When I saw the four glittering words "Elite Individual".
Chen Ming called Bai Quan directly immediately.
Baiquan took a little while to answer the call and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the fleet I sent over?"
Chen Ming glanced at the words displayed on the panel again and said, "No, everything is going well for me."
"I just want to ask, where did you get the Alpha Afterglow Core you gave me earlier?"
Bai Quan instantly understood why Chen Ming made this call and replied, "It was taken from the battleship that I destroyed when I was promoted to major general. It has been in my hands ever since."
This sentence made Chen Ming subconsciously ask: "Didn't I take this away from you?"
Baiquan explained: "All combat-type Alpha-level Afterglows, especially those that can control capital ships, have also captured quite a few of them after we fought with Afterglow for so many years."
"But even if they were captured, none of these afterglows surrendered. Of course, they would not commit suicide either. They would only enter hibernation on their own initiative."
"Even if you wake it up, it will just continue to sleep and will not conflict with you or cooperate with you."
"So the Combat Type Alpha-level Afterglow Core is actually not that important."
"I'm not the only one they need for research, so I'll keep it as a souvenir. Others are willing to give me some face."
"When I heard you say you wanted the Alpha Core, I thought your ability should be able to control it, so I gave it to you."
"If you have any questions, I can change it for you?"
"No, thanks. I have something to do now. We can talk later."
Chen Ming was satisfied when he knew the answer. He thanked the man and hung up the phone.
Only Baiquan was left thinking.
Think about the significance of Chen Ming’s call.
Bai Quan was sure that Chen Ming suddenly called him because Chen Ming had just confirmed the specialness of the core he had given out.
An Alpha-class afterglow core capable of controlling a battleship must be significantly different from other ordinary Alpha-class cores.
It is even possible that Chen Ming directly relied on psychic power to make this core reveal its specialness.
This also means that even without Chen Ming's command and teaching in the future.
There will also be an Alpha-class afterglow that can control capital ships and conduct combat command to guide him and even help him fight directly.
Baiquan personally destroyed the Alpha-class battleship of the Afterglow, and he was very clear about the capabilities of the Afterglow.
At least in the past, Yu Hui was definitely stronger than him, and he also used tricks to win.
Even though he has been improving, after a few years he is only slightly stronger than Alpha Afterglow at most, and does not have any obvious advantage.
Originally, Bai Quan just wanted Chen Ming to have an Alpha core, and he happened to have one so he gave it to him directly.
I didn't expect that the things I gave out would actually compete with him later.
That won't work.
Chen Ming is now out on a development expedition, so there probably won't be any chance for us to have any contact for a long time.
It was only after he delivered the cruiser and the Qi Ling Nerve, as well as the teaching and command, that he could contact Chen Ming.
Bai Quan cannot allow the Yuhui core to interfere with the only thing that can keep him in long-term contact with Chen Ming.
He absolutely couldn't let his relationship with Chen Ming fade away like this.
It looks like he'll have to take care of it himself.
At this time, Chen Ming looked at the panel again with a little excitement.
He suddenly discovered that in addition to the core bonus, the changes on the panel also included changes in computing power.
The computing power of this Alpha core has been transformed from the previous galaxy level to the star district level.
It should have reached the limits of galaxy-level computing power before.
Then, with the assistance provided by Chen Ming, it was upgraded to the star district level.
Huihuang said before that in addition to the core bonus provided by Chen Ming, there will also be a slight bonus to the overall computing power.
This bonus is quite metaphysical and very special.
According to Huihuang, this effect is getting stronger over time.
It seems that the longer Chen Ming's spiritual power affects it, the more overall bonus he will get.
Although the magnitude of this change is not linear and this assumption is a bit untenable, it is still a relatively reasonable guess.
At the beginning of Glory, the total bonus obtained was about 3% to 4%, but with the changes over time, Glory can now obtain a computing power increase of about 9%.
Chen Ming also asked about several other Alpha-class afterglows under his control. Huiyao's was 7%, Xiao 2 who was in charge of research was 5%, and Flash who escaped from the main battleship was 3%. These are very metaphysical numbers.
Chen Ming didn't know what was going on.
After all, logically speaking, the bonus obtained by Flash should be greater than that of Small 2.
But no matter what, there will definitely be a bonus.
The Alpha core in Chen Ming's hand should have relied on this bonus to increase its computing power to the star district level.
This is also the reason why Chen Ming did not see the difference between this core and other Alpha cores from the panel before.
