After entering the dock of the pirate space station.

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

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

About one-fifth of these berths have spaceships occupied, which shows that the passenger flow of this pirate space station is still very high.

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

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

But nothing happened. 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 spacecraft outside through signals and there is no follow-up.

This is the Pirate Space Station.

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

The difference between a pirate space station and a mining space station, which are highly specialized small space stations.

Its main functions are similar to those of large central space stations, and it plays a role similar to that of 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 generally has all the necessary functions.

However, Chen Ming had never expected that the management of a settlement where people live for a long time would be so lax.

However, Chen Ming did not dwell on this aspect.

Anyway, the dock seems peaceful. At least it looks peaceful, which means that the necessary management is in place.

The loose management of the space station is good for you, so there is no need to worry about it.

Chen Ming looked out the porthole.

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

There was a spaceship docked at the nearby berth.

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

We quickly went to one end of the dock through the horizontal elevator on the dock passage.

A door leading to the inner core area 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 dock is located is Space Arm No. 1.

Just as Chen Ming was observing other people's behavior, the terminal in his hand suddenly detected a network that could be accessed.

Chen Ming thought about it and connected using the doctor's terminal.

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.

Chen Ming's first reaction when he received the document was not to open it and look at the space station map.

Instead, I want to switch to my own terminal to see if my savings card has been blocked.

However, Chen Ming still restrained himself. If someone found out that he was checking the savings card records this time, there would definitely be big trouble.

Instead of checking for dangerous things that cannot be used, it is better to check something else.

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

Fortunately, the company has not gone bankrupt and seems to be doing well.

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

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

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

It was said that unknown dangers had appeared in this galaxy and it was blocked by the military. An announcement was made to order passing ships to detour and that jumping out of the hyperspace channel of this galaxy was prohibited.

The source of this information was thirty-two years ago, when an insect plague broke out in the space station.

However, thirty-two years have passed, and apart from the announcement that the galaxy has been blocked, the military has not given any other news.

When Chen Ming discovered that the military had not issued an announcement to lift the blockade, a question suddenly popped up in his mind.

How did he escape from the military blockade? A civilian ship flew out of the star system without being stopped by anyone. Is this normal? Didn't the military notice him? Or did they notice him but didn't care?

Chen Ming felt that it couldn't be the latter.

I am just an insignificant maintenance technician with no background or connections. Even if I kill myself, not even a splash will be made.

There was no reason for them to let me go without being sure whether I would reveal the current situation of the space station.

So the real situation should be the former.

But this shouldn't be the case. Chen Ming knows the effects of military technology best.

After all, many of their equipment were tendered from outside companies.

Naturally, many of Xinda Company's cutting-edge detection equipment were purchased by the military.

Although Chen Ming is not good at this kind of thing, he is still very clear about the specific effects.

There was no reason for the military to miss such a large civilian mining ship in just one galaxy.

Not to mention that Chen Ming had been using the Iron Ore at a high intensity, repeatedly entering and exiting the atmosphere of Ryume, so how come he didn't notice him?

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

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

At least it's not bad news that the military hasn't discovered me for the time being.

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

However, the space station is different from the galaxy, and Chen Ming did not find any information related to the space station.

Just like the mining space station where he worked and the pirate space station where he was now.

Chen Ming frowned and searched the Xinda company he worked for.

The first search result was the homepage of Sinda Corporation, which meant that Sinda was still alive and well and was not 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 within the star system has completely disappeared.

Chen Ming firmly recorded the results of the search in his heart, and became more determined not to be dragged into anything related to the mining space station.

That was about it, so Chen Ming didn't continue searching.

Anyway, I have already planned to give up my past identity and don't want to get involved in anything related to the company, the military, or the space station, so knowing these general things is enough.

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

At this moment, Xiaoshi suddenly jumped out from the captain's room and climbed onto Chen Ming's shoulders.

Holding Chen Ming's helmet, he looked at him eagerly.

"Forehead."

Chen Ming remembered that Xiaoshi had just been sleeping in the ore pit he had dug.

It must have sneaked into the captain's room when I wasn't paying attention, saw the novel space station outside, and wanted to follow me out.

"I can't do anything about you."

Chen Ming took off his protective suit and helmet and stuffed Xiao Shi into the protective suit.

I activated the sunshade function of the helmet and made sure that my face and the small stone that was sharing the same helmet with me could not be seen from the outside.

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

Then he opened the hatch and got off the spacecraft.
