After sending Gamma Z into Yuhui's star field, Chen Ming studied peacefully for two days.

As of today, he has finished reading all the technical books that Yu Hui gave him after his last review.

And I have almost finished reading the technical books from Speed ​​Technology that Old Wu gave me before.

I have finished reading all the basic-level books, and have solved 80% of the entry-level problems. The remaining 20% ​​will be caught up soon through scattered books.

Old Wu doesn't have any more advanced technical books on hand.

The only way for Chen Ming to acquire new knowledge is from Yu Hui.

So Chen Ming thought about it and decided to conduct a second review in advance, and took the initiative to contact Huihuang.

Huihuang did not have any bad attitude towards Chen Ming in the past two days and remained the same as before.

Soon Huihuang was connected to Chen Ming's communication equipment.

This time, Huihuang was just like before, and asked Chen Ming as usual: "Mr. Chen, what do you need?"

Chen Ming didn't waste any words and said directly: "I want to conduct a second review in advance."

"Okay, please wait."

Huihuang agreed decisively, and Chen Ming didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Because of Yu Hui's current attitude, he is very confused.

He could clearly feel that his workload had been increasing in recent days, at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The workload of one day can even be said to have doubled compared to the previous day.

Chen Ming's work is done by relying on psychic power. That is to say, if the workload continues to increase, it is very likely that Chen Ming will collapse from exhaustion after working for only ten minutes.

This is obviously intended to restrict Chen Ming.

But Huihuang's behavior was very normal and friendly, so friendly that even Chen Ming felt it was a little abnormal.

While working, Huihuang would occasionally take the initiative to help Chen Ming use factory equipment and help him complete some tasks that did not require the use of psychic power but required manual control.

Help Chen Ming prioritize the day's tasks in advance, and even tell Chen Ming about the next day's tasks the day before so he can prepare in advance.

These detailed arrangements did make Chen Ming's life a little easier.

But it also made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

However, although Huihuang's good intentions were wrong, Chen Ming did not intend to refuse forcefully.

I still chose to accept it, and planned to take a closer look at what glory really means later.

Soon, Huihuang delivered all the documents for the written test and the things needed for the actual operation to the factory's main control room.

When Chen Ming opened the file, he knew that the second review would not be difficult for him.

If he wanted, he could have conducted a second review the night after the first one. The only difference was that before, Chen Ming had to think before writing, but now he could write with his eyes closed.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Huihuang confirmed that Chen Ming passed the second review and was rated excellent.

After this review was passed, it also gave Chen Ming some new things.

The first and most important thing is some professional books based on the most basic Glimmer-class unmanned frigate in the Afterglow Fleet.

That is to disassemble the different components of the low-light level equipment and explain them in detail one by one.

After learning everything, Chen Ming will be able to master the manufacturing method of this microlight.

In addition to Weiguang itself, these professional books will also have one or two other books that extend along the research direction of the book.

The content is still mainly expanded in three aspects: energy weapons, radiation energy systems and shields.

Of course, there are also some other books that can help Chen Ming understand the design ideas of the Yuhui battleship.

Or some independent and special technical books.

For example, Chen Ming saw a book that introduced the technologies and differences between jump engines, hyperspace channel engines and flash engines.

As well as a supporting technical document that is still under experimentation, the content is roughly about the experimental possibility of hyperspace jump extending from the jump engine.

Chen Ming flipped through it casually.

During this period of time, even though the workload was increasing, I had almost ten hours a day to learn and increase my professional technical experience.

He discovered that this technology seemed to be feasible in his hands. It seemed that he only needed to study it a little to achieve some exaggerated effects.

This time, Yu Hui seemed to have handed over some very valuable technologies to me.

I don’t know if he is not worried at all that Chen Ming will continue to cause trouble, or if he has some other ideas.

Or is this thing, like the previous antimatter shock wave, a research direction that Yu Hui had given up? Whatever it was, Chen Ming had to sort everything out.

He can't refuse this.

In addition to these, Chen Ming suddenly found two books in the documents that had nothing to do with these.

But when he first received the documents, he seemed to have no impression of these two books.

Strange? When did you receive it?

