Chapter 81 Inquiry and the Upcoming Pursuit

After Chen Ming left the boss.

Old Wu suddenly followed him and put his hand on Chen Ming's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you to be so handsome, Xiao Mu."

Chen Ming slightly adjusted the helmet he put on again and said, "That's not how you flatter someone."

"Hehe."

Old Wu laughed twice and walked beside Chen Ming.

Chen Ming looked at him strangely and asked, "Are you not going to slack off?"

"You can slack off anytime, and you can skip work anytime. You only took off your helmet and met Old Lu once. I want to see how he will react."

"But I have to go back to the maintenance plant to put my things away."

Chen Ming pointed to the transport robot beside him and the four metal coffins on it.

Old Wu said indifferently, "It's okay. I'm usually very free."

"Okay, whatever you want."

Chen Ming first went back to the maintenance plant, put the coffin on the Iron Ore, and then went to the Space Station Administration.

After finding the factory director's office and knocking on the door, Chen Ming took off his helmet.

The factory director's voice rang out from the office: "Come in."

Old Wu rushed into the office without waiting for the words to fall, sat on the sofa in the office, and looked at the factory director with interest.

The factory director just glared at him and turned to look at Chen Ming who came in from behind.

He didn't react when he saw Chen Ming for the first time, and then he noticed the light protective suit that Chen Ming often wore.

After confirming Chen Ming's identity, it was at this time that the factory director realized that Chen Ming had basically removed his guard against them.

Although the factory director was a little surprised, he also knew that this day would come sooner or later, and quickly asked Chen Ming to sit in front of him.

The factory director's reaction made Old Wu on the side a little disappointed and he went to play with the terminal by himself.

As soon as Chen Ming sat down, the factory manager said with a hint of joy on his face: "Xiao Mu, you came at the right time."

"Your first batch of refurbished goods has been dragged to other places and sold. The money needs to be transferred to the space station's account and the account of the second-hand weapons I transferred out will be balanced. The rest is the net profit. Guess how much it is."

Chen Ming was naturally very clear about the price of the weapons he had touched personally, and said: "30 million."

The factory manager's mouth corners raised a little more and said: "Yes, wait two days and your share will be credited to the account. Then we will find a place to have a meal?"

"Okay."

Seeing that Chen Ming did not object, the factory manager smiled and reached out to press the computer next to him to continue working.

But suddenly realized that Chen Ming suddenly came to him because he had something to do, stopped what he was doing and asked: "What do you want to talk to me about today?"

Chen Ming originally wanted to ask for leave to go to the Star Region Government to pay the bounty, but since he knew the news that the previous batch of goods had been sold, it was just right to not mention the matter of asking for leave.

Take advantage of now to say everything he wanted to say before.

Chen Ming sat in his seat and said to the factory manager seriously: "I need to ask you something important."

The factory manager saw Chen Ming like this for the first time, and he was unconsciously taken seriously: "Tell me."

"Do you know the mining space station in the RM-2 star system next door?"

The factory manager frowned and said: "That was the company's abandoned space station thirty years ago. The star system has been blocked by the military. You... Oh, I remember that Yu Hui and the military are fine."

"You ask this? Because you saw that space station before?"

"Yes."

The factory manager followed Chen Ming's train of thought and said: "The important thing you are talking about is not to recycle the equipment on the space station, right?"

"The military It is impossible to give you the opportunity to steal things. You did n’t have any preparations for the last time when you attacked. It ’s better not to fight in this area. What is the thing? Technology, Chen Ming's identity, Chen Ming's vigilance, and Chen Ming's internal terminals of the old model in the hands of Chen Ming's hands were combined. "You?!" Chen Ming took out his own terminal with such a little nervousness and displayed his identity information in front of the factory director. His resume of working in the company is clearly displayed on it.

Seeing the factory manager's sudden reaction, Old Wu also came over as before and looked at Chen Ming's real identity information with the factory manager.

The more he looked, the more serious his expression became, just like the factory manager.

He couldn't help but ask Chen Ming: "You have lived from thirty years ago to now? What happened to the space station?"

"It's a bit long to talk about it. To sum it up, the space station was suddenly attacked by a kind of Zerg, and then the space station was gone, and everyone died."

"Not long."

"The long things are what happened later."

