Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 245 Public Opinion

When Chen Ming put the bone sword on the table.

The boss recognized the essence of this thing at a glance and said: "A spiritual weapon made of psychic biological materials, confiscated?"

"Well, I found that if I carry two psychic weapons at the same time, I will have an uncomfortable feeling. The source is my weapon. I don't know what the situation is, so I came to ask you."

The boss reassured Chen Ming and said, "This is a conflict in the nature of psychic weapons. It's a normal thing. Don't worry."

"Generally speaking, only weapons made of materials with the same or very similar properties can be used together."

"Because when you use a psionic weapon, while your own psionic energy is amplified, it will also be tainted with some of the properties of the psionic weapon material."

"So when using a second weapon, the different properties of the two psychic weapons will cause your psychic energy to be disordered, so that's it. Generally, just prepare one psychic weapon."

"Use whatever weapon you have in hand that works best for you. You should have to change it in the future."

"This sword doesn't seem to be suitable for you. The one Baiquan gave you is no longer suitable for you now. The material properties are not good enough. You must choose better materials."

"Speaking of this, you haven't gotten any psychic equipment yet, have you?"

Chen Ming asked: "What type of psychic equipment?"

The boss pointed to his own body and said, "Just the clothes, armor and so on."

"Indeed, no, but using psychic materials to make such a thing? Isn't it too luxurious?"

"I don't think it's a luxury for you, it's just that you didn't expect to be able to do this."

The boss's words were basically a clear statement, and Chen Ming immediately thought of Yan Xiong again.

"It really is."

Chen Ming remembered that all the psychic metal materials made by Yan Xiong would be contaminated with his psychic properties, a property that was a bit close to "arrogance".

He and Chen Ming didn't get along well, and Chen Ming was a little busy recently, so he always left Yan Xiong to Chaofan to deal with, and didn't pay much attention to it.

But now I think about it, even if Yan Xiong's psychic properties are not compatible with him, there seems to be no problem if he just uses it once.

Now he is only Yan Xiong who can produce psychic materials of the same nature, so he really can't ask for too much.

Besides, although Yan Xiong only produces psychic metal, and metal is not convenient for making clothes for daily wear, there is still no problem in making some body armor. Even going a little further, Chen Ming can use these materials to make power armor. .

The volume of power armor can be much larger than that of psionic weapons. With the same strength of psionic weapons, the size will obviously determine the final increase obtained by the psyker.

Although the manufacturing cost of psionic power armor is definitely higher than that of psionic weapons, the effects will definitely be more exaggerated.

There is indeed nothing wrong with this idea.

Chen Ming felt that he could give the prosthesis a piece of psionic power armor the next time it was needed.

Biological armor actually contains some metal materials, so you can try it if you have the chance.

Speaking of which, Chen Ming thought of one more thing.

Since he can produce a complete set of psychic power armor made entirely of psychic materials with the same properties, even all metal materials of different types can have the same properties.

So even if this kind of thing is not very compatible with other psychics, the effect alone should interest many people, right?

Chen Ming happened to remember that Bai Quan had said before that there were indeed people who specifically collected things that psykers could use and put them on the psyker contribution platform for others to redeem.

So if you take out this kind of psychic power armor, you should be able to get a lot of contribution points, right?

Either selling raw materials directly or selling finished products made from raw materials, just think about it and you will know which one is more profitable.

Even if there is a complicated process behind this, and there is no way to directly exchange power armor for contribution points, Chen Ming can still try to trade directly with other psykers.

Use their contribution points to help redeem what he needs.

Anyway, he is considered an insider now, so there should be no problem in exchanging these things internally.

It's just that it's more troublesome for other people to wear power armor, unlike him who can just make it directly on their bodies.

If someone really feels that power armor is inconvenient, he can also provide ordinary psychic weapons with the same properties as power armor to match the power armor, so that they will not have no combat effectiveness at all if they cannot wear power armor.

If that didn't work, Chen Ming could even modify the design to make the power armor wearable as quickly as possible.

Maybe by selling this, he could get the seeds of the Spiritual Enlightenment Nerve and the Fairy Spirit Tree in advance.

Otherwise, he will have to wait at least until the contribution points of the Purgatory Core in half a month and the contribution points of the Synchrotron Core in one and a half months before he can replace the Spiritual Enlightenment Nerve that he needs now.

This should be a good idea, but there is no rush now.

Now Chen Ming just thought about it briefly and did not continue to think deeply.

After all, the boss is still chatting with him.

