Nuclear Warhead Cooked in Wine

At the opening ceremony of Sea Blue Star Basic Military Academy, as the representative of the incoming freshmen, Guding proclaimed his grand ambition in front of all the teachers and students: 
"I'm Guding! I'm gonna become the Man with the Highest Bounty in the entire Cosmic Sea!"
--------------------------------------------
It is an era of artificial superintelligences, interstellar travel, gene medicine, and virtual reality worlds. 
Far into Earth's future, 15-year-old Gu Ding is a student of Cerulean Military Academy by day, and tavern waiter by night. 
His ambition: Become the space pirate with the highest bounty offered by the Universal Federation Government. 
With the help of Neptune, a neonate super-intelligence, Guding finds himself thrust into a galaxy of shadowy organizations, political under dealings, and otherworldly forces that lie beyond human comprehension…

The Highest Bounty

The Federation Government had various classifications for the star domains within its jurisdiction. For instance, the Red Star Domain indicated extremely dangerous areas, the Black Star Domain referred to areas controlled by interstellar pirates, the Golden Star Domain denoted highly developed star domains. As for the Gray Star Domain, it represented unmanaged abandoned star domains.


Generally speaking, the Gray Star Domain used to be an area where intelligent life once appeared, but for certain reasons, the population of intelligent life within the star domain sharply declined, making the presence of personnel from the Federation Government unnecessary.


With the network blocked, the Sea Emperor couldn't access specific information about this star domain and had to rely on the ship's radar system to detect the presence of life forms. Fortunately, the radar on the Eagle Chicks was a recent model that could locate the existence and specific location of life forms.