"For example, why didn't Sinda Corporation come to rescue the space station? Why did the military come to the space station that was slaughtered by the Zerg faster than Sinda? Why did the military block the galaxy for thirty years?"

"No one escaped thirty years ago? Why did the military block the galaxy and ignore the mining rights purchased by Sinda Corporation?"

"And, what is the outpost built by the military inside the galaxy used for?"

"These are the long places."

Old Wu scratched his head and said: "Oh, what is the outpost used for?"

"To dig sky steel."

"Ah?"

"Ah?"

The factory director's reaction was more intense than Old Wu's. Although he knew that the outpost previously deployed by the military there was attacked, he knew only so much.

Therefore, after hearing what Chen Ming said, he stood up directly by supporting the desk in front of him, and asked in disbelief: "Xiao Mu, are you sure?"

Chen Ming said with a very serious expression: "I am sure."

"There are Alturan sky eels living in the orbit of the gas giant planet. I saw with my own eyes that Yuhui's fleet raided their outpost, robbed their stored sky steel, and captured several sky fish."

"I think the official did not investigate the sky fish when selling the mining rights, and after the space station was open to the outside world for a period of time, the military discovered the existence of sky fish in advance, so they chose to use despicable means to seize it."

"I'm not sure if the facts are what I think, but I don't think there is any other reason to explain this situation."

"The company shouldn't give up the sky steel for no reason, right?"

The factory director sat back in his chair and said: "Absolutely not."

Chen Ming was not surprised by this result. After all, he had worked in Xinda Company.

"But after all, it's been thirty years, so I just want to know the attitude of the company's top management towards this matter. Director, you should know why I want to do this."

The director nodded and said, "I understand. If the company wants to regain the space station, then you are the best bargaining chip and treasure, but if the company wants to reconcile with the military or has already reconciled, then you are the most troublesome thorn in the eye."

"This is really..."

The director exhaled a long breath and said, "I don't know the overall attitude of the company, but at least there is good news. Basically, everyone in our space station is very unhappy with the military, especially when they betrayed us before."

"As for the company's attitude... It's a serious matter. I must ask my superiors."

"With the director, no, the director can't do it. I have to find someone who can completely influence me. "Yes, that should be enough, but it may take some time." Old Wu suddenly interrupted at this time and asked, "Old Lu, can you still contact such a person?" "How do you think I got the position of factory director?" Chen Ming stretched out his hand to push Old Wu away and asked, "How long will it take?" "It will take three or four days, and I can't guarantee the result." "But you don't have to worry too much. As long as no one comes to check you, you can continue to stay on the space station with the fake identity of Mu Shuikong." "I will never make mistakes, but it's better for you to keep wearing protective clothing as before before the results come out." Chen Ming expected such a postponed result. He had already started planning other ways to go when all the ways of Xinda Company were blocked. Even if it didn't work, it didn't mean that he had to hang himself on a tree. Chen Ming nodded gratefully to the factory manager and said, "I understand. I'll trouble you. I want to take a leave these two days."

The factory manager didn't expect Chen Ming to suddenly change the topic from the conspiracy between the military and Xinda Company to Chen Ming's own leave. He was stunned for a moment before asking, "Where are you going?"

"To the Star Region Government, to pay a few pirate bounties."

"Pirate bounties, oh, you want to get a license yourself, right? Then this leave..."

The factory manager lowered his head slightly and thought.

He didn't really want to agree to Chen Ming's leave.

Because he was sure that everything Chen Ming said was true.

If the company really suffered a loss in the space station and couldn't get back, it meant that Chen Ming was very important to the company.

If the person is released and something unexpected happens, the loss of Xinda Company will never be recovered.

But the factory director is not sure about the attitude of the company.

Because Xinda Company has been divided into two factions many years ago.

One faction advocates self-development and is not subject to interference from any external forces.

The other faction advocates actively building good relations with the military or the government in order to obtain better treatment and preferential policies.

The former is called the company faction, and the latter is called the military faction because the company mainly produces ships and it is easier to build relations with the military.

The attitudes of the two factions towards Chen Ming are absolutely different, and it is hard to say whether the company will protect Chen Ming.

And it is not just the company, there may be some problems on the space station side,

Although the space station has always paid a certain amount of protection fees to the military in exchange for protection when attacked by external forces such as the Yuhui Mechanical Clan.

