Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 547 - 179: Yan Xiong’s Application Method_2

Chapter 547: Chapter 179: Yan Xiong’s Application Method_2

Although he had already learned the basics from Bai Quan before, there’s no harm in hearing it again.

The director cleared his throat and recounted the entire incident in detail.

The Space Station had interrogated for quite some time, so the information they obtained was more detailed than what Bai Quan had previously explained to Chen Ming.

The director even detailed the actions of the commissioner from the time he took office until he fled on a cruise ship, only to be brought back by Chen Ming.

All of the commissioner’s non-compliant and illegal activities were laid out meticulously, down to the hour for each occurrence.

Of course, Chen Ming couldn’t care less about the commissioner’s corruption and bribery, unless it directly affected the director and him.

So he only paid close attention to the part where the commissioner cooperated with the Battle Zone military.

The general content was basically the same as Bai Quan had said; knowing the precise timeline brought little significance.

The director could tell from Chen Ming’s demeanor that he was utterly uninterested and half-asleep.

He suddenly said, "Additionally, we previously caught two Zuo Jing members at the Space Station who didn’t dare to self-destruct, as their convictions weren’t strong enough."

"We interrogated these two and discovered the location of a Zuo Jing base, which we verified against previous commissioner communication records, confirming the interrogation results."

"It’s an independent space station much like the Mining Space Station you used to work at, but it’s been infiltrated by Zuo Jing and is now under their control."

"The bounty has been issued, the Space Station is completely sealed off, awaiting resolution."

"However, it seems the Fourteenth Legion hasn’t made a move."

"Oh?"

When this was mentioned by the director, Chen Ming was no longer sleepy.

The more money, the better.

Gamma B is currently running all over the Gallo Star Realm capturing pirates.

Now there’s a cult organization appearing nearby.

To Chen Ming, as long as there’s a bounty, cultists are no different from pirates. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Though the target is a Space Station.

But a Mining Space Station of this scale doesn’t possess cruiser-level shields or large weapons like the Pirate Space Station does.

Chen Ming is completely unfazed.

However, he needs to confirm something: "How much is the bounty for these Zuo Jing members?"

"The bounty for the leader of Zuo Jing is 500 million from the Fourteenth Legion and government, considering the scale of the Mining Space Station there."

"Other scattered Zuo Jing members on the Space Station can collectively reach about 500 million."

Chen Ming recalled the situation of the Mining Space Station in his mind and said, "Feels like the bounty is a bit low compared to the damage caused by these Zuo Jing members."

"Even thirty years ago, a Mining Space Station would have required at least billions for development and construction, right?"

The director thought for a while and said, "Hmm... roughly."

"But that’s the original price. Depreciation means the Space Station isn’t worth as much; it’s normal if it halves."

"This 10 billion already represents 20% of the depreciated 50 billion, which is pretty good."

Chen Ming thought for a moment and agreed.

If the bounty for these terrorists exceeded the value of the Space Station they occupied, it would be somewhat ridiculous.

Just as Chen Ming was about to inquire about the specifics of the bounty targets, the director suddenly added, "But."

"That Space Station is a Plant Research Station used to test the special effects of stellar radiation on plants on habitable planets."

"The Harmony Plant Research Institute Company behind the Space Station has offered an additional bounty with specific requirements."

"If the structural damage to the Space Station doesn’t exceed 10%, they will pay an additional 300 million. A specialized appraisal company will determine the damage extent."

"If the research results are preserved, an extra 500 million will be rewarded, and rescued researchers will receive additional rewards based on their number and identity."

"Do as you see fit."

Chen Ming bowed his head in contemplation, he said, "But since these bounties are public, I won’t be the only one heading there; meeting these additional requirements may not be achievable."

The director quickly responded with a convincing answer.

"It’s all up to luck."

"First come, first served. If you take down the Space Station early, fulfill the additional goals, and record evidence, they’ll pay up even if unforeseen incidents occur later."

"If you arrive later, cooperation is usually preferred, but when necessary..."

The director didn’t continue, but Chen Ming understood the implication.

"In such cases, if you complete the objective, it’s best to contact the company directly and have your spacecraft wait there for a while for their people to receive."

"The subsequent issues will definitely be handled by the company, and you won’t need to claim the bounty personally."

"Of course, the same applies to the earlier situation; you can also contact them. Since they are willing to offer extra rewards, they surely want to personally handle these Zuo Jing members, so leave it to them."

"If they’re willing to pay, why don’t they arrange a fleet to fight themselves?"

Hmm... do you think deploying a fleet is cheap?

For this scale, normally, seven or eight destroyers and twenty or thirty guards are essential.

Adding the combat models together, it’s far from being inexpensive.
