Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 579: Chapter 181 Unexpected Reward, Unexpected Gain_2

No wonder Chen Ming’s fleet was already here several days after the bounty was issued, and no one remained to deal with this thing.

This really is a troublesome bounty.

But recently, whether it was because Chen Ming killed too many pirates or for some other reason, who knows.

In any case, there were no new pirate news passed over from Glasses and Old Wu’s side.

This batch of Zuo Jing criminals are already the only ones nearby with a large bounty left.

The remaining pirates are either too far away, or the bounty is too low, making just enough to cover fuel costs.

So now, Chen Ming didn’t immediately give up, but kept his eyes on the Space Station at the edge of the Star System.

He just couldn’t believe he didn’t have a reliable method to deal with this Space Station.

For this reason, Chen Ming even temporarily set aside his studies.

He watched this Space Station and the data being scanned back by the sensors for several hours together with Gamma B.

During this time, his fleet circled the Star System several times.

Unexpectedly, they crossed paths with the Harmony Company’s fleet that comes for daily inspections.

The other party had heard of Chen Ming, knowing that his fleet significantly improved the security in the Edge Star Realm during this period.

Therefore, after confirming that the Star System had been swept several times by Chen Ming and was safe, the Harmony Company’s ship enthusiastically approached.

They directly sent over some of the information they had just collected yesterday and hadn’t yet shared.

They even provided Chen Ming with a more detailed design blueprint of the Space Station, more comprehensive than the publicly available map.

Then they left to not disturb Chen Ming.

With the blueprints and after several hours of observation by Chen Ming,

good things come to those who wait.

Chen Ming finally discovered that one side of the sensor array on the Space Station was mostly damaged, with only a small part still working.

Although those remaining sensors could detect obvious things like spacecraft engines, other things might not be as certain.

So Chen Ming calculated a trajectory from a certain distance outside the Star System, relying on his Extraordinary creature beside him with computational abilities reaching Star Zone Level.

He directly used a makeshift accelerator to send a robot carrying a Gamma Core toward the Space Station.

It successfully navigated through all the explosives distributed around the Space Station, avoiding the scans of the many damaged sensors.

Then it found a gap on the outer wall of the Space Station.

And that was it.

The bounty ended as Chen Ming made contact with the Space Station’s circuits.

Not counting the journey here.

From the time Chen Ming arrived at the edge of the Star System to when his robot made contact with the Space Station,

it took a total of five hours.

Four hours were spent observing the situation.

Fifty-nine minutes were waiting for the robot to accelerate across.

The remaining problem-solving took a total of one minute.

Chen Ming initially thought there would be a battle between the spaceship and a miniature Space Station, but it didn’t happen.

After the Space Station was completely seized by Chen Ming,

Chen Ming could control everything lifeless on the Space Station.

This naturally included nearly all areas of the Space Station, which were rigged to be completely destroyed by explosives.

In an instant, Chen Ming dismantled all dangerous elements on the Space Station, including the explosives, as well as all weapons, armor, and clothing held by the Zuo Jing members.

He then took over and repaired the control center damaged by the Zuo Jing members.

Successfully controlling the entire Space Station, he sealed off all rooms containing Zuo Jing members.

Some Zuo Jing members, completely disarmed and incapable of resisting, attempted to commit suicide.

But the metal liquid surged out from the nearby walls, engulfing them entirely and firmly restricting their movements.

Even trying to bite their tongues to commit suicide was impossible as their mouths were filled with metal liquid, solidified immediately, not even allowing them to close their mouths, let alone commit suicide.

If they had the ability to suffocate themselves to death, that would be impressive, and Chen Ming would respect that.

Overall, none of the hundreds of Zuo Jing members on the Space Station could make any resistive move under Chen Ming’s spiritual energy.

As for the researchers captured by Zuo Jing,

unfortunately, Chen Ming expressed regret.

It was evident that when Zuo Jing took over the Space Station, they had no intention of leaving alive.

And the cult’s doctrine doomed the researchers to be treated improperly by Zuo Jing.

Therefore, Chen Ming could only help secure the Zuo Jing members near the six surviving researchers who hadn’t been caught and hid in the safe living area of the Space Station.

He inadvertently modified a few handguns filled with bullets nearby.

Then a few minutes later, guided them to a safe living area.

At least there, they could receive treatment from their colleagues and medical robots.

By this point, the entire bounty task was considered completed.

However, right after the incident ended, Chen Ming didn’t immediately contact the Harmony Company people he met before.

Instead, he planned to take some time to study this Plant Research Station.

With the mindset that now he was here, leaving empty-handed would be a waste of his abilities.

Using his spiritual power to control all equipment on the Space Station, Chen Ming learned about the Plant Research Institute’s situation.

After all, controlling a Space Station with a volume the size of two to three cruisers took quite a bit of spiritual power; it would be too wasteful not to take advantage before signing an agreement with Harmony Company to gain some benefits.
