If Chen Ming's spacecraft is to enter the space station at that time, the military will definitely find out his identity.

If they directly found the record of the Iron Ore passing through the star gate decades ago, as well as the record of themselves passing through the star gate on the company's spacecraft.

That would be exactly the same as Chen Ming's current use of the space station's communication anchor to directly contact the military outpost.

So there aren't many options left.

Chen Ming's gaze returned to the galaxy map he had just opened.

In a small galaxy very close to the galaxy where the military outpost is located, there is also a space station belonging to humans that many people know about.

But it nominally belongs not to the military, but to...pirates.

This is the space pirates' space station.

Of course, pirates are just a general term, and everyone knows how a group of scattered and unorganized criminals can possibly build a space station with complete infrastructure that can be maintained for a long time.

There must be someone funding this behind the scenes, and the person funding it has great power.

Otherwise, how could the military, which is only a galaxy away, turn a blind eye to this space station that is known to everyone who makes a living near this marginal galaxy?

If Chen Ming chooses to go there, there will naturally be danger.

How many good people would choose to go here instead of going to the military outpost?

But correspondingly, the possibility of exposing himself as a company employee and coming from this abandoned mining space station is close to zero.

Although it will take longer to return to the human world, and the pressure to solve the food problem before going back will be greater.

But Chen Ming had no more choices at this time. He didn't want to be involved in the affairs between some big shots because of his identity and background, and die without knowing how he died in the end.

The Pirate Space Station became his only option.

Therefore, in order to solve the food problem, the spacecraft's planting cabin must be utilized in a way.

And the best place to get edible crop seeds…

Chen Ming looked at the planet with interlaced blue, green and purple colors located directly below the spacecraft.

But before considering this matter.

Chen Ming stood up from his chair, opened his hands and leaned on the bridge in front of him.

Chen Ming half manually operated the control panel and half relied on his consciousness to set the flight route for the Iron Ore after leaving the space station.

Let it stay in the orbit around the planet in front of it, keeping a certain distance from the abandoned mining space station.

Can be seen, but cannot be touched.

To prevent bugs from floating over from the space station.

At the same time, it also prevents oneself from losing this extremely dilapidated place in space, which is rich in valuable resources.

Chen Ming had thought about it before leaving the space station.

Compared to those asteroids in space that contain rare minerals, this space station is actually more valuable to itself.

He only had a civilian spaceship for mining, and he lacked everything else.

Collecting minerals from asteroids can only replenish the most basic supplies needed by spacecraft, which cannot be made up by industrial products.

Such as daily necessities, and some tools and materials for spacecraft equipment.

It's impossible for Chen Ming to use the repair kit on hand to make a chip in space.

But it’s different in the space station, which is a place that needs to maintain long-term operation and provide a living environment for many people.

Various sophisticated and professional electronic equipment, various rare metal materials, and various necessities for human life are everywhere in the space station.

Even though the bugs above are very dangerous, Chen Ming cannot just give up or leave.

Even if he just took some iron sheets off the side, it would be more efficient than Chen Ming searching for asteroids with iron resources in space and then smelting them into iron.

So even if he wants to leave, he has to at least wait until Chen Ming gets enough resources from above.

After completing the setting of the spacecraft's orbit, Chen Ming finally completed the urgent task at hand.

The fatal crisis will not appear in front of Chen Ming for the time being, and death will come at least in three months.

And then the key to Chen Ming’s idea was food.

To repair the landing module, Chen Ming had to use the maintenance techniques in his mind and the fact that he could directly open the spacecraft panel.

So now, Chen Ming finally has the time and the need to study the abilities he gained after traveling through time.

Chen Ming focused his consciousness on the spaceship and opened the panel again.

【Spaceship Panel】

[Ship Name: Iron Ore]

[Type: Small civilian mining cargo ship]

[Fuel reserves: 99.8%]

[Port side weapon: 22mm machine gun (damaged)]

[Starboard weapon: 22mm machine gun (in operation)]

[Armor: Aluminum-steel composite external armor]

[Engine: Civilian escort-grade engine]

[Built-in cabins: captain's cabin, engine cabin, work cabin, planting cabin, living cabin, storage cabin]

[Important equipment: bridge control system module (in operation), stance traction module (in operation), life support system module (in operation), artificial gravity module (in operation), landing module (damaged), hyperspace channel system module (missing)]

There is no change on the panel except for the fuel column.

But Chen Ming suddenly discovered something that he had not noticed before.

Chen Ming can click on each column of content displayed on the panel to view more detailed data.

For example, when clicking on the column [Type: Small Civilian Mining Cargo Ship], a more detailed panel appeared in front of him.

[Small civilian mining cargo ship]

[Manufacturer: Cinda Rockwell Shipbuilding Company]

[Length: 33 meters]

[Ship width: 15 meters]

[Ship height: 7 meters]

[ton level: 2000 tons]

[Power source: Civilian-grade fusion reactor]

[Maximum speed: standard speed]

[Spacecraft load-bearing point: standard civilian grade (small load-bearing point * 2)]

[Hyperspace Channel System: Carrying]

Looking at the newly emerged panel, Chen Ming quickly searched his memory for several new concepts on the new panel.

Combining his own memory and the content introduced on a small panel that popped up after clicking on these items on the panel again, Chen Ming made a rough summary.

The load-bearing point is a basic component or facility used by the spacecraft to place ship-borne weapons. It protects the spacecraft and prevents the recoil of the weapons from affecting the normal operation of the spacecraft. All ship-borne weapons must be placed on it.

If it is placed somewhere else on the spacecraft, it may easily cause some unnecessary damage during the operation of the spacecraft.

Civilian escort-class spacecraft like the Iron Ore were designed with only two small load-bearing points for installing some small weapons for self-defense.

Military spacecraft, or larger spacecraft of a higher level, such as destroyer-class and cruiser-class spacecraft, can be equipped with more and the load-bearing points of the installation can also be larger.

The standard speed of this maximum speed refers to the maximum speed of a spacecraft traveling in a normal cosmic environment, which is 99% of the speed of light.

This is the standard speed for interstellar travel that all spacecraft in this world, including civilian ships, can achieve.

Of course, for civilian ships to reach their maximum speed requires a long acceleration process.

That's why when Chen Ming was planning the route between the space station and the military outpost, he said that the distance between the two is not large on the scale of the universe, but it is very large for himself.

My spaceship now lacks a hyperspace channel system, and this half-light-year journey is not easy to travel.
