Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 226 Stepping Into the Trap

Two days later.

Chen Ming followed the route arranged by Hong Guanghong and arrived at the last logistics warehouse that needed to be controlled.

After controlling this logistics warehouse, he only needed to control the last industrial colony.

When the industrial colony was completed, Chen Ming's initial mission would be over.

The total time spent should be about three and a half days.

The efficiency can be said to be quite exaggerated.

However, just when Chen Ming had just returned to the port and was about to board the spacecraft to the next colony.

Song Pu said to Chen Ming in the special terminal: "Are you free now?"

"I just controlled a warehouse, I'm free, what's the matter?"

"I told you a few days ago, using Cheng Xinghai as bait to set a trap."

Chen Ming subconsciously glanced at Cheng Xinghai, who had asked Chen Ming and Bai Quan about their acquaintance and familiarity in recent days, and had begun to ask Chen Ming about his past.

Then he retracted his gaze and responded on the terminal: "I remember, do you need me to help the general?"

"Yes, just control the fleet over there."

"In fact, I could have waited until you finished running the colony before looking for you, but the recent movements of the other side are a bit strange, I think it's better to arrange some things earlier."

"Also, after you control the fleet, there is no need to stay there, otherwise it may be a bit unexpected to let the real Cheng Xinghai stay there."

"The information of Cheng Xinghai's substitute has been passed to the other side through spies, and it depends on whether they come next."

"It's best if they come, if not, you can just do your job normally."

Song Pu explained everything in one breath, and Chen Ming had nothing to say. He responded and turned around to calculate his mental state.

After confirming that his mental power was enough to do things and did not need time to recover, he started the jump engine.

The destination was set to a front-line military galaxy where Cheng Xinghe was located, which was not far from him now.

After a short jump.

Chen Ming's ruler appeared in a galaxy with three planets.

Chen Ming immediately activated the spacecraft transponder as usual and played a special spacecraft identification code arranged by Song Pu.

This identification code allows him to go directly to any galaxy or any planet, even military galaxies.

Just like now, the patrol teams in the galaxy that were still surrounding his spacecraft turned around and went back after verifying this identification code, and he did whatever he wanted.

However, Chen Ming's purpose this time was very clear, and he directly followed the patrol team that turned around.

He went to the military orbital space station on the orbit of the volcanic planet in the galaxy.

This is a large space station that integrates various military functions. The overall volume is larger than the pirate space station with a city inside, which is enough to dock a large number of spacecraft.

Chen Ming's cruiser is naturally no exception.

It docked smoothly in the port of the space station.

The local supreme commander Cheng Xinghe got the news when Chen Ming just jumped to the galaxy.

When Chen Ming landed at the port of the space station, he was already standing at the port to receive him in person.

When Chen Ming got off the spaceship and came in front of him, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Chen Ming, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

But when Chen Ming held his hand, and Chen Ming's other hand waved beside him and closed the hatch of the cruiser behind him, Cheng Xinghe's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of regret.

It can only be said that Chen Ming now has a general understanding of the situation of Cheng Xinghe and Cheng Xinghai.

So Cheng Xinghe's strange attitude at this moment is still understandable in his opinion.

However, after hearing that Chen Ming's purpose this time was Cheng Xinghe, Cheng Xinghai hid in her room and became autistic.

Chen Ming went to ask her specifically, but she didn't move. It seemed that she didn't want to face Cheng Xinghe at all, for fear of being ridiculed.

Chen Ming ignored her and got off the spaceship alone.

Although Cheng Xinghe felt a little regretful because he didn't see Cheng Xinghai, he didn't forget the business.

It would be a bit troublesome if Cheng Xinghai really came out.

After all, he couldn't be 100% sure whether there would be a hidden spy in such a public occasion.

So Cheng Xinghe did not waste any more time, and hurried to another port of the space station with Chen Ming.

Chen Ming had just landed at the usual port, and the real fleet was not here.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Ming looked at the huge military port that was enlarging outside the shuttle window, and the warships docked in the port, and suddenly thought of a question.

He asked Cheng Xinghe: "It is said that we should set a trap to make the other side jump, so what should we do at that time? What might the other side do?"

"What should we do specifically? That must be to prepare manpower ambush on the space station, and then use the fleet as the last backup."

"Because the government army has obtained the clues of Cheng Xinghai, they must use some means to try to get Cheng Xinghai out of our hands."

"The most convenient and effective one is definitely a spy. No matter whether the spy comes to rescue or assassinate, as long as Cheng Xinghai is not in our hands, it will be fine."

"But if the situation is right, the government army may also take the opportunity to tear up and tear up the contract directly."