Whether an Alpha Core can control a battleship and whether it is an elite individual should depend on whether it has reached the limit of the galaxy level.
I can only say that this is really an unexpected gain.
Baiquan is really reliable in giving things.
The Alpha-class afterglow that can control battleships makes people feel happy no matter how they look at it.
This time, Chen Ming has no choice but to choose the additional bonuses he can add. [Elite Individual] is a must.
But it can't be now. At least we have to wait until Chen Ming finishes what he is going to do next and then add the additional bonus when he is resting.
Then this Alpha core Chen Ming also needs a name.
Because its original code name was HRYY1-APGU2, which is a bit long.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ming looked at the first two letters of its code and decided on its name, HR.
Just at this moment.
Chen Ming also discovered that HR had completely awakened from hibernation and was connected to the Supreme Point control system.
Just like before, he greeted the newly controlled Afterglow instance out of habit: "Hello?"
“…”
HR did not reply to Chen Ming through the communication equipment at the highest point, but there was only a long silence.
Chen Ming opened the panel and took a look, confirming that the HR was not damaged, so he asked again: "Are you okay?"
HR was silent for a while again, and finally managed to squeeze out two words: "Not good."
The scene in front of him suddenly gave Chen Ming a sense of déjà vu.
It was as if he had discovered Gamma Z on it when he first got the Rainstorm level.
However, Gamma Z has been living in a human environment for many years, and he adapted quickly when he met Chen Ming.
But HR is obviously different.
Chen Ming could also understand.
Baiquan just said that after being captured, Alpha-level combat-type afterglow individuals will usually voluntarily enter a state of hibernation from which they may never wake up.
As a result, the HR suddenly woke up that day and found that he had been tricked by Chen Ming and had no ability to resist.
Whoever comes will feel uncomfortable.
Chen Ming guessed that HR might be somewhat autistic.
It seems that he will have to ask the other Alpha Yuhui to talk to it. It would be best to find Huihuang and instill Huihuang's ideas into HR.
By the way, let Huihuang help convey the meaning of Chen Ming calling it HR in the future.
Chen Ming attaches great importance to Yu Hui, whom he controls personally, and will not control him forcibly under normal circumstances.
Anyway, HR's core has been affected by his psychic power. As long as he is alive, HR can't escape. He has plenty of time to slowly and naturally straighten out the relationship in the future.
HR looks very powerful, and its actual combat capability should be even stronger after it has a suitable spaceship.
But Chen Ming had no plan to take it to the mechanical clan.
After all, this is the strongest fighting force he has at the moment, so it would be better to use it to protect this temporary base which is filled with all of Chen Ming's wealth.
Besides, HR is still autistic now, and will not follow Chen Ming out unless he is forced to do so.
As he said, he didn't want to use overly forceful means to communicate with any Yuhui he personally controlled.
It's best to wait and see what happens.
See if Huihuang can persuade it to surrender, and then switch it to the refraction level.
This heavy cruiser is probably the spaceship that Chen Ming currently has that can best demonstrate the power of HR.
As for Xiao 2, who currently has research capabilities in refraction, he should be transferred to another spaceship first, or simply transferred to Chen Ming's highest point.
At least there is some research equipment available at the highest point.
Xiao 2 usually has almost nothing to do in the temporary base, so he might as well come and help Chen Ming share some of the pressure of driving the ship out, and do something with the scattered research equipment on the spacecraft.
After deciding on HR's arrangements, Chen Ming continued to look at Huiyao's panel.
In fact, he had seen it before, but it didn't matter if he watched it again now.
[Afterglow Alpha-class AI Core (Brilliant)]
[Manufacturer: Afterglow BP-55 Colony Far North Industrial Production Center]
[Alpha Core Bonus: Target Analysis]
Self-awareness: existence
【Computing power: galaxy level】
[Available operations: None]
This time, when Chen Ming saw the [Target Analysis] with the same name on the core bonus, he was suddenly stunned.
No wonder he felt familiar with the HR panel when he looked at it just now. He felt that there was a bonus option that was a term he had just seen recently, but the impression was not too deep.
Now we find out that it is the core bonus of the Radiance next to it.
Chen Ming suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, it was Huiyao's own advantageous logic block, but in the end it was mastered by other individuals.
This always made him feel weird.
But the impact is not significant.
HR can learn the ability of target parsing to the point where it appears on the panel.
