Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 223 Action Route

Cheng Xinghai looked at the wristband on his wrist, and at the same time noticed a similar thing on Chen Ming's wrist, and asked, "What is the use of this thing?"

"The extension of my spiritual power should have all the effects you can think of."

"Are you using this to limit me?"

Chen Ming nodded, reached out to the handle of the wheelchair and said, "Okay, it's time to go."

Cheng Xinghai waved his right wrist slightly and said, "Didn't you put restrictions on me? If you don't throw me into prison or find a place to lock me up, where else can I go?"

"Even with this thing, I don't think it's safe. After all, you are a psychic. It would be too dangerous to let you out alone. I have to keep an eye on you."

Cheng Xinghai asked curiously: "I'm just a brain-enhanced psyker. Why do you think I can run away with my hands and feet broken?"

An image of Cheng Xinghai almost kicking him to death on a civilian passenger ship flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and he said casually: "Then I'm just a psyker who can make the spacecraft autopilot and have some maintenance skills. "

"And I heard a saying."

"What words?"

"When you understand that auxiliary psykers are not without combat effectiveness, you are just getting started with psykers."

"Your physical fitness shouldn't just be achieved through exercise, right? The enhanced brain controls the body to make some breakthroughs, and it's normal to have extraordinary movements."

Cheng Xinghai blinked, looked at Chen Ming's face, and then at the wristband on his hand, but said nothing.

Chen Ming didn't notice Cheng Xinghai's expression. He just pushed Cheng Xinghai off the spaceship.

Went to the rebel headquarters to meet Song Pu.

After all, you can only enter text in the terminal, so I can only talk about it roughly.

If possible, it would be better to meet in person and then say yes.

When Chen Ming pushed open the door of Song Pu's office.

Song Pu glanced at Cheng Xinghai in the wheelchair and then at Chen Ming. Without saying a word, he continued to operate on the computer in front of him.

Soon a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of his desk.

What is displayed is the star map of the Gallo-4 star area, the area actually controlled by the rebels.

On this star map, the coordinates of about twenty galaxies in total are specially marked.

And there is a line on the star map starting from the rebel headquarters, where Chen Ming is now, connecting all the more than twenty galaxies.

Song Pu walked out from behind his desk and motioned for Chen Ming to take a closer look at the star map. At the same time, he said, "I have already planned a specific course of action for you."

"These connecting points are the locations of our industrial colonies and important logistics centers. As long as you follow this line, you can almost touch these places."

"Everything you need in the colony will be in your hands along the way."

Chen Ming stood next to the three-dimensional imaging and had a panoramic view of the entire Galo-4 star field, and then said to Sogou: "Actually, with a little trick, I can go to these places without even having to go there myself."

"But it's okay to go there. I feel that rather than using other things to help, it's really not as efficient as going there myself."

Song Pu knew Chen Ming, and naturally knew what the little trick Chen Ming mentioned was, so he really thought about it before he proposed to Chen Ming the plan to have Chen Ming go there in person.

"I have prepared a cruiser for you at the port."

Chen Ming recalled that when he landed, there seemed to be a ruler parked at the port.

A ship like the Ruler is acceptable to Chen Ming, but he still wants to try and ask: "Is there any stardust?"

"The Stardust class... this thing has not been developed at this point in the simulation. It will be another year."

"Okay, then let's be the ruler."

Song Pu nodded slightly and continued: "If you pass by the general later, you can go to him. It is best for all our fleets to pass through your hands."

"no problem."

Although the number of spaceships Chen Ming can currently control is only seven cruisers.

But these seven cruisers are the upper limit for him to have full control over the spacecraft and control it in real time.

If only spiritual energy was used to maintain contact, the number would be much greater. It was the upper limit of the number of spacecraft controls that could actually be maintained. He really didn't know yet.

Therefore, Chen Ming is not worried that he will not have enough mental strength to control those spaceships when the time comes.

But Chen Ming still has a question: "Where is the fleet here?"

Chen Ming did not see that Song Pu had any intention of letting him control the fleet at the headquarters.

Song Pu explained: "The headquarters' fleet is not in a hurry for the time being, because the headquarters' fleet itself will only be mobilized when the situation on the front line is critical. It is better for you to control the ones here than to control the ones elsewhere first."

"And controlling an entire fleet should consume a lot of your mental energy, right? It's best to use your mental energy on industrial facilities now."

"I see."

Chen Ming said calmly: "For me, the mental energy consumption is actually not bad, but it's okay. I have no objection. I will follow your plan."

