Chapter 255 The Idea of ​​Coming Back

After Chen Ming told the president about his idea.

The president's affirmative response also made Chen Ming completely understand what the president meant. Only the body of a person who has experienced dimensional infection can be marked.

However, Chen Ming was still a little worried and confirmed with the president again: "What if there is a clone who has the same genes as a person who has experienced dimensional infection, and can be said to be almost identical?"

"I said that it is not the genes but the body that are marked. He marks you as a person, and nothing else is affected."

"Even if it is a clone cloned from the genes of your body tissue that has been infected by the dimension."

"Because I have been injured and bled in the past few years, and there is no abnormality in the blood that has flowed out, even if the blood is taken away from me for a distance."

"Fresh blood that has just flowed out will not have If any special situation occurs, it will definitely be the same for clones with the same genes, and the situation will not change. "

"We are just marked, not infected."

"I feel that if we use our body tissues to extract genes to create clones, the possibility of ordinary deformation will be higher in the middle of the process."

"In short, just try not to get hurt. If you get hurt, it is best to collect body tissues such as blood and not leave them there."

"Our situation is special after all."

"I understand."

According to the president's statement, the fake body created by Chen Ming using his own genes does not count as being marked by the existence of another dimension. It should not matter if the fake body meets the president.

Even if Zuo Jing really finds a way to let his fake body meet those who have experienced dimensional infection, there will be no consequences.

This is good news for Chen Ming.

At least he does not need to worry that the Zerg, to which he can also transfer consciousness, will also be regarded as the object of dimensional infection mark.

But in addition to the Zerg, Chen Ming suddenly thought of another thing and asked the president again: "That is to say, the little stone... hamster I brought with me at the beginning, it is actually marked, right? I have to take good care of it."

"Yes, the hamster that was with you at the beginning was definitely marked. I was quite surprised that it could survive the dimensional infection. Was it a psychic creature before?"

"Probably. When I first picked it up, I felt that it was quite special because it lived in an area with wild mental pulse generators of the mechanical race. At that time, other creatures were all crazy after being hit by mental pulses, but it didn't do anything and ran to me to steal food, and I caught it."

"Then when I went to Yu Hui's research institute later, Yu Hui prepared some things to improve my mental power, such as fairy leaves, in order to keep my mental power active."

"Fairy leaves? Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"Yu Hui actually has this."

Chen Ming also wanted to say this sentence. He didn't feel anything when he knew it before, but now he found that it was very wrong for Yu Hui to have this thing.

During this period, he also tried to mobilize the increasing number of Yuhui individuals under his control who stayed in Yuhui's territory to search, but there was no clue.

It is estimated that Yuhui's fairy tree should be on the planet where the Kletka simulator is located, which has now been completely closed and completely cut off from external physical contact.

The president made a note of this matter and asked again about the previous question: "You didn't eat all the fairy leaves that the mechanical tribe gave you?"

"No, I gave it one or two leaves at most, but later it made a hole in Yuhui's warehouse, sneaked in and ate up all the fairy leaves Yuhui had stored."

"..."

The president found it difficult to imagine how a hamster with only psychic potential at the time could do something under Yuhui's nose. In the end, he could only understand that Chen Ming thought that Yuhui gave too little each time, and Chen Ming was already planning to leave, so he took the initiative to let his hamster steal all the fairy leaves.

When the president was silent for a while, Chen Ming suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Xiaoshi's hamsters should be considered artificial species. Artificial species actually have the potential to become psychic creatures."

The president showed his experience at this time and said: "This is something that has been concluded many years ago. Artificial creatures can also become psychic creatures, just like clones can also show certain psychic traits."

"It's just that cloning technology is extremely dangerous, and artificial creatures cultivated using genetic modification technology are much safer."

"Speaking of this, I remember that when the cloning technology ban was issued, some places in the empire also banned all gene-related things for safety reasons. It was changed back after confirming safety, but it also led to the outflow of many related technical laboratories, causing certain damage to the local scientific research level. "

"I won't go into details about this, I just mentioned it casually."

"In short, Fan Chao's pet rat is also the result of research many years ago. Until recently, an active organization has released many of them on various planets. After several years of wilding, they are almost the same as wild creatures."

