Chapter 182 Unexpected Reward, Unexpected Gain

Although a week had passed since Chen Ming talked with the factory manager.

However, at this moment, he was counting the harvest he had just received from the space station hijacked by Zuo Jing.

Just before, the moment when Chen Ming finished talking with his boss.

He directly asked Gamma B to move to the coordinates of the hijacked space station.

But when he arrived.

The situation at the Vegetation Research Station was a little more troublesome than he had imagined.

It was not that someone had already fixed the space station before him.

After all, when he came here, this galaxy located in the edge star field with a star with a special light radiation wavelength.

Except for a few Zuo Jing spacecrafts that rushed over to self-destruct when they saw Chen Ming and were blown up by Chen Ming, there was nothing.

Chen Ming did not even see the people from the Harmonious Vegetation Research Institute.

At the same time, it was not that the Zuo Jing elements had blown up the space station.

The space station was still intact in the orbit of the only planet in the galaxy that was in the habitable zone, but it was a barren planet without life.

It was not even how crazy Zuo Jing's subsequent counterattack was.

Because apart from a few patrol ships from Zuojing coming to cause trouble when Chen Ming's fleet entered the galaxy from hyperspace.

There was basically no other movement in the galaxy, and even no movement at the space station.

Of course, Chen Ming also knew that three days had passed since the incident until his fleet arrived at the galaxy, and the movement should have been completed a few days ago.

And this is according to the information given by the factory director.

Although the space station of this Harmony Company was occupied, the communication equipment and other things were completely fine. There was no means of external communication blocked like the former mining space station.

Therefore, the company can directly lock some permissions of the space station from the outside from a distance and shut down some functions of the space station.

Turning the space station into a large piece of scrap metal.

However, Chen Ming could not rule out that there was someone behind Zuojing who provided them with support, so he was skeptical about whether some equipment on the space station, especially defensive weapons, could still be used.

But to be honest, the weapons on the space station were just so-so.

This space station, which is less than two kilometers in size, is a research space station at best. It is not a battleship specially used for combat and cannot be equipped with any powerful weapons.

What really troubles Chen Ming is the wreckage of various ships floating densely around the space station.

All these wreckages come from the available spacecraft on the space station.

Now they have all turned into fragments.

Probably all blown up by Zuo Jing.

If it were just the wreckage of the spacecraft, it would be fine.

Chen Ming can just open the spacecraft shield, take the Enforcer of the 14th Legion as the leader, and then follow the five Hammerheads to attack side by side.

But it can be found on the sensors of Chen Ming's fleet spacecraft.

On these broken spacecraft wreckages, Zuo Jing still maliciously placed a large number of explosives that could be triggered at any time.

A slight collision might explode.

If Chen Ming's spacecrafts really lined up and hit it, it would definitely explode.

Chen Ming doesn't care if only his own spacecraft is blown up.

However, he was still unclear about the situation inside the space station, and was not sure whether the aftermath of the explosion would affect the space station.

If there was a chain explosion, it would be fatal if the space station exploded.

At this time, in addition to the left-handed elements, there were still many living researchers on the space station.

According to the information Chen Ming had previously learned about the content of the bounty.

Because the space station can be controlled from the outside, and the management of the space station responded promptly, many researchers successfully hid in the living area of ​​the space station, which has the highest safety factor and can be regarded as a large escape capsule.

Only some researchers were caught by the rioting left-handed elements, so the loss of personnel in the space station was not much during the riot.

And there are food, shelter, and various infrastructure in the living area, which is actually not bad.

But now, the situation has changed.

Although Chen Ming did not see anyone from Harmony when he arrived.

But they do have spacecraft coming every day to patrol at the risk of being bombed by the left-handed elements.

Confirm the general situation of the space station and publish the information.

After these few days have passed.

Since the left-handed elements controlled the power system of the space station and directly cut off the power supply to the entire space station.

Only the emergency backup power supply that was not controlled by any means was still running, maintaining the survival of the space station personnel to a minimum.

So now, the situation in the living area is probably not optimistic.

People must be rescued as soon as possible.

But the wreckage of the spacecraft with a large number of explosives outside almost blocked all possibilities of using spacecraft for rescue.

And at present, the communication between the space station and the outside world has been completely disconnected in the case of power outage, and it is impossible to confirm the situation of the personnel on the space station.

Zuo Jing not only turned the space station into an iron-shelled turtle, but also an iron-shelled turtle with thorns.

Even if this iron-shelled turtle moves a little, there is a chance that it will explode directly.

Let alone the rescue operation, just dealing with the actions of Zuo Jing elements is very troublesome.

Chen Ming also thought about simply giving up all the researchers above and only dealing with Zuo Jing.

