142. Chapter 142: Emergency at the Pirate Space Station



The brilliant voice reached Chen Ming's ears through the remaining communication device in the Cloning Institute.

Chen Ming looked forced to put down the tool he was holding against the door in front of him, and said, "Nothing."

Then he turned and walked away, his eyes sweeping across the extremely harsh environment around him, and opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Huihuang did not ask any further questions.

Obviously, the Yuhui executives behind it also knew that just asking would not give the answer, so they let Chen Ming leave the research institute with the ground covered with dried flesh and blood.

Chen Ming soon arrived at the exit of the passage.

At this time, the outside of the passage was completely surrounded by Yu Hui's fleet and a large number of robots.

However, these robots and the spaceships hovering in the sky and landing on the ground did not have any special reaction to Chen Ming's arrival.

Until Chen Ming returned to the Buffalo-class ship parked at the exit of the cloning research institute passage.

Those robots entered the cloning research institute in batches, and seemed to have no intention of pursuing Chen Ming's previous actions to stop them.

Chen Ming was about to ask Huihuang Yuhui what he thought.

Huihuang explained to him directly: "Our top management has reached a consensus that we should not create unnecessary complications."

"Anything that does not interfere with the normal operation of the Qiling Nerve Extractor can be ignored. We just have to wait for the day when the Qiling Nerve Extractor is finally activated."

"And you didn't question us just now about the birth of such psychic creatures underground, so our top leaders thought it would be best for them to cooperate with you."

"You don't care about clones and the psychic creatures born from the clones, but we don't care if you suddenly enter the institute to stop us from rescuing them."

"There is a high probability that there will be no follow-up to this incident."

"OK."

Yu Hui saw through his hint and successfully maintained the delicate situation that the two sides had already maintained.

I just don’t know whether this is good news or bad news for Chen Ming. It should be both.

Chen Ming thought about it and felt that Yu Hui’s current attitude and performance did have both good and bad aspects.

The good thing is that Chen Ming doesn't have to waste his words and energy talking to Yu Hui, and can concentrate on what he has to do next.

But the bad thing is that Yu Hui's cultivation of their new spiritual awakening nerve should have reached the final stage.

Otherwise, there would be no need for them to completely eliminate the distractions of any other things and wait for that day to come.

So, he had to hurry up.

Chen Ming controlled the Buffalo-class to take off, avoiding engineering ships of various models.

However, Chen Ming suddenly became uncertain about where he should go next.

Although the deformed flesh and blood are dead, there are no more strange things in the cloning laboratory, and the laboratory on the surface should be safe.

But he was not sure whether Yu Hui's future work underground would affect the ground.

So Chen Ming directly asked Huihuang, who had accessed the Buffalo-level communication channel just after he left the institute, "So where should I go next?"

Huihuang replied to Chen Ming with a slight delay: "Mr. Chen Ming, please go back to the institute directly."

Chen Ming immediately turned the bow of the Buffalo-class ship and asked in a puzzled manner: "Huh? Will the underground research institute have any impact on the research institute on the surface?"

"No, you've already dealt with the biggest problem."

"But I mean you."

Huihuang was choked by Chen Ming, but still said patiently: "We will not damage the underground structure, please rest assured."

"That's good."

Chen Ming drove the Buffalo back to the research institute.

At this moment, an engineering ship took off and left next to the research institute.

Only the dome, which had been restored for the second time, remained.

Chen Ming quickly got off the spaceship and walked into the research institute. He found a chair in the living area and sat down. He took out the terminal and opened a document at random.

During this process, he had actually been checking the situation at the cloning institute through underground surveillance.

Before, Chen Ming took advantage of the time when the last psychic fluctuations had not completely dissipated and the signal was still blocked. In addition to dismantling several doors, he also took control of the remaining systems of the Cloning Institute.

Although most of the equipment in the entire cloning institute was damaged, there was always some monitoring that was still in operation.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for Chen Ming to just happen to be within the field of view of the few remaining surveillance cameras and stand at the door of the room where the Qi Ling Neural Extractor was placed when they were just started up.

As long as Yu Hui does not completely replace the entire system but chooses to repair it, Chen Ming can continue to control the equipment in the Cloning Institute.

Of course, this requires Chen Ming's mental power to maintain it. He can choose to disconnect it at any time, and it has little impact on his usual control of the spacecraft.

Because after Chen Ming's coma caused by Yu Hui extracting his spiritual nerves ended, the number of controllable spaceships increased directly from 4 to 10.

