Chapter 334 Failure
Chen Ming frowned and looked carefully at the analysis report provided by the mechanical queen.
The mechanical queen very decisively rejected his idea through analysis, but the decision-making power was still in his hands,
But he did feel that Qian Hou’s analysis was quite reasonable.
The mechanical tribe knew that a war was about to happen, but judging from the defense plans leaked by the previous machine queen, they were not obviously prepared.
Moreover, Chen Ming even learned from Baiquan two days ago that small and medium-sized battles were already taking place on Jialuo's front line.
The robots on the front line were retreating steadily because of the large-scale deployment of military ships and their inability to organize effective resistance.
As of today, it has been forced to let go of control of several border galaxies and continues to shrink.
Although this does reveal some of the role of the Machinery Clan's previous defense map, it is obviously also the reason why the Machinery Clan did not pay attention to the front line at this time.
The reason why the machine race didn't pay attention to the front line even though they knew this situation.
The most likely reason is that there is a Chen Ming squatting behind them, who may stab them from behind at any time.
Although Chen Ming's fleet is average in strength, his ability and his position at the rear of the Machinery Clan mean that the threat to the Machinery Clan is no worse than that of the Empire.
A defeat on the front line will result in the loss of ships and territory at most.
But if you encounter Chen Ming from behind.
It is very likely that not only the ships and territory will be surrendered directly, a large amount of intelligence will be stolen, but the logistics will also be destroyed, and the front line will also encounter various huge problems affecting it.
If you think about it from another perspective, if Chen Ming were placed in the position of the Machine Tribe, he might indeed decide to deal with the troublesome enemy behind him first.
Just as it happened, the mechanical tribe's foreign aid was about to arrive from other directions.
Chen Ming's fleet has been attacked before, and knowing which star field Chen Ming is probably in, it is very likely that Chen Ming will be trapped here by the two sides.
As long as Chen Ming's location can be discovered, there is a high probability that Chen Ming will be severely injured or even killed here.
So all these factors add up.
The Machinery Queen concluded that Chen Ming was temporarily unable to violently snatch the transformation equipment of the Machinery Clan, and instead would be attacked by the Machinery Clan.
So it rejected Chen Ming's idea and asked Chen Ming to consider a new plan.
Defend or retreat.
Since the machine queen has clearly listed all the situations in front of Chen Ming, of course he cannot turn a blind eye. He must make responses and preparations.
Originally, Chen Ming was still thinking about going to see what was in the ruins of that shining civilization after causing trouble for the mechanical tribe. Now he had to at least wait until the mechanical tribe finished causing trouble for him.
First make sure there will be no problems with his pioneering fleet, and then consider the rest.
Moreover, Chen Ming's Afterglow Fleet has only been developing and has not carried out much expansion. It is impossible for it to be an opponent that can fight the machine race head-on.
It's okay to beat Qiu Feng, but once he is really targeted and attacked by the combined efforts of two mechanical clans, it will be fatal for Chen Ming.
He really had to retreat.
But he couldn't just run away like that.
If the machine clan wanted to target him, he really couldn't fight head-on, but he at least had to bite back and tear off a piece of flesh from the machine clan's body.
He can definitely think of a way to counterattack while running.
He had previously had the idea of shortening the scope of investigation during development to speed up the movement and relocation because the mechanical tribe had lurked his fleet nearby and the war was about to begin.
As long as he continues to stay away from the Mechanical Race Star Territory, the war will not affect his fleet.
If you have an idea and preparation in advance, your evacuation will not be too hasty.
By not hastily evacuating, Chen Ming would have the opportunity and time to fight back.
Moreover, the war has already begun, and the first goal of the machine race is not to defend against the empire's first wave of tentative offensives, but to resolve the most troublesome Chen Ming first.
That shows that he certainly has the ability to attract the attention of the mechanical tribe.
These abilities not only allow him to escape from the mechanical tribe.
But since the Weapon Queen has given Chen Ming a plan to defend or retreat, it means that the conditions he just gave to the Weapon Queen are not sufficient.
Chen Ming thought about it and gave the Queen some new conditions.
Including his stronghold, it has been prepared and can be moved at any time.
All of his ships have unlimited firepower, armor, shields and radiation, as long as the logistics can handle it.
