Chapter 141 Harvest, Disguise
Chen Ming stepped forward quickly.
Picked up the psychic wave generator equipped with the Whispering Stone.
Although this thing is somewhat damaged on the outside, as long as it is still a mechanical device, it can be repaired, so there is no big problem.
But Chen Ming found that there seemed to be something wrong with the Whispering Stone inside.
Only the appearance of the Whispering Stone remains intact.
But in fact, just as Chen Ming wanted to take out the Whispering Stone, the entire stone shattered instantly, leaving dust on his hands.
And, a little bit of a special substance that was neither gas nor liquid, emitting spiritual energy fluctuations, suddenly seeped into Chen Ming's palm.
This seems to be something called spiritual energy.
Chen Ming began to recall in his mind.
When he first got the Whispering Stone, it was almost the time when his psychic powers had increased and he had mastered the ability to dismantle.
So Chen Ming took a look at the disassembly confirmation panel of the Whispering Stone.
That shows what can ultimately be obtained after disassembly.
In addition to the most common stone materials that the Whispering Stone can dismantle, the only thing it can dismantle is this spiritual energy.
Chen Ming originally thought that spiritual energy would be something more substantial, but he did not expect it to exist like this.
What he didn't even expect was that it was absorbed directly into his skin.
Chen Mingxu shook his hand a few times, but felt nothing special.
His psychic and spiritual powers had not increased, and he had no strange feelings. His psychic powers also did not give him any sense of danger.
It was as if what just happened had never happened, and I didn’t know what was going on.
Chen Ming didn't pay too much attention. Anyway, he didn't feel any danger and his life was not in danger.
If it doesn't work, he can just go back and ask his boss.
Until now, the loss of the Whispering Stone only made him a little heartbroken.
But fortunately, the Liar Stone next to it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it.
The strength of the ectoplasm stone itself is still online, especially the Liar Stone, which is essentially a resonance ectoplasm stone.
That is to say, because the Whispering Stone is relatively small, the intensity of its spiritual energy fluctuations is relatively weak, and its nature is relatively fragile, it was destroyed when the distorted flesh and blood finally struggled to absorb the spiritual stone to extend its life.
But there's no point in worrying about it now, at least one stone is saved.
And the core appearance of the G3 next to it looks pretty good.
It's equivalent to exchanging the Whispering Stone for Alpha Core, and I don't know whether it's a loss or a gain.
In addition, Chen Ming is actually very curious now. Did G3 influence the Aberrant Flesh to say the last curse word just now, or was it said by the Aberrant Flesh himself?
So his hand that was originally reaching for the Whispering Stone turned around, turned to the core of G3, and controlled it.
Chen Ming directly opened the Alpha-level core panel.
But looking at the data on the panel, he suddenly frowned.
【Afterglow Alpha Level AI Core】
[Manufacturer: Yuhui BP-55 Colonial Far North Industrialized Production Center]
【Self-awareness: None】
【Computing Power: None】
[Available operations: Modification]
The name of the individual within the core, which is the word "G3", is not displayed on the core panel.
At the same time, the big "no" behind the column of self-awareness also made Chen Ming completely unexpected.
Chen Ming is certain that this must be the core of G3, otherwise the distorted flesh and blood would have no reason to stuff this core into its body after being full.
Even after it was cut into pieces and sent to the flesh and blood wall of the institute, it was still carried around.
And Yuhui's side probably won't have anything to do. Arrange two Alpha-class Yuhui near him. One G3 is definitely enough.
One more Afterglow individual brings one more risk of being contacted by Chen Ming.
Even if it is said to be a backup core reason, it is not very sufficient.
After all, if G3 is really touched by Chen Ming, what's the point of replacing it with a new core?
Which individual dares to truly believe in G3?
So this core is definitely from G3, there is nothing wrong with it.
But it is clear that the appearance of the core is not damaged, and there is no damage shown on the panel.
But, what about G3?
Chen Ming's mind was full of doubts.
He was wondering, is it possible that G3 was transferred from this core and hidden in a device in the research institute?
Chen Ming quickly shared his situation with Hui Hui through his consciousness.
However, Huihuang gave a negative answer to Chen Ming's speculation: "Our Alpha-level individuals are very large at the data level, and it is very difficult to transfer between different cores."
"If the core is physically damaged, it will take at least a week to transfer between different cores, and this time will be extended as the individual's own ability strength increases."
Brilliant's answer further confirmed Chen Ming's thoughts.
Alpha-level Afterglow individuals need a week to transfer, and it is even more impossible for Afterglow to prepare a second core.