The mental power that can control ten destroyers and the remaining equipment in a research institute does not feel any pressure at all.

Moreover, Chen Ming had not yet adapted to the spiritual power that was enhanced by swallowing a spiritual awakening nerve.

Now, Chen Ming has adapted, so the number of spaceships he can currently control is 3.

Although the number has become smaller, the meaning it represents is different.

According to Chen Ming's research, this number is calculated based on the upper limit of the total amount of mental power that he can control.

In other words, the number 3 means that Chen Ming can now control three cruisers.

The total amount of mental power that can control three cruisers is enough to control at least thirty destroyers.

There is not much difference between a destroyer and a frigate, so there was no such obvious change when Chen Ming was able to control a destroyer for the first time.

But compared with cruisers and destroyers, it is a qualitative change.

Chen Ming's mental strength also underwent a qualitative change from being able to control a destroyer to being able to control a cruiser.

So now his panel has new changes.

In short, Chen Ming now has a considerable amount of mental energy that can be used for other things.

For example, controlling the Qi Ling Neural Extractor, controlling various equipment in the research institute, and controlling the equipment in the cloning research institute.

Monitor what Yuhui is doing without being discovered by any Yuhui.

Yu Hui has now moved the Qi Ling Neural Extractor away and should send it to another place for inspection or something.

Then the remaining robots dealt with the ruins of the research institute and took away all the dried flesh and blood inside.

Maybe it's for research, or maybe it's just for processing.

The specific approach depends on whether Yu Hui is brave enough.

At present, apart from the Qiling Nerve Extractor, Chen Ming can't see anything else that requires his special attention.

So he chose to project the surveillance footage in a corner of his field of vision and just leave it there.

He now plans to contact his boss again.

One was to continue the previous conversation, and the other was that Chen Ming wanted to ask the boss about the amber.

Chen Ming saw Amber's name the moment he got on the spaceship.

[Concentrating the Source of Spiritual Energy (Chen Ming)]

This was something he had not expected at all, that his name would appear on something like this.

However, Chen Ming was only slightly surprised. After all, this thing was influenced by the ship spirit, and the ship spirit was born from him, so it was not unreasonable for it to have his name.

And following the naming idea of ​​condensing the origin of spiritual energy, the original name should be [Condensing the Origin of Spiritual Energy (Deformed Flesh and Blood)], or some other similar name.

Just looking at the name, this thing seems to reflect the essence of a person's spiritual power.

The fact that it can help Chen Ming enter the space of consciousness does prove its effectiveness to a certain extent.

But after all, it was not made by Chen Ming himself, but something condensed from a corpse with deformed flesh and blood and transformed by the ship spirit.

It was said to be the source of his psychic energy, but he always felt it was a bit weird.

Anyway, Chen Ming couldn't figure it out. At this moment, he didn't have the knowledge that naturally grew in his mind when he sensed the appearance of the ship spirit before.

In addition, although amber is a good thing, its source is deformed flesh and blood after all, so he'd better ask the boss.

Soon the boss suddenly noticed that the terminal next to him vibrated suddenly.

He picked up the terminal, took a look and said, "Xiao Ming, are you still alive?"

Chen Ming suddenly recalled and said, "I feel like I have heard this question many times."

The boss said casually, "It's your fault that you always run into dangerous things. So...what happened? That thing just now."

"It's OK. If I didn't need to go there myself with the ship spirit, it might actually be easier to handle. Or rather, this is not something I should be dealing with in the first place."

"We should try our best to meet the needs of the ship spirits. It may save lives in the future."

The boss found an excuse for Chen Ming and then asked, "You must have seen the thing in the crack just now, right?"

"right."

"what happened?"

"?"

Chen Ming asked in confusion: "Didn't you tell me not to look before? Don't you know?"

The boss explained: "I know what it is, but I want to know what you encountered, that's what's important."

"Okay. I seem to have entered my own consciousness space."

"Consciousness space?"

The boss thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I think I understand."

"If the battle between psychics is dragged into a place like this, it means that the heart seems to be a little afraid of your ability and is using this method to gamble with your life."

"But it looks like it lost. I won't ask you about the specific image of your 'consciousness space', and you should not reveal it. This is very important for a psychic."

"I'm not stupid."

"I know you're not stupid, but you still have to explain what you need to say."

"Anyway, when you finally won, you were suddenly kicked out of the consciousness space, right?"