"Especially the planet Ruimu where you stayed, which is a place that no one has been to for decades. Don't worry too much about the difference between your hamster and ordinary creatures."

"But I'm curious about what kind of psychic effect your hamster has? Is it a physical strengthening type?"

"If so, maybe it can add some new content to the research on dimensional infection."

Chen Ming subconsciously recalled the days he spent with Xiao Shi, but he really couldn't recall a result.

"This... I really don't know. It usually eats and sleeps, and its psychic fluctuations have always been very stable. It seems that it has never used its psychic power."

"But it shouldn't be a physical strengthening type of psychic power."

Chen Ming, who didn't call the president, grabbed Xiao Shi, who was swinging on his work table, and squeezed him a few times. The feel was still as good as before.

It didn't feel like when Chen Ming used the psychic power of the queen of insects, his muscles were strengthened and hard.

Although it had seen Xiao Shi jump from a height of more than 20 meters, according to its later understanding of Xiao Shi's hamster species.

Xiao Shi is at least a pet mouse bred in Fan Chao's laboratory, and its own physical strength is still very high.

So even if Xiao Shi has the strength to jump from a height of more than 20 meters without any injury, it cannot reflect the characteristics of Xiao Shi becoming stronger through psychic power.

It is better to say that there is no difference between Xiaoshi before he was a psychic creature and now.

The president did not think there was anything wrong with Chen Ming's answer, but felt a little pity.

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the topic just now."

"We are all marked, so we must not get involved in this matter personally. The field investigation can only be done by others."

"I will discuss with Wu An how to do this matter. It is very convenient for Wu An to contact you and me. At that time, you can also quickly know the progress of the investigation of this matter. You must know the process of this matter."

"I must know?"

The president's tone became serious: "You are the only two people who have experienced dimensional infection known to the empire now, and you also have the responsibility to deal with dimensional infection."

"I am not forcing you, I just want you to know that the severity of dimensional infection is more than what you have seen before."

"If Zuo Jing really has the ability to create dimensional infection and let people survive it, the empire will face a catastrophe."

"Even, the entire universe will be marked by the existence of another dimension, and the entire universe will become a planet made of flesh and blood."

"The severity of this matter will affect the entire universe. It is not a problem that can be solved by running away."

"I am the president of the Psychic Society. No one has ever forced me. I am willing to do such things on my own initiative because I know that if I don't do it, no one can do it, but you are different."

"So I am just suggesting it now. I hope you can think about it carefully."

The president's words are a bit unlucky, but Chen Ming is not resistant to it.

Since that period of time, Chen Ming's thoughts have been changing, and now he has completely determined that it is impossible for him to survive in an environment without people.

Even if he doesn't talk about protecting the empire, even if it is just to protect people, Chen Ming has to invest in the dimensional infection.

This is also the reason why Chen Ming immediately chose to contact the president when he encountered a suspected dimensional infection in Lou Wei.

So now, Chen Ming responded to the president very straightforwardly: "I will."

"But I have a question, will the dimensional infection really affect the entire universe? Isn't it said that another civilization has a similar situation, and it is suspected that the demise of civilization is related to dimensional infection, but we don't seem to have seen any traces of dimensional infection now."

The president was very pleased with Chen Ming's answer, and continued to patiently explain to Chen Ming: "The reason for the demise of civilization is just a guess. It is not yet certain whether another civilization was destroyed by dimensional infection, and it is even very likely not."

"Because the dimensional infection is allowed to develop freely, the objects of dimensional infection will begin to expand to other galaxies on their own."

"I have seen with my own eyes how those infected eyeballs assimilated a planet and turned the entire galaxy into a bloody hell."

"They will never stay on a planet and not move."

"Of course, it is also possible that the dimensional infection did destroy that civilization, but the dimensional infection retreated later."

"But there are too many things to say here, and it's all empty talk without evidence."

After learning about the president's plan, Chen Ming continued to chat with the president for a few more words, ended the communication, and put down the terminal.

However, at this time, in a research institute in a certain galaxy in the empire, the president did not put down the terminal, but continued to contact other people with the terminal.

He is now the main force of the dimensional infection investigation, and he must take this matter seriously.

Since everyone chooses to believe Chen Ming's feelings, he must believe it thoroughly, otherwise it is better not to believe it.

