The news that the factory director pushed to Chen Ming was the progress made by Xinda Company in its research on antimatter technology.

So Chen Ming immediately thought of the finished miniature antimatter reactor he had seen before in the special operations team of the 14th Legion.

Sure enough, just as he had thought before, the source was Xinda Company.

However, what he didn't expect was that the company actually came up with results in such a short time.

Chen Ming remembered that from the time he got the antimatter technology to the time he gave it to the company, and then to today, only less than two months had passed, right?

This newspaper is only from a week ago.

Considering that the 14th Legion obtained the antimatter reactor in advance, the results will be released even earlier.

If it was really developed based on the antimatter shock wave given by Chen Ming, then this scientific research technology is a bit exaggerated.

So Chen Ming felt that it was not the case. It was probably because Sinda Company had already been conducting research on antimatter.

Then, after obtaining the antimatter shock wave, a weapon that already has certain practical value, these antimatter technology researchers were inspired.

Then the results were produced in a seemingly short time.

The news content in several other academic newspapers and periodicals is basically the same, all about the research on antimatter.

It seems that Xinda Company did not hide its technology, but made it public.

It could be that other companies gave them some benefits, or it could be that the government or some other department asked Xinda Company to do so.

In short, it is impossible that Xinda Company took the initiative to give the things away.

Chen Ming put down a few newspapers, pointed his fingers at two cards, and looked at the factory director.

The factory manager knew Chen Ming's doubts and explained, "One of these two cards is a savings card, and the other is a storage card."

"There should be 3 billion in the savings card. It seems to contain the results of antimatter research and the design blueprint of a micro reactor."

"In addition, the semi-finished antimatter blaster you brought back earlier has been modified and can be put into combat."

"These are all the results of research using your thing."

The factory director then looked at the newspapers that Chen Ming had put down and said, "Then the company also published several antimatter papers that were said to be relatively important and added your name to them."

"Take a closer look at these newspapers. There are references listed at the bottom. Your name should be on it."

Chen Ming just glanced at the title and brief content of the news without reading the fine print carefully.

When he picked it up for the second time, he found that his name was really on it.

In the middle of all the researchers' names, neither at the beginning nor at the end.

Chen Ming also remembered that these newspapers and periodicals were relatively valuable in the academic world, and the research contents published in them were naturally very important.

Therefore, if the researcher's name can be written on it, it is indeed something worth promoting.

It’s just that Chen Ming’s recent social circle is not in the academic circle.

So I am not aware of the fact that his name appeared in these newspapers.

And he was not quite sure, was this the company's compensation for his previous antimatter shock wave? Or was it some kind of reward? But why did he come at this time? And the company had already taken the initiative to give up its relationship with him, why did they do this? Chen Ming did not understand, so he asked: "What does the company want to do by taking such a strong attitude?"

The factory manager shrugged and said, "You can guess that the company wants to get back on good terms with you."

Chen Ming sneered and said in a mocking tone: "What was the reason given by the company before? Are you not afraid of the war zone?"

The factory manager didn't care about Chen Ming's attitude at all. He knew that Chen Ming was targeting the company, not him.

But he still had to explain: "Because the Fourteenth Legion is not afraid."

"Baiquan had previously shot and killed the second generation sent from the war zone in front of all the soldiers in the legion."

"And until now, nothing has happened. We can even go on missions with two battleships, and the people in the war zone dare not say a word."

"The company went to check the situation. After all, they were all descendants of the high-ranking officials in the war zone. It's obviously unreasonable that they were killed by Bai Quan, who came from the bottom, and Bai Quan didn't do anything wrong."

"Then the company found out that Baiquan had something special in his hands, so the company decided to stick with the Fourteenth Legion in this star region during this period of time."

The factory director's words successfully aroused Chen Ming's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask: "So what is it?"

“You can understand it as privilege.”

Chen Ming was a little unresponsive for a moment, and asked again: "What is it?"

The factory director stopped being a riddler this time and explained, "Baiquan has a gun in his hand. It was given to him by a big shot who happened to be on an inspection tour during his promotion ceremony to major general."

"To commend him for his great achievements that enabled him, an ordinary person with no background who rose all the way on his own, to be promoted to major general."

“Guess who it is.”

"Isn't that the one at the top?"

