Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 146 The Highest Point

The psychic fluctuations transmitted from the space station, which were enough to affect the entire galaxy, swept over Huihuang and Chen Ming.

It put a heavy mental pressure on Chen Ming.

He could clearly feel that this psychic fluctuation was not imposed on him.

But he felt like a branch in a flood, completely unable to resist this force.

There should be only one person in the entire space station who can emit psychic fluctuations of this scale.

Chen Ming did not look at the space station behind him.

Instead, he turned his head to look at the main battleship that Yuhui had just jumped to, and the rest of the fleet following it.

They had already stopped under the influence of this psychic fluctuation.

They had been frozen there since the jump, floating in space, without any movement.

"What happened to them?"

The boss's voice came to Chen Ming's ears through the terminal: "They are dead."

"I have destroyed their consciousness, and they are just empty shells now."

"Okay, come back, time is still quite tight."

Hearing the boss's words, Chen Ming swallowed subconsciously.

This Radiation-class unmanned battleship led the fleet as the flagship, with a total of more than a dozen cruisers, hundreds of destroyers, and hundreds of frigates.

In the blink of an eye, they were all destroyed.

Or they were all destroyed without any damage.

This is the top psychic.

However, when he thought that the boss was on his side, Chen Ming relaxed instantly and said, "Boss, I'll find a place to put the ship first."

"No, you can just drive into the space station directly."

"Okay."

Chen Ming responded, and without thinking much, he asked Huihuang to drive the Huihuang-class into the space station, and his Buffalo-class followed next to Huihuang.

Someone will naturally deal with the fleet behind him later.

After approaching the Pirate Space Station.

Chen Ming found that the No. 1 space arm of the Pirate Space Station had been repaired during his absence, and it can be said to be exactly the same as before.

When the Huihuang-class drove in, the only two cruiser-class ship slots in the entire space station were completely filled.

On one berth was the Brilliant class that had just arrived.

On the other berth was the Supreme class exploration cruiser that Chen Ming had been looking forward to for a long time.

The Buffalo that Chen Ming drove did not take the passage of other small boats, but followed the Brilliant class to the cruiser's berth.

He found a random position and stuck it to the edge of the berth so that he could get off the ship.

At the same time, it was convenient for Chen Ming to observe the appearance of the Supreme when he got off the ship.

The overall appearance of the Supreme was somewhat unlike that of a conventional spacecraft.

It was wide in the front and wide in the back, and relatively slender in the middle.

And the wide part in the front was round and flat in shape.

As soon as Chen Ming saw it, he thought of the large galaxy-level scanning core and long-range high-precision sensors that were essential for exploration ships.

The back half was more angular.

There were many semi-embedded and movable mechanized equipment on it, all of which were physical exploration equipment that could be actually used.

In addition, there were many entrances and exits covered by armor plates that could be opened, which Chen Ming could see at a glance.

It was convenient for certain things to enter and exit.

Since exploration is not just scanning outside the planet, but it is necessary to obtain truly detailed and accurate data of a galaxy or a planet.

Therefore, in order to obtain this data, it is essential for the ship to land and conduct an investigation.

Therefore, a large number of professional tools and devices that can be carried out or robots that can take the initiative to go out must be prepared near this area on the spacecraft.

To achieve refined exploration work.

Although they all need people to control, Chen Ming almost completely took away the afterglow of the three afterglow galaxies, and he is not short of manpower now.

As long as he turns back and meets the batch of afterglow sent away by Huihuang Huiyao, it is completely sufficient to control the exploration equipment on this highest point.

In addition to the most basic exploration function, the exploration ship has another very important thing.

Armed force.

This is the basis for protecting the exploration ship itself.

This highest point does have a large number of weapons.

There are two simple and crude large weapon slots in front of the ship.

On the port side of the ship where the exploration equipment is installed at the rear, there is a large missile slot pointing out obliquely, and on the other side is a whole row of medium-sized missile slots.

There is nothing special to say about other smaller weapons on the cruiser.

It can be seen that compared with the regular combat type cruisers, the force of this Supreme Point is slightly weaker.

However, looking at the weapons installed on it, Chen Ming feels that the combat power can still compete with ordinary cruisers.

Especially the two tachyon spears installed in the front of the ship.

This thing is currently the most terrifying weapon in the entire human empire among the large weapons of this type.

At present, only Tachyon Technology and Yu Hui have mastered the specific process and manufacturing method of this thing.

