Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 108 Tight Time, Restrictions on Going Out

The Iron Ore's forced landing position was just right, so that its hatch happened to be aimed at the location of the mine tunnel.

At the same time, a small-scale explosion occurred at the hatch of the Iron Ore, and the hatch was blown open.

Under the cover of countless falling rubble, the mining robot, which looked a little tattered, quickly slipped into the mine tunnel and rushed underground.

Chen Ming wanted to take advantage of this moment to take action on the two afterglow AIs in his plan.

Connect them to the robot controlled by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming had left some small monitoring equipment he made last night in the mining field yesterday.

A miniature camera, with a matching mini power supply, is not complicated, and the effect is also very simple.

Installed in some blind spots of monitoring deep in the mine tunnel, Chen Ming can see the situation here remotely.

So Chen Ming has now confirmed that there are two robots controlled by afterglow in the mine, and they are moving hurriedly to the ground.

At this time, they have lost contact with the upper part due to the damage of the signal repeater caused by the explosion, and are about to crash into the mining robot that is going down.

The reason why Chen Ming was so eager to act instead of waiting for other opportunities.

was because Huihuang asked Chen Ming a few days ago if he had any special requirements for the living environment.

Chen Ming didn't react at the time, but later he suddenly realized the other meaning of Huihuang's words.

At present, the industrial colony of Yuhui where Chen Ming is located is located on the edge of Yuhui's territory on the star map that Gamma A gave him last time.

So Yuhui's placement of Chen Ming here must be only temporary, and he will be transferred to other places sooner or later.

Chen Ming has always been clear about this, but he always thought that the time would be later.

It was not until Huihuang asked that question that he knew that this day was coming.

If Yuhui wants to transfer Chen Ming, he must first arrange a more rigorous environment to control him.

Secondly, Yuhui and others need Chen Ming to work for them, so providing a good living environment is definitely necessary.

So Chen Ming realized later why Huihuang asked him that.

And just a few days ago, it only took Yuhui one night to transform these three factories into an environment suitable for human work.

To transform an environment suitable for human habitation, even if some vegetation needs to be transplanted to ensure a certain ecological environment, it will take at most a few days.

If Yu Hui himself has developed a habitable planet, the efficiency will definitely be higher.

And if Chen Ming is really taken by Yu Hui to a place that they have arranged more carefully, it will be difficult for him to find such a good opportunity to contact Yu Hui again.

So after careful consideration, he decided to do it directly if there is a chance.

Chen Ming is lucky, Yu Hui doesn't seem to have it, so he didn't prepare to transfer him directly a few days ago.

Let him delay until now and find a decent opportunity.

In addition, Yu Hui has begun to increase the progress of Chen Ming's ability test, and Chen Ming has also shown great cooperation.

In other words, even if Chen Ming does something unexpected now, at most Yu Hui will continue to increase his supervision of him until he is transferred to other places.

But it doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't do this, Yu Hui will definitely not change their plan.

Chen Ming still has to go to other galaxies. He doesn't have much time.

Chen Ming's lack of time is not only reflected in his personal freedom, but also in the mining field.

After the explosion, less than two minutes had passed.

The mining robot controlled by Chen Ming had not yet gone down a few floors.

Several ships of Yuhui's escort class had already landed on the ground from space.

At the same time, Huihuang's communication was also sent to ask Chen Ming about the situation.

Chen Ming immediately explained according to the wording he had thought of before: "My spaceship was hit by something blown away by the explosion when it just passed the mining field, causing the engine to shut down. I am restarting the spaceship."

"Please do it as soon as possible and do not affect the actions of the subsequent rescue ship."

Huanghuang's words made Chen Ming a little strange.

It is not known whether Huihuang has not received more specific and detailed information, or whether he has already known the situation on the scene, but has not suspected him.

However, immediately afterwards, the Iron Ore suddenly detected that there was a detection device scanning the Iron Ore and the surrounding areas.

Chen Ming knew that Yuhui's ship was not scanning the Iron Ore, but scanning the underground situation.

The few Yuhui ships that arrived at the fastest speed near the Iron Ore were just temporary emergency ships, and the scanning equipment they were equipped with could only scan forty to fifty meters at most.

However, the mine tunnel itself has space for the scanning signal to continue to go deeper.

Therefore, they should be able to scan the current location of the robot.

Just as Chen Ming thought.

Huihuang asked Chen Ming a question again.

And this time it was not an inquiry, but a question.

"Mr. Chen, why is your robot down there?"

