Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 126 Reverse Absorption, Growth of Spiritual Energy

When Chen Ming saw this scene, he couldn't say he was angry, but there was a suppressed emotion accumulating.

Since the day he talked with Bai Quan, everything the 14th Corps has done so far gave him the feeling that it was just pretending.

Although it seemed that they had made a lot of preparations, and they did fight with Yu Hui.

But they didn't do anything practical in the true sense.

No contact, no plan, no action.

Even Chen Ming only saw the fire of the spaceship explosion in space, and didn't even see the shadow of the rescue team and the rescue spaceship that should have landed on the planet.

No, they seemed to have done one thing.

When they couldn't beat Yu Hui and were ready to retreat, they fired three shots at Chen Ming, who was the rescue target.

I have to say that this is really a top-level rescue.

Even if Chen Ming, who has no tactical literacy at all, thinks, there is a better way than the 14th Corps.

That is, first contact him to ask him to provide some information, and at the same time be prepared to wait for rescue.

Then the fleet of the 14th Corps directly raided the galaxy based on the information he provided, and dealt with the relatively loose azimuth fleet inside the galaxy as soon as it arrived at the galaxy through the jump.

At the same time, the landing force was directly dispatched to land on the planet, find Chen Ming according to the coordinates, and quickly transfer to a cruiser-level spacecraft.

Then a jump, the mission was over.

If the action speed was fast enough, Yu Hui might not even react.

But this time the actions of the 14th Corps were very strange, as if their goal was not to save Chen Ming.

Inexplicably, they clashed with Yu Hui's battleship fleet.

Relying on the Yu Hui who had already run here and were controlled by him, Chen Ming could confirm that there were no battleship-level spacecraft in the galaxy.

In other words, the several Yu Hui radiation-level battleships that were bombarding the 14th Corps were all jumped from other galaxies.

But according to normal reason, it is normal for Yu Hui to prepare one or two battleships to provide support in various galaxies at any time.

But Yu Hui had a total of four battleships in the entire battle.

This was 100% caused by the 14th Corps delaying the battle for too long.

But there was really no need for a rescue mission to have such a large-scale battle. Chen Ming really couldn't understand why this was happening.

Chen Ming took a deep breath, thought about it and decided to forget it. If he couldn't understand it, he didn't understand it.

He didn't care about what happened to other people.

He only wanted to do three things now, to find out who arranged the stupid plan, to find out who gave the order to attack him, and to make the people who did these two things pay the price.

Chen Ming subconsciously wanted to write something new on his notepad in the computer of the Iron Ore.

But he suddenly realized that the Iron Ore was gone.

After suppressing the sudden irritation in his heart, Chen Ming could only remember these things in his mind.

At the same time, he continued to read the contents of the black box.

Let's see what happened to these three shells in the end that didn't destroy the institute, and see how the Iron Ore was destroyed.

At present, Yu Hui seemed to have no means to stop the Gauss shells that were already overhead.

But Chen Ming is still alive now, which means that something must have happened during this period of time to prevent the Gauss shells from landing.

Could it be that Yu Hui has some backup?

While Chen Ming was holding such doubts in his heart, he saw the most unexpected situation happen.

The Iron Ore, which had been paralyzed since the moment he fell into a coma, suddenly started to move on its own.

Chen Ming's spirit was tense all of a sudden.

Not only was he surprised, but also because of the tension and disbelief in Chen Ming's heart.

The sudden movement of the Iron Ore seemed dangerous to him.

Because with his ability, even if he was in a coma.

Unless someone walked directly to the spacecraft and manually controlled the spacecraft with the electronic equipment and mechanical system of the spacecraft.

Otherwise, any external means, such as hackers, would not be able to break through the highest authority he had.

And Yu Hui obviously had no chance to get on the Iron Ore, and he didn't dare to get on the Iron Ore because of Chen Ming's ability.

Not to mention the 14th Legion.

What exactly caused this?

