He was the one who provoked me for no reason in the first place, so he deserved to end up like this.
Chen Ming sat back in his seat and watched the driver drive the shuttle to the vicinity of the Stardust level shortly afterwards.
This place is now densely occupied by government and military spacecraft, and you can see that a large number of people are still busy here.
It will probably be busy for a few more days.
After all, Chen Ming's psychic power can only catch those who have left clear evidence related to Zuo Jing. Those Zuo Jing elements who have left no evidence can still hide among the crowd.
It was impossible for Chen Ming to guarantee that all the people who continued to stay in his new residential area had no relationship with Zuo Jing.
Therefore, the government and the military still need to rely on the testimony of others and some relevant evidence to find out these left paths.
Up to now, the number of people related to Zuo Jing in the colony has reached nearly 70,000, which is thousands more than a few hours ago, and the number is still rising, with a trend of rising to 80,000.
It was better for the people who had no connection with Zuo Jing, as they were all notified and knew that such a large-scale operation was targeting elements related to Zuo Jing.
So usually they hide in the new house to get familiar with the new environment and wait for this matter to be over.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see how serious this matter was. The entire colony's communication signals were blocked, and the metal liquids were definitely related to the rumored psychics.
Being the first to stand out at a time like this is simply courting death.
But it's different for those who are really involved with Zuo Jing. Many of the originally hidden Zuo Jing members are worried about their identities being exposed and want to do something in the end, such as holding others hostage, causing destruction and chaos, etc.
Of course, Chen Ming had anticipated this happening before, so all these left-wing elements were immediately arrested by the robots controlled by Yu Hui that he had arranged, without any omissions.
Because the entire colony is now under Chen Ming's control, there are not many people who dare to go out at this time, so it is easy to mark these people.
If these people show any abnormal behavior, the robots controlled by the Afterglow Core will immediately descend from the sky on a shuttle.
Even if there are lucky enough left-wing elements who are not caught in the first place, and they really take hostages, they want to continue to cause trouble.
The afterglow core here can also notify Chen Ming, allowing Chen Ming to directly use psychic power to solve these problems.
In front of a psychic, hostages are meaningless.
All the left-wing elements exposed in the new residential areas were eventually handed over to the government and the army.
At the same time, Chen Ming also opened up some of the colonial rights to them and gave them an interface to connect with Yu Hui, who was in charge of public security here.
After he leaves here, it will be the government and the military's responsibility to deal with Zuo Jing.
Of course, most of these powers will be taken back later, and Chen Ming does not need the protection of the local military.
The safety of the colony must rest entirely in his own hands.
Next, as long as his mental strength is almost restored, he will go to another heavy industrial colony in the same galaxy, where there are more colonies and left-path elements waiting for him to deal with.
But before leaving, he had to meet with the government troops and hand over some things to them.
After the shuttle landed near the Stardust class.
Before the shuttle came to a complete stop, Chen Ming jumped down.
Several responsible persons who had met Chen Ming before immediately noticed Chen Ming and rushed over.
All of their faces were flushed and they greeted Chen Ming excitedly.
Chen Ming nodded and then stretched out his hand. Three data chips appeared in his palm again, storing all the evidence related to the left-handed elements that Huihuang had sorted out.
The representatives who had already received a piece of evidence looked at Chen Ming's palm eagerly, because this thing determined their future performance.
Chen Ming handed over the three chips and said, "Remember to keep them. If you accidentally lose them, I still have them. You can ask me for them anytime."
These were the basis for Chen Ming's arrest of colonial personnel.
With these, those arrested can be sent to where they should go in a reasonable and legal manner.
prison.
Or hell.
Dig out the rotten flesh of this lifeless colony so that new flesh can begin to grow again.
Everyone was very satisfied.
The government could see a revival of activity in a colony under their jurisdiction and earn some credit for their security services.
The army could see that a large number of Zuo Jing were killed within the empire, and take away some of the Zuo Jing elements as military merit.
Chen Ming even got rid of a large number of garbage people that he didn't need at all.
A win-win-win situation.
The military chief carefully took the chips and placed them in a special storage container.
"Thank you for your help."
"Well, I have to go to the heavy industrial colony next door later. I have to do similar things there. I will trouble you then."
"Of course, of course."
You can never have too much performance.
Moreover, this not only really eliminated a large number of left-wing elements, but they could also freely publicize in their propaganda that left-wing elements in areas where there were a large number of left-wing elements had been arrested.
