Chapter 357 The Other Side
The arrival of the Destroyer, or its arrival in this way, was not beyond Chen Ming's expectations.
Because the existence of hyperspace is dependent on the normal universe, there is nothing related to the normal universe except the gravitational field of massive celestial bodies.
The phase space, which corresponds one-to-one to the normal universe, can almost be called a mirror image, and naturally also "mirrors" the hyperspace.
Therefore, things in phase space can also enter hyperspace, or they can use the particularity of hyperspace itself to move in phase space at a higher speed than the normal universe.
This is a result that the Empire has already researched in phase technology-related research.
It is not important for phase beasts, creatures that can use their own power to jump directly, and they do not have the ability to contact hyperspace.
But for the mechanical race, the hyperspace in the phase space is still of great significance.
Just like now.
Without a deep enough understanding of phase technology, the Destroyer had only one choice when he discovered that the interior of the stargate galaxy was disrupted by transition fluctuations and could not make subsequent transitions.
Jump to the nearest stargate system and reach here through the stargate.
And after mastering certain phase technology.
The Destroyer can then jump to the nearest accessible place from the stargate system that Chen Ming invaded, then enter hyperspace and do what it needs to do in the phase space of hyperspace where it is completely impossible to be ambushed.
The Destroyer, which was supposed to take at least half an hour to arrive, returned to the stargate galaxy that Chen Ming invaded in just over ten minutes.
The power of the mechanical race within the galaxy has once again been enhanced.
Chen Ming knew that there were currently twelve motherships in the mechanical clan.
At this time, there were nine ships in the Stargate Galaxy.
This combined combat power was enough to completely destroy Chen Ming's fleet.
But it's not a big problem, his goal has been achieved.
Because just before the Destroyer arrived, a Zerg biological fighter plane carried by a cruiser had already contacted the star gate.
Although it was killed the moment it came into contact, and although the counterattack of the mechanical tribe also pushed the Zerg back again, its flesh and blood had been sprayed on the star gate.
As long as Chen Ming wanted to, this raid could end with the main purpose achieved.
But he didn't want to.
He didn't want to reveal his true abilities so quickly, nor did he want to retreat before he could achieve his full purpose.
He also wanted to use the cognitive bias of the mechanical race to create a better opportunity to achieve greater results.
Therefore, Chen Ming wanted to continue to pave the way.
The way to pave the way is to send his body here.
The true essence.
Just like the boss asked before, Chen Ming's current identity is no longer important.
All that really matters is his consciousness.
He can completely abandon his true body and create a new, more perfect body.
But rather than throwing away the body casually, it is better to use it to do something valuable.
Just like Chen Ming thought when the war with the mechanical tribe began.
He wants to use his body to create a situation that will make the machine race try their best, so he will continue to deepen the idea among the machine race that only his body can control certain things.
The question now is, how can he pass the ontology in a reasonable way?
As soon as Chen Minggang thought about this issue, he realized that he didn't actually need to think about it.
He can just get something fancy.
The mechanical people don't need to know what this process is all about.
It was enough for him to let the machine race see the result, that Chen Ming had arrived at the Stargate Galaxy where the jump engine was currently blocked.
The method is also very simple, which is to use spiritual energy to transfer the body.
Chen Ming's spiritual energy will affect the consciousness of the person being transported when transmitting.
The consciousness of the person being transported needs to be sealed for safe transmission.
For him, it is useless to close his consciousness. The Scarlet Dimension has already completely targeted him.
Penetrating into the rift to seize part of the power would have little impact, but if he dared to go directly into the scarlet dimension, something terrifying would definitely be waiting for him.
Therefore, it was impossible for Chen Ming to teleport the body some time ago.
But when Chen Ming's power has grown to the point where his consciousness can be separated from his body, and even the spiritual enlightenment nerve is just a sign of his being a psyker, not the source of his power.
What he transmits can be a body that is completely separated from consciousness, or in other words, an ordinary body called the body.
Only when he takes the initiative to enter the scarlet dimension, or is dragged into the scarlet dimension by external forces, will he be affected by the previous situation.
So all that's left to do is the bells and whistles.
This is easy to do.
When Chen Ming had an idea.
The Zerg blood and fragments splashed on the star gate suddenly became active, differentiated into some brand new flesh and blood tissue, and proliferated crazily in the blink of an eye, giving birth to countless biomass and legions.
It's like the mold that grows on bread expands like running water after speeding up its efficiency hundreds of times.
An ugly stain suddenly appeared on the pure white stargate frame originally supported by dolomite steel.
And this stain continues to expand, penetrating into the structure of the star gate frame.
