Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

So Chen Ming's target can only be temporarily set on frigates and destroyers.

The target is set, and the next problem is how to approach these ships with the Dusk AI Core.

Firstly, in space, there is absolutely no chance for Chen Ming to personally access the Dusk ships.

And disembarking on Dusk's colony is certainly also a suicidal act.

Controlling other Dusk ships with refraction-level electromagnetic weapons is clearly a death wish.

It seems that Chen Ming really doesn't have any particularly good method to quickly and massively contact and control Dusk's guard ships.

However, he reconsidered and realized that he doesn't necessarily need to directly control Dusk's ships; he only requires the core.

Inserting the obtained AI core into other guard ships should produce similar effects.

On Dusk's colony, there must be many AI cores.

Gamma AI just mentioned that most Dusk AI cores use ships as carriers, so there must be some Gamma AI using other carriers.

Handling them is undoubtedly easier than dealing with ships, and seeking them might be more suitable for his purpose.

Wait a minute.

Chen Ming suddenly realized that this idea might be even more excessive than directly touching Dusk ships.

Kidnapping Dusk's AI in the colony seems like an even more serious suicidal behavior than the previous idea.

If one or two Dusk AI are controlled by Chen Ming, higher-level Dusk AI might not notice, but if Chen Ming truly controls Dusk AI cores on a large scale, it will definitely attract attention.

No matter how many guard ships he possesses, facing cruisers would absolutely be a one-sided situation.

Chen Ming, feeling slightly annoyed, clicked his tongue.

It seems his idea can only be postponed for a while.

He must think of a good enough solution to address the issues he just considered so he can undermine Dusk's foundation.

Moreover, Chen Ming knows that although the recent hint didn't show the number of ships controlled by auxiliary AI.

Controlling AI cores certainly requires some spiritual power for maintenance, so the ship control by auxiliary AI definitely has a numerical limit.

Therefore, Chen Ming thinks it's best not to have too much expectation for his sudden ideas, at least not for now.

Because he still has to hurry back to the Pirate Space Station, there are things he must do at the Pirate Space Station.

He has never skipped work on the second day as an employee in two lifetimes.

Moreover, Chen Ming just told Old Wu that he would return in a couple of days, and if he misses the appointment and damages his relations with the maintenance factory, it won't be beneficial for what he has to do next.

But before returning to the Pirate Space Station, Chen Ming has to find a place to temporarily rest.

He doesn't plan to majestically sail all six ships back to the Pirate Space Station together.

Especially when he has a complete Dusk destroyer and two Dusk guard ships, along with two military ships.

So he must find a place to temporarily store these ships.

And the best choice he came up with in his mind.

Is around the Dark Graveyard.

The Dark Graveyard is around the superspace channel route, neither too near nor too far.

Although there are numerous asteroids, the valuable ones were mined thirty years ago.

Now, even if a ship with specialized mining equipment passes by, it might not necessarily want to go in and wander.

So it's a very safe place for Chen Ming.

The only potential risk, well, is that he sank three merchant ships in the Dark Graveyard before.

So Chen Ming doesn't actually plan to enter the Dark Graveyard but intends to go around it.

The lightless areas with no stellar presence and no distinctive celestial bodies or other landmarks are the truly safe hideouts.

Before refraction-level descent to Dusk Colony, Chen Ming had already planned out all the tasks to do.

And he has roughly calculated the time required to complete those plans.

Then he realized that if he doesn't have any ideas concerning other AI cores.

He might even have enough time to observe the Dusk Colony situated on a non-habitable planet.
