Chapter 325 Investigation
After Chen Ming turned his attention to the galaxy of the mechanical race.
He immediately confirmed the location of the phase beast through the reconnaissance fleet and moved around.
Although his actions were clearly seen by the reconnaissance fleet with authority from the legion next to him, no one said anything.
So Chen Ming's fleet just circled to another area on the planet that was the most severely destroyed.
There is a high probability that this is also the place where the phase beasts will attack and wreak havoc immediately.
When the reconnaissance fleet was investigating the planet's environment and operating around the planet.
Chen Ming has seen the ruins of many mechanical buildings in this area.
Chen Ming once saw the city of the mechanical tribe.
He knew the general functions of many mechanical buildings, so when he saw this ruins, he knew that there must be something he needed here.
Although there are some buildings that Chen Ming has never seen before, he doesn’t know what they are used for.
But the buildings that Chen Ming had not seen in his previous mechanical city must be relatively rare buildings and must have their own special characteristics, which made it even more important for him to go and see them.
Chen Ming's Stardust class quickly arrived directly above the target location he found.
On this Stardust-class ship, Chen Ming used his spiritual energy to create a shuttle boat and a robot.
The shuttle boat can be used casually, as long as it can help him reach the planet safely.
But the style of the robot was carefully considered.
Just follow the robot model based on power armor that he used when he was working at the headquarters, and then install an additional afterglow core.
This form should be called a mechanical armored body. It is compact and easy to move.
In addition, Chen Ming's control of the humanoid mechanical body is more comfortable than other shapes, which is enough to complete what Chen Ming wants to do next.
After transferring the main consciousness to this robot.
Chen Ming controlled the robot to board the shuttle boat and headed straight towards the planet below.
After being attacked by some extremely thin and scattered anti-aircraft firepower, Chen Ming's shuttle boat arrived above the destination.
Looking around, the surroundings are filled with the remains of metal structures, as well as a large number of fragments of machines that were crushed to pieces.
This was supposed to be a highly developed mechanical construction area, but now there is only ruins left.
But it doesn't matter what the ruins are, as long as they are mechanical things, Chen Ming's spiritual energy can be used to repair them.
Because of this, the place Chen Ming chose was also a place he carefully selected.
here.
It is the nanorobot production factory of the mechanical clan.
There are three most critical things in an individual of the mechanical race.
Secondary cores, core chips, and nanobots.
The basic secondary core and core chip are used to ensure the operation of the mechanical family individuals. Their manufacturing is no longer a problem for Chen Ming
So for Chen Ming now, the key lies in nanorobots.
This is the key to ensuring the mechanical race's wartime self-repair capabilities and endurance combat capabilities.
At the same time, it can be regarded as one of the most technologically valuable equipment in the mechanical family.
Moreover, it is also the limiting condition for the speed of Chen Ming’s production machinery family.
Chen Ming currently only has one nanorobot production facility.
It was found in the city of that small independent mechanical clan in the past, and has been sent by Chen Ming to the new colony of his mechanical clan.
The number of nanorobot manufacturing equipment limits the speed of manufacturing a fully functional mechanical family.
And if there is only one piece of equipment, it can only meet the production needs of some city-level individual mechanical races.
If you want more, you can either limit the capabilities of individual machines and reduce their maintenance requirements.
Or just ignore it completely and let robots with poor endurance and maintenance performance be produced.
Chen Ming didn't want to choose, he wanted a complete mechanical race individual.
So he discovered this building in space and came here as soon as he had time.
His goal is to seize the nanorobot manufacturing equipment here.
He wanted to make the robots in his hands more "industrial" so that the expansion efficiency of his mechanical race could keep up with the reproductive efficiency of the Zerg race.
Although this may sound like wishful thinking at first glance.
The insect queen has long been able to convert the planet into its own nutrition and into an insect nest, and is now undergoing a key evolution.
The robot family in Chen Ming's hands covers the scope of a small human colonial city.
The difference is not just a little bit big.
But Chen Ming always felt that the industrial metal wave could compete with the infinite proliferation of Zerg.
It's just that the scale hasn't increased yet, so the efficiency is a little slower. When the scale increases in the future, the results will eventually be seen.
This requires starting from the most basic equipment and building up industrialization step by step.
The shuttle craft landed on the planet of the mechanical race.
Chen Ming immediately controlled the mechanical armor body and knocked open the door of the shuttle boat.
Immediately, a burst of ferocious mechanical firepower enveloped him.
