Chapter 332 Contact
After Chen Ming decided to contact the phase beast, he immediately confirmed the location of the phase beast through the reconnaissance fleet he left in the galaxy of the mechanical race.
At this time, the phase beast is still stationed in the sky above the planet of the mechanical tribe.
Although Chen Ming took away the entire colony and confused the phase beast, it did not remain confused for long.
Through the pictures of the mechanical buildings and mechanical units on the planet that have not been completely destroyed before, they are being destroyed by inexplicable external forces.
It can be seen that it is still continuing to do what he was going to do before.
After locking the position of the phase beast, a phase ship controlled by Chen Ming immediately arrived in the galaxy under the influence of his psychic energy.
Of course, he did not get too close to the planet where the phase beast was located, but kept a considerable distance.
immediately.
Chen Ming activated the phase ship through the control method he just learned in the ship research institute.
Under the joint stimulation of the phase coil and various phase devices, the phase ship successfully entered the phase space.
Although the boat looks shabby, it is not ambiguous at all in use.
The spacecraft's sensors were also activated after simple debugging.
At this moment, Chen Ming finally saw the full picture of the phase beast hidden in the phase space.
It was a giant manta ray-like beast that was about the same length as a cruiser, but several times larger.
It has extremely obvious dark blue and deep purple interlaced lines, and underneath the lines are fine, hard scales.
Not smooth skin like a manta ray.
But the biggest difference between it and the manta ray is that its tail does not have only one tail, but two.
Moreover, there are rings of purple lines at the ends of the two tails, extending to the base of the tail.
These ring patterns flash rhythmically like breathing with the same purple light as the phase coil operates.
It seems that the tail is the source of power for the phase beast to survive in the phase space.
However, Chen Ming did not sense any psychic fluctuations, which showed that the power of the phase beast was something it was born with.
In addition, there are two tentacles similar to the end of the tail extending from near the top of the phase beast's head. They also have ring-shaped purple lines that glow intermittently like the tail.
And the tentacles are like the tentacles of ants that are constantly swinging. It seems that these two tentacles are not only responsible for the same function as the tail, but also are its sensory organs.
Apart from these two characteristics, the other parts of the phase beast's body probably don't look much different from those of manta rays.
wrong.
Chen Ming suddenly noticed.
Just when the phase behemoth was swimming in the medium of phase space.
For a brief moment its front was overtaking his phase ship.
At this moment, Chen Ming saw the front of the phase beast's head.
It does not have a mouth underneath its body like a manta ray.
Like other common mammals, the mouth length is relatively close to the bottom of the eyes and nose, and it has a head that is relatively close to normal human concepts.
This kind of head structure is generally used for biting or chewing, and it is unknown what the phase beast uses it to bite.
Other than that, there should be nothing special about it.
While Chen Ming was carefully observing the phase beast.
The phase beast didn't seem to notice Chen Ming and continued to destroy the mechanical tribe.
Chen Ming chose to continue observing for a while and recorded all the behavior of the phase beast.
Because the empire does not seem to have an actual image of the phase beast. The last time Chen Ming encountered the phase beast and the empire sent a fleet there, the phase beast had already run away.
Just this time, it was Chen Ming who took the opportunity.
The image data recorded by him will definitely be valuable.
After obtaining enough information.
Chen Ming did not waste any more time.
He inspired some of the things he had left on the planet before that were controlled by his psychic powers.
At a certain distance from the phase beast, a new robot was built in a normal cosmic environment and had the robot hold the walkie-talkie.
Although this planet of the mechanical race is not a habitable planet, it does have an atmosphere and air that is not suitable for human beings to breathe.
It doesn't matter if it's not suitable for breathing, as long as there is a medium, sound can propagate.
This planet can easily solve the problem of sound transmission after Chen Ming's voice is transmitted to the phase space.
After preparing the robot, Chen Ming prepared for a while and then switched his consciousness to the robot he had just created.
This direct transfer of consciousness will create a link between the robot and Chen Ming.
It is this link that allows the phase beast to perceive the existence of Chen Ming and the existence of the scarlet dimensional rift in Chen Ming's consciousness space.
And while Chen Ming was doing this, the phase beast that was still cleaning up the scattered mechanical clan on the mechanical clan's territory suddenly stopped moving.
He immediately changed direction and flew towards Chen Ming's robot.
Its speed is very fast. If it is not restricted, it will directly crash into Chen Ming's robot like it did several times before.
But this time, Chen Ming was prepared.
