Chapter 130 The Plan in Execution, The Psyker’s Companion
The three questions Chen Ming asked himself actually always had the answers in his mind.
What he wants to do most now is simple. He wants to leave the Afterglow Star Territory and take revenge on the people who caused his current situation.
Brilliant's existence can ensure that he can leave at any time, so the only thing left is revenge.
The Fourteenth Legion.
The former head of the military in the star region.
As well as those who instruct the military in the sector in the war zone, this is what Old Wu told him.
In addition, there is the psyker that the boss mentioned before who blocked the boss's rescue.
These are his goals.
Of course, Chen Ming also knows that he may not be able to do these things now, so he has a considerable degree of patience to prepare.
He survived the month of survival on Ruimu, and the half-year of drifting alone in space. A few more years of dormant development was nothing to him.
But because of this, he can't just think about what to do now. Future survival is also an issue that he must consider and urgently need to consider.
And this involves his purpose all along.
Chen Ming's long-standing goals have actually been changing due to changes in the current situation or the achievement of goals.
And as he grows, his goals become bigger and harder to achieve.
And his current purpose has actually not changed for a while.
I just want to develop myself and show more value to myself.
To put it more accurately, Chen Ming wants to become stronger, whether it is psychic power or the technology he masters.
That's why Chen Ming has been learning techniques and exercising his psychic abilities.
This is a long-term goal that he will continue to do and will never stop.
Since Chen Ming wants to attack the Fourteenth Legion in the future, he will definitely not be able to survive within the empire, so his only option is to go outside the Human Empire to achieve his goals.
So whether it's for the future or for his long-standing goal.
Going to other galaxies to survive is what he has to do.
In order to survive, the first priority is to survive.
Chen Ming needs basic supplies that can continue to survive after leaving the human world.
Food, water, daily necessities, spacecraft fuel.
These things sound very common and are easy to do.
But after leaving the human world, these products of industrialization and modernization are extremely difficult to obtain.
Therefore, when Chen Ming needs to solve these problems, a colony that can produce these basic materials is the key, and it is what he must build.
There is absolutely no escaping this.
Without the support of the colony and the support of modern industrial technology, if Chen Ming left like this, the consequences would be obvious.
Under the dual attack of Afterglow and humans in the future, the fuel of Chen Ming's spacecraft will be exhausted within a few days.
Next in the cold space is heat.
If he cannot find a habitable planet before then, Chen Ming may not even be able to survive until the spacecraft's food and water are exhausted.
Of course this is an extreme situation.
Chen Ming was already considering a solution to the problem that his psychic powers could not replenish fuel while repairing the spacecraft.
Moreover, he had already relied on refraction to find livable planets before. Even if he really couldn't get the basic supplies, he would have to survive in the wild again.
What's more, as long as he is not exposed, he can still obtain some supplies through the pirate space station.
Of course, extreme situations are extreme situations. If Chen Ming doesn't think of a solution, then these situations will only come sooner or later.
It's just that extreme situations come quickly, and other situations come slowly, giving him time to prepare.
Chen Ming had talked with his boss about the colony before and knew what the most basic needs were for colony construction.
People, materials and technology.
Chen Ming already has the most difficult person to get.
There is no difference between individuals and people in Afterglow.
In some cases it may even be better than humans.
It would definitely be better for Chen Ming to start the construction of a colony with the Yuhui under his control instead of the manpower supported by the boss.
Then there are the materials to support the early construction of the colony and the materials to maintain the operation of the colony.
The latter stated that he had reserves.
Some time ago, because pirates launched an attack on the supply fleet of his colony, the boss specifically asked Chen Ming, who was about to find trouble with the pirates, to change his target and kidnap the pirates back.
The colonial supplies stolen by the pirates were also seized by Chen Ming.
Originally, he wanted to return the supplies to the boss, but the boss refused, saying that the colony had already replenished a new batch of supplies and this batch was no longer needed.
So I gave him the supplies and asked him to handle them himself.
Chen Ming originally wanted to sell it, but no one collected these things during the previous period, so it was difficult to sell them.
In addition, Chen Ming thought it might be useful to keep it, so he stayed at the pirate space station.
I didn’t expect it to actually be useful now.
This batch of materials excludes the supplies for people working in the colony, and the remaining supplies can fully support the initial development of the colony.
As for the starting materials for the colony, Chen Ming will ask Gamma Z to arrange afterglow individuals from different departments to start collecting them.
Not only can you collect supplies, but you can also collect some colonial facilities that are difficult to collect but have equipment that can be collected.