The factory manager did not answer Chen Ming's question, but continued: "Along with this gun, there were also six bullets given to him."

“That’s the privilege.”

Chen Ming suddenly understood and said, "As long as it is within the imperial law, he can rely on this gun and those six bullets to handle everything, right?"

The factory director nodded and said, "The man who took over Baiquan's job after Baiquan was injured made a serious mistake when commanding the battle, which was not a small mistake. It was a serious problem that really needed to be brought to a military court."

"If we give him some time, the people behind him will definitely help him make it happen. Although he may be demoted, he will definitely not die."

"Then Baiquan just used his privilege to kill him."

"It's just that I'm not sure why Baiquan did this. After all, the long-term detention and killing of that person also caused trouble in the war zone, causing chaos within the 14th Corps for several days."

“Although the people in the war zone dare not touch Baiquan, they still dare to affect the Fourteenth Legion.”

"So far, the company doesn't quite understand this matter. If he lets the person go directly, then the war zone will definitely not interfere with his normal work in the 14th Legion."

"Besides, that person is really not worth his bullet."

The factory manager and the company were not sure why Baiquan did this.

But Chen Ming knew very well.

Because this is what Baiquan said before, and he wanted to give him an explanation.

Let those who did those things give an explanation to Chen Ming.

He wanted to exchange this for the opportunity to continue cooperating with Chen Ming.

Chen Ming had previously thought that the major general was so awesome.

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no law that stipulates that a major general can kill people in public. Otherwise, what is the purpose of the military court?

Therefore, it was because Baiquan chose to use his privilege to kill that person that he was able to continue to sit safely in the top position of the Fourteenth Legion here.

Otherwise, he would have been dragged down by the furious war zone leaders.

Since Bai Quan is willing to use such things to gain Chen Ming's trust, he is indeed someone worthy of Chen Ming's trust.

At least after the previous collaboration, Chen Ming felt that his relationship with Bai Quan could be closer.

The factory manager didn't see anything from Chen Ming's face, and continued, "Anyway, that was his first shot. He still has five chances left."

"So the company decided to curry favor with them. With the previous cooperative relationship, it is definitely better for the company to cooperate with the 14th Legion than with the previous star zone army."

"The sector's military has become extremely corrupt."

"Oh, by the way, Baiquan and you should have a special relationship, right?"

Chen Ming was suddenly stunned and asked: "Why do you say that?"

"Because the company just sent someone to the 14th Legion two days ago to discuss other cooperation with Sky Steel after its redevelopment."

"Then our people happened to see an Afterglow Cruiser returning with the Fourteenth Legion's fleet."

"We were not coerced, nor were we forcibly controlled. We were just following the Fourteenth Legion's fleet normally, keeping a certain distance."

"You are the only one who can do this."

"So, the relationship between the company and you must be reestablished. Please think carefully about it."

Chen Ming thought that Bai Quan's reason for doing things had been guessed, but he didn't expect it was because of this.

"In that case, did the company have this idea after knowing that I had a good relationship with Baiquan, or did they have the intention to get back on good terms with me before?"

The factory manager said without even thinking, "Then we were already prepared to get back on good terms with you. I have the most contact with you, so the company told me about this matter before and asked me to handle it."

"You know my situation. I have no choice but to escape."

"But you also know that I can't use our relationship to do such a thing. Whether your relationship with the company is good or not does not affect our relationship."

"As for the company, they want to renew their relationship with you mainly because the environment is changing. Baiquan has the privilege and ability to fight against the war zone, and he has been doing things himself."

"Although the 14th Legion was in chaos for two days, Baiquan suppressed it with strong measures."

"Then he is preparing the fleet and wants to do something. These are all obvious."

“Companies are definitely willing to invest in people like this.”

"Well, since Baiquan and the War Zone have conflicts, and you have a grudge against the War Zone, it is only natural to reconnect with you."

Chen Ming thought about it carefully and concluded: "So it's still because of Baiquan?"

The factory manager thought about it and did not deny it: "You can say that."

"Another reason is that the Fourteenth Legion did not rescue you before, so you will most likely not join the Fourteenth Legion in the future, so the company has another idea."

"Anyway, it's your decision. Don't worry about me. I'm just helping to deliver the things and pass on the message."

Chen Ming refused without thinking too much: "Forget it."