When facing hostile ships without tachyon technology and afterglow, Chen Ming is confident that he can fight any ship with these two tachyon spears.

The large missile slot of the Supreme Point is equipped with a missile called Locust short-range missile launcher.

This is also a relatively famous weapon.

It can launch more than a thousand missiles with micro-tracking and thermal sensing effects at one time.

It is specially used to target fighters carried by aircraft carriers or missiles launched by hostile ships.

Although it is mainly biased towards protection, the combat capability of weapons is not just about the output of weapons. As long as the effect is good, any weapon can be installed on the ship.

What's more, the Supreme Point does not need the kind of missiles that can defeat the enemy with one shot.

The simple output is enough with the tachyon spear.

There is no problem with other weapons to protect itself.

And since such weapons are installed, the armor of the Supreme Point must not be much worse.

This top-notch configuration made Chen Ming unable to help but say, "It's really luxurious."

The boss, who was still dressed casually as before, just appeared in front of Chen Ming and said, "The spaceship built with the support of the association must be better prepared."

"Okay, just get on board. You can see everything you want to see on board."

He waved his hand, motioning Chen Ming to follow.

However, Chen Ming paused for a moment and asked, "Aren't you going to enter the space station?"

"No, it's urgent, and I want to be efficient."

Chen Ming nodded slightly and said, "Then wait a minute, I have something for you."

Chen Ming waved his hand, and saw two robots on the Buffalo-class behind him dragging a small car down from the spaceship.

On the small car was a transparent two-meter square glass box.

In fact, this is a small observation box.

It contains Yuhui's local specialty, the energy crystal crab.

This is what Chen Ming specially asked Huiyao to pick from the ecological cultivation cabin.

There are two in total, one male and one female.

There were two more eggs, one male and one female. Yu Hui had marked them like this, so Chen Ming asked Hui Yao to put them in.

The boss had never seen such a creature before, so he stood next to the observation box and examined it carefully.

After looking at it for two minutes, he suddenly said, "This thing is good, it looks good."

"Not only good-looking."

Chen Ming added, "The shell of this thing is self-energy storage material."

The boss looked a little surprised, and then he was surprised. He gently tapped the glass of the observation box and asked Chen Ming, "You should have more than this, right?"

"Yes, I stole an ecological cultivation cabin and got the complete cultivation technology."

The boss instantly realized Chen Ming's idea and praised, "It's interesting. It seems that you have thought a lot about the future development of the colony."

"Keep working hard. It's far from enough to have things. You have to work hard too."

"Of course."

The boss made a phone call and asked someone to take the observation box away. Then he said to Chen Ming, "Okay, let's go, get on the boat."

"Then my boat..."

"It's okay to stop here. Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I do."

The boss usually hides in the only store in the No. 2 space arm to block the pendulum.

Sell some cards and make a little money.

Although Chen Ming didn't think the boss could make much money, it might be a strange habit, so Chen Ming didn't comment.

The boss usually didn't have much presence, but he still had weight.

Now he showed this terrifying and powerful psychic power in front of the entire space station, and asked for a Yuhui cruiser to stop here.

There was no problem at all.

And Chen Ming felt that the boss should have some other reasons for asking him to deliberately leave the ship here.

The most obvious one was that the boss wanted to use the arrival of a Yuhui cruiser that was obviously controlled by humans to announce his return.

Many people had heard about his rumors when the 14th Corps took the initiative to launch a surprise attack on Yuhui some time ago.

Although because he was the protagonist of the incident at that time, he said he was dead, causing many people to forget about it.

But now that Chen Ming is not dead, the situation is completely different.

Everyone will think of him and remember him.

This point has been reflected now.

There is a special entrance and exit for quick access to the space station here at the cruiser's position.

But Chen Ming could still see that the flow of people at the small ship's dock next door had increased.

Most of them crowded at the entrance of the space arm, looking at the spacecraft.

At the same time, they were sharing their experiences with the people around them who knew nothing.

Spreading what had happened.

And it would also spread to the ears of people in the war zone after a period of time, or even now.

This was not to pit Chen Ming, but to protect him.

The more people know that Chen Ming has the ability to end the existence of Yuhui, the safer Chen Ming will be.

Chen Ming glanced at the crowd in the passage next to him and then looked away.

He let the robot follow him, and at the same time he followed the boss.

Chen Ming and the boss walked side by side, and said casually: "I feel that since I came back, the factory director and Lao Wu will be busy these two days."

