Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 139 Dimensional Infection

After being surprised, the boss immediately asked: "How do you know that the thing in your mind is the ship spirit? Also, how do you know about the ship spirit?"

Chen Ming had no way to answer the boss's question. He could only answer somewhat ambiguously according to his own feelings: "I am not sure either."

"I just felt the ship spirit when I was planning to stay away from that big heart, and then this word popped up in my mind automatically."

"I only know that the ship spirit is symbiotic with me and is born from my psychic energy."

The boss thought silently for a while, and finally chose to believe Chen Ming's words.

He had seen Chen Ming's genius in psychic energy.

So even if Chen Ming had not undergone systematic learning, had not seen the ship spirit, and did not know the existence of the ship spirit.

It is very normal to find that the ship spirit is born from psychic energy and coexists with psychics after contacting the ship spirit.

"Then let me give you a brief account."

"The ship spirit can be regarded as another life of the psychic, and it is an existence that no one can take away."

"Just as you know, the ship spirit and the psychic are symbiotic, so it will instinctively protect the psychic."

"Since your ship spirit is not on the ship, but on you, it means that your ship is gone, right?"

"Your ship spirit should have done something."

The previous scene flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and he responded: "Yes, my ship was lost in the previous operation of the Fourteenth Legion, and it did protect me."

The boss nodded habitually and continued: "But the value of the ship spirit is not limited to this. It is good in assisting ship control and enhancing the effect of ship AI."

"And it can also make your spaceship reflect the characteristics of your psychic power, which is the most critical point."

"Enhance AI? Reflect characteristics?"

"That's right."

"Enhance AI this You should understand it well. "

"Cruiser-class ships and above are basically equipped with at least Delta-class AI, with the exception of the Storm-class of Tachyon Technology."

"The reason why the Ship Spirit is called a Ship Spirit is not only because it comes from the psychic, but also because of its spirituality."

"The Ship Spirit is a psychic creature with its own consciousness."

"Although the consciousness of the Ship Spirit is relatively simple, it is enough to make up for the lack of personality in the Delta-class AI core."

"As long as the Ship Spirit with a simple consciousness can cooperate with the psychic and adjust the computing power of the rigid AI core according to the psychic's wishes, the effect is also very good."

"And the Ship Spirit and the psychic are symbiotic, and the Ship Spirit will never have the risk of betrayal."

"Of course, this effect is not important to you."

The boss knows the effect of Chen Ming's psychic power. No matter how much the Ship Spirit cooperates with the psychic itself, it is impossible to be more comfortable than the psychic controlling a warship alone.

So the boss just talked about this casually and answered another question from Chen Ming.

"As for the manifestation of characteristics, it is more complicated to explain in detail. Let me give you an example."

"Suppose there is a psychic who can control fire. If he has a ship spirit and the ship spirit is attached to his spaceship, then the spaceship will show the characteristics of fire in many aspects."

"Basically related to fire, such as improved engine efficiency, weapons with flames, and spaceship shields will also have similar effects."

"This is just something I made up casually. It is a fire-type psychic with relatively simple psychic effects."

"If it is a psychic of other types with more complex abilities, the effects of the characteristics will be very different."

When the boss said this, he couldn't help but imagine the future and said, "I am also very curious about what effect your ship spirit can make on your ship."

"Remember to let the ship spirit live in the new ship when you get it. The Supreme Point should be very good with your ship spirit."

"No."

The boss suddenly realized the problem and said, "Didn't I just talk to Are you talking about the cloning experiment? That's getting off topic."

"I've already found some news about the period of the cloning ban. I had some impression of these things, and I basically remembered everything after looking up the information."

The boss sent a few documents to Chen Ming on the terminal, and said to him: "The first cloning experiment that went wrong was a long time ago."

"I'm afraid you don't understand, so I'll tell you a premise that will make it easier for you to understand."

"Everything has a spirit, but clones don't, because clones are unconscious beings."

"But clones exist in the universe like other creatures, and as long as there is life, it is possible to obtain psychic energy. Humans will become psychics, and other creatures will become psychic creatures."

