108. Chapter 108: Tight Time, Restrictions on Going Out



The Iron Ore's forced landing location was just right, with its hatch facing the mine tunnel.

At the same time, a small explosion occurred at the hatch of the Iron Ore, and the hatch was blown open.

Under the cover of countless falling rubble, the mining robot, which looked a bit tattered from the explosion, quickly slipped into the mine tunnel and rushed directly underground . Chen Ming wanted to take advantage of this moment to take action against the two afterglow AIs in his plan.

Connect them to the robot controlled by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming had left some small monitoring equipment he had made last night at the mining site yesterday.

A mini camera, with a matching mini power supply, is not complicated and the effect is simple.

The surveillance cameras installed in some blind spots deep in the mine tunnel allow Chen Ming to remotely view the situation there.

So Chen Ming has now confirmed that there are two robots controlled by Yuhui in the mine, moving hurriedly to the ground.

At this point they had lost contact with the upper parts due to damage to the signal repeater caused by the explosion, and were about to crash head-on into the mining robots that were descending.

The reason why Chen Ming was so eager to take action instead of waiting for other opportunities.

This is because Huihuang asked Chen Ming a few days ago whether he had any special requirements for his living environment.

Chen Ming didn't react at the time, but later he suddenly realized the other meaning contained in the word "glorious".

At present, the industrial colony of Yuhui where Chen Ming is located is located in a relatively marginal position in Yuhui's territory on the star map that Gamma A gave him last time.

Therefore, Yu Hui's placement of Chen Ming here must be only temporary, and he will be transferred to another place sooner or later.

Chen Ming has always been aware of this, but he always thought it would happen later.

It was not until Huihuang asked that question that he knew this day was coming.

If Yu Hui wants to transfer Chen Ming, he must first set up a more rigorous environment to control him.

Secondly, Yu Hui and the others need Chen Ming to work for them, so providing them with a good living environment is definitely necessary.

So Chen Ming realized Huihuang later and asked him why.

And just a few days ago, Yu Hui converted these three factories into an environment suitable for human work in just one night.

To transform the environment into one suitable for human habitation, even if it requires transplanting some vegetation and ensuring a certain ecological environment, it will take at most a few days.

If Yu Hui had developed a habitable planet himself, the efficiency would definitely be higher.

And if Chen Ming was really taken by Yu Hui to a place that was more carefully arranged, it would be difficult for him to find such a good opportunity to contact Yu Hui again by himself.

So after careful consideration, he decided to take action if he had the chance.

Chen Ming was lucky, but Yu Hui didn't seem to be lucky, so they didn't prepare to transfer him in the past few days.

He has delayed until now and found a decent opportunity.

In addition, Yu Hui has now begun to speed up the progress of Chen Ming's ability testing, and Chen Ming has also shown great cooperation.

In other words, even if Chen Ming caused something unexpected now, the most Yu Hui would do was to increase his supervision over him until he was transferred to another place.

But it doesn’t matter. Even if he doesn’t do this, Yuhui will definitely not change their plans.

Chen Ming still has to go to other galaxies, he doesn't have much time left.

Chen Ming's lack of time now is not only reflected in his personal freedom, but also in the mining field.

Less than two minutes had passed since the explosion.

The mining robot controlled by Chen Ming has not gone down a few floors.

Several of Yuhui's escort-class ships have already landed on the ground from space.

At the same time, Huihuang's communication was also sent, asking about Chen Ming's situation.

Chen Ming immediately explained according to the words he had thought of before: "My spaceship was just passing by the mining site when it was hit by something blown away by the explosion, causing the engine to shut down. I am trying to restart the spaceship."

"Please hurry up and don't affect the actions of the subsequent rescue boats."

What Huihuang said made Chen Ming feel a little strange.

It is not known whether Huihuang has not received more specific and detailed information yet, or whether he has already known the situation at the scene but has not suspected him.

But immediately afterwards, the Iron Ore suddenly detected that there was a detection device scanning the Iron Ore and the surrounding areas.

Chen Ming knew that Yu Hui’s ship was not scanning the iron ore, but scanning the situation underground.

The few Afterglow ships that arrived at the fastest speed near the Iron Ore were just temporary emergency spacecraft, and the scanning equipment they were equipped with could only scan forty to fifty meters at most.

However, there is space in the mine tunnel itself that allows the scanning signal to go deeper.

Therefore, they should be able to scan the current location of the robot.

Just as Chen Ming thought.

Huihuang asked Chen Ming a question again.

And this time it was not a question, but a doubt.