The boss smiled.

He also saw the gradually surging crowd at the entrance and exit of the space arm, but this was the effect he wanted.

He took Chen Ming around and came to another ship.

When the Supreme Point was within Chen Ming's reach, Chen Ming once again realized how huge the thousand-meter-class ship was.

And he, alone, could control three such ships.

Under the guidance of the boss, Chen Ming boarded the spacecraft from the head of the Supreme Point.

The internal environment of the Supreme Point is somewhat similar to the research institute where Chen Ming stayed before.

And like the research institute, it is basically pure white. Although it doesn't look close, it is more comfortable.

However, the numerous passages and the internal cooling pipes that occasionally appear outside still make it clear that this is on a spaceship, not a pure research institute.

Chen Ming's hand was on the hull of the spaceship, but he didn't dare to control the new cruiser yet.

He was afraid that he would faint as soon as he took control.

It's better to follow the boss and take the internal fast-moving elevator to get familiar with the spaceship.

Although this high point has various large equipment installed at the head and tail, Chen Ming followed the boss and found that there is still a lot of space inside the spaceship.

Especially the slender part of the hull connecting the head and tail in the middle, the unused space is larger.

Chen Ming felt that he could install various things in these places.

For example, the research institute and workshop he needs now.

But if he wants to modify the cruiser, he still has to wait.

The boss obviously noticed the empty space inside the spaceship and said, "This ship is the prototype of the highest point, so there are no fancy things on the ship, but I think you should be able to handle it yourself."

"It's not good now. The most I can do now is to get some finished products. I don't know much about the technology used in the cruiser."

"It's a matter of time."

As the boss said this, he suddenly realized that Chen Ming seemed to be controlling the elevator control panel by himself, instead of using psychic power.

He asked in a strange way, "You haven't controlled the spaceship yet?"

"Well, because I'm afraid of fainting."

Chen Ming took off the helmet of his protective suit, revealing his messy hair like a hamster nest, and Xiao Shi, who was sleeping on Chen Ming's head, had dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot red eyes.

"You..."

"It took a while to get out of Yu Hui's final stage. I didn't sleep for two days, and I also spent some mental energy on repairing the spaceship."

And as he talked with his boss, Chen Ming saw that the excitement at the peak was gradually fading, and fatigue was rising, and he was almost at his limit.

The boss frowned slightly at Chen Ming's condition and said, "Then let's change our plan."

"I was counting on you to drive the ship, but you can't drive the spaceship in this state."

"Go find a place to rest first, and we'll talk about the rest when you wake up."

Chen Ming really couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Is there a place to rest on the ship?"

"Yes, which ship doesn't have a place for people to rest?"

"I also specifically asked the newcomer to dismantle most of the redundant living areas according to your needs."

"The exploration ship that could originally accommodate more than 2,000 people can now only accommodate five people at most. The conditions may be better than what you live in the space station."

Chen Ming said: "Then I'll rest on the ship. I usually sleep on the ship."

"Well, I sent you the map of the spaceship on my terminal. I won't tell you in detail where to find food."

"Remember to check the things in the room. The things Bai Quan gave have also been delivered to your room."

Hearing this, Chen Ming suddenly became more energetic.

After all, what Bai Quan promised before were all good things.

But Chen Ming's consciousness was immediately shrouded by sleepiness again. In extreme fatigue, nothing could stimulate him to be more energetic.

Chen Ming just agreed casually and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, the boss asked Chen Ming: "So, see you in the afternoon or tomorrow?"

Chen Ming looked at the time. It was just after midnight, and he needed a very full rest.

So he said: "Maybe tomorrow."

The boss nodded and said nothing.

He returned the same way and left the spaceship.

Chen Ming successfully passed the map and arrived at his room in the living area in the middle of the spaceship.

Although it is called a room, in fact, the place for Chen Ming to live here is a suite.

Three bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, and even a small kitchen.

After all, if the resources of other living areas and living facilities are reduced, the quality of life for a single person will definitely be improved.

Three rooms, one is a bedroom, one is a study, and one is an empty room, which can be used as a storage room to store some things.

There is nothing good about the bedroom and the empty room.

However, there is a whole wall of bookcases in the study.

The bookcase is full of various physical books. Although the contents are relatively different, these books can be classified into one category.

They are all technical books.

Chen Ming even saw a few technical books that seemed to be from the 14th Corps. It seems that the boss and the 14th Corps have agreed.

