Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 333 Progress and the Mechanical Clan's Planning

“That’s good.”

Chen Ming’s tone was very casual.

He didn’t pay too much attention to the president’s words that he would go down in history.

His goal was never to go down in history, but to live well, to live freely.

"But this is the lifelong goal of many people."

"That's it."

Chen Ming casually replied to the president again: "I think the later research results are more important, I want to know more."

The president seemed to just mention it casually, and did not continue the topic he mentioned, but followed Chen Ming's words and said: "It depends on you."

"Fan Chao Research Institute has never been stingy in sharing the results of their research, but whether you can understand it is not a problem they have to consider."

"I will understand it."

Chen Ming responded confidently, and then asked: "But then again, Fan Chao Research Institute only made things related to phase technology? Isn't there any interest in the research of dimensional infection?"

"Of course I am interested, but dimensional infection is something that is difficult to make progress even in Fan Chao Research Institute."

"What about the special psychic you just mentioned?"

"If you have a person who can research and send the entire space station into the phase space device in one day, would you let him get in touch with dimensional infection?"

The answer is obvious.

"So Fanchao Research Institute has no advantage in the research of dimensional infection. They even came to me to ask questions about this matter."

"Although Fanchao Research Institute is indeed very powerful, don't over-mythologize them. There are things they can't do."

"We are the defenders of dimensional infection."

After chatting with the president for a while.

Chen Ming ended the communication.

The prosthesis was arranged to continue to work on the affairs of the two research institutes.

Chen Ming must start to make up for the phase technology of the Ship Research Institute immediately, whether it is used in subsequent experiments or in the future war with the mechanical race, it is necessary.

The research progress of anti-mechanical weapons, or anti-mechanical psychic honeycomb network weapons, that Chen Ming is currently working on at the Psychic Research Institute is also very important at the time when Baiquan has decided to go to the front battlefield.

All of them are things that Chen Ming can't escape.

And he also has things to do on the main body side.

The first of course is the research on sample zero.

This guy is beyond Chen Ming's expectations.

Because it was in a half-dead and disabled state from the beginning, it was hurt by its own mechanized structure every moment, and it was recovering every moment because of the strong vitality of the Zerg individual.

Before, its recovery speed was not as fast as the speed of self-injury. It can be said that Sample 0 was moving towards death every minute and every second.

In such torture, the body tissue of Sample 0 was actively adapting to the damage from itself.

By constantly eating the energy crystals provided by Chen Ming, it continued to accelerate the speed of recovery.

In this way, this guy actually managed to survive to this day.

Even its overall state is better than it was after the incomplete transformation. It has a shocking vitality.

Originally, Chen Ming was still thinking about how he would get a few more half-mechanical and half-biological Zerg units to study if Sample 0 died.

Because Chen Ming has been transforming new Zerg units in the past two days, but it is different from the situation of Sample 0.

Most of the samples failed to survive the transformation experiment.

Those who survived often died within a few hours or even minutes because of the severe injuries that could not be recovered.

None of them could persist like Sample Zero.

If Sample Zero was gone, Chen Ming really couldn't make another half-mechanical, half-biological sample that could survive for research in a short period of time.

But fortunately, Sample Zero is still alive.

And through the comparison of those dead samples with Sample Zero.

Chen Ming also learned a lot of points to pay attention to when making half-biological, half-mechanical structures.

He understood the importance of the reasonable proportion of mechanical structures and biological structures, and knew what kind of structural proportion can maintain the half-mechanical, half-biological structure, and operate and survive for a long time.

These are all knowledge that can be used in the subsequent complete transformation experiment.

Chen Ming also took some time out to study the mechanized Zerg architecture.

It is to use pure mechanized structures to meet all the needs of certain development stages of Zerg individuals.

It is similar to some factories that manufacture biochemical products, but the factories that manufacture biochemical products are changed into factories that directly manufacture organisms.

Then let the queen transform that factory.

Previously, Chen Ming had always asked the Queen to build a biological factory directly, but the difficulty of biological construction was a little beyond the expectations of Chen Ming and the Queen, and there was no progress.

So Chen Ming had this idea.

And in the past two days, he had built a mechanized breeding factory for energy crystal insects through his understanding of the breeding process of the Zerg. The larvae and adults were cultivated in one go, which was very smooth, and it was much easier than building biological buildings.

He even built more than half of the mechanical breeding factories for the types of worker insects that the Queen often used.

