The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1717: Chapter 1717: Decomposition

Ji You whispered, ”Don’t worry, I will distribute a key to each of you for the laboratory privileges. If I don’t interact with you for a certain period, you can break in at any time.”

Shen Changqing nodded at these words, saying, ”Okay.”

Ji You said, ”When I decompose the materials, I might not be able to spread my spiritual power to assist you, so everything outside will be handed over to you guys.”

Yue Qiguang arrogantly raised his head immediately and said, ”Does Dad need an idiot like you to teach him how to do things?”

Yue Qiyuan said solemnly, ”Rest assured, we’ve got this.”

Chu Jiaojiao stared at Ji You’s face, reluctant to look away, and said, ”Ji You, just rest assured. As long as you protect that face of yours, Jiaojiao will do anything.”

Ji You’s mouth twitched.

Liu Fufeng rested one hand on the deck railing, dug into the Space Button with the other, pulled out a stack of cards, and said, ”Otherwise, shall I predict our luck first?”

Ji You: ”...”

Just as Ji You felt a faint ache at his brows, Shen Changqing said, ”Ji You, leave the outside to us, we can handle it.”

Ji You nodded seriously, and said, ”I believe in you.”

At this moment, Sheng Qingyan lifted his eyes to glance at Ji You, and said, ”You poor dead, haven’t you rambled on long enough? If you have, then get going, people are busy here.”

With that, Sheng Qingyan slung the sniper rifle over his shoulder, found a favorable spot for aiming on the deck, and lay still.

He Bi said, ”You go on.”

Ji You didn’t hesitate, immediately stepped towards the spaceship’s laboratory compartment.

Before entering the laboratory, Ji You changed into an experiment suit and swallowed a stick of low-level nutrition.

She poured it into her mouth without chewing, swallowing it whole.

Honestly, that taste was hard to get down.

After throwing the packaging of the nutrient solution into the recycling bin, Ji You suddenly felt very emotional. In less than two years, she went from relying on the nutrient solution as daily sustenance to having natural food for every meal... After entering the Space Rift, no one had the time to cook, nor the chance to sit down for a slow meal, so they dealt with the nutrient solution daily.

This nutrient solution, whether consumed a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times... it remains insufferably unpalatable, something one could never get used to.

Ji You’s entire face wrinkled like a bun, but after adjusting her mood, she opened the laboratory door and entered.

Meanwhile—

After Ji You finished the nutrient solution and immediately entered the laboratory, He Bi and the others on the spaceship, after discussing the attack positions and strategy, wasted no time, and after getting everything ready without delay, each took out a nutrient solution, filled their stomachs, and began to work.

It should be noted that in this area filled with tight grids, there’s no distinction between day and night; the light remains at a constant level. Even if Ji You and the others tore apart two grid spaces, the lighting wouldn’t change a bit.

Therefore—

To keep track of time, they couldn’t rely on daylight but only on the clock’s recording.

Three minutes later, He Bi asked, ”Has everyone eaten?”

Chu Jiaojiao and others stood up and said, ”Senior, we’re ready.”

He Bi’s voice was very calm, saying, ”If we can break one more grid space this time, it will prove that we can use Yu Gong’s determination to flatten all grid spaces. So the result of this attempt is very important, we must give it our all.”

No one slacked off, nor did anyone try to cut corners...

Chu Jiaojiao and others said in unison, ”Understood.”

Before He Bi initiated the start, suddenly reminded of something, he said, ”Old Niu, can you hear me?”

Old Yellow Bull originally wanted to sleep, but these human little bugs were relentless and didn’t sympathize with the bull. Old Yellow Bull felt helpless, deciding against not working because those people would hit him and threaten him if he didn’t, and the work was so tiring.

Forget it.

He had brought these little bugs onto himself, so he had to deal with them.

Old Yellow Bull reluctantly opened his mouth, ”Moo——”

He Bi chuckled, ”Good boy——”

Then.

He Bi snapped his fingers, and said, ”According to the command, move——”

Simultaneously——

After entering the laboratory, Ji You placed that rubber-like object on the lab table. The thing indeed appeared nothing strange, merely a transparent off-white piece of rubber...

And, as time went by, this rubber seemed to be continuing to solidify.

Ji You dared not delay, following the material handling procedures, she first sealed it to prevent further changes.

Since it was a completely unfamiliar and unprocessed new object, with no prior experiences to refer to, Ji You wasn’t sure if following material handling principles could stop its transformation.

Then.

Ji You cut off a tiny bit, roughly about 1 gram, and began the decomposition.

Then——

Ji You furrowed her brow because, with her current capabilities, she couldn’t decompose its components at all.

This 1 gram of stuff had Ji You trying several methods, but it couldn’t be broken down.

Ji You rubbed her brow hard, for the first time feeling that her skills weren’t up to par.

In the confined space——

Xiao You also had a worried look on her face, [Sister, I can’t decompose this substance either, what should we do?]

Ji You raised her hand, rubbed her brow again, said, ”Let’s keep trying, if it still doesn’t work, we’ll have to temporarily put it aside.”

Xiao You clenched a fist, [Sister, let’s push through, we can do it.]

Just at this moment——

The outside suddenly shook violently, even the laboratory compartment quaked, accompanied by a series of loud rumbles.

Ji You paused her hands, first securing all equipment and materials.

Boom——

Rumble~

The ground shook and the mountains swayed. Ji You even felt the whole spaceship rock, as she frowned, looking out the window, seeing He Bi operating the Mecha, punching the grid wall.

Boom——

Another loud bang.

Followed by Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing...

Crash~

Crash~

Crash~

The fierce shaking, like a raging ocean, interspersed with those slight cracking sounds, filled everyone with immense confidence!

Next——

He Bi led the charge, initiating the attack once more.

Chu Jiaojiao and others quickly followed with their attacks——

Watching this battle, Ji You’s tightly knit brows gradually relaxed; she wasn’t alone. With a group of friends working hard together, what was there to fear?

If there was a failure once, then continue with the second attempt.

Following that, Ji You eliminated all chaotic thoughts, continuing with the second decomposition attempt. Just as she picked up the lab tongs, not yet starting, the Mecha-specialized Space Button she wore against her body suddenly vibrated...
