Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 167 Processing

After the battle.

Space Arm No. 2, the boss's hardware store.

The boss was expressionlessly talking on video with another psychic Hu Yi who had come to the space station.

He had already learned the news outside the space station, and the explosions that occasionally sounded in his ears had subsided.

So he said to Hu Yi: "The fight outside is over, you should leave too."

Hu Yi responded with some surprise: "Oh? Is it over? Judging from your reaction, the result seems not good for me."

The boss continued to say to him expressionlessly: "You can see for yourself."

"Hey, don't be so stern, you also know that I can't help myself."

"Let's drink tea and chat here, it's good not to fight or join in the fun, right? We are all civilized people, there is really no need to fight."

The boss suddenly sneered and said: "Didn't they give too much?"

Hu Yi spread his hands and said: "It has something to do with it."

The boss was not fooled at all, and directly exposed Hu Yi's lie and said: "I think it is the most important relationship, I hope you think this is a profit."

"What? Can you give me more than that? If you can really turn against me on the spot, it's not impossible."

The boss did not answer Hu Yi's question, but told a fact: "Then do you know that the president plans to come to see Chen Ming in the next two days."

Hu Yi was stunned and said uncertainly: "What?"

"Do you know that the government will definitely give Chen Ming special protection in the future? Especially in the empire."

"If you want to take action against Chen Ming, I will offend more than just one person."

Hu Yi suddenly panicked, because Wu An didn't need to tell these lies that could be easily exposed. He hurriedly asked: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Haha, you want to go yourself?"

The boss hung up the phone directly and turned his head to look at the door of the hardware store.

Chen Ming happened to be standing there at this time, followed by a transport robot, and the robot's several mechanical arms were holding a huge metal ball.

At the last second when the boss and Hu Yi hung up the communication.

Hu Yi happened to see a little bit of the situation at the door of the store through the video communication screen.

Chen Ming, who returned to the space station safely without any signs of injury, and the familiar metal ball behind him, all made him feel a chill at this moment.

And when the communication screen disappeared, Hu Yi recalled the previous screen, and he suddenly had a moment of palpitations.

He immediately left his current room and came outside.

Outside his room was a corridor made entirely of metal materials, with several portholes on the corridor.

Through the portholes, you can see the star in the galaxy where the pirate space station is located, and the flames of the violent explosion that has not yet been completely extinguished in the galaxy.

It can be seen that Hu Yi is now on a spaceship, quite close to the galaxy where the pirate space station is located, but also in a position that cannot be detected by normal detectors.

Although it is still difficult to see the situation in the galaxy clearly with the naked eye at this distance.

But this distance is enough to quickly enter the galaxy when necessary, allowing Hu Yi to maintain a deterrent to the boss.

Just as Hu Yi just said, he really just wanted to keep in touch with his boss, and then drink tea and pass this mission.

As long as he didn't move, the boss couldn't deal with the other steel psychic who was fighting with Chen Ming.

That's why they were really chatting over video and never left each other's sight.

Of course, the boss has a wide range of channels and can get a lot of information at the first time without leaving home.

And he still doesn't know what the situation outside is like.

But after he came out, someone immediately handed him a document in silence without a good look.

Obviously, this look was not directed at Hu Yi, but because of what happened outside just now.

Hu Yi looked at the galaxy in the distance through the porthole again, then returned to his room and flipped through the document.

When he read halfway, his face had changed drastically.

He originally thought it was just a general defeat.

He never expected that a psychic would die today in an unknown place in the marginal star field. If Wu An hadn't stayed here, no one would know about it in his life.

And he died in the hands of a new psychic who had only become a psychic recently.

Hu Yi's mind flashed the last scene of the video call with Wu An.

The metal ball held by the robot behind Chen Ming was probably the relic left behind by the Iron Psychic after his death.

Combined with what Wu An had just said about the president's meeting with Chen Ming, he thought of many possibilities in an instant, each of which would cause him trouble.

Hu Yi immediately swiped quickly on the terminal with some nervousness, looking for anyone in his contacts who could help him.

Even if he didn't say that he could get rid of the trouble, at least he had to confirm whether the trouble was real.

When the president's contact information appeared in Hu Yi's eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, did not click, but continued to scroll down and found the contact information of the person who hired him.

But when he called, there was only a busy tone in the call.

While Hu Yi was calling.

War zone station.

Lieutenant General's office.

Lieutenant General and Tao Ying were here, but Zhang Feng was not there at this time.

