Chapter 210 The Magical Uses of the Purgatory Core
Bai Quan, after he boarded the shuttle.
Someone came up and held his arm immediately, holding a small steel knife and scraping the hand that Bai Quan had just touched Chen Ming's shoulder, and said at the same time: "The pupil, fingerprint, and voiceprint have all been compared and confirmed to be Chen Ming's real body."
"The skin fragment tissue has been obtained, and the gene comparison will be carried out soon. If the gene result is OK, then there is indeed no problem."
"It's just that the psychic has already used the psychic power, is there any need for inspection?"
Bai Quan shook his head.
Of course he knew that there was no need for inspection.
It was just that feeling he had before, that the feeling that Chen Ming in front of him was not like Chen Ming, that made him make this decision.
Although from the actual contact just now, Chen Ming is indeed Chen Ming, and the result has been confirmed.
But for some reason, he still feels that Chen Ming's behavior is problematic.
Bai Quan shook his head again and temporarily put aside his entanglement with this issue.
Anyway, Chen Ming is here, and he can slowly find an opportunity to deal with anything later.
Early the next morning.
Bai Quan took the shuttle and landed on Chen Ming's dome.
And soon found Chen Ming who was studying the core of Purgatory in the laboratory with the equipment he made yesterday.
As soon as he came up, he said to Chen Ming: "There is bad news. Our volcanic planet is now entering a periodic geological activity period."
"Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes will become more frequent, and the dome may also be damaged. If you encounter an accident, you can hide in the underground of the laboratory."
Chen Ming knew that the underground floor of the laboratory was still a laboratory, and the underground floor was a pure refuge center.
Almost all domes built on similar extreme planets will have such a design to protect the safety of the internal personnel and facilitate subsequent rescue in case of accidents.
And Chen Ming also knew that something was wrong outside the dome today.
When he got up in the daytime and walked from the dormitory building to the laboratory, he could see that the environment outside was worse than yesterday.
Not only the visibility was reduced, but the activity of the magma increased.
Chen Ming could see the red light rising from the sky from time to time, and the dome was hit by the splashing magma from time to time, but fortunately the dome looked fine.
This is the manifestation of the geological activity period.
So when Bai Quan told the specific situation, Chen Ming directly asked back: "Then why are you here?"
Bai Quan still looked calm and said: "It's okay, it's just that the geological activities are a little more frequent, you'll get used to it,"
"Under normal circumstances, the safety of the dome can be guaranteed, don't worry too much, I just remind you that if an accident really happens, you won't be at a loss as to what to do."
Chen Ming nodded, put down the glowing red Purgatory Core and said: "Then we will still teach normally today, right?
"Yes, it's fine here, I brought all the necessary information."
Bai Quan shook the terminal that Chen Ming had given him.
Chen Ming didn't say much, and took Bai Quan to a rare room in the laboratory that was equipped with some basic equipment.
Before the class officially started, Chen Ming said to Bai Quan: "I have something to tell you now. Didn't you send me a list of equipment yesterday?"
"Yes, all the equipment will be sent to you. Do you want to add new equipment? "
Chen Ming denied, "No new equipment is needed for the time being. I just need the equipment on the list to be shipped faster, and then a few equipment must be delivered first, the sooner the better."
"Which ones?"
Chen Ming sent back the list that Bai Quan sent him, and he ticked some items on it.
In addition to the equipment, he also needs some additional materials.
Bai Quan whispered the names of the equipment Chen Ming ticked: "High-precision temperature measuring instrument, temperature and pressure stabilizer, temperature guide tube, large constant temperature repeater, and thermal insulation material."
It can be seen at a glance that this thing is related to the research of the Purgatory Core, so it must not be delayed.
"Okay, I will arrange it for you now."
Bai Quan took out another terminal, and while contacting the person, he asked Chen Ming: "Anything else?"
"Not urgent for the time being, just these are the priority."
"Okay."
Bai Quan quickly put down the terminal and said: "It has been arranged, let's start normally. "
Chen Ming nodded, sat down and looked at Bai Quan.
The morning class ended quickly and normally, and at the end, another shuttle landed on Chen Ming's dome.
The instructor who came down was the instructor Bai Quan arranged for Chen Ming.
He was responsible for Chen Ming's afternoon teaching.
The instructor had a very ordinary face and a very ordinary name.
He was also very conscientious in class, but his level seemed to be a little lower than Bai Quan's.
But Chen Ming wanted to have another instructor of Bai Quan's level as his instructor, which was really a bit too much.
In short, it was not a big problem.
The instructor in the afternoon was to help him supplement some theoretical knowledge.