"And clones may become psychic creatures, not psychics."

At this time, Chen Ming was dealing with the flesh and blood tissue in the passage in front of him, while taking the time to look through a few documents given by the boss that seemed to be not confidential enough and could be taken out at will, and at the same time he had to listen to the boss's story.

Even though Chen Ming was doing three things at once, when the boss talked about this, he still subconsciously asked: "What about vegetative people?"

"Vegetative people also have consciousness, but the consciousness is very weak and cannot support the body to wake up."

"Clones are completely different. They skipped the stage of normal life development and lack consciousness. Unless the clones are just cloned genes to obtain embryos and then give birth through normal means, then there is no problem."

"Otherwise, it is just a mass of dead meat, something without consciousness."

The boss' tone was a little disgusted when he talked about clones.

"In short, if an unconscious being possesses rare psychic power, it is equivalent to a piece of fat meat hanging on the roadside, which will attract some dirty things hidden in some corners."

"Some, you can understand it as something similar to hyperspace, but in a space that we humans cannot set foot in."

"These things are a bit like the hyperspace spirits that spacecraft occasionally encounter when sailing in hyperspace."

"This kind of hyperspace spirit, whose specific image we have not yet been able to investigate clearly, will at most occasionally surround the hyperspace spacecraft and release interference waves to affect the efficiency of the engine."

"The spirits are not dangerous to humans, at most they are a headache, and the spacecraft can drive them away by releasing a blocking pulse."

"But the things in that space attracted by unconscious clones are not at the same level as the danger of living in hyperspace."

The boss introduced the general situation and began to explain to Chen Ming what had happened.

"According to the records."

"The first clone laboratory where the problem occurred had its eyes affected."

"And this effect is called dimensional infection."

Chen Ming interrupted and asked, "Infection? Isn't it parasitic? I thought it was something from that space that escaped."

"It's not parasitic. They definitely can't get out of their space at the moment. They can only influence us here by following the traces of psychic energy."

"In fact, ordinary psychic creatures and psychics can also sense them, but any normal creature will instinctively resist when they sense them. Only clones will be unable to react."

"The affected clones will have dimensional infection on their body parts. The distorted consciousness caused by those things has become a life."

"At that time, the situation in the photo you sent over also appeared."

"The eyes have the same distortion as yours... the heart, right? But the situation is more serious."

"The spread of this distortion is very terrifying. Ordinary people have no resistance at all. They will be affected if they get close to it."

"The eyes of all affected people will become living individuals and be separated separately."

Chen Ming put his hand on his chest and asked, "I feel a little stuffy in my chest when I get close to the distorted heart. Is it spreading?"

"Yes, but you are a psychic, naturally is resistant to this kind of thing. "

"But if it is an ordinary person, the heart would have already distorted and run out by itself when they feel chest tightness."

"It was like this before. Those living eyeballs scattered after leaving the body, affecting a very wide range."

"No matter whether it is dead or alive, as long as it has eyes, it will be affected."

"But can you imagine a habitable planet becoming full of flying eyeballs? Or the entire planet becomes part of the eyes? Even more than that."

"Just think about the consequences of the dimensional infection breaking out in the prosperous star field. How many people and things died at that time, and the damage caused was unprecedented."

"We have been fighting with Yuhui for so many years, There are quite high bearing capabilities in terms of losses. Exile. "" Exile "" You can drive out our universe and throw all the infected things back back the space. "Well, probably." The bustling galaxy was infected with dimensions, and this galaxy full of distorted creatures was thrown back by a spiritual person. How strong this spiritual person is at all, but at this moment, Chen Ming's focus is on the other thing. Chen Ming now understood the situation around him.

Fortunately, there is no one here in Yuhui, at most there are only a group of clones.

So the damage caused by this cloning experiment was limited to the small area of ​​the cloning research institute.

Then, humans should be able to use this method.

Find a few galaxies in the edge star field with poor resources and far away from the prosperous star field, and build cloning research institutes on them.

With superluminal communication technology, robots and equipment can be remotely arranged for control. If there is a problem, just block the galaxy and find a way to deal with it remotely.

