Chapter 351 Senseless Attack
"Where is the specific location? How many attacking fleets are there?"
Bai Quan reported the coordinates to Chen Ming, and then said: "Basically, based on the preliminary data returned there, there is a mothership equipped with two energy ridge gun heads and one soul killer."
"Cooperate with thousands of cruisers, about 3,000 destroyers, and about 2,000 frigates."
When Chen Ming heard about the psychic spine weapon, he immediately recalled the large-scale simulated battlefield he first participated in.
His opponents used the machine race's mothership to attack his hometown from behind, killing all his teammates and destroying several planets.
The machine race mothership at that time used the psychic spine weapon, the Soul Killer.
It can unleash psychic pulses that drive all living things across the planet into madness.
Even in the simulation, it was a miserable situation. If something like that happened in reality...
Chen Ming subconsciously glanced at Bai Quan's expression and found that he was not too anxious or nervous. It seemed that something bad like that wouldn't happen.
He relaxed a little, but after hearing the overall number of fleets, he couldn't help but said: "Is that all..."
"That's it?"
Bai Quan raised his voice and asked with questions on his head: "Why do I feel that you have some misunderstanding about military power? That is a battleship, with thousands of cruisers. Think about the time when we rescued you from Yuhui. What scale of battle was it?”
After saying that, Bai Quan suddenly seemed to realize something and stared at Chen Ming carefully for a few times.
"..."
Chen Ming recalled carefully in silence. Although the rescue operation failed due to various reasons, the scale of the fight with Yu Hui was indeed not small.
Several main ships and a fleet numbering tens of thousands were beaten to a bloody head in the Afterglow Star Region.
It can only be said that this may be an illusion given to him by the fact that he controlled hundreds of thousands of mechanical cruisers at will a few days ago, and that he will be able to control more in the next two days.
"How is the situation now?"
"Don't expect too much from the galaxies in the edge star field. Their defense force can only delay the mothership at best. However, our fleet has already set sail, and a team of psykers has already passed by. If everything goes well, we will be here soon. There will be results.”
Hearing this, Chen Ming suddenly had several questions in his mind: "The location of the mechanical tribe's attack is not far from us, so aren't they sending this mothership here to send it?"
"And is the team of psykers you mentioned the same one you mentioned before? What powers does that psyker have?"
Bai Quan answered Chen Ming's questions one by one: "Who knows what the machine clan is thinking. There is no decent resistance on the front line. It was only now that there was the first counterattack. As a result, in this position, I always It feels like they have some other arrangements.”
"As for the psyker team, they are indeed made according to the standards of the empire. They are just our own members of the legion. The psionic power is to control electrical signals."
"Oh? I feel like this is a psychic power that is specially designed to restrain the mechanical race."
"Yes."
Bai Quan nodded and said: "It's a very interesting psychic power. It's one of the few psychic powers that relies on artificially created technology like yours, and there's another very coincidental thing."
"What happened?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Bai Quan said all the way as he brought Chen Ming to the center of the command center, next to Qiu Bowen, where the deputy to the commander-in-chief was seated.
In addition to the position of the commander-in-chief, there are only two positions for deputy commanders here, one for Baiquan and the other for another lieutenant general who is not here now.
However, there is one more unknown person here this time, and it is obviously assigned to Chen Ming.
You can see that the central console in front of Qiu Bowen next to him has five light screens of different sizes, displaying various extremely complex data.
Chen Ming started learning command techniques a long time ago, and by now he can probably understand the content on these screens.
The light screen in the middle of the five screens shows the star system Baiquan said the machine clan will attack and the star map of the nearby area. You can intuitively see the fleet being dispatched there.
And not only are there various symbolic data representing different meanings moving on it, but more and more new data are being added.
The data from the front line is being transmitted back, and new data is constantly being updated.
As for the two screens on the left, one is a complete star map of the area bordering the empire and the machine race.
Through this screen, it can be seen that the empire has pushed the battle line into the interior of the mechanical race star field, creating an obvious concave shape.
The location where the mechanical clan attacked the empire this time was on the edge of this concave shape.
On the other screen is the star map of the Beniu star field, as well as some data reported from the branch of Beniu.
After all, Beniu can now be regarded as the de facto control star area of the Fourteenth Legion, and it is also the fleet station area before the war completely breaks out.
It is also an extremely important logistics base for the frontline military headquarters. Of course, it must always maintain contact and attention.
One of the two display screens on the right is a summary of battle reports sent back in real time by the headquarters in the galaxy invaded by the mechanical race.
