But there wasn't much work that required him to do.

This is a long-term job after all.

Huihuang will take care of the construction of the star port.

Huihuang and Huiyao will work together to arrange low-level afterglow individuals to conduct exploration.

HR and Flash will take care of the escort.

Only Chaofan has nothing to do every day and can occasionally chat with Chen Ming about research matters.

It’s just that Chaofan’s main research direction is spaceships, especially battleship-level spaceships.

With Chen Ming's current technical level, he can't compare with Chaofan in terms of research.

If it weren't for the fact that the research equipment at the highest point is all miscellaneous, the research equipment that Chaofan used before would be nothing more than garbage.

Chaofan might not chat with Chen Ming for several days.

Of course, Chaofan will still have a good chat with Chen Ming about serious matters.

For example, when Chen Ming took time to learn some spacecraft technology before resting every day, Chaofan could answer many of Chen Ming's questions very easily.

Chen Ming's learning efficiency has been greatly improved again.

But Chen Ming doesn’t have much time to learn about spacecraft now.

Because even if he dealt with the Zerg and the Mechanoids, he still had a lot to do.

In fact, Chen Ming's original plan was to study the technology that could actually be applied on spacecraft during the day, and learn cruiser-level technology before resting at night.

Make the most of your time every day.

However, the plan went awry after just a few days.

Because the biological spacecraft was quickly delivered to his face, he needed to learn additional biotechnology.

However, Chen Ming has no foundation at all in biotechnology.

He needs to take the time to understand and master the subjects required for this kind of biological spacecraft...which should be genetic engineering and biodynamics.

Perhaps you also need to learn various subjects such as biomaterials, neurology, and chemical biology.

But these should only be the basis for transforming biological spacecraft.

Because the professional names of these subjects are things that even Chen Ming, who only came into contact with similar knowledge in college, is familiar with.

The biological technologies that can actually be used on biological spacecraft are probably things he has never even heard of.

Chen Ming is quite confident about learning this.

Although biology is not a subject he already knows, his learning ability should be more than ten times higher than that of others.

He has a learning ability that is personally certified by Brilliance and exceeds the evaluation of the Beta-level Afterglow Core.

However, there was still one thing waiting for him to deal with.

He has stood up Baiquan for two days.

So during the day he still had to learn the command techniques of the 14th Legion.

This is also a difficult thing to learn, and he also has no foundation in it.

And according to Baiquan.

They have a special military academy where students are admitted directly from colleges and universities. People with a basic knowledge need to study for at least five years.

Chen Ming is not worried that five years is too long. It takes some time to learn a technology, and Chen Ming has to worry about whether the technology is watered down.

The key point is that Chen Ming was thinking that every day in the five years in the military academy would probably be filled with densely packed courses.

Even if he was efficient in learning, the workload of studying biology and spacecraft was already very tight, and he had to learn command technology as well.

There is absolutely no spare time.

He had to give up something.

so.

Chen Ming simply handed over the task of researching technical equipment that could be used by cruisers and lower-level spacecraft to Chaofan.

Originally, Chen Ming planned to do it himself, and improve his learning efficiency in disguise by studying these things during the learning process.

Now... we can only let Chaofan help deal with it.

He was only responsible for learning how to implement the final research results so that they could be actually transformed onto the spacecraft. As for the process, there was nothing he could do about it.

Although Chaofan was reluctant to conduct research on this kind of low-level spacecraft, it was currently limited by the fact that it had not yet purchased all the equipment and had nothing else to do.

Moreover, Chen Ming did not have the skills at the current level of knowledge for him to learn.

The only technology that was worth learning was the blueprint of the new star-level battleship that it had designed personally, which Chen Ming had taken away before.

Even if Chen Ming could help it log into some research websites within the Empire of God.

Many of the human technologies above are meaningless to it and can only be used for reference.

So Chaofan finally agreed, and Chen Ming would use his psychic powers to help with the testing.

At this point in time.

Chen Ming thought about it and simply took out his schedule for the future.

In order to prevent several things from happening at the same time and completely disrupting his rhythm.

However, he had just come up with this idea, and in the end it took him more than an hour to barely divide the day into several parts and allocate them to different work and study tasks.

But the final schedule was pretty terrible.

In a sense, he is now even busier than he was during his glory days except for his rest time.

But for Chen Ming, it is not unacceptable. What kind of hardship has he not experienced?

High-intensity study alone is nothing.

After arranging the schedule, Chen Ming took a look at the current time.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening Earth time.

Obviously there is nothing to do for the rest of the day.