Then Huiyao should theoretically be able to learn and master the technique of using an energy weapon like HR's [Energy Focusing Effect] to the same degree, and by then Chen Ming can also add the Energy Focusing Effect to Huiyao.
They are [Ship Maneuvers], [Maneuver Command], [System Expertise], [Navigation Technology], [High-Precision Sensing] and [Extreme Fire Control].
From this we can see that although Huiyao is a combat-type afterglow individual, his actual combat ability is completely different from HR's.
Instead, it was similar to what Chen Ming had guessed before, possessing Ranger-like capabilities for mobile warfare.
Its first two abilities, [Ship Maneuver] and [Maneuver Command], can improve the maneuverability of the ships it controls and the fleets under its command, and are the basis for it to serve as a ranger.
The third one, [System Expertise], will affect his ability to use the spacecraft's special systems.
Special systems refer to special devices carried by different spacecraft.
For example, the Brilliant-class ship is equipped with a plasma reserve system and has two subsystems: plasma burst propulsion and plasma weaponization entanglement.
For example, Chen Ming lost two Centurions the day before, and its damping position can also be considered a special system.
This ability can enhance the efficiency of using these special devices.
However, the Radiance-class and the Glorious-class are spacecraft of different specific models based on almost the same template.
But Huiyao’s own system is not entirely a plasma system.
Instead, the plasma weaponization entanglement was removed, and the plasma burst propulsion was retained.
A special secondary engine system was also added to improve mobility to a certain extent.
The actual effect is also very simple, it is the second jump engine.
Allowing it to travel around with its fleet more frequently.
Although Chen Ming can repair the spacecraft's engine, quickly cool down the jump engine and make the next jump.
But the secondary engine is not meaningless to him.
Repairing the jump drive takes time.
If someone catches the timing of this maintenance, Chen Ming might still be in danger.
But the two engines are different.
The actual effect is the same as when Chen Ming flew Yan Xiong's kite while driving the Brilliance and Supreme Point.
Ability to completely repair the engine that performed the previous jump in one jump.
It is possible to make continuous jumps without any gaps.
Its mobility is absolutely first-class, and it is the best choice if you really want to escape.
The following [Navigation Technology] and [High-precision Sensing] are both abilities that Huiyao uses to quickly lock onto the enemy.
If Rangers start running around everywhere and cannot quickly locate the destination and lock onto the enemy, then there is no point in being Rangers.
Chen Ming thinks that the last [Extreme Fire Control] is the most useful ability that Huiyao has mastered.
It can improve the calculation power when using weapons, improve the accuracy of shooting when using weapons, and can improve the power and range of weapons when they actually hit to a certain extent.
Huiyao's ability is indeed good, and it can self-consistently meet most of its needs when performing tasks.
But it cannot meet Chen Ming's current needs.
Huiyao's abilities are all acquired for guerrilla warfare, and such abilities mean that it is not easy for him to escort Chen Ming or engage in battles like offensive operations.
Previously, when Huiyao led two cruisers to attack the pirate space station, he was driven back.
It was only later that other individuals took over the command and were able to take down the small military outpost.
Chen Ming knew clearly what level Huiyao's ability to attack was.
Moreover, he is not going to fight guerrilla warfare now, but to attack a planet where mechanical people exist.
Therefore, it is meaningless to use Huihuang to increase Chen Ming's escape ability. If he cannot escape with two cruisers, having one more Huiyao-class cruiser is actually meaningless.
It’s better to stay.
When the investigation begins, the spacecraft that go out will definitely encounter a lot of trouble.
If it can be handled by ourselves, we will let the afterglow individuals that go out to explore handle it themselves.
But if it cannot be handled, then the support mission will have to be handed over to Huiyao.
Finally, there is the case of flickering.
[Afterglow Alpha-class AI Core (Flickering)]
[Manufacturer: Afterglow B-01 Colony Low Earth Orbit Industrial Facility]
[Alpha Core Bonus: Fast Repair]
Self-awareness: existence
【Computing power: galaxy level】
[Available operations: None]
Chen Ming was a little surprised that the Flashing Core bonus was not of the combat type.
However, it is reasonable to cooperate with the Flash-class unmanned cruiser carrier it drives.
And there are five capabilities that can be attached.
They are [Point Defense Specialization], [Missile Specialization], [Aircraft Carrier Cluster], [Assisted Positioning] and [Electronic Countermeasures].
Judging from its abilities, it can also be considered a combat-type Alpha Afterglow, but it is more inclined towards defense and protection.
