Chapter 361 Destruction
Although the dark underground cavity cannot be directly observed visually.
But the effects of destruction are as glaring as bright lights.
Chen Ming must first find a way to break through the destruction zone created by the destruction core, and then he can deal with the laboratory that is constrained by his position in this underground cavity area.
If he wants to pass through this circle of destruction, he must either use high-strength special psychic materials to resist the effects of the destruction wave and force a breakthrough like the Machine Tribe did.
Or simply see through the essence of the mechanical clan's approach and use pure spiritual energy fluctuations to offset the destructive fluctuations.
The second method seems to be in line with the psyker style.
But according to Chen Ming's current view, the machine clan is definitely using some kind of technical means to stimulate the effect of destroying the core and construct this circle area.
It is definitely not a rational approach to use one's own power to compete with the anti-matter reactor anti-matter engine.
And the first method.
Although the special grade material itself is still quite rare.
However, since Chen Ming began to let the Zerg participate in resource development on the road to development, the development of special resources is no longer as difficult as before.
The Zerg left behind on different planets where he discovered resources can breed efficiently, and of course they can also exploit the resources on them.
Therefore, Chen Ming's resource inventory has recently increased.
Moreover, the materials Chen Ming developed and used for biodynamic armor some time ago are also changing with the changes in the inventory of materials and the evolution level of the Zerg.
Biodynamic armor has always used top-notch special materials with psychic properties.
In other words, the method Chen Ming should choose now is actually the first one, which is to rush in directly.
Of course Chen Ming is not that reckless.
He continued to use his powerful perception ability to confirm the internal environment structure of the laboratory.
Soon, Chen Ming ended the investigation and mentally thought about the steps to take after entering the laboratory.
He wrapped the psychic energy waves around the inside of the armor to make up for the loopholes the armor itself might have, and the Insect Queen's psychic energy also acted on him.
His body burst out with great strength and speed, broke out of the ground, rushed into the area shrouded in destruction, and rushed towards the mechanical tribe's laboratory.
The destructive psychic energy acted on the armor covering Chen Ming, reacting neutrally with the psychic properties of the armor material, and continuously destroying the armor's structure.
Destruction psionic energy will make Chen Ming's repair psionic energy ineffective, but Chen Ming can still manually control the materials to fill the damaged parts of the armor to offset the impact of destruction.
The distance between the edge of the underground cavity and the outer layer of the internal laboratory, that is, the width of the destruction area, is not too long.
With sufficient protection, Chen Ming relied on the powerful biodynamic armor to forcefully break through the destruction zone in just a moment.
He broke the laboratory wall with one punch and entered the interior of the laboratory.
Although the process just left pitted marks on his biological armor, it also caused some of the armor structures that were not destroyed to have their psychic properties erased.
But all the damage was restored the moment Chen Ming left the destruction area.
In the laboratory, the alarm sounded.
But there were no mechanical units on either side of the pure white corridor where Chen Ming was at this time.
After all, the destruction area is far stronger than the mechanical unit. If someone can break through the destruction area, there is no point in using ordinary machinery to stop them.
On the contrary, several simple defense systems inside the laboratory started automatically, but they were all shut down immediately after Chen Ming reached out and took control of the laboratory.
However, he soon discovered that the laboratory was a laboratory, and the device inside the laboratory where the destruction core was installed was an independent structure.
He cannot control it directly through the laboratory.
But the problem is not big. Since he has arrived here, he plans to take the initiative to take risks.
Chen Ming paused for a moment, wanting to see if the mechanical tribe would make any further moves.
But he didn't encounter anything. It was as if the machine clan really had no intention of stopping him, so they allowed Chen Ming to enter the laboratory and approach the device.
This situation made Chen Ming feel that something was wrong. He became more wary and paid more attention to his ability to perceive danger.
There's just a small problem now. His consciousness has been almost completely covered by the sense of danger brought about by destroying the core.