There was also the knowledge of large-scale battlefields that he needed to strengthen his study in recent times.
Of course, it was just basic knowledge and did not include any actual combat command knowledge.
So it didn't matter to Chen Ming if the teaching level was a little lower.
If he really wanted to learn command, he had to learn from Bai Quan.
Time soon came to night.
Today, Chen Ming did not review and consolidate the daytime content as usual.
Even though the difficulty of the content taught by Baiquan has gradually become abstract recently, the basic knowledge of large-scale wars and front lines in the afternoon is also relatively complicated.
Chen Ming did not choose to review, but directly took the equipment and materials that he had specially asked Bai Quan to speed up during the day to the laboratory.
He wants to continue the research he left unfinished yesterday.
Because he saw some potential from this research that he had not discovered before.
In fact, at the beginning, Chen Ming only regarded the research on the core of Purgatory as an ordinary task.
But yesterday, Chen Ming became familiar with the situation of the dome and completely controlled the dome.
And after completing the experiment of connecting a simple ordinary power system to the core of Purgatory in the laboratory, he discovered a strange place.
It is his spiritual energy itself that allows him to master the method of controlling mechanical equipment. Of course, he can master it according to the function of the equipment itself.
There will be no effect of mastering more than the ability to use the device.
For example, there was an electromagnetic gun in front of him that Chen Ming had never used before. As long as he used his spiritual power to control it, he would be able to master the technology of using the electromagnetic gun.
Not only can he use his psychic energy directly, he can also directly operate the electromagnetic gun himself.
But if Chen Ming wants this electromagnetic gun to walk on the ground, he can only use psychic energy to modify a pair of mechanical legs.
The electromagnetic gun is no longer the original electromagnetic gun, and the various equipment he modified are not the original equipment either.
In other words, Chen Ming's psychic power cannot do things beyond the functions of the mechanical equipment itself, and it can only be achieved through transformation.
Chen Ming's original understanding of the Purgatory Core is the core component of the Purgatory Demon King. It is matched with the Purgatory Demon King and has no other functions.
And he himself does not have the ability to transform the core of Purgatory.
Therefore, Chen Ming had always believed that the Purgatory Core could only be used in conjunction with the Demon King.
Even after getting the purgatory core given by Bai Quan, his research was in this direction.
What he has to do is help analyze the core effects and sort out the functions into a version that others can understand.
The actual modifications and further applications should be left to others.
Since cryogenic computing engines can be used on a large scale in the empire, it means that there is always someone studying the technology of another civilization, and they must be more powerful than him.
He just needs to figure out the principles and then assign the task to the right person.
but now.
After yesterday, Chen Ming relied on some hand-rubbed equipment to conduct a rough test that he would never do in the first place.
He found that the situation in the core of purgatory seemed to be a little different from what he thought.
When he used spiritual energy to directly control the core that was removed from the Demon King.
He found that a new function appeared on the core, or a new module, an independent running module.
And the reason for this new independent module.
After the core is disassembled, its internal structure will deflect and create a new structure.
It is not a module used to support the Purgatory Demon King, but it can directly call the basic functions of the Purgatory core.
So what does it come with?
Chen Ming already had a guess in his mind.
So he increased his energy in researching the core of Purgatory yesterday.
However, yesterday's time was obviously not enough for research, and the laboratory equipment was completely insufficient.
Chen Ming is not outrageous enough to master the licensing methods of all research equipment, so he can only wait for Baiquan to send some important equipment.
That was the device he asked Bai Quan to deliver during the day.
Today, he must figure out the reason for the core situation.
Chen Ming's spiritual power once again took over the Purgatory Core, penetrating every corner of the Purgatory Core.
If the situation is really what he thinks, then the Purgatory Core should bring him some surprises.
the next day.
Bai Quan came to the laboratory like yesterday and saw Chen Ming, who was also studying the core of purgatory.
After saying hello, he asked Chen Ming: "How is the situation?"
Chen Ming's face was a little anxious, but his eyes were still locked on the core of purgatory, and he said without raising his head: "I researched until late at night yesterday, and I did make some interesting discoveries."
"But I still need time and some equipment. There are some equipment that are not on the list, and there are some on the list that I need you to send quickly."
Chen Ming reached out and clicked a few times on the terminal next to him, then sent the list to Bai Quan.
Several research equipment related to the Purgatory Core were checked again on the list, and a few more things were added by Chen Ming himself.
Bai Quan took a look and said: "Two types of thermal insulation coating materials, a device that can cool down extremely quickly, and a high-intensity temperature detector that can operate in extreme environments."
Chen Ming was not surprised that Bai Quan knew what he needed. These were materials and equipment commonly used in the manufacturing process of spacecraft engine nozzle components.
