Chapter 138 Changes

Since Chen Ming asked this question directly in the communication channel.

Huihuang also replied directly in the communication channel: "We plan to discuss it later. It will take some time. Please wait patiently."

However, Huihuang still gave a more detailed reason through Chen Ming's psychic power in private: "Because the spiritual nerve extractor in the basement of the institute is something that the top leaders absolutely do not want to lose at present."

"So our top leaders are considering whether to destroy the entire cloning institute including the equipment directly, or to find a way to rescue the equipment and then deal with the problem."

"The topic we are currently discussing is more inclined to the latter."

Yu Hui's approach made Chen Ming, a human, unable to help but say: "It's already this time. You also know the reason why the empire banned cloning experiments before. As a result, you don't want to find a way to deal with it quickly, and you are still entangled in this?"

And when Chen Ming said this, he always had a feeling in his heart.

That is, Yu Hui's thoughts and situations may have happened before.

Maybe in the past, when the cloning experiments in the human empire also had problems.

Because of the existence of this thing, all the experimenters died, but because the value of the instruments and equipment was too high.

So the relevant person in charge has been struggling whether to destroy these "psychic creatures" and the equipment together.

Eventually, the situation became uncontrollable.

Although this is just Chen Ming's guess, it seems so far.

If the problem that cloning will eventually cause is only as serious as the huge heart in front of him, then as long as it can be handled in time, it should not lead to the entire empire banning cloning experiments.

So, either the situation in the past is the same as he thought, and the situation is uncontrollable.

Or the cloning experiment has more terrible consequences.

But what the specific situation is, it depends on whether there are people who are familiar with history and have a certain status to verify it.

However, there is no movement from the boss for the time being, probably sleeping, and it seems that we have to wait for a while.

Chen Ming doesn't care now. What kind of attitude Yu Hui has has nothing to do with him. Anyway, if something goes wrong, it will not be him who suffers, but Yu Hui himself.

Huihuang actually has similar ideas to Chen Ming. It also knows that it must be handled quickly, but the top management is still struggling, and there are obviously reasons for them.

So Huihuang explained to Chen Ming directly: "It may be because the only valuable thing we have now is the Qiling Nerve Extractor."

"We don't have a second extractor at the moment, and even if we do, it is impossible to send it to this star field again."

"If the only extractor is damaged in the process of handling this incident, it means that we have lost the opportunity to obtain your Qiling Nerve."

"We have been preparing for a very long time, and even fought two large-scale battles with battleships for you and the human fleet."

"Although we won both battles, the losses in the battles were real. With so many losses in front, we can't just give up this device casually."

This is the truth, and Chen Ming knows it, but he can't understand it at all.

"Don't tell the other Yuhui what I'm going to say next. Just think of it as me just saying it because I can't stand it."

"Got it."

Chen Ming exhaled and said to Huihuang: "Although I am in conflict with your Yuhui now, I still have to say that we should prioritize things."

"The reasons that made the human empire completely ban cloning experiments are already in front of you. Are you really not afraid of problems?"

"Now we are trying to delay time until the second Qiling Nerve Extractor is delivered?"

Huanghuang continued to say to Chen Ming in a standard Yuhui way of thinking: "It is unacceptable for us to just continue to delay time."

"If we lose the Qiling Nerve Extractor, we will only have two choices."

"One is to kill you directly with violent means to completely cut off the idea of ​​Qiling Nerve."

"The other is to use equipment such as a cryogenic hibernation chamber to monitor you. Lock it up, keep it or transport it directly to the main star field, and wait for us to find the second spiritual nerve extractor. "

"The previous method is too costly for us, and there are too many accidents that may occur during the execution of the latter method."

"You and I are now in an open hostile relationship."

"And I am just the lubricant on the axle, so that your daily communication relationship with us is not so rigid."

"And we all know that you can't give up the chance of survival and wait for death because of my existence. You didn't commit suicide because you must have more ideas."

"We both want to gain benefits from each other, but we can't directly conflict because the time has not come."

"Although what you have prepared before the last moment is not clear to our top leaders."

"But they know that if they continue to delay, some problems will definitely occur."

Huihuang finally concluded: "It is because of your existence that our top leaders absolutely cannot give up this spiritual awakening nerve extractor."

