Chapter 137 10 billion Galaxy Coins ransom! Golden City, Golden Metal President! (Subscribe)
The Milky Way Galaxy.

This is a binary star system consisting of two stars, a brighter primary star and a dimmer companion star, which move around a common mass center under the influence of their mutual gravity.

There are four planets in the Yinluo galaxy. Yinluo, the mother planet of the Metal Republic, is one of the metal planets. It is silver-white in color and mainly composed of metals such as iron, silver, and nickel. These metals were accumulated during the melting and differentiation process of the original planet during its formation, and are extremely sci-fi.

Three days had passed since they accidentally rescued Eva from the human space pirates. Chu Xu and his party finally passed through the space-time wormhole set up by the Yinluo Chamber of Commerce and arrived at the space station fortress on Yinluo Star.

The entire space station fortress is a slowly rotating giant metal ring with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. It is embedded in a completely transformed metal desolate planet like a ring, shining with silver light.

With warning lights flashing and cargo being carried, the space elevator glides back and forth nimbly on the track on its alloy frame, like a firefly dancing lightly in the thin atmosphere of the planet.

The surface of this space station fortress is armed with very advanced weapons and defense systems, and the heavy laser turrets, ion cannons, space-based kinetic cannons, energy shield generators, etc. scattered on it are displayed without concealment, which is enough to stop any invading foreign enemies.

The surface of the Silver Luo Star surrounding it is covered with a cold metallic luster, which looks like a whole piece of precision etched circuit board from a distance. Every time the shield generator fixed on the surface of the planet is charged, a fleeting light blue arc will appear in the dark night above the planet.

Spectacular!

When Chu Xu first arrived at the space station fortress on Yinluo Star, he indeed felt a strong visual impact.

It is not known how long it will take for the dinosaur civilization on Earth to develop before it can reach the level of metal man civilization.

Xianyue, Liuxing and Baihong were also shocked and looked around curiously, just like Granny Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden.

In order to adapt to the environment of Yinluo Star, Chu Xu and his group temporarily reduced their size to adapt to the local customs. However, their appearance, which was very different from the metal people around them, still attracted a lot of attention.

These metal men have seen many alien creatures, but they have never seen alien creatures like Chu Xu and his friends.

"President! I was so happy to hear that you were safe and sound!"

At this time, a middle-aged male metal man walked over quickly.

"Botta!"

Eva nodded and introduced to Chu Xu and his party that this person was the vice president of Yinluo Chamber of Commerce, Bota.

"Who are these?"

Bota looked at Chu Xu and his group with a surprised expression.

"They are my benefactors. They saved my life from the Bloody Skull Pirates."

Eva explained simply, without revealing the true origins of Chu Xu and his party.

"I see. Since you are the president's benefactors, you are also the benefactors of our Yinluo Chamber of Commerce! Welcome to Yinluo Star!"

Botta's face showed the hypocritical smile that is characteristic of a businessman, but his heart was full of contempt. He had no idea what low-level civilization these alien creatures came from, and they looked like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Suddenly, Botta's whole body trembled, and he felt as if his brain chip had suddenly crashed and was forcibly invaded by an extremely aggressive mental energy. All the stored memories and thoughts were exposed.

This... what is going on?
The memories and thoughts stored in my brain chip have been invaded and stolen?

After a long while, Botta felt that the invading spiritual energy had disappeared, but he had no idea where it came from, and he didn't know who was causing the trouble!
At the same time, Chu Xu had quietly withdrawn the mental invasion of super telepathic perception, and his face remained expressionless.

As long as he wanted, this kind of mental invasion could leave no trace at all, just like a top hacker, so that the target would know that his memory and thoughts had been stolen, but would not be able to find out who the culprit was.

Originally, Chu Xu didn't want to do this, but he vaguely felt that this metal man named Bota was quite resentful and angry about Eva's safe return, so he gave it a try.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

It turned out that it was this guy who revealed the interstellar route for the Yinluo Chamber of Commerce to transport the next batch of goods to the Blood Skull Pirates a month ago.