Bai Quan checked for a while and then said: "No problem, I can arrange a batch for you right away. Is there anything else you need?"
Bai Quan's question reminded Chen Ming of his previous thoughts and said, "My place is a bit deserted. Are there any small animals that I can raise?"
"Well...we have a special breeding farm..."
Chen Ming raised his head unexpectedly and asked: "A breeding farm?
"Otherwise, where do you think the meat and vegetables in the cold storage in your dormitory building come from?"
Chen Ming lowered his head again and asked, "Isn't it packaged survival food?"
"Of course there are packaged survival foods, but not for times like this."
"Of course we have to supply fresh food to the army in normal times. This has an impact on the morale of the entire army."
"And the main reason is that the transportation cost of the volcanic planet is high, and the regular transportation of meat and vegetables that are difficult to preserve fresh for a long time is too expensive."
"Although the cost of building a complete recycling system for farmland and livestock farms is also very high, it is a one-time investment and will continue to yield rewards. I will definitely choose this."
Chen Ming had some questions and said: "I remember that the military in the previous sector was quite corrupt. Is this kind of facility still maintained?"
"It is maintained, but only partially, to provide fresh food to the local military's top brass."
"The entire facility was mainly rebuilt after I took over, and it was also partially expanded."
"Ahem... I'm going too far. What pet do you want?"
"The animals I breed there are all improved breeds with high meat yields, short growth cycles, and short lifespans. They are not suitable as pets."
"If you really need it, you can just tell me and I will help you arrange it and bring it from other places."
The anxiety on Chen Ming's face due to the unsatisfactory progress of the experiment eased a little. He suddenly turned to look at Bai Quan and asked, "Anything is okay?"
Bai Quan quickly went through common pets in his mind, even strange pets like spiders and scorpions, and finally said: "Everything should be fine."
"I want the Aurora Wind Spirit, the giant butterfly that can create aurora."
"?"
"Do you want to keep butterflies that live in the atmosphere in a dome?"
Chen Ming said: "I heard that the larvae of Aurora Wind Spirit live on the ground and will emerge as pupae after three or four years of growth."
"After it emerges, it will continue to live at low altitude for about a year. During this time, its size will increase to the point where it can fly into the atmosphere. I should be able to raise it for a few years, right?"
Bai Quan's face was still full of confusion and he asked, "How come you know so much about this thing?"
Of course Chen Ming understands.
Because this Aurora Wind Spirit was one of the creatures he had originally planned to feed to the Insect Queen.
Behind this natural phenomenon that produces beautiful auroras are terrifying creatures that can control plasma.
It is simply the best source of genes for the insect queen.
But precisely because it can control plasma, it is very difficult to capture the Aurora Wind Spirit.
This is not the key yet. The key is that the Aurora Wind Spirit only exists on one planet in the empire's prosperous star field, and the empire has also established an ecological protection zone.
It's impossible to get it through normal means.
But Baiquan's side is obviously not a normal way.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the terminal and called someone.
Finally, he turned to Chen Ming and said, "Aurora Wind Spirit can do it, but we can only get its eggs or newly hatched larvae. Don't think about it as an adult."
Just because the plasma generated by the Aurora Wind Spirit could damage the dome, it was impossible for Baiquan to support Chen Ming.
"The larvae will do, too."
"That's it, I'll make the arrangements, but let's make it clear first that the ecological environment of the dome is not suitable for the Aurora Wind Spirit, and you will most likely feed it to death."
"It's okay, I won't want a second one if I raise it to death."
Chen Ming didn't care whether Aurora Wind Spirit died or not. He just wanted to feed the Queen the worms.
If it wasn't so easy to survive, it would be hard for him to find an excuse for Aurora Wind Spirit to die.
Anyway, the Queen of Insects has metamorphosed to the point where it can express the genes it has devoured directly through its consciousness from a body that has no new genes at all.
As long as the queen can separate some tissue to eat the larvae sent by Baiquan.
The rest is easy to say.
Bai Quan was slightly relieved that Chen Ming didn't ask for too much.
After the two of them arrived in the classroom, Bai Quan suddenly said: "By the way, some people from the think tank asked me to ask you a question. What happened to the conjectures they raised before?"
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment and said: "Are they still paying attention to me? I thought they were just a one-time think tank you hired."
"It's not a one-time thing of course, it's just that I can let them do other things if you don't need it."
"Then I still want them,"
After all, the think tank directly discovered the huge potential of his psychic ability and the machine race to build a hive mind network of the machine race through what he said at the meeting and a few casual introductions to his psychic powers. .
