Chapter 233 DP-2

A dozen minutes later.

In the staff cafeteria of the simulation equipment dome.

Chen Ming was eating breakfast and thinking about what had just happened. He also chatted with Bai Quan who was typing something on the terminal next to him.

The simulation battle was over. After he dealt with the things left over from the simulation, it was almost time to do the real work.

There were still a lot of things to be done slowly for the research institute and the mechanical race.

But just when he was thinking about whether Lou Wei would do something disgusting in the industrial colony and was a little distracted.

Bai Quan suddenly stopped moving his hands on the terminal, raised his head and asked Chen Ming: "What do you think?"

"What what idea?"

"It's the data you got in the simulation."

Chen Ming looked at Bai Quan with some surprise, and said without hiding anything: "They are all very good, and they are all things I need now. It's a pity that I only wrote down a part of them, and I won't have the chance to get the rest."

"In fact, there is still a chance. You can start the next simulation that requires deep consciousness infiltration in a month."

"Oh?"

Bai Quan's meaning is a little clear. It seems that he knows what Chen Ming needs most now.

Then Chen Ming will definitely not refuse Bai Quan's kindness.

There is just one question that Chen Ming needs to clarify: "So the limit of deep consciousness infiltration is only one month?"

Cheng Xinghai only said this before, and did not explain more about other details of deep consciousness infiltration, so Chen Ming feels it is better to ask now.

However, Bai Quan didn't have much to say. After thinking about Chen Ming's question, he said, "Basically, this is the limit. If there are other limits, it is that some drugs or equipment that may speed up people's thinking speed should not be used before entering deep consciousness."

"Uh..."

Chen Ming immediately thought of the various devices that he often used from Yu Hui, and Yu Hui also got from another civilization that amplified mental power and psychic energy. These things seemed to be within the limits that Bai Quan mentioned.

Moreover, Chen Ming also had a passive hive mind network that accelerated thinking.

Other equipment can be stopped before participating in the simulated battle, but the hive mind network cannot be disconnected.

Chen Ming quickly asked again: "What are the consequences of using these things?"

"It is said that it will increase the possibility of addiction and make people more likely to indulge in accelerated thinking, which is a bit similar to smoking and Internet addiction."

"But the consequences will be more serious. Long-term deep consciousness will cause the brain to be unable to rest for a long time and cause major problems. So if you can't control this feeling, it will not be a problem that can be solved by a one-month restriction. In serious cases, you will have to force withdrawal again."

"But those who do these things only say that suspicion will increase the probability, not that they are 100% sure, but generally speaking, don't use them if you can."

"Oh, so."

That's good. Chen Ming thinks that his willpower is still very impressive.

As long as it is not like various stimulants that cause irreversible physiological effects, Chen Ming can overcome psychological problems by himself.

If it is just similar to smoking and Internet addiction, then there is no big problem.

And he has already finished a simulation and nothing happened, so it should be fine.

If it really doesn't work, he will be a little more careful when he simulates next time, and disconnect the prosthesis directly if he encounters any unexpected situation.

And if there is no special situation in the next simulation, then it can be basically confirmed that he will have no problem even if he has the extra thinking speed blessing.

Chen Ming felt a little relieved, and suddenly realized that Bai Quan seemed to have said something special: "I know a lot of devices that accelerate thinking speed that you just mentioned, but drugs that accelerate thinking?"

"Drugs are much more common than devices."

Bai Quan said, and took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Like this, it's what I call a drug that accelerates thinking."

"In the past, there was a psychic pharmacist who proposed the concept of a drug that accelerates thinking based on the device that the empire obtained from that civilization."

"He followed his idea and started researching from military stimulants that were closest to his idea. He derived scientific research stimulants for various researchers, and then this stimulant continued to derive stimulants that can be used in some civilian positions."

Chen Ming picked up the transparent bottle and looked at the white pills inside. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are its side effects?"

"Eat more every day."

Chen Ming glanced at the breakfast in front of Bai Quan. From the perspective of quantity, it was indeed much more than his.

But now it is compared with his prosthesis. The food consumption of his original body is even more than what Bai Quan eats now.

This is indeed an inevitable situation caused by the increase in human energy consumption due to accelerated thinking.

Chen Ming nodded slightly, but did not see Bai Quan continue to speak.

