Chapter 360 Choice
Except for Chen Ming, no one knew what An Wuping and Luo Yi talked about after the meeting.
However, Chen Ming was very satisfied with what An Wuping and Luo Yi talked about.
At least his goal was achieved.
Not only did everyone treat An Wuping and him as two completely different people, but he also successfully put the blame of the Black Mist Zerg on Zuo Jing.
After dealing with An Wuping's Zerg problems, Chen Ming decided to pursue the victory, relying on the Zerg fleet of about a million in his hands, and taking advantage of the time when the Mechanical Clan had just suffered a large wave of losses, to capture the Destroyer Mothership of the Mechanical Clan in one go.
At this moment, the boss suddenly called: "I saw the bugs you sent over contacting those biological ships, but they were a little slow. Some people have already got the samples."
"It doesn't matter, they are just some samples. They can't target me. Besides, I have reached an agreement with the Empire to share some biological ship technologies with it."
"You? Oh, An Wuping, right?"
"Yes."
"That's fine."
After the boss finished speaking, he didn't hang up the phone, but asked Chen Ming again: "Speaking of which, it seems that you have never had a capital ship? The mothership here is still parked. Do you want to take it?"
"Also, do you remember that you brought back a Yuhui radiation-class ship before? I asked the association to help manage that radiation before. If you need it, I can also help you get it back."
"Uh..."
Chen Ming hesitated and said: "Actually, I have a capital ship in my hand."
And it was the two motherships of the mechanical family besieged by the black fog insect family that I just got.
Just now, after destroying the mechanical mothership's resistance, Chen Ming used psychic energy to send the mothership away, but he did not control it.
As for the reason...
"Because this is the first battleship I control anyway, I don't want to choose it casually."
The boss spoke a little louder: "Don't want to be casual? Is the battleship casual?"
"How should I put it..."
Chen Ming explained that he had taken away two mechanical motherships, and said: "And I actually have a special feeling."
"That is, the first battleship I control must be a powerful warship, the stronger the better, and the closer it is to me, the better."
The boss asked: "What do you mean? Battleships have different applicable environments and capabilities, how to compare strength?"
"I don't know, it's just a feeling, I even think it's best to build one myself."
In short, it was this special feeling that made Chen Ming not control them in a psychic sense after controlling the mechanical motherships in a physical sense.
He looked down on the mass-produced motherships of the mechanical family.
At most, he would take it back to repair it, and then the HR at home could drive it directly.
Then the other mothership can be directly fed to the queen.
Although HR's control of the mechanical mothership is considered as Chen Ming's indirect control of it.
But just like Chen Ming could actively use the power of the afterglow core to indirectly control the warships beyond his power limit.
He can now actively not transform the warships indirectly controlled by the afterglow core into warships controlled by himself.
Even if he is not a mechanical mothership, but the radiation-class one that the boss said.
He now looks down on it.
In fact, Chen Ming had considered the boss's battleship before, and he believed that if he really asked for it, the boss would not refuse to give it to him.
But he didn't say it in the end because of this feeling.
The boss had no opinion on Chen Ming's strange attitude. Instead, he said, "Actually, I told you this because you told me before that you are stuck at a bottleneck and need an opportunity to continue to break through the limit."
"So... is this the opportunity you are talking about?"
Chen Ming shook his head: "I'm not sure. I just felt this way when I was controlling the battleship."
"That's good. Just believe in yourself. I won't give you useless advice."
"It's best if you do this kind of thing yourself. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you have enough ability now. If you have the opportunity, you must find the one that suits you best."
"You don't have to rush. You are only 26 this year and there is still plenty of time."
"I know."
"Well, call me if you need it."
Ended the communication with the boss.
Chen Ming confirmed his thoughts again.
He really wanted a battleship, but that didn't mean he had to control the two motherships.
He just needed the battleship to serve as a combat force or to feed the queen.
The first battleship he really controlled must be an extremely powerful battleship.
This may affect the upper limit of his psychic power after breaking through the limit to a certain extent.
He actually had some ideas about the main battleship, but it would take time to realize it.
Judging from the power he currently has, he still has this time.
A few dozen minutes later.
Chen Ming recovered and was refreshed.
After completely dealing with the problem of the Black Mist Zerg in the empire, he also confirmed the whereabouts of the Destroyer mothership of the Mechanical Clan.