Even so, any sudden situation may cause the entire space station to be completely scrapped, and there is no need to think about extra bonuses.

It is no wonder that Chen Ming's fleet came here several days after the bounty was issued, and no one stayed here to continue to deal with this thing.

This is really a troublesome bounty.

But recently, I don’t know if Chen Ming has killed too many pirates or what.

In short, there is no news of new pirates from Yan Jing and Lao Wu.

This group of Zuo Jing is already the only criminal with a large bounty around.

The remaining pirates are either too far away or the bounty is too low, and they can only earn fuel costs for a trip.

So now Chen Ming did not give up immediately, but stared at the space station inside the edge of the galaxy.

He did not believe that he had no stable way to deal with this space station.

For this reason, Chen Ming deliberately put aside his studies temporarily.

He stared at the space station and the data scanned by the sensor for several hours with Gamma B.

In the middle, his fleet circled the galaxy several times.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the fleet of Harmony Company that came to patrol every day.

The other party had heard of Chen Ming and knew that Chen Ming's fleet had significantly improved the security of the entire edge star field during this period.

So after the ship of Harmony Company confirmed that the interior of the galaxy had been scanned several times by Chen Ming and was already safe, it came up and showed great enthusiasm.

They directly sent some of the information they had just collected yesterday that had not been shared.

They even provided Chen Ming with a design blueprint of the space station that was more detailed than the space station map they had made public.

Then they ran away in order not to disturb Chen Ming.

With the blueprint and Chen Ming's observation for several hours

Hard work pays off

Chen Ming finally found that the sensor array on one side of the space station was mostly damaged, and only a small part was still working.

Although the remaining sensors can definitely detect obvious things like the spacecraft engine, some other things are not necessarily.

So Chen Ming calculated the orbit at a certain distance outside the galaxy with the help of Chaofan, a monster beside him with a computing ability at the star zone level.

Directly relying on his temporary acceleration device, he threw a robot carrying a gamma core in the direction of the space station.

Smoothly passed through all the explosives distributed around the space station, avoiding the scanning of those sensors that had been damaged.

Then found a gap on the outer wall of the space station.

Then, there was nothing else.

The bounty ended when Chen Ming touched the line of the space station.

Not counting the way here.

From the time Chen Ming arrived at the edge of the galaxy to the time his robot touched the space station.

It took a total of five hours.

Four hours of which were spent observing the situation.

Fifty-nine minutes waiting for the robot to speed up and fly over.

It took a total of one minute to solve the remaining problems.

Chen Ming originally thought that there would be a fight between a spacecraft and a micro space station, but it did not happen.

After the space station was completely controlled by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming could control all inanimate objects on any space station.

This naturally included the high-powered explosives that were almost everywhere in all areas of the space station and could definitely blow up the space station.

Chen Ming instantly dismantled all dangerous objects on the space station, including these explosives, and dismantled all weapons, protective gear and clothing in the hands of the left-handed elements.

Then he took over and repaired the control center of the space station that was destroyed by the left-handed elements.

Successfully controlled the entire space station and blocked all the rooms where the left-handed elements existed.

There were a few left-handed elements who wanted to commit suicide because they had lost all their weapons and had no ability to resist.

But they were immediately completely wrapped by the surging metal liquid from the wall next to them, which restricted all their actions.

Even if they wanted to bite their tongues to commit suicide, Chen Ming directly filled their mouths with metal liquid and solidified it directly, so they couldn't even close their mouths, let alone commit suicide.

If these Zuo Jing members were able to hold their breath to commit suicide, then they were awesome, and Chen Ming admired them.

In short, none of the hundreds of Zuo Jing members on the entire space station could make any resistance under Chen Ming's spiritual power.

As for the researchers caught by Zuo Jing.

Chen Ming can only say that he regrets it.

These people on the space station of Zuo Jing obviously had no intention of leaving alive from the moment they occupied the space station.

And the doctrine of this evil cult destined that these researchers would never be treated normally by Zuo Jing.

Therefore, Chen Ming could only help control the six remaining Zuojing elements next to the researchers who had not escaped Zuojing and hid in the safe living area on the space station.

He accidentally modified several pistols that were accidentally loaded with bullets.

Then he led them to the safe living area a few minutes later.

There, at least they could get treatment from their colleagues and medical robots.

At this point, the entire bounty was completely over.

However, as soon as the matter was over, Chen Ming did not directly contact the people from Harmony Company who had just met.

Instead, he planned to spend some time to study this plant research station.

Based on the idea that since he had come here, it would not be a waste of his ability if he did not take something away.

Chen Ming relied on his psychic power to control all the equipment on the space station and figured out the situation of this plant research institute.

