Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 206 Technical Test



Chapter 206 Technical Test

In addition to these, Chen Ming also has some special things in his hands.

For example, the ship spirit and the small stone.

Although their current role seems to be just a mascot.

But the ship spirit is a ship spirit after all, and it needs to affect a spaceship for a long time to play its due role.

Two months is too short, not to mention that Shao Yang will have to keep the rhythm at the highest point for another month.

So Chen Ming knows that the ship spirit is slacking off and doesn't care.

And Xiao Shi, it is a hamster that has been with him from Ruimu to today. It seems to have some psychic potential, and then it ate too many fairy leaves at Yuhui and evolved into a psychic creature.

So Chen Ming also said that he would never give it up.

In addition to the two living things, Chen Ming also has some special dead things, such as two condensed psychic origins and crazy language spirit stones, and a mind pulse generator.

It is the existence of these things that allows Chen Ming to not fall behind in psychic training when he is extremely busy every day.

In fact, Chen Ming still has a lot of things, such as those supplies that have not been counted.

But it is too troublesome to count the supplies, just know that there is no shortage.

All these things add up to Chen Ming's entire fortune.

That is, everything Chen Ming has accumulated step by step to get to where he is today.

At the same time, it is also the motivation that supports Chen Ming to continue.

The next day.

Earlier than the original scheduled time, Bai Quan contacted Chen Ming in advance and asked him, "How is it?"

Chen Ming was ready yesterday, so he could immediately answer, "No problem on my side."

"Okay, then let's go meet some people first."

"Who?"

"The think tank I told you about yesterday, I found for you."

Bai Quan tapped the terminal that Chen Ming had given him in his hand. This thing is very useful for private conversations, but it is not very useful when contacting other people.

"You are in the empire now, why not switch directly to our 14th Legion's network? There is no need to worry about leakage."

"Okay."

Chen Ming's communication code has never been deliberately hidden. With the help of Bai Quan, he quickly connected to the internal communication network of the 14th Legion.

After confirming that the signal was fine, Bai Quan left the office and went to a meeting room in his office building.

There are already five people waiting here.

After entering the conference room, Bai Quan gave Chen Ming access to the computer in the conference room.

Chen Ming's face appeared on the projection of the conference room, and the appearance of the conference room also appeared in front of Chen Ming.

Bai Quan gestured to the five people in the conference room and said, "These are the think tanks I told you about before."

The five people who were originally sitting in the conference room immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Chen Ming, and the person in the middle said, "Mr. Chen Ming, we can rely on your description of your own psychic power to help you analyze the future development prospects and use effects of psychic power."

Chen Ming nodded, and quietly sent a question to Bai Quan using the terminal.

"By the way, how did you determine the candidates for the think tank?"

After all, as a think tank of psychics, it must have an understanding of psychic power and a sufficiently open mind, as well as imagination.

Otherwise, these think tanks that are not psychics themselves have no meaning.

Bai Quan put his hands behind his back and replied to Chen Ming on the terminal: "There are some ordinary people whose mental power exceeds that of ordinary people, but they cannot awaken their psychic power and become psychics."

"These people with developed mental power are relatively easy to find among ordinary people, just like psychics."

"And when they assist some psychics in testing their psychic power, it is easier to observe the effects of psychic power, so the empire has been looking for such people."

"Some of these people are official staff of the empire. When they come into contact with psychic power more often during related tests, those who are interested will take the initiative to apply, or participate in the work of psychic-related departments according to the requirements of their superiors."

"So basically, people who work in psychic-related departments have mental power that is different from that of ordinary people."

"Then these people are screened in terms of ability, and finally the think tank is selected."

"In fact, the think tank did not exist at the beginning. It was not until the empire's management and research on psychics was systematized that this think tank gradually came into being."

"If you don't need it, I can let them go now."

"That's not necessary."

Chen Ming decisively rejected Bai Quan's proposal.

Since the think tank of the Empire is a branch that has gradually extended from the psychic department of the Empire and has always existed.

Time has proved that the think tank is useful, so there is no need for him to deny it directly.

And it is always good to have someone to help think.

Although his psychic power is not as simple as it seems from the outside, the answer that can be analyzed based on the effects of the psychic power that can be spoken may not be ideal.

In addition, Chen Ming can fully see the possibility of his own psychic power development in the future from the ship spirit.