"Mr. Chen, why is your robot down there?"

It seems that Huihuang did not receive any detailed information just now, so he did not suspect Chen Ming at the beginning.

But now it's different.

Chen Ming certainly couldn't say that he wanted to blow up the mining farm and give him a chance to try to control the Afterglow AI.

Continuing with what he had considered before, he said, "My robot was hit during its forced landing just now. It seems that some parts inside were damaged. I lost control of it, and then it rushed out."

"This is the last error data sent back by my robot. Do you want to take a look?"

Chen Ming transferred a data packet to the factory computer.

The data packet was not forged by Chen Ming, but was real, because Chen Ming did tamper with the robot.

It was planned that at some point it would actively trigger the error designed by Chen Ming in the program, and directly use the explosives he carried with him to blow up the hatch that had the explosion-proof airtight door and most of the Baiyun steel material removed by Chen Ming.

Only then will Chen Ming be able to control the mining robot through his abilities.

This turns all seemingly deliberate things into coincidences.

Just as Chen Ming sent the data packet to the factory computer.

The second big explosion occurred here in the mine.

Another collapse occurred near the mine tunnel, and half of the Iron Ore sank directly into the ground.

At this time, Chen Ming immediately said to Huihuang: "The signal of my robot is cut off."

At the same time, corresponding to what Chen Ming said.

With the explosion, a large amount of crushed rocks completely blocked the upper mine passage.

With the internal power grid of the mine destroyed and the signal repeater disconnected, it is difficult for the scanning equipment to continue in-depth exploration in a completely enclosed space.

They also immediately lost control of Chen Ming's robot's position.

Deep underground it was already pitch black compared to the afterglow on the surface.

At least that is the case until ships with more powerful scanning and detection capabilities arrive.

However, for Chen Ming, the underground now seemed to be completely under his control.

So he had to hurry.

Huihuang was already full of doubts at this time.

But Chen Ming has been very cooperative in recent days and has no intention of resisting at all.

And based on its observations during this period, it indeed believed that Chen Ming was unable to control anything outside the spacecraft.

But some things are right in front of us, and we can't completely get rid of the relationship just because of Chen Ming's recent behavior.

Huihuang said to Chen Ming again: "Mr. Chen, we need you to explain the cause of this explosion."

"Our mining farm does not use any items that could cause explosions of this magnitude. The thing that could cause this must be your mining robot."

Chen Ming said as if he didn't know either: "I don't know. I did let my mining robot carry some explosives, but I never let it use them."

"Maybe... there were some problems with my robot before? My mastery of robotics technology is not superb."

"The transformation was also done using a transport robot. You have seen it before."

"I feel like there was something wrong when I was remodeling it and I didn't notice it."

"Wait a moment."

As Chen Ming spoke, he called up all the operation records of his control over the mining robot on the computer of the Iron Mine.

As well as the mining robot’s own chip operation data which has a factual backup on the computer.

Sent them all to the factory computer.

"I know you're doubting me now, but there's no reason for me to be idle and blow up a mining site. How would that benefit me?"

Huihuang accepted the data, but still said: "Mr. Chen, whether or not to doubt is our business."

"I know, so I will cooperate with you."

Chen Ming said this and did this, and even took the initiative to explain and took part of the blame on himself.

This way, when Yu Hui finds out the results of his investigation, it will be convenient for him to provide relevant guidance in this regard.

After all, he did mix some vulnerabilities into the behavioral logic chip of the mining robot.

These loopholes will cause the mining robots to receive some inexplicable false commands.

Although there are two sets of data as a basis, Huihuang has also discovered loopholes in the robot data.

But at this time it still didn't quite believe Chen Ming's statement.

Because all this was too coincidental, so coincidental that it seemed as if everything was carefully planned.

However, there was nothing it could do at this time.

Because most of the places in the mine tunnels are monitored, of course, they are no longer there because of the explosion.

However, yesterday, almost all areas of the mine were under Yuhui's surveillance, except for the newly excavated area at the deepest part of the mine, with only a few blind spots.

But given the size of the mining robot, these blind spots are hardly blind spots.

Chen Ming's mining robot was only out of Yu Hui's surveillance for a short while when it was mining near the newly excavated mine tunnel deep underground.

All the brilliant video footage has just been reconfirmed. It can be said that Chen Ming's robot has absolutely no time to deploy a large amount of explosives that could cause such a powerful explosion.

Moreover, there is currently no direct evidence to prove that Chen Ming was responsible for the failure of the signal repeater.

