CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 129 ONGOING PLAN, PSYCHIC’S PARTNER_3

If the exploration ship encounters an accident, the entire exploration mission could be aborted.

Therefore, the exploration ship must have combat capability for self-defense under any circumstances.

Normally, to purchase an exploration ship, an organization directly applies, stating the intention to conduct exploration.

Otherwise, if an individual purchases, they must possess an armed ship permit.

However, permits are minor issues; Chen Ming could even buy military Centurions, so obtaining exploration ship permits is even less of a concern.

But the key issue now is that Chen Ming is technically dead, and he temporarily doesn’t want humanity to know he’s still alive.

He could buy materials from other Star Realms, but he cannot entrust others with buying a spacecraft; there’s no way around it.

Because Chen Ming himself doesn’t have Old Wu’s wide connections.

So, even if Old Wu buys it on his behalf instead of Chen Ming personally,

anyone who has been paying attention to Chen Ming will definitely notice these things.

Old Wu couldn’t buy an exploration ship for no reason, so the real purchaser is obvious.

If it’s exposed that he’s still alive, it won’t benefit him.

Once the Fourteenth Legion notices that Chen Ming is alive, they would be on unprecedented alert and might even try to kill him again.

After all, him being alive is certainly bad news for the previous fleet commander and those who decided to kill him.

Someone like Chen Ming must either be rescued or killed completely to prevent future troubles. Since the attempt was made but he wasn’t killed, it’s outright foolishness.

They are definitely aware of this.

So they absolutely do not want to see Chen Ming still alive.

However, organizing a fleet on the same scale as before is no longer possible.

Thus, the chance for the Fourteenth Legion to come and kill him is slim, but they might try to find someone who knows him to force Chen Ming to appear.

Chen Ming doesn’t worry about the safety of the factory manager and Old Wu.

After all, they have the protection of the boss and the company.

Chen Ming once heard the factory manager nearly call the company’s chairman an old thing.

This company previously couldn’t protect the Mining Space Station because they didn’t know the existence of Sky Steel and didn’t dare to offend the local military for a few ordinary employees.

But if they can’t even protect the chairman’s descendants, then the company might as well go bankrupt.

Old Wu is also crafty, with the boss and factory manager’s protection, it’s virtually impossible for anything to happen.

But the problem is Chen Ming’s planned revenge would be hard to implement because of their alertness.

Thus, considering all this, obtaining the exploration ship is somewhat tricky.

Chen Ming thought about it; perhaps it would be simpler to ask Dusk directly.

If they give, that’s great; if not, it doesn’t matter.

After all, Chen Ming is gambling now, and Dusk is gambling too.

Chen Ming is betting he can gain benefits from Dusk and leave unscathed.

Dusk is betting they can restrain Chen Ming and proceed with a second Spiritual Energy extraction.

In order for Chen Ming to stay put rather than cause trouble by escaping or committing suicide if he can’t run away, paying a price should be acceptable to them.

Chen Ming still has Brilliant to help play a double game, getting some benefits from Dusk shouldn’t be difficult.

It’s a mutually agreed upon matter.

If they ultimately refuse to give, Chen Ming might as well directly contact the boss.

Though there is certainly surveillance from various forces around the factory manager and Old Wu, the boss’s side absolutely won’t have such issues.

The boss can certainly discreetly get an exploration ship, and Chen Ming can afford the cost of one.

As long as Chen Ming can avoid others’ surveillance on his spacecraft and contact the boss.

This isn’t actually hard to achieve.

It’s just utilizing the engineering ship under his control in the maintenance factory.

Chen Ming always has the highest authority over the ship he controls, altering data records is the simplest task.

The deputy factory manager and Old Wu have legitimate reasons to go out on the engineering ship for work.

In outer space around the Space Station, if only the factory manager and Old Wu are on the ship, only they would know what happens aboard.

Moreover, after Chen Ming’s ability progressed, he thought of a new way of communication.

Now, he can control any unmodified mechanical item after it’s been in contact with him or placed on his ship.

Personal terminals are also included.

Chen Ming can directly use his ability to control the terminal, typing or voice broadcasting for communication.

There’s no need for links between spacecraft communication devices and terminals.

Though it seems Chen Ming could do this before, he previously needed to modify terminals, and thus didn’t think it through.

But now, it’s not too late.

As long as the factory manager and Old Wu head out on the engineering ship for tasks, Chen Ming can settle this matter.

Next, wait for the exploration ship to be ready and Dusk’s second experiment to start.

Then it will be Chen Ming’s time for real action.

During this period, besides preparation work, he has some extra things to do.

Such as retrieving the Radiance Level stolen by Gamma A.

Chen Ming has been eyeing it for a long while; Brilliant could probably assist him in this aspect too.

"Ah, right."

A dangerous expression suddenly appeared on Chen Ming’s face: "Where is the G3 core?"
