Chapter 257 Ecological Observation Space Station

Chen Ming can see from the situation in the database.

Although An Wuping and a bunch of people's identities all have the words "I have a problem" written on them.

And the colony's entry review must know this when receiving identity information, otherwise it will not actively store these identity information in an independent foreign population database.

But even so, this colony is still open to people with unknown identities like An Wuping, and there is no direct notification to the police department to arrest them.

It is obvious that fake identities have become a stable industrial chain in the gray area of ​​the marginal star field.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether there is an industrial chain or not.

What is important is that An Wuping's identity is in the part of the foreign population that cannot be verified by other colonies.

It is for this reason that the owner of the fake identity is restricted when entering some relatively important places in the empire.

So what Chen Ming has to do is very clear.

Although this database has various restrictions, his psychic power has controlled the server of the local galaxy government.

Through the coercive means of psychic power, An Wuping's identity in the foreign population database can be moved to the local people's database.

And in this process, Chen Ming also made up An Wuping's entire past, and deliberately left a record of his disappearance for a period of time.

In addition, a record of a few years of mercenary service was inserted into An Wuping's file, which just happened to explain why An Wuping had the ability to hijack a pirate fleet alone and a set of military power armor after reappearing in this star field.

After these were dealt with.

According to the information that Chen Ming found through some permissions of the 14th Legion.

This data will soon be uploaded through the local database level by level.

The database information of personnel will change a lot every year or even every month, and basically all rely on machine batch review.

The review will stop at the star district level at most, and it will be directly registered above, and there will be few re-examinations.

In general, only the personnel information directly registered in the star district level government database will be reviewed when it is entered into the star field level government database.

Chen Ming now only asked An Wuping to register his identity in a colony of a star system, so the data will be approved once in the star district at most.

From then on, it will basically pass smoothly all the way up.

As long as the identity information rewritten by Chen Ming can be approved once, it can basically be stably and completely retained in the database of the empire.

However, an adult who has never registered in the database and suddenly appeared in the local area, with an abrupt identity information that was entered from beginning to end within dozens of minutes, no matter how stupid the computer is, it is impossible to pass it directly.

The identity registration of locals must be done year after year. Even if the locals have been away for a few years, they can also register in other places.

It is impossible for a local to register for decades and suddenly register again.

So Chen Ming kept the information in the database a little bit and did not upload the identity information immediately.

Instead, while the data was temporarily stored in the database of the galaxy government and the hidden program he designed limited the time when it was not uploaded, he asked An Wuping to go to the local star district government.

After spending a longer time and using the same method to get into the star district government department, Chen Ming controlled the government database again.

And controlled the server of the galaxy government to upload the data.

An Wuping's data was naturally marked as abnormal data by the computer, and it was ready to report to the relevant departments.

However, Chen Ming had already controlled the server at this time, and directly forced to modify the result, so that An Wuping's data passed the review safely and was placed in the local database.

And according to the career of An Wuping he designed, the registration records of each year were also attached.

According to his current understanding, the personnel database records the modification time of each data, not the registration time.

As long as the data can be sent to the database, there is basically no possibility of being discovered by others.

And since they have all passed the review in the population database at the star district level, there will basically be no review as long as they are stored in the database above.

The star domain-level government wants to inquire about the past of a person in a colony within a galaxy in a subordinate star district.

Just think about how difficult it is.

From this moment on, An Wuping's identity has been completely integrated into the empire, at least there will be no problem from the database level.

And in the whole process of doing this, Chen Ming has actually been a little bit nervous.

After all, such an identity that can sneak into the prosperous star domain is something he wanted to get before he determined the full picture of the mining space station incident, but he couldn't get it.

Now he only needs to rely on his ability, and he doesn't even need to use his ability to the fullest, and he can easily get it.

Chen Ming has had this feeling several times, all of which are different from before after his spiritual power became stronger.

As long as he has power, whether it is power in status or personal power, he can do things that he couldn't do when he was weak.

Chen Ming can even get several fake identities in different places in the empire, as long as he wants.

Of course, there is no need for this now.

Chen Ming was just a little emotional.

In short, An Wuping completely infiltrated the empire from that day on, disguised as a bounty hunter who occasionally active in the marginal star field.

Until today.

It is time for An Wuping to be active in the true sense.

The target is the ecological observation space station that was discovered as the base of Zuojing before.

As long as we get there, the rest will be simple.