"After all, if Cheng Xinghai is here, it means that at least one of us is here too."

Cheng Xinghe pointed at Chen Ming and himself and said, "For example, me, you, or both of us."

"If the government army takes advantage of the opportunity to rise up, if they can win, it is equivalent to exchanging one prisoner for one or even two of our people, which is definitely a win for them."

"From the original four to five to four to three, I feel that they should not miss this opportunity."

"But if they really give up, then there is nothing we can do. We can just treat it as an exercise."

After explaining Chen Ming's problem, Cheng Xinghe added, "By the way, Song Pu asked me to ask you a question, empty Can I control the space station?"

"Yes, and controlling the space station means that I have absolute control over everything in the space station. No spy can think of doing anything on the space station, but this scale..."

Chen Ming pointed to the huge port outside and the space station with such a port and said: "You can only choose between the space station and the fleet within a day."

"Then give priority to the fleet. The fleet is the most important. With your psychic power, I can't imagine how much the fleet's strength will increase. "

Chen Ming accepted Cheng Xinghe's compliment. He smiled and said: "I think you will know in this simulation."

Cheng Xinghe also smiled.

After the shuttle landed, he took Chen Ming to contact these spacecraft belonging to the main fleet of the rebels.

Just as Chen Ming arrived at the space station.

The edge of the armistice zone not too far from the front-line military galaxy where Chen Ming was, a military base inside a military galaxy in the Galo-3 star zone.

One of the people who was on the enemy side with Chen Ming in this simulation, Di Jia, was here.

He and Cheng Xinghe are both prospective graduates of military command, and they have similar positions in the team.

He is in his office at this time, communicating with the commander-in-chief of their team on a special terminal.

"Are you sure you want to go? Both our fleet and the opposing fleet are near me now. If you want to go, it will only take half an hour."

The commander-in-chief replied on the terminal soon: "Of course I will go, not just to rescue Cheng Xinghai."

"You have also seen the information returned by the spies in the past few days. The consumption of key materials of the entire Galo-4 has suddenly doubled or tripled out of thin air, but only four days have passed since the beginning."

Although Di Jia already knew this, she couldn't help asking subconsciously when she heard the information again: "Is this really possible?"

"The referee did not stop the game, so this is possible. Although your mentor and Lieutenant General Bai have conflicts, you'd better not doubt Lieutenant General Bai's character."

Di Jia showed a headache on her face and dared not say a word.

"Try not to get involved in this kind of thing."

The commander-in-chief also knew Di Jia's difficulties, and casually said something to change the topic back and said: "Let's not talk about things outside for now. Anyway, it is Chen Ming's existence that forces us to do this."

"We lost one person at the beginning, and the industrial capacity was completely overtaken in just a few days. In a few days, we will be crushed directly. If we want to win with such a huge disadvantage, we can only give up everything and survive in the face of death."

"Sometimes showing weakness actively, or even actively making yourself weak, is also a necessary step before winning."

Di Jia's face was just The expression that had just had a headache gradually calmed down, and he said: "I know, I will do as you ask."

"Okay, remember to keep watching the terminal these two days and cooperate with your teammates' actions. Do you remember your teammates' tasks?"

"Remember, they will use the spies they planted to try to rescue Cheng Xinghai, and if they can't rescue her, they will directly assassinate her."

"My task is to jump to the opposite side with the fleet when my teammates try, and raid the position where Cheng Xinghe's fleet is deployed."

"Yes."

After responding, the commander-in-chief emphasized again: "You must remember that the spy can investigate the location of Cheng Xinghe's fleet. It means this is definitely a trap, a 100% trap, but we have to step into it. "

"Find a way to come back alive. If you can come back alive, it will be of great benefit to us in the future."

Although the commander-in-chief said so, Di Jia had no confidence in his ability to come back alive. She said, "It's a pity that the soldiers of the government army are too weak. Their morale and faith were completely destroyed after the ceasefire."

"If no one is in charge, I even feel that they are not even worthy of warming up Cheng Xinghe. Surrender or mutiny are possible. If I can command from the rear, at least I won't fall into this situation."

The commander-in-chief The commander was not affected by the natural conditions, and said calmly: "Then this is a problem of background setting."

"But I feel that if we are rebels and the opponent is the government army, we will be directly crushed by several times the number of troops on the front battlefield within half a month."

"Chen Ming's ability can definitely guarantee the overall livelihood of the four star regions under this situation, and even after we are wiped out, the life of the Galo 4 star region will be better."

Di Jia's mind flashed the intelligence that the spy obtained from Galo-4 in recent days. The productivity that grew at a terrifying speed really doesn't seem like something that a person can do.

