Shadows of the Deep Space

San Ye: "What do you say, brother?"

Black Striped Fish: "The one who blew this thing up is Admiral Su Ming. This guy used to be a poor student. He inexplicably soared up during the city exam and got into the Imperial Court Academy. Now he's turned around to catch those students with skyrocketing grades. Isn't this a typical case of biting the hand that feeds you?"

San Ye: "Is it true?"

Black Striped Fish: "How can it be fake? This guy is the young master of Thunder God Interstellar Heavy Industry. His grades were definitely arranged by his family. Plus, he quickly rose through the military ranks after joining the army. Now he's a Vice Admiral, surely thanks to his family's connections! Ah, we can't compete against those born with a diamond-studded key in their mouth."

Wind Flute Sound: "At first, brother, I thought what you said made sense, but I checked it out and, damn! That Admiral Su Ming, he rose through the ranks on his own. Didn't you see all those badges? Don't just make stuff up, man!"

"Yeah, don't talk nonsense!"

.....

Countless people followed suit and replied angrily.

Black Striped Fish: "Nonsense, I'm not talking rubbish. I heard his military achievements were giveaways, someone even leaked it before."

Wind Flute Sound: "Are you talking about his cousin, Major General Su Yuan? That's not the same person at all."

Black Striped Fish: "Uh, maybe I remembered wrong, seems like it could be him!"

A bunch of onlookers also started to join in the mockery.

"That Su Yuan is the one who should be investigated thoroughly. His military achievements are fake, and he squandered 20 billion chasing stars!"

"Yeah, where did he get so much money? How much did he embezzle?"

"And no doubt his city exam grades are questionable too."

"If such parasites are not scrutinized, what is the Judicial Court doing?"

...

Su Ming saw the comments below attacking him, which turned into attacks on Su Yuan, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

How bad must Su Yuan's reputation be to attract so much resentment?

At this moment, a virtual prompt box popped up in front of him.

"Received a communication request from the Central Control Room, do you accept?"

Su Ming saw the virtual prompt box and was a bit surprised. This ship's equipment is really impressive. He promptly raised his hand to choose 'accept.'

Timi's virtual image immediately appeared before Su Ming, and she respectfully reported.

"Commander Su Ming, we are about to reach the Kavimick Frontier Station."

The Kavimick Frontier Station is a critical outpost situated between the Cui Lan Star Defense Line and the Abyss of Descent.

This outpost is located between the Bright Star Sea and the Tidal Star Sea.

The fleet heading to the Abyss of Descent typically reports, inspects, and inquires about the navigation conditions here.

"I understand, proceed according to standard procedures."

Su Ming said to Timi.

"Understood!"

Timi promptly responded.

...

Inside the Central Control Room.

After cutting the communication, Timi issued orders to Li Menghan.

"Send a communication request to the Kavimick Frontier Station."

"Yes."

Li Menghan immediately proceeded with the operation.

As seconds ticked by, the call was quickly connected.

A young man in a captain's uniform, handsome and energetic, saluted Timi and spoke.

"Hello, Commander, I am Captain Zhou Ran from the Kavimick Frontier Station."

"Hello, I am Lieutenant Colonel Timi from the Thirteenth Legion. We are heading to the Abyss of Descent under the Federation Council's orders, and according to protocol, we can be exempt from inspection."

Timi replied efficiently.

"Understood, Commander!"

Captain Zhou Ran replied respectfully.

"Yes, also, is the navigation route ahead clear for passage?"

Timi continued to inquire.

"Commander Timi, the navigation route ahead is clear, you may proceed."

Captain Zhou Ran responded courteously.

"Thank you!"

Timi slightly nodded in thanks and then disconnected the communication.

At this time, seeing the communication cut off, the respectful look on Captain Zhou Ran's face slowly faded, replaced by a cold and steely expression as he turned around.

In the corner, a pair of hands could be seen emerging, with crimson blood flowing.

Inside the Central Control Room, many operators in Federation uniforms looked sharply at Zhou Ran,

Zhou Ran nodded with a cold gaze toward them.

The operators immediately went about their tasks, operating quickly.

...

In the starry sky.

The Sunshine led the fleet to the Kavimick Frontier Station.

The entire Kavimick Frontier Station is composed of a massive disc-shaped space station and several mechanical fortresses, with mechas and ships patrolling everywhere.

At this time, the Sunshine headed toward the station's exit.

A sergeant hurriedly ran into the transparent operating room of the alert fortress and quickly pulled down the mechanical switch.

A row of red passage indicator lights turned green.

The virtual navigation guide appeared in the dark starry sky.

The Sunshine led the fleet past.

As it passed the alert fortress, the sergeant saluted the Sunshine.

The Sunshine fleet soon passed through the Kavimick Frontier Station and then activated the Superluminal Flight Device.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The ships entered subspace one by one.

....

The next day, in the Sunshine Central Control Room.

The door opened automatically, and Su Ming, along with Rhein and others, walked in.

"Commander Su Ming."

Timi greeted respectfully.

"Hmm, how's everything going?"

Su Ming asked as he sat down in the command chair.

"Everything is normal. We've passed the frontier station, been in flight for a day, completed superluminal flight, and once the superluminal device cools down, we can fly directly to the Abyss of Descent."

Timi reported methodically.

"Good."

Su Ming nodded in acknowledgment.

At this time, Rhein and the others were quite excited and said.
