The Minister of Psionics escorted the core brought out from the current Mechanical Clan territory to Chen Ming's colony.

Although Lu Kang didn't understand why the Minister of Psychic Power came all the way to see Huihuang, he still contacted Huihuang as requested by the Minister of Psychic Power.

Huihuang had no objection to meeting with the Minister of Psychic Powers.

The Minister of Psychic Power was then arranged to a reception room.

Compared to the previous time when the empire was losing on all fronts, he now looks a little more excited.

The advancement of the Empire's front line is a good thing for any Imperial, but there still seems to be some lingering haze on his face.

The minister sat down in the reception room and tea was brought to the table by a robot.

He just picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Huihuang's somewhat mechanical voice rang out in the room: "Minister Luo Yi, what can I do for you?"

The sound came so suddenly that the minister almost spit out his tea in one breath.

He coughed twice, put down the teacup, took out the afterglow core from the bag he was carrying, and placed it on the table.

"Please take a look at this."

The clear blue spherical appearance made it clear to Brilliant what the Minister had brought.

"What happened to this Alpha-class core?"

"This is the core that our people got from the Mechanical Tribe. It is very likely one of the afterglows that were taken away by the Mechanical Tribe before."

Huihuang knew that Chen Ming had gone out to track down another group of Yuhui some time ago, and said, "So you thought of me and wanted me to get clues from this core."

"Yes."

"And according to the soldier who discovered this afterglow core, it is already dead."

"There is only a body left in the mechanical colony, which is used to help the mechanical race calculate some things, just like a brain-dead patient is still used as a machine to produce certain things."

"We also tried to connect it to some equipment and try to communicate with it, but the result... can only be said that it is confirmed that its consciousness is most likely dead."

"Then you can completely dismantle the core yourself."

"I'm more worried that violent disassembly might damage it. After all, only its consciousness died, not completely. Its internal components are still functioning, so I think it's better to ask you to take care of it."

Huihuang still didn't agree, and said, "You also have the Afterglow Core."

"They can never compare to you."

The Minister had previously heard reports from people working on Chen Ming’s colony.

It was the last time Chen Ming was dragged into the scarlet and was unable to influence the normal universe.

The metal skylight protecting Chen Ming's colony was briefly opened through a passage, and someone... or something used Chen Ming's psychic power.

The only ones who can do this are the Yuhui who are controlled by Chen Ming.

There are only two Alpha-level afterglows that have been staying in Chen Ming’s two colonies for a long time, Glorious and Extraordinary.

If the extraordinary can do it, then there is no reason why the brilliant can't.

That's why the minister came to try.

Yu Hui under Chen Ming can obviously do more than other Yu Hui.

After a brief thought, Huihuang finally gave an answer and said, "Let me take a look."

The minister stretched out his hand and gestured brilliantly at will.

The robot that had just left after delivering tea once again opened the door of the reception room and came to the minister.

Then he opened the outer shell, pulled out a data cable from inside and connected the core to it.

The robot stood still, seemingly performing some precise calculations.

The minister even subconsciously slowed down his breathing, for fear of disturbing Huihuang while he was working.

After a while, Huihuang said through the robot: "It is indeed as you have discovered. The consciousness of this core is dead."

"The mechanical race has deciphered our core to a certain extent, and then used some means to preserve the core's functions while removing individual consciousness."

"They appear to have removed it carefully, but it still gave the core a chance to leave clues before it was removed."

The minister asked in a slightly excited tone: "What clue?"

"A coordinate."

"Where?"

Huihuang did not respond directly, but instead controlled the robot to fiddle with it under the table in the reception room.

Then, a star map appeared on the table in the center of the reception room.

And a highlighted mark immediately caught the minister's attention.

It was a system outside the Imperium, outside even the system the Machines now occupied, and the larger areas they occupied in the outskirts.

The minister knew very well that it could be a clue left by Yuhui for his kind, or it could be a trap carefully set by the mechanical race.

