Chapter 197 Shao Yang's Connection

A week passed quickly.

Chen Ming once habitually recorded what happened in the past week on the weekend night.

In the past week, Chen Ming was operating normally without the temporary base, and he was exploring and investigating normally.

He also accidentally found the skeleton of an Alturan sky eel floating in space, which was collected by Huihuang, and the exploration of the galaxies around the skeleton was intensified.

Chen Ming, who was in the space station, reduced the time spent on other studies while continuing to teach Baiquan every day, and used it on research.

In a week, he successfully got out two deeply repaired technologies.

Of course, the antimatter engine only had improved physical samples because Chen Ming himself did not understand antimatter technology.

And the other unstable hyperspace channel jump engine he developed himself was completely different after deep repair.

After a few days of research, Chen Ming has fully understood the operation of the improved hyperspace engine technology.

And through reverse inference, he successfully wrote a paper that looks like a completely positive research.

It can only be said that psychic power is also part of research ability.

Then Chen Ming submitted the paper to a top academic journal related to spacecraft technology that he knew.

He also borrowed Bai Quan's connections.

He asked those who were responsible for review to speed up the review.

Chen Ming didn't know where Bai Quan got this connection, but since he could do it, Chen Ming had no reason to refuse to do so.

It takes a lot of time to review professional papers, so why not find connections?

There should be no surprises in this paper.

After all, Chen Ming first developed a stable hyperspace channel engine and then wrote the paper. He knew very well what kind of effect the hyperspace channel engine had.

Chen Ming estimated that there would be a response in the next two days. By then, it would be easy to make money with the patent in hand.

But the antimatter engine was a little hot.

Because it was completely different from the hyperspace channel engine, Chen Ming could not give a forward research process that at least seemed reasonable.

This meant that Chen Ming's psychic power could perform deep repairs on anything without being limited by his own knowledge level.

The value of such psychic power was terrifying for anyone.

And this was even more true for an empire that had mastered countless cutting-edge technologies.

If Chen Ming showed the optimized antimatter engine, he might not be able to leave directly when he came back this time.

Because his psychic power had already shown performance far beyond its combat value in research.

Let's change our thinking a little bit and think about it. If Chen Ming was an official of the empire, or a top researcher of the official.

Then if they knew that there was a psychic with such psychic power running around outside, they would definitely be worried and would definitely want to keep the person in the empire, preferably in an extremely safe place.

Then they would provide him with good food and drink, waiting for this psychic to use psychic power to improve technology.

This kind of life seems very good, but Chen Ming does not want to live like this.

So he hid the improved antimatter technology and gave it to Chaofan to study.

To be precise, Chaofan was thrown to the Stardust level.

Then within two days, Chaofan sent Chen Ming a list of research equipment for studying the improved antimatter engine.

Because the equipment that Chen Ming bought before did not include equipment for studying antimatter technology,

and if he wanted to buy new equipment, the price of this batch of research equipment would be around 12 billion.

It is quite difficult to buy, and there is no place to install it after buying it.

The remaining space on the highest point had long been filled with the research equipment that Chen Ming bought in the last batch.

But Chen Ming finally agreed.

And he renovated the idle space such as the crew lounge on the Stardust class, which usually does not appear at the forefront of the battlefield, but at the end of the battlefield to place the self-destructing small plane, and left space.

It will be used to renovate the research room for Chaofan.

After all, Chen Ming himself has the patent for antimatter technology. It is not difficult to obtain antimatter technology itself, and it is not difficult to give it to Chaofan to learn.

However, if you want Chaofan to master the improved antimatter engine with his own hands, you can only think about it.

But the antimatter engine is a very obvious improvement for the spacecraft. The greatly increased radiation energy capacity and radiation energy dissipation are of great significance even to Chen Ming.

Not to mention the improved one.

So Chen Ming must try to master the improved antimatter technology, which is good for his own fleet and the construction of future colonies.

As long as Chen Ming can write a complete research process similar to the improved stable hyperspace channel engine he developed himself.

He can throw out the improved antimatter engine technology, and if he doesn't use it, he will face the restrictions that may come from the top of the empire.

At the same time, he can make more money by using such improvements.

So the 12 billion cannot be saved.

Old Wu certainly can't get antimatter-related equipment, so Chen Ming went directly to the boss.

The boss did agree, but it's hard to say when he can get this batch of equipment.

