Chapter 250 Reconstruction and Planning

When Chen Ming used the metal liquid to carry a large number of people to the open space near the mall.

Lou Wei, Major General Song and others could see that Chen Ming was not doing any operations on the colony itself, but was doing some extra things that had nothing to do with the gambling agreement.

So much so that Lou Wei was now looking forward to seeing Chen Ming's lack of mental strength due to doing this thing, and ultimately leading to the failure to complete the agreement.

Major General Song hoped that this matter could end peacefully, at least in this way he could get a reply from Bai Quan that would make him feel at ease.

And the several leaders of the local government and military departments who were called by Bai Quan also rushed over as soon as they noticed what the metal liquid was doing.

They came to Chen Ming and asked Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen Ming, who are these people?"

"People who are involved with Zuo Jing, I asked Bai Quan to invite you here, hoping that you can help deal with these people."

The few leaders who had just arrived looked at each other when they heard this answer.

Although Chen Ming was a psychic, he suddenly used psychic power to capture a large number of people from various places in a colony. This situation made people a little incomprehensible.

The military leader asked tentatively: "You said they were Zuo Jing? Then the evidence..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly everyone heard a series of explosions in the distance of the residential area, also in the residential area.

"What's going on?"

The military and police immediately felt something was wrong and wanted to send people to investigate the explosion.

But Chen Ming stopped him: "Just now, some Zuo Jing detonated the explosives buried in their own place. I didn't have time to clean up all the explosives around them. You can only see the bodies when you go there, and you have to find a way to clean them up. It's better to arrest them here first."

"As for the evidence you want, I'm already sorting it out."

Sorting it out...

This sentence made several leaders at a loss for a while.

"This... is not good..."

"Although there was an explosion just now, if there is no evidence for the other people who were captured, there will be some problems in the procedure."

"How about we get the evidence first and then come?"

Bai Quan suddenly interrupted at this time: "I can guarantee this matter for Chen Ming. If there are any problems, you can come to me and I will take responsibility for the problems."

Although Bai Quan said so, the responsible persons were still a little hesitant.

After all, according to Chen Ming's efficiency in catching people and the number of people who have been captured in the open space, what Chen Ming is going to do is definitely not a scale of dozens or hundreds of people.

They just came here to go through the motions according to Bai Quan's request, but now they have to take charge of such a big thing suddenly. It is really not something they can decide directly.

Chen Ming had no choice but to create another data chip from his palm.

"These are some of the evidence that is easy to organize. Take a look. The rest of the evidence that is not easy to organize will be given to you later. I can make sure that all the people I catch are related to Zuo Jing."

The responsible persons looked at each other, and finally the representative of the military, the main force dealing with Zuo Jing, took the chip.

After inserting the chip into a terminal, they also saw the evidence stored in the chip, which Huihuang helped to organize.

And Chen Ming directly picked out all the people involved in the evidence.

As long as they were compared, the evidence and the actual situation would naturally match.

Several people chatted with each other for a few words and confirmed that the evidence was fine.

At the same time, they immediately realized what Bai Quan meant when he asked them to come over before, saying that they should bring as many people and spacecraft as possible.

If every left-wing element captured by Chen Ming can have such clear evidence, then this matter will definitely be good for them.

It was the military leader who first asked Chen Ming, "How large an area can your psychic power cover?"

"All."

Chen Ming gave a completely unexaggerated answer: "You can first estimate how many left-handed paths there are in the entire colony, and then decide how many spaceships to bring here. Anyway, I will bring here all the people in the entire colony who have clear and relevant evidence related to the left-handed paths."

"It's not easy for me to handle this matter, but you can."

"Please wait a moment."

The attitude of the military leader changed, and he immediately ran back to the spaceships where he had just been before he came to Chen Ming.

Seeing this, the other people also said goodbye to Chen Ming temporarily, followed the military representative back to the spaceship, and immediately contacted the superior department.

A few minutes later.

The leaders returned to Chen Ming again, and this time their attitude changed 180 degrees from before.

The head of the star zone military said to Chen Ming: "We have been authorized to fully cooperate with your work. What do you need us to do?"

"Just arrest people."

"Understood."

With the instructions of the superiors, Chen Ming's evidence, and Bai Quan's guarantee, it would be unreasonable not to do it.

