Chapter 236 Behavior

Bai Quan's thoughts were extremely clear.

He now completely understood that the idea that he once had of winning on the battlefield could only be used on the battlefield.

He was now in the political arena, so he had to change his mindset.

But even if he could let some warships and soldiers on them do almost certain tasks for the sake of victory.

He couldn't do anything to get involved with scum like Zuo Jing for revenge, even now.

But even if he didn't use such despicable means, he could still do something.

With his thinking combined with Chen Ming's approach, when facing external dangers and targeting, he must prioritize preserving himself, that is, preserving his own interests.

His interests were his base.

The 14th Corps branch, his confidants, and Chen Ming.

The 14th Corps branch was his most basic base, there was no doubt about that.

However, the important thing about this base was the framework, not the actual person in it, so Bai Quan didn't need to worry about the destruction of the branch's framework, and in disguise, he didn't need to worry about the unrest within the framework.

The confidants are all the people who followed the old boss all the way, or the trustworthy people he cultivated during the period when he was promoted to major general and then lieutenant general. He can trust these people directly without worrying too much.

Only Chen Ming is different.

The relationship between Chen Ming and him is not too close, and Chen Ming has not clearly expressed a clear attitude until now.

So he must calm Chen Ming's emotions as soon as possible.

Not only because of the friendship between Chen Ming and him, but also because Chen Ming is now someone he needs to rely on to a certain extent.

Even if Chen Ming just sits in the branch, he has helped him a lot, not to mention that Chen Ming is really doing things.

So he must give Chen Ming enough explanations and stabilize Chen Ming.

Stabilize the basic situation, and the rest of the turbulence will not matter.

The turbulence that does not affect the basic situation can be easily eliminated.

Just like the counterattack he tried to do before.

As long as it does not affect the opponent's foundation, it is a completely meaningless means.

So from now on, he has to change the way he does things.

At this time, Bai Quan's depression had completely dissipated, and he had enough time to think calmly.

Bai Quan knew that there were many people targeting him.

It would be extremely difficult to find out who they were one by one, and then retaliate one by one.

So he didn't need to care about who was targeting him and Chen Ming, nor who did it.

He only had to do the simplest thing, which was to put the blame on what had just happened.

Put the pot on someone at random.

It would be best to put the blame on the culprit, but it didn't matter if it was someone else.

Because the most urgent thing next was definitely not him as the victim.

And since he had already caught the left-wing element who finally carried out the mission, wouldn't it be just a matter of one sentence to interrogate something from the left-wing element?

As a lieutenant general, he didn't even need to say it himself, nor did he need to issue any orders like in the army. As long as he expressed similar meanings, there would naturally be people below who would say everything he should say.

And his confidants would definitely do what he wanted to see.

It just so happened that he had just had a conflict with Lou Wei, and Lou Wei had not yet started to verify Chen Ming's psychic power.

So soon, a rumor would spread within the 14th Legion.

Because the cost of the two industrial colonies was too high, and Lou Wei was worried that Chen Ming did not actually cheat, he did not hesitate to get involved with Zuo Jing and sent the cargo ship driver to destroy the dome and waste Chen Ming's time.

He even planned to use the samples of the mechanical race to directly destroy the institute and kill the researchers, which would not only waste Chen Ming's time for repeated research, but also delay the date of the actual test.

The content that Bai Quan interrogated from the arrested Zuo Jing elements also confirmed these contents.

Bai Quan had already conceived the future development in his mind.

Since someone wanted to involve him in Zuo Jing's affairs, he would throw away this big pot that no one dared to take.

This was something he would never do before.

Because if it was him before, he would definitely deal with the disgusting Zuo Jing first, and then follow the clues of the driver to track it down.

Although he would definitely find something in the end, it would not hurt the most important enemy at all.

And now, the matter is not over yet, and the internal investigation has not ended.

This is the moment when the heat of the incident is the highest.

And the gambling agreement after the previous simulated battle has spread throughout the entire 14th Legion in just a few hours.

The heat of the two things combined will definitely be the most lively and eye-catching event in recent times.

No one dares to get involved with Zuo Jing under the watchful eyes of the entire legion at this time.

And after a period of time, this news will spread outside the 14th Legion.

Baiquan doesn't even need to take the initiative to spread this news, because someone will definitely do it.

The 14th Legion is no longer the time when it was just reorganized. The internal factional struggle will definitely make the faction that has conflicts with Lou Wei's faction spread this news.

