The effect of mind pulse is excellent for ordinary people.

Everyone in the room instantly fell down, covering their heads, even the two patrol members.

Chen Ming immediately drew his gun, climbed out from behind the cover, and approached the military man who was lying crookedly on the ground.

Old Wu knew from the beginning that Chen Ming had been tinkering with something on the workbench, so when he saw the military personnel suddenly fall down without any warning, he quickly caught up with Chen Ming.

The factory manager was stunned for a moment without any reaction, and only followed after being reminded by Old Wu.

Chen Ming took the lead in checking the fallen military personnel.

Check whether they have the willpower as strong as the guard at the exhibition hall before, who could stand up after withstanding the mental pulse.

The factory director and Old Wu moved the two patrol team members who had fainted into the workshop and treated their injuries briefly.

Chen Ming also confirmed that all the military personnel were unconscious and none of them still had consciousness.

All I can say is that he once again experienced the power of mental pulse.

Although the scope of application of mind pulses on a cosmic scale is limited.

And the types of materials that need to be repaired after each use are very complex.

In addition, Chen Ming had previously estimated that the effective range was only about 500 meters in diameter.

There are various shortcomings.

But it is precisely in the place where he is now that the actual effect of the mind pulse is extremely exaggerated.

It can only be said that psychic power is the best means for Chen Ming, a person without combat ability, to deal with threats from close range.

An ability to reverse a predicament instantly. Even if the mind wave generator still has shortcomings that Chen Ming has not discovered, as long as it still has such an effect and has no fatal flaws, it would not be excessive for Chen Ming to invest more in it.

After confirming that the military personnel would not wake up in a short period of time.

Chen Ming went back to the workshop and found some ropes on the shelves that contained almost everything in the workshop.

The people outside are already unconscious and have no ability to resist, so there is no need to kill them directly.

Instead, it would be better to disarm these people first, tie them up, and then interrogate them.

It’s just that Chen Ming had just tied up a few people.

Suddenly, from the other side of the second underground floor, there was a sound of metal twisting and tearing.

Chen Ming immediately became alert and rushed to the corner of the corridor outside the workshop.

Use the terminal's photo-taking function to lean out and observe the environment.

At this time, the smoke on the second underground floor had not yet completely dissipated.

Chen Ming could only barely see a heavy powered armor tearing open the blocked door on the safe passage.

In an environment where only the emergency lights were on, with a full sense of oppression, it quickly approached the workshop like a rampaging tank.

"Heavy power armor? Be careful."

Chen Ming reminded the factory manager and Old Wu behind him, and put his hand on the mind wave generator again, ready to press it at any time.

However, after noticing what Chen Ming saw, the factory manager immediately put his hand on Chen Ming's arm.

"We are one of our own. We are safe."

The factory manager took the initiative to speak, then waved to the other end of the corridor, put away his weapon, took off his helmet and walked out.

"It's me, Lu Shengsi."

Chen Ming tightened the gun in his hand slightly.

It was not until the man in heavy power armor stopped and made a fake gesture to the guard behind him who did not know the identity of the factory director that everyone let down their guard.

Chen Ming then relaxed and put the pistol back into the holster.

The man in heavy power armor approached again and asked the director, "What's the situation?"

When Chen Ming heard this familiar voice, he recalled that he had heard this voice before when he was in a meeting with the factory director.

This muscular man wearing the central power armor is the director of the Space Station Administration.

Chen Ming was a little surprised. He had thought that the director would be a greasy and grumpy middle-aged man, but he didn't expect the actual difference to be so big.

However, he quickly threw away the original image in his mind and memorized the image of this heavy power armor.

Although he was not interested in what kind of person the director was, the power armor the director was wearing was completely different.

In Chen Ming's opinion, psychic power is his best means of dealing with close-range threats, so a set of powerful heavy-duty power armor is definitely the second best means.

If you can get a set, then Chen Ming

Wait a minute, it seems to be possible.

The director’s power armor must be a product of the company. If Chen Ming wants a set later, it shouldn’t be difficult.

Chen Ming stared at the director's power armor for a few seconds. Although he couldn't help himself, he still looked away.

At the same time, he was not in a hurry to leave and left the matter of explaining the situation to the factory director.

While listening, he continued to tie up the unconscious person on the ground.

In response to the director's question, the factory director immediately took the director to the deepest part of the corridor.

He said to the people lying on the ground: "All the invaders have been dealt with. We were the ones who released the mental pulse just now."

The director casually kicked the dead military man lying on the ground and said, "Well, not bad."

He then contacted several of his subordinates outside through the device inside the helmet.

