Chapter 205 Wealth

The morning passed quickly.

Bai Quan summarized the problems in the previous simulated battle and ended the communication with Chen Ming.

Then he saw the message that Cheng Xinghai replied to him during the morning class on the terminal.

The content was quite long, basically complaining about the abnormal degree of Chen Ming's psychic power.

Bai Quan summarized it briefly and it can be summed up in one sentence.

"If you lose, you lose. You can only mock back if you really win."

This was a response to Bai Quan's words of comfort to her yesterday. It seems that Cheng Xinghai has completely come out of autism, much faster than before.

At the end of this message, Cheng Xinghai also wrote a sentence on it: "Don't tell Cheng Xinghe about this."

Bai Quan raised the corner of his mouth and put away the terminal.

In the past, he might have really told Cheng Xinghe the news, after all, he was very happy to see Cheng Xinghe and Cheng Xinghai compete with each other.

But now that Chen Ming is here, and he happens to have other ideas, let Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai compete.

Cheng Xinghai will definitely go to Chen Ming later. He just needs to add fuel to the fire from time to time.

Although Bai Quan himself does not understand this aspect, he is married, so he has external help. In this matter, it is always right to do what his wife says.

When thinking of this, Bai Quan subconsciously thought of the wave of deformed children in the empire, and couldn't help frowning.

This matter has to be considered at his current age.

But now he has no suitable solution.

When Bai Quan was having a headache because of the child.

Chen Ming also sorted out the mistakes he made in the simulation for the last time to ensure that he would not make them again in the future.

Then he went over his understanding of the mechanical race itself and the relevant knowledge he mastered in his mind.

Everything is clear in mind, just wait for Bai Quan to ask someone to come and explain it to everyone tomorrow.

He must also grasp the degree at that time, and some things cannot be exposed.

After sorting out what to do next, Chen Ming also plans to take this opportunity to summarize his own strength.

Since it has been decided to join this war, the necessary preparations should be made.

Although Chen Ming said that he would not take the initiative to help the 14th Legion fight, and he could not even make a wave in large-scale combat, he would always have a chance to go there to fight.

Accurately measuring his own abilities and choosing the right time to insert is what he should do.

But before Chen Ming started to do this, he suddenly received a call.

A clear and lively female voice sounded in the terminal: "Hello, hello Chen Ming."

"Cheng Xinghai? What's the matter?"

"Are you free now? Can you play again?"

Chen Ming thought about it for a while.

There was no rush to calculate his own strength. After all, his stuff was there and would not run away, and the empire's war against the mechanical race was still in a very early stage.

So he agreed: "Okay."

Ten minutes later.

Chen Ming's consciousness sank into the simulation equipment of the 14th Legion branch again.

However, unlike last time, when Chen Ming's consciousness appeared in the flagship command room, he suddenly heard Cheng Xinghai's voice: "Hello, can you hear me?"

Chen Ming tried to speak directly in the command room with his consciousness that had sunk into the simulation device, "Can the simulation device still communicate?"

And Cheng Xinghai's voice sounded again: "Yes, under normal circumstances, the communication between the two sides of the battle is not turned on, but it doesn't matter if it is turned on for private battles."

"You can use it to spit trash talk at each other, or use it for communication testing."

Chen Ming always felt that the order of the two uses mentioned by Cheng Xinghai was reversed, but this was not a problem. The problem was: "What are you turning it on for?"

"Haha, that depends on the situation."

Cheng Xinghai chuckled, and soon entered the serious attitude of the last time and asked Chen Ming: "Are you ready?"

Chen Ming did not reply for the time being, but first looked at the rules of this simulation.

Generally speaking, it is the same as the rules of the previous game after Baiquan's restriction.

But the difference is that in addition to the fifty destroyers and two hundred and fifty frigates, the two sides of the battle this time also have an additional cruiser.

