Chapter 106: Simple Test, Permission to Go Out

Yu Hui wanted to test the upper limit of Chen Ming's ability.

Chen Ming was actually quite curious about the limit of his ability.

His repair ability can replenish live ammunition and missiles.

Even energy weapons can reduce the time limit of weapon cooling through the repair function when the energy supply is sufficient, which is equivalent to replenishing ammunition in disguise.

So where is the upper limit of this ability?

What about the nuclear missile silos installed on spacecraft?

Or after humans entered the space age, what about those weapons that are more terrifying than nuclear bombs?

Although Chen Ming can't touch nuclear bombs, nor can he touch weapons stronger than nuclear bombs, and Yu Hui doesn't know whether he will give them.

But in short, testing the upper limit of the ability will not harm Chen Ming.

There is nothing to say, Chen Ming directly chose to repair the Purgatory Cannon.

This giant cannon, which is as big as the Iron Ore, almost consumed all the repair materials prepared by Yu Hui in just a few minutes.

There are still some small pieces left, and Yu Hui should not be able to take them away later, so Chen Ming can keep them for himself.

The metal liquid stopped flowing into the Infernal Cannon, and all thirty rounds of the Infernal Cannon's magazines had been loaded.

The whole process gave Chen Ming the feeling that it was no different from repairing other ship-borne weapons that used ordinary bullets.

Overall, it was similar to repairing a frigate of the same size, and there was no special feeling at all.

Chen Ming specially called the operating equipment in the factory to open the magazine of the Infernal Cannon and took a look.

He did see thirty man-sized shells loaded with plasma-charged warheads neatly placed in the magazine.

Even though Chen Ming had no knowledge of plasma-charged warheads, and did not even have a sample, only materials.

Chen Ming still relied on his maintenance ability to replenish them all. It can only be said that maintenance ability is still the most perverted ability that Chen Ming has now.

Huihuang, who also has factory authority, can obviously see the magazine that Chen Ming opened.

And this time, he did not wait for Chen Ming to leave for rest at night, but directly dispatched a remote-controlled robot team to drag the Infernal Cannon away again.

Towed onto a cargo ship that landed quite a distance from the factory.

It can be seen that Yu Hui is very concerned about the results of Chen Ming's ability test this time.

It may be that Yu Hui happened to have a plan that can be based on Chen Ming's ability.

Whether it is what Chen Ming thinks or not, there should be a result after a while.

After watching the cargo ship take off, Chen Ming asked Huihuang: "Are there no other tasks today?"

"No, please continue to study the books we gave you before in the remaining time."

"Okay."

In that case, Chen Ming felt that the time was almost right.

Before Huihuang hung up the call, Chen Ming said directly: "I have a request."

"What request?"

"You should know that my ship is a mining ship, so I want to go out to mine. You should not worry that my small mining ship will collect all the ore, right?"

Chen Ming's sudden question did not make Huihuang hesitate, and he immediately asked: "What's the reason?"

"Same as yesterday."

"Mr. Chen, your request yesterday was for green plants that can provide you with emotional value, and we have now helped you obtain the cultivation equipment and will soon deliver it here."

"We are also looking for green plants suitable for human habitation, and they will also be delivered soon."

"Is it unreasonable to obtain emotional value through mining work?"

Huanghuang clearly rejected Chen Ming, but Chen Ming also had reasons to explain.

"You should know that humans have a kind of cabin fever, right?"

"If a person stays in a closed environment for a long time, psychological problems will occur."

"Look around, it looks very empty, but in fact, the gray land and the dark sky may give people a stronger sense of claustrophobia than a normal environment."

"And I usually stay in the factory during the day. The factory environment you specially transformed is no match for my normal working environment on the human side."

"You should understand this, right?"

Huanghui knew that there is indeed cabin fever among human diseases, and the cause of the disease is indeed the same as what Chen Ming said.

Although he is not a human and does not know what human thinking is like, he knows that different humans have different definitions of different things.

A narrow environment for one person may be just right for others.

Therefore, Chen Ming's current request is barely within the reasonable range.

But if Chen Ming, who is extremely dangerous to Yuhui, runs out of the factory and walks around the planet at will, it is definitely not a good thing for them.

So Huihui immediately reported the situation to the higher-level Yuhui AI.

However, it takes time to transmit information, and it also takes time to consider and confirm and then send the information back.

