Chapter 336 Inspection
Chen Ming's consciousness left the consciousness space again and returned to the robot in the phase space.
This robot also survived when Chen Ming used a metal canopy to block the scarlet light. Not far in front of him was the wreckage of the space station that looked even more damaged after the scarlet light illuminated it.
And some distance away from the wreckage of the space station, the spacecraft illuminated by scarlet light is still there.
Chen Ming is preparing to go to the space station and spacecraft.
But he suddenly remembered something again, and immediately connected to the robot on the phase ship that had disconnected just after he concentrated his consciousness.
At this time, the phase ship has been taken out of the phase space by the president's spiritual energy. It is in the normal universe, not far from the position before the phase ship entered the phase space.
Next to it is the area of the space station where the light pattern system is destroyed and cannot be observed in the phase space.
As well as the facilities prepared by the Fanchao Research Institute to pull the space station out of hyperspace.
However, the facility was not activated at this time.
Because no one except Chen Ming is sure whether pulling the space station back from the phase space will lead to some bad consequences. No one dares to activate the facilities until the situation is clear.
At this time, on those phase ships, Bian Gaoxuan was recording something in the console of the spacecraft.
When he found that Chen Ming's robot parked next to him started to move again, he said excitedly: "Director Chen, great, you're okay."
"The last time I saw you blocked all those scarlet lights, I thought...it was fine."
Chen Ming explained: "It's just that my consciousness was slightly impacted and the connection between me and the robot was disconnected. It didn't have much impact."
"That's good, that's good."
Bian Gaoxuan said this, but he didn't feel that Chen Ming was telling the truth.
Was that really just a little shock?
He saw with his own eyes the entire space station being destroyed by those beams of light.
And judging from the final results provided by the detection instruments on the spacecraft, those beams not only have physical destructive power, but also definitely have a bad impact on the spirit.
If the metal canopy hadn't blocked those beams, all of them would have died there.
Experimenting on dead people is common, even in their Fanchao Research Institute.
It is impossible to say that any experiment related to psychic energy is absolutely safe. No matter how well the protection work is done, if there is an accident, you will still die.
Not to mention experiments related to dimensional infection, which will only be more dangerous.
So he didn't think it was a simple matter for Chen Ming to use the metal canopy to block the light.
But when Chen Ming said this, of course he would not refute him face to face.
Anyway, Chen Ming saved him in this failed and somewhat rash experiment.
Chen Ming doesn't need to mention it, but as a rescued person, he must repay.
However, Chen Ming didn't care too much about Bian Gaoxuan's thoughts. He came here for other things.
"Do you still have the last video before the spacecraft evacuated and the last video before the space station was destroyed?"
"Yes, but I ordered it to be sealed. No one has seen it."
"That's good."
Chen Ming was also a little relieved. What he was worried about now was that the video was watched by others, and the influence of the scarlet dimension was further spread through the video.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
It seems that Bian Gaoxuan is not vigilant when facing dimensional infection.
After all, when the empire first faced a dimensional infection, the infected organ was the eyeball, and the dimensional infection of the eyeball can be transmitted through vision.
So of course it is appropriate to remain vigilant when faced with visual recording devices such as video.
However, Chen Ming was afraid that other people besides Bian Gaoxuan would not understand, so he explained: "I suspect that the power of that dimension has the ability to spread through video, so I need to confirm where the video file is."
Bian Gaoxuan immediately sent a document prepared in advance to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming also immediately opened the file and took a look at it himself.
Then he discovered something that surprised him.
There's not much to see in the footage from the spacecraft. There's nothing there except some scarlet light that doesn't shine directly on the spacecraft.
The content in the video before the space station was destroyed is somewhat interesting.
Several surveillance cameras on the space station took pictures of the expanding cracks before they were destroyed, and also took pictures of the eye with multiple pupils, and sent them to the spacecraft and saved them.
But the content in this video is distorted.
The eyes in the slit seemed to be blocked by a thick filter.
If Chen Ming hadn't seen the crack with his own eyes before, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell that the thing in the crack under the filter was the eye.
The video is no longer valid after being saved.
But distortion failure also has benefits.
There is nothing wrong with this video and it does not spread any dimensional infection.
This situation is different from the previous situation when Chen Ming controlled the space station and observed the cracks in real time through the space station's monitoring. The scarlet dimension could spread its power through monitoring.
I don’t know whether this video was interfered by the power of the scarlet dimension itself or the power of the phase space.
But at least one thing that is certain now is that only by direct observation when the crack appears or indirect observation through certain equipment can the power of the scarlet dimension be observed and affected by the power of the dimension.
