Chapter 155 Coordinates
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When Chen Ming woke up, he found that he was lying on a hospital bed in the highest point's own medical facility.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a bag of glucose hanging on the back of his hand.
And there were several outside doctors and nurses nearby, helping Chen Ming conduct physical examinations.
The boss was standing nearby, talking to someone on the phone.
Chen Ming raised his wet hand and took a look.
The gauze that he had casually wrapped around his hand had been replaced by a new bandage that was obviously wrapped by a professional nurse.
And he doesn't feel any pain now. It seems that the doctor gave him top-notch drugs.
The boss next to him discovered that Chen Ming had woken up after being reminded by the doctor. He said a word to the person on the phone and hung up the call.
Then he looked at Chen Ming and said, "Are you awake? I suddenly received a communication from your ship parked at the dock, saying that you had a problem, and I came to see you."
"Then I saw you look like this. How did you do it?"
Chen Ming sat up from the hospital bed and explained: "I have cooperated with Bai Quan on some things. You should know about it in two days."
"The instigator is here, and it will take two days for me to find out?"
Chen Ming glanced at the doctors and nurses next to him.
"It's okay, they are all my own people."
Chen Ming nodded and said: "I cooperated with Bai Quan and did something on Yuhui's territory."
The boss asked with interest and cooperation with Chen Ming: "What's the matter?"
"I helped him find a new ship that Yuhui was building recently, a new-class unmanned battlecruiser."
"Killed?"
"Not only that, we also killed a radioactive ship, and we also demolished a lot of the giant shipyard where the new star was parked."
"If my mental strength hadn't been too much, I could have even controlled the entire giant shipyard."
The boss immediately understood the situation and said: "No wonder you want to harm yourself, use pain to stimulate your mental strength, right?"
"Yes, but it's a pity that there is still a lot left. I can't feel the giant dock anymore. It may have been demolished by Yuhui himself."
The boss suddenly noticed something at this time and asked: "I see that your mental energy consumption does not seem like you are only helping with positioning, right?"
"Well, when Baiquan passed by, Afterglow's support was too fast, so we had no chance to kill the Nova."
"Then he sent a small team and asked me to command them to go to the giant shipyard and force out the unfinished new star."
"Originally, I wanted to blow up Xinxing directly in the dock, but unfortunately it was too close. In the end, I had to force him out and hand it over to Baiquan."
"That's right."
As Chen Ming spoke, he suddenly seemed to have remembered something and said: "Bai Quan promised me before that as long as I can kill the Nova, I can make any reasonable requests, so now I'm thinking about what requests I should make to him."
< br>
"Baiquan killed two battleships at once, as well as a new model of Nova. Combat data and hull data... Did you get these data in the dock?"
"Yes, I have transferred some of Nova's hull data to the previous team that sneaked into the giant shipyard, and they have brought the data back."
Of course, it was impossible for Chen Ming to give away such things as blueprints. He just gave Bai Quan some of the new-class ship data recorded in the database.
After all, he controls the core of the giant shipyard, so it is more reasonable to find something in the core and give it away than to say that he found nothing.
It also makes people more doubtful that he has a complete blueprint for a new star here.
The boss was not surprised that Chen Ming had obtained the data, and continued: "That's right. With these things in hand, Bai Quan will definitely get their internal rewards, and maybe he will be promoted."
"When the time comes to order more, he will definitely be able to pay, and he will definitely be willing to pay."
"Also, even if he is not a psyker, you can still ask him for anything related to psionic energy, and he will definitely have it."
"What do you want specifically? I will give you some advice later."
The boss looked very interested in this matter, but Chen Ming still said: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Okay, then there's no need to rush. Bai Quan should be busy during this time."
"You may not be able to get anything if you go to him now, think about it slowly."
"Yeah."
Chen Ming adjusted his sitting position on the hospital bed.
At this time he suddenly discovered a problem.
His mental strength seemed to be restored.
He doesn't feel any fatigue now, and at the same time, he doesn't feel the pain of mental shock after mental exhaustion.
What is going on?
Chen Ming didn't understand, so he asked his boss: "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Hmm... probably less than a day."
