The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 208 Treasure Chest (Part 2)
Zhou Xiuwen, who was in charge of opening the box, slammed the lid shut, his eyelids twitching: "Am I seeing things?"

“I shouldn’t be mistaken,” Huan Xian said calmly. “If what you see is the same thing I see.”

Are you all alright? You're starting to ramble on and on.

Jiang Hui was the only one oblivious to the situation. She did see the large object inside the box, but the problem was she didn't quite recognize it, and she had no corresponding image in her memory. So, judging by this reaction, what kind of valuable thing could it be?
She didn't know what the item was, but she was still clear-headed. She immediately reminded the two that the item in the treasure chest could only be collected within three stars, and if they delayed any longer, they might not get anything at all.

The two realized they had made a foolish mistake and quickly opened the box to take out the items.

Of the three, only Huan Xian had the largest size military pack. After discussing it, the others put their things in his pack, and he would carry them. In any case, he was the strongest of the three, so anyone else who wanted to take something would have to get past him first.

As they took the items out, the box snapped shut on its own, followed by a click as if something had locked it.

"Hey, Jiang, what are you doing?" Zhou Xiuwen was waiting to continue the previous topic when he saw Jiang Hui observe the half-person-high box with a strange expression, then put her hands on the flat surface of the box and sat down on it.

Zhou Xiuwen: ? ?
After the other person got in, they seemed somewhat satisfied and said, "Let's see if we can hitch a ride... Or do you intend to walk there? We only have a little over a week left here, where can we possibly get?"

How big is this cave? Not only can you not see the end of it, but even the pool of water that you can see in the distance looks like it's several miles, maybe even more than ten miles away. They could run there at their speed, but by the time they got there, they would have spent almost all their time. What would be the point of fighting for resources then? Clearly, they would have to find some shortcut.

She had been wondering why there were so many track-like structures laid out all over the place, and she couldn't quite figure out their purpose. But now, after seeing the treasure chest and how it appeared, Jiang Hui suddenly understood the purpose of all these tracks covering the mountains and fields.

If these tracks can deliver the boxes here, there must also be a way to drag them back. Didn't you see the countdown on the electronic screen?

There's just a slight problem with the fixation... Jiang Hui's thoughts drifted to a dusty item in her pack. "I wonder if it'll work?"

Seeing that the two still hadn't made a move, and that the countdown on the electronic screen was almost over, Jiang Hui urged, "Did you damage the energy of the simulation bra when you fought those guys? How much did you lose? Do you want to go back and recharge it?"

The two quickly shook their heads. Fighting those hotheads wouldn't waste any energy; they were just a little slow to follow Jiang Hui's train of thought. But...it actually made a lot of sense.

"Then hurry up, it seems there are still more than ten stars left, let's come up and try." Everything in this box has been taken out, and it even has an automatic locking function. Jiang Hui would never believe that it doesn't have an automatic return function.

Anyway, let's sit here and see what happens first. If things don't go well, we can jump down. We can't possibly fall off this half-person-high box, can we?

Huan Xian was the first to react. A playful smile appeared on the other's lips as he used one hand to prop himself up and land on the other side of the box, sitting down with Jiang Hui back to back.

Finally, urged by Jiang Hui, Zhou Xiuwen hurriedly climbed onto the box.

He had barely sat down when the box started moving. The sudden acceleration was quite rapid, and even though the three of them were prepared, they were caught off guard and lost their balance for a moment.

Fortunately, Jiang Hui had already found some easy-to-use ropes to secure the three of them, preventing them from falling off the half-person-high box.

"Ah, it's really running. Isn't it a bit slow?" After the initial bewilderment, Zhou Xiuwen quickly recovered from the situation and was looking around. "Slow?" Jiang Hui, with several rolls of rope on his hands, seemed to be doing something and asked in confusion.

"Why did you take out that handheld control holder?" Zhou Xiuwen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Once the bottom is positioned correctly, press the automatic adjustment mode, and a three-dimensional frame will rise from the middle of the box.

Jiang Hui then connected it with the pre-built tripod, instantly creating a temporary fixed space between the three people's waists and the box surface, allowing their bodies to be perfectly positioned on the fixed horizontal bar.

Even the most clueless person could see that Jiang Hui's actions were to prevent the group from easily falling off the box.

The structure is actually very simple: a rigid triangular structure is used to frame the human body and the box surface, and a large frame is used to frame the three people together, forming a whole with the box.

It's not that this thing is particularly effective at securing things. It's quite easy for them to escape; they can simply press the recovery mode or break free through the gap themselves.

However, they had never imagined that the convenient operating frame could be used in this way. Just as they couldn't understand how Jiang Hui could come up with the idea of ​​hitching a ride on these boxes in the blink of an eye, and then make all sorts of preparations without thinking.

The so-called convenient operating frame is an everyday tool that has spread widely in interstellar space.

Even if interstellar humans alter their genes to become stronger and more physically robust, surpassing the limits and levels that previous humans could not reach, humans are still humans after all. Without the genes of other species mixed in, they cannot fly and cannot evolve abilities and organs with animal characteristics.

Therefore, in order to survive in the vast interstellar space, in addition to optimizing genes and expanding the use of brainpower and mental abilities day after day, humans devote more energy to developing various high-tech tools.

This convenient operating frame is one such example, utilizing high-energy nanofission technology and possessing extremely high plasticity.

Its main functions are a fixed instruction architecture, instant standardization, and simple connection setup, which can assist people in performing dozens of high-altitude operations.

In the past, people could only hire professionals or use large aerial work equipment to perform high-altitude operations. With this, everything becomes much easier.

In the original owner's memories, her father used this to suspend himself upside down from a building more than ten meters high while repairing the exterior wall. So using it as a safety anchor now shouldn't be a problem... right?
The results proved to be almost too good.

The treasure chest started at a normal speed, but as time went on, the speed increased exponentially. Once the control panel was in place, Jiang Hui and the others even began to hear the rustling of the wind passing by their ears.

"You said it was slow, but now it's much faster... a slope?!" Jiang Hui's last two words were instantly swallowed up by the howling wind and screams.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh—" The unnamed Zhou on the box was half-vomiting... Quick, quick, put me down, hiccup!
