Chapter 454: Attempts outside the battlefield
As the Grand Archon agreed to the request of the Minister of Psychics.
A group of researchers belonging to the Imperial Fanchao Research Institute signed a secret contract and headed to the Origin Galaxy with the necessary equipment and curiosity about the unknown.
Although the answers to their curiosity are not answers that make people happy, at least they satisfy their thirst for knowledge.
After all, Chen Ming has not conducted a standard psychic test so far, and they will be the first batch.
Although what is to be tested is only Chen Ming's body and not a complete person, this is also a rare opportunity,
besides.
In the galaxy where Chen Ming lost contact, there were also Imperial researchers sent there.
The originally stable spatial rift here was torn apart by Chen Ming "personally", exposing a chaotic and twisted space.
Chen Ming seemed to have sent people here to conduct some investigations, but there was no space station set up, so the empire had a reasonable excuse to occupy this place for research.
Under the promotion of the minister, the research results here will be shared through the internal information exchange channels of Fanchao.
Assist Chen Ming's colony in the research on the marks on Chen Ming's hand.
The empire had no reservations and did not even delve into the specific content of the research project.
Research on imprints is progressing rapidly.
In just three days, the dispatched Fanchao researcher had confirmed that the source of the power of the mark carved on Chen Ming's hand lay within the black hole dimension and had no connection with Chen Ming's own power.
It was also confirmed that the power of the mark is similar to the psychic power of the Plane Nightmare.
It was also confirmed that the psychic power composition of the mark contains psychic fluctuations similar to the psychic power structure inside the ectoplasmic stone.
If a powerful psychic creature dies with strong emotions, special psychic fluctuations will remain.
These residual fluctuations are often preserved in various stone objects.
If there are no stone objects around, then there is a high chance that this wave will dissipate directly, and there is also a very small chance that it will be preserved in non-stone objects.
This should be considered the first time it appears on a human body, but it is not impossible as long as the dead psychic creature is strong enough.
With this information it can basically be inferred.
After Chen Ming entered the black hole dimension, he killed a plane nightmare that was more powerful than the plane nightmare that invaded the normal universe.
And this plane nightmare has a very high probability of being so powerful that it can master the power of time.
And before dying, it used its last power to "curse" Chen Ming, leaving this mark.
God knows how Chen Ming managed to kill a creature that controlled the power of time, but judging from the characteristics of the mark, this is the fact. .
Then, perhaps because of the negative impact of the mark, Chen Ming temporarily abandoned this body.
Therefore, there will be situations where the body comes back earlier than the conscious body.
It's no wonder that Chen Ming was able to defeat the Queen simply by relying on his body with no consciousness but only fighting instinct.
That's why.
As long as Chen Ming's consciousness can come back, the war between humans and the survivors can be won.
As more and more information about Chen Ming was obtained, the attitudes of the researchers who were originally a little discouraged after learning about their research goals in coming to Chen Ming's colony became more and more positive.
One-sided communications with the chaotic space are becoming more and more frequent, and it seems that real results will be achieved soon, bringing Chen Ming's consciousness out of that chaotic dimension.
Internal affairs are thriving, and the external situation has also improved in recent times. Although it has not improved too much, it has definitely improved.
Not only is the war between the empire and the survivors and the queen, but also the war between the empire and the machine race.
In the star field on the edge of the empire, the Gallo star field.
The army commanded by Bai Quan has now retaken the Gallo Star Territory and is stationed in the Star Territory that was once the branch of the legion.
This means that the fleet controlled by Baiquan's army has rushed out of the empire's borders and occupied the star field once occupied by the mechanical race. After all, only in this way can the safety of soldiers entering the neuron connection equipment in the Galo star field be guaranteed.
With his cooperation, the armies in the surrounding star fields also took steps to regain their lost ground.
All generals who can persevere in such a high-intensity war are constantly breaking through their limits, growing beyond their original limits, and mastering more powerful command techniques.
And due to the relationship between the Survivor Nano Fleet, the Empire has recently developed various technologies that can significantly improve the armed strength of the Imperial Army.
Many of these technologies will be tested in conflicts with nanofleet.
Those that are effective will continue to be in-depth research and development and will continue to be installed.
Those that have no effect are not thrown away directly, but after certain targeted modifications are made, they are thrown onto the battlefield of the mechanical race for secondary testing.
Baiquan, as the spearhead in the direction of the Gallo Star Territory, can naturally obtain the most technical reinforcements.
The mechanical race in this direction has been completely forced out of the empire.
Especially after Chen Ming returned, the machine clan's intelligence network seemed to have successfully investigated the news.