Cracking down on Zuo Jing in public opinion is what the empire has always done, and they are naturally happy to see this happen.
After saying goodbye to Chen Ming, several responsible persons dispersed and continued to work on their own matters.
They also had to assign the tasks at hand as quickly as possible, so that they could continue to follow Chen Ming's footsteps to another colony.
The locals were very clear about the situation in the two colonies. If the number of left-handers in one colony was so exaggerated, then the other one would definitely not be much better.
Chen Ming looked at the busy crowd around him with a slightly satisfied smile on his face.
Just when he had seen enough and was about to turn back to the shuttle.
Baiquan came over at some point and said to him, "It seems that you have a talent for managing a colony."
“I learned it all.”
"Where did you learn that?"
"Afterglow, the Machine Clan, and the Empire."
Bai Quan shrugged, assuming that Chen Ming didn't want to talk anymore.
He also stared at the people from several local departments who were busy working nearby for a while, and suddenly said to Chen Ming: "In the previous simulation, the time interval between the first colonization and the second colonization was six hours, so we can go there six hours later, or we can go there now and wait for six hours."
"Let's stay here. A habitable planet is much more comfortable than an uninhabitable planet. Besides, I can help deal with the left-path for a while. I don't want any left-path elements to stay in my colony."
"Then I'll go to Stardust first. I have work to do."
"good."
Bai Quan patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and turned to leave.
At this time, another person not far behind Chen Ming asked Chen Ming: "Don't you want to calm down and recover your mental strength? If you continue to help here, won't you run out of mental strength for the next colony?"
Chen Ming turned his head and saw that it was He Gu who asked the question, and he also left the shuttle.
He asked this question now probably because he had just heard the conversation between Baiquan and himself.
Chen Ming shook his head slightly and responded: "No, as long as I recover faster than I consume it, it's fine. There are not many left channels left now, and the consumption is not much either. Six hours is enough to recover."
"A genius is a genius. Do you have time to chat now?"
He Gu came to Chen Ming, praised Chen Ming, and extended an invitation again.
Bai Quan didn't say anything. He just nodded to Chen Ming and left, leaving it to Chen Ming to make his own decision.
Since this matter had been confirmed before, Chen Ming gave a quick reply this time.
"OK."
There was no one around, so He Gu just started talking about what he wanted to say to Chen Ming.
However, unlike what Chen Ming thought, He Gu really just chatted with him about some simple things, mainly discussing Chen Ming's Purgatory core technology.
I would like to ask Chen Ming about the specific practicality of this technology and its possibility of being put into practice by non-professional thermodynamics researchers.
Only at the last moment did he invite Chen Ming to visit the Psychic Research Institute when he had time to come to the headquarters in the future.
It was not a test on Chen Ming, but just a chat about some technical matters related to psychic powers.
Since he spoke very appropriately and politely, Chen Ming did not refuse.
We’ll talk about it when we have the chance.
Anyway, he guessed that many people would not dare to let him run around, especially in a place like the Psychic Research Institute.
I don’t know how He Gu will deal with this matter at that time.
After He Gu left Chen Ming, six hours had passed.
Chen Ming's mental strength recovered again.
After notifying several people involved in the gambling agreement, Chen Ming boarded the Stardust class and headed for another heavy industrial colony.
The heavy industrial colonies also have left paths, and they must be connected with the left paths in the light industrial colonies.
However, Chen Ming had already decided to take action against Zuo Jing on both planets, so he had asked Bai Quan to talk to the people in the local departments and intensify the blockade of planetary communications.
Of course, Chen Ming did not rely on them for everything. He also used some means to block the communications of the entire colony.
Just open a back door for people from several local departments.
Anyway, with Lieutenant General Baiquan standing by his side, whatever Chen Ming does will be fine as long as he has a reasonable reason.
So now, when Chen Ming rushed to the heavy industrial colony, it was not too long since Zuojing in the light industrial colony was completely occupied.
Everything in the entire heavy industrial colony was very "normal", or at least it was still functioning as normal as usual, which was almost the same as not functioning at all.
But at least Zuo Jing has not discovered that there is a problem on the neighboring planet. Chen Ming still has time to take over this colony and these Zuo Jing elements without any accidents.
The Stardust class soon reached the surface of the planet.
Compared with the industrial areas on habitable planets, there are obviously fewer pollutant collection devices here.