Chen Ming frowned and watched the rest of the video.

As expected, the Iron Ore was destroyed by the Gauss cannon of the 14th Legion in the end.

In fact, Chen Ming had already made such a guess when he saw the Iron Ore take off, and the subsequent video recording simply confirmed this.

Chen Ming didn't care much. Anyway, he kept these things in mind, and he would definitely take revenge if he had the chance in the future.

Now, he still had to look for traces left by the Iron Ore when it took such actions to confirm that there would be no safety problems with the spacecraft controlled by his ability.

Chen Ming found the relevant content almost instantly.

However, at this time he discovered that the series of commands to control the Iron Ore to act after he fell into a coma appeared inexplicably in the computer of the Iron Ore, without any source.

It was the same as the remote commands Chen Ming usually gave to the Iron Ore.

But at this time he had fainted.

So, it was the Iron Ore itself that gave the order.

At this time, Chen Ming suddenly remembered the situation in his dream when he was in a coma.

Although he couldn't be sure of the specific time, he had a feeling.

The time when the Iron Ore was destroyed happened to be the time when he inexplicably got on the Iron Ore to crush the person transformed from the giant nerve in his dream.

Even though the time in the dream does not correspond to the real time.

Because when Chen Ming got on the Iron Ore Ship, it was near the end of his dream.

Outside, the Iron Ore was destroyed not long after he passed out of coma.

But even so, Chen Ming still believed that these two things happened at the same point in time.

Think about it this way and connect these two things.

It’s hard to say that it’s because he controlled the spacecraft for a long time, and then the existence of such metaphysical phenomena as psychic energy caused the Iron Ore to have its own consciousness, right?

Chen Ming thought about it carefully, but still wasn't sure about this idea.

After all, there is a possibility that the nerve he saw before he fell into coma burrowed into his body.

This triggers some of the body's defense mechanisms.

Allowing his subconscious to instinctively make some actions to protect himself even in a coma, such as now activating the Iron Ore.

To be honest, it wouldn't be too surprising if something happened to a psychic being.

Psychic instincts and so on are also acceptable.

Even if he really thought this way, Chen Ming suddenly felt that it was entirely possible that the Iron Mine had its own consciousness.

This could even explain what happened in his previous dream.

The Iron Mine was destroyed outside, so the consciousness of the Iron Mine entered Chen Ming's mind along with his spiritual energy.

Appeared in the dream and helped him crush that nerve.

The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. However, no matter how he thought about it, it was still too metaphysical. He had no theoretical basis to support such speculation.

Unless, go back and ask your boss if there are any similar cases.

There's no point in getting hung up here now.

I can't go back in the dream, and I can't repair the Iron Ore after it's broken like this, let alone recover the "consciousness" that I don't know exists.

What's more, both Chen Ming himself and the wreckage of the Iron Mine are on Yuhui's territory.

Before you get out, thinking about this is just a waste of time.

However, when Chen Ming just glanced at the wreckage of the Iron Mine that was collected by the afterglow, he did find something that could be recycled.

For example, there are a large number of damaged armor plates, hull materials, and things originally stored in the storage compartment.

There are also some devices.

Wait, equipment?

Chen Ming suddenly noticed the equipment that had been collected by the afterglow and was still intact when the Iron Ore was destroyed.

But if he remembered correctly, not all the equipment on the Iron Ore had been modified by him.

In other words, when these things leave the spacecraft, Chen Ming will lose control of them.

But it's different now. Regardless of whether he has come into contact with all the equipment on the Iron Mine, he can now directly open the panels of these equipment and perform repairs, modifications, etc. on them.

Could it be that... he can control any device he comes into contact with at will?

Chen Ming opened his eyes and looked at the psychic device where he was lying.

Immediately afterwards, he actually opened the panel of the device he had touched.

The name of this device is [Qiling Nerve Extraction Device].

