But when they saw the situation inside the Star System Superspace, no one dared to approach, looking ready to flee at any moment.

It's impossible to say it had no impact on the Space Station.

If the military were conducting inspections according to standard procedures, they would never have gone this far.

Just as the atmosphere in the comms channel was growing increasingly chilly.

Chen Ming suddenly heard his boss's voice in his earpiece: "Xiao Mu, I found a bounty notice here, take a look."

Chen Ming casually took out his terminal and saw the file his boss sent over.

The content of the file was a bounty notice.

A bounty notice for Chen Ming.

The charges involved causing large-scale public harm with dangerous creatures, along with some minor charges like resisting arrest and assaulting public officials.

It seemed the military was directly blaming Chen Ming for the destruction of the Mining Space Station.

And the bounty was ninety million.

The bounty was issued just yesterday.

Which means the military fleet was definitely here for him.

Chen Ming took a few steps back, avoiding the captain, and quietly said to the other end of the comms channel: "Is my bounty really that low?"

"Aren't you focusing on the wrong part?"

"The person in charge at the Military Outpost doesn't even care about their reputation or position anymore and is coming near the Space Station just to get you."

"And I've been listening to everything you've been saying; the army's documents are out so quickly, I think there are more people and things involved."

The boss paused for a moment, then continued: "But indeed, since it involves Sky Steel, I'd better dig deeper into this for you."

"Alright."

The boss didn't say anything else for the time being.

Meanwhile, on Chen Ming's side, the captain also found himself in a difficult position.

Not many options were left: either force through, bypass, turn back to the Space Station,

or just cooperate honestly.

Forcing through the military blockade seemed anything but sensible.

And bypassing was even more outlandish.

If the fleet had noticed the military's presence before entering Superspace, they could have chosen to fly slowly through space, past the military blockade, before entering the Superspace Channel.

Or they could go around the channel, traveling through non-channel areas in Superspace, those filled with the Superspace channel clouds.

But doing so would mean enduring massive Superspace lightning strikes in the clouds, and without a large warship leading the way, mere destroyers and guards wouldn't hold.

Besides, the military fleet had already spotted Sinda Corporation's fleet; they're not fools, they wouldn't let Sinda Corporation's fleet go.

Even if the fleet wanted to turn back to the Space Station directly now, it's likely not possible,

because the military ships definitely have pulse block equipment to prevent free access to the Superspace Channel.

It might even be because of reinforcements from the Space Station that the military fleet guarding the Superspace Channel suddenly surrounded them.

The military fleet guarding all four directions totaled just over a hundred, splitting about half in each direction.

Totaling fifty warships approaching.

Half destroyers, half guards.

The destroyers mostly models named Law Enforcement, and the guards mostly Centurion and Conquest.

The fleet can't take the initiative to attack the military ships, but fortunately, the reinforcements from the Space Station protect them, so they're not completely blocked at the rear.

The military wasn't even giving face this time.

A second notification was sent directly.

It demanded the fleet disclose the ship crew list, halt the signal block, and allow the military to conduct an in-depth scan on all the fleet's vessels.

Unable to attack proactively, nor is there a way to flee directly.

Given this situation, the captain had only one option left.

Submit to inspection.

The captain suddenly turned around, left the console, and opened a sealed door at the rear of the bridge.

If Chen Ming remembered correctly, the room behind that door was marked red on the ship map.

After the captain entered first, he said to Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen, could you come over for a moment?"

Chen Ming didn't sense any danger from behind the door, and he was also curious about what the captain was up to, so he didn't resist.

He followed the captain into the bright room, with walls made of special materials, and some cargo boxes piled up in the corners.

"Mr. Chen, this is our ship's shielding chamber, which can block scanning signals."

Chen Ming waved his hand and said: "I know these, you're asking me to stay here for the time being, right?"

Chen Ming had heard from colleagues while working at the Mining Space Station that some cargo ships had similar modifications.

Originally, these materials were intended for ships that frequently approached stars, used for making the stellar protection layer on the ship's exterior.

Later, someone discovered that this material also had a certain degree of interference with scanning signals.

Thus, it became the perfect cover for some convoys engaged in smuggling activities.

Never thought even Sinda Corporation had such a design.

The captain beside Chen Ming showed an apologetic expression after hearing him speak.

Chen Ming didn't make it hard for him.

He went straight to the corner where several cargo boxes were, and sat down on one of them.

After all, rationally speaking, the captain's approach was the best way to deal with the military right now.
