Chapter 245 Public Opinion



The boss recognized the nature of this thing at a glance and said, "A spiritual weapon made of psychic biological materials. Was it confiscated?"

"Well, I found that if I carry two psychic weapons at the same time, I will feel uncomfortable. The source is my weapons. I don't know what the situation is, so I came to ask you."

The boss said in a reassuring manner, "This is a conflict of nature of psychic weapons. It's normal. Don't worry."

"Generally speaking, only weapons made of materials with the same or very similar properties can be used together."

"Because when you use a psionic weapon, your own psionic energy will be amplified, and it will also be infected with some of the properties of the psionic weapon material."

"So when you use the second weapon, the different properties of the two psychic weapons will cause your psychic energy to become disordered. That's it. Generally, you only need to prepare one psychic weapon."

"You can use whichever weapon you think is most useful. You should change them in the future."

"This sword doesn't look suitable for you. The one Baiquan gave me is no longer suitable for you now. The material quality is not good enough. You must choose better materials."

"Speaking of which, you haven't gotten any psychic equipment yet, right?"

Chen Ming asked back: "What type of psychic equipment?"

The boss pointed at himself and said, "Just the clothes and armor I'm wearing."

"Indeed, no, but using psychic materials to make something like this? Isn't that too extravagant?"

"I don't think it's a luxury for you, it's just that you didn't expect to do so."

The boss's words were basically a hint, and Chen Ming immediately thought of Yan Xiong again.

“It’s true.”

Chen Ming remembered that all the psychic metal materials made by Yan Xiong would be contaminated with his psychic properties, a property that was somewhat close to "arrogance".

He and Chen Ming don't get along well, and Chen Ming has been a bit busy recently, so he has always left Yan Xiong to Chaofan to deal with and hasn't paid much attention to him.

But now thinking about it, even if Yan Xiong's psychic properties are not compatible with him, it seems that there will be no problem if he just uses it for a while.

He currently only has Yan Xiong who can produce psychic materials of the same nature, so he really can't ask for too much.

Besides, although Yan Xiong only produces psychic metals, and metals are not very convenient for making daily clothing, it is still no problem to make some bulletproof vests. Even more so, Chen Ming can use these materials to make power armor.

The volume of power armor is much larger than that of psychic weapons. Under the same strength of psychic weapons, the size will obviously determine the final increase obtained by the psychic.

Although the manufacturing cost of psychic power armor is definitely higher than that of psychic weapons, the effect will definitely be more exaggerated.

There is indeed nothing wrong with this idea.

Chen Ming felt that he could try making a set of psychic-powered armor for the prosthesis next time the prosthesis needed it.

There is actually some metal material mixed in the biological armor, so you can try it if you have the chance.

Speaking of which, Chen Ming thought of another thing.

Since he can produce a complete set of psychic powered armor made entirely of psychic materials with the same properties, even all metal materials of different types can have the same properties.

Even if this kind of thing isn't very compatible with other psychics, it should still interest a lot of people just by looking at the effects, right?

It just so happened that Chen Ming remembered that Bai Quan had said before that there were indeed people who specialized in collecting things that psychics could use, and put them on the psychics' contribution point platform for others to redeem.

If I take this kind of psychic-powered armor out, it should be able to exchange for a lot of contribution points, right?

Just think about it and you will know which one is more profitable: directly selling raw materials or selling finished products made from raw materials.

Even if there are some complicated processes behind this and it is not possible to directly exchange power armor for contribution points, Chen Ming can also try to trade directly with other psychics.

Use their contribution points to help redeem what he needs.

Anyway, he is now an insider, so there should be no problem in exchanging these things internally.

It’s just that it’s relatively troublesome for other people to wear power armor, unlike him who can just build it directly on his body.

If someone really finds power armor inconvenient, he can also provide ordinary psychic weapons of the same nature as power armor to be used in conjunction with the power armor, so that they will not be completely without combat effectiveness if they cannot wear power armor.

If all else fails, Chen Ming can even modify the design to make the power armor as quick to wear as possible.

Maybe he could even sell this to get the seeds of his spiritual awakening nerves and fairy tree in advance.

Otherwise, he would have to wait at least until the contribution points of the Purgatory Core came in half a month and the contribution points of the Synchrotron Core came in a month and a half before he could exchange for the Awakening Nerve that he really needed.

This should be a good idea, but there is no rush now.

Now Chen Ming just thought about it roughly and did not think about it in depth.

After all, the boss is still chatting with him.

