Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 155 Coordinates

I don't know how much time has passed.

When Chen Ming woke up, he found that he was lying on a bed in the medical facilities of the highest point.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a bag of glucose hanging on the back of his hand.

And there were several doctors and nurses from outside helping Chen Ming with a physical examination.

The boss was standing next to him at this time, talking on the phone with someone.

Chen Ming raised his hand that was not hanging water and took a look.

The gauze he had wrapped casually on his hand before had been replaced with a new bandage that was obviously bandaged by a professional nurse.

And now there was no pain. It seemed that the doctor should have used very top-level drugs for him.

The boss next to him found that Chen Ming had woken up after being reminded by the doctor, and said a word to the person on the phone and hung up the call.

Then he looked at Chen Ming and said, "Awake? I suddenly received a communication from the ship you were docked on, saying that you had a problem, so I came to see you."

"And I saw you in this state, what happened?"

Chen Ming sat up from the bed and explained, "Bai Quan and I have cooperated on some things, you should know in two days."

"The instigator is here, why do I have to wait two days to know?"

Chen Ming glanced at the doctor and nurse next to him.

"It's okay, they are all my own people."

Chen Ming nodded and said, "I cooperated with Bai Quan and did something on Yu Hui's territory."

The boss asked with interest, "What's the matter?"

"I helped him find a new ship that Yu Hui was building recently, a Nova-class unmanned battlecruiser."

"Killed it?"

"Not only that, we also killed a radiation ship, and we also dismantled a lot of the Nova-class giant docks."

"If my mental power hadn't been unable to bear it, I could even control the entire giant dock."

The boss immediately understood the situation and said, "No wonder you want to hurt yourself, using pain to stimulate mental power, right?"

"Yes, it's a pity that there is still a long way to go. I can't feel the giant dock now. It may have been dismantled by Yu Hui himself."

The boss suddenly noticed something at this time and asked, "I see that your mental power consumption doesn't seem to be just to help locate it, right?"

"Well, when Bai Quan went over, Yu Hui's support speed was too fast, so we didn't have There is a chance to destroy the Nova."

"Then he sent a team and asked me to lead it to the giant dock to force out the unfinished Nova."

"Originally, I wanted to blow up the Nova directly in the dock, but unfortunately it was almost done. In the end, I could only force it out and hand it over to Baiquan for processing."

"That's right."

Chen Ming said, and suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Baiquan promised me that as long as I could destroy the Nova, I could make any reasonable request, so I am now considering what request I should make to him."

"Baiquan destroyed two battleships and a new model of Nova in one go, combat data and hull data... Did you get this data in the dock?"

"Yes, I handed over part of the Nova's hull data to the team that sneaked into the giant dock before, and they have taken the data back."

Of course, Chen Ming could not give out things like blueprints. He just gave Baiquan some of the Nova-class ship data recorded in the database.

After all, he controlled the core of the giant dock, so it would be more reasonable to find something in the core and give it away than to say that he found nothing.

It would also make people less suspicious that he had a complete blueprint of the new star level.

The boss was not surprised that Chen Ming had obtained the data, and continued: "That's right, with these things in hand, Bai Quan will definitely get their internal rewards, and maybe even a promotion."

"When the time comes, ask for more, he will definitely be able to pay, and he will definitely be willing to pay."

"And even if he is not a psychic, you can ask him for psychic-related things, he will definitely have them."

"What do you want specifically? I'll help you with some advice later."

The boss looked very interested in this matter, but Chen Ming still said: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Okay, then you don't need to rush, Bai Quan should be busy during this period."

"You may not get anything if you go to him now, think about it slowly."

"Yeah."

Chen Ming adjusted his sitting position on the bed.

At this time, he suddenly discovered a problem.

His mental strength seemed to have recovered.

He didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue, nor did he feel the pain of mental shock after his mental power was exhausted.

What was going on?

Chen Ming didn't understand, so he asked his boss, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Well... probably less than a day."

"Only one day?"

Chen Ming didn't think that the degree of mental exhaustion he had experienced before could be solved by a one-day coma.

