Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 351: Pointless Attack

"What is the exact location? How many attacking fleets are there?"

Bai Quan reported a coordinate to Chen Ming, and then said: "Through the preliminary data from there, it can be basically confirmed that there is a mothership equipped with two energy ridge peak guns and a soul killer."

"With thousands of cruisers, about 3,000 destroyers and about 2,000 frigates."

When Chen Ming heard about the psychic ridge peak weapon, he immediately recalled the first large-scale simulated battlefield he participated in.

His opponents used the mechanical mothership to attack his hometown from the rear, killing all his teammates and destroying several planets.

The mechanical mothership at that time used the psychic ridge peak weapon, the soul killer.

It can release a mental pulse that drives all creatures on the entire planet crazy.

Even in the simulation, it is a tragic scene. If such a thing happens in reality...

Chen Ming subconsciously glanced at Bai Quan's expression and found that he was not too anxious or nervous. It seems that such a bad thing should not happen.

He felt relieved, but after hearing the total number of fleets, he couldn't help but ask, "Is that all?"

"That's all?"

Bai Quan stretched out his voice and asked with a question mark on his head, "Why do I feel that you have some misunderstanding about military power? Those are battleships, thousands of cruisers, think about the scale of the battle we fought when we rescued you from Yu Hui."

After saying that, Bai Quan suddenly seemed to realize something and stared at Chen Ming carefully.

"..."

Chen Ming recalled carefully in silence. Although the rescue operation failed for various reasons, the scale of the fight with Yu Hui was indeed not small.

Several battleships and tens of thousands of fleets fought each other in the Yu Hui star field.

It can only be said that this may be an illusion given to him by the fact that he casually controlled hundreds of thousands of mechanical cruisers a few days ago and could control more in two days.

"What is the situation now?"

"Don't count too much on the galaxies in the edge star field. Their defense can only delay the mothership at most. But our fleet has already set sail, and a psychic team has already gone there. If everything goes well, there will be results soon."

Hearing this, Chen Ming immediately had several questions in his mind: "The location of the mechanical race's attack is not far from us, so aren't they sending this mothership over?"

"And is the psychic team you mentioned the same as the one you mentioned before? What kind of psychic power does that psychic have?"

Bai Quan answered Chen Ming's questions one by one: "Who knows what the mechanical race is thinking? There is no decent resistance on the front line until now. After the first counterattack, the result was actually in this position. I always feel that they have something else planned. "

"As for the psychic team, it is indeed made according to the standards of the Empire, but they are our own people in the legion. Psychic power is to control electrical signals."

"Oh? It feels like this is a psychic power that specifically restrains the mechanical race."

"Yes."

Bai Quan nodded and said, "Very interesting psychic power, a rare psychic power like yours that relies on artificially created technology as its basis, and there is another very coincidental thing."

"What is it?"

"You will know soon."

Bai Quan said all the way, and took Chen Ming to the center of the command center, next to Qiu Bowen, to the position of the deputy commander-in-chief.

In addition to the position of the commander-in-chief, there should be only two deputy commanders here, one for Bai Quan and the other for another lieutenant general who is not here now.

However, there is one more unknown here this time, which is obviously assigned to Chen Ming.

You can see that there are five light screens of different sizes on the central control console in front of Qiu Bowen next to him, showing various extremely complex data.

Chen Ming started learning command techniques a long time ago, and now he can probably understand the contents on these screens.

The light screen in the middle of the five screens shows the star map of the galaxy that Bai Quan said the mechanical race raided and the nearby areas, and you can intuitively see the fleet being dispatched there.

And not only are there various symbols representing different meanings moving on it, but there are also more and more new data being added.

The data from the front line is being transmitted back, and new data is constantly being updated.

The two screens on the left are a complete star map of the border area between the Empire and the Mechanical Race.

From this screen, it can be seen that the Empire has pushed the front line into the interior of the Mechanical Race star field, creating a clear concave shape.

The location where the Mechanical Race attacked the Empire this time is at the edge of this concave shape.

On the other screen is the star map of the Beniu star field, as well as some data reported from the Beniu branch.

After all, Beniu can now be regarded as the actual control star field of the 14th Corps, and it is also the fleet stationing area before the war breaks out completely.

And it is also an extremely important logistics base for the front-line military, and of course it must always be kept in touch and concerned.

On the right side, one of the two screens is a summary of the battle reports sent back in real time by the headquarters in the galaxy invaded by the mechanical race.