There is nothing we can do about it, after all, the power of destroying the core is the most terrifying.
He could only pay more attention to other dangers that were overshadowed by the danger of destruction.
Under the dual influence of Chen Ming's perception and psychic energy, Chen Ming opened a fast channel inside the laboratory between him and his target, the device equipped with a destruction core.
It allows him to get to the core area of the laboratory as quickly as possible.
Chen Ming did not encounter any obstruction from the mechanical clan on the way.
In other words, it’s not that easy to have one.
Not only has Chen Ming taken control of the laboratory, but also because everything outside the laboratory is a destruction area. It takes a little effort for Chen Ming to get in. Unless the machine clan itself directly stops the operation of the destruction core, it will have to face and Chen Ming has the same problem.
The mechanical tribe seems to have no such plan, so they have no way to carry out subsequent interference.
Just let Chen Ming arrive at the center of the laboratory.
The core of destruction exuding a terrifying aura is just ahead.
Before Chen Ming faced the impact of the Destruction Core, a large amount of silent alloy liquid suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, blocking it in front of him, forming two huge and thick mechanical arms.
Without any hesitation, Chen Ming controlled one of the robotic arms to touch the device in the center, while the other stretched directly towards the core of destruction.
His intentions are quite clear.
However, the mechanical clan, which had been silent for a long time, finally made a move before Chen Ming was about to end it all.
The device on the surface that Chen Ming thought was just for camouflage was suddenly activated, and a layer of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye that was almost condensed penetrated all the substantial structures, forming a spherical barrier that was blocking everything around it. .
In the blink of an eye, the underground including an entire destroyed area, the laboratory inside, and the Chen Ming in the laboratory were covered.
But just when the spherical barrier was about to be completely blocked, the last gap on its spherical surface was still not completely blocked. The efficiency of psychic effects suddenly seemed to have stopped, but the equipment was running more violently than before. .
The device on the surface seemed to have reached the edge of overload in just a few seconds, and was forced to open the device's casing for heat dissipation.
The moment the device is opened, a spherical object emitting strong spiritual energy fluctuations can be seen inside through the gap between the shells.
This is also a psychic core.
And Chen Ming has already felt its specific effects.
Chen Ming, who was underground at this time, felt a tearing sensation that went straight into the essence of his consciousness at the moment when the device on the surface was activated.
He immediately understood that the abilities of the surface device were exactly the same as those of the underground device, except that it had a layer of disguise on the outside that made Chen Ming misjudge.
Chen Ming mistakenly thought that the mechanical tribe wanted to use the destruction core and jump device to achieve special effects.
The real function of the device on the surface is to activate the internal psychic core related to consciousness and block the consciousness of all existences around the consciousness.
It is precisely because of its function that it conflicts with Chen Ming's consciousness.
However, Chen Ming's consciousness in the ontology is not complete and complete consciousness.
His consciousness also exists in other places at the same time.
This resulted in the device being unable to completely retaliate against Chen Ming's consciousness, so the operation of the device was stuck and overloaded.
But the equipment prepared by the mechanical tribe was still doing its best to cut off the connection between his consciousness and other consciousnesses.
If his consciousness is really cut off, the impact will be extremely negative.
Although Chen Ming has been actively cutting off his consciousness and throwing it into different bodies.
But these cut consciousnesses all maintain a layer of connection with each other, and are all part of Chen Ming's own self. Only in this way can each conscious body be able to use complete spiritual energy at will.
If the consciousness is cut off, not only will the psychic effects be limited, but also the structure of Chen Ming's consciousness will be affected. For Chen Ming's current state, the consequences will be disastrous.
Chen Ming really couldn't solve the problem of the equipment itself in a short time.
He went straight to the real target of destroying the core from the beginning, and did not even touch the device on the surface that looked like a trap.
The mechanical tribe was very smart to place another trap in this trap on the surface, causing Chen Ming to not pay attention to it at all.
