Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 47 Goods
The Iron Mine moved closer to the wreckage of the three spacecraft.

After confirming that there was no escape hatch or any living person, Chen Ming relaxed a little.

Unexpectedly, I already felt the welcome from the pirate space station before I arrived at the pirate space station.

not bad.

At least it shows that the military's management is not strict.

After all, pirates can rob so close to the pirate space station and even closer to the military outpost. The military obviously has nothing to do against the pirates.

As long as you pay some attention, you have a great chance of getting out of here safely.

Chen Ming sighed and focused his attention on the present again.

Something to do with these pirates.

Chen Ming thought carefully about the questions he asked the pirates just now and the answers he got.

Although everything the pirate said sounded accurate, Chen Ming only planned to selectively believe some of it.

At least the pirate's answer to the last question I asked was absolutely unbelievable.

Chen Ming didn't believe that anyone with his head in his waistband would honestly answer the questions of the person who was going to kill him when he was basically sure that he was going to die.

There should be no fool who would do such a thing.

Even if you were forced to answer due to the situation, at least half of the ten sentences you said would be mixed with lies.

The pirate said that the military and Yuhui were taking action, causing prices to rise.

As long as you arrive at the space station, you can immediately tell whether something is true or false, so Chen Ming can choose to believe it, because it doesn't make any sense even if the pirates lie to him.

But the pirates said that there was a smuggled Hammerhead equipped with militarized subsystems in the dark cemetery, so Chen Ming had to think about it carefully.

Although he is indeed greedy for this Hammerhead.

After all, as far as Chen Ming knew, the Hammerhead was an excellent destroyer owned by his own company, Sindar.

Even though it has quite thick armor, it still has good maneuverability.

Two fixed medium-sized load-bearing points and two small load-bearing points installed directly in front of the spacecraft make the frontal firepower of the spacecraft quite fierce.

The militarized subsystem mentioned by the pirates has made the value of this Hammerhead even higher.

Because all ships, unless they are civilian-grade, are castrated versions of ships as long as they are sold to ordinary people.

Whether it is the number of load-bearing points, the numerical values ​​of various ships, or even the armor, they have been reduced a lot.

This Hammerhead may also be a castrated version, but since it is equipped with militarized subsystems, it means that it has one more critical thing than other castrated ships.

Ship shield.

The shipboard shield generator is the biggest difference between a military ship and a neutered ship.

A ship without a shield is almost helpless against weapons such as Chen Ming's electromagnetic javelin.

And with the spaceship shield, even the castrated ship can play a role close to the official version of the ship.

It is impossible for Chen Ming not to be greedy for such a ship.

But Chen Ming didn't think what the pirate just said was true. It was still unknown whether this Hammerhead existed or not.

The pirates said they were here to search for the Hammerhead, but it didn't look like they were doing this by shutting down all the ship's systems to hide their actions.

When answering his own question, he was talking about how good the Hammerhead was, as if he wanted Chen Ming to follow his thoughts and find the Hammerhead class ship here.

Chen Ming would not fall for such low-level deception.

Anyway, I just came here to relieve the boredom and mental exhaustion of staying inside the spacecraft for a long time and being able to only do one or two things.

Now that we have found excitement and tried space naval battles, there is no point in continuing to stay in the dark cemetery.

Check the cargo holds of the pirate ships to see if there is anything you can collect, and then just leave.

Chen Ming controlled the Iron Ore to fly several times around the wreckage of the three ships.

The Cerberus-class cargo bay was discovered floating nearby.

Except for the appearance of some damage, the overall structure is very complete.The Cerberus class is a merchant ship after all. The cargo is naturally the most important, and it is normal for the cargo hold to have the strongest protection.

Therefore, the cargo bay was completely preserved after the explosion of the spacecraft.

The towing device quickly locked the cargo bay and fixed it to the side of the spacecraft.

Chen Ming directly used the mining laser to start cutting the cargo hold to prevent anyone from hiding in the cargo hold before the spacecraft exploded.

The modified mining laser cut a hole in the cargo hold almost in the blink of an eye, which was very efficient.

Unfortunately, if you want to use the mining laser, you must open the side armor of the spacecraft, exposing the fragile equipment inside.

Otherwise, you can also choose to use mining lasers to conduct the battle just now. The power of the modified mining lasers is not inferior to some ordinary weapons.

But since the Iron Mine already has an electromagnetic javelin, there is actually no need to do this.

Just when some strange thoughts appeared in Chen Ming's mind.

Mining lasers have split the cargo bay in half.

The interior of the cargo hold was exposed.

The impact of losing the simulated gravity module and the explosion of the spacecraft caused all the cargo boxes to scatter chaotically in the cargo hold.

Many cargo boxes were damaged by the impact, revealing the goods inside, including some items that appeared to be alcohol.

Chen Ming used the traction device to pull a cargo box to the side of the spacecraft.

You can see that in the corner of the cargo box, there is a cargo order engraved on it, with the type and number of the ship transporting the cargo written on it.

Chen Ming had seen this kind of cargo manifest on the mining space station, and there was no mistaking it. These pirates were really disguised as regular cargo caravans.

"Ah."

Chen Ming smiled expressionlessly.

Now that the pirate is dead, he can only accept all the goods as ordered.

After confirming that no one was hiding inside the cargo compartment after it was cut open.

Chen Ming controlled the traction device of the spacecraft to gradually pull all the cargo boxes to the vicinity of the spacecraft, while he personally went outside the spacecraft.

Open the cargo box and start counting the cargo list.

In addition to wine, the caravan's cargo also included some cigarettes.

There is nothing good about cigarettes, they are hard currency no matter where they are.

Chen Ming paid special attention to those wines because he had an impression of the brands of these wines.

When Chen Ming came to the mining space station for the first time a long time ago and took office, he attended the welcome meeting with the director who took office at the same time as the space station and other colleagues.

There was this kind of wine on display at the banquet. Although Chen Ming didn't drink it, he remembered that this kind of wine was relatively expensive.

If you can take action on the pirate space station, you should be able to make a fortune.

After a while, Chen Ming took apart most of the scattered cargo boxes.

All the goods that were not damaged by the explosion were packed and sent into the Iron Ore.

It just so happens that the Iron Ore has consumed a lot of materials in the past few months, so the remaining space in the storage cabin can be filled with these. Even if it can't be accommodated, there is still room in the work cabin and captain's cabin where it can be placed.

Don't worry about the Cerberus's cargo bay being able to hold more things than the Iron Ore.

At this time, there were only the last three cargo boxes floating outside the spacecraft.

Chen Ming took a breath and continued to pick up the crowbar and pry open all three cargo boxes.

But when Chen Ming saw the contents of the container, his movements suddenly stopped.

Because the goods in these three boxes were not the tobacco and alcohol listed on the manifest.

Instead, they were injections filled with pink liquid placed in a transparent cryogenic box.
