Chapter 217 Reconciliation

Before putting on his helmet, Bai Quan took the terminal and made a call.

After being connected, he said directly: "I have given you permission to watch the battle. Please pay attention and estimate the level of Chen Ming's mental power."

The voice of a white spring psychic friend came from the other end of the phone: "Is this simulation really reliable?"

"Of course it's not reliable, so it's just an estimate."

"Chen Ming came from the Psychic Association. You know their rules. Chen Ming is not willing to accept any tests now, so he can only use this method first."

The psyker friend said with a somewhat unhappy tone: "If you ask me, just give him a test quietly while his deep consciousness is submerged. Many people are looking forward to Chen Ming being tested one day, so just do this There are so many things going on.”

Bai Quan decisively rejected this idea: "No, I don't want to turn a good friend into an enemy."

"Whatever, I just mentioned it casually."

Bai Quan did not dwell on this point too much and said: "Let me ask you something, for you psychics, is there anything good that can assist in the recovery of mental power or directly improve the mental power?"

"A good thing with these two functions? Let me think about it."

"Ectoplasm stones with the character of 'spirit', special psychic creatures, ship spirits, and spiritual weapons will also work. Oh, by the way, I heard that there is something called condensed psychic energy source. This seems to work too."

"Well... there are also various devices found in the psyker ruins of that civilization, and the unique psionic weapons they left behind. That's about it. What's wrong? Are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"It's okay, I was just asking."

"I don't believe it. I guess you suspect that Chen Ming has something similar."

"You know, but you still ask."

Baiquan said and put on his helmet.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, we have to go in quickly, don't make people wait for a long time."

"I know, I know."

When Baiquan just lay down on the equipment.

Chen Ming has completed deep consciousness dive, and his body can still move normally.

This is good news, at least Chen Ming will not be unable to move on both sides due to the partial consciousness on the prosthetic body.

But this put him in a very strange state.

The consciousness of the prosthetic body has indeed been accelerated, but at the same time, this part of consciousness has also undergone some changes along with the main consciousness of Chen Ming's body, which makes Chen Ming's thinking speed also accelerate.

The prosthetic's thinking acceleration rate allows things that take a month to be solved in just a dozen hours.

The acceleration efficiency of the thinking speed acquired by the main body is about 10%. In other words, Chen Ming's main body's thinking speed was accelerated by nearly five times in just a few dozen seconds.

One day can be used for five days.

Of course, Chen Ming's current thinking speed itself has been accelerated several times with the assistance of the two hive mind networks of the mechanical race and the Zerg race.

Therefore, the combined effect of the two has made Chen Ming's thinking speed reach an exaggerated level.

Wait, Chen Ming suddenly understood why the main body's acceleration efficiency was only 10%.

It's because of these two hive minds.

There was only partial consciousness of Chen Ming on the prosthesis over there.

It is equivalent to an independent sub-consciousness controlled by Chen Ming and affected by Chen Ming's main body's thinking speed.

In addition to stating its main consciousness, the ontology here also has the consciousness of the insect swarm and the machine race mounted on it, which provides the ontology with an increase in thinking.

Therefore, it is also accelerated by the feedback of the prosthesis, so the overall acceleration efficiency is of course low.

Let’s look at the current situation from the beginning.

It is probably the mechanical race and the Zerg race that provide the main body with the blessing of thinking speed.

The main body also provides the blessing of the same thinking speed as the main body to the part of consciousness on the prosthesis.

Then the thinking of the prosthetic body was accelerated and fed back to the main body.

Due to the existence of two hive minds, the main body cannot continue to accelerate, so it only reaches about five times the original speed.

The bonuses and feedback from the prosthetic body did not overlap with each other, and things like stepping on the left foot and the right foot to reach the sky did not happen, which ultimately led to the current situation.

It seems that after waiting, Chen Ming will have to ask the insect queen if she feels her mind speeding up.

Let’s see if the Zerg and Machine races are purely a drag in this regard, or if they take away part of the blessing that Chen Ming should have had.

If part of it is taken away, it seems to be of great benefit to the subsequent development of the insect queen.

Moreover, this situation did not have a great impact on Chen Ming himself.

