Upon hearing Bai Quan's news, Chen Ming immediately asked, "Are the two colonies in Lou Wei ready?"

Bai Quan shook his head slightly and said, "There is no definite news yet, but the time seems to be about right."

"Like I just said, it has been almost half a month since the end of the simulation. The final verification should be in the next few days. You may need to go out by then."

"Anyway, I have already made all the necessary preparations. The rest depends on how fast the other side can do things."

"By the way, are you working on those lost research data and other things? Remember to bring them with you when you go back, or give them to the people in charge of testing when you get there."

Chen Ming didn't quite understand why his research data had to be brought along when verifying his psychic powers, so he asked, "We've made preparations, but it's not even 24 days yet, right? So urgent?"

Bai Quan explained: "Because the situation has changed a bit. Lou Wei said that you can't do this for 24 days in the simulation. It's impossible to really give you 24 days to do research."

"After all, you did a lot of things in the simulation, so this is really something to say."

"So the review team reviewed it and decided to start counting your time from the day the simulation ends, until the day Lou Wei takes out the two colonies for you to test."

"After all, the data has not been restored yet, so there is no way to confirm how many days you were active."

"It can be regarded as a disguised way of forcing Lou Wei not to delay, otherwise it will give you more time to do experiments."

"Of course there is a minimum deadline of twelve days, which is a guarantee. It is unlikely that Lou Wei will take out the colony to cheat you the next day."

"So this result is also beneficial to you."

Chen Ming thought carefully about what Bai Quan said, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

He picked up the terminal beside him, glanced at the schedule and said, "That's fine. Just tell me in advance and I'll arrange the time."

Bai Quan nodded, turned around and sorted out today's lesson plan on Chen Ming's computer, and asked Chen Ming: "By the way, how is the synchrotron core I gave you before? Is there any problem? Do you need me to get you some more equipment?"

"No problem, the progress is okay. I don't need the equipment for the time being, but I don't mind if you give it to me."

Chen Ming smiled and said, "Anyway, I have already figured out the general purpose. All that's left is the final summary and finishing the paper. If you want to listen, I can tell you about it now."

Bai Quan stopped working on the computer, raised his head and said to Chen Ming: "Tell me about it, I'm quite interested."

Chen Ming thought about what to say for a moment, then said, "The core of this synchrotron is a device for producing nanorobots. The psychic structure inside it is used to make nanorobots."

“What’s special about it is that it can be adapted to the industrial facility where it is installed.”

"To put it simply, after it is installed, it will put all the nanorobots it manufactures into the production line."

"These nanorobots will synchronize with any industrial production equipment. After about a day of synchronization, the nanorobots will begin to assist in production and speed up overall production efficiency."

Bai Quan basically understood the effect of the synchrotron core just by listening to Chen Ming's description, but he still had a question: "How is this done?"

"First, the synchrotron core can control nanorobots."

"Secondly, there is a device similar to an analytical device inside the core. It can use the nanorobots controlled by the core to analyze the conditions of the production equipment installed in the core."

"Based on the data of the civilization in the core, we will make lightweight modifications to the entire production facility."

"The abilities of these nanorobots are actually somewhat similar to mine. They can change the structure of the production line to a certain extent and optimize the logic of the production line."

“But you need to have a foundation. It’s not like I can just create it out of thin air.”

“That’s probably the effect.”

Chen Ming paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, this thing also has limitations."

"This synchrotron core can only be used in factories where all industrial production steps can be completed in one factory. It cannot be used in factories that require the cooperation of multiple factories to complete the production."

Baiquan asked again: "Why is this?"

"Because of the nanobot residue."

"After the synchrotron core is synchronized, the production efficiency of the factory or industrial facility will be accelerated, and the production line inside will be full of nanorobots."

“Although they are often invisible to the naked eye, nanorobots are there, and there will definitely be a lot of them on the things that are produced.”

“It will not affect the use, but it will affect other factories that carry out secondary processing.”

"Well... I can't say it will have an impact. It's mainly because the nanorobots made by different synchrotron cores will interfere with each other."