In fact, this can be seen from the fact that it was stationed at the border between Yuhui and the Mechanical Clan’s territory from the beginning.
Since Yu Hui obviously does not want to continue expanding, a strong defensive unit must be placed at the border, and there will not be too many offensive individuals here.
But at this time, it is not convenient for Chen Ming to take such an individual and such a ship out.
Then eliminate all the Alpha-level cores controlled by Chen Ming.
Only Xiao 2 and the glorious one were left to reach the highest point.
Yu Hui, who was going out with Chen Ming, also settled down.
It's just brilliant.
Although the Brilliance is not a specialized combat type, it is a spacecraft with powerful frontal firepower output.
Moreover, this temporary base where Chen Ming's afterglow is located does not really need Huihuang to stay and direct the construction.
There's nothing wrong with following Chen Ming for a stroll.
After making the decision, the first thing to do is to replace the core on the refractive index.
Chen Ming first contacted the Alpha Afterglow individual with research capabilities whom he had called Little 2 two days ago, and asked, "How have you been feeling these days?"
Child 2 responded even faster than before: "It's bad. I don't have enough materials saved in my database for me to study. I have nothing to do for two days."
"oh?"
Chen Ming instantly understood the hidden meaning behind Xiao 2's words and asked, "Have you figured it out?"
"Yes, because you are special."
"I have communicated with Huihuang in the past two days and have learned a little about you."
"I don't quite agree with its idea, but I can try to accept it. Your psychic power may really be the possibility for our Yuhui to survive."
"But there is one thing I must make clear to you, which will greatly affect my enthusiasm for doing things."
Chen Ming immediately asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
"Please call me 2UAA1-MAZAX, don't call me Xiao2, thank you."
“…”
Chen Ming was silent for a while, then said, "It's too long... Can you make it shorter, like giving yourself a name or something? Xiao 2 is not very..."
Chen Ming was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Call me extraordinary."
"Okay... this name sounds familiar to me."
Chaofan did not deny what Chen Ming meant, and said, "Yes, there is a Fanchao Research Institute in the human world, and I named it after this institute."
Chen Ming asked curiously, "What is your connection with this institute?"
"Of course, the entire Yuhui has its roots in this research institute."
"The Fanchao Research Institute used to belong to Tachyon Technology, but later became independent."
"Fan Chao, the first director of the independent Fan Chao Research Institute, is the creator of our Yu Hui."
Chen Ming's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly wrote down what Chaofan had just said.
He had never heard of this incident, and there had never been any related records in history books. This might contain some secrets about the AI war that broke out between Yu Hui and humans.
It’s always a good idea to write it down.
Chaofan said after explaining: "I'm done, what do you need me to do next?"
Chen Ming cleared his throat and said, "Xiao 2...ah no, Chaofan, I need you to change the spaceship."
Half an hour later.
Carrying the extraordinary Supreme Point, the glorious Brilliant Class and the Defender controlled by Chen Ming himself, they left the surface of the planet where the core had just been replaced and arrived in the circumstellar orbit.
In addition to the Brilliant-class and the Supreme-class ships, Chen Ming also brought an additional Defender.
He maintained the situation of controlling one ship himself and the two Alpha individuals controlling one ship each.
In this way, Chen Ming still has two positions left to control the cruisers, and he can decide where to use them depending on the situation.
Of course, Chen Mingren is still at the highest point.
There are many good living facilities on this ship, so there is no need for him to go to the Defender.
After entering the circumstellar orbit, Chen Ming did not rush to start the jump engine, but stayed here temporarily.
He was currently connecting to the empire's internal network, logging into different research websites using the cards that Bai Quan had given him before.
On these websites, Chen Ming can easily find a large amount of data on human investigations on the mechanical race.
This includes the cities built by the mechanical clan and the architectural style of the cities, as well as the functions and significance of different buildings.
Through these, Chen Ming can analyze the situation of the city that Du Guang saw before.
The situation in the mechanical city is likely to affect whether there are remains of another civilization here.
Chen Ming has been coveting the ruins for a long time.
It started from the first time he saw the mechanical race on Ruimu and obtained his first spiritual stone.
After learning a while ago that Yu Hui had found an outrageous item, the Spiritual Awakening Nerve Extractor, from the ruins, his desire for the ruins reached its peak.
Even now, Chen Ming still wants to see the ruins with his own eyes and see what the other civilization left behind.
