Chapter 142 Emergencies at the Pirate Space Station
"Tsk."
With the brilliant voice, the remaining communication device in the cloning research institute reached Chen Ming's ears.
Chen Ming seemed to be forced to put down the tool he was holding against the door in front of him, and said: "Nothing."
Then he turned around and walked away, his eyes scanning the extremely harsh environment around him, and he opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Huihuang didn't ask any further questions.
Obviously, the senior management of Yuhui behind it also knew that there would be no answer just by asking, so they allowed Chen Ming to leave the research institute where the ground was covered with withered flesh and blood.
Chen Ming quickly arrived at the exit of the passage.
At this time, the passage was completely surrounded by Yuhui's fleet and a large number of robots.
However, these robots and the spaceships hovering in the sky and landing on the ground did not have any special reaction to Chen Ming's arrival.
Until Chen Ming returned to the Buffalo level parked at the exit of the cloning research institute.
Those robots entered the cloning research institute in batches, and they seemed to have no intention of pursuing Chen Ming's previous actions to stop them.
Chen Mingzheng was going to ask what Brilliant Afterglow thought.
Huihuang explained to him directly: "Our senior management has unanimously agreed that we should not create extraneous matters."
"Anything that can't interfere with the normal operation of the Qiling Nerve Extraction Device can be ignored. We just wait for the day when the Qiling Nerve Extraction Device is finally activated."
"And you didn't question us just now about the birth of such psychic creatures underground, so our senior officials think it's best for them to cooperate with you."
"You don't care about clones and the psychic creatures born from clones, and we don't care about you suddenly entering the research institute to stop our rescue."
"There is a high probability that there will be no follow-up after this incident."
"Okay."
Yuhui saw his hint and successfully maintained the delicate situation that the two parties had maintained.
I just don’t know whether this is good news or bad news for Chen Ming. It should be both.
Chen Ming thought about it and realized that Yu Hui's current attitude and performance were indeed mixed.
The good thing is that Chen Ming doesn't have to waste words or energy with Yu Hui, and can concentrate on what he wants to do next.
But the bad thing is that Yuhui's cultivation of their new spiritual nerve must have reached the final stage.
Otherwise, there is no need for them to completely eliminate the interference of anything else and just wait for that day to come.
So, he had to be faster.
Chen Ming controlled the Buffalo-class to take off, avoiding those engineering ships of different models.
But when it came to where he should go from now on, Chen Ming was suddenly a little unsure.
Although the aberrant flesh is dead and there are no strange things in the cloning research institute, the research institute on the surface should be safe.
But he's not sure whether the afterglow's work underground will affect it above ground.
So Chen Ming directly asked Hui Hui, who had accessed the buffalo-level communication channel just after he left the institute: "So where should I go next?"
Huihuang replied to Chen Ming with a slight delay: "Mr. Chen Ming, please go back to the research institute directly."
Chen Ming immediately turned the bow of the Buffalo-class ship, and at the same time pretended to be confused and asked: "Huh? Will the underground research institute have no impact on the research institute on the surface?"
"No, you have already dealt with the biggest trouble."
"But I mean you."
Hui Hui was choked by Chen Ming, but still said patiently: "We will not damage the underground structure, please don't worry."
"That's good."
Chen Ming drove the Buffalo back to the research institute.
At this time, an engineering ship happened to take off next to the research institute.
Only the dome, which has been restored for the second time, remains.
Chen Ming quickly stepped off the spacecraft, walked into the research institute, found a chair in the living area and sat down, took out the terminal and clicked on a document.
During this process, he had actually been checking the situation of the Cloning Research Institute through underground surveillance.
Chen Ming took advantage of the time when the last psychic fluctuation had not completely dissipated and the signal was still blocked. In addition to demolishing a few doors, he also took control of the remaining systems of the Clone Research Institute.
Although most of the equipment in the entire cloning institute has been damaged, there is always a little monitoring that is still running.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Chen Ming to happen to be within the field of vision of the few remaining monitors just now, and to be standing at the door of the room where the Qiling Nerve Extraction Device was installed just when they were started.
As long as Hui Huihui chooses to repair the entire system instead of completely replacing it, Chen Ming can continue to control the equipment of the Cloning Research Institute.
Of course, this requires Chen Ming's mental strength to maintain it. He can choose to disconnect it at any time, and it will not have a big impact on his usual control of the spacecraft.
Because after Chen Ming ended his coma caused by Yuhui extracting the Spiritual Enlightenment Nerve from him, the number of controllable spaceships increased from 4 to 10.