After all, it took him a lot of mental energy to control this space station that was equivalent to two or three cruisers. It would be a waste if he did not make some profits before he signed an agreement with Harmony Company.

Although the space station had many research equipment destroyed by Zuo Jing, Chen Ming could still see that this was a large plant research and cultivation laboratory.

Most of the research here was about crops that could be used for commercial mass cultivation.

However, what surprised Chen Ming was that the core of the entire research station was a laboratory in the central area of ​​the space station.

At the door of this laboratory, there were several yellow-bottomed black-letter biological hazard icons that made people uncomfortable.

And in this laboratory, Chen Ming unexpectedly found something special.

A... No, it was a group of purple fungal organisms being cultivated.

It was not accurate to say that they were cultivated, because they had escaped from the damaged culture room, killed several Zuo Jing molecules that destroyed the culture room, and began to grow disorderly.

When Chen Ming looked over, these purple fungi appeared almost everywhere in the laboratory.

Especially concentrated in the cultivation observation room inside the laboratory.

All other culture dishes in the laboratory that were specially used to cultivate various organisms were eaten clean.

However, the fungi did not move on the bodies of the Zuo Jing killed by the fungi, and even kept a certain distance from the bodies, and did not grow on them.

I don’t know if it is related to the black and red blood mixed with some dead purple fungi flowing out of the eyes, nostrils, corners of the mouth, and ears of these corpses.

The most special thing about these purple fungi is that.

They are psychic creatures.

Chen Ming can feel extremely obvious psychic fluctuations from them through the gamma core.

Chen Ming didn’t react at first, because he had come into contact with a lot of things related to psychic energy recently, and this time he encountered another one that seemed a bit too coincidental.

But he thought about it carefully and it didn’t seem so unreasonable.

After all, he came here following the traces of Zuo Jing.

In Chen Ming’s impression, the things he encountered several times related to Zuo Jing seemed to be a little special.

The first time was when he went to participate in the auction for fishing Zuo Jing fish in cooperation with the government and Xinda Company. He was just involved that time.

And the next few times seemed to be things that happened when Zuo Jing took the initiative to find him, a psychic.

In a sense, where there is Zuo Jing, there is psychic energy.

So this time Chen Ming took the initiative to track Zuo Jing and encountered psychic creatures, which seemed to be acceptable.

And in the computer of this laboratory, Chen Ming just found the research records and all the research documents of this group of fungal psychic creatures.

The source of these psychic fungal creatures was also recorded in the documents.

A few months ago, the main company of Harmony Company, that is, the mining company, found psychic creatures underground when developing a planetary vein.

The boss of Harmony Company knows the boss, so it is normal to be able to capture this psychic creature.

And a month ago, Harmony Company intercepted a part of the samples of this group of psychic creatures that had been studied for a while and sent them here.

I want to study whether the special light radiation band of the stars in this galaxy will have any special effect on it.

Although the file records that it is a secret transport, Zuo Jing will appear here to rob the space station, which can only be said that secret transport does not seem to be so secret.

It must be that people who believe in Zuo Jing have been mixed into the company again, and there is a high probability that they are on the space station.

Chen Ming couldn't understand why.

If some mining planets, even the mining space stations where he had been, had left-handed elements, he could understand.

After all, this kind of work is extremely hard and difficult.

But in a brainwork workplace like the Vegetation Research Station, the average IQ of the researchers there should be higher than that of ordinary people, right?

Can this be infiltrated?

I don't understand.

Forget it, if I don't understand, I won't do it.

In short, Zuo Jing knew that there were some psychic creatures here that didn't seem to be strictly guarded, so he came to make trouble.

As a result, they didn't know how to take these psychic creatures away, so they could only occupy the space station first and wait for their superiors' orders.

Although it seems so.

But the facts are different from what they seem on the surface.

Chen Ming learned the actual situation from the data read from a terminal in the hand of a person who seemed to be their leader before it was disassembled.

Zuo Jing actually wanted to make a big move.

After all, they could see the big words "biological hazards" posted on the door of the laboratory.

And the orders their leader received from his superiors were even clearer.

This kind of psychic fungus creature has extremely strong transmission and harm. It once caused a lot of damage when Harmony Company captured it. If it is not guarded, it will be very harmful.

Therefore, Zuo Jing will focus on this dangerous creature.

Instead, they hope that someone will directly send a team to land on the space station, so that they will have the opportunity to spread the fungus.

This is Zuo Jing's idea.

And when they destroyed the fungus culture room in the laboratory at the beginning, they had already experienced the horror of fungi.

As long as someone really landed on the space station, they would open the closed laboratory door as soon as possible and use their bodies as carriers to infect the people who landed.

