Chapter 405 Summary
Just after Chen Ming determined through his boss that the brainwashed psyker's final escape direction was the leader of the negative matter research team that had done something on his territory some time ago.
Chen Ming suddenly remembered that he seemed to have the team leader's phone number.
The brainwashed psyker took control of that body, so he probably wouldn't have directly lost the terminal of that body.
So Chen Ming took out his terminal and made a call.
What he didn't expect at all was that the call was actually broadcast.
Chen Ming's expression instantly became serious.
Because since this phone call can be broadcast, it means that the terminal receiving the communication must be within the coverage range of his colony's communication signal.
Chen Ming immediately thought about the signal coverage of his colony.
However, as he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that this seemed to be a very large place.
He had never fully developed the star field behind the wormhole before.
Because the Zerg development method is too crude.
So Chen Ming wanted to slowly develop the world behind the wormhole using the afterglow.
As for Yuhui, he has just completely taken control of it, so the development progress can be said to be quite slow.
It was impossible for Chen Ming to just put those galaxies to be developed there, so in order to roughly control the surrounding areas, he threw reconnaissance equipment in many places.
These devices, of course, require communications signals to transmit the information they detect.
Therefore, the actual coverage of his communication signal is quite large.
The result was that he was now unable to narrow down the location information of the brainwashed psyker to a location that could be immediately determined.
If you really want to look for it, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But you have to give it a try.
Chen Ming used his spiritual power to try to track the signal sent out, while continuing to pay attention to the situation of the broadcast phone call.
Then, something even more surprising happened to him.
The call was answered.
But there was no conversation on the other end of the phone.
But Chen Ming knew very well that the person on the other end must be a brainwashed psyker.
Chen Ming asked on the phone: "Hello? Where are you? Can you say no to me?"
"..."
The brainwashed psyker, who was originally quite cheerful and loved talking to Chen Ming, hung up the phone in silence, seemingly greatly irritated.
At the same time, Chen Ming's tracking attempt also failed.
The signal he was tracking suddenly completely lost its trace, and there was no possibility of tracking it.
There is no other way.
Chen Ming could only put this matter aside for the time being.
At least when the brainwashed psyker left, he was deprived of all external forces that he could rely on. At least he will not pose too many threats to himself in the recent period.
Moreover, the psychic powers of brainwashed psykers require people, at least living beings with certain intelligence, to be effective.
Within the area covered by Chen Ming's communication signals, he has left monitoring equipment on all planets with life forms.
Although the excessive range makes it difficult for Chen Ming to track the brainwashed psyker, it also makes it difficult for him to find the target to activate the ability.
Unless, he can find a way to enter Scarlet...or...the remnant.
The situation when Chen Ming suddenly couldn't find the communication signal when he tried to track it just now is very similar to the situation when he discovered the survivor communicator and tried to track the survivor through the survivor communicator but was unable to track it.
The survivors themselves have evil intentions and have a high level of surveillance on the area surrounding the wormhole.
Chen Ming didn't believe that the brainwashed psyker ran away and they couldn't find him.
And once they discover the brainwashed psyker, they will inevitably make a connection.
Maybe they will find a way to capture brainwashed psykers. After all, they are good research subjects for human civilization.
But it is also possible that they will cooperate with brainwashed psykers. After all, their goals are the same.
"Scarlet...the remnant..."
Chen Ming felt that he needed to increase the frequency of entering the scarlet dimension in the future.
It just so happened that he also learned some interesting abilities about Scarlet from the brainwashed psykers, and he had to experiment with them.
Just now...
Chen Ming shook his head and went back to contact the minister of psychic energy, intending to continue to cooperate with them to deal with all the remaining matters in the empire.
This cooperation lasted two months.
The actions of the brainwashed psykers had an impact on more than just the 60 million people in the Empire.
Because in the process of Chen Ming chasing the brainwashed psyker, the brainwashed psyker abandoned part of his brain several times, and he finally gave up all the people under his control and escaped alone.