The other is all the overall information about the war sent by all the people in the entire command center who are in contact with the commander-in-chief.
Through the collection of this information, the people in the command center can make decisions.
The five screens add up to a dizzying array of views.
Thanks to Chen Ming being a psychic, his strong mental power also made his consciousness strong, and he could easily distinguish the contents of different screens.
But if you are an ordinary person, the amount of energy required to learn these is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Chen Ming glanced at Bai Quan, and then withdrew his gaze.
Since the situation on the front line is changeable, the rear headquarters only needs to issue general orders, and subsequent follow-up depends on the performance of the front line.
But just when Chen Ming thought there was nothing to do here at the headquarters, he could be busy with his own business.
A wave of psychic energy suddenly appeared out of thin air in the command center.
A layer of light curtain covered with psychic energy fluctuations suddenly condensed on the side of the console.
It's the telepathic psyker.
Although electrical signals should normally only remain in the lines, due to the existence of psychic energy, it is not impossible to spread them out of thin air.
It is not surprising that the electrical signal is then converted into other forms of signals, such as the current optical signal, and sent back to the command center for Chen Ming.
Anyway, it is to use psychic energy to achieve the same effect as Chen Ming to transmit back things recorded by devices controlled by him in other places.
Normally this ability is useless.
But in times of war, on battlefields where communication equipment is limited, this capability is even more useful.
Chaotic light signals gradually spread out in the air, projecting a complete picture in front of Chen Ming and the others.
A person appears in the picture, and he is in a spaceship in the background.
Through the porthole at the rear of the screen, you can see the starry sky outside and the battlefield where fire is taking place.
Through the starry sky positioning, Chen Ming can determine that the current location of this psyker is within the galaxy where the mechanical race is raiding.
As for the battlefield outside, it should be the galaxy's own patrol fleet that chose to dispatch in advance in order to prevent the soul-slayers of the mechanical race mothership from hitting the planet and causing irreversible consequences.
Do not rely on the defense weapons of the space station outside the planet to fight and block the mothership from the range.
It can be said that they are using their lives to delay the advancement of the mother ship.
Chen Ming immediately glanced at the screen in front of Qiu Boxen.
It can be seen that a fleet led by the offensive class departing from Gallo has arrived at the galaxy attacked by the mechanical race.
Fortunately, the reinforcement fleet from Gallo arrived in time, and it was impossible for the mechanical race to endanger the planet within a short time of the mothership confrontation.
All that's left is to see who wins the battle between the two fleets.
Looking away from the porthole and screen composed of electrical signals, Chen Ming immediately noticed the appearance of the psyker who sent the signal back.
"Oh, it's him."
This face was something Chen Ming had seen before.
In 2, it was the first official cooperation between Chen Ming and Bai Quan.
At that time, Chen Ming provided Bai Quan with the coordinates of a new star ship under construction and asked Bai Quan to attack it and help him attract Yu Hui's attention.
At that time, Baiquan came with two battleships, and the first wave of offensive only killed one afterglow battleship.
But it failed to kill Nova in the giant shipyard next to it.
So he came up with a plan to send a special operations team to infiltrate.
This plan is crazy and seeking death.
But finally succeeded with the help of Chen Ming.
The psyker in front of him was the one who had the most interactions with Chen Ming, the team member responsible for tasks related to electronic technology.
Chen Ming remembered that he was still an ordinary person at that time, but now, he has become a psychic.
His name seems to be... Lu Bai.
Just when Chen Ming saw Lu Bai, Lu Bai also saw several people in the command center while receiving the electrical signal from the command center in reverse.
He was a little stunned for the first time, and suddenly said to Chen Ming very excitedly: "Mr. Chen!"
Qiu Boyen's expression subconsciously twitched, because the Lu Bai in front of him was obviously from the army, but when the signal was connected, he did not talk to him, the general, the current commander-in-chief of the front line, but to Chen Ming. say.
But he didn't want to say anything. He didn't want to conflict with Chen Ming now.
It was impossible for Chen Ming to take the initiative to offend Qiu Bowen at this time and said: "Long time no see, Lu Bai, let's do business first."
After hearing Chen Ming say his name, Lu Bai became even more excited and responded: "Yes!"
Lu Bai didn't say much. After stabilizing the signal exchange, he continued to perform his mission.
As Lu Bai's ship moved, Chen Ming noticed through the ship's porthole that his ship was currently outside the ecliptic plane of the galaxy, trying to approach the mechanical race's mothership from a strange angle.
