My Empire of Stars

Chapter 355: Really. Sweeping Everything Away

"Ah, you see, we are all poor people working in remote areas. You can't get much from us. Why don't you let us go? There are a lot of supplies in the space station." The person in charge said in horror, because he was carrying his anonymous passbook with him.

"Don't worry, I won't rob you of your things. I just want you to take your belongings." Liu Rushun said dissatisfiedly, with a look on his face that said you don't believe me.

The people in the square reluctantly put the things in their backpacks on the flat ground in front of them.

"You didn't miss or hide anything, did you?" Liu Rushun asked everyone with narrowed eyes.

"No, no." Everyone waved their hands, and the eyes of several people who hid valuables were a little shaky.

"No, soldiers, come and take them all to a transport ship. They should be able to fit in if they squeeze in." Liu Rushun nodded, turned around and ordered the pirate soldiers behind him.

"You are not going to sell us! You don't keep your word!" The person in charge of the space station felt something was wrong, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly to Liu Rushun.

The people behind him were in a commotion after hearing the news. They knew what would happen to people who were sold as slaves by pirates!

"I'll fight you!" Several guards shouted and rushed towards the nearby pirate soldiers, but how could they be opponents of the pirate soldiers with bare hands? They were all knocked to the ground after just one encounter.

"Oh? You think too much. Good boy, hello, me, and everyone. Come in and take them away!" Liu Rushun looked at the rioting crowd with dissatisfaction and clapped his hands.

With a sound of footsteps, the doors opened inward, and fully armed pirates rushed into the square. The places where their rifles pointed immediately became quiet.

Many staff members in the space station, as well as the captain and crew, had no choice but to pick up their personal belongings under the guns of the pirates and walked towards the port.

Soon, all the captives in the space station were taken to a transport ship carrying survival supplies.

As the door of the transport ship warehouse closed, everyone in the space station showed a horrified look. They didn't know what was waiting for them.

After a vibration, everyone felt that the spaceship under them had left the port and began to fly in an unknown direction.

Everyone's face was full of despair. They knew that they had no chance to escape. If they opened the sealed cabin, there would be an uninhabitable universe outside. They might be sold to a black mine on a remote planet or some laboratory that needed living human subjects.

The entire cabin was dead silent until a violent vibration came from under their feet, and they woke up.

"Why is it so fast? Is it passing through the atmosphere?" The person in charge of the space station lay on the wall of the spaceship and listened carefully to the movement outside the spaceship.

Sure enough, there was a violent friction sound from the outer shell of the spaceship. There was no doubt that the spaceship was flying into the atmosphere, but why were they taken to their mining planet?

A few minutes later, the spaceship landed heavily on an open space, and the violent vibration made everyone in the cabin stagger.

But then the sunlight that fell from the slowly opened door attracted the attention of these people.

When the cargo door of the transport ship was completely opened, the ground environment of the mining planet they were familiar with appeared in front of them.

"Captain Liu keeps his word. He only wants money and not lives! Now you are free!" Liu Rushun's voice appeared in the cargo hold of the transport ship.

After the captured people in the space station looked at each other, they ran to the open space outside the transport ship in surprise.

Only when they stepped on the real ground did they dare to believe that this was real and they really came back alive.

"Why did they send us back to the ground?" The person in charge of the space station was puzzled.

At this time, in the orbit of this mining planet, the eight warships had all gathered together, and the warehouses on the ship were full of various supplies.

"Launch the towing rope!" Liu Rushun glanced at the soldiers behind him, and when the soldiers nodded, he ordered into the intercom.

The eight Pisces Pirates' warships aimed their tails at the floating space station, and hundreds of metal cables shot out from the warships.

The heads of the metal cables were huge electromagnetic suction cups. As these suction cups hit various parts of the space station, the electromagnetic suction cups began to work and firmly fixed the cables to the space station.

These cables were originally prepared so that if the Ark's power system was damaged, it could still be carried by the warship to fly.

Not only that, because of the special nature of hyperspace, only objects that are in contact with solids or completely wrapped can jump into hyperspace together.

So the tractor beams equipped on the imperial warships cannot carry objects for jumps, but the traction cables can.

That's right, Liu Rushun was not satisfied with the various materials in the space station. He planned to drag the entire space station into the asteroid sea and slowly build a real pirate base.

At this time, the person in charge of the space station on the surface of the planet would never have thought that the reason why this group of pirates sent them to the surface of the planet was to pack up the entire space station and take it away!

How crazy would a pirate do this? This is something that people on the ground can't imagine.

"Okay, all the hyperspace engines of the warships start to accumulate energy, let's go!" Liu Rushun pressed the button on the console hard.

The eight warships that received the departure order slowly dragged the space station forward while charging the hyperspace engine.

Because of the large mass of the object, the energy required for the hyperspace engine was too huge, and the Empire's warships needed to store energy for a longer time before they could start the jump.

"Right!" Liu Rushun suddenly remembered something and connected the warship's artillery to his console.

As he carefully turned the turret, he put a group of signal towers of the space station into the sight.

"Boom." Liu Rushun made an onomatopoeia and pressed the trigger of the artillery. A launcher flew to the space station and blew the communication signal tower of the space station into a pile of debris.

"Is there any signal from this space station?" Liu Rushun clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"Report to the commander, this space station has no signal, but... we can close it from the inside, why do you want to blow up the signal tower?" A soldier asked puzzledly.

"If you don't blow it up, how do you know if they have left a backdoor? Just to be on the safe side." Liu Rushun rolled his eyes. He would never admit that he was too careless.
