Chapter 131 Airport Pickup

After Chen Ming had just finished talking with Huihuang, and Yuhui's senior executives had discussed Chen Ming's plan with each other.

At the 14th Corps' base.

On the apron next to the headquarters building.

Tang Shi, the nominal commander-in-chief of the joint fleet, was walking down the shuttle that had just docked here with a pale face.

Standing on the edge of the apron were a large number of well-trained guards, as well as Bai Quan, who was protected by a large number of guards.

Bai Quan was wearing the special uniform of the 14th Corps at this time. Through the collar, you can see that his uniform was full of bandages.

He stood straight, his face was like ice with sharp blades.

When Tang Shi got off the boat and walked towards the headquarters building, he walked in front of him.

Bai Quan's hoarse tone was cold because of his injury, and he said to Tang Shi word by word: "Are you back? Let's go."

He turned around directly after he said that, and did not take Tang Shi's existence into consideration at all.

Tang Shi did not dare to have any thoughts, and his mind was only filled with fear of Bai Quan.

But he still forced himself to ask, "Where are we going?"

Bai Quan, the supreme commander of the 14th Legion in this star field, paused, and continued to walk forward without looking back and said, "My office."

"Since you are back, then follow the procedures. You need to report your mission to me."

"You should have learned this."

Bai Quan's suddenly heavier tone made Tang Shi nervous again. He stammered, "Well...well, yes, I have learned it."

Bai Quan did not go into whether what Tang Shi said was true.

He continued to say to Tang Shi like a cold machine, "You need to report whether the mission objectives have been achieved or not, and report the losses, including the loss of spacecraft and the loss of missing personnel and casualties."

"And what did you do during the entire mission."

"You were elected after I was accidentally seriously injured and unconscious. You won't let me down, right?"

Bai Quan's voice became lower and lower, as if because of his unhealed injuries.

But this low and hoarse voice was increasingly deafening in Tang Shi's ears, making him dare not think about what would happen next.

Bai Quan suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Shi, and the reflection under his glasses made Tang Shi unable to open his eyes.

When Tang Shi closed his eyes for a moment and looked up again.

He seemed to see his body reflected in Bai Quan's sharp eyes.

Tang Shi suddenly felt like he was falling into an ice cave, and his limbs were so stiff that he didn't know how to walk.

After noticing that Tang Shi's movements slowed down, the guards around Bai Quan also slowed down immediately.

They directly pushed away the guards who were protecting Tang Shi with brute force, and half-carried him to catch up with Bai Quan.

No one dared to resist.

At the same time.

Zhang Feng, who was on the spaceship behind, was standing by the porthole of the shuttle.

He was watching everything that was happening outside, and at the same time, he was holding the terminal to communicate with others.

The communication was quickly connected, and a generous middle-aged male voice sounded from the terminal: "Speak."

Zhang Feng was slightly relieved after hearing this voice.

As long as the man who had not given him additional instructions on Tang Shi's mission before departure answered the phone now, everything would be fine.

However, he did not show any special performance on the surface. He just explained the mission normally and said: "Lieutenant General, we have returned to the 14th Corps base now. Tang Shi was taken away by Bai Quan directly after getting off the boat."

The middle-aged man called Lieutenant General by Zhang Feng did not mean to blame Zhang Feng at this time. He said: "This is normal. Now the news that we have returned in defeat has begun to spread outside."

"Because someone suffered too much loss in your mission, he has told Bai Quan everything in advance."

Zhang Feng followed the words of the Lieutenant General and said: "Is it done by Speed ​​Technology?"

The Lieutenant General paused and said: "Don't worry about it. We just need to take care of ourselves now."

"I know this mission is not your problem, but since it has happened, we must lie dormant for a while to avoid being completely liquidated."

"We will decline a little, but it is impossible to fall completely."

"But I want to know, is there any good news in this entire mission?"

"Yes."

Zhang Feng sent a video along the encrypted communication line.

The video content is the scene where the last ruler-class ship that stayed alone attacked the positioning coordinate signals continuously sent out by the planet where Chen Ming was.

Although this video is due to the various energy fluctuations of the chaotic battlefield and the electronic interference of the afterglow fleet.

It is also the last video of the ruler-class that was broadcasted in real time through a remote signal connection, so the picture is very blurry.

But through the sensors of the ruler-class, it can still be seen that the Iron Ore was completely destroyed and the building next to it was hit by the Gauss cannon.

