A week passed quickly.

Chen Ming once had a habit of recording what happened in the past week on weekend nights.

In the past week, the temporary base was operating normally even without Chen Ming, and was carrying out external development and investigation as usual.

They also accidentally discovered the remains of an Alturan sky eel floating in space, which was collected by Brilliant, who then intensified their exploration of the galaxies around the remains.

Chen Ming, who was in the space station, continued to teach with Bai Quan every day, but reduced the time he spent on other studies and used it more on research.

In a week, he successfully got two deeply repaired technologies out.

Of course, since Chen Ming himself does not know much about antimatter technology, the antimatter engine only has improved physical samples.

The other unstable hyperspace channel jump engine he developed himself was completely different after deep maintenance.

After several days of research, Chen Ming has fully understood how the improved hyperspace engine technology works.

And by using reverse reasoning, he successfully wrote a paper that looked like a completely forward research.

It can only be said that psychic power is also a part of research ability.

Then Chen Ming submitted the paper to a top academic journal related to spacecraft technology that he knew.

By the way, I also borrowed some connections from Baiquan.

Let those who are specifically responsible for review speed up the review process.

Chen Ming didn't know where Bai Quan got this kind of connection, but since he could do it, Chen Ming had no reason to refuse.

It takes a lot of time to review professional papers, so why not use connections if you can?

There should be no surprises in this paper.

After all, Chen Ming first developed a stable hyperspace channel engine and then wrote the paper. He knew very well what kind of effect the hyperspace channel engine had.

Chen Ming estimated that there would be a response in the next two days, and by then it would be easy to make money with the patent in hand.

But the antimatter engine is a little hot.

Because it is completely different from the hyperspace channel engine, Chen Ming cannot provide a forward research process that at least looks reasonable.

This means that Chen Ming's psychic powers can perform deep repairs on anything without being limited by his own level of knowledge.

The value of such psychic power is terrifying to anyone.

This is especially true for an empire that has mastered countless cutting-edge technologies.

If Chen Ming showed the optimized antimatter engine, he might not be able to leave when he came back this time.

Because his psychic power has demonstrated value in research far beyond its combat value.

Change your thinking a little bit and think about it, if Chen Ming is an official of the empire, or a top official researcher.

If they knew that there was a psychic with such powers running around outside, they would definitely be worried and would definitely want to keep him in the empire, preferably in an extremely safe place.

Then they provide him with delicious food and drink, and wait for the psychic to use his psychic power to improve his technology.

This kind of life seems good, but Chen Ming doesn't want to live like this.

So he hid the improved antimatter technology and gave it to Chaofan to study.

To be precise, the extraordinary was thrown to the stardust level.

Then within two days, Chaofan sent Chen Ming a list, a list of research equipment used to study the improved antimatter engine.

Because the equipment that Chen Ming bought previously did not include equipment for researching antimatter technology.

If purchased newly, this batch of research equipment would cost around 12 billion.

It is quite difficult to buy, and there is no place to install it after buying it.

The remaining space at the highest point had already been filled with the research equipment that Chen Ming had purchased in the last batch.

But Chen Ming finally agreed.

In addition, idle spaces such as the crew lounge on the Stardust-class ship, which generally does not appear at the forefront of the battlefield but is placed at the end of the battlefield to house the self-destructive planes, have been renovated to make room.

It will be used to transform the laboratory into a supernatural one.

After all, Chen Ming himself owns the patent for antimatter technology. It is not difficult to obtain the antimatter technology itself, and it is not difficult to let Chaofan learn it.

However, if you want Superhuman to master the improved antimatter engine with his bare hands, that is just wishful thinking.

However, the improvement of the antimatter engine to the spacecraft is quite obvious. The greatly increased radiation energy capacity and radiation energy dissipation are of great significance even to Chen Ming.

Not to mention the improved ones.

Therefore, Chen Ming will definitely try to master the improved antimatter technology, which will be beneficial to his own fleet and the construction of future colonies.

As long as Chen Ming can write a complete research process similar to the improved stable hyperspace channel engine he developed himself.

He could throw out the technology of the improved antimatter engine without having to face the restrictions that might be imposed by the top brass of the empire.

At the same time, you can use such improvements to make more money.

So these 12 billion cannot be saved.

Old Wu definitely couldn't get any antimatter-related equipment, so Chen Ming went directly to the boss.

The boss did agree, but it is hard to say when we can get the equipment.