Just when Huihuang hadn't given Chen Ming a definite answer.

Chen Ming suddenly took a step back and said, "In fact, I don't have to go out. I just need to let my spaceship go out."

Huanghui immediately asked, "Can remotely controlling the spaceship to do mining work help you relax?"

"Do you know the concept of games? It's similar to games. In reality, if people are really asked to do mining work, it's really hard to say that it's a way to relax, but it's completely different in games."

"People may spend hours or even days collecting minerals in games, and I remotely control my spaceship, which is actually similar to games. Just think of it as playing games for fun."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, Huihui also received a reply from a farther place. After confirming Yu Hui's attitude in the reply.

Huanghui directly rejected Chen Ming's idea and said, "Mr. Chen, please try your best to ensure your efficiency in daily work and your efficiency in learning. We will not delay your regular acceptance."

However, although Huihui refused, he sent Chen Ming's request back again.

Chen Ming obviously would not give up easily, and continued to try: "You should be able to see the efficiency of work, right? It only takes me five minutes to complete most of the work, and I think I have invested enough time in learning."

"Come to think of it, you mean that as long as I guarantee that I can pass the monthly review, you can give me the freedom to do so?"

Huanghui hesitated for half a second, and received a reply again, saying: "Yes, it requires an excellent review result, and only your spacecraft can sail on the planet."

Chen Ming was a little excited, but he did not show it.

He had succeeded in getting the first step to go out.

And it was not surprising that Huihui would give in to Chen Ming. After all, the reason it refused Chen Ming to go out last time was that an asteroid fell, not a strict prohibition.

It was this bargaining process that Chen Ming always felt something was wrong.

But this was not the point. The point was that as long as Chen Ming completed the excellent review, his Iron Ore could go out and sail freely on Yuhui's colony planet.

Although it would definitely be monitored by Yuhui, at least the first step was taken.

"Then let's start now. I have mastered all the books you gave me."

Huanghui was not surprised by Chen Ming's request for review now, but just said: "Mr. Chen, shortening the inspection period may not be a good choice for you."

"I know,"

Chen Ming's answer made Huihui send a document immediately and said: "Complete it, we will give you an assessment soon."

Chen Ming nodded and opened the file. While reading the content of the file, he suddenly realized what the strange feeling he just felt was.

However, he had no ability to change it now, so he could only silently start writing this review test that was almost the same as the test paper he had written countless times.

Chen Ming had already thoroughly mastered the knowledge in the book given by Yu Hui before, and filled in all the contents in the file as if he was directly looking at the reference answer.

The whole process did not take much time.

Huihui received the completed document sent by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming felt that according to Yu Hui's calculation ability, he should be able to get the result immediately.

However, Huihuang did not directly answer Chen Ming about the results, but just asked Chen Ming to continue the actual operation.

For the actual operation, Chen Ming needs to carry out special modifications on several standard weapons, including [expanding energy conduction track], [series coil], [conductor track parallel connection], etc.

Just when Chen Ming was writing the questions, Huihuang had already delivered the weapons needed for the actual test to the factory.

Two small and one medium weapons were piled up in the factory's work area.

However, Chen Ming did not want to honestly transform all three. Although there were mechanical equipment, it would still take a lot of time to transform three machines.

So Chen Ming tried to say: "I should have said it before? My transformation ability can only transform the relevant knowledge in my mind."

Huanghuang replied very reasonably: "Yes, but in the actual test we still want to see your ability to do it yourself. You can choose one to transform yourself, and the other two use your ability."

"Okay."

It would be convenient if you only need to transform one weapon.

Chen Ming controlled the factory machinery and quickly began to transform one of the small weapons. At the same time, he threw the other two weapons onto the refraction, and instantly completed the transformation that Chen Ming had mastered thoroughly.

Then, with the fastest efficiency that Chen Ming could achieve, he completed the remaining tasks with the help of the factory equipment.

Huihuang suddenly asked: "Mr. Chen, have you learned our technology before?"

"No, but what you gave me is very basic knowledge, which is not too difficult to learn."

The reason Chen Ming gave made Huihuang difficult to evaluate.

Although it sounds reasonable.

After all, simple knowledge does not take too much time to master.

But Huihuang gave Chen Ming more than a dozen books, with a total of hundreds of pages. It is not that they are simple and can be learned and mastered in two days.

Even the actual operation can be so proficient.