And with the emergence of this piece of biomass and carpet, more and more of the remaining Zerg are giving up the fight with the mechanical tribe, and trying their best to get closer to the star gate, even if what is approaching is not a complete spaceship, but the spacecraft is blocked. The broken pieces of flesh and blood don't matter.
As long as it can get close to the past, the things on the star gate can absorb it and transform it into its own nutrition, further accelerating the efficiency of expansion.
Of course, the Machine Tribe cannot sit idly by and allow the Zerg Tribe to further influence the Star Gate.
All motherships carrying mechanical units immediately released almost all of the mechanical units and approached the star gate.
Since all the middle and lower-level spacecraft of the mechanical race have been destroyed, the space around the mothership has almost been filled by Zerg warships, resulting in a large number of mechanical race being destroyed by the Zerg warships midway.
However, some mechanical tribes still successfully landed on the star gate base and began to clean up the biomass and bacteria carpet above.
These biomass did not fight back, but simply continued to expand with even more exaggerated efficiency.
The absorption of the Zerg fragments into the biomass was just a pretense made by Chen Ming. What really provided nutrients to the biomass was Chen Ming and the insect queen who used spiritual energy to continuously transport energy crystals to the biomass here.
In the blink of an eye, the rate of biomass growth has even exceeded the speed of the mechanical clan's cleaning.
And the Destroyer Mothership had only just left hyperspace.
It has not had time to enter the galaxy and reach the distance where the Destroyer can be used, and it cannot affect the biomass.
However, these biomass did not destroy the star gate itself, nor did it make any aggressive behavior towards the mechanical race.
They just kept multiplying and expanding, and in a corner of the star gate, they built a ring structure of biomass similar to the star gate.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ming's spiritual energy fluctuations imitated Scarlet's power, creating a scarlet light film within the ring of biomass. He could do this after mastering part of Scarlet's power.
The ring-shaped structure made of accumulated flesh and blood seemed to be a brand new miniature version of the star gate, showing its full picture to the machine race.
The next moment.
Chen Ming, wearing biological armor, stepped out of the scarlet.
This time was different from the last time, it was the real him who came.
Relying on the slight gravitational influence of the star gate's singularity, he stood on the star gate frame.
The canopy of metallic liquid blocks all mechanical units and their attacks.
But there is already a mothership that is turning around. It seems that it does not intend to stay behind and wants to destroy Chen Ming and the star gate together.
Chen Ming, the main-level weapon, still has to be respected.
However, he did not act in a hurry. Instead, he took advantage of the time when the mechanical race's mothership turned around to turn his attention to a more distant place.
Although the Destroyer mothership in phase space cannot be seen with the naked eye, he knows that the Destroyer is desperately approaching the star gate from the edge of the galaxy at this time.
Once within a sufficient distance, destruction will directly affect him.
And this time, Chen Ming will not give the Destroyer such a chance.
But he wanted to give the Destroyer the illusion of a chance.
He reached out and lightly touched the stargate frame beside him.
He continued to watch silently as the machines in the galaxy continued to bombard his position, only to be completely blocked by the metal canopy.
In fact, he could have completely disappeared into the galaxy with the Stargate before the Destroyer approached.
Even if the jump engine is disturbed by the crazy jump traces that fill the entire galaxy, it will not affect Chen Ming's use of the scarlet dimension to send the star gate thousands of light years away.
Moreover, it is possible for the Destroyer to directly destroy the Star Gate after it approaches, and there is absolutely no way to save the things destroyed by the Destroyer.
This is the most troublesome situation that Chen Ming may encounter when attacking the Stargate Galaxy, so his initial arrangement was to eliminate this possibility.
The effect has already been achieved.
There doesn't seem to be any benefit in continuing to drag.
But he still wanted to wait, because this was not only an opportunity for the mechanical tribe, but also an opportunity for him.
In the phase space of the Stargate Galaxy, the Destroyer came almost alone.
Only about thirty or so specially modified cruisers used to replace radiant coils followed, and there was almost no effective protective force.
It has no real escort fleet
The mothership carrying the Destroyer has also undergone a relatively large degree of transformation.
It has a huge radiant energy capacity, and the radiant energy dissipation is close to zero.
This means that its sustained combat capabilities are quite poor.
It exchanged fire with Chen Ming's fleet in front, then made a non-stop jump back to the Stargate Galaxy, and had to rush back through hyperspace. During the entire process, the Destroyer Mothership had almost no time to rest.
This is the opportunity.
And Chen Ming's methods have already been laid out.
At the beginning of this second raid, the number of the Zerg fleet he produced was more than 4 million in the Black Mist prosthesis, and more than 4 million in the logistics area.
And this is not the upper limit of his Zerg combat power.
He also has a lot of backup Zerg strength.