In short, in the past week, in addition to waiting for equipment and writing papers, Chen Ming was also doing some other things.

His research on Zerg structures is ongoing.

Although it was a bit difficult, the progress was not ideal.

Just the first step of cultivating the larvae took Chen Ming several days.

Because under normal circumstances, every step of larvae cultivation is carried out by the queen insect herself, and every larva is pinched out by the queen insect herself.

If automated breeding is to be accomplished through biological construction, then each step that the queen performs must be carefully differentiated.

The various organs and tissues inside the biological building must be able to reproduce the steps of the queen insect pinching the larvae one by one, and also be able to reproduce them in batches.

It's like every step of a fertilized egg from division to differentiation to the final formation of a baby is not carried out automatically, but requires human hands to manipulate it. You can imagine how difficult it is.

Fortunately, Chen Ming’s psychic power is not just for show.

In the past week, except for the first two days when Chen Ming used his psychic energy on antimatter technology and unstable hyperspace channel engines, the psychic energy in the next five days was used on the Zerg.

Finally, they successfully created a Zerg biological building, which Chen Ming named "Larva Hatching Pool".

As for the subsequent differentiation and cultivation of various Zerg-specific biological buildings, we can only say that the goal is still very far away.

The cultivation of special individuals on the other side is also still in progress.

It's just that the progress is basically zero.

For the time being, Chen Ming couldn't think of any means or genes to cultivate Zerg that could defeat ten thousand alone like the Infernal Lord, and even defeating a hundred alone was a little difficult to achieve.

But you have to eat one step at a time, and walk one bite at a time.

Therefore, Chen Ming's idea is to first use modern scientific technology and the Queen's biological technology to create an individual whose combat power is at least greater than that of the same Zerg, and then cultivate it step by step.

But this is not a simple matter. After all, the Zerg individual is not the biological armor he wears, but a real living creature.

How to cultivate such a living creature has been a problem that has been bothering Chen Ming for the past two days and he has not been able to solve it yet.

And since there are special units on the ground, there can also be special units in space.

However, Chen Ming thought about it carefully and discovered that the special unit in space was the battleship.

After all, the special units on the ground can defeat thousands of enemies alone when the enemy has no special units.

In space, the only ones that can fight against ten thousand enemies at once when the enemy has no units of equal strength are battleships. Even cruisers might be defeated.

So Chen Ming simply gave up the idea of ​​special individuals in space for the time being and concentrated on the research of special units on the ground.

Although this concentration is not very focused, at least Chen Ming has tried it, but there is no progress, and he has other things to do.

Moreover, Chen Ming temporarily gave up the idea of ​​special individuals in space.

But Chen Ming also thought of the Queen of Insects.

The mother of this queen insect evolved from a frigate into a destroyer.

Then it is reasonable for a destroyer to evolve into a cruiser.

And going further up, it is not impossible for a cruiser to evolve into a battleship.

So Chen Ming had the plan to evolve the Queen Insect's current destroyer-level biological spacecraft into a cruiser-level one.

Direct evolution is a bit difficult, so Chen Ming plans to use the Zerg's own old method.

It just so happens that the queen insect still has the memories left by its mother.

So when Chen Ming drove the Defender left at the temporary base to the Queen's current location and asked it to try to replace the components of the cruiser, he found that this idea was completely feasible.

It just takes time.

Before, it took the Queen of Insects a lot of time to replace the parts of a frigate, and it also took a long time to evolve from a frigate into a destroyer.

So Chen Ming just let the Queen Insect try it experimentally, and it hasn't actually started yet.

At least we have to wait until the Queen figures out the Zerg buildings that will allow the Zerg to continue to develop without it.

Instead of just having a larval hatching pool, then talk about it.

Although the progress of most of the things Chen Ming wanted to do with the Queen of Insects was not ideal, there was still one piece of good news.

There is absolutely no problem in promoting the idea of ​​using the Zerg hive network that suddenly came to Chen Ming's mind before. Maybe there will be practical results in a few days.

By then, Chen Ming plans to give Old Wu and the factory director a surprise, but it might also be a shock.

But this is not important. What is important is that this technology can bring many benefits to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming suddenly shook his hands, ended the record of important events of this week, and prepared to rest as usual.

But at this time Chen Ming suddenly received a message from his boss.

It is a string of communication codes and a sentence.

"This is Shao Yang's contact information."