However, he still had to ask some things clearly: "Is there any fixed equipment that can temporarily store afterglow individuals?"
"No, all of us individuals can only exist in cores of different levels since the birth of Kletka."
"Our consciousness cannot survive in any device environment except the core."
"If there is no G3 in the core, it really doesn't exist."
Hui Hui said it very clearly, but Chen Ming always felt that the meaning of Hui Hui's words seemed wrong.
Only the core can support the existence of consciousness, and no other equipment can.
Explaining the existence and core of Yuhui’s consciousness requires that their carriers themselves have been designed with this function.
But Chen Ming remembered that Yuhui, an existence recorded in history books, was originally designed to be used as a combat AI for spaceships, rather than a purely artificial intelligence used to communicate with humans.
Consciousness should not exist, it should not even have a basis for existence.
Does this mean that Yuhui’s design has been moving in the direction of giving birth to consciousness from the earliest days?
However, the details of how Afterglow was born are not detailed in the history books.
Chen Ming felt that there seemed to be some secrets hidden in it.
But it has nothing to do with him now. This matter is still too big and too far away.
Anyway, G3 can be said to have been confirmed dead.
It's a pity that Chen Ming originally wanted to try to see if he could erase G3's personality, but now it seems he has to find another opportunity.
But at least this thing is not a purely bad thing. At least he doesn't have to worry about G3 problems.
There is no need to worry about the core issues when the several Afterglows he personally controls that are now at Beta level are upgraded to Alpha level.
Chen Ming has controlled the afterglow of three multiple galaxies so far.
However, no clues have been found about the location of the "Afterglow BP-55 Colony Far North Industrial Production Center" where the Afterglow core is produced. We don't even know where the BP-55 colony is.
Although Chen Ming has already made some guesses, he feels that this place will most likely be the galaxy where the Kletka supercomputer is located in the afterglow, or it may even be on the planet where the Kletka is installed.
But now, Chen Ming still has no substantial evidence to prove this. The afterglow that has spread under his control has still not penetrated into Kletka's galaxy.
Therefore, one more blank core is considered acceptable.
But Chen Ming always felt that this was a bit of a disadvantage.
Although he has the Whispering Stone in his hand to replace the Whispering Stone, an ectoplasm stone is very precious no matter how you look at it.
Change to an Alpha core without an Alpha individual inside...
"Tsk."
Chen Ming felt a little pity, but he had no choice but to put away the Alpha-level core without G3.
At the same time, he picked up the intact Liar Stone next to him.
But when Chen Ming picked up the Lie Stone, he discovered that there seemed to be some changes on the Lie Stone.
Its pattern became more complex and denser.
Originally, the patterns on the surface of the Lie Stone were a little sparse, but now the entire stone is covered with twisted patterns.
Even the feel was a little different from before, as if the pressure on him was slightly greater.
Chen Ming immediately felt a little worried and immediately opened the panel of the Lie Stone.
Found its name changed again
From [Resonance Ectoplasm Stone (False Words)] to [Resonance Ectoplasm Stone (Frenzy Words)]
Obviously, there was no such change just when he activated the lie stone in the distorted flesh body.
It seemed that the distorted flesh and blood had finally absorbed the spiritual energy fluctuations of the ectoplasmic stone crazily, but it failed to absorb it.
The psychic energy fluctuations that were taken away returned to the Lie Stone, and finally this thing was formed.
But apart from this change, there are no other changes to the Lie Stone.
Chen Ming still controls this crazy language stone through the resonance he once achieved, and he does not feel any sense of danger from it.
This seems like a good thing.
So Chen Ming tried the effect of the words of madness on the spot.
In less than half a second, Chen Ming made the stone stop spreading psychic energy fluctuations with a look of pain on his face.
After about half a minute of relief, Chen Ming still felt a little uncomfortable physically.
But at least he was in a good mood.
Even he who has been exposed to the Whispering Stone for a long time can have this level of top-notch effects from the Wild Whispering Stone.
The loss of a Whispering Stone is not a loss at all, just think that the Whispering Stone was absorbed by the Lying Stone and turned into this thing.
The Whispering Stone has evolved again and is much better than a low-level Whispering Stone.
Chen Ming quickly stuffed the stone into his arms.
And just when he had just put away the Lie Stone, he suddenly saw with sharp eyes a blood-colored and transparent amber-like thing under the ashes of the distorted flesh and blood.
In this amber, there is a miniature version of the deformed heart.