"That's it? That's all?"

"Yes, that's all. The one I used is probably the latest civilian stimulant developed."

"Compared to military drugs, the stimulants used for scientific research and civilian use are inherently milder."

"In addition, the drug acts on the nerves and brain, so it cannot be strong, so the side effects are of course minimal."

"With current medical technology, one pill can solve all side effects, so this medicine will have no side effects."

Stimulants used in scientific research can speed up thinking, and thinking is closely related to the brain and consciousness.

Chen Ming immediately thought of the development prospects of this drug.

He put down the small medicine bottle, pushed it in front of Bai Quan, lit the bottle cap and asked: "In that case, what is the effect of this thing on psykers? What are the side effects?"

Bai Quan opened the lid of the medicine, took out a pill and said, "Let's put it this way, this medicine is very effective for ordinary people like us, but for you psychics, the effect is still a bit weak."

"So one of the hot topics in research on psyker drugs right now is drugs that increase the speed of thinking."

"Have I told you before that you want the doctor to get you a drug list? I will give it to you tomorrow. If you look at it for yourself, you can probably figure out the difference between psyker drugs and ordinary people's drugs in terms of thinking. The difference.”

"OK."

After receiving Chen Ming's response, Bai Quan directly stuffed the medicine he had just taken out into his mouth and continued to deal with the breakfast in front of him. It seemed that he had no intention of continuing to talk for the time being.

Chen Ming took the initiative to bring up the topic and asked, "What will happen to Lou Wei in the future?"

"There is a supervisory department within the Fourteenth Army. I have just submitted evidence to them. Now it is estimated that Lou has been controlled by the supervisor."

"But he can also contact other people and ask the people behind him to help fish him out. He will not be beaten to the end. People will definitely still be able to see him."

"Once the punishment process that he should go through is completed and the site for the colony is selected, we can prepare for subsequent verification."

"Are you okay over there in the colony?"

Chen Ming showed a relieved expression and said: "How can I have a problem with something that is purely beneficial to me?"

"That's good."

When Bai Quan saw this, he didn't ask any more questions and talked about another thing.

"The subsequent compensation plan for the research results you lost in the simulation will have to wait. We have to find professionals to define your losses."

"I guess you should be required to provide some initial content of your research to those people. These people will sign confidentiality agreements and will not leak your research results."

"But because the simulated data is now gone, you have to prepare those data again now."

Chen Ming immediately agreed: "It will definitely be no problem to prepare the data again, but what if Lou Wei delays for a while and says that these are all newly obtained data?"

Bai Quan did not answer, but suddenly asked another question: "Did Xinghai tell you something?"

Chen Ming thought about what Cheng Xinghai said to him just now, and responded: "Yes, she said that part of my data may be recovered."

"It is this recoverable part that can help you prove that you have done these studies. As long as you have done it, you must compensate according to the value of the research and the delay."

"The only issue now is that the recovery time may be uncertain."

Chen Ming immediately grasped the crux of the problem and asked: "What if the data cannot be recovered? I can't just say what I say, right?"

"Of course not."

Bai Quan also immediately denied Chen Ming's idea and said: "But as you just said, if the time to restore the data exceeds the time to re-experiment and get the results, you may even have time to get a new one." As a result, there is no point in recovering the data.”

"So, if the data cannot be repaired within a short period of time, then under normal circumstances, this kind of data-level loss will give the institute that lost the data a deadline according to the original time, and restart the research, and it will be given to you according to the progress in the simulation. Twenty-four days.”

"No matter how many new research results you come up with in the past twenty-four days, they can all be included in the lost data and be considered part of the compensation."

"After all, time is also very valuable."

"For example, let's take antimatter technology."

"Suppose that in the last period of time when Sinda Company was researching anti-matter technology, there was a delay of twenty-four days due to internal mistakes, and then during these twenty-four days, other companies and forces developed anti-matter technology and obtained the rights to this technology. major."

"What do you think will happen inside Xinda Company?"

Chen Ming said without thinking: "Even someone's head can't be saved."

"That's what I mean, so I have to find a professional to estimate the exact amount of compensation. It won't cost people their heads, and it won't cause heavy losses to those who lost their time."