Just when Chen Ming was full of questions, a call came to Chen Ming's terminal, and the number displayed on it was Shao Yang's communication code.

Chen Ming answered the phone, and a young man with a scholarly air came from the other end of the line: "Chen Ming?"

"It's me."

Shao Yang's words were so direct that Chen Ming was slightly stunned before he responded, "Yes, I know you."

"Okay, let me tell you about the research equipment you requested."

Now Chen Ming knew the situation. The boss directly gave what Chen Ming wanted to Shao Yang to deal with. No wonder he sent the communication code over.

Before Chen Ming could say anything, Shao Yang said, "Many of the things you want are currently out of stock. If you follow the recent news, you should know that equipment related to antimatter technology is in great demand right now."

"But I've found a way to basically get everything done for you. The only thing is that the antimatter particle capture device is really out of stock. It's not available for the time being. You'll have to wait for a while."

It was a pleasant surprise for Chen Ming to find all the equipment so quickly, so he immediately thanked him and said, "It's okay, I can wait, thank you for your help."

"Um."

Shao Yang calmly accepted Chen Ming's thanks, and then said: "Then the reason I contacted you this time, in addition to talking to you about the equipment, I also want to find you for another matter."

"What is it? Tell me."

"There was a small problem with the data I received from your highest point last week."

Chen Ming's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly realized a problem.

He had obviously done some extensive repairs on the Supreme Spaceship, and the ship itself was clearly different from before.

So, as a designer who completed the design of the pinnacle alone, can you discover some changes on the spacecraft through changes in the data transmitted back?

Chen Ming felt that the answer should not require much thought.

"so……"

Shao Yang said simply: "So I want to cooperate with you."

"Your psychic power should not only be able to control the spacecraft and things related to the spacecraft, but also have the ability to optimize the spacecraft design, and this optimization is without any restrictions."

"I know you. Your current knowledge level is definitely not enough to optimize the Supreme Point. It has only been three months since the Supreme Point was developed. No one can optimize it."

Shao Yang's tone was very confident and full of arrogance.

"So when I got the data you returned, I thought about it and finally determined that the reason for the data change was you."

"Am I right?"

Chen Ming asked back: "Then have you ever thought that I might have made up false data to deceive you?"

"People Mr. Wu An favors will not do this."

Well, it seems that there is no point in talking nonsense and lying, so Chen Ming asked: "How do you want to cooperate?"

"I hope you can send the Supreme Point to me so that I can study its structure and draw a new blueprint."

Upon hearing this request, Chen Ming immediately declined, "You know what I'm doing now, right? The highest point is still very important to me."

At this time, Shao Yang, who was in a research institute of the Fourteenth Army Headquarters, took a look at the data of the improved highest point that he had estimated and displayed on the computer next to him, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes.

He must figure out how Chen Ming's psychic power has further optimized his years of hard work at Tachyon Technology and the highest point that he had optimized after his psychic power awakened.

It just so happened that recently, Chen Ming’s Supreme Point brought back a large amount of data for actual use.

The test results of the institute also show that the Supreme Point-class exploration cruiser does have its value as a new type of exploration ship.

It is also being sold with the joint support of the Psionic Society and the Fourteenth Legion.

He made some money during this period.

So Shao Yang said to Chen Ming: "I can give you another Supreme Point."

"And once I have finished testing your Sovereign here, I will return your improved Sovereign to you."

Such conditions could not help but make Chen Ming excited, but there was one question Chen Ming had to confirm: "How long will it take?"

"About a month."

It is equivalent to Chen Ming renting out the Supreme Point for one month, and then the rent is for a new Supreme Point.

"I have a question..."

Chen Ming had just opened his mouth when Shao Yang said directly: "The Supreme I gave you before was a prototype, which is different from the Supreme that is currently in production. Therefore, it is not possible for my Supreme to drive over there and then drive back after your optimization."

"Okay, I can go there, but I have to wait until the highest point on your side reaches my ship before I can go there."

"As long as your ship arrives on time then I have no problem."

"OK."

Anyway, Chen Ming's ship can make continuous jumps, and it will only take a few tens of minutes for Shao Yang's cruiser to fly back from outside the empire, so it is impossible for it to be late.

After talking about this, Shao Yang continued, "Actually, I have another idea for cooperation."

"you say."

"It's very simple. I will research the results, you will optimize the results, and then we will publish them together, and all the profits will be split 50-50."

"Or another way, I provide you with technology, you are responsible for optimization, and I pay you directly based on the results of your optimization."

