The voice of Baiquan's psychic friend came from the other end of the phone: "Is this simulation really reliable?"

"Of course it's not reliable, so it's just an estimate."

"Chen Ming came from a psychic society. You know their rules. Chen Ming is unwilling to accept any tests now, so we can only use this method first."

The psychic friend said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "If it were you, I would just quietly test him while he's in deep consciousness. Many people are looking forward to Chen Ming being tested someday. Why would you do so much trouble if you just do this?"

Baiquan decisively rejected this idea: "No, I don't want to turn a good friend into an enemy."

"Whatever, I just mentioned it casually."

Baiquan didn't dwell on this point and said, "Let me ask you something. For you psychics, is there anything good that can help restore your mental power or directly improve your mental power?"

"A good thing that has both of these functions? Let me think about it."

"Spirit stones with the 'spiritual' attribute, special psychic creatures, ship spirits, and psychic weapons are also fine. Oh, and I heard there's something called condensed psychic essence, which seems to work too."

"Well... there are also various devices found in the remains of the psychics of that civilization, and the unique psychic weapons they left behind. That's about it. What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"It's okay, I'm just asking."

"I don't believe it. I guess you suspect Chen Ming has something similar."

"You know it, but you're still asking."

Baiquan said as he put on his helmet.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, we have to go in quickly and don't keep anyone waiting."

"I know, I know."

When Baiquan just lay down in the equipment.

Chen Ming has completed deep consciousness immersion, and his body can still function normally.

This is good news. At least Chen Ming will not be unable to move on both sides because of the partial consciousness in the prosthesis.

But this put him in a very strange state.

The part of consciousness in the prosthesis was indeed accelerated, but at the same time, this part of consciousness also caused some changes in the main consciousness of Chen Ming's original body, which also accelerated the thinking speed of Chen Ming's original body.

The prosthesis's thinking acceleration rate allows things that would take a month to be solved in just a dozen hours.

The acceleration efficiency of the thinking speed obtained by the main body is about 10%, that is to say, Chen Ming's main body's thinking speed was accelerated by nearly five times in just a few tens of seconds.

One day can be used as five days.

Of course, Chen Ming’s current thinking speed has been accelerated several times with the assistance of the two hive thinking networks of the mechanical race and the Zerg race.

Therefore, the combined effects of these two have made Chen Ming's thinking speed reach an exaggerated level.

Wait, Chen Ming suddenly understood why the acceleration efficiency of the main body was only 10%.

It’s because of these two hive minds.

The prosthesis over there only has part of Chen Ming's consciousness.

It is equivalent to an independent sub-consciousness that is controlled by Chen Ming and affected by the thinking speed of Chen Ming himself.

In addition to Chen Ming's own main consciousness, the main body here also has the consciousness of the Zerg and the mechanical race, providing amplification of the main body's thinking.

Therefore, it is also accelerated by the feedback from the prosthesis, so the overall acceleration efficiency is of course low.

Now let’s look at the situation from the beginning.

It is probably the mechanical race and the Zerg race that provide the main body with the blessing of thinking speed.

The original body provides the partial consciousness on the prosthesis with the same thinking speed as the original body.

Then the prosthesis's thinking speed is fed back to the original body.

Because of the existence of two hive minds, the main body's acceleration could not continue to increase, so it only reached about five times the original amount.

The bonus and feedback of the prosthesis itself did not superimpose on each other, so things like stepping on the left foot and flying into the sky did not happen, which ultimately led to the current situation.

It seems that after it’s over, Chen Ming will have to ask the Queen Insect if she feels her thinking is accelerated.

Let’s see whether the Zerg and the Mechanical race are purely a burden in this regard, or whether they have taken away some of the blessings that Chen Ming should have.

If a part of it was taken away, it would seem to be of great benefit to the Queen's future development.

Moreover, this situation has little impact on Chen Ming himself.

After all, the prosthesis's thinking acceleration is real, and the prosthesis can still do many things at a terrifying thinking speed.

Chen Ming quickly understood what happened after the prosthesis entered deep consciousness.