Moreover, after previously arranging the phase beast to the Legion Ship Research Institute, Chen Ming borrowed the same device borrowed from the Fanchao Research Institute from the Ship Research Institute.
It is the device used by Fanchao Research to send the space station into phase space in the phase space interaction experiment.
It can help Chen Ming send the excess Zerg power into the phase space.
Biological ships do not need to dissipate radiation like ordinary ships. They are the most powerful existences in the phase space.
Those Zerg fleets in the phase space are Chen Ming's backup against the Destroyer.
However, since the range of that device is limited to a sphere with a diameter of several kilometers, it will take a certain amount of time to send a sufficient number of cruisers to compete with the mothership into the phase space.
Therefore, he did not attack the Destroyer immediately. Instead, he attracted the Destroyer out first and started with another target. The rest is simple. After the Destroyer targets his true self and releases the Destroyer, all the Zerg fleets in the phase space will immediately jump, swarm up and beat him to death with sticks.
Although this metaphor is a bit strange, Chen Ming feels that it is the most vivid metaphor for his methods against the Destroyer.
At this time, the Destroyer Mothership's spine cannon was already lighting up with progressive energy. About to act on the Destroyer.
The Destroyer will inevitably destroy Chen Ming together with the star gate where Chen Ming is standing.
Chen Ming also gradually activated his spiritual energy, so that when necessary, he could send himself and the Star Gate away instantly.
However.
Just when the mothership was about to activate the Destroyer, the jump fluctuation of Chen Ming's Zerg fleet also appeared near the Destroyer.
The Destroyer realized that something was wrong. It suddenly gave up attacking Chen Ming and covered itself with the aura of destruction.
A large number of Zerg that made the jump in the phase space were completely wiped out by the Destroyer just after the jump.
Chen Ming immediately stopped the jump and asked the Zerg cruiser, which had not yet made the jump to the point where it could not stop, to suspend its action.
He doesn't understand the current situation.
It was the mechanical race who chose to protect themselves between destroying themselves and killing Chen Ming.
Under normal circumstances, they would have tried their best to kill him.
But they didn't.
There is only one possibility.
That is because the Machine Clan believes that there is a high probability that Chen Ming on the Star Gate side is fake.
After all, Chen Ming did not take any action against the Star Gate after taking control of it, nor did he disconnect the mechanical clan and the Star Gate
Equipment like the Stargate is not directly connected to the mechanical clan’s cellular network, so they don’t know whether the Stargate is controlled at all
Naturally, we will remain skeptical.
Chen Ming knew that he really came in person this time, but did the machine clan have any suitable means to confirm it.
In the end, between killing the Star Gate and the existence suspected of being Chen Ming on the Star Gate, and preserving the Destroyer, they chose to preserve the Destroyer.
After all, if you choose the former, you will lose not only the Star Gate, but also the Destroyers who are attacked by the Zerg.
The machine race seems not to want to gamble on this probability.
In other words, in their opinion, the probability that Chen Ming is false is higher.
So the situation was frozen.
The Destroyer made no further moves.
Chen Ming's Zerg fleet did not continue to attack.
Only the battle near the star gate continued, and the mothership continued to turn its bow.
The speed of turning the bow of the tens of thousands of meters long mothership was not very fast, but within thirty seconds at most, Chen Ming would have to retreat.
He has the ability to kill the Destroyer, but he needs the Destroyer to direct the attack at himself, giving the Zerg the chance to create the first wave of close attacks and destroy all the ships supplying the mothership with radiant coils.
As for the mechanical race, they are not sure whether Chen Ming is real. Using the Destroyer to kill Chen Ming on the Star Gate is extremely risky.
They cannot afford to lose the Stargate at the same time and the Destroyer, who has the greatest possibility of killing Chen Ming.
So they would rather drag it on.
See if an ordinary mothership can pose a threat to Chen Ming without giving Chen Ming the slightest chance.
It seems that it is impossible to let the Destroyer take risks.
He didn't succeed in all his purposes, that's all.
Chen Ming sighed in his heart with some regret.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand and gestured an inverted thumb in the direction of the Destroyer, just like last time, and then disappeared into the galaxy with the star gate that was large enough to accommodate three capital ships to pass through at the same time.
Only the mechanical race and the remaining Zerg fleet were left to continue the final battle.
At the same time Chen Ming attacked the Star Gate.
The situation with the Black Mist Prosthesis is a little more complicated.
The three motherships of the Machine Race found that they were unable to resist the attack of the Black Mist Zerg Fleet.
At the same time, the more important Stargate Galaxy was also attacked by other Zerg fleets.
Even the Destroyers had no choice but to turn around and fight back. There was no Zerg on their side that they could show off.