If this family scandal is leaked, the top few people in the 14th Corps will definitely not sit still.

So should the victim Bai Quan Chenming solve the problem within a time limit?

Or should Lou Wei, who is suspected to be the most likely murderer, solve the problem and find out the real culprit? The answer will be clear.

This is what Bai Quan knew he should do most after thinking it through.

No matter who is acquiescing to Zuo Jing's troubles, no matter who wants to target him, it is enough for him to turn this matter into something beneficial to him.

This is the political thinking.

Bai Quan needs this kind of thinking now, not the battlefield thinking he used to have.

He was too young before, and his thinking was too simple.

The more Bai Quan thought about it, the more he felt like a fool before.

Many people had already taken the initiative to give him opportunities before, but he didn't catch any of them.

But fortunately, it's not too late.

Now the opponent is still taking the initiative to give him opportunities, and he will definitely not let it go.

And it just so happens that Lou Wei was not the only one who made a mistake in the previous Lou Wei incident.

The person who provided Lou Wei with the administrator privileges of the simulation device must also have a certain status. He gave the privileges to someone who shouldn't have been given, which was also problematic.

This is the key point. This is the opportunity for him to seize the opportunity and spread this incident to the top leaders of the other side.

As for the means of getting out of it after blaming others, didn't someone provide him with a sample before?

All he needs is a spy.

The external means have been confirmed, as for the internal ones.

Bai Quan originally wanted to repair it on the basis of the current branch and fix the loopholes and problems.

But now...

Repair?

Repair a fart.

The dam, which has been riddled with holes since its construction, needs not repair, but reconstruction.

He wants to do an internal purge and clear out all the people with problems.

If there are too many losses, it's no big deal to call in new people.

The Galo star field is close to the border, and it is common to encounter some scattered afterglow invasions from time to time. People who live on the border are basically a bit bloody, and there is absolutely no shortage of recruits.

As for the people in administrative positions.

He came out of the 14th Corps to do business, and it is reasonable to transfer people from the headquarters of the 14th Corps.

His old boss would never stop him, and was even very happy to help him choose the right people.

The branch had to undergo a blood transfusion in both the soldiers and the government affairs system.

Bai Quan now understood that his old boss was really afraid that he would have an easy life in the branch, and he definitely allowed others to mix a lot of sand in the initial team of the branch.

The actual hidden sand was definitely several times more than what was exposed during the last intervention in the war zone.

Although his old boss's actions made his life very difficult, after he understood all this, his political progress was absolutely unprecedented.

Bai Quan's eyes gradually became as cold as he was on the battlefield.

The current political arena is his battlefield.

That night.

Chen Ming spent a whole day writing down what he had said in front of a bunch of people.

And he recorded all the memories in his mind during the simulation, including the design blueprint of the giant dock, on the computer.

Then he also sorted out the content of the next repeated research.

After finishing these things and having dinner, Chen Ming called Lu Kang to his office in the Dome Central Laboratory.

In Lu Kang's slightly reserved and fearful eyes, Chen Ming asked him to sit on the sofa next to the coffee table, and he sat opposite him.

"Thank you for recording that video before."

Lu Kang's expression instantly relaxed when he heard this, and said, "It's not hard, I just happened to be there."

"Anyway, you did help me find the problem in advance, so I must reward you here."

"There are many empty laboratories in the laboratory building now. I can assign you a permanent laboratory. You can choose one that you like when the time comes."

"Then I saw in your video that you are interested in the Purgatory Core, right? I can also help you apply for one."

"There will also be a bonus of 500,000."

The amount is not much, but it is enough for Lu Kang's salary for about half a year.

Lu Kang's face also showed uncontrollable joy.

However, Chen Ming suddenly said in a serious tone: "But there is one thing I need to make clear to you."

Lu Kang was a little worried again; "You tell me."

"Remember to clean up the garbage on the rooftop yourself. The cleaning staff may not go up there every day, so don't make it too messy."

Lu Kang breathed a sigh of relief again and said firmly: "I know, I will clean it up."

"Okay, go ahead. The bonus will be deposited into your card tomorrow. Remember to go to the warehouse to get your Purgatory Core in a few days. Remember to apply for a special experimental site when you actually test the core."

Chen Ming's detailed concern made Lu Kang a little flattered.

He said he knew it repeatedly, and then said goodbye and left.

Just as Lu Kang left, Chen Ming was ready to start doing some research now.

Bai Quan suddenly opened the door of his office.

