Although a week has passed since Chen Ming had his conversation with the factory manager.

But at this moment, he was counting the harvest he had just obtained from the space station hijacked by Zuo Jing.

Just before, the moment when Chen Ming finished talking with the boss.

He directly ordered Gamma B to move towards the coordinates of the hijacked space station.

Only upon arrival.

The situation at the vegetation research station was a little more troublesome than he had imagined.

Not that anyone had already built a space station before him.

After all, when he came here, he was in a galaxy located in the edge star field with stars with special light radiation wavelengths.

There was nothing except a few left-wing spaceships that rushed over and self-destructed when they saw Chen Ming and were then blown up by Chen Ming.

Even Chen Ming from the Harmonious Botanical Research Institute was not seen.

At the same time, it is not the case that the left-wing elements have already blown up the space station.

The space station is still intact in the orbit of the only planet in the galaxy that is in the habitable zone, but it is actually a desolate planet with no life.

It’s not even about how crazy Zuo Jing’s subsequent counterattack was.

Because in addition to the fact that when Chen Ming's fleet entered the galaxy from hyperspace, there were several left-axis patrol ships coming to cause trouble.

There was basically no other movement in the galaxy, even at the space station.

Of course Chen Ming also knew that three days had passed from the time of the incident to the time his fleet arrived in this galaxy, and all the necessary movements should have been completed a few days ago.

And this is according to the information given by the factory director.

Although the space station of the Harmony Company was occupied, the communication equipment was completely fine. Unlike the previous mining space station, its means of external communication were not blocked.

Therefore, the company can directly lock some permissions of the space station from the outside and shut down some functions of the space station from a long distance.

The space station was turned into a large piece of scrap metal.

However, Chen Ming could not rule out the possibility that there was someone behind Zuo Jing providing them with support, so it was not clear whether some of the equipment on the space station, especially the defensive weapons, could still be used.

He was skeptical.

But to be honest, the weapons on the space station are just so-so.

This space station, which is less than two kilometers in size at most, is at least a research space station, not a dedicated combat warship, and cannot be equipped with any powerful weapons.

What really troubled Chen Ming was the densely packed wreckage of various ships floating around the space station.

All of this debris comes from available spacecraft on the space station.

Now they have all been turned into pieces.

Probably all of them were blown up from the left.

It would be fine if it was just the wreckage of a spacecraft.

At worst, Chen Ming could just activate the spaceship's shield, use the 14th Legion's Law Enforcers as the lead, and then follow with five Hammerheads to attack side by side.

But it can be detected on the sensors of Chen Ming's fleet spacecraft.

On top of these broken spacecraft wreckages, Zuo Jing had still maliciously placed a large number of explosives that could be triggered at any time.

It might explode if it gets hit by the slightest collision.

If Chen Ming's spaceships were really lined up and crashed into it, it would definitely explode.

Chen Ming didn't care if only his own spaceship was blown up.

However, he was not clear about the situation inside the space station and was not sure whether the aftermath of the explosion would affect the space station.

If there was a chain explosion that caused the space station to explode, that would be fatal.

At this time, in addition to the left-handed molecules, there are still many living researchers on the space station.

Based on the information Chen Ming had previously learned about the reward.

Because the space station can be controlled from the outside and the management of the space station responded promptly, many researchers successfully hid in the safest living area on the space station, which can be regarded as a large escape capsule.

Only some researchers were captured by the rioting left-wing elements, so the space station did not suffer many casualties during the riot.

The living area has food, shelter, and various basic infrastructure, which is actually not bad.

But now, things have changed a little.

When Chen Ming arrived, he didn't see anyone from Harmony Company.

But they do have spacecraft coming every day to patrol, risking being bombed by the left axis.

Confirm the general situation of the space station and publish the information.

And after these few days passed.

Because the left-wing elements took control of the space station's power system and directly cut off power to the entire space station.

Only the uncontrolled emergency backup power supply is still running, maintaining the minimum level of survival of the space station personnel.

Therefore, the situation in the living area is probably not optimistic now.

We must find a way to rescue them as soon as possible.

But the wreckage of the spacecraft outside, which was equipped with a large number of explosives, almost blocked all possibilities of using spacecraft for rescue.

Moreover, the communication between the space station and the outside world has been completely cut off due to the power outage, making it impossible to confirm the situation of the personnel on the space station.

Zuo Jing not only turned the space station into an iron-shelled turtle, but also an iron-shelled turtle with thorns.

Even if this iron-shelled turtle moves slightly, there is a chance that it will explode.

Let alone the rescue operation, just dealing with the left-wing elements is already very troublesome.

Chen Ming also thought about simply giving up all the researchers above and only dealing with the left path.

