Chapter 364 Harvest Planning Death Torpedo
Everything that needs to be explained has been explained, and everything that needs to be handled has been handled.
Chen Ming's main consciousness returned to the afterglow fleet that was developing.
Back to the high point he was used to staying at.
I said hello to Brilliance and Chaofan, and played with Xiao Shi for a while.
By the way, I used this short time to do some things in the mechanical star field.
After doing this, Chen Ming lay directly on the bed, reduced the proportion of consciousness borne by the consciousness in other places to the minimum, and closed his eyes.
In this way, converging the consciousness in other places can relax his consciousness the most.
He really needed a break.
Even if he has lost his body now, his conscious body still needs to rest after a long period of work.
Especially during the period when he was fighting against the mechanical tribe, his average rest time per day was not even more than two hours.
Really need a long-awaited rest.
Chen Ming cut off most of the ways to contact him and let his consciousness enter the groggy state of dormancy.
Time flies and comes twenty-four hours later.
Chen Ming got up energetically.
The first thing after waking up is to count the harvest.
The purpose of Chen Ming's participation in the war and the conflict with the mechanical tribe has always been very clear, which is to obtain benefits in the war.
And the benefits he gained from defeating the mechanical race are also obvious.
If you look at it on a larger material level, among the things he obtained this time, the most profitable thing was the complete colony of the capital galaxy of the mechanical race that he finally took away.
Everything in this mechanical race star field is included in this colony, whether it is data or a colony or anything that a mechanical race colony should have.
It pointed out to Chen Ming the future development direction of his mechanical clan.
The machine race is one of the basic sources of Chen Ming's power system at this time.
That star map document also confirmed that the existence of the mechanical race is extremely powerful, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with cultivating your own mechanical race.
Having such a colony saves the cost and time of countless trials and errors.
The value is immeasurable.
Apart from this colony, the next most valuable thing should be the Star Gate.
Not only the Star Gate that Chen Ming took away in front of the Machinery Clan some time ago, but also the Machinery Clan that he took away yesterday when he and Xiaoshi played for a while before taking a break. Another stargate in the capital system.
After all, if the Star Gate is to be used, it must be used in pairs, and he has to find a way to get another one.
If there is a ready-made opportunity, you can't let it go.
The value of the Star Gate is other than its own value.
It also lies in opening up an efficient, fast and connected route that can transport a large amount of materials between Chen Ming's mechanical galaxy at the border of the empire and the location where his pioneering fleet arrives.
This does not require a large consumption of his mental power like Chen Ming is now transporting supplies to the front line, it only requires a large consumption of energy.
For Chen Ming, who has a large amount of energy source provided by the Zerg, the energy demand is nothing.
Although the movement when the star gate is activated is not small.
It is not movement visible to the naked eye, but movement in space fluctuations on a cosmic scale.
At that time, Chen Mingde will have to deal with the issues on the empire's side a little bit.
But it won't be anything big.
Chen Ming is no longer afraid of anyone or any force.
Periodically transporting materials in large quantities is still very valuable to Chen Ming.
After all, although the scale of the pioneering fleet is expanding very slowly, it is still expanding. Transporting supplies every day will also take up a lot of his free time. It is very meaningful for Chen Ming to be able to save this time and mental energy to do other things.
It just so happened that Chen Ming's Zerg units also began to expand, and their efficiency was terrifying.
The expansion process of the Zerg is a process of devouring the planet and exploiting the planet's resources.
Under normal circumstances, the Zerg expansion will devour all the resources of the planet.
But at Chen Ming's request, the Insect Queen took control of the situation, which meant that a lot of resources would be collected as the Insects expanded.
Many of these resources will be provided to the pioneering fleet.
But there are also some resources that the pioneering fleet cannot use, or there are too many resources that are useless.
These resources can be concentrated in the temporary strongholds opened up, sent back to the empire through the star gate, and then sold back to make a profit.
Although Chen Ming's abilities are already very strong, money is still very important to him so far.
It’s not a situation where money is just a number.
Therefore, Star Gate has multiple values for Chen Ming.
The second most valuable thing is the giant structure that Chen Ming took with him when he took away the Star Gate from the Machine Tribe.
The giant shipyard of the mechanical clan.
Chen Ming has been thinking about this thing for a long time, and he also took it away while the mechanical clan's defense force was empty.