It seems that Huihuang didn't receive the detailed information just now, so he didn't suspect Chen Ming at first.

But now it's different.

Chen Ming certainly can't say that he wants to blow up the mining site and try to give him the opportunity to control Yuhui AI

Continue to say as he had considered before: "My robot was hit when it made an emergency landing just now. It seems that there are parts inside that are damaged. I lost control of it, and then it rushed out directly."

"This is the last error data sent back by my robot. Do you want to see it?"

Chen Ming transferred a data packet to the factory computer.

The data packet was not forged by Chen Ming, but was real, because Chen Ming did tamper with the robot.

It will actively trigger the error designed in Chen Ming's program at some point, and directly use the explosives carried with him to blow up the hatch that has been removed by Chen Ming from the explosion-proof airtight door and most of the Baiyun steel materials.

After that, Chen Ming will control the mining robot through his ability.

In this way, all things that seem deliberate will be turned into coincidences.

Just when Chen Ming sent the data packet to the factory computer.

The second big explosion happened here at the mining site.

A collapse occurred again near the mine tunnel, and half of the Iron Ore sank directly into the ground.

At this time, Chen Ming immediately said to Huihuang: "The signal of my robot is cut off."

At the same time, in accordance with what Chen Ming said.

With this explosion, a large amount of crushed rocks completely blocked the upper mine tunnel.

With the internal power grid of the mine tunnel destroyed and the signal repeater disconnected, it was difficult for the scanning equipment to continue to explore in a completely closed space.

They also lost control of the position of Chen Ming's robot.

Deep underground is already pitch black for Yuhui on the surface.

At least it was so before the arrival of the spacecraft with more powerful scanning and exploration capabilities.

However, for Chen Ming, the underground now seems to have completely fallen into his control.

So he must hurry up.

Huihuang already had full doubts at this time.

But Chen Ming's performance in recent days has been very cooperative, without any intention of resistance.

And based on its observations during this period, it really believes that Chen Ming has no way to control things outside the spacecraft.

But there are some things in front of us, and we can't completely get rid of the relationship just because of Chen Ming's recent performance.

Huihuang said to Chen Ming again: "Mr. Chen, we need you to explain the cause of this explosion."

"Our mining field will not use any items that may cause such a powerful explosion. It must be your mining robot that can cause such a situation."

Chen Ming said as if he didn't know either: "I don't know. I let my mining robot carry some explosives, but I never let it use it."

"Maybe... there were some problems with my robot before? My mastery of robot technology is not superb."

"The transformation was also transformed from a transport robot before, which you have seen before."

"I feel that there was a problem when I transformed it, but I didn't find it."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Ming said, and called up all the operation records of his control of the mining robot on the computer of the Iron Mine.

And the chip operation data of the mining robot itself that has a factual backup on the computer.

Send them all to the factory computer.

"I know you are doubting me now, but I have no reason to blow up a mining site. Is this good for me?"

Huanghui accepted the data, but still said: "Mr. Chen, whether you doubt or not is our business."

"I know, so I will cooperate with you."

Chen Ming said this and did this, and even took the initiative to explain and took part of the blame on himself.

This will make it convenient for him to provide relevant guidance in this regard when Yu Hui finds out the results.

After all, he did mix some loopholes in the behavior logic chip of the mining robot.

And these loopholes just happen to make the mining robot receive some inexplicable false commands that appear immediately.

Although there are two sets of data as a basis, and Huihui has also discovered loopholes in the robot data.

But it still doesn't believe Chen Ming's statement at this time.

Because all this is too coincidental, as if everything is carefully arranged.

However, it has no way at this time.

Because most of the places in the mine tunnel of the mining site are monitored, of course, now because of the explosion, there is no monitoring.

However, yesterday, except for the newly excavated area at the deepest part of the mine tunnel, almost all of the mine tunnel was under Yuhui's surveillance, with only a few blind spots at most.

But for the size of the mining robot, these blind spots were hardly blind spots.

Chen Ming's mining robot was out of Yu Hui's surveillance only for a while when it was mining near the newly dug mine deep underground.

Hui Huang had just reconfirmed all the video recordings. Chen Ming's robot had no time to arrange a large amount of explosives that could cause such a powerful explosion.

And there is no direct evidence to prove that Chen Ming was responsible for the failure of the signal repeater.

So although Hui Huang is full of doubts now, there is still no substantial evidence to prove that Chen Ming planned all this from beginning to end.