The other is a summary of the overall intelligence about the war sent by all the people in the command center who are in contact with the commander-in-chief.

The people in the command center can make decisions based on the summary of this intelligence.

The five screens together are dazzling.

Fortunately, Chen Ming is a psychic, and his strong mental power also makes his consciousness stronger, so he can easily distinguish the contents of different screens.

But if it is an ordinary person, the effort required to learn these is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Chen Ming glanced at Baiquan, and then retracted his gaze.

Due to the changeable situation on the front line, the rear command center only needs to issue general orders, and the follow-up still depends on the performance of the front line.

But just when Chen Ming thought that there was nothing to do at the command center and he could do his own things.

A wave of psychic energy suddenly appeared out of thin air in the command center.

A layer of light curtain covering the psychic energy wave suddenly condensed beside the control console.

It was the electric signal psychic.

Although the electric signal should only remain in the line under normal circumstances, it is not impossible to spread it out of thin air due to the existence of psychic energy.

Then convert the electric signal into other forms of signals, such as the current light signal, and send it back to the command center. Chen Ming was not surprised.

Anyway, it is to use psychic energy to play a similar effect as Chen Ming, transmitting the things recorded by the equipment controlled by him in other places.

This ability is useless in normal times.

But in wartime, on battlefields where communication equipment is limited, this ability is very useful.

The chaotic light signals gradually arranged in the air, projecting a complete picture in front of Chen Ming and others.

A person appeared in the picture, and the background was that he was in a spaceship.

Through the porthole behind the picture, you can see the starry sky outside and the battlefield where the fire is being exchanged.

Through the starry sky positioning, Chen Ming can determine that the current position of this psychic is within the galaxy attacked by the mechanical race.

And the battlefield outside should be the galaxy's own patrol fleet to prevent the soul killer of the mechanical race mothership from hitting the planet, resulting in irreversible consequences, so they chose to go out in advance.

Do not rely on the defense weapons of the space station outside the planet to fight, and block the mothership out of range.

It can be said that life is delaying the time for the mothership to advance.

Chen Ming immediately glanced at the screen in front of Qiu Bowen.

It can be seen that a fleet led by the offensive class that set out from here by Garo has arrived at the galaxy attacked by the mechanical race.

Fortunately, the reinforcement fleet from Galo arrived in time. The mothership confrontation could not endanger the planet in a short time.

The rest was to see who won the battle between the two fleets.

Retracting his gaze from the porthole and the screen composed of electrical signals, Chen Ming immediately noticed the appearance of the psychic who sent the signal back.

"Oh, it's him."

Chen Ming had seen this face before.

In the first official cooperation between Chen Ming and Bai Quan.

At that time, Chen Ming provided Bai Quan with the coordinates of a new star ship under construction and asked Bai Quan to attack to help him attract Yu Hui's attention.

At that time, Bai Quan came with two main battleships, and the first wave of offensive only killed one of Yu Hui's battleships.

But failed to kill the new star in the giant dock next to it.

So he proposed a plan to send a special operations team to infiltrate.

This plan was crazy and suicidal.

But it finally succeeded with the help of Chen Ming.

And the psychic in front of him was the one who communicated most with Chen Ming at the beginning, and was responsible for electronic technology-related tasks.

Chen Ming remembered that he was an ordinary person at that time, but now, he has become a psychic.

His name seems to be... Lu Bai.

When Chen Ming saw Lu Bai, Lu Bai also saw several people in the command center by reversely receiving the electrical signal from the command center.

He was a little stunned at first, and suddenly said to Chen Ming very excitedly: "Mr. Chen!"

Qiu Bowen's expression twitched subconsciously, because Lu Bai in front of him was obviously from the legion, but when he received the signal, he did not talk to him, the general, the current commander-in-chief of the front line, but talked to Chen Ming.

But he didn't want to say anything, he didn't want to conflict with Chen Ming now.

Chen Ming couldn't take the initiative to lose Qiu Bowen's face at this time, and said: "Long time no see, Lu Bai, let's do business first."

After hearing Chen Ming say his name, Lu Bai seemed even more excited and responded: "Yes!"

Lu Bai didn't say much, and continued to perform his task after stabilizing the signal exchange.

As Lu Bai's ship moved, Chen Ming noticed through the porthole that his ship was now outside the ecliptic plane of the galaxy, trying to approach the mechanical family's mothership from a strange angle.

