184. Chapter 183 The past week



After the arrival of the completely sealed spacecraft carrying the psychic fungal creatures.

In addition to handing it over to Chaofan, Chen Ming

He also modified some research equipment he had purchased a few days ago, which was the same model as the research equipment he saw at the vegetation research station, and moved it to the spacecraft that transported the psychic fungal creatures.

It was handed over to Chaofan to assist it in biological research.

As for the first batch of research equipment that Chen Ming bought, it can only be said that it may be because he bought too much and the supply was not enough, so it has not been delivered to the boss yet.

Chaofan can only wait for two more days.

After doing this, Chen Ming had finished dealing with the final part of Zuo Jing's occupation of the space station.

Then he picked up the terminal again and began to record other things that happened in the past week.

Chen Ming has now developed a habit of recording important things regularly to avoid forgetting them later.

By the way, he can also remind him of what he needs to do every week, such as providing the boss with the highest point operating data that Shao Yang needs.

And in the past week.

Except for the day when Chen Ming went to play with Zuo Jing, he was very busy at other times.

Especially studying.

In the past week, every morning there was a high-intensity military command course taught by Baiquan himself.

In fact, according to Bai Quan's original plan, Chen Ming needed to learn command techniques from him all day long.

But on the first day, Chen Ming successfully completed the content that would have taken a week to complete according to Baiquan's plan in just one day, so...

Although Bai Quan also believed that Chen Ming did not have the basics of military management and command in the military academy, so he put a lot of basic content in the textbooks.

But Bai Quan was still very surprised that Chen Ming's learning efficiency was so outrageous.

So much so that Bai Quan wanted to speed up the entire learning process, but Chen Ming did not agree.

Because on the first day he wanted to confirm his efficiency in learning conducting through a day of study so that he could re-plan his previously arranged schedule and try to keep the progress of the three aspects he currently needed to learn basically consistent.

After all, he has to learn how to conduct, but he definitely can't fall behind in the other aspects.

Cruiser-level techniques must be learned, and the basics of biology must be learned.

Over the years, Chen Ming had almost forgotten what he had learned about biology. He had not come into contact with biology since college, and he had no memory of it.

Everything has to be made up.

Baiquan is going to speed up the command course in order to squeeze every bit of his time.

So Chen Ming's final request was that within the limited time he planned in one day, that is, one morning, Bai Quan could teach however he wanted and cram in as much as he wanted.

He tried his best to learn, and he had other uses for the remaining time.

At that time, Baiquan seemed to have taken on the role of an instructor, and asked: "Your affairs should all be handled by your Yuhui, right? Is there anything else you want to do?"

So Chen Ming packed up everything he needed to learn, including spacecraft, biotechnology, and various documents that Chaofan wrote specifically for Chen Ming on learning cruiser technology and modifying spacecraft, and sent them to Bai Quan.

Then Baiquan had no objection.

So Chen Ming felt a little miserable because of the high-intensity study every morning during the past few days.

However, being able to feel my own progress during the learning process makes up for the painful feeling a little.

In addition, Bai Quan also specifically asked Chen Ming why he was studying biology.

Then Chen Ming said that he would know after a while.

If Chen Ming remembered correctly, Bai Quan would definitely know within this month.

Of course, Chen Ming was not referring to the biological spacecraft.

The bio-ship is too important and bizarre, and too closely related to the Zerg, to be exposed now.

What he was referring to was the large-scale breeding of crystal crabs that would be carried out in his colony in the future.

This is a long-term process that Chen Ming will use for his own use and to maintain contact with the empire to a certain extent.

After all, it is impossible for Chen Ming to earn the materials needed to maintain a colony by himself, nor is it possible for him to rely solely on the support of his boss.

The colonies must have their own industries.

So when Chen Ming wasn't even sure what kind of colony he could find.

The energy crystal crab, which has been cultivated by Yuhui and can be mass-produced and reproduced on a certain scale, and is not yet available in the empire, is obviously a very good choice.

It just so happened that the boss had in his hands the two crystal crabs and two eggs that Chen Ming had given to him as local specialties.

And the boss will definitely give the pair of energy crystal crabs to Baiquan at Baiquan's promotion ceremony later.

Chen Ming had previously heard from Bai Quan that he had invited his boss to attend the promotion ceremony, and the boss agreed.

Although Chen Ming gave the energy crystal crab to the boss at first, he actually had no intention of asking the boss to take it out at the promotion ceremony.

