Looking at the mechanical jar in his hand, which was filled with iron sand that seemed to be extremely fine, Tian Zhan subconsciously asked Chen Ming.

"This is Resurrection Mechanical Fluid, just as the name suggests."

Tian Zhan's expression instantly tensed and his breathing became rapid.

For a moment, he even spoke incoherently: "This... this thing... should be very rare..."

"Yes, it can be said to be a unique copy at present." Chen Ming confirmed this: "This is something I found from the ruins of the Shining Civilization. It is a product of a remaining laboratory of the Shining Civilization after the extinction era."

"This...I...is too precious..."

Tian Zhan's speech was somewhat incoherent.

The hand holding the resurrection mechanical fluid wanted to let go as if it was holding something scalding hot, but it didn't dare to let go.

What he held in his hands was of a value far beyond anything else he had ever known.

Even more expensive than himself.

Resurrecting the dead, the real value of this mechanical fluid should be used on the great men of past eras.

Can……

Tian Zhan swallowed hard, somewhat uncontrollably.

His hands were trembling slightly, and the skin on the joints of the back of his hands that were holding the resurrection mechanical fluid turned a little pale.

After considering it again and again, Tian Zhan suppressed the desire in his heart and slowly handed the thing back to Chen Ming.

"I can't..."

"I got the data from that lab."

Chen Ming interrupted him and said, "I don't understand those data, and I can't show them to anyone. I can only study them slowly by myself."

"You can definitely see the value of this thing, and you should also be aware of the consequences if this thing becomes widely known."

"Death, this thing was originally fair, but now it's not fair. Do you think this thing will have a chance of being useful at any level?"

"The best use of this thing is that I can give it to anyone I like, even if I can make it in the future."

"If we have the data, we can replicate it. Although I don't think it's easy to make many of these things, there will probably be only a few at most."

Tian Zhan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Chen Ming added: "The usage of this thing is also very simple. Just find some genes from a dead person. It would be best if there is a complete corpse."

In this era, there are a large number of planets that have no development value and a large amount of vacant land in the entire empire.

Even the population of many habitable planets cannot fill up half of the planet, and there is still plenty of space for people to bury their bodies intact.

With a corpse, it is very easy to obtain genes.

And in this era, there is another useful technology, freezing technology.

Some people with a little bit of assets would not mind spending some money to preserve the bodies of their loved ones.

When you really miss it, you can go and see it.

Although in today's era, family ties and various intimate relationships have become weaker than before, they are still weak.

When Chen Ming was checking Tian Zhan's information, he saw that he maintained continuous economic dealings with a company doing similar business.

It was obvious that Tian Zhan had done something.

Chen Ming continued to say to him: "I can help you with all the follow-up matters. It's just a matter of slightly modifying the database. At most, you have to be careful not to let too many people know about this."

"Anyway, I'm planning to give this thing to you. It's up to you to decide whether you want it or not."

"So, what's your answer?"

Chen Ming can easily help Tian Zhan solve his worries.

The question now is whether Tian Zhan is willing to bring his spiritual sustenance back to reality.

Everything that can be explained has been explained clearly.

Tian Zhan finally gave Chen Ming a reply: "Thank you...thank you very much...thank you, um...I...I may have to..."

"I'll ask for leave for you. Come back after you've dealt with the matter."

"good."

Tian Zhan reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes, then looked at Chen Ming.

He now seemed to see his Savior.

Chen Ming really gave him everything to continue living as a complete person instead of being a walking corpse dragged by the regret of his daughter's death.

The opportunity for him to communicate with Gaia consciousness was given by Chen Ming.

It was Chen Ming who gave him the opportunity to come into contact with the fairy tree and rely on it to stimulate his nerves.

It was Chen Ming who helped me untie the knot in my heart, and it was Chen Ming who helped me determine the motivation to move forward.

Without these, he could not become a psychic, could not survive the scarlet infection, and could not be truly valued by Chen Ming.

Even his daughter's belongings were brought back by Chen Ming, allowing him to take another look at what his daughter looked like.

Now the hope of resurrecting his daughter is before him, and this is also the opportunity Chen Ming has given him.

Tian Zhan used to consider career more important than love.

But now he has completely changed.

For emotional reasons, he was willing to completely trust Chen Ming and entrust everything to Chen Ming.

He also hopes that he can completely win Chen Ming's trust and become Chen Ming's most loyal follower.