Just like all the spaceships that Chen Ming once controlled, and all the things that once appeared on his spaceships,

Chen Ming can modify it or directly control its operation through consciousness.

what is this? A blessing in disguise?

Not only has the spiritual power increased significantly, but there is even a new ability to directly control mechanical equipment like a spaceship.

It's just that although Chen Ming can control the operation of the equipment, he still doesn't understand the working principle of the equipment, and he doesn't know the process and purpose of the equipment's operation.

Without the assistance of a manual, he still couldn't use the device. The most he could do was press the start and stop buttons remotely.

It didn't look like Yu Hui would give him instructions.

Or he can only figure it out on his own.

But Chen Ming can be sure of one thing.

Sunset's purpose must be his psychic powers.

Because what they were doing before made him feel dangerous.

It shows that Yu Hui doesn't care about his life safety, nor does he care about him as a person.

All they care about is his spiritual energy.

Therefore, looking at the name of this device, Chen Ming can actually guess it.

The spiritual nerve is the source of psionic energy.

After extracting the spiritual nerve, Chen Ming's spiritual energy was completely in Yu Hui's hands.

The nerve that penetrated his brain before was most likely a spiritual enlightenment nerve.

It's just that Chen Ming doesn't understand now. The effect of the equipment is to extract spiritual nerves, so why should he insert another spiritual nerve into his brain?

This still seems to be a necessary step to start the device.

Chen Ming thought about it and suddenly thought that this spiritual nerve seemed to be connected to the medicine bottle where it was placed.

It was not supposed to break, but instead it broke after being stimulated and burrowed directly into his brain.

If Chen Ming had not stimulated it before, it should have continued to maintain the connection with the medicine bottle, while getting into Chen Ming's brain and extracting Chen Ming's spiritual nerve.

This should be considered a reasonable explanation.

However, there is still a problem that bothers Chen Ming.

Just take it out and then you can?

The specialness of his spiritual power is there, so he can't transplant it to others, right?

Let’s not talk about whether the transplant is done casually, and what is the success rate of the transplant.

Even if it can really be transplanted, Chen Ming's spiritual power will be extremely dangerous to Yu Hui no matter who he puts it on.

Since it’s not good for anyone, then what is Yu Hui doing for this purpose?

Afterhui, these tin cans can't be used to transplant spiritual nerves, right?

Or is there some special device that can directly allow a certain Afterglow individual to indirectly control the Ling Nerve through the device?

But Yuhui has a social structure similar to humans, and there are also high-level people.

The upper-level Yuhui relies on Chen Ming's spiritual power to control the lower-level Yuhui. Is this really feasible in Yuhui's society?

Or is it that Yuhui can brainwash his own people, so that the individual responsible for controlling Chen Ming's spiritual nerve can only think about Yuhui's future?

Chen Ming couldn't figure it out. After all, there were too many possibilities.

And this is something that Yu Hui needs to consider. He has no time to think about what will happen after his spiritual nerve is extracted. Isn't this a mistake?

Might as well think about something else.

For example, how should he prepare a new way to escape from Yuhui now?

Chen Ming now has two options. One is to get a ship and modify it to have an unstable hyperspace channel jump engine.

Then go up and make a random jump to see where destiny will send him.

As for how this ship came.

Chen Ming now controls so many Yuhui individuals, and he can definitely get several ships by just thinking of ways.

Speaking of which, Chen Ming suddenly remembered the Buffalo-class ship that Huihuang gave him before.

Although the Iron Ore was gone, he had never moved the Buffalo before and was parked outside the research institute.

And it's not just the ship itself, there is also a lot of materials on the ship, as well as the prisoners of the Fourteenth Legion that Chen Ming captured before.

Chen Ming immediately took a look at the buffalo and found that it was still parked intact outside the research institute, and there were no changes inside or outside the ship.

Although they learned that the buffalo was safe and the captives were not missing.

But Chen Ming doesn't want to think about how to deal with these prisoners of the Fourteenth Army now.

