What he wanted to do most now was simple. He wanted to leave the Yuhui Star Region and take revenge on those who had caused his current situation.

The existence of Glory already ensures that he can leave at any time, so the only thing left is revenge.

Fourteenth Legion.

The former head of the star zone’s military.

And those people who command the star zone military in the war zone, Old Wu told him.

In addition, there is the psychic that the boss mentioned before who prevented the boss from rescuing.

These are his goals.

Of course, Chen Ming also knew that he might not be able to do these things now, so he had a considerable degree of patience to prepare.

He had survived a month on Ramu, and he had also survived half a year of drifting alone in space. So a few more years of dormant development would be no problem for him.

However, because of this, he cannot just consider what to do now. Future survival is also something he must consider and needs to consider urgently.

And this involves his purpose all along.

Chen Ming's goals have actually been changing all the time due to changes in the situation or the achievement of goals.

And as he grows, his goals become bigger and more difficult to achieve.

In fact, his current purpose has not changed for some time.

I just want to develop myself and show more value.

To put it more precisely, Chen Ming wants to become stronger, both in terms of psychic power and in the techniques he has mastered.

That's why Chen Ming has been learning techniques and training his spiritual powers all the time.

This is a long-term goal, he will keep doing it and will never stop.

Since Chen Ming is going to attack the 14th Legion later, he will definitely not be able to survive in the empire, so his only choice is to go outside the human empire to achieve his goal.

So whether it is for the future or for his long-cherished goal.

Going to other galaxies to seek survival is what he has to do.

When seeking survival, the first thing is naturally to stay alive.

Chen Ming needs basic supplies to survive after leaving the human world.

Food, water, daily necessities, and spacecraft fuel.

These things sound common and easy to do.

However, once we leave the human world, these products of industrialization and modernization are extremely difficult to obtain.

Therefore, when Chen Ming needs to solve these problems, a colony that can produce these basic materials is the key, and it is what he must build.

This is something that is absolutely unavoidable.

Without the support of the colonies and the backing of modern industrial technology, if Chen Ming just left like that, the consequences would be obvious.

Under the dual attack of the afterglow and humans, the fuel of Chen Ming's spacecraft will be exhausted within a few days.

The next thing to be consumed in the cold of space is heat.

If he cannot find a habitable planet before then, Chen Ming may not even survive until the food and water on the spacecraft are exhausted.

Of course this is an extreme case.

Chen Ming was already considering whether his spiritual energy could solve the problem of replenishing fuel while repairing the spacecraft.

Moreover, he had already found a habitable planet through refraction before. Even if he really couldn't get basic supplies, the worst that could happen was that he would have to survive in the wild again.

What's more, as long as he is not exposed, he can still get some supplies through the pirate space station.

Of course, extreme situations are extreme situations. If Chen Ming does not think of a way to solve them, it is only a matter of time before these situations come.

It's just that extreme situations come quickly, while other situations come slowly, giving him time to prepare.

Chen Ming had talked with his boss about colonies before and knew what the most basic requirements for colony construction were.

People, materials and technology.

Chen Ming already has the most difficult person to deal with.

There is no difference between individuals of Yuhui and humans.

In some cases, it may even be better than humans.

It would definitely be better for Chen Ming to start building a colony relying on the afterglow controlled by him rather than the manpower supported by his boss.

Then there are the materials to support the early construction of the colony and the materials to maintain the operation of the colony.

The latter Chen Ming has his own reserves.

Some time ago, because pirates launched an attack on the supply fleet of his colony, the boss deliberately asked Chen Ming, who was about to cause trouble for the pirates, to change his target and tie up these pirates.

The colonial supplies stolen by the pirates were also seized by Chen Ming.

Originally, he wanted to return the supplies to his boss, but the boss refused to accept them, saying that a new batch of supplies had already been sent to the colony and this batch was no longer needed.

So we gave him the supplies and let him deal with it himself.

Chen Ming originally wanted to sell it, but no one was buying these things at that time, so it was difficult to sell.

In addition, Chen Ming thought it might be useful to keep it, so he stayed at the pirate space station.

I didn't expect it to be really useful now.

Excluding the supplies for the people working in the colony, the remaining materials are enough to support the initial development of the colony.

As for the start-up materials for the colony, Chen Ming will later ask Gamma Z to arrange for the afterglow individuals in different departments to start collecting them.

Not only can you collect supplies, but you can also collect some colonial facilities where supplies are difficult to collect but equipment can be collected.