Even so, any unexpected situation could cause the entire space station to be completely scrapped, and there would be no need to think about any extra bonuses.

No wonder Chen Ming’s fleet arrived here several days after the bounty was issued, but no one stayed here to continue dealing with this thing.

This is really a troublesome bounty.

But recently, I don’t know if Chen Ming killed too many pirates or what.

In short, there was no news about new pirates from Glasses and Old Wu.

This group of Zuo Jing criminals are the only ones around with a large reward.

The remaining pirates are either too far away or the bounty is too low, and the most you can earn from each trip is just enough to cover the fuel costs.

So now Chen Ming did not give up immediately, but stared at the space station inside at the edge of the galaxy.

He just didn't believe that he had no stable way to deal with this space station.

For this reason, Chen Ming even temporarily put aside his studies.

Gamma B and I stared at the space station and the data scanned by the sensors for several hours.

During the journey, his fleet circled the galaxy several times.

Unexpectedly, we ran into the fleet of Harmony Company that came for daily inspection.

The other party had also heard of Chen Ming and knew that Chen Ming's fleet had significantly improved the public security of the entire edge star field during this period of time.

So after the Harmony Company's ship confirmed that Chen Ming had scanned the interior of the galaxy several times and it was safe, it came up and acted very enthusiastically.

They directly sent over some of the information they had just collected yesterday that had not yet been shared.

They even provided Chen Ming with a design blueprint of the space station that was more detailed than the space station map they had made public.

Then they ran away in order not to disturb Chen Ming.

With the blueprint and Chen Ming's observation for several hours

Hard work pays off

Chen Ming finally discovered that most of the sensor array on one side of the space station was damaged, and only a small part was still working.

Although those remaining sensors would certainly be able to detect obvious things like spacecraft engines, this might not be the case for other things.

So Chen Ming calculated the orbit at a certain distance outside the galaxy with the help of Chaofan, a monster beside him whose computing ability reached the star zone level.

Relying on his makeshift acceleration device, he threw a robot carrying a gamma core towards the space station.

It successfully passed through all the explosives scattered around the space station, avoiding the scanning of many sensors that had been damaged.

Then they found a gap in the outer wall of the space station.

And then, nothing happened.

The bounty ended when Chen Ming contacted the line to the space station.

It doesn't count the way here.

From the time Chen Ming arrived at the edge of the galaxy to the time his robot touched the space station.

It took five hours in total.

Four of those hours were spent observing the situation.

Fifty-nine minutes waiting for the robot to speed up and fly over.

The rest of the problem solving took a total of one minute.

Chen Ming had originally thought that there would be a fight between a spacecraft and a miniature space station, but it did not happen.

After the space station was completely controlled by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming can also control all inanimate objects on any space station.

This naturally includes high-powered explosives that are spread across almost all areas of the space station and can absolutely destroy the space station completely.

Chen Ming instantly dismantled all dangerous items on the space station, including these explosives, and dismantled all weapons, protective gear and clothing in the hands of the left-wing elements.

Then he took over and repaired the control center of the space station that was destroyed by the left-wing elements.

Successfully took control of the entire space station and blocked all the rooms containing left-diameter molecules.

Some of these left-wing elements who had lost all their weapons and were completely unable to resist wanted to commit suicide.

But he was immediately completely enveloped by the surging metallic liquid from the wall next to him, restricting all his movements.

Even if he wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, Chen Ming simply filled his mouth with metal liquid and solidified it, so he couldn't even close his mouth, let alone commit suicide.

If these people have the ability to hold their breath to the point of committing suicide, then they are awesome. Chen Ming admires them.

In short, none of the hundreds of left-path elements in the entire space station could perform any act of resistance under Chen Ming's psychic power.

As for those researchers who were caught by Zuo Jing.

All we can say is that Chen Ming expressed regret.

It was obvious that these people on the space station had no intention of leaving alive from the moment they occupied the space station.

The teachings of this evil cult meant that these researchers would never be treated normally by Zuo Jing.

Therefore, Chen Ming could only help control the only six remaining Zuo Jing elements next to the researcher who had not escaped Zuo Jing and hid in the safe living area on the space station.

Without noticing, he modified a few pistols that were accidentally loaded with bullets.

Then, a few minutes later, they were guided to a safe living area.

At this point, the entire bounty is completely over.

However, as soon as the incident was over, Chen Ming did not directly contact the people from Harmony Company whom he had just met.

Instead, I plan to spend some time studying this vegetation research station.

He thought that since he was here, it would not be a waste of his ability if he didn't take something away.

Relying on his psychic power to control all the equipment on the space station, Chen Ming figured out the situation of this vegetation research institute.