Chen Ming pulled back his scattered thoughts and asked according to his boss's previous meaning: "So what's wrong with the armor made of psychic materials?"

"Nothing serious. Just remember to use materials of the same nature when making different parts of the armor."

"Remember, it cannot be made of materials with different properties. Even the slightest difference is not acceptable."

"This is different from the requirement for you to use two different weapons at the same time. Weapons can still be used if they are slightly off, but armor definitely cannot."

"Don't combine several materials with different psychic properties together, especially don't let them come into contact with the human body, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Chen Ming couldn't suppress his curiosity after hearing this, and asked, "So what will happen if we do this?"

"It's hard to tell you right now. This involves more in-depth aspects related to psychic powers. You will understand it when your psychic powers develop to a certain level in the future."

"OK."

Although he didn't ask what the consequences would be, Chen Ming did take note of his boss's warning.

After all, if he could make the boss so serious, then this consequence would definitely not be what he wanted to see.

After digesting what his boss said for a while, Chen Ming suddenly asked, "If weapons and armor are to be used together, do they also need to have the same properties?"

"Yes, but I think you should be able to meet this condition."

"Indeed, then I have basically no problem with these."

Chen Ming ended the topic he had just brought up and turned to another matter: "Boss, do you have any news about Hu Yi?"

"Hu Yi? You want to cause trouble for him, right? I'll let you know if I have any news."

"Thanks, boss. There's nothing else to do for now."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. If you have any questions, come and ask me."

Chen Ming thanked him again and ended the communication.

Wu An also put down the terminal.

However, Hu Yi beside him didn't quite understand what Wu An had just said, and asked, "Chen Ming is so rich? And he can even equip a full set of psychic armor?"

Wu An looked at Hu Yi strangely, shook his head and said nothing.

"?"

While Hu Yi was confused.

Chen Ming also put down the terminal and thought about how to use his two psychic weapons.

In fact, he can have two weapons, one as the main body and one as the prosthesis, but the gains of the psychic weapons around the prosthesis can also be indirectly absorbed by the main body, so he is now a little unsure whether this is reliable.

It is not clear yet whether there will be conflicts when the prosthesis and the main body are separated and each holds a psychic weapon.

If so, you can only choose one of the two weapons, but if not, then this matter becomes interesting.

However, this idea is a bit metaphysical, and Chen Ming doesn't plan to consider it now.

Now let’s consider the distribution of the two psychic weapons.

He was actually a little inclined to let the prosthesis carry the bone sword. After all, the prosthesis needed to face more dangers.

There is no need to say much about which one to choose between a long sword made of pure psychic material with special properties and a psychic revolver used purely as a buff machine.

But if Chen Ming replaced the weapon of the prosthesis, Bai Quan, who gave him the revolver, would definitely be able to see it.

This is a bit embarrassing for Bai Quan. How about trying to make a replica of the prosthesis?

Just as Chen Ming was thinking about these questions, there was a knock on the door of his room.

Bai Quan pushed the door open and walked in and said, "Okay, I've already spread the news that we were attacked, and I've also arranged for someone to do something."

"The Black Mist Psychic I'm talking about has been killed by you. To avoid any more trouble, you can just question him directly when the time comes."

"By the way, you haven't repaired your spaceship yet, right?"

Chen Ming shook his head.

Because the Black Mist Psychic was coming directly towards him, and his room was at the edge of the spaceship.

Using crew quarters as ship armor has always been a fine tradition of the navy, and the space navy is also the navy.

So in the battle just now, what was damaged were basically the edges of the spacecraft, which did not affect the use of the spacecraft itself, so Chen Ming was not in a hurry to repair it.

And just in time, a new psychic came to the habitable planet behind and was captured by the surveillance camera.

Chen Ming's attention was immediately drawn to that place, and the spaceship naturally remained the same as before.

Bai Quan nodded slightly and said, "That's good. Let's continue as we are now. We need to go to the nearest star system that has spacecraft equipment to do an assessment of the damage."

"Hurry up, it's best to get it within a day, otherwise it seems to cause the psychic energy fluctuations to dissipate, and some evidence will be more difficult to preserve."

"Is there such a place?"

"If a psychic commits a crime and can't find a department to handle it, it won't work. Generally speaking, there is at least one department in each sector."

"I understand, but there is one in each star region?"

"Yes, although the probability of psychics awakening is not high, there are definitely not a few given the current population base of the empire. One in each star region is almost enough."

"You don't see many psychics on a daily basis. One reason is that the empire is so large, and the other is that psychics like to come to the fringe star regions. Aren't prosperous star regions good?"