Maybe Cheng Xinghai felt that a small-scale battle without a cruiser could not fully exert her command ability last time, so she made some modifications.

Chen Ming looked at the special model of the 14th Legion, and then looked at the unlimited logistics and completely unrestricted maintenance capabilities.

"Ready."

"Then let's start. I won't lose again this time."

"Yeah."

Chen Ming responded.

Driving the Ruler, he instantly jumped to the face of Cheng Xinghai's fleet. The terrifying frontal firepower under the blessing of psychic energy instantly cleared a large number of low-level spacecraft that had just entered the combat state from the rear of Cheng Xinghai's fleet.

Cheng Xinghai didn't know Chen Ming well enough, and she didn't expect Chen Ming to play like this.

However, she reacted quickly and commanded the same model of the 14th Legion-modified Ruler in the center of the fleet to turn around at the first time and bear most of the damage.

The other ships went around to the flanks, trying to put some side and tail pressure on the Ruler with strong frontal firepower.

But Chen Ming did not care about the damage caused by those small boats to the ruler. He even endured the damage and focused on attacking those small boats that dared to approach.

His goal was clear. As long as Cheng Xinghai's boat was shot empty, she would have no chance of capsizing.

Chen Ming relied on simulated psychic power to make the Ruler almost take the damage of this fleet.

It must be said that the Ruler transformed by the 14th Corps was also very tough, which was in line with Chen Ming's stereotype of military spaceships.

However, after destroying nearly half of Cheng Xinghai's boat, the Ruler's armor was about to collapse.

It was about to threaten the structure of the spaceship itself.

Before the Ruler could no longer bear it, Chen Ming started the jump engine and disappeared in front of Cheng Xinghai's fleet.

Cheng Xinghai was just a little shocked that Chen Ming's psychic power could achieve fast and multiple jumps, and that a cruiser could kill half of the fleet of 300 ships with cruisers.

But at this time, she was full of confidence in winning Chen Ming.

Because when she just fought, she had sent some spaceships to other places to lock the position of Chen Ming's main fleet.

In a small-scale battlefield, the overall distance between the two fleets was not far.

Based on the situation she observed when Chen Ming was repairing the spacecraft, she deduced the speed at which Chen Ming repaired the cruiser.

As long as she rushed over now, she would definitely be able to eliminate all of Chen Ming's other spacecraft before Chen Ming's ruler finished repairing it.

Without Chen Ming's ruler staying on the main fleet side, Chen Ming's main fleet would only be completely crushed by her ruler.

As long as she could take advantage of this opportunity to kill the large force, even if she only had half of her fleet left, she would definitely be able to defeat Chen Ming with advance preparation.

However.

When Cheng Xinghai's fleet just arrived in front of Chen Ming's main fleet that had been parked in place and had not moved.

Chen Ming drove the fully repaired, full-blooded and full-status ruler back.

At this moment, he seemed to hear Cheng Xinghai whisper a swear word.

Chen Ming was right, Cheng Xinghai really couldn't hold it back.

Although she had heard some of the effects of Chen Ming's psychic power from Bai Quan.

But when she actually saw Chen Ming using the psychic power effects that Bai Quan had not told her, she still looked perverted.

And now she understood the way Chen Ming repaired his psychic power.

It was not the fixed repair speed she had thought of before, but a repair speed based on a percentage, whether it was a large ship or a small ship.

It was purely because of the size of the spacecraft that limited the scope of Chen Ming's psychic power, which made her think that Chen Ming's psychic power repair speed was not fast, which eventually led to this situation.

It was too late to change the strategy now, she could only try to fight back on the battlefield and try to struggle.

Chen Ming would naturally not hold back. The ruler in full state had the assistance of a complete fleet, and it was impossible to lose in the front battlefield against an enemy that had been damaged by more than half.

This was no longer a problem of operation, but a pure crushing of psychic power values.

For a while, only Cheng Xinghai's fleet could be seen disappearing on the battlefield.

