After half an hour.

Howard placed his ID card into the verification area. The machine detected that the key in the card was valid and began the next step of fingerprint verification.

For fingerprint verification, Howard pressed his right hand on the marked area and extracted the fingerprints of five fingers. The fingerprints were successfully matched with the ID card and the fingerprint verification was passed.

Next was iris verification. Howard stood in the designated area, and the scanning device captured his pupils and released a soft beam of light to scan his eyes.

The indicator light turns green and the iris match is successful.

Howard walked into the airport. Jesse walked up to him with a normal expression and said in a low voice, "You are so brave."

If the person behind Howard had passed the verification just now, it would have confirmed that Howard was an imposter, and at that time Howard had wasted the best time to escape. Jesse originally had the opportunity to take Howard away while Arabelle was holding the guard.

"I think I'm a reliable person, and I think you're a reliable person too. Since we're both reliable, then it must be the machine that's unreliable." Howard smiled at Jesse. "Besides, if I run away with you, it might be even more of a problem. Might as well take a gamble."

In fact, Howard was not gambling. First, he believed in Om Messiah. Second, if he ran away and the person behind him could get through, it would be a big problem.

If he cannot pass and stays there, and the people who follow him are also unable to pass, it proves that there is a problem with the machine, which is the best outcome.

If he can't pass and stays, but the next person passes, then there's something wrong with him.

The only person who discovered that there was something wrong with him at the time was the guard. The guard was also a human being, so there was a lot of room for maneuver.

But if he runs away, there won't be much room for maneuver, regardless of whether the subsequent people pass the verification.

This is equivalent to telling the forces behind the airport that they have been infiltrated, and Arabel's safety will also be a problem after they escape.

If he stayed, there might be two possible outcomes, one good and one bad, and the bad outcome had a lower expected value. If he ran away, apart from temporarily ensuring his own safety, the other outcomes would be unpredictable without exception.

Jesse did not comment on Howard's risky behavior. He had already attracted some attention. The best thing to do now was to leave the scene quickly and quietly.

When passing by a pillar, Arabelle, who was leaning against the pillar, also "followed" and Jesse continued to lead the two towards the target area.

The cross-sections of the airport and the sky elevator are both circular. The large ring of the airport is placed on the small ring of the space elevator. Although the diameter of the ring is amazing, its width is only a few kilometers. If he walks in a straight line, it won't take long for Howard to reach the outer edge of the airport, which is the dock used to dock and dock spacecraft.

At this time, the Parasos had arrived and was docking. Many workers and vehicles in the airport had gathered in front of the dock to prepare for the handover.

The humming sound of machinery was heard, and the closed door of the dock slowly closed. Because when docking with the spacecraft, the docking part will be directly exposed to the vacuum, an additional closed door is needed to prevent air loss.

Almost half an hour after the closed door was closed, a subtle and silent collision sound was heard, and at the same time, the ground trembled slightly, indicating that the spacecraft had docked into the dock and completed the docking.

Next was the sound of air being released, and the sealed aisle formed after the airport re-docking with the spacecraft behind the closed door was filled with gas until the pressure on both sides was the same.

The closed door of the airport was reopened, and the hatch of the docking area of the Parasos was also opened, and the two groups of personnel began the handover work.

Jesse and the other three waited on the side until he spotted his target: a worker pushing a cart loaded with goods. He quickly followed him, walking side by side without saying a word, and then waved to Howard and Arabelle to follow.

The three of them followed him to the picking warehouse. The man unloaded the things in the car, and another worker waiting there began to sort them.

The workers opened the original boxes, revealing some more carefully packaged products, mostly food, spices and dried plant seeds.

These things were weighed and registered one by one. Jesse, Howard and Ala Quilt watched from the side, and the worker did not seem to care about the onlookers, and just focused on his own work.

It took almost an hour to complete the sorting of the goods in the truck. Different types of goods were placed on different conveyor belts and sent to the next level for more detailed processing, while the original packaging boxes were thrown aside casually waiting to be recycled.

According to normal procedures, these used packaging boxes will be transported away and compressed into cubes with other garbage, and then directly delivered to the garbage disposal plant at the bottom nest.

After the worker left, Jesse found a cart, stacked the empty boxes together, threw a lot of packaging shells on top, and pushed it out of the sorting warehouse. Now he was the one who handled the garbage.

Then Jesse blatantly pushed the garbage truck back to the gate where he came in. The person in charge of inspecting cargo leaving the airport just took a quick look and let the garbage truck through. Howard and Arabelle also swiped the gate again to go out.

Finally, Jesse stopped in an empty corner. He took out a special flashlight and shone it on the surface of the boxes. Finally, purple marks appeared on the surface of several boxes.

Jesse picked out the boxes separately and placed them on the ground, then he reached in and opened the secret buckle at the bottom of the box.

These marked boxes have secret compartments about 15 centimeters high at the bottom. Hiding things in this way is the most primitive method, but when the upper and lower parts of a link are connected, the most primitive method is the most effective method.

Because only those who are unable to get through the connections will spend a lot of time and effort to improve and modify their smuggling techniques.

"Please check it out," Jesse said to Howard.

Howard checked the contents of the three boxes. Two of them contained vacuum-sealed vegetables and seasonings, and the bottom of the last box contained flattened bags of flour.

Howard took out the bag of flour, opened it and took a look. It was indeed of the highest quality.

"No problem," Howard replied.

In the middle of the night, Howard, who had been busy all day, returned to his residence, took a shower, locked the door, lay on the bed, and then took out the Om Messiah.

"What exactly happened to the detection failure that occurred today?" Howard asked.

Om Messiah: "Master, the pH of your eye secretions is slightly different from that of the rest of this world, being more alkaline. The artificial iris was crafted based on the average pH of this world's inhabitants. Therefore, an hour after you put it on, your eye secretions caused some corrosion to the artificial iris. While this level of corrosion is generally negligible, it did disrupt the pattern of the artificial iris."

Howard: "So the machine wasn't broken, you broke it, right?"

Ohm Messiah: "Master, I didn't damage the detection machine. I just disrupted the information it scanned."

Howard: "Couldn't you just let me pass?"

Ohm Messiah: "In reply to the master, incorrect test records will leave traces. If you fail the first test but pass the second, the incorrect traces may be viewed. Based on my analysis, this is a very dangerous behavior."

Howard didn't continue to ask why Ohm Messiah couldn't delete or correct the error traces, because so many people saw him verify it repeatedly and failed several times, and then in the end you said there was no record of verification errors, which would be even more funny.

"Have you done what I asked you to do before?" Howard asked again.

Om Messiah: "Master, I checked the airport logs and found that a spaceship will depart from Planet Nat in the afternoon of fifteen days from now. Its destination is Mars. I can help you infiltrate this spaceship."

"This is the ship," Howard said.

Fifteen days later, he will leave this planet.