He frowned slightly and carefully observed his situation through his mental power.

Suddenly, he found that the overall state of his mental power was not even the state before he fell into a coma.

It was the state when he started to help Baiquan earlier and his mental power was at its highest limit.

Wait, that's not right.

Chen Ming noticed something wrong again.

His mental power limit had obviously been significantly reduced due to mental exhaustion before.

After this coma, his reduced mental power limit was fully restored, and even improved significantly.

Just like the improvement of his mental power after extremely high-intensity training.

"What's going on?"

Hearing Chen Ming's sudden question, the boss subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

"My mental power has recovered, and there are no sequelae of forcing it on."

"Oh, this."

Lao Lai thought it was something important, but he didn't expect it to be this.

After hearing Chen Ming's words, he knocked on the wall next to him casually.

A shadow that was much fainter than before poked its head out of the wall and then went back in.

It was the boat spirit that helped Chen Ming bear the loss of his mental power.

This situation also made him fully realize what the saying "boat spirit is another life of a psychic" means.

Just as Chen Ming was sighing at the awesomeness of the boat spirit.

The terminal in the boss's hand vibrated again.

He picked up the terminal and took a look at it, then said to Chen Ming: "Xiao Ming, I told you before that the president wants to see you, right? He wants to talk to you a little bit in advance now."

Chen Ming was stunned and said: "Okay."

The boss picked up the phone and handed the terminal to Chen Ming.

A gentle and steady middle-aged voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding older than the boss: "Hello, Chen Ming."

"Hello... President."

"I've heard about you from Wu An for a long time."

"Yeah, me too."

The president smiled and said, "I came to see you today, just to chat with you and get to know you."

"If you have any questions, you can ask. If I can answer them on the phone, I will tell you on the spot."

The president was so nice to Chen Ming that Chen Ming looked at the boss next to him with a little uncertainty.

However, the boss just spread his hands and signaled Chen Ming to decide what to do.

"Thank you first, President. I want to ask, how did you solve the dimensional infection last time? What does it mean that Boss Wu told me that it was only roughly solved? And what exactly is dimensional infection?"

"Did Wu An tell you the specific solution?"

"He said you exiled those things."

For some reason, the president suddenly fell silent.

Then he said: "It's not exile, exile needs a specific place, but I just threw those distorted eyeballs out of our universe."

"I don't know where exactly they were thrown, but I can be sure that it's not somewhere else in our universe."

"It's not in hyperspace, let alone any space similar to hyperspace that we are studying."

"It's not even the original space of these things, so Wu An told you that it's probably solved."

Is it so random?

This thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and somehow he suddenly remembered his unstable hyperspace channel jump engine.

It's also random, but this one is limited to hyperspace.

"As for the question you asked about what dimensional infection is, I can't give you an accurate answer."

"Our current research progress on dimensional infection is still at a relatively backward level."

"You have experienced it yourself, and you know that ordinary people can't come into contact with these things at all.

"Only I and a few psychic researchers have been studying these things, but the efficiency can only be said to be average. "

"But you can roughly understand dimensional infection as another space or dimension, a means of eroding us here."

Chen Ming suddenly understood something.

Of course, it's not what dimensional infection is, but the reason why the president wants to find him.

This may have something to do with his psychic power, but the bigger reason should be because he is a person who has experienced dimensional infection, and he is also the genetic source of the clones that caused dimensional infection.

And the president just said that they are conducting research on that dimension.

Then Chen Ming, who happened to be a graduate of a formal school, can be invited to join them.

Although Chen Ming studied engineering, not science, he at least has some foundation in this area.

Although his major is also machinery and spacecraft, it does not affect the research on that dimension.

After all, if you really count it, the hyperspace that supports the entire empire can also be regarded as a dimension.

Then, as a product that occupies both the research directions of machinery and spacecraft, a hyperspace channel system that can enter the dimension of hyperspace.

It just shows the connection between machinery and other dimensions.

And Chen Ming is also a psychic, and when facing that special dimension, he has a natural resistance that ordinary people do not have at all.