As the battle went on, Chen Ming seemed to hear a faint cry in the communication channel, which made him a little embarrassed.

He made a mistake and threw a few ships out to give them away, so that Cheng Xinghai would not be unable to kill any ships.

At the same time, he quickly asked the ruler to increase his strength and completely end the battle.

Although Chen Ming did this, if he came like this again next time, he would still fight like this.

But Cheng Xinghai...

"Uncle Bai——"

Bai Quan received another call from Cheng Xinghai not long after.

He had just contacted the relevant personnel and was going to talk to Chen Ming tomorrow. He just had some time to talk to Cheng Xinghai.

Then he learned about the second battle between her and Chen Ming.

It can only be said that when the cruiser came out, Bai Quan knew that Cheng Xinghai would definitely lose.

Under the same fleet size, the higher the level and the larger the scale of the fleet, as long as the overall does not exceed the upper limit of Chen Ming's spiritual power, the easier it is for Chen Ming to win.

So Bai Quan could only say: "I forgot to remind you, don't fight Chen Ming in a cruiser, especially in a small-scale battle without logistics."

Cheng Xinghai's tone was full of grievances, and he said: "But he has only been learning for more than a month, and he has never learned long-term operations. If I really do this, it will become me bullying him."

Bai Quan shook his head and said: "Then you can only fight him in a small-scale battle. This is the teaching progress here. He has learned very quickly. Large-scale operations are to be learned in the next few semesters."

"Or you can contact other people yourself and find a few more who can be responsible for logistics. You can divide the simulation into two teams and let Chen Ming be responsible for fighting, right?"

Cheng Xinghai thought carefully about Bai Quan's proposal and felt that it seemed feasible.

The crying voice that was originally pretended disappeared instantly, and he said to Bai Quan in a well-behaved voice: "Thank you, Uncle Bai."

Bai Quan put down the terminal, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

In fact, at first glance, such a long-term battle with logistics restrictions can indeed help Cheng Xinghai gain some advantages on the battlefield.

After all, Chen Ming's psychic power still depends on logistics. When logistics are restricted, Chen Ming's psychic power will naturally not be able to fully exert its due effect.

But Bai Quan knows how outrageous Chen Ming's psychic power is.

So he is ready to have fun.

The captain of a simulation of this scale must ask Chen Ming to be the referee when it comes to him, and he will definitely let Chen Ming's psychic power be fully activated.

He also knows the horror of Chen Ming's psychic power in logistics.

All materials can be transmitted instantly, and all industrial equipment can be kept overloaded like the spacecraft controlled by Chen Ming.

And the time to establish a complete spacecraft production industrial system is only limited by Chen Ming's mental power, and of course Chen Ming's own technology.

But Bai Quan still believes in Chen Ming's technical level in this basic industry.

So by then...

He can already see the appearance of Cheng Xinghai's side being pushed flat by Chen Ming's fleet.

I just don't know if Chen Ming has time to participate in this long-term battle that requires deep consciousness connection.

Of course, if Chen Ming is willing to participate, and after winning this game with a high probability.

Bai Quan will also find an excuse to exercise his command ability to limit the use of Chen Ming's psychic power in the simulation.

As long as Chen Ming's psychic power can be restricted a little, Cheng Xinghai should be able to seize the opportunity to win.

It's best for the two to have wins and losses and play more games.

This is the situation he wants to see most now.

On Chen Ming's side.

Although he was taken by Cheng Xinghai to simulate a fight for an hour, it was not a big problem, anyway, it ended quickly.

It's just that this scale of battle is not good for the training of command ability. It seems that even if Baiquan is not there, he will have to take the initiative to impose some restrictions on himself.

Of course, this is a matter for the future.

Now Chen Ming continued to count his own situation.

First of all, it is naturally the most easily counted liquid funds on hand, totaling 18.7 billion, which is used for the maintenance of temporary bases and the purchase of materials.