There is a phase ship outside space monitoring the real-time location of the phase beast, and Chen Ming's robot also holds the walkie-talkie in its hand.
That's when the phase beast entered the farthest range of the intercom's voice.
Chen Ming played a voice he had recorded before.
By using the phase beast's own voice, which is slightly processed, and then interacted with the power of the scarlet dimension, it can convey a sound of warning and vigilance.
The moment this sound spread to the phase beast.
The phase beast actually slowed down immediately.
Chen Ming's heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
The fact that the phase beast can slow down due to his voice proves that the phase beast is a creature that can communicate.
This is definitely a good thing for him.
Chen Ming also immediately slowed down the tone of the playing sound and changed the emotions mixed in it, replacing them with vigilance and confusion.
The phase beast continued to slow down its movements further, and it also made a confused sound.
Its body kept turning, as if searching for the source of the sound.
Chen Ming immediately asked the robot to make repeated sounds and continued to move in a small area, trying to attract the attention of the phase beast.
finally.
The phase beast noticed the tiny presence on the ground.
Notice that it is this tiny existence that emits the aura that attracts it and the sound that communicates with it.
Sounds of confusion and curiosity were uttered from the phase beast's vocal organs.
It crawled on the ground cautiously, staring at the robot in front of it with a pair of eyes protected by a protective film.
Although the robot cannot directly see the phase beast, the scene seen by the phase ship in space will not be faked by the sinking ground and turbulent air waves in front of it.
The huge difference between this huge body of a thousand meters and the robot in front of him, which was only more than two meters in size, made Chen Ming a little nervous for a while.
This kind of confrontation with a huge thing that was once unimaginable is the same for anyone.
Although Chen Ming has come into contact with many large spaceships.
But a spaceship is a spaceship, and a creature is a creature.
The spaceship is just a dead thing that he can control, and the feeling brought by the creature in front of him, which he doesn't know whether it is an enemy or a friend, is completely different.
The moment Chen Ming had this idea.
The boat spirit, which also had a close conscious connection with Chen Ming, suddenly jumped in Chen Ming's mind, seeming to express its dissatisfaction.
Chen Ming immediately retracted his previous thoughts and calmed the agitated boat spirit.
After soothing it.
Chen Ming continued to communicate further with the phase beast.
At least so far, everything is going in a good direction.
Chen Ming thought about the current situation for a moment.
The phase beast is wondering and curious about why this robot can do the things it sees and hears at this time.
It is certainly impossible to communicate such detailed things using simple tones and language.
So Chen Ming simply let the robot make sounds of confusion and curiosity.
And let the robot move cautiously towards the crawling phase beast, trying to contact it.
The phase beast looked at the robot that was getting closer and closer. One of the tentacles on its head suddenly dropped down and landed in front of Chen Ming.
Chen Ming probably understood what it meant, and controlled the robot to slowly stretch out his hand and grab the tentacle.
That's when the robot grabs the tentacles.
Chen Ming actually sensed a phase force through the robot.
The robot was obviously in a normal cosmic environment, but Chen Ming felt the familiar pressure from the phase space from the robot, the scarlet dimensional rift that oppressed his consciousness space.
The phase beast not only possesses the power to survive in the phase space, but what it truly possesses is the power of the phase.
It's just that the pressure intensity is much smaller than when Chen Ming's robot is in phase space.
This phase behemoth is not enough to compare with the phase space.
And just when Chen Ming felt the pressure.
The phase beast suddenly made a sound of surprise and surprise.
It seemed that at the same time, it also felt the existence of the scarlet dimension from Chen Ming.
It tried to move toward Chen Ming's robot on the ground.
But its size and mass caused the nearby ground to shake violently, and the robot couldn't even maintain its balance and fell to the ground.
It quickly stopped moving, lowered its tentacles into the hands of Chen Ming's robot again, and continued to try to communicate with Chen Ming.
And this time, it was no longer through sound but through the tentacle that made contact with the robot.
The phase beast conveyed his emotions to Chen Ming through the power of the phase.
It first gave Chen Ming a pitiful apology that seemed a little aggrieved, and then an emotion with obvious interest.
What follows is a complex mixture of three emotions: anger, fear, and greed.
Finally, there is the emotion of anticipation.
Emotional expressions of grievance and interest can be understood. But the latter three intertwined emotions can't be that the phase beast is interested in the scarlet dimension, angry and fearful at the same time, or even greedy for the scarlet dimension, right?
"..."
It seems that this is really possible.