Chen Ming did not hold back on these people.
Because once he stops and doesn't directly kill that part of the brain, the brainwashed psyker has a chance to escape his pursuit with almost no loss.
And this series of pursuits eventually resulted in the death of the empire's population to 4.3 billion.
Several of these colonial planets were completely controlled by brainwashed psykers and turned into a purgatory.
The population controlled by brainwashed psykers far exceeds anyone's initial estimates.
Looking at the empire, this number is actually the population of a high-density habitable planet. It is not even close to the number of people who died on Yunluo Star in the Caimo Star Region.
But when these 4.3 billion people are scattered throughout the empire, many of them are members of different social organizations such as the government, the army, local organizations, and even important members.
The impact of this incident cannot be lowered.
The top leaders of the government and military are dead, and there are still afterglow cores and personnel arranged by the empire to fill in the gaps.
But for other non-governmental organizations and high-level officials in different companies, their deaths were unclear and they must seek an explanation.
What's more, people in the government and the military are not just machines that only know how to work.
The dead also had family and friends, as well as relationships between superiors and subordinates.
This has led to many problems in many local government departments.
There are not many situations in the army. After all, the rules of the army are stricter than the law.
But chaos at the government level really isn't limited to chaos caused by management deaths.
It’s not like we’re going to start a rebellion.
But as long as there is some secret guidance from someone with ulterior motives, things will take an unpredictable direction.
Especially when the empire announced after the incident that the cause of the incident was related to the psyker, the leader of the cult Luddite Path.
There are also many rats lurking in the gutter, and some even raise the banner of Zuo Jing, wanting to inherit their inheritance.
In such a large empire, there is no shortage of dark corners.
The mouse was quickly dealt with.
It's just that issues at the government level have indeed caused a lot of trouble for the reorganization of the empire.
But as long as there is no problem with the subject. Then the problems on other branches are basically not a problem.
Even if many people died in the subject, not everyone died.
It's never that easy for brainwashed psykers to infiltrate the Empire.
After all, the empire had a relatively general attitude towards psykers in the early days and took many protective measures against psykers.
It will not happen that if one government department is invaded, the entire government will be destroyed. After all, there are still some people who are not affected and controlled.
At the same time, not everyone is overwhelmed by sadness and pain.
After all, someone will find an opportunity in this incident and take the initiative to cater to the empire's way of doing things.
They, as well as the Afterglow core controlled by Chen Ming, are the current mainstay of the empire.
What's more, before Chen Mingzhen started to take action, the Grand Consul was already prepared to face these problems.
Two months' time.
It is enough to completely deal with all the problems on the surface.
It will take time to slowly smooth out the remaining underlying issues.
Chen Ming also had a headache for quite some time.
He needs to deploy the Empire's Afterglow core to where they belong.
Because his psychic ability can see the ability bias of Alpha-level afterglow cores, he can arrange each Alpha core into the most appropriate position.
It doesn't need to be too precise, just a general direction, and someone will fill in the rest of the details for him.
But no matter what, this is a matter involving an empire, and it cannot be easy.
Chen Ming also thought about refusing to do this.
But if he doesn't refuse, every afterglow core in the empire will need to pass through his hands before it can be used.
So it was kind of hard for him to say no.
The Empire and Afterglow have been fighting each other for hundreds of years.
The afterglow continues to make blood from the rear to the front.
The Empire again kept capturing Sunset in the middle of the battle.
Some of the Afterglow cores who were willing to completely surrender to the empire had already been used.
Most of the remaining ones either refused to surrender or were not easy to use.
After all, the Empire officially banned the use of AI above Delta level after the AI War. Only secret industries that were not open to the outside world could use Afterglow.
Of course, restrictions on artificial intelligence technology should gradually be relaxed over time, just like the restrictions on psykers.
In short, all the Afterglow core Chen Ming captured during the war between the Empire and Afterglow can be contacted.
