But the boss still felt something was wrong and said, "But since you already exist in our universe, doesn't it matter whether you and the president meet or not?"

Chen Ming immediately denied it: "No, I don't think it's right."

"I do exist, but when those things in another dimension locate me and the president, they should only be able to locate two independent points."

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Chen Ming didn't have this feeling before, until he really planned to set out to find the president, he was sweating profusely.

Of course, Chen Ming couldn't be so direct, so he changed his words to something that sounded relatively reasonable: "We don't completely correspond to another space like hyperspace does. There must be many complex and even distorted influences in between."

"Being able to locate the Empire for twenty years means that they can confirm the location of the infection in our universe through dimensional infection."

"But twenty years later we lost our position again, which means that the relative position changes between the dimensions made it impossible for them to continue to locate."

"According to our understanding, this change in relative position must have a traceable path, since those things are not continuing to track it."

“This shows that for them, the changes in the relative positions of dimensions are random.”

"This process of change caused a distortion from our universe to their dimension."

"Even if the president provided a coordinate, they would not be able to find our location, because the coordinates provided by the president and I have become random after experiencing the changes between dimensions."

The boss suddenly thought of a question at this time and asked, "Then do you think it is possible that they can't locate us through people who have experienced dimensional infection?"

Chen Ming used his psychic power to slightly control his supreme point, and the idea of ​​going to find the president flashed through his mind.

The next moment, the sense of danger came again.

So Chen Ming answered very confidently and decisively: "No, they can definitely determine our coordinates through me and the president."

"It's just because the president and I haven't had any actual contact yet."

"And after the last dimensional change, they probably didn't know exactly where the second dimensional infection occurred in our universe."

"It's even unclear whether they are clones from the same empire or even the same species."

"To be honest, this second dimensional infection was also caused by Yuhui, not humans."

"Even if they know our human genes, they can't be sure that they are clones made by humans themselves."

"Wait, that doesn't seem right. Just ignore what I said."

Chen Ming suddenly remembered the sense of danger he had felt in the universe of consciousness space before.

This should mean that something in another dimension is aware of his existence.

So it cannot be said that they are not sure whether the second dimensional infection was caused by humans. As long as Chen Ming is alive, even if the dimensional infection was not caused by humans, it will eventually fall on humans.

"But it is certain that they cannot determine where the two-dimensional infection occurred in our universe."

Otherwise, Chen Ming's danger perception ability should have known about this the moment the dimensional infection occurred.

"The president and I are discrete, independent points, not connected points."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have contact normally, but once you do, the situation changes."

"These two discrete points are no longer independent."

"Two people who have been exposed to the corrupted dimension, two discrete random coordinates."

"If we get closer, it's like confirming a line to the corrupt dimension."

"A line that can find the possibility of regularity in their relative positions that change randomly in dimension."

"They can look for traces of our existence and the location of the empire along this line in the universe."

"If a third point appears in the future, it means that something is 100% going to go wrong."

Chen Ming finished his guess in one breath, took a deep breath to calm down, and drank some water.

Although he had no knowledge or in-depth understanding of another dangerous dimension and dimensional infection three days ago.

But it was this sense of danger brought about by the meeting with the president that made him quickly consider a lot of things that he had never thought of before but were very reasonable.

So much so that the boss, besides thinking about what Chen Ming said, couldn't help but ask him: "How did you come up with these ideas?"

“…”

Chen Ming thought about it and said, "Maybe it's a feeling..."

"Feel it?"

The boss did not doubt Chen Ming's statement.

Because Chen Ming had talked to him about something before.

When Chen Ming faced the distorted heart and was forcibly dragged into the consciousness space by the distorted heart, he sensed the danger from the starry sky.

The boss took the initiative to help Chen Ming explain that it was the consciousness space that magnified his perception and greatly improved his ability to detect.

So at this moment, the boss immediately agreed with Chen Ming's guess.

After all, Chen Ming is a personal experiencer of dimensional infection and he also possesses very keen perception abilities, so it is very normal for him to notice something is wrong.