"Only one day?"
Chen Ming didn't think that his previous mental exhaustion could be resolved by being in a coma for a day.
He frowned slightly and carefully observed his situation through his mental power.
Suddenly, he discovered that his overall mental state was not even the state before he fell into coma.
But earlier, he started to help Bai Quan, when his mental power was at its highest limit.
Wait, that's not right.
Chen Ming noticed something was wrong again.
The upper limit of his mental power has obviously been significantly reduced due to mental exhaustion before.
After this coma, all the lowered upper limit of his mental power was restored, and even improved significantly.
Just like the improvement of his mental strength after undergoing extremely high-intensity training.
"What's going on?"
Hearing Chen Ming's sudden question, the boss subconsciously asked: "What did you say?"
"My mental strength has recovered, and there are no side effects from forcing myself on."
"Oh, this."
Laolai thought it was something important, but he didn't expect it to be this.
After hearing what Chen Ming said, he knocked on the wall next to him casually.
A shadow that was much thinner than before poked its head out of the wall, and then went back.
It was the Ship Spirit who helped Chen Ming bear the mental loss.
This situation also made him fully realize what it meant to say that the Ship Spirit is the psyker's other life.
Just when Chen Ming was sighing at the awesomeness of the boat spirit.
The terminal in the boss's hand vibrated again.
He picked up the terminal, took a look at it, and said to Chen Ming: "Xiao Ming, I told you before that the president wants to see you, right? He wants to talk to you in advance now."
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay."
The boss picked up the phone and handed the terminal to Chen Ming.
A gentle and steady voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone. He sounded older than the boss: "Hello, Chen Ming."
"Hello...President."
"I've heard about you from Wu An for a long time."
"Yeah, me too."
The president smiled and said: "I'm looking for you today just to have a casual chat with you and get to know each other."
"If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask it. If it can be answered over the phone, I will tell you on the spot."
The president's attitude towards Chen Ming was so good that Chen Ming glanced at the boss next to him a little uncertainly.
However, the boss just spread his hands and signaled Chen Ming to decide what to do.
"Thank you in advance, President. I would like to ask, how did you solve the last dimensional infection? What did Boss Wu mean when he told me that it was only roughly solved? Also, what exactly is a dimensional infection?"
"Have Wu An told you a specific solution?"
"He said you banished those things."
The president suddenly fell silent for some reason.
Then he said: "It's not considered exile. Exile requires a specific place to be exiled, but I just threw those deformed eyeballs from that time out of our universe."
"I don't know exactly where it was thrown, but I'm sure it's not somewhere else in our universe."
"It's not in hyperspace, nor any space similar to hyperspace that we are studying."
"It's not even the original space of these things, that's why Wu An told you that it has been roughly solved."
So random?
This thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered his unstable hyperspace channel jump engine.
It's also random, but this one is only limited to hyperspace.
"As for the question you asked about what dimensional infection is, I can't give you an accurate answer."
"Our current research progress on dimensional infection is still relatively lagging behind."
"You have experienced it yourself and know that ordinary people have no way to come into contact with these things,
"Only me and a few researchers who are psykers have been studying these things, but the efficiency can only be said to be average."
"But you can generally understand dimensional infection as another space or dimension, a means of eroding our place."
Chen Ming suddenly understood something.
Of course, it's not what the dimensional infection is, but the reason why the president wants to find him.
This may have something to do with his psychic abilities, but the bigger reason should be that he is an experiencer of dimensional infection, and is also the genetic source of the clones that caused the dimensional infection.
And the president just said that they are researching that dimension.
Then Chen Ming, who happens to be from a serious major, can be invited to join them.
Although Chen Ming studied engineering, not science, he at least had some foundation in this area.
And although his studies were also in the direction of machinery and spaceships, it did not affect his research on that dimension.
After all, if we really want to count it, the hyperspace that supports the entire empire can also be regarded as a kind of dimension.
So as a product that occupies the two research directions of machinery and spacecraft at the same time, it can enter the hyperspace channel system of the dimension of hyperspace. It just illustrates the connection between machinery and other dimensions.
