an hour."
Xia Chujian was a bit bored. He walked around the deck a few times and asked Qilu, "Where is the most suspicious? Any clues?"
Qi Lu said, "The most suspicious thing right now is the fourth floor, which is the lowest level of the starship's supply warehouse."
Xia Chujian: "...hiding in the supply warehouse?! These space pirates really have some experts!"
Hiding the stolen valuables in the warehouse where they stored daily supplies was like hiding a drop of water in the ocean.
It’s not that easy to find.
Xia Chujian's heart moved, "I'll go to the fourth floor to take a look."
She returned to the interior of the starship and took the elevator directly down to the fourth floor.
In such a huge starship, the elevator seemed to be unmanned and automatic, which looked a bit weird.
But because the area here is very large and there is no one else around, the monitoring and control systems on the starship are all under Qi Lu's control.
Just like when she first saw the Falcon-class star cruiser at the beginning of summer, she took the elevator up and down and no one knew about it.
Xia Chujian quickly arrived at the fourth floor of the Bodhi Leaf Pirates' Organization's Starship No. 18.
This is the most spacious place in the entire starship.
All kinds of interstellar spaceships, airships, aircraft and flying machines stolen by the pirates, and even some scrapped space fighters, are piled up in a mess on this floor.
And the material warehouse is right in the middle of these ruins.
Five circular buildings stand side by side, and the building materials inside and outside the warehouse are all composite metals that are fire-resistant, waterproof and resistant to chemical corrosion.
This metal is the product of smelting conventional metals and special metals in a certain proportion.
Xia Chujian walked around the five large circular warehouses.
Qi Lu opened the door of the circular warehouse in the middle and said, "Everything here has the same structure. I haven't found anything special yet."
"What do you mean?" Xia Chujian said as he walked in.
Qi Lu said, "They are all circular warehouses, filled with regular supplies."
"Then why do you think this is the most suspicious place?"
Qi Lu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Based on the size and construction materials of these five circular warehouses, Qi Lu can estimate their capacity. However, based on these capacities, one warehouse is different from the others. It exerts the greatest pressure on the floor."
"What is the pressure on the floor?"
"…It's the weight of it. The weight of this warehouse."
"Warehouses have weight? Aren't they just for storing things?"
"Yes, the entire warehouse is filled with things, which has weight. And the floor of the starship has a bearing capacity."
"Qilu's scans revealed that the starship floor's bearing capacity for the other four warehouses is the same, except for the middle one, which is almost pressing the starship floor into a concave arc..."
Xia Chujian suddenly realized: "You mean, there are things in here that are different from the other four warehouses?"
Qi Lu said, "Yes, Master, that's right. However, Qi Lu didn't find anything different from what was in the other four warehouses."
Xia Chujian said, "Then I'll take a look at each one."
She first took a walk around the warehouse in the middle.
Inside are some common daily necessities, such as clothes, shoes and socks, quilts and sheets, various household items, home appliances, and many consumables, such as toilet paper, plastic wrap, etc.
They all looked brand new, with the tags still on the clothes and other items, still sealed in their packaging.
Then we went to the other four warehouses, where we found the same daily necessities, just in different colors and styles.
So what makes the weight of the warehouse in the middle different from the four warehouses next to it?
Xia Chujian returned to the middle warehouse and asked Qilu, "Is there a secret room here?"
Qi Lu said, "The volume scanned inside is the same as the volume scanned outside. There is no darkroom."
Xia Chujian looked at the warehouse and frowned, "Are they really consistent? There's no place to hide a secret room?"
Qilu said: "No, Qilu has scanned it several times."
"Show me the specific dimensions..." Xia Chujian was unwilling to give up, even though she knew that Qilu, as a mechanical intelligence, could not make mistakes in calculations.
Unless its calculation direction is wrong, then it is a logic problem, not a calculation problem.
Qi Lu scanned the measured data and displayed it on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
Xia Chujian looked at Qilu's calculation formula, touched his chin, and said, "Qilu, that's not right. How can you say that the volume scanned inside is the same as the volume outside? - It's obviously different! Look at how big the difference is!"
Xia Chujian became excited.
Qi Lu said, "That's the volume minus the warehouse wall. If you add back the wall's volume, the inside and outside will be the same."
"A wall?"
Xia Chujian looked at the curve of the wall in front of him and tapped it with his fingers.
Qi Lu could hear something different from this knock.
It uttered in a slightly excited childish voice: "Ahhh! Master is so smart! There's something wrong with this wall!"
Xia Chujian: "...You didn't scan the outer wall?"
"We did scan it, but these buildings are identical inside and out. There's no darkroom inside the warehouse, and the building materials used for the exterior walls have electromagnetic shielding properties, so Qi Lu didn't notice."