At the same time, after adapting to the accelerated thinking for a while, he quickly got used to it.

However, this simulation device still left a very deep impression on Chen Ming. After all, the rate of thinking acceleration was a bit exaggerated.

He hadn't noticed the existence of such a thing in the simulation equipment before.

It seems that I have to go back and study this technology that may involve the brain and nerves.

Chen Ming actually has something similar on hand.

I got it from Yuhui, the neural overclocker.

It has the ability to stimulate brain nerves, increase nerve activity and accelerate thinking within a certain period of time after use.

When Yu Hui first encountered this device, his file said it was a relic of another civilization.

But I didn't expect that the Empire has already created this kind of thing in the simulation equipment based on this technology.

However, it is hard to say which of the two is more suitable for Chen Ming.

After all, Chen Ming only needs to spend ten minutes a day using the neural overclocking device, and then Chen Ming's nerves will be activated for the whole day, ensuring that this effect will be maintained while Chen Ming is awake.

And this thought acceleration device seems to have some limitations.

The first and most obvious thing is that you have to lie on top of this device.

And although such equipment exists, Chen Ming has not seen any place in the empire where it is used on a large scale.

Either it's a cost issue or the device just can't be used for long periods of time.

If Chen Ming wants to get one, it would be fine if the problem is the former, but if it is the latter, it would be better to use this thing less.

He had to figure this out.

Of course he doesn't have time to do these things now.

When Chen Ming completely completed the deep consciousness immersion, he found that he was in a dark virtual space.

There were some figures standing nearby.

Including him, there were ten people in total, divided into five and five groups, standing here facing each other, and Cheng Xinghai stood opposite him.

When she saw Chen Ming, she showed a sly smile on her face, stretched out her hand to Chen Ming and said, "You're finally here, we can start now."

Chen Ming looked at Cheng Xinghai's hand, then looked around and saw the other eight people standing face to face shaking hands with each other as a sign of friendship.

Chen Ming also shook it.

However, his attention was not on Cheng Xinghai at all, but on the other eight people present.

He didn't know any of the seven people, and the only one he knew was Cheng Xinghe, who happened to be standing in the same row as him.

But Chen Ming didn't take any action.

He would not remember for too long the past that had already ended, and he felt that Cheng Xinghe's current behavior was really unnecessary.

But he couldn't care what happened to other people, so Chen Ming didn't say anything and continued to observe them.

These people all looked very young, the oldest of them was only in his early twenties, a few years younger than Chen Ming.

However, they did not look like young people just starting out, but rather looked more like the backbone of a force.

I don’t know why, except for him and the siblings Cheng Xinghe and Cheng Xinghai, the remaining seven people all had very serious expressions on their faces.

It looked like they were not going to a simulated battlefield, but a real battlefield.

But it was not appropriate for Chen Ming to ask at this point in time.

Because after the two sides met and shook hands, the friendly pre-war exchanges ended.

The figures of Cheng Xinghai and the other four people standing in front of Chen Ming gradually disappeared.

Only four people who belonged to the same camp as Chen Ming were still by his side.

And from this moment on.

Chen Ming discovered that there were two more times in the upper right corner of his vision.

In an outside world with standard earth time, time passes slowly, which is caused by the acceleration of thinking.

The other is a countdown time within the simulation that is the same as the normal time in perception, with a total length of exactly half an hour after a month.

One month is the deadline for the next simulated war, and half an hour should be the last preparation time now.

At the same time, a special terminal appeared in Chen Ming's hand.

It seems to allow participants on the same team to communicate directly with each other.

After confirming their own situations, the five people present looked at each other.

Except for Chen Ming, the other four people seemed to know each other.

So except for Cheng Xinghe, the other three people's eyes quickly locked on Chen Ming.

One of them suddenly took a small step towards Chen Ming and said to him, "Hello Chen Ming, I'm Song Pu, a senior student majoring in military command at the Military University directly under the 14th Army Corps."

"Hello."