"Sure enough, the government army is slightly more advantageous to us."

After Di Jia and the commander-in-chief finished communicating, Chen Ming began to control the fleet in Cheng Xinghe's hands.

Another two days passed in a flash.

It was the morning of the sixth day after the simulation began.

Chen Ming had completely controlled the two fleets in Cheng Xinghe's hands.

And his mental strength had almost recovered, and he could start controlling the space station at any time.

But at this moment, Cheng Xinghe suddenly contacted Chen Ming and said, "Unexpected situation, I feel that the other side has begun to move, you retreat first."

Chen Ming, who was about to get off the spacecraft, asked incomprehensibly, "Feeling?"

"Uh... it's just that the intelligence collected from all sides yesterday gave me this... uh... feeling that the storm is coming. I can't say it specifically, but the other side is likely to come soon."

"Okay."

Cheng Xinghe said so, so Chen Ming had nothing to say.

He stopped getting off the ship and directly started the ruler, preparing to jump to the next industrial colony first and wait there for a while.

See if Cheng Xinghe's feeling is reliable.

Just when Chen Ming left the space station and arrived at the next galaxy a few seconds later.

He directly used the rebels' own communication network to pull the other people in the team into the same voice communication channel.

Song Pu's private terminal suddenly received Chen Ming's invitation and was a little unresponsive. He asked Chen Ming: "What's the situation?"

"I pulled a voice discussion group."

"Of course I know you pulled this thing, but will this thing..."

Song Pu was naturally worried about the problem of communication signals being monitored. After all, the rebels' communication network uses superluminal communication base stations located in hyperspace.

Although the possibility of being monitored is not great, it is still possible.

However, Chen Ming was not worried about this and said: "It's okay. I controlled several communication base stations along the way. The things I controlled will not receive any electronic interference at all."

Ignoring electronic interference and signal intrusion, Chen Ming can naturally fully ensure that superluminal communication will not have any problems.

Let the five members of the team keep communication smooth at any time.

It doesn't make much sense at ordinary times. After all, typing on the terminal has the same effect.

However, when it is not convenient to type on the terminal during wartime, the contact information of the basic superluminal communication base station has its uses.

"Okay, then you are doing this thing now, it should be for Cheng Xinghe, right? I just received his message, he is about to start."

Chen Ming did not speak, but everyone understood this.

Time passed by minute by minute.

During this period, everyone was doing their own things.

When three hours had passed since Chen Ming set up the communication channel.

Cheng Xinghe suddenly said in the communication channel: "My space station has been interfered with by the signal, they are coming. I don't care about the things on the space station, I leave it to you."

The teammates responded one by one, and Chen Ming also cheered up.

Then he put the perspective of Cheng Xinghe's fleet in front of him.

Cheng Xinghe has two fleets, one of which has disappeared a day ago.

The other has just assembled and set off from the space station.

Facing the obviously more powerful government fleet that has just appeared at the edge of the galaxy and violated the armistice agreement and has more than 80 cruisers.

Although the gap in strength seems to exist, everyone watching this scene understands that the balance of this battle has tilted towards the rebels from the beginning.

However, Chen Ming's mentality still fluctuates slightly.

After all, this is the first time that Chen Ming does not need to command personally, but only needs to provide psychic value for the fleet.

And now that he has avoided the front line of the battle, he can completely let go and use psychic energy at will to provide terrifying blessings for the soldiers and fleets on the front line.

When the two hostile fleets each entered the range.

A fireworks show with extremely dangerous appearance suddenly appeared in space.

Hundreds of cruisers exchanged fire at the edge of the galaxy, and countless thick laser beams and countless live ammunition weapons that could not be observed by the naked eye in the dark space constantly bombarded the shields of both sides, exchanging the radiation energy of each spacecraft.

As the exchange of fire continued, the shields of the government army gradually began to shake and fluctuate abnormally, and it was obviously close to the edge of radiation overload.

But the shields of the rebels were still as solid as a rock.

As the commander-in-chief of the government army on the battlefield, Di Jia watched this scene with sweat on his forehead.

He originally thought that even if he stepped into the trap, at least in the first wave he would definitely be able to have a good exchange ratio with Cheng Xinghe.

He knew Cheng Xinghe and had fought with him several times. This was the answer he came up with after analyzing the forces of the two sides.

But obviously, he was wrong.

He missed, or underestimated the existence of Chen Ming.

Chen Ming's psychic power is not only used in the logistics industry.

Acting on the spacecraft and providing unimaginable blessings for the spacecraft is the biggest use of Chen Ming's psychic power at the beginning.