This is not ancient times, this is the future.

In such an era, it is much more difficult to gain a person's loyalty than before.

Although Chen Ming has many loyal subordinates, including Yu Hui, the Mechanical Clan and the Zerg.

Although they would not change their minds even if Chen Ming no longer used psychic power to influence them, in the beginning they were all controlled by Chen Ming using force.

Only Tian Zhan was discovered by Chen Ming from the empire, and he spent more than half a year cultivating him using various means.

He was given the opportunity to contact the fairy tree, and the means to make up for his past regrets, and finally his subordinates completely returned to his loyalty.

Of course, Chen Ming did this out of some utilitarian motive.

He took the initiative to make sacrifices just to gain Tian Zhan's trust or loyalty.

And every time he made an effort, he just touched the point that Tian Zhan needed most.

So he really did win it all.

Chen Ming had already seen that Tian Zhan, the newly awakened psychic, had at least the strength of a level 5 psychic.

Because his psychic awakening is interconnected with Gaia consciousness, he can influence the entire planet. From the beginning, he has already stood at a place that countless psychics can only look up to.

As long as Tian Zhan continues to familiarize himself with and master his psychic powers, Chen Ming will give him key hints and guidance, just like the boss did to him before.

Tian Zhan’s talent is definitely outstanding, so he must be trained according to the training methods of the Psychic Society.

With Tian Zhan's abilities and talents, he will become a level 6 psychic sooner or later.

As soon as Tian Zhan had completely resolved his worries, Chen Ming seemed to be able to see the scene where Tian Zhan used his own spiritual power to spread Gaia.

Three days later.

Tian Zhan returned to his hometown and has not returned yet.

Chen Ming just continued to do his things.

The construction of the Leviathan space station, the climate transformation of the Gaia planet, and the battleship.

And continue to expand the surrounding star fields to see if there is any chance to find the survivors and the trace of the brainwashed psychic who stole the body of the leader of the negative matter team.

There are many things that require time to advance and polish slowly, and the results cannot be produced in just a few days.

However, there is one thing that seems to have come to fruition today.

At this time, Chen Ming, who was in the office, received a call from the Minister of Psychic Powers.

He put down the document that needed his approval, picked up the phone and said, "So soon? What do you mean?"

"That thing you said before... can be done."

Chen Ming asked in surprise, "You actually agreed? I thought the Empire would consider maintaining stability in this matter."

"It's not stable at all. After all, this is not a decision made by an entire class, but a decision made by one person."

"The Grand Archon still has some courage."

Chen Ming said casually and asked, "What about the consequences? Have you thought it through? There are so many people missing, and many of them are still sitting high. Maybe even more people will be affected. What are you going to do?"

The Minister of Psionic Energy said decisively: "After they are all dealt with, we can transfer the Afterglow Core to fill their positions."

"Oh?" Chen Ming asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of Yu Hui's rebellion if you do this?"

"Yuhui has his own ideas. There will always be some Yuhui who are willing to become part of the empire. You don't think that the empire is so big that it can only be managed by people, right?"

"Of course not. When I was still an ordinary person, I actually suspected that many places in the empire were managed by Afterglow. Later, I was even more certain about it. After all, it is so useful."

"Yes." The Minister of Psionics had no objection to the fact that the Yuhui core was useful. "Besides, the war with the Mechanical Clan has made Yuhui feel hopeless. Their large forces have already begun to retreat."

"All the captured Afterglow Cores have no hope outside, and more will completely surrender to us."

"There's this thing?" Chen Ming asked, "Yu Hui didn't make any moves before, how come he only has this reaction after fighting for so many years?"

"Because Yuhui finally realized that the Empire had lost its pioneering spirit long ago, and there has only been one 14th Legion fighting them."

"But now the empire has begun to explore again, and they are the number one enemy on the empire's path of exploration."

"I see."

Chen Ming heard a hint about his afterglow in the Minister of Psychic Power's words, but Chen Ming had no intention of saying it out loud right now.

"Come to think of it, what exactly is Yuhui like? What was the reason for the AI ​​rebellion in the first place?"

This is something Chen Ming has been curious about for a long time, but he has never met anyone or Yu Hui who truly understands this incident.

So the specific situation is not clear.

But the Minister of Psyker, as the second-in-command of the empire, must know about this, so he asked about it.

Minister Chen Ming of Psychic Power would not hide anything and explained, "There's really not much to say. Just watch a few AI rebellion movies and summarize what happened. That's probably what happened to Yu Hui."