Moreover, his ships above the cruise level have an infinite jump system, and ships below the cruise level have the ability to jump infinitely in hyperspace.
When necessary, he can even produce a large number of armor-piercing gun mounts. This is a purely cost-effective gun mount, all equipped with powerful weapons such as tachyon spears, and can be disassembled at any time, ensuring that it will not be damaged at all. There is a loss.
And, the insect queen and her zerg race are about to awaken from evolution.
These are all conditions that Chen Ming had not given to the queen before.
With these new conditions in mind, the mechanical queen immediately re-analyzed a new plan.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Everything on Chen Ming's side is normal and progressing normally.
Including projects in the two laboratories, research tasks on the ontology side, and measures to counterattack the machine race.
Although the three lines of advance made him feel the pressure, it also made him feel a nerve-wracking excitement.
However, these are processes that will take some time to see results.
Chen Ming is not in a hurry to see the results in a day or two.
It just so happened that he was preparing to participate in the second phase space and dimensional infection interactive experiment led by the Fanchao Research Institute today.
With the help of equipment given by a president. Chen Ming connected to a secret network,
And through this network, his holographic projection was projected to a distant place.
Soon, through the perspective of holographic projection, Chen Ming discovered that he was now in a large conference room.
The conference room looks rather special. There are a large number of monitoring screens arranged closely on the wall behind.
Although these monitors are all dark now, they should be useful later.
Chen Ming looked away from the wall and turned to the conference table.
There were nearly fifty people in the conference room at this time. There were many familiar faces that Chen Ming had seen in the last meeting, but there were also many unfamiliar faces.
Among these unfamiliar faces, in addition to some wearing white coats who should be researchers from the Fanchao Research Institute, there are even some who may be from the empire.
Some people said hello to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming responded and came to the seat with his name written on it.
This is a place relatively close to the main seat, and sitting next to him is the holographic projection of the president.
But just before Chen Ming sat down.
Someone who was not a holographic projection but actually in the conference room came over and asked Chen Ming: "Chen Ming, Director Chen?"
"It's me."
It can be seen from the white coat on the visitor that he is also a scientific researcher, so he greeted him as the director of the Chen Ming Chaofan Research Institute.
He smiled, stretched out his hand to Chen Ming and said, "I've heard of you for a long time. I'm Bian Gaoxuan, the person in charge of the Phase Space and Dimension Infection Interaction Project of the Fanchao Research Institute."
Chen Ming suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
When Bai Quan was setting up a research institute for him before, he asked him to name it, and he casually mentioned the name of the Extraordinary Research Institute.
At the beginning, Bai Quan could tell that Chen Ming had changed the order of the names of Fanchao Research Institute and used them. .
Of course the people at the Fanchao Research Institute can also see it.
But Bian Gaoxuan didn't seem to say anything in particular.
Chen Ming pretended that nothing was wrong, stretched out his hand to hold it and said, "Hello, hello, what's the matter?"
Bian Gao I don’t have enough food to eat.”
"It's not that bad. Even if the person in charge doesn't have this project, he will still be able to shine in other projects."
After chatting for a while and exchanging contact information.
Bian Gaoxuan left Chen Ming's side and sat on the main seat.
Now that everyone is here, it’s time for the meeting to begin.
Chen Ming also sat down immediately.
After Bian Gaoxuan tried the microphone, he pressed a button on the computer in front of him.
The surveillance screen behind him immediately lit up, and the picture displayed was in a closed environment.
What exists in this environment is all twisted flesh and various deformed creatures.
The familiar appearance of these flesh and blood creatures is exactly the same as the dimensional infected entities with intestines all over the floor created by the dimensional infection of the recipient's intestines last time.
Then these surveillance pictures should be the space station prepared by the Fanchao Research Institute that the president mentioned before.
In addition to the surveillance of dimensionally infected entities inside the space station, there are also some surveillance of the exterior of the space station in the corner of the wall behind Bian Gaoxuan.
Through these monitors, it can be seen that on both sides of the space station, at a certain distance from the space station, there are two huge pieces of equipment arranged opposite each other.
This should be the device that can send the space station into phase space.
It seems that everything is ready, just waiting for the next step.
Bian Gaoxuan, who was in the main seat, also explained this experiment.
However, the people who could attend this meeting were all people who knew the situation, so he only gave a rough explanation.