However, it can still impose some restrictions on Chen Ming.

"Mr. Chen, your spaceship's permission to go out has been temporarily revoked. Please let your spaceship return immediately. We need to ensure safety."

Hui Huang did not say whose safety he was ensuring, but it didn't matter whose it was.

Chen Ming's goal had been achieved.

He said in a very cooperative manner: "I'm doing this."

The bottom engine of the landing module of the Iron Ore once again erupted with flames, pulling the hull up from the rubble that almost buried it completely.

Chen Ming did not stop at all and let it return directly.

The scattered rubble completely sealed the opening of the mine tunnel, which had not collapsed under the support of the Iron Ore.

The rest of the Yuhui ships that had just been idle immediately sent a large number of robots carrying heavy equipment to approach the ruins.

And Chen Ming's mining robot had found an opportunity deep underground.

Although the two explosions that just happened looked terrifying.

But in fact, it was only relying on the pressure of the underground explosion to blow up the top layer of rock and collapse the upper mine tunnel.

Although the lower mine tunnel was damaged to a certain extent, it still barely maintained its function, but the internal equipment was basically destroyed in the explosion just now.

So now the mine tunnel is dark, but this does not affect the mining robot turning on the night vision goggles and speeding up under Chen Ming's control.

And soon, two robots equipped with Yuhui AI cores that were Chen Ming's target were found deeper.

They immediately became alert after discovering the mining robots.

But the weapons that Chen Ming had specially installed before were for this moment.

To deal with this kind of robot responsible for maintenance work, the mining robot equipped with weapons quickly paralyzed it completely.

Even if there are two maintenance robots and they are controlled by the afterglow AI, the result will not change.

The two gamma-level AI cores were quickly removed by Chen Ming.

At the same time, he also opened the storage space of the mining robot, which contained the interface of the afterglow AI core he designed.

When Chen Ming controlled the mechanical arm of the mining robot and brought the AI ​​core close to the interface.

He became nervous unconsciously.

He had great confidence that the afterglow AI installed on the robot would be controlled.

But before it was actually realized, Chen Ming's confidence could not guarantee a 100% success rate.

If it failed, Chen Ming could only choose to bury all the evidence under the mine tunnel.

At the same time, he placed his remaining hope on the two AI cores that he had already controlled.

When Chen Ming connected the afterglow AI core to the mining robot, his nervousness reached its peak.

However, when he saw the two extra AI cores in the column [Controlled AI Individuals] on the panel, he relaxed again.

If it can be controlled, then everything can continue to proceed according to Chen Ming's predetermined plan.

Chen Ming did not stop the mining robot, but continued to approach a maintenance passage closest to the stamping machine.

Although the stamping machine had stopped working due to the explosion, it was not damaged and was directly connected to the core equipment of the entire mining field.

Chen Ming quickly found a special maintenance excuse on it and took out the adapter he had prepared in advance from the mining robot.

Connected the afterglow AI core that had been controlled by him.

Chen Ming's psychic power invaded the stamping machine like a virus, and also invaded the core control equipment of the mining field connected to the stamping machine.

And locked the last gamma AI connected to the core control equipment of this mining field.

Chen Ming's psychic power, like a virus, had invaded its body in an instant and completely controlled it.

At this point, the mining field and the three gamma AIs all fell into Chen Ming's hands.

A few minutes later, the third big explosion occurred again deep underground in the mine tunnel of the mining field.

The power of this explosion was even greater than the previous two. Not only did it cause the entire mine tunnel to collapse, but it also

Just in the past few minutes.

Chen Ming had the mining robot pull out the AI ​​core, and relied on the AI ​​core connected to the control device to completely delete the internal access record of the AI ​​core before uploading the data to the factory.

He also installed the two AI cores back into the original robot.

After placing two robots with the Afterglow AI core installed, he found a suitable location and directly chose to detonate the explosives it carried with it.

Chen Ming relied on the external brain of the blasting expert to control the power of the explosion as much as possible.

Even if the mining robot was blown up, the two Afterglow robots should be able to survive the explosion.

They will be dug out and taken away by the Afterglow who came to rescue them soon.

Under normal circumstances, the two Afterglows will inevitably go through a lot of scrutiny even if there is no problem in the future, but the scrutiny will definitely not produce any results.

There will be no psychic fluctuations on the objects controlled by Chen Ming's ability.

And under his order to keep everything normal, there will be absolutely no abnormal performance, let alone reveal Chen Ming's situation.