Chen Ming read the general content of the book with doubts.

One of them is a research report on the poor compatibility between Yuhui and spirit stones and psychic energy, and the other is a book about biotechnology, which is a promising area for Yuhui's development.

It tells the story of Yu Hui finding valuable life on various planets where life exists, and then using various methods, such as professional farms or cloning techniques, to cultivate it.

Among them there is a creature called the Energy Crystal Crab.

Chen Ming couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

It is impossible for Yu Hui to know the whereabouts of Gamma Z, otherwise Gamma Z would have been finished by now.

It is probably just a coincidence that some of the content in this document is related to energy crystal crabs.

But why would Yu Hui give him this?

These two documents were very special and had absolutely nothing to do with what he normally learned.

Moreover, Chen Ming had no knowledge in this area and could hardly understand the professional terms in the book. At most, he could tell what the book was researching.

This doesn't seem right.

Chen Ming counted again. Including the two books he couldn't understand and excluding the previous ones, there were a total of forty-two files that could be considered books in the computer in the factory's main control room.

But in the computer records of the main control room, there was no trace of these two special books being entered.

The other forty copies are all recorded in great detail here.

This is not what Yu Hui should give him.

But the only one who can have access to the factory should be Huihuang.

Was this done by Huihuang? Why did it do this? Was it a test from Yuhui? Or was it...

The communications between Chen Ming and Huihuang must have been recorded and monitored.

It was impossible for Chen Ming to ask now, so he could only transfer the two books to the Iron Mine, delete the records in the computer, and conceal the matter.

No matter what the reason behind this incident is, whether it is Yuhui or a brilliant decision, there will definitely be other actions afterwards.

All Chen Ming needs to do is wait patiently.

Two days after the assessment.

Chen Ming sat in the captain's room of the Iron Ore, his eyes focused on the panel in front of him that only he could see.

At this moment, he discovered a remarkable aspect of his ability.

As long as he has learned the transformation-related technology, and as long as the technology is logically reasonable, it can be realized in theory.

Then, Chen Ming can directly install this technology where it should be installed.

Now that the technology has been installed, it is only natural to start it up.

As for why Chen Ming discovered this.

The reason lies in the previous books related to various special engines and the unfinished experiment.

Chen Ming did not learn anything else during these two days, but spent most of his time researching and summarizing this experiment.

Relying on past experiences, current knowledge and research data in books.

Eventually, a new transformation technique was learned.

[Unstable Hyperspace Channel Jump Drive]

The name of this thing looks intimidating.

But in fact it is just an advancement of hyperspace channel system technology and cannot be regarded as a degradation of jump engine at all.

After all, Chen Ming's knowledge of the jump engine, which can currently only be installed on cruisers and above, is almost zero.

Therefore, the key to this hyperspace channel jump engine is still to use hyperspace and gravity well, rather than jump.

As for its effect.

Chen Ming could only say that he knew roughly, roughly.

First of all, its startup method is similar to that of the hyperspace channel engine.

However, one advantage is that once it starts, it will not stop or be interrupted, and it can be forcibly started under the influence of blocking pulses.

After being started, it will carry the spacecraft equipped with this engine and perform an effect similar to a jump along the direction of the gravity well inside the hyperspace channel.

Since it needs to be close to a gravity well and rely on the power of the gravity well to realize its function, it does not need to be activated outside the galaxy.

Of course, in reality, this thing is completely different from the jump engine, which is a high-precision, long-distance, and large-scale jump. The nature is also completely different. The only similarity is the form of expression.

It also requires reliance on a hyperspace gravity well and the need to be equipped with a hyperspace channel engine, etc.

However, its biggest disadvantage can also be said to be its advantage.

The landing point of the jump after it is activated is unknown.

After it is launched, no one knows where it will go along the gravity well of stars in different galaxies or some massive celestial bodies.

It can only be used when you are forced into a desperate situation and gamble your life.

So when Chen Ming just mastered this technique, he couldn't help but complain.

Why is this fatal trump card again?

It was the same before. He had the trump card that could get Yuhui's support, and it would be fine if he didn't use it, but once he used it, he would most likely fall into another predicament.