Not only did the offensive slow down, but they even actively gave up buffer zones to the empire in many places.
Omega Core seemed scared.
Baiquan understands it very well.
If he were a mechanical tribe, he would be afraid, especially when the mechanical tribe has a core that coordinates everything.
If there is a problem with the core, the entire machine race will be completely destroyed.
So so far, the intensity of the war between the Empire and the Machine Tribe has begun to slow down.
All the generals and soldiers who had been in the war finally had a chance to breathe.
Baiquan, who could be said to be somewhat out of shape at first, is gradually returning to health. At least he is not as weak as before due to the long-term use of neuron connection equipment, which caused the brain to be highly active for a long time.
And judging from the current situation.
The Gallo Star Territory will have a stable period of at least seventy-two hours in the near future, and there will be no invasion by foreign enemies.
Bai Quan can finally leave the front line for a short period of time and rest for a few days.
He needs to adjust his condition and prepare for the subsequent war.
However, just when Bai Quan handed over the work and was about to go back to his residence to sleep well for a few days.
Suddenly he received a message from an unknown source on his terminal.
There is no information about the sender, only a special record.
The whole process of the last conflict between Chen Ming's body and the Queen was recorded.
Including these videos of Chen Ming walking out of the shuttle boat with eyes blank, fighting with the Queen, and being almost torn apart by the Queen's offensive.
and a text explaining Chen Ming's current situation.
Bai Quan had also wondered why Chen Ming didn't come to see him after he came back, or at least make a phone call to chat.
But after Huihuang specifically contacted him later, he had no problem.
But now...
Bai Quan immediately gave up the idea of taking a break and immediately relied on his circle of connections to confirm with others.
After more than ten minutes of investigation and questioning, he found that at least one-third of the prominent figures in the empire had received this inexplicable message from an unknown source.
Apparently, the Empire leaked extremely important high-level information.
And the "person" who announced the news could only be the Queen.
After all, the only people in the entire universe who recorded Chen Ming's complete fighting posture at close range were Tian Xuan and the Queen.
This news is obviously not good for Chen Ming, and it is impossible for Tian Xian to do it.
It’s obvious who did it.
It seems that the Queen is really afraid, otherwise she would never use this method to try to disintegrate the empire from within.
The principle can be guessed by just thinking about it, and it definitely relies on nanorobots hidden throughout the empire that cannot be observed by the naked eye, and even many devices may not be able to detect them.
And one hour after Chen Ming’s information was disclosed.
Bai Quan once again received a new message on his terminal.
The news this time was not related to Bai Quan, but news from another faction within the legion that had conflicts with Bai Quan.
Moreover, all of them are news that cannot see the slightest light at all. Bai Quan immediately understood what the survivor was trying to do.
This is an attempt to forcibly create internal conflicts in the empire.
Originally, many things were hidden in the dark and no one would delve into them, and many times it might not be good for you to delve into them.
But if this kind of thing is brought to the surface, the problem will be slightly bigger.
But just a little bit.
No one's ass is clean when looking at the empire, and as long as nothing truly breaking the line is revealed, all of this can be ignored.
If there is, then the Grand Consul will definitely deal with the person without mercy at the present moment. The saying of using heavy codes in troubled times does not violate the current situation of the empire.
And anyone with a brain knows what is most important at this time
If there are still people who don’t have a brain, then many people will help them grow it.
Of course, this is for things that are not on the table.
As for the matter related to Chen Ming that came to the forefront, the situation is somewhat different.
After hearing the news about Chen Ming, many people knew how to deal with it and the best response plan.
But not everyone can restrain their inappropriate thoughts and use the best response plan.
Two hours after Chen Ming's information was disclosed.
Chen Ming's colonial and imperial capitals held a meeting at the same time.
Chen Ming's colony ended the meeting directly after discussing the Queen's plan. Brilliant will change the way of cooperation with Fan Chao in the future. There is nothing else to say.
But at the meeting of high-level officials in the empire, the situation was obviously very different.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room was very tense.
"Obviously, the attitude of the survivors towards the Empire has changed significantly, and they no longer despise us."
"Their civilization has begun to initiate war from the civilization itself."
The penetration of nanomachines has actually been within the empire's expectations.
After all, it is really difficult to detect nanomachines within the empire.
If nanomachines can penetrate, it may be possible to kill the empire's top officials,
But unless all the high-level officials of the entire empire are killed together, the number of people will be filled quickly, which is basically meaningless.
And who in the upper echelons of the empire doesn’t have psychic guards?
