Chapter 180 Yan Xiong's Application Method

The next day.

At the agreed time, Chen Ming dialed Bai Quan's number.

According to Bai Quan's previous statement, the best way to teach command techniques is to have a direct video call.

So Chen Ming did so.

Bai Quan's appearance soon appeared on the terminal screen.

Chen Ming said without any nonsense: "I'm ready here, we can start now."

"Okay."

Bai Quan responded, but there was no other movement.

Chen Ming couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where is the instructor?"

Bai Quan patted his chest and said: "I'll come in person."

"Uh... You don't deal with your business? Your lieutenant general promotion ceremony is not so fast, right?"

"It's okay"

Chen Ming stared at the video call, Bai Quan, who was wearing a formal suit and obviously going to do something, asked again: "Is it really okay?"

"It's really okay."

"Okay."

Bai Quan said so, so he had nothing to say.

Chen Ming projected the screen of Bai Quan on the terminal onto the wall next to him, and took out another terminal and said, "I have received the textbook. Where do we start?"

Bai Quan also took out the newly compiled textbook that had been greatly revised from the basic textbook and analyzed Chen Ming's performance in several recorded battles that Chen Ming had participated in in advance, and said, "Basic terms of command."

After Bai Quan began to teach Chen Ming formally.

Two days passed in a flash.

Although Chen Ming was busy almost every moment, he had almost adapted to it after two days.

Today, after Chen Ming finished his daytime study, he took the opportunity to count the situation of the mechanical tribes that he had to go to the warehouse at the highest point from time to time to control during the two days of study.

It can only be said that he was limited by the need to physically contact these mechanical tribes to control them.

In addition, the mechanical tribes themselves are not dead objects, and they cannot be directly transported in the way of industrial assembly lines.

As a result, Chen Ming's efficiency in controlling the mechanical tribes is very low.

Even as the number of mechanical races controlled by Chen Ming increases, the efficiency of transporting mechanical races is improving.

But so far, the proportion of mechanical races controlled by him in the entire mechanical race city is only more than 20%.

If the efficiency can continue to increase at the current rate, it will take at least half a month for him to completely complete the control of the mechanical races in the city.

Such efficiency makes Chen Ming want to let the Queen of Zerg in his hand take the newly cultivated Zerg to actively attack the mechanical race.

After all, the Queen of Zerg can still rely on the hive mind network to protect the consciousness of those Zerg sub-individuals.

And once the mechanical race is damaged in battle, it is very easy to control it.

It may even allow the Queen of Zerg to actively evolve some Zerg individual abilities that are more suitable for combat in battle.

But in the end, Chen Ming still held back and did not implement this idea.

Because he found that the hive mind network of the mechanical races in the city had a big problem.

The mechanical races here are different from the clustered mechanical races faced by the empire. They are independent.

Their hive mind network is limited to these scattered individuals, and there is no main consciousness strong enough to guide the mechanical race here.

This means that all the children of the mechanical race will not be saved by the honeycomb network and wait to be implanted into new bodies after their bodies die.

Instead, they die directly and completely.

Chen Ming has also confirmed this point when he actually controlled these mechanical races in the past few days.

In the past few days, about ten mechanical races died naturally every day in the city due to the aging of equipment.

But these dead mechanical races did not revive in a mechanical race body that had not been implanted with mechanical race consciousness and had not been completely aged to the point of being unusable in the factory in the city.

In other words, there was no mechanical race consciousness in any mechanical race body.

The overall number of mechanical races is declining.

This can clearly show that there is no powerful consciousness that dominates the entire honeycomb network in the honeycomb consciousness constructed by those independent mechanical races.

As a result, the mechanical races connected to the network cannot be effectively regulated at all.

Once a mechanical race dies, it is really dead.

This means that all the mechanical races lost in the battle will reduce the number of mechanical races that Chen Ming controls in the future, and eventually lead to less spiritual power feedback.

Once the battle breaks out, Chen Ming can't stop it just by thinking about it.

So he doesn't want to waste time on these mechanical races that he will definitely be able to control in the future.

Anyway, he still needs time for his Yuhui individuals to explore the surrounding galaxies, and controlling the mechanical race is not that urgent.

In addition, the universe is so big that Chen Ming will definitely need to land on some other planets in the future. He will always encounter some dangerous creatures in groups, and there will always be opportunities for the Zerg to appear.

