An Abandoned Space Station
Xia Fei drank two cups of tea and did a simple analysis of the mission briefing before he began cleaning the library. Qin Mang stood up and silently made his way to the basement. He pulled out a microcomputer from his pocket and established a video call with Ye Jingshan.
Ye Jingshan, who was in the middle of handling some documents, immediately stood up when he heard Qin Mangs call. He quickly tidied up his clothes and hair, puffing out his chest and looking very serious.
Sir, were you looking for me? Ye Jingshan respectfully bowed to Qin Mang, bending his body at a 90-degree angle, as precise as a ruler.
Qin Mang casually waved his hand. Jingshan, didnt I tell you many times already? There is no need to be so serious. Ive always hated people who pretend to be serious.
Yes, this student understands. Ye Jingshan straightened his body and lowered his head slightly, looking very respectful.
Qin Mang sighed. Have you been hiding something from me lately?
Ye Jingshan was stunned as he hurriedly asked, Sir, where did you get that from?
Let me start with Xia Fei. Qin Mang found a chair and sat down, crossing one leg over the other as he said, The students of the training camp only have training and assessment missions, but I just realized that the mission briefing you gave Xia Fei was actually an official level 2 mission. Whats going on?
"This …" Ye Jingshan hesitated. He lowered his head even more, like a student admitting his mistake.
This student cant talk about it, Ye Jingshan forced himself to say.
Qin Mang chuckled. Thats true. Im already unemployed, so there are indeed some things that I shouldnt ask about.
Ye Jingshan's face alternated between red and white as he hesitantly said, Sir, its indeed very important, so this student cant talk about it.
Qin Mang narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ye Jingshan. Jingshan, out of all my students, youre the most promising and the most hardworking, yet youre also the stupidest. Im not trying to nag at you, but it will be very tiring for you to behave like this. Alright, Im not here to make things difficult for you. I just wanted to let you know that Xia Fei will be my student.
Ye Jingshan became very anxious when he heard that. With a bitter face, he said, Teacher, it's only right for you to accept a student, and I'm happy for Xia Fei, too, but you can't be thinking of passing the item to Xia Fei, right? That young man is too frivolous and somewhat unreliable.
Qin Mang snorted coldly, frowning deeply. Don't say that I haven't decided who I'm going to pass it to. Even if I did, so what? At least he's cunning enough and not stupid. A blockhead like you won't be able to keep it even if I pass it to you. Qin Mang snorted coldly.
Ye Jingshan was filled with fear and trepidation as he solemnly said, "Teacher, your criticism is correct."
Qin Mangs helplessly waved his hand. Why are you so inflexible? Forget it, Ill not waste my breath with you. No matter what secrets you have, if Xia Fei loses even a single hair on his body, hmph!
Turning off the screen, Qin Mangs thought for a while in the basement before he got up and walked out. Xia Fei was still busy cleaning the place. Fortunately, his ability was speed, so it was not too slow for him to clean the huge library.
Qin Mangs stared at Xia Fei for a while before shouting for him to come to his side.
The tea has lost its flavor, right? Ill get you a new pot, Xia Fei said with a smile.
Qin Mangs shook his head. Xia Fei, your speed seems to have improved again?
Heh, I accidentally advanced in that training center in the internal division yesterday, and now I'm at the Advanced Star Base rank.
Oh, is that so. Qin Mangs smiled. It's not easy to advance your speed ability. Looks like you've been putting in a lot of effort. That's good.
"Go get number 65894."
Xia Fei jogged over and found the book Qin Mangs wanted from the bookshelf before placing it on the table.
Qin Mangs picked up the book and glanced at it. The title was' Amarr V Outpost Space Station Emergency Guide '.
Youre heading to this space station for your mission this time. Scan it into your computer; you might find it useful, Qin Mangs said as he handed the book to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei smiled. Ive already downloaded a set of detailed information on the Amarr V Outpost Space Station. It's better than this one for the public to read because it involves many security secrets. This book is specially distributed by Amarr, one of the four major manufacturers in the universe, so it's different from the one youve downloaded.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. There's such a thing?
Qin Mang pointed at the map with his chubby finger. Remember, if there's something or a piece of information that everyone in the Alliance knows about and can look up, then it's definitely not something good. Things that are truly valuable are always kept in secret. "
Xia Fei nodded heavily, glancing at the thousands of books in the library from the corner of his eye. Truly valuable things … Perhaps my decision to enter this library this time was the right one.
An Amarr Engineer-class frigate took off from the north spaceport of Heaven Execution Training Camp, heading deep into space. Its destination was the abandoned space station GPP1796.