When the time comes, pack them all up and take them away when you jump.

After these supplies are consumed, the colony will be able to become self-sufficient.

The colony will still need external supplies for some time.

By then, Yu Hui would definitely not give Chen Ming any chance to cheat.

So he could only think of solutions from humans or other places.

In fact, the boss can also provide some sources of supplies.

Although Chen Ming has decided not to get excessive help from others, he can still try to seek material help that he can fully afford.

It depends on whether the boss is willing.

After all, that was the purpose the boss expressed when he first mentioned building a colony.

But it was not a colony that Chen Ming had imagined, a colony under his complete control, but a colony that he and his boss owned in half.

So it was normal for the boss to be unwilling, and Chen Ming had to find a way to solve it himself.

It may be a bit difficult to find a way to solve the material problem of the small colony during the transition period.

After all, the bulk of the material consumption in colonial construction is not just spent on various infrastructures.

There are also materials to maintain the operation of various facilities and materials that enable these facilities to produce output. These two aspects also account for a large part of the colony's material gap.

Fortunately, Chen Ming now has the Brilliance, and a Brilliance-class cruiser can do a lot.

Even if Chen Ming does nothing now, and just drives the Brilliant Ship out to kill pirates with bounties of over 100 million in various places, he will not lose money on fuel by exchanging these pirates for bounties.

Using this money to exchange for supplies, and then scraping together some money from other places, it should be able to last for a while.

As long as we can get through the most difficult early stages, the gap in materials will be much smaller when the colony develops steadily later.

From this point of view, the long-distance transportation of materials, which is normally the most troublesome, is not a problem for Chen Ming at all.

With his current mental strength, it is definitely not a problem for him to support a small colony and transport supplies over long distances by himself.

As for the technology needed to build the colony.

Mainly the technologies of various infrastructure and expansion facilities.

Including infrastructure, space ports, interstellar stations, industrial zoning, ground defense facilities, etc.

And all these technologies can be solved by just one Huihuang.

Huihuang is usually an Alpha-level afterglow individual that controls a galaxy's colony, and has a very high level of technical mastery over a galaxy's colony.

As long as there is a set of basic industrial production facilities and a coordinated production line.

All that’s left is to have enough supplies and use Glory to build the entire colony.

So after solving these three problems, only the last problem needs to be solved urgently.

Suitable galaxies for colonization.

Chen Ming had discovered several valuable planets before, but that was the only valuable planet.

Chen Ming needs that all the planets in a galaxy have value.

Similar to the star region capital of the Galo star region.

The seven planets in this galaxy include at least two mineral planets and one industrial planet to ensure the development of the galaxy's industry.

There is also a gas giant and an ice giant to ensure various noble gases and a large amount of volatiles including rare isotopes of light elements such as deuterium.

It also has a volcanic planet with a lot of geological activity.

Although Chen Ming didn't know what was good about such a dangerous planet, but according to his understanding.

As long as there are colonies and patrols in the empire, the patrol headquarters will be placed on the volcanic planet, making the volcanic planet a military planet.

So without knowing the specific situation, if Chen Ming wanted to build a colony, it would be best to have such a planet.

In addition, there is even a habitable planet in the star system of the star region capital.

The entire galaxy has everything. A galaxy can be self-sufficient and does not need material supplies from other galaxies.

For Chen Ming, such a galaxy is the perfect colonization galaxy.

As for the probability of such a galaxy appearing...

Chen Ming thought it would be better to take a look at the demolished research institute industrial zone in the distance.

In short.

Chen Ming now needs an exploration ship to explore and investigate outside the star field.

At the same time, he can also drive the exploration ship out to explore personally, and solve temporary survival problems and colony site selection problems at the same time, as long as he reserves enough fuel.

It's just that the amount of fuel a spacecraft can store is limited.

So Chen Ming has already started to think about how to use his psychic power to exploit the fact that the repaired spacecraft cannot be refueled.

He will then try to install miniaturized fuel production equipment on the spacecraft, and then use psychic power to send the fuel production materials back over long distances.

Part of the material used to produce fuel is gas, and he is not really sure whether it will work.

But for an exploration ship, Chen Ming has to solve more than just the problem of fuel.

There is also the question of sources.

Because exploration ships are all armed ships, it is actually not easy to purchase this type of ship through formal channels.

After all, exploring unknown star regions is a very dangerous thing. Even with the protection of a fleet, the safety of the exploration ship itself is difficult to guarantee.