Chen Ming affirmed: "Yes, after I came out, I completely killed the one with the heart."

"Not bad, a support-type psychic. You can defeat something that obviously has multiple abilities. You have already gotten started in being a psychic."

Chen Ming heard the key words in his boss's words and immediately asked, "Getting started? What does it mean to get started? Don't tell me that you can only get started after playing this kind of thing."

"How is that possible? You have already entered the realm of psykers as long as you know that auxiliary psykers and protective psykers are not without combat power."

"Your future development direction can be to re-enter this consciousness space as your goal."

"When you can really get in, I will be able to tell you everything about psychic energy and all the systematized regulations."

Chen Ming reached out and touched the box in his arms, hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually... I can already get in."

"impossible."

The boss subconsciously refuted Chen Ming and said, "If a psychic can enter the 'consciousness space' you mentioned on his own, he must have a comprehensive understanding of his own psychic powers."

"That is, the potential has been fully tapped, and all that remains is to continue training. You can already see the limit of your ability."

"But your psychic power has reached its limit? Shouldn't it be?"

Chen Ming's psychic power has definitely not been developed to its full potential.

"It's just that I used a little external force."

"What external force?"

"After I killed the heart, I found something on its body."

Chen Ming sent the footage that was automatically captured by the power armor's video equipment after the previous battle to his boss.

The whole process was clearly visible, from the moment he picked up the amber with a miniature heart inside to the moment the amber was possessed by the ship spirit and finally the heart in the amber was replaced by a mini spaceship.

The boss read it silently and said, "I've never heard of such a thing. I have to ask to be sure."

"good."

Chen Ming responded and said to the boss, "Actually, just now, when I was dragged into the consciousness space by the crack in my heart, I felt a sense of danger in the consciousness space."

"It's somewhere around my consciousness space, and it may find me at any time."

"Tell me more about it."

"I can't explain this in detail. When I felt the danger, I just beat my heart with all my strength. When I was kicked out of the consciousness space, the sense of danger disappeared."

"Then I will use this thing to return to the consciousness space. The environment around the consciousness space will be completely different from before, so that thing will not be able to find me."

The boss thought about what Chen Ming said and said, "It should be that the consciousness space has magnified your perception, allowing you to perceive many extra things."

"I'm afraid what you sensed is similar to the thing that once located the approximate location of our empire."

"But I can't tell you the details. I have to meet the president first."

"The president personally experienced the last dimension infection. There are many things that only he knows. Come back as soon as possible."

"good."

Chen Ming agreed and continued, "There is one more thing."

"I had two spirit stones in my hand before, and one of them was broken just now because of the heart."

"When the spirit stone broke, it seemed like a little bit of spirit energy seeped into my body."

The boss saw at a glance that Chen Ming was really worried about the impact of spiritual energy on the human body, and he immediately explained: "Spiritual energy itself is neutral."

"It is the basis for the existence of spiritual stone, and it is also one of the materials for making psychic weapons."

"Of course, the manufacture of psychic weapons only requires the collection of scattered psychic energy, not the direct dismantling of psychic stones to manufacture them."

"But you can also embed a piece of spiritual stone yourself, and wait for the weapon from Baiquan to arrive and then you can take a look at it yourself."

"Ahem... that's getting off topic."

"If you want to ask if there are any harms when spiritual energy is absorbed by the human body, it seems that there are none at present, but there are no benefits either."

"The spiritual energy absorbed by the human body is like it has disappeared. No trace of it can be found anymore."

"There is no research to find out where the spiritual energy absorbed by the human body goes."

"In short, it has no effect on the human body, so don't worry."

Chen Ming's heart, which had been somewhat lifted, completely sank.

"Oh yeah, there's one more thing."

"Because I have to meet with the president, my original plan will have to be slightly changed. I need to discuss this with you."

Originally in Chen Ming's original plan, he could just run away after taking over the highest point given to him by his boss.

But now he had to make another detour and go back to the pirate space station, and maybe even go to another galaxy to meet the president.

Although Chen Ming was going to meet the president of the Psychic Society, he had the protection of his boss.

But he might still run into people from the war zone or Zuojing at that time.

No, Zuo Jing probably doesn’t know that he is still alive, so he just needs to pay attention to the war zone and be prepared when the time comes.

After Chen Ming stopped explaining, the boss expressed his understanding and said, "Okay, I have already made an appointment with the president. I will send you the route we will take at that time."

"Is everything else alright? Tell me first, so that I don't drag things out when I tell you in detail."