After briefly explaining a few things, the director ordered the guards behind him to follow and begin capturing those who had sneaked into the administration.

Soon, the alarm of the administration stopped, all the previously paralyzed internal equipment began to restart, and the smoke that had been unable to be discharged inside was gradually fading away.

With so many people protecting him, Chen Ming relaxed a little and was no longer overly vigilant.

While the guards were still dealing with the unconscious people and the piled up bodies, Chen Ming asked the factory manager who was also idle next to him: "If the military attacks the Administration like this, what will happen next?"

The factory director responded as if he had been prepared: "Although we all know that the military did this, the military will definitely not admit it, and there will be no obvious evidence left behind."

"Even if the military directly attacks our Pirate Space Station Administration, it may not be a problem in name only, but in reality, it needs to consider more than just the name."

"So, the military's credibility will definitely plummet after this incident."

"What the specific consequences will be depends on the confrontation between the top leaders."

"But this has nothing to do with us. Our primary task now is to get you safely to the Star Region capital."

"But one thing is certain. The military will suffer a great loss in this matter. How much loss it will suffer depends on the performance of the superiors and you."

At about the same time, the director of the administration and the guards arrived at the second underground floor.

Inside the hotel room where the military team is located, which is close to the administration building.

Several members of the military team were silently watching the content transmitted back in real time from the monitoring screen on the hacker team's computer.

As the surveillance video just transmitted the image of everyone falling down in an instant, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

Only the captain spoke first at this time: "This is a mind pulse. I didn't expect the management bureau would be willing to give such a thing to Chen Ming."

"Alas... the mission is a complete failure. The Administration has taken precautions. We will never have another chance on the space station."

Xia Chao couldn't help but ask, "What should we do then? Should we really go and dig for coal?"

"It would be great if you can really dig coal for us. Let's go first and see if there are other opportunities later."

The other members of the military team did not comment, but quietly packed up their things.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the hotel room door.

"Hello, your ordered dinner has arrived."

The captain was stunned for a moment, then raised his gun and shot Tian Jiwen in the head, who had been tied up for some time.

And immediately pointed the gun at the door.

Before he could fire the second shot, countless bullets were fired directly into the room from outside the hotel room door.

Another fight broke out at the hotel after the chaos at the administration had subsided.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Ming who just walked into the director's office.

After following the director into his office, the director continued to take Chen Ming and others into an independent lounge next to the office.

At the same time, three new guards were arranged to protect Chen Ming closely.

The patrol member who was injured earlier was sent to the medical room inside the administration building.

To a certain extent, the technology in the Administration's medical room is better than that of outside hospitals. Coupled with the medical technology of the space age, it is not difficult to treat his burns.

After settling Chen Ming down, the director said to him, "Please wait here for now. The shuttle will arrive in eleven hours. I will escort you there safely when it arrives."

The director then called his secretary over and said, "If you need anything, you can ask him to arrange it for you. I still have things to do."

Since such a vicious incident has occurred within the Administration, a thorough investigation must be conducted from top to bottom.

As the director, he naturally needs to be at the front line of work.

So Chen Ming had no objection to the director leaving.

But Chen Ming still feels a little bit worried.

Although the director said he would protect him, that heavy power armor did give people a heavy sense of security.

But Chen Ming felt that the military would not give up just because of this matter, so it still had to make some preparations in advance.

And now there is something that is quite suitable to give away.

"Wait a mininute."

Hearing Chen Ming's voice, the director turned back and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Ming took out the terminal and called up a file on it.

This was previously found in the terminal of the soldier who died in the escape pod stuck on the spacecraft. There is evidence that the military outpost is smuggling stimulants.

In fact, Chen Ming had already wanted to hand this thing over to the factory manager on the way here.

Let the factory director pass it to the chairman.

However, the factory director said he could not contact the chairman, and said that a board meeting was about to be held and the chairman had to go over to preside over it.

This board meeting mainly focused on two matters, one was Chen Ming's matter, and the other was the military's matter.

In a sense, it all has to do with Chen Ming.

So since the chairman couldn't be contacted, the factory director directly asked Chen Ming to talk to the director about the matter.

The director above the director is not the same person as the factory manager.

With this evidence, anyone can legally question the military.

Those who have connections can even directly use the military’s internal reporting channels to bring soldiers involved in smuggling to justice.

Although smuggling is something that is tacitly acknowledged among all the major forces, once it is brought to light, someone must be held accountable.

The director took the terminal from Chen Ming and carefully checked the contents of the smuggling list.

While the director was reading the documents, Chen Ming asked the director's secretary for something to eat.

It was noon when Chen Ming was returning from the Star Region capital. On the way back, he just had some compressed food to fill his stomach.