As the Iron Ore exploded and the debris scattered, the research institute was hit by flying building debris and the smoke and dust raised by the Gauss cannon was completely covered.

The sensor of this ruler-class ship was also completely interfered and cut off, and it was also destroyed.

The video ends here.

The tone of the lieutenant general sounded a little relieved and said: "Okay, this is the only good news now."

"Sky Steel can't be taken back now, but at least we have to give an explanation to those who have been cooperating with us."

"Chen Ming's death is the best explanation."

"Okay, go and help Tang Shi out."

"We will use our connections to delay Baiquan's investigation of the results of this mission. As long as the people are transferred away, Tang Shi will not die."

"This time he is considered a failure. He is not worth our training at all."

"In the future, just listen to what others say about Tang Shi, don't believe it all, especially her."

The lieutenant general's words were meaningful, and Zhang Feng didn't dare to respond too much, just agreed vaguely.

The lieutenant general didn't care about this, but comforted Zhang Feng; "I know your difficulties, but some things can't be changed."

"I understand."

"Well, and remember to come to me directly after you bring your people back from the base. I have something to tell you."

The communication was hung up.

The lieutenant general who was communicating with Zhang Feng put down the terminal and looked up at a woman with a frosty face standing next to his office.

The woman was about the same age as him and looked slightly older than him.

Obviously, it was the person he had just hinted at in his words, and Zhang Feng didn't want to contact.

Although the lieutenant general mentioned her to others in front of her, and his words were not very polite, she didn't have any direct opinions about the lieutenant general.

She just asked the lieutenant general: "Are you sure Chen Ming is dead?"

The lieutenant general pushed the terminal on the desk and said: "The video is here."

"Chen Ming is dead if he is hit directly by such power. Even if he survives, Yu Hui is definitely not easy to get along with."

"We launched such a large-scale rescue, Yu Hui must be very wary of him. He can't come back alive."

The middle-aged woman frowned, copied a copy of the video and left the office.

Her eyes were full of distrust, and she also left a sentence.

"I will confirm whether Chen Ming is dead or not."

The lieutenant general looked at her back and shook his head.

As the joint fleet returned to the 14th Corps, a week passed quickly.

The news of the defeat of the battle between the Galo star field and the Yu Hui star field had spread to the pirate space station closest to the star field border.

And some details of the mission that caused this battle were somehow spread.

For example, the cause of the mission was that the protagonist of the mission, Chen Ming, alone called the Yuhui Fleet to rescue him, and a frigate successfully escaped from the pursuit of the corrupt military cruiser fleet of the original star zone.

He was rescued by the newly stationed 14th Corps, Tachyon Technology, Xinda Company and the joint forces of the star zone government, and the degree of attention was fully taken.

Needless to say, the speed of news spread in places like the Pirate Space Station.

Soon, there were rumors about Chen Ming in the entire Galo Star Zone, and even in several neighboring star zones.

Of course, the content of the rumors changed during the transmission process.

For example, the final failure of the mission and the cause of Chen Ming's death were not the wrong command of the commander of the 14th Corps, nor was it that Chen Ming was killed when he was forced to evacuate.

Instead, Chen Ming had been rescued, but a large amount of unexpected support from Yuhui arrived and attacked the fleet before the fleet evacuated, resulting in Chen Ming's accidental death.

At the same time, it also led to the complete failure of the mission.

This statement saved some face for the 14th Corps, and also added some legendary color to Chen Ming's experience.

Because no one knew who spread Chen Ming's ability.

How could a psychic who could control several warships and increase the performance of warships be killed by Yuhui under normal circumstances?

So after hearing such rumors, some people thought that Chen Ming did die accidentally as said, and some people thought that Chen Ming was tortured in Yuhui's territory and died of serious injuries after being rescued.

Of course, there are conspiracy theories, believing that someone in the empire thought Chen Ming's psychic power was too dangerous so he was killed directly.

However, these statements did not spread due to the intentional restrictions of public opinion.

Instead, Chen Ming's previous experience was dug out.

The whole process from the mining space station to the pirate space station to the Yuhui star field was spread.

The inexplicable destruction of the mining space station of the Sinda Company and the embezzlement of the sky steel production share for decades.

All of these stimulated the nerves of people in the relatively calm edge star field of the Galo star field, and focused people's attention on these places.

I don't know whether it was the company's handiwork, in order to put pressure on the 14th Corps through public opinion, so that they would give out the sky steel they should give.

