Chapter 376 Means
The robot controlled by Chen Ming appeared next to the corpse of the Plane Nightmare floating in the orbit of Gaia star in an instant.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the skin of the corpse. Feeling the pull of gravity originating from the body of the Nightmare of the Planes, he covered the corpse with psychic energy waves and moved the psychic energy waves from the outside to the inside. It went in a little deeper.
Starting from the smallest details, he thoroughly observed what kind of existence the Nightmare of the Plane is.
In addition to investigating during this process, Chen Ming is also using one of the most original properties of his spiritual energy, that is, the part of the power that belongs to the mental rampage entity, swallowing up the power that belongs to the nightmare of the plane, and Chen Ming's power. That part of dimensional power that belongs to the same origin.
And gradually become familiar with this power and gradually master it.
Soon after, Chen Ming pulled his own spiritual energy waves away from the corpse, and also pulled out the power of the nightmare of the plane that he had swallowed, and stuffed it back into the corpse.
He doesn't need this power, he just needs the way to use this power.
Chen Ming clenched his fist.
Once again familiar with the operating principles of this new power model, he immediately came to the wormhole of the origin galaxy.
He released the space locking device that he had personally installed here to prevent things on the other end of the wormhole from approaching.
He released his own spiritual energy waves in the direction of the wormhole, wrapping it around the wormhole like a chain.
His psychic energy fluctuations have replaced the space locking device, and he is using the power of the Nightmare of Planes to tear apart dimensions to reversely lock wormholes, an existence that is related to dimensional power.
He gradually stabilized the wormhole, making it smoother than before and more suitable for spacecraft to travel through.
This is the new power Chen Ming has mastered.
And not only wormholes, but anything related to his dimension, his power can show greater stability than before.
Even if there is a gap in the repair space, he can repair it better than before, making it more difficult to break through.
Chen Ming put away his own strength and installed the space locking device back again.
Although it is said that his psychic energy can always be effective as long as it is maintained, it can replace all the functions of the space locking device, and even has some additional functions.
But an extra layer of insurance wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Chen Ming doesn't mind the trouble.
After all, the value of a stable wormhole is very special.
Wormholes naturally exist in the universe, connecting two areas in the universe that are out of reach. It does not require a large amount of resources to be activated like a star gate. The value of just connecting the two areas is already very high. .
Not to mention that Chen Ming's wormhole even directly connects to the outside of the observable universe, not to mention its value.
It’s just that there are almost no natural wormholes in the empire at present.
Most of the wormholes have their singularities extracted and used to create star gates.
The reason for doing this without leaving some existing natural wormholes is very simple.
There are also downsides to wormholes themselves.
For example, the location is not good.
If the location of two connected wormholes is not good and there is not much need for communication, then the wormholes will be meaningless.
It is better to extract the singularity and create the star gate manually.
In this way, the empire can also carry out overall control and try to ensure that each star field has at least one star gate.
Artificial star gates can also be connected to each other, unlike natural wormholes that can only shuttle between two wormholes.
Moreover, natural wormholes are not stable enough, and there is a high risk of traveling through them.
No one can guarantee that there will be no problems with wormholes.
If something goes wrong, the battleship may be trapped inside.
Of course, these problems are not problems for Chen Ming's wormhole, and Chen Ming can solve them.
The problem is the other side of the wormhole.
The wormhole on the other side ran away after the Plane Nightmare in the black hole was killed.
Chen Ming currently sent a small fleet to track it.
I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, it should be possible.
The good thing is that the wormhole can stay away from the black hole in the future, and if the wormhole at that end enters a normal galaxy in the future, even a not-so-good galaxy, it can still allow people to settle down and build a new base.
And it obviously won't work if the wormhole continues to stay near the black hole.
But the disadvantage of this is that Chen Ming doesn't know where the wormhole will end up.
Although the movement of the wormhole already has a direction, there is also a galaxy in this direction.
But who knows whether the wormhole will stay in that galaxy, or whether, like the black hole, it will stay for a while and then continue to leave towards the next galaxy.
The conditions of this wormhole are truly unheard of.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being called the other end of the wormhole that can be called a wonder of the universe. If it does not come out with some flowers, it will simply be unworthy of its name as a wonder of the universe.
At present, it seems that it will take about two days for this wormhole to reach the first galaxy that coincides with its trajectory.