"Of course, your subsequent research results will be calculated according to the situation in the simulation. Things that cannot be done in the simulation will not be counted for you. Only those experiments that can be carried out in the simulation will be counted."

Chen Ming thought for a moment about the loss estimation plan mentioned by Bai Quan, and said: "Even this is an exaggeration. The basis of many research experiments is simulation. What you say now makes me a little bit worried that the data can be repaired." ”

"Whether the data can be repaired mainly depends on luck. If the data cannot be repaired well, this method can be used."

Chen Ming suddenly sensed Bai Quan's hidden meaning from this sentence and said, "It mainly depends on luck. What should I look at that time?"

"I don't know either."

After Bai Quan finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ming, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

"The data should be repaired, but you can't guarantee that the data will be repaired soon, so start your research first. Even if the data is repaired later, you don't have to spit it out. "

"At that time, we should find half of the people and Lou Wei will find the other half to estimate your final loss and delay."

"The compensation for scientific research funds that Lou Wei mentioned earlier is only the basis, and the bulk of it lies in your research results."

"It's just that the compensation may not be too much for you."

Although Bai Quan said this, Chen Ming didn't feel this way.

After all, the liquidity he has on hand now is less than 20 billion. If Lou Wei can get all the billion he promised just now, it will be equivalent to directly increasing the money on hand by 5%, which is quite a lot.

"No amount of money is too much, no amount of money is too little, just arrange it."

Chen Ming responded casually.

Anyway, although these things were his losses, he really didn't know how to compensate for them.

After all, what's here is just Chen Ming's prosthesis, and many things must be done according to the rules of the Fourteenth Legion.

So he can just listen to these matters now, and Bai Quan will definitely arrange things while taking his interests into consideration.

Bai Quan had no objection to this and said, "Okay, the synchrotron core I got earlier should arrive tomorrow. I will give you the core together with the doctor's list then. If you need anything in terms of research, remember to contact me."

"After the compensation for scientific research funds and the compensation for research content are completed, the colony should be left. At that time, I may have to trouble you to go out for a trip."

"Let's wait for it to be done over there. I guess a few days should be enough. If it's not enough, I'll hurry up."

Bai Quan thought for a moment and realized that there was nothing urgent that he needed to explain to Chen Ming first. He suddenly mentioned something else: "Speaking of which, I feel that your mood swings were a bit violent today. You usually seem to be a very calm person."

Chen Ming explained: "It doesn't matter whether I'm calm or violent. What's important is that Lou Wei believes that although I look calm on the surface, I'm already anxious inside."

"He doesn't know me and doesn't know what I'm like on a normal day. He can't just see me in the simulation for more than 20 days, right? That's too perverted."

"So without knowing my usual attitude, as long as I suddenly show a loophole when he is blank because I question him, he will definitely seize on this seemingly loophole."

"The result is what it is now. He fell into the trap. Of course, there was also the reason why he preconceived that I was cheating."

"I feel that he should have some psychological quality, and his expression will not change when he lies, but he is a little bit awkward when he comes into contact with areas he doesn't know."

"When people panic and their heads twitch, it's bad."

Chen Ming's lucid analysis to Lou Wei made Bai Quan somewhat surprised and asked: "Have you ever studied psychology?"

"That's not true. It's just some experience I learned from my boss."

"Wu An..."

Bai Quan briefly recalled what he knew about Wu An, and suddenly remembered that Wu An seemed to have graduated from a psychology major, and his psychic abilities were also related to this aspect.

Then it is normal for Chen Ming brought out by Wu An to have some skills in this area.

Bai Quan didn't ask any more questions. After continuing to chat with Chen Ming for a while, he suddenly finished his breakfast and hurriedly left the cafeteria in advance with the terminal.

Chen Ming also left the canteen soon after and boarded the shuttle boat docked at the edge of the dome.

He should be able to do something else this morning.

The accelerated thinking last night caused his prosthesis and body to stay up all night together, making it difficult to concentrate.

It just so happened that Baiquan had to write a lot of reports on this matter, and there was a high probability that he wouldn't be able to spare the time, so he simply stopped going to class in the morning and prepared for what he was going to do next.

While thinking about what to do next, Chen Ming boarded the shuttle boat, took off, and headed for his dome.

Ten minutes later.

The general appearance of the research institute's dome appeared in front of Chen Ming in a cloud of volcanic ash.

