Hours later, eight Pisces Pirate Regiment's warships leaped into hyperspace with the space station in tow.

As soon as the Pisces Pirates left on the front foot, the reinforcement fleet of the Prader Empire arrived in this star system.

"Where's our space station?" The commander of the reinforcement fleet looked at the empty mining star orbit dumbfounded.

"Sir, has it been destroyed by pirates, you see there are still wreckage there." A soldier pointed to a scrap of metal floating in the distance.

"Impossible, how could there be such a small fragment after the explosion of such a large mineral transfer station." The commander shook his head.

"Sir, we've received a distress signal from the ground of the Mining Star." The correspondent in charge of the battleship's communications reported loudly.

"Let's go, let's go." The Commander nodded.

Five destroyers were detached from the support fleet and flew towards the surface of the Mining Star.

With a huge gust of air blowing the slag off the ground, five destroyers landed in the clearing of the mining site.

"Sir! Sir! The pirates stole everything! Even the entire space station was towed away by them! As soon as the deck of the spacecraft hit the ground, the person in charge of the space station ran over crying and shouting.

"Oh? Tell me what's going on. The Commander of the Support Fleet asked the head of the space station, pushing aside the guards standing in front of him.

"Two days ago.... A fleet has appeared near our space station...."The person in charge of the space station told me everything about what happened, and of course his artistic processing was indispensable.

"I can't blame you for this matter, the other party is too powerful, a fleet of this size is not something that your space station can stop, I will ask your superiors for forgiveness of your innocence." The fleet commander nodded.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The person in charge of the space station hurriedly nodded.

"Alright, you go down and call the others." The commander waved his hand.

The head of the space station turned to leave, and where the fleet commander could not see, the head of the space station touched the bearer passbook in his pocket and smirked.

The space pirates had just embezzled a batch of precious associated minerals, and were thinking about how to destroy the evidence, but the space pirates had dragged the entire space station away, and all the evidence was gone.

A day later, a "carriage" of space stations appeared near the Ark's hidden asteroid sea.

After Liu Rushun sent the security code to the Ark, dozens of construction drones flew out of the Ark's harbor and came to the asteroid in front of the fleet.

Dozens of chains flew out, and the construction drone carefully dragged aside the asteroid that was blocking between the Pisces pirates and the ark.

After the asteroids used to conceal the ark were all towed away, eight warships began to drag the space station into the asteroid sea.

"Alright, alright, just leave it here." Liu Rushun hurriedly clapped his hands after seeing through the holographic screen that the space station had stopped next to a huge asteroid.

"The construction ship and the drone began to expand along the original space station, connecting this space station to this metal ore asteroid, and then hollowing out the minerals inside the asteroid."

"Also, report to me on the materials we seized this time." Liu Rushun seemed to be deflated, and lazily lay on his command chair to command.

"Commander, we have captured one medium-sized transit space station, three large transport ships, eight medium-sized transport ships, and five small transport ships this time."

"In addition, there are 12 million tons of precious minerals, 12,000 tons of food, 10,000 tons of distilled water, and a large number of other items." An officer sent a list to Mr. Liu's terminal.

"Very good, three large transport ships are used to transform into drone carriers, and eight medium transport ships are converted into combat ships"

"Those five small transports will be transformed into frigates and stay here on patrol in the Ark." Liu Rushun thought about it and divided the captured transport ships into the next division.

Although he very much wanted to directly build all kinds of new warships sent by the Imperial Headquarters, but they had no choice but to build warships at all.

The Ark's fabrication facilities are now in full swing with production lines and metal breakdown printing equipment, which will be the foundation of the Pirates' future development.

The new warships can only be built when enough equipment is built, and the captured transports will be converted to serve as combat ships for the time being.

As Liu Rushun's orders reached the various departments in the ark, the three transport ships were towed by tugboats into three improvised shipyards that had just been built when the fleet went out hunting.

This kind of simple shipyard can only do assembly work, not build ships, it is completely three empty shells with some mechanical arms.

And the "Pisces Pirate Regiment's Personnel Department" on the Ark began to select the right members among the sleeping immigrants immersed in the virtual world.

A man and a woman in their virtual world suddenly receive a dialog box floating in front of them, which briefly introduces the current situation of the Ark.

and gave them two choices, one was to choose to wake up, become a member of the pirate group, and work hard with the head of the group, Liu Rushun.

The second is to wait until the strength of the pirate group is strong enough, destroy the surrounding civilizations, and then wake them up, and then they can directly start colonizing work.

Because they were afraid that too many people would wake up at one time, the personnel department of the pirate group chose 10,000 people and 10,000 people to question.

Unexpectedly, more than seventy percent of these sleeping colonists chose to wake up.

Soon the size of the pirate group began to swell rapidly, and a large number of awakened colonists became the new blood of the pirate group, and all the facilities on the ark and the space station were activated.

The mining ship carried in the Ark also began mining for minerals in the surrounding asteroid sea.

With the expansion of the pirate group and the surge in numbers, people's hearts began to slowly become dissipated, and it was obvious that Liu Rushun, the captain, could not fully convince the public.

Because his position is for a certain period of time, it will be automatically relieved after a certain period of time, and then a new captain will be selected from the next batch of awakened ones.

Now Liu Rushun's approach is undoubtedly taking power for himself and concentrating power in his own hands.

Liu Rushun, who felt that the hearts of the people around him were beginning to change, was also helpless, he himself didn't want to seize power or anything, but a stable pirate group could not be democratic, it must be controlled by a dictator.

But it was no longer possible to do something, Liu Rushun once heard someone talking about whether he wanted to betray His Majesty and become independent from the empire and take the Pisces Ark into his own hands.

Wronged! He didn't dare to think like this, if he really betrayed His Majesty, all the colonists would tear him apart!