While Chen Ming was thinking about the mechanical race, dinner was soon over.

Just as Chen Ming was preparing to continue studying the technical documents related to the cruisers that Bai Quan had given him tonight, and to ask Chaofan some questions and solve the problems left over from yesterday.

Chen Ming suddenly received a communication from the factory director after several days.

"Xiao Ming, I have almost finished the interrogation."

Chen Ming was no longer in a hurry, and prepared all the documents he had planned to learn, and then said to the factory director: "Okay, I'm listening, you go ahead."

Although he had already learned the general situation from Bai Quan, it would be fine to listen to it again.

The factory director cleared his throat and repeated the whole thing in detail.

After all, the interrogation at the space station lasted so long, so the information obtained was more detailed than what Bai Quan had roughly explained to Chen Ming before.

The factory director even told Chen Ming about the director from the time he took office until he escaped on a cruise ship, but was brought back by Chen Ming.

All the illegal and unlawful things done by the director were listed, and even the time of each thing was accurate to the hour.

Of course, Chen Ming didn't care about the director's corruption and bribery. If he didn't offend the factory director and him, he wouldn't care at all.

So Chen Ming only listened carefully to the part about the director's cooperation with the military in the war zone.

The general content was basically the same as what Bai Quan said, and it was meaningless even if he knew the detailed time point.

When the factory director talked to Chen Ming, he could hear that Chen Ming was drowsy and had no interest at all.

So he suddenly said: "In addition, we have captured two left-wing elements on the space station before. They did not dare to self-destruct. Their thoughts are not so firm."

"We interrogated the two people and found out the location of a left-wing base. According to the director's previous communication records, we can verify that the result of the interrogation is correct."

"It is an independent space station like the mining space station you have been in before. It has been infiltrated by the left-wing and is under the control of the left-wing."

"The bounty has been issued. The space station is completely closed and waiting for people to deal with it."

"But there seems to be no movement from the 14th Legion."

"Oh?"

Chen Ming was no longer sleepy when the factory director mentioned this.

There is never too much money.

Gamma B is now running around the Galo star field looking for pirates to catch.

Since there is now a cult organization nearby.

For Chen Ming, as long as there is a bounty, cults and pirates are the same.

Although the target is a space station.

But a space station of the size of a mining space station does not have cruiser-level shields and large weapons like the pirate space station.

Chen Ming was not afraid at all.

But there was one thing he had to confirm: "How much is the reward for these left-wing elements?"

"The reward for the leader of the left-wing elements is 500 million given by the 14th Legion and the government. After all, the scale of a mining space station is there."

"The scattered left-wing elements on other space stations should be able to make up 500 million."

Chen Ming recalled the situation of the mining space station in his mind and said, "I always feel that compared with the damage caused by these left-wing elements, the reward is a bit small."

"Even if it was a mining space station thirty years ago, it would cost at least tens of billions for development and construction, right?"

The factory director thought about it and said, "Well... about the same."

"But this is the original price. If depreciation is taken into account, the space station is not that valuable. It is normal to be discounted by half."

"This 1 billion is already 20% of the 5 billion after depreciation, which is not bad."

Chen Ming thought about it and felt that it was true.

It would be outrageous if the reward for these terrorists could exceed the value of the space station they occupied.

Just when Chen Ming was about to continue asking about the specific situation of the bounty target, the factory director suddenly said, "But."

"That space station is a vegetation research station used to test the special effects of stellar radiation on vegetation on local habitable planets."

"The 'Harmonious Vegetation Research Institute Company' behind the space station has added an additional bounty with requirements."

"As long as the main structure of the space station is not damaged by more than 10%, an additional 300 million will be paid. At that time, a special appraisal company will determine the damage to the space station."

"If the above research results are preserved, an additional 500 million will be given. If the kidnapped researchers are rescued, there will be additional rewards depending on the number of people and the identity of the researchers."

"You decide."

Chen Ming lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "But since it is an open bounty, there should be more than one person going there at that time. These additional requirements may not be met, right?"

The factory director quickly gave a very convincing answer.

"It depends on luck."

"Anyway, it's first come, first served. If you take down the space station first, complete the additional goal, and record evidence, then they have to pay even if something unexpected happens later."

"If you arrive later, generally speaking, cooperation will be given priority, but when necessary..."

The factory manager didn't continue, but his meaning was very clear.