When Chen Ming was thinking before, he was thinking according to normal human thinking, and indeed ignored the fact that he himself was also a problem for Yu Hui.

If Yu Hui were to take his influence into account, then their behavior would barely make sense.

If cloning technology is banned because its consequences have a very serious impact on the entire empire.

Then Chen Ming also has a similar effect on the entire Yu Hui.

So the troubles caused by Chen Ming and Yu Hui's own cloning technology are actually the same in a sense.

At least the final result may be the same, and Yu Hui will be finished.

So in these two things, Yu Hui is more inclined to choose Chen Ming.

After all, humans have used cloning technology before, and are still alive and well, which means that there must be a way to deal with the consequences of cloning technology.

But Yu Hui has never heard that humans have encountered a psychic who can completely control the human group.

So if we talk about which of the two things is more difficult to solve, Chen Ming, who has never had a similar precedent, is indeed more troublesome.

However, Huihuang suddenly added: "But we can't completely rule out that our top leaders chose to deal with this psychic creature."

"If they really give up the spiritual nerve extractor, there is a high probability that they will act on you in advance."

Chen Ming recalled and said: "I remember I asked you before..."

"Yes, I have been preparing like this."

"That's it, before you act, you will definitely be able to understand the situation faster than me and jump to rescue, but my life is in your hands now."

Huanghuang did not directly say that Chen Ming could take over the Huihuang-class cruiser it controlled at any time.

It could hear that Chen Ming's words were just casually said, and it also knew that Chen Ming's life was actually always in his own hands.

After a moment of silence, Huihuang spoke again: "I just received an order."

"Our top management said that they decided to keep the Qiling Neural Extractor and will not take action against you for the time being."

"The top management's opinion is that obtaining a second Qiling Neural Extractor and future events are too unstable. We must focus on what we have now, not what we will have in the future."

Chen Ming did not comment and asked: "So what are you going to do?"

"We currently have a two-stage plan."

"In the first stage, try to send robots to clean up the flesh and blood tissue at the entrance and exit of the Clone Research Institute, and enter the Clone Research Institute through passages or additional roads."

"After reacquiring the Qiling Neural Extractor, use high-powered weapons to clean the ground."

"If it fails, go to the second stage and send a cruiser-class mining ship into the planet to destroy the surface."

"Clear all the soil and rock layers above the underground Clone Research Institute to facilitate follow-up weapons to clean up the Clone Research Institute."

"Doing so risks destroying the Qiling Neural Extractor, so it will only be implemented if the first stage plan fails."

This plan sounds fine.

"So what's your mission?"

"Due to the interference of psychic fluctuations in the research institute, any robot or spacecraft must be controlled by our individuals."

"But you are still here, you are a threat to all Yuhui individuals, and forcing you to leave now is not the right approach."

"So the mission given to me by the top management is to make you aware of the dangers below through communication and let you leave here."

"Okay."

Huanghui's words made Chen Ming think seriously.

Although he really wanted to find out what happened in the cloning laboratory now.

But if he continued to stay here and interfere with Yuhui's work, it would definitely cause a conflict between him and Yuhui.

It would not be a good thing if he broke up with Yuhui in advance because of his own reasons.

Even if Chen Ming could change the time of departure at any time and let Huihui pick him up, Baiquan's preparations would not be so easy to change.

Baiquan would need to mobilize tens of thousands of people and at least two battleships.

It is impossible to change the time just by saying it.

There must be at least two or three days of buffer, and it is definitely too late now.

Besides, this is something Chen Ming and Baiquan agreed on in advance.

And if Baiquan finally achieved victory, the benefits he gained would be much more than what he had to pay Chen Ming in the end, which was equivalent to Baiquan owing him a favor.

This was also something they had tacitly agreed to when they talked before.

Even for Chen Ming's own sake, this matter could not be changed casually.

Therefore, it was indeed a good choice for Chen Ming to leave and not ask about the follow-up.

It was also the safest choice that would not affect the follow-up plan.

But before Chen Ming could say his agreement, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a faint influence of spiritual energy fluctuations around him.

The source of the psychic fluctuations was deep underground, and was still approaching him.

It seemed that the things that were originally inside the cloning institute had come in along the passage.

The psychic fluctuations around him became intense again, and the communication with Yu Hui was cut off again.