The most important thing for him now is to consider a way to escape.

It was impossible for Yuhui to say that they could not see the buffalo, but they did not do anything to the buffalo.

Maybe he didn't pay attention, maybe he forgot, or maybe he thought that an ordinary cargo ship didn't have the ability to resist.

But the most likely possibility is that this buffalo is a trap left by Yu Hui specifically to catch Chen Mingyu.

In short, if Chen Ming wanted a safe and stable means of escape, then the possibility would definitely not be on this buffalo, but somewhere else.

Therefore, Chen Ming's second choice for escape path is still with Gamma Z.

Chen Ming directly opened the panel of the controlled Afterglow individuals and roughly counted the number of Afterglow individuals he currently controlled.

The number of these Afterglow individuals has not decreased in batches, indicating that the Afterglow he controls has not been exposed yet.

However, Chen Ming did not see the Alpha level afterglow during the inventory.

It was indeed forced outside the battle line on its way over and was destroyed by the offensive of the Fourteenth Legion.

In other words, the galaxy where the crystal crab planet is located now does not have an Alpha-level afterglow sitting around.

Afterglow will most likely make up for one when he looks back.

After entering a galaxy completely controlled by Chen Ming, the Alpha-level Afterglow sent by Afterglow will definitely not be able to escape Chen Ming's clutches.

However, it is not certain how long it will take Yuhui to do this.

So if Chen Ming wants to leave quickly, he definitely can't bet his hopes on this.

You still have to contact Gamma Z now.

Chen Ming looked at Gamma Z and found that it was not in the galaxy where the crystal crab planet was located, but in another galaxy closest to this galaxy.

Chen Ming directly asked it through his consciousness: "What are you doing?"

Gamma Z was not surprised that Chen Ming suddenly contacted it, and replied seriously: "Ready to rescue you."

"Do you still believe I'm alive?"

"I wouldn't believe you if you were really dead."

Chen Ming was choked by Gamma Z, but what Gamma Z said was fine.

If he dies then his psychic powers will definitely fail.

Now that there are no psychic restrictions and Gamma Z is free, there is no need to risk being killed by other Afterglows to save him.

Chen Ming continued to ask: "What are the specific plans?"

Gamma Z immediately replied: "There are also Alpha-level individuals in other galaxies. I am trying to think of ways to speed up the spread of individuals and forcefully create accidents to contact the Alpha-level individuals in this galaxy."

"There's a lot of risk involved."

"But a cruiser-class or above ship with a jump engine is the only possibility to rescue you."

What Gamma Z said made Chen Ming feel at ease. At least it didn't need him to worry about it at all.

"As long as you understand, just ask if you need anything."

"knew."

Contact with Gamma Z is lost.

Chen Ming continued to think about his current situation.

Since Yu Hui's side has already broken up with each other, the plan to find a way to extract the spiritual nerve for the second time is definitely on the way.

But for him, it seems that the stable escape plan from Yuhui can only be placed on Gamma Z, who is trying hard.

So what he still needs to do now is to save his life before Gamma Z completes its plan.

After much deliberation, he finally had to study this device.

At least when Yuhui is causing trouble, let the equipment appear to be functioning normally so that Yuhui won't be suspicious.

But before Chen Ming did this, he suddenly felt that his mental power seemed to have changed again.

Chen Ming closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a while, and found that the strength of his psychic energy was still continuing to grow.

It was obvious that he had not done any exercise, nor had he received any mental stimulation.

Just as Chen Ming was conducting a second check with some confusion, he suddenly discovered that the number of controllable spaceships on his panel had increased by one, from 10 to 11.

The changes in the panel confirmed that Chen Ming's feeling about the growth of his mental power was not an illusion, but that his mental power was really growing.

And Chen Ming also immediately discovered the exact reason for his increase in mental power.

In a sense, his current mental strength is not growing, but his body is adapting.