The think tank's logical thinking ability, divergent thinking ability and association ability are really exaggerated. Maybe there will be some performance in the future?
Therefore, Chen Ming does not want to reject the existence of the think tank now.
"They didn't show up two days before I came here. I thought it was because you didn't make arrangements."
Bai Quan explained helplessly: "I am actually making arrangements, but their continuous transfer of personnel will take time."
"Originally, they have just joined the think tank, their identities have just been transferred from other departments, and then they have to transfer to you. This always takes time."
"They'll be here in two days, it won't be long."
"also."
After understanding the situation, Chen Ming said, "Let's wait until they come over at that time."
"Well, let's start class."
The day passed in a blink of an eye.
Night comes again.
Chen Ming still came to the laboratory.
Yesterday he had basically analyzed the special structure of the Purgatory Core.
It is a semi-independent nested structure.
It allows the same components to play different functions in different modules.
Although the two functions cannot be used at the same time, this design does achieve the most functions with the least materials and the smallest space.
Chen Ming could not understand the key design related to the psychic power inside the Purgatory Core.
But the design on the core, this special pure structural design is still understandable and can be mastered.
But Chen Ming's focus is not here now.
What he wants to figure out most now is the effect of the other layer of the Purgatory Core that can be used under his psychic control.
Chen Ming lowered his head and devoted himself to the research of the Purgatory Core.
When Chen Ming raised his head next time.
It was already late at night like yesterday.
Chen Ming's face showed a smile and a trace of regret.
Although the research has not been completely successful, he is very close.
Only the last step is left.
It's a pity that this last step cannot be completed now, so he can only go to rest first.
Another day dawns.
Another day of teaching.
Another day, Bai Quan pushed open the door of the laboratory and saw Chen Ming standing in front of the laboratory equipment.
Bai Quan greeted Chen Ming as usual, and sent a list of personnel to Chen Ming on the terminal.
Chen Ming turned his head slightly, glanced at the terminal and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the list of researchers who came to the Galo Star Region. There are two lists, one for those who came to see and left, and one for those who are willing to stay and be your assistant."
Chen Ming didn't click to read it, and asked directly, "How many people?"
"The total number of people who came is more than 1,200, and the number of people willing to stay is about 500."
Chen Ming's hand suddenly paused and said, "So many?"
But Chen Ming had thought of about 50 assistants before, and it would be difficult for him to manage more.
After all, he has no experience in managing too many people, and these 50 are almost the limit.
"It's just that there are so many people willing, it doesn't mean that you must keep so many, you can just pick the people you think are useful and leave, isn't it over?"
"That's right."
Chen Ming was relieved and put down the Purgatory Core.
He opened the list and selected the personnel as his assistants.
When Chen Ming handed the list of selected personnel back to Bai Quan, Bai Quan said to him: "People should be here tomorrow. After your psychic power has been verified for the effect on the mechanical race and the experiment is completed, those who should leave will leave, and those who should stay will stay."
"And the five think tanks will come to you with others tomorrow."
Chen Ming and Bai Quan did not chat about trivial matters for too long.
A normal day of teaching began.
Time came to night.
Chen Ming had just sent the instructor away when he received something sent by Bai Quan.
Today, he also asked Bai Quan for some equipment during the day. Although it took some effort, it finally came.
Chen Ming took the equipment to the laboratory.
The regret of yesterday was completely gone, because he knew that he would soon achieve his goal.
Chen Ming clenched the exquisite equipment in his hand, a miniature antimatter reactor that Chen Ming had seen before.
This is the equipment that Chen Ming and Bai Quan wanted today.
This reactor will be able to play its role immediately.
The progress of Chen Ming's research yesterday was much smoother than the day before yesterday.
Basically, it has been confirmed that his conjecture is correct.
Chen Ming has now completely mastered the method of using psychic energy to directly activate the Purgatory Core.
Instead of the normal method that he had already mastered using psychic energy, he activated the Purgatory Core by using the matching Purgatory Demon Lord's system and then used the core.
This is equivalent to skipping the Purgatory Demon Lord as a repeater, and directly using the Purgatory Core by Chen Ming himself.
Chen Ming himself controls the Purgatory Core through psychic energy to control the entropy increase and entropy stability of the entire environment.
Now, he is going to carry out the last step of the experiment, the actual test.
So he needs an antimatter reactor to completely activate the Purgatory Core.
Chen Ming took the Purgatory Core and the antimatter reactor, and connected the two with the relay device he just made, which was regarded as plugging a source of energy into the Purgatory Core.
Just when Chen Ming was about to start the test, the terminal beside him suddenly rang.
Bai Quan called in the middle of the night.