It will not be used unless you are in desperate situation, and if used, it may put your life in danger.

And this time too, who knows where a random jump along the gravity well will take him? But something is better than nothing.

When it really comes to the last moment, even the most dangerous means have to be used.

And Chen Ming also saw other value here.

Not only the engine may be stabilized in subsequent research and development.

At the same time, there is Chen Ming’s own ability.

For example, this engine, or these unstable modifications and accessories.

For Yu Hui, it is very risky to use such a spacecraft that is equipped with unstable experimental equipment or is experimental in itself.

Once an accident occurs and damage occurs, the only option is to bear the huge loss and start over again.

But Chen Ming is different. Chen Ming can repair things. He can use the maintenance function to forcibly suppress all possible failures and record them.

This is very meaningful in the research and development of various weapons and equipment.

No matter how much data you have on paper, it cannot compare to an actual experiment.

So, Chen Ming decided to try to die, no, to test this unstable jump system.

Chen Ming immediately modified this [Unstable Hyperspace Channel Jump Engine] on Qu Guang.

After driving the boat outside, I started the engine directly.

Then the refraction disappeared.

Yu Hui had been paying attention to Chen Ming when the refraction was activated, and immediately noticed the abnormality.

Brilliant communication immediately rang out from Chen Ming.

After Chen Ming answered the call, he said without waiting for Huihuang to ask, "I installed the hyperspace channel jump engine in the files you gave me before on the refraction."

"I spent two days researching and came up with a conclusion."

"But as you can see, the results are very unstable."

"It entered hyperspace after it was activated, and then was torn apart by the gravity well."

At this time, Huihuang had already determined that there was nothing wrong with the first few sentences Chen Ming said.

He had personally read all the documents given to Chen Ming and knew exactly what was in them.

Naturally, they also knew what problems this semi-abandoned hyperspace channel jump engine had.

However, he obviously did not expect that Chen Ming spent two days to complete the research on this thing that could not be carried out in the experimental stage, and successfully transformed it and finally completed an experiment.

But he still said, "I know."

And report the information quickly.

Huihuang quickly received a reply and said to Chen Ming: "Engine-related experiments are prohibited from now on. All dangerous experiments must be informed to me in advance."

"no problem."

Chen Ming agreed decisively, and added: "Even if you want me to conduct such an experiment, I need a spaceship, right?"

Huihuang didn't say much and left again soon.

Chen Ming's eyes were fixed on refraction.

Of course, it is impossible for Refraction to be torn apart by a gravity well.

After activating the unstable jump device, it had already been thrown away to an unknown place.

However, based on the engine design that Chen Ming had done in his previous research, it can be ensured that even if the spacecraft is thrown away, it can still appear near the gravity well.

At this time, through the refractive sensor, Chen Ming could see the thick purple clouds and lightning outside the spacecraft.

The nearby hyperspace clouds were obviously thicker than those near the pirate space station, but there were still a few routes leading to other places.

Chen Ming did not enter the channel, but directly used the gravity well to leave this hyperspace.

Based on the data of surrounding stars scanned by the sensor and the galaxy map he had on hand.

The current position of the refraction was quickly confirmed.

It didn't stray too far from the human empire.

And coincidentally, it appeared at the intersection of Yuhui and the Mechanical Clan star field.

This narrow area where the two sides meet extends from the direction of the Human Empire, and Duguang is now at the end of this extension line.

This place usually serves as a buffer zone between Yuhui and the mechanical race, and battles don't often break out, especially in the corner where Quguang is now.

If you want to go back, although you have to go through a long buffer zone along the border, you should avoid danger if you are careful.

But Chen Ming suddenly thought of something at this time.

The star field controlled by Yuhui has a range, because Yuhui came here from the direction they once left the empire and went around the empire in a full circle.

The star field now controlled by the mechanical race also has a range, also because the mechanical race here is not the original mechanical race.

According to historical records, it seems that some mechanical races chased humans who had explored unknown star regions in the past all the way here. After being blocked by the empire, they gradually developed and settled here.