The analysis of outsiders may be a little unreliable, but it is still a reference option.

And Chen Ming is indeed curious whether these think tanks of the Empire, which have been screened through layers, can think of a truly applicable psychic power development direction based on the psychic conditions that he has simply described orally.

After Chen Ming got to know the five people briefly.

Bai Quan opened his mouth and said to Chen Ming: "It's almost time. The matter of the mechanical clan must be discussed in the conference room of the headquarters. Please help you pick up the signal."

"When exactly does it start?"

"You can do it at any time. Everyone should have arrived just now."

"Then go ahead."

Bai Quan reached out and operated on the computer in the conference room, connected Chen Ming's communication signal to a new channel, and connected it to a conference room in the headquarters.

And when the signal was connected, he took the lead in transmitting the conference room signal to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming could see that there were about thirty people sitting scattered in this larger conference room.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming immediately asked Bai Quan through the terminal: "Are there actually so many people? I thought there wouldn't be many people who are interested in psychic powers among those who study the mechanical race."

"Forehead……"

Bai Quan was stunned for a moment because of Chen Ming's words, and quickly replied to Chen Ming on the terminal: "Actually, there are quite a lot."

"The Machine Tribe has a lot of things left over from another civilization, including a lot of psychic equipment."

"And so far we have not been able to create equipment that can produce psychic effects without relying on psykers. As a result, the use of psychic equipment by the mechanical tribe has often exceeded our imagination."

"So people who study the mechanical race will be more or less interested in psychic energy."

"Um...Also, although there are only more than thirty people coming this time, the number of researchers and scholar reagents from our headquarters who study the machine family can attend the meeting, which can fill at least three or four conference rooms."

"We are worried that the large number of people will make you uncomfortable, so we only let them choose representatives to participate."

Chen Ming immediately looked at the conference room. The entire conference room could seat about three hundred people.

According to Bai Quan, there are actually thousands of researchers related to the mechanical race at the headquarters of the Fourteenth Legion, and there should be more.

Bai Quan just said that those who can come can fill three or four conference rooms. For those who cannot attend, there must be more researchers who have to stay at the institute.

Then Chen Ming did have a misunderstanding. Thirty people were not too many at all, but rather pitifully few.

It can only be said that the human environment where Chen Ming stayed the longest was the pirate space station.

Although the people here basically know something about the mechanical clan and their psychic equipment, there are not many people who have actually come into contact with the mechanical clan and their spiritual energy.

But the Fourteenth Legion is different. The army has an absolute understanding of spiritual energy and is at war with the Machine Tribe all the year round. Naturally, there are more people who can come into contact with the Machine Tribe.

Just like if Chen Ming had continued on step by step and was just an ordinary person, he would never have imagined how many people on the Pirate Space Station had committed crimes and became pirates.

Only when you get to the pirate space station do you find that all the people on it are pirates.

Of course, they basically didn't have any high bounties on them, so Chen Ming generally didn't bother to care about them.

Moreover, comparing pirates with researchers from the mechanical race is indeed a bit insulting to scholars.

In short, what kind of environment will have what kind of people.

Seeing that Chen Ming had nothing to say, Bai Quan asked, "Then I will take you over?"

"good."

The moment the two-way communication was connected, Chen Ming's appearance appeared in the conference room.

Chen Ming suddenly saw a familiar person in the conference room again, Shao Yang.

Although he looks like an ordinary researcher wearing a white coat and black-rimmed glasses, there is an arrogance in his eyes that cannot be hidden.

Although Chen Ming didn't see him the first time he came up, as long as he glanced at him a few more times, he couldn't hide his eyes, so Chen Ming still noticed him.

Shao Yang also noticed that Chen Ming's eyes on the projection screen in the conference room were locked on him through the screen.

So he nodded slightly to Chen Ming.

He was actually a little surprised.

His research focus is mainly on spacecraft design, not specifically on the mechanical race.

However, his interest and understanding of psychic energy are greater than any researcher of the Fourteenth Legion, so he is still more interested in matters related to the mechanical race that are closely related to psychic energy.

I heard from my colleagues in the research institute next door that the Fourteenth Legion's research on the machine race has recently made progress, and a report meeting will be held remotely at the branch.

He came here out of curiosity.

As a psyker who recently joined the Fourteenth Legion, Shao Yang still has this reputation.