Chen Ming asked Bai Quan in a low voice: "Are you trying to cut off the electrical signal transmission of the mothership?"
"Yes."
"Lu Bai's spiritual energy intensity is only level three, and his connection with the command center is achieved through a device. But if he wants to use his spiritual energy, he can only find a way to get close to the mothership."
< br>
"He can use psychic energy to block all signals emitted by his spacecraft, achieving an effect close to invisibility."
"Then relying on the past fleet and the internal defense forces of the system to attract firepower, there is a high success rate of lurking in the past."
Chen Ming said: "This is too dangerous. If it fails, the legion will lose such a psyker."
"It is dangerous, and the loss may be great, but now there is no chance or time for him to grow."
"What kind of dangers you face will bring you rewards when you succeed." "Don't forget what mission he performed when he met you before. For him now, this mission is even worse than that one." It’s easier to do it all at once”
"Same."
Chen Ming didn't say much, everyone must be responsible for themselves.
Everyone in the legion is a war maniac, the kind who are not afraid of death in order to win. There is no need for him to say anything.
Just watching silently, Lu Bai relied on his spiritual energy to disguise the spacecraft he was riding in, and approached the machine race's mothership step by step.
After getting close enough.
Lu Bai's spaceship stopped. After communicating with the captain of the offensive-class ship in the system, he activated his psychic powers.
It also acts on the mothership's shield system, engine system and weapon system.
Although Lu Bai is only a third-level psychic, his psychic effects are not particularly strong.
But when facing a top-notch, high-precision spacecraft like the mothership of the mechanical race, a slight signal error may cause problems with important equipment.
The mothership's shield began to flicker, and the effect of the attached shield immediately dissipated.
The amplification matrix part of the cannon body close to the nose of the three spine cannons also malfunctioned. All the energy acting on the spine cannons was poured into the air and wasted.
But its engine suddenly lost its temperature detection capability. It was obvious that the temperature at the engine had exceeded the normal temperature, but the mothership's engine still showed no signs of slowing down its output efficiency. This eventually led to the meltdown of the engine circuit and the engine nozzle on the side of the spacecraft. Unable to stop, the spacecraft began to spin in place.
Although psychic energy is very weak, the effect will be infinitely amplified as long as it is used in the right place.
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.
Lu Bai is now an ant digging out an ant nest on the dam of the Machine Clan's mothership.
However, he was not overwhelmed by the wave that broke the dike, but successfully retreated while achieving his goal.
Only the mothership that suddenly suffered a serious malfunction during a high-intensity battle with the empire's capital ships was left.
Victory in the first battle.
This was the first battle between the empire and the machine race involving capital ships, and the empire ended in victory.
The mechanical clan's surprise attack was defeated soon after.
Not a single mechanical spacecraft chose to retreat, and all were wiped out within the galaxy.
The mothership was also sunk, and soon a special salvage ship will take away the wreckage of the mothership for research.
Qiu Bowen suddenly seemed to feel more relaxed. He turned off the two screens and motioned for Bai Quan to take over.
When Qiu Bowen turned his head, Chen Ming noticed a pair of thick dark circles on his face.
Qiu Bowen did come a few days earlier and took over the work on the front line in advance.
But he is a level 6 psyker.
Isn’t this a bit too much pressure?
Chen Ming glanced at Bai Quan, an ordinary person, with some concern.
But Bai Quan said nothing. After handing over the work to Qiu Bowen, he told Chen Ming to do whatever he wanted to do.
Chen Ming has nothing to say, and Bai Quan must know it.
He left the command center after reminding the Machine Tribe that there might be other actions in the future, and went to his dome on the planet, the stronghold of the Transcendent Research Institute.
Before his last trip, Chen Ming assigned the people at the institute the task of testing the effectiveness of the catalyst produced by the catalytic core.
Until Chen Ming came back now, almost everyone was still conducting tests.
Everyone is excited because the effect of the catalyst produced by the catalytic core is almost omnipotent.
As long as the effect is imaginable, the catalytic core can produce it, it's just a question of how much.
It can catalyze almost everything in the world and increase the efficiency of all actions.
Of course, such a powerful effect also has its negative aspects.
That's the raw material.
Catalysts require raw materials to produce.
These raw materials are all real losses, and some are very difficult to find.
And all catalysts created will eventually be annihilated naturally, which is equivalent to the fact that the entire world's materials will completely disappear when used, instead of entering the reincarnation of materials.
