Chapter 225 Others’ Doubts

Just when Chen Ming's psychic power covered the entire industrial zone and expanded an entire industrial colony.

As a referee, Bai Quan looked at this scene and felt a little emotional, feeling the rapid progress of Chen Ming's psychic power.

Bai Quan really had a thorough understanding of Chen Ming's life.

Especially the period from ordinary people to psychics, he had a detailed and in-depth understanding.

From the beginning of the mining space station to Ruimu, and then to the pirate space station, the speed of Chen Ming's psychic power progress in the whole process was completely slow compared to now.

Until Wu An discovered Chen Ming's seedling and began to cultivate him, Chen Ming's psychic power strength and mental power increased all the way.

Especially the last time he performed in Yu Hui, he was able to successfully destroy Yu Hui's new battleship.

At that time, Chen Ming could already make a lot of noise.

So now, when Bai Quan saw Chen Ming completing the expansion of the colony in the simulation, he had no doubt that Chen Ming could really do these things in reality.

Moreover, the realization of various psychic attributes of deep simulation is not something that can be done in a snap.

Instead, it relies on the settings input before the simulation begins. After the computer logic calculation of the simulation equipment, it calculates the effect of the set conditions in the final simulation.

This should be the closest to reality.

Except that the total amount of Chen Ming's mental power cannot be determined, all performances should be no different from what Chen Ming can do in reality.

As for whether Chen Ming's mental power is sufficient.

After the giant dock incident, Bai Quan gave Chen Ming a second spiritual awakening nerve, and his mental power is definitely higher than that of the dock.

And the last time Hu Yi used the volcano to try to assassinate Chen Ming.

Chen Ming completely protected the dome in the ghost place of their 14th Legion Branch.

He even used the effect of the Purgatory Core to directly solidify the entire vertical volcano.

Bai Quan specially asked someone to translate Chen Ming's paper on the Purgatory Core, and roughly understood the mechanism of the Purgatory Core.

This Purgatory Core is just a tool, and it has more of a converter effect.

If a psychic can directly use the Purgatory Core to suppress a volcano, it at least means that the psychic power of the psychic is strong enough to affect the volcano.

Therefore, even if Chen Ming achieved a psychic effect of this scale, Bai Quan did not raise any objections. He believed that Chen Ming could do it.

At this moment, Bai Quan suddenly received an external signal.

Someone from the headquarters logged into the simulation device and was applying to watch the game.

Identity authentication... It was Song Pu's mentor Pang Dong and Dong Miao's mentor Shi Han, both of whom were major generals.

Of course, this does not mean that every student has a major general as a mentor, but only excellent people can have excellent graduation mentors.

It is normal for mentors to care about students.

The use rights of the simulation equipment itself are not only in Bai Quan's hands.

It's just that the referee authority of this simulation is in Bai Quan's hands, so watching the game requires Bai Quan's permission.

And unlike the referee authority, which can gain insight into the entire battlefield situation, the perspective of the spectator authority is limited to the vicinity of all people in the simulation, and cannot understand a broader situation.

So Bai Quan directly opened the permissions to the two instructors and pulled them into the communication channel.

By the way, he kicked out his psychic friend who was always talking nonsense to prevent him from clashing with others later.

After Song Pu's instructor Pang Dong accessed the spectator system and joined the communication channel, he immediately asked Bai Quan who was already in the channel: "Lieutenant General Bai, how is the situation? I just heard that the simulation started and came here. How long has it been now?"

Bai Quan did not hide anything and summarized the current situation: "It has only been one day in the simulation. Song Pu's side currently has a big advantage."

"One day has an advantage?"

"Yes, at the beginning of the game, his teammates found an opportunity and captured one of the opponents."

"Sure, I have seen the list of personnel. The only one who can capture the opponent at the beginning should be Chen Ming, right?"

Pang Dong knew the background of the simulation, and he also knew that both sides would have one person very close to each other at the beginning.

But his own students were still clear and unlikely to take the risk of one-for-one exchange.

It seems that the other few people have not done similar things, so Chen Ming should be the only one who can do this.

Bai Quan answered as expected: "Yes, it's him."

"Who did he capture?"

"Cheng Xinghai."

"Uh..."

Pang Dong felt something was wrong, and avoided the topic and asked: "Are we the only ones watching the game now?"

"I heard that Lieutenant General Bai will send the results of this simulation to their respective schools. Our students can't sit still. You told us about this in advance. Others should come as well, right?"

Dong Miao's mentor Shi Han said: "We came as soon as we received the news. It's normal that others haven't come yet. Maybe they will come in a while."

As soon as Shi Han finished speaking, Bai Quan received another signal for applying to watch the game.