Being able to control the mental power of ten destroyers and the remaining equipment of a research institute, I feel no pressure at all.
And this is because Chen Ming had not adapted to the enhanced spiritual power due to swallowing a spiritual nerve.
Now, Chen Ming has adapted, so the number of spaceships he can currently control is 3.
Although the number has become smaller, the meaning of this number is different.
According to Chen Ming's research, this number is calculated based on the maximum amount of mental power he can control.
In other words, this 3 means that Chen Ming can now control three cruisers.
The total amount of mental power that can control three cruisers can control at least thirty destroyers.
The difference between destroyers and frigates is not big, so there was no such obvious change when Chen Ming was able to control the destroyer for the first time.
But compared to destroyers, cruisers are a qualitative change.
From being able to control expulsions to being able to control cruising, Chen Ming also experienced a qualitative change in his mental strength.
So now his panel has new changes.
In short, Chen Ming now has quite a lot of mental energy that can be used on other things.
For example, controlling the Qiling Neural Extraction Device, controlling various equipment in the research institute, and controlling the equipment in the Cloning Research Institute.
Monitor what Afterglow is doing without being noticed by any Afterglow.
Yu Hui has now moved the Qiling Nerve Extraction Device, and it should be sent to another place for maintenance or something.
Then the remaining robots were dealing with the ruins of the research institute and sending away all the dried flesh and blood inside.
It may be for research, or it may be simply processed.
The specific method depends on whether Yu Hui is brave enough.
At present, except for the Qiling Nerve Extraction Device, Chen Ming can't see anything else that needs his special attention.
So he chose to put the surveillance picture in the corner of his field of vision and left it there.
He now plans to contact his boss again.
One is to continue the previous conversation, and the other is that Chen Ming wants to ask the boss about the piece of amber.
Chen Ming saw Amber's name the first time he got on the spacecraft.
【Condensing the Source of Spiritual Energy (Chen Ming)】
This was something he didn't expect at all, his name appearing on something like this.
However, Chen Ming was a little surprised. After all, this thing was influenced by the Ship Spirit, and the Ship Spirit was born from him. It is not unreasonable to have his name.
And following this idea of naming the source of condensed spiritual energy, then the original name should be [Condensed spiritual energy source (distorted flesh and blood)], or some other similar name.
Just looking at the name, this thing seems to reflect the root of a person's psychic ability.
The fact that it can help Chen Ming enter the consciousness space does prove its effect to a certain extent.
But after all, it was not made by Chen Ming himself, but something transformed by the ship spirit condensed from the corpse of distorted flesh and blood.
It was said to be the origin of his psychic energy, but he always felt it was a bit strange.
Anyway, Chen Ming couldn't figure it out. At this time, he didn't have the knowledge that naturally grew out of his brain when he sensed the appearance of the ship spirit before.
In addition, although amber is a good thing, the source is still aberrant flesh and blood anyway. It is best for him to ask the boss.
Soon the boss suddenly noticed that the terminal he placed next to him suddenly vibrated.
He picked up the terminal and took a look at it and said: "Xiao Ming, are you still alive?"
Chen Ming suddenly recalled and said: "I feel like I have heard this question many times."
The boss said casually: "Who makes you always encounter dangerous things. So...how is it? That thing just now."
"It's okay. If I didn't need to take the ship spirit there in person, it might actually be easier to handle. In other words, this is not something I should handle in the first place."
"Let's try our best to meet the needs of the ship spirit. It may save lives in the future."
The boss made an excuse for Chen Ming, and then asked: "You must have seen the thing in the crack just now, right?"
"Yes."
"What happened?"
"?"
Chen Ming asked with some confusion: "Didn't you tell me not to look before? Don't you know?"
The boss explained: "I know what it is, but I want to know what you encountered. This is important."
"Okay. I seem to...enter my conscious space."
"Conscious space?"
The boss thought for a while and said: "Oh, I probably understand."
"If the battle between psykers is forcibly dragged into a place like this, it means that the heart seems to be a little afraid of your ability, and uses this method to bet with you."
"But it looks like it lost. I won't ask you about the specific image of your 'consciousness space', and you don't want to take it out. This is very important for a psyker."
"I'm not stupid."
"I know you're not stupid, but you have to give an explanation."
"Anyway, when you finally won, you were suddenly kicked out of your conscious space, right?"
Chen Ming affirmed: "Yes, I will completely kill the heartbreaker after I come out."