Song Pu was very happy to see that Chen Ming had made a decision that was more in line with the interests of the current team. He said with a smile: "Okay, how many other boats do you need? As your escort fleet."

"There's no need for small boats. One big boat is more suitable for me."

For Chen Ming, small boats can only be cannon fodder. If he really fights with others, the main output will definitely be the cruiser.

However, if there are small boats as cannon fodder, Chen Ming may be able to win the game more easily without them.

Song Pu had no objection to this. As a psychic, Chen Ming naturally knew what kind of fleet size was more suitable for him.

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he received the star map file sent by Song Pu on his personal terminal, calculated the distance and the efficiency of the jump, and asked Song Pu: "When can we start?"

"Anytime, the sooner the better."

Chen Ming thought for a while and said: "Then I can leave today. If I go fast, I can go through all these places in one day."

Song Pu immediately dissuaded him when he heard the exaggerated time: "This is a bit too fast. The time the engineer spent on the blueprint is not as efficient as yours. Take your time and do it according to the normal hyperspace navigation time."

"This is the route planned by the engineer. It must be a speed that can match his work speed. If it is too fast, you can only stay there and do nothing."

Chen Ming felt that Song Pu's understanding of his psychic power was not accurate, but he did not say much about psychic power.

Anyway, these things that can be seen with the naked eye will definitely be slowly adjusted later.

But there was one thing he still had to say: "Will it take five days to complete? Isn't it a bit slow? Isn't the time that the industrial buildings can actually be used after the expansion a bit too short?"

"I can actually jump over there by myself and run all the places once."

Song Pu suddenly felt that Chen Ming seemed a little too greedy, and said: "Then each industrial colony will have at least half a month of full production time. Half a month at least doubled production capacity is already a very ideal situation."

"My original plan was based on this, you don't have to worry too much about time issues."

"Also, although your idea is good, how will this burden your mental power? And I remember that the simulation equipment for mental power simulation is not perfect enough. Is it really okay for you to do this?"

Chen Ming said confidently: "If there are auxiliary tools, although it does consume some of my 's mental power, but I think it's acceptable. My mental power recovery speed is also very good. "

"As for the problem of mental power in the simulation, I have already told the referee that I am very clear about my mental power situation. I will stop using psychic power by myself when it reaches the upper limit."

"This is just a simulation. I don't need to cheat."

Seeing this, Song Pu stopped making suggestions: "Then do as you say, but try to go slower in the first two days. The speed of engineers producing blueprints should not be that fast."

"No problem, tell me when you can speed up, I can change the speed at any time, and the speed of engineers working must be faster than me."

"Well, I will arrange it for you."

Song Pu said as he walked to Chen Ming and patted his shoulder and said: "That's it, our industry depends on you and the engineers."

"Don't worry."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, his eyes suddenly swept over Cheng Xinghai who was doing nothing next to him.

In Cheng Xinghai's confused eyes, Chen Ming suddenly said to Song Pu: "There is something I need to confirm. How much do you know about my psychic power? How much do you think the other party knows about my psychic power?"

"What do you know about your psychic power?"

"As for me, I don't say much. You told me a lot of information yourself."

"According to the protection of your information by Lieutenant General Bai, the most you can get from the normal means of obtaining information is the basic effect of your psychic power. I only know the further derivative effects if you tell me."

"Or let's put it this way. Many people know that you and Lieutenant General Bai have made a big move on Yu Hui's territory, but no one knows how you did it."

"But she may not be."

Chen Ming looked at Cheng Xinghai again.

In fact, according to Cheng Xinghai's performance in the last simulated battle with him, Bai Quan did not take the initiative to tell Cheng Xinghai about his psychic power.

And since Bai Quan was the referee of this large-scale simulated battle, Cheng Xinghai must have told Bai Quan about it in advance.

In a multi-to-many situation, Bai Quan should not reveal his information.

So if Cheng Xinghai hadn't investigated him carefully, she might have known even less than her teammates.

At most, she knew the same as her teammates.

When Chen Ming looked at her, Cheng Xinghai showed an expression that she knew nothing.

Although Song Pu had some doubts, Chen Ming knew that she probably didn't know much.

So Chen Ming shook his head slightly at Song Pu and said, "It's okay."

Song Pu didn't say much. After returning to his desk, he asked Chen Ming, "When do you want to leave?"

"About an hour or two? I checked some information I was interested in on the way here."