"In this case, if you have completed the goal, it is best to contact the company directly, and then let your spacecraft wait there for a while until someone comes to receive it."

"The company will definitely help you deal with the things later, and you don't need to collect the bounty in person."

"Of course, the same applies to the previous situation. You can also contact them. Since their company is willing to give an additional batch of bounties, they will definitely be willing to let them deal with these left-wing elements in person. Just leave it to them."

"Since they are willing to pay, why don't they arrange a fleet to fight?"

Uh... You don't think it's cheap to call a fleet, do you?

For a company of this scale, if it were normal, they would need seven or eight destroyers and twenty or thirty escorts.

The combat models combined would be a lot of money.

Even if they already have them in the company, these ships don't count.

That person has to pay, right?

The casualty compensation will also cost money.

The Marines landing on the space station will also cost money.

Besides, if something unexpected happens at the company,

their own ships will definitely not be able to move at the first time.

The fleet needs to be approved to be mobilized within the empire.

It will cost extra money to speed up the trial, right?

If you count them in such a scattered way, it would be better to directly hire bounty hunters with armed ship licenses, and special people like you.

"By the way, the company has helped you get the armed ship license, so your fleet here doesn't have to be caught by the patrol every day, and you have to contact the 14th Legion."

Hearing this, Chen Ming suddenly smiled.

The factory manager immediately asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Ming explained, "Some time ago, when I first came to the Pirate Space Station and hid my identity, I really wanted such a license, but I could only think about it."

"Now I don't want it or need it anymore, and it was just delivered to me."

The factory manager shrugged subconsciously and said, "The strength you show is the reason for you to get it. Even if you don't want it, someone will give it to you. This is the way of the world."

"I know."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and accepted the license with some emotion in his heart.

Then he said: "Okay, then I will go back to this space station, but my psychic..."

"It doesn't matter. In the past, psychics also had conflicts with ordinary people on some things. Just sign a notarized agreement with the local government at that time."

"Psychics in the empire must also abide by the law honestly in the public eye. Remember not to make mistakes in this kind of thing, otherwise it may affect your cooperation with other people in the future."

"I understand, I also like people who abide by the rules."

Chen Ming agreed, and suddenly he remembered something and asked: "Now that it's like this, should the director be killed?"

"The director should be dead. The company has a little relationship with Zuo Jing because of him, which led to the government If they want to investigate us, the loss will be quite serious. "

"Although the relationship between the company and Zuo Jing has been cleared, he will definitely not survive, so it doesn't matter whether he is dealt with or not, he will die in the end."

"But for me, it is best to kill him."

Chen Ming understood and said, "No problem, where is the director now?"

"On his cruise ship."

"The cruise ship will be sent back as one of the evidences of his mistakes. We have temporarily transformed a cell on it to prevent him from living too comfortably."

"What a coincidence?"

"It is indeed a coincidence."

The tone of the factory director's words at this time made Chen Ming certain that the factory director must have told others and made such arrangements on purpose.

There is nothing to say.

Chen Ming knew what he would do next.

It can only be said that it is normal for people in that position to get some benefits, but if they bring it to the factory director and have ideas about his things, then they have provoked the wrong person.

And Chen Ming remembered what the factory director said to him at the beginning.

Even if the current director died, this position used for interest exchange was given to someone else, and the person who took over might continue to cause trouble.

It would be best if his death would deter the person who took over later.

The more miserable the director's death, the better.

However, Chen Ming did not want to affect the other people on the ship, as they were all innocent.

So in the end, he thought about it, if he wanted to meet the director's needs...

Chen Ming looked at the situation of the cruise ship he had controlled.

At this time, the cruise ship had left the pirate space station and was sailing in the hyperspace channel.

In a renovated small warehouse inside the spaceship, the director, who had lost a lot of weight but still looked like a fat pig, was imprisoned.

He was covered with scabs all over his body and lay on a narrow bed that didn't fit him at all.

Although he was asleep at this time, his face was still in pain.

However, Chen Ming didn't have any pity in his heart anyway. He should put his mind back to where it should be when he did things. Since he didn't do that, he deserved to suffer now.

Chen Ming could see through the surveillance in the room that the director's hands and feet were wearing electronic shackles, and even moving was difficult.

The electronic shackles have perfect functions, so there are no guards inside and outside the room.

There is even no one in the nearby rooms.

There is nothing to say.

Chen Ming slightly modified the heat dissipation circuit of the spaceship to meet his ideas. .