The Lieutenant General was looking at the terminal and said, "The call cannot be made. The signal is blocked."

Tao Ying, who was looking outside and waiting for the result anxiously near the window, immediately turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, the signal is blocked"

Tao Ying immediately turned around, took out the terminal, looked down and asked, "Isn't the signal full?"

"It's too easy to forge a signal."

"What do you mean? Who dares..."

Tao Ying suddenly stopped talking halfway, his face pale.

There is no need to guess who can block the signal of a lieutenant general's office in the war zone station.

She was a bit aggressive at first, but she lost her momentum and asked tremblingly, "Why so fast?"

"You didn't dormant when you should have. Look, someone is here to take advantage of your misfortune?"

"And don't you think we have provoked too many people? Who can be protected? Your family?"

The lieutenant general deliberately emphasized the word "family".

Tao Ying immediately returned to his previous state and pointed at the lieutenant general and said, "What do you mean? Are you blaming me?"

The lieutenant general shook his head and put the self-defense pistol on the table into the drawer of the table.

Without saying a word, he continued to drink tea as if nothing had happened.

"Speak, what do you mean?"

Tao Ying walked quickly to the lieutenant general and slapped the desk.

However, at this moment, noisy footsteps suddenly came from the door.

Tao Ying panicked again and subconsciously took a few steps back until she bumped into the sofa.

The next moment, the door of the office was opened directly.

The internal inspection team of the army, wearing special military uniforms, filed in one after another, and everyone's face was as hard as cold iron.

The leader of the inspection team stepped forward and said to the two people in the room: "Lieutenant General Zhu Yijing, Lieutenant General Tao Ying, we have evidence of your private collusion with Lu De Zuojing, please let us go."

Zhu Yijing finished the last sip of tea and took the initiative to extend his hands to the inspection team.

Tao Ying's face was pale, and he swayed helplessly and slumped on the sofa next to him.

Then he was dragged up by the inspection team and forcibly taken away from the office.

A group of people walked between the office buildings.

The road that the inspection team was going to take had been cleared in advance, and no one noticed the embarrassment of the two lieutenant generals at this time, which was considered to be the last bit of face for them.

In the process of walking out of the office building and heading to the location where the spaceship the inspection team was riding was docked.

Zhu Yijing suddenly asked the team leader, "Can I make a phone call?"

The team leader did not refuse directly. After all, reporting problems as soon as possible is a choice that can relatively reduce some of his own faults.

He has seen too many cases.

So he asked back, "Who?"

"My deputy."

"Zhang Feng?"

"Yes."

The team leader had a strange expression on his face. After asking for instructions, he said, "Okay."

He took out the terminal of the lieutenant general that he had just confiscated and dialed Zhang Feng's number.

Obviously, Zhang Feng was not affected by the lieutenant general's affairs, and the lieutenant general knew the reason very well.

Soon, the call was connected, and the lieutenant general came up and asked directly, "Did you do it?"

Zhang Feng did not reply, but the lieutenant general seemed to have determined the answer.

"Well, I know, you do what you want to do."

It seems that the lieutenant general did not want to drag Zhang Feng into the water.

However, the team leader did not stop him. Anyway, the content of the communication would be monitored by someone, and words that should not be said would be blocked before they were passed to the other side.

He doesn't need to worry too much.

And they didn't find any violation of rules by Zhang Feng.

It seems that all Zhang Feng has done for so many years is to follow the lieutenant general.

Of course, everyone knows that Zhang Feng must have done more than what is on the surface, but everything requires evidence.

All the evidence shows that Zhang Feng did nothing, so they can't take him away for no reason.

Zhang Feng suddenly sighed and said: "I have always been doing what I want to do."

"But many times, when I am doing what I want to do, I have to do something that I can't even think of and will never do... very stupid things."

"Just like last time, he only needed to be a mascot there to get the credit, but someone insisted that he had enough performance..."

The person Zhang Feng was referring to was very clear, and the lieutenant general couldn't help but look at Tao Ying, who was too weak to stand up and had to rely on others to walk.

"People can't get rid of their emotions, so they will be confused when they care about others."

"In addition, I like laymen to guide experts. There is a difference between civilians and military officers after all."

As the lieutenant general said, he suddenly asked: "What do you think of me?"

The lieutenant general's career has ended, and he can basically spend the rest of his life in prison.

As the person who reported the lieutenant general, Zhang Feng knew this, so he could safely say what he really thought at this time.

"General, and it's on the lower side. You were the one who promoted me from the bottom, but you were also the one who threatened me with my family."