Chen Ming whispered to Bai Quan: "Are you trying to cut off the mothership's electrical signal transmission?"

"Yes."

"Lu Bai's psychic strength is only level three, and the connection with the command center is achieved through a device, but if he wants to use his psychic power, he can only find a way to get close to the mothership."

"He can use psychic power to block all signals emitted by his spacecraft, which is close to the effect of invisibility."

"Then rely on the fleet in the past and the defense force inside the galaxy to attract firepower, and there is a high success rate for lurking in the past."

Chen Ming said: "This is too dangerous. If it fails, the legion will lose such a psychic."

"It is dangerous, and the loss may be great, but now he has no opportunity and time to grow."

"What kind of danger you face, what kind of gains you will get when you succeed."

"Don't forget what mission he performed when he met you before. For him now, this mission is even simpler than that one."

"That's right."

Chen Ming didn't say much. Everyone had to be responsible for himself.

The people in the legion were all war maniacs, the kind who were not afraid of death for victory. He didn't need to say much.

Just silently watched Lu Bai rely on psychic power to disguise the spaceship he was riding, step by step approaching the mechanical family's mothership.

After getting close enough.

Lu Bai's spaceship stopped. After communicating with the captain of the offensive-class ship in the galaxy, he stimulated his own psychic power.

At the same time, it acted on the shield system, engine system and weapon system of the mothership.

Although Lu Bai was only a third-level psychic, his psychic effect was not particularly strong.

But when facing the top-level high-precision spaceship of the mechanical family's mothership, a little signal error could cause problems with important equipment.

The mothership's shield began to flicker, and the effect of the linked shield dissipated immediately.

The amplification matrix of the three ridge cannons close to the gun head also malfunctioned, and all the energy acting on the ridge cannons was poured into the air, wasting it.

However, its engine suddenly lost its temperature detection ability. Although the temperature at the engine had exceeded the normal temperature, the mothership's engine still showed no signs of slowing down its output efficiency, which eventually led to the melting of the engine circuit. The engine nozzle on one side of the spacecraft could not be shut down, and the spacecraft began to spin in place.

Although the psychic energy is very weak, as long as it acts in the right place, the effect will be infinitely magnified.

A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole.

Lu Bai is now an ant digging out an ant hole on the dam of the mechanical mothership.

However, he was not drowned by the wave that broke the dam, but retreated smoothly while achieving his goal.

Only the mothership that suddenly had a serious malfunction during the high-intensity battle with the Empire's main battleship was left.

The first battle was a victory.

This was the first battle between the Empire and the Mechanical Clan with the participation of the main battleship, and the Empire won.

The Mechanical Clan's raid was defeated soon after.

None of the mechanical spaceships chose to retreat, and all were destroyed in the galaxy.

The mothership was also sunk, and soon a special salvage ship would take away the wreckage of the mothership for research.

Qiu Bowen looked relieved, and he turned off the two screens and signaled Bai Quan to take over.

When Qiu Bowen turned his head, Chen Ming noticed a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

Qiu Bowen did come a few days earlier and took over the work on the front line in advance.

But he is a level 6 psychic.

Isn't this a bit stressful?

Chen Ming looked at Bai Quan, an ordinary person, with some concern.

But Bai Quan said nothing, and after handing over the work to Qiu Bowen, he signaled Chen Ming to do whatever he wanted.

Then Chen Ming had nothing to say, Bai Quan must have known.

After reminding that the mechanical race might have other actions in the future, he left the command center and went to his dome on this planet, the base of the Extraordinary Research Institute.

Before the last trip, Chen Ming assigned the task of testing the effect of the catalyst produced by the catalytic core to the people in the institute.

Until Chen Ming came back now, almost everyone was still conducting tests.

Everyone was very excited because the effect of the catalyst produced by the catalytic core was almost omnipotent.

As long as it was an effect that people could imagine, the catalytic core could produce it, it was just a matter of how much it produced.

It could catalyze almost everything in the world and increase the efficiency of all actions.

Of course, such a powerful effect also had its negative side.

That was the raw materials.

Catalysts need raw materials to be produced.

And these raw materials are actually consumed, and some are very difficult to find.

And all the catalysts produced will eventually be annihilated naturally, which is equivalent to the entire world's matter will completely disappear when used, instead of entering the reincarnation of matter.