The Mechanical Clan did not let the Destroyer continue to stay in the logistics area, but went to the core galaxy of the Mechanical Clan star field.
This is the place that can be called the capital of the mechanical race, a galaxy with the highest degree of development and growth of the mechanical race.
The Destroyer mothership arrived here.
This may be because the mechanical race is worried that if the Zerg explodes again, the Destroyer will not even have a chance to retreat.
Although it is the core area of the mechanical race, from the results of Chen Ming's reconnaissance, the military forces in those core galaxies are only those that just exchanged fire with his Zerg.
The middle and lower-level spacecraft of the mechanical race have basically been destroyed by Chen Ming.
Only the fleets on the front line that are still fighting against the empire, and the motherships in the rear that were only nine after being fought by Chen Ming's Zerg.
At most, the orbital defense facilities of each mechanical colony planet can be counted.
And the mechanical race does not seem to have the idea of transferring back the front-line troops.
So although the mechanical race is still fighting against the empire, it is obvious that they have lost their resistance and can only rely on the remaining motherships as combat power.
As long as Chen Ming has another week... or even four or five days, he can create a Zerg fleet that is enough to wipe out the entire Mechanical Clan star field alone.
However, doing so will not benefit Chen Ming, as it will lead to a direct conflict between him and the Empire.
And the Mechanical Clan does not seem to want to give Chen Ming this time.
Because just when Chen Ming used the matter he controlled scattered in the galaxy to investigate.
He found that the Destroyer mothership of the Mechanical Clan had moved again after arriving at its destination, the core galaxy of the Mechanical Clan, and continued to go to the logistics area where the Zerg might wreak havoc later with other motherships, and continued to guard there.
If it were just that, it would not be a big deal.
But the key point is that when this mothership left the galaxy, its spine gun was replaced.
The Destroyer was disassembled and left on a planet inside the core galaxy of the Mechanical Clan, or in a space station, or a giant dock.
In short, the Destroyer is no longer on that mothership.
It is not clear what the Mechanical Clan is going to do.
Chen Ming feels that this is not like replacing the mothership where the Destroyer is installed.
Because the mechanical race should not have other motherships at this time.
Not to mention the motherships specially modified to suit the Destroyer for phase space combat.
The mechanical race may have other actions to dismantle the Destroyer.
Although it is good for Chen Ming to dismantle the Destroyer, at least it is easier to control, and the Destroyer Core that is not installed on the ridge peak gun bow should not be as dangerous as the Destroyer.
But that is only relatively speaking. The Destroyer Core itself is a product of the scarlet dimension infection.
It is a dangerous thing in itself.
Chen Ming's danger perception psychic power has been reminding him of the dangers of the Destroyer and the Destroyer Core inside.
Although Chen Ming can now be regarded as a conscious body, this psychic power will still play a key role when the body encounters danger.
So he knows what the Destroyer Core means.
But he doesn't know what the mechanical race wants to do with the Destroyer Core.
He must investigate.
However, at present, in the mechanical race's territory, especially in the core galaxy, there is only a little metal that Chen Ming secretly brought here to monitor.
And the defense line of the galaxy itself is quite tight.
Whether it is a strong attack or infiltration, the efficiency will not be too high.
But he has another choice, phase space.
Chen Ming's idea of using phase space has been in his mind for a long time.
He tried it once just now, but unfortunately the idea of attacking the Destroyer mothership directly in phase space eventually fell through, but the device that sent things from the normal universe into phase space was still in his hands.
He still has a chance to try again.
The mechanical race may prepare devices in the galaxy to detect whether there are invaders in phase space, but they can never stuff all their military forces into phase space.
Especially the mothership, the radiation energy dissipation system of the main battleship is often very efficient in order to keep up with the use of main weapons.
Entering phase space is equivalent to destroying one's own arm.
Although the mechanical race has modified a mothership to be suitable for phase space combat, it is impossible for every mothership to be modified like that.
Therefore, invading from phase space is the most appropriate means at present.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Ming had some problems with the efficiency of the device he borrowed, he even wanted him to conduct every invasion of the mechanical race from phase space.
Of course, Chen Ming didn't think much about this impossible thing that had already happened.
He just silently gave orders to the Queen.
Waiting for the sudden jump fluctuations in the core star system of the mechanical race.
Moreover, this jump fluctuation appeared in the phase space and the normal universe at the same time.
Chen Ming certainly did not have time to send all the Zerg warships into the phase space, and naturally there would still be many Zergs in the normal universe.