Even Huihuang himself, when he was still at the Gamma level, could not achieve the learning speed of Chen Ming.

So it immediately made a change to Chen Ming's daily report that it had to submit every day.

There was no change in other things, but one line of "Learning efficiency evaluation, high" was changed to "evaluation medium", with learning ability at least close to the core of the Beta level.

And it added an extra line at the end of the report.

"You can try to speed up the learning progress in the next cycle."

After doing this, Huihuang immediately said to Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen, you can fly freely on the planet later, but as you said, only your spaceship can fly freely on the planet."

"The next review will still be conducted in a month. These are the books you need to learn and master next."

After Huihuang finished speaking, he sent a new batch of e-books to the control terminal of the factory, with a few more books than before.

Chen Ming looked at the titles of these books, and they were just as he had thought before.

Most of them were about weapons, and only a small part was about radiation systems.

And Chen Ming flipped through them casually and found that the difficulty of learning all the books in them had increased to a certain extent compared with the previous first batch.

Obviously, Yu Hui needed Chen Ming to specialize in the weapons and radiation technologies of Yu Hui's ships.

I just don't know if Yu Hui will change his plan after knowing Chen Ming's learning efficiency.

After Huihuang gave Chen Ming the opportunity to act on the planet and left.

Chen Ming finally had the opportunity to start preparing to do real work.

However, Huihuang gave Chen Ming a map of the distribution of mineral veins on the planet when he just left.

There are two meanings for giving this thing.

One is to follow Chen Ming's intention and allow Chen Ming to easily find mineral-dense areas on the planet for mining.

The other is to restrict Chen Ming's movable routes on the planet in disguise.

Chen Ming said that he was mining to relax, so if he had nothing to do and ran to a place where there was no mineral vein marked on the map, he must have ulterior motives.

So if Chen Ming does not want to be restricted by Yuhui more, then his spaceship must follow the distribution of mineral veins when it goes out, and at most deviate a little.

This is a restriction he must bear.

After all, there must be some individuals of Yuhui on the planet.

The colonies of the planet need to be developed, so there needs to be units to go out for field investigations to confirm the direction and possibilities of development.

Or as Gamma A once said, some individuals of Yuhui have their own interests, and exploring the planet is one of them.

So Chen Ming might find them somewhere when he goes out with his spaceship.

Even if Yuhui will give orders to the Yuhui on the planet to avoid Chen Ming and warn Chen Ming in advance of the direction of flight, there will definitely be some individuals of Yuhui who cannot completely avoid Chen Ming's spaceship.

If the direction of Chen Ming's spaceship is restricted, at least the probability of Chen Ming encountering Yuhui individuals will be greatly reduced.

But Chen Ming must have considered this issue before.

Although Yuhui would definitely monitor him, no matter how strict the monitoring was, as long as he could see Yuhui, he would definitely find an opportunity.

Chen Ming opened the map on the Iron Ore.

The map given by Huihuang was a three-dimensional map.

A sphere appeared in front of Chen Ming through the spacecraft equipment.

You can intuitively see how the mineral veins on the planet are distributed.

Chen Ming's current location, where the colony is located, is near a large ilmenite vein.

It is this ilmenite that supports the development of the entire Yuhui Industrial Colony.

As the Yuhui Colony continues to expand, some small mineral veins around it, such as manganese ore, copper ore, iron ore, etc., have also been covered by the colony and are being developed.

But outside the colony, there are still a lot of mineral resources quietly lying there.

Even many of these mineral veins are pure open-pit veins.

The mineral resource reserves of the entire planet can be said to be quite exaggerated.

And these open-pit veins, from a normal logic, will be Chen Ming's next target.

But Chen Ming didn't want to argue with Yu Hui. He couldn't plan his route based on where it was convenient to collect valuable ores.

The route he planned later must be a route that could cover the largest area of ​​the entire planet during daily life while sailing close to the ground.

In this way, his exploration of the planet would be more accurate, and the probability of encountering Yu Hui would be higher.

Anyway, Yu Hui didn't restrict Chen Ming's destination and route.

It didn't matter if he wandered around in different mineral veins. The higher the chance of finding Yu Hui, the better.

Chen Ming needs more targets and more complex and changing environments.

Only then can he complete his final idea under Yuhui's surveillance.

So in the end, Chen Ming decided that his destination was on the other side of the planet, on a piece of bauxite that was just opposite to his current colony.

