Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 331 Joint Action

Caimo Xingyu's words made everyone in the conference room focus on him.

And he immediately said: "Since the last incident, the key figures of Zuo Jing died and the Zuo Jing forces fell apart. Our star field has been committed to dealing with the aftermath of the dimensional infection and eradicating the remaining Zuo Jing elements. "

"In this process, we often encounter some stubborn remnants of the Left Path who use a part of the dimensional infection tissue left by the psyker of the Left Path to infect themselves."

"There are still small-scale dimensional infection outbreaks on some other planets."

"The ontology of the dimensional infection entity is dead, and these small-scale dimensional infections will not last."

"But before the entire star field is cleaned up, we will still encounter them frequently, so if necessary now, we can try to capture samples of dimensional infected entities."

"After the dimensional infected entity is captured, it can maintain its life for a period of time by feeding it with organisms, which should be enough for experiments."

The person next to the Star Territory Chief reminded in a low voice: "This is very dangerous. If we don't handle it well, if these dimensional infections spread again, it will make things worse for us."

"You have to try. If it succeeds, we will have a new way to solve the dimensional infection."

The president took the initiative and suggested: "Let me do it, give me some people, and I will help capture and conduct subsequent verification."

"But you're not..."

Of course, the president still remembers that he was also an experiencer of dimensional infection. He had been remotely commanding outside the Caimo Star Territory before, and he will certainly not forget it this time.

"It's okay, I won't go there in person, I will use psychic energy to conduct experiments from a distance, as long as you provide me with precise spatial coordinates."

After the president finished speaking.

The director of the Naval Ship Research Institute next to him and the few people he found looked at each other.

Although Caimo Starfield has no contact with the ship research institute of the Fourteenth Legion, or other ship research institutes that cooperate with the Fourteenth Legion.

But regarding this matter that affected the entire empire and actually affected the Fourteenth Legion, everyone remained consistent in the general direction.

Finally, the director of the Ship Research Institute said: "We can provide phase ships for experiments, but if there are no phase ships near Caimo, we need to find a way to send them there."

Someone next to the director immediately added: "We can't let Caimo send the entity over, it's too dangerous."

"If we pursue efficiency, we must send it by the cruiser, or let Caimo's fifth..."

Chen Ming suddenly interrupted when the person was mid-sentence: "No need to look for them, I will be responsible for this matter. I can quickly send the phase ship to Cai Mo."

Chen Ming's tone seemed to contain a hint of displeasure, causing the person who had just spoken to immediately ask the director in a low voice: "Is there any conflict between Chen Ming and the Fifth Army Corps?"

"Do you know An Wuping? An Wuping is a person who is favored by the president of the association and Chen Ming. Later, in addition to joining Ao Dan, he also joined the Psychic Association."

"But before, because An Wuping had deprived the Fifth Army of the opportunity to seize the power of dimensional infection, the Fifth Army did not care about An Wuping's life and death. Maybe it was because Chen Ming was unhappy with the Fifth Army."

"I see. No wonder No. 5 is in Caimo now but no one called him over."

The director added in a low voice: "Actually, I feel that Caimo Star Territory Chief himself does not want the Fifth Army to interfere too much. Their Star Territory and Fifth Army are independent, but now there are signs that Fifth Army has intervened too deeply.

"Since I know that the Psychic Association and the Fifth Legion are not going to deal with them, of course I won't look for them."

After explaining the situation quietly in front of everyone.

Everyone present basically understood what was to be done next.

Over there in Caimo Star Territory, we captured the entity together with the president.

The Ship Research Institute provides phase ships and supporting technical guidance.

Chen Ming transported the things provided by the Ship Research Institute to Caimo.

The president came to conduct the final experiment.

They were all people who had no contact with each other at all, but under Chen Ming's help, they united and worked together in the same direction.

"So be it."

Chen Ming, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, suddenly stood up and said, "When the experimental results come out, everyone will know whether what I said today is true."

"After that, this matter should definitely be on the right track even if we don't bother."

End of the meeting.

Chen Ming took the initiative to establish a contact group.

It will be convenient for people in different organizations to communicate with each other and announce the progress of the test.

This matter involves everyone's interests and will inevitably be promoted by everyone together.

His abilities are highly bound to the scarlet dimension and phase space at the same time.

As long as this thing can be implemented, he will definitely be the one who benefits the most.

At least someone can help him invest more in the research of phase space. He just needs to learn it slowly in the future.

After the communication group is established.