"The simulation background seems to be very close to reality. I found that there seem to be several research institutes that originally belonged to the military of the star zone."

"And because the rebels originated from Galo-4, the people in this star zone seem to be very normal, not corrupted, and the research institutes are still operating normally."

Song Pu didn't expect that Chen Ming was still paying attention to this in the simulation, and said with a little embarrassment: "It takes a long time for the research institute to produce results, so I didn't pay much attention and just let them do their own thing, but you I can give you a pass if you want to go to these places.”

"Just get me an identity. There are several research institutes I want to go to. It should be a bit troublesome to get them one by one."

"Okay, wait for me a moment."

About ten minutes later.

Song Pu raised his head and said to Chen Ming: "It's done, just take out the ID card wherever you want to go."

After speaking, he pointed to a corner of the office, where there was a door that looked like it only led to other rooms.

However, Song Pu's eyes quickly glanced at Cheng Xinghai next to Chen Ming and said, "If you want to leave, just go this way."

It seemed that the substitute Song Pu mentioned before had started to move.

Chen Ming needs to cooperate to complete the plan.

Of course Chen Ming would have no objection.

After leaving a secret passage in the rebel headquarters and taking some time to visit a few laboratories.

Chen Ming returned to the port again.

After doing what he needed to do, he came to the ruler who was docked alone at the headquarters port.

This Dominator-class ship looks a bit old, but it has obviously been maintained very meticulously.

Chen Ming reached out and touched the thick and cold armor of the ruler, and the cruiser immediately came under his control.

All the data on the spacecraft was placed in front of Chen Ming.

There was nothing on the cruiser except a quite sufficient supply of supplies and some auxiliary robots, which perfectly met Chen Ming's needs.

Chen Ming suddenly turned his head and glanced at Cheng Xinghai. The autistic look on her face seemed to have recovered a lot.

When she noticed that Chen Ming was looking at her, she immediately said, "Why are you looking at me? You can't really want to leave me here watching TV since my legs were broken by you, right?"

Chen Ming corrected: "You kicked your leg off yourself, and I originally planned to take you away with me."

"Oh, then why are you looking at me? And you took me to Songpu."

"I'm looking at you because I'm thinking about where to place you. As for taking you to Songpu, it's because I think if I leave you in the hospital, I think you're likely to run away, or simply find an opportunity to commit suicide. "

"Is that so? I thought you were planning to use me to carry out some plan."

Chen Ming didn't reply, and there was no change in his expression. Anyway, any attitude would not affect Cheng Xinghai's speculation. The more he said, the more likely he would be wrong.

"gone."

Chen Ming pushed Cheng Xinghai onto the cruiser and arranged a separate cell for her.

A few minutes later, the spacecraft took off.

Chen Ming's first stop was a logistics center not far from the rebel headquarters.

This place is located in a location where many hyperspace channels intersect. It has a superior geographical location and is a good distribution center for supplies.

A considerable amount of military supplies are also distributed here, and a lot of civilian supplies also need to pass through this place.

There are clustered warehouses here, which are very convenient to control together.

It won't be like those integrated colonies, which are basically block-shaped.

And because of integration, the area of ​​each region may be larger than an entire specialized colony.

In addition, there are different types of warehouses in different areas, and it takes a lot of time to control them.

Therefore, there is no comprehensive colony on Chen Ming's itinerary.

But this time, with Song Pu's advance arrangements, Chen Ming successfully docked at the destination planet without any accidents, and stayed in a space station in the orbit of the planet.

When he was doing business, Chen Ming didn't intend to cause trouble and got off the spacecraft alone.

Soon someone came to guide Chen Ming to the colony on the surface of the planet and took him to different material warehouses.

Although this guidance is almost the same as no guidance, after all, Chen Ming can tell where the warehouse is. When passing by the warehouse, he basically touches every warehouse.

It was when he was doing this that he had a question: "This is a logistics center. If I use the materials in the warehouse here, wouldn't there be a shortage of materials in some places?"

"And some warehouses look like they are not the warehouses of our rebels, but the warehouses of companies doing business here."

Song Pu's answer was soon waiting on the terminal: "Small-scale loss of military supplies is nothing. These supplies will basically have a certain margin when preparing."

"If materials are to be used on a large scale, or if they are used in the colonies, you can access the materials prepared for the colonies in advance."

"If there is an emergency that requires materials, it must be in a place that is more important than the original destination of these materials. That's nothing."

"So just use it whatever you want."