"Unless we have the ability to directly remove the nanorobot residues, the nanorobot residues produced by different cores will conflict with each other. Once there are too many residues, they will all accumulate in the secondary processing factory, affecting the quality of the secondary processing."

“So either one factory produces everything, or only one of the several factories has the synchrotron core installed.”

"For example, when building a spaceship, the armor, engine, hull, weapons, etc. of the spaceship all need to be manufactured separately and then sent to the assembly plant."

“It is best to only install the synchrotron core in one of these factories, and it is best to arrange it in a factory with a later process or a longer construction period.”

"One is that the probability of problems is smaller, and the other is that work efficiency is much faster."

Many thoughts about the synchrotron core flashed through Baiquan's mind.

"Then can't the synchrotron core control the nanorobots away from what is produced?"

"It's really not possible, because the remaining nanorobots are all damaged nanorobots. If it were me, I could repair the nanorobots, but for others..."

Chen Ming spread his hands.

"It's quite difficult to completely remove these damaged nanorobots. Anyway, I don't have the ability to clean them up now."

"Anyway, even if there is such a restriction, it's good."

"If I were to do that, I would definitely drop the synchrotron core into a production facility related to antimatter technology, preferably an antimatter fuel production plant."

"Because there is only one production line for the production of antimatter fuel, and what is produced is consumable, there is no problem of secondary use causing cross-interference of nanorobots, so it should be the most suitable."

Bai Quan also nodded and agreed with Chen Ming's opinion, and then asked: "Does it have special effects for psychics like the Purgatory Core?"

"Yes, it is similar to the Infernal Core. It requires a psychic with knowledge in this area to use it."

"Ordinary people can only be responsible for installing the synchrotron core, and then let the core do the rest."

Baiquan suddenly felt a headache after hearing this and said, "Where did such a psychic come from?"

"Then it's not my problem. The empire is so big, who knows where it is. Didn't you find a psychic who knows a little about thermodynamics?"

Bai Quan really had nothing to say. After all, Chen Ming had done everything he should have done. It would be a joke if he couldn't do the rest.

Seeing this, Chen Ming continued to explain to Bai Quan the use of the synchrotron core in the hands of a psychic: "The effect of a psychic using this core personally is that he can use psychic energy to accelerate the manufacturing process of nanorobots and mass-produce nanorobots with higher efficiency."

"We can also actively use the core to control the nanorobots we have manufactured and put them into industrial production, rather than waiting for the core to automatically adapt."

When Bai Quan listened to Chen Ming's words, a hint of disappointment suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Not to Chen Ming, but to the synchrotron core.

Chen Ming also noticed this disappointment and explained, "It does look not as strong as the Purgatory Core, but the psychic effect of the Purgatory Core's entropy control is really a bit outrageous."

"But if we change our thinking and don't compare it to the Infernal Core, a core like this that can continuously supply nanorobots as long as there are materials is still generally acceptable."

"And with the current technology of the Empire, they should have started researching nanorobots, right? At most, there haven't been many results yet."

"It would be worthwhile even if we use this core to accelerate the research of nanorobots."

"Besides, nanorobots are not limited to these two uses. They can be used in many other places."

"This thing is a self-adaptable synchrotron core. It can adapt to all kinds of weird factories, and it can also adapt to all kinds of weird functions."

"As long as it is a function that can be imagined, nanorobots can do it."

Bai Quan's curiosity was aroused again by Chen Ming's words, and he asked, "Can you do anything you can imagine?"

"Yes, like this one."

As Chen Ming spoke, he opened the drawer of the table next to him and took out the synchrotron core that he had casually stuffed into the drawer after finishing his research last night.

"Is that how you put this thing?"

Amid Bai Quan's complaints, Chen Ming's psychic energy fluctuations stimulated the synchrotron accelerator core that he controlled.

Then, the metal liquid that appeared out of nowhere wrapped around the uneven core and was continuously absorbed into the core.

The synchrotron core used the metal liquid that contained all the materials needed to make nanorobots to produce countless nanorobots that completely wrapped Chen Ming's arms.