It was almost evening now, but there were still eleven hours to wait.

By three or four in the morning of the next day, if I don’t replenish some energy, something might go wrong.

After the secretary brought the food over, the factory director had almost finished reading all the contents on the smuggling list and checked all the relevant information directly in the office.

I concluded that all of this list is correct.

The director returned the terminal to Chen Ming and said, "The smuggling list, even the list of goods with accurate location and time, is so detailed? Where did you get it?"

Chen Ming naturally couldn't say that he got it by relying on Yu Hui's boat, so he just said casually: "I picked it up."

The director's expression beneath his helmet was slightly complicated.

His usual attitude towards work made him unacceptable to Chen Ming's ambiguous answer.

However, he was not Chen Ming's direct superior, and his relationship with Chen Ming was not necessarily that of a superior and a subordinate.

So he didn't say anything, nor did he express any opinion about Chen Ming.

He just said based on the contents of the smuggling list that Chen Ming showed him: "This list is very important."

“It will give the company an advantage in dealing with matters related to the military.”

"If we send this back, the entire military outpost may need a replacement."

"At this point in time, combined with the previous incident, we can at least temporarily shut down the military outpost, which will be very helpful for your safety."

The director also knew that Chen Ming was definitely not bringing out this list at this time to bargain.

So he said to the guards waiting outside the office: "Zhang Ji, you will take over my task next."

The guard standing at the front of the guard team saluted towards the office.

He quickly left the office with the other guards.

The director took Chen Ming to his desk and asked Chen Ming to connect the terminal to his computer.

"I will send this list to the company's directors for you. The impact of this list should be reflected soon."

"good."

Just when Chen Ming gave the director a clear reply.

Chen Ming suddenly discovered that there was movement on the armor-piercing level side that he had been paying attention to.

When Chen Ming drove the spaceship back to the pirate space station, the engineers of Sinda Company had already installed the armor-piercing class automatic pulse laser, a large weapon provided by the government itself.

As well as the weapons on the other four medium-sized load-bearing points, two energy weapons called heavy impact cannons, and two ion beams that Chen Ming was very familiar with.

After installing weapons on the armor-piercing class and debugging it.

It has now been sent to a cruiser-class heavy cargo ship called Colossus, which Chen Ming had also seen at Yu Hui's place.

Moreover, the armor-piercing tank is placed right at the edge of the cargo hold.

It just so happened that Chen Ming was actually lacking in fighting ability at this time.

Although it is unlikely that the military will directly send a fleet to attack, what if that happens? Therefore, a spaceship with sufficient combat power is still necessary for Chen Ming.

So now is actually the best time for Chen Ming to steal the boat.

However, the purpose of this cargo ship and the cargo fleet to which it belongs can be roughly guessed based on what Chen Ming had heard before, that the government was going to test the armor-piercing class.

Their destination should be a colony that is closest to the military outpost and also closest to the pirate space station.

This is a mining colony. The main purpose of the government's freight caravans in the past should have been regular supply of materials and taking away materials from the colony. Sending the armor-piercing class over was just a side job.

But no matter what, it is true that the cargo ship would actively approach Chen Ming with its armor-piercing class weapons.

Chen Ming could actually wait for the cargo ship to arrive.

But the problem is that the armor-piercing level needs to follow the caravan.

The sailing speed of the caravan is definitely based on the slowest ship in the caravan.

With the Colossus freighter as a cruiser, the caravan would definitely not be able to reach its maximum speed in hyperspace.

In addition, the cargo ship may need to stop at a colony along the way, so the delivery speed should be slower than when Chen Ming personally drove the spaceship back. It is difficult to determine how much slower it will be, but it will definitely not be short.

Moreover, if the caravan really successfully delivered the armor-piercing ship to the colony, it would be difficult for Chen Ming to find an opportunity to attack the spaceship.

but.

Just when Chen Ming discovered the movement of the Armor-Piercing Class, the cargo ship it was on had just set off from the Star Region Capital Colony.

At this time, we have reached the edge of the galaxy and are about to enter the hyperspace channel.

This is simply a godsend, the best opportunity.

The spacecraft's weapons have all been installed and the fuel has been fully filled.

Chen Ming didn't dare to use the large weapon on the bow of the armor-piercing class ship directly in the ship, but the remaining four medium-sized weapons were enough to open a door on the Colossus from the inside of the spacecraft.

Chen Ming did not hesitate and decisively activated the armor-piercing heavy impact cannon.

From outside the spacecraft, one could see that the Colossus cargo ship had suddenly suffered severe damage close to the right front of the ship.