At this moment, Chen Ming, who was still a little confused, suddenly became energetic.

Because not far away, there was a deportation-class cargo ship traveling in the air, flying toward his dome with a look of drunkenness.

Looking at the sign on the outside of the spaceship, it is a cargo spacecraft that transports the individual materials of the machine race that Chen Ming needs.

Chen Ming instantly thought of a possibility.

His eyes flickered, his face darkened, and he immediately sent the video of the shuttle boat recorder to Bai Quan.

At the same time, he turned on the communication equipment of the shuttle boat and sent a communication request to the spacecraft in front that would hit the dome in less than half a minute.

However, just as he expected, there was no response to the communication.

Although this deportation-class cargo ship has a streamlined operating system, there are usually only about ten people on board to drive it.

But Chen Ming knew very well how unlikely it was for ten people to drink too much together, so something must have happened on the ship.

Chen Ming took a deep breath, and the metallic liquid overflowed from the void around him, surging and wrapping around Chen Ming, condensing a locust powered armor on his body.

At the same time, the shuttle was also overloaded in an instant, and the engine burst out several times the speed and rushed towards the destroyer-class cargo ship.

Under Chen Ming's control, the shuttle deftly crossed an arc and directly hit the armor on the top of the cargo ship.

Chen Ming endured the impact and jumped out of the shuttle, landed on the top of the spaceship, reached out and touched the spaceship armor, and instantly took over the cargo spaceship.

After controlling the spaceship to slow down and hover, the top armor of the spaceship suddenly rippled like the surface of the water, and Chen Ming sank directly into it and landed in the cabin of the cargo ship.

The door of the cabin was closed, and the communication request access signal was constantly ringing in front of the console.

In front of the console, there was only one person sitting here.

His trembling hands instinctively held the joystick, but his whole face was full of intoxicated expressions, as if he had just experienced something pleasant.

This is why the spaceship was flying crookedly just now.

Second, Chen Ming had seen similar situations in several documents he had read before.

He frowned and stepped forward, pulling open the driver's eyelids. He could see that the driver's pupils were slightly dilated and covered with dense bloodshot.

And the ends of the bloodshot in these eyeballs all had an unpleasant light pink color.

"Sure enough, it was smoking... No, it was injecting banned drugs."

Chen Ming glanced at the ground next to him, where there were four or five syringes with pink liquid remaining.

Chen Ming had seen this kind of thing more than once. This was a stimulant codenamed DP-2 within the military, which was extremely addictive.

The driver was injected with this, which caused him to look disgusting now.

And if Chen Ming didn't take over, then this destroyer-level cargo ship would definitely crash into the dome, causing huge losses.

Even if Chen Ming could react in the first time and protect all the personnel, the loss of equipment would definitely not be small.

Although this seemed to be an accident caused by the driver, a drug addict, who suddenly became ill and injected an excessive amount of stimulants while working.

But with this dose of stimulants, Chen Ming would believe that it was a premeditated suicide.

So this is another targeted plan.

Chen Ming sighed. He really didn't understand why someone had to disgust him.

He thought that he didn't seem to have provoked many people in total, right?

Only in Zuo Jing's case, he took the initiative to destroy Zuo Jing's plan and was hated.

But in other cases, others took the initiative to provoke him.

Chen Ming sighed and turned his eyes to the driver again.

Then Chen Ming noticed that the driver's breathing was gradually becoming weaker, as if he was overdosed on stimulants and he was about to die.

At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly thought of another thing.

Did this driver take the initiative to inject these stimulants, or was it passive?

Active or passive?

If it was active, there was nothing to say, just a dead man sent by someone unknown.

But if it was passive...

Then he couldn't die yet.

Chen Ming immediately dragged the driver down from the seat, laid him flat on the ground, and tore off the work clothes on his arm.

Several fresh needle holes on the driver's right arm appeared in front of him.

As Chen Ming continued to check, he did not find any other traces of doping.

In other words, this could even be the first time the driver used doping.

It is very likely that he was passively made like this.

Then Chen Ming had to treat him even more.

But Chen Ming glanced at the warehouse and various cabins of the cargo ship, and there was nothing that could be used to treat this situation urgently.

He could only rely on one thing to treat the driver now.

Zerg technology.