Or was it the 14th Corps themselves, in order to divert the outside world's attention from the failure of their actions, and focus all on the original star zone military that had been driven away.

But in short, their goal was achieved.

After the rumors gradually spread, the main content basically focused on the corruption of the star zone army and the fall of Chen Ming, a rising star of the future mankind.

Before this rumor became completely popular.

The factory director who had a close relationship with Chen Ming had already received the news from the chairman in advance.

It was said that the 14th Corps' mission failed and Chen Ming died.

So before this outrageous rumor spread, the factory director was forced to have a gloomy face all day long.

Old Wu was similar, going to bars every day to drink to relieve his sorrow.

Of course, in fact, both of them knew the real situation, and the sad look was pretended to be seen by others who were monitoring them.

Old Wu pretended to be quite happy.

After the news spread for a few days, the limelight passed.

The military personnel of the original star region who had been taken away a long time ago were tried, and the results of the trial were announced.

In addition, Chen Ming, the rising star, completely fell and was no longer known.

The factory director gradually relaxed and no longer had to keep a straight face every day.

Old Wu was still the same as before, but he was pretending at the beginning, and he was really sad that he could not be a pendulum at the end.

He could not accept the fact that the news about Chen Ming had completely disappeared after just a few days.

However, after all, Chen Ming's ability has not yet been fully revealed in front of everyone, and it just seems that he has great potential.

In various aspects, such as spacecraft driving and combat command, although there are not many individuals who show potential, they are not few, and there are also some who died.

But no matter how promising a person is, he is dead.

No one cares about a dead person.

Even if a big shot in the prosperous star field knows the existence of Chen Ming and knows how great his ability is, it is useless.

The responsibility should be pursued to the Fourteenth Legion, which has nothing to do with ordinary people, so the news will naturally gradually die.

The rumors about Chen Ming's psychic power were only spread to the two surrounding star regions.

From then on, the rumors about Chen Ming would only be mentioned occasionally when something related to Yuhui appeared.

This is actually what Chen Ming wants to see the most.

It would be best if everyone forgot about him.

When Chen Ming appears again in the future, someone will be unable to sleep.

It would be better to say that if someone still thinks about him now, he will be unable to sleep.

If the ability to control three Yuhui star systems is known now.

Either the Fourteenth Corps will guard against this news and never leak any information, just to kill Chen Ming and eliminate future troubles.

Or the entire empire will pay attention to Chen Ming, who is rumored to be a top psychic, and Chen Ming will be brought back by the empire with all its strength.

The Fourteenth Corps may be liquidated, but this also means that Chen Ming may not be free for the rest of his life.

No matter which result is, he doesn't want to see it.

So it's best if others forget about his affairs.

But it seems that this situation will not happen.

After all, Chen Ming had learned about the whole situation from Old Wu.

And the few days he stayed in Yuhui were peaceful and calm, without any sign that someone was going to look for him.

All aspects of the work are now progressing steadily.

The expansion of Yuhui controlled by Chen Ming in the Yuhui Galaxy has also made new progress.

The semi-industrial and semi-military galaxy located on the border between Yuhui and the mechanical race, where Gamma Z had stayed before, has completely fallen into his hands.

The military strength, mainly armed ships, has made great progress, which will definitely play a significant role when Chen Ming leaves the Yuhui star field later.

As Huihuang said that the date for the completion of the artificial awakening nerve they were preparing was getting closer.

Chen Ming has also begun to let Gamma Z and Huihuang speed up the control of other Yuhui individuals within the acceptable risk range.

Before the final moment, the more control the better.

The more Yuhui power he has under his command, the more confident he will be when he is exposed.

Although no matter how many people are controlled, it is impossible to compete with the entire Yuhui in the Yuhui Star Region in the remaining ten days, but Chen Ming's goal was not this from the beginning, so it is not a big problem.

In addition.

In the past few days, Chen Ming tried to communicate with Huihuang every day in front of other Yuhui, and asked Huihuang for the Liar Stone and Whispering Stone that were stolen from him before, and also asked for a new exploration ship.

However, after Huihuang asked the higher-ups, the result was that neither of these two would be given.

However, Yuhui was very generous in other aspects of technology and gave a lot.

Come to think of it, after all, the spirit stone may affect their second experiment again.

As for the exploration ship, Yu Hui certainly doesn't want to see Chen Ming's spaceship crash into the dome outside again.

On the contrary, how much can Chen Ming learn in the last twenty days even if he is allowed to learn freely?

