Chapter 30 Coordinates

"Really..."

Chen Ming walked forward and took a closer look.

He found that the most common marks carved on the stone wall were "正" characters used to record dates.

In addition to these "正", there was also a very large "东" character and a "?" that matched the "东".

It seemed that someone had worked here and carved them.

The number of "正" characters indicated that the person who lived here had stayed here for at least three months.

And this "东?" coincided with Chen Ming's previous thoughts.

But apart from that, there was no other valuable information on the stone wall.

Chen Ming thought about it, stretched out his hand to move the table away, and see if there was anything carved on the wall under the table.

But just as Chen Ming stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the table, he suddenly felt a special touch on his fingertips.

He seemed to have touched something.

Chen Ming subconsciously let go of his hand, half squatted down, and looked under the table.

Something like a USB flash drive was attached to the back of the table.

Chen Ming frowned, and after confirming that there was no trap hidden in this rotten wooden table, he reached out and took the USB drive off.

The interface of the USB drive was just compatible with the two personal terminals in Chen Ming's hand.

Did he forget to take it away, or did he leave it here deliberately?

Who are the people living here? Is it possible that they were left here by those who escaped from the mining space station where the insect plague broke out thirty years ago?

These questions may be answered from this USB drive.

For safety reasons, Chen Ming used the doctor's terminal to prevent viruses and other things in the USB drive.

However, when the USB drive was inserted and read normally, Chen Ming found that there were no viruses in it, only a few logs and file records.

The contents of these files are all about a special mental fluctuation called "mind pulse".

"Mind..."

Chen Ming frowned and recalled.

It seems that there are memories related to the mind in his mind.

Among humans, there are some special people who are born with the potential for mental abilities.

This mental ability refers to the will, thinking and spirit of a person.

Then such people will be discovered and taken away by the military in most cases.

Some people say that they are captured and killed to avoid threatening peace, while others say that they are sliced ​​and studied.

But what Chen Ming believes most is the most widely circulated statement, which can even be said to be the official tacit statement.

These people have mastered the talent of mind under the training of the military, become psychic ability users, and fight on the borders of the empire.

They are generally called psychics.

Chen Ming has never seen a psychic in his memory, but it does not prevent him from hearing similar news from other colleagues or on the Internet.

After recalling the past a little, Chen Ming put his attention back to these documents.

Because the documents in front of him that record "psychic pulses" seem to confirm the existence of psychics that he has never taken seriously.

However, psychics are not important to Chen Ming now.

What is important is the nature of the psychic pulses recorded in the documents.

Psychic pulses themselves are not naturally occurring phenomena, but are generated by a device called a psychic pulse generator.

The actual effect is very obvious, and Chen Ming has seen it many times, that is, it makes the objects affected by the mind pulse go crazy.

And in the brains of these crazy animals, a certain chemical substance will be produced.

And the effect of this chemical substance is the same as what Chen Ming has always seen.

After the animal's body functions stop, its body and brain will quickly rot.

This substance is produced from the brain, and that is why Chen Ming found that the brains of those crazy animals have the highest degree of brain decay.

Understand the source of animal madness.

But the problem also comes with it. The mind pulse device will not appear and start for no reason.

Since it appeared on this planet, there must be some reason behind it.

However, these documents did not give a conclusion on how the mind pulse and the mind pulse generator appeared on the planet.

Only in several other logs, the person who recorded the log wrote this sentence in a questioning tone.

The mind pulse device may be in the hands of the mechanical race.

Chen Ming has a better impression of this mechanical race.

This is a kind of mechanical life that has extreme hatred for humans that was discovered during the expansion of the human empire after the territory expanded to a certain extent.

And as the existence of the mechanical race was discovered, human pioneers also found some relics in the galaxies and planets where the mechanical race was discovered.

Some relics left by civilizations in this star field.

This is why the marginal star field is obviously poor and full of dangers, but there are endless adventurers and explorers coming here.

Although Chen Ming had come to the edge star field not to explore those ruins, since he was here, there were some things he should know.

It would be strange if there were no mechanical races on a small planet like Ruimu, which was located in the edge star field of the edge galaxy.

So Chen Ming subconsciously agreed to this conjecture. Perhaps the origin of the mechanical race on Ruimu was the ruins left by that civilization.

Speaking of which, Chen Ming suddenly thought.

Could it be that these mental pulse devices on the planet or the mechanical race that made mental pulses were the reason for the abandonment of the space station?

Chen Ming thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that it was not necessarily the case.

The company has so many subsidiaries, and its military strength should not be underestimated.

In addition to the imperial military being unable to confront them head-on, some scattered mechanical races should be able to deal with them.

If a large-scale and organized mechanical race appears, even if the company cannot defeat them, there will definitely be a military to encircle and suppress them. How could they still exist on the planet and force the company away?

There must be other reasons for the company to abandon the space station.

Chen Ming did not go into it and continued to read these documents.

But the contents behind the documents were basically the analysis of equipment such as the mind pulse generator, which was the same professional content as the maintenance books Chen Ming had on hand, and he could not understand it at all.

And Chen Ming flipped through the documents from beginning to end, but did not find the names of the people who recorded these documents.

It can only be said that Chen Ming now knows the source of the animal madness, but there is no effective solution, and he can't even be sure whether this mind pulse will fall on his head one day.

But at least Chen Ming can still judge some other situations by analyzing the current situation of this temporary residence.

First of all, looking at the buildings, it can be determined that this place should have been abandoned very early.

Although this place is abandoned, Chen Ming did not find any signs of chaos in several buildings.

It means that they left normally, not because they were forced to leave due to some circumstances.

This means that they must have another destination when they leave.

As for where this destination is...

Chen Ming frowned, looked at the stone wall with the mark "East?" with some uncertainty, and his thoughts gradually diverged.

After a few seconds of being stunned, Chen Ming seemed to suddenly realize something and immediately opened a document that he had just closed.

This document contained a series of complex calculation formulas.

Although the formulas were all the most basic mathematics, Chen Ming had no idea what was being calculated.

But now, after combining the "East?" on the wall, which probably represented the direction.

Chen Ming suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and added the longitude and latitude coordinates of the planet where the three buildings were located into the formula.

The final calculation was a coordinate point that Chen Ming could understand.
