We’re still short of 3 spots. But it’s alright, I’ll recruit 2 doctors and 1 cook to fill the gap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Okens, the ship is so big, and the logistical staff is so few, is that really okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mu asked somewhat uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Blakes spoke coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will replace them with intelligent robots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it too risky to use intelligent robots? What if we run into the Mechanical Clan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keku and others asked worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not something you need to worry about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blakes replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Dr. Blakes say this, Keku and others immediately shut their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Su Ming looked at Vice City Lord Okens and inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the matter is more or less settled. Lord Okens, which ship shall we board?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, um…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice City Lord Okens suddenly looked a bit uncomfortable and spoke hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Okens in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Listen to me, everyone. Because my visit this time was sudden, I only brought a Star Destroyer and don’t have a Level 5 Battleship on hand. Most of the Level 5 Battleships found in a rush are too old, without semi-intelligent modules, and not up to our requirements…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okens explained awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuan, upon hearing this, said bewilderedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord, do you mean you haven’t found a ship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, I mean I haven’t found a suitable ship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okens corrected awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming was also a bit speechless; after all this time, it turns out the problem was on Okens’ side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got to be kidding. Without a ship, how are we going to compete? The competition starts tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mu and others were dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice City Lord Okens knew he kind of messed up, but he really couldn’t get a Level 5 Ship with semi-intelligent modules for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he was distressed, Lin Chuyu suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming and others looked at Lin Chuyu and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What solution?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Admiral Ames has a well-performing Level 5 Battleship, the Light Shuttle; maybe we can borrow it from him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu said to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that feasible? Will he lend us the ship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, now which general in the military dares to defy Commander Alekde’s will?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mu and others expressed concerns, not really optimistic about the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Su Ming said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think we can give it a try. Although General Ames is stationed at the Cosmic Army Headquarters, he is a man of integrity and also a member of the Imperial Court Sect; perhaps we can borrow it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard of Ames; he has an excellent reputation. We can try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice City Lord Okens’ eyes brightened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Okens, how about you write a dispatch authorization letter, and I will go with Lin Chuyu to visit General Ames.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming contemplated and said to Vice City Lord Okens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, I’ll write it for you right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okens took out a notebook and pen, wrote a simple dispatch authorization letter, took his seal to stamp it, and then handed it to Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuyu, Ruoxue we’re off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming took the dispatch authorization letter and hurried off with Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of Su Ming rushed back to the Blackthorn Planet Fortress, the Cosmic Army Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Admiral Ames is on the 4th floor, in the office on the west side. He should not be off duty at this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu looked at the time on his wristband and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s hurry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming ran towards the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ruoxue and another followed closely behind Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They soon took the elevator to the 4th floor and arrived at the door of an officer’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu raised his hand and knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stern voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu then pushed open the door, bringing Su Ming and Ruoxue inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, the entire office was very simply decorated, with rows of cabinets on the walls filled with various files.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the innermost part was a metal desk, where a middle-aged man with a defined facial structure, thick eyebrows, graying temples, deep eyes, exuding an aura of authority, in a Vice Admiral’s uniform, sat steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Xia An and a burly, bald middle-aged man in a Junior General’s uniform were standing in front of the desk, receiving work instructions from Admiral Ames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia An, Cheng Yao, did you understand what I instructed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia An and the other responded respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the three of Su Ming approached, and Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue greeted respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“General Ames!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ames turned his head to look at Lin Chuyu, nodding slightly, then his gaze landed on Su Ming, his brows furrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that this young man looked a bit familiar but couldn’t recall from where, and then he spoke to Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have we met before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“General Ames, you might have seen me before. I’m the examinee you deducted points from during the Thirteenth District city exam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming explained with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Ames immediately reacted and said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s you. I thought you looked familiar. Have you joined the army too?”\u003C\u002Fp>",917,"2026-06-02T10:50:13.756Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f672e65ffa7bdbc950a721dbf692b6798f54bb0fceee81d19e81e4689ce0197","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-765","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-763",1854,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshadows-of-the-deep-space-cover.jpg"]