"Not bad, an auxiliary psyker can defeat a thing that obviously has multiple abilities. You have already started to be a psyker."
Chen Ming heard the key words in the boss's words and immediately asked: "Getting started? How do you count as getting started? Don't tell me that you have to have played this kind of thing to be considered a beginner."
"How is it possible? As long as you know that auxiliary type psykers and protective type psykers don't have combat effectiveness, you can get started." "I won't talk about many aspects of psionic energy, so as not to affect your development, but I can Let me tell you something.”
"The direction of your development in the next period of time can be to enter this consciousness space again."
"When you can really go in, I will be able to tell you almost everything about psychic energy and various systematic regulations."
Chen Ming reached out and touched the box in his arms, hesitated and said, "Actually... I can already go in."
"Impossible."
The boss subconsciously refuted Chen Ming and said: "If a psychic can enter the 'consciousness space' you mentioned on his own, he must have a comprehensive understanding of his own psychic abilities."
"That is to say, when the potential has been fully explored, all that is left is to continue training, and you can see the limits of your abilities."
"But your psychic development has reached its limit? Shouldn't it?"
Chen Ming's spiritual power must not have been developed to its upper limit.
"It's just that I used a little help from outside."
"What external force?"
"After I killed the heart, I got something on its body."
Chen Ming sent the footage that was automatically captured by the power armor's video equipment after the previous battle to his boss.
From when he picks up amber with a miniature heart inside to when amber is possessed by the ship spirit and finally when the heart in amber is replaced with a mini-ship, the whole process is clearly visible.
The boss finished reading in silence and said: "I have never heard of such a thing. I have to ask to be sure."
"Okay."
Chen Ming responded and said to his boss: "Actually, just now, when I was dragged into the conscious space by the crack in my heart, I felt a sense of danger in the conscious space."
"Somewhere around my conscious space, you can find me at any time."
"Tell me more about it."
"I can't go into details about this. When I felt the danger, I just beat my heart with all my strength. When I was kicked out of the conscious space, the sense of danger disappeared."
"Then I will use this thing to return to the consciousness space later. The environment around the consciousness space is completely different from before, and the thing will not be able to find me."
The boss thought for a while based on Chen Ming's statement and said: "It should be that the conscious space amplifies your perception, allowing you to perceive many additional things."
"I'm afraid what you perceive is similar to the thing that once located the approximate location of our empire."
"But I can't tell you the specifics. I'll have to meet the president."
"The president has personally experienced the last dimensional infection. Only he knows many things. Please come back as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Chen Ming agreed and continued: "There is one more thing."
"It's just that I had a total of two ectoplasm stones in my hand before, and just now one of them broke because of the heart."
"When the spiritual energy stone was broken, it seemed that a little spiritual energy seeped into my body."
The boss could see at a glance that Chen Ming was really worried about the impact of spiritual energy on the human body. He immediately explained: "The spiritual energy itself is neutral."
"It is the basis for the existence of ectoplasm stone, and it is also one of the manufacturing materials for psionic weapons."
"Of course, the manufacturing of psychic weapons is only about collecting scattered psychic energy, not directly dismantling psychic stones to make them."
"But you can also embed a spiritual stone on it yourself, and wait until the weapons Baiquan gives you arrive and you can see for yourself."
"Ahem... I'm going too far."
"If you ask about the dangers of absorbing spiritual energy into the human body, it seems that there are none at present, but there are also no benefits."
"The spiritual energy absorbed by the human body is as if it has disappeared, and no trace can be found anymore."
"There is currently no research that can discover where the spiritual energy absorbed by the human body goes."
"In short, it has no effect on the human body, so don't worry."
Chen Ming's initial enthusiasm for mentioning it completely dropped.
"Oh, by the way, one more thing."
"Because I have to meet with the president, my original plan has to be slightly changed. I have to discuss this with you."
Originally, in Chen Ming's original plan, he could run away directly after taking over the highest point sent by his boss.
But now he has to go around one more circle, go back to the pirate space station, and maybe go to another galaxy to meet the president.
Although it is said that Chen Ming wants to meet the president of the psychic association, he is protected by his boss.
But he may still encounter people in the war zone or left path.
No, Zuo Jing probably doesn't know that he is still alive, so he just needs to pay attention to the war zone, and he still has to be prepared when the time comes.
After stopping Chen Ming's explanation, the boss expressed his understanding and said, "Okay, the president and I have made an appointment, and I will send you the route I will take then."
"Is everything else okay? You tell me first, so that I don't delay the matter for a long time when I talk to you in detail."
