Chapter 365 Little Madman
Chen Ming found the memory about the Death Torpedo from the corner of his memory.
Thinking back to everything in the past, a question gradually came to his mind.
There seems to be something wrong with the Death Torpedo, right?
Three years ago, Chen Ming got a death torpedo when he first arrived in the pirate space.
Its power is indeed great, but that is compared to a frigate that can launch death torpedoes. This power may threaten cruisers, but it is absolutely impossible to sink a capital ship.
Capital ships can withstand attacks from main-level weapons.
No matter how many Death torpedoes it is, it is unlikely that it will even break through the battleship's own shield. How can it really threaten the battleship, let alone sink it.
Moreover, in Chen Ming's impression, the battleship that was sunk was the battleship of a military in a star field.
There are two common models of the army's capital ships, the offensive class and the legion class. The armor strength is very high. It can even directly use the armor to resist the direct hit of the afterglow microsievert-class optical radiation cannon. How could it be killed by the god of death? Torpedoed and sunk?
Even if it is a battleship that has been severely damaged, the death torpedo will not be the last straw, right?
What's more, Chen Ming remembered that this incident happened during an encirclement and suppression operation against pirates.
What pirate can severely damage a capital ship?
Although it is true that pirates who can force the army to dispatch capital ships to encircle and suppress pirates may be quite powerful, but even so, it will not really happen that the capital ship is sunk by pirates, right?
At the beginning, Chen Ming did not have enough knowledge and understanding of battleships.
So he just listened to the story. Anyway, the death torpedo at that time was quite useful, and it happened to save his life when the afterglow invaded.
But looking back now, it seems strange.
However, Chen Ming still temporarily ignored the problem of how the Death torpedo sank the battleship.
Let’s first look at the situation of the little lunatic the boss mentioned.
Chen Ming thought for a while and realized that the little madman should not be the one who died on the battleship, but the one who sank the battleship.
The reason why the boss was able to move to such an inhospitable place must be because he had a conflict with some powerful forces in the empire.
Combining the above, the answer is already obvious.
Chen Ming asked: "So... that little madman is a pirate? And he also had a conflict with the army somewhere?"
"Yes." The boss replied simply and clearly.
Chen Ming asked again: "And he is still a psyker, otherwise it would be impossible for the Death torpedo to sink the battleship?"
"That's right, his psychic effects are very aggressive. Any damage caused directly or indirectly by him can be amplified by his psychic powers. The specific extent of the amplification... you can see that the death torpedo can sink the battleship. .”
"So he had a conflict with the army, which eventually led to the sinking of a battleship of the army, and he also died in that battle?"
"That's pretty much it."
A few simple questions allowed Chen Ming to roughly figure out what had happened.
The last person the boss trained, the man called the Little Madman, was a pirate, or became a pirate for some reason.
Not only was he the leader of the pirates, he was at least an important figure.
On one day, a large-scale conflict broke out, and the pirates were eventually surrounded and suppressed. However, a mothership of the local army was sunk by a death torpedo that had an unknown number of times of increase in power through psychic energy.
You can't tell anyone about the psychic.
So the army had no choice but to suffer this humiliation and treat a psyker's matter as an ordinary pirate's matter, leading to a shocking scandal.
Although in the eyes of people who know the existence of psykers, this is just a normal loss when encircling and suppressing psykers.
However, the news could not be completely suppressed due to the huge amount of movement.
In the end, in the eyes of ordinary people who learned part of the situation, the army was simply useless.
In a more serious matter, this matter means that the army's capital ship was sunk. This not only lost the face of the star region army whose battleship was sunk, but also lost the face of the army everywhere.
The person who caused this situation happened to be trained by the boss...
Whether it is the contradiction that led to the scandal of the birth of the army, or the contradiction that caused the death of a little lunatic because of the army.
In short, it is impossible for the boss to stay in the prosperous star field.
This also explains why when Chen Minggang met his boss, his boss had no interaction with the local army and had no idea of intersection.
On the contrary, it is a little closer to the follow-up of the Fourteenth Legion, which was only rebuilt more than ten years ago.
Although this is due to the relationship between Chen Ming and Bai Quan, it must also be due to the conflict decades ago.
As a level 6 psyker, the empire certainly can’t bring the boss to justice just because the people he trained have caused trouble, but it’s also impossible not to take care of the mood of the empire’s own army, so...
It can only be said that Chen Ming has experienced a lot of things, and of course he can understand why the boss is here.
After explaining to Chen Ming roughly what happened in the past, the boss seemed a little nervous.