The other person attending the meeting was Chen Ming. As the organizer of the meeting, Bai Quan knew that Wu An had connected Chen Ming and Shao Yang, so he naturally opened a back door for him.

As a result, after Shao Yang arrived, when the meeting officially started, he discovered that it was Chen Ming who was going to speak at the meeting.

This really surprised him.

But besides being surprised, he also thought of something incidentally.

Because in his opinion, the fact that Chen Ming could appear in the internal meeting of the Fourteenth Army Corps meant that Chen Ming had also joined the Fourteenth Army Corps.

This is a good thing for him. They are all from psychic associations, and they are all psychics brought by Wu An.

There have been cooperations before, and there are also ongoing cooperations recently.

With the previous foundation, they can communicate with each other more.

So he also took the initiative to say hello to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming also nodded and didn't respond much, nor was he affected by seeing someone he knew.

The report meeting on the research on the machine race that he promised started normally.

After the meeting room quieted down, Chen Ming organized his words a little and said: "The honeycomb thinking network of the mechanical race is composed of psychic energy."

The attention of everyone in the meeting room was instantly attracted by what Chen Ming said.

And someone in the meeting room immediately discussed this topic.

"Has there been such an assumption before?"

"Yes, but the psychic devices of the mechanical race are mechanical and rigid, without spirituality. And the mechanical race itself is the life that best fits the word spirituality, so no one has ever agreed with this proposal."

Chen Ming did not continue to speak at this time, but listened silently.

When the discussion in the meeting room was almost over, it quieted down again.

Continue to talk about his understanding of the mechanical race according to his psychic control and understanding of the mechanical race.

It can be said that these researchers have a great understanding of the structure or design of the mechanical race, which may be the top in the entire empire.

But in terms of understanding the essence of the mechanical race, no one can compare with him who actually controls the mechanical race and builds the honeycomb network of the mechanical race.

The subsequent meeting process was not as bad as the beginning.

Except for some small discussions sometimes, no one directly raised objections to Chen Ming's words.

After all, everyone present had heard of Chen Ming to some extent, and no one could guarantee that what Chen Ming said, which sounded outrageous at first, was definitely wrong.

At this time, Bai Quan, who was in the branch office, received a call soon after.

In addition to the conference room of the headquarters, there were actually many people watching Chen Ming's meeting, but they could communicate directly with Chen Ming in the conference room.

The call that Bai Quan received now was that someone from above had given an order.

Bai Quan walked to the door of the conference room, looked back at Chen Ming who was talking on the screen, and turned to leave.

An hour later.

Chen Ming's own narration of his understanding of the mechanical race was coming to an end, and Bai Quan returned to the scene again.

As soon as he came back, he saw someone in the headquarters' meeting room asking Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen Ming, can you come to the headquarters in person to demonstrate the changes of the mechanical race after being controlled? We have captured mechanical race samples for you to use." Bai Quan was about to connect to the line to stop him, but Chen Ming had already replied: "I need to stay in the Galo Star Region and cannot leave at will." The researcher who just asked the question immediately said: "We can take the mechanical race samples to the Galo Star Region." Chen Ming did not explicitly refuse, but just said: "Then I will consider it." "Thank you." The researcher thanked him and sat back immediately. Chen Ming also said the last sentence: "So that's all I want to say today. If you have any questions or opinions, you can ask Lieutenant General Bai Quan later." Then Chen Ming directly cut off the screen and sent a message to Bai Quan: "I'm done here." "I saw it. You don't really want someone to bring the mechanical race to the Galo star field, do you?" Chen Ming immediately said: "Of course this is just an excuse. I can't just say in front of so many people that I'm too lazy to help them demonstrate? Then I'll throw away both of our faces." Chen Ming suddenly took a deep breath and relieved his Some nervousness said; "I have never spoken in front of so many people, it's quite tiring."

"I don't think your performance is the first time."

"Maybe it's talent."

Chen Ming responded casually and said: "That's it for today. If you are still free, let's continue? I had a fight with Cheng Xinghai yesterday. Do you want to review it?"

Bai Quan thought about the task on his shoulders and said: "It may not work today. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"But you don't need to review the battle with Cheng Xinghai yesterday, because you didn't command it at all."