So it is definitely no problem to find Chen Ming.

The president came this time, probably because he wanted Chen Ming to join him to help him with his research.

Even if Chen Ming does not want to join them, it will definitely help his research to meet and talk in person.

Chen Ming's current thoughts will not change, and he will definitely continue to explore outside the empire and stay away from all kinds of troubles within the empire.

So Chen Ming has no idea of ​​joining the psychic association or joining the president's research team for the time being.

But if it is just a chat, it is still okay to simply help.

So Chen Ming responded after thinking for a while: "I understand."

"There is another question. I got something like amber. What is the specific use of this thing?"

The president said to Chen Ming in the same kind attitude as before: "Wu An has already told me about your thing, but it is not good to talk about it on the phone. We will talk about it in detail when we meet in a few days."

"But I can tell you its name first, condensing the source of spiritual energy."

"This is the name I found from the ruins of another civilization before. At that time, I also found some related documents."

"Well... Actually, you can ask some questions. I can tell you what I can say now."

"It is not good to talk about it on the phone. Let's talk about it later."

"Okay."

Chen Ming immediately asked the question that he had been thinking about for a long time: "Why is this thing called the source of spiritual energy? My spiritual energy source should not be in myself. ?”

The president replied: “Condensing the spiritual energy source is not the spiritual energy source, and the spiritual energy source you are referring to is not called the spiritual energy source.”

“I won’t tell you the specific name of the spiritual energy source because Wu An has arranged it. You will know it later.”

“Now you just need to know that under normal circumstances.”

“‘Condensing the spiritual energy source’ requires the psychic to actively guide all his mental power outside the body.”

“As long as there is a certain carrier, these spiritual energies will naturally condense to form a condensed spiritual energy source.”

“It sounds simple to achieve, but first you should know that when the psychic’s mental power is exhausted, he will suffer a mental shock and fall into a coma.”

“This point can already rule out many ordinary psychics, whose mental power cannot support such consumption.”

“Unless there are special circumstances, or a strong enough psychic can do this.”

Hearing this.

Chen Ming suddenly found that he seemed to be able to achieve such a requirement.

He had previously relied on the upper limit of consuming mental power to achieve the situation of mental power exhaustion but not coma.

He can completely guide all his mental power outside the body. As long as there is a carrier, he can create a condensed spiritual energy source again.

The boss next to him seemed to have thought of this, and his expression changed slightly.

He was surprised by Chen Ming's ability, and also surprised by the condensed spiritual energy source itself.

The boss can indeed guide all his mental power outside the body while staying awake.

But he has never heard of the existence of the condensed spiritual energy source, and he doesn't know how to make it.

Either he is ignorant.

Or, the existence of this condensed spiritual energy source is extremely rare, even rarer than the already rare ship spirit, and there are not even enough samples to confirm its existence.

But since the president has clearly stated that this thing really exists, the key to the existence of the condensed spiritual energy source should be on that carrier.

Just as Chen Ming and the boss were thinking at this time, the president's next sentence was about the carrier.

"Even if the psychic meets the previous requirements, the remaining carrier is extremely difficult to solve."

"Because it has no fixed and specific existence, each psychic wants to condense the required carrier when guiding the psychic energy outside the body."

"There are extremely many possibilities at an extremely high cost. It is almost impossible to test what material can serve as a carrier."

"So I only know of two things that condense the origin of psychic energy."

"One is yours, and the other is someone else I know."

Chen Ming still asked with some confusion at this time: "Then why is it called this name?"

"I just said that this is the name recorded in the document I found in the ruins of another civilization. It was not named by me."

"But I can also explain it to you roughly, you can understand it this way."

"When the psychic controls all the mental power to guide it outside the body and forms this thing, the essence of what it finally forms must be the same as the essence of your psychic energy."

"But it is not your psychic essence, so I added 'condensation' in front to distinguish it. It doesn't have any special meaning."

"Is that so."

Chen Ming responded with a vague understanding, and then asked: "Does this thing look a bit like a ship spirit?"

"Ship spirit? It does look a bit like it."