So although Huihuang is full of doubts now, there is still no substantial evidence to prove that all this was planned by Chen Ming from beginning to end.

"Mr. Chen, your spaceship's permission to go out has been temporarily revoked. Please return your spaceship immediately. We need to ensure safety."

Huihuang didn't say whose safety was to be ensured, but it doesn't matter whose it is.

Chen Ming's goal has been achieved.

He acted quite cooperatively and said, “I’m doing that.”

The bottom engine of the Iron Ore's landing module burst into flames again, pulling the ship up from the rubble that had almost completely buried it.

Chen Ming didn't stop at all and let it return directly.

The scattered rubble completely blocked the entrance to the mine, which had not collapsed due to the support of the Iron Ore.

The rest of the Afterglow ships that had been standing still on the sidelines immediately sent out a large number of robots carrying heavy equipment to approach the ruins.

And Chen Ming's mining robot has found an opportunity deep underground.

The two explosions that just occurred looked terrifyingly powerful.

But in fact, it was only the heavy pressure of the underground explosion that blew away the top layer of rock and collapsed the upper mine tunnel.

Although the lower mine tunnel was damaged to some extent, it still managed to maintain its functions, but the equipment inside was basically destroyed in the explosion just now.

So the mine tunnel is now pitch black, but this does not affect the mining robot, which turns on its night vision goggles and speeds up its pace under Chen Ming's control.

And soon, the two robots equipped with the Yuhui AI core that were Chen Ming's target were found deeper in the cave.

They immediately became alert after discovering the mining robots.

But the weapons Chen Ming had installed before were specifically for this moment.

The armed mining robots quickly paralyzed the maintenance robots.

Even though there were two maintenance robots and they were controlled by Afterglow AI, the result did not change.

The two gamma-level AI cores were quickly removed by Chen Ming.

At the same time, he also opened the storage space of the mining robot, which contained the interface of the Afterglow AI core he designed.

When Chen Ming controlled the mining robot's robotic arm and moved the AI ​​core close to the interface.

He unconsciously became nervous.

He has great confidence that the Afterglow AI installed on the robot will be controlled.

But before it is actually realized, Chen Ming's confidence cannot guarantee that the probability of success is 100%.

If he fails, Chen Ming will have no choice but to bury all the evidence under the mine tunnel.

At the same time, he placed his remaining hopes on the two AI cores that he had already controlled.

When Chen Ming connected the Yuhui AI core to the mining robot, the tension in his heart reached its peak.

However, when he saw two more AI cores in the [Controlled AI Individuals] column on the panel, he suddenly relaxed.

If it can be controlled, then everything can continue according to Chen Ming's plan.

Chen Ming did not stop the mining robot, but continued to approach a maintenance passage closest to the stamping machine.

Although the stamping machine has stopped working due to the explosion, it itself is not damaged and is directly connected to the core equipment of the entire mining site.

Chen Ming quickly found a special maintenance excuse on it and took out the adapter he had prepared in advance from the mining robot.

He connected the Afterglow AI core that he had already controlled into it.

Chen Ming's psychic power invaded the stamping machine like a virus, and also invaded the core control equipment of the mining farm connected to the stamping machine.

And locked onto the last gamma AI connected to the core control device of this mining farm.

Chen Ming's spiritual power was like a virus. It invaded its body in an instant and completely controlled it.

At this point, the mining farm and the three Gamma AIs all fell into Chen Ming's hands.

A few minutes later, a third huge explosion occurred deep underground in the mine tunnel.

This explosion was more powerful than the previous two. It not only caused the entire mine tunnel to collapse, but also

And just in the past few minutes.

Chen Ming had the mining robot unplug the AI ​​core, and used the AI ​​core connected to the control device to completely delete the internal access record of the AI ​​core before uploading the data to the factory.

The two AI cores were also installed back into the original robot.

After placing two robots equipped with the Afterglow AI core, he found a suitable location and directly chose to detonate the explosives they carried with them.

Chen Ming relied on the external brain of a blasting expert to control the power of the explosion as much as possible.

Even if the mining robot was blown up, the two Afterglow robots should be able to survive the explosion.

Soon they will be dug out and taken away by Yuhui who comes to rescue them.

Under normal circumstances, even if there is no problem with these two afterglows, they will inevitably undergo a lot of scrutiny, but the scrutiny will definitely not produce any results.

There will not be any psychic energy fluctuations on the objects controlled by Chen Ming's ability.

And under his order to keep everything normal, there would definitely not be any abnormal behavior, let alone reveal Chen Ming's situation.