Star Territory Chief said hello to Chen Ming and led the people to end the holographic projection.

Qiu Boyen nodded with Chen Ming and also exited the holographic projection without saying much.

As the highest-ranking person in the headquarters, of course he must be informed of this matter, so Chen Ming would give him face if he asked him to come.

The people at the Psychic Research Institute seemed a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything. Everyone except He Gu ended the projection.

It was Bai Quan who suddenly said to Chen Ming: "You just asked me to come here to make up for my feelings."

Chen Ming spread his hands and said: "After all, the meeting is held on the territory of the legion. It is still such an important matter. I can't help but let you know, right?"

Bai Quan smiled, did not respond to this sentence, and said instead: "You are also a big shot now."

Chen Ming subconsciously glanced at the position where the holographic projections of Qiu Boyen and Xingyu Chang disappeared: "It seems."

The holographic projection's hand tapped Chen Ming's shoulder twice, and Bai Quan's holographic projection also disappeared.

He Gu, who had not left just now, immediately came over with a smile on his face and said, "I feel like I am also making up the numbers."

"How is that possible? The people who study phase technology in the Ship Research Institute are ordinary people. Now that phase technology is related to dimensional infection, it is related to psionic energy. If the Legion wants to do something, it must involve the Psychic Research Institute. right?"

Although this matter seems to have nothing to do with the Psychic Research Institute, in fact, from the perspective of the entire legion, the matter of dimensional infection is the most relevant matter to them.

It's just that they have a larger scope of responsibility, so they can't see much effect in this experiment.

Of course He Gu also knew this. He patted Chen Ming on the shoulder twice and disappeared into the conference room.

The president on the side took one last look at Chen Ming, and the holographic projection disappeared into the conference room.

But immediately, the president's call came to Chen Ming's terminal.

Chen Ming glanced at the side. There was still the director of the Ship Research Institute and some other people called by the director in the conference room. They were exchanging details on what to do next.

Chen Ming left the conference room first, went to a deserted corner outside, and answered the president's call.

"Tell me about the connection between phase space and dimensional infection."

After confirming that there was no one around and no equipment to eavesdrop, Chen Ming asked: "President, you should have entered the phase space, right?"

"Yes, after I learned about the development of phase ship technology, I tried to go in there myself, but I didn't tell anyone else. I didn't have time to take care of the development of phase ships."

"But I don't feel any impact in phase space. Marks are just marks. So what did you mean at the meeting?"

Chen Ming replied: "That's right, what's affected on my body is indeed not the mark, but something else."

"What is it?"

Chen Ming did not answer this question directly, but said: "I have entered the dimension where the dimensional infection originated."

"What?"

The president immediately suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Chen Ming repeated it again: "I have entered the dimension where the dimensional infection originated."

The president didn't know what to say for a moment, because he didn't think Chen Ming was telling lies now.

After a while, the president suddenly exhaled: "I once found a way to enter that dimension, but before I actually went in, I was afraid."

"Because I feel that as long as I go in, I will definitely die, or in a way that I can't clearly perceive."

Chen Ming thought about the president's past achievements. He must have been a level six psyker decades ago. He once couldn't get in...

"what about now?"

"Pretty much, I just might die, it's no longer certain."

"But as I get older, I have more and more things to do and more and more responsibilities to bear. I can no longer take risks."

"The most I can say is that when my time comes, I might give it a try."

Chen Ming thought about the last time he saw the president. He looked to be under forty years old at most: "President, aren't you quite young?"

"But I'm actually in my sixties."

"Forget it, let's not mention the past."

The president took the initiative to end the previous topic and returned to the present: "You have gone in before, can you tell me how you went in? When did you go in? What did you encounter again?"

"Let me hide the two questions of how I got in and when I got in a little bit. I'll just talk about what I encountered inside."

"OK."

The president didn't force Chen Ming, he just listened.

After Chen Ming thought about his words for a moment, he said, "I entered that dimension for about half a second."

"That is a scarlet dimension, filled with all kinds of 'knowledge'."

"This knowledge will flow to the person who comes in the moment someone enters. If you can't bear it, the only result will be madness and death."

Although Chen Ming spoke very abstractly, the president seemed to understand what Chen Ming said.

Constantly comparing what Chen Ming said with everything he had personally experienced.

Filling his consciousness with knowledge to the point of going crazy can indeed, to a certain extent, match his sense of danger when he was able to enter that dimension.

This is no problem.