But the people on the space station side are actually basically sent by the company, and the overall attitude towards the military is average, especially when the military has violated its promise before.

But the factory director cannot guarantee that there will be no military personnel inside the space station.

If Chen Ming stays in the space station, there is indeed a certain risk.

Before really confirming the attitude of the company's top management, letting Chen Ming go out for two days is actually a good option.

In the star region government, the star region military is nothing.

If there is really any problem here in the space station, he can also warn Chen Ming in advance through the Internet.

Moreover.

The factory director raised his head and looked at Lao Wu next to him.

It just so happened that Lao Wu was always slacking off in the past two days. After all, he has been working honestly for more than ten days since Chen Ming came.

Just give him a holiday together, let him relax a little, and work more efficiently later.

After considering the pros and cons, the factory director said to Chen Ming: "Okay, I will approve your leave now."

"This should be your first time to go to the government of the edge star field, right? How about letting Lao Wu accompany you? He has experience."

"So good?"

When Lao Wu heard the factory director's words, he looked a little excited, and it seemed that he had not left the space station for a long time.

"That depends on whether Xiao Mu... Xiao Ming agrees."

Lao Wu suddenly changed his face and squeezed out a flattering look that was the same as the previous unscrupulous businessman in Chen Ming's eyes, staring at him.

Chen Ming ignored him directly, but still considered the factory director's proposal.

Although he had indeed come into contact with all kinds of people before, he rarely came into contact with people from the government or the edge star field where the rules were not so strict.

Even after his job was transferred to the mining space station, it was the same. Not to mention the opportunity to come into contact with people, it was not easy to get up and work several times.

Basically, it was a straight line between freezing hibernation, waking up to work, and continuing to hibernate.

If Lao Wu is here, it will be much more convenient to do some things.

Chen Ming really doesn't mind bringing one more person.

So he agreed.

Soon Chen Ming and Lao Wu left the factory director's office and returned to the repair shop.

As soon as he came back, Chen Ming found that there was an extra Mule-class ship parked in the repair shop.

The boss's message came at about this time.

He said that he helped Chen Ming repair the ship a little and sent it here. If there is any problem with the ship, he can find him again.

It happened that the Mule-class ship that Chen Ming took away before was still being renovated, and this ordinary Mule-class ship could just be driven away.

At the same time, this Mule-class ship also helped Chen Ming do something, taking away the Lumen-class ship he brought back before. Chen Ming on the space station couldn't do anything to Yu Hui's ship.

After removing the internal compartment of the cargo hold, it was still easy to stuff a frigate into a cargo hold.

After getting it done, Chen Ming took Lao Wu directly to the Iron Ore.

They probably won't stay on the ship most of the time this time, so there's no need to prepare anything.

While looking around on the Iron Ore, Old Wu suddenly remembered an excuse that Chen Ming had obviously made up before, and jokingly said, "Xiao Ming, where is your captain?"

"In the captain's room, do you believe it?"

Old Wu smiled after hearing Chen Ming's reply, and continued to follow Chen Ming's ass to visit the remodeled Iron Ore.

The planting cabin that the crew of the Iron Ore used to replenish fresh vegetables and fruits during the long process of collecting rare metal ores has been dismantled by Chen Ming.

The studio has been moved here and is more complete than before.

The extra space in the original living cabin has now been converted into a small gym, and other changes are not big.

When the two came to the captain's room at the front.

Old Wu suddenly saw Xiao Shi playing on the running wheel.

And the mini pirate captain hat on its head, which Chen Ming bought when he was bored and bought miscellaneous daily necessities.

When Xiao Shi noticed a stranger coming, he stopped and looked at Lao Wu for a few seconds.

Both sides blinked quickly and unconsciously.

Xiaoshi turned around and went back into the ore placed by Chen Ming in the captain's room, and blocked the hole it dug with his hat.

And Lao Wu couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He really didn't expect that the captain Chen Ming said was real, but there was something wrong with this captain.

Lao Wu wanted to get closer to Xiaoshi's ore to take a closer look at Xiaoshi, but was stopped by Chen Ming: "Stand still, we are leaving."

Lao Wu smacked his lips with some regret, leaned against the wall of the captain's room, and watched Chen Ming operate the control panel of the spacecraft.

