Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 49 Pirate Space Station

After entering the dock of the pirate space station.

The first thing Chen Ming saw was the ship positions of different sizes occupied by the entire space arm.

The ratio of frigates to destroyers is about 100:1. There are only two cruiser-level docks, and there is no battleship dock at all.

About one-fifth of these ship slots have spaceships in them. It can be seen that the flow of people in this pirate space station is still very high.

Chen Ming controlled the Iron Ore and followed the signal's guidance to stop at a frigate's berth.

I want to see if anyone will contact me through the communication channel.

But no, no one contacted, no one checked, and no one cared about Chen Ming's boat, which he had never seen before.

It seems that the space station is only responsible for guiding the outside spacecraft in through signals and does not have any follow-up.

This is the pirate space station.

In Chen Ming's memory, although he has never actually been to the Pirate Space Station, he still learned about it through other channels.

There are differences between pirate space stations and mining space stations, which are very professional small space stations.

The main function is similar to those of large central space stations, playing a role similar to a settlement.

Although the overall volume is smaller than that of a large central space station, it is still much larger than a mining space station, and it generally has all the functions it should have.

It's just that Chen Ming didn't expect that the management of a settlement where people can settle down for a long time would be so loose.

But Chen Ming didn't struggle with this aspect.

Anyway, it seems that the dock is peaceful, at least it looks peaceful, which shows that there is still some management in place.

The loose management currently shown by the space station is also good for you, so there is no need to care about it.

Chen Ming looked out the porthole.

There are many spacecrafts taking off and landing throughout the dock.

There happened to be a spaceship docked at the adjacent ship's berth.

Chen Ming could see that the people above were wearing ordinary protective clothing and walking down without even wearing helmets.

Through the transverse elevator on the dock passage, we quickly went to one end of the dock.

A door leading to the inner core of the space station.

There is a huge "1" written on the top of the gate, which may mean that the space arm where the shipyard is located is Space Arm No. 1.

While Chen Ming was observing the behavior of others, the terminal in his hand suddenly detected that a network could be accessed.

Chen Ming thought for a while and used the doctor's terminal to access it.

Then a map of the space station's open areas was sent to the terminal, waiting for Chen Ming to receive it, and it was signed by the Space Station Administration Bureau.

When Chen Ming received this document, his first reaction was not to open it and look at the map of the space station.

Instead, I want to switch to my own terminal to see if my debit card has been banned.

However, Chen Ming still restrained himself. If someone found out about his debit card records this time, there would definitely be a big problem.

Rather than looking for something this dangerous that can't be used yet, it's better to look for something else.

Chen Ming operated on the terminal and opened a search website that was commonly used 30 years ago.

Thankfully the company hasn't folded yet and seems to be doing pretty well.

Chen Ming can use this search website to find news that interests him.

So Chen Ming immediately searched for the situation of the galaxy where Rui Jupiter was located.

A public message immediately appeared at the top of the search.

It is said that an unknown danger has appeared in this galaxy and it has been blocked by the military. It has announced that passing ships must be detoured and it is forbidden to jump out of the hyperspace channel of this galaxy.

The source of this information is 32 years ago, when an insect plague broke out on the space station.

However, 32 years have passed, and apart from the announcement that the galaxy was blocked, the military has not given any other news.It looks like the lockdown will continue.

When he discovered that the military had not issued an announcement on lifting the lockdown, Chen Ming couldn't help but have a question in his mind.

How did he escape from the military blockade?
A civilian ship flew out of the galaxy without being stopped by anyone. Is this normal?
Didn’t the military discover themselves?Or did you find it but didn't care?

Chen Ming felt it couldn't be the latter.

He is just an inconspicuous maintenance technician with no background or connections. If he dies, he won't even make a splash.

There was no reason for them to let themselves go without being sure that they would reveal the current situation of the space station.

So the real situation should be the former.

But this shouldn't be the case. The effects of military technology are clearest.

After all, a lot of their equipment was tendered from outside companies.

Naturally, many of Sinda Company's cutting-edge detection equipment have been purchased by the military.

Although Chen Ming is not engaged in this kind of thing, he still knows the specific effects.

In just one galaxy, there is no reason why the military would miss such a large mining civilian ship.

Not to mention that Chen Ming of the Iron Mine has been using it intensively, repeatedly entering and exiting the atmosphere of Ruimu, so why didn't he find himself?

Chen Ming thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out. He always felt that there was still some key information missing to understand the reasons behind this.

I can only keep this problem in my heart for the time being.

It's not bad news that the military didn't find out, at least for the time being.

Chen Ming continued to search for the situation of the mining space station, trying to search through the empire's exclusive number of each public space station.

But the space station is different from the galaxy. Chen Ming did not find any news related to the space station.

It's like the mining space station where he works is the same as the pirate space station where he is now.

Chen Ming frowned and searched for the Xinda Company to which he belonged.

The first item in the search results is the homepage of Xinda Company, which shows that Xinda is still alive and well and has not been affected at all by the destruction of the space station.

The star system that cannot be erased is still there, and the huge company that cannot be easily collapsed is still there, but the space station that belongs to the star system has completely disappeared.

Chen Ming kept the search results firmly in his heart, and became more determined not to be involved in matters related to the mining space station.

It was almost done here, Chen Ming did not continue searching.

Anyway, I have already planned to give up my past identity, and I don’t want to get in touch with things related to the company, the military, and the space station anymore, so knowing these general information is enough.

Chen Ming sighed, put down the terminal, put on protective clothing, and stood at the door of the cabin.

At this moment, Xiao Shi suddenly rushed out from the captain's cabin and climbed up on Chen Ming's shoulder.

Holding Chen Ming's helmet, he watched helplessly.

"Forehead."

Chen Ming remembered that Xiaoshi was sleeping in the ore hole he dug just now.

He probably ran into the captain's room when he wasn't paying attention, and saw the novel space station outside, so he wanted to follow him out.

"I really can't help you."

Chen Ming took off his protective suit and helmet and stuffed the small stone into the protective suit.

I activated the shading function of the helmet and made sure that my face could not be seen from the outside, and there was a small stone behind the helmet that was squeezed with me.

Chen Ming confirmed that the company's exclusive marks on the two terminals he carried with him had been erased.

Then he opened the hatch and stepped off the spacecraft.