Chen Ming had already planned to go and take a look before the wormhole to find out what was there.
What special existence attracted it, or was it because the Nightmare of the Planes used its own power to attract the wormhole, and now the wormhole is just returning to its original position.
Anyway, he had to investigate.
But don't worry, this matter can wait a little longer.
Because he still has more things waiting for him to do.
For example, he had to deal with the body of the Plane Nightmare that was still floating in the orbit of Gaia.
With such a big thing just sitting there, you can't really just look at it, right?
Chen Ming has already thought of its specific use, but still needs some small preparations.
He can do this later while doing other things.
As for the specific content of other things.
Chen Mingde needs to report the test results of the weapons he borrowed from several departments. Those data are important data that will determine the direction of future weapons research.
He still has to talk to the researchers who built the shaped arc launcher about cooperation. This kind of weapon, which can perform quite well as long as the quantity increases, is simply tailor-made for him.
In addition, the meeting triggered by the news he brought back about the remnants of the Shining Civilization seemed to be about the same.
Basically everything has been discussed.
Chen Ming remembered all the content of the discussion, and there was a lot of content that had nothing to do with him.
It seems to be related to the communicator.
However, after the discussion at the meeting about continuing to let Chen Ming hold the communicator, everyone basically had no objections. There really was no objection.
The exchanges between civilizations will never be friendly, especially when one civilization has gone from its peak to the bottom, while another civilization is emerging from stagnation.
What a civilization in such a state would do is anyone's guess.
So after the discussion, almost everyone who participated in the meeting did not believe that the human empire and the shining civilization would coexist peacefully if they collided directly.
But there are different things to consider between civilizations and individuals from other civilizations, especially between individuals who have the ability to destroy a civilization.
Individuals have feelings.
There would be less for the Empire to think about, since Chen Ming's ass would always be on the human side.
Moreover, Chen Ming was also willing to listen to other people's suggestions during some of his unprofessional time, and even offered to find someone capable in this area to guide the content of the conversation.
Therefore, the empire has no objection to Chen Ming's willingness to hold the communicator and be responsible for the subsequent communication.
As for Shining, they have to consider many things other than interests.
Not only the empire's attitude towards them needs to be considered, but also Chen Ming's attitude.
They must be more careful when communicating with Chen Ming and let go of their pride in shining civilization.
No matter what their purpose is, it is absolutely right to please Chen Ming, who has the power to communicate with them.
After the meeting, Chen Ming spent quite some time dealing with the survivors' follow-up matters.
Even if the meeting is over, there are still many people and many things that need to be discussed with Chen Ming in private.
Chen Ming also received guidance from various professionals who specialize in culture, language, civilization and other fields.
They guided Chen Ming on how to communicate with the survivors of Shining Civilization in the future. They also gave Chen Ming some templates. At least he would not make mistakes if he directly used the templates when communicating.
They even helped Chen Ming make a list of clichés, specifically used to trick survivors, to see if there was any chance to directly learn more about the Shining Civilization without going through transactions with survivors.
Of course, it’s okay not to fit it, after all, not all dialogues can be fit into the template.
Moreover, clichés only speed up the progress of some trials and do not have much meaning or impact.
Anyway, from Chen Ming's current perspective, no matter who it is in the empire, or even himself, the matter regarding the survivors does not actually have the idea of obtaining the information through normal transactions.
But some more efficient and faster ways to obtain this information.
It's just that the survivor hid very well, and Chen Ming couldn't even try to track it.
Therefore, for the time being, it is better to communicate and trade with the survivors normally.
But once there is an opportunity to seize the survivors, neither the empire nor Chen Ming will miss it.
After being busy with the survivors for a long time.
Chen Ming finally returned to the space station of the research institute in the galaxy where he rented.
And the first thing he did after returning to the space station.
Then he ran back to his office, packaged the weapons research data and sent it to the project teams that provided the weapons. By the way, he sent an exchange plan about arc weapons to the ship research institute of the headquarters.
At the same time, he began to write a document.
The file records various information about the Nightmare of the Planes.
Including that it is a psychic species, has the ability to control gravity, is very powerful in combat, is relatively ugly, and so on.
Even if people have not actually come into contact with the Plane Nightmare, they can have a basic understanding of it. They can also know that this is an unprecedentedly powerful species that the empire has never encountered before, and it involves a variety of complicated technologies and possesses extremely high High research value.