Chen Ming pulled back his divergent thoughts and asked what his boss had just said: "So what happened to the armor made of psychic materials?"

"Nothing, just remember to use materials of the same nature when making different parts of the armor."

"Remember, it must not be made from materials of different properties, not even remotely."

"This is different from the requirement of using two different weapons at the same time. Weapons can be used with a little deviation, but armor is definitely not."

"Don't combine several materials with different psychic properties together, especially don't let them come into contact with the human body, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "So what will happen if you do this?"

"It's hard to tell you for now. This involves more in-depth aspects related to psychic power. You will understand it when your psychic power develops to a certain level in the future."

"Okay."

Although he didn't ask what the consequences would be, Chen Ming did remember the boss's warning.

After all, if he could make the boss so serious, then the consequences would definitely not be what he wanted to see.

After digesting what the boss said for a while, Chen Ming suddenly asked again: "If you want to use weapons and armor together, do they also need to have the same properties?"

"Yes, but I think you should be able to meet this condition."

"Indeed, then I have basically no problem with these."

Chen Ming ended the topic he had just brought up and turned to another matter: "Boss, do you have any news about Hu Yi?"

"Hu Yi? You want to make trouble for him, right? If I have any news, I will inform you later."

"Thank you, boss, there is nothing else for the time being."

"Okay, you go and get busy. If you don't understand anything, ask me."

Chen Ming thanked again and ended the communication.

Wu An also put down the terminal.

However, Hu Yi next to him didn't understand what Wu An had just said, and asked: "Chen Ming is so rich? Can he also equip a full set of psychic armor?"

Wu An looked at Hu Yi strangely, shook his head and said nothing.

"?"

While Hu Yi was puzzled.

Chen Ming also put down the terminal, thinking about how to use his two psychic weapons.

In fact, he can have one weapon for the body and one for the prosthesis, but the body can also benefit from the psychic weapons around the prosthesis, so he is not sure whether this is reliable.

It is not clear whether there will be conflicts between the prosthesis and the body holding psychic weapons separately.

If there is, only one of the two weapons can be chosen, but if not, then this matter is interesting.

However, this idea is a bit metaphysical, and Chen Ming does not intend to consider it now.

Now let's consider the distribution of the two psychic weapons.

He actually prefers to let the prosthesis carry this bone sword, after all, the prosthesis needs to face more dangers.

A long sword with special properties made of pure psychic materials, and a psychic revolver used purely as a buff machine, which one to choose for the dangerous one is actually needless to say.

But if Chen Ming changes the weapon for the prosthesis, Baiquan, who gave him the revolver, will definitely see it.

This is a bit embarrassing for Baiquan, so how can he make a replica for the prosthesis later?

Just as Chen Ming was thinking about these questions, there was a knock on the door of his room.

Bai Quan pushed the door open and walked in and said, "Okay, I have spread the news that we were attacked, and I have arranged people to do something."

"That Black Mist Psychic, I am talking about you killing him, so as to avoid more troubles, just ask him directly when the time comes."

"By the way, you haven't repaired your spaceship yet, right?"

Chen Ming shook his head.

Because the Black Mist Psychic came directly to him, and his room was at the edge of the spaceship.

Using crew quarters as ship armor has always been a fine tradition of the navy, and the space navy is also the navy.

So in the battle just now, the edges of the spaceship were basically destroyed, which did not affect the use of the spaceship itself, so Chen Ming was not in a hurry to repair it.

And it happened that a new psychic came to the habitable planet behind and was filmed by the surveillance.

Chen Ming's attention was immediately focused on that side, and the spaceship was naturally still the same.

Bai Quan nodded slightly and said, "That's good. Let's keep it like this. We have to go to the nearest star system with spacecraft equipment to do a damage assessment."

"Hurry up, it's best to get it within a day, otherwise it seems that the psychic fluctuations will dissipate, and some evidence will be more difficult to preserve."

"Is there such a place?"

"If a psychic commits a crime and can't find a department to deal with it, it won't work. Generally speaking, there is at least one in a star region."

"I understand, but there is actually one in a star region?"

"Yes, although the probability of psychics awakening is not high, there will definitely be a lot of them under the current population base of the empire. One in a star region is almost enough."

"You don't see many psychics on a daily basis. One reason is that the empire has a large territory, and the other is that which psychic likes to run to the edge star region? Isn't the prosperous star region good?"

"You are an exception. After all, you awakened in the edge star region, and your psychic power also requires you to stay in such a place."

"What about the boss?"

"Wu An is also an exception. His situation... is more complicated."