After all, it is not a habitable planet, so there is no need to deliberately protect the environment if it is not necessary.
Moreover, the level of development here is not high compared to the colonies that I have seen in the simulation. After all, the simulation time was five years ago, and this place has been stagnant for more than ten years.
Ten years of stagnation means that the level of automation in this place is not high, so it is not as simple as in the simulation that only a small number of people are needed to work here.
We still need some manpower here.
Therefore, outside this large industrial area, there are a small number of residential areas that are kept at a certain distance from the industrial area, which are used to accommodate people who work here.
On uninhabitable planets, living areas are usually located under domes, and this place is no exception.
The dome limits the area where people can move, which in turn makes it easier for Chen Ming to do next.
He only had to replicate what he had done in the light industrial colonies.
The Stardust class landed shortly afterwards in a dome far away from any living domes.
This is to prevent some left-wing elements from seeing this special cruiser and thinking of the lost left-wing elements in the light industrial colonies, and starting a riot in advance.
Then Chen Ming chose to take the shuttle directly to land near the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower in the industrial zone.
Since there had been problems with the warehouses in the light industrial colony, Major General Song had immediately sent people to check the warehouses in the heavy industrial colony.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of materials here. It would be quite troublesome to steal things from the warehouse on a non-habitable planet.
Now that Chen Ming has come to the warehouse, he can smoothly start his work in the heavy industrial colony.
Shortly after Chen Ming officially started, the spacecrafts of several department heads also arrived on the planet.
With them around, Chen Ming wouldn't have to worry too much about what happened next.
Three hours later.
The entire heavy industrial colony was completely rejuvenated.
The Earth's Core Furnace Power Tower, which was also damaged by the left-diameter molecules, also began to operate normally.
The entire industrial zone has also undergone tremendous changes compared to before, from producing civilian spacecraft hulls to producing fuel.
The domes further out have all been completely demolished and razed to the ground.
All the indigenous people, whether they were from the left path or not, were stuffed into cryogenic hibernation chambers and forced into hibernation.
Also through the evidence compiled by Huihuang, Chen Ming handed over all those people who were confirmed to be related to Zuo Jing to the government and the army in advance.
As for the remaining people whose problems have not yet been found, they were transported to the colonies on habitable planets by a Colossus-class cargo ship that Chen Ming temporarily transferred from outside.
This Colossus-class ship was what Chen Ming had obtained from Yu Hui before. Although it seemed that he had found out from the military that this Colossus-class ship was once captured by Yu Hui in a battle.
But since the ship is in Chen Ming's hands, it is impossible to pursue this matter any further.
So they just notified Bai Quan and asked Bai Quan to tell Chen Ming to change the identification code.
The incident with the Colossus-class cruiser freighter was just a minor incident.
For Chen Ming, relatively speaking, the more important ones are those people who have no clear evidence to prove that they are related to Zuo Jing, and who have been locked up in cryogenic hibernation chambers by Chen Ming after joint inspections by the government and the military have confirmed that their identities are correct.
They will arrive at the light industrial colony soon, wake up directly from the hibernation chamber, collect their belongings in the dome residential area of the heavy industrial colony, and go to the new residential area of the colony.
To be honest, this method is a bit excessive. If this matter were to be spread out at any time, it would be condemned.
It's not just verbal criticism, this matter is actually illegal.
But now it is different. There are a large number of left-handed creatures in these two colonies, and special cases are treated specially.
Moreover, the person who holds the highest position in the entire galaxy now is Bai Quan. With Bai Quan endorsing Chen Ming, naturally no one will say anything.
The government and the military knew about this but chose to acquiesce. After all, it had great benefits for them.
And those ordinary people who were forcibly sent away by Chen Ming.
I can only say the same thing as before.
As long as the new conditions provided by Chen Ming are better than the previous ones, even if the means are a bit coercive, they will just curse and let it go.
The small, backward and dilapidated environment under the dome of the heavy industrial colony contrasts with the new residential area on this habitable planet.
Most people should not have any follow-up problems.
So Chen Ming felt relieved to send all the people over there and completely completed the last step of work in the heavy industrial colony, which was the installation of the afterglow core.
When the entire colony was fully operational again, Chen Ming's mission was completed.
The test of whether his psychic powers could control the colony ended here.
Chen Ming returned to the shuttle boat carrying Major General Song and others, preparing to sign the final agreement on the certification results of the gambling agreement.