Chen Ming, a witness of dimensional infection, said that similar situations occurred, and psychic energy also had corresponding feelings. Even if he found that the result was wrong in the end, he must investigate it before he can make a conclusion.

After talking with Wu An, the president just found another suitable person on the communication list and was about to call him.

He suddenly received another call here.

The communication code showed that it was He Gu.

Chen Ming left the room directly after ending the communication with the president.

Before returning to the room, he opened part of the Stardust level area to the people on the spacecraft, which included a reception room. The other people except He Gu were all here now.

When Chen Ming walked into the reception room, he noticed that several people in the reception room were a little restless.

After all, Lou Wei is dead. If this matter involves psychics, it is very likely that it will continue to affect them. As an ordinary person, it is difficult not to worry.

Chen Ming ignored them and walked straight to Bai Quan, who was also in the room, leaning against the porthole of the reception room and looking at the scene of the universe outside, and asked, "How's it going?"

Bai Quan looked back at him and said, "I'll talk about it together when Researcher He comes."

"OK."

After waiting for a while, He Gu also entered the reception room and nodded to Chen Ming and Bai Quan who were standing on one side of the room.

Seeing this, Bai Quan sat back at the table in the reception room, cleared his throat, attracted everyone's attention and said, "This matter must be handled coldly according to the requirements above."

"We must deal with this matter and all subsequent matters quickly without delay."

"This matter must not be exposed from us, that there is a psyker in the left path and killed the former major general of the empire. This matter must not be spread from us."

Bai Quan deliberately emphasized the two "absolute" words.

"Going forward, this matter will no longer be a problem that I can be responsible for solving. There are too many things involved, so there will be people at the admiral level to handle it."

"That's about it. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Chen Ming immediately asked: "What should we do specifically?"

"We have to look at the person responsible for handling this matter next."

"It may be necessary for your two colonies to cooperate. After all, people died in your colony."

"But it shouldn't have much impact when you return to the branch. I just carried out an internal purge some time ago. There is no reason to go to the branch. The main focus should be on the left path."

"The Zuo Path has been a stubborn problem for many years. We must find a way to solve the Zuo Path, otherwise the empire will definitely encounter more than a little trouble in opening up the road again."

After Bai Quan finished speaking, he continued to look at the others and said, "Is there any problem?"

He Gu suddenly raised his hand and said: "The response from our Psychic Research Institute is that there will be a special person to take charge of this matter. When the time comes, Lieutenant General Bai will help to connect the person."

"After all, they are different departments. It would be better to connect them quickly."

"Then I also informed the Fanchao Research Institute. They just accepted the news and did not give a clear response. I will contact you as soon as possible if there is any later."

Bai Quan nodded slightly to He Gu, and then looked at the others.

"Any question?"

No one answered.

Bai Quan took out a few pieces of paper filled with content and put them on the table and said, "No problem, just sign this confidentiality agreement."

"This matter ends here, and the rest will be handled by those who come later."

All Zuo Jing in the colony will be arrested within the next few days. Although Chen Ming suspects that Lou Wei's death is related to Zuo Jing, there is no clear directional evidence, so this matter will have nothing to do with him later.

After everyone signed a confidentiality agreement, Chen Ming once again released authority to several people and built a new shuttle boat for them to leave.

The shuttle boat that killed Lou Wei before was left behind, and it needs to be handed over as evidence to the person who took over.

After dealing with relevant matters.

Only Chen Ming and Bai Quan were left on Chen Ming's Stardust level, as well as a few entourage brought by Bai Quan.

Chen Ming and Bai Quan sat in the usual place where classes were held without anyone else disturbing them.

However, Bai Quan looked like he was having a headache now and said to Chen Ming: "Although your matter is basically over here, I should be very busy in the next period of time."

"I have to cooperate with the investigation on this matter. I may have to go back to the headquarters to report. There is a high probability that I won't be able to go back to the branch. The command and teaching matters may have to be put on hold for the time being. I'm sorry."

"Or I might as well let Xinghai teach you. Her grades were very good when she was in school."

"It would be fine for her to teach some first- and second-year college courses, but she might need two days to prepare."

Chen Ming looked at Bai Quan with thoughts in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay."

after one day.

Chen Ming returned to the branch, but he did not bring Bai Quan with him.

