Chapter 181 The Waves Surge

Chen Ming knew Yan Xiong's situation quite well.

After all, Yan Xiong had absorbed a lot of metal materials from the spacecraft and mechanical equipment controlled by Chen Ming.

So Chen Ming had no doubts about how to realize his idea.

It's just that Chen Ming hasn't figured out whether to use the top-level materials extracted from the psychic on the spacecraft armor or weapons.

Wait, that's not right.

Chen Ming suddenly realized that his idea was wrong.

When applying these high-strength materials, the knowledge he now has gradually become scarce.

This high-grade metal should be used in the most cutting-edge technology, such as the design of battleships or antimatter reactors.

Or it can be used to show the ship spirits whether this material has any special uses.

Instead of simply using it on spacecraft weapons and armor.

Chen Ming suddenly realized that he was like an ancient person who had obtained high-strength metal materials that were sufficient for aerospace technology.

Assuming that the ancients could use these materials at will, the greatest use for them would be to make a cold weapon or armor.

Their level of knowledge determines how they can use this material.

Although Chen Ming can use this material as a cold weapon, it is similar in nature and cannot fully apply it.

But it's okay, he still has time and many opportunities to learn.

Moreover, although he doesn't know how to use this material, his extraordinary ability is obviously different. As long as he is given the opportunity to study these things, Chen Ming will soon know the actual application value of this material.

In short, Chen Ming must first extract all the spiritual energy materials from Yan Xiong, which he may have accumulated for most of his life.

After confirming the idea, Chen Ming suddenly couldn't help but say: "I'm really born."

Chen Ming suddenly scolded himself and the boss didn't react a little, and asked: "What did you say?"

"It's okay, boss, please help me refuse it. I suddenly found that Yan Xiong seems to have other uses."

"Oh? What use?"

Chen Ming asked him to help find a buyer some time ago. Now he has found one and is willing to offer a good price.

The value of the fairy tree is not low, especially since the buyer still has a ten-year warranty period, which is enough for the fairy tree to produce something valuable.

Since Chen Ming chose to refuse, he must have his reasons.

Combined with Chen Ming's sudden scolding of himself just now.

The boss is very curious now.

Then Chen Ming has no need to hide it, and directly repeats his thoughts.

It can only be said that Yan Xiong's alloy furnace is too easy to use no matter how you look at it.

Even if the top metal with psychic properties is to some extent Yan Xiong's flesh and blood, Chen Ming has no psychological burden at this time.

After all, Chen Ming will use other metals to make up for the amount of digging away.

Overall, it is similar to feeding cats with coffee beans and making cat feces coffee.

Although it is not a cat or coffee now, the effect is similar.

And Chen Ming took the initiative to extract it, and there is no need to pull it out.

Besides, Chen Ming's mentality collapsed once when he knew that Sky Steel was the feces of Alturan Sky Eel.

When he knew that the door of the biological spacecraft was made of muscle tissue such as sphincter, his emotions were relatively stable.

So this time, he was in a good mood.

Anyway, Yan Xiong is now a ball, so it doesn't matter where the metal is extracted from.

After listening to Chen Ming's story, the boss said: "Now I know why you suddenly scolded yourself just now."

"It's a bit of a birth, but it's good. You should need such a thing that can produce alloys in the future."

"Then I will help you reject it on the other side? Are you sure you won't have the idea of ​​selling it in the future?"

Chen Ming responded: "Well, that's it."

Although the fairy tree is very good, not only its leaves can be used to make tea.

In addition, when Chen Ming was at Yu Hui's place before, and mentioned the fairy tree tea to the boss, the boss also mentioned several valuable things produced by the fairy tree.

But even with these, the value of the fairy tree to Chen Ming is definitely not as good as a universal alloy smelting furnace for his spiritual power.

After Chen Ming was determined in his idea, he sent a file to his boss and said, "By the way, this is the data recorded in the past few days."

The boss opened the file and took a look. After finding that the content was all data he couldn't understand, he closed the file and said, "Okay, I will pass it on. There should be nothing else. I'll hang up now."

"Wait a minute, boss. I want to ask the name of the new member of the association who designed the highest point."

"Shao Yang."

With the end of the communication with the boss.

Chen Ming's remaining matters in the empire were basically dealt with.