He just wanted to maintain a normal relationship with the factory director, Lao Wu, and others.

That's the situation at the company. After all, there is a factory director, and he is the descendant of the company's chairman, and may be an illegitimate child.

So it cannot be said that Chen Ming is completely hostile to the company, but it is impossible to restore the previous relationship.

Moreover, Xinda Company is a powerful force and profit is its top priority.

The company can swallow its pride and come to him to make peace for the sake of profit.

But Chen Ming is just one person now, and he can do things according to his own preferences.

So he chose to refuse.

The factory manager was not surprised by this result. Instead, he continued to push the two cards on the desk and said, "Then we still have to give you these things. They can be regarded as compensation from the company so that you don't mind what happened before."

"Just as the beginning, I mean the relationship that was more than thirty years ago, almost forty years ago."

Chen Ming thought about the time the factory manager was referring to and said, "That was when I first joined the company, right? You mean starting from the beginning?"

"Now that you've said that, we'll help you get your file transferred out of the company. Do you want to transfer it to our Galo-2 star district government's talent pool, or directly transfer it to Lao Wu?"

"Lao Wu has a colony in this star region. Official certification can be transferred there. I asked Lao Wu about it, and he has no objection."

Chen Ming suddenly interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, can I be transferred? I remember that the military of the star region issued a wanted order for me before, right?"

"When I looked at it before, although it said that the army was taken over by the Fourteenth Legion, the wanted notice seemed to have never been removed?"

The factory manager waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. It's been a long time. The Fourteenth Army has already issued a wanted notice for you."

"You are still in the same situation as before, that is, a company employee. So the company is afraid that you will find it troublesome, so they proactively offered to help you get rid of this identity."

Chen Ming couldn't help but say when he heard this: "Why haven't I seen them helping me so actively before?"

"As for the company, I'm not surprised at what it does. We'll go wherever there's benefit."

"The company got Sky Steel before, which offended the War Zone. Now that the company can't get anything from you, they definitely won't play with you anymore."

"It's different now. You're alive and well, and you have the Fourteenth Legion to support you."

"And your psychic powers have begun to show their actual effects, especially with the Afterglow Cruiser. The board of directors has held several meetings just for this ship in the past two days."

"The chairman wanted to support you before, but was rejected by the board of directors."

"In recent meetings, the chairman has basically been scolding everyone else unilaterally, and also discussing how to restore our relationship with you."

Chen Ming shook his head when he heard this. Although the company had indeed done its best, he still had no intention of restoring good relations with the company.

Purely profit-based relationships will never last long.

When his value is once again no more than that of others, the company might cause trouble again.

Although his abilities give him confidence that nothing can compare to his value.

But Chen Ming didn't want to make any effort to maintain this kind of relationship, so he just let it go.

Chen Ming did not respond to the factory director's words.

The factory manager also understood what Chen Ming meant and continued to wait for Chen Ming's response to his previous question.

Chen Ming took out the terminal and looked at his identity record.

There were some changes between the above and when he saw it before.

Previously, the resume ended at the mining space station, where it remained for thirty years.

Only recently were a few new paragraphs added.

The general meaning is that Chen Ming was in cryogenic hibernation for thirty years, and then was picked up by the company and joined a research institute within the company, where he completed important research on antimatter technology.

The bad things Chen Ming actually experienced during this period were omitted from his resume.

If Chen Ming chooses to move the file, then two more lines should be added to the file.

Terminate the contract with the company and then join other organizations.

Chen Ming glanced at it and closed the resume, then asked the factory manager, "It doesn't matter whether this thing is adjusted or not, right?"

"It really has no impact, but that's what the company's bosses mean. They're here to clean up your mess, and you can start your relationship with the company from scratch."

After listening to the factory director's words, Chen Ming finally made a decision: "Then keep it for me first. I may need to enter and exit the space station in the future. It will be more convenient to have this identity."

"If possible, transfer my resume to the company in this space station."

Of course, there is actually another reason why Chen Ming did this besides the reason he mentioned.

The Pirate Space Station was Chen Ming’s first stop after returning to the human world, and it was also the place where he stayed the longest.

Leaving a resume here can also give him a thought that he will want to come back in the future.

The factory manager had no objection to this: "That's fine, you can decide for yourself, but the company will probably be very happy."