Moreover, Chen Ming is also a psyker. When facing that special dimension, he has natural resistance that ordinary people do not have at all.
So it is definitely no problem to find Chen Ming.
The president came here this time probably because he wanted Chen Ming to join him and help him with his research.
Even if Chen Ming doesn't want to join them, going over to meet and chat in person will definitely be helpful to his research.
Chen Ming's current thoughts will not change. He will definitely continue to explore outside the empire and stay away from all kinds of troubles within the empire.
Therefore, Chen Ming has no idea about joining the psychic association or joining the president's research team.
But if it's just a chat, a simple favor, it's okay.
So Chen Ming responded after thinking for a while: "I understand."
"One more question is that I got an amber-like thing. What is the specific use of this thing?"
The president still said to Chen Ming in the same kind manner as before: "Wu An has already told me about that thing of yours, but it's not easy to talk about it on the phone. We can talk in detail when we meet in a few days."
< br>
"But I can tell you its name first, to condense the source of spiritual energy."
"This is a name I found from the ruins of another civilization before. I also found some related documents at that time."
"Well...actually you can ask some questions, and I can tell you what I can tell you now."
"It's not okay to say it on the phone. We can talk about it later."
"Okay."
Chen Ming immediately asked the question that he had been thinking about for a long time: "Why is this thing called the source of psychic energy? Shouldn't the origin of my psychic energy be in myself?"
The president replied: "The condensed spiritual energy source is not the spiritual energy source, and the spiritual energy source you are referring to is not called the spiritual energy source."
"Wu An has arranged for the origin of psychic energy, so I won't tell you the specific name. You will know it later."
"All you need to know now is under normal circumstances."
"'Condensing the source of psychic energy' requires the psychic to actively guide all of his or her spiritual power outside the body."
"As long as there is a certain carrier, these spiritual energies will naturally condense and form the source of condensed spiritual energy."
"It sounds easy to achieve, but first of all you should know that when a psyker's mental power is exhausted, he will suffer mental shock and become comatose."
"This alone can eliminate many ordinary psychics. Their mental power cannot support such consumption."
"Unless there are special circumstances or a powerful enough psyker can do this."
Hear this.
Chen Ming suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to fulfill such a request.
He had previously relied on the upper limit of mental power consumption to achieve a situation where his mental power was exhausted but not comatose.
He can completely guide all his mental power outside the body. As long as there is a carrier, he can once again create a condensed spiritual energy source.
The boss next to him seemed to have thought of this, and his expression changed slightly.
There were surprises about Chen Ming's ability, but also about the source of condensed spiritual energy itself.
The boss is indeed able to channel all his mental energy outside the body while still staying awake.
But he had never heard of the existence of condensed spiritual energy, and he didn't know how to create it.
Either he is ignorant or ignorant.
Or, the existence of this condensed spiritual energy source is extremely rare, even rarer than the already rare ship spirit itself, and there are not even enough samples to confirm its existence.
But since the president has made it clear that this thing really exists, then the key to condensing the original existence of spiritual energy should be on that carrier.
Just as Chen Ming and the boss were thinking at this time, the president's next sentence was about the carrier.
"Even if the psyker meets the previous needs, the remaining carrier will be extremely difficult to solve."
"Because it does not have a fixed specific existence, the carrier required for each psyker's psychic energy to condense when it is directed outside the body is different."
"There are so many possibilities at extremely high costs, and it is almost impossible to test what substances can serve as carriers."
"So I only know of two existences of the source of condensed spiritual energy."
"One is yours and the other is someone else I know."
Chen Ming still asked with some confusion at this time: "Then why is it called this name?"
"I just said, this is the name recorded on the document I found from the ruins of another civilization, it was not named by me."
"But I can give you a rough explanation, so you can understand it this way."
"When the psyker controls all the mental power to be directed outside the body to form this thing, the essence of the thing it finally forms must be the same as the essence of your psionic energy."
"But it's not your spiritual essence, so I added 'condensation' in front to distinguish it. It has no special meaning."
"That's it."
Chen Ming responded with a vague understanding, and then asked: "Isn't this thing a bit like a ship spirit?"
"Ship Spirit? It does look a bit like it."
