Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

If Chen Ming were placed in the captain's position, he would do the same.

"Better hurry up."

The captain left the shielded cabin with a grateful face.

Before the cabin door closed completely, Chen Ming explained the current situation to the boss.

When he went outside, he would ask the boss for his opinion.

And after ensuring the shielded cabin door was closed.

The captain lifted the ship's signal block, allowing the military ships to start scanning the fleet.

He was also ready to directly launch an attack on the military if the shielded cabin failed to work.

The security scan proceeded smoothly all the way through.

Communication with the military was not yet interrupted. Just now, a military person suddenly said to the captain, "What's with those two unmanned ships?"

The captain had already received a colluded statement, saying, "We are testing a newly developed remote control system."

"Is that so?"

The military left it at that without saying much.

The scan was quickly completed, but the military fleet still needed time to verify the scanned data.

The captain reactivated the signal block and reopened the shielded cabin door.

When Chen Ming heard the door open behind him, he finally moved his gaze from the cargo box in front of him and reconnected with the boss as he left the shielded cabin.

He returned to the bridge control center, back beside the captain.

As he arrived, Chen Ming happened to hear a sentence from the military in the communication channel.

"We now have reason to suspect that those two ships were stolen vessels. Please cooperate with us and leave the ships for a boarding inspection."

There was no need for further confirmation; it was a hundred percent clear that the military was here to give Chen Ming trouble.

At the same time, Chen Ming also heard the boss's warning: "Xiao Mu, I've found some strange intel. There seems to be trouble within the military."

"Some people at the Military Outpost seem to be plotting a mutiny. They won't adhere to any rules with you, so you must prepare for direct combat."

"I feel there's a big problem with this matter; some people who shouldn't be involved are involved."

"Xiao Mu, find a way to hold out, and I'll try to think of a way."

Chen Ming, unable to contain himself due to this outrageous news, said out loud, "Wait a minute... mutiny?"

These last two words immediately drew a questioning glance from the captain.

And just as the captain turned his head, Chen Ming suddenly saw several military ships outside the bridge window suddenly activate their shields.

They initiated weapons and launched an attack on the fleet.

Several beams of energy weapon lasers directly struck Chen Ming's Iron Ore No.

Chen Ming immediately activated the Iron Ore No.'s shield. The scattered energy weapon attacks for just under a second didn't cause much damage to the White Cloud Steel Armor.

However, Chen Ming still immediately had the Iron Ore No. and the Warrior alongside it hide behind other ships in the fleet.

He then pressed his earpiece and said without any restraint, "Boss, the military has directly attacked us."

And at the same time Chen Ming spoke, the captain also shouted on the internal fleet communication channel, "Prepare for combat!"

"Got it."

The boss had just finished speaking when he suddenly cursed angrily, "Damn, someone's screwing with me."

In Chen Ming's impression, it seemed to be the first time he heard the boss swear.

However, Chen Ming didn't have the time to figure out what exactly pissed off the boss enough to say that.

He now had to cooperate with other fleet vessels for subsequent operations.

The military made the first move, and it was recorded by the sensors of so many ships on site, so the company couldn't just take a beating without cause.

With the recordings in hand, even if they later confronted the military, the responsibility wouldn't fall on the company.

Under the captain's orders, the fleet immediately entered wartime status.

The protective layer of the windows activated, and the big screen beside showed the images captured by the sensors.

At the same time, projectors displayed the battlefield situation around the fleet at the center of the bridge control center.

The fleet began to contract its formation, quickly distancing itself from the military fleet with the cover of the Space Station Patrol Team's ships.

Though supported by the Space Station, being sixty-some to over a hundred, the company fleet was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of ship numbers.

The only two pieces of good news were that the military fleet blocking the other Superspace Channel still needed some time to approach from the channel entrance.

Simultaneously, there was still some support that could come from the Space Station.

If they could defeat this military fleet, there would be still a turning point, and everything would still have a chance.

After the military launched the attack, the Cow Herder, as the fleet's flagship, immediately launched a counterattack against the military.

The missile bays all over the hull opened, firing a large number of Annihilator Missiles directly at the densest areas of the military fleet.

These were missiles without any advanced guided targeting features.

They only had a massive quantity sufficient for fire cover and solid power upon explosion.

In small-scale ships' scattered and flexible battlefields, they were just average, but in medium-scale battles, these Annihilators were extremely useful.

While putting pressure on the other side, they could also attract a good portion of the military ships' point defense weapon fire.

It's a very effective suppression-type missile weapon.

As a large number of Annihilator Missiles were launched, the aircraft on the Cow Herder's flight deck were also taking off.