Chen Ming felt that the boat spirit, who was still a little tired in his mind, suddenly became excited.
So he picked up the amber, which was about the size of his little finger. He held it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully.
But at this moment, Chen Ming suddenly saw that there seemed to be a slight crack in the little heart in amber.
Under the gap is not the deeper myocardial tissue, but a dark and long crack.
This familiar scene made Chen Ming almost throw away the things he was holding.
However, he restrained himself, because now that he had seen the crack, it did not drag him into the conscious space, which meant that at least for the time being, this thing did not pose a threat to him.
Moreover, the ship spirit, who was a little excited at the beginning, suddenly appeared by himself and got into the amber.
Completely shrouding Amber with a shadow.
Chen Ming could see through the phantom that the heart in the amber was being affected by the phantom of the ship spirit. It gradually lost its original lifelike appearance full of biological matter and became like a poor handicraft.
The faint blood color that Amber originally brought was also erased by the ship spirit.
The entire amber gradually became transparent and clear, mixed with some sparkles.
And at the end, the micro-deformed heart that had become rigid suddenly melted.
The melted blood seeped out of the amber, and within a few seconds of falling on the ground, it turned black, completely rotted, and blended with the ashes.
And in that melting heart, a mini Iron Ore Ship actually appeared.
Although it was small, Chen Ming made a magnifying glass and took a closer look, and found that the mini Iron Ore inside the amber restored the appearance of the Iron Ore in all details before it was finally destroyed.
It couldn't be more exquisite.
However, the crack was left on the top armor of the Iron Ore.
But it is no longer pitch black inside, but instead flows a metallic liquid with a gorgeous color like the starry sky.
Chen Ming suddenly felt something in his heart, and his consciousness focused on the amber, letting his mental power touch it.
The next moment.
Chen Ming returned to the steel jungle.
The surrounding starry sky environment seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, and the stars were no longer in the position where Chen Ming came in last time.
In other words, those things in the starry sky can no longer find him.
Chen Ming felt a little relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about getting into trouble next time he came in.
He gradually relaxed his concentrated consciousness and escaped from the steel jungle.
Chen Ming looked at the amber in his hand like a boat in a bottle again, feeling extremely surprised and satisfied.
This is good stuff.
Although at present he only uses it to check his mental power and psychic status in a more concrete way.
However, the hill formed by the wreckage of the spaceship in his consciousness space is very special no matter how you look at it, and it will definitely be of special use in the future.
Being able to check at any time is definitely beneficial.
Chen Ming couldn't check the specific name of this amber at will. He had to get it to the spacecraft to see it.
When Chen Ming left the spacecraft, his abilities were still limited to mechanical equipment.
There is still no way to know the names of such separate objects and various creatures directly through the panel, unless there is contact in advance.
For example, Chen Ming had touched the Liar Stone, which has now become the Word of Madness, on the spaceship before. Even if there are new changes now, he can still check the panel.
For those who have never been exposed to it, they can only do so after being exposed to it once.
Chen Ming put away his things.
Then he glanced at the boss who had been temporarily let go.
At this time, the boss was still studying the photos that Chen Ming had been taking regularly and the photos he had taken time to send from time to time.
And he also left several voice messages for Chen Ming.
It's about the photo that Chen Ming first took for his boss, a photo of a human body's distorted flesh and blood scan.
"Your gadget puts the core of Afterglow inside your body? This has happened before."
"In the early stages of their lives, the consciousness of these biological tissues affected by dimensional infection existed, but it was as weak as the vegetative state you mentioned before."
"Then they will try to find something else to fill this aspect, but all living things will be affected by their own existence, and basically no one can survive."
"So, their targets have been changed to something that will not be affected by them, such as afterglow."
"Even life forms like Yuhui are almost the same as ordinary life to them. I can't tell you the specifics. Just understand what I mean."
"In places where disasters broke out before, that is, in this kind of specialized research institute, there must be a few gamma-level afterglow cores."
"The core of these afterglows are occupied by them."
"The core consciousness you just saw should be the same. The consciousness has been washed away by the distorted heart, leaving only the remaining computing power."
"In addition, there is a layer of flesh and blood that has not completely mastered this computing power."
The boss had anticipated the death of G3 in advance.
Although Chen Ming found out a little late, it still made Chen Ming understand how G3 died.
And just now, as Chen Ming entered the battle, the boss continued to tell Chen Ming something.
Basically, it's against distorted flesh and blood tissue.
Including speculation, summary and analysis of its demonstrated abilities.