He drove out of the space station with the other centurions and mules and headed for the edge of the galaxy.

He had known from his boss that Chen Ming was a psychic, and he also knew that Chen Ming's psychic power must be related to the spacecraft.

So he was not surprised at all that Chen Ming was controlling three spaceships, but he suddenly noticed a problem and asked, "Xiao Ming, isn't this direction going to the Star Region Government?"

Sitting in front of the control panel, Chen Ming quickly set the spaceship to autopilot and replied, "It's true."

"Because I feel a little uneasy driving these three ships alone, so I have to take one of the ships I parked somewhere else."

"Do you have other ships? Where are they parked? Aren't you afraid of being stolen?"

Chen Ming tilted his head while sitting on the chair and squinted at Old Wu who was always looking for something to talk about.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything."

The Dark Cemetery is not far from the space station, and Chen Ming soon arrived at his destination.

Through the porthole of the Iron Ore, you can see three spaceships floating in the dark space environment outside.

Fighter Kai, Wei Guang, and the destroyer Du Guang.

Du Guang Wei Guang, and the unrepaired Lumen that was just released from the Mule-class cabin cannot be taken away.

But at present, Chen Ming can always take the Fighter Kai, which can be said to be the second strongest combat power.

After gathering four ships, Chen Ming changed direction again, entered the hyperspace channel, and flew straight to the location of the star region government.

Shortly after Chen Ming left the space station.

A very inconspicuous spacecraft docked at the dock of the space station.

The five members of the military team who had previously performed the space station search mission were now in plain clothes, all gathered in the cabin, waiting for the captain's instructions.

And the captain, as usual, reached out and knocked on the cabin door to attract everyone's attention to himself, and said: "Are the mission requirements clear? Search for signs that Chen Ming has been active in the space station."

A team member raised his hand and asked: "Then where do we start?"

The captain pointed to the maintenance plant next to him and said: "There."

"Leave two people to inquire at the maintenance plant, and the rest of you will follow me to find the contact person."

"Ah? Just inquire like this?"

The captain said with a look of disappointment: "I told you to pretend, you just need to show an image of working hard, so that the superiors will not blame you, you will not really think Can you find it? Are you dreaming? "

"Maybe."

The captain waved his hand casually and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, I suggest you treat it as a public-funded tour. I remember that the facilities inside this space station are pretty good."

"Play is fun, but remember to do a little bit of work, otherwise it will be difficult to prepare the report."

The captain pointed to two team members and said, "You two are responsible for the maintenance plant. The people in the maintenance plant usually have the most contact with people. Ask more people. If it doesn't work, spend some money and you can reimburse them. Whether there is a result or not, at least you have done it."

"That's it, get off the ship."

The five members of the military team got off the ship and dispersed.

The two team members assigned by the captain wandered around the maintenance plant twice according to the captain's instructions and found the employees on duty today.

One was a newcomer who joined some time ago, and the other was Tian Jiwen.

With the captain leading the way, the two team members were too lazy to go around too much, and directly found the two with the terminal.

Pointing to the photo of Chen Ming and the photo of the Iron Ore's initial appearance, he asked: "Brothers, have you seen this man and this spaceship?"

Chen Ming had never taken off his helmet in front of the factory director and the Iron Ore had been remodeled before the newcomers joined.

So the newcomer's answer was naturally that he didn't know anything.

Although Tian Jiwen next to him had never seen Chen Ming's face, he had indeed seen Chen Ming's Iron Ore before it was remodeled.

But at this time, he did not have the idea of ​​revealing this news directly in his heart.

Because he was arranged by the factory director to see a psychologist before.

After seeing it, he also knew that his emotional outburst at that time was just because of anger.

There was no real conflict between him and Chen Ming, so after a little hesitation, he also chose to say he didn't know.

The two team members focused their eyes on Tian Jiwen for a while, and after getting the answer, they looked at each other, thanked each other tacitly, and left the maintenance plant.

And all this happened to be seen by the bald man who was on vacation today.

Chen Ming, who had already left the galaxy where the pirate space station was located for a considerable distance, was not connected to the sentinels and mules who remained in the space station, so he naturally did not know what happened on the space station.

He was now sitting on a coffin that he had placed in the engine compartment, studying his whispering stone that had suddenly undergone an inexplicable change.