After all, the effect of what Chen Ming brought back is there, and no matter who uses it, the emotion will be the same.
The boss quickly calmed down his emotions, put his hand on Chen Ming's shoulder, and said solemnly: "I have to go out in the next few days. I will tell you the results as soon as possible."
"Thank you."
After a few minutes.
Chen Ming leaves from his boss.
After taking care of these extra things, it was time to start the real thing he wanted to do.
Chen Ming made a little plan for himself and divided what he wanted to do into two parts: internal and external.
Externally, that is, the manufacturing of new capital ships that he had just thought about.
Of course, Chen Ming first had to figure out the feasibility of this research project.
It is not the feasibility that Ming knows he knows, but the reasonable feasibility that he wants others to believe when he seeks cooperation with others.
It shouldn't be a big problem.
The semi-biological and semi-mechanical technology he has mastered has already been put into preliminary use.
As long as the technology is shared and a little experimentation is done, it can be confirmed that the technology he masters is completely fine.
Chen Ming doesn't mind sharing his technology. Technology itself can only progress if it is shared.
He doesn't know how to do his own research, so it is obviously more efficient to share it with other people for help.
And the reason why sharing is called sharing is because others will share technologies that Chen Ming does not have.
Chen Ming will definitely not lose money.
Of course, Chen Ming will also let An Wuping get involved in this matter, so that he can help him explain why he has mastered certain biotechnology.
It can also help Chen Ming explain why he deliberately took away a lot of biotechnology information from the empire some time ago.
An Wuping's existence can also help Chen Ming say some things that are difficult for him to say.
As for An Wuping's own biotechnology and part of the ship design technology.
Chen Ming can also explain it by saying that he personally taught him to help the peaceful Zerg master the ship manufacturing technology.
In short, as long as Chen Ming's acting skills are good enough, An Wuping's participation will only be beneficial.
And he believed that when he placed the body of the phase beast leader in front of the people he wanted to invite, even if his idea was not feasible, someone would try their best to make his idea feasible.
However, Chen Ming felt that he still needed to consider another issue.
That is, the development direction of the military's ship technology is basically biased towards frontal combat.
Therefore, when designing ships, the frontal armor, frontal firepower, and coordination with other ships on the frontal battlefield of the military ships are all factors that play a large role in the design of the ship.
Not to mention the Fourteenth Legion.
The Fourteenth Legion has several different types of ships, even capital ships, that have been specially modified.
These ships that have been transformed by the Fourteenth Legion often have larger hulls, thicker armor, and more powerful frontal firepower than ordinary models.
Chen Ming even knew that some of the phase ships that had been developed by the legion had spaces left for those military armors.
It made Chen Ming a little worried that he would be led astray if he only communicated with the Legion to design the direction of his ship.
The final design of the boat would deviate somewhat from his ideas.
The capital ship he wants must not be military-oriented.
Although he will find the Ship Research Institute and the Psionics Research Institute when the time comes, he will also bring in the Biology Research Institute to collaborate on research and development.
By the way, he would go to relevant departments, but he couldn't guarantee whether other research institutes would have the same habit.
So Chen Ming felt that he had better find other people, not people from the legion or the army, to participate in his project.
But he was cooperating with the legion. He wanted to borrow the legion's facilities, resources and information, so it would be unreasonable to find someone else.
This gave him a little headache.
But Chen Ming thought about it carefully.
Suddenly I had a new idea.
That's where he could use his extraordinary institute a little bit.
Although the Extraordinary Research Institute is affiliated to the Fourteenth Legion, and is currently labeled as researching "psionic energy", "machine family" and "special devices".
But this does not mean that his research institute can only cooperate with the Legion's research institute, or can only study these things.
He can definitely invite other research departments to collaborate on a new project in the name of his institute.
This should be the most appropriate approach.
Although Chen Ming is the only person in the entire Chaozhou Research Institute who can participate in this project, after all, when he was recruited by the research institute, none of them were studying spaceships.
But anyway, he just wanted a reason, so it wasn't impossible.
This way he can also invite more people to participate.
For example, Sinda Company.
Since the last time the chairman came to Chen Ming's engagement party and the relationship with Chen Ming has eased, Chen Ming believes that the research institute at Sinda Company should be very willing to invest resources and participate in the research project initiated by Chen Mingxin.< br>
Although Sinda Company does not have phase technology and has mass-produced many ships, it is a relatively commercial research institute.
But Chen Ming still likes the Xinda Company's ship itself, and it is very easy to use.
In addition, although Sindar Company has not mastered phase ship technology, it has mastered capital ship level technology, and can also participate in the design of capital ships in this regard.