When the time comes, pack them all up and take them with you during the jump.
After this batch of supplies is consumed, the colony can become self-sufficient.
The colony will also need external supplies for a period of time.
Until then, Yu Hui will never give Chen Ming a chance to sneak around.
So he can only think of solutions from humans or other places.
In fact, the boss can also provide some sources of supplies.
Although Chen Ming has decided not to get excessive help from other people, Chen Ming can still try to seek this kind of material help that he can afford.
We'll see if the boss is willing or not.
After all, the purpose shown by the boss when he first mentioned the matter of building a colony.
It was not a colony that Chen Ming had expected to be completely controlled by him, but a colony that he and his boss owned half and half.
So it’s normal if the boss doesn’t want to turn around. Chen Ming has to find a way to solve it himself,
It may be a bit difficult to figure out how to deal with the transition period of supplies for small colonies now.
After all, the bulk of the material consumption in colonial construction is not just on various infrastructures.
There are also materials to maintain the operation of various facilities, and materials that allow these facilities to produce output. These two aspects also account for a large part of the colony's material gap.
Fortunately, Chen Ming now has Glory, and a Brilliance-class cruiser can do a lot more.
Even if Chen Ming didn't do anything right now and just drove out in glory to kill pirates with bounties worth over 100 million, there was no way he would lose fuel money by exchanging these pirates for bounties.
Using the money to exchange for supplies and scraping things together elsewhere should be enough to last for a while.
As long as we can get through the most difficult early stage, when the development of the colony stabilizes later, the material gap will be much smaller.
From this point of view, long-distance material transportation, which is the most troublesome under normal circumstances, is not a problem at all for Chen Ming.
With his current mental strength, it is definitely not a problem for one person to support the long-distance transportation of materials in a small colony.
As for the technology required for colony building.
Mainly various infrastructures and technologies to expand facilities.
Including infrastructure, space ports, interstellar stations, industrial zoning, ground defense facilities, etc.
And all these technologies can be solved by just one brilliant one.
Huihuang is usually an Alpha-level Afterglow individual who controls a galaxy colony, and has a very high level of technical mastery of a galaxy colony.
As long as there is a set of basic industrial production facilities and a deployed production line.
The only thing left is sufficient supplies, and with Glory, the entire colony can be wiped out.
So after solving these three problems, there is only one last problem that needs to be solved urgently.
A suitable system for colonization.
Chen Ming had discovered several valuable planets before, but there was only one valuable planet.
Chen Ming needs all the planets in a galaxy to have value.
It is similar to the capital of the Star Territory in the Gallo Star Territory.
The seven planets in this galaxy include at least two mineral planets and one industrial planet to ensure the development of the galaxy's industry.
There is also a gas giant planet and an ice giant planet to ensure a large number of volatiles including various rare gases and rare isotopes of light elements including deuterium.
It also has a volcanic planet with a lot of geological activity.
Although Chen Ming doesn't know what's good about such a dangerous planet, from what he understands.
As long as there are colonies and patrols in the empire, the patrol headquarters will be placed on the volcanic planet, turning the volcanic planet into a military planet.
Therefore, without knowing the specific situation, if Chen Ming wants to build a colony, it is best to have such a planet.
In addition, there is even a habitable planet in the star system of the capital of the star field.
The entire galaxy has everything. A galaxy can be self-sufficient within itself and does not need material supplies from other galaxies.
For Chen Ming, such a galaxy is the perfect colonial galaxy.
As for the probability of such a galaxy...
Chen Ming thought it would be better to look at the demolished research institute industrial area in the distance.
Anyway.
Chen Ming now needs an exploration ship to explore and investigate outside the star field.
At the same time, he can also personally drive an exploration ship out to explore and solve temporary survival problems and colony site selection problems at the same time, as long as enough fuel is stored.
It's just that the fuel a spacecraft can store is limited.
So Chen Ming has already begun to think about how to use his spiritual energy to take advantage of the fact that the repair spaceship cannot replenish fuel.
He will later try to install miniaturized fuel production equipment on the spacecraft, and then rely on psychic energy to send the fuel production materials back over long distances.
Part of the material used to produce fuel is gas, so he is really not sure whether it will work. Anyway, you won’t know until you try it.
But Chen Ming had to solve more problems for an exploration vessel than just fuel.
There is also the question of source.
Because exploration ships are all armed ships, it is actually not easy to buy this kind of ship from regular channels.
After all, exploring unknown star fields is a very dangerous thing. Even with fleet protection, the safety of the exploration ship itself is somewhat difficult to guarantee.