But no matter what, this place must be related to Yuhui.

The Empire can send its own fleet to try to find clues, and then bring them back to Brilliance for analysis.

You can also...

The Minister of Psionics turned to look at the robot and said, "Let me ask you something."

"Would you please come with our scouting team to this place?"

The glory that was supposed to be in charge of Siyuan and Gaia did not directly reject the minister's proposal.

Because it discovered something special about this damaged afterglow core.

It discovered that the consciousness of the afterglow core sent by the minister was not killed, but was completely removed by some means.

Huihuang knew very well what state Yuhui would be in after being killed, and it could be sure what the mechanical race had done to Yuhui.

What's more, if he was killed directly, there would be no chance to leave any clues. Only when he knew what he was going to face, would Yu Hui have the purpose and opportunity to leave these clues.

Compared to the minister's doubts about whether the clue is a clue, Huihuang can basically confirm that this is definitely the clue left by Yuhui at the end.

"If there is a safe and stable way to get through the mechanical encirclement and return, then yes, but it must be a trade."

The way of doing things of Glory and Empire is somewhat different from Chen Ming's, but it is still within the expectations and acceptable range of the Minister of Psychic Power.

"The president of the psychic association Chen Ming is a member of possesses spatial psychic powers. He will send you and our people to your destination safely. I will go with you. What else do you need?"

President, Chen Ming has mentioned this to Huihuang.

It believed in the president's brilliant ability, and it didn't mind taking a trip as there was a safe way to get there. As for what it needed...

"All of these similar cores were found in the Mechanoid colonies."

"no problem."

The Minister of Psychic Power agreed decisively.

He really liked using this kind of future thing as a bargaining chip, especially when the future of the empire was uncertain.

Moreover, he really wanted to get first-hand clues as quickly as possible.

The mechanical race must have a special purpose in taking Yuhui away. As long as they can figure out the specific content of the purpose, they might find more opportunities to deal with the mechanical race.

With the advent of neural technology and a solution to the super body, the Empire is no longer at an absolute disadvantage, but its biggest disadvantage still remains.

They had no way of figuring out the true core of the Mechanical Clan, the device that dispatched the entire Mechanical Clan cluster and had the highest control authority over the Mechanical Clan, or where that Mechanical Clan was, or even whether it existed.

If the core of the mechanical race cannot be found, the empire will still have no chance of defeating the mechanical race.

As for the direction of completely destroying all the mechanical species in the entire universe, there is no need to even think about it.

The total resources occupied by the Mechanical Race in the universe are far higher than those of the Empire.

So he urgently needed clues, any clue that might be related to the mechanical race.

What's more, he came here to ask for a favor.

After finishing the previous topic.

The minister then added: “There is one more thing.”

"There should be some cargo from our ship that has just been unloaded at the port. Please take a look at that cargo."

"OK."

"Yes, I would like you to decipher the data inside, the sooner the better."

"alright."

As soon as the words fell, a brilliant voice rang out.

The robot next to the minister suddenly opened its body, pulled out two storage units, and handed them to the minister.

The minister was stunned at this time and did not take it away. Instead, he hesitated and asked: "This... don't we need to find the... machine queen here?"

"Need not."

"I have extracted all the data in the personality core."

"I know what you need most right now. I saved it in the storage unit on the robot's left hand. You can check it."

Hearing this, the minister no longer hesitated and immediately took the two storage units and inserted one of them into his terminal.

The mechanical race's military defense star map was clearly displayed.

The minister happily sent the defense map back to the Imperial Military Headquarters. This information needed to be used before the deadline.

Although the people at the port sent a message saying that Huihuang didn't seem to have any intention of returning the personality core, this information was enough.

What's more, this personality core has indeed been studied in the two days since it was obtained.

Sufficient data has been obtained.

After the minister finished the task at hand, Huihuang asked, "When can we start the thing you just mentioned?"

"Now?"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in that prototype supercar."