With it, there is the capital to build capital ships.
After the things with strategic value, the most valuable ones are the two complete motherships and the seven damaged motherships belonging to the mechanical family.
Chen Ming had already thought of the use of the two complete mechanical race motherships before.
One ship will be handed over to HR, the strongest afterglow individual he currently has in terms of combat. It is the afterglow core that Baiquan obtained on the battlefield where the empire and the main force of afterglow fought.
After a period of adaptation, it will definitely be able to bring out the value of the mothership.
Another mothership, Chen Ming, plans to hand it over to the Insect Queen.
After the recent incident with the Machine Tribe, the Insect Queen finally had some free time.
It can finally start eating a variety of different things, such as the phase monster scales that Chen Ming had obtained some time ago, to acquire new genes.
Of course, the assimilation of capital ships is also possible.
The day the Zerg Queen successfully assimilates the battleship, that is the day the Zerg can mass-produce the battleship.
When the Zerg can mass-produce capital ships, then no one in the world... at least around the empire area, can restrict them.
This is not something that is very far away.
As for those wreckage, they will become Chen Ming's test subjects in the process of mastering battleship-level technology.
besides.
Chen Ming also has a destructive core that has been weakened after leaking part of its power.
The power of destruction is very powerful, but not the kind of power that Chen Ming needs.
He wanted to make his power stronger.
But it's still possible if you just use the Destruction Core as a weapon.
The mothership driven by HR can continue to use the Destroyer as a weapon, but its power will be slightly weaker than after being used by Chen Ming and dissipating part of its power.
As a battleship-level psychic weapon, even if it is weaker than before, it is still more powerful than any other main-level weapon of the same level.
It's like the person who was originally ranked first suddenly dropped more than ten points, but was still far ahead of the second place by more than 100 points.
Moreover, Chen Ming estimated that he would not encounter any situation that required the dispatch of capital ships for a long time to come.
After destroying the core, he might even feed it to An Wuping, becoming one of the powers of An Wuping's special prosthesis.
Therefore, the value of the destruction core is somewhat subjective.
There is no denying its own value, but for him who doesn't need to fight often, or who doesn't need to fight at the battleship level often, the value of using it is indeed not high.
Just put it there first.
In addition, Chen Ming had another thing in his hand that was in a similar situation.
It was the body of a powerful phase beast leader who had been in the scarlet dimension for a long time.
This thing gave Chen Ming a headache before and he didn't know how to deal with it.
The Zerg do not need to eat all of them to obtain the genes of the phase beast, they only need to eat a little bit.
It is even possible to obtain all the genes by eating only the scales that Xiao Xiang actively shed before. However, Chen Ming was worried that eating the scales of Xiao Xiang would not be enough, so he planned to feed the queen some extra flesh and blood tissue.
Although this is somewhat dangerous, it is still worth doing, and Chen Ming also has enough back-ups to prevent danger.
But this would only eat a little bit of the clan leader's corpse at most.
There are still tens of thousands of corpses lying there, and I don’t know how to deal with them better.
But this was the situation before.
Now, after Chen Ming combined with another thing that troubled him, he gradually came up with a somewhat crazy idea.
Chen Ming has been struggling with the choice of his first battleship.
He wanted a powerful, perfect capital ship.
Then why not try it from the corpse of the phase beast leader?
Transform the corpse of this powerful creature into a war machine and transform it into a capital ship.
The patriarch himself possesses the same dimensional power as Chen Ming, and his compatibility with Chen Ming is very good.
Then as long as he incorporates other powers he possesses during the transformation process, wouldn't it be possible to create a battleship that is truly perfect for him?
The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more feasible it became. He had already mastered the semi-biological and semi-mechanical transformation technology before. After a period of study and development, there would be no problem in applying it here.
Of course, there is no rush to start this matter directly.
There are so many things to consider when building a capital ship.
Not only the design of the ship itself, but also the difficulty of manufacturing main-level weapons, as well as more technical issues.
The manufacture of a capital ship is not something that can be done with a slap on the forehead. It also needs to be built with supporting giant structures.
Chen Minngling can master the use of giant shipyards, but just mastering it is definitely not enough for his ideas.
If you master the use of a giant shipyard, you can use the shipyard to build an ordinary capital ship, but you will never be able to use an ordinary giant shipyard to create a half-biological, half-mechanical, and even dimensional power battleship.