At the same time, the president was still thinking silently in his mind.

Has Chen Ming been exposed to similar incidents of dimensional infection other than Cai Mo recently?

Although Chen Ming can achieve effects similar to spatial abilities, he is not a spatial ability user.

Since you can enter that dimension, it must be related to the dimension infection event.

However, in his thinking, there have been no events related to dimensional infection at all recently, only things involving Cai Mo.

Colored ink...

The president shook his head slightly and asked Chen Ming: "What knowledge did you gain after entering the scarlet dimension?"

"Knowledge of psychic energy. I have mastered more psychic power."

"What about something more specific?"

Chen Ming thought for a while and said: "President, do you have the terminal I gave you before?"

The president opened a drawer next to him, took out the terminal and said: "Yes."

Chen Ming's psychic energy was activated immediately, and a small piece of metal ingot appeared on the terminal.

The president picked up the small piece of metal and looked at it for a while.

He slowly said a term that shocked him: "Silent Alloy."

Chen Ming responded at this moment: "This is only part of the power brought by the knowledge I obtained in the scarlet dimension. There are more."

The president did not let Chen Ming show it this time.

A psychic who can control the silent alloy is already the most outrageous thing in his opinion.

"Since you have grown to this level, when will you consider taking some systematic psychic training?"

"But I don't have this idea yet."

Chen Ming declined politely; "I think I am far from reaching my limit."

The president certainly won't force you on such matters: "You can decide for yourself."

"Then how did you get out after entering that dimension?"

"I left an anchor tied with mental power on the way in. After entering, I couldn't bear it for half a second, so I came back along the anchor."

Although Chen Ming said it quite easily, the president, as someone who had sensed the scarlet dimension, immediately questioned: "Is it really that simple?"

"It's really dangerous. Even though I have a high level of consciousness and the protection of the ship spirit, I almost couldn't come back."

Chen Ming's consciousness strength is really not something that other psychics can match.

Chen Ming himself carries a spirit stone with high-intensity negative effects for a long time, and also has two hive mind networks as an aid.

There is also a direct consciousness link between the queen and Chen Ming, plus the protection of the ship spirit.

Even Chen Ming almost died in the scarlet dimension.

"It really took only half a second, and my mental power was completely exhausted, and even my consciousness was greatly damaged."

"But it's okay, the result is good, at least I did get 'knowledge'."

"So, it all depends on personal ability."

The president sighed and said to Chen Ming: "But in my impression, you are not a risk-taker."

"Sometimes, some risks must be taken."

Chen Ming couldn't say that when he was controlling An Wuping to fight the brainwashed psychic, he was dragged into the scarlet dimension by his dying struggle?

If the boss knows, he will know. After all, the boss's own psychic power is spiritual. As long as he observes more, he will find that all the people Chen Ming has in the empire are fake bodies.

Not to mention that the boss is so familiar with Chen Ming that he casually discovered Chen Ming's habit of giving a fake name and recognized An Wuping.

But if the president didn't know, Chen Ming really didn't need to take the initiative to tell this situation.

The more people know a secret, the more likely it is that the secret is no longer a secret.

The president did not hesitate and returned to the original question and said, "So what is the oppression you feel in the phase space? You held the meeting because of this."

After the previous preparations, Chen Ming explained, "After I came out of the scarlet dimension, a crack leading to the scarlet dimension was left in my consciousness space."

"..."

The president suddenly fell silent again.

This time he was silent for a longer time before saying, "You always bring me some surprises, which are sometimes surprises and sometimes shocks."

"What is it this time?"

"Both. The shock is that the space crack of the scarlet dimension will appear in your consciousness space, and the surprise is that you are still alive."

After entering the scarlet dimension and being marked by the scarlet dimension, there is even a crack in the consciousness space that leads directly to the scarlet dimension. It is outrageous no matter how you look at it that Chen Ming can still be alive.

But it is always a good thing that Chen Ming is alive.

"So, that crack was suppressed by the phase space, right?"

"Yes, but I can't tell everyone that there is a crack in my consciousness space that has been suppressed, so I used another excuse, as long as people can believe it."

"Anyway, my lie will not be exposed in a short time."

"Well... I think I roughly understand what's going on, but I still have to think about it. Let's do this for now, and we'll talk later."

"Okay."

End the communication.

The president still needs time to digest what Chen Ming said.

It is also necessary to prepare for the interactive experiment of phase space and dimensional infection.

Chen Ming turned back to the conference room.