In short, in the past week, in addition to waiting for equipment and writing papers, Chen Ming is also doing some other things.

His research on Zerg buildings is still ongoing.

Although it is a bit difficult, the progress is not ideal.

The first step of larval cultivation alone took Chen Ming several days to complete.

Because under normal circumstances, every step of larval cultivation is carried out by the queen herself, and every larva is pinched by the queen herself.

If you want to complete automated breeding through biological buildings, then every step that the queen does by hand must be finely differentiated.

The various organs and tissues inside the biological building must be able to reproduce the steps of the queen pinching the larvae one by one, and they must also be able to reproduce in batches.

It's like a fertilized egg from splitting to differentiation to the final formation of a baby. Every step is no longer automatic, but requires people to pinch it by hand. The difficulty can be imagined.

Fortunately, Chen Ming's psychic power is not a decoration.

In the past week, except for the first two days when Chen Ming used psychic power on antimatter technology and unstable hyperspace channel engines, the psychic power of the next five days was used on the Zerg.

Finally, the Zerg biological building named [Larva Hatching Pool] was successfully created by Chen Ming.

As for the subsequent various Zerg-exclusive differentiation and cultivation biological buildings, it can only be said that the goal is still far away.

The cultivation of special individuals on the other side is still in progress.

But the progress is basically zero.

Chen Ming has not yet thought of any means or genes to cultivate Zerg that can fight against ten thousand like the Infernal Lord, and it is even difficult to fight against a hundred.

But you have to eat step by step, and you have to walk step by step.

So Chen Ming's idea is to use modern science and technology and the Queen's biological technology to create an individual with combat power at least higher than that of the same Zerg, and then cultivate it step by step.

But this is not a simple matter. After all, the Zerg individual is not the biological armor he wears, but a real living thing.

How to cultivate such a living thing is a problem that has been bothering Chen Ming for the past two days and has not been solved.

And since there are special units on the ground, there can also be special units in space.

But Chen Ming thought about it carefully and found that the special unit in space is the battleship.

After all, the special units on the ground can fight one against ten thousand when the opponent has no special units.

In space, the only ones that can fight one against ten thousand when the opponent has no units of equal strength are the battleships, and the cruisers may fail.

So Chen Ming simply gave up the idea of ​​special individuals in space for the time being and concentrated on the research of special units on the ground.

Although this concentration is not very focused, at least Chen Ming has tried it, but there is no progress, and there are other things to do.

And although the idea of ​​special individuals in space was temporarily abandoned by Chen Ming.

But Chen Ming also thought of the Queen of Zerg.

The mother of his current Queen of Zerg evolved from the original frigate to a destroyer.

So it is reasonable to evolve from a destroyer to a cruiser.

And going further, it is not impossible to evolve from a cruiser to a battleship.

So Chen Ming has the plan to evolve the current destroyer-level biological spacecraft of the Queen of Zerg into a cruiser-level.

Direct evolution is a bit difficult, so Chen Ming plans to use the old method of the Zerg.

It just so happens that the Queen of Zerg still has the memory left by its mother.

So when Chen Ming drove the defenders left at the temporary base to the current location of the Zerg Queen and asked it to try to replace the components of the cruiser, he found that this idea was completely feasible.

It just takes time.

Before, the Zerg Queen spent a lot of time replacing the parts of a frigate, and it took a long time to evolve from a frigate to a destroyer.

So Chen Ming just let the Zerg Queen try it experimentally, and it hasn't actually started yet.

At least we have to wait until the Zerg Queen studies the Zerg architecture that allows the Zerg to continue to develop without it.

Instead of just having a larvae hatching pool, we can talk about it.

Although the progress of most of the things Chen Ming wanted to do with the Queen Zerg was not ideal, there was still some good news.

There was no problem in advancing the idea of ​​using the Zerg hive network that Chen Ming had suddenly thought of before. Maybe there would be actual results in a few days.

At that time, Chen Ming was going to give Lao Wu and the factory director a surprise, or maybe a shock.

But it didn't matter. What mattered was that this technology could bring many benefits to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming suddenly shook his hands, ended the record of important events this week, and prepared to rest as usual.

But at this time, Chen Ming suddenly received a message from his boss.

It was a string of communication codes and a sentence.

"This is Shao Yang's contact information."

Just when Chen Ming was full of question marks, a call came to Chen Ming's terminal, and it showed Shao Yang's communication code.