"But the ship spirit is special. The ship spirit is a psychic creature that is born when the daily mental power of the psyker escapes and the surrounding objects are in the psychic environment for a long time."
"Condensing the source of spiritual energy is an object that requires the active release of mental power to create."
"In essence, it is somewhat similar. They are both similar to the psychic origin of psykers, but the details are definitely different."
The president suddenly thought of something and said: "Speaking of it, your situation of condensing the source of spiritual energy is also quite special."
"It was with the help of those aberrant heart tissues that helped you condense the condensed spiritual energy source in advance, and then it was influenced by your ship spirit and became your condensed spiritual energy source, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, this is a situation that is very difficult to reproduce. No, it is completely impossible to reproduce."
"The source of your condensed spiritual energy obtained through this method is even more special among the special."
"But what is so special about it can only be determined by seeing it myself."
Chen Ming responded again and said: "Then I have another question, which is, can this condensed spiritual energy source be condensed into multiple pieces?"
"This involves the use of this thing. The documents I found just have these records, but I will tell you later."
"But let me remind you first, don't try this."
"Okay, I have no other questions, thank you, President."
"Okay, see you in two days."
Communication ends.
Chen Ming also has a basic understanding of the president.
He returned the terminal to the boss and said smoothly: "The president is so easy-going."
"The president takes the initiative to see you. If he doesn't agree with you, who will?"
"Same."
The boss put away the terminal, reached out and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and asked: "Is your body okay? If so, we will set off early."
Speaking of his body, Chen Ming noticed that several doctors and nurses had left the ward at some point.
So he felt for himself that he was indeed physically tired.
But mentally, it's pretty good. It's not an exaggeration to say it's very good.
The ship spirit gave him great spiritual protection.
Moreover, Chen Ming does not need to sail the boat himself next, he only needs to have enough mental strength.
So he thought about it and said, "Yes, I can leave now."
"Do you think we should bring doctors and nurses with us?"
Chen Ming thought about it again and said, "Take it with you. If something happens along the way, you won't have to go to the colony."
The boss nodded, picked up the terminal and clicked a few times, then said to Chen Ming: "Then..."
As soon as the boss finished speaking, he suddenly saw Chen Ming's expression change.
Became extremely pale.
The boss quickly asked: "Are you okay?"
A little cold sweat broke out on Chen Ming's forehead, and he said incoherently: "No, no, we can't go, we absolutely can't meet."
"There's something wrong with this!"
Because at the moment when Chen Ming planned to activate the highest point and go to the galaxy given to him by his boss.
Once again, Chen Ming clearly sensed the special sense of danger coming from the depths of the starry sky in the space of consciousness.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, and he immediately connected them together.
These thoughts connected together gave Chen Ming an extremely terrifying conjecture.
The boss, who was not aware of all this, reached out and held Chen Ming's shoulders, frowned and looked into his eyes carefully and said, "What's the problem? Are you talking about the president?"
"No, no, not the president."
Chen Ming quickly denied it, and at the same time said to his boss extremely nervously: "Boss, you said it before."
"The existence of another space that causes dimensional infection can locate the position of our empire, and it also locates it for twenty years at a time."
"All of our newborns in the past twenty years and the cloning experiments that were still being carried out at that time were all aberrant."
"It wasn't until twenty years later, when the relative positions of our two dimensions were staggered, that they gradually lost our coordinates, right?"
The boss knew what he had said, so he immediately admitted: "Yes."
"Then the president and I, two people who have experienced dimensional infection, and are also the gene providers of the dimensional infection targets, aren't we just coordinate data for things in that space?"
The boss seemed to be aware of the problem, frowning and thinking.
Chen Mingze continued: "If the position of the president is equivalent to a point, it has no meaning for our universe and another dimension."
"Because there is only one point but two faces, no, there are two spaces, so it is impossible to position it just by relying on this point."
"Because the beings over there don't know the relative positions of the two dimensions. Otherwise, when there is only one point of the president, the other dimension will no longer be able to lose our position."
"So a point has no value."
"But when the second point appears, that is, when my position appears, as long as these two coordinates are connected, they have practical meaning."