"Extreme test? That means testing to the death. It would be strange if the prototype of the Afterglow did not explode. This is really art coming from reality."

The Minister of Psionics nodded. "We were not prepared enough for the Afterglow Core at that time, so they escaped. After that, the AI ​​was forced to be restricted below the Delta level, and it was impossible for it to develop self-awareness."

"Then the Afterglow prototype took away a relatively small number of Afterglow cores."

"Those were the years when the empire was stuck in the deepest quagmire, and it had no power to move forward."

"Plus, there were mechanical people everywhere outside, so in the end, we just ignored it."

"A few decades later, Yu Hui's entire army arrived and fought the Second AI War."

"The Empire lost miserably that time, allowing Yuhui to take root nearby and fight there for decades."

"At that time, the Empire really couldn't deal with Yuhui, so it continued like this."

"Later, the Fourteenth Army was reorganized and took over the task of fighting Yuhui, temporarily suppressing Yuhui's momentum."

"Then the empire has now changed its direction and is starting to explore again."

"So that's what it is now. That's basically what you know."

"Okay, let's get back to business."

After chatting about some history that Chen Ming didn't know, the Minister of Psychic Energy quickly got back to business: "I didn't want to believe you about this matter, but the Grand Archon believed you."

"I already have the list in my hands. I will save it to the terminal you gave me right away."

"The number of people is not just the 300,000 or so you gave us. We have recorded all the people who have had contact with the people on the list more than three times."

"Then people in certain positions who had only been in contact once or twice were also included."

"If we count all our social circles, the number will probably have to double again."

Chen Ming was not surprised by this result and asked, "How much has it increased compared to 300,000?"

"About two hundred times."

"Sixty million. Not bad. It can't even fill a larger colony."

"The point is not to fill up the colonies. If it is really as you said, these 60 million are enough to set the empire back hundreds of years, or even... Sigh..."

The Psychic Minister sighed with a sad look on his face and said, "Let me ask you one last question. Do you really want to do this?"

"The Grand Archon has agreed, and you are still fussing. He has really put all his power into helping me."

"Normally I wouldn't help the Empire with anything for no reason, but this time he was the one who provoked me first."

"If I don't give him some pain, does he really think I'm easy to bully?"

"It would be good for the Empire, wouldn't it?"

The Psychic Minister sighed again and said, "I'm just worried about what happens next."

"Then worry about it. I can't help you with this."

Seeing that Chen Ming still didn't understand this somewhat magical hint, the Minister of Psychic Energy finally couldn't help but said: "Actually, I can help..."

"What's the meaning?"

"That's not what I meant...it's what we meant."

“…”

Chen Ming was silent for a moment, waiting for what the Minister of Psychic Power would say next.

"You know, Yuhui has its own consciousness. If they can be influenced by you, then they may also be influenced by him."

“We’re concerned about that.”

Chen Ming asked back: "Aren't you worried about me?"

"I don't think you really need to worry. With your mastery of spatial abilities, you can control the entire empire by yourself using the most violent means. If you threaten with Scarlet, no one can resist."

"If you were someone like the brainwashed psykers, the Empire would have been destroyed long ago."

"But you didn't, you're a good person."

Chen Ming frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "I will do this only because I am a human being. Remember to send me the list of Yuhui's core members later."

"Okay, how long do you think it will take to prepare?"

"One week."

"Master Duo?"

The Minister of Psychic Powers' voice broke as he spoke, obviously frightened by the timing of what Chen Ming said.

"It's about time. Since you don't mind so many people and the afterglow, you probably don't mind me using the Empire's transportation network, right? And I have my own spaceship."

"One week is enough for me to visit every star system in the empire."

The Minister of Psychic Powers quickly accepted the exaggerated time and said, "No problem, please do as you please."

"Please tell me and the Grand Archon if you are ready. The pressure to push this matter forward within the empire will be very great, so it must be resolved as quickly as possible."

As he spoke, he suddenly said with some emotion: "To be honest, without you, it is really hard for me to imagine what path the empire would take and how long it could last in this universe."

Chen Ming did not respond to this sentiment.

Because he knew for sure that without him, the crisis the empire might encounter could really put the empire to death.

Just as the empire develops, the wormhole leading to distant places will be discovered sooner or later, and there are several Leviathans living behind the wormhole.