"As for those companies, let's not talk about whether they can discover the lack of materials in the warehouse at the first time."

"Even if they find out, they report it, conduct monitoring and inspections, and finally find that the supplies disappear out of thin air, and then report to me along the way, and finally find you, do you think one month is enough?"

Dong Miao suddenly said at this time: "By then we will have already picked up our pants and left."

"..."

Song Pu was silent for a few seconds and said, "What you say is rough, but your reasoning is not rough."

At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly felt that Dong Miao, who was in charge of logistics, was very skilled in doing this kind of thing.

But he didn't care too much, after all, he was a teammate.

Soon, Chen Ming walked through the storage area of ​​the entire logistics center.

After controlling the last warehouse, Chen Ming also had a rough estimate of his current mental power consumption.

It can only be said that it is very little. After all, warehouses are very basic buildings, not complicated at all, and there is no cutting-edge technology. The difficulty of controlling them is almost zero.

After confirming that his mental power is not exceeded, Chen Ming returned to the cruiser again.

From the time he got off the spaceship to now, it took a total of more than two hours.

The time spent is more than Chen Ming imagined.

Originally, Chen Ming thought that controlling these things should be very fast.

But if it is based on the current efficiency, he even feels that even if he simply passes by these colonies and logistics centers, it will take two or three days to control warehouses and industrial facilities.

If he does something else and needs to wait for his mental power to recover, it may take longer.

But it's okay, at least it's faster than Song Pu originally expected, and if it's a little slower, he can cooperate with his teammates.

Chen Ming thought about it and simply followed the time and efficiency that Song Pu said, spending five days to go all the way and slow down his pace.

Chen Ming has never been a stubborn person. He has always been doing things to correct his own problems and learn from others' good points.

Song Pu was directly assigned to the position of the leader of the rebels, and he definitely has a lot of things to learn from him, at least in large-scale planning.

Chen Ming walked up to the ruler while thinking about Song Pu's way of doing things.

Just when he got on the boat, he suddenly heard a dong dong dong sound not too far from the entrance.

It was the sound coming from Cheng Xinghai's room.

Chen Ming walked over and found that Cheng Xinghai was leaning against the door in the room, knocking hard on the soft wall with the back of one hand, barely making a sound to attract Chen Ming's attention.

At this moment, the expression on Cheng Xinghai's face seemed to have lost the previous depression.

Chen Ming immediately opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Xinghai leaned against the wall, tilted his head and looked at Chen Ming and said, "What did you do just now?"

"Working."

"Why didn't you take me with you?"

"Because you are a prisoner."

"..."

That makes sense, there is no way to refute it.

But for Cheng Xinghai, she didn't want to stay on the boat any longer.

She had just completely thrown away the things in her mind that she didn't want to think about for the time being.

At the same time, she also temporarily put aside the frustration of being captured by Chen Ming as soon as she came up, and returned to her usual appearance.

As a result, she has nothing to do now. She was locked in the cell for more than two hours in boredom, and the idea she just got rid of came back to her mind.

She couldn't run away, and she wanted to commit suicide, but the whole room was limp, and she couldn't do it at all.

So Cheng Xinghai felt that she couldn't go on like this.

Even if she couldn't run away, she had to do something, even if it was just to test Chen Ming's attitude, maybe she could find some opportunities to escape through what Chen Ming said.

Or use the way of building relationships, think of a way, at least let Chen Ming take her with him when he gets off the ship next time.

"Chen Ming, let me ask you something, what is the specific relationship between you and Uncle Bai?"

Although Chen Ming was very confused about why Cheng Xinghai suddenly asked this, he still replied: "We should be considered friends."

"Is that so? I heard that you had cooperated during the Yuhui operation? And you seemed to have conflicts earlier?"

Chen Ming could treat the first half of the sentence as Cheng Xinghai asking casually after listening to what Song Pu said, but the second half was something that only Bai Quan knew and could not be told to outsiders.

After all, this was actually a scandal of the 14th Corps.

So Chen Ming didn't answer directly, but just said: "This is more complicated."

Cheng Xinghai still said persistently: "Tell me about it."

"I'm a prisoner and can't do anything. At least let me not be so bored."

"Besides, this is something outside of this battle, it doesn't matter if you talk about it."

Cheng Xinghai stretched out two fingers that could barely move and pulled the corner of Chen Ming's coat, looking pitiful.

Chen Ming had never been treated like this before. After pulling the clothes twice without opening, he sighed and said: "Okay."