By the way, all dimensional infected entities on the space station are captured from the Caimo Star Field, and then fed to pigs to temporarily ensure their activity.
So as not to leave unnecessary noise during the experiment.
According to him, this experiment was launched for two purposes.
One is to further test the suppression effect of phase space on dimensional infected entities.
The previous test only captured a small number of dimensional infected entities, but this time the number was much larger.
Another purpose is to test the effect of the new device developed by Fanchao Research Institute.
In fact, everyone thinks that sending the space station into the phase space should be 100% successful, but some people are skeptical about whether this device can pull the space station out of the phase space.
But this technology is the key to using phase space to suppress dimensional infection. If the planet infected by the dimension is sent into the phase space and cannot be pulled out, it is better not to send it.
So most people actually came today to see whether this device can pull out the space station.
In addition, Bian Gaoxuan also said that a small number of accompanying personnel will enter the phase space together at a safe distance and monitor the space station in the phase space from the outside.
Those present can choose to observe the progress of the entire experiment in the conference room.
Or you can leave first and wait for the notification of the final experimental results.
After all, if you can observe the experimental process, no one will miss this opportunity.
So no one ended the holographic projection and continued to sit in the conference room.
Except Bian Gaoxuan.
After he said what he wanted to say, he left the conference room without any delay, ready to conduct the experiment.
Chen Ming, after communicating with Bian Gaoxuan, used the president's psychic energy to send his robot to the space station that was about to be sent into the phase space.
And those phase ships that will soon follow the space station into the phase space.
The robots on the phase ship have nothing to say, they just need to watch the show from the side.
Robots on the space station have much more to consider.
As the only dimensional infection experiencer who can use psychic energy to participate in dimensional infection events.
Chen Ming needs to personally observe what will happen if a large-scale dimensional infection entity enters.
Of course this is only in name.
In fact, it still makes no sense.
It seemed easy to infect entities from those dimensions last time, and there should be no difference this time.
To sum it up, he came here to watch the show.
While Chen Ming was thinking this, his robots on those phase ships suddenly discovered that Bian Gaoxuan appeared in person in front of his robots.
Bian Gaoxuan wants to go to the phase space in person to participate in this experiment.
Only then did I realize that this conference room was actually in the Caimo Star Territory.
Chen Ming specifically asked Bian Gaoxuan if it was necessary to take this risk?
Bian Gaoxuan said that he only has a say in experiments that he has actually participated in.
Then Chen Ming had nothing to say.
Just follow the experiment process silently.
Soon, the experiment officially began.
The devices at both ends of the space station were activated, and a faint purple beam connected the two devices and the space station in the middle.
The purple beam gradually twisted into a coil shape and wrapped around the space station, just like the phase coil Chen Ming saw on the phase ship.
Suddenly, the purple beam coil straightened.
The entire space station disappeared into the normal universe at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, the light patterns that had just been tested in the Legion's Ship Research Institute a few days ago marked the location of the space station in the normal universe.
After confirming that the space station had entered the phase space, several phase ships led by Bian Gaoxuan immediately activated their phase coils and entered the phase space.
Chen Ming, on the other hand, had already arrived here with the space station.
From the perspective of his robot on the space station.
Those dimensional infected entities were immediately suppressed by the phase space after entering the sexual phase space. A phase force appeared on the space station out of thin air, destroying everything in the dimensional infected entities.
This one-sided attack made many entities go berserk, but they could only vent their anger on the space station.
However, the unique design of this experimental space station makes it impossible to completely destroy it and there is no way to escape.
These dimensional infected entities can only struggle madly and die in pain.
Although only the picture was transmitted to the conference room, the wailing sounds seemed to penetrate the picture and reach the ears of everyone in the conference room.
At this time, Chen Ming, who had a robot left in the space station, felt that he was in hell.
Because he actually heard the ghostly cries of those dimension-infected entities.
Not to mention the splattered flesh and blood from a lot of crazy dimensional infected entities killing each other.
But the good thing is this is hell for dimensional infected entities.
Although the scarlet dimensional rift in Chen Ming's consciousness space was also suppressed by this phase force, Chen Ming felt no pressure at all when looking at the dying dimensional infected entities around him.
It seems that this experiment is already half successful.
After these dimensional infected entities are dead, and then use the equipment of the Fanchao Research Institute to pull the space station out of the phase space again, this experiment will be considered successfully completed.