Did the things below come out?

This thought popped up in Chen Ming's mind.

But then he found that it was not what he thought.

The things below did not come out, but were attracting him.

At this time, Huihuang contacted Chen Ming again through psychic energy and said, "Mr. Chen Ming, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but the things underground in the institute ran to the exit of the passage, and its own psychic energy affected the outside, so the communication was cut off."

"Then you are now..."

"No big problem."

Not only is it not a big problem, Chen Ming now even feels a sense of "closeness".

The huge deformed heart below gave Chen Ming the closeness between blood relatives, giving people a full sense of security.

Wanted Chen Ming to jump down and throw himself into its arms.

But...

Chen Ming is an orphan, and this feeling makes him feel very uncomfortable.

And the sense of danger that appeared in his mind along with the feeling of closeness also reminded him all the time that the heart was not something that was easy to get along with.

Chen Ming was not fooled at all, and turned to Huihuang and asked: "Since the situation has changed, are you going to change it now?"

"No, we still prioritize dealing with the flesh and blood on the surface."

"Okay."

Chen Ming responded and was ready to leave.

But at the moment he was about to do this, his mind suddenly became dazed.

Something was throbbing.

It was not Chen Ming himself, but something in his mind.

Chen Ming panicked for a moment. Was there something in his mind that he didn't notice?

No.

Chen Ming suddenly remembered.

Before, when his Iron Ore helped Chen Ming block the ruler's fatal three shots and caused itself to be destroyed, there was a psychic fluctuation around the institute.

Chen Ming immediately used his psychic fluctuation to sense himself.

Then he found that in addition to his own consciousness, there was a faint and blurred shadow in his mind.

The shadow seemed to stay in his mind voluntarily, and was slowly nourished by Chen Ming's subconscious spiritual energy fluctuations.

So Chen Ming had never noticed it.

Until now, it suddenly moved.

It wanted to go out, it wanted to touch the flesh and blood.

Chen Ming felt a real feeling of seeing an existence that was worthy of his life from this shadow.

This was what his spiritual energy told him, not the kind of "closeness" imposed by the outside world.

Chen Ming directly tried to use spiritual energy fluctuations to touch this shadow, trying to touch its origin.

It was not the dirty flesh and blood tissue derived from Chen Ming's genes.

It was a spiritual creature derived from Chen Ming's spiritual energy.

It was symbiotic with Chen Ming.

It was... a ship spirit.

Such a term suddenly appeared in Chen Ming's mind.

He had never heard of this word, but he just thought that the thing in his mind must be this ship spirit.

Chen Ming has always believed in his instincts instead of his brain when it comes to psychic matters.

So, he is doing the same thing now.

Chen Ming opened the hatch of the Buffalo and looked at the huge heart below.

The temptation of "closeness" became more and more obvious with Chen Ming's actions, and the sense of danger also rose with it.

However, the degree of danger is actually not as high as when the spiritual nerve drilled into his brain before.

Chen Ming was almost unprepared that time, and he almost felt the sense of danger brought about.

The current situation is completely different from before, and Chen Ming is well prepared.

In his head, the ship spirit seemed to be in a state of excitement.

A complete set of power armor instantly condensed on Chen Ming's body, equipped with a jet backpack and a hydraulic buffer system.

However, Chen Ming did not jump down directly, but first modified a grenade launcher for the Buffalo.

Loaded with the grenade that Chen Ming had just made.

The internal charge was the special explosives he learned from Zuo Jing, as well as some concentrated spacecraft fuel that was only used by fuel transport ships when transporting fuel in large quantities.

Chen Ming didn't know what the effect would be, but he should know it soon.

He aimed the grenade launcher at the huge beating deformed heart below and pulled the trigger.

Since his continued stay here would interfere with Yu Hui's work, Chen Ming simply helped Yu Hui do the job.

A grenade the size of a human head instantly pierced into the deformed heart.

After a brief silence.

Bright flames poured out from the gaps in the myocardial tissue.

The entire heart was shattered by the impact of the explosion, and the broken pieces of flesh flew out in all directions.

On the remaining flesh and blood tissue, a raging fire burned in the vacuum.