These Zergs could not do nothing, so Chen Ming simply asked the Queen to send these Zergs out together.
A fleet was immediately assembled in the core star system of the mechanical race.
This time, the number and scale of Chen Ming's Zerg fleet could not reach the effect of completely blocking the jumps in the nearby areas, so the motherships that were originally in other star systems also jumped back to the core star system immediately.
Participated in the battle.
The number of Zerg fleets left by Chen Ming in the normal universe is about 700,000. It is not enough to face the fleets and orbital defense facilities in the most important galaxy of the mechanical race and nine motherships at the same time.
But the Zerg fleet in the phase space makes up for this.
Even if the mechanical race has the means to enter the phase space, there are also modified warships that can fight in the phase space, and even the mothership that was previously equipped with the Destroyer was sent into the phase space again.
But it is meaningless.
The power of the mechanical race in the phase space is too weak compared to the power of the normal universe.
Without the Destroyer, the mothership alone is no longer destructive to the Zerg.
On the contrary, under the heavy siege of the Zerg, the mechanical race mothership in the phase space became the first mothership to be sunk in this outbreak in the core galaxy of the mechanical race.
Without the mothership, everything in the phase space of the mechanical race was destroyed, and all the equipment and facilities that could help the mechanical race observe the phase space were completely wiped out.
Only the Zerg can continue to stay in the phase space, occupying an absolute advantage.
And when the mechanical race lost control of the phase space.
The battle was completely one-sided.
The Zerg fleet had the overall command of the Queen, and the coordination between the warships in the normal universe and the warships in the phase space was so good that it was beyond Chen Ming's expectations.
Especially on such a large-scale battle front now.
The Zerg biological warships occupied their advantage in the phase space, just like the destroyers of the mechanical race occupied the phase space and destroyed the Zerg fleet before, and in turn destroyed the mechanical fleet.
Those enemies that were invisible to the mechanical race seemed to be slaughtered unilaterally.
Even if the mechanical race's mothership was powerful, it was meaningless. They could not stop the Zerg in the phase space that could not be observed from attacking their warships from any angle.
They could only shrink their defenses and compress their movable space, hoping to rely on the effect of the mirror image in the normal universe in the phase space to block the Zerg fleet from exerting its capabilities.
But it was meaningless.
Because Chen Ming's goal was never to completely kill the mechanical race by relying on the phase space.
But it was for the destruction core on the planet.
It didn't matter how fierce the battle in space was, even if the Zerg lost in the end.
He only needs to send the things affected by his psychic energy to the planet.
It is the same whether in the phase space or in the normal universe.
The mechanical race can notice the fighter planes falling from space, but it is impossible to notice the metal atoms falling from space.
If the mechanical race can monitor the atoms of a planet, then this level of technology would have destroyed the empire long ago.
And when the war shifted from the empty area in the galaxy to the sky above the planet, and when the mechanical race needed to rely on orbital defense facilities to fight, the outcome was actually doomed.
The metal liquid composed of the silent alloy affected by Chen Ming's psychic energy fell smoothly to the surface of the planet.
In the process of gradually approaching the surface, Chen Ming suddenly found that he could clearly and clearly sense the location of the destruction core.
Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, even if he didn't even know what the state of the destruction core was just now.
But he could feel it.
This means that the destruction core is now being activated, so that the psychic fluctuations after its activation are sensed by Chen Ming.
This is not good news.
No matter what the mechanical race activates the destruction core for, he must rush over immediately.
Chen Ming used the properties of the silent alloy to cover up all the psychic fluctuations it emitted, and flew quickly along the extremely clear traces of the destruction fluctuations at this time.
He could observe that the surrounding environment had begun to disintegrate with the emergence of the destruction fluctuations.
The mechanical race seemed to have begun to self-destruct again.
Chen Ming once again made the metal liquid speed up its action, and finally arrived at the source of the destruction fluctuations before the influence of the destruction fluctuations was truly released.
It was a platform suspended in the air in the center of the mechanical colony relying on a certain stand.
The platform itself seemed to be made of some extremely strong special-grade material with psychic properties.
It was able to maintain its own structure under the influence of the destruction fluctuations.
In addition to the protective structure composed of layers of transparent silent alloy materials, there were also various densely arranged devices that could monitor the platform and the area around the platform without any blind spots.
The entire platform was completely protected.