Chen Ming nodded in response and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Song Pu did not answer the question directly, but asked: "I heard from Cheng Xinghai that this is your first time to participate in such a large-scale simulated battle, is that true?"

"right."

Chen Ming did not deny it.

"Then let me give you a brief introduction."

"We are now conducting a large-scale simulated battle with the star field as the background."

"Because the capabilities required in large-scale warfare are so wide-ranging, multiple people are required to carry them out."

“We need to work together and accomplish the goals set by the background to achieve victory.”

Although Chen Ming had already learned the general situation from Bai Quan before, if Song Pu said it again, Chen Ming would definitely not deny him face.

So he simply pretended to understand nothing and said, "I understand, but I heard that the background of this mission is a civil war, divided into two camps: government forces and rebels. So are we the government forces or the rebels?"

Before Song Pu could answer, someone next to him said, "We need to confirm this after we actually go in."

Song Pu nodded to the young man who was wearing square-framed glasses and looked a little fat, then turned back to Chen Ming and said, "That's it."

Chen Ming glanced at the little fat man and asked, "It seems like you have cooperated before?"

"Yes, we have participated in similar simulated battles together before."

"How about this, let's get to know each other first so it's easier to call each other."

"After we fully enter the simulation, we can follow our previous habit and call each other by code names, how about that?"

Chen Ming certainly would not refuse this and said, "I have no objection."

Song Pu patted his chest and said, "I, Song Pu, codenamed Commander, am good at overall dispatch and command of large-scale battlefields."

Then he pointed to the little fat man with glasses who had just spoken and said, "This is Dong Miao. He is in the same grade as me in school, but he majors in logistics. He is good at dispatching logistics materials and integrating logistics routes to ensure the supply of materials to the front-line troops."

Song Pu then turned his gaze to the man who had been silent and looked very strong and said, "This Hong Guanghong's code name is Engineer. He majored in military theory at the Military Industry University. He is good at the planning and scheduling of military projects. He is responsible for the planning of the military industry and the layout of various military facilities."

Finally, he pointed at Cheng Xinghe and said, "This is Cheng Xinghe, codenamed General, good at battlefield command. It seems you have known each other before?"

Cheng Xinghe nodded imperceptibly, still looking a little evasive towards Chen Ming.

However, Mingquan had already responded before, paid the compensation he deserved, and apologized solemnly.

But Cheng Xinghe seemed unable to let go of this matter, and he didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, Bai Quan, who had just laid down in the equipment and had not yet had time to fully enter deep consciousness, suddenly felt a little itchy in his nose, but the feeling soon disappeared.

Bai Quan didn't care and continued to immerse his consciousness in the device.

Chen Ming naturally couldn't imagine how much Cheng Xinghe had suffered after he came back.

He just thought about the most appropriate way for him to act in the current situation, and chose to come to Cheng Xinghe and extend his hand to him.

Cheng Xinghe hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously.

"Feel sorry."

"So our previous conflicts end here?"

"Yes, thank you."

Cheng Xinghe nodded to Chen Ming and put away his previous expression.

Baiquan's punishment on him had actually ended when he completed the tasks assigned to him by Baiquan.

The main reason why he has been like this is that he has been worried about Chen Ming's attitude.

He is Bai Quan's junior, and Chen Ming has grown from being able to tie with him to being able to be on par with Bai Quan in just a few months.

This made Cheng Xinghe feel indescribable disappointment and worry.

However, after actually meeting Chen Ming and Chen Ming showing a normal attitude.

Cheng Xinghe also realized that his worries were unnecessary and it would not be a good idea to continue.

So since Chen Ming gave him a suitable step, he just walked down it.

Moreover, the words that Bai Quan had conveyed to Cheng Xinghai during the day were still ringing in his ears.

If he was reported to the school by Baiquan because of his poor performance on the battlefield, it would be embarrassing even if he was a senior in college and was doing an internship to participate in the war.

So now he has to put aside all the past and devote himself completely to the upcoming simulated war.

It would be a good thing for him if he could let it go completely instead of just temporarily.