As Chen Ming's prosthesis, An Wuping can use his psychic power at will.

As long as An Wuping is given the opportunity to contact the space station, even if he cannot directly use some psychic effects that will expose Chen Ming, those psychic powers that will not expose psychic effects are enough.

Chen Ming has made a complete plan.

As Chen Ming closed his eyes and opened them again.

He has transferred his main consciousness to An Wuping.

He is now controlling An Wuping's body, sitting on the Sentinel-class frigate that he bought some time ago and has been violently modified and can be driven by one person.

This Sentinel is very close to the base of Zuojing.

Moreover, the destination happened to be near the edge star field. Although it was not considered an edge star field, the overall development level was not too high.

This resulted in the hyperspace channel nearby being empty most of the time. Only Chen Ming's sentinel was parked here, and it would not be easy to find out what Chen Ming was going to do next.

For this reason, there were many dense hyperspace channel clouds nearby.

And Chen Ming's target at the moment was these rolling, deep purple, flashing purple lightning hyperspace channel clouds.

He needed to take the initiative to break into the clouds and destroy the spacecraft to a certain extent.

Because although his target of this trip was the base of Zuojing, it was an ecological observation space station on the surface.

In such a place, there was no such thing as someone running over there with nothing to do.

After all, this was not an edge star field, not the border of the empire, nor the mining space station where Chen Ming had been.

Mining space stations were close to the border of the empire, with few surrounding space stations and colonies, and they could occasionally provide supplies and repair assistance to passing spacecraft.

But the Ecological Observatory, which does not belong to the marginal star field but to the developing star field, has no reason to help bear these responsibilities.

Unless... a distress signal.

For ordinary people passing by in a spaceship, they have no obligation to rescue when they receive a distress signal.

But for public facilities such as space stations, even if they are not necessarily government-funded space stations, but purely invested by some companies, they must also assume the obligation to rescue when they receive a distress signal.

The same is true for the two colonies that Chen Ming has just acquired. If someone sends a distress signal in the galaxy where the two colonies are located, near the galaxy, or near the hyperspace area to which the galaxy belongs, then Chen Ming has the obligation to ask the colony to send a corresponding rescue fleet.

So what Chen Ming is doing now is to get the attention of this space station to receive the distress signal.

Of course, Chen Ming can't just send a distress signal in hyperspace, because there are too many variables. It's best to send a distress signal after entering the galaxy.

This requires more detailed planning, and it is full of variables, so it's not enough to rely on theory and plan alone. It still depends on his on-the-spot reaction at that time.

Now Chen Ming has only one thing to do.

Just create a little malfunction in the directional cruise system of this tattered Sentinel.

Chen Ming did this, and then the Sentinel drove the autopilot system into the clouds around the hyperspace channel and was completely swallowed by the clouds flashing with hyperspace lightning.

The spacecraft kept colliding and rubbing against the clouds, and because of the spacecraft, hyperspace lightning appeared more frequently and constantly bombarded the outer armor of the spacecraft.

The Sentinel was originally a second-hand spacecraft, and it was still fragile even with the militarized subsystem installed.

Moreover, it was roughly modified. In just a few seconds, a large number of problems immediately appeared in various components of the spacecraft.

First, the central control system of the spacecraft malfunctioned due to the strong electromagnetic interference caused by hyperspace lightning. Chen Ming instantly lost the ability to continue to control the spacecraft using electronic equipment and could only rely on manual devices to adjust the course of the spacecraft.

Then, the fragile outer layer of the cargo hold of the spacecraft, which was deliberately thinned by Chen Ming, was pierced by hyperspace lightning, and a large number of cheap supplies purchased by Chen Ming were all sucked out by the vacuum and disappeared into the clouds.

Some supplies were even destroyed by lightning in front of Chen Ming, and were photographed by the few remaining sensors on the outside of the spacecraft in the hyperspace cloud.

As some armor and hull near the cargo hold were damaged, more and more places on the spacecraft were damaged by lightning.

So much so that the external armor and hull where the life support system was located were gradually destroyed.

As a result, the spacecraft has completely lost its function of protecting people.

If you don't wear protective clothing and other equipment, you will not be able to survive on the spacecraft.

Even in many places inside the spacecraft, hyperspace lightning passes through it from time to time.

The spacecraft is shaking.

But this is the effect Chen Ming wants.

He had already asked An Wuping to wear power armor, and he had also enhanced the protective performance of the modified main control room.