"Then you'd better not let them be too happy too soon, because I'm leaving soon."

The factory director spread his hands and said nothing. He just took out some documents from the drawer and handed them to Chen Ming.

"What is this?"

"See for yourself."

Chen Ming picked up the document and flipped through it, and found that the documents that required his signature were used to fill in some previously missing procedures.

In addition to confirming Chen Ming's resume and transferring his files, his contribution to antimatter research can also be confirmed.

Because the research related to antimatter technology involves government rewards for researchers who have made major scientific research results.

Now Chen Ming can be sure that this is the reason why Sinda Company made the antimatter technology public, so that the Fourteenth Legion also obtained the products of this technology early on.

It was the government that required Xinda to disclose the information and gave the company adequate rewards and compensation.

Basically it's about honor, status and, most importantly, money.

Of course, for research institutes and companies, there are also things like investments from the government.

As someone who also signed his name in the antimatter research, Chen Ming will naturally be able to get one of the rewards.

But now Chen Ming just needs money.

As for honor, it is confirmed when his name is written on it.

As for status, this includes social status and actual status.

Social status is relatively unimportant.

After all, even if most ordinary people know that a person has a status, at most they only know that this person is a researcher who has researched something good, and it doesn’t matter what he researched specifically.

Although the research on antimatter reactors is of great significance, it can free the empire's energy supply from the constraints of spacecraft fuel.

However, it shouldn’t have such a big impact in the short term, so just listen to the social status and so on.

But the actual status is different.

First of all, the first application of antimatter reactors will definitely be military products.

Just like the miniature antimatter reactor that the 14th Legion had obtained before.

Starting with military products, antimatter technology will gradually be utilized.

Therefore, within the Empire's top leadership, there will definitely be a certain degree of attention paid to researchers and research institutes that have developed antimatter technology.

This will lead to a significant improvement in the actual status of these researchers.

Although they may not necessarily be recruited directly by the government, there is no problem in giving them some idle positions within the system.

But the problem is that Chen Ming did not develop within the empire after that.

So status and the like are not as real as having some money.

And even when the time comes that you need an actual status to do things.

Among the people he knew, there were also a few people of high enough status, a second-generation corporate executive, an Imperial Major General, and a top psychic.

He would have a place in the empire anyway, so he didn't need to worry.

No matter who these three people are, as long as Chen Ming takes the initiative to ask them to do something, they will definitely be willing to help.

So Chen Ming doesn't need any extra rewards, having money is enough.

And he really had a use for the money.

In addition, as long as Chen Ming signs a few more documents, the company will continue to give Chen Ming a sum of money in exchange for Chen Ming giving up some of his rights.

Chen Ming confirmed that there were no problems with the documents, and if there were any problems, he directly asked the factory manager to clarify them.

Sign all these documents.

After the factory director called someone to take all the documents away, the troublesome business was finally dealt with.

Chen Ming seemed to be more relaxed, leaning back in his chair and saying casually, "I just went to the director's office."

"oh?"

The factory manager reached out and pressed the desk in front of him.

The office door was locked and the surveillance in the room was turned off.

The factory manager was a little surprised and said, "I thought you forgot."

"That's impossible. I can't forget about you even if I forget to eat."

Chen Ming leaned on his desk and said, "I just met that fat pig director, and he left something in his office."

"You can do it anytime, but it's best to wait until I'm gone, which should be in the next few days."

The factory manager couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction on his face. The person who disgusted him finally wouldn't live for many more days.

He himself is not in a position to take action against people inside the organization, but Chen Ming is completely different.

"Thank you for your help."

"It doesn't matter if it's a hassle or not, I just..."

Chen Ming suddenly stopped talking halfway.

In the factory director's confusion, Chen Ming said: "I saw the director leave his office. There is no one in his office now."

"You want to..."

"Where's the terminal I gave you earlier?"

"this."

The factory manager took out a terminal from the drawer and handed it to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it, and metallic liquid flowed out from his palm, covering the terminal.

He modified the terminal slightly so that it could use safer and more secretive technology to remotely control the signal.

Afterwards, Chen Ming connected the signal of the gadget he left in the director's office to the terminal.

And remotely transformed this gadget into a micro robot.

The video footage transmitted back by the micro robot's camera was clearly displayed on the terminal.