This was caused by a small number of individuals from the mechanical race who were not affected by the phase monster's attack. They found the exact location of Chen Mingjing's landing among the ruins during the landing of the shuttle boat.
Although it is a small part, this small part is compared to the time before the mechanical city was destroyed.
A small part of a city is already out of reach for an individual.
So now, Chen Ming has been surrounded by a large number of mechanical race individuals.
Countless electromagnetic weapon projectiles are constantly hitting the mechanical armor body and the shuttle boat next to it.
Although these mechanical weapon attacks are of little use to Chen Ming, they can indeed continuously suppress Chen Ming's next move.
And in a very short period of time, two more mechanical centipedes, the main ground combat units of the mechanical clan, were approaching Chen Ming.
One is equipped with a charge cannon and the other is equipped with a charge machine gun.
The moment Chen Ming was discovered, the heavy warhead of the charge cannon came out instantly and hit the shuttle boat behind Chen Ming.
The destructive explosion and flashing arc completely enveloped the figure inside.
The shuttle boat was instantly wiped out.
But the figure of the mechanical armor controlled by Chen Ming was still moving at high speed in the arc and smoke.
He dodged this sudden powerful attack.
But the other Centipede isn't just eating dry food either.
The charge machine gun immediately followed Chen Ming's footsteps, and countless charge warheads landed on the footprints that Chen Ming had just stepped on.
After the charge warhead hit, the arcs that exploded one after another seemed to leave a lightning trail behind Chen Ming.
It looks extremely gorgeous, but it is also extremely dangerous.
However, the capabilities of the mechanical armor controlled by Chen Ming are different from ordinary power armor.
Under the premise that there are no internal pilot restrictions, Chen Ming's psychic power increases, and the maintenance psychic power ensures that the internal devices are not damaged at all times.
The comprehensive combat power it can exert is more than five times higher than normal conditions.
Even if Chen Ming is forced into a dead end, he still has a jetpack that can forcefully accelerate him, breaking through the upper limit of the movement efficiency of just relying on ordinary body structures.
The mechanical clan's ground firepower was simply not enough to pose any threat to him.
Today is different from the past.
Soon, all the bullets from the Mechanical Centipede's charge machine gun were fired.
Take advantage of the gap between reloading the charge machine gun and charging the warhead.
Chen Ming finally had time to stand safely on the ground. A large amount of metallic liquid overflowed from the feet of the mechanical armor body, covering the entire ruins.
All nearby mechanical race individuals, including the two centipedes, were contaminated with the metallic liquid in just ten seconds.
Just for a moment.
Their movements became stiff and they no longer continued to attack Chen Ming.
And inside them, their connection with the hive mind network of the mechanical race was instantly disconnected and ceased to exist.
The data on the chip was chaotic, and the operation of the secondary core was slightly stiff.
And after this brief moment of confusion.
They connect to a new cellular network.
They become anomalous sub-individuals.
Instead, he began to defend Chen Ming from the approaching robots in areas farther away that were not covered by the metal liquid.
Of course, this does not mean that Chen Ming’s spiritual energy can be controlled through non-afterglow derivatives.
In fact, this is just a derivative ability he achieved by using psychic effects.
Chen Ming's current spiritual power can transfer the core of Afterglow.
This means that afterglow cores can appear in all places where Chen Ming's spiritual energy is affected, and they can indirectly become the medium for Chen Ming to control new things.
It is no longer like before. Once Chen Ming is not present in a certain place, or there is no afterglow core, and the distance is too far, then Chen Ming can only use various means to send the afterglow core or himself there before he can control it.
But it's different now. Chen Ming can transfer the afterglow core anywhere there are things under his control.
Then only a simple data line is needed, and a robot equipped with the Afterglow Core can help Chen Ming do many things.
Of course, it sounds simple, but in fact it is difficult to contact mechanical equipment through data lines.
Limited by the environment that does not necessarily have a data line, Chen Ming's own technical skills and fine control of psychic abilities were insufficient some time ago.
If you really want to use psychic energy to control it, you still have to look at the specific situation.
It would be okay if Chen Ming took the initiative to sneak in, he would have the opportunity to slowly cause trouble.
But if it was a head-on battle, no machine would give Chen Ming a chance to access the data line unless he had already defeated the machine.
Therefore, Chen Ming came up with a more advanced way of using it.
These seemingly ordinary metal liquids are mixed with data lines that are only single molecule thick.
As long as it is covered by metallic liquid, the single-molecule data lines hidden in it will forcefully break into the interior of the mechanical device and control it like a beast that has discovered its prey.
