Begin strict inspections and scans of the entire cloning institute.

G3 was previously there because there were items with psychic energy fluctuations placed in the research institute.

The psychic fluctuation detector inside the institute will often scan some subtle residual psychic fluctuations.

Therefore, in general, an error value will be set for the psychic fluctuation detector, and any value that does not exceed this value will be considered as an error to eliminate the impact.

This also resulted in it not emitting that subtle periodic psychic energy fluctuation.

However, G3 now has no such problem after checking it in person.

He quickly eliminated the anti-interference errors he had set up and found the source of the psychic fluctuations.

It was in the freezer that Huihuang had just looked at, among the corpses of those defective clones.

It was obvious that G3 had already injected these defective products with a reagent that could definitely kill them when they were discarded.

But now, one of the clones still showed signs of life.

And that psychic energy fluctuation came from the clone that still had life activities.

But strangely, after a precise scan, G3 found that it was not the clone that showed signs of life.

The only real sign of life is something inside the clone's body.

G3 immediately used the tags on the clones to retrieve the recorded data that it had saved for each clone.

And found the data of this clone on it.

From the photos in the recorded data and the actual bodies dumped here, it can be seen that there seems to be no problem with the appearance of the clones.

But in fact, there was a problem with the clone's heart. In the middle stage of cultivation, the myocardium showed abnormal development and irregular growth.

So this clone was abandoned by G3 before.

G3 had never expected that this situation would occur after he had clearly given up on the clone.

It immediately dispatched robots to transport the frozen corpses back to the room next to the clone culture chambers.

There is a dissection table covered with various tools and some robotic arms with different functions extending from the wall next to it.

G3 followed the instructions of the psychic detection equipment and performed an autopsy on the corpse along the location of the psychic fluctuations.

It was found in the final results of an inspection.

The clone's body functions had actually been completely cut off long ago, and even corpse spots appeared on the corpse.

The clone's body was indeed dead, completely dead, with no possibility of struggle at all.

but.

The deformed heart inside the corpse maintained a weak vitality and was still beating slightly even now.

And every time it beats, the heart will emit weak spiritual energy fluctuations to the surroundings.

This periodic heartbeat is the source of the periodic psychic fluctuations noticed by Huihuang and detected by the psychic fluctuation detector.

However, calling this thing that emits psychic energy fluctuations a heart is not quite right.

Because after G3 dissected it out and placed it on the tray next to it, you can see that it doesn't look like a heart at all.

It is just a mass of deformed flesh and blood tissue that is still moving and emitting spiritual energy fluctuations.

After being checked several times by G3 and confirmed that there was no life activity or psychic fluctuation emanating from the corpse, it was placed in an ice coffin and pushed to the corner of the room by a robot.

This deformed mass of flesh and blood was taken to another room on the other side of the autopsy room.

There are more and more complex professional equipment here than in the dissection room.

And there are several robots delivering some new equipment here.

In addition to conducting the most basic inspection of this mass of flesh and blood, G3 also needs to use other more specialized psychic detection instruments to conduct some research on it.

Soon, two complex reports were listed in G3's database.

One of them is a normal scan of the mass of flesh and blood tissue, which shows that the mass of flesh and blood tissue is composed of normal myocardial tissue with abnormal connections.

Genetic examination of the myocardial tissue confirmed that it was indeed Chen Ming's genes, with no abnormal mutations found.

But the mere existence of this living mass of flesh and blood was the biggest anomaly.

Another report from G3 contains data from examinations related to psychic powers.

However, it only focuses on a few key lines of data in the report.

Psychic fluctuation type, psychic fluctuation complexity, and psychic activity.

The type of psychic energy fluctuation can be roughly analyzed to determine whether the detected psychic energy is an offensive, defensive, or auxiliary type of psychic energy based on the psychic energy fluctuation itself and the location of the psychic energy fluctuation.

Although Chen Ming's psychic power is auxiliary, the actual test results of G3 just now confirmed it.

The psychic energy fluctuations emitted by this mass of flesh and blood tissue that possesses Chen Ming's genes are of a protective type.

It first protected itself from the effects of the lethal injection, and then remained alive in an extremely low temperature environment, which is obviously consistent with what G3 found out.