Although it sounds serious, it is not a big problem, because Chen Ming knows that some psychics can use psychic power to create matter out of thin air in the real world. If there is loss, it can balance the world.

Of course, this is actually nonsense, anyway, no one will care about the loss of those materials.

After returning to the laboratory, Chen Ming continued to let people test and study.

And he himself put his consciousness back to his body.

At this time, two days had passed since the phase beast entered the dangerous place.

Chen Ming had actually tried to call yesterday, but there was no response.

He would try again today. If there was still no response, he would have to find a way to try to enter

Once again, on the edge of the mechanical star field, a robot was sent over to a habitable planet using the scarlet dimension.

After waiting for about an hour, just when Chen Ming's heart had begun to sink to the bottom of the valley.

A wave of transition suddenly appeared above the planet.

The phase beast appeared in front of Chen Ming again.

More wounds appeared on its body again, and some purple blood was even flowing out of the wounds, gradually turning into nothingness in the medium of the phase space.

Chen Ming could see with his naked eyes that the phase beast was in a very bad state and was seriously injured.

But it still held a piece of scarlet meat that was larger than the previous two times combined, and placed it in front of Chen Ming's robot.

Chen Ming knew that the food of the phase beast was the scarlet meat, and he also knew that the phase beast could recover by eating the scarlet meat.

He immediately modified the robot, making the robot's size larger than that of the phase beast.

The robot grabbed the scarlet meat and wanted to stuff it into the mouth of the phase beast.

But the powerless phase beast suddenly began to struggle desperately again. It resisted eating and wanted to give the food to Chen Ming.

And as the phase beast struggled, more blood gradually overflowed from its body.

Chen Ming finally had to give up stuffing the blood and flesh into the phase beast.

It had no choice but to use the last resort.

Chen Ming took out the terminal and made a call.

"Boss."

"I'm ready here, anytime."

The boss responded to Chen Ming decisively.

But Chen Ming was a little nervous at this time.

Because the transmission of the scarlet dimension requires the creatures in the scarlet dimension to shield all their senses to avoid receiving the knowledge of the scarlet dimension and causing the collapse of consciousness.

For ordinary people, ordinary creatures, and even low-level psychics, Chen Ming's psychic power can directly cover their consciousness and prevent them from being hurt.

But for the boss, Chen Ming's psychic power cannot cover the boss's consciousness, and the boss has to shield all his means of external perception.

And there is another very important situation.

That is, the person teleported by Chen Ming is affected by Chen Ming's psychic power.

Let Chen Ming bring people to the scarlet dimension, and use the unequal relationship between the time and space of the scarlet dimension and the normal universe to pull people out instantly.

Although it is a moment, Chen Ming has never teleported a powerful psychic, and it is not sure whether there will be any accidents.

And he can actually do something in this process.

Sending people into the scarlet dimension and not pulling them out is basically equivalent to directly sentencing them to death.

So letting Chen Ming teleport through psychic power is equivalent to handing life to Chen Ming's hands.

And although the boss has been helping the president with all kinds of work related to dimensional infection.

But his aversion to the scarlet dimension is very clear, and he doesn't want to be contaminated at all.

But when Chen Ming asked him for something, he knew that he needed to go through the scarlet dimension, and he agreed without much consideration.

Even if Chen Ming told him all the problems, the boss didn't choose to refuse.

The boss's trust made Chen Ming a little stressed now.

But he quickly calmed down and reached out to the boss with the robot left at the boss's side.

Psychic stimulation.

The next moment, the boss appeared safely in the phase space where Chen Ming's robot was.

The boss opened his eyes and smiled at Chen Ming's robot.

Then he looked around, looked at the sky, and looked at the phase beast next to him.

He finally took a look at the watch on his wrist that had lost the signal, and said, "Interesting."

The phase beast did not make any new movements after noticing that a stranger appeared next to Chen Ming's robot.

Because the boss was teleported by Chen Ming using the power of the scarlet dimension.

Moreover, it was too tired.

This time, the Phase Beast did not face the rejection of the thick nerves like tentacles as before.

Of course, it may also be that it was too tired and painful to resist.

Let the boss grab the arm of Chen Ming's robot and reach out to touch its body.

In an instant.

Chen Ming's consciousness was pulled by the power of the boss and wanted to leave his body.

Chen Ming did not resist this force, and the boss still took part of his consciousness away from the robot's body and entered an unknown place.