When he saw the applicant's identity information, he frowned slightly, but did not make any other moves. He just said in the communication channel of watching the game: "Someone came as soon as I said that. It was Lou Wei, the mentor of Di Jia on the opposite side."

Pang Dong suddenly felt that something was going to happen next, and confirmed: "Lou Wei?"

"Well, that's him, I let him in."

As soon as Lou Wei entered the channel, he asked the same question as Pang Dong: "How is the situation?"

Bai Quan said nothing, but Pang Dong spoke on behalf of Bai Quan: "Your side is temporarily at a disadvantage."

"Disadvantage? How long has it been?"

"one day."

"You're at a disadvantage in just one day? Is it true?"

"Really, you'll know just by looking at it."

After a moment of silence, Lou Wei said in a strange tone: "On the first day, four against five. How did you do it with such a disadvantage?"

Lou Wei's words were not directed at his own students.

Several people present could hear that these words were used to question Bai Quan.

The implication contained in it was that he suspected Bai Quan of arranging for Cheng Xinghai to kill someone intentionally.

Bai Quan first conveniently rejected his psychic friend's request to join the communication channel after he found out that he had been kicked out and Lou Wei also joined the communication channel.

Then he said to Lou Wei: "See for yourself."

"Um?"

Lou Wei's tone suddenly had a hint of anger and he said: "There should be everyone's perspective video of the past day, right? I want to take a closer look at what is the disadvantage. Please send it to me, Bai - middle - -Will--."

When the smell of gunpowder suddenly started to get stronger in Baiquan.

Song Pu finally finished lamenting the power of Chen Ming's spiritual energy, contacted Chen Ming and asked: "How is the consumption of spiritual power?"

"Still calculating."

Chen Ming replied quickly and continued to calculate the more detailed mental loss in his mind.

The workload of this industrial colony is quite large.

So when the expansion was just in progress, Chen Ming had already started to follow the scale of the expansion and the upper limit of his own mental power, plus various biological and dead objects he owned that could help him restore his mental power, as well as the resources provided by the hive mind. Blessing calculated an approximate loss.

Then Chen Ming's body was tested in real life using an approximate physical object of the same proportion. By simply converting it, he could get a basically accurate final amount of mental power consumption.

The result was unexpectedly low.

Although Chen Ming was purely following the drawings, he basically only needed to continuously extend and transform the original industrial building, and he didn't even need to manufacture anything more.

Moreover, the technological level of this colonial industrial facility that produces ship hulls and hull parts is not too high compared to other factories that produce high-precision chips.

But Chen Ming always felt that the acceleration of his thinking would have some positive effects when he used psychic powers.

The acceleration of thinking seems to have also strengthened the intensity of Chen Ming's consciousness, and the intensity of consciousness has also increased the intensity of Chen Ming's mental power.

This was a rather strange discovery. Chen Ming felt that he would have to look for an opportunity to use simulation equipment to dive deep into his consciousness and test it specifically.

But at least one thing is certain now, that is, the expansion of this colony has not completely exhausted his mental energy.

And judging from Chen Ming's calculation of his mental power recovery rate, he can fully recover his mental power in a few hours at most and start the next work.

So Chen Ming quickly said to Song Pu on the terminal: "I have already made the calculations here, and I can go directly to the next place."

"Are you in good condition?"

"The amount of mental energy consumed is about 80%. If you fly slowly on the road, you should be able to recover almost enough to support the next time."

"Then there is the logistics warehouse again. I can recover for a while at that time and can set off."

Song Pu was even more excited when he heard Chen Ming's answer and said, "Okay, if you continue to follow this efficiency, you may be closer to the front line in two days."

"When the time comes, remember to tell me or the general in advance to avoid being involved in any battle."

Chen Ming asked with some confusion: "Is there going to be a war so soon?"

"That's not true. It's not necessarily true. I'm just reminding you first."

"Because I feel that it is better for you to sit at the rear as much as possible. It would not be a good thing to be involved in the battle on the front line."

"The main thing is that your psychic power doesn't limit your location when you use it, so it doesn't matter where you are, right?"

Chen Ming did not deny this and said: "This is the truth."

But many times he still prefers to follow the fleet himself. This is a habit left over from when he didn't control many spaceships.

And now Chen Ming has a cruiser and a jump engine that can jump multiple times in a short period of time.

Even if he ran with the fleet, there was almost no possibility of being caught.

The only time they were almost caught was when the Machine Tribe took advantage of Chen Ming's attack on their colony and used the colony as bait to set up a device to block the entire galaxy.

But since he ran away at that time, among other things, he is quite skilled at running away now.

But now they were engaging in a team-based battle in a simulation device. Chen Ming didn’t mind a bit of a team, and said, “Then I’ll pay attention. Once I control the colonies and warehouses on the front line, I’ll go directly to find a place where no one knows.” place to squat.”