This is normal. After marking G3, he continued to look at the next line of important data, the complexity of psychic energy fluctuations.

The complexity of psychic fluctuations is a set of data that can be seen through the details of the amplitude of psychic fluctuations.

It doesn't mean that the larger the amplitude, the higher the complexity, but the faster and more obvious the amplitude changes, the complexity of the psychic energy fluctuations will increase.

The higher the complexity of psychic energy fluctuations, the more complex the final realization of psychic energy will be, and the stronger the effect may be.

However, under normal circumstances, after a psychic uses psychic power, one can tell the strength of the effect just by looking at it, and can also roughly estimate the complexity.

It is not usually used. After all, the ultimate strength of a psychic's psychic power does not depend solely on complexity.

It is only because this mass of flesh and blood can only use psychic energy passively and instinctively that G3 needs to confirm this.

Now it seems that compared with the complexity of Chen Ming's own psychic energy fluctuations, this mass of flesh and blood tissue is like elementary arithmetic, while the other can probably be used to write a paper on linear algebra.

Moreover, the complexity of Chen Ming's psychic energy fluctuations has been increasing, especially after the failure of the first attempt to extract spiritual nerves.

In addition, various studies have shown that there is almost no connection between psychics and their clones in terms of psychic powers.

So no matter how big the gap is between the complexity of the psychic energy fluctuations of this group of flesh and blood tissue with Chen Ming's genes and Chen Ming himself, it all seems normal to G3.

In addition to confirming the psychic strength of flesh and blood tissue, it also wants to see what the difference is between a psychic and his clones.

And then it did see it.

If it had not known it in advance, it would never have imagined that this mass of flesh and blood was cloned using Chen Ming's genes.

G3 continued to mark this line and looked at the last important data.

Psychic activity.

This is a numerical value similar to the psychic strength of a psyker, but it is the same standard used to distinguish between psykers and psionic creatures.

Because only humans can obtain and master psychic power through spiritual awakening nerves, other psychic creatures do not have such things as spiritual awakening nerves. They themselves are their own spiritual awakening nerves.

Obviously, this mass of deformed flesh and blood was not formed after the clone became a psychic, but was an independent "psychic creature" from the beginning.

Although G3 is not clear about the specific criteria for judging psychic creatures, in its opinion, this thing is definitely more like some kind of psychic creature than a psychic.

It can only be said that cloning is not a normal reproductive process after all. The different tissues and organs of the clone need to be differentiated and cultivated by the original stem cells before they can be formed.

So in the process of formation, there is indeed a certain probability that this situation will occur.

But then a problem was put in front of G3.

What exactly affected this mass of flesh and blood and made it produce psychic power? Obviously, this can only be figured out through more in-depth research.

At this time, the equipment in this cloning research institute was only equipped with some equipment for daily testing of Chen Ming, and could only carry out some ordinary research.

If you want to understand the principle of the formation of this mass of flesh and blood tissue, these alone are definitely not enough.

So G3 must inform higher levels about this matter.

And it has no right to decide how to study this organization.

After all, this is the first case of their afterglow creating a psychic individual among clones.

Even if it is not a cloned psychic, it is just a clone's body tissue.

But the first case is the first case and has quite high value.

Therefore, after apologizing to Huihuang, G3 asked Huihuang to withdraw from the connection and asked Huihuang to keep it confidential.

It needs to contact senior management to decide what to do next.

Under normal circumstances, if Huihuang is a normal individual, then it is natural for it to keep this matter secret.

But now, Huihuang will only go to Chen Ming first and tell this matter.

After all, it was Chen Ming's clone that displayed psychic power, and it was part of the clone's body tissue.

No matter how you look at it, this situation is extremely strange, even in Huihuang's eyes.

It is best to be notified as soon as possible.

At this time, some time had passed since Chen Ming and Bai Quan had their chat.

Chen Ming is working on a plan to circumvent his ability to refuel the spacecraft.

He had thought about trying to use the transformation function directly to complete this idea.

However, nothing has been found that can be directly transformed or manufactured using fuel as a material, and that the transported gaseous materials cannot be conveniently stored.

Even for Zuo Jing's suicide ship, fuel is generally only used as additional filler in the space of the spacecraft, rather than a necessity.