Chen Ming immediately took a cup and poured a cup of tea for Bai Quan. At the same time, he noticed that Bai Quan looked very calm, and there was no depression between his eyebrows during the day.

When he handed the tea to Bai Quan, he took the opportunity to ask: "You seem to be more relaxed?"

Bai Quan took the tea and blew it slightly, took a sip of wine slowly, and said calmly: "Well, I figured out some things during the day, thank you very much."

Chen Ming was a little unresponsive for a while, and asked: "Thank me?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Bai Quan didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, Chen Ming didn't care.

Bai Quan became like this most likely because he had an idea about what happened during the day, which is not a bad thing.

But Chen Ming still had to ask: "So you are here now because you have a clue about what happened during the day?"

"I have a clue, and I have also thought about how to deal with this matter. I will make them pay enough."

"But I came here mainly to send you something."

When Bai Quan came in, Chen Ming noticed that Bai Quan was carrying a small bag.

When Chen Ming looked at the small bag, Bai Quan also put the bag on the table and opened it to reveal a square metal box inside.

Bai Quan reached out and touched the metal and the round button-like thing on the top. The outer shell of the box opened automatically, presenting the contents inside to Chen Ming like a pedestal.

This is an irregular shape, looks like some kind of mechanical creation, but the overall appearance is a bit weird.

The overall shape is somewhat similar to the Purgatory Core, but it has multiple strange flat cylindrical protrusions.

The angle and length of the protrusions are not large, so it is not too disgusting.

It just looks a bit special.

It is so special that Chen Ming knows what this thing is at a glance.

Bai Quan also said immediately: "This is the synchrotron core. Because it was delivered early, I sent it to you directly."

Chen Ming reached out and pressed on the synchrotron core, and a panel that was as simple as the one he opened when he opened the Purgatory Core panel jumped out.

It can even be said that except for the seven words [Synchrotron Core] on the name, the panel is almost useless.

Fortunately, Chen Ming can still open the three-dimensional imaging of the synchrotron core through the panel.

However, just like when he touched the Purgatory Core, the three-dimensional imaging is almost incomprehensible.

But as long as he is given time, he will probably be able to figure out the function of this core.

Chen Ming put the synchrotron core aside and looked at the small bag on the table that was still bulging.

"What else is inside?"

Bai Quan reached out and took out a colorful spherical object.

Chen Ming's eyes were instantly attracted and asked, "What is this?"

"The egg of the Aurora Wind Spirit, the pet you wanted some time ago."

Chen Ming recalled a little, remembered what happened some time ago, shook his head slightly and said, "I almost forgot it."

"But I still remember."

Bai Quan handed the egg of the Aurora Wind Spirit to Chen Ming and said, "The approval of this thing is even more troublesome than the synchrotron core, but it just arrived now."

After speaking, he picked up the small bag and shook it twice, pouring out a dozen small medicine bottles, all of which had weak spiritual energy fluctuations.

Then he sent a file to Chen Ming on the terminal.

The content of the file was a list of medicines.

"These are the medicines for psychics that I told you about."

Chen Ming put the egg aside again and moved closer with great interest.

Bai Quan picked up a bottle of medicine and said, "For example, this is a healing medicine for mental trauma caused by excessive use of mental power."

"Then this is a healing medicine for people whose brains are damaged by mental shock."

"And this one is used to stimulate mental power and improve the effect of psychic power in a short period of time. It is a stimulant drug for psychics."

"In addition, there is this spray, a nasal medicine, which stimulates the cerebral cortex and nerves to speed up the transmission of neural electrical signals. It is also a stimulant drug."

Bai Quan pushed most of the bottles of medicine he had poured out together: "These are all medicines for special circumstances."

Then he pointed to the remaining bottles of medicine and said, "The rest are all auxiliary medicines that help stabilize emotions and improve the quality of meditation."

"But I feel that these things are useless to you. Your talent is already better than many people who take drugs."

Chen Ming didn't say anything and checked these medicines and their instructions one by one.

He was still very interested in these things.

Even if he really didn't need to rely on external forces to train his psychic power, the value of these things was there.

What's more, he was not the only one with psychic power around him.

The Queen of Insects and Xiao Shi both had psychic power.

They might be able to rely on these drugs to do things that they couldn't do before.

Chen Ming was still very optimistic about the possibility of the Queen of Insects' psychic power continuing to develop.

Just when Chen Ming was thinking about whether these drugs should be supplied to the Queen of Insects first and let it try to replicate.

Bai Quan suddenly took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ming.