"It's okay. There will be no problem with the video file. Just watch it."
"However, the video should be distorted due to the influence of psychic energy. If you want to try to restore it, you must be careful."
Chen Ming had no way to guarantee that if the video could be restored by technical means, it would bring back the power of the scarlet dimension.
Bian Gaoxuan responded solemnly: "I understand."
"This experiment can't be considered a complete failure. It at least proved the conflict between the scarlet dimension and phase space."
"So what's the situation in the phase space now?"
Chen Ming responded: "I'm about to go see it."
He didn't hide it and relayed the robot's picture to Bian Gaoxuan.
But he made some delays to prevent anyone from seeing something they shouldn't.
The broken wreckage of the space station immediately appeared in Bian Gaoxuan's eyes.
Looking at the space station that was falling apart from the inside, he said smoothly while recording: "It seems that some kind of power broke out from the inside, and then something broke out and conflicted here."
"Yes, the power of the dimension infected by the dimension and the power of the phase space clash here."
Seeing that Chen Ming clearly understood the whole process, Bian Gaoxuan immediately asked Chen Ming: "Director Chen, can you tell me in detail what happened here?"
"The dimensional infected entities gathered together when they were about to die after being suppressed by the phase space. When they ran together to the center of the space station, they created a rift leading to the scarlet dimension. It should be regarded as a space rift."< br>
"A space rift?"
"Yes, it is different from the dimensional infection we have seen. The dimensional infection is that dimension slowly seeping in. This rift really opens a rift leading to the scarlet dimension."
"You can enter the scarlet dimension directly through that rift."
Bian Gaoxuan's expression became nervous subconsciously. Apparently he thought about the possible consequences of opening a space rift connecting the two worlds.
"Don't worry."
Chen Ming reassured: "The opening of the rift is in the phase space and will not affect the normal universe. Otherwise, how could I still be talking to you calmly now? I would have asked someone for help a long time ago."
Bian Gaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"After the crack appeared, a huge eye with multiple pupils appeared in the crack. It was suspected to be a creature that existed in the scarlet dimension itself."
"The light I blocked with my spiritual energy was emanating from that eye."
"But it's not all blocked. There's another ship... wait, that ship..."
Chen Ming hadn't noticed it before, but now he came to his senses and suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the ship.
Bian Gaoxuan also explained: "There were all death row prisoners on that ship, and they were originally meant to be left in phase space for experiments."
That's okay.
Chen Ming originally thought that the president had made a mistake or was worried that the ship was on the edge of his psychic protection and had been illuminated by scarlet light, so he was not prepared to take it away.
But looking at it now, it means I didn’t take it away on purpose.
If the prisoner dies, he dies, it's not a big problem.
"Anyway"
After finishing speaking, he took a rough look at the wreckage of the space station through the robot's vision
Chen Ming controlled the robot and came to the spacecraft floating quietly in hyperspace.
Open the hatch from the outside
Tear open the withered and decaying flesh and blood tissue covering the cabin
What came into view were the corpses of several dimensionally infected entities that were also dead.
Chen Ming stepped forward to confirm. After confirming that the entities had completely lost their activity, he pulled out a data cable from the robot, connected it to the spacecraft's control system, and read the video.
Judging from the content of the video, just after Chen Ming's canopy blocked the scarlet beam, the president's psychic energy took away the rest of the spacecraft.
The only prisoners left here were restrained in their respective positions.
They don't know what's going on.
But they soon saw the beam of light penetrating through the sky and shining on the spacecraft.
These beams do not directly destroy everything around them at close range like the space station.
Instead, it penetrated the outer armor and hull of the spacecraft, completely illuminating every inch of the interior of the spacecraft.
The death row prisoners had no time to react. They all lost their stable consciousness and fell into madness the moment they came into contact with those light beams.
The nature of scarlet light is the same as that of things existing in the scarlet dimension, filling every cell of these prisoners with seemingly endless knowledge.
Each cell seems to have its own consciousness and its own thoughts.
Distortion occurs as a matter of course.
Dimensional infection entities appeared on the spacecraft, and each one was a brand new entity.
"It's... terrible. Is this a new dimensional infection?"
"It can be counted."
Chen Ming agreed with Bian Gaoxuan's idea and said: "It can even be counted as several dimensional infections, but this is in the phase space." "The phase space is very special. It seems to have a unique consciousness that covers the entire dimension. Protect yourself and eliminate the invading dimensional forces.”
"So these entities didn't survive and definitely won't survive."
"I see, then why doesn't our universe have such dimensional consciousness to protect us?"