After being beaten by lightning in the hyperspace cloud, Chen Ming used a little psychic power to assist, and drove the spacecraft and successfully escaped from the hyperspace cloud.

Although it escaped, the Sentinel-class was already in a precarious situation.

There were damages and holes everywhere, and it looked like it would disintegrate at any time.

And it was more difficult to navigate in the hyperspace cloud layer than in the outside world, and the fuel consumption rate was inexplicably fast. Before I knew it, the fuel of the spacecraft was almost exhausted.

Because the cargo hold was destroyed, Chen Ming no longer had any follow-up supplies on hand, and the fuel could not be replenished at all.

Moreover, the vacuum of hyperspace is different from that of the normal universe.

There are not only those hyperspace channel clouds visible to the naked eye in hyperspace.

There are also many similar to air, but the Empire has not been able to study the specific properties of a kind of material filling.

Although the specific properties cannot be determined, the Empire can be sure that it is this material that limits the speed of the spacecraft in hyperspace, resulting in an upper limit to the speed of hyperspace navigation.

So the current situation is that there is resistance in hyperspace, the spacecraft is short of fuel, and it is even impossible to accelerate to the limit speed in hyperspace.

The Sentinel can only drift along the gravity well of the hyperspace channel.

And affected by the location specially selected by Chen Ming, the final location of his spacecraft drifting is exactly the galaxy where the ecological observatory is located.

After confirming the result according to the calculation, Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. At least the preliminary preparations were not in vain.

Next, it depends on whether there will be any unexpected situations after the drift reaches the destination.

Taking advantage of the present, Chen Ming simply controlled An Wuping to take the remaining materials and tools on the spacecraft and began to repair the damaged parts on the spacecraft.

Of course, the materials used were the remaining materials on the spacecraft and the materials removed from some less important components.

Moreover, Chen Ming tried to limit his technical level as much as possible, maintaining the level of an ordinary repairman who had studied for several years.

He had to at least repair the oxygen production function of the damaged life support system on the spacecraft, so that the oxygen on the spacecraft would not be insufficient until the end of the drift, and it would be bad if someone discovered the problem.

A few hours later.

As the drift distance became farther and farther, Chen Ming was lucky not to encounter any passing spacecraft.

At this moment, Chen Ming finally saw the star of his target galaxy, which was slightly distorted in the hyperspace due to the influence of its own gravity well, like high temperature burning air.

High temperature burning the air is a kind of irregular distortion, but the gravity well of hyperspace has a regular beauty.

The spacecraft was soon captured by the gravity well, circling the gravity well, and gradually began to fall into its deepest part.

Chen Ming did not continue to observe the details of the gravity well from an unprecedented perspective as he did now.

Since it has been captured by the gravity well, it means that the sentinel has reached the edge of this galaxy in the hyperspace.

He used the remaining fuel to start the hyperspace channel system, left the hyperspace, and arrived at the edge of the galaxy in the normal universe environment.

There is only one planet in this galaxy, that is, the habitable planet with no exploitable resources.

Although it is invisible to the naked eye, the sensor cannot scan the object.

After all, the spacecraft is no different from scrap metal in Chen Ming's eyes.

But Chen Ming knows that his target is in the orbit of the habitable planet.

Since there is no colony in this galaxy, there is no patrol team that has nothing to do.

Only the ecological observation space station above the orbit of the habitable planet has a small fleet that has been approved to protect the safety of the space station.

Chen Ming used the last bit of fuel to slowly accelerate for a distance, and then turned on the distress signal.

A few minutes later, a communication signal requested to access Chen Ming's spacecraft.

Chen Ming immediately connected, and a man in his forties appeared on the screen of the control panel in front of him. He was obviously stunned when he saw Chen Ming wearing a military-style power armor.

But he was only stunned for a moment. After seeing Chen Ming open the light-shielding layer of the power armor mask so that people could see his face, he did not have any other extra emotions.

Or treat this matter as a normal matter and handle it according to the normal process.

"This is the rescue team of the habitable planet ecological observation space station numbered 1091. What help do you need?"

This uncle does not look like a left-handed molecule at the moment.

Although according to the information obtained by Chen Ming, this is a left-handed base, what if there are a few normal people here like the two colonies controlled by Chen Ming?

So Chen Ming would not doubt him for no reason, and did not show much.

He just silently placed a rough inspection report of the spacecraft very close to the camera, so that the other side could see the damaged life support system and the spacecraft hull, which caused the oxygen in the cockpit to no longer exist.