Therefore, outside the star field controlled by Yuhui and the Mechanical Clan, it is still unknown.

Now that you are at this point of refraction, you can actually try to go out and explore.

Although the Refraction is not an exploration ship, it can still conduct a rough and simple scan of the planet.

Scan the surface of the planet, take a few photos to record, confirm whether it is a habitable planet, and whether there are any mineral veins directly exposed on the surface or in the shallow layer of the surface.

Scan out a rough data, which can be used as a reference later, saving time for actual investigation in the future.

Chen Ming has not yet forgotten what his boss mentioned before, that he wants to find a suitable galaxy outside the empire's territory to establish a colony.

Although the prerequisite is that Chen Ming and Yu Hui have a good relationship.

But just like what the boss said before, finding some valuable galaxies and planets has value in itself, and it does not necessarily mean building colonies.

Moreover, when humans were exploring in the past, they always protected their own colonies and never said that they needed Yuhui's protection.

Why can't we build it ourselves? Of course, Chen Ming just had this thought now, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Matters like colonies should be left to professionals, so what he had to do now was to calculate how long the fuel could last for the voyage and leave a certain amount of surplus for the return voyage.

Then, among the galaxies closest to the refraction's current position, locate those galaxies with yellow dwarfs, orange dwarfs, and red dwarfs as stars that are most likely to house habitable planets.

A habitable planet is the easiest high-value planet for Chen Ming to confirm its value when he only has one refractor. It is also the easiest to discover.

Chen Ming planned the route very quickly.

It would not be a big deal to let the refractive autopilot arrive near the gravity well and then wait for Chen Ming to take control personally.

Chen Ming estimated that it would take about a week to survey the area about fifty light years away from this buffer zone.

After all, not all star systems have planets, and not all planets need to be approached carefully for observation.

So in this case, it is not difficult to investigate.

After arranging the action in a short period of time after refraction.

Chen Ming devoted himself to studying again.

To Chen Ming's surprise, he continued to stay in the factory safely for another week.

Yu Hui did not send Chen Ming away just because he caused trouble again.

Even Chen Ming's previous expectation that Yu Hui had almost made arrangements for him somewhere else seemed to be in doubt.

Chen Ming had no new ideas these days. Apart from studying, he was doing various tasks according to Yu Hui's requirements.

As the date changed, Yu Hui gave Chen Ming more and more complex tasks every day.

Some tasks even required Huihuang to teach Chen Ming step by step on the spot, which made Chen Ming very suspicious that Yu Hui was testing his learning ability.

Just take the test. Chen Ming doesn’t care anymore. He just wants to learn as many skills as possible.

After all, this may be his last chance to obtain technology from Yu Hui.

Moreover, brilliant teaching is definitely more efficient than Chen Ming reading books by himself every day.

Brilliance is an Alpha-level afterglow, and its ability is more than enough to teach Chen Ming.

However, as the daily workload increases, Chen Ming's mental energy consumption also increases.

The remaining energy for learning is shrinking.

And Yu Hui seemed to be deliberately controlling the amount of work, not to the extent of completely overwhelming Chen Ming, but to allow Chen Ming's mental strength to remain at a relatively medium level after work.

I can feel tired, but not to the point where I can't do anything else.

Huihuang tried his best to meet Chen Ming's need for a resting environment in the past few days. Chen Ming could get all the sleep-aiding tools he wanted, and he even prepared some extra for Chen Ming.

And time has come until the seventh day since Chen Ming sent Qu Guang away, which is today.

At the beginning of today's daily work, Huihuang delivered the work content as usual.

Chen Ming knew what it was before he even entered the warehouse.

A tachyon spear.

The name displayed on the panel is [Box-type Afterglow Tachyon Spear 01 Test Type].

Chen Ming has seen the 01 test type many times in the past few days, and Chen Ming also encountered Yu Hui's Tachyon Spear a few days ago.

But the door delivered today is very different from the previous one.

It's not only because this Tachyon Spear has an additional external accessory today, but also because there is a 0/2 spare bullet on the panel of this Tachyon Spear.

It seems to correspond to the "box type" in the name.

Chen Ming didn't say anything and repaired it as required.