The news of the accidental discharge of the ship's weapons was also sent to the captain's room.

The captain of the Colossus cargo ship is also an old captain who has worked in the government for decades.

When faced with a sudden unexpected situation, he did not panic, but calmly assigned different tasks to the personnel in various parts of the spacecraft.

The most important thing is naturally to confirm the damage to the hull and the loss of the cargo inside.

"The outward-facing side of the cargo hold was basically completely destroyed, and armor-piercing agents were leaking out of the cargo hold."

The captain immediately tapped the console in front of him and said, "Got it. Immediately organize a towing ship to re-secure the armor-piercing class."

"Wait a minute, what's going on? The spaceship is driving itself?"

"What?"

The captain was very sure that he had heard correctly, and immediately asked other people on the bridge to bring the surveillance to him.

Then he saw the armor-piercing class directly activate the hyperspace channel system and enter hyperspace after moving away from the fleet.

"Anyone on board?"

"Impossible! A destroyer needs at least a dozen people to barely operate. A dozen people hiding in the cargo hold can't hide from the people in charge of inspection."

The captain immediately took out the terminal, ready to skip the troublesome reporting system and report this strange situation directly to his superiors.

At the same time, he was also giving work to his deputy next to him: "Notify the escort fleet immediately and ask them to find a way to track down that armor-piercing ship."

The deputy who looked somewhat young immediately said: "Yes, but can they catch up?"

The captain shook his head and said, "It's a stretch. If a ship reaches full speed in hyperspace for just a few seconds, it can be equivalent to flying for several months in normal conditions."

"This spacecraft suddenly entered the navigation channel. The probability of finding it is basically zero. I just don't know if there is a positioning system installed on the ship. Maybe it can be of some use."

"Alright, hurry up and notify them. The longer we wait, the lower the chance of finding an armor-piercing level."

The second-in-command nodded quickly and left the captain's side.

The captain looked at the location where the armor-piercing class disappeared on the monitor, squinting his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

At this time, the armor-piercing class that had successfully entered the hyperspace channel had also successfully accelerated to the maximum speed in hyperspace.

Although the government did install a positioning system on the armor-piercing class, the entire spacecraft was under Chen Ming's control, so it made no difference whether it was installed or not.

In addition, due to the maximum speed limit in hyperspace, even if the positioning system is really effective, other ships have no chance of catching up with the armor-piercing class.

The rest is nothing more than the armor-piercing class flying along the route, and when passing through the government colony system, they may be arrested by the patrol team in the hyperspace channel.

But Chen Ming can also choose to jump out of the hyperspace channel directly when he is close to a galaxy, and go through the normal cosmic environment to bypass the dangerous galaxy.

In normal space conditions, the speed of the Armor-Piercing class is not as slow as that of the Iron Ore which has not been modified.

Jumping out of the hyperspace lane and re-entering the hyperspace lane after bypassing the system will not delay much time.

If it is really too late, Chen Ming can also choose a more risky but faster way.

Go directly outside the hyperspace channel, which is the dangerous area full of hyperspace channel clouds and hyperspace lightning.

As for the spacecraft, Chen Ming can repair it remotely by consuming his mental power.

For Chen Ming, who can repair things infinitely as long as all the materials are complete, forcing his way into the dangerous area of ​​the hyperspace channel is actually an option.

The final destination of the Armor-Piercing Class was determined by Chen Ming to be the space station.

Although he was going to the capital of the star field next, it was not easy for the armor-piercing-class ship to appear in front of the government or the company.

Moreover, the reason why Chen Ming is in a hurry to break through the armor level is because he lacks the guarantee of combat effectiveness.

If everything goes well and the company takes him in without any accidents, then there will be no problem for Chen Ming to send the ship directly to the Dark Cemetery.

At that time, the ship will be handed over to Gamma B for control.

Chen Ming will then have two destroyers that are indirectly controlled by the Afterglow AI.

Moreover, Gamma AB are about to be upgraded to become Beta-level afterglow individuals.

The capabilities that the two spaceships that are completely under Chen Ming's control can exert are definitely much higher than the capabilities of the spaceships that Chen Ming only indirectly controls through AI.

Although Chen Ming chose to accept the company's invitation, he will probably stay mainly in the company located in the prosperous star field.

But he didn't sign a contract to sell himself.

With the help of hyperspace channels and even star gates, it is not difficult to go out to the edge star field.

Chen Ming is a psychic and an extremely important person to the company, as long as he demonstrates his due abilities after joining the company for the second time.

He believed that the company would give him permission to use the Star Gate.

certainly.

The premise of everything Chen Ming is thinking about now is that everything that happens next will go smoothly.