Chen Ming thought for a moment and said, "It should be gone."

The only troubles he had encountered recently were those related to the cloning research institute, and they had already been resolved.

Yu Hui will definitely not dare to continue any cloning experiments in the short term.

After verifying that the Qi Ling Nerve Extractor is fine, they will definitely feel more at ease. Wait until their Qi Ling Nerves are ready and then give Chen Ming a hard time.

Therefore, Chen Ming's affairs have been almost dealt with, and there is no need to trouble the boss with more matters.

It was time for him to start the final stage of preparation.

In fact, the itinerary after talking with the boss should be the last thing he has to do.

After all, there is a more important prerequisite for this matter, which is that he must leave the Afterglow Galaxy first.

The problems he needs to face in the process of leaving obviously require him to consider them more thoroughly.

It seems that the only way for Chen Ming to leave the Yuhui Star Domain is to know his exact coordinates and be able to quickly reach its glory through a jump.

Once the brilliant situation is exposed, there will definitely be some crazy behavior within Yuhui.

It could be aimed directly at him, or it could be aimed at the afterglows that he controlled.

So Chen Ming needed to eliminate Yu Hui's interference at that time and take away everything he needed.

Of course, it is definitely unrealistic to move all the colonies controlled by him, so he can only choose some of them.

Chen Ming had already thought of most of his plans, and what remained was to modify the details and the final stage, to make the afterglow individuals under his control move.

This requires a conversation with people like Brilliant Gamma Z who have stronger management capabilities.

However, it was impossible for Chen Ming to stand his boss up now, so he still spent about an hour discussing the future arrangements with his boss.

By the way, the boss also told Chen Ming that even the president was not very clear about the amber he picked up, and they needed to discuss it in detail when they met later.

After confirming that there was nothing else, Chen Ming hung up the call with his boss.

Ready to start his own work.

However, Chen Ming didn't have time to start.

The factory manager suddenly took the initiative to touch the terminal that Chen Ming gave him and contacted us.

Although the news that Chen Ming was not dead had already been known by Bai Quan and the people in the war zone.

But Baiquan will definitely not tell anyone, and neither will the people in the war zone.

It was because of Chen Ming that the war zone lost Sky Steel and some trust with their partners.

They must give an explanation to others, and Chen Ming's death is the best explanation.

But if they had already made public the news that Chen Ming was dead, but in the end found out that Chen Ming was not dead, then they would be in trouble.

So now, they helped Bai Quan to block the news that Chen Ming was alive, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill Chen Ming and pretend that nothing had happened.

This is the conclusion Chen Ming came to based on what Bai Quan said and the intelligence summarized by Old Wu.

So now, at least in a larger scope, such as within the scope of the pirate space station, he is still a dead man.

Therefore, the factory manager has not contacted Chen Ming actively in recent times just in case.

If you contact me suddenly now, there must be something urgent.

Chen Ming resumed communication with the factory director.

The factory director greeted Chen Ming first and gave him a brief account of the situation at the pirate space station.

To sum it up.

After Chen Ming was nominally dead.

The things he left at the pirate space station, including supplies and spacecraft, became ownerless.

In fact, according to normal logic, there would be absolutely no problem for the factory director to steal this batch of stuff and then give some to others as hush money.

But the factory manager didn't do that, so the goods just stayed there.

Chen Ming did not touch these things because he pretended to be dead.

But because Chen Ming was about to start the next stage of the plan, he asked Old Wu to cooperate with the boss to handle this batch of supplies.

So people from a company in the Pirate Space Station also set their sights on this batch of supplies, and also set their sights on the spaceship that Chen Ming had placed there.

After listening to the factory director's story, Chen Ming asked him, "So who is it?"

"Director."

"Director? The Director of the Space Station Administration?"

Chen Ming’s mind flashed back to the time when the military invaded the pirate space station some time ago. The tall figure in combat power armor swept the entire administration building.

The director had protected him before, I didn't expect...

Chen Ming suddenly felt a little regretful.

But if the director really wants to touch his interests, it is better to be mentally prepared.

Otherwise, the factory director suddenly realized that his words were ambiguous and caused Chen Ming to misunderstand something, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, it's not the previous director."

"The previous director was demoted half a level on the grounds of poor management because of problems with the management staff. He is now the deputy director."

"The current director of the space station was parachuted in from somewhere else."

Chen Ming immediately put away the regret in his heart and said, "Oh, that's okay."