Chen Ming ignored Shao Yang's first suggestion.

He has his own pursuits and will not cooperate with others in this way.

But the second idea is a bit more interesting.

Chen Ming asked: "Let me ask you a question. Is the technology you provide your own?"

"Of course not."

Shao Yang said as a matter of course: "I just want to see what kind of changes will occur after a technology is optimized by your psychic energy."

"Especially since you started acquiring equipment to research antimatter technology, this means you have already used your psychic powers on antimatter technology."

"If you can even optimize antimatter technology, then other technologies will definitely not be a problem for you."

"I want to understand your ideas on optimizing psychic energy and try to learn the logic behind it."

Is there such a thing? Chen Ming was somewhat surprised by Shao Yang's idea.

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no problem.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Mastering the idea of ​​optimization may indeed be of great help to your own research.

As the owner of psychic power, Chen Ming himself ignored this point, which is a bit inappropriate.

But it’s not too late now, and Chen Ming has more opportunities than anyone else.

Seeing that Chen Ming did not respond for a while, Shao Yang continued, "You are not a researcher, so you may not feel it."

"But you must understand that your psychic power has advanced to a level that all researchers in the empire can only dream of. The same is true for the products of your psychic power."

“I am no exception as a researcher.”

Chen Ming thought for a moment and corrected himself: "In fact, it is not for the imperial researchers, but for all the people in the empire who want to develop the empire's technology, including various officials."

He was actually very clear about what Shao Yang said, so he did not release the improved antimatter engine technology directly.

Because this would most likely mean that he would never be able to leave the empire again.

This time, Shao Yang didn't seem to think of this. After a while, he reacted and said, "Indeed, it would not be a good thing for you if your spiritual power was exposed."

"But we are all members of the Psychic Society and we all have a good relationship with Mr. Wu An. I won't reveal your psychic power."

"But I still hope you can think about it and contact me if you have any ideas."

Shao Yang didn't say much and hung up the phone before Chen Ming explained that he had not yet joined the Psychic Society.

It's quite straightforward.

It's this straightforward personality...

No wonder his boss said before that he was being marginalized at Tachyon Technology.

If it were in the past, Shao Yang would have continued to be excluded, but since he is a psychic, he has the capital to continue to maintain this character.

Chen Ming didn't care anyway. Shao Yang didn't have any bad attitude towards him. He was just a little straightforward and spoke bluntly. It's not like they couldn't communicate normally.

And if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with what Shao Yang did just now.

He could first explain that he was helping him collect research equipment, and then based on this help, he could ask for cooperation. There was absolutely no problem with that.

It's just that the way I speak is a bit straightforward, so if you meet someone with a bad temper, you might run into a wall, but if you meet someone with a good temper, there will be absolutely no problem.

Chen Ming is considering whether to give the idea of ​​cooperation that Shao Yang mentioned a try.

After all, Shao Yang is now wealthy, and he shouldn't need to spend as much money on further development as he does.

It's always nice to get some money from him.

Chen Ming felt that he could wait until the things that urgently required the use of deep repair psychic energy were almost dealt with before contacting Shao Yang to carry out some deep repair cooperation on a regular basis.

It can be considered as a way to earn some extra money.

Just when Chen Ming made up his mind, Chaofan suddenly sent a message from the Stardust-class ship parked in the next berth.

"In fact, I have always been curious about how your psychic power will be optimized for us Yuhui."

"Forehead……"

Although Chaofan is now researching an optimized antimatter engine on Stardust, he still needs some research equipment from the Supreme Point to assist him.

Chen Ming then gave the control of the highest point to Chaofan.

Therefore, Chaofan heard the conversation between him and Shao Yang just now, and his curiosity was naturally magnified.

To be honest, Chen Ming was also very curious, just because he had been optimizing the technology and helping the Queen Insect optimize the things it made in the past few days.

If the Zerg is optimized, it can directly provide Chen Ming with substantial and tangible benefits.

That’s why Chen Ming has not optimized Yu Hui for the time being.

However, even if Chaofan didn't say it, it was almost time for Chen Ming to optimize Yu Hui.

Although the effect of the optimization is uncertain, it is not negative.

The afterglow at the temporary base must be as strong as possible.

So Chen Ming said, "There will be a chance. Let me try it on other afterglow individuals first."

"Once I have tested it and can guarantee its safety, I will use this psychic power on you Alpha-level Afterglows."