His purpose was simple, he wanted the human pirates to kill Eva, the president, and replace her with himself.

In the end, Eva survived. How could he not feel resentful and angry?

Although he had glimpsed Botta's memory and thoughts, Chu Xu did not act rashly.

The main reason is that there is no substantial evidence. In such an unfamiliar environment, rashly showing up will only cause unnecessary trouble.

However, it is estimated that it won’t be long before the traitor’s true colors will be exposed.

"President, the Blood Skull Pirates have sent a message asking us to pay a ransom of 10 billion galactic coins to redeem the kidnapped metal captives."

Botta didn't think much about it, just thinking it was his illusion, and then quickly told Eva the latest news.

"One billion galactic coins?!"

Eva was furious. This was simply too much.

The Galactic Coin is the common currency in the Galactic Civilization Alliance, and its exchange rate with the Metal Republic's metal coins is 1:150.

The ransom of 10 billion galactic coins is equivalent to 1500 billion metal coins, which is enough to bankrupt the Yinluo Chamber of Commerce.

"Yes, those damn human pirates have already said that if the ransom is not collected within a week, they will kill one metal captive per day."

Botta shook his head helplessly.

Eva also knew that those vicious human pirates were no joke, and if the ransom was not collected, all the metal captives would be slaughtered one by one.

As the president of Yinluo Chamber of Commerce, she cannot shirk her responsibilities and must do her best to rescue all the metal captives.

"Botta, go tell the Bloody Skull Pirates that I will raise the 10 billion Galaxy Coin ransom within a week, but they must ensure the safety of all the metal men!"

Eva's tone was firm, and the invisible magnetic field around her vibrated more and more violently.

"Yes."

Botta nodded respectfully and then left quickly.

"Mr. Chu Xu, please come with me to meet the president of the Metal Republic. If the president knew that you were from the solar system, I think he would be willing to formally establish diplomatic relations with you."

After Botta left, Eva turned and said to Chu Xu.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Chu Xu nodded slightly, and followed Eva into the space elevator, which went directly to the base on the surface of Yinluo Star.

The entire space elevator is divided into three parts. The first part is the base on the surface, located at the equator of Yinluo Star;
The second part is the mooring cable, which uses carbon nanotubes as cables to connect the bottom base and the top counterweight structure.

The third part is the orbital station, which is located in the space station fortress. It serves as a counterweight to balance the space elevator's own gravity and make the overall center of gravity of the space elevator located in the planet's synchronous orbit.

If such a space elevator could be built on Earth, there would no longer be a need for Chu Xu or Bai Hong to lead the dinosaurs in space jumps. The dinosaurs could go into space on their own anytime and anywhere.

The speed of this space elevator is also very fast. It took only less than an hour to reach the surface base, tens of thousands of kilometers from the space station fortress!

After walking out of the surface base of the space elevator, Chu Xu and his party found themselves in the capital of the Metal Republic - the Golden City.

With the metal giant statue on the central avenue as the center, the silver-gray cement road extends in all directions. The grasslands are flattened, the forests are cut down, and high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain following the extension of the road.

At this moment, the deep night is dyed with colorful neon lights. The highly developed maglev rail and drone transportation network form the arteries of this city, carrying manpower and materials like blood vessels day and night. The labor force and abundant natural resources are combined in the industrial areas surrounding the city in the suburbs, accumulating billions of wealth and establishing this hot land's unshakable status as the capital of the planet.

"This is the capital of our Metal Republic, the Golden City. That giant metal statue is called 'Talos', the god who created us in Metal mythology."

"It is said that Talos created four generations of metal men. The earliest were the black iron metal men, followed by the bronze metal men, and then the most important silver metal men in the Republic, as well as a few noble gold metal men."

Eva introduced.

Chu Xu also sincerely appreciated the charm of the metal civilization. After experiencing a crisis of extinction more than 10,000 years ago, they were reborn in a new star system and developed even more brilliantly.

This is how civilization is passed down from generation to generation, and this is how life continues to thrive.