Once this document is signed, the matter ends there.
And because He Gu accompanied the whole process, no one could question it.
Otherwise, it would not only be questioning Chen Ming, but also questioning the Institute of Psychic Energy.
Lou Wei also signed with trembling hands, mumbling something.
Chen Ming ignored him and picked up the terminal to notify several companies that had cooperated with Chen Ming and had been waiting at the edge of the galaxy for a long time.
Allow their spacecraft to travel to the two colonies that now belong to Chen Ming.
With Yuhui in management, most of the industrial facilities of light industry and all the industrial facilities of heavy industry can start operation directly.
The only ones that couldn't be put into operation directly were the plastic production lines in the light industrial colonies that Chen Ming had specially sent out to work for others.
We should wait two or three days until the government and the army have almost finished investigating the left-wing elements before we can start.
After sending a few messages, Chen Ming closed the terminal with satisfaction.
I found that Lou Wei was still muttering something in the corner of the shuttle.
Chen Ming was actually a psychic with keen perception, and he could hear clearly what Lou Wei was muttering after a little effort.
But the moment he heard it clearly, his expression changed drastically.
He immediately looked at He Gu, who was also on the shuttle and had the same keen senses.
Faxian He Gu's expression was almost the same as his, both looked as if they had seen a ghost.
The two of them immediately understood each other's meaning, and tacitly did not express anything, continuing to pretend that nothing had happened.
Because what Lou Wei was muttering at this moment was exactly the teachings of Zuo Jing that Chen Ming had heard several times.
Chen Ming immediately put his hands behind his back and quietly released a little metal liquid that flowed to Lou Wei's side. He created a recording device and began to record Lou Wei's mumbling.
To be honest, Chen Ming is very confused now, because although Lou Wei has a hostile relationship with him, Lou Wei does not look like someone who would believe in Zuo Jing.
Otherwise, logically speaking, Lou Wei should have been exposed when the supervisory department came down before. If he really believed in Zuo Jing, he would not be able to hide it unless his belief reached an extremely deep level.
Although Lou Wei was a problematic person for Chen Ming, everything was normal for their faction. They performed their duties conscientiously and even personally went out to fight against Bai Quan.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like she has anything to do with Zuo Jing.
It couldn't be that the supervisory department had handled the matter, and then Lou Wei lost his temper and believed Zuo Jing, right?
Chen Ming couldn't say, but he couldn't think of any other explanation that could reasonably explain what Lou Wei was doing now.
Moreover, it is impossible for him to expose Lou Wei directly now, otherwise Chen Ming would even have thought of an excuse for Lou Wei.
Lou Wei just read those things related to Zuo Jing, and suddenly said a few words when he thought of it.
So he didn't even look at Lou Wei, who was lowering his head in the corner, as if nothing in the outside world could disturb him.
He just kept signaling Baiquan next to him with his eyes.
Soon, Bai Quan also noticed Lou Wei's abnormality. He also tacitly did not show any reaction and just observed secretly.
Gradually, everyone else on the shuttle also noticed that the atmosphere inside the shuttle became strange.
The entire shuttle fell completely silent without anyone noticing.
It was so quiet that the only sound was Lou Wei muttering Zuo Jing's teachings.
At this moment, everyone heard clearly what Lou Wei was saying.
Confused and wary eyes were locked on Lou Wei almost at the same time.
Lou Wei suddenly raised his head, his voice was hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Why are you looking at me?"
His eyes were scary, and he seemed to be on the verge of insanity.
Chen Ming had only seen this kind of look on the faces of left-wing elements who were about to self-destruct with explosives.
Chen Ming took out the recording device and repeated what Lou Wei had just said, saying, "Explain it."
It was as if a string in Lou Wei's brain broke and his expression twisted.
Chen Ming immediately prepared the metal liquid and restrained him if he showed any abnormal behavior.
But in just a few seconds, although Lou Wei seemed to have not changed much, he gave people the feeling that he was no longer a human being, but a monster who believed in a twisted doctrine.
The bloodshot in his eyes became more and more serious, and there were even some red marks on his face, as if blood vessels had been broken.
Even Chen Ming felt a slight tingling sensation on his scalp. Although he did not feel any danger, his vigilance had reached its peak.
"Bang!!"
Suddenly, Lou Wei's whole body exploded, shattering into a handful of blood mist and fragments, spraying all over the shuttle.