So he could only choose to replenish fuel by transporting raw materials.

After his few attempts.

Of course, Chen Ming had transferred materials so many times before, and he already knew clearly whether solid and liquid things could be transferred, but he just wanted to confirm it again.

But gaseous materials are different. They are much more troublesome than solid and liquid materials.

Although Chen Ming has come to his senses now, thinking that he is now fully capable of manufacturing spacecraft fuel, he can use this method to ignore the problem of the difficulty in storing gaseous materials.

But Chen Ming is not the only one who needs fuel in the future. There are many other places that need to use gaseous materials besides fuel.

Moreover, spacecraft fuel itself is designed to be a very universal fuel.

In addition to on the spaceship, it can be used in various places in the colony.

Therefore, under the premise that Chen Ming has plans to develop colonies in the future, the bulk transportation of fuel and gaseous materials has become something he must do.

If Chen Ming chooses to manufacture the finished products directly around him, it would be equivalent to doing both manufacturing and transportation at the same time.

But you have to know that as Chen Ming's spiritual power increased, the most basic repair and transformation abilities he mastered from the very beginning were the basis for Chen Ming to transport materials over long distances.

The mental energy consumed by these two ways of using spiritual energy has been decreasing.

It was not the reduction in proportion that Chen Ming felt because of the growth of his own mental power, but the consumption in the real sense was decreasing.

That’s why Chen Ming had the confidence to supply the material transportation of an entire colony by himself.

But the ability [Manufacturing] has not undergone such changes, at least not yet.

The mental energy consumed is about five times that consumed by the two basic abilities when Chen Ming just mastered psychic power.

That is at least twenty times more than it is now.

If he did both things at the same time, he would definitely not be able to supply the mental energy required.

So Chen Ming had no choice but to transport the raw materials, even if the gaseous materials were difficult to preserve.

Tasks like mass production, which would put a huge strain on mental strength, still had to be handed over to professional industrial facilities.

His psychic power can only be used in emergencies at most. If he really needs to rely on the extremely energy-consuming manufacturing function to maintain the transportation of materials and the operation of the colony for a long time, he can just think about it.

So Chen Ming was thinking.

Could he make modifications inside a large gas tank so that the modified gas could be stored inside it?

Anyway, he can extract the contents from the gas tank through the gas tank. As long as the gas can be stored, it makes no difference to him where it is stored.

Chen Ming thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea.

So he just did it.

Although the ability to create psychic objects out of thin air consumes many times more mental energy than other abilities, the effect is really useful.

As long as there are enough materials stored around him or on the spacecraft he controls, he can manufacture them at will according to the techniques he has mastered in his mind. There are no restrictions except his mental power.

Of course, Chen Ming would not be so stupid as to use the materials on the afterglow spacecraft that he controlled, so as not to expose the situation of the afterglow that he controlled in advance.

There are materials that he can use around him or on the ship in the pirate space station.

Although he didn't let Old Wu do anything suicidal like hunting pirates during this period because he was already in trouble.

But he can still ask Old Wu for help in collecting the materials that some repair shops also need, so there won't be any problem.

For example, materials used to make fuel.

So Chen Ming made a cooling device he knew in the gas tank he had just made.

The device uses a liquefied gas needed to make fuel, which is very effective in absorbing heat energy.

When Chen Ming saw a long, liquid-filled device inside the transparent gas tank, he knew he had succeeded.

All he had to do was to modify the cooling device to create an openable hole, and then install the rest of the part inside the gas tank.

Liquefied gas can then leak directly from inside the device into the gas tank.

And every time he repaired the cooling device in the future, the liquefied gas would fill the entire device again, and as the opening he modified was opened, it would diffuse itself throughout the tank again.

The mental energy consumed is much less than making fuel or such a cooling device every time.

After confirming that there was no problem with this design, Chen Ming modified it again on the spot and sent these things back to the pirate space station on the spot without leaving any trace.

Of course, this means that there is no trace left on the ground next to Chen Ming.

There is nothing you can do if surveillance footage is recorded.

Moreover, Chen Ming conducted such experiments around him instead of on any random ship under his control, actually because he wanted to show it to Yu Hui.

Let them be anxious and analyze what his spiritual power can do.