And just as the assassin, Di Jia also received an emergency report that a jump wave had appeared behind his fleet.

It was about to bite his tail.

Even though Ogika still has some reserve ships that have not been used, and the frontal battle seems to have just reached its most intense moment.

But everyone watching this scene knew that the rebels would win.

These people naturally include those in the watching channel.

After Ojia's mentor Lou Wei joined the communication channel, two or three hours had passed outside.

The remaining instructors of the prospective graduates who participated in the simulated battle have joined the viewing channel as long as they are free, observing the simulation situation through the perspectives of their respective students.

And this time when Ogika took the initiative to step into the trap, the battle broke out at the most intense moment.

Ojia's mentor Lou Wei suddenly said to Bai Quan in the viewing channel: "Lieutenant General Bai, is Chen Ming's psychic power really that strong?"

"Can't you see?"

"Oh, of course I saw it. His psychic power is so powerful that he can renovate an industrial colony in a sector in less than four days, control hundreds of cruisers and thousands of destroyers and escorts in less than two days, and even continue to control an industrial colony in less than two days. The remaining power is too strong.”

Bai Quan was too lazy to pay attention to him, but Lou Wei was not the only one present, there were others.

So he still said: "You don't have to believe it, but this is what he can do."

Lou Wei asked again: "You mean a person who has been a psychic for less than a year can do these things?"

"You have the ability to say this in front of people from the Psychic Association."

"..."

Lou Wei was silent for a moment, then suddenly snorted coldly and chose to exit the communication channel directly.

No one cared what Lou Wei was doing and continued to focus back on the ongoing simulated battle.

From the students' perspective, Ogika's side still has the possibility of a comeback.

Half an hour passed quickly in the simulation.

This battle can be said to have ended at the speed of light.

The government fleet suffered heavy losses, and only a few remnants escaped.

The only pity is that the flagship on the opposite side successfully retreated.

But it's enough to be called a big victory.

Chen Ming didn't know what happened to the opponent after the battle.

But every word Cheng Xinghe said after the battle felt full of unfinished meaning, with nearly unlimited firepower, shields, and armor.

It made Cheng Xinghe fully understand how Chen Ming overturned him in his hands and how he beat Cheng Xinghai to tears later.

This cheating pleasure made him want to stop.

However, Song Pu didn't tolerate him, and quickly asked him to close the team and not enter the armistice zone for the sake of pursuit, so as to prevent him from being defeated even if he was defeated.

After Cheng Xinghe returned to the space station.

Song Pu also sent a document to each of them through the communication network built by Chen Ming.

This document disclosed all Songpu's arrangements.

Chen Ming could see that Song Pu had made several back-up arrangements for this plan.

Just in case the opponent knows it's a trap and is still prepared to take advantage of it.

But Song Pu obviously didn't expect that the other party would step directly into the trap, as if he was completely unaware.

As a result, his back-up preparations were not used, but all his first-hand preparations were put into practice.

Just when everyone had finished watching, Song Pu said on the communication channel: "In addition to these arrangements in advance, I also did some other things just now."

"I have discovered the spies on the space station in advance and arrested them before they took action. They are currently being interrogated. There are no casualties on the space station."

"I have obtained the record of the battle that just ended and asked others to arrange it. Soon the public opinion will be completely biased in our favor."

"Government forces will have less support."

"Also, there is good news."

Song Pu paused for a moment and said: "The giant shipyard in the Gallo-2 star field was destroyed by the spies I planted and infiltrated just when the battle was happening."

"The battleship was also severely hit, and its weapons and shield systems were completely offline. Although the battleship could not be completely destroyed directly in the giant shipyard, the battleship was forced to leave the giant shipyard in extremely poor combat readiness. Next It definitely took more than a month for repairs when I came back.”

"The threat to us from capital ships no longer exists."

After Song Pu finished speaking, Hong Guanghong suddenly said: "I also have good news. Relying on psychics, so far, the production capacity of our industrial colonies has increased by about four times compared to the beginning, and has surpassed us in productivity. Government troops.”

“Excellent all round.”

Song Pu's tone was obviously a little excited, but he immediately adjusted back and said: "But there is one thing I still have to remind everyone. I noticed the opponent's spacecraft in the battle just now, especially the cruiser."

"Most of them are older models. The government forces should not only have these. So this time they took the initiative to step into the trap and tear up the armistice agreement. It is probably part of their plan."

"We must not relax until we are completely victorious."

When his teammates responded one after another, Song Pu suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I have news here."

"what news?"

Song Pu said in a strange tone: "The government forces accused us of tearing up the armistice agreement and taking the lead in starting the war."