But since it happened to be this time, even if Chen Ming didn't mean it that way, he must have meant it that way.

By that time, it would make sense for Chen Ming to study biotechnology, and Bai Quan naturally wouldn't think too much about it.

He would only think that Chen Ming wanted to take advantage of this opportunity of the 14th Legion to help publicize the existence of the energy crystal crab in advance.

Chen Ming also doesn't have to worry that the two crystal crabs and the two eggs will lead to the leakage of the breeding method of crystal crabs.

Yu Hui spent so much time researching before he was able to stably cultivate energy crystal crabs in an artificial environment.

The Empire only has two crystal crabs and two eggs for research. It is impossible for them to be faster than Yuhui.

Even if it is really possible, for example, if there is some biological research expert within the empire who uses cloning technology to mass-breed energy crystal crabs for research, it is possible that some results will be obtained.

But Bai Quan will definitely help to curb this matter and will never give others the opportunity to gain in-depth understanding and obtain energy crystal crab samples.

After all, Chen Ming wants to take advantage of the opportunity from Baiquan's Fourteenth Legion to expand the spread of his future colonial industry, so he will definitely need to give Baiquan some benefits.

Baiquan can benefit from it himself, so why should he let others have a share?

It is more likely that the 14th Legion is researching energy crystal crab technology internally.

However, this also means that Chen Ming and the 14th Legion will have a conflict and their relationship will become very bad.

The interests of a crystal crab and the friendship of a psyker.

Baiquan can definitely make a reasonable choice.

But that is a matter for the future. The specific date of Baiquan’s promotion ceremony has not been announced yet, and Chen Ming’s colony is still a long way off.

We'll talk about everything later.

In short, Chen Ming is now busy with command and study in Baiquan in the morning.

The cruiser skills I learned in the afternoon also improved by leaps and bounds under his extraordinary guidance.

At least now, Chen Ming has no problem with the basic knowledge of cruiser levels.

Some basic modifications that break through the output limits of the normal power grid restrictions can be carried out at any time.

It can only be said that Chen Ming still prefers the overclocking modification he learned from Zuo Jing, because his ability can ensure the safety of his spacecraft after overclocking it.

Therefore, such transformation has almost no negative effect on Chen Ming.

Even Chen Ming has recently asked Lao Wu to collect some information about Zuo Jing, preferably about their strange technology for ship modification.

Although the teachings of the Luddites are extremely averse to technology, they have made good progress in carrying out destruction or some extreme technologies.

Chen Ming can definitely try to replicate it.

During the day, Chen Ming studied command techniques and ship technology.

Every night, Chen Ming spends time studying biological technology.

Thanks to the fact that his learning efficiency has greatly increased due to the increase in the number of mechanical creatures he controls in recent times, and some vague memories about the subject of biology in his mind.

Chen Ming spent three days to re-master everything from elementary school to high school level.

In the remaining four days of the past week, I was studying some other basic subjects required for biotechnology starting from the university level, and the progress is now about one third.

Once he has mastered the subjects at the university level, Chen Ming will be able to study the subject of biotechnology in more depth.

Chaofan even relied on his more exaggerated learning efficiency than Chen Ming to master more advanced biotechnology faster than Chen Ming.

So it directly helped Chen Ming plan his future path in biology.

By the way, he also helped Chen Ming think of some biotechnologies that Chen Ming must master in advance.

It is the biological technology that allows Chen Ming to transfer the queen insect to any place he needs.

There are two in total.

One is a biomass agglomerate.

A solid material condensed from a high concentration of biomass belonging to the Zerg.

It is used to provide nutrition to the Queen Zerg and cultivate the Zerg after Chen Ming uses the honeycomb network to transfer the Queen Zerg.

It is equivalent to a kind of compressed biscuit exclusively for the Queen of Insects.

The second one is shellac.

This is the food of the Zerg and also the "fuel" of the Zerg as a species.

Ordinary Zerg do not have a rigid digestive sac that can eat anything like the Queen Zerg.

Therefore, ordinary Zerg must eat normal food, such as animal corpses or various plants, or the Thorn Zerg shellac produced by a special nutritional insect within the Zerg.

In other words, Chen Ming just needs to be able to come up with these two technologies.

It can rely on these two abilities and some of the queen insect's body tissues.

Create a Zerg army with sufficient combat capabilities in any place.

