Chapter 393 Accident, Force, Choice
Chen Ming saw what Tian Xiang did after he left.
His protective measures for the fairy tree are far stricter than anyone imagined.
But he didn't stop.
The fairy tree is most vulnerable only when it has just grown into a sapling.
When it has grown into a tree, it is already a powerful psychic creature.
Burying a small stone under the tree will not have any effect on the fairy tree.
But Tian Zhang's behavior is likely to be his spiritual sustenance for a long time in the future.
So Chen Ming let him do it.
He is still very optimistic about Tian Xian's ability, the projects he is currently working on, and his future ideas.
Chen Ming is never stingy with such people, no matter in any aspect.
Time passes day by day.
The development level of the two core galaxies in Chen Ming's hands is getting closer and closer to the galaxies in the real prosperous star field, and they are still developing in the direction Chen Ming wants.
More and more people in the empire have learned about the Origin Galaxy.
Learned about the four types of Leviathan in the Origin Galaxy.
Scavenger robots, planar nightmares, astral eaters, and the jellyfish Leviathan named "Ghost" that the survivors took the initiative to mention in a transaction.
In addition to the scavengers who have to work, each one has a corresponding scientific research space station. Each space station project brings Chen Ming income from scientific research results and continues to attract high-level scientific research talents.
Which researcher with ideals and pursuits can refuse a behemoth that has never been understood in the empire?
During this period, each space station has grown from hundreds to thousands of people to tens of thousands.
As long as Leviathan's corpse exists, there will be a steady stream of research projects unearthed from it.
And contribute to Chen Ming’s scientific research center.
And on the other side of the wormhole is the Gaia galaxy.
On planets other than Gaia, several industrial colonies have been built and put into operation.
Several other planets are not like Gaia and need to be inhabited in the future.
Therefore, as the star material in the astrophagocoid was returned and the climate of the galaxy recovered, Chen Ming asked scavengers to build all the industrial colonies at once in advance.
It’s a way to test the basic functions of the scavenger.
Afterglow cores were immediately installed on these colonies, which can be used to develop resources on the planet.
The next step is to start exploring the surrounding galaxies and build new colonies.
Chen Mingming did not allow the Zerg to intervene in these matters, which resulted in a low overall resource development efficiency.
But the problem is not big. When he is really short of manpower, he will do what needs to be done.
Just when everything was thriving.
Located in the laboratory of the Negative Matter Research Group on the Gaia satellite.
The deputy team leader was in the team leader's office and said to the team leader: "Team leader, there is an experiment that needs your attention that has just begun..."
The team leader waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'll be back soon. If you have any questions, just leave them aside for now. If it doesn't work, just pause the experiment. I have important things."
The deputy leader wanted to say that there is anything more important than the experiment now.
Obviously, due to the large-scale leakage of negative matter and the large-scale fusion of satellites, the planet is in a very special state and is worthy of study.
Not only did they have a bunch of new project teams, but their original project team of only a dozen people was forced to expand.
They old people have always been under pressure to be surpassed by newcomers.
At this time, it is even more important to continue these experiments and research. Why did the team leader suddenly have to go out during the most critical experiment?
But the deputy team leader restrained this idea.
At most, he has some status in the group, but he is not enough to be the group leader, and he is not qualified to restrict what the group leader does.
It can only be said that he followed the wrong person.
He sighed inwardly, but on the surface he still pretended that nothing happened and said: "I know."
The deputy team leader and team leader left the office one after another.
The team leader left further. He called a public shuttle boat to the wormhole space station, passed through the wormhole, and arrived at the port of the Gaia galaxy wormhole space station.
Not all spaceships on Chen Ming's territory were built by him personally.
Some researchers have certain assets themselves and do not necessarily need to call a public shuttle boat to commute.
Therefore, Chen Ming also deliberately left similar openings for the convenience of these researchers.
When the team leader went out before, he happened to leave his shuttle boat here.
The team leader quickly found his shuttle boat and sat in the driver's seat.
There is a photo frame placed in front of the driver's seat, which contains photos of a family of five including the team leader.
When he saw this photo frame, the team leader's expression suddenly changed.
His pupils were twitching, and his eyes turned from calm to confused.
He lowered his head and shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up more, but he couldn't pick himself up again. He even felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, and he was increasingly unable to control his body.