If an accident occurs on the exploration ship, the entire exploration mission may be terminated.

Therefore, exploration vessels must have combat capability to protect themselves no matter what.

Under normal circumstances, to purchase an exploration vessel, an organization would either directly apply for it or say it wants to go out for exploration.

If you are purchasing it as an individual, you must have an armed vessel license.

However, licenses and the like are minor issues. Chen Ming can even buy a Centurion for military use, let alone an exploration ship that only requires an armed ship license.

But the key issue now is that Chen Ming is considered dead now, and he does not want to let humans know that he is still alive for the time being.

He could buy the supplies mentioned above from other star regions, but he didn't dare to let others do something like buying spaceships, nor could he let others do it.

Because Chen Ming himself does not have as broad a network as Lao Wu.

So, even if it is not Chen Ming who buys it personally, but Old Wu who buys it on his behalf.

Anyone who has been paying attention to Chen Ming will definitely notice these things.

It is impossible for Old Wu to buy an exploration ship for no reason, so there is no need to say who actually bought the ship.

It would do him no good if the fact that he was still alive came to light.

Once the Fourteenth Legion notices that Chen Ming is still alive, they will definitely be more vigilant towards him than ever before, and may even continue to find ways to kill him.

After all, his being still alive was definitely not a good thing for the previous fleet commander and the person who made the decision to kill him.

People like Chen Ming should either be rescued or killed completely to prevent future troubles. But now they have taken action but not killed him. This is pure shamelessness.

They are absolutely aware of this.

So I definitely don’t want to see Chen Ming still alive.

But it is impossible to organize a fleet of the same size again.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the Fourteenth Legion will come and kill him again, but they might attack someone who knows him in order to force Chen Ming to show up.

Chen Ming was not worried about the safety of Factory Director Lao Wu and others.

After all, they have the protection of both their boss and the company.

Chen Ming had heard the factory manager almost call the company chairman "old thing" before.

This company was unable to protect the mining space station before because they did not know the existence of Sky Steel at that time and did not dare to offend the local military for a few ordinary employees.

But if the company cannot even protect the chairman’s descendants, then the company will just go bankrupt.

Old Wu is also a sly old man. With the boss and the factory manager protecting him, basically nothing will happen to him.

But the problem is that Chen Ming's planned revenge will be difficult to implement because of their vigilance.

So considering this, this exploration ship is a bit difficult to handle.

Chen Ming thought about it and decided to just ask Yu Hui directly.

It’s best to give it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t.

Anyway, Chen Ming is gambling now, and Yu Hui is also gambling.

Chen Ming bet that he could get benefits from Yu Hui and get away with it safely.

Yu Hui was betting that they could restrain Chen Ming and extract his spiritual energy a second time.

In order to keep Chen Ming safe and not let him run away or commit suicide, paying some price should be acceptable to them.

Chen Ming and Huihuang can help play a double act, so it should not be difficult to get some benefits from Yu Hui.

This is something we both want.

If the money is not given in the end, Chen Ming might as well contact the boss directly.

Although the factory director, Lao Wu, must be under surveillance by various forces now, there will definitely be no such problem on the boss' side.

The boss can definitely build an exploration ship without leaving any trace, and Chen Ming can also afford the cost of an exploration ship.

As long as Chen Ming can avoid the surveillance of all his spaceships by others and contact the boss.

And it’s actually not difficult to achieve this.

He used the engineering ship under his control at the repair shop.

Chen Ming always has the highest authority over the ship he controls, and it is the simplest thing for him to modify the recorded data of the spacecraft.

The second factory manager and Lao Wu had good reasons to go out to work on the engineering vessel.

In the space outside the space station, as long as there are only the factory director Lao Wu and two people on the spacecraft, what happened on the ship will always be known by only the two of them.

And after Chen Ming's abilities improved, he also thought of a new way to contact them.

Right now, he could control any unmodified mechanical object he had touched or placed on his spacecraft.

Personal terminals are also included.

Chen Ming can directly use his ability to control the terminal and communicate by typing or voice broadcasting on it.

There is no need to communicate between the spacecraft's communication equipment and the terminal.

Although it seemed that Chen Ming could do this before, he needed to modify the terminal before, so he couldn't think it through.

But it’s not too late to think about it now.

As long as the factory director and Old Wu go on the engineering ship together to carry out the mission, Chen Ming can get this matter done.

The next step is to wait for the exploration ship to arrive and for Yuhui’s second experiment to begin.