It was simply the ultimate interpretation of madness.

But for Chen Ming, everything was in vain.

All of Zuo Jing's arrangements were resolved by Chen Ming one by one, and it only wasted a few hours of his time.

And those fungi that escaped were also changed by Chen Ming using transformation technology on the physical level to change the appearance of the entire laboratory.

Relying on the metal liquid that filled the entire laboratory, all the psychic fungi covering the laboratory environment were gathered together and stuffed back into the culture room.

And the damaged places and equipment in the culture room were repaired.

In just a few minutes, the environment was restored to its original state.

Chen Ming even used psychic power to confirm whether there were fungal spores in other parts of the space station.

Although these things are invisible to the naked eye, Chen Ming's psychic power is still very effective for these psychic creatures, and they can be easily found.

But what surprised Chen Ming was that the people of Zuo Jing seemed to have some brains.

They did not directly put fungal spores into the air circulation system.

To prevent the others from blowing up the space station directly after all the people died and thinking that the space station was hopeless, so as to make their plan fail.

The researchers in the company must know better than them, the Zuo Jing, the harm of fungi coming out after people died.

They chose the lesser of two evils, and their final fate might be to become cosmic dust together with the space station and these fungi.

So at least for now, Chen Ming's psychic power did not find any place on the space station except the laboratory where these psychic fungal creatures exist.

So at this point, the problem left by Zuo Jing was also solved by Chen Ming.

And Chen Ming's attention was naturally attracted by these psychic fungal creatures.

Although Chen Ming wanted to pack up the entire culture room and take it away, there were many devices in the culture room that restricted these dangerous fungal creatures connected to various parts of the laboratory.

And it seemed a bit too much to dig out the entire laboratory.

However, Chen Ming was still happy to take some samples away.

Anyway, it was an unspoken rule to take something away when doing such a task. As long as it was not too excessive, no one would pursue it.

What's more, Chen Ming was very considerate and collected all the fungi that escaped, and by the way, he also blocked the gap in the culture room. Harmony Company had to thank him.

So Chen Ming took some living samples of fungi with a clear conscience, as well as some samples of dried fungi and dried fungal spores in special containers stored in the laboratory.

And sent the completely sealed storage container containing the samples to his fleet that had successfully cleared the minefield around the space station and approached the space station.

Although Chen Ming didn't know what use this thing that could be regarded as a biological weapon of mass destruction would have for him.

But anyway, take it first, and you will know whether it is useful or not later.

Even if these psychic fungi do not have the ability to be used as weapons, even if it eats and sleeps all day like Xiao Shi, who is also a psychic creature, and runs around the spacecraft, it is not a loss to take it with you.

What's more, Chen Ming has a Chaofan who is responsible for research.

Although Chaofan is not researching this field, Chaofan is so bored that he accompanies him to study cruiser-level technology, so it seems possible to study the creatures next door.

Of course, Chen Ming also hopes to get guidance from Chaofan in biotechnology, who is definitely faster than him in learning speed.

In short, Chaofan did agree.

Although the process was a little bumpy.

At the beginning, even though it was bored to death in the past two days, it didn't want to agree at all.

But when Chen Ming mentioned that this thing was a psychic creature, Chaofan quickly ate back what he had said before.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the space station, Chen Ming first asked the fleet to send away the psychic fungus creature.

Then he reconnected with the people at the company.

Then he asked Lao Wu to help him go to the capital of the star region. With the help of the company and the boss, they each found an official to witness and signed a contract restricting Chen Ming from using psychic energy on the space station in the future.

Of course, the previous things must be forgiven.

Chen Ming took some samples, and the Harmony Company must have seen it, but they could also see the repaired culture room, so they simply pretended that nothing happened, which was good for everyone.

They also chose to pay the reward for protecting the research results in full.

In the end, Chen Ming received a bounty of 1 billion yuan for almost all the left-path elements captured alive.

There was also 300 million yuan for the minor damage to the space station. 500 million yuan for protecting the research results, and the majority of ordinary researchers and several important researchers on the space station were not injured or killed, and he finally got 600 million yuan.

A total of 2.4 billion.

This can be regarded as filling the gap that Chen Ming had to buy a lot of industrial equipment and research equipment some time ago.

The psychic creatures that Chen Ming accidentally obtained on the space station were not delivered to him until today.

It can only be said that the transportation of things like creatures is still quite troublesome for Chen Ming.

But the result of waiting also made Chen Ming completely accept the process of waiting.

After Chaofan started to study biology from scratch like Chen Ming two days ago, he has been able to investigate the data obtained by Chen Ming at the plant research station today.

In about a week, he can give Chen Ming a definite answer and analysis report.