Although it sounds serious, it is not a big problem, because Chen Ming knows that some psychics can use psychic energy to create matter out of thin air in the real world. If there is loss, it can bring balance to the world.
Of course, this is actually nonsense. No one cares about the loss of those materials anyway.
After Chen Ming returned to the laboratory, he continued to ask people to test and research.
And he himself returned his consciousness to his original body.
At this time, two days had passed since the phase beast entered that dangerous location.
Chen Ming actually tried to call yesterday, but did not wait for a response.
He will try again today. If there is still no response, he will have to find a way to try to enter
Once again, at the edge of the mechanical race's star field, a robot was sent there using the scarlet dimension on a habitable planet.
After waiting for about an hour, Chen Ming's heart began to sink to the bottom.
A wave of transition suddenly appeared above the planet.
The phase beast once again appeared in front of Chen Ming.
More wounds appeared on its body again, and there was even some purple blood flowing out of the wounds, gradually turning into nothingness in the medium of phase space.
Chen Ming could tell with his naked eyes that the phase beast was in very poor condition and its injuries were extremely serious.
But it still held a piece of scarlet meat that was larger than the previous two times combined, and placed it in front of Chen Ming's robot.
Chen Ming knew that the phase beast's food was scarlet meat, and he also knew that the phase beast could recover by eating scarlet meat.
He immediately transformed the robot, increasing its size to a level that could rival the phase beast.
The robot grabbed the piece of scarlet meat and tried to stuff it into the mouth of the phase beast.
But the powerless phase beast suddenly began to struggle desperately again. It resisted eating and wanted to give the food to Chen Ming.
And as the phase beast struggled, more blood gradually overflowed from its body.
Chen Ming finally had no choice but to give up giving flesh and blood to the phase beast.
It has no choice but to use the last resort.
Chen Ming took out the terminal and made a call.
"Boss."
"I'm ready here, anytime."
The boss responded decisively to Chen Ming.
But Chen Ming became a little nervous at this time.
Because the transmission of the scarlet dimension requires the creatures passing through the scarlet dimension to shield all their senses to avoid the collapse of consciousness caused by the knowledge of the scarlet dimension.
For ordinary people, ordinary creatures, and even low-level psykers, Chen Ming's psychic energy can directly cover their consciousness and prevent them from being harmed.
But for the boss, Chen Ming's psychic power cannot cover the boss's consciousness, so the boss has to shield himself from all external perception methods.
And there is another very important situation.
That is, the person teleported by Chen Ming accepts the influence of Chen Ming's spiritual energy.
Chen Ming allowed Chen Ming to bring the person to the scarlet dimension, and then used the unequal relationship between time and space between the scarlet dimension and the normal universe to pull the person out instantly.
Although it only took a moment, Chen Ming had never teleported a powerful psychic before, so he was not sure if there would be any surprises.
And he can actually manipulate this process.
Sending people into the scarlet dimension without pulling them out is basically equivalent to directly giving them a death sentence.
Therefore, allowing Chen Ming to teleport through spiritual energy is equivalent to putting his life in Chen Ming's hands.
And although the boss has been helping the president with all aspects of work related to dimensional infection.
But his dislike for the scarlet dimension is very clear, and he doesn’t want to be contaminated in the slightest,
But when Chen Ming asked him for something, he knew that he needed to go through the scarlet dimension, so he agreed without much thought.
Even if Chen Ming told all the problems, the boss did not choose to refuse.
The boss's trust makes Chen Ming a little stressed now.
However, he quickly calmed down and reached out to touch the boss with the robot left on his side.
Psychic stimulation.
The next moment, the boss appeared in the phase space where Chen Ming's robot was, safe and sound.
The boss opened his eyes and smiled at Chen Ming's robot.
Then he looked around, at the sky, and then at the phase beast next to him.
He took one last look at the watch on his wrist that had lost its signal and said, "It's interesting."
There was no new movement after the phase beast noticed a strange person appearing next to Chen Ming's robot.
Because the boss was teleported here by Chen Ming using the power of the scarlet dimension.
Moreover, it is already too tiring.
This time, the phase beast was not as repulsed by the thick tentacle-like nerves as before.
Of course, it may also be that you are so tired and painful that you are unable to reject it.
Let the boss grab Chen Ming's robot's arm and reach out to touch its body.
A moment.
Chen Ming's consciousness was pulled by the power of his boss and wanted to leave his body.
Chen Ming did not resist this force, and his boss still took part of his consciousness out of the robot's body and entered an unknown place.