And at this moment, the boss's terminal suddenly vibrated.

He picked up the terminal and saw: "The president's call."

The boss picked up the phone and listened for a while, his expression gradually becoming more serious.

After a few simple responses, he said, "Yes, Xiao Ming has similar feelings. I'll send you the recording I just made."

"Um."

"Okay, we'll talk later."

The boss hung up the phone and explained to Chen Ming, "I have the habit of recording my daily life, which helps me a lot in doing things."

"Although sometimes evidence is left behind, the benefits generally outweigh the disadvantages."

Chen Ming nodded. He had no objection to his boss recording the conversation.

Because he himself has actually been recording it.

So Chen Ming also skipped this topic and asked about the phone call just now: "What did the president just say?"

"The president said he just felt something was wrong and wanted to talk to you in more detail about the dimensional infection. He needs to prepare and will call you again soon."

"What did you feel specifically?"

"He just said that he felt something was wrong and it would be best for him to wait until he figured it out before meeting with you. Then I sent him the recording of you and I just had."

"Is that so?"

Chen Ming had a feeling that the president seemed to have just noticed something wrong.

No one was able to perceive that extremely dangerous feeling as subtly as he did.

Is it possible that a psychic like the president is not as good as him in sensing danger?

Chen Ming was a little surprised, but this certainly wouldn't be a bad thing.

"When will the president call next time?"

“Not sure yet.”

As soon as the boss finished speaking, his terminal vibrated again.

"etc."

The boss glanced at the terminal and said, "It seems to be now."

He answered the phone and said, "President."

Chen Ming saw the boss nod slightly, then took off the earphones in his ears, turned on the hands-free function, and placed the terminal on Chen Ming's bed.

The president's voice then rang out from the terminal: "Chen Ming, it's best if we don't meet for the time being."

"Based on what you just said, I checked my previous research records with someone and found some major problems."

"First of all, I can say that your guesses are basically correct, except for the number of people who have experienced dimensional infection."

"Because the relative positions between dimensions change over time, the coordinates required to truly confirm the location of our empire are not three, but four. The others are no problem."

The president corrected Chen Ming's mistake and then basically repeated his own statement to Chen Ming.

But it is more detailed and specific, and there is research data from many presidents to prove it.

At the same time, he told Chen Ming his feelings and the more detailed information he knew about this space.

Basically, they are the president’s research on another space and the specific results of the research.

However, Chen Ming’s knowledge was not in this area, and he could not quite understand these terms and data related to the advanced space.

But he understood what the president meant.

It would be best if he and the president never met each other in this life.

Chen Ming had no objection to this. He didn't want to wake up one day and find that the entire empire had turned into twisted and deformed flesh and blood.

"In addition, I will report this matter to the Imperial Government so that if there are any more people who have been exposed to the dimensional infection in the future, they can be found as soon as possible."

After the president finished speaking, he specifically reminded Chen Ming: "We must remember to keep a physical distance between us and not give those things a chance to find us."

Chen Ming also knew the seriousness of the matter and said solemnly: "I will pay attention."

"Well, I'm actually quite relieved about you. Wu An asked for a batch of sponsorship from the association before, saying that you will be out there in the future, and you and I will basically not run into each other much."

"I'm just reminding you that you really need to be on guard against the third and fourth people who might appear in the future."

"Luckily, we are probably the only two alive who have been exposed to the dimensional infection."

"Even if they come together by accident, it only provides a little possibility for something in another dimension. It will take a long time for it to find us."

Chen Ming suddenly asked curiously, "If we meet, will it be equivalent to a death countdown? After all, we have a clue, so those things will find us sooner or later."

"You can understand it this way. If three people get together, the countdown progress will increase rapidly."

"If it was four people, the impact would be absolutely devastating."

"We must pay attention to this."

Chen Ming was very clear about the harm that would happen if those things in another dimension were allowed to locate the existence of the empire.