"You are an exception. After all, you awakened in the fringe star region, and your psychic powers also require you to stay in such a place."

"Wu An is also an exception. His situation... is more complicated."

Bai Quan looked like he didn't want to say more, so Chen Ming didn't ask any more questions.

He had actually asked his boss before why he came to such a place, but the boss seemed unwilling to say more.

There must be some story behind this, and Baiquan was also involved.

Since neither party wants to say anything, Chen Ming will definitely not take the initiative to cause trouble.

"Where are the coordinates of the place you mentioned?"

Bai Quan opened the terminal and pointed to a location on the star map for Chen Ming and said, "Here.

Chen Ming glanced at the star map and asked, "Military region?"

"Of course it's the military district. It doesn't matter. I've already informed them in advance. Just go there directly."

"OK."

Chen Ming didn't waste any time. After confirming the coordinates, he directly started the Stardust-class jump engine.

One minute later, the Stardust class appeared in the destination galaxy.

However, just arriving was useless, so Chen Ming continued to stay here for a few hours to assess the damage.

It was not until Baiquan got a damage assessment report that he was finally able to repair the Stardust class and set off for his destination again.

He originally wanted to jump over directly, but Baiquan stopped him.

Bai Quan must have a reason for doing this, so Chen Ming didn't say anything and continued to let Stardust fly slowly in the hyperspace channel.

Time came to the next morning.

Chen Ming had just finished washing up when he found Bai Quan already sitting on the sofa next to the repaired classroom, looking at the report that he would deliver without fail even when he was away from home.

When Bai Quan noticed Chen Ming coming over, he immediately handed him a copy of the report.

When Chen Ming saw the contents of the report, he immediately understood why Bai Quan did not let him jump over directly yesterday.

The content of the report is clear and concise.

The main impact is the attack they suffered yesterday.

After all, it was originally a secret operation for Chen Ming and Bai Quan to set out at this time to submit research materials and verify with Lou Wei whether Chen Ming has the ability to control the colony.

But now that an accident has happened, Bai Quan naturally made the matter public.

They also sent the officially certified damage report and most of the video footage of the entire incident directly to the supervisory department at the headquarters and asked them to intervene.

The reason is that Lou Wei is believed to have done something again to obstruct Chen Ming's verification of the colonial capabilities.

At the same time, Bai Quan also used a little trick to have someone secretly release the damage assessment report and some videos that would not expose the effects of Chen Ming's psychic powers, to help the outside world confirm that this was not fake news.

Then based on today's report, public opinion outside was of course outraged.

No wonder Old Wu contacted him urgently last night to ask him some questions, and the factory director also called him to ask him how the situation was.

Although this news involved a real psychic displaying psychic powers, ordinary people did not learn too many details through public opinion.

Just like the previous gambling agreement incident, most people only had a basic understanding of Baiquan based on the previous negative public opinion about Baiquan, and then had an understanding of the gambling agreement after the public opinion about Baiquan reversed. Not many people outside knew the specific content of the gambling.

But this was enough, because among those attacked by Zuo Jing this time, Bai Quan was a lieutenant general.

Zuo Jing, attack, lieutenant general.

When these three key words are put together, the matter cannot be small.

Although the news to the outside world said that Zuo Jing was quickly dealt with, there were no casualties except for Zuo Jing, and the death toll of Zuo Jing exceeded 300, and the fleet was completely destroyed.

However, the fact that a small group of the Zuojing Fleet launched a suicide attack on a military warship on a mission was a slap in the face of the 14th Legion.

Although the entire 14th Legion was being slapped in the face outside.

But within the 14th Legion, it is absolutely impossible that Bai Quan would be hit in the face.

The reason lies in what Bai Quan had said to Chen Ming before.

Only the two of them and the people on Lou Wei's side knew their entire movements after they came out.

It is impossible for Baiquan, an ordinary person, to risk his life to provoke a psychic.

Many people also know that Chen Ming and Zuo Jing have a grudge against each other. Zuo Jing is eager to kill Chen Ming, and it is even more impossible for Chen Ming to do such a thing as inviting a wolf into the house under such circumstances.

So who was the person who leaked the information about Chen Mingbaiquan's whereabouts? I believe many people have the answer.

Of course, there are also voices of doubt.

Some people also said that Chen Ming was afraid that he would have to go to the colony for actual testing, so he deliberately directed and acted in this scene.

But it was not directed or acted by himself. You can tell by watching the video released by Baiquan.

Those who are capable can naturally watch all the videos.