All the books related to electromagnetic technology and anti-electromagnetic technology that Bai Quan promised Chen Ming to need were placed here.

In addition, a large number of basic cruiser-level technologies were attached, allowing Chen Ming to get started.

No wonder the boss just said that it is only a matter of time before Chen Ming masters the transformation of cruisers.

And next to the bookcase, there is a special storage cabinet with several electronic cards.

Chen Ming picked one at random and inserted it into the terminal to take a look. He found that this card was linked to an identity card.

It allowed Chen Ming to log in to a platform where many scientific researchers uploaded papers and academic reports.

If Chen Ming read it himself, he would have to pay for it, and there was a limit on the number of times he could read it every day.

With this card, he could view these papers on this platform without restriction, which was very helpful for learning and technical research.

The other cards were the same and could log in to different platforms in the empire.

It can be said to be quite considerate. I don’t know whether it was prepared by the boss or Bai Quan.

Chen Ming felt that it was more likely that the boss prepared it.

Because on a large desk next to the bookcase, there were three gift boxes, which should be what Bai Quan gave.

Chen Ming opened the gift box and took a look.

In the first gift box, there was a savings card and a storage card.

This savings card in the name of Bai Quan had 2 billion funds, which was what Bai Quan said before, to compensate Chen Ming for the iron ore.

Wait, speaking of the Iron Ore, Chen Ming suddenly remembered something.

He rummaged in his pocket and took out the amber-shaped condensed spiritual energy source.

The shadow inside, that is, the ship spirit, was circling the mini Iron Ore in the amber in a bored way.

Chen Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, and he gently tapped the amber and whispered: "You can come out, this ship will be my ship from now on."

The ship spirit suddenly stopped circling, showing a joyful mood, and ran out of the amber in a blink of an eye, infiltrating this Supreme Point.

It should take some time for it to completely control this ship.

So Chen Ming continued to look at the storage card in the gift box.

This card also came with a document.

This document includes most of the cruiser models currently on the market, and also includes various data of the spacecraft, and even some ship models within the 14th Corps.

Obviously, this is the cruiser that Baiquan promised to compensate Chen Ming before.

Chen Ming can make a choice based on the detailed data in this document.

Chen Ming might have wanted an exploration cruiser before, but he hasn't made up his mind yet, so he'll put it aside for now.

Then there's the second gift box.

There's only one thing in this gift box.

An Alpha-class Afterglow core.

Controlling the Afterglow core doesn't require any mental power, so Chen Ming directly controlled it and opened its panel.

[Afterglow Alpha-class AI core (HRYY1-APGU2)]

[Manufacturer: Afterglow B-01 Colony Near-Earth Orbit Industrial Facility]

[Self-awareness: Hibernation]

[Computing power: Galaxy level]

[Executable operations: None]

This is indeed a genuine Afterglow.

If Chen Ming knew earlier that Baiquan had sent this thing over, he could actually let this individual control this Supreme Point.

Only a signal access device is needed, unlike the Brilliant, which requires dismantling a ship hull more than 100 meters thick to access the Brilliant core.

But it is not necessary now.

After all, the boss has left.

And Chen Ming's mental state is not good now. It will be better to recover after the light. Then we can talk about this Alpha level afterglow in detail.

Chen Ming put the Alpha core back into the box.

Then he continued to open the last gift box.

Chen Ming sensed a faint psychic fluctuation from it at the beginning, so he deliberately left it for the last.

When the box was opened.

Chen Ming saw the psychic weapon that belonged to him.

An exquisite revolver.

There seemed to be a firefly-like pattern etched on the gun body, which was very beautiful.

Chen Ming's eyes were completely attracted by it for a while, and he couldn't move away for a long time.

In addition to the appearance of the revolver, Chen Ming was also observing the manufacturing process of the revolver.

He could be sure that the process used in this revolver was modern.

But the design is indeed a retro design, and it is not retro for the current era.

But in the true sense, it is the style of the revolver about one or two centuries after it was designed.

The overall material of the gun body is very similar to the silver firefly alloy, a special grade material called silver firefly and an alloy of other metals.

Based on the weight and color of the hand, Chen Ming feels that the alloy should be Baiyun steel. After all, this thing is strong and beautiful.

At the same time, a little high-value sky steel is also mixed in, which has an almost invisible indigo color under the light.