Things like technology may be relatively simple at the beginning, but the deeper it goes, the more difficult it will be, and the longer it will take to learn.

At least for serious people and serious Yu Hui.

As for Chen Ming, he can only say that his spiritual power has made considerable progress after absorbing the spiritual nerve.

His learning efficiency has also increased again.

After Chen Ming and Huihuang confirmed it, the learning efficiency has exceeded most of the beta-level Yu Hui and reached the edge of the alpha-level Yu Hui.

You must know that each alpha-level Yu Hui can be comparable to a top-level computer and has the computing power to control at least one galaxy industry.

It is already a very abnormal thing that Chen Ming can catch up with Yu Hui in the field that Yu Hui is best at as a human.

In addition, Yu Hui gave Hui Huang a lot of authority, even if it was because there was too much to learn.

Chen Ming could also continue to rely on Hui Huang's current authority to obtain other technical knowledge that Hui Huang did not know.

In addition, Chen Ming could always feel the location of the Liar Stone, which was in the basement of the institute.

So under the influence of various factors, he did not really force it.

When he was about to leave, he could take it away at such a close distance.

So, after Chen Ming's two requests were rejected in succession and Hui Huang successfully appeased him on the surface.

Although Chen Ming pretended to be a slacker and no longer helped Yu Hui, he was just a parasite.

But he still worked and studied normally every day.

In addition, he found that the work area of ​​the institute was repaired overtime, and the experimental area and research area next to it were also available.

However, the Qiling Nerve Extractor inside was moved away one night.

The location where it was moved was still in the basement of the institute.

Chen Ming didn't care about it. After all, Yu Hui could do whatever he wanted with the device. If he could start it, he would lose.

In the past few days, Chen Ming not only studied and worked, but also secretly cooperated with Huihuang and Gamma Z to deal with other Yu Hui.

He was also researching new scientific research projects.

The multi-layer shield he had researched before was used with the Iron Ore, which moved on its own for some unknown reason and could also use his psychic power.

It successfully allowed a frigate-level ship to block the attack of the cruiser's large weapons.

Although it was mainly due to Chen Ming's psychic power, the shield did work.

Otherwise, the shield of the Iron Ore would have been completely shattered in the first attack. How could there be a second chance to deflect the attack and a third chance to help the institute and Chen Ming bear the attack.

Therefore, Chen Ming has already seen the importance of the shield, so the research must be studied.

The new high-strength shield must be put online, but he is still planning the current research ideas, which will take some time.

However, the main thing Chen Ming is doing now is to learn some additional industrial production technologies related to the colonial technology given by Huihuang.

Chen Ming has already talked with Huihuang about his future plans, and Huihuang supports the idea of ​​the colony.

At the same time, Huihuang also knows the effect of Chen Ming's ability.

Therefore, some equipment technologies that are difficult to move through Chen Ming's spiritual power and difficult for Huihuang to produce personally, with complex production processes or long production processes, will be handed over to Chen Ming to learn.

At that time, Chen Ming's manufacturing capabilities, which have not played a key role so far, will be put to good use.

It seems that everything is moving in a good direction.

And today, that is, the eighth day after Chen Ming and Yu Hui tore their faces, they both knew that the other party must have some ideas in their hearts.

The factory director contacted Chen Ming early in the morning using the terminal that Chen Ming had prepared for them before, and the authority was completely in Chen Ming's hands.

He said that the boss had returned and sent over an extra terminal that Chen Ming had prepared before.

The factory director and the boss had sufficient reasons to meet and would not say anything to expose Chen Ming.

So Chen Ming contacted the boss directly.

The boss, who was lying behind the counter of the hardware store as usual, noticed that the terminal that the factory manager had just sent over began to vibrate.

He showed a little relief on his face and said directly to the terminal: "Xiao Ming, I just heard that you died two days ago, and you are still alive?"

"Just lucky, no, it can't be considered lucky. At the beginning, I was chased by the military of the star zone, and in the end a Ruler blocked me."

"Now I have run to Yuhui's side, and in the end a Ruler came to kill me. This is really not good luck."

The boss obviously didn't expect this strange coincidence.

But after thinking that Chen Ming was talking to him without any reason, he just smiled and continued: "At least you are still alive, right? And seeing your current condition, you should have a way to escape."

"Well, although my previous plan was ruined by the sneak attack of the 14th Corps, I have already made a new plan."

The boss did not ask Chen Ming how he planned to escape, but directly asked the key point of the matter.

"So what are your plans after you get out?"