It is true that in the vast Milky Way and even the even vaster universe, life and civilization are as vast as the sea of ​​stars, and the birth and even destruction of civilizations occur almost all the time.

But every life civilization that has ever existed is like a bright meteor passing through the long night of dark space, and the universe will always remember their light.

A maglev car soon stopped in front of Chu Xu and his party. Although it was a car, it used electromagnetic fields as power and moved in a suspended state. Its speed was much faster than that of ordinary cars.

"President! Great! I thought I would never see you again!"

Sitting on the driver's seat was a petite female metal figure, who was Eva's assistant.

Fortunately, she was on a business trip outside the planet some time ago and was not on this cargo ship fleet, otherwise it would be a question whether she could come back safely.

"I have already informed the Presidential Palace for you, and the President also intends to meet with you. I will take you to the Presidential Palace now."

Chu Xu and his party boarded the maglev train and soon arrived at the Presidential Palace in Golden City.

The metal guards stationed here are all armed with planetary-level biological armor, standing solemnly like sculptures, but anyone who dares to get close to here without permission will be attacked by them.

After going through strict security check procedures, they were allowed to pass.

The vehicle stopped and Chu Xu just got off the car when he saw the gate of the Presidential Palace opened. A 2-meter-tall, burly male metal man walked out. The metal on his body was golden in color. There was no doubt that he was one of the very few nobles among the metal men - the golden metal man.

Only people with gold metal can serve as the president of the Metal Republic. He is not only the head of state who commands the army, but also the head of government who holds administrative power. He holds great power.

"Hello, I am Cape, the president of the Metal Republic. On behalf of the Metal Republic, I would like to thank you for your help."

Cape came in front of Chu Xu and stretched out his hand.

Chu Xu also stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

He could clearly feel that there was an extremely powerful force hidden in Cape's body, and the bio-robust armor on his body was definitely not just planetary-level, but stellar-level strength!

According to Eva, there are currently less than 50 pieces of stellar-level biological armor in their Metal Republic, and all of them are not for sale. They are used as the most important strategic weapons to arm their own Metal Army.

The several metal bodyguards who were responsible for protecting Cape were also wearing stellar-level biological armor.

But external force is still external force. Even though Chu Xu has restrained his aura, Cape and his bodyguards have personally felt the terrifying hidden strength of the other party. I am afraid that even if they were combined, they would not be his opponent.

Who exactly was the other party? Which civilization did he come from? Eva hadn't told him yet, and this was also what Cape was wondering.

After a brief greeting, Cape invited Chu Xu and his party into the Presidential Palace, where a sumptuous dinner was ready.

But when they saw the food at the dinner, Chu Xu and the others felt dizzy.

These metal people eat various metals, ores, and rocks as food, and drink electrolyte solutions such as strong acids and strong alkalis.

Especially natural radioactive objects that contain various radioactive rays, which are as indispensable to them as salt.

Cape could only apologize for this. After all, it was their first time interacting with Chu Xu and his group, and they didn't know their taste preferences.

After learning that Chu Xu and his friends’ staple food was meat from carbon-based animals, Cape asked the kitchen to prepare new dishes immediately.

"This is a native carbon-based animal that originally lived on our Yinluo planet - the silver beast. Although we metal people don't like to eat it, many creatures from other civilizations like to eat its meat. So we built a silver beast breeding farm to export silver beast meat to other civilizations."

As pots of animal meat were brought to the table, Cape enthusiastically explained to Chu Xu and his party.

Judging from its appearance alone, this silver beast is very similar to the pigs of later generations on Earth. It tastes very mellow and full, and its meat is tender, which made Chu Xu and the others praise it highly.

"Then, Mr. Chu Xu, I would also like to ask you, which star system are you from?"

Cape asked straight to the point.

"We are a civilization of dinosaurs from Earth in our solar system."

Chu Xu replied.

"Solar system... Earth's dinosaur civilization?!"

Cape's expression was shocked. He really didn't expect that Chu Xu and his group actually came from the origin star system of the metal civilization!