On the platform, there was a special engine supplying
The reason why it was special was that the fuel used by this engine was antimatter.
This is an antimatter engine. This device uses antimatter to function.
The mechanical race has already used the antimatter technology leaked by someone so quickly.
Come to think of it, the mechanical race should have mastered these technologies before. They don't need to start research and development again. They just need to inherit the legacy of the past.
The use of antimatter technology is normal.
But this does not mean that this kind of device that needs antimatter to power it is normal.
When the destruction core and antimatter are put together, it is clear that there will not be any normal things that will be used by the mechanical race.
The base of the device powered by antimatter looks like some kind of jump device to Chen Ming.
Connected to a certain coordinate.
At the top of this device, there is a spherical object that is restrained by some kind of position.
It seems to be breaking everything around it.
That is the destruction core that Chen Ming has been thinking about for a long time.
Antimatter energy is continuously supplying the base under the destruction core.
The mechanical race is definitely going to do something special and dangerous.
Chen Ming feels that it is because he has shown the ability of phase space before. The mechanical race knows that if they delay any longer, they will definitely not be able to beat Chen Ming, and even the entire cluster may fall into his hands completely.
That's why they do such a thing.
But Chen Ming suddenly has another question. Is the thing on this platform really the destruction core?
Is it possible that the real destruction core releases destruction waves in a nearby place, and then the mechanical race deliberately releases this bait to lure him into being fooled?
While Chen Ming was observing, he sent more silent alloys to the core planet of the mechanical race, to the vicinity of the destruction core.
These silent alloys built a hole underground, and in this hole, his body suddenly came here.
And just when Chen Ming's body came here,
The danger-sensing psychic power that only his body possessed took effect instantly.
He did not sense any danger from the destruction core that the mechanical race had placed.
The real danger was deep underground.
There was the real location of the destruction core.
The destruction core on the surface was really just a bait used by the mechanical race to attract him.
Just as Chen Ming was thinking about the reasons why the mechanical race did what they did and what would happen if they did this.
His danger-sensing ability suddenly took effect.
He no longer only sensed danger from deep underground. At this moment, he even sensed a thorough sense of danger from the stars in the galaxy.
Could it be that the mechanical race's idea was to use the destruction core to interfere with the operation of the stars.
Destroy the entire galaxy at the cost of the end of the life of the stars?
What if they self-destructed here?
Chen Ming thought about this possibility carefully and found that it was not impossible.
The mechanical race must have known that his goal was the destruction core by now, so they would definitely not think of letting him take it.
The mechanical race had done several things before that destroyed themselves in order to prevent Chen Ming from getting benefits. Of course, there was such a possibility this time.
Of course, Chen Ming couldn't do that to the mechanical race.
The Destruction Core was the most powerful psychic item he could think of at the moment, and he had the ability to use destruction.
Not to mention that the mechanical race had also developed a means of using destruction as a weapon.
So it was impossible for him to give up destruction.
He had to stop the mechanical race from doing what they were going to do.
Chen Ming's metal liquid no longer followed the source of the destruction wave, but followed the source of the danger sensed by his body.
Soon, he found a laboratory deep underground.
This research institute, like the devices on the surface, was fixed in an underground void by a certain position.
And there was a device in this research institute that was almost mirror-symmetrical to the devices on the surface.
At the bottom of this device, there was the Destruction Core that gave Chen Ming a real sense of danger.
Chen Ming didn't approach directly.
Because he could feel a restrained, restrained wave of destruction in the void surrounding this laboratory that was fixed in the center of the underground void by a position.
This void was not dug out, but was destroyed by the destroyer.
If he wanted to contact the device, he had to think of another way.
Chen Ming calmed down and observed the laboratory himself.
He found that the device in the underground laboratory looked slightly different from the device on the surface.
On the underground device, Chen Ming could see an energy bar slowly advancing.
And there was nothing on the surface device.
Obviously, when the energy bar is full, the mechanical race should really start.
Although it seems that Chen Ming still has a lot of time, because the efficiency of the energy bar filling is quite slow.
But he can't bet on whether the mechanical race may change its plan due to the situation of the battle in space during this time.
Moreover, the mechanical race is using the antimatter engine to power this device. Chen Ming finds it difficult to imagine what will happen if this device is finally activated.
The sense of danger around him has completely filled Chen Ming's perception, leaving him with only one choice.
Break in by force and seize the destruction core.