So they chose to escape.
The location of escape can be said to be extremely particular.
A pirate space station galaxy, a branch where Baiquan is located.
The last one is a star system occupied by the empire in a certain mechanical race star field.
They all have one common characteristic.
This feature does not all have the imperial fleet.
But these three locations are all related to Chen Ming.
The first two locations are easy to understand, but the third location...
If Chen Ming remembered correctly, a fleet led by Cheng Xinghai responsible for suppressing the resistance of the mechanical tribe was there.
Once was an accident, twice was a coincidence, what were the three times?
Can the Machine Clan still go to the Empire to check their genealogy? Is there anyone who can promote Chen Ming's engagement to the machine clan?
Chen Ming didn't believe this was a coincidence, but he didn't have time to investigate the deeper reasons behind the current incident.
What he can do is to deal with the problem of the Zerg that may be forced to go to the empire.
He must not let the empire's fleet take action.
Because that means he will actively harm those innocent people.
It is absolutely impossible for him to watch
Just when Chen Ming asked the insect queen to prepare a new insect race again and prepare to fight a civil war on the empire's territory.
Suddenly, it was discovered that there seemed to be some problems with the jump process of a mothership.
The jump process of the mothership that wanted to jump to the galaxy where Baiquan was located was interrupted by the landing point.
Come to think of it, the branch is now the general headquarters of the front line, and there will always be means to prevent jump raids.
But it is a pity that this mothership also reacted very quickly. It immediately followed the jump fluctuation of the other mothership and followed the other mothership to another place.
If it didn't react, it would have to face the siege of more than three million Zerg fleets alone.
Although it is a pity, the result is not too bad.
At least this way, Chen Ming would have one-third less trouble to deal with.
The pirate space station at this time.
In front of the hardware store.
Suddenly a robot walks into the hardware store.
The boss looked up and then casually lowered his head and looked at the terminal and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The Machine Tribe is coming over with a mothership."
"It's okay, I can fight."
"There will be some bugs behind us."
"?"
The boss raised his head with confusion in his eyes.
Chen Ming explained: "For some reasons, I have to let the Zerg follow me, so..."
The boss straightened up and asked: "How to deal with it?"
"Hmm...Boss, what method did you use when Yuhui called you last time? Can it still be used? Will it be effective against the machine race?"
"That ability is what I call mind tremor. It is specifically designed for conscious beings. It won't be very effective against the mechanical race, but it should be usable."
"Consciousness shock has no effect, but psychic shock will eat them. But this is a shock that directly obliterates consciousness. Your Zerg are also hive minds, right? The damage will be great."
"It's okay." Chen Ming said: "Boss, tell me when you do it. I can take away the consciousness of the Zerg and everything will be fine."
As soon as Chen Ming finished speaking, the space station suddenly sounded an alarm.
Traces of the mothership have appeared in the pirate galaxy.
There are also transitional fluctuations that almost completely disrupt the space fluctuations of the galaxy, just like the mechanical race's stargate galaxy.
"Come so fast? And this quantity..."
The boss said this and stopped asking any more questions. He simply said to Chen Ming: "Then let's do it now."
He stood up as he spoke, and a soft spiritual energy wave surrounded him and spread outward.
And as this psychic wave spreads outward, its nature is becoming more and more crazy.
Gradually, it began to possess the power to destroy all minds, sweeping across the entire galaxy.
The mothership that had just arrived through the jump, and the millions of Zerg cruisers following the mothership, were all swept away by this mighty force.
If these were not Chen Ming's Zerg, but real Zerg, they would probably die completely before this power, leaving no room for struggle.
This is the power of a top level 6 psyker.
The Zerg fleet now needs to rely on sheer numbers to defeat even its capital ships, let alone the truly powerful level 6 psykers.
But fortunately, such psychics are our own.
And with the boss's advance reminder, Chen Ming has sent the consciousness of all Zerg units back to the Zerg network.
Only the mechanical race mothership was really attacked by the trembling mind. Before it had time to make any moves or release any attacks, it was destroyed in the galaxy.
Lying quietly in space together with the remaining complete bodies of the Zerg warships.
The boss looked very relaxed and sat back in his chair: "I'll have those bugs collected later, and you can tell me where to send them."
"That's not right..."
The boss suddenly realized something.
That is, these are not hundreds or thousands of warships, but millions.
This was simply not a quantity his men could handle.
"It seems like you have to find a way to deal with these bugs on your own. I can help you stop others for a while, and you can get it done as soon as possible."
"I know."
Chen Ming responded.
But his mind wasn't on dealing with the zerg.
Instead, it appeared in a certain galaxy occupied by the empire among the mechanical tribe.