Chen Ming answered the phone, and a young male voice with a scholarly air came from the other end of the phone: "Chen Ming?"

"It's me."

"Well, I'm Shao Yang. Mr. Wu An told you about me, right?"

Shao Yang's direct words made Chen Ming stunned for a moment before he responded: "Yes, I know you."

"Okay, let me tell you about the research equipment you want."

Now Chen Ming knew the situation. The boss directly gave the things Chen Ming wanted to Shao Yang to deal with. No wonder he sent the communication code over.

Before Chen Ming spoke, Shao Yang said: "Many of the things you want are currently out of stock. If you pay attention to the recent news, you should know that equipment related to antimatter technology is in great demand now."

"But I have basically found a way to help you get it. Only one antimatter particle capture device is really out of stock. It is not available for the time being. You have to wait for a while."

It was a pleasant surprise for Chen Ming to find all the equipment so quickly, so he immediately thanked him and said: "It doesn't matter, I can wait, thank you for your trouble."

"Yes."

Shao Yang calmly accepted Chen Ming's thanks, and then said: "Then this time I contacted you, in addition to telling you about the equipment, I also have another thing to find you."

"What is it, tell me."

"There is a small problem with the data of the Supreme Point I received from you, just last week."

Chen Ming's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized a problem.

He had obviously repaired the Supreme Point spacecraft in depth, and the spacecraft itself was obviously different from before.

So as a designer who completed the design of the Supreme Point alone, can he find some changes on the spacecraft through the changes in the data transmitted back?

Chen Ming felt that the answer should not need to be thought about.

"So..."

Shao Yang said simply: "So I want to cooperate with you."

"Your psychic power should not only control the spacecraft and control things related to the spacecraft, but also have the ability to optimize the spacecraft design, and it is an optimization without any restrictions."

"I know you, your current level of knowledge is definitely not enough to optimize the Supreme Point. It has only been three months since the Supreme Point was developed, and no one can optimize it."

Shao Yang's tone was very confident and full of arrogance.

"So when I got the data you returned, I thought about it and finally determined that the reason for the data change was you."

"Am I right?"

Chen Ming asked back: "Then have you ever thought that I might have made up false data to deceive you?"

"The people Mr. Wu An is optimistic about will not do this."

Well, it seems that there is no point in talking nonsense and lying, so Chen Ming asked: "How do you want to cooperate?"

"I hope you can send the Supreme Point to me so that I can study its structure and draw a new blueprint."

Hearing this request, Chen Ming immediately declined and said, "You know what I'm doing now? The Supreme Point is still very important to me."

At this time, Shao Yang, who was in a research institute at the headquarters of the 14th Corps, took a look at the various data of the improved Supreme Point displayed on the computer next to him, and a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes.

He must find out how Chen Ming's psychic power optimized the Supreme Point that he had optimized after his years of hard work in Tachyon Technology and his psychic awakening.

It just so happened that recently, Chen Ming's Supreme Point brought back a lot of actual use data.

The various test results of the research institute also showed that the Supreme Point-class exploration cruiser as a new exploration ship does have its value.

With the joint support of the Psychic Society and the 14th Corps, it has been sold.

He has also made a fortune during this period.

So Shao Yang said to Chen Ming: "I can give you another Supreme."

"And after I complete the test of your Supreme, I will return your improved Supreme to you."

Such conditions could not help but make Chen Ming tempted, but there was a question that Chen Ming had to confirm: "How long will it take?"

"About a month."

It was equivalent to Chen Ming renting out the Supreme for a month, and the rent was a new Supreme.

"I have a question..."

Chen Ming had just opened his mouth when Shao Yang said directly: "The Supreme I gave you before was a prototype, which is different from the Supreme currently in production, so it is not possible for my Supreme to go there and be optimized by you and then come back."

"Okay, then I can, but I have to wait until your Supreme arrives at my ship before I can go to your side."

"As long as your ship can arrive on time, I have no problem."

"Okay."

Anyway, Chen Ming's ship can jump continuously, and it only takes a few tens of minutes for Shao Yang's cruiser to fly back from outside the empire, so it is impossible to be late.

After talking about this, Shao Yang continued: "Actually, I have another idea for cooperation."

"You say."

"It's very simple. I will study the results, you optimize the results, and then we will publish them together, and all the profits will be divided equally."