Although there are relatively few level 5 and 6 psykers in the empire, there are a lot of level 3 psykers in the empire, and there are quite a few level 4 psykers.
It is still possible to guard against sneak attacks by nanobots that are unable to possess sufficient numbers in order to infiltrate the empire.
When there is no way to carry out large-scale assassinations against high-level officials in the empire
The survivors chose to use this method to disgust the empire.
To be honest, it is really surprising, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
At the same time, it really worried everyone in the empire who could understand the Queen's purpose.
There was already concern that something was going to go wrong before the meeting even started.
After all, the facts are there. Chen Ming has not communicated with the outside world since he came back, and his colony has been hiding something.
What came back was just Chen Ming's body. It had no self-awareness and was just a pure tool.
As for Chen Ming, the only high-level combatant died in battle not long ago
Is there anyone...with special ideas?
Many people's eyes are wandering on the faces of everyone in the conference room, but no one has their thoughts written on their faces.
The meeting continued, and discussions about Chen Ming's situation soon began at the meeting.
However, this development did not last long, because the commander of the First Legion suddenly said at the meeting: "Perhaps it is best to keep Chen Ming in his current state. He can become the guardian of the empire."
The conference room fell silent instantly.
This is what many people are worried about, and it is probably what the Queen wants to see the most.
Moreover... although the First Legion is an independent legion of the empire, the First Legion and the Second Legion can be regarded as the legions closest to the empire itself, that is, the legions closest to the Grand Consul.
When people from the First Legion come out to speak, does this mean...
The psychic minister who participated in the holographic projection tapped the table and said: "Objection."
He didn't say much about his reasons, he just made his attitude clear.
This situation made everyone present even more frightened. The first and second leaders of the empire had different ideas, and a conflict might even break out.
This situation made everyone uncontrollably worried.
The Grand Consul suddenly spoke: "Xu Lei, you are quite old."
Several exclamations rang out uncontrollably in the conference room.
The demeanor of Xu Lei, commander of the First Legion, changed instantly and became a little unbelievable.
The Grand Consul emphasized again: "Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."
Xu Lei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he looked into the eyes of the great consul and still did not dare to continue.
After nodding, he left the conference room.
The Grand Consul expressed his attitude in the most direct, most inhumane, and most damaging way to his own power.
This would hurt a lot of people in the First Legion, a lot of people close to the Grand Archon, but he did it anyway.
The meeting continued.
The Empire resolutely adhered to the original direction of the plan. The originally hidden research experiments on Chen Ming were made public, and more people could be summoned to investigate the black hole dimensions and imprints.
A wave of attempts by the survivors that were not a frontal battlefield were easily resolved.
It even became the driving force for Chen Ming's consciousness to return.
And here in Chen Ming's colony.
After Tian Xuan participated in the research on imprints for a period of time, he had no intention of continuing to participate in the experiment.
On the fifth night after Chen Ming's body returned, he left home after putting his daughter to sleep.
Leaving the colony via the stargate in a shuttle boat.
Brilliance appeared like a shadow and asked with the help of the shuttle boat's communication equipment: "Are you going again?"
"Well, I'm almost mentally recovered. I have to give it a try. I can feel him there every time, so I have to go."
Huihuang warned: "It's not safe outside these days. The Queen has completely lost her face and put down her figure."
"I know that she has been relying on her psychic powers to enter the empire and attack in recent days."
It can only be said that in the face of the survival of the race, the face of the strongest person is not important at all. The face she loses will become the respect of the civilization she leads.
In short, the Queen shamelessly repeatedly arrived in the empire to cause destruction, affecting both ordinary galaxies and military galaxies.
And the empire really has no effective countermeasures.
Chen Ming's body will not react to things that happen too far away.
There was nothing the empire could do to deliver Chen Ming's body before the Queen arrived to cause damage and leave.
Not even with the president's psychic powers.
Once the president's spiritual power reaches Chen Ming's body, the Queen will directly abandon all targets and evacuate. She knows Chen Ming's condition.
There were even times when the Empire only had a few teams of level 6 psykers blocking the Queen, and the Queen did not want to fight them head-on.
Even if there is a high probability that she can win, she will never do anything risky.
Some important galaxies in the empire are well protected. Information cannot be leaked and nanomachines cannot penetrate. The Queen will not cause trouble in these galaxies.
Although there is no loss yet, problems will arise sooner or later if this continues.
No one knows where the Queen's next target will be.
This is what Brilliant is worried about.
However, Tian Xian was not worried and asked: "Will you look at me?"
"Yes."
"Isn't that enough?"