The appearance of the nanorobot cluster looks somewhat similar to liquid metal, but it appears rougher than the purely smooth liquid metal.

These nanorobots wrapped around Chen Ming's arm quickly formed an arm guard made purely of nanorobots that fit Chen Ming's arm perfectly and had a somewhat bionic appearance.

Chen Ming patted his arm, and it made a solid and dull sound instead of the crisp sound of metal.

"This thing should be called nanorobot power armor, but I prefer to call this a nanosuit."

The number of nanorobots produced by the synchrotron core continued to increase, gradually enveloping him completely.

It constitutes a complete set of nanosuits designed by Chen Ming with reference to many games and movies.

Chen Ming used liquid metal to create a suspended iron block, and then he punched the center of the iron block with such force that even Bai Quan was unable to react.

When his hand moved away, a clear fist mark appeared on the metal block.

This effect is slightly inferior to the Zerg power armor, but the agility brought by the lightweight nano suit is also unmatched by the Zerg armor.

As Bai Quan's eyes changed slightly, Chen Ming then pulled out the revolver hanging at his waist and pointed it at his arm.

The trigger was pulled and a gunshot rang out, but Chen Ming was unharmed.

The bullet didn't even leave a mark on the nanosuit.

Chen Ming put the pistol back into the holster at his waist, and once again created a powerful and highly penetrating electromagnetic javelin in his hand, aimed it at his arm, and pulled the trigger.

After the flash of electric light and the dull sound of hammering, a slight ripple like water waves appeared at the location where the nanosuit was hit, but it quickly disappeared.

Chen Ming shook his hands, causing the nanorobots to separate, revealing his intact arm.

There was a glimmer of interest in Bai Quan's eyes. He stepped forward and held Chen Ming's arm, observing the fault in the center of the nanosuit when the nanorobots separated.

But obviously you can't see anything with the naked eye.

Seeing this, Chen Ming spoke again: "You can see that the nanorobot itself is very strong, and it also has nano-level buffering performance. It is definitely not a problem to use it in combat."

"The synchrotron core has a control center. As long as we figure out how it controls the nanorobots, mass production of nanosuits will not be a problem."

And if it weren't for the fact that the nanorobots and the Zerg didn't get along well, Chen Ming wouldn't have been able to put them together. Otherwise, the An Wuping he just created would definitely have more than just the current technology.

Just at this moment, Chen Ming suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The guard's voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. Chen Ming, what happened?"

Chen Ming immediately said to the outside: "It's okay, I'm doing an experiment."

Although Chen Ming asked the previous security company to withdraw, the security of the entire dome was handed over to the Yuhui core and security robots.

However, the Afterglow Core also has limitations. At least when dealing with things that don't kill people directly, these Afterglow Cores are not very convenient.

Therefore, Chen Ming asked Bai Quan to arrange some guards so that Bai Quan could receive the news from the dome as soon as possible, which would reassure Bai Quan.

After the guards left.

Chen Ming took off the nanosuit, leaving behind a square brick made up of dormant nanorobots.

Then he looked at Baiquan and said, "Do you want to try it? I will give you this set of research materials and other things later."

Seeing Bai Quan shook his head, Chen Ming didn't say anything and stuffed the nanosuit and the synchrotron core back into the drawer.

"If you ask me to build something like a nanorobot, I definitely won't do it, but if you ask me to use it, I will definitely use it."

Chen Ming pointed his index finger at his head and said, "I have many more ways to use nanorobots in my mind."

"Look at those mechanical races. Each of them has nanorobots in its body that can remain active for a long time. These nanorobots are responsible for maintaining and repairing the mechanical race."

"This function can be extended to other things, from the nano suit on my body to the warships in the sky. This thing can be used."

"This nanorobot can definitely be developed into more uses that I haven't even thought of yet."

Baiquan also changed his original idea and said in agreement: "Indeed, this thing seems to be more useful than I thought."

"Of course, it's just that the technology of nanorobots is not that far away in reality, so it gives you this illusion."

"At least until we can really mass produce and control nanorobots like we can in a synchrotron core, synchrotron cores will still be very useful."