The director had finished talking with the people he called, and now he was the only one waiting for Chen Ming to come back in the conference room.

When Chen Ming came in, the director handed Chen Ming two things and said, "Here, give it to you, as agreed before."

Chen Ming looked down and saw that the director handed him two walkie-talkies.

"This is... the device that emits sound into the phase space?"

"Yes, but it's only a part. The real main equipment is somewhere else. This is just an external port."

Chen Ming took the intercom and used psychic power to control himself to check the structure.

The director next to him explained the effect of this thing to Chen Ming.

"This walkie-talkie has two operating modes. One is the call mode, which is to communicate between two walkie-talkies."

"The other is the broadcast mode. When only one walkie-talkie is used in the normal universe, the sound you make to the walkie-talkie can be broadcast near the corresponding area in the phase space."

"The phase space also follows some basic physical laws, so you still can't make sounds in a vacuum, you have to know this."

"Although this thing looks quite convenient, there are many uncertain factors in the walkie-talkie, and it also conflicts with the military's command system."

"We can't rely on walkie-talkies for everything, so we also need a signal base station that can connect the normal universe and the phase space to build a complete communication system. This is the upper limit of this thing."

Chen Ming understood.

"Can I borrow this temporarily?"

"No problem"

Although he was puzzled about what Chen Ming wanted this for, the director just said that this thing was not very meaningful,

and it was just a walkie-talkie, and they had many walkie-talkies.

And Chen Ming's idea was to use this to try to contact the phase monster.

He could act as a repeater to receive and send signals to achieve the conditions for use outside the empire.

Although it is more convenient to communicate with a phase ship, it is better to use this cheap one.

It is not painful to lose it, and it is cheap to repair it. If it doesn't work, ask the director for two more.

Before Chen Ming really tried to communicate with the phase beast, Chen Ming asked the director a question: "Is there any way to observe the phase space in the normal universe?"

Speaking of this, the director has experience, but he gave Chen Ming a negative answer: "No way, otherwise we don't need to study the phase ship luminescence technology."

Chen Ming nodded and said: "Then I have no problem."

"Well, the ship at the test site has not been withdrawn yet. Do you need to cooperate with your robot in the future?"

"It shouldn't be necessary for the time being. I only need to take away a guard-level phase ship."

"No problem, this should be given to you."

"Then I should be free today. Is there anything else I can do at the institute?"

Although Chen Ming still has to go to the Psychic Research Institute to continue the previous project, he thinks that these projects of the Ship Research Institute are also extremely important. He must devote more time and energy to the Ship Research Institute.

According to the current situation, Chen Ming felt that he had to spend one day at the Ship Research Institute and one day at the Psychic Research Institute, or even half a day and half a day.

He could not imagine that he only had to squeeze time to do different things in different time periods in a day, but now the prosthesis can enjoy this treatment.

It was a headache, but there was nothing he could do.

Phase space, dimensional infection, and weapon development against the psychic hive network of the mechanical race were all things he had to do, and he could not escape.

And the director was waiting for Chen Ming to say this.

He immediately took Chen Ming to other experimental sites.

Then, at the Ship Research Institute, Chen Ming's prosthesis just had to cooperate to complete a few experiments.

And Chen Ming's main consciousness returned to the body immediately.

After sending the intercom given by the director to the body through psychic energy, Chen Ming was ready to try to communicate with the phase beast.

He used the sound that the phase beast had emitted before, which could not be heard by ordinary people or even psychics.

Chen Ming's body has not been idle, and has been studying this sound.

Now he has roughly figured out the reason why only he can hear this sound.

It is because only he has been exposed to the Scarlet Dimension.

The sound made by the Phase Beast is related to the power of the Scarlet Dimension.

And just after Chen Ming associated his own voice with the power of the Scarlet Dimension, he can also make that unique sound.

He can use this sound to communicate with the Phase Beast.

This strange discovery made Chen Ming even more curious about the relationship between the Phase Beast and the Scarlet Dimension.

He really wanted to understand the Phase Beast and find out what kind of species they are.

In addition, when Chen Ming communicated with the Queen of Insects who could not speak, he had already mastered the way of communicating through voice through vague intonation and emotional attitude.

So even if Chen Ming did not understand the language of the Phase Beast, he should be able to communicate with the Phase Beast.

The next key lies in the attitude of the Phase Beast.

Will it be hostile to Chen Ming because he has entered the Scarlet Dimension, or will it become friendly?

No one knows, and you can only know it by trying.