Apart from the pirate hunting he had been asking Gamma B to do, and the regular data record return from the High Point, there was basically nothing that Chen Ming needed to worry about.

In the next period of time, Chen Ming should live a relatively peaceful and busy life.

In addition to learning a lot of things and waiting for the completed starport to play its greatest role under the command of Brilliant.

Chen Ming also had to ask Gamma B to go to the space station occupied by Zuo Jing. It would be a waste if he didn't do it because of the bounty.

Not long after Chen Ming finished talking to the factory director and the boss.

Far away in the Asconia galaxy in the empire, the headquarters of the Xinda Company.

The company's board of directors meeting was being held.

The whole conference table was arguing fiercely at this time.

And the content of the argument was the news of the director's death that they had just received.

Some people said that this was a threat from Chen Ming, and the company could not go up to him with a smug face.

Some people thought that this was to help the factory director, and they should continue the tone they had set before and make friends with Chen Ming.

Some people were trying to be peacemakers, thinking that since the company had already fired the director in name, Chen Ming's actions and the company's attitude towards him were two completely different things, and there was no need to argue.

Of course, there were also people who fanned the flames. One director was happy to see these people at the same level as him lose face and argue over such things.

Even though there were a few new directors at the board meeting, there were only a dozen people in total, but the quarrels were like a vegetable market.

The chairman, who was sitting in the main seat, was not concerned about the specific content of the directors' arguments at this time.

Because what really made them quarrel was not Chen Ming's casual killing of a person, but the subsequent impact of Chen Ming's doing so.

It can only be said that the director's death was too scary.

He was burned to death by the high temperature inside the spacecraft on the spacecraft.

Although there must be arrangements from the space station, the person who finally implemented it must be Chen Ming, and only Chen Ming could do this.

The two had to make the directors consider whether Chen Ming might do the same to them in the future.

The directors had no means to confirm whether Chen Ming controlled a certain spacecraft, and there was indeed a possibility that they would die in the same way at Chen Ming's hands.

The more contact they had with Chen Ming, the higher the possibility of this happening.

After all, the company was a force, and they were businessmen, and forces and businessmen were definitely profit-seeking.

No one could guarantee that their relationship with Chen Ming would not change in this life, so the possibility of sudden death at any time without any signs would indeed make some directors worried.

However, the chairman in the main seat was not worried about this.

Because anyone who had understood the whole picture of the matter could see that the director was definitely courting death.

It was just that some of the directors did not believe it, that's all.

In addition, the factory director actually told the chairman about this matter in advance.

And he also said that Chen Ming was the one he specially called to deal with the director, which was also reported in advance.

Of course, the chairman must not tell anyone about this matter, after all, this was also a handle for the factory director.

He just had to remember that what was revealed in this matter was that Chen Ming was good to his friends.

There was no point in arguing at the board meeting.

So the chairman coughed twice and said, "Stop."

When the meeting room gradually quieted down, the chairman put a document on the screen next to him and said, "You can't just talk about it when evaluating Chen Ming. You need to see the evidence."

"When Chen Ming was still in Yuhui, at the joint meeting organized by the 14th Corps."

"The 14th Corps specially found several people who majored in psychology and made a personality model for Chen Ming to analyze his personality."

"You saw the result."

The chairman pointed to the content displayed on the screen behind him and said, "Chen Ming is a good person."

"At least you are not idle and mess with him. He will definitely not mess with you for no reason. He is even good to his own people."

"If you have any definite evidence to prove that Chen Ming is not a good person and will come to the board of directors to kill people, Let me mention it now. "

A director immediately said: "Isn't the death of the director of the Space Station Administration the best evidence? Chen Ming's psychology must have been tortured and twisted by Yu Hui, so he was so cruel when he came back."

The chairman nodded and said, "Oh."

"Then explain that before Zuo Jing and the war zone invaded the space station, someone assassinated Chen Ming, but was only broken by Chen Ming and his ability to move. "

"And when Zuo Jing invaded the space station, several people with explosives tied to their bodies blocked Chen Ming at the entrance of the No. 1 space wall. Chen Ming did not directly kill these Zuo Jings who were mixed in the crowd, but took the risk to enter the dock. "

"He directly killed people, blew up a bunch of ordinary people, and then casually hid in the space station. With five cruisers outside, who could get in? Isn't it more convenient?"