So Chen Ming called Bai Quan and discussed the time for learning command techniques again.

Anyway, he has already dealt with the important matters of the Mechanical Tribe and the Zerg Tribe. What remains is the daily mechanical labor. There is nothing else that requires him to expend any energy to complete.

You can officially start learning conducting tomorrow.

But Chen Ming is not sleepy yet, so he will do so during the last minute of today.

He simply took stock of the situation at the temporary base in the past week.

Through the sensors of several cruisers left in the temporary base, Chen Ming could see that the starport had begun to take shape.

Under the brilliant regulation, a number of Afterglow individuals that reaches the limit of the star port's bearing capacity are working tirelessly to speed up the construction of the entire star port.

Although Yu Hui himself seems to have no idea what fatigue is.

In short, Huihuang will definitely be able to complete the finishing work of the star port within two days.

The total construction period took less than two weeks.

After all, the star port is the most important facility in Chen Ming’s temporary base, and it is a very simple star port with almost no supporting facilities such as maintenance and repair.

After all, Chen Ming's psychic power can do a lot of things. He only needs a place where the spacecraft can temporarily dock for a period of time and store and allocate supplies for the entire temporary base.

So under this circumstance, such a simple star port was built.

During the period of starport construction, many spaceships had already gone out to explore the completed part of the starport.

All galaxies with possible habitable planets within a radius of fifty light years have been explored.

There is still a considerable area that has not been explored.

It is still a bit far from the 400 light years around that Chen Ming originally wanted to explore.

However, since the construction of the star port is nearing completion, it should only take a few days for all the afterglow to be mobilized, allowing the star port to operate at full capacity and achieve maximum exploration efficiency.

It’s just that the galaxies within a radius of 50 light years that Chen Ming has explored so far are basically all galaxies that he had explored before.

Only further out, in an unexplored galaxy, was a habitable planet found.

The number is very small, and according to the reports of the afterglow individuals that have been investigated on that habitable planet within the galaxy, there is not much valuable information.

However, Chen Ming will drive to the highest point to check out the situation of the galaxy and the value of the planet.

This kind of habitable planet can be classified as at least level 4 based on the judgment of planet value that his boss had taught him.

As for the value of the galaxy where this habitable planet is located, a judgment can only be made after specific exploration.

According to the boss, planets can generally be divided into five levels.

A level 1 planet is a completely worthless planet, it is just a bare planet lying there.

Unless other valuable planets in the galaxy have been developed, there is nothing else to be developed in the galaxy, and there happens to be a need for some pure land on the planet, otherwise they will definitely not go up.

Level 2 planets have basic development value.

As long as a planet has enough money to make back its annual investment and at least 50% additional long-term profit, it can be considered a Level 2 planet.

The priority of development within the galaxy is relatively low. At least when there is only one level 2 planet in a galaxy, let alone this planet, the galaxy is not even worth entering.

As for level 3 planets, they must have at least more easy-to-mine mineral veins or other planetary resources than level 2 planets.

For example, various volatile substances from gaseous planets, or various soil resources, and there must be at least one high-level resource worth developing, such as high-level metal materials like Baiyun Steel.

If there are no advanced resources, the planet will be downgraded to a lower level unless the amount of resources on the planet is really to the point where they can be found everywhere and developed at will.

Level 4 planets are special.

Because all habitable planets will first be assigned to level 4, and then a decision will be made as to whether the level can be raised or lowered based on the specific conditions of the habitable planet.

For example, the planet Ruimu where Chen Ming once stayed, although it is a habitable planet, it has no valuable resources except for some scattered mechanical tribes on it, as it is almost a border planet.

In addition, its asteroid ring causes meteorites to fall on it frequently, so the habitability is not that high.

Therefore, as a habitable planet, it can only be a level 3 planet in actual classification.

Of course, there will be some uninhabitable planets at level 4.

However, the planet that can compete with the habitable planet for this level must be one that possesses fairly rich non-habitable planet resources.

There will certainly be a large amount of basic and advanced resources, and whether there are resources that can develop special materials to a certain extent, at least for a period of time, is also a point that needs to be judged.

Therefore, Level 4 planets that are not habitable are already very rare.

The judgment criteria for level 5 are relatively the most complicated.

The first basic judgment is to see whether it is an Earth-like planet, the amount of biological resources and species richness, and whether the species on the planet themselves have special value.

Or see if there is a source of special-grade materials on the planet that is not limited by the size of the planet, can be developed intensively, and can be developed sustainably.

Chen Ming had specifically discussed something with Bai Quan before.