You must know that Chen Ming has not yet completely mastered the technology of the battleship level.
Looking for more different people to brainstorm ideas is definitely the right idea.
Anyway, with the corpse of the phase beast leader lying there, and the half-biological, half-mechanical technology that Chen Ming was willing to give out, he shouldn't have to worry about finding anyone to cooperate.
Tachyon Technology and even Fanchao Research Institute may be able to recruit some people.
The process of developing this capital ship may last several months or several years.
Anyway, Chen Ming was in no hurry.
After he finished fighting the machine race, he had nothing important to do. He had plenty of time to study and build this special phase battleship himself.
As for everyone else.
Although the war between the empire and the machine race has essentially ended, the war process will continue.
During the war, no matter which force it is, there is a great desire to research weapons for war. Even if the final research results are clear, the technologies developed midway are real.
For those who spend many years in the research institute, this little time should be nothing.
The design of the new battleship is considered an external matter in Chen Ming's plan.
And internal things.
This means that Chen Ming has finally determined the limit of his own abilities.
Of course, what Chen Ming was referring to was that the fusion of his three powers would allow him to see the limit, not that he had already reached the limit.
And this limit also refers to the limit of ability, not the limit of strength.
Therefore, Chen Ming felt it was time.
It's time to start systematically learning knowledge related to psionic energy.
Chen Ming has always followed the barbaric growth path of psychic associations.
Rely on your own understanding and a very small but critical amount of guidance to become stronger.
This allows him to fully utilize his talents and potential, and also allows him to have some deviations in his understanding of some systematic knowledge.
There are basically errors and omissions in the understanding of some details of psychic powers, or knowledge that is irrelevant to one's own psychic powers, as well as some more complicated psychic knowledge.
Therefore, when a psyker's ability is developed to its limit, or when a psyker can see his own limit like Chen Ming does now.
Systematic learning is very necessary.
These problems can all be corrected through systematic study.
It is equivalent to making up for all Chen Ming's own shortcomings in spiritual energy.
Moreover, the knowledge of psychic powers is not just what Chen Ming himself has been exposed to. It should also take a long time to learn.
Therefore, Chen Ming felt that it was time for him to restrain himself and be quiet for a while.
He needs to study formally and learn serious spiritual knowledge.
So Chen Ming sent a message directly to the president and asked if he had any connections specifically for him as a teacher or something.
The president responded quickly and said it was not necessary.
He directly sent a bunch of information to Chen Ming and asked Chen Ming to learn it on his own.
When it comes to finding a teacher, let’s not talk about who will come. Who dares to be Chen Ming’s teacher? It’s just that the teacher’s teaching efficiency may not even be as high as Chen Ming’s self-study efficiency.
Anyway, if you think about the difference between Chen Ming before and now, you will know what level Chen Ming's learning ability is.
Just ask if you encounter something you really don’t understand. Whether it’s the president or the boss, you can ask.
After all, no one can be Chen Ming's teacher.
Chen Ming has no problem with that. Self-study and learning from others are nothing more than whether you can gain some extra experience while studying.
Just like he learned commanding techniques from Baiquan, he will always bring some of Baiquan's conducting style to his final command.
Of course, this is not a disadvantage. Although Bai Quan has a lieutenant general as his adoptive father, he has indeed fought all the way from the grassroots to the lieutenant general level. There is no problem in learning some of Bai Quan's command skills and style.
Moreover, Chen Ming basically doesn't use these techniques when he actually fights. Most of the time, he relies on sheer force to defeat them.
command? What is that? At most, he can adjust the tactics a little bit in the overall situation. There is really no such thing as command during the actual fight.
However, this kind of thing is not very good when it comes to spiritual energy.
The president is not mainly worried that Chen Ming will be influenced by the teacher when he is learning psychic powers.
But I am worried that the teacher will be influenced by Chen Ming when he teaches Chen Ming.
In short, let Chen Ming learn it slowly.
Anyway, now he not only has to learn psychic things, but also capital ship technology, various battleships, construction and use technology of giant structures, various biological technologies, etc.
Not bad at all.
Chen Ming didn't feel there was any problem. After getting all the information, he went about his business.
He first spent two days preparing resources that were attractive enough to lure different departments into participating in his idea.
Then, I went to find Baiquan.
Bai Quan stayed at the distribution command center as usual. He temporarily took over the work of Qiu Bowen, who had gone to who knows where in the past two days.
When Chen Ming saw him, he found that his expression was a little worried.
Chen Ming didn't think much, sat down next to him and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't the situation pretty good recently?"