After all, it took a lot of his mental energy to control this space station which was as big as two or three cruisers. It would be a waste if he didn't make some profit from it before he signed an agreement with Harmony Company.

Although many research equipment in the space station were destroyed by Zuo Jing, Chen Ming could still see that it was a large plant research and cultivation laboratory.

Most of the research conducted here is on crops that can be grown in large quantities commercially.

However, what surprised Chen Ming was that the core of the entire research station's overall work was a laboratory in the most central area of ​​the space station.

At the door of this laboratory, there are several biohazard icons with black text on a yellow background, which make people feel uncomfortable.

And in this laboratory, Chen Ming accidentally discovered something special.

A... no, it's a group of purple fungal creatures that are being cultivated.

It is not accurate to say that they were cultivated, because they had escaped from the damaged culture room, killed several left-path molecules that destroyed the culture room, and began to grow disorderly.

When Chen Ming looked over, these purple fungi appeared almost everywhere in the laboratory.

It was especially concentrated in the cultivation and observation room inside the laboratory.

All the other petri dishes in the laboratory that were used to cultivate various organisms were eaten up.

However, the fungus did not move on the corpses of several left-wingers killed by the fungus. It even kept a certain distance from the corpses and did not grow on them.

I don’t know if it has something to do with the black and red blood mixed with some dead purple fungi that flows from the eyes, nostrils, corners of the mouth, and ears of these corpses.

The most special thing about these purple fungi is...

They are psionic creatures.

Even through the gamma core, Chen Ming could feel the extremely obvious spiritual energy fluctuations from them.

Chen Ming didn't react at first, because he had been exposed to a lot of things related to psychic power recently, and encountering another one seemed a bit too coincidental.

But when he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem so unreasonable.

After all, he came here following the traces of Zuo Jing.

In Chen Ming's impression, the several things he encountered related to Zuo Jing seemed to be somewhat special.

The first time was when he attended an auction held by the government and the Sinda Company to catch left-handed bass. He was just dragged into it that time.

And the following few times seemed to be because Zuo Jing took the initiative to look for him, the psychic.

In a sense, wherever there is a left path, there is spiritual energy.

So it didn't seem unacceptable that Chen Ming took the initiative to track Zuo Jing and encountered a psychic creature this time.

And in the computer of this laboratory, Chen Ming happened to find the research records and all research documents of this group of fungal psychic creatures.

The origins of these psychic fungal creatures are also recorded in the document.

A few months ago, the parent company of Harmony Corporation, which is also the mining company, found the psychic creature underground when it was developing a mineral vein on a planet.

The CEO of Harmony knows the boss, so it is not surprising that he is able to capture this psychic creature.

A month ago, Harmony Company took some samples from this group of psychic creatures that had been studied for some time and sent them here.

I want to study whether the special light radiation band of the stars in this galaxy will have any special impact on it.

Although the document states that it is a secret transport, Zuo Jing's appearance here to seize the space station can only mean that the secret transport is not so secret after all.

There must be people who believe in the left path infiltrated the company again, and there is a high probability that they are on the space station.

Chen Ming couldn't understand why.

If we talk about some mining planets, even the mining space stations where he had been, he could understand that there were left-diameter molecules on these places.

After all, this kind of work is extremely hard and difficult.

But in a mental workplace like the Vegetation Research Station, the average IQ of the researchers there should be higher than that of ordinary people, right?

Can this be infiltrated?

I don't understand.

Forget it, if I can’t figure it out, I won’t do it.

In short, Zuo Jing knew that there were some psychic creatures here who were not under strict guard, so he came here to cause trouble.

As a result, they didn't know how to take these psychic creatures away, so they could only occupy the space station and wait for orders from their superiors.

Although it looks that way.

But the reality is different than it seems.

Chen Ming learned the actual situation from the data read from a terminal in the hands of a man who looked like their leader before it was disassembled.

Zuo Jing actually wanted to do something big.

After all, they could see the big words "BIOHAZARD" on the door of the laboratory.

And the orders their leaders received from their superiors were even clearer.

This psychic fungus creature is highly contagious and harmful. It once caused a lot of damage when the Harmony Company captured it. If it is not watched over, it will cause great harm.

That's why Zuo Jing set his sights on this dangerous creature.

Instead, they really hope that someone will send a team directly to land on the space station, so that they will have a chance to spread the fungus.

This is Zuo Jing’s idea.

And they had personally experienced the horror of fungi when they first destroyed the fungus culture room in the laboratory.

As long as someone really lands on the space station, they will immediately open the closed laboratory door and use their bodies as carriers to infect the people who have landed.

It's simply madness taken to the extreme.