"But I'm curious about the number of these things. Are they as many as the Purgatory Cores?"

Bai Quan immediately waved his hand and said, "No, the number of synchrotron cores is quite small."

"It's rare to get it, mainly because I can't figure out the function of this thing, so I'll leave it to you."

"So I guess after your complete report comes out, those synchrotron cores will be sent to antimatter technology-related industries for operation, just as you thought."

Chen Ming nodded slightly and said to Bai Quan: "I am now more and more curious. How many good things did the empire get from the other civilization?"

“There are definitely good things, but a lot of them are like this synchrotron core, and no one can figure out what it’s for. Only you can do this.”

"I will definitely continue to assign you tasks like this in the future. I hope you don't find it troublesome."

Chen Ming immediately responded: "I have no objection."

"Just send me more equipment and a few more samples every time you assign me a mission. If there's only one, it's sometimes difficult for me to do destructive research."

"Okay, next time I'll apply for two for you. As long as you have some results, it's no problem to apply for two more."

Chen Ming was slightly satisfied and said, "The research report on the synchrotron core will be out in about two days. It shouldn't be the same as last time, right?"

"Your military merit hasn't been completely awarded yet, and the first-class merit of a psychic is not the same as the first-class merit of an ordinary person. I said before that I didn't really understand it, and it was only later that I specifically asked about it and learned about the difference."

"It should be the same this time. It is also counted as a first-class merit in the category of psychic."

"It can only be said that the research on this synchrotron core is still insufficient. Only antimatter technology and your previous hyperspace jump can be considered special."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming immediately said, "So you can make up for it for me..."

“Ahem…”

Bai Quan coughed twice, changed the subject and said, "You still have to wait about half a month for your military merit. The approval of military merit is not that fast, at least one month. I also used my connections to help you find out the final grade you will be assigned."

Chen Ming did not dwell on the technology of the hyperspace jump device, and followed Bai Quan's words and asked: "So what kind of reward do psychics get?"

"Anyway, there are only those things, psychic weapons, psychic equipment, psychic medicines, various auxiliary products, psychic plants, psychic animals and so on. In short, anything related to psychic power, you can exchange them for military merits."

"Change, right? I remember you talked about it briefly before, so how exactly do you change it?"

"You can check your contribution points yourself on the psychic census website that you registered on before. There is also a sub-network belonging to the Imperial Army. You can log in with your current identity.

“Why didn’t I know there was such a thing before?”

"Because I forgot to tell you last time."

“…”

Chen Ming picked up the terminal speechlessly and opened the Psychic Census website. He actually found a new web portal in the corner.

After clicking it, Chen Ming subconsciously said, "What a simple webpage."

Bai Quan showed a helpless expression and said, "All government websites are like this. Don't look at whether they are ugly or not, just look at whether they can be used."

"The military merit contribution points of psychics are divided according to the military merit level. It is very simple and crude. Third class is 500, second class is 2000, first class is 5000, and special class is 10000."

Chen Ming's eyes moved across the webpage, and he suddenly said, "I now have 723 contribution points? Where did that come from?"

"You presided over a meeting of the mechanical tribe before, and then demonstrated how to control the mechanical tribe. You also protected the safety of the people present when something went wrong this time. I think you should get extra points for these."

"You can't just get contribution points by doing meritorious service, right? You can get points for doing some things, but I really don't know the details. Anyway, I'll give it to you."

"What a casual military merit system."

Bai Quan also agreed with Chen Ming and said, "The military industry system of psychics is quite casual."

"But the military merits of ordinary people are fixed and arranged. Even if you have opinions, you can only refer to them and follow the rules. It's not like the military merits of psychics, where you have room to choose."

"By the way, this webpage doesn't seem to be very old, maybe only about a year or two."

“So this is just an attempt, maybe it will be better in the future.”

"What about before?"

"It was pretty much the same before, just a little more verbal. We can't really treat psychics unfairly."

"All right."

Chen Ming responded and turned his attention to the web page.

At least there are quite a few things that can be exchanged that interest him.