The second is the spacecraft controlled by Chen Ming.

Escorts and expellants can basically be ignored now. After all, after the temporary base was established, those spacecraft that were not originally his Yuhui have been completely under his name.

However, it is still necessary to count the cruisers.

Chen Ming currently has five human cruisers, including a Stardust class, a Supreme Point class, two Defender class and a Colossus class.

Although Chen Ming intended to feed one of the defenders to the Queen of Worms, the Queen of Worms has not eaten it yet, so it is still counted among his cruisers for the time being.

The Supreme Point that Shao Yang promised before is still on the way. So there is no need to count it for the time being.

In addition to human cruisers, Chen Ming also has four Yuhui cruisers.

Brilliant, Radiant, Refraction and Flashing.

Brilliant, Radiant and Flashing were all obtained by buying Yuhui with free spaceships.

The Refraction was the cruiser that Chen Ming indirectly controlled through Chaofan when he cooperated with Baiquan to invade the Yuhui giant dock.

As the largest and highest quality spaceship Chen Ming currently has, it is driven by HR to be responsible for the security of the temporary base.

There are a total of four spaceships of the mechanical race.

The model names of three of the mechanical race cruisers are very common [Standard Mechanical Race Cruiser], which is obviously a standard spaceship.

It has a narrow and long hull and large weapons distributed in the front, middle and back.

The three spaceships have a total of nine large weapons, all of which are large live-fire electromagnetic weapons. It can be seen that the mechanical race likes this type of weapon very much.

Except that it has nano-level robots responsible for the maintenance of the interior of the spacecraft like the ground units of the mechanical race, there is nothing special about it.

Its combat power is also mediocre and has no special value.

So much so that Chen Ming has considered whether to feed the mechanical race's spacecraft to the Queen of Worms instead of the defenders.

But Chen Ming considered that the Queen of Worms' own biological spacecraft itself has many cavities for various insects to move around, rather than a pure solid single creature with the appearance of a biological spacecraft.

So it is better to feed the Queen of Worms with a human cruiser with a similar structure.

Then another spacecraft of the mechanical race, which is the [Standard-class Colonial Ship of the Mechanical Race] that Chen Ming took away from the city of the mechanical race as the core of the city.

It was controlled by Chen Ming and repaired to its original appearance using psychic energy and then thrown to Huihuang.

Huihuang will find a way to get enough colonization technology from it for the future when Chen Ming really colonizes.

Speaking of technology.

The technology at hand by Chen Ming can also be regarded as part of the comprehensive strength.

After all, the patents of antimatter technology and hyperspace jump engine technology can provide a lot of funds and logistical support, which can certainly be counted as part of strength.

In fact, Chen Ming has another high-value technology on hand, which is the blueprint of the new star-level unmanned battle cruiser that he got at the beginning.

Chen Ming was so excited that he took this thing by force despite his brain and body that had been using psychic energy for two consecutive days and was close to collapse.

However, it has no place to play its role today.

It can only be said that Chaofan can actually build a capital ship as long as it is provided with a sufficient environment.

But Chen Ming can't get a giant dock, so this technology can only be put aside for the time being, and it will be taken out when it can really be manufactured.

In addition to funds, spacecraft, and technology, real estate should also be counted as a part of comprehensive strength.

Speaking of this, Chen Ming thought of the No. 6 space arm of the Pirate Space Station, which is the space arm used for power generation at the Pirate Space Station.

Although Chen Ming originally arranged Yuhui to control the station purely to restore the damaged power system of the space station.

But the accident was over, and the company knew what Chen Ming had done but didn't mention it.

Chen Ming didn't know what to do. Anyway, just keep it like this, maybe it will come in handy one day.

In addition to the space station, the most important real estate that Chen Ming currently controls is definitely the temporary base.

Although the temporary base only has a castrated version of a starport with simple maintenance and transportation functions and a giant warehouse.