Specific quantity...
It can only be said that there are about a hundred Alpha-level afterglow cores in the afterglow star field that Chen Ming controls and plans to relocate.
As for the Afterglow Cores that the Empire plans to place throughout the Empire to replace the lost personnel, there are about 300 Alpha-level cores in the first batch alone, and there are countless Betas and Gammas remaining.
Each one is handed over to Chen Ming to determine where to go before entering the workplace.
This can only be said.
They give too much.
Even if most of the afterglow cores really need to be used throughout the empire, otherwise the empire may not be stable.
But the remaining ones are also very important to Chen Ming. He will really lack these afterglow cores in the future.
And those Afterglow Cores used in the Empire itself would also allow him to get some extra gains after ending his hunt for the brainwashed psykers.
Those afterglows first passed through his hands and were controlled by him before entering the empire.
His power has completely penetrated into the empire.
He can use the Afterglow Core to exert different influences on the empire in all aspects.
Chen Ming may not necessarily use this power, but if he has this power in his hand, he can save a lot of things.
In addition, there is the relationship between Chen Ming and the empire
Chen Ming is often willing to maintain friendly relations with the empire.
But due to the special nature of his own power, the empire is a collective existence, rather than an existence that can determine the long-term development direction based on personal preferences.
So it is absolutely impossible to have any close contact with him.
Now, this short-distance cooperation that only three people knew about allowed Chen Ming to have more interactions with the empire's top leader and the empire's second-in-command.
Let the top few people in the entire empire know clearly that Chen Ming is really too lazy to care about so many things in the empire most of the time.
He really had no idea about the Empire.
Although this cannot change a collective, it is enough to change the leader of a collective.
Generally speaking, it is beneficial. At least it would allow him to get more help from the ruling class.
After several more cooperations in the future, many things will become logical.
He is not short of material benefits now either. It would be nice to have some benefits in this regard.
With the Left Path and the brainwashed psykers thing was over for good within the Empire.
Chen Ming also discovered a situation.
That is, things are always good and bad.
Zuo Jing caused trouble, causing his satellite to collapse and causing him to fall into scarlet.
But it also allowed him to find the key weakness of the brainwashed psyker, and took this opportunity to completely eliminate the danger of the Left Path.
Of course, this also led to a crisis in the empire where a large number of people died and the government was in chaos.
But it was the empire's crisis that allowed the empire to shed its poisonous blood and make its path of development smoother.
It also gave Chen Ming the opportunity to extend his hands into all aspects of the empire.
Overall it’s not a loss.
Because Chen Ming has other additional gains.
Fields bloom.
His existence and his spiritual power have made it possible to completely stabilize negative matter in the past two months.
Tian Xuan's spiritual power is not just about purification.
His psychic energy is more like some kind of special stabilizing means, like a specialization of the consciousness of the planet Gaia, a psychic existence.
It can transform unstable things that originally existed in the normal universe into stable existences.
It was also his spiritual power that allowed the satellite that originally existed in the phase and was on the verge of collapse due to negative matter to erase the negative effects of negative matter, leaving only the positive effects of negative matter.
The black hole dimensions represented by these stabilized negative matter even have greater research value than the nightmare of the plane itself.
Moreover, Tian Xuan’s psychic powers and the special connection between the Fairy Spirit Tree and Gaia’s consciousness.
It also made it possible to create a life seeder... no, it should be called a Gaia seeder now.
Chen Ming's satellite was the first laboratory object of the Gaia Seeder.
At the same time, Tian Xuan's spiritual power also made it possible to eradicate Scarlet.
If Chen Ming looks at the empire and the universe, the most troublesome problems are Zuo Jing and Scarlet,
Zuojiao has completely failed to make any waves.
In other words, scarlet is what Chen Ming really needs to worry about.
But now, what Chen Ming finally needed to worry about has found a solution.
As long as the field blooms are cultivated for a while, scarlet may no longer be a problem.
