After confirming that there were no escape pods and any living people, Chen Ming relaxed a little.

I didn't expect that I would feel the welcome from the Pirate Space Station before I even arrived at the space station.

very nice.

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, so the military obviously can't do much about the pirates.

As long as you pay attention, there is a great chance that you can leave here safely.

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

On matters related to these pirates.

Chen Ming thought seriously about the questions he had asked the pirates and the answers he had received.

Although what the pirates said sounded accurate, Chen Ming only intended to selectively believe part of it.

At least the answer given by the pirates to the last question I asked cannot be trusted.

Chen Ming didn't believe that there was any person with his head tied to his belt who would honestly answer questions from the person who was going to kill him when he was basically sure that he was going to die.

No fool would do such a thing.

Even if I was forced to answer under the circumstances, at least half of these ten sentences would be false.

The pirate said that the military and Yu Hui had taken action, causing prices to rise.

This kind of thing can be immediately distinguished as true or false as long as it arrives at the space station, so Chen Ming can choose to believe it, because even if the pirates deceived him, it would be meaningless.

But the pirates said that there was a Hammerhead-class ship equipped with a militarized subsystem that was smuggled in the Dark Cemetery, so Chen Ming had to think about it carefully.

Although he was indeed envious of this Hammerhead-class ship.

After all, as far as Chen Ming knew, the Hammerhead class was a very excellent destroyer under the Sinda company to which he belonged.

Despite having quite thick armor, it still has good mobility.

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

The militarized subsystem mentioned by the pirates further increases the value of this Hammerhead-class ship.

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

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

This Hammerhead-class ship may also be a castrated version, but since it is equipped with a militarized subsystem, it means that it has one more very critical thing compared to other castrated ships.

Spaceship shield.

The ship-borne shield generator is the biggest difference between a military ship and a castrated ship.

A ship without a shield is almost powerless when facing weapons like Chen Ming's electromagnetic javelin.

With the spacecraft shield, even a castrated ship can perform a function close to that of the official version of the ship.

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

However, Chen Ming didn’t think what the pirate had just said was true. It was still unknown whether this Hammerhead-class ship existed.

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

When answering his own questions, he was also praising the Hammerhead in his words, as if he wanted Chen Ming to follow his thoughts and look for the Hammerhead-class ship here.

Chen Ming would not fall for such a low-level trick.

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

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

Look in the cargo holds of the pirate ships to see if there's anything you can collect, then just leave.

Chen Ming controlled the Iron Ore and flew around the wreckage of the three ships several times.

The cargo hold of the Cerberus class was discovered floating nearby.

Except for the appearance that looks a little damaged, the overall structure is very complete.

So the cargo hold was preserved intact after the spacecraft exploded.

The traction device quickly locked the cargo hold and secured 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, with great efficiency.

It’s a pity that if you want to use the mining laser, you must open the side armor of the spacecraft, exposing the fragile equipment inside.

Otherwise, Chen Ming could have chosen to use mining laser in the battle just now. The power of the modified mining laser is not inferior to some ordinary weapons.

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

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

The mining laser had split the cargo hold in two.

The interior of the cargo hold was exposed.

The loss of the artificial gravity module and the impact of the spacecraft explosion caused all the cargo boxes to be scattered in the cargo hold.

Many cargo boxes were damaged by the impact, revealing the goods inside, some of which appeared to be alcohol.

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

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

Chen Ming had seen this kind of manifest on the mining space station, so he was not mistaken. These pirates were really regular freight caravans in disguise.

"Oh."

Chen Ming smiled expressionlessly.

Since the pirate was dead, he had no choice but to accept all the goods.

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

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

Unpack the cartons and start counting the goods according to the manifest.

In addition to alcohol, this caravan's cargo also included some cigarettes.

There's nothing much to say about cigarettes; they're hard currency no matter where you are.

Chen Ming paid special attention to those wines because he remembered the brands of these wines.

A long time ago, when Chen Ming first came to the mining space station to take up his post, he attended a welcome party with the general manager and other colleagues who took up the post at the space station at that time.

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

If I can make a move at the pirate space station, I should be able to make some money.

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

All the goods that were not damaged by the explosion were packed up and sent into the iron ore ship.

It just so happens that the Iron Ore has consumed a lot of materials in the past few months, and the remaining space in the storage cabin can be filled with these. Even if there is no more space, there is still vacant space in the working cabin and the captain's cabin for placement.

There's no need to worry about the Cerberus' cargo hold being able to hold more stuff than the Iron Ore.

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

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

But when Chen Ming saw what was in the cargo box, his hands suddenly stopped moving.

Because the goods in these three boxes were not the tobacco and alcohol written on the cargo list.

Instead, there were some injections filled with pink liquid placed in a transparent low-temperature box.