"If Chen Ming's personality is twisted, it should have been revealed before this."

The chairman was not angry at this time, because he knew that this was the situation that must be maintained for the company to operate.

Someone must raise objections on some things. Even if there is some internal friction in the entire company, it must not be his one-man show.

"In short, even if you say you oppose continuing to communicate with Chen Ming, there is no way to change the fact that Chen Ming can control the spacecraft. Isn't the risk of being killed by Chen Ming greater?"

"If you have a good relationship with Chen Ming, Chen Ming will come to kill you?"

The chairman's eyes locked on the director who had just spoken and said: "If there are still opinions, any of you can directly initiate a vote to decide whether to continue to maintain a friendly relationship with Chen Ming."

No one spoke at the conference table.

The directors all knew that they could quarrel verbally, but in reality, they would definitely put interests first.

Just as the chairman said, there was actually basically no possibility and risk of Chen Ming coming to kill them. On the contrary, interests were more realistic.

The chairman shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it have been resolved earlier?"

"Okay, today's meeting is mainly about two things. The first is antimatter reactor technology."

"We first obtained the patent with the support of the government. Now the technology has been initially verified. It's time to start industrial production and prepare for large-scale testing."

The director sitting next to the chairman asked, "Does it mean that antimatter engine technology can start to make money for us?"

"Yes, so we can't avoid the second thing today, which is Chen Ming."

"We all know that several companies in the empire are researching antimatter technology, but we are the first to get the results."

"The antimatter shock wave weapon of Yuhui that Chen Ming brought back is indispensable."

"And because we took the initiative to break off relations with Chen Ming before, we gave him some patents."

The chairman said, moving his fingers to display a list on the display behind him.

Then he crossed out most of the patents on it, leaving only one line.

"Chen Ming sold some of the patents back to us before, which are the ones that were crossed out, and got a sum of cash."

"But he didn't sell the most critical patent for the antimatter reactor."

A director who had just joined the board of directors said, "So cunning?"

"Yes, he is smart. Although he was just a team leader before, he is not a person who doesn't understand technology. He knows that the reactor in antimatter technology is the most valuable."

"So what should we do? Find a way to buy the patent back?"

The director who liked to add fuel to the fire before took the opportunity to say, "We have many ways to get Chen Ming's patent back in a reasonable way without spending money."

The director in front The director who was talking behind him immediately glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't mean that."

The chairman ignored the directors' intrigues and said, "Chen Ming deliberately left the patent for the antimatter reactor before, so it is impossible for him to let go of the patent. We want to make money, so we can't avoid him."

"In that case, we might as well take the initiative to use this opportunity to bring him closer to our company."

"From Chen Ming's performance over the past 20 years, we can see that he is very motivated, wants to make progress, and has a strong ability to learn on his own."

"In addition to money, our company can provide him with many technologies within the company that he could not access at his previous level, and provide him with many learning opportunities, or simply seek cooperation. No. "

"Cooperation is the best way to build a relationship."

"How do we start?"

"It still starts with money. Send the money earned from the antimatter reactor in proportion to the patent."

"Then things like technology cannot be sent directly. There is no benefit if they are sent directly."

"We can just trade normally with Chen Ming. We can use our company's internal technology to exchange the technology he got from Yu Hui with Chen Ming."

"Then we can take the initiative to ask Yu Hui about our technology and solve his problems in learning our technology."

"After this, the relationship will be restored. We can come back later. Isn't it easy to have a more in-depth exchange?"

A famous director raised his hand and said, "Uh, Chairman, how do you know that Chen Ming must have the technology of Yuhui?"

The chairman looked at the newly joined director with some doubts and said, "If you were Chen Ming, you have the ability to control the spacecraft and Yuhui, then you would do nothing and run away from Yuhui without taking anything?"

"No, but what if the technology he has is some escort destroyers and other technologies that we have already studied thoroughly?"

The chairman was even more confused and asked, "You can control cruisers, but you only have destroyer technology?"

"Uh... just ignore what I said."

The chairman nodded and returned to the previous topic: "But we can't be so direct. Chen Ming must have a bad impression of us now, and giving money may not necessarily restore the relationship."