Hope there won't be any surprises.
While Chen Ming was thinking this.
Chen Ming suddenly noticed that the dimension-infected entities that had been frantically attacking the space station and killing each other like crazy suddenly seemed to have calmed down, and they all rushed towards the center of the space station uniformly.
He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that in addition to being very sturdy, this space station also had another feature, that is, there was almost no important equipment inside the space station.
Even if there is, it will be in the outer layer, definitely not in the core area.
So what do these entities do when they gather in the central area?
Chen Ming didn't understand, but he could ask the robot to follow him and take a look.
Just as he was doing this, he suddenly noticed that part of the monitoring screen in the conference room turned red and seemed to be covered in flesh and blood tissue.
For some reason, these small monitoring devices with their own weapons did not use weapons to clean the flesh, nor did they automatically avoid the spreading path of the flesh and blood tissue.
It even seems to have lost control and cannot be manipulated manually.
The surveillance in the core area has been covered by the entities rushing over.
On the space station, the combat robots originally hidden in every corner and deployed as a back-up by the Fanchao Research Institute also lost contact shortly after entering the core area after being activated.
Sure enough, the accident happened.
Chen Ming couldn't tell whether it was his crow's mouth. Although he didn't say it, he did think about it in his mind.
However, he did not dwell on this, but immediately controlled the robot on his phase ship in the phase space to find Bian Gaoxuan, and broadcast the picture of his robot walking towards the central area.
And asked Bian Gaoxuan to give him permission to transmit the robot's images to the conference room.
Bian Gaoxuan also felt that something was going to happen and did not refuse Chen Ming's kindness.
Chen Ming's robot soon entered the core area of the space station.
In front of a passage, he suddenly found a mountain of meat blocking the road and completely blocking the passage.
And this mountain of meat is drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not death, but withering away.
Its power is shifting to the centermost area of the space station.
Chen Ming didn't hold back at this time. He sent an afterglow core to the robot and directly controlled the entire space station.
The power of dimensional infection converges within it.
This concentrated scarlet power prevented Chen Ming's spiritual energy from observing, and he could not see the situation inside the shriveled meat mountain.
But from the familiar atmosphere inside, Chen Ming felt that this was the same as the situation of the recipient before he died.
They want to open a rift to the Scarlet Dimension.
The recipient used a similar method to open the rift to the scarlet dimension, but he died very quickly, so he could not completely open it.
This time, although these dimensional infected entities are trying in phase space, which is definitely much more difficult than in the normal universe, no one can stop this process.
The dimensional infection entities inside that were transformed by the remains of the victims are really about to open that rift.
At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly felt that the crack in his consciousness space was suddenly touched, as if something was attracting him at the center.
He wants to go in,
But his idea disappeared immediately
Because in his perception, something was also attracted to the things gathered by those dimensionally infected entities in the center of the meat mountain.
Something... is coming.
Deep within that mountain of flesh, at the moment when all dimensional infected entities died, a rift was torn open in phase space.
An eye filled with countless pupils appeared within the slit.
A burst of scarlet intruded into the purple of the phase space.
Where the scarlet color shines, everything has one and only one ending, destruction.
Chen Ming couldn't see the open slit, nor the eye full of pupils.
But he could see the scarlet light that had penetrated, saw that Roshan was being annihilated, and saw that the space station was being destroyed from the inside out by the scarlet power.
And this force is still expanding, and it won't be long before the space station is completely destroyed.
The experiment has failed.
They must evacuate.
And at this moment, a surge of phase power that came from nowhere suddenly seemed to converge here from the entire space, and a terrifying conflict broke out with the scarlet color.
Just the aftermath of a little conflict.
Chen Ming's crack felt unprecedented pressure.
Even now, he cannot resist this pressure for too long.
He could only actively suppress the scarlet cracks on his body and use mental power to isolate them to avoid being affected.
But in the Scarlet Rift, the power that had escaped from the Scarlet Dimension suddenly seemed to be aware of his existence, and the giant eye that existed in the Scarlet Dimension moved part of its pupils towards Chen Ming's location.
Although separated by the twisted flesh and blood wrapped in the cracks and countless walls of the space station, Chen Ming also saw that eye at this moment.
This situation made Chen Ming couldn't help but curse: "Fuck you."