Chen Ming thought for a while and said: "It should be gone."
The troublesome things he encountered recently were only things under the Cloning Research Institute, and they have been solved.
Yuhui will definitely not dare to continue any cloning experiments in the short term.
After verifying that the Qiling Nerve Extraction Device is fine, they will definitely be more stable. They will wait until their Qiling Nerve preparations are completed, and then give Chen Ming a hard blow.
Therefore, Chen Ming's affairs have almost been dealt with, and there is no need to trouble the boss with more things.
It was also time for him to start the final stage of preparations.
In fact, talking about the trip after talking to the boss should be the last thing he wants to do.
After all, there is a more important prerequisite for this matter, that is, he must first leave the Afterglow Galaxy.
And the problems he needs to face in the process of leaving obviously require him to consider them more thoroughly.
It seems that the only way for Chen Ming to leave the Afterglow Star Territory in the future is to know his exact coordinates and be able to reach the glory quickly through the jump.
Once the glorious situation is exposed, there will definitely be some crazy behavior within Yuhui.
It may be directed at him, or it may be directed at the afterglows he controls.
Therefore, Chen Ming needs to eliminate Yuhui's interference at that time and take away everything he needs.
Of course, it is definitely not realistic to move all the colonies controlled by him, and he can only choose a part of them.
Chen Ming has already thought out most of his plans before, and the rest is to modify the details and the final stage to make the afterglow individuals he controls move.
This requires talking to people like Brilliant Gamma Z who have relatively strong management capabilities.
However, it was impossible for Chen Ming to let his boss go now, so he still spent about an hour discussing the future arrangements with his boss.
By the way, the boss also told Chen Ming that even the president didn't know much about the amber he picked up, and he would need to meet in person later to discuss it in detail.
After confirming that nothing else happened, Chen Ming hung up the communication with his boss.
Ready to start his own work.
However, Chen Ming had not had time to start.
The factory director suddenly took the initiative to touch the terminal that Chen Ming gave him and contacted him.
Although the news that Chen Ming was not dead has been known to Baiquan and people in the war zone.
But Baiquan will definitely not tell it, and neither will the war zone.
Because it was Chen Ming who caused the war zone to lose Sky Steel and some trust with their partners.
They must give an explanation to others, and Chen Ming's death is the best explanation.
But if they had made the news public that Chen Ming was dead, but found out that Chen Ming was not dead, they would be in trouble.
So now, they helped Bai Quan to block the news that Chen Ming was alive, hoping to take the opportunity to kill Chen Ming and pretend that nothing happened.
This is the conclusion Chen Ming came to based on what Bai Quan said and the information Lao Wu helped summarize.
So now, at least within a larger scope, such as the pirate space station, he is still dead.
Therefore, the factory director has not taken the initiative to contact Chen Ming recently just to be safe.
If I get contacted suddenly now, it must be something urgent.
Chen Ming picked up the communication with the factory director.
The factory director first said hello to Chen Ming and gave him a general introduction to the situation at the pirate space station.
To sum it up.
After Chen Ming was nominally dead.
The things he left at the pirate space station, including supplies and spaceships, became ownerless.
In fact, according to normal logic, it is completely fine for the factory director to hack this batch of things and then distribute some to others as hush money.
But the factory director didn't do this, so the goods have always been there.
Chen Ming did not touch these things before because he was pretending to be dead.
But because Chen Ming was about to start the next phase of his plan, he asked Lao Wu to cooperate with his boss and get access to this batch of supplies.
So someone from a company in the pirate space station also focused on this batch of supplies, and by the way, they also focused on the spacecraft that Chen Ming placed there.
After listening to the factory director's story, Chen Ming asked him: "So who is it?"
"Director."
"Director? Director of the Space Station Administration?"
Chen Ming's mind flashed back to the tall figure wearing combat power armor who swept the entire administration building when the military invaded the pirate space station some time ago.
The director had protected him before, but I didn’t expect it...
Chen Ming suddenly felt a little regretful.
But if the director really wants to touch his interests, it's best to be mentally prepared.
Otherwise, the factory director suddenly realized that there was an ambiguity in his words, causing Chen Ming to misunderstand something, and quickly said: "Wait a minute, it's not the previous director."
"The previous director was demoted by half a grade due to poor management due to problems within the administration. Now he is the deputy director."
"The current director of the space station was parachuted in from somewhere else."
Chen Ming immediately put away the regret in his heart and said: "Oh, it's okay."