These factories can breed a complete Zerg unit from larvae, perfectly realizing the needs that should be realized by biological factories.

The only problem now is that these mechanical buildings cannot be integrated into the hive. They can only exist as independent buildings, not as part of the hive.

So Chen Ming is now eagerly waiting for the queen to complete her evolution to transform the buildings and connect them to the hive's biological raw material transport vessels.

Coincidentally, Chen Ming also learned some knowledge about the mutual transformation between machinery and biology from sample zero and those transformed samples that died directly.

This knowledge can be used to guide the queen to quickly transform mechanical buildings into biological buildings.

Even Chen Ming feels that he does not necessarily have to let the queen completely transform mechanical buildings into biological buildings.

In his opinion, the fusion of mechanical buildings and biological buildings is the most appropriate development direction in the future.

If the Zerg units have various problems whether they are mechanized or semi-mechanized due to the production quantity and cost.

Then the biological buildings, which are relatively small in number and exist as the key structures of the hive, have no problem enjoying some mechanized conveniences.

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Ming has completely given up mechanical buildings and biological buildings.

His idea is that he wants all mechanical buildings, biological buildings, and fusion buildings.

Different structures have different adaptive environments. It is the right approach to use the right technology in the right place.

In addition to the research on semi-mechanical and semi-biological structures.

Chen Ming has also been studying the mechanical awakening nerve these two days.

Of course, he is not studying the function of this thing. The mechanical queen has told him most of the information about this thing.

What he is studying now is the manufacturing method of this thing.

At present, through the research report on mechanical psychic creatures revealed by the mechanical queen, Chen Ming has already known that the mechanical awakening nerve is not transformed, but directly manufactured.

As long as the internal psychic energy is changed, the ability of the mechanical awakening nerve can be changed.

Therefore, the key to the mechanical awakening nerve lies in the psychic energy. The mechanical nerve outside can only be said to be the basis of the mechanical awakening nerve.

Since it is not the key, but the basis, and the technical level it possesses is relatively low compared to what has been obtained before.

Chen Ming feels that with his current ability, he can try to master the manufacturing technology of the mechanical awakening nerve.

This is not a mechanical biological converter. The converter involves nanorobots, and the technical level is exaggerated to an outrageous level.

But if it is just the mechanical awakening nerve, Chen Ming may still be able to learn it.

However, at present, he can only say that he is struggling to replicate it.

The complex structure of the fusion of psychic energy and mechanical structure requires various traction, locking and even processing methods that Chen Ming has never understood for the internal psychic materials, which is very troublesome.

Thanks to Chen Ming's entry into the Scarlet Dimension once, he has mastered a lot of refined psychic control techniques through the knowledge of the Scarlet Dimension, otherwise he would really be in the dark.

And from his understanding of psychic energy, these technologies are all experience-based technologies systematically summarized by the Shining Civilization, not just based on talent like the psychic itself.

In other words, as long as Chen Ming goes to study, these technologies are very likely to be learned.

But Chen Ming has no plan to do so now.

So he can only explore, study and try to replicate it himself.

Although it is very difficult, as long as he succeeds, Chen Ming's mastery and understanding of psychic energy will definitely have a lot of improvements that he can thoroughly digest.

And he can also really obtain batches of mechanical awakening nerves.

He can implant these mechanical awakening nerves into some Zerg bodies.

Zergs have various abilities. If they can have various matching psychic effects, or cultivate Zergs with mechanical awakening nerve abilities.

Then in ground combat or even space boarding combat, Zergs will definitely play a greater role.

The value and significance of this are self-evident.

In addition, Chen Ming also gave Lu Kang more than a dozen mechanical awakening nerve samples, asking them to study them on their own.

They had previously cooperated with Chen Ming in the research of purgatory cores, synchrotron cores and catalytic cores.

These are the top researchers who have been found by the Legion from different places to study the mechanical race, and of course they can study the mechanical awakening nerves.

At that time, the results of their research can also become an aid to Chen Ming's research.

It seems that the Mechanical Race Research Institute of the Legion has been pitifully borrowing mechanical awakening nerves from the Extraordinary Research Institute these two days.

After all, the Legion's fleet has just swept through the wreckage of the Mechanical Race galaxy and is still on the way back to the headquarters.

As a result, the Mechanical Tribe Research Institute was quite jealous when they heard that Chen Ming's Extraordinary Research Institute had obtained the Mechanical Spiritual Enlightenment Nerves in advance through Chen Ming's psychic power.