But why doesn’t the phase beast have such emotions towards him with the power of the scarlet dimension?
Chen Ming didn't understand.
At the same time, I don’t understand what the phase beast wants to do specifically.
And although he can sense the phase beast's emotions through its tentacles, he can't give feedback through its tentacles, at least not as a robot
So Chen Ming thought about it for a moment and continued to make a confused sound.
The phase beast also responded to Chen Ming with a confused meaning through its tentacles.
However, one person and one beast did not fall into an endless loop of asking each other questions.
I saw a pair of huge eyes of the phase beast turning a few times, and its huge body slowly floated into the air and circled around Chen Ming's robot.
The two tentacles on its head trembled slightly, emitting a slightly brighter purple light
But this time Chen Ming didn't hear any sound, and he didn't feel anything at all. He could only continue to make confused sounds.
The phase beast suddenly seemed to understand something, and its tentacles dexterously rubbed its forehead twice. This action was like a human scratching its head.
Its tentacles scratched off a few scales and landed in front of Chen Ming's robot.
Then the phase beast suddenly rose into the air and left the range restricted by the planet's gravity.
A burst of purple light erupted from its body and disappeared in front of Chen Ming.
It jumped away.
Only Chen Ming's robot was left crushed to the ground by the turbulent air waves when it took off.
"?"
Chen Ming was really confused now.
There was no reason for the phase beast to suddenly run away. This was definitely not because Chen Ming's question mark had stimulated it, but for some other reason.
Chen Ming could not catch up with the speed of the phase beast, and the transition fluctuations in the phase space performed by the phase beast were quickly smoothed out by the medium that had just been rolled out.
He couldn't even trace it through the jump traces.
He completely lost track of the phase beast.
But Chen Ming suddenly realized something and quickly asked the robot to go nearby to look for the scales of the phase beast that were blown away by the air waves.
Although Chen Ming's robot is in the normal cosmic environment, things in the phase space exist physically in the normal cosmic environment, but they are just invisible.
Through the reconnaissance of the phase ship in space, Chen Ming quickly found three scales of the phase beast, two blue and one purple, all about the size of a human head.
This was left intentionally by the phase beast.
Because the phase beast has been wandering around the territory of the Machinery Clan for so long, constantly using its body to destroy the buildings and units of the Machinery Clan, but not a single scale has been left behind.
Even in the place where the phase weapons of the mechanical tribe attacked the phase beast, there was nothing left.
If there are scales left, they must be something it left behind on purpose.
It must have some effect.
However, Chen Ming didn't know what the scales meant, or whether the phase beast would come back again.
There was nothing he could do.
However, the harvest of these three scales is real. He can feed the scales to the insect queen after it wakes up from evolution.
These scales must contain the genes of the phase beast.
Chen Ming continued to let the robot wait for a while. However, when the remaining units of the mechanical tribe came to surround his robot, the phase beast still did not come back.
Chen Ming could only give up waiting and left there temporarily.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The legion's fleet finally arrived at the machine race's galaxy after frequent jumps.
The mechanical race seems to have given up on protecting this galaxy, leaving it to fend for itself without any reinforcements.
Only those mechanical individuals on the planet that had not been completely destroyed were still resisting on the planet. After the legion's fleet arrived, they held on for about ten minutes before being completely wiped out.
The legion's fleet immediately dispersed and processed everything belonging to the mechanical race in the entire galaxy.
Everything of value was taken away by the Legion.
The data of all galaxy planets are recorded by the Legion.
Even the nearby galaxy legions went over to take a look. Unfortunately, the mechanical race seemed to have completely given up on this place. The legions made so many moves here but there was no response at all.
It was impossible for the legion's fleet to stay behind the enemy's rear for a long time. After spending a day taking away everything that should be taken away and leaving some interesting things behind, the fleet chose to run away.
And on the same day the legion's fleet arrived behind the mechanical race galaxy.
Chen Ming got two pieces of news.
One is the news that Baiquan will return to the front line in a week.
This means one thing.
The frontal war between the empire and the machine race is about to begin.
The other one was a message from the president.
The phase space dimension infection interaction experiment is ready.
To be precise, it has already begun. It can even be said that it has ended.
Because just the day before yesterday, the president successfully used his spiritual power to capture the dimensional infection entity in the Caimo Star Territory.
And as soon as it was captured, the president directly sent the entity into the phase space, verifying that everything Chen Ming said was true.
Dimensional infected entities that have entered the phase space will be suppressed and killed by the power of the entire space and cannot survive.