"I think you still have to limit It ’s better to make your own spirit, otherwise this simulation battle has no meaning." Chen Ming praised him: "I actually think so. Dao said to Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen Ming, we want to ask you a few questions." "You ask." "Is the mechanical family controlled by Lingneng?" "Yes, I said at the meeting." "Whether the mechanical family controlled by your control still has self -awareness." Decrease, only the ability to obey commands. "" There is another question, is that you know the mechanical family honeycomb network? "" Only those who said at the meeting, I have no way to go back after leaving the honeycomb network. Then he turned around and said to Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen Ming, we are wondering if your psychic power can integrate the consciousness of these abnormal sub-individuals of the mechanical race and build a new hive mind network with your psychic power as the core?"

"?"

Chen Ming was silent.

He didn't know what to say.

Is this the value of a think tank?

At this time, the representative continued to say to Chen Ming: "We don't know much about your psychic abilities, but according to what you said personally, your control of the machine race will cause the machine race to become abnormal sub-individuals and unable to reconnect to the machine. Hive mind network, this.”

"And the theory you put forward in the meeting just now, this should be feasible."

Chen Ming subconsciously glanced at the city of the mechanical tribe he controlled, and said with some uncertainty: "I can give it a try."

"What's your name?"

"Yan Ze."

After the matter with Baiquan was over.

Immediately afterwards, good news came from the Queen of Insects. A new biotechnology experiment was successful.

is another ongoing technology besides bioarchitecture.

This is very good news for Chen Ming.

He immediately transferred his consciousness to the bugs near the queen in the nest, preparing to go over and verify this technology.

After the verification was completed, he directly transferred the consciousness of the insect queen temporarily to the body of the insect queen at the highest point.

That night.

Chen Ming left the highest point alone and went to the pirate space station.

It was still the same as before, without any protective clothing or other equipment.

And just like last time, he ran directly to the bar where Lao Wu often went.

The bar at night was much noisier than the last time Chen Ming came. The crowd was crowded into a small space, which made Chen Ming feel uncomfortable.

However, he still held back. After entering, he first asked the bartender for a glass of very exciting liquor, and then went to the corner to find Lao Wu fooling around.

When Old Wu saw Chen Ming coming over, he asked with extremely strange eyes: "Xiao Ming, are you so free today?"

Chen Ming took a sip of the wine in his hand and said, "Yeah, I just did something mind-numbing with someone during the day, so I came out to hang out and relax."

"By the way, how did the food taste last time?"

Old Wu recalled the taste of shellac before, and his mouth instinctively secreted more saliva.

"The taste is very good, but..."

The corners of Chen Ming's mouth curled up, it was obvious that Old Wu had also been tricked.

He immediately took out a fresh-keeping box containing a portion of shellac from his bag and handed it to Lao Wu and said, "I still have a lot here."

Seeing Lao Wu's hesitant look, Chen Ming took out a new piece of shellac, took a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.

When Old Wu saw this, although he still felt a little hesitant in his heart, he still took the box.

After all, the smell is really tempting.

When taking the fuse box, Old Wu couldn't help but ask: "So what exactly is this thing?"

Chen Ming asked back: "Do you know the Thorn Zerg clan?"

Old Wu searched for this somewhat familiar name in his mind, and finally found the Thorn Zerg clan in Chen Ming's past memory, and said, "I have an impression."

"That's what they produce."

"you……"

"I came across a nest of wild bugs and found them in their nest. I looked through the research report on the Thorn bugs. This thing is edible, don't worry."

Old Wu nodded, and suddenly said with some regret: "That's a pity. I thought this thing could be produced, and it felt like a good business."

With that said, he also opened the crisper, and then took out a spoon from nowhere and tasted the taste of shellac like Chen Ming.

Chen Ming was a little surprised by the idea proposed by Lao Wu.

Because this idea is actually good.

He can indeed mass-produce shellac, and he shouldn't have to worry about sales.

This 0.2% food poisoning rate is a bit troublesome, but it can also be solved using the allergen argument.

But unfortunately, the situation of the Thorn Zerg must not be exposed.

Therefore, Chen Ming could only give up the idea of ​​raising funds through this new open source for the time being.

After eating the shellac, Chen Ming didn't stay much longer and said, "I just came here to wander around for a few times, and I'm leaving."

"Walk slowly."

Chen Ming drank the wine in his hand and turned around to walk out of the bar.

Although his face was visibly red, and he looked like he was drunk.

But he still walked out of the bar steadily.