Bai Quan got off the ship in advance halfway and followed other ships to the headquarters of the Fourteenth Army Corps.

No matter what, it is impossible for Bai Quan to escape completely from the death of a former major general.

After returning to the branch, since Chen Ming has signed a confidentiality agreement, the subsequent events will most likely have nothing to do with him, so he will naturally do what he should do.

At least that's how it started.

It happened that Chen Ming had a lot of things piled up in the institute during the few days he was away, so he simply spent a few days seriously dealing with these things.

And because Chen Ming gave various researchers a holiday before leaving, after returning, Chen Ming immediately assigned them tasks against the mechanical tribe.

Some of them were proposed by Chen Ming but did not have time to figure out the topic, and some were proposed by other researchers themselves.

Anyway, Chen Ming who wants to do research supports it, and Chen Ming who wants to set up a research group also supports it.

With the cooperation of the controlled mechanical clan provided by Chen Ming, and the control of the uncontrolled mechanical clan sent from outside, the research conditions must be quite sufficient.

No matter what the research is, the entire honor, except for the results, belongs to the researcher and the research institute to which the researcher belongs. The more achievements of the research institute, the more scientific research funds will naturally be, and Chen Ming will not lose.

And the researchers are raised just to do this. There will always be times when they are needed to help with research in the future.

For example, they helped with the previous research on the Purgatory Core and the Synchrotron Core.

Looking back, Chen Ming plans to send the complete paper on the synchrotron core to the institute, which should keep the researchers busy for a while.

Next, he will wait for the heritage of another civilization that Baiquan applied for to come and study it for him.

Chen Ming already knows the name, it’s called the Catalytic Core.

I don’t know if it’s catalysis or something.

It took about two days for Chen Ming to finish handling the affairs of the institute.

While waiting for the catalytic core to arrive, Chen Ming suddenly remembered what Bai Quan had said before, asking him to participate in the investigation mission against the mechanical tribe.

Since Bai Quan agreed, there will always be a sequel to this matter.

It shouldn't take long.

Moreover, Chen Ming could indeed feel from Lao Wu, the price of material purchases, and various channels that the war with the machine clan was indeed approaching.

He also had to prepare for this and prepare for the next war.

It just so happened that he had time now, and there was another thing that he had thought of some time ago but had not solved before.

The relocation of the mechanical city and the Zerg hive.

The planet where the mechanical city and the insect nest are located is not very good from an astronomical position. Chen Ming must move them away, otherwise the insect race will risk being exposed.

There is nothing to say about the difficulty of relocating the Zerg tribe. It is not yet possible, but it is no problem to prioritize the relocation of the Machine tribe now.

Chen Ming could move the four Afterglow colonies back then. It was just a mechanical city. As long as a suitable location was found, relocation would be simple.

And since he can be sure that this mechanical clan's star field will inevitably perish under the empire's full attack, then he must carefully choose the new position of the mechanical clan.

In Chen Ming's mind, the mechanical city is a bridgehead. In the future, materials such as energy crystals will be concentrated here and then transported to the empire.

The Yuhui controlled by Chen Ming is in charge, not Chen Ming himself, so Chen Ming has to temporarily choose a place that is relatively close to the empire.

After all, the Star Territory of the Mechanical Tribe is not small. Even if it were to occupy the entire Star Territory of the Mechanical Tribe, it would take more than ten years, not to mention that the war might last for several more years.

Chen Ming can wait until the empire wins the war between the machines and continues to expand before considering moving to other places.

Therefore, Chen Ming chose the location where the Mechanical Tribe will move for the first time, in the gap directly between the Mechanical Tribe and the Afterglow star field, and beyond the direct passage from the Empire, further out.

It's quite close to the previous location, but it's even closer to Chen Ming's current first temporary stronghold, and the surrounding hyperspace channels are denser, making it easier to travel between different galaxies.

Even Chen Ming could consider building a semi-permanent structure here, and multiple bridgeheads in the future wouldn't be a bad thing.

Anyway, as long as the location is found and the tasks are assigned to Yu Hui, the relocation can only be done in one day. It is nothing more than a matter of fuel consumption.

After doing these things.

Chen Ming's thoughts once again returned to the matter of dimensional infection related to Zuo Jing.