And Chen Ming also attached the file with records of several battles with it. It can be seen that in addition to controlling gravity and spiritual energy, it even has the ability to tear apart space barriers.
Of course, Chen Ming deliberately concealed some information.
It was the news that the Nightmare of the Plane was dead and his body was completely recovered by him.
However, Chen Ming did bring back the severed limb that he had broken in the first wave of raids.
A new area has been specially arranged for placement, and various facilities that may be used have been scheduled. Anyone with a little bit of ability would notice Chen Ming's little move.
He then sent this document to all members of the institute who were involved in the project, and asked everyone if they were interested in participating in the new project.
The new project was not clearly stated, but he was certainly referring to the research project on the limbs of the Nightmare of the Plane.
As a result, Chen Ming immediately received hundreds of replies waiting for him to process.
He immediately made a list and began to select people suitable to participate in the project based on each person's profile.
All capable people should be allowed, but if he is an important member of Chen Ming's capital ship project, he will first confirm whether the person has the ability to take care of both projects at the same time.
If it doesn't work, just refuse, but even if he refuses, the fact that he slightly hinted at the corpse of the Nightmare of the Plane in his reply can be regarded as a little trick on his part to attract people.
Although the development behind the wormhole is temporarily blocked, there are not so many messy things in front of the wormhole.
The well-planned research colony that Brilliance coordinated and constructed is developing bit by bit.
With almost unlimited resources and technical support, it is absolutely no problem to build a research center that Chen Ming needs to meet his research direction.
As the research center is built, of course, it will provide infrastructure for those who may join the research center in the future.
We have a research center and supporting facilities, and all that remains is to recruit people.
Relying on these free resources and various luxuries, you can also research the corpses of Planar Nightmare.
It shouldn’t be a big problem to increase the attractiveness of Gaia and attract some professional researchers.
Although it is said that the psykers from the Psychic Research Institute may not be able to be completely attracted.
After all, at the headquarters of the Psychic Research Institute, there is a fairy tree that blocks out the sky and the sun, which is very terrifying for psykers.
Even Chen Ming would occasionally go to the Psychic Research Institute to feel the spiritual comfort of the ancient fairy tree, and secretly learn how to cultivate the fairy tree.
After all, he also has a fairy tree. Although it is only half a person tall now, he also wants to cultivate the fairy tree to the size of a psychic research institute.
Just when Chen Ming was selecting the current person in his hands and thinking about the future in his mind.
The two directors, who cooperated more with Chen Ming, suddenly opened the door of Chen Ming's office and barged in.
After coming in, the two old men sat on the sofa without saying a word.
When working on projects, Chen Ming always put aside his identity and just regarded himself as an ordinary researcher.
When getting along with other people, at least with the two directors, there aren't too many rules.
On the contrary, it was very casual.
So Chen Ming didn't care what the two of them were doing, and continued to pick the people he needed with his head covered.
As a result, the psychic director saw that Chen Ming was ignoring him, and he found a box of fairy leaves from the cabinet next to him and made himself a cup of tea.
While drinking, he would cough from time to time to attract Chen Ming's attention.
Now Chen Ming knew why the two of them were here.
It is normal for poaching to be discovered.
But he pretended not to see it and continued to send replies to people who were willing to participate in new projects.
Wait until everyone is almost done.
He finally looked up and asked: "What are you doing?"
The captain of the ship spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know what he was here for.
He pointed at the psychic director next to him, indicating that he had brought him here.
The psychic director drank tea and said to Chen Ming in a dull voice: "I know what you want to do."
Chen Ming asked: "What do I want to do?"
"Poaching."
"First release the severed limb to the entire project, and then when the time is up, release the news that you have the complete body. A group of people will definitely come to your side."
Chen Ming shrugged. He didn't deliberately conceal the matter. It was normal for someone who had been poached to come and cause trouble for Chen Ming.
But Chen Ming also thought of a way to deal with it.
"It's just academic exchange."
"The journey is a bit far, so it makes sense for me to prepare a place for them to stay when the time comes, right?"
"My environment is good and there are many resources. If people want to stay, that's their business."
"That's the truth." The psychic director said, "But the procedures for your colony..."
"My colony has been declared as a legal colony."