Bai Quan looked like he didn't want to say more, so Chen Ming didn't ask more.

He had actually asked the boss why he came to such a place before, but the boss seemed unwilling to say more.

There must be some story behind this, and Bai Quan was also involved.

Since both parties did not want to talk, Chen Ming would definitely not take the initiative to touch this bad luck.

"Where are the coordinates of the place you mentioned?"

Bai Quan opened the terminal and pointed to a location on the star map to Chen Ming and said, "Here.

Chen Ming looked at the star map and asked, "Military district?"

"Of course it's the military district. It doesn't matter. I've already informed them in advance. Just go there directly."

"Okay. "

Chen Ming didn't waste any words. After confirming the coordinates, he directly started the Stardust-class jump engine.

One minute later, the Stardust-class appeared in the galaxy of the destination.

But it was useless to just arrive. Chen Ming continued to stay here for a few hours to make a damage assessment.

It was not until Bai Quan got a damage assessment report that he was finally able to repair the Stardust-class and set off for the destination again.

He originally wanted to jump directly there, but Bai Quan stopped him.

Bai Quan must have a reason for doing this, so Chen Ming didn't say anything and continued to let the Stardust fly slowly in the hyperspace channel.

Time came to the morning of the next day.

Chen Ming had just finished washing up when he found that Bai Quan was already sitting on the sofa next to the repaired classroom, looking at the copy that even if there was a problem, The report was delivered without fail even when he was outside the door.

When Bai Quan noticed Chen Ming coming, he immediately stuffed a copy of the report to him.

When Chen Ming saw the content of the report, he immediately understood why Bai Quan did not let him jump directly yesterday.

The content of the report was very clear.

It was mainly the impact of the attack they had suffered yesterday.

After all, it was originally a secret operation for Chen Ming and Bai Quan to go out at this time to submit research materials and verify with Lou Wei whether Chen Ming had the ability to control the colony.

But now that an accident has occurred, Bai Quan naturally exposed the matter.

And he directly sent the officially certified damage report and most of the video footage of the whole incident to the Supervision Department at the headquarters. The door was opened and they were asked to intervene.

The reason was that Lou Wei had done something again to obstruct Chen Ming's verification of the colony's ability.

At the same time, Bai Quan also used a little trick to have people privately release the damage assessment report and some videos that would not expose Chen Ming's psychic effects to help the outside world confirm that this was not fake news.

Then according to today's report, the public opinion of the outside world was of course blown up.

No wonder Lao Wu contacted him urgently last night to ask him something, and the factory director also called him to ask him how the situation was.

Although this news involved the relationship between the real psychic and the psychic, ordinary people did not know too much about the content in the public opinion.

Just like the previous gambling agreement, most people just relied on the previous The negative public opinion about Bai Quan gave people a basic understanding of Bai Quan, and then after Bai Quan's public opinion reversed, they also had an understanding of the gambling agreement. The specific content of the gambling is not well known to outsiders.

But this is enough, because among those attacked by Zuo Jing this time, Bai Quan is a lieutenant general.

Zuo Jing, attack, lieutenant general.

Put these three keywords together, the matter cannot be small.

Although the external news said that Zuo Jing was quickly dealt with, there were no casualties except Zuo Jing, and the number of Zuo Jing personnel deaths exceeded 300, and the fleet was completely destroyed.

But the fact that a small group of Zuo Jing fleet suicide attacked the warships on the mission of the military was originally a slap in the face of the 14th Corps.

Although it was the face of the entire 14th Corps that was slapped outside.

But inside the 14th Corps, it was definitely not Bai Quan's face that was slapped.

The reason lies in what Bai Quan said to Chen Ming before.

The entire trajectory of their actions after they came out was only known to the two of them and the people on Lou Wei's side.

Bai Quan, an ordinary person, could not risk his life to provoke a psychic.

Many people also know that Chen Ming and Zuo Jing have a grudge. Zuo Jing wants to kill Chen Ming as soon as possible, and Chen Ming is even less likely to do such a thing under such circumstances.

So who leaked the information about Chen Mingquan's whereabouts? Many people must have the answer in their hearts.

Of course, there are also doubts.

Some people say that Chen Ming is afraid of going to the colony for actual testing next, so he deliberately directed and acted in such a play.

But whether it is self-directed or self-acted, you can see it by watching the video released by Bai Quan.

People with ability can naturally see all the videos.

Of course, you can also understand that Chen Ming is really fighting for life and death.