Just because the president couldn't obtain any valuable data by doing this, he held onto the entity and waited for two days.
Waiting for the ship research institute in other places to prepare the phase ship, waiting for Chen Ming to send the ship to the vicinity of the Caimo Star Field, and send the dimensional infected entity into the phase space through the phase ship equipped with various detection devices.
The president is already doing this, and the results can be obtained in a short period of time.
And of course the result will only be the same.
But the process will be a little different.
A large amount of data will be obtained, which is enough to prove that everything Chen Ming said before is fine.
And in addition, a group of one hundred pregnant women have been connected to the phase space by a phase ship.
Caimo Star Territory confirmed the candidates for this batch of pregnant women by accurately detecting the specific brain nerve development time points of the fetuses in their bellies.
Although some people raised objections when Chen Ming proposed this idea before.
But the objections turned out to be objections. They still honestly found these pregnant women according to Chen Ming's suggestions and sent them into the phase space at this point in time to conduct experiments.
According to the president, these pregnant women also reflected a slight heaviness of the fetus in their belly at the moment they entered the phase space, which coincided with what Chen Ming said before.
Today, the fetuses of several pregnant women have developed cranial nerves without any distortion.
Although the number is still relatively small, judging from the situation on the president's side, it can basically be judged in advance that the experiment was successful.
Even for people affected by the sequelae of dimensional infection, as long as they can enter the phase space, all the effects will disappear.
However, there is no way to continue to verify whether the fetus will continue to be distorted if the pregnant woman is taken out of the phase space.
No one dares to do such an experiment.
It won't work in terms of animals, because animals will not be affected by the aftermath of dimensional infection.
This is something that has been determined since the last dimensional infection incident. It is speculated that the key to causing dimensional infection lies in cloning the human body, and the scarlet dimension marks the human body and not other creatures.
So the aftermath will only affect humans.
If there is no way to verify it, there is no way to verify it. Anyway, these results are enough now.
It is enough to prove that Chen Ming is correct.
Phase space can suppress the scarlet dimension, at least in phase space.
"How?"
After receiving the president's message, Chen Ming directly posted these two words in the communication group he had established before, which was already filled with all kinds of data and documents.
The director of Caimo Star Territory immediately expressed his position: "Thank you for all your efforts in the interactive experiment of phase space and dimensional infection. We, Caimo Star Territory, will always remember your contribution."
People who had questioned Chen Ming before, especially those from Caimo Starfield, also followed up and apologized to Chen Ming.
The president also sent a message to Chen Ming again: "The follow-up experiment is over. It is no different from what I brought in before. There is nothing to say. Someone will take the initiative to promote the research on phase space later."
"But the research on dimensional infection still has to rely on us."
Chen Ming immediately responded: "I know, I will do it too."
"Well, by the way, the joint organization you created this time also attracted the attention of the Fanchao Research Institute."
"They have mastered phase technology and have built a relatively large-scale device. Its function is to send things into phase space and bring them out later."
Large scale?
Chen Ming asked: "Two days ago, I just said that the empire currently does not have anything to send items to the phase space on a large scale? It seems that the research progress and speed of the equipment are not enough, so the focus is not here, why today?"
"That's enough now," the president said: "The results just developed by the Fanchao Research Institute are enough to send a small space station with a diameter of about five kilometers into the phase space."
"?"
Chen Ming didn't understand what the president meant when he said it was enough now, and asked: "We were studying this before, and then the Fanchao Research Institute joined in to speed up the research?"
"No."
The president denied: "It was developed by the Fanchao Research Institute based on the existing phase technology after learning about what you did."
"You mean it only took one day to make this thing?"
"Yes."
"..."
President Chen Ming's silence felt normal. He had the same reaction when he first learned about the situation at the Fanchao Research Institute.
"The Fanchao Research Institute is like this. They have a very special psyker. There is no need to compare with them."
"You only need to know that they are going to conduct a large-scale experiment next, and they will need to stuff a large number of captured dimensional infected individuals into the space station, and then send the space station into the phase space."
Chen Ming asked: "Is this paving the way for the future?"
"Yes, if there is another dimensional infection in the future, we can try to send the planet directly into the phase space for protection. This is our initial attempt."
Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh: "It's really... such an exaggerated efficiency."
"This is the Fanchao Research Institute."
"There should be further tests in two days, and you may be invited to come over. You can just use your robot to go there, just as a witness."
"You are the initiator of this research. As long as the empire exists for one day, your name will always be remembered by future generations."