That's why some star region capitals and some military patrol bases were located on dangerous volcanic planets? Bai Quan didn't hide it at the time, but told Chen Ming the reason directly and clearly.

Because the Empire obtained something from the ruins of another civilization that the Empire was not yet able to mass-produce.

Cryogenic computing engine.

This is a special device used by that civilization in the defense units of border galaxies.

It is a supercomputer that is specifically responsible for calculating combat events.

What makes it unique is that it absorbs heat while it is computing.

Chen Ming felt at the time that there was something wrong with the existence of this kind of thing. Things that violated the second law of thermodynamics should not exist in this universe.

But Bai Quan would not lie to him out of boredom, and Chen Ming thought about what his psychic power could do, and instantly felt that the existence of such a thing made a lot more sense.

If the Empire obtains a certain number of cryogenic computing engines from another civilization, it should indeed build the headquarters of patrols or military bases that can use them on volcanic planets.

After all, large patrol teams do need specialized equipment to support them.

It is used to plan how to patrol within the ever-changing galaxy, and to assist commanders in commanding when a battle breaks out.

After all, not everyone is a genius who can outline the battlefield situation in the entire galaxy in his mind.

Many ordinary military officers have to rely on computer assistance in command, so this kind of low-temperature computing engine has its value.

So since Baiquan has explained the situation so clearly, it would be best if Chen Ming’s future colony also had a volcanic planet with frequent geological activities.

Therefore, this kind of geographical... no, it should be a planet with a suitable astronomical location that can be used to install a cryogenic computing engine.

Even if there is almost nothing valuable to be developed on the planet except thermal energy, it can still be assigned to the special Level 5.

There are also many other special level 5 planets.

For example, the boss told Chen Ming about a gas giant planet that only had basic gaseous resources.

Due to the suspected existence of gaseous life on it, it jumped directly from level 2 to level 5.

And those suspected gaseous life forms have also been verified by a psychic in recent years, and they do exist.

There is also a huge land planet that is close in size to an ordinary gas planet. It has terrifying gravity and countless giant creatures, so it is also ranked in Level 5.

Moreover, the satellites of this planet are also assigned to level 5.

Because there is a giant flying creature on this planet with terrible pressure.

Although they do not have the ability to survive in space and cannot survive in a vacuum, their bodies will be thrown into space by their own kind through brute force after they die.

The corpses thrown into space orbit by their own kind gathered together very accurately, and over countless years of the planet's development, they have gathered into a special flesh-and-blood satellite.

On this satellite, the parasites and microorganisms from the corpses thrown into space have formed an extremely special and unique ecological environment.

It has extremely high research value, so it is also assigned to level 5.

In short, those at level 5 are either Earth-like planets, or planets with great development value, or the special planets that Chen Ming learned about from his boss.

In fact, Chen Ming had asked Bai Quan another question before.

Did the Empire obtain something special similar to the cryogenic computing engine from the ruins of another civilization?

Then Bai Quan directly gave Chen Ming a list.

Chen Ming took a casual look and saw a bunch of things that were obviously outrageous to a certain extent, even directly violating the laws of physics.

However, with the low-temperature computing engine in front of him, and this is a world where psychic power exists, Chen Ming can accept it.

Anyway, he remembered everything recorded clearly in his mind.

In the future, when he explores further, he will definitely have many opportunities to come into contact with the remains of other civilizations.

It is also possible that he will discover the legacy of another civilization that none of the empires on this list can now replicate.

In addition, galaxies also have their own unique system for judging value.

However, the scoring type should be considered, whether it is comprehensive, industrial, scientific research or settled, etc.

Each galaxy has different value when applied to different environments.

The judgment of this is more complicated, not as simple as that of a planet.

After all, the value of a galaxy depends not only on the galaxy itself, but also on factors such as the distance between the target galaxy and other galaxies. This has to be left to professionals.

However, one thing is certain: the final value of a galaxy will be determined by which environment has the highest value when the galaxy is applied to different environments.

For example, Chen Ming had previously stayed in the galaxy where Ramirez was located. There was only one habitable planet of some value, and the other planets were not very good.

Therefore, in terms of settlement value, it may only be classified as a level 3 or even level 2 galaxy.

However, because Ramu's asteroid ring has a large number of rare minerals, as well as the Alturan space eel group inside the galaxy.

Therefore, in terms of resource extraction, it can be classified at a very high level, such as level 4.

Although the sky steel produced by the sky fish is only a high-grade metal material, the sky fish itself can be regarded as a special-level resource.

So in the end, the value of Ramu's star system will be determined to be level 4.