These technologies require experience to be accumulated.
Chen Ming wants a perfect, or close to perfect, battleship. As the first battleship under his control, it must be treated with the highest standards, and it cannot be done simply.
So Chen Ming's idea is not to rely solely on the technology he has mastered.
He has many people he can go to and ask them to help him develop a powerful capital ship.
There is nothing wrong with joint research and development on a big project like a battleship.
Get rid of these foreign gains.
The rest is Chen Ming's own gain. He used the power of the Destruction Core and the catalysis of the Ship Spirit to integrate all of his own powers, so that his power was no longer independent, and his strength had changed significantly compared to before.
Although he lost all his resonance ectoplasm stones and a spirit-loving stone.
But the natural disaster core composed of the unified source of power can just offset these losses.
Compared with the external harvests, the core of natural disasters, which represents the source of power, is obviously more important.
This is probably the only overall gain.
Although there is no larger scale, such as galaxies, planets, etc. that can be directly attributed to his harvest.
But the things Chen Ming got have made his future path smooth.
Chen Ming finally looked back at his gains and confirmed the direction of his next action.
Just prepare to reshape your body first.
Although a pure conscious body is very convenient, he is still more accustomed to physical activities.
When Chen Ming had this idea, his conscious body immediately came to the Insect Queen's side.
After all, the location of the Insect Queen at this time can be said to be very close to Chen Ming, and the insect nest is being expanded on a planet in the galaxy where she has developed a temporary base.
There was no need for Chen Ming to control any Zerg unit to meet the Zerg Queen. He could come over with just a little movement of his hands.
Making a new body is not too troublesome. After all, the insect queen has made so many prostheses, and it has already memorized Chen Ming's genetic sequence.
But that alone is not enough.
Chen Ming's idea is to build a basic body based on human genes, and then let the insect queen stuff some additional reinforced body parts that are more suitable for the human body into the body.
He still wants to be a human being, not an insect.
All organs are based on his own genes and achieve some special effects by imitating the functions of Zerg organs.
In addition, Chen Ming also prepared some nanorobots for himself.
Like the units of the imitating mechanical family, they rely on nanorobots to repair and maintain themselves.
At the same time, it can also improve his physical fitness to a certain extent.
This is also the technology that Chen Ming has mastered after mastering more and more robots. It can be regarded as an experiment on himself before using it in batches on other units.
The toxic substances discharged by the nanorobots can be processed uniformly by the Zerg organs to render these toxic substances harmless.
Not to mention reaching the level of physical strength of An Wuping, at least his body should not be killed by any random weapon.
Although he is no longer afraid of his body being killed, it would still be troublesome to rebuild his body if he dies too easily and casually.
It took more than ten minutes to prepare my body.
Chen Ming also plans to start from scratch today on his idea of building a new battleship using the corpse of the phase beast patriarch.
But before this kind of work that takes a long time and requires a lot of investment begins.
Chen Ming thought of the last thing that he had not dealt with before.
remains.
It was because of the ruins that a full-scale conflict broke out between Chen Ming and the Machinery Clan, and Chen Ming was finally forced to destroy all the main strength of the Machinery Clan.
Later, the mechanical race had no spare time to explore the ruins, and Chen Ming would not be idle and suddenly go somewhere else to cause trouble when the frontal battlefield was overwhelming.
So the ruins are still preserved to this day.
He went to take a look, but he couldn't forget this place.
Chen Ming immediately dispatched several cruisers newly produced by the Queen of Insects and jumped into the galaxy where the mechanical race was located.
This is a location that the Mechanical Tribe did not develop immediately before, but only marked this place first.
However, no threats were found during the initial investigation conducted by Chen Ming.
Now I even drove a cruiser over, but I didn’t find any problems in the galaxy.
Of course, this does not affect Chen Ming's investigation of the ruins of this shining civilization.
He didn't even have to let the approaching Zerg cruisers land.
He directly asked several cruisers to throw down some substances controlled by his psychic energy.
These substances were allowed to penetrate deep into the ground, and based on the data of the ruins investigated by the machine race, the location of the ruins was confirmed.
Then Chen Ming discovered that the ruins of this shining civilization were a very modern laboratory.
Then there is nothing more to say.
Teleporting the core of Afterglow brought the ruins under his control.