The effect of the modified heat dissipation circuit is also very simple, that is, the heat dissipation system of the spaceship will concentrate all the heat that should have been dissipated and discharge it into the director's cell.

In order to prevent the spread of other people, Chen Ming also locked all the permissions of several rooms around, and even the main control terminal could not be opened.

The screams that suddenly sounded in the room naturally did not reach the ears of other people on the spacecraft.

However, the main control room of the spacecraft saw what was happening on the monitor at this time.

But the person in charge of the main control room now seemed to have no idea that the director was struggling in the room filled with high temperature.

He just took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and then turned off the monitoring in the temporary cell.

About half an hour later.

The person in charge called the guard on the ship and led him to the cell where the permissions had been unlocked.

At this time, the high temperature in the cell had dissipated, and the heat dissipation circuit was modified by Chen Ming back to its original state, and even optimized.

On the shriveled body of the director on the floor of the room, they found a terminal that recorded all the crimes of the director.

The crime recorded on the first page of the terminal was the record of his taking kickbacks from the repair factory.

Everyone who saw the situation here was 100% sure that it was Chen Ming who did it, and there was substantial evidence.

But no one would mention this, at least no one on the spacecraft would mention it.

Just treat it as the death of an insignificant little person.

In this way, the matter of the space station was completely concluded.

Chen Ming quickly sent the video of the whole process to the factory director.

The factory director was surprised by Chen Ming's efficiency.

Chen Ming and the factory director chatted for a while, and then hung up the call.

After that, Chen Ming thought about it and decided to call the boss again.

But just before he did so, the boss happened to call at this time.

"Xiao Ming, someone is interested in your Yan Xiong."

"They say they are willing to sell a psychic plant that has entered a stable cultivation state."

"What psychic plant?"

"Fairy tree,"

"They can provide a special cultivation chamber and cultivation method, and can arrange people to take care of it in the next ten years."

"If this psychic plant has an accident within ten years, they can compensate you with a new one, and the ten-year agreement will start from the beginning."

"But correspondingly, they also hope that you can help stabilize Yan Xiong's condition in the future and don't let him wake up."

The boss's words seemed to indicate that the people who wanted to trade with him knew his situation, so Chen Ming asked: "Who needs it?"

"A CEO of a company called Harmony Mining, who is also a friend of mine."

Chen Ming was stunned when he heard what the boss said. The name seemed a little familiar.

The name of the company whose space station the factory manager just told him was occupied by Zuo Jing seemed to be Harmony.

So Chen Ming immediately checked and found that it was indeed the same company.

The main body of this company is the Harmony Mining Company, and the Plant Research Station is a space station of a subsidiary of the mining company that specializes in plant-type scientific research.

The boss of a mining company wants Yan Xiong, so what use is Yan Xiong to them...

Hiss——

Chen Ming suddenly reacted.

Yan Xiong, a metal psychic, seems to be able to be used as a smelting tool for alloys.

Without waiting for the boss to continue speaking.

Chen Ming realized that his idea was absolutely feasible.

Yan Xiong had lost consciousness at this time, and only his psychic energy could instinctively absorb the surrounding metal to repair his body.

And Chen Ming can control all the metal materials on Yan Xiong's body, prevent it from doing so, and allow it to do so at the same time.

This means that as long as he deliberately adjusts it with psychic energy, adjusts the proportion of the materials he needs, and actively allows Yan Xiong to absorb it.

Then Yan Xiong will fuse these metals into alloys by himself.

Each alloy fused in this way will be a perfect alloy.

Then, Chen Ming could dig out the alloy.

This was probably what the boss of the mining company thought.

Even at this moment, Chen Ming had an even more outrageous idea in his mind.

He could extract the most basic alloy materials from Yan Xiong that made up his body.

These materials, which were reinforced with countless metal materials and were strong enough to resist the explosive power that could destroy the battleship, had unique value in the world.

And as long as Chen Ming wanted, he could completely extract these unique materials piece by piece and replace them with other low-level materials.

And it would not affect Yan Xiong's survival at all, nor would it affect Chen Ming's psychic control over him, but would only cause his physical strength to decline.

But this was more in line with Chen Ming's idea of ​​using his body to refine the alloy.

And those top-notch materials that were at least of special grade and had psychic fluctuations could certainly be used in many places.

I couldn't hold it in, and it was reviewed again