As long as he can bring the Queen Insect's consciousness to his side through the hive network and provide enough nutrition, the Queen Insect will help Chen Ming take care of the rest.

Therefore, Chen Ming’s next plan regarding biology is to only learn the knowledge points related to these two technologies, and not learn other knowledge for the time being, and find a way to make up for it later.

Although the mechanical family itself is indeed quite complex, especially the core chips, secondary cores and nanorobots that are most critical to maintaining the operation of the mechanical family.

Especially nanorobots.

Chen Ming's technology has been moving towards macro-technologies such as cruisers and battleships, and he can only say that he is completely incomprehensible about micro-technologies such as nanorobots.

Fortunately, nanorobots are a detachable component for the mechanical family as a whole, so Chen Ming does not actually have to master the technology of nanorobots in order to manufacture the mechanical family.

Just remove the components from the corpses of other mechanical people and then install them.

If it really doesn't work, Chen Ming would simply not install these nanorobots.

His own psychic power can replace the functions of these nanorobots.

As for the design of the mechanical race itself...all we can say is that the Empire has already integrated many of the mechanical race's designs during its development and incorporated them into its own relevant textbooks.

For Chen Ming, learning is not difficult.

Therefore, the Mechanical Race was able to teleport by relying on his psychic power much earlier than the Zerg were able to teleport by relying on his psychic power.

But there are always things about living things that machines cannot match.

Therefore, even though Chen Ming's progress in learning Zerg-related biotechnology was slow, he could still accept it.

Anyway, he only spent a relatively short period of time in the evening.

The time spent during the day, morning, afternoon and evening is not short at all, and can even be said to be fully scheduled.

It did put a lot of pressure on Chen Ming.

But once you get used to it, the rest doesn't matter.

Although he was very busy, Chen Ming still forced himself to take out some time to visit the galaxy where Chen Ming's afterglow discovered the habitable planet last week.

And entered the atmosphere of that habitable planet, and while studying, he distractedly controlled the apex to conduct several high-power scans of the planet.

They even arranged for robots controlled by Yuhui individuals to conduct multiple surveys of the planet's soil, water quality, atmosphere, and various local creatures at different longitudes and latitudes.

The final result can only be said that the planet is okay. This habitable planet is not as dangerous as Ramuci and can be judged as a level 4 planet.

But the galaxy where the planet is located is not very good, according to the survey data of other planets in the galaxy that Chen Ming sent to his boss.

The boss responded that it was barely a stretch to assign this galaxy to level 3 because, apart from that habitable planet, there were almost no resources that could be developed in the galaxy.

It's just a pity, but it's still okay.

Anyway, Chen Ming has no plan to build a colony in this place, and there will always be people interested in a level 4 habitable planet.

This is also true even if this galaxy is outside the afterglow star field.

Because Chen Ming heard some special news from Old Wu these days.

The Empire has been in a stalemate for a long time on the front line of the battle with Yuhui Headquarters, and it seems that they are planning to shift their focus to the Galo Star Region.

Chen Ming still remembers very clearly what Huihuang had said to him.

The moment the Empire truly turned its iron fist here, that was the moment when the final countdown of Yuhui's life in this star field began.

If the afterglow here is killed, then the star field outside will have value in itself. However, the galaxies with less value due to the existence of the afterglow will naturally return to the price they should be at.

However, one thing is clear to Chen Ming, that is, any slight action of such a huge empire will definitely take a lot of time.

The Empire has not taken action against the Afterglow Star Region so quickly.

So Chen Ming still has some time to do something with the help of his Yuhui individuals who barely survived Yuhui's internal massacre.

Of course not now, now he still has things to study, explore and build colonies to do.

As for the planet data that Chen Ming collected during the exploration, the boss will collect it first and will not sell it immediately.

The boss will wait until Chen Ming continues to expand and Renhe and Yuhui have left before processing this batch of data, which will not affect Chen Ming's work.

In addition to last week's Chen Ming's afterglow, he was investigating the surrounding galaxies.

In the past week, Chen Ming's afterglow continued to explore the outside world.

And just at the beginning of last week, the starport at the temporary base was completed.

Under the brilliant planning, the entire starport can carry an upper limit number of spacecraft to continuously take off and land.

In the past week, all galaxies with possible habitable planets within 110 light years around Chen Ming's temporary base have been investigated.

The efficiency can be said to be very high.