Even after they were turned down by Lu Kang, the director of the Mechanical Research Institute, Wu Hao, who Chen Ming had met before, came to borrow two from Chen Ming in person.

After all, Chen Ming and Wu Hao knew each other before and there was no conflict.

Chen Ming always had to respect the older generation of people who studied the Mechanical Tribe.

Of course, the two Mechanical Spiritual Enlightenment Nerves that were borrowed also helped Chen Ming get some information that only people inside the Mechanical Research Institute could read, as well as a share of the scientific research funds issued by the legion.

Chen Ming would definitely not lose out.

In addition to the mechanical awakening nerve and related research. Another thing Chen Ming is doing is targeting the Black Mist Psychic.

The status of the Black Mist Psychic has been determined before.

They can survive, but not many.

A psychic can indeed survive after the removal of the awakening nerve, but will fall into a deep coma for about three months.

In essence, it is no different from being dead. In order to make use of the last remaining heat of the Black Mist Psychic, Chen Ming had decided before that he had to find a way to transform the Black Mist Psychic into one of his prostheses.

The method is also very simple, that is, to use the Zerg.

There is a kind of Zerg called parasite in the Zerg unit.

Of course, this parasite is not the kind of parasite that can only cause problems to people, but a Zerg that is so powerful that even the mechanical race can parasitize it.

It played a very critical role when Chen Ming attacked the planet of the mechanical race.

Now, this parasite has become stronger after many generations of cultivation by the Queen. It is a very simple matter to implant it into the body of the Black Mist Psychic and gradually assimilate the Black Mist Psychic into a part of the Zerg.

And the parasite has been implanted long ago under Chen Ming's arrangement, and the transformation process is already underway.

As long as the transformation is completed, the existence of the Black Mist Psychic will completely disappear, leaving only Chen Ming's prosthesis.

However.

Chen Ming is not yet ready for what to do after the transformation is completed.

His plan is to make the Black Mist Psychic a prosthesis for him to test the ability of the three after the fusion of biological, mechanical and psychic energy after the transformation is completed.

Now there is a biological organism, even if the Queen is evolving, Chen Ming can control many of the Queen's powers.

But the machinery and psychic energy are not settled yet.

Chen Ming wants to experiment with the semi-mechanized structure and the implantation of multiple mechanical psychic nerves on the Black Mist Psychic.

But now he doesn't dare to put the Black Mist Psychic into the one-third of the transformation equipment.

Not only because the results of the large number of failed experiments that Chen Ming has conducted on those Zerg units are warning him.

It's also because he really used his own prosthesis. That is to say, there is no Zerg gene, it is just an ordinary person's prosthesis that has been stuffed into the transformation equipment for testing.

I can only say that the result is a little bit bad.

All of Chen Ming's ordinary prostheses do not have the strong vitality of Zerg units.

In other words, once there is a problem in the transformation process, there must be a big problem there.

Those prostheses usually die suddenly, and there is no possibility of survival.

And the transformation process of the equipment on people seems to be very special.

It does not start from the body surface and limbs, but from the organs in the body.

And this organ does not include the brain, which seems to be the last organ to be transformed.

The reason why it is said to be seems is that ordinary prosthesis experiments have problems in the first step of transforming organs, and the prosthesis has no time to transform too much and died.

And the brain is an organ that all prostheses remain intact when they die, so Chen Ming guessed it this way.

As for the others...

I can only say that these corpses can't be studied at all. Even if the belly is cut open, at most a pile of bloody and messy metal parts can be dug out.

This transformation process, which is completely different from other creatures, also makes Chen Ming a little unsure.

He could only watch the corpses of unknown creatures with his face being sent to the digestion pool every day, but there was no progress.

So Chen Ming couldn't stuff the Black Mist Psychic into it now.

Besides, in addition to transforming the Black Mist Psychic, Chen Ming also wanted to transform the Awakening Nerve extracted from the Black Mist Psychic, turning it into the Black Mist Core and some Black Mist Spiritual Energy.

Chen Ming has also been thinking and preparing for the past two days.

But transforming the Awakening Nerve also requires complete facilities, and if you want the facilities, you have to rob the mechanical tribe.

Although Chen Ming has some experience in robbing the mechanical tribe, his imperfect experience may sometimes be a pitfall.

In addition, he was really too busy in the past two days.

The mechanical Zerg building and the replica of the mechanical Awakening Nerve took up a lot of his time and attention. Chen Ming could only arrange the Zerg to do the transformation of the Black Mist Psychic and his Awakening Nerve and the transformation of the Zerg unit. He had no free time at all.