He tried his best to raise his head,
But he could only see the cosmic scene outside the shuttle boat that had taken off through his peripheral vision, as well as the countless dense sand-like objects flowing in his hands.
The tingling feeling in the palm of his hand not only did not make him feel comfortable, but also made him feel extremely panicked.
He wanted to struggle desperately, but his body was completely unable to accept any orders from him.
He only saw an extra communicator in his hand.
The team leader's confused eyes suddenly became cold, and his expression gradually became calm.
He reached out and flipped the photo onto the spacecraft console, then stretched out his hand and rubbed his face vigorously.
Slight psychic fluctuations appeared on his body, causing his face to change.
This is not that he is losing his disguise, but that the flesh and blood on his face is changing due to the influence of spiritual energy.
In the end, the team leader's face turned into an ordinary face that looked like he was in his forties or fifties.
But his eyes are deep and attractive.
If Chen Ming were here, he would immediately rise up and use all means to kill the team leader.
Because this face was exactly the face of a real brainwashed psyker that he saw in the remnants of Qianmen's consciousness after he killed Qianmen.
The team leader, or a body controlled by the current brainwashed psyker, shook the communicator in his hand and entered the coordinates that popped up on the control panel of the spacecraft.
His eyes were flat.
But it can still be seen from the slightly faster speed of operating the spacecraft that he is very curious about the survivors.
The spaceship disappeared into the universe in an instant.
at the same time.
Negative Matter Laboratory.
The deputy team leader who had just spoken to the team leader thought about it for a long time and still felt that it would be bad if something happened without the team leader watching.
So he directly called the member of the experimental team who was responsible for the practical operation today: "Today's experiment will be stopped for a moment. The team leader just left. The experiment will not start until the team leader comes back."
"Received."
The experimental team responded quickly and decisively.
The deputy team leader originally wanted to take advantage of this moment to sort out the experimental data, but after thinking about it, he was still a little worried, so he put down the data and planned to go to the experimental area of the laboratory that is isolated from the outside world.
The experimental area and the office area are now under separate domes, so a trip there would take a lot of time.
But he went anyway to be on the safe side.
Laboratory building under another dome.
Entering from the gate is the hall of the experimental area.
In the past, there was usually only one person guarding the door here.
But now there are many people standing scattered in the hall, chatting with each other about the project, and everything seems normal.
But soon, as the deputy leader glanced around, he noticed that the experimental observation area was also crowded with people.
This area is usually only open when experiments are conducted, allowing others to see the experimental process and some of the detected data that can be fully disclosed.
But usually there is nothing there, so there is no need to watch around.
He had a bad premonition and immediately rushed over and asked, "What's going on?"
Someone from the crowd surrounding the observation area immediately responded: "Experiment, did you forget there was an experiment today?"
The deputy team leader's expression changed and he looked in through the window of the isolation layer of the experimental area.
It can be seen that a small piece of the limb fragment of the Nightmare of the Plane has been transported to the experimental area, and the experiment can be started at any time according to the normal process.
He didn't dare to talk nonsense, pushed away the crowd and ran towards the experimental control room on the other side of the observation area.
He almost broke open the laboratory door and shouted inside: "What the hell are you doing!"
The team member who had just contacted him and several other team members were standing in front of the console and turned to look at him, asking the deputy team leader why he was so angry.
They seemed completely unaware of the situation.
The team member who had been in contact with the deputy team leader before Weiwei said nothing. He glanced at the deputy team leader and then turned his head back. His eyes were calm, but he seemed a little confused.
He continued to issue instructions on the console to start the experiment.
"You..."
Without any hesitation, the deputy team leader reached out and knocked on a very obvious laboratory emergency button on the wall next to him.
This is a button specially set up by Chen Ming, and can be pressed proactively when there is a problem in the laboratory experiment.
He even went out of his way to tell everyone who came here.
Just press it if you feel something is going to go wrong, and don't worry about the consequences.
Between the trouble of continued leakage of negative matter and the trouble of requiring him to come over and take a look, he chose the latter.
The alarm sounded and the laboratory's safe passage was fully opened.
The researchers who were outside immediately ran out one by one.
Only a few team members on the side of the door blocked by the deputy team leader still didn't understand the situation and stood nervously. As the deputy team leader pressed the emergency button, the operation of the experimental facility was forcibly terminated, and all experimental processes were suspended.