Maybe they thought that Chen Ming's psychic power might continue to grow, so they slowed down their subsequent actions? Although Chen Ming also felt that it was highly unlikely, it would be a waste if he didn't try. Anyway, the manufacturing capacity itself was limited by the technology Chen Ming mastered.

Like the transformation capability, it can basically only be used on ships below destroyers, or other non-combat aspects.

At present, Chen Ming believes that the only thing that has real strategic significance and can change the outcome of a battle is maintenance capability.

But Yuhui already knew this ability, so there was no need to hide it.

Therefore, Chen Ming now has a casual attitude towards whether to expose the abilities he possesses or not.

Even if we know it, we still need to have a way to counter it.

The most that Yu Hui can do now is to avoid contact.

But as it stands, non-contact countermeasures are meaningless, as Chen Ming has already spread the afterglow he controls throughout the entire Afterglow Star Domain.

Chen Ming after testing his abilities.

He also planned to talk to his boss about the handover of Supreme Point.

The boss said that the ship has been sent to the pirate space station, but there is no detailed process for the specific handover.

So this matter must also be prepared first.

Because Chen Ming would definitely be hunted down by Yu Hui at that time, and he didn't want to be in a hurry to change boats and escape when he was being chased.

Moreover, he can also take advantage of this last period of preparation to look for Baiquan again.

Because just now after Chen Ming agreed to Bai Quan's request, he directly began to investigate the Yuhui battleship.

Relying on the Yuhui individuals controlled by Chen Ming that were spread throughout the Yuhui star field, he actually found the location of Yuhui's battleships, and there was even a new battleship of a model that he had never seen before.

In addition to the Radiation-class ship that had previously fought with the 14th Legion, Chen Ming also discovered a battleship under construction in a galaxy, temporarily named the Nova-class unmanned battlecruiser.

Although the design and manufacturing process of this battleship is managed in a fully closed manner, and the various departments responsible for manufacturing are isolated from each other, the information about the spacecraft is kept highly confidential.

However, the production of a battleship inevitably requires the transportation of a large amount of external materials.

It was this Yuhui individual who was responsible for the transportation of materials that let Chen Ming know the news. He also learned the location of this new star-level shipyard, a giant dock.

Chen Ming also secretly used the afterglow individuals mixed in to take a few photos, and instantly transferred them to his Mule-class parked in the pirate space station by modifying the function of the storage module.

After deleting the photo from Yu Hui who originally took the photo.

Chen Ming read the storage module he had just modified.

You can see that the new star design is very distinctive, in the shape of an "X" like a section of intertwined genes.

There are two huge slots in the upper right corner of the "X" for main weapons, while in the upper left corner there are some slots that are smaller than the main weapons, but larger than the large weapons.

Chen Ming couldn't figure out what the use of it was for a moment.

All I can say is that this is another asymmetrical design.

Chen Ming always felt that Tachyon Technology liked this kind of asymmetrical beauty. No, it seemed that many companies designed spacecraft with asymmetrical models.

I can only say that it is worthy of being the afterglow that has separated from humans. It will still look like this even after going out.

However, the asymmetric design itself is not a problem in space.

Such a design can bring about more complex changes in ship capabilities and does have some advantages in combat.

However, it is difficult for Chen Ming to obtain more specific information about this new star-class ship.

Moreover, even if Huihuang came, it would be useless in this regard. After all, Huihuang had no reason to contact this ship for no reason.

So this new ship must be harder to obtain in terms of intelligence than the Fallout class.

However, this is a battleship under construction that has never appeared on any battlefield. Destroying it will definitely bring greater results than destroying a radiation-class ship.

With this as the goal, Baiquan can achieve greater results.

Chen Ming wrote down all the information about the new star level, and it would depend on Bai Quan's own choice when the time comes.

Speaking of which.

Chen Ming suddenly discovered that many forces have been designing their own battleships recently.

It's not just Yuhui, it's the same with Sinda Corporation, the Conqueror class is the most obvious example.

I heard that the government has also designed two main battleships for logistics support in recent times.

I just don’t know if the military and Tachyon Technology have it.

But this is getting off topic.

Chen Ming still has to focus on the things in front of him.

In fact, when he saw this giant dock, some thoughts popped up in his mind.

Just like controlling this new star-level ship.