"And this thing."

Chen Ming took it and found that it was a savings card.

Then he raised his head and looked at Bai Quan with some doubts.

"This is what I give you. It is considered as compensation for the troubles you have encountered during this period. It is not much, just one billion."

"I originally wanted to give you something else, but I didn't know what you needed, so in the end I could only give you some money."

Chen Ming turned the savings card around in his hand and put it away.

"Thanks, but you've encountered more trouble and losses these days than me, right?"

When Bai Quan saw Chen Ming accept the money and asked him this question in turn, it basically confirmed that Chen Ming's current mentality was relatively stable and there was no sign of anger because of what he had experienced these days.

It seems that nothing will happen to Chen Ming's basic base.

So when Bai Quan answered Chen Ming's question, he just smiled and said, "The trouble I encountered was expected. The trouble you encountered was an unforeseen disaster, and the compensation you deserve must be indispensable."

With that said, he didn't want to dwell on the issue of compensation anymore, so he directly took out a test report that looked like it had just been printed and placed it in front of Chen Ming.

Chen Ming looked at it and saw that this test report seemed to be a test report on the driver's physical condition during the day.

I can only say that I am very healthy and in good physical condition.

But this is obviously the biggest problem.

Chen Ming's face showed a slight embarrassment. The insect queen seemed to have gone a little too far when cleaning the driver's stimulants.

Bai Quan said as if he didn't see the embarrassment on Chen Ming's face: "Let me ask you something, what did you inject into the driver?"

"After that dose of DP-2 was injected, I asked several doctors and they all said he would die. It should be that you injected something into him that saved his life."

Fortunately, Chen Baiming had already thought of an excuse the day before and said, "Yes, I injected him with the antidote I bought from the black market before. I don't know if it worked, but I didn't have anything else at the time." You have the medicine in hand, just use it first.”

Everyone can tell that Chen Ming is talking nonsense, but everyone has their own secrets, and Chen Ming definitely has more than one secret.

So Bai Quan didn't hesitate at all, and just asked: "Will this medicine have any side effects?"

"I don't think so."

Bai Quan received the answer, nodded and put away the inspection report.

"Then it is certain that the driver's amnesia is not a physical problem, but a mental problem. This is quite important news."

Bai Quan thought for a while and suddenly said to Chen Ming: "How about I tell you my future plans and plans."

Chen Ming did not agree, but asked: "Why do I have the feeling that you are explaining the aftermath? Once the plan fails and you die, just wait for me to avenge you."

"I'm not going to die that easily. It's just that I figured out something today and I think it's best to tell you in advance when I'm doing something related to you."

Chen Ming was still a little confused. He couldn't understand why Baiquan changed so much at night and during the day.

"Just do it. Why are you telling me? Others are targeting the two of us. We are now grasshoppers on a rope. I'm still afraid that you will harm me?"

"All right."

Bai Quan nodded slightly and stood up as if he was ready to leave.

But after he turned his head, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Judging from Chen Ming's current performance, he has indeed been given a lot of trust, and joining the Fourteenth Army should be a certainty.

Then he just needs to do what he needs to do.

But Chen Ming was still confused when he saw Bai Quan getting up and leaving.

He still didn't understand what Bai Quan meant by some of the words he just said.

Chen Ming could tell that Bai Quan had other ideas besides giving away things today, but Chen Ming didn't see what he wanted to do specifically.

But it shouldn't be a bad thing anyway.

Just like what he said just now, he and Bai Quan are now grasshoppers on a rope.

He just needs to keep doing his own thing.

Do research and find ways to make some extra money during the war.

Then if you have the chance, find a way to kill the left path.

If we can investigate who allowed Zuo Jing to do what he did, we will find a way to kill him.

Chen Ming was really disgusted by what Zuo Jing did during the day. This was a behavior that truly exceeded his bottom line. He had to take care of this matter himself.

Just when Chen Ming lowered his head and was about to sort out the things Bai Quan had brought over and write them down to continue doing other things.

Bai Quan suddenly stopped at the door of Chen Ming's office. He turned back and said to Chen Ming: "I receive a report every day that someone specially compiles for me. Do you need me to give you one every day?"

Chen Ming suddenly stopped moving his hands on several things on the table and asked, "Is this something I can see?"

"right."

Although Chen Ming still didn't understand why Bai Quan did this, he still said: "Then I want it."

"Okay, I will teach you as usual tomorrow and review the advantages and disadvantages of everyone's actions on the previous big battlefield."