This is what the boss told him personally.

By the way, the boss also told Chen Ming to send him the survey data and star map coordinates of all the planets in the galaxy he had investigated.

He will help determine the value of the galaxy, and by the way, after a period of time,

Help Chen Ming sell the data of these planets.

Of course, Chen Ming also had a general understanding of some methods of determining the value of galaxies.

He could barely judge the value of the galaxy, but the result might not be very accurate.

The value of galaxies is generally divided into five levels. Like planets, the main thing to look at is the potential for development.

However, one thing is certain: a galaxy with level 5 development potential has at least one level 5 planet and at least two level 4 planets, and the total number of planets in the galaxy is 7 or more.

And suppose there is an extremely special galaxy with two level five stars and three level four stars.

And when the number of planets in the galaxy does not exceed 7, the remaining planets are all above level three.

Then this special galaxy will be called a magnitude 6 galaxy.

And if the planets inside the galaxy meet the above conditions, the number of planets inside the galaxy exceeds seven.

As long as the remaining planets are not in the habitable zone of the galaxy and have two planets with development values ​​below level 3, it can also be called a level 6 galaxy.

Currently, all the galaxies where the capitals of all the star fields known to Chen Ming are located are level 6 galaxies.

And this level 6 galaxy is the galaxy that Chen Ming needs.

Of course, a magnitude 6 galaxy is not actually a clear-cut criterion for judging.

It is only because this galaxy has the advantages of at least these planets that it can achieve a large degree of self-sufficiency in the development of the galaxy.

To a certain extent, it can ignore the distance problem of communication between galaxies and other galaxies with colonies or space stations.

That is why it is called a unique 6th-magnitude galaxy.

Chen Ming wants to gain a foothold in the universe on his own outside the empire.

Then a level 6 galaxy as the initial colony is a must for him.

Although rare, magnitude 6 galaxies definitely exist in the universe.

If you can't find him, keep looking.

The data on galaxies he discovered during his search, as well as the money he managed to earn, should be enough to cover the expenses of the exploration.

What makes magnitude 6 galaxies so special.

The reason lies in the empire's pioneering path.

In fact, what limits the empire's expansion is not just the afterglow and the mechanical race that block the roads to the outside world, nor is it the limitation that the jump engine needs cooling and frequent maintenance, nor is it the expenses on the road of expansion.

It's the transportation of supplies.

A team to explore and build a colony should have at least a thousand people, and more will be needed in the future.

And the construction of the colony, even in the early stages, was at least calculated in years.

It’s okay if the distance is close, but once the distance is far, a jump of the extreme distance cannot reach it.

That means at least one cruiser fully loaded with supplies will need maintenance before it can use its jump drive again.

The maintenance of the jump engine is also very troublesome under normal circumstances.

Without transit, the maintenance of the cruiser midway would result in an incredibly low efficiency in material transportation.

However, once a transit point is built, unless investment continues to increase, the construction of the transit point will in disguise slow down the construction of the colony.

But at present, there are obviously no valuable galaxies in the fringe star field that are worth such a huge investment.

Moreover, they may be threatened by Yuhui and the mechanical race along the way.

But if it is a level 6 galaxy, there will be no such troubles. After the initial transportation of materials, it can develop there completely self-sufficiently.

In fact, the development of so many star fields in the empire is also like this, finding another level 6 galaxy in a star field.

Develop this galaxy and build stargates.

Then, it will begin to expand from this galaxy to the surrounding areas until the star field develops to the point where it reconnects with the empire.

Only in this way can we minimize the impact of the troublesome problem of supply.

Therefore, Chen Ming’s psychic power can actually reduce the demand for level 6 galaxies to a certain extent.

His spiritual power can basically solve all problems regarding the transmission of materials.

Therefore, in addition to those people in the empire who were interested in the impact of his psychic powers on Yuhui, there was also a group of high-ranking officials in the empire who were interested in the power of his psychic powers in pioneering.

The boss would only mention to him that he was now a special person.

Because of this, he was able to successfully leave the empire without any obstruction from within the empire, as his psychic power had an extremely special effect on the afterglow, the great enemy of mankind.

Some people within the empire wanted to see whether he should be used for development or to target Yuhui.

Chen Ming was clear about this after talking with his boss before.

He is also aware of the responsibilities forced upon him by his psychic powers and identity.

That's why he studied so hard. He had to be able to exist independently outside the empire. Only in this way would he not be influenced by anyone else.

Now that he has a unique advantage, he cannot let go of this unique opportunity.

He has to break out and make opportunities for himself.