"But the ship spirit is quite special. The ship spirit is a psychic creature that is born when the psychic's daily spiritual power dissipates and the surrounding objects are in a psychic environment for a long time."

"Condensing the spiritual energy source is an object that requires the active release of spiritual power to create."

"In essence, they are somewhat similar. They are both close to the spiritual energy source of psychics, but the details are definitely different."

The president suddenly thought of something and said: "Speaking of which, your situation of condensing the spiritual energy source is also quite special."

"It was with the help of those deformed heart tissues that you condensed it in advance. Condensed spiritual energy source, and then influenced by your ship spirit to become your condensed spiritual energy source, right? "

"Yes."

"Well, this is a very difficult situation to replicate, no, it is a situation that cannot be replicated at all."

"The condensed spiritual energy source obtained by this means is even more special."

"But where is the specific special, I have to see it in person to confirm."

Chen Ming responded again and said: "Then I have another question, that is, can this condensed spiritual energy source be condensed multiple times?"

"This involves the use of this thing. The document I found just happened to have these records, but I will tell you later."

"But I remind you first, don't try this."

"Okay, I have no other questions, thank you president."

"Okay, see you in two days."

The communication ended.

Chen Ming also had a basic understanding of the president.

He returned the terminal to the boss and said casually: "The president is really easygoing."

"The president took the initiative to see you. If he doesn't, who will be easygoing?"

"That's right."

The boss put away the terminal, patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and asked: "Are you okay? If you are, we will leave early."

When talking about the body, Chen Ming noticed that several doctors and nurses had left the ward at some point.

So he felt it himself and found that he was indeed a little tired physically.

But mentally, he was not bad. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was very good.

The boat spirit gave him great protection in terms of mental strength.

And Chen Ming didn't need to drive the boat himself next, he just needed enough mental strength.

So he thought about it and said, "Yes, I can go now."

"Do you think we should take the doctor and nurse with us?"

Chen Ming thought about it again and said, "Let's take them with us. If something happens on the way, we don't have to look for a colony."

The boss nodded, picked up the terminal and clicked a few times, and then said to Chen Ming, "Then..."

Just as the boss spoke, he suddenly saw Chen Ming's face change.

He became extremely pale.

The boss asked hurriedly, "Are you okay?"

Chen Ming's forehead oozed a little cold sweat, and he said incoherently, "No, no, I can't go, I absolutely can't meet."

"There's something wrong with this!"

Because at the moment when Chen Ming was about to start the highest point and go to the galaxy given to him by the boss.

Once again, Chen Ming clearly felt the special sense of danger from the depths of the starry sky in the consciousness space.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he immediately connected them together.

These connected thoughts made Chen Ming have an extremely terrifying guess.

The boss, who was not aware of all this, reached out and pressed Chen Ming's shoulder, frowned and looked into his eyes carefully and said: "What's the problem? Are you talking about the president?"

"No, no, not the president."

Chen Ming quickly denied it, and at the same time said to the boss nervously: "Boss, you said it before."

"The existence of another space that caused the dimensional infection can locate the position of our empire, and it has been located for twenty years at once."

"All the newborns in the past twenty years and the cloning experiments that were still ongoing at the time have all been distorted."

"It was not until twenty years later, when the relative positions of our two dimensions were offset, that they gradually lost our coordinates, right?"

The boss knew what he had said before, so he immediately admitted: "Yes."

"Then the president and I, who have experienced the dimensional infection and are also the gene providers of the objects of the dimensional infection, are not just coordinate data for the things in that space?"

The boss seemed to realize a little bit of the problem, frowning and thinking.

Chen Ming continued: "If the president's position is equivalent to a point, it has no meaning for our universe and another dimension."

"Because there is only one point but two surfaces, no, there are two spaces, so it is impossible to locate it by just this point."

"Because the existence over there is not clear about the relative position of the two dimensions, otherwise when there is only one point of the president, the other dimension will not be able to lose our position."

"So one point has no value."

"However, when the second point appears, that is, when my position appears, the two coordinates only need to be connected, then they have practical meaning."