After Chen Ming crushed all the main forces of the Machinery Clan, the war between the Empire and the Machinery Clan really became one-sided.
The battle between the empire and the machine race is a simple mode. An empire cannot lose when facing a star field.
Coupled with Chen Ming's troubles behind the scenes, it would be strange for the Machine Tribe to win.
Chen Ming has also seen a lot of good news in the past two days.
It basically includes where the victory was, who achieved the results in which places, and which psychics achieved meritorious deeds in the war.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can make Bai Quan show such an expression.
Bai Quan explained: "The front line is indeed fine overall, but the main problem is the rear."
"Corruption occurred in the rear, which led to the failure of the war here."
Bai Quan pointed on the screen in front of him and told Chen Ming the location where the battle was lost.
It can only be said that the empire has never been monolithic.
Of course there are dark places where there is light.
It is too common for people to work secretly and secretly to make war fortune.
But what does this have to do with Chen Ming?
There is no need for him to have nothing to do with this. The empire will handle the empire’s affairs by itself.
If it is handled well, the empire can still have a second life. If it is not handled well, the empire will be buried with the machine clan.
Of course, there are some things that Chen Ming still wants to ask out of curiosity.
"Do you have any thoughts on the news I announced yesterday?"
He is still quite curious about what kind of decisions the empire will make in the face of natural disasters.
"I heard that they take it very seriously and are ready to start doing something big."
"The empire can have no newborns for twenty years, but it cannot have no newborns for two hundred years. It must find a way to avoid the sequelae of dimension infection."
"Didn't you happen to point out a way before? That phase space."
Phase space will only cause the spacecraft's radiant energy to be unable to be dissipated.
Others basically have no impact, so Chen Ming's Zerg warships can attack the machines in phase space at will.
Therefore, it is feasible to consider ways to move the Empire to phase space.
Phase space can actively affect the normal universe, and things in the normal universe can also be used normally, but existence in the normal universe cannot see the phase space.
Others have no effect.
In fact, Chen Ming also thought about stuffing the Zerg into the phase space and expanding from the phase space.
But Chen Ming always felt something wasn't right if he did this. Part of the dimensional power he controlled made him a little repelled by such an approach, so he didn't do it in the end.
Of course, if the empire does this, Chen Ming will not stop it. After all, this is the only way to prevent the sequelae of dimensional infection.
Chen Ming nodded with understanding and said, "Let's stop chatting. I'm here to talk to you about something."
"What happened?"
"My extraordinary research institute wants to apply for a project to cooperate with external organizations."
Bai Quan's serious expression just now suddenly collapsed: "Don't apply for this kind of thing with nothing to do. If you just do it, it will be over."
"Doesn't this involve the outside world and other research institutes in the legion? I'm worried about being rejected."
"Why did the Legion refuse?"
Bai Quan asked: "I know how important it is to get the body of the leader of the giant phase beast. Do you think anyone will refuse?"
"And when you are working on a project, you will always come up with some new technologies and various new things, right? No one will refuse."
"If you have anything to say to Legion, it's fine. You also know that there are many people who are trying to curry favor with you now and it's too late."
"If you have any requests, just ask them, and any legion that can do it will help you do it."
"Oh, then I'll just say it..."
"No, I'll give you a phone number and you can find someone to discuss it yourself."
"Okay."
Two days later.
Chen Ming has already contacted most of the organizations and people he wants to invite.
And also rented an additional laboratory here at the legion headquarters.
Started preparations before the project started.
And just today, it seemed that the boss, who had been away from the hardware store for a few days, finally got news and asked Chen Ming to come over.
There was nothing to say to Chen Ming, so he just passed by.
Entering the hardware store.
Chen Ming saw the resurrection mechanical fluid he gave him on the table in front of his boss. It must have failed to use.
But the boss's face was not one of disappointment, but a smile.
Chen Ming said hello and asked: "How is the situation?"
"It's good. When resurrected, this device will first prompt the resurrected person's genome and appearance after resurrection."
"The body I found was not the body of a lunatic."
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: "Um... is it possible..."
"No."
The boss directly denied it: "If there is no body of the little lunatic in the place I found, then he must still be alive."
"Everyone thought he was dead, but he wasn't dead yet, at least not at that time, but I don't know where he is now."
"Just take this back."
Although the use of the resurrection mechanical fluid failed, it can be regarded as settling the boss's worry.
Chen Ming put away the resurrection mechanical fluid, chatted with the boss for a few words, and then left.
So far.
He really had almost everything taken care of.
You can really devote yourself to the long process of research and learning.