"And as you just said, there is a difference between civilians and officers. Let alone officers, I am not even a civilian now."

"So I am grateful to you and hate you, but overall, let it be."

"What about Tao Ying?"

"..."

Seeing Zhang Feng's silence, the lieutenant general sighed slightly in his heart, and then said: "Then answer me one last question. What are your plans for that person?"

Zhang Feng said without hesitation: "I will stay away from him. It's best not to have any connection with him in this life."

"Your plan outside has failed. Chen Ming survived, the fleet in the past was completely destroyed, and one psychic was lost. Is this what you want?"

However, Zhang Feng's last sentence was directly cut off by the person who was monitoring it, and it did not reach the ears of the lieutenant general.

The military discipline inspection committee continued to escort people onto their spacecraft, preparing to go to a higher-level military district.

However, there is only one military region higher than the Star Region Joint War Zone.

The Central Military Region of the Empire.

At this time.

On the Pirate Space Station.

Chen Ming had just asked the robot to drag the metal ball into the boss's store.

The boss was full of questions at first, but when he sensed a familiar spiritual energy fluctuation overflowing from the metal ball.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, came up and stretched out his hand to press the metal ball and said: "What's going on with you?"

Although he just knew some of the news from the outside world, it was also the news he got from other people.

Except for Chen Ming, everyone only saw the explosion that was enough to destroy the battleship.

There was no explanation of the specific situation inside the core after the explosion.

No one knows what happened inside.

So when Chen Ming dragged the ball over, the boss instantly had no concept of this situation in his mind.

Then Chen Ming explained seriously: "He is mentally retarded, absorbed the things affected by my spiritual energy, and then..."

Then he manually controlled the metal ball to restore it to a half-crippled human form in front of the boss.

When the Iron Psychic, who had returned to human form, began to absorb the surrounding metal objects again instinctively.

Chen Ming rolled him back.

The boss thought for a while and gave Chen Ming a thumbs up.

"Awesome."

Chen Ming didn't need to worry about the following things.

The order of the space station was almost completely restored when he came back.

His advance arrangements worked.

One of the two robots sent out successfully restored the power system of a space arm,

maintaining the power supply of some important equipment of the space station, but the price was that this space station was controlled by him.

Chen Ming believed that the company behind the space station must know this, but no one mentioned it, so he didn't take the initiative to say it.

Another robot sent out to find the location of the hacker also successfully controlled the hacker.

Even though he had a lot of sophisticated individual equipment, he still couldn't kill the robot with Chen Ming's ability.

With a stable power system supply, and the hacker was captured alive, there was no problem with the internal network.

And there were also the deleted but recorded data provided by Chen Ming.

The people in the cyber security department of the Administration can also quickly locate the left-wing elements that have entered the space station.

The entire Administration was mobilized.

Under the leadership of the deputy director, with the experience of the last time, all the problems within the Administration were quickly resolved, and a martial law order was quickly issued.

It didn't take long to completely suppress the chaos in the entire space station. Although the losses were still great, at least they would not continue to increase.

As for the director.

The people in the space station didn't find him, but Chen Ming did.

The director boarded his cruise ship again, probably preparing to go back to where he came from and find connections to smooth things over.

Then, he was sent back by Chen Ming himself in a spaceship.

Chen Ming didn't know what happened afterwards, but the factory director would definitely notify him and tell him what the company had found out during the interrogation.

On the side of Chen Ming and the boss.

The boss simply confirmed that the metal ball was indeed the steel psychic himself, and asked Chen Ming about his plan.

After learning Chen Ming's thoughts, he didn't say much.

The boss didn't know what the device that Yu Hui had delivered at the beginning was, but he still knew about Chen Ming's situation during this period.

Therefore, he also knew about the existence of the spiritual awakening nerve extractor.

By the way, he also knew that the Empire had obtained the manufacturing method of artificial spiritual awakening nerves and had successfully reproduced them.

As for the role of these reproduced artificial spiritual awakening nerves, it is basically research.

But there are also some that can be sold to the outside when the research institutes under the Empire's official research on spiritual awakening nerves lack funds.

Of course, the effect of implantation after those rich people buy it varies from person to person.

Under normal circumstances, when this kind of artificial spiritual awakening nerve is implanted in a non-psychic, it can actually be said to be completely meaningless except for slightly activating the mental power of the implanter.

It's like planting a field. First, you set up a shelf on the ground, but in the end you find that there are no seeds that can be planted. Then the shelf is useless.