Of course, you can understand that Chen Ming is really fighting for life and death.

And since Bai Quan dared to report the matter directly to the supervisory department, it was impossible that Bai Quan did it himself.

When all these factors came together, the situation instantly became one-sided.

With just two documents and a video, they forced Lou Wei to issue a statement overnight, saying that it was definitely not them who did it and that they would definitely cooperate with the investigation to find out who leaked the information and caused the problem.

Lou Wei and the others took the initiative to admit defeat, but it seemed like they were also kicking the ball back in disguise.

That’s about it for yesterday. What happens next will depend on today’s situation.

Bai Quan's intention of not allowing Chen Ming to directly jump to the destination yesterday was definitely to let things continue to ferment for a few days. If this matter is not handled well in one day, the pressure from all sides will definitely become greater day by day.

Who is the most anxious now? It's definitely not Chen Ming and Bai Quan.

After fully understanding the situation, Chen Ming asked Bai Quan beside him: "So how should we deal with this matter later?"

“We don’t have to deal with it.”

Baiquan said as if the matter was over: "The trouble of assassinating the lieutenant general and the psychic is on the other side. It is the other side who has to consider how to deal with it, but who dares to deal with such a matter privately?"

"Don't forget that the previous matter has not been completely settled yet. With these two things coming together, this is no longer something that can be solved by letting them check on their own."

"Someone from the headquarters will come over to deal with this matter soon, so we don't have to worry about it."

"It's such a big pot, a lot of people will have to be taken out for investigation, we just have to watch."

"oh."

Chen Ming nodded and asked, "Then how will they respond?"

"How they respond is up to them, but if it were me, I would not do anything about it. I would just fully cooperate with the investigation and hand over the people who should be handed over."

"I have been involved in Zuo Jing's affairs twice in a row, and one of them was directly related to my life. Anyone who wants to touch it will definitely suffer a bloody head."

Chen Ming probably understood the reason after what happened before. This is the rule within the system.

But there was still one thing he hadn't figured out: "In fact, I still don't understand why they wanted to assassinate us."

Bai Quan asked back, "Who said they wanted to assassinate us? They have been around for so many years, how could they not know the rules?"

"There are definitely people who just want to cause trouble for us, disgust us, and frame us for not keeping secrets well, so they leaked our information to some people."

"If they only attracted ordinary left-handed creatures, it would be fine for them, because such left-handed creatures would pose no threat to us at all, but they could still disgust us."

"The Zuo Jing must have dealt with them on the spot. Even if we didn't deal with them, the Zuo Jing would definitely rush up and deal with them themselves, leaving no Zuo Jing behind."

"Then they can argue with us about who leaked the information, which is quite troublesome."

"But in the end, I'm afraid they didn't expect that the person they attracted in the end would be a psychic from Zuojing, so this is a big problem."

"It's not too difficult to find out who leaked the information. There are only a few people who may know about it, and each of them is related to the person above them."

"So I estimate that this matter will have a result within three days, just wait and see."

“The result should not disappoint.”

Bai Quan threw away the terminal in his hand and was about to get up to prepare today's lesson plan, but suddenly sat down again and said to Chen Ming: "By the way, although we were delayed on the way, we should be almost there tomorrow night."

"It's the place responsible for testing your research data. We need to meet with Lou Wei before handing over the data. I'll talk to them then."

"OK."

"Also, Lou Wei's punishment result came out yesterday. It's not in that report. I'll just tell you now."

"Lou Wei was punished for three violations of discipline within our Fourteenth Corps."

"One violation was illegally obtaining administrator privileges on a simulated device. Another violation was illegally using administrator privileges to terminate an official, recorded, public battle. Another violation was destroying your research data."

"The three violations plus the Zuo Jing incident that broke out later led to him being severely punished and demoted two levels directly."

"He was sentenced to six months of compulsory labor and his monthly salary was reduced."

Chen Ming basically didn't listen to what he said afterwards. After all, the penalties of salary and compulsory labor were not severe. The main thing was the punishment of being demoted by two levels.

He remembered that Lou Wei seemed to be a major general before. If he lowered his rank by two levels, Lou Wei seemed to be a colonel now.

Although Lou Wei did not end up going to jail, being demoted from a general to a colonel might have been worse than going to jail.

This even means that Lou Wei is now on the same level as him.

Chen Ming is not yet a member of the 14th Corps, but a temporary tactical instructor hired from outside, enjoying the same treatment as a colonel.

Lou Wei has fallen to the same level as him, which makes him happy no matter how he looks at it.