"That's fine. If you have a terminal, you can contact us at any time. You have the ability to jump multiple times. You can run around the entire star zone with you. If something happens, you can be there at the first time."

"That's it. Remember to tell me when you get there next time."

"Okay."

After Chen Ming and Song Pu finished communicating, a day passed in a blink of an eye.

Song Pu, who was at the rebel headquarters, ended his communication with Chen Ming again.

He just learned that Chen Ming had arrived at the fourth industrial colony and would start the fourth expansion immediately.

And this was because Chen Ming had taken a slightly longer break after the expansion of the third colony, which led to the fourth expansion starting now.

This efficiency has once again exceeded Song Pu's expectations.

It's only been a little over a day, and three colonies have been completed, and the fourth colony is about to be completely controlled and expanded by Chen Ming.

This means that it will take at most two or three days for Chen Ming to complete the total of eleven industrial colonies in the star zone they actually control.

This efficiency is really amazing.

And the same is true for Hong Guanghong.

In order to keep up with Chen Ming's efficiency, he had no time to relax. He had been preparing the blueprint for the industrial colony for more than 30 hours.

Although he could not sleep in this deep simulation because of the accelerated consciousness, it was still necessary to take some rest.

Hong Guanghong was also working hard in this situation.

Since others were working, Song Pu naturally had to work.

As a person responsible for the dispatch of the battlefield and the overall situation, he had to grasp the overall situation.

The overall situation included not only the rebels themselves, but also the opponents.

Although every team member is important in the team-based simulation battle, it does not mean that one person cannot continue.

Even if the opponent has been at a disadvantage because of Cheng Xinghai's capture, they will definitely not give up and must be looking for some kind of opportunity.

Therefore, Song Pu has also been increasing his investigation of the government forces recently.

After signing a document, Song Pu said to the secretary who had just come in and was waiting on the side: "How is that matter going?"

"It's going smoothly. There are people in the government army who sympathize with us. After helping us develop some informants, he has successfully infiltrated the giant dock."

"Three people have been turned in the department responsible for the maintenance of the giant dock, one of whom is a member of the department's management."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this department will continue to be responsible for the maintenance of the battleship after the maintenance of the giant dock is completed."

"It is expected that we will be able to get involved in the core work and destroy the giant dock within a week."

Song Pu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, let them continue to do this. If there is any news, notify me as soon as possible."

"If the government army wants to find a way to deal with us, repairing the giant dock and pulling out the battleship parked there is the most convenient means. We must never let them do this."

The secretary silently wrote down Song Pu's words.

Song Pu paused for a moment and continued to ask; "Is there any movement from the government army in other aspects?"

The secretary replied: "After signing the armistice agreement, the government army's armed forces have gradually moved to the edge of Galo-3 in accordance with the agreement, and there seems to be a sign of organizing negotiations."

"But there is one thing that is strange. Their propaganda has not stopped recently. Instead, they want to put pressure on us in public opinion. Two things have obviously begun to ferment."

"Which two?"

The secretary glanced at Song Pu and said cautiously: "It's about the accidental injury of civilians in our headquarters."

Song Pu's expression did not change much, and he said simply: "This is easy to solve. Just publicly state that there is an unknown failure in the communication system and hint at the espionage behavior of the government army."

"I have asked the relevant departments to do a good job of the aftermath. Compensation for the dead and injured has been given and has been forgiven by the families."

When the secretary was about to contact people on the terminal.

Song Pu waved his hand again to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, don't rush to respond with our own propaganda."

"First, use the news newspapers on the government side to record our post-processing and publish it. Don't give it too much publicity, just let this news sink in."

"When public opinion really ferments, you can use our propaganda outlets to start propaganda. The more the government army ferments at this time, the more bitter fruits it will have to eat at that time."

"We should have people in this area on the government side, right?"

The secretary immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I will do it later."

"Okay, what about the other thing?"

The secretary glanced at the file in his hand and said, "It's about the gentleman who came to you two days ago."

Song Pu turned his head to look at the secretary and asked, "Chen Ming? It's not about him on the government side, right?"

"Yes, the other side said that the spies we sent out carried out terrorist attacks at civilian aerospace airports, resulting in significant property losses."

"Does the government army have a video?"

"Yes."

The secretary immediately handed the terminal to Song Pu, and a news video was playing on it.

However, the content of the video can be said to be quite blurry. There are only some fierce explosion shots and videos of post-disaster reconstruction of the civilian aerospace airport after the incident and cleaning up the wreckage and ruins. Chen Ming's identity as a psyker was not revealed.