The spacecraft fuel itself has a considerable degree of flammability, and the fuel material ratio has its own combustion aid. The effect of highly concentrated fuel that is easy to store and transport is even more exaggerated.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the area covered by the grenade explosion firepower was almost only charred ashes.

Only a few pieces of broken meat were barely a little undercooked.

To be on the safe side, Chen Ming fired another grenade.

This time, there was no obstruction. The raging flames completely cleared the remaining parts of the heart.

The impact of the second explosion also completely blew away the ashes of the flesh and blood tissue.

Revealing the passage below that was still covered by flesh and blood with fresh vitality.

And at the moment when the flames of the second grenade explosion dissipated, Chen Ming saw a black shadow wrapped in psychic fluctuations turned back and rushed into the passage.

That thing should be the source of the violent spiritual energy fluctuations around.

A large flamethrower appeared out of thin air in Chen Ming's hand, which he could lift after wearing the heavy power armor.

The fuel tank of this thing is also equipped with spacecraft fuel, which is definitely the best helper for dealing with the remaining flesh and blood in the channel.

Chen Ming pulled the switch of the flamethrower, and after confirming that the flamethrower could easily spray out a fire snake of more than ten meters.

He adjusted his posture in the power armor.

Then, he took a step out.

Amid the terrified screams of Xiaoshi who was holding his neck and the joy of the ship spirit in his mind.

Chen Ming jumped off the spacecraft.

At this moment, the senior executives of Yuhui who were monitoring this scene through the satellite in the orbit of the star fell into silence.

"What is Chen Ming going to do?"

"He wants to enter the institute."

"Didn't Huihuang stop him?"

"Before it could contact Chen Ming, interference signals appeared around Chen Ming again, confirming that the 'psychic deformed myocardial tissue' had moved from the cloning institute to the institute exit."

"What is Chen Ming doing?"

"Unknown. There are several possibilities, the spirit stone, the spirit nerve extractor, or the psychic creature."

"We don't have the ability to stop Chen Ming for now, so don't worry about him. He won't actively seek death."

"And since the psychic creature has changed its location, the institute's communication signal should have been restored."

"Indeed, I'm trying to connect... The connection is successful."

"The overall framework of the cloning institute remains intact OK, but the main circuit systems and security equipment have been destroyed. "" The remaining electricity is available in only thirty minutes. " The rooms are the same as the other rooms of the institute, all of which are covered by distorted myocardial tissues. "" And the oldest stone of Chen Ming's previous obtained "" I suspect that all of the spiritual creatures are interested in us? " When interference, Lingneng creatures returned to the institute from the passage. With the heavy flamethrower leading the way, everything went very smoothly.

And every time Chen Ming took a step, a large amount of ordinary metal liquid would flow out from his feet, covering the passage behind him, solidifying and forming a steel passage.

In case the passage collapsed or was blocked by something again.

It was a retreat that Chen Ming left just in case.

The psychic flesh and blood organization seemed to sense that Chen Ming was not a good person and took the initiative to retreat.

It was seen that it had retreated to the side of the passage near the cloning institute.

At this time, the boss seemed to have finally woken up and asked Chen Ming in surprise through the terminal: "Xiao Ming, what's the matter with the photo you sent?"

"It was Yu Hui who was doing cloning experiments. In the end, I don't know how he made this thing. There are strong psychic fluctuations around it that interfere with the normal operation of communication equipment."

"I remember your thing. Something similar had appeared during the cloning ban period."

"But I was dormant during that period, and I don't know much about the details. You have to wait for me to check it out."

"Anyway, don't come in contact with that thing first. It might be dangerous. Yu Hui has ideas about you and won't let you get close."

Chen Ming looked at the half of the passage covered with flesh and blood in front of him and said nothing.

The boss immediately found the problem and asked, "You haven't come in contact with it yet? Also, whose genes did Yu Hui use for cloning?"

"My genes... If I can get rid of this thing, is it not a big problem?"

The boss looked a little anxious and frowned and said, "Let me think about it... I shouldn't interfere with your own affairs, but cloning this thing is a big problem, what should I do..."

Chen Ming also thought about it at this time and said, "Actually, I didn't have the idea of ​​contacting it at first."

The boss knew that Chen Ming had another but, so he didn't respond.

"But, there is something in my mind... It should be called a boat spirit, and it wants to contact this thing."

"Boat spirit?!"