If the planet cannot be dealt with, then the small satellites can definitely be dealt with. It must not be difficult to build some research institutes on the satellites.

Then why doesn't the empire do this?

Chen Ming knew that the empire must have a reason not to do this, so he asked the question directly.

The boss answered quickly: "In fact, there was no cloning ban when we just dealt with the dimensional infection. The ban was issued about half a year later than this incident."

"Because after dealing with the dimensional infection, the empire did have similar ideas as you."

"But, all subsequent cloning experiments, all, all were affected, and all clones were deformed."

"Although after dealing with the dimensional infection, the subsequent deformation was only the physical deformation of the clones, and there was no impact on the psychic power, the harm caused was relatively small."

"But no matter how small the harm is, it depends on the overall scale. No matter how small the problem is, if it occurs throughout the empire, it is not a small problem."

"Guess why?"

Chen Ming's answer to this matter that he didn't understand at all was: "I don't know."

The boss obviously didn't expect Chen Ming to guess correctly, Before Chen Ming finished speaking, he said, "We believe that the things that caused the dimensional infection have roughly located the empire's position in the universe through the dimensional infection."

"So they can continue to exert influence on the entire empire, and all unconscious clones will suffer. Fortunately, psychic clones are ultimately a low-probability event, and the overall situation is within the scope of what can be handled."

"However, in addition to the impact on clones, the impact they exert also affects the empire's newborns on a large scale."

"Many newborns and even embryos have deformed conditions."

"They are too fragile. Even if they have complete consciousness, they will inevitably be affected by such terrifying things for a long time."

Chen Ming immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and also suddenly understood what consequences Yu Hui's actions would have on them.

Chen Ming was about to ask how this sequelae was solved, but the boss told him what he wanted to ask: "It was not until fifteen years after the outbreak of this incident that the position between our two spaces deviated as time passed."

"They lost their position in the empire in the other space, and this situation gradually eased."

"It is this complete severance of the terror of human beings in the future that led to the existence of the ban."

"Yu Hui is doing this now, and we are afraid that there will be a large-scale decrease in newborns again."

"I will report this matter to you later, and I don't know what will happen next."

"But we will definitely take big actions against Yu Hui, otherwise if Yu Hui grasps this point, our demise will be within these generations."

"Your ability has a more solid foundation with Yu Hui, so you'd better take action as soon as possible."

Chen Ming tried his best to quickly digest this information that normal people would never be exposed to in their lives, and at the same time, he couldn't help asking: "Are all the recorded documents written in such detail?"

The boss said casually: "Because I have nothing to do with you now except talking to you. Talking with other people who know this is always a bit beneficial. "" "The boss suddenly thought about it. The gene provider of the cloning body, that is, the spiritual person, encountered some troubles in the future. "" Those things may be on the provider of your gene. " Going directly to the star domain, it is best to come back. I will take you to the person. "" Who? "" Who? " But he still had something to say: "But I feel fine now, nothing is wrong."

"Yeah, that psychic thought so too."

"Uh... what happened later? Did he die?"

"No, he's still talking to me now, and you can see him when you come back."

Chen Ming asked with some surprise and uncertainty: "President?"

"Yes."

Many thoughts flashed through Chen Ming's mind at once.

But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the sudden situation around him.

Just when he was talking to his boss, he had unknowingly arrived at the door of the cloning laboratory.

And here, there was a "thing" waiting for him.

A "person" like a human model.

It has no skin all over its body, and if you look closely, you will find that all its muscle tissue is forcibly squeezed by cardiac muscle tissue.

Even the eyes are just a ball of flesh and blood forced in.

Chen Ming once again felt the chest tightness and the obviously distorted sense of "closeness".

But what really made Chen Ming feel dangerous was the inside of the research institute behind it.

Chen Ming took a photo and sent it to his boss, saying, "Boss, I have something wrong here. I'll talk to you later."

He had to concentrate on solving the problem in front of him first.

Chen Ming stopped.

He could feel the excitement, excitement and greed of the boat spirit in his mind, as well as the nervousness of Xiao Shi next to him.