It is impossible for several departments to think about how to divide the credit before the credit is obtained, so they immediately cooperated to start arresting the people brought by Chen Ming.

However, no matter how efficient they are, and there are three departments to cooperate.

They also had no way to deal with Chen Ming's continuous flow of left-path molecules to the open space near the mall.

Let alone the manpower problem, the open space alone was soon filled with metal liquid and people controlled by the metal liquid.

But in fact, there were more left-path molecules being sent here by Chen Ming's psychic power.

So after communicating with the heads of those departments, Chen Ming chose to send people to the vicinity of the Stardust landing site.

Because the people in those departments had just notified them to go back and request more spaceships and more manpower to come.

It just so happened that this place had a large open area that could be used to dock the remaining spaceships.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the metal liquid had swept the entire residential area around the entire colony, all the people in the entire colony who had clear connections with the left path had been arrested.

The total number reached more than 60,000, which was equivalent to an average of one in two or three people in the entire colony believed in the left path.

The number was exaggerated to the extreme.

It really took the government a lot of money every year to support these left-path people.

Moreover, these are only the people who believe in Zuo Jing and have left clear evidence. There may be more Zuo Jing members who have not left clear evidence.

So we need to interrogate them next and confirm who else is suspected of believing in Zuo Jing through the interpersonal network.

But these are not Chen Ming's business.

After he finished sweeping the residential area, he took a short rest and started to transform the industrial area directly.

This is what he really wants to do today.

The psychic energy was stimulated again.

The metal liquid that covered the residential area around the industrial area rolled back to the industrial area like a tsunami sweeping towards an isolated island.

Chen Ming heard some exclamations.

I don't know whether it was because of the metal liquid tsunami or about to pass over their heads or because they were simply shocked by the psychic energy.

Anyway, he didn't care.

As long as the metal liquid is slightly controlled, no one will be hurt by mistake.

And here are either Zuo Jing, civilians whose communications are regulated, or people from the government and the army.

No matter which reason, nothing will happen.

And what happened in the colonial industrial area next was basically the same as what was simulated in the simulation.

The metal liquid covered the abandoned industrial facilities and seeped into them, and then the industrial facilities were instantly as good as new.

Such scenes are gradually spreading from the outer periphery of the industrial zone to the inner circle.

However, there are some differences from the simulation.

When the metal liquid spread to the warehouses under the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower in the innermost circle, the metal liquid controlled by Chen Ming continued to spread to the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower.

In the simulation, Chen Ming did not repair the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower.

Because the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower in the simulation operated without any problems.

At that time, Chen Ming was not very good at estimating how much mental power would be needed to repair such a behemoth that penetrated deep into the mantle and to the center of the earth.

However, as he subsequently acquired some knowledge of the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower in the simulation, he also had a general understanding of the situation of this tower, and also determined that the amount of remaining mental power he calculated using psychic power in the previous simulation was sufficient to repair the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower.

In addition, this Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower in reality has indeed been destroyed, leaving irreparable damage, and it cannot be used normally without repair.

Even Chen Ming found that some places inside the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower that seemed to be still in operation, just like the industrial facilities outside, were installed with some bombs by the Left Path elements.

I am afraid they are just waiting for a day to come and completely destroy this place.

In fact, what Chen Ming did today has already met this condition, which is enough for the Left Path to detonate the bomb.

Especially when some bombs placed by the Left Path in the residential area exploded just now, the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower should have exploded.

But fortunately, in order to avoid trouble and recover more mental power, Chen Ming had controlled all the industrial buildings in the industrial area in advance, and all the bombs were cleared by him at the first time.

The residential area is too large, and there is no mechanical structure in the industrial area. Chen Ming can only rely on metal liquid to dismantle it, so he still didn't have time to completely solve all the bombs, and it was still blown out by several Left Path elements.

However, the loss of the residential area is not important.

The important thing is that the energy tower is fine.

However, it is precisely because of these reasons that he now needs to thoroughly repair this Earth Core Furnace Power Tower.

Although Chen Ming is still a little worried because he has never operated it before, as the metal liquid gradually penetrates into the tower along the junction of the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower on the surface, and spreads upward and downward to the entire power tower.

Chen Ming's slightly tense heart is completely relaxed.

Successfully merge a large amount of metal liquid with the power tower, and restore the entire power tower to its original new appearance, and can start running at full power again.