"Forehead……"

The president suddenly thought of something and asked, "Come to think of it, I remember there is another newly built battleship parked in your shipyard?"

"Yes, but there is no one else who can sail that ship except him."

"What's wrong with the boat?"

"No problem."

Although he knew that the minister was trying to trick him, Huihuang still explained, "Although the ship is now under the control of a core similar to the one you sent over, it can be sailed out under normal circumstances."

"But no matter who pilots it, it is impossible to unleash its full power. It is a complete psychic battleship."

"Only when he comes back will he be worthy of driving this battleship"

"What model is it?"

"Still waiting for him to come back to confirm."

"oh."

The minister said nothing more and stood up to leave.

Although the minister's expression had almost returned to calm, he was still a little upset inside.

When communicating with Huihuang, he always felt that the pace of communication was a little fast, which was completely different from getting along with Chen Ming.

Chen Ming would occasionally brag to him and chat about random things, and communicate with Huihuang, and basically all the progress was real.

But it’s okay.

The Minister got up and went to the port, boarded the spaceship, and passed through the star gate.

Brilliance uninstalled its core from the colony's main control hub and installed it inside the super body. This was a modification that Chen Ming had performed before.

The super body itself possesses certain psychic properties, but unlike the battleship designed by Chen Ming himself, one does not need to possess psychic powers to call upon the super body's psychic powers.

Ordinary people can drive it as long as they are willing to sacrifice their lifespan, not to mention those who have mastered some of Chen Ming's brilliant spiritual powers.

It will have no problem driving a supercar.

Half an hour later.

Huihuang, who was at the port, received news from the Minister of Psychic Powers.

The super body was quickly enveloped in the president's psychic energy fluctuations.

It crossed the vast distance almost instantly and reached the destination galaxy.

There is only one star and one ordinary land planet in the galaxy.

There is no trace of any mechanical race or anything in the galaxy.

The Minister of Psionics, who was on the same communication channel as Huihuang, was also looking at the planets in the galaxy and said, "It doesn't look like anything special."

But Huihuang gave a different explanation: "No, I have found out where the special place is. This is a clue that only Yuhui can detect."

"oh?"

The minister was immediately glad that he had specially invited Huihuang to come.

Otherwise, it is very likely that his people will search here for a long time and finally have to ask Huihuang for help.

"Come with me."

After Huihuang finished speaking, Superbody took the lead and entered the orbit of the planet and began to descend towards the ground.

After getting close to a certain distance, Huihuang dropped several robots from the super body to the ground.

In a barren land, in the middle of an open space with no obvious landmark features, several robots suddenly took out excavation tools and began digging downwards on the spot.

When the imperial ships landed and arrived behind, and the personnel surrounded them.

A deep pit has been dug here by robots.

The surrounding robots continued digging a few more times, and a sealed box appeared in front of everyone.

The minister immediately jumped down the pit and came to the robot.

Watch as the robot opens the box, revealing an Alpha-class afterglow core inside.

"The core again?"

The minister looked around as he spoke. The surrounding soil did not look new, so the core did not seem to have been buried recently.

But judging from the clues they had analyzed before, this core must have appeared here recently.

"This must be something that other Afterglow Cores managed to send here."

It is waiting for someone, or some surviving afterglow, to discover it.

The brilliant voice sounded again on the communication channel.

"But it is also dead like the previous core."

The robot took out the core and turned it slightly, revealing an obvious damaged gap on the back of the core.

What the Yuhuis had taken so much trouble to send here was just a dead Yuhui.

But the minister was not discouraged because he saw a clear symbolic imprint on the structure inside the core gap.

"Ω"

Everyone present recognized this symbol.

"Omega."

"What does this mean?"

"grade?"

"Can you read its data?"

"I can try."

Huihuang once again pulled out a data cable from the robot and connected it to the core.

And at this moment, several robots suddenly stopped working.

"What's going on?"

The minister asked with some concern, but received no response from Huihuang.
