Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 1049: Chapter 299: Attempt_4

Uncertain whether it was a suicide controlled by Zuo Jing, or if they awakened under Zuo Jing’s control and committed suicide out of guilt for their crimes.

No one could have predicted that the seemingly calm Beinu Star Realm leader was gone, and that the assassinated Cai Mo Star Realm leader was actually faking death.

But life cannot be rejuvenated, so inevitably someone must take control of the Beinu Star Realm.

Since the Beinu Star Realm had just completed the transformation of the main ship to provide combat power to Zuo Jing, the Empire could not be lenient in its actions against Beinu.

It was decided to select the nearest military force to Beinu Star Realm, which is the Fourteenth Legion of the Gallo Star Realm, adjacent to Audan Star Realm next to Beinu, to take over military control.

On the surface, this sounds odd.

After all, the Fourteenth Legion in the Gallo Star Realm is just a division, with few personnel, incapable of controlling a possibly troubled star realm.

So in reality, this task is assigned to the main headquarters of the Fourteenth Legion.

Just recently, the Fourteenth Legion used the excuse of internal issues to establish a division in the Gallo Star Realm.

The establishment process of this division actually had some issues, but currently, the Fourteenth Legion is thriving, serving as the frontline against the Dusk main forces.

The Empire turns a blind eye to it.

The current situation is similar to before.

Because the Empire is about to commence war with the Mechanical Race.

Thus, the Empire needs an excuse to place a sufficiently strong combat force near the front line.

The proximity of Beinu Star Realm to Gallo is the most suitable location.

The internal issues within Beinu Star Realm also serve as a test opportunity for the Fourteenth Legion.

If passed, Beinu Star Realm could possibly be transformed into a stationed star realm of the Fourteenth Legion.

Although different from star realms directly under the Fourteenth Legion, providing material and logistical support, it is still quite valuable.

Moreover, this also offers the Fourteenth Legion an opportunity for a practical drill before the actual war with the Mechanical Race begins.

A multi-purpose action.

With the broad understanding of the subsequent developments.

Chen Ming did not inquire much, as Cai Mo’s matter is concluded, whether Cai Mo will be adversely affected, depends on Cai Mo himself, having no relation with Chen Ming, paying attention to it is meaningless.

Today, he has other affairs to attend to.

Because He Gu intends to visit the division today to complete a previous transaction with him.

An Wuping could be inspected at any moment.

Before An Wuping undergoes inspection, he must acquire the Enlightenment Nerve as soon as possible.

Although the leader suspects that An Wuping’s Enlightenment Nerve might be in that special heart, it may not be in the brain, uncheckable, possibly even nonexistent.

Nonetheless, Chen Ming must prepare.

Currently, only three individuals in the entire division have the status to receive He Gu.

One is the deputy designated by Bai Quan on behalf of the division, an older Major General named Jing Xian.

One stationed within the division whom Chen Ming has yet to meet, the Psychic.

The last one is Chen Ming himself.

However, the Psychic, elusive as a dragon, did not appear during He Gu’s last visit, so he cannot be relied upon for reception.

Jing Xian, being Bai Quan’s deputy, has always been assisting Bai Quan, and is quite occupied after Bai Quan’s departure.

Upon hearing of He Gu’s arrival, due to Chen Ming, he directly granted Chen Ming some personnel authority to find someone for reception.

Having worked with Bai Quan for so many years, Bai Quan trusts Chen Ming, thus Jing Xian also trusts Chen Ming.

He wholly disregards the possibility of Chen Ming using the authority to undertake negative actions.

Thus, Chen Ming has no choice but to personally handle the reception.

Yesterday, he had already arranged leave with Cheng Xinghai, as the time is now near.

Chen Ming rose, pushed open the underground lab door, coincidentally spotting someone about to knock.

It was the previously mentioned researcher, Lu Kang, whom Chen Ming has appointed as the head of a research group.

Lu Kang handed a paper document to Chen Ming, stating, "Director, here is the experimental data record file for the Catalytic Core, please review it."

"Just leave it here, I have some errands today, call me if there are issues in the lab."

"Alright."

Chen Ming patted his shoulder and left the lab.

He boarded the shuttle boat heading for the main dome of the division.

Before Bai Quan’s departure, he had already granted Chen Ming access to many areas, although technically, Jing Xian holds the greatest authority in the division, if Chen Ming desired, he could be the de facto controller of the entire division.

Of course, Chen Ming would not be so excessive, having a good relationship with Bai Quan, he would never act in such a manner.

Soon, Chen Ming stood at the spaceship landing field of the main dome, watching a shuttle boat descend there.

The hatch opened, and He Gu disembarked first.

Carrying a box in his hand, he greeted Chen Ming, "Long time no see."