Chen Ming chose such a destination, not only for his final goal, but also after careful consideration of the feasibility.

According to the navigation speed of the Iron Ore, it is enough to go back and forth in daily life on this planet that is several times smaller than Ramu.

And Chen Ming actually has another idea, which is to see which ores Chen Ming particularly needs now.

You can find a way to collect and smelt some, and replenish some raw materials for the Iron Ore.

The planets that Yuhui can colonize will always have some rare minerals.

By the way, try to disassemble the ore, which Chen Ming has never tried before.

Maybe it can save the fuel cost of smelting, or even directly save the smelting equipment.

And even if the ore collected back is not what Chen Ming needs, he can also choose to give the unnecessary ore collected to Huihuang.

Like other Yuhui individuals who control heavy mining machinery and are responsible for mining, they get normal material rations for work.

Huihuang said before that Chen Ming also has material rations, and these rations can be exchanged for some materials.

For example, sky steel.

After Chen Ming modified and repaired the spacecraft several times before, sky steel has begun to be a little short.

In a short period of time, Chen Ming does not know where to find the mechanical tribe to purchase goods, so it is always good to reserve some.

And since Yuhui agreed to Chen Ming to mine the spacecraft, it is also considered to agree to Chen Ming to mine.

Although the efficiency of the Iron Mine is average, it should be no problem to subsidize some resources for self-use.

In this way, the Iron Mine is back to its old business.

In the limited storage space and long operation time, find enough valuable rare ores, collect, smelt, and bring back.

Chen Ming, from a savage struggling to survive on Raymu, has now become Yu Hui's half collaborator and half prisoner.

At least it's better than before, and better than dying directly under the firepower of the military rulers.

Chen Ming didn't dwell on the past.

He got off the Iron Ore, left the work area separated from where Chen Ming usually stayed, and then opened the factory door.

He controlled the Iron Ore to fly to the other end of the planet along the shortest route between the mineral veins on the planet.

Huihuang didn't say anything about Chen Ming's behavior of "relaxing" during work time.

Anyway, Chen Ming's daily work today has been completed, and the review has been passed. Tomorrow is the time for everything to start as usual.

In Chen Ming's eyes, the gray land of this planet called KT-3 by Yu Hui kept passing under the Iron Ore.

The unchanging environment made Chen Ming even doubt whether the Iron Ore was spinning in place.

Fortunately, after leaving the colony for a distance, the terrain of the planet gradually began to fluctuate.

Some smooth hills gradually appeared at the limit of the field of vision that the camera of the Iron Ore could capture.

However, the environment here is still similar to that near the colony, and it is still all gray land.

Chen Ming tried to find any traces of biological existence, but it is obvious that there will be no biological existence on this rocky planet without an atmosphere.

Instead, he saw a lot of high-grade metal ore veins exposed on the surface.

The value of collection is definitely higher than that of low-priced high-grade metals such as Baiyun Steel.

However, Chen Ming still restrained the thoughts in his mind and continued to fly to the destination.

In the middle of the flight, in addition to his main search for traces of Yuhui individuals, he also saw several veins that were obviously used to build mining farms where Yuhui had worked recently.

Through the spacecraft, Chen Ming could not only see the mechanized ore punches in the mining farm in operation, but also saw the passage leading deep underground, which was obviously for robots to pass.

Yuhui himself also has robots, and there will be Yuhui AI cores installed on these robots.

When Chen Ming thought of this, he felt that he had a lot to do in these mining sites.

The complex and dangerous environment deep underground was simply the best place for him to do things.

But the only problem with doing this was that.

The Iron Ore was a mining spacecraft, and its design purpose was to collect ore from asteroids.

Mining work on the ground was already a bit difficult, and mining work deep underground was even more so.

But Chen Ming didn't give up so easily, and he still planned to give it a try.

Although Chen Ming didn't have a mining robot, he had a spider-shaped transport robot.

After some modification, the equipment of the mining robot should be able to be used.

Chen Ming remembered that there seemed to be a book about robot modification in the technical book that Lao Wu had given him before.

At that time, Chen Ming can use the mining robots to enter these working mines.

Just find a way to bypass Yu Hui's restrictions, or simply bring up this idea directly with Yu Hui and the others.

Although it may not be realized, what if.

Anyway, even if it can't be realized, Chen Ming will find a way himself.