Then, Chen Ming saw two capsule-shaped objects completely wrapped in metal appearing inside the external accessory.

This should be the spare ammunition for the Tachyon Spear.

Yu Hui transformed the Tachyon Spear, which relied on energy storage to achieve the final attack effect, into a mode that can attack using "bullets" that have a large amount of self-energy storage materials installed inside.

The energy accumulation time is solved by consuming spare bullets, which greatly increases the shooting speed.

That leaves the only issue left to address: weapon cooldown time.

But Chen Ming felt that this transformation method was not feasible.

Because such a transformation can be achieved even without him.

Now Yu Hui sent this tachyon spear over just to test whether he could quickly replenish the bullets of this spear.

And Yu Hui obviously knew that his psychic power could quickly cool down weapons.

Therefore, if we really want to achieve sufficient results, we have to let Chen Ming come in person.

Is Yu Hui still thinking about relying on his psychic powers now?

Chen Ming didn't think so.

What he had done before should be enough for Yu Hui to label him as dangerous. There was no way they would give him this kind of tachyon spear.

However, Chen Ming still lacked information about Yu Hui and could not infer a possible outcome.

Moreover, the more he looked at this tachyon spear, the weirder it became. Finally, Chen Ming couldn't help but ask Huihuang, "Why did you design the weapon like this?"

Chen Ming didn't expect Huihuang to answer this question, but Huihuang actually answered it.

"Because your psychic powers are still effective enough against such weapons."

Chen Ming became more confused after hearing this answer and asked, "Will you let me control the spacecraft and weapons?"

The factory's lighting system suddenly flickered abnormally.

Huihuang seemed not to notice and said, "Yuhui never trusts humans, but individuals of Yuhui never completely trust Yuhui either."

"?"

Just as Chen Ming was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, Huihuang suddenly said, "There is another notice."

"We will arrange for you to go to other star systems immediately. You have a total of one and a half days today and tomorrow to prepare."

"We will set off at 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow, Earth time."

This notice interrupted Chen Ming's thoughts.

Although it was sudden, it was still expected.

There was no detailed explanation of how glorious the situation would be in the future, but Chen Ming felt that the treatment would not be very good.

And if he left like this, it would definitely be more difficult for him to leave Yu Hui's territory again in the future.

But Chen Ming has no choice now.

If you use your brain a little, you can figure out the consequences of not cooperating.

So Chen Ming chose to be more decent and cooperate.

In fact, he now has a feeling that what he did before accelerated this process.

But again, Chen Ming will definitely accept the consequences of his own actions.

"So where exactly are we going?"

Chen Ming asked another question casually, also without expecting Huihuang to answer.

But Huihuang suddenly sent Chen Ming a star map of the Yuhui star field, which he was very familiar with.

There are only two marks on it.

One is the galaxy where Chen Ming is currently, and the other is a place very close to the galaxy where Chen Ming speculates that the replica of the Kletka supercomputer is located.

One of the colonies in the galaxy surrounding Kletka.

"here."

Huihuang left two words and prepared to leave.

However, Chen Ming suddenly reacted and immediately interrupted before Huihuang left and asked, "Huanghui, you are Yu Hui, what do you Yu Hui believe in?"

"We believe in Yu Hui herself."

After Huihuang finished speaking, he left completely, leaving Chen Ming alone in the factory.

Chen Ming has always noticed one thing, that is, when Huihuang talks about official business, that is, things arranged by Yu Hui, he usually refers to himself as "we".

Only occasionally do I call myself "I".

Huihuang just said before that not all Yuhui individuals believe in Yuhui.

The word "we" when answering Chen Ming's question later is very interesting.

But Chen Ming still couldn't be sure whether this was a test from Yu Hui.

He needed more information.

And this takes time.

So now, Chen Ming could only follow Yu Hui's request and start packing up.

However, Chen Ming was not in a hurry to start, after all, there was still time left in the day and the whole day tomorrow.

So Chen Ming simply decided to do something else to avoid being unable to spare time when he went somewhere else.

Chen Ming set his sights on the sentinel of the pirate space station and prepared to contact Lao Wu.