Not to mention arranging the raid plan.

It just so happened that the only thing left for the mechanical Zerg building today was to complete the verification process.

The mechanical awakening nerves also happened to have a replica experiment today, which only required hands and no brain.

So Chen Ming could spare some brains... No, it was the capacity of consciousness that was used in this regard.

And if he wanted to attack the mechanical race.

The first thing to do was to refer to the opinions of the Mechanical Queen.

Two days ago, Chen Ming threw a mechanical colony to the Mechanical Queen for her to manage. After two days, the management should have begun to show results.

The Mechanical Queen should also have extra computing power to help Chen Ming do some things.

Chen Ming's consciousness switched and came to the mechanical colony that belonged to the Mechanical Queen.

Before, there was only one city here, but two days ago, it has become a whole mechanical city complex.

And because Chen Ming robbed a pioneering colony of the mechanical race, Chen Ming's mechanical colony now has almost everything he needs.

Whether it is various buildings to support infrastructure, factories to produce mechanical races, or raw materials, even the mechanical races themselves, they were all packed up by Chen Ming before.

A new development started in a new place.

Although the mechanical race's planet is very different from Chen Ming's planet, some problems occurred when the colony was violently relocated by Chen Ming.

For example, some buildings that were originally mechanical race mines were not located on the mines after being moved away by Chen Ming, and useless ore was excavated.

Or the original transportation routes were destroyed by some uneven or loose terrain.

These problems are very common.

But as long as they are modified and relocated, the problems can be solved quickly.

Not only the problems were solved, when Chen Ming came here today, the entire colony had expanded by about 10% in area compared to before.

This was only two days of work.

And judging from the various increases that Chen Ming obtained from the mechanical race's hive mind network, the number of mechanical races has also increased significantly.

At least in terms of number, it is almost catching up with the time when the Queen of Insects entered the prosperous period of expansion.

These changes are the results of the Queen of Machinery, as the main controller of the colony, constantly adjusting.

Before that, Chen Ming simply gave the Mechanical Queen a task to manage the colony.

The Mechanical Queen handled it so perfectly, and she must have the same ability and efficiency when doing other things.

Chen Ming observed his thriving mechanical colony for a while, and then contacted the Mechanical Queen.

Because the Mechanical Queen was just a pure machine, Chen Ming did not chat with the Queen of Insects or Brilliant Supernatural like he did with the Queen of Insects, but went straight to the point.

He provided the Mechanical Queen with the fleet strength, external environment, and the war situation between the entire empire and the mechanical race.

And his need to use violent means to seize the mechanical psychic biological conversion facilities of the mechanical race.

After providing this information to the Mechanical Queen.

Chen Ming asked the Mechanical Queen to analyze it.

Through the Mechanical Queen's understanding of everything about the mechanical race star field and its powerful ability, a roughly usable raid plan was analyzed.

Then Chen Ming would take this plan and find a suitable person or Yuhui Core to modify it.

You can find Baiquan or HR. One is a vice admiral of the Empire, and the other is an Alpha-class afterglow core that can control the battleship.

HR was slowly influenced by the means arranged by Chen Ming after a long period of bad relations with Chen Ming. Now it has also expressed its loyalty to Chen Ming.

In short, with their assistance, a reasonable plan can definitely be produced.

If it really doesn't work, Chen Ming will ask both sides, and then combine some two different modification plans to determine the final plan.

Chen Ming thought so.

However, the reply he got from the machine queen was not what he thought.

After analyzing for a while, the machine queen did not give Chen Ming's action plan to attack the mechanical race, but a full page of situation analysis.

The analysis was not about the possibility of Chen Ming's attack, but the possibility of what the mechanical race might do next.

Judging from the report given by the machine queen.

The mechanical race did not rescue the galaxy where the phase behemoth was rampant.

They did not seize the time to develop the remains of the shining civilization when Chen Ming and the empire were focusing on a certain galaxy.

There was no obvious action on the front line between the empire and the mechanical race star field.

This is very abnormal.

It is impossible for the mechanical race to have no reaction to what is happening in their star field at this time.

They must be planning something.

Combined with what the mechanical queen has learned, the mechanical race star field here is connected with the mechanical race star field in other places, and other mechanical race star fields also provide additional support.

According to the analysis of the mechanical queen, the reason why the mechanical race did not take action is very likely.

They are planning actions against Chen Ming.