The density of the mechanical clan's dolomite armor was simply unable to withstand Chen Ming's power.
As long as Chen Ming is given a chance to get closer, there will only be one ending.
for his use.
Of course, there are limitations to this method, that is, the metallic liquid must remain connected to the source, that is, the afterglow core, and the data line must not be broken. In many cases, the enemy is not a fool most of the time. He will hide when he sees a large area of metal liquid splashed over him.
Anyone who knows the role of Chen Ming's metal liquid will often deliberately avoid it and will not give the metal liquid a chance to come into contact.
But there is a solution to this.
Chen Ming could get a large area of metallic liquid as a covert means, and then get a few extra single-molecule data lines to ambush in secret.
Using the data cable directly is too easy to detect, and the data cable itself is too fragile, but if you use both at the same time.
As long as they are not extremely sensitive to psychic fluctuations, can see single-molecule data lines with the naked eye, or can sense data lines, all other mechanical enemies are not to be feared.
Chen Ming felt that the machine clan would most likely not give him the opportunity to get in close contact with them like he did now.
This time, it was also the phase beast that broke through the defenses of the mechanical clan in the front and completely defeated the mechanical clan, which Chen Ming could only pick up from behind.
Otherwise, given the Machine Tribe's full preparations for attacking his fleet, there must be a bunch of defensive means waiting for him here.
Of course, now it's a situation where Chen Mingai does whatever she wants.
Even if the Machine Tribe wants to send reinforcements, they still have to consider the giant beasts raging on the planet.
So after Chen Ming's metallic liquid was released and controlled the surrounding mechanical clan, this factory area has become Chen Ming's territory.
The metallic liquid expanded again, gradually bringing the entire factory into his psychic control.
After repairing the equipment in several nanorobot factories, these important pieces of equipment immediately disappeared into the collapsed factory building.
He was sent all the way to the stronghold of his mechanical clan by Chen Ming.
Some of the nearby manufacturing factory facilities are also related to the manufacturing of machinery, and Chen Ming also repaired and packed them all away.
He now has the equivalent of a mechanical clan city on hand, both in terms of the number of mechanical clans and the number of facilities supporting the mechanical clan.
The mechanical city he controlled before was just a small border stronghold of Shining Civilization, not even an outpost.
The amount of equipment he owns is pitifully small, and many of them are equipment that Chen Ming himself found a way to manufacture and supplement.
It would definitely be a good thing if I could add something here.
Chen Ming's spiritual energy swept out again, completely clearing the surrounding area, leaving only the ruins of useless building materials.
After confirming that there was nothing nearby, Chen Ming looked a little further away.
If these facilities here are one of the reasons why Chen Ming chose this place as a landing place.
Then another reason is that the nearby area is an area that was rebuilt as quickly as possible after the phase monster was raging.
There are many living mechanized psychic creatures there, as well as dead individuals.
Chen Ming can obtain a considerable number of mechanized psychic biological samples,
Although when the Legion comes here, there is a high probability that they can obtain quite a lot of samples, and they will definitely give him a considerable portion in the end.
After all, he can now be regarded as the person who has gone farthest in the research of the mechanical race.
But if you have to wait until Legion gets it, you don’t know how long it will take.
It's better for him to come over and try to get some away in person.
Chen Ming was very curious about whether this kind of mechanized psychic creature was created, or whether it was transformed from a creature into a machine race by some kind of device.
As long as he can figure out the principle, maybe he can reproduce it.
If we could create a new mechanized Zerg... or even apply this effect to people...
Chen Ming suddenly couldn't imagine what would happen.
I restrained my divergent thinking a little bit.
Chen Ming controlled the mechanical armor body and approached the place where the mechanized psychic creatures gathered.
He could tell from space just now that these mechanized psychic creatures seemed to be protecting a facility.
Originally, Chen Ming speculated that it was a factory used by the mechanical tribe to manufacture or transform mechanical psychic creatures.
But when Chen Ming came here, he observed it from a low perspective.
Something seems wrong.
This place doesn't look like a factory, but more like some kind of machine room, not like some kind of control center.
Although the place has half collapsed, there are a large number of mechanical individuals working desperately to repair the building.
A large number of mechanical individuals, no matter what type of individuals they are, as long as they have some fighting ability, are all surrounding them.
Protect this building.
A considerable number of mechanical tribesmen have begun to think about Chen Ming's approach.
But when Chen Ming was prepared in advance, the metallic liquid had already penetrated from the ground.