The equipment on the surface was also powered by antimatter energy for half a day.
Using human consciousness to fight antimatter reactors is obviously not a rational idea.
Although Chen Ming really wanted to do this, his condition did not allow him to do so at this time.
Because his state of consciousness is very special.
His consciousness is like a ball of yarn. It is difficult to cut the ball of yarn in half directly.
But when the yarn ball of Chen Ming's consciousness had several threads extending to different places, and formed into smaller yarn balls.
It's much easier to cut the connection between these small balls of yarn and the big ball of yarn.
Chen Ming is now equivalent to using the connection between the yarn balls to compete with the energy of the antimatter reactor.
There is nothing wrong with hitting the reactor with a ball of yarn, but just think about it if you hit the reactor with a thread.
If Chen Ming doesn't want to be cut off from the connection between consciousness.
Either he concentrates all his consciousness on his body, or he lets the consciousness on his body leave, or he lets the machine family's device really cut off his conscious body.
The third option is ruled out directly.
Chen Ming probably still has a few seconds to think about what to do.
Just in these few seconds.
A large robotic arm made by Chen Ming using silent alloy has contacted the device underground.
However, this underground device also has problems.
Its shell and internal structure are separated. Just controlling the shell cannot directly control an entire device.
Especially the energy progress bar on the outer shell that Chen Ming saw before was also fake.
This progress bar is purely deceptive. No matter when Chen Ming sees it, it will be an approximate progress.
This is a thing that manipulates people's psychology and disguises it as an urgent-looking thing with a progress bar, which makes Chen Ming have the idea that he must stop its operation.
It was a trap used to trick Chen Ming into going underground so that he could take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to block Chen Ming's consciousness.
The mechanical tribe really guessed that Chen Ming's body was not necessarily his true body, so they had such an arrangement.
Even if Chen Ming may have other consciousnesses, at least the part of his consciousness that runs here must be destroyed here.
Of course, Chen Ming was not surprised.
He knew from the beginning to the end that this would definitely be a troublesome trap set by the mechanical tribe.
But in order to destroy the core, he decided to step in.
Because he has really experienced the power of destruction.
The other mechanical arm continues to approach the core of destruction with difficulty and will touch it immediately.
But Chen Ming also understood at this time that his mechanical arm would never have time to reach the core of destruction before his conscious body was cut off.
Not to mention that he only touches the core of destruction instead of controlling it.
He had to make a decision.
Chen Ming did not hesitate any longer, and a flash of blue and red flashed in his conscious space.
Then he suddenly gathered all the scattered consciousness and summarized them all into the ontology.
Right now.
The boss who was processing the latest documents suddenly stopped, looked at the robot next to him, then at the terminal given by Chen Ming in the drawer, and frowned. The robot controlled by Chen Ming at the headquarters suddenly stopped operating. The director of the Ship Research Institute and the Director of the Psionics Research Institute, who were discussing the further development of phase ships and psychic powers at a meeting held next to them, both looked at it in confusion. towards it.
Chen Ming, who was in the frontline command room, suddenly lowered his head and said nothing as if he was asleep.
Qiu Boyen seemed to feel something. He turned his head to look at Chen Ming, his eyes full of confusion and flashed with surprise.
He immediately came to Chen Ming's side and shook Chen Ming's shoulders, and then released his mental power to test.
He came to a conclusion that shocked him beyond measure.
Aren't An Wuping and Chen Ming half-brothers?
This special situation made him immediately think of a special situation, hive mind.
Of course Chen Ming knew what problems would arise if he suddenly took all his consciousness back into his body.
But the foreshadowing he had made with An Wuping's identity was enough.
Only people will know that he has a mechanical hive network similar to An Wuping's Zerg hive network.
Even the composition of this mechanical hive mind network seems to the outside world to have been thought up by others for him, rather than something he created himself.