There is a high probability that newborns in the empire will be deformed in the future, and genetic engineering and cloning technologies will also be blocked.

Without the birth of newborns, the empire would basically be doomed to extinction.

But as time goes by, because the empire must be maintained, the dormant people must be awakened, and there will be a day when everyone will die.

The only solution seems to be for the empire to move away from its original location.

Search for new areas in the universe that can accommodate the existence of the empire.

But even the afterglow of a small afterglow star field next to it cannot be relocated at will, and a huge empire spanning countless star fields is obviously even more impossible.

And even if the relocation is successful, the original territory of the empire will become the source of invasion from another dimension and a breeding ground for development.

As long as those things are not completely dealt with, the next territory of the empire will sooner or later encounter the same problems.

But this is too far-fetched. As long as we can deal with people who have experienced dimensional infection properly and prevent them from contacting each other, such trouble will not arise.

Chen Ming also suddenly realized the problem in the president's words and asked, "Is there anyone else who can study cloning technology to cause new dimensional infection?"

"Humans definitely don't dare to do it anymore. Yu Hui didn't know this before, but with this experience, they definitely won't dare to do it again next time. Will there be new dimensional infections?"

The president sounded a little surprised, as if he was surprised by Chen Ming's idea.

"It's true that Yuhui may not, but I think you think too highly of humans."

"You may not know how many cloning research institutes are closed down in the Empire every year."

"Is there anyone crazy enough to do something like this?"

"The empire's territory is so vast, and it has occupied so many planets. The population has long been in the billions. Among so many people, there must be some who are fearless and crazy."

Chen Ming heard two key words and subconsciously asked, "Zuo Jing?"

"They are only a part of it. You can ask Wu An for the specific content of this intelligence."

Chen Ming raised his head and glanced at his boss.

The boss nodded slightly and said, "I'll tell you later."

Chen Ming lowered his head again and looked at the terminal.

The president had almost finished explaining why he called this time, and said, "So that's it. The possibility of dimensional infection will never be zero as long as there are people."

"Let's stop here for today. I'll go rearrange my plans. If you have any questions, we can chat via video next time."

"I'll find you through Wu An in a couple of days. Goodbye."

The president hung up the phone a little anxiously.

The communication ended again.

There was no sound of anyone talking in the ward, only silence.

Chen Ming was thinking about the troubles he might face as a person who had experienced dimensional infection.

The boss seemed to be recalling the past.

However, he did not experience that period personally, so he quickly returned from his memories to the present.

He said to Chen Ming: "Xiao Ming, since you only need to communicate with the president by phone in the future, there is no need to be restricted to the Pirate Space Station. What are your plans?"

Chen Ming immediately changed what he was thinking and replied, "I still have some things to deal with at the space station. Let's contact the president before leaving."

"Okay."

The boss nodded and said, "Then let me tell you what the president just said."

"good."

It just so happened that Chen Ming was also interested in things in the empire that he didn't usually get to know, so he immediately agreed.

"First of all, there are indeed people conducting cloning experiments now."

"But these are all small forces with some assets doing this. After all, the big forces know the consequences of doing this."

"And the leader of those small forces is Zuo Jing."

Chen Ming interrupted, "But I heard that Zuo Jing has a powerful force behind him."

"Yes, they support the enemy to protect themselves, but those who support them know the limits. They would never do such cloning experiments. It was done by a madman in Zuo Jing's own group."

"Who would be so healthy as to want to perish with the entire empire when he has money and plenty of time to enjoy his life?"

"No normal person would have any reason to do such a thing, but the lunatics in Zuojing are different, you know."

Chen Ming fully agreed with this.

The boss continued, "Fortunately, the Empire has comprehensive supervision over the direction of all materials needed for cloning experiments, so any problems can be detected immediately."

"So at least until now, the people from Zuojing haven't caused any consequences."

"But recently there have been reports that they seem to be trying to link the fictional god in their doctrine to something from another dimension."

"The country is currently increasing its control efforts. Because of the dimensional infection incident you encountered in Yuhui, the control will definitely be stricter. You don't need to worry too much."