After all, the prosthetic's thinking acceleration is real, and the prosthesis can still do many things at a terrifying thinking speed.

Chen Ming quickly understood the situation after the prosthesis entered deep consciousness.

At the same time, after getting used to the accelerated thinking for a while, he quickly got used to it.

However, this simulation device still left a very deep impression on Chen Ming. After all, the rate of thought acceleration was a bit exaggerated.

He hadn't noticed the existence of such a thing in analog equipment before.

It seems that we need to look back at this technology that may involve the brain and nerves.

Chen Ming actually had something similar on hand.

I got it from Yuhui, the neural overclocking device.

It has the ability to stimulate brain nerves, increase nerve activity, and accelerate thinking within a certain period of time after use.

When I first encountered this device, Yu Hui's file showed that it was a relic of another civilization.

But I didn't expect that the Empire had already made this kind of thing in the simulation device based on this technology.

However, it is hard to say which of the two is more suitable for Chen Ming to use.

After all, Chen Ming only needs to spend ten minutes a day using the neural overclocker, and then Chen Ming's nerves will be activated for the whole day, which can ensure that Chen Ming will maintain this effect when he is awake.

And this thought acceleration device seems to have some limitations.

The first and most obvious thing is that you must lie on this device.

And since there is such a device, Chen Ming doesn't see any place in the Empire where it is widely used.

Either it is a cost issue, or this kind of equipment cannot be used for a long time.

If Chen Ming wants to get one, it's okay if the problem is the former problem, but if it is the latter problem, then it's better to use this thing less.

He must figure this out.

Of course, he doesn't have the time to do these things now.

When Chen Ming completely completed the deep consciousness infiltration, he found that he was in a dark virtual space.

There were some figures standing next to him.

Including him, there were ten people in total, standing face to face in a 50-50 split, and Cheng Xinghai stood opposite him.

When she saw Chen Ming, she showed a sly smile on her face, stretched out her hand to Chen Ming and said, "Finally here, let's start."

Chen Ming looked at Cheng Xinghai's hand, and then looked at the side. The other eight people standing face to face were shaking hands with each other to show friendship.

Chen Ming also shook hands.

However, his attention was not on Cheng Xinghai at all, but on the other eight people present.

Seven of them were people he didn't know, and the only one he knew was Cheng Xinghe, who happened to be standing in his row.

Cheng Xinghe immediately noticed Chen Ming's gaze and immediately turned his head away with some embarrassment.

But Chen Ming didn't do anything.

He wouldn't remember the past that had ended for too long, and Cheng Xinghe's current behavior was really unnecessary in his opinion.

But he couldn't care about what happened to the others, so Chen Ming didn't say anything and continued to observe the others.

These people looked very young, the oldest was only in his early twenties, and they were a few years younger than Chen Ming.

However, their expressions did not look like those of young people who had just started out, but more like the backbone of a force.

I don’t know why, except for him and the two siblings Cheng Xinghe and Cheng Xinghai, the remaining seven people all looked very serious.

They looked like they were not going to a simulated battlefield, but a real battlefield.

But it was not easy for Chen Ming to ask at this time.

Because after the two sides met and shook hands, the friendly pre-war exchange session ended.

The figures of Cheng Xinghai and the other four people standing in front of Chen Ming gradually disappeared.

Only the four people who belonged to the same camp as Chen Ming were still by his side.

And from this moment on.

Chen Ming found that there were two more times in the upper right corner of his vision.

One was the standard earth time in the outside world, and the time passed slowly, which was caused by the acceleration of thinking.

The other was a countdown time in the simulation that was the same as the normal time in perception, with a total length of exactly half an hour after a month.

One month was the deadline for the next simulated war, and half an hour should be the last preparation time now.

At the same time, a special terminal appeared in Chen Ming’s hand.

It seemed that participants in the same team could directly contact each other.

After confirming their own situation, the five people present looked at each other.

Except for Chen Ming, the four people seemed to know each other.

So except for Cheng Xinghe, the eyes of the other three people quickly locked on Chen Ming.

One of them suddenly took a small step towards Chen Ming and said to Chen Ming: "Hello Chen Ming, I am Song Pu, a senior student majoring in military command at the Military University directly under the 14th Corps."