There are also several devices in the experimental area that release a large amount of gas that has been developed during this period and can be used to stabilize the corpse of the Nightmare of the Plane, which is used to stabilize the experimental materials after the experiment is suspended.
But for some reason, the negative matter leaked from the corpse fragments of the Plane Nightmare showed activation characteristics on the control panel. Even though a large amount of inert gas had filled the room, the negative matter could not be stopped at all. The state of substance activation.
An abnormality was detected, and the equipment in the experimental area automatically increased the release of inert gas.
At the same time, a new storage device poked out from the ground in the experimental area, capturing the corpse fragments of the Nightmare of the Plane in a vacuum isolation layer storage tank.
However.
The equipment hasn't had time to be transported yet.
A black jet pierced out from the inside of the storage tank, not only penetrating the storage tank itself, but even penetrating the laboratory wall from the top of the laboratory, allowing the negative matter to continue to leak out.
In just a few seconds, a huge amount of negative matter leaked out of the laboratory.
The situation is almost exactly the same as last time.
And there is a more serious situation happening with the leakage of negative matter.
That is, starting from the experimental area, the negative matter that was originally stabilized and fused with dead matter actually showed signs of instability.
Stable negative matter has research value, but unstable negative matter... is tantamount to the raging nightmare of the plane.
Although negative matter does not have that great impact on living things.
But it also caused the structure of the laboratory to be shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Stabilize the negative matter!"
The deputy leader's voice came out amid the chaos.
A team member who had just been blocked by him also realized that he had no time to escape, and immediately pushed away the team member who was blocking the console and forcibly started the experiment process. He shouted to the deputy team leader: "It's done! ”
He operated rapidly on the console, constantly initiating various mandatory emergency measures.
But the effect is not ideal.
The laboratory itself has different emergency plans set up to deal with different situations.
The current situation seems to be that of negative material activation, which needs to be forcibly stabilized.
But the best means of stabilization are the inert gases that have been released at the earliest, but these gases failed to stabilize the negative matter, and instead leaked out together.
Other methods are used to deal with other situations, and treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor has no effect.
Moreover, as the team members used all available methods to no avail, the ground under the dome of the entire experimental area suddenly began to shake violently.
The team member who was operating the console shouted in a panic: "It's useless! No, it's not useless... Contact the director quickly!"
"I've arrived."
Chen Ming's calm voice sounded in the laboratory.
The metallic liquid swept out, protecting several team members and dragging them outside the laboratory.
He was left alone in the laboratory.
And the words left by the deputy team leader when he was taken away: "The team leader and Wang Guanghe have a problem."
Team leader Chen Ming knew who he was, Wang Guanghe and Chen Ming didn't know him, but thinking back, Chen Ming knew that he was also a member of the negative matter team's hospital, and he was the person who had just been taken away by him.
He immediately wanted to look for traces of the team leader, but at this time, the entire satellite had no trace of the team leader.
He could only control Wang Guanghe first and ask Yu Hui to retrieve all relevant records.
And he needs to quickly deal with the trouble on the planet now.
The alarm just went off.
Chen Ming knew that something was going to happen here, and in less than ten seconds he used his psychic powers to rush over.
But he still didn't have time to catch up with the instantaneous leakage of negative matter.
Things have already happened, no matter how dark or angry he is, nothing will change.
So he didn't rush back to the laboratory, but went to investigate the leak situation first.
At this time, he could be sure that the entire satellite had been completely infected by negative matter. There was no corner without negative matter, and the remaining negative matter had nowhere to go.
It is the negative matter with nowhere to go that causes instability in the laboratory.
But this is only a small portion of negative matter.
Looking at the entire planet, the existence of negative matter is very stable.
It has even become too stable, so stable that the satellite is heading towards the stability of the material inside the black hole.
This is the conclusion reached by Chen Ming who personally fought against the nightmare of the plane and experienced the existence of black holes and black hole dimensions.
There is something wrong with the direction in which negative matter stabilizes.
Their stability is not stability in the true sense, nor is it stability that is purely beneficial to people.
Their stability always has only one purpose, which is to construct the material-stable space they stabilize into a black hole.
Originally, most of the entire satellite was only infected by the leaked negative matter, and the negative matter maintained its original state.