After the scrutiny, the Afterglow on the two robots may be transferred away, may continue to stay, or may maintain monitoring like Gamma A for quite a while.

It is even possible that they will not experience all this, but will be directly destroyed underground due to explosions or collapsed mine tunnels.

No matter which result, Chen Ming will not be affected.

Because the robot had no contact with Chen Ming at all, the Gamma AI that controlled the mining site itself was controlled by him, which was the most critical part of Chen Ming's plan this time.

This Yuhui was the most important executor of Chen Ming's next plan.

Yuhui would definitely have scrutiny and suspicion about it, but compared to the two Yuhuis in the underground, it would definitely be more relaxed.

Because Chen Ming has not yet shown the ability to remotely control the spacecraft or even control Yuhui AI.

Yuhui could not have doubts in this regard.

It was not that Chen Ming thought Yuhui's thinking would be so rigid.

But because, if Yuhui really doubted it, then Huihuang, who had been responsible for supervising Chen Ming, Huiyao, who had contact with Chen Ming before, and even all the Yuhui individuals in the entire Yuhui colony, would be among the suspects.

Therefore, unless Yuhui doubted the entire colony, there was no reason to doubt a Yuhui AI that had no contact with Chen Ming for a long time.

As long as this Yuhui AI could be preserved, then Chen Ming would have plenty of opportunities to do something very important to him later.

The Iron Ore returned to the factory.

And Yuhui still needs to continue to dig at the mining site.

Huihuang is not the commander-in-chief of this matter, so it still has time to do other things.

For example, report the situation to the higher-ups and modify Chen Ming's daily report.

The risk rating on Chen Ming's daily report had been reduced to a medium level a few days ago.

However, after today's incident, it has been raised to a high level again by Huihuang.

If they find any problems in the search and investigation of the mining site in the future, then Chen Ming's risk will continue to rise.

They will definitely take some measures against Chen Ming.

Of course, it is not a direct harmless treatment. Chen Ming has demonstrated his ability in the process of cooperation in the past few days.

Huihuang knows that their scientific research individuals have been designing some test weapons for Chen Ming's ability, and, based on the results of the tests in the past few days, they are also designing weapons that can achieve special effects based on Chen Ming's ability.

So even if targeted measures are taken against Chen Ming, it will definitely not be a direct killing.

Of course, if Chen Ming, who has just been brought back, did this kind of thing, the possibility of direct harmless treatment would be very high.

But now, how Chen Ming should be treated in the future will be determined by the results of the investigation of the mining explosion.

The Iron Ore flew back to the factory and stopped inside the factory at Huihuang's request.

Huihuang also directly locked the factory's gate authority and temporarily imprisoned Chen Ming in the factory.

Physically revoked Chen Ming's permission to go out.

And Chen Ming also decided to be honest for a few days and fully cooperate with Huihuang in doing things.

He looked like he really didn't do it, he just needed a reasonable result.

Whether Huihuang believed Chen Ming or not, he didn't know, but he had done what he had to do anyway.

When he can go out later, it should be the time for him to be transferred.

Taking advantage of the next few days, Chen Ming plans to rebuild a robot.

The previous transport robot was still very convenient to use, so Chen Ming plans to copy one.

The technical book given by Lao Wu is very complete, so complete that Chen Ming can even add vulnerabilities in the robot's chip at will.

So rebuilding a robot should be enough with so many devices inside the factory.

Huihuang only revoked Chen Ming's permission to go out, and Chen Ming could still use other permissions within the factory.

Just as Chen Ming was thinking about the robot's blueprint.

Old Wu suddenly scratched the sentry twice.

Chen Ming immediately sent a message, but Old Wu refused.

Chen Ming immediately became alert and looked over, but did not find anything special about Old Wu.

In doubt, he opened the hatch for Lao Wu and let Lao Wu enter the spaceship.

After entering the captain's room, Lao Wu said: "Xiao Mu, your spaceship is coming soon. It has been transported from the prosperous star field to the capital of the star field. It will be delivered in about a day by normal logistics."

"Oh?"

Chen Ming was a little excited. He had been waiting for this storm-class ship that he had invested a lot of money in for a long time.

Chen Ming also subconsciously glanced at Gamma B at this time.

While Chen Ming was busy these days, Gamma B had also completed several tasks issued by Yuhui internally and obtained some mechanical chips as task rewards.

It has reached the limit of Gamma-class AI and reached the Beta level, and it is in the process of replacing the core at this time.

"I know, I will make arrangements here."