After reading it, the waves in Song Pu's heart were completely smoothed away, and he said: "It's okay, this matter is easy to handle. I'll show you a document and you will know."

Song Pu happened to have a video file in his hand that Chen Ming had handed to him when he came over.

It was recorded by Chen Ming himself from multiple perspectives, recording what he did at the Sky Airport.

Anyway, at least Chen Ming did not take the initiative to attack civilians. It was even the government forces who took the initiative to attack him in the beginning.

In addition, there are clips of police robots killing each other in the video.

With a little editing, it is a piece of evidence that can turn what the government forces did into an ugly act that they directed and performed themselves.

After giving the video to his secretary, Song Pu asked him again: "Is there anything else?"

"There is nothing important for now. I have sorted out the rest of the files that you may need to see and sent them to your computer."

"Yes, then you go do your own thing."

"yes."

After the secretary left, Song Pu was the only one left in the office.

He leaned back on his seat, and images of recent actions by government forces flashed through his mind.

To be honest, he felt that the government forces frequently used some nasty tricks. Although these methods seemed to be fine, they were very easy to be countered and should not be used so casually.

Instead, release it at a better time, such as when they start fighting again.

Then he might not have the energy to take care of these things.

As a precaution, the government forces should not say that they did these things because of Cheng Xinghai's disappearance.

I need to observe more, maybe there is some special arrangement.

Song Pu breathed out.

Suddenly he stood up and walked out of the office, ready to go outside to get some fresh air.

This is the downside of simulating too much detail on these things.

Although there is no need for sleep, the mental pressure caused by long hours of work is real, and it is easy to cause accidents if it is not relieved a little.

Just when Song Pu left the office and went to the corridor to light a cigarette for himself.

There were two young officers holding paper documents in their arms talking on the other side of the corridor. Neither of them saw Song Pu coming out of the office.

Just as Song Pu took a puff of his cigarette, he heard one of them say: "Our recent movements seem to be increasing our preparations for war. Didn't we sign an armistice agreement with the government troops?"

Another person immediately said: "Because the government troops did not retreat at all. Instead, they stopped at the border of Galo 3 and did not withdraw to Galo 1 and Galo 2. What do you mean by the government troops?"

"But will the government forces really violate the armistice agreement?"

Song Pu went over and patted the shoulder of the person who first asked the question.

After the young officer turned his head, a somewhat frightened look appeared on his face.

Song Pu said to him calmly: "The armistice agreement is meant to be torn up. Don't forget what the government originally looked like. We must be prepared to fight with force until higher levels intervene. Never trust your enemies."

Song Pu returned to his office soon after.

Cheng Xinghe contacted him at this moment and said, "I am already preparing to set up a trap and arrange to pick up the person. When picking up the person, I will use the identified spy to transmit the information to the other side in a reasonable way. There should be action.”

"Understood. Chen Ming should also be near your place at about the same time. If you need support, let him know. Don't feel embarrassed."

Cheng Xinghe said decisively: "I know, I can understand the priorities of things. But it depends on whether the opponent is trapping him or not. If not, there is nothing I can do."

Song Pu didn't finish what Cheng Xinghe said, and followed him and said: "Well, anyway, this is just a random attempt. I never thought that Chen Ming could catch Cheng Xinghai from the beginning. It doesn't matter even if the opponent doesn't come. Just use it as a warm-up exercise.”

"Speaking of which, how is the quality of your soldiers there? Only part of the rebels are converted from the regular army, and many are new recruits. I am more worried about the source of soldiers and the number of soldiers."

"I feel okay."

Cheng Xinghe spoke without any worry in his tone: "Now the rebels are basically veterans leading new recruits. After fighting a few battles and losing some people, the new recruits basically become veterans."

"If you continue this mode, although the overall combat power will be weaker than that of pure veterans, the benefits of doing so are also obvious."

"It can quickly transform new recruits into combat effectiveness, and the overall loss will not be too great if the veterans are with them."

"As long as it's okay with you."

After contacting Cheng Xinghe, Song Pu turned around and contacted Hong Guanghong and asked, "How is the progress over there?"

Hong Guanghong responded after a while: "It's okay. The subsequent colonies are much easier to build than the main business of ship hull manufacturing at the beginning. The only ones left are manufacturing chips and high-precision equipment." The colonies are more troublesome, but that’s about it.”

"As long as I produce results, I will contact Chen Ming as soon as possible. But now, his mental recovery speed can't keep up with the speed at which I can produce blueprints."

Song Pu nodded again with satisfaction and said, "The fact that Chen Ming's expansion of the colony can be compared to your drawing speed is outrageous enough."

After continuing to explain some things to Hong Guanghong.

Song Pu looked at the time and continued to devote himself to his own work.