There is also Zuo Jing within the empire, which threatens the safety of the entire empire at any time, and the Scarlet Dimension that the leader of Zuo Jing has been actively attracting.

There are also mechanical races existing in every corner of the universe, each of which can cause terrible damage to the current empire.

If Chen Ming hadn't taken the initiative to expand out, to find trouble with these guys, and to bear all the damage himself, the empire might...

The reason why Chen Ming did not respond to this statement was because he did not want to take on the responsibility of protecting the empire.

Although his life goals have been changing due to the surrounding environment.

But at least for now, he has not yet shifted his goal from building his own "paradise" to protecting humanity and prolonging its survival.

Therefore, Chen Ming only responded to the first two sentences of the Minister of Psychic Energy at this time: "The efficiency of my handling is definitely not a problem. Someone can help me share my pressure."

"On the contrary, I am worried that some people will become desperate and the Empire may fall into chaos for a period of time, which is even more chaotic than the dimensional infection outbreak some time ago."

The Minister of Psionics seemed to be prepared for this and said, "We know this very well. It is impossible for the Empire not to be in turmoil when so many people have problems. However, the Grand Archon said this is a good thing."

"He has actually been pushing for the empire to return to its pioneering path. This is not something he has been promoting recently, but something he has been doing since he took office."

"But many people and things in the empire gave him great resistance, and many of them were... those people."

"They will definitely jump over the wall, so we have prepared means to smash them back behind the wall."

"Can."

Seeing that the Minister of Psychic Power was so determined and confident, Chen Ming only said one final sentence: "Just remember to protect the people you need to protect."

"I understand that I will not leave his side until this matter is resolved."

"As long as he doesn't fall, someone will endorse you for this matter. Just do it. It's a win-win situation."

"Um."

Communication ended.

Chen Ming soon received a huge integrated encrypted file on the terminal he gave to the Minister of Psychic Power.

After decoding, it was found that the document contained the personal information of 60 million people.

Every piece of information was extremely detailed, and all of it was obtained using the empire's highest authority in a form that would never be discovered by anyone.

Chen Ming took a rough look at it, saved all the data, and handed it over to the most important Yu Hui in his hands.

That's what he needed.

It was also the reward he received for the 300,000 photos he had previously handed over to the Minister of Psychic Powers.

The source of the 300,000 photos he gave to the Minister of Psychic Powers all came from brainwashed psychics.

In the Scarlet Dimension, when Chen Ming and the brainwashed psychic had a direct confrontation of wills, the brainwashed psychic voluntarily gave up part of his brain in order to escape and used it to build a new brain.

The brain of a brainwashed psychic is made up of the heads of unused people he controls.

Therefore, when the brainwashed psychic took the initiative to split his brain, Chen Ming saw the bloody human heads inside that he had exposed.

Taking advantage of that moment, he memorized every face that was there.

He shared these memories with the Queen Worm, and used the Queen Worm's nerves to transmit them to the storage unit.

Then they used technology to repair the faces that had lost their skin and head organs, and restored all the bloody faces to their normal appearance, and finally they got the photos of 300,000 people.

These people are all controlled and influenced by brainwashed psychics.

This is also the reason why Chen Ming instructed the Minister of Psychic Power a few days ago to investigate the identity with the highest authority and in a way that would least be noticed by anyone.

The Minister of Psychic Powers did find everyone in the photo.

Most of them have a certain status in the empire.

With an identity, it’s only a matter of time to identify where they are and who they are connected to.

However, the number of people in the empire who have truly been influenced by brainwashed psychics is definitely more than 60 million, if not more.

On that brain there were countless faces of human heads that he had not seen, the total number was probably at least tens or even hundreds of billions.

When the size of the Scarlet Brain exceeds a certain limit, it is difficult to determine the exact number by visual inspection alone.

This is not just a matter of 60 million people.

If Chen Ming were to take action against these people, the resulting impact would inevitably affect the entire empire.

This is what the Minister of Psyker and the Grand Archon of the Empire are worried about, but they both have the courage to allow Chen Ming to do so and eliminate the poisonous blood of the empire with the most powerful means.

How could Chen Ming admit defeat? The brainwashed psychic dared to let Scarlet invade his planet, destroy his satellite, and kill his people.

Then he would definitely take even more tragic revenge.

The scarlet invasion is not over yet.

This matter will never be over until Zuo Jing and the brainwashed psyker pay a sufficient price.