Then it was time for Chen Ming to take real action.

In addition to the preparation work, he also had some extra things to do during this period.

For example, get back the Radiance-class that kidnapped Gamma A.

Chen Ming has been eyeing it for a long time, and Huihuang must be able to assist him in this regard.

"Oh, that's right."

A dangerous expression suddenly appeared on Chen Ming's face: "Where is the core of G3?"

Huihuang was very clear about the purpose of Chen Ming's sudden question to Chen Ming, who had been silent for a long time and seemed to be thinking about something.

But it won't have any opinion on it.

Its idea is to be realized with Chen Ming as the core, but Chen Ming's own ability conflicts with Yu Hui.

This means that if it wants to use Chen Ming to realize its idea, then Yu Hui will inevitably make sacrifices, and it is no exception.

So why, couldn't the G3 be first?

So it answered without hesitation: "The orbiting space station."

While Chen Ming was pretending to be holding the terminal, he was actually having a very happy chat with Huihuang.

In the core galaxy of the Afterglow star field, at the BP-55 colony where the replica of the Kletka supercomputer is located.

After Chen Ming took the initiative to suggest that they stop here today and picked up the terminal to pretend.

The several Alpha-level Afterglow individuals in charge of Kletka who had been monitoring Chen Ming all stopped monitoring Chen Ming.

They quickly exchanged their opinions on the internal communication platform.

"The psychic detector still cannot detect Chen Ming's psychic strength. It is covered by some kind of power."

"But through Chen Ming's mental state, we can still analyze some situations."

"Chen Ming is in good mental state and shows no signs of trying to hold on, which means he is not injured and has even gained something."

"Artificial ineffective spiritual awakening nerves do have similar effects."

"It will rely on its own aggressiveness and strength to absorb the psychic's spiritual nerves, transform itself, and become a spiritual nerve that possesses the psychic's spiritual power."

"Under normal circumstances, the transformed spiritual awakening nerves will be extracted. However, if they are not extracted or cannot be extracted, it is indeed possible to enhance the spiritual power of the psychic."

"No, Chen Ming's psychic power is not affected by the strong tendency of the new spiritual awakening nerves, which are difficult to control."

"This means that it is not the artificial spiritual awakening nerves that devoured his spiritual awakening nerves, but his spiritual awakening nerves that devoured the artificial spiritual awakening nerves."

"But the artificial ineffective spiritual awakening nerves used in the extraction device have been specially cultivated by us, and they are more brutal than regular spiritual awakening nerves."

"Moreover, Chen Ming's spiritual power is not an offensive type of spiritual power. The instinct of the auxiliary spiritual nerves cannot prevent the specially cultivated spiritual nerves from devouring it."

"There are other interferences in this experiment, the stimulation of the Liar Spirit Stone, and the self-driving spaceship."

"The Liar Spirit Stone only played a supporting role. The key lies in the spaceship."

"G3 has already confirmed that Chen Ming's brain waves were very stable while the spacecraft was in operation, and he had indeed fallen into a coma."

"According to G3's scan of the remaining environment, it discovered that after the spacecraft was destroyed, psychic fluctuations entered the research institute from the wreckage and entered Chen Ming's body."

"It's a ship spirit, a psychic creature born from psychic energy."

"Only creatures that have been in an artificial psychic environment for a long time can give birth to such creatures."

"Although we have not discovered any actual examples and have not conducted any accurate investigations, humans do have some records of these psychic creatures."

"Most of these psychic creatures appear on ships driven by psychics, and only a few appear on the personal belongings of psychics."

"Because they are not valuable when kept on personal items, most of these psychic creatures are eventually transplanted onto spaceships. Hence, they are called ship spirits. Spaceships that are attached to ship spirits are collectively called psychic spaceships."

"Under normal circumstances, ship spirits only have instincts that can be guided by psychics. However, there is one special thing. A part of the psychic power of psychics will also be manifested in the spacecraft that has been controlled by the ship spirit for a long time."

"There is only one explanation for Chen Ming's situation."

"What effect will Chen Ming's psychic ship spirit have on the spacecraft?"

The rapid communication between several Alpha-level afterglows suddenly stopped for a moment inside the platform.

"What if a psyker dies?"

"The ship spirit will also die, but before it dies it will madly release its spiritual energy, causing great damage to everything around it."

"Looks like we'll need to prepare a few extra things by then."

"What?"

"Silent Alloy."