However, Xiao Shi had shown the potential of psychic power before, and it had been in contact with Chen Ming's Liar Stone and Whispering Stone for almost the same time as Chen Ming, and even had a large amount of fairy tree tea to nourish it.

Besides, when Chen Ming felt chest tightness before, Xiao Shi was not sleeping soundly, which also showed the specialness of Xiao Shi.

So Xiao Shi itself can actually be regarded as a psychic creature, but the specific effect of psychic power is still unclear.

Otherwise, Chen Ming would not have been able to bring it down.

Now Xiao Shi can beat a normal adult male without any problem, and its nervousness is more of instinctive nervousness.

Chen Ming tilted his head and rubbed Xiao Shi to comfort it.

And immediately kept his distance and activated the micro sensor he had modified on the power armor.

Similar to the sensor of a spaceship, it can simply scan some things.

And in the distorted flesh in front of Chen Ming.

He saw an Alpha-class core connected by flesh and blood tissue, and the two spiritual stones he had lost.

The distorted flesh seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly opened his mouth and said in an unclear voice: "You..."

However, Chen Ming did not bother about why the core of G3 and his spiritual stone were in the body of this thing, and did not give it a chance to talk nonsense.

When it said the first word, the flamethrower raised by Chen Ming had already spit out a fire snake in front of it.

The red flame instantly wrapped around the distorted flesh, but the effect was not very obvious.

Because there was a spiritual energy fluctuation wrapped around the distorted flesh.

Although the words of the distorted flesh were suppressed by the flamethrower, it took a step forward in the flames.

Is it a protective type of spiritual energy?

This thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and he suddenly frowned and covered his chest.

The boat spirit in his brain seemed to sense something, and took the initiative to leave the brain and come to the position of the heart, protecting Chen Ming from the pressure exerted by the distorted flesh and blood face to face.

So Chen Ming didn't need to divide a lot of mental power to protect himself.

After feeling that the chest tightness was slightly better, Chen Ming loosened his hand covering his chest and waved it slightly behind him.

At this time, the distorted flesh and blood, which seemed to have the upper hand, opened his mouth: "No..."

It just said a word, and it was suddenly knocked to the ground by a robot that flew out from behind Chen Ming.

Of course, Chen Ming also rubbed the robot on the spot.

Originally, Chen Ming wanted to install some explosives on it to explode with the distorted flesh and blood, but he thought that he would not get any good if it exploded underground.

So he just installed some electric saw blades and other things.

Four mechanical arms equipped with saw blades waved on the distorted flesh and blood that were knocked down.

For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the two arms of the deformed flesh were removed in an instant.

But in the next moment, a sudden electromagnetic pulse swept through the passage in front of the institute.

This is also the spiritual power of the deformed flesh.

However, Chen Ming's robot shook slightly, as if such an electromagnetic pulse of such intensity was just interference to it, and did not completely paralyze it.

The power armor Chen Ming was wearing was the same.

This is because Chen Ming has just learned something new recently.

Some military technology used to defend against electromagnetic pulses, which was obtained from Baiquan as a deposit.

The military, whether it is the 14th Corps or the military of various star regions, their spacecraft shields are very poor.

So in many battles, they will choose to turn off the shield and use the spacecraft's armor to resist the damage of weapons.

But armor cannot resist electromagnetic pulses.

Therefore, the technology of the 14th Corps in this regard is very powerful.

What Chen Ming got from Bai Quan was the top-level anti-electromagnetic interference technology.

In the past, Chen Ming suffered from lack of education, skills and money, and the equipment used in the spacecraft he drove did not have this technology.

Now it is different.

With technology, when facing such problems, you can always find a way to deal with it.

Chen Ming did not lose his composure because of the physical and psychological effects, and suppressed the distorted flesh and blood again in a blink of an eye.

The robot cut the distorted flesh and blood into sticks in an instant.

But the distorted flesh and blood saw that the situation was not right, and a violent electric arc visible to the naked eye flashed on its body.

The terrifying power brought by the high voltage was not something that Chen Ming's robot could withstand.

In the blink of an eye, the robot fell to the ground with black smoke.