He has already considered the consequences, and now he should do something that he is willing to bear and want to do.
Give it a try.
Let's see what the Machine Tribe has prepared for him in this trap.
Chen Ming completely gathered his consciousness. At the moment when the consciousness blockade area was formed, he smashed the shell of the underground device with a fist and reached out to control the more core structure.
But just as he smashed the shell, a sudden sense of danger hit him.
His arm sublimated directly and disappeared into the air.
A ball of bright material made Chen Ming immediately retreat tens of meters.
He also constructed a steel wall in front of him that completely blocked the laboratory structure and was also tens of meters thick.
He covered the gap in his scorched broken arm and wiped away the armor material that had melted into molten iron due to the terrifying high temperature.
Through perception, he continued to look towards the laboratory.
The other end of the laboratory has completely lost its basic structure, leaving only high heat and destruction.
The material that suddenly appeared just now is the core material of the stars in this galaxy.
The device arranged by the mechanical race on the surface is not just a disguise, it really has its function and is really connected to the interior of the star.
The machine race does not just intend to send destruction to the star. Their idea is to send the material in the star here.
They use the power of stars to destroy the core of destruction, allowing the core of destruction to explode with all the power contained within it when it is destroyed.
Destruction will destroy everything.
The core of destruction has been damaged by the power of the star.
A wave of destruction that cannot be suppressed or restricted has begun to escape from within.
And the power of the star also activates the destruction and is destroyed by it at the same time.
Chen Ming rebuilt his body and armor without thinking too much.
Then he continued to build a larger layer of silent alloy armor on the outer layer of the biological armor. Like a solid iron block, he passed through the copper wall he made and approached the location of the destruction core.
The silent alloy can temporarily resist the effects of destruction, but the structure of the alloy is also continuously destroyed as Chen Ming approaches the core of destruction.
He has called out all the silent alloy inventory and used it all for now, to completely wrap up the core of destruction.
The core of destruction is like a source of radiation that is constantly spreading, and Chen Ming is about to use thick lead to confine it before proceeding with subsequent processing.
However, at the moment when his silent alloy will destroy the core package.
The Destruction Core once again burst out with terrifying power, tearing apart the surrounding Silence Alloy and destroying everything around it.
Chen Ming reacted extremely quickly and retreated again, once again creating a wall strong enough to make destruction sigh.
After the dissipation of this wave of destructive power, he quickly approached again and once again wrapped the core of destruction with the remaining silence alloy materials.
This time Chen Ming deliberately left an opening in one direction that could allow the destructive power to escape.
And the core of destruction also burst out with power again as before.
This force went towards the ground in the direction arranged by Chen Ming, completely destroying the devices left on the surface by the mechanical clan.
The barrier blocking Chen Ming's consciousness immediately disappeared.
If Chen Ming wants to leave, he can leave at any time.
But he didn't want to.
He has experience in controlling the black mist core and knows that this psychic core is very close to the spirit stone in nature.
He can try to use his own power to limit the core of destruction to restrain the energy that is escaping.
Even though the effects of destruction are terrible, when Chen Ming uses his mental power to suppress it, it is also causing damage to Chen Ming's own mental power.
Even Chen Ming's conscious body had some scars.
But Chen Ming still didn't give up.
While suppressing the core of destruction that had not yet completely released its power, he also allowed part of his consciousness to disperse again and go to other places to get help.
He used all the means at his disposal that could be used to increase mental power and increase psychic effects.
Whether it is fairy trees, spiritual stones, ship spirits, condensed spiritual energy sources, or drugs and devices that stimulate spiritual power, use everything you can.
But the core of destruction is still becoming more and more difficult to suppress. The power of the star destroyed the structure of the core of destruction, and even part of the destruction wave has spread to the surroundings of his dispersed consciousness with the help of Chen Ming's consciousness.
If Chen Ming had not taken back all the consciousness bodies before, and only separated the consciousness bodies on his own territory.