The awakening of a psychic still depends on the individual.

If implanting an artificial awakening nerve can awaken psychic power, then psychics should have been everywhere.

But if it is such a known powerful psychic's awakening nerve, there may be many people who want it.

The metal ball is Chen Ming's own trophy, and he can do whatever he wants with it.

In any case, in the eyes of outsiders, when the explosion occurred, the steel psychic was already dead.

However, Chen Ming was good at asking for advice and asked the boss about the treatment of the steel psychic named Yan Xiong.

After all, Chen Ming thought carefully about the matter of buying and selling the awakening nerves of psychics and felt that it was a bit strange, and the extraction of the awakening nerves would most likely lead to the death of the psychic.

Chen Ming didn't care about killing people, but he still couldn't accept killing people in this way.

After all, he was not Yu Hui, and it was impossible for him to think absolutely rationally about what was good for him.

Just like when he destroyed the batch of powder needles of the smuggling fleet.

Of course, he knew how much money he could make if he sold this batch of goods.

But he didn't want to bear the consequences.

It was the same now. He couldn't do this to his kind.

If Yu Hui had the Qiling nerve, Chen Ming would just pull it out, but he had to think about it if it was someone else's.

So Chen Ming still hadn't made up his mind, and asked the boss if he had any plans to take over.

But the boss didn't really need it.

Although there were indeed conflicts between him and Yan Xiong, their conflicts were basically caused by Chen Ming, and now they ended because of Chen Ming.

He didn't need to care too much about Yan Xiong.

But after understanding Chen Ming's distress, the boss gave Chen Ming a paragraph introducing Zuo Jing.

There were only a few key words, such as cults, kidnapping, terrorist attacks on civilian facilities, smuggling, and frequent conversations with people about heart-to-heart things.

And clearly pointed out the fact that Yan Xiong and Zuo Jing were cooperating.

Then Chen Ming's psychological pressure was gone.

He didn't care how many times this kind of person died.

Of course, he still didn't want to do such a thing as pulling out people's Qiling nerves.

However, the boss also promised to ask people who have grudges against Yan Xiong. Who knows who might be interested?

If no one is interested, then Chen Ming might as well keep him.

A psychic can always be useful.

Moreover, if Chen Ming tries to replace all the metal on Yan Xiong, who has lost consciousness, with metal materials that he has controlled.

Who knows, he might be able to get a psychic who is completely controlled by him?

The boss's words also reminded Chen Ming of this possibility.

This is much more acceptable to him than pulling out a person's spiritual nerves.

However, what to do next depends on the specific situation.

While Chen Ming and the boss were talking about psychics.

The headquarters of Xinda Company had also received news from their pirate space station.

A board meeting was quickly organized.

This was a critical meeting, and the company needed to adjust its overall strategic direction.

Therefore, all directors had to come.

But when the meeting was about to start, there was still one person missing at the meeting table.

The chairman looked around and said, "Wait for him, he is the most important person in this meeting."

Since it was an online meeting, the others didn't quite know what the missing director was doing.

The director who hadn't gone to the meeting was talking on the phone in his office in the branch under his jurisdiction, and his tone was very irritable.

"I just gave him a casual job that could make a lot of money, and look at what he did! Ah! Look!"

A middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Your brother-in-law is just like that. Please take care of him."

"Didn't I take care of him several times before? Don't be greedy. If you sit in that position, someone will come to give you money. Didn't I say that?"

"What did he do? He stole the property of the employees of the black company! He colluded with outsiders! He was related to Zuo Jing! Which of these can a human do?"

"But he didn't know it was Zuo Jing."

"Would Zuo Jing write the word Zuo Jing on his face and tell you? You don't have a brain, right? Can he take that money?"

"But the main Is it Chen Ming ... "Isn't he who is more fucking? Did the company say that he has died?" Do you know how much do you want to lose? " In his own mood, he could only hammered his table and said, "My fucking is really ..." But suddenly, the director was calm and came down, saying, "Forget it." He took out a resignation report from the drawer of the desk, as well as the share transfer agreement. "I quit."

"Ah? You can't..."

"Get lost."

With one word, the director ended the call.

He turned off all the devices that could contact him, and then connected to the company's conference system.

When his projection appeared at the company's headquarters, he put the report on the table and said, "This is my resignation report..."

I accidentally wrote something that shouldn't be written, and forgot to replace some special nouns, so a chapter was blocked.

I posted it at around 9 o'clock in the morning, and I didn't check it for a day and only found it now