Chen Ming said, and directly took out a paper document that he had obtained some time ago before the colony came out.
It is the registration document of a colony.
Although most of the space above is still empty, the seal of the Imperial Colonial Development Department has been stamped on it.
The various empty spaces above can be filled in at will. As long as he fills them in, his colony will be a legal colony.
The minister of psychic energy stared at the document for a long time and asked: "Why don't I remember that there is still a law that allows legal colonies to be established outside the empire."
"Because it is the law of development."
The psychic director almost spit out his tea.
The Law of Colonization was a law that the empire promised various benefits in order to encourage colonization, and the management of colonization by pioneers was very loose.
But after the end of the pioneering era, it gradually fell out of use.
As a result, Chen Ming suddenly said this, which was strange to him.
It’s just that although what Chen Ming said sounded ridiculous at first glance, it was actually okay.
Restarting the pioneering era is already the general direction for the future decided by the imperial ruling class.
The restart of the Pioneering Law is also a certainty.
As long as the war with the machine race is over, the empire will take its steps again.
Even if the pioneering era is not restarted, Chen Ming still has the ability to ask the empire for such documents.
This is the privilege that Chen Ming has.
Chen Ming continued to say to the director of psychic energy: "And you have to know that my place is quite far away from the empire, and the sequelae of the dimensional infection will not reach there for the time being."
"In my place, people can give birth to the next generation normally."
Although with the development of cryo-sleep technology, the age gap between people in the empire has caused irreparable damage to some of the closer relationships.
And marriage is no longer a fixed process before secular reproduction.
Although it will not disappear, the public does not pay much attention to these.
To be precise, people in areas with a relatively high degree of development do not pay attention to it.
Some underdeveloped areas still attach great importance to these. After all, the people in these places do not have many opportunities to leave their home planet, nor do they have many opportunities to use cryo-sleep technology.
Other high-ranking officials in the empire also attach great importance to these relationships. For example, Chen Ming himself was considered to be valued and was dragged into the marriage.
After all, power can benefit those around you, and a social circle of power is more stable than a single source of power.
However, reproduction is the instinct of living things.
The vast majority of people are willing to leave their descendants, but if the conditions are not suitable, it is okay not to leave them.
Just like now, the entire empire is still affected by the sequelae of dimensional infection, but as the empire is improving overall, it is not too serious.
It is precisely because of this that the empire did not collapse directly due to the sequelae of dimension infection when it was plagued by twilight.
But that's because the conditions weren't right.
Since Chen Ming’s site can meet some people’s needs and conditions, why not go there?
Therefore, Chen Ming’s colony is very attractive to many young researchers.
There is even a certain amount of blessing from the law of development.
For a while, it was hard for the Director of Psychic Power to imagine how many people would follow Chen Ming and run away if Chen Ming really released the news about what he could provide.
He had followed Chen Ming to the vicinity of the wormhole and saw what kind of preparations Chen Ming had made.
So he was worried.
And Chen Ming continued to add: "And I can open the star gate 24 hours a day."
"Twenty-four hours?"
"Yes, I have the resources to open the star gate like this."
"There is also a star gate over at the headquarters. It only takes ten minutes to get to my place, which is faster than running back and forth in the research institute."
"I can go back anytime I want, I won't put any restrictions."
Although Chen Ming said so.
But the director of psychic energy knows that everyone knows that the world behind the wormhole contains countless unknown things. How many people will really come back after going there?
Although Chen Ming has opened up the passage of communication, if he really goes there and comes back, his weight in Chen Ming's heart will definitely be reduced.
Is anyone really willing to bear the cost of repeated horizontal jumps?
Seeing that the psychic director seemed to be thinking deeply about something, Chen Ming continued: "In addition, the climate in my colony is quite good, and do you still remember the fairy tree I took away before? It has already started. ”
"I remember you are quite old, right? If you want to find a place to retire, I will..."
"Stop."
The psychic director quickly waved his hand and said: "Are you still trying to pry me?"
"You have to try, right?"
"Actually, I don't necessarily want to steal people from the legion and you guys. It's just that the capable people I know are all in the legion, and the people I contact outside are not very familiar..."
The psychic director had absolutely nothing to do with Chen Ming. When he saw this, he walked down the steps and said softly: "I will help you find the right one. When the time comes, you can judge by yourself and stop trying to steal my people."
"No problem."