At this time, there are probably several places in the empire where Chen Ming will experience what he is experiencing now.
The biological and silent alloy composite armor on Chen Ming's body was about to be destroyed and completely stripped off.
Even the concept of vacuum is being destroyed in the surrounding environment.
Chen Ming's side has been destroyed and turned into a "nothing" area.
Only Chen Ming and the core of destruction were left.
Gradually, Chen Ming discovered that the power spread by the destruction core was gradually weakening.
But this is not a good sign.
Because he discovered that destruction was destroying the barrier between the normal universe and other dimensions.
Destruction is erasing the separation between the Crimson Dimension and the normal universe.
Not only the scarlet dimension and the normal universe, the destruction even opened a rift between the phase space and the normal universe.
The power of destruction is acting on space.
Even if the gap between the normal universe and the scarlet dimension is only less than a millimeter in diameter, its negative impact is immeasurable.
The former dimensional infection was essentially the projection of the power of the scarlet dimension in the normal universe.
And if destruction continues to destroy the barrier between dimensions, it may eventually lead to the consequences.
It's a dimensional invasion.
Chen Ming knew that he could never let this happen.
At the moment when the armor on his body had completely collapsed, he reached forward and grasped the core of destruction in his hand.
His body was reduced to ashes in an instant.
But his conscious body still firmly holds the core of destruction in his hands, and holds the location where the core of destruction is in the space where the space collapsed.
Terrifying scars appeared on Chen Ming's consciousness.
But he still didn't let go, and instead continued to hold on to the core of destruction.
The injuries on his conscious body not only kept appearing, but also kept repairing.
This is not only the effect of Chen Ming's mental power, but also the ship spirit constantly helping him.
Just then.
The ship spirit appeared beside him.
Various auras full of power also appeared on his body.
The phantom of the ship spirit appeared here with all the resonance ectoplasm stones belonging to Chen Ming.
Frantic words, fear and resentment, as well as a spirit-hungry sent by Bian Gaoxuan.
Just when Chen Ming was wondering what the boat spirit was going to do, he saw cracks appearing on these spiritual stones that were extremely important to him.
The power of the spiritual stone is flowing out and converging into Chen Ming's body.
Chen Ming lowered his head and glanced. His third source of condensed spiritual energy appeared in the center of his consciousness.
This is definitely something brought over by Ship Ling.
Chuan Ling and Chen Ming both prospered and suffered losses, so he did not have any doubts about Chuan Ling.
Just like that, with a hint of heartache, he completely absorbed the power of the Mad Words ectoplasm stone that had been with him since three years ago, and also absorbed the power of several other resonance ectoplasm stones.
For a moment, Chen Ming saw the shadow of Qian Mian, whose power of resentment existed in the spirit stone of resentment.
It should have been when Chen Ming completely killed Zuo Jing's brainwashed psyker that he should have completely helped Chen Ming master the power of the ectoplasmic stone of resentment.
But at this time, the last trace of power remaining in the resentment spirit stone appeared here.
"Just die, I will kill the real brainwashed psyker."
After Chen Ming finished speaking, the thousand-faced shadow completely disappeared.
The power was concentrated in Chen Ming's body.
As long as Chen Ming is given a little more time, he will be able to completely master the power brought by these resonance ectoplasm stones with the help of the ship spirit, and rely on this power that is completely his own to control destruction.
However.
Accidents always come sooner than tomorrow.
At this time, a sudden jump wave appeared in the sky above the mechanical planet where Chen Ming was located.
Something is coming.
Coming with a sense of danger.
Although this sense of danger is not so conspicuous among the dangers of destruction that has destroyed the barriers between spaces.
But the portions are generous.
The transition fluctuation ended in an instant.
Chen Ming didn't see anything from the position where the jump ended.
He could only perceive a power of scarlet and phase.
He knew what was coming.