When the mechanical tribe approached, the swarms of mechanical tribes immediately turned back and pointed their guns at their own people a second ago.
The mechanical tribes near the building didn't even have time to take countermeasures. Countless single-molecule data lines invisible to the naked eye had already spread out from the ground, completely taking control of the situation.
Chen Ming immediately looked at the panels of those mechanical psychic creatures through the panel.
Overall, it is similar to the panel of the ordinary mechanical family.
The first line is the name [Psychic Mechanical Creature], followed by the prototype name of the mechanical psionic creature.
Everything else is basically the same.
Only the most critical line [Mechanical Awakening Nerve] is significantly different from ordinary mechanical races.
It can only be said that mechanical psychic creatures are very special.
Because normal psychic creatures do not have spiritual enlightenment nerves, this mechanical spiritual enlightenment nerve is definitely worth studying.
but.
Chen Ming was not in a hurry to study these psychic mechanical creatures immediately.
Since these things are already under his control, sooner or later they will be his.
Now, he wanted to take a closer look at the building in front of him.
The metallic liquid swept up again, completely covering the entire building.
then.
Chen Ming unexpectedly discovered that this building was not a factory for the mechanical clan to manufacture or transform mechanical psychic creatures as he had previously guessed.
It is actually the central node of the mechanical clan, the core of this mechanical clan colony.
From space, 80% of the planet's area is already covered by the mechanical race.
Among them, it can be divided into three large colonies and some scattered small colonies.
This is the core of a large colony, the largest one.
It can only be said that many of the mechanical buildings have the same height. The ability to distinguish the factory was only possible by Chen Ming's repeated observation of the details of the mechanical buildings.
Other buildings may not all be recognized correctly.
And this building is indeed a building that Chen Ming has never seen before.
Fortunately, admitting a mistake has little impact.
Chen Ming still successfully controlled the entire building.
And an empty slot in the core area of the building where the "mechanical rear" was supposed to be installed was discovered.
And in this central node database, a complete plan for the construction of a mechanical colony.
The mechanical tribe has already planned its next development route.
These plans and routes were all displayed in front of Chen Ming.
Chen Ming noticed that in this development plan, in addition to allowing the machine race to expand to nearby galaxies, there was also an inexplicable planning route that extended straight from this galaxy to dozens of galaxies away.
The lieutenant general has no place to stay and seems to want to directly develop such an "enclave".
What does this mean?
Chen Ming continued to search in the database, and soon he found the reason why the machine clan did this.
Because in that galaxy, there are the coordinates of an unexplored shining civilization ruins.
Chen Ming was a little surprised to learn this result.
Because his fleet did find some ruins when exploring nearby galaxies.
But those and others have basically been annihilated by time, and Chen Ming's spiritual power cannot save them.
Unexpectedly, there were ruins that he had not found.
However, it is impossible for Chen Ming's fleet to scan all planets or even the depths of the planet's underground during reconnaissance, so it is normal for some to be missed.
Chen Ming guessed that the ruins should be deep underground and had just escaped scanning.
That's normal.
Although the mechanical race is a relic of the Shining Civilization, they have indeed lost many technologies of the Shining Civilization.
Therefore, they do need to develop the ruins of the shining civilization. Only in this way can they recover some of the lost things. This is normal.
The Machine Tribe probably wants to establish a foothold here before developing the ruins and build a new development base based on the ruins.
It's just that Chen Ming doesn't quite understand why the mechanical tribe doesn't go there directly.
But since the mechanical tribe did this, they must have their reasons.
There may be troubles there that require a period of development for the mechanical race to deal with.
Of course, now they don't have to deal with it.
After being attacked by the phase beast, the mechanical clan's power in this area has dropped to a low point.
Therefore, Chen Ming will help them solve the ruins.
All information has been collected.
Chen Ming also decisively transferred the entire database and everything he obtained.
And immediately built a new shuttle boat and took off.
There are plans for the development of the Machine Tribe in the database, and of course there are also architectural plans for the entire Machine Tribe colony.
So Chen Ming has now figured out the construction rules of the entire mechanical colony.
His shuttle flew in the direction of the Mechanical Clan's building where mechanical psychic creatures were manufactured.
In the middle of the crime, the shuttle boat got slightly closer to the location where the phase monster was raging that the reconnaissance fleet was really paying attention to.
Chen Ming also heard the call that seemed to come from the deep sea again just like before.
But Chen Ming had no way to respond.
He could only record the audio that only he could hear, and leave it to figure out the reason later.