But for Chen Ming, all the efforts were in vain.

All of Zuo Jing's arrangements were resolved one by one by Chen Ming, which only wasted a few hours of his time.

Chen Ming also used transformation technology to physically change the appearance of the entire laboratory for those fungi that escaped.

By using the metal liquid that filled the entire laboratory, all the psychic fungi covering the laboratory environment were gathered together and stuffed back into the culture room.

And repaired the damaged areas and equipment in the culture room.

The environment was restored to its original state in just a few minutes.

Chen Ming even used his psychic powers to confirm whether there were any fungal spores in other parts of the space station.

Although these things are invisible to the naked eye, Chen Ming's psychic power is still very effective against these psychic creatures and can easily detect them.

However, what surprised Chen Ming was that the people in Zuojing seemed to still have some brains.

No fungal spores are added directly into the air circulation system.

To prevent everyone from dying and others from thinking that the space station is beyond saving, they would just blow up the space station and make their plans fail.

The researchers in the company must know better than these people the harmful effects of fungi coming out after a person dies.

Between two evils, choose the lesser evil. Their final fate may be to become cosmic dust along with the space station and these fungi.

So at least for now, Chen Ming's psychic power has not discovered any place on the space station where these psychic fungal creatures exist except in the laboratory.

So far, the problem left by Zuo Jing was also solved by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming's attention was naturally attracted by these psychic fungal creatures.

Although Chen Ming really wanted to pack up the entire culture room and take it away, there were many devices inside the culture room that were connected to various parts of the laboratory to restrict these dangerous fungal organisms.

But digging out the entire laboratory seemed a bit excessive.

However, Chen Ming was still happy to take away some samples.

Anyway, it's an unspoken rule to take something away when doing this kind of mission, and no one will pursue it as long as you don't go too far.

What's more, Chen Ming was very considerate and collected all the escaped fungi, and also blocked the gap in the culture room. Harmonious Company has to thank him for this.

So Chen Ming took away some living samples of fungi with peace of mind, as well as some samples of dried fungi and dried fungal spores stored in special containers in the laboratory.

And the completely sealed storage container containing the samples was delivered to his fleet, which had successfully cleared the minefield around the space station and was approaching the space station.

Although Chen Ming didn't know what use this thing that could be considered a biological weapon of mass destruction would be to him.

But anyway, just take it first, you’ll know later if it’s useful or not.

Even if these psychic fungi do not have the ability to be used as weapons, even if they are like Xiao Shi, who is also a psychic creature, eating and sleeping all day and running around the spaceship, it is worth bringing them along.

What's more, Chen Ming has an extraordinary person who is specifically responsible for research.

Although Chaofan is not researching this area, Chaofan is already bored enough to accompany him to study cruiser-level technology, so it seems possible for him to study the creatures next door.

Of course, Chen Ming also hoped to get guidance in biotechnology from Chaofan, whose learning speed would definitely be faster than his.

In short, Chaofan did agree.

Although the process was a little bumpy.

At first, even though it had been extremely bored for the past two days, it had no intention of agreeing.

But when Chen Ming mentioned that this thing was a psychic creature, Chaofan quickly swallowed back what he had said before.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong at the space station, Chen Ming sent out a group of the fleet to send away the psychic fungal creatures.

Then I reconnected with the people at the company.

Then he asked Lao Wu to help him go to the capital of the star region. With the help of the company and the boss, they each found an official to witness the signing of a contract restricting Chen Ming's subsequent use of psychic power on the space station.

Of course, the previous things will definitely not be held accountable.

Harmony Company was sure to notice that Chen Ming had taken some samples away, but they could also see that the culture room had been repaired, so it would be better for everyone if they just pretended that nothing had happened.

They also chose to pay the full amount of the reward for protecting their research results.

In the end, the bounty Chen Ming received was 1 billion yuan in addition to the 1 billion yuan for capturing almost all the left-wing elements alive.

There was also 300 million for the minor damage to the space station, 500 million for protecting the research results, and 600 million in the end for most of the ordinary researchers and several important researchers on the space station who were not injured or killed.

A total of 2.4 billion.

This fills the gap left by Chen Ming's purchase of a large amount of industrial and research equipment some time ago.

The psychic creatures that Chen Ming accidentally obtained on the space station were not delivered to him until today.

It can only be said that the transportation of biological things is still quite troublesome for Chen Ming.

But the result of waiting also made Chen Ming fully accept the process of waiting.

After Chaofan started learning biology from scratch like Chen Ming two days ago, he is now able to investigate the data that Chen Ming obtained at the vegetation research station.

I will be able to give Chen Ming a definite answer and analysis report in about another week.