The Engineer-class frigate was one of the bigger frigates out there, able to carry over a hundred crew members and all sorts of equipment and supplies, allowing it to travel in space for a very long time without interruption.
As the most elite team in the Union, Team 13 had a total of two dedicated frigates. The Engineer-class was used for long-distance missions and missions that required a lot of equipment, while the other was a Mitar-class Rift frigate. The Rift frigate was small and fast, making it suitable for emergency missions and manhunt missions.
Xia Fei circled around the ship and realized that it was loaded with quite a lot of equipment. Many of them were high-power equipment, and there was even a multi-purpose armored vehicle parked in the cargo hold.
It was fortunate that the Engineer-class frigate had an exceptional capacity and size. If it were Xia Fei's Lunar Eclipse, it would not even be able to fit a third of the equipment.
As the saying went, there were pros and cons. After this frigate was fully equipped, its mobility became very poor. Xia Fei estimated that if this frigate encountered his Lunar Eclipse, it would only take fifteen minutes at most for Lunar Eclipse to make this frigate disappear into space.
After all, Lunar Eclipse's modifications were all for combat and survival in space, so it did not have any excess equipment. This frigate, on the other hand, was designed for multi-purpose missions. It was large and clumsy, with all its functions but lacking any special features.
The ship entered autopilot, and Xiao Haili called Xia Fei and the others to the cafeteria to prepare for a mission assignment meeting.
Since the frigate did not have many crew members, it would not normally have a separate conference room, so the cafeteria was modified to be multi-purpose. From eating, to entertainment, to meetings, everything could be done in this room.
The cafeteria was very large, and the facilities were very complete. There were even three comfortable long sofas and a few gaming consoles for leisure, which was something Lunar Eclipse could not compare to. In order to make more space for combat equipment, Lunar Eclipse's cafeteria only had a square alloy table and four chairs, looking very simple.
Queiroz very attentively poured Moon Song a cup of coffee. Ever since they boarded the frigate, the affectionate Queiroz had been pestering Moon Song. Little did he know that Moon Song's sexual orientation was different from the average woman, and in order to win her heart, Queiroz had to be prepared to undergo a sex change surgery.
Xiao Haili, Queiroz, and Bosingwa stood in front of Xia Fei and the others like teachers. Xiao Haili purposely coughed twice before turning on the large screen in the cafeteria. Have you all seen the mission briefing?
Everyone nodded. This was their first mission, and everyone was very excited. Of course, they had spent a lot of time and effort studying the mission briefing.
Xiao Haili paused for a moment before pointing to a picture of the space station on the screen. This is our destination, GPP1796 space station. A few days ago, a fleet of transport ships passed by here, and their radar inadvertently scanned the space station with a spaceship without an Alliance code. In terms of size, the spaceship is somewhere between a frigate and a destroyer.
Thats why our mission this time is to conduct a routine inspection of the space station to see if anyone has illegally infiltrated it. If necessary, we will even enter the space station to conduct a search.
This mission is a level 2 mission, considered a low-level routine mission, so we wont have any backup support. If we need backup support, the nearest fleet will need at least twelve hours to arrive. If anything out of the ordinary happens, we can only rely on ourselves to resolve it, Xiao Haili said seriously.
Queiroz chuckled. Brother Hai, theyre all rookies, so dont scare them. What backup support? Its just a routine inspection. Moon Song, dont be afraid; your brother is here.
Xiao Haili glared at the cheeky Queiroz. A mission is a mission, and there is no difference between a level 1 mission and a level 9 mission. Both need to be taken seriously. Alright, if you have any questions, ask them now. If not, lets go for a break.
After Beihai and Manjun asked a few perfunctory questions, the meeting was adjourned, and everyone went for a break.
Xia Fei returned to his cabin and immersed himself in reading the information Qin Mangs had given him about the space station. He then practiced Sly Thrust and Breath Control a few times.
Xia Fei had just leveled up not too long ago, and using combat techniques at 400m/s and 800m/s were two completely different concepts. He needed a lot of practice to get used to the increase in speed.
The sixteen-hour voyage passed by quickly, and the interior of the warship lit up with a yellow indicator light, indicating that they had arrived at the designated location and were ready to begin their exploration.
Xia Fei walked out of his cabin and into the bridge. Before he even stepped through the door, he could already hear Bosingwa's voice in the command deck. Whats going on? The life support and gravity systems of this space station are all activated! This is an abandoned space station; could someone be living in the space station?