"Or another way, I will provide you with technology, you will be responsible for optimization, and I will pay you directly according to the results of your optimization."

Chen Ming ignored Shao Yang's first proposal.

He has his own pursuits and will not cooperate with others in this way.

But the second idea is a bit more interesting.

Chen Ming asked: "Let me ask you a question. Is the technology you provide your own?"

"Of course not."

Shao Yang said as a matter of course: "I just want to see what kind of changes will happen to a technology after it is optimized by your psychic energy."

"Especially since you started to acquire equipment for researching antimatter technology, this means that you have used your psychic energy on antimatter technology."

"If you can even optimize antimatter technology, it means that other technologies are definitely not a problem for you."

"I want to understand your ideas for optimizing psychic energy and try to learn the logic behind it."

Is there such a thing?

Chen Ming was a little surprised by Shao Yang's idea.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is really nothing wrong.

It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. Mastering the ideas of optimization may indeed be of great help to your own research.

As a psychic power owner, Chen Ming himself ignored this point, which was a bit wrong.

But it is not too late now, and Chen Ming also has more opportunities than anyone else.

Seeing that Chen Ming did not reply for a while, Shao Yang said again: "You are not a researcher, so you may not feel it."

"But you must know that your psychic power has improved to the point that all researchers in the entire empire dream of, and the products of your psychic power are the same."

"As a researcher, I am no exception."

Chen Ming thought about it and corrected: "In fact, it is not for the empire researchers, but for all those in the empire who want the empire's technology to develop, including various officials."

He actually knew what Shao Yang said, so he did not release the improved antimatter engine technology directly.

Because this may mean that he can never leave the empire again.

This time, Shao Yang didn't seem to think of this. After a while, he reacted and said, "Indeed, it's not a good thing for you if your psychic power is exposed."

"But we are all members of the Psychic Society, and we have a good relationship with Mr. Wu An. I won't reveal your psychic power."

"But I still hope you can consider it. Contact me if you have any ideas."

Shao Yang didn't say much. He hung up the phone before Chen Ming explained that he hadn't joined the Psychic Society.

It's very straightforward.

It's just this straightforward personality...

No wonder the boss said that he was excluded in Tachyon Technology.

If it was before, Shao Yang could only continue to be excluded, but he is a psychic, so he has the capital to continue to maintain this personality.

Chen Ming doesn't care anyway. Shao Yang doesn't have a bad attitude towards him. He's just a little straightforward and speaks a little bluntly. It's not that he can't communicate normally.

And if you think about it carefully, there's nothing wrong with what Shao Yang did just now.

First, he explained that he was helping him collect research equipment, and then based on this help, he proposed a request for cooperation, which was totally fine.

It was just that the way he spoke was a bit straightforward, so he might run into a wall if he met someone with a bad personality and a bad temper, but it would be absolutely fine if he met someone with a good temper.

Chen Ming was considering whether to give Shao Yang's idea of ​​cooperation a try.

After all, Shao Yang was now considered to be rich, and he should not need to spend a lot of money on development like he did.

It was always good to get some wool from him.

Chen Ming thought that he could wait until the things that he urgently needed to use deep repair psychic energy were almost dealt with, and then contact Shao Yang to conduct some deep repair cooperation regularly.

It could be considered as making some extra money.

Just when Chen Ming made a decision, Chaofan suddenly sent a message from the Stardust class parked in the next ship.

"In fact, I have always been curious about how your psychic energy will optimize our Yuhui."

"Uh..."

Although Chaofan is now studying the optimized antimatter engine on Stardust, he still needs some research equipment on the highest point to assist him.

Chen Ming also gave Chaofan the control of the Supreme Point.

So Chaofan heard the conversation between him and Shao Yang just now, and his curiosity was naturally magnified.

To be honest, Chen Ming was also very curious, but it was just because he had been optimizing the technology and helping the Queen to optimize the things it made in the past few days.

If the Zerg is optimized, it can directly provide Chen Ming with substantial and tangible benefits.

So Chen Ming did not optimize Yuhui for the time being.

However, even if Chaofan did not say it, Chen Ming should have optimized Yuhui.

Although the effect of the optimization is uncertain, it is not negative at all.

The stronger the afterglow at the temporary base, the better.

So Chen Ming said: "There will be a chance, let me try it on other afterglow individuals first."

"After the test, if it can be guaranteed to be safe, I will use this psychic power on you Alpha-level afterglows."