The roar of the engine operating at the bottom of the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower gradually began to sound, and a heat wave began to spread from the power tower to the surroundings.

At the beginning, some heat will indeed escape when restarting at the highest power.

However, with the normal operation of the power tower, the heat wave dissipated, and the ambient temperature returned to normal again.

And the thick smoke that should have appeared around the energy tower was also repaired by Chen Ming, and the original waste gas recovery devices were all packed and collected.

This is a device that is generally only available in industrial colonies located on habitable planets and with industrial facilities.

It can effectively relieve environmental pressure.

If it can operate normally, it means that the entire energy tower has been truly put into operation.

The maintenance of the entire colony has been completely completed with the good operation of the energy tower.

Chen Ming's mental power still has enough remaining amount.

The mental power consumed by maintenance is still a small amount after all, and the majority of mental power consumption is always in the expansion after maintenance.

Expansion is much more troublesome than maintenance.

Its troubles are mainly in the design.

As in the previous simulation, Chen Ming needs a special design to make all the things in the newly expanded colony, whether it is buildings or equipment, all transformed from the original basis.

And there cannot be too many independent buildings, otherwise, in such a vast area, his mental power consumption is likely to not keep up.

Before, Chen Ming had the assistance of Hong Guanghong.

This time, he needs to complete such a design by himself.

At the same time, he also needs to make these things he designed meet his interests and put them into production as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the colonies compensate him later, he will have to be responsible for the expenses of maintaining the two colonies.

Even with government subsidies, it will be troublesome if the investment cannot be converted into income in time.

If the colonies cannot start making money as soon as possible, or at least reduce the amount of money that needs to be spent on the colonies.

Then the money in his hands, although it has more than 60 billion after the second batch of antimatter technology patent fees and some of his technologies have begun to be tested and make money.

But put it in the mouths of these two already complete and decaying gold-eating beasts, not even a sound may be heard.

So he now needs to make his own plans before the expansion, and that's why he came here three days earlier and completed his plan.

What Chen Ming has to do in this light industrial colony is very simple.

Because the light industrial production system here does not need to be changed, the main types of production equipment in this light industrial colony are plastic products and some daily necessities with plastic as the main material.

And plastic is an indispensable part of industry, and it is also an indispensable thing for Chen Ming's colony and the way to open up the past halfway.

All the materials needed for the development of Huihuang were either brought from Yuhui before, or purchased and supported by his money-making methods.

Since Chen Ming is about to have his own industrial colony, he must replace the materials he has been purchasing with cheaper means to obtain them.

Starting from lower-level and cheaper raw materials for self-production is obviously a good choice, and reducing the cost of some materials is definitely not a problem.

That's why Chen Ming will give priority to repairs, because the original industrial facilities are also within his plan.

Chen Ming can directly digest the output of this colony internally.

By the way, he can also use some plastic products industries to earn some costs back, and by the way, he can also place those who may still stay on the planet in these unimportant industries, which perfectly meets Chen Ming's needs.

However, after he completes the task of the light industrial colony, the task of another heavy industrial colony that needs to be done is completely different.

Another heavy industrial colony in the same galaxy is located on an uninhabitable planet.

Non-habitable planets mean higher maintenance costs, which leads to the decline of heavy industrial colonies. Although it is due to the impact of the left path on the light industrial colonies, the status is worse than that of habitable colonies.

The damage to the industrial facilities of the heavy industries above is more serious, and the population is relatively small.

Although it will be easier to deal with the left path at that time, Chen Ming even dares to directly move all the population of the heavy industrial colonies to the light industrial colonies at his own expense.

Then the heavy industrial colonies will be completely vacated, leaving it to himself and his subordinate Yuhui to complete the operation of the entire colony.

With Yuhui's management, Chen Ming believes that many things will be much easier.

But there are other problems with the heavy industrial colony.

That is, its original basic industrial facilities, their own purpose is to produce civilian spacecraft hulls.

After all, it is not a colony built by the 14th Legion at the beginning, but a colony obtained from this star region. Most of these industrial facilities are used to help other companies produce and make money.

Chen Ming does not need things like civilian spacecraft hulls, even if it can be transformed into a production line for manufacturing military spacecraft hulls, he thinks it is unnecessary.

Because he doesn't need too many spaceships.