But when the moment comes when the entire planet is infected by negative matter, it will show its fangs.
This stability affects the entire planet.
At this time, various equipment that Chen Ming placed around the satellite to monitor the status of the satellite had discovered traces of gravitational turbulence just above the satellite.
This is just the beginning.
It is impossible for this satellite to transform into a black hole under normal circumstances.
The mass of the planet is far from enough, but the connection between negative matter and the black hole dimension makes it possible for the satellite to transform into a black hole.
It won't be long before there will be an additional black hole in Gaia's orbit.
There aren't many solutions.
Because Chen Ming's ability to lock space is really just to lock space, and it has a very good effect on space disturbances and fluctuations.
But the black hole... The center of the black hole is the most stable place in the entire universe. The gravity here will make it impossible for light to pass through, and even the space will become completely unchangeable because of this gravity.
Of course, this is a normal situation in Chen Ming's cognition.
In fact, when this world has the existence of a black hole dimension, this situation will change.
After the passage to the black hole dimension, which is the black hole itself, is completely formed, this is not the most stable place.
If Gaia's satellite becomes a black hole, anything he does next will be meaningless.
But if it does not become a black hole, then the space here will still develop in a stable direction.
This is the special nature of this universe, and Chen Ming does not have the power to change it yet.
But he had other ways to solve the current situation.
Chen Ming's spiritual energy fluctuations were released overwhelmingly, covering the entire planet and the space around it.
He can tear apart space on a large scale and send satellites that are being transformed into black holes due to negative matter into phase space to ensure that planets will not transform into black holes due to the influence of the black hole dimension.
The independence of phase space allows it to avoid being linked to any dimension other than the normal universe.
Chen Ming had also specifically confirmed before that in phase space, black holes are essentially just black holes and have nothing to do with the black hole dimension car.
But before he did, he hesitated.
Because he felt a new danger different from the transformation of satellites into black holes.
This was a real danger that was sensed by his danger-sensing psychic ability, and he also knew what this danger represented.
Between the dangers of satellites transforming into black holes, causing entire galaxies to collapse, and the dangers of manually tearing space apart.
Chen Ming had to choose one to face. He was forced to choose one to face.
He must make a decision quickly.
Because just as he was thinking, new anomalies were still appearing on the satellite.
The planet's gravitational system has begun to collapse, a large number of shallow continental shelves have begun to collapse, and countless natural chasms have begun to appear on the planet.
Before long, even if the satellite is not transformed into a black hole, its framework as a planet will collapse in the process of stabilizing negative matter to form a black hole.
Even at this time, changes in the satellite have affected the Gaia star it orbits.
Abnormal tides have begun to appear in the coastal areas of Gaia.
If the situation continues to ferment, it may only be a matter of time before a tsunami covers the entire planet on Gaia.
Just when Chen Ming was thinking extremely nervously about how to make a decision.
A voice suddenly sounded: "You seem to be hesitating?"
It was Wang Guanghe who Chen Ming took away from the laboratory, who was talking to the metallic liquid surrounding him. Of course Chen Ming could hear this voice.
But Chen Ming didn't want to pay attention to him.
Because Yu Hui had sorted out all the records about Team Leader Wang Guanghe on the road in public places and sent them to Chen Ming.
After Chen Ming conducted a quick search with his spiritual power, he discovered something in common between the team leader and Wang Guanghe.
There are times when confusion appears in their eyes, and when confused, their behavior will be completely different from before.
This situation is all too familiar to Chen Ming.
This was a common occurrence following the psychic effects of brainwashed psykers by his "old friends".
It's a scene he hopes to see, but doesn't want to see.
At this time, he had no time to care about the left diameter issue and had to make a decision as soon as possible.
However, he still gave Wang Guanghe a piece of silent alloy armor, but this did not affect the ability of brainwashing psykers at all.
Wang Guanghe still looked at the laboratory that had been destroyed by the strong earthquake and the entire satellite that was collapsing with a half-smile.
Brainwashing psykers is far more disgusting than Chen Ming imagined.
His spiritual energy cannot be detected by any means after it actually works, and his age is far older than Chen Ming.
He may even have hundreds of years to plant his own undetectable puppets throughout the empire's society.
And he appeared at this time and stabbed Chen Ming the hardest.
