Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 81: Changes in the Whispering Illusory Figures_2


It took Chen Ming over six hours to travel from the Dark Graveyard to the star system where the Star Realm Government is located.

As Chen Ming's spaceship approached the Star Realm Capital, many other spaceships began to appear along the route.

The vast majority were merchant ships, but there were also some that looked like bounty hunters' ships, and even a few military ships that Chen Ming saw.

To the extent that his Warrior modification seemed rather inconspicuous.

But this was actually good news for Chen Ming.

Before Chen Ming guided the spaceship out of the Superspace Channel headed for the star system, he had preemptively turned on the ship's transponder.

To avoid getting immediately targeted by the patrol team causing trouble.

Four ships quickly emerged from the Superspace Channel, reaching the outer edge of the Star Realm Capital, the RJW star system.

Here, Chen Ming could overlook the entire inner workings of the star system.

This star system consisted of seven planets.

They revolved around a yellow dwarf star named RJW located at the center of the system.

The seven planets, from inner to outer, included two planets close to the star that were intensely hot.

A starkly barren, soil-brown desolate planet.

Half of one planet was covered in white, with some green visible around the equator, but the rest was also white.

This planet was where the capital colony of the Star Realm was located.

Further out, there was a planet that appeared to be ablaze with red flames.

Farthest out were a gas giant and an ice giant.

Sensors on the Iron Ore No. displayed that each of these planets had a different type of space station built in orbit, each with unique functionalities.

Every space station and each planet's surface saw a constant flurry of ships taking off and landing.

While many more were flying out towards the edge of the star system.

This scene was more impressive than that of Dusk's colony.

Besides these signs showcasing the development and vitality inside the star system.

The most attention-catching feature for Chen Ming was the crystallization of human technology, the Star Gate, built in orbit around the fourth planet in the system.

This was, in fact, the capital of the Gallo Star Realm where Chen Ming was currently located.

Here, Chen Ming could glimpse a glimmer of the splendid Prosperous Star Realm.

Chen Ming turned off the autopilot and manually piloted the Iron Ore No., along with the other three ships, closer to the space station orbiting the habitable white planet within the star system.

He had done some homework beforehand.

The functionality of the space station surrounding the colony planet was generally the same as those around Dusk's space station.

Essentially a small subdivision of the colony.

Where one could complete simple tasks or obtain supplies for passing ships.

Eliminating the need to land on the planet for minor matters, thereby saving time.

But for such matters like pirate bounties, it wasn't quite feasible.

Chen Ming needed to proceed to the planet's surface and deal with the specialized government agencies there for further processes.

If the Iron Ore No. hadn't been modified with military systems, he would have just needed to request to land directly.

But now, he could only temporarily dock the few armed ships he brought at the space station.

He himself could use the space elevator or the public personnel transport ships provided by the space station to travel between the station and the surface.

Otherwise, breaching into the planet's atmosphere without authorization wasn't a joke considering the heavy defense array weapons stationed on the surface.

As the few ships under Chen Ming's control advanced closer to the space station orbiting the white planet.

Chen Ming proactively sent a request to the space station for docking.

Soon, a communication from the space station came through.

After connecting, a gentle female voice sounded within the communication channel: "Hello, please state your purpose for us to register your ship."

"Submitting a bounty."

"Alright, your identity and purpose have been recorded. Please follow the signal lights to enter the dock."

In just a few minutes, Chen Ming had successfully docked all four ships within the space station's dock.

Two maps were soon sent through the space station's network.

One map of the space station, another of the surface.

They specifically highlighted where Chen Ming needed to go to submit the bounty, which was very considerate.

Chen Ming, as before, casually tucked a small stone into his protective suit helmet and descended from the Iron Ore No.

Looking around at the architectural style, which differed somewhat from the Pirate Space Station.

Chen Ming was quite intrigued and took a few more looks, but then he suddenly thought of a very practical question.

He turned to the old Wu, who had a relaxed expression as if relieved from busy work, and asked, "By the way, how much is the parking fee at the space station?"

"With your fortune now, do you still care about such a small parking fee?"

"Oh, right."

Chen Ming nodded and followed the guidance on the map to the space elevator connecting the space station and the planet's surface.

After waiting a few minutes and passing through security, he boarded something he had only seen in sci-fi movies before.

During the elevator's descent, Chen Ming could even see through the side transparent porthole, observing the nearly untouched vista of the planet's surface getting increasingly closer.

While traversing the atmosphere, Chen Ming could even see the swirling snow outside.

It was the source of the planet's white appearance.

The protective suit could maintain warmth in space, so this people-tolerable low temperature was naturally not a problem.