At the same time, in order to maintain An Wuping's current personality, Chen Ming also planned to respond with a "no strangers allowed" look.

But now he was asking for help, so Chen Ming still let An Wuping show an ugly smile.

"When I was in hyperspace just now, the spacecraft system malfunctioned and drove directly into the clouds. I was lucky to barely survive. I will send you my identity information and spacecraft log."

The uncle on the other end of the communication felt that he was frightened by An Wuping's smile for a moment, and he forced himself to confirm with An Wuping: "Why didn't you send a signal in hyperspace, otherwise we should have received it long ago, and hyperspace would not affect the distress signal, right?"

"I know it won't affect me, but my fuel was almost exhausted when I flew out of the cloud, the warehouse was broken, and all the supplies fell out."

"I'm worried that the spaceship doesn't have enough fuel, so I just shut down all the systems and wait until I get to the place. I'm sure I can float here along the gravity well."

The uncle confirmed again: "Have you ever had experience in flying a spaceship?"

"I worked as a field officer in a security company a few years ago, and I was the captain."

The uncle looked at An Wuping's tall physique and a fierce look behind the screen, and believed this statement.

"Security company...Okay, you send the things that should be sent as soon as possible. I'm already preparing to rescue and tow the spaceship. Keep in touch."

"Okay."

Chen Ming sent the spaceship log, identity information and other things that should be sent, and waited for the rescue from the space station...or attack.

Although at least up to this point Chen Ming has not seen any connection between this uncle and this space station and Zuo Jing, he still remains vigilant.

What if?

But this time things did not develop in the direction Chen Ming thought.

Ten minutes later, three spaceships came from the galaxy, two Gladiator-class frigates commonly used by patrol teams, and a gravity tugboat called the Bull-class.

They dragged Chen Ming's dilapidated Sentinel to the ecological observation colony.

The Sentinel was soon towed to the space station.

The moment Chen Ming got off the spaceship, the Sentinel was towed away by the space station's device and towed to the maintenance site.

And he stood firmly on the ground of the space station.

At this point, Chen Ming felt that the matter was over. As long as he directly controlled the entire space station, everything would fall into his hands completely.

However, as soon as Chen Ming started, he found that Zuo Jing had actually partitioned different areas of the space station. The entire space station was divided into several modules, and there was no physical connection.

Especially the port, which was open to the outside world, was even more partitioned.

There was no critical database in this small port area, and the place where important information was stored was not in this area.

Ordinary space stations would not be designed like this at all, and such a structure was very telling.

And this also made Chen Ming not know what to say.

The space station must have been designed as a whole when it was first designed, and this situation is definitely due to the subsequent modification.

Zuo Jing is probably targeting him.

Of course, Chen Ming is just talking.

In fact, he feels that the shooting of this structure should be used to quickly separate different modules.

Ports like this are generally places where outsiders gather.

If it can be separated quickly, then the space station can quickly destroy this place with its own firepower.

This special structure must be used to cause trouble at critical moments.

But it's okay.

Chen Ming came here by normal means, so he doesn't have to worry about being suddenly targeted by Zuo Jing in this way without knowing it.

And if he really wants to attack, relying on An Wuping's body, a module separation can't stop him at all.

Just when Chen Ming was observing the situation at the port of the space station.

The uncle who had appeared in the communication before suddenly came over from the direction where the spaceship was sent away, and asked Chen Ming, who was wearing power armor and looking around: "An Wuping, right?"

Chen Ming immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes."

"Well, I am the rescue captain here, Mao Xingwang."

"Young man, you are lucky. I just looked at your spaceship. The engine was almost pierced by lightning. If it was really pierced, you would die in the clouds."

Chen Ming thought about An Wuping's personality for a while, and remained silent without responding.

Uncle Mao didn't say anything, but just waved to Chen Ming and said: "Come with me, I will arrange a place for you to rest for a few days."

"Do you want to find a tugboat company to help you tow the spaceship to the nearest colony or repair it here? If you repair it here, it is not our obligation, and it costs money."

Chen Ming made a fortune from selling pirate spaceships some time ago, although he has spent it all.

But later he made another sum of money from paying pirate bounties, which should be enough to repair the spaceship.

"I have money, but I still have my stuff on the ship. I want to go check it out."

"Are you worried about losing your stuff? Okay, let's go over and count what's on your ship and settle the bill first."