"It's a pity that we can't kill all of these people in Zuo Jing. We never know where there are people who believe in this and are preaching. Who knows, they might show up again one day."

Chen Ming heard this and asked a question: "Is it possible that they will target me? After all, I have a grudge against them, and there is also this incident. If they want to bring up their beliefs, wouldn't it be appropriate for them to target me?"

The boss thought about Chen Ming's statement and said, "It is indeed in line with their doctrine to kill a psychic like you who can completely blaspheme the doctrine of the Left Path with the existence of the dimension they want to believe in."

"If they really do this, I'm afraid their influence will be completely uncontrollable within the country, and may even appear directly on the surface."

The boss suddenly changed the subject and said, "But the second dimensional infection happened in Yu Hui's territory, and only a few people know about this news now."

"By the time the news gets out, you should have already left. Who can find you?"

The boss reached out and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to worry too much."

"Okay, take a rest first. Recover before doing anything else. If you need anything, you can come to me. You know where I am."

"good."

The boss stayed at the highest point for a while and then left.

Chen Ming was left alone in the ward.

It just so happened that he also needed to take some time to count how many things he had to do now.

But just as Chen Ming lay down, the factory manager suddenly contacted him: "Xiao Ming, I heard you're back?"

Chen Ming sat up again and said to the terminal in his hand: "Yes, I'm at the dock now."

"Is it on Yuhui's ship? Or the one that Lao Wu brought back?"

"The boss's boat, but it's mine now."

"Congratulations! It's only been a few months and you've gone from a mining ship to a cruiser."

"Just luck."

“Nonsense.”

The factory director has been in contact with Chen Ming for such a long time, so of course he knows that Chen Ming’s ability to obtain the cruiser was not due to luck, but to his ability.

But Chen Ming still looked very serious and said, "Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth?"

"Okay, let's stop talking. I have something important to talk to you about. If you are free later, come over to my place. I have something for you."

"What?"

"It's a little complicated. You'll understand when you come."

"That's fine."

Since the factory director said so, Chen Ming simply decided not to lie down.

He used the medical equipment next to him to remove the needle from the back of his hand and changed out of his hospital gown.

Prepare to disembark.

Before going down, Chen Ming habitually put on a protective suit.

But after thinking about it, he simply converted the protective suit into a civilian model of power armor for carrying work.

In case someone knew his past habits and recognized him through the protective suit.

Then he went directly into the space station through the exclusive passage of the cruiser-class dock and went to the space station administration building.

This time, Chen Ming went there not only to meet with the factory director and confirm what the director wanted to see him about.

By the way, he also had to help the factory director complete something he had promised before leaving the space station.

Check out the location in advance so it will be easier to get started later.

While on the road, Chen Ming also contacted Huihuang and asked, "How have you been these past two days?"

And the brilliant answer is always so quick: "I'm fine, because of you I can directly connect to the human network, there is a lot of knowledge that I am very interested in learning."

"As long as there is enough energy supply, I can stay here for a long time."

"Um."

Chen Ming was not surprised by this situation. He could only say that all afterglow was basically like this.

When I have work, I work; when I don’t have work, I look for opportunities to study. I can say that every day is a very fulfilling life.

Chen Ming then asked, "Then how did you realize that something was wrong with me?"

"Because the effect of your psychic power on me has weakened, I thought you might have encountered some problems, so I contacted the boss through the emergency contact you left with me."

Chen Ming frowned slightly. If his spiritual power would weaken his control over the afterglow due to the exhaustion of his mental strength, then he must be prepared in advance.

“Is it significantly weakened?”

"Yes, it is obvious that the blessing your psychic power gave me on the superior logic block has almost disappeared before."

"?"

"Wait, what blessing? What happened to your advantage logic block?"

Now it was Huihuang's turn to be confused. It said, "Your psychic power can enhance my ability in the superior logic block, increasing my computing power by about 20%. Isn't this your psychic power?"

"?"