Although the efficiency will definitely decrease as the exploration distance increases.

Moreover, in some places, hyperspace channels have appeared that need to be opened up by Chen Ming's Supreme Point.

As we continue to move outward, the possibility of encountering a hyperspace cloud blocking our route will become increasingly higher.

After that, the highest point may have to be responsible for clearing the way for the following spacecraft 24 hours a day.

But fortunately, the Supreme Point has an automatic driving system, and Chaofan is also on the spacecraft, so there shouldn't be any big trouble.

As for the decreased efficiency, Chen Ming could only say that this was also a necessary part of the road to development and he would just get used to it.

And during this week, we explored the area 110 light years around the temporary base.

The results obtained by the Yuhui individuals were the same as last week, not very ideal.

Even though the search distance has more than doubled, the search range has expanded several times.

In the end, Chen Ming found only one habitable planet.

However, there are four other planets with open-pit mines that can be easily discovered.

These four planets together almost perfectly cover the mineral veins of basic metals such as iron, aluminum, tungsten, etc. that Chen Ming will need very much to build a colony in the future.

Chen Ming even found a high-grade metal material, solid gold, on a planet.

It is a synthetic material of an equally advanced material called Gold Crystal, which is often used in high-precision sensors on various types of combat spacecraft.

The demand is neither big nor small.

It looks okay, but that's all.

After all, the hundreds of light years of an extreme jump plus the more than a hundred light years explored by Chen Ming are not far from the border of the empire in practical terms.

And in such a place where the imperial border, the afterglow border and the mechanical border meet, the planet with good things should have been discovered long ago.

The previous planet where there was an independent mechanical race was already a pleasant surprise.

For now, we can only say that we have collected planetary data and can determine its value, which is a success.

Although there are not many valuable planets, when Chen Ming went to the planet he discovered last week, he also visited several valuable planets and galaxies discovered this week.

With autonomous driving and Chaofan, Chen Ming doesn't need to worry about anything.

Moreover, although Chen Ming needs the minerals, he cannot invest too many resources to mine them.

But it would be no problem to leave some open-pit mining equipment and afterglow individuals on these mineral planets and mine some open-pit mineral veins on a small scale.

Open-pit mining is easy, and Chen Ming provides various support remotely.

Mining is never a loss.

In addition, Chen Ming has almost learned some simple basic equipment needed for the colony in the past few days.

He could even rely on those afterglow individuals to modify industrial equipment on the spot, and provide remote maintenance and fuel purely through psychic energy.

Even if he simply used some fuel and mental power to exchange for some high-level mineral veins, it would not be a loss for Chen Ming.

When Chen Ming makes the next extreme-distance jump and prepares to leave, and his boss sells the data on the galaxy and planets, he will remove the equipment here.

Anyway, the equipment can be dismantled and taken away, and the materials can be modified and transported.

As for the afterglow individuals here, just let them drive their spaceships back by themselves, or there would be no problem for Huiyao to pick them up.

In the future, if Chen Ming encounters a similar planet with resources that can be easily developed, he will treat it in the same way.

Chen Ming always felt uncomfortable if he didn't pick up something when passing by.

Except for the four planets with open-pit mines.

That habitable planet is quite special.

Because this is a planet dominated by large arthropods.

Simply put, it is a planet similar to the ancient Earth, but the main species are insects instead of dinosaurs.

Chen Ming made special arrangements personally and spent some time catching dozens of giant insects of various shapes, preparing to feed them to the queen insect.

The Queen of Worms has remained on the planet of the Mechanical Clan these past few days, continuing to expand its population and territory by devouring various creatures on the surface and underground and all kinds of things it can digest.

In the past few days, in addition to controlling the mechanical race every day, Chen Ming has also been trying to communicate with the Queen of Insects to see if he can make it actively evolve some abilities.

Although the Queen Insect's response was a little vague, Chen Ming still understood what it meant.

The Thorn Zerg species is very powerful, and the source of their power is their special evolutionary ability.

The main way to demonstrate this evolutionary ability is through combat.

During the battle, some Zerg individuals will show evolutionary adaptation to combat.

These evolutions will be extracted, saved, and recorded by the Queen, and then applied to every individual Zerg.

The other type is actually related to combat.

The Zerg will instinctively release the abilities hidden in their genes during battle, displaying powerful traits deep within their genes.

As for where the traits in these genes come from…

There is only one, eat.