"Who knows."
While Chen Ming and Bian Gaoxuan were watching what was happening in the phase space.
Chen Ming also reconnected the prosthesis at the legion headquarters, allowing the prosthesis to move again.
Of course, Chen Ming's holographic projection in the conference room also became active.
The noisy discussion in the conference room and the president's voice reached Chen Ming's ears at the same time: "I thought you were asleep."
"It's just that my attention is entirely on the robot in the phase space and I don't dare to be distracted."
"What exactly happened? I just heard you say you were helping to get people and you stopped moving. I can only sense that there was a conflict between two very powerful forces over there."
Chen Ming thought for a while, and after asking Bian Gaoxuan where he was, he walked directly to the main seat and picked up the microphone.
Amidst the sharp sound of the microphone sound check, the conference room fell silent.
A projection screen next to the conference room lit up immediately, and the space station and phase spacecraft video files were played on the projection screen.
Chen Ming also immediately explained to the people on the battlefield what had just happened.
He roughly explained the original experimental process and the accidents that occurred during the process, and explained the existence of the "crack" and the scarlet light emitted by the crack.
At the end of his explanation, he released the sky curtain to block the scarlet light.
Chen Ming couldn't help but used the terminal to secretly send a message to the president: "President, your time to recruit people is too slow, and Bian Gaoxuan's spaceship was almost destroyed together."
The president also looked a little helpless and sent a message to Chen Ming: "There are two extremely powerful forces in conflict in the phase space. The aftermath of the conflict prevents my spiritual energy from affecting it."
"I was in a hurry too, but it wasn't until you used your psychic powers to create a curtain to block the aftermath of the conflict for a moment that I could penetrate with my psychic powers and take the person away."
That’s okay too.
Chen Ming didn't even dare to look directly at the conflict of power between the two dimensions. His huge mental power had been exhausted and he was unable to intervene.
It is normal for the president's psychic power to be unable to intervene across space.
That is, it was not until Chen Ming used the metallic liquid composed of the silent alloy he had obtained to block it for a moment that the president could take the person away through the aftermath of the conflict between the two spaces.
Wait, having said that, Chen Ming remembered that in the past, the people on the phase ship seemed to be wearing protective suits mixed with silent alloy.
But the president used his psychic powers to recruit people.
"President, can your psychic power ignore Silent Alloy?"
"I can't be like you."
The president immediately denied Chen Ming's speculation and said: "It's just that if the silent alloy exists with other things, I can fish out the silent alloy through other things."
"But my psychic energy cannot directly act on Silent Alloy. Even the sealed environment made of Silent Alloy can isolate the impact of my psychic energy."
"It's like picking up a hedgehog"
"You can't touch places that are full of thorns. But it doesn't matter where there are no thorns."
"As long as they can find a place without thorns, people can build hedgehogs, so my psychic energy can still work through indirect effects."
The principle behind the president's ability to take away people wearing silent alloy protective suits is completely different from Chen Ming's ability to directly ignore the silent alloy.
Otherwise, the president wouldn't have been so shocked when he saw Chen Ming sending a piece of silence alloy with his spiritual power.
Chen Ming was communicating with the president.
At the same time, he also roughly explained to all participants in the conference room what happened in the experiment in phase space.
Just when Chen Ming finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Bian Gaoxuan had already used Chen Ming's help to confirm that there was no longer anything related to the scarlet dimension in the phase space, and then brought the wreckage of the space station and the remaining spacecraft back to the normal universe through the facility.
At least the device for sending objects into and out of phase space is fine, which is good news.
The wreckage and spacecraft can be studied later, but now...
Bian Gaoxuan came to Chen Ming's side and said to the other people in the conference room: "The experiment failed, but we can learn from it and prepare for the next experiment. Let's do this for today."
"The experimental report will be compiled soon. I will send it to you then. If there are any questions, we can discuss it later."
After the conference room was noisy for a while, the holographic projections gradually disappeared one by one.
Only the people sent by the empire's high-level officials stood up and came to Bian Gaoxuan and said to him: "This experiment is a bit too aggressive. You need to start from scratch and do it step by step. Don't rush in just after you understand the principles of a project." With large-scale experiments in the past.”
"Be careful next time. Today's situation must not happen again."
As a person from the Fanchao Research Institute, Bian Gaoxuan didn't mind what the people in the empire preached to him. This was not what the person in front of him wanted to say, but what the real high-level officials in the empire asked him to convey.
He nodded and agreed one by one, and said that he would report to the research institute later and reorganize the experimental process.
It can be seen that the Fanchao Research Institute and the empire are highly bound.