"Let's use an indirect way, starting with Wu An."

The chairman looked at the director in charge of the Pirate Space Station.

He immediately said: "The relationship between our company and Wu An on the space station is still good. Our relationship with Chen Ming has not affected Chen Ming's attitude towards us too much."

"But Wu An has not clearly expressed any intention to recruit us."

"But since he has been staying on our space station, he basically has no chance to contact other forces. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will eventually get along with us."

The chairman nodded and said, "That's right."

"And Wu An helped the Psychic Society get a new person back some time ago. You all know the highest point he designed, right?"

"The prototype spaceship of the Supreme Point is the one that Chen Ming drove away. He also has technical cooperation with Chen Ming. Finding him is actually a way to contact Chen Ming indirectly."

"To find someone we don't know in the Psychic Society, we must start with someone we know, so this matter comes back to Wu An."

"Find Wu An, whether it is to find a way to contact Chen Ming through him, or to contact the newcomer named Shao Yang in the Psychic Society."

"And there will be a good opportunity in a while."

The chairman said, and displayed a press release from the official media of the Empire on the screen, with a photo of Bai Quan attached to it.

"Bai Quan, the commander of the 14th Army in the Galo Star Region, has returned to the 14th Army's base to prepare for promotion to lieutenant general."

"Bai Quan destroyed two battleships in Yuhui's territory, one of which was a new model battleship, and he even obtained some data of the new model battleship."

"With such a great achievement, the Empire is now promoting him as a model of the army."

"Look."

The chairman displayed countless press releases issued by official or official-backed news media on the screen beside him, all of which were reports on Bai Quan.

The significance of the official actions is clear, and therefore attracted countless small newspapers and magazines to publish the same articles.

It seems that Bai Quan is being promoted as the youngest lieutenant general in the Empire in recent years and a hero of the Empire.

A director was somewhat keenly aware of some of the problems and said, "It's so loud that it's hard not to wonder if the Empire is going to make some big moves in the next few years?"

The chairman did not deny it and said, "It's very likely, so I asked the company to adjust the production line and control the production of civilian spacecraft to military use."

"But we are not talking about this now. What we want to say is that Wu An will go to this promotion ceremony."

"In addition, there is news that the 14th Corps has also invited Shao Yang, the designer of the highest point."

"It can only be said that Shao Yang just came out of Tachyon Technology and has a supreme design as his family background. He is indeed a good target for recruitment."

"Whether Shao Yang will go or not, Wu An will definitely go, that's for sure."

"In fact, I also plan to get in touch with Baiquan more."

The chairman suddenly changed the content on the projection behind him, replacing it with a document recording the recent situation that appeared in the public eye and a document of the 14th Corps' public performance.

"Looking at these two documents, have you noticed anything special?"

Before the directors found out, the chairman explained: "The day Chen Ming escaped from Yu Hui was exactly the day Bai Quan went to Yu Hui."

"And Bai Quan, who had just arrived in the Galo star field a few months ago, suddenly led the fleet deep into Yu Hui's hinterland, found Yu Hui's giant dock, and knew that there was a newly designed battleship inside, and destroyed it."

"Then Wu An, who had almost no intersection with Bai Quan before, suddenly agreed to go to a place as far away as the headquarters of the 14th Legion to participate in a promotion ceremony."

"You should understand these news that can be analyzed on the surface, right?"

Several directors looked a little embarrassed, but they covered it up immediately.

"So the conclusion is clear, Chen Ming and Bai Quan have additional cooperation in private."

"They did not conflict because of the previous problems within the 14th Corps, but came together."

"We can't continue to waste the opportunity to contact Chen Ming."

"So, Wu An, Bai Quan and Shao Yang are all choices for indirect contact with Chen Ming."

"It just so happens that our relationship with the 14th Corps is pretty good now. Although it's a bit embarrassing, it shouldn't be a problem to get an invitation letter."

"I can take someone to Bai Quan's promotion ceremony. Our chance to get a good relationship with Chen Ming is now."

After the chairman finished speaking, he signaled the directors to speak freely.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour and ended.

After that.

A peaceful week passed quickly.

A week later, Chen Ming was still in the planetary orbit of the mechanical city, leading a busy life every day.