The afterglow on the two robots may be transferred after review, may continue to stay, or may continue to be monitored like Gamma A for quite some time.

It is even possible that it would not experience all of this, but would be destroyed directly underground due to an explosion or mine collapse.

No matter what the result is, Chen Ming will not be affected.

Because that robot had no contact with Chen Ming at all, the gamma AI that controlled the mining site itself was controlled by him, which was the most critical part of Chen Ming's plan this time.

This Yu Hui is the most important executor of Chen Ming’s next plan.

Yuhui will definitely have some scrutiny and suspicion towards it, but compared to the two Yuhuis underground, it will definitely be more relaxed.

Because Chen Ming has not currently demonstrated the ability to remotely control the spacecraft, or even control the afterglow AI.

Yu Hui couldn't possibly doubt this.

It’s not that Chen Ming thinks Yu Hui’s thinking is so rigid.

But it is because, if Yu Hui really suspected this, then Hui Huang, who had been responsible for supervising Chen Ming, Hui Yao who had had contact with Chen Ming before, and even all the Yu Hui individuals in the entire Yu Hui colony, would all be suspects.

Therefore, unless Yuhui suspected the entire colony, there was no sufficient reason to suspect Yuhui AI, which had no contact with Chen Ming at all, for a long time.

As long as this afterglow AI can be preserved, Chen Ming will have ample opportunities to do something very important to him.

The Iron Ore returned to the factory.

Yuhui still needs to continue excavating the mining site.

Brilliance is not the commander-in-chief of this matter, so it still has time to do other things.

For example, reporting to superiors and revising Chen Ming's daily report.

The risk rating in Chen Ming's daily report had already been reduced to a medium level in the past few days.

But after what happened today, it has been raised to a high level of glory again.

If any problems are found during their subsequent searches and investigations of the mining sites, Chen Ming's risks will continue to rise.

They will inevitably take some measures against Chen Ming.

Of course, it is not a direct harmless disposal. Chen Ming has demonstrated his ability in the process of cooperation in the past few days.

Huihuang knew that their scientific research individuals were already designing some test weapons based on Chen Ming's abilities, and were also designing weapons that could rely on Chen Ming's abilities to achieve special effects based on the results of the tests in the past few days.

Therefore, even if targeted measures are to be taken against Chen Ming, it will definitely not be to kill him directly.

Of course, if it was Chen Ming who had just been brought back and did such a thing, the possibility of directly disposing of him harmlessly would be very high.

But now, how to treat Chen Ming in the future will be determined by the results of the investigation into the mine explosion.

The Iron Ore flew back to the factory and stopped inside the factory at Huihuang's request.

Moreover, Huihuang directly locked the factory gate and temporarily imprisoned Chen Ming in the factory.

Chen Ming's permission to go out was physically revoked.

Chen Ming also decided to behave himself for a few days and fully cooperate with Huihuang in his work.

He acted as if he really didn't do it and he just needed a reasonable result.

Chen Ming didn’t know whether Huihuang believed it or not, but no matter whether he believed it or not, he had already done what he had to do.

When he is able to get out later, it will be time for him to be transferred.

In the next few days, Chen Ming plans to rebuild a robot.

The transport robot was very convenient to use before, so Chen Ming planned to replicate one.

The technical book that Old Wu gave was very complete, so complete that Chen Ming could even add vulnerabilities to the robot's chip at will.

Therefore, it should be enough to rebuild one with so many devices inside the factory.

Huihuang only revoked Chen Ming's permission to go out, but Chen Ming can still use other permissions within the factory.

Just as Chen Ming was thinking about the drawings of the robot.

Old Wu suddenly scratched the sentry twice.

Chen Ming sent a message immediately, but Old Wu refused.

Chen Ming immediately became alert and looked over, but he didn't find anything special about Old Wu.

In doubt, he opened the hatch for Lao Wu and let Lao Wu enter the spacecraft.

After entering the captain's room, Old Wu spoke up, "Xiao Mu, your spaceship is almost here. It has been transported from the prosperous star field to the star field capital. It will be delivered in about a day using normal logistics."

"oh?"

Chen Ming was a little excited. He had been waiting for this Storm-class ship, in which he had invested a lot, for a long time.

At this time, Chen Ming subconsciously glanced at Gamma B.

While Chen Ming was busy these days, Gamma B had already completed several tasks issued by Yuhui internally and obtained some mechanical chips as mission rewards.

It has reached the limit of gamma-class AI, reaching the beta level, and is currently in the process of replacing its core.

"I understand. I will make arrangements on my side."