Chen Ming immediately took a look at the ruins, which were the defense facilities of this Shining Civilization Laboratory.
They are some independent mechanical clan guards who are not connected to the mechanical clan's hive network, and the logic running program is locked and will not be changed.
They are only responsible for guarding the interior of the laboratory.
But they didn't seem to protect anything. The entire laboratory was in a mess, with traces of the activities of the Thorn Zerg everywhere.
I don’t know if they came here after the pollutants from the mechanical race.
Anyway, Chen Ming didn't see any corpses of the main species of shining civilization.
The Zerg that invaded the laboratory were most likely wiped out in the end, and the corpses were thrown outside and turned into mud after a few years. There were no clues to tell.
In short, there are no survivors in the laboratory.
But there was something about this laboratory that made Chen Ming feel strange.
In addition to the mechanical family, the laboratory's defense methods also include some independent nanorobots that are not installed on the mechanical family.
These nanorobots are not programmed to simply protect the laboratory, but have an independent command.
Destroy the machines.
Chen Ming didn't understand why. He didn't know if the programs of these nanorobots had broken down after an unknown number of years, or if it was for some other reason.
He couldn't figure out why.
However, there are some valuable things in this laboratory, such as data on the subjects studied in the laboratory and samples of the things it has studied.
When he saw the name of the sample he got, Chen Ming suddenly felt that most of what he had gained in this war was not even as valuable as it was.
Because the thing that Shining Civilization studies is called [Resurrection Mechanical Fluid].
It is not a liquid that resurrects the machine family, but an item that uses a cluster of nanomachines that appears to be liquid to resurrect the dead.
As long as there is a corpse, even if there are only a few cells left, resurrection is definitely not a problem.
Although it is unclear why such a thing would appear on the border of an area that is compared to the area occupied by the main star field of shining civilization that is currently academically considered.
But he is indeed the crystallization of shining civilization technology.
To be honest, this thing doesn't mean much to Chen Ming.
He doesn't know anyone important who needs this thing, although it's not bad to save it. After all, life, old age, illness, death and accidents, who knows what day they will come.
Others, unlike him, could still survive after losing their bodies.
The value of keeping it is already immeasurable.
And if the value is released, it may cause the entire empire to fall into madness.
Chen Ming quickly got a sample of mechanical fluid.
He stared at the tank-shaped object with a mechanized structure and a transparent outer wall in his hand, and he could see the mechanical fluid flowing inside.
Just by looking at the appearance, no one would have guessed that this was something that could resurrect people.
Although Chen Ming didn't know whether this jar of resurrection liquid was still effective and whether it could resurrect humans, if there was no problem with Chen Ming's spiritual power, this thing would have such an effect.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming felt even more bizarre.
If this thing was researched by the empire, it would definitely have come from the Fanchao Research Institute.
It's not possible to come out of any ordinary-looking laboratory on a border.
But Shining Civilization has really become this situation.
It's extremely puzzling.
Maybe when Chen Ming has time to go to the Shining Civilization Research Institute later, he can learn something about it.
Now...
Before Chen Ming was about to put away the resurrection mechanical fluid, he suddenly remembered something his boss had said to him.
Some words about a person the boss once knew who was called a "little lunatic" by the boss.
Chen Ming didn't know much about this little lunatic.
But when the boss talked about this little lunatic, his tone was very nostalgic and regretful. He seemed to be dead.
With this resurrection mechanical fluid...
Chen Ming thought about it and made a decision.
After a few minutes.
The hardware store on the pirate space station.
The boss took out his ears and asked Chen Ming: "What did you say you got?"
"Resurrection mechanical liquid can resurrect a person as long as there is a corpse."
After the boss was shocked, he returned to his usual self: "Oh, then why are you telling me this?"
"Because you said something about a person called Little Madman before."
The boss was stunned for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "You still remember what I said casually..."
"He..."
"I told you before that I like to look for people to train everywhere, and he is the last person I trained."
"He may be dead. At least when I found him, I only saw a little bit of burnt ashes."
"I don't know if that's him, but...you have to try, right?"
The boss suddenly sighed: "This is also one of the reasons why I left the prosperous star field of the empire that I didn't tell you before."
"So how did he die?"
"I don't know if you've heard of something that happened decades ago."
"Several Death torpedoes used by frigates sank the capital ship."