This silver firefly alloy is generally used for heat dissipation of battleship-level weapons. The strength and performance of various metal materials must meet the standards. To be honest, it is quite luxurious to use it only as a revolver material.

However, Chen Ming found that the material of the pistol in front of him was said to be silver firefly alloy, but it seemed different when he looked closely.

At least as far as Chen Ming knows, this material has no psychic fluctuations.

And this revolver has psychic fluctuations not only on one part, but on the whole gun, all the materials are emitting psychic fluctuations.

Including the wooden material that Chen Ming has never seen before, which covers the handle.

This should not be natural, but the effect achieved by using the technology of making psychic weapons.

Chen Ming is not curious about this technology, and it is useless to be curious, even the boss may not know about this.

And there is something like a certificate in this gift box.

Chen Ming picked up the certificate and took a look.

Found that it was an introduction to the weapon here.

It said that it was designed by a master designer certified by the Empire and was the only weapon exclusively for Chen Ming.

It was named Ming.

I don’t know whether it was Bai Quan’s idea or the designer knew that it was designed for him, so he gave it this name.

Chen Ming didn’t mind.

And Bai Quan didn’t know where he got Chen Ming’s physical data from, and he specially marked it in the design introduction of this revolver, saying that it perfectly fits his ergonomics.

So Chen Ming tried it himself.

The first time he held it, he felt that his palm and the handle fit perfectly, and it was very comfortable to hold.

In the second time, Chen Ming felt that his mental power seemed to be stimulated, and it was a positive stimulation.

But his mental state was not good now, and this stimulation could not stimulate Chen Ming's brain, which was already exhausted to the extreme.

It seems that he still needs to wait for a good sleep.

However, Chen Ming suddenly noticed that the certificate was accompanied by a website in Shanghai.

It seems that it is still a website that is not open to the public Internet.

So Chen Ming took the terminal to log in and take a look.

When a big title "Psychic Population Census Network" appeared, Chen Ming wanted to turn it off directly.

However, when he opened the website, he saw that his account had been logged in. Obviously, Baiquan had investigated several of his identity information and helped him register.

It was useless to turn it off.

So Chen Ming took a look at the website.

This thing is called a population census website, but in fact Chen Ming can only look at his own situation.

The website also only records some of the simplest identity information and the general types of psychics.

Since Chen Ming has not systematically studied psychics and has not undergone specific psychic physical examinations.

So the content written on it is also very vague.

His psychic type is judged to be auxiliary psychic, and his psychic ability is just four words, controlling the spacecraft.

But Chen Ming feels that this website should have more functions than this, and it seems that he has to ask his boss for his opinion later.

In addition, Chen Ming also found an affiliated website on this website.

"Imperial Psychic Weapon List".

When Chen Ming opened this thing, he found that Baiquan also helped him register.

His "Ming" was displayed on it.

However, this thing is the same as the psychic census website, basically you can only see your own.

The only difference is that there is one more option.

Let Chen Ming see some.

When the psychic is dead, but the psychic weapons belonging to the dead psychic are not used or cannot be used.

Some unique psychic weapons specially collected by the empire.

Obviously, the owners of these collected psychic weapons must have made contributions to the empire.

Chen Ming took a quick look and closed the website.

Because he had not yet finished studying this "Ming".

Although the content of the manual ended at the website.

But Chen Ming remembered that his boss had said before that psychic weapons seemed to be able to be inlaid with spiritual stones.

So Chen Ming looked carefully at the Ming in his hand.

He found that there was a decorative metal block at the bottom of its handle that could be removed.

This was the only component on the entire gun that did not have psychic fluctuations.

The groove left after removing the metal block seemed to be able to be inlaid with spiritual stones.

The boss mentioned before that psychic weapons have a slight amplification effect on spiritual stones.

Generally, spiritual stones with positive effects are inlaid on psychic weapons, such as the boss's "gentleness".

However, since Chen Ming's frenzy language spiritual stone has resonated and can be controlled at any time, it should be possible to inlay it.

But the problem is that the size of the spiritual stone is wrong.

You can't cut off a part and then inlay it, right?

I still have to ask this question later.

Chen Ming made another note of the question in his mind.

After confirming that there was nothing else he needed to do urgently, he packed up all the things in front of him and came to the bedroom.

Looking at the soft and comfortable big bed in front of him, Chen Ming was about to lie down.

But he suddenly stopped his action.

Because at this time, Baiquan suddenly contacted him.

Asking for his help.