If an accident occurs to the exploration vessel, the entire exploration mission may be suspended.
Therefore, the exploration ship needs combat power to protect itself no matter what.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to purchase an exploration ship, some organization will apply directly and say you want to go out for exploration.
Either if you purchase it personally, you must have an armed ship license.
However, licenses and other matters were minor issues. Chen Ming could even buy a military centurion, not to mention an exploration ship that only required an armed ship license.
But the key issue now is that Chen Ming is considered dead now, and he doesn't want humans to know that he is still alive for the time being.
He could go to other star regions to buy the supplies and stuff in front of him, but he didn't dare to leave things like buying a spaceship to others, and he couldn't leave it to others.
Because Chen Ming himself does not have the broad path of Lao Wu.
Therefore, even if Chen Ming does not buy it himself, it will be Lao Wu who buys it on his behalf.
Anyone who has been paying attention to Chen Ming will definitely discover these things.
It is impossible for Lao Wu to buy an exploration ship for no reason, so it goes without saying who actually bought the ship.
It would do him no good if the fact that he was still alive was exposed.
Once the Fourteenth Legion notices that Chen Ming is still alive, they will definitely be more wary of him than ever before, and may even continue to think of ways to kill him.
After all, him being alive is definitely not a good thing for the previous commander of the fleet and the person who made the decision to kill him.
People like Chen Ming must either find a way to save him or kill him completely to avoid future troubles. It is just a shame to take action but not kill him.
They absolutely know this.
So I definitely don’t want to see Chen Ming still alive.
But it is no longer possible to organize a fleet of the previous size again.
Therefore, there is little chance that the Fourteenth Legion will come to kill him again, but they may go to someone who knows him to force Chen Ming to show up.
Chen Ming is not worried about the safety of factory elder Wu and others.
After all, they have the protection of both their boss and the company.
Chen Ming had heard the factory director almost call the company chairman an old man before.
This company was unable to protect the mining space station before. Chen Ming assumed that they did not know the existence of Sky Steel at the time and did not dare to offend the local military for a few ordinary employees.
But if even the chairman's descendants cannot be protected, the company will still go bankrupt.
Old Wu is also a cunning old man. With the boss and factory director protecting him, it is basically impossible for anything to happen.
But the problem is that Chen Ming's planned revenge will be difficult to implement because of their vigilance.
So thinking about it this way, this exploration ship is a bit difficult to deal with.
Chen Ming thought for a while and decided that he might as well ask Yu Hui directly.
It's best if you give it, and it doesn't matter if you don't give it.
Anyway, now Chen Ming is gambling, and so is Yu Hui.
Chen Ming bet that he could get benefits from Yu Hui and escape unscathed.
Yu Hui was betting that they could restrain Chen Ming and extract spiritual energy for the second time.
In order to let Chen Ming stay in peace, instead of making noises about running away or committing suicide if he can't escape, it should be acceptable to them to pay some price.
Chen Ming still has Hui Hui who can help sing the double act, so it shouldn't be difficult to get some benefits from Yu Hui.
This is something you and I wish for.
If he really doesn't give it in the end, then Chen Ming might as well contact the boss directly.
Although there must be surveillance from various forces on the factory boss Wu's side, there will definitely not be such a problem on the boss's side.
The boss can definitely get an exploration ship out without leaving any trace, and Chen Ming can also afford the cost of an exploration ship.
As long as Chen Ming can avoid other people's surveillance of all his spaceships and contact his boss.
And it is actually not difficult to achieve this.
He was using the engineering ship controlled by him at the repair shop.
He always has the highest authority over the ship controlled by Chen Ming, and modifying the recorded data of the ship is only the simplest thing.
The second factory director and Lao Wu had good reasons to go out to work on the engineering ship.
In the space outside the space station, as long as there are only two people on the spacecraft, Factory Director Wu, only the two of them will always know what happened on the ship.
And Chen Ming also thought of a new contact method after his abilities improved.
Right now, he can control any unmodified mechanical item as long as it has been touched by him or placed on his spacecraft.
Personal terminals are also included.
Chen Ming can directly control the terminal through his ability, and communicate by typing or making voice broadcasts on it.
There is no need to go through the connection between the spacecraft communication equipment and the terminal.
Although it seemed that Chen Ming could do this before, it was just that he needed to modify the terminal before, so he couldn't figure it out.
But it’s not too late to think about it now.
As long as the factory director and Lao Wu get on the engineering ship and go on a mission together, Chen Ming can handle the matter.