The empire has the authority to issue orders to Fanchao Research Institute.
After the man from the empire finished talking to Bian Gaoxuan, he suddenly turned to Chen Ming and said: "You... you are doing a good job. Keep working hard. The empire has been paying attention to you."
After all, Chen Ming saved the people who participated in the experiment, and he deserved to be praised.
Moreover, the empire's attitude could also be seen from the fact that the empire specially came to invite him during the last engagement banquet.
So Chen Ming nodded kindly and said nothing else.
The people in the empire didn't mind Chen Ming's slightly cold attitude, and the holographic projection disappeared in front of the two of them.
Bian Gaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief after the people from the empire left. Just as he was about to say something more to Chen Ming, his terminal suddenly lit up.
He lowered his head and said to Chen Ming: "Our research institute is collecting the name of the dimension infected by the dimension."
"Oh, you're just asking me, right?"
"Uh...yeah."
Although he is the person in charge of the interaction experiment between the scarlet dimension and phase space, other people are actually responsible for the research on the scarlet dimension at the Fanchao Research Institute.
It's just that Bian Gaoxuan happened to have studied phase technology, and was later transferred to the dimensional infection research department. He had experience in both directions, and he was doing well in both.
So after Chen Ming discovered that the two dimensions had an impact on each other, he took the initiative and took on the project.
But he is indeed not qualified enough to name that dimension.
Only Chen Ming, the only person who has been exposed to the source dimension of the dimensional infection many times without any impact, and who is still conducting in-depth research on that dimension, has this authority.
Of course, the president could also name it before, but the president never gave it a formal name because he thought he did not have enough understanding of this dimension.
When doing research or communicating with Chen Ming, I always use that dimension as a proxy.
It seems that the president has negotiated with the Fanchao Research Institute and decided to officially name the dimension where the dimensional infection originated today.
Today is indeed a special day.
Humanity's research on the scarlet dimension and phase space suffered a serious failure, which is worth remembering.
"Then just call it Scarlet Dimension."
"Okay."
Although Bian Gaoxuan felt that Chen Ming was a bit casual, he still sent the name back.
After speaking a few more words to people through the terminal, Bian Gaoxuan put down the terminal again, as if to Chen Ming and to himself: "This experiment is really dangerous."
"But we will never give up on subsequent experiments. This is the power we must fight against after enduring the sequelae of two dimensional infections."
“Very good.”
Chen Ming responded smoothly: "The sequelae of dimensional infection may last for twenty years. As long as we can get results within ten years and shorten the remaining time, it will be worth it."
Judging from the scale of today's meeting, this matter will definitely be taken seriously in the future.
Chen Ming doesn't have to worry too much for the time being. There will definitely be a lot of people and resources invested in it.
He will then sit back and enjoy his success.
It just takes some effort to study.
Chen Ming's holographic projection also disappeared into the conference room.
But his exchange with the president was not over yet.
At this time, the president asked Chen Ming another question.
"What other details can we talk about in this experiment?"
Chen Ming had not thought about this issue, but in his opinion, the gap was the only place where we could talk more.
An Wuping had actually triggered a rift practice a long time ago, but because the person who experienced it was actually Chen Ming himself, it was impossible for him to tell the matter through An Wuping's mouth.
But now that the rift has appeared again, Chen Ming still needs to make it clear.
This kind of thing that will lead to the connection between the normal universe and the scarlet dimension must be extremely vigilant.
If dimensional infection occurs again in the normal universe, we must be fully prepared.
Speaking of which, Chen Ming thought of something.
In fact, the appearance of the two rifts was related to him, and the opening of the two rifts did not occur in the normal universe.
One event occurred in Chen Ming's consciousness space, and ended with the death of the recipient, leaving a gap in Chen Ming's consciousness space.
The second time it happened in the phase space, the result was that the phase space cleared out the intruders, sealed the cracks, and even reinforced the cracks left in Chen Ming's consciousness space when the last crack appeared.
But it stands to reason that when the dimensional infection occurred in the past, those dimensional infected entities could have gathered together to form rifts and opened them.
As long as the rift is opened, there will be almost no suitable response plan with the technology and capabilities currently possessed by humans to deal with the scarlet dimension.
Even during the first dimensional infection, the dimensional infection had infected the entire galaxy. Why didn't the rift open?
The second dimensional infection, that is, the dimensional infection on the Yuhui side is smaller than this time, but from the current perspective, it is enough to open the rift.
Why didn't they do that?
Is it a coincidence, or is there some other reason?
Chen Ming wasn't sure, but he'd better explain it to the president anyway.
