Chapter 1074: Chapter 1073: Weakness
This regulation has always been strictly enforced by all planets. Imagine, if such regulations didn’t exist, what would happen if an enemy spaceship took the opportunity to attack?
Of course, to satisfy travelers from extraterrestrial planets, each planet’s government also has the obligation to protect their spacecraft.
While they couldn’t board the spaceship to examine it in detail, it didn’t prevent the two brothers from getting closer to the spectators.
Dalken’s expression grew increasingly grim. He was an outsider to mechanics, looking at his brother with hope, asking, "Did you notice anything?"
His brother shook his head, exhaling a long breath: "This spaceship definitely can’t be owned by ordinary people. Look," he pointed at the symbol on the outside of the spaceship, "it’s under the special task department of Delmar Planet."
Seeing his brother’s confused look, he said, "In short, this spaceship has significant origins, and it embodies many high-tech achievements."
He sighed again: "You know, the technological level of our planet is far behind Delmar Planet. What’s more, this spaceship is specially made. I bet even on Delmar Planet, its quantity is extremely limited. Besides some top officials, others simply have no chance to come into contact with this spaceship." He glanced at his brother, "No wonder people don’t sell it. Even if it were for sale, the price would be unimaginable. Besides, you can’t even put a price on such an item."
"So, there’s absolutely no way?" Dalken looked desperate.
His brother pondered and finally shook his head, "Anyway, I don’t see any hope."
He added, "Originally, I thought of using the spaceship we produce to impersonate this one. But just look at it, even if I can mimic its appearance, the speed is far from reachable. My nephew, who has compared with such a spaceship, would surely notice its speed."
"Then what should we do?" Dalken no longer had the demeanor of a great businessman, just like a clueless layman.
"Can you persuade my nephew to give up his idea?"
Dalken firmly uttered two words: "I can’t!"
"We have to resort to some despicable means, what do you say?" Facing his brother’s gaze, Dalken hesitantly nodded.
For his son’s sake, Dalken went all out.
No matter what the cost, he was willing to pay it.
The two brothers whispered as they walked, forming a plan against Jiang Cheng and his team.
Jiang Cheng and his companions had no idea they had become targets because of a spaceship.
Finally done! Jiang Cheng cheerfully said as he walked into the room separating Ran and Ba Lv, "This time, we’ve gained a lot."
"What have we gained? Hurry up and tell us," Xi Cao inquired, handing Jiang Cheng a glass of water.
Ye nodded slightly, took a sip of water, and then said, "I confirmed that there’s a planet where my coordinates are stored. As long as I get there, I can find the route leading to Earth."
He sighed: "Having been away for so long, I find myself really missing Earth. What should we do?" Ba Lvluo said, with Guo Ran showing a concerned expression from the side.
"You? Of course, you’ll go with me. Should I leave you on some planet?" Ye laughed.
"What are we waiting for? Let’s get going!" Ba Lv stood up.
Ran was also very determined and told Jiang Cheng, "All the necessary supplies are prepared. Now, let’s go give the spaceship a final check, and then we can depart."
"Great! Let’s go then." Jiang Cheng was in a particularly good mood. Having roamed outside for so long without finding a way back to Earth, there was finally hope now.
When they reached the spaceship, ready to board, a team of soldiers came over and stopped them. "Stop!" the team leader commanded.
Jiang Cheng and his companions paused, looking at them warily.
"Please show your identification." The team leader said.
"What identification?" Jiang Cheng was genuinely puzzled.
Travelers moving between various planets rarely have mandatory identification. The universe is vast, and the distances between planets are so immense, what use is identification?
How do you even verify if those IDs are real or fake?
So, this team leader’s demand left Jiang Cheng and his companions baffled.
"The relevant documents regarding this spaceship," the team leader said.
"We’ve already presented them to you; otherwise, how could we land legally on your planet?" Ran said.
What Ran said was true. Without the necessary documentation for their spaceship, they wouldn’t have been able to land legally here.
Without the spaceship’s relevant documents, who knows if the spaceship is your own, borrowed, or even stolen?
So, for travelers moving between planets, individuals might not require documentation, but their spacecraft certainly must.
Based on the proof you provided, we verified it with your spacecraft. Your spacecraft is owned by Delmar Planet’s government, yet you cannot provide documentation proving you belong to Delmar Planet’s government."
The team leader added, "So we suspect the legality of your ownership of this spaceship."
"You must be mistaken!" Ba Lvluo erupted as she refuted the team leader’s nonsense.
As long as they have proof of the spacecraft, what does it matter to them who owns it?
Moreover, if there was an issue, why would the relevant authorities have allowed them to land here initially?
"Miss, please mind your words and tone." The team leader remained unmoved, and his demeanor turned stern.
Ran succinctly whispered to Jiang Cheng about Dalken’s attempt to buy their spaceship.
Jiang Cheng understood. Dalken, after seeing that they refused to sell, began plotting to seize it through a conspiracy.
Facing the team leader, Ba Lv didn’t give him any regard. To her, he was just a minor figure. She’s faced far stronger foes.
Just like how Yanran immensely valued the Flaming Firebird, Ba Lv took great interest in a spaceship named after them.
If anyone attempted to take the spaceship from her, she would never agree.
Seeing things escalate between Ba Lvluo and the team leader, with tensions rising, Ye Fen stepped in to mediate.
"I know what’s happening," he said to the team leader. "We will leave now."
"You can leave, but she must stay," the team leader demanded, taking Jiang Cheng’s words as a sign of weakness.
"This lady is suspected of obstructing my official duties and must come with me for questioning."
The team leader remained oblivious to what was happening, not realizing the growing coldness in Jiang Cheng’s expression.
Jiang Cheng originally had a good mood. After two days of effort, he found the correct route to Earth. This discovery turned his wish to return to Earth into reality.
Unexpectedly, when they were heading to their spaceship, a team leader decided to provoke them. Not only did he demand extraneous identification, but also tried to detain Ba Lv.