The next step is to wait for the exploration ship to arrive, and wait for Afterglow's second experiment to begin.
Then it was time for Chen Ming to really take action.
In addition to preparations, there are a few extra things he can do during this period.
For example, go and get back the Gamma A-level Glory that escaped.
Chen Ming has been eyeing it for a long time, and Huihuang must be able to assist him in this regard.
"Ah, right."
A dangerous expression suddenly appeared on Chen Ming's face: "Where is the core of G3?"
The purpose of the question that Huihuang suddenly asked to Chen Ming, who had been silent for a long time and seemed to be thinking about things, was very clear.
But it won't have a problem with it.
Its idea is realized with Chen Ming as the core, and Chen Ming's own abilities conflict with Yu Hui.
This means that if you want to use Chen Ming's hand to realize its idea, Yuhui will inevitably make sacrifices, and it is no exception.
So why can't G3 be the first?
So it didn't hesitate at all and answered: "The orbiting space station."
While Chen Ming pretended to be holding the terminal, he was actually having a very happy chat with Hui Hui.
In the core galaxy of the Afterglow Sector, a replica of the Kletka supercomputer is located on the BP-55 colony.
After Chen Ming took the initiative to come here today and picked up the terminal to show off.
The several Alpha-level Afterglow individuals who were in charge of Kletka who had been monitoring Chen Ming all stopped monitoring Chen Ming.
Quickly exchange opinions on the internal communication platform.
"The psychic detector still cannot scan Chen Ming's psychic strength, which is covered by some kind of power."
"But through Chen Ming's mental state, we can still analyze some situations."
"Chen Ming is in good mental condition and shows no signs of struggling, which means he was not injured and even benefited from it."
"Artificial ineffective spiritual nerves do have similar effects."
"It will rely on its own aggressiveness and strength to reversely absorb the spiritual enlightenment nerves of the psyker, transform itself, and become the spiritual enlightenment nerve that possesses the psychic energy of the psyker."
"Under normal circumstances, the transformed spiritual nerves will be extracted, but if they are not extracted or cannot be extracted, it is indeed possible to enhance the psychic ability of the psyker."
"No, Chen Ming's spiritual power has not been affected by the strong and uncontrollable influence of the new spiritual enlightenment nerve."
"It shows that it is not the artificial spiritual nerves that swallowed his spiritual nerves, but his spiritual nerves that in turn swallowed the artificial spiritual nerves."
"But the artificial ineffective spiritual nerves used in the extraction device have been specially cultivated by us and are more ferocious than conventional spiritual nerves."
"Moreover, Chen Ming's psychic energy is not an attack type of psychic energy. The instinct of the auxiliary type of spiritual enlightenment nerves cannot prevent the specially cultivated spiritual energy enlightenment nerves from devouring it."
"There are other interferences in this experiment, the stimulation of the lying ectoplasm stone, and the self-operating spacecraft."
"The Lying Spirit Stone only plays a supporting role, the key lies in the spaceship."
"G3 has previously confirmed that Chen Ming's brain waves were very stable while the spacecraft was operating, and he had indeed fallen into a coma."
"According to G3's scan of the remaining environment, it discovered that after the spacecraft was destroyed, psychic energy fluctuations entered the research institute from the wreckage and entered Chen Ming's body."
"It's a ship spirit, a psychic creature born from psychic energy."
"Only something that has been in an artificial psychic environment for a long time can give birth to such a creature."
"Although we have no actual examples found here and no accurate investigation, humans do have some records of such psychic creatures."
"Most of these psychic creatures appear on the ships driven by psykers, and only a few of them appear on personal belongings of psykers."
"Because the value of being in personal items is not high, most of these psychic creatures will eventually be transplanted onto spaceships. Therefore, they are called ship spirits. The spaceships attached to ship spirits are collectively called spiritual spaceships."< br>
"Generally, ship spirits only have instincts that can be guided by psykers, but there is a special point. Part of the psyker's psychic energy will also be expressed on the spacecraft that has been controlled by ship spirits for a long time."
"This is the only explanation for Chen Ming's situation."
"What effect will Chen Ming's psychic ship spirit have on the spaceship?"
The rapid exchange between several Alpha-level afterglows suddenly stopped for a moment inside the platform.
"What if the psyker dies?"
"The ship spirit will also die, but before it dies, it will emit its spiritual energy crazily, causing great damage to everything around it."
"It looks like we'll need to prepare some extra things then."
"What?"
"Silent Alloy."