And Bai Quan dared to directly report the matter to the supervision department, so this matter could not be done by Bai Quan himself.

All kinds of factors are superimposed together, and the situation is instantly one-sided.

Relying on two documents and a video, Lou Wei was forced to issue a statement overnight, saying that it was definitely not them who did it, and they would definitely cooperate with the investigation to find out who leaked the information and caused the problem.

Lou Wei and others took the initiative to admit their mistakes, but it seemed that they also kicked the ball back in disguise.

That's about all the things that happened yesterday. The follow-up will depend on today's situation.

Bai Quan's intention of not letting Chen Ming jump directly to the destination yesterday must be to let the matter continue to ferment for a few days. If this matter is not handled well in one day, the pressure from all sides will definitely increase day by day.

Who is the most anxious now?

It is definitely not Chen Ming and Bai Quan.

After thoroughly understanding the situation, Chen Ming asked Bai Quan next to him: "So how should we deal with this matter later?"

"We don't have to deal with it."

Bai Quan said as if the matter was over: "The trouble of assassinating the lieutenant general and the psyker lies with the opponent. It is the opponent who has to consider how to deal with it, but who dares to deal with this kind of matter in private?"

"Don't forget that the previous matter has not been completely cleared up yet. When these two matters come together, this is no longer something that can be solved by asking them to self-examine."

"Someone from the headquarters will come over to deal with this matter soon, so we don't have to worry about it."

"With such a big pot, a lot of people have to be taken out to investigate. All we have to do is watch."

"oh."

Chen Ming nodded and asked, "Then how will they respond?"

"You have to ask them how they responded, but if I were here, I would not do anything about this matter. I would fully cooperate with the supervisor in the investigation and hand over the people who should be handed over."

"It was involved in Zuo Jing's affairs twice in a row, and one of them was directly related to my life. Anyone who has the idea of ​​​​taking a chance on it will definitely get bloodshed."

Chen Ming has experienced the previous things and probably understands the reasons. These are the rules within the system.

But there is one thing he still hasn't figured out: "Actually, I still don't understand why they want to assassinate us?"

Bai Quan asked: "Who said they want to assassinate us? How could they not know the rules after being around for so many years?"

"There are definitely people who just want to cause some trouble for us, make us feel disgusted, falsely accuse us of not being good at keeping secrets, etc., so they leaked our information to some people."

"It would be okay for them if they only attract ordinary left paths, because such left paths cannot threaten us at all, but they can disgust us."

"Zuo Jing must have been dealt with on the spot. Even if we don't deal with it, Zuo Jing will definitely rush up and deal with it himself. There will be no left for these Zuo Jing."

"Then they can argue with us about who leaked the secret. It's quite troublesome to think about it."

"But in the end, I'm afraid they didn't expect that the psyker from Zuojia would be attracted in the end, so the problem is huge."

"It's actually not difficult to find out who the person who leaked the information is. Only a few people may know, and each of these people is related to the person at the top of them."

"So I estimate that there will be results in this matter within three days, just watch."

"The results shouldn't disappoint."

Bai Quan threw away the terminal in his hand and was about to get up to prepare today's lesson plan when he suddenly sat down again and said to Chen Ming: "By the way, although we were delayed a little on the way, we should be almost there tomorrow night."

"It's the place responsible for testing your research data. Before handing over the data, we have to meet with Lou Wei. I'll tell them then."

"OK."

"Also, the results of Lou Wei's punishment came out yesterday. They were not included in the report. I'll just tell you now."

"Lou Wei received three disciplinary sanctions within our 14th Legion."

"One violation is illegally obtaining administrator rights of a simulation device, another violation is illegally using administrator rights to stop a formal recorded public battle, and the third violation is destroying your research data."

"The three violations and the Zuo Jing incident broke out later, causing him to be severely fined and directly lowered by two levels."

"I was sentenced to six months of compulsory labor and my monthly salary was reduced."

Chen Ming basically didn't listen to what he said next. After all, the punishment for wages and voluntary labor was not painful, and the main thing was the punishment of lowering it by two levels.

He remembered that Lou Wei seemed to be a major general before. If he lowered his rank by two levels, Lou Wei seemed to be a colonel now.

Although Lou Wei did not go to jail in the end, he was probably better off going to jail after falling from general level to school level.

This even means that Lou Wei is now on the same level as him.

Chen Ming is not yet a member of the 14th Army Corps, but an external temporary tactical instructor, with treatment equivalent to that of a colonel.

Lou Wei fell to the same level as him, no matter how you look at it, you will be happy.