But the Yuhui in the temporary base is the most important place in this base.

So far, the number of Yuhui Chen Ming has on hand is still more than 50,000. Even if Yuhui is constantly lost during the two-month exploration process, the loss is still relatively light in the face of the overall scale.

Among the more than 50,000 Yuhui, there are nearly 48,000 gamma-level Yuhui, more than 3,000 beta-level Yuhui, and five alpha-level Yuhui.

It is Chen Ming's real assets some time ago.

But now it's different.

Now, with Chen Ming's efforts in pioneering the road, he has two more assets on hand.

One is the mechanical race, and the other is the Zerg race.

And these two assets are constantly expanding with Chen Ming's efforts.

At the beginning, the mechanical race only had more than 40,000 individuals in that isolated city. After adding the 30,000 individuals that Chen Ming later robbed from the mechanical colony, the number has increased to nearly 80,000.

These tens of thousands of mechanical races were settled in the city by Chen Ming, which brought new life to this city that had been abandoned for many years.

And this city itself is a city that only needs to exist for that civilization.

So after Chen Ming used psychic energy to repair the entire city during this period, he found that everything the mechanical race in the city needed was self-sufficient.

Even nanorobots are the same.

Chen Ming found a factory in the city.

A factory that only needs to input some materials to automatically output nanorobots that can be used by the mechanical race.

It's a pity that there is only one factory in the entire city, which is smaller than the industrial equipment in other cities that are already small in scale.

Therefore, nanorobots are still the main limitation of the development of the mechanical race.

But as long as he changed his mind, Chen Ming found that he had made a lot of money.

Because this is a factory for the production of nanorobots, another legacy of another civilization.

Originally, Chen Ming thought that there were only those mechanical races in this mechanical race city.

It was not until he found this factory later that he realized that he was too young.

Anything left by another civilization is extremely precious, at least for Chen Ming now.

Although he can't understand the operating principle and manufacturing method at all, it is enough for Chen Ming to use this factory.

As long as the factory is still in his hands, he will always have the opportunity to fully master the technology in the future.

And when the new 30,000 mechanical races were gradually controlled by Chen Ming, Chen Ming found that the number of mechanical races in his honeycomb thinking network had reached the standard, and he could directly generate the consciousness of new mechanical race individuals in the network.

This means that the number of Chen Ming's mechanical races can begin to increase, and he can start to build new mechanical races.

Combined with the nanorobots produced by the nanorobot factory.

Although the speed is not fast, the increase in the number of mechanical individuals can always subtly provide Chen Ming with more mental power and thinking speed.

And Chen Ming's other family, the Zerg, is obviously more heavyweight.

Although the types of Zerg are the same as before, they have hardly changed when there is no battle.

And the biological buildings of the Zerg have only been completed in the past few days, the larvae hatching pool, and the progress of other things is very unsatisfactory.

However, the speed of the Zerg population expansion is more than that of Yuhui and the mechanical race combined.

From the size of a city at the beginning, the area covered by the Zerg nest is now close to half of the colony that occupied one-fifth of the surface of the planet when Chen Ming first went to Yuhui Star Region.

If it weren't for the fact that the area of ​​the planet where the Queen of Zerg is now larger, and Chen Ming deliberately restricted the reproduction of the Queen of Zerg on the surface later, allowing it to expand underground to avoid destroying the ecological environment on the surface.

Otherwise, Chen Ming even felt that he could see the Zerg nest on the ground directly from outside the planet.

This has led to Chen Ming's current difficulty in estimating the size of the Zerg population.

But at least one thing is certain, that is, the current strength of the Zerg ground units is enough for Chen Ming to do many things.

The ability of the Queen to devour everything, transform everything, and breed everything is too exaggerated.

It won't be long before the entire planet will be completely occupied by the Queen, and the Queen will also have the ability to destroy the planet.

Of course, Chen Ming is not afraid of this, his psychic power will make all this a help to him.