At present, it seems that the aberrant flesh has at least four psychic abilities, electromagnetic interference, arc, flame protection and physical protection.
Other bosses such as corrosive blood and high-speed regeneration are not sure, so I have put a question mark on them for now.
But Chen Ming couldn't be sure, because the abilities of distorted flesh and blood were mixed together, and its body was surrounded by psychic energy fluctuations at all times.
But even if you don't regard the latter two as abilities and only look at the first four, it is already very outrageous.
Obviously these psychic powers are not coming from a deformed flesh and blood individual.
Instead, many clones were transformed by the influence of the spread of the first deformed flesh-and-blood individual, and after showing psychic potential, they were gathered together to form.
This is because there are no ordinary people in Yuhui's cloning research institute. The number of clones is small, and the number of mutant flesh-and-blood individuals with psychic powers that can eventually appear is also small.
That's why the deformed flesh and blood Chen Ming encountered only had these abilities.
But if the number of clones or other people increases, then Chen Ming will definitely have to face more than just deformed flesh and blood with these abilities.
But, there is no if for the development of things.
Chen Ming continued to look through the voice messages that his boss had just left on the terminal.
The above message continued until he had just gained the upper hand in the battle with the aberrant flesh and blood, chopped the aberrant flesh and blood into pieces, causing it to be dragged into the high wall inside the institute.
At this time, the boss suddenly stopped for a while and sent the last message.
And this message was sent exactly at the moment when cracks appeared in the deformed heart.
"Don't look at that crack!"
Chen Ming could hear the boss's urgency in this last voice message, but it was a pity that Chen Ming only saw this message now.
But at least the end result is the same.
The aberrant flesh died, but he is still alive now.
There will be no follow-up.
Chen Ming's consciousness was dragged into the conscious space and he was unable to continue sending messages to his boss.
The boss didn't know whether Chen Ming was dead or alive, so he could only wait for Chen Ming's subsequent actions.
After Chen Ming came out of the consciousness space, he forgot to contact his boss for a while.
It's better to report that you're safe first.
Chen Ming was preparing to continue contacting his boss.
Suddenly, he noticed that the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations were dissipating, and the situation here would soon be exposed to the afterglow's sight.
The ectoplasm stone and everything else have been returned to Chen Ming's hands, and it is impossible for Yu Hui to snatch it back now.
But if G3's core is seen, Yuhui's side may explode, and he will most likely not be able to keep this core.
So in order to prevent something from happening, Chen Ming quickly used psychic energy to send away the Alpha-level core left by G3.
However, what he is doing now is actually a special situation, because Chen Ming still cannot [modify] the normal conscious afterglow core.
He cannot use this ability to transmit the afterglow individuals over long distances.
It's just because the core of G3 has lost the consciousness of the afterglow individual inside.
Therefore, Chen Mingcai could send this core away as a purely mechanical item.
Chen Ming quickly cleaned up the scene, dismantled and transformed all the remaining materials after the battle and sent them away.
I put away all the other things and confirmed that all the trophies were OK. I also reported to the boss that he was safe, saying that he was a little busy now.
Afterwards, Chen Ming walked straight into the interior of the research institute where the ground was covered with withered flesh and blood.
He pretended not to know anything and groped towards the Qiling Nerve Extraction Device, which was still not destroyed in his perception.
He needs to behave as he should in front of Yuhui, so as to cover up his previous sudden actions and prevent Yuhui from discovering his true purpose.
The Qiling Nerve Extraction Device is the best way to blind people.
Chen Ming pretended to use tools to force open the doors of several rooms on the road inside the institute.
By the way, I also found a box made of Silent Alloy that Chen Ming had used to store the Whispering Stone that he couldn't control carefully, which was randomly discarded on the ground in one of the rooms.
Chen Ming put in the amber he just got.
This box not only prevents psychic energy fluctuations from escaping from within, it also prevents many detections from the outside world.
Although Yuhui might not grab the amber he has on hand even if he sees it, it is always good to have an extra layer of defense.
Then Chen Ming came to the door of Qiling Nerve Extraction Device.
At exactly this moment, the psychic fluctuations completely dissipated, and the signal interference ceased.
The originally dark laboratory suddenly turned on several emergency lights intermittently, barely illuminating the environment inside the laboratory.
The few remaining cameras that were not damaged by the spreading flesh and blood tissue were all pointed at Chen Ming, as if they wanted to slap him in the face.
The brilliant voice also reached Chen Ming's ears through the communication device that was not destroyed inside the cloning research institute.
"Mr. Chen Ming, what are you doing?"