There is a Stardust-class ship in the empire, and a small-to-medium-sized fleet to hunt pirates and earn some pocket money for daily use is enough.

Outside the empire, the number of Yuhui's fleets in his hands is already saturated.

Continuing to expand will only increase pressure from all aspects.

As for the small number of spaceships missing, instead of producing them, Chen Ming might as well buy some materials and build them himself.

What's more, he will have a larger fleet of Zerg biological spaceships in the future. Ordinary spaceships are no longer too important in Chen Ming's eyes.

Unless it's the Stardust class or the Heavy Rain class, which are two spaceships he likes very much, then he might be more prepared.

However, both of these spacecraft are tachyon technology spacecraft, and Chen Ming does not have much spacecraft manufacturing technology.

Although he has been doing the reverse research after in-depth optimization, he has not been very efficient. After all, there are many other things that have been dragging his energy.

Therefore, the idea of ​​mass-producing Heavy Rain and Stardust can be passed on directly.

Therefore, this heavy industrial colony needed to be revamped.

As for the reconstruction, Chen Ming's idea is to cooperate with Bai Quan.

Although he can renovate it at will, after all, Chen Ming's side is still on the road of development. There are many heavy industries that can use this colony to make up for some of the things he needs to spend money to acquire.

But after comprehensively considering the situation of the two colonies, Chen Ming felt that it was better to use this heavy industry colony to make money.

Making money will definitely result in a loss compared to directly replacing the materials needed in the development process.

But it is not unacceptable to lose a little in exchange for a liquid fund.

And this can draw him into a relationship with Bai Quan.

It's not that Chen Ming doesn't understand things about human affairs. If some of the things in his hands were divided, it would be better than keeping them all in his own hands.

Chen Ming and Bai Quan currently have a cooperation in energy crystallization, but this cooperation is still in the early experimental research stage and cannot make money yet.

So Chen Ming simply brought this heavy industry into cooperation now.

Anyway, as long as the heavy industry colony can operate stably and normally, it is impossible not to make money.

Then this money is given to everyone. No matter how Chen Ming wants to make money, he must give at least part of it to those raw material suppliers, so why not cooperate with Baiquan?

Baiquan definitely has resources on hand.

Moreover, there are many technologies within the Fourteenth Legion that only belong to the Fourteenth Legion. At the same time, there are also many military things that rely on qualified companies that cooperate with each legion to produce them.

Although Chen Ming has no qualifications, he is now nominally a member of the Fourteenth Legion.

It is absolutely no problem for Baiquan to provide raw material support and earn profits from it.

Chen Ming also specifically asked Bai Quan before.

Although Bai Quan was a little hesitant, he finally made up his mind and agreed to Chen Ming's request and agreed to let him be involved in the production of some military industries.

Chen Ming's psychic power did make people worry a lot and would hinder many things, but Bai Quan did not reject him because of this.

Then Chen Ming will naturally try his best to take care of Baiquan.

So the final choice for the transformation of the heavy industrial colony was determined, which was fuel production.

Fuel is a consumable, and Chen Ming's psychic energy acting on consumables will have a much better negative impact on others than acting on other hulls, weapons, armor, etc. that need to be used for a long time.

Later, when the antimatter fuel technology is completely mature and can be put into commercial use, it will be more convenient to convert it into an industrial facility for manufacturing antimatter fuel.

In addition, Chen Ming happens to have a synchrotron core on hand that can be used in industrial facilities. As the first synchrotron core actually put into use, it can also bring some additional value to his technology.

By the way, Chen Ming can also have a reasonable excuse to ask Bai Quan for two synchrotron cores.

Bai Quan also helped Chen Ming negotiate the raw material suppliers for fuel production and the profit sharing between the parties in the previous three days.

By the way, he also helped Chen Ming contact a petroleum processing company that cooperated with the 14th Army Corps. They could purchase the by-products of petroleum, which are the raw materials for plastics, at a relatively low price, which can be used in light industrial colonies.

All these things were done within three days of Chen Ming's early arrival.

Now that Chen Ming has arranged everything, he only needs to finish what he should do, and all that is left is to wait.

As long as all the prerequisites are arranged, all the remaining Afterglow cores will be taken care of for him.

Of course, the transformation of heavy industry will come after the light industry colonies.

And now the expansion of light industrial colonies has just begun.

This takes some time.