"Hello."

Chen Ming nodded in response and asked: "Do you need me to do anything?"

Song Pu did not answer the question directly, but asked: "I heard from Cheng Xinghai that this is your first time to participate in such a large-scale simulated battle, is that right?"

"Yes."

Chen Ming did not deny it.

"Then let me give you a brief introduction first."

"We are now conducting a large-scale simulated battle with the star field as the background."

"Because the capabilities required in large-scale wars involve a wide range, it must be carried out by multiple people."

"We need to work together to achieve the goals set in the background to win."

Although Chen Ming had learned about the general situation from Baiquan before, Song Pu would definitely not give him face if he said it again.

So he simply pretended to know nothing and said, "I understand, but I heard that the background of this mission is a civil war, divided into two camps: government forces and rebels. So are we government forces or rebels?"

Before Song Pu could answer, someone next to him said, "We need to confirm this after we actually go in."

Song Pu nodded to the young man who was wearing square glasses and looked a little fat, and turned back to Chen Ming and said, "That's it."

Chen Ming glanced at the fat man and asked, "You seem to have cooperated before?"

"Yes, we have participated in similar simulated battles together before."

"How about this, let's get to know each other first so that it's easier to call each other."

"After we fully enter the simulation, we can follow our previous habits and call each other by code names, how about that?"

Chen Ming certainly wouldn't refuse this, and said, "I have no objection."

Song Pu patted his chest and said, "I, Song Pu, code name Commander, am good at overall dispatch and command of large-scale battlefields."

Then he pointed to the little fat man with glasses who had just spoken and said, "This is Dong Miao, who is in the same school and grade as me, but majors in logistics. Good at dispatching logistics materials and integrating logistics routes to ensure the supply of materials for the front-line troops. "

Song Pu's eyes immediately turned to the man who had not spoken and was very strong and said: "This Hong Guanghong's code name is Engineer, majoring in military theory at the Military Industrial University, good at planning and dispatching military engineering, that is, responsible for the planning of the military industry and the layout of various military facilities. "

Finally, he pointed to Cheng Xinghe and said: "This is Cheng Xinghe, code name General, good at battlefield command, you seem to know each other before?"

Cheng Xinghe nodded slightly, still looking a little evasive to Chen Ming.

But Ming Quan had already responded before, gave the compensation he deserved, and apologized solemnly.

But Cheng Xinghe seemed to be unable to let go of this matter, and he didn't know what the situation was.

At this time, Bai Quan, who had just laid in the equipment and had not had time to completely sink into the deep consciousness, suddenly felt a little itchy in his nose, but this feeling soon disappeared.

Bai Quan didn't care and continued to sink his consciousness into the equipment.

Chen Ming naturally couldn't imagine how much Cheng Xinghe had suffered after returning.

He just thought about the most appropriate way for him to do things in this situation, and chose to come to Cheng Xinghe and extend his hand to him.

Cheng Xinghe hesitated for a moment, and finally extended his hand and shook it vigorously.

"Sorry."

"Then our previous conflicts will end here?"

"Yes, thank you."

Cheng Xinghe nodded to Chen Ming and put away his previous look.

Bai Quan's punishment on him actually ended when he completed the tasks assigned to him by Bai Quan.

He has been like this mainly because he has been worried about Chen Ming's attitude in his heart.

He is Bai Quan's junior, and Chen Ming has grown from being able to tie with him to being able to sit on equal footing with Bai Quan in just a few months.

Let Cheng Xinghe have an indescribable gap and worry.

However, after actually meeting Chen Ming, and Chen Ming showed a normal attitude.

Cheng Xinghe also found that his worries were unnecessary, and it was not a big deal to continue.

So since Chen Ming gave him a suitable step, he went down with the flow.

Moreover, the words that Cheng Xinghai had told Bai Quan during the day were still ringing in his ears.

If Bai Quan reported him to the school because of his poor performance on the battlefield, it would be embarrassing even if he was a senior and had come out to participate in the war for internship.

So now he had to put all the past things aside and devote himself to the next simulated war.

If he could let go completely, rather than just temporarily, it would be a good thing for him.