Adapt to the enhancement of his spiritual energy and mental power after absorbing the spiritual nerve in reverse.

That is to say, Chen Ming's mental power has actually increased a lot, but his body did not adapt to the increase quickly during the coma.

That's why the current situation appears, which seems to be strengthening.

Generally speaking, it's almost the same. In short, becoming stronger is definitely a good thing for Chen Ming.

After Chen Ming had the initiative, he quickly adapted to this enhanced mental power.

Then Chen Ming discovered that he had a new ability.

It is the ability to create that he has always been obsessed with.

Chen Ming no longer needs to use something as a template to achieve an effect similar to manufacturing through transformation ability.

From now on, as long as Chen Ming masters the method of manufacturing, he can directly use mental energy and materials to create everything he needs out of thin air.

Chen Ming immediately tried it, of course not on his own side, after all, he must have many afterglows staring at him now.

So after thinking about it, he chose to do something on the pirate space station, on the engineering ship he had encountered before.

Because at this time, the factory director and Lao Wu happened to be driving this engineering ship out on a mission.

And there happened to be only two of them on this ship now, or in other words, only two of them dared to sail this engineering ship that Chen Ming had touched.

Maybe he can also add a bald head. After all, he took the initiative to remind Chen Ming of the military's little actions before, and Chen Ming still has a certain affection for him.

Speaking of the bald head, Chen Ming suddenly thought that he should express his feelings towards the bald head?

After all, they took a certain risk to help him, so it would be unjustifiable for him to not show any sign of it.

Before, it was because he encountered a lot of things all the way and didn't have time. Now that he is free and has remembered it, he has to make some compensation.

It just so happens that Lao Wu is in charge of his card right now. He can just talk to Lao Wu later when the business is done.

Chen Ming thought about it quickly, and then directly took over the voice broadcast system of the engineering ship.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

The two people who were controlling the engineering ship were stunned for a moment, and they immediately realized what was going on.

"Xiao Ming? You are still alive!"

"Yes, I encountered a little accident here, but I shouldn't die for the time being."

"When you look back, you should hear the news from the Fourteenth Legion that the mission failed and that I am dead, so remember to pretend to be more serious and treat me as dead."

The factory director asked with some confusion: "Is there an accident with the 14th Army Corps?"

"If I had to say, my assessment is that it was not an accident, it was intentional."

Chen Ming quickly explained to the two of them the situation he encountered, and then said: "There must be a problem with the 14th Army Corps."

"But I will find a way to solve this matter myself. If they want to kill me, it will not be a problem that can be solved through normal communication."

"So you'd better not get involved."

The factory director shook his head slightly and said, "We have been involved from the beginning."

Old Wu also casually echoed: "As long as you start taking action against the Fourteenth Army, we will definitely be the first ones to be implicated."

"Then what do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas. We won't be afraid at all if the Fourteenth Legion comes looking for us. What is this thing I haven't seen before?"

Chen Ming was silent for a while and said, "Thank you."

"But we'll talk about this later. I want to test my psychic abilities now."

"Are there any new features?"

"right."

As Chen Ming spoke, he created a lightweight exoskeleton armor directly on the engineering ship.

The mental energy consumption of the entire process is at least five times that of transformation.

"Ouch."

Old Wu circled around the exoskeleton armor that appeared out of thin air a few times, and then started to touch it habitually.

Chen Ming had no intention of stopping it, but instead let Old Wu put it on directly.

And as before, while Lao Wu was wearing it, more modifications were made to the armor.

The whole process went very smoothly, without any impact due to distance or being touched by other people.

After the test, Chen Mingyou and Factory Director Lao Wu had a brief chat and ended the communication.

After all, he still has important things to do now and doesn't have much time to waste.

Just when Chen Ming ended the communication, a voice suddenly rang in his ear, inside the institute: "Mr. Chen Ming."

Although it was a homogeneous mechanical voice without emotion, Chen Ming recognized it at once.

It was a brilliant voice.
