Chapter 361 Destruction
Although the dark underground cavity cannot be directly observed with vision.
But the impact of destruction is as dazzling as a strong light.
Chen Ming must first find a way to break through the destruction zone created by the destruction core, and then he can deal with the laboratory that is constrained by the position in this underground cavity area.
To pass through this circle of destruction zone, he can either use high-intensity psychic special materials to resist the impact of destruction fluctuations like the mechanical race did, and force a breakthrough.
Or he can directly see through the essence of the mechanical race's approach and use pure psychic fluctuations to offset the destruction fluctuations.
The second method seems to be in line with the style of psychics.
But from Chen Ming's current point of view, the mechanical race is definitely using some technical means to stimulate the effect of the destruction core and construct this circle of area.
It is definitely not a rational approach to use one's own power to compete with the antimatter reactor and antimatter engine.
And the first method.
Although the special-level materials themselves are still quite rare.
However, since Chen Ming began to let the Zerg participate in the development of resources on the road of development, the development of special resources is no longer as difficult as before.
The Zerg he left behind on different planets where resources were discovered could breed efficiently, and of course they could also mine the resources on them.
Therefore, Chen Ming's resource inventory has increased recently.
Moreover, the materials that Chen Ming had developed and manufactured and used for the bio-powered armor some time ago were also changing with the changes in the inventory of materials and the evolution of the Zerg.
The bio-powered armor has always used top-notch special materials with psychic properties.
In other words, the method Chen Ming should choose now is actually the first one, rushing in directly.
Of course, Chen Ming is not so reckless.
He continued to use his powerful perception ability to confirm the internal environment structure of the laboratory.
Soon, Chen Ming ended the reconnaissance phase and thought about the steps to take after entering the laboratory in his mind.
He wrapped the psychic fluctuations around the inside of the armor to make up for the possible loopholes in the armor itself, and the psychic energy of the queen of insects also acted on him.
His body burst out with powerful strength and speed, breaking out of the ground from the stratum, rushing into the area covered by destruction, and rushing to the laboratory of the mechanical race.
The destructive psychic energy acted on the armor covering Chen Ming, reacting with the psychic properties of the armor material and constantly destroying the armor structure.
The destructive psychic energy would make Chen Ming's repair psychic energy ineffective, but Chen Ming could still manually control the materials to fill the damaged parts of the armor to offset the impact of the destruction.
The distance between the edge of the underground hole and the outer layer of the internal laboratory, that is, the width of the destruction zone, was not long.
With sufficient protection, Chen Ming relied on the powerful biological power armor to forcefully break through the destruction zone in just a moment.
He smashed the wall of the laboratory with a punch and entered the interior of the laboratory.
Although the process just now caused pits and pits on his biological armor, it also caused various conditions in which the psychic properties of some armor structures that were not damaged by destruction were erased.
But all the damage was restored as soon as Chen Ming left the destruction zone.
In the laboratory, the alarm sounded.
But there were no mechanical units on both sides of the pure white corridor where Chen Ming was at this time.
After all, the destruction zone is much stronger than the mechanical units. If someone can break through the destruction zone, then there is no point in using ordinary mechanicals to stop them.
Several simple defense systems inside the laboratory started automatically, but they were immediately shut down after Chen Ming reached out to control the laboratory.
However, he soon discovered that the laboratory was the laboratory, and the room inside the laboratory with the destruction core was the device, which was an independent structure.
He could not control it directly through the laboratory.
But the problem was not big. Since his main body came here, he planned to take the initiative to take risks.
Chen Ming stayed there for a while, wanting to see if the mechanical family had any further big moves.
But he did not encounter anything, as if the mechanical family did not intend to stop him, and let Chen Ming enter the laboratory and approach the device.
This situation made Chen Ming feel a little wrong, and he increased his vigilance in his heart and paid more attention to his ability to perceive danger.
But now there is a small problem, his consciousness has almost been completely covered by the sense of danger brought by the destruction core.
There is no way, after all, the power of the destruction core is the most terrifying.
He can only pay more attention to other dangers that are covered by the danger of destruction.
Under the dual effects of Chen Ming's perception and psychic power, Chen Ming opened a fast passage inside the laboratory between him and his target, the device with the destruction core installed.
It allowed him to reach the core area of the laboratory at the fastest speed.
Chen Ming was not obstructed by the mechanical race on the way.
Or it was not so easy to have it.
Not only did Chen Ming control the laboratory, but also because the outside of the laboratory was all destruction areas, Chen Ming needed a little effort to come in. Unless the mechanical race directly stopped the operation of the destruction core, they would have to face the same problem as Chen Ming.
The mechanical race did not seem to have such an intention, so they had no way to interfere later.
They let Chen Ming reach the center of the laboratory.
The destruction core exuding a terrifying aura was just ahead.
Before Chen Ming faced the impact of the destruction core, a large amount of silent alloy liquid suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, blocking him in front of him, forming two huge and heavy mechanical arms.
Chen Ming did not hesitate at all, controlling one of the mechanical arms to touch the device in the center, and the other stretched directly to the destruction core.
His intention was quite clear.
However, the mechanical family, which had been silent for a long time, finally took action before Chen Ming was about to end it all.
The device on the surface that Chen Ming thought was just for camouflage was suddenly activated, and a layer of psychic energy fluctuations that were visible to the naked eye and almost condensed to the essence penetrated all the substantial structures, forming a spherical barrier, which was blocking everything around.
In a blink of an eye, the underground, including the entire destruction area, the laboratory inside, and Chen Ming in the laboratory were all covered.
But just when this spherical barrier was about to be completely blocked, the last gap on its spherical surface was delayed in being completely blocked, and the efficiency of the psychic energy suddenly seemed to stagnate, but the equipment was running more violently than before.
The device on the surface seemed to have reached the edge of overload in just a few seconds, and was forced to open the shell of the device to dissipate heat.
At the moment the device was opened, a spherical object emitting strong psychic fluctuations could be seen from the gap between the shells.
This is also a psychic core.
And Chen Ming has already felt its specific effect.
At this time, Chen Ming, who was underground, felt a tearing sensation that rushed directly into the essence of the consciousness body at the moment the device on the surface was activated.
He immediately understood that the ability of the device on the surface was exactly the same as that of the device underground, but it was disguised on the outside to make Chen Ming misjudge.
Chen Ming mistakenly thought that the mechanical race was going to use the destruction core and the jump device to achieve a special effect.
The real function of the device on the surface is to activate the internal psychic core related to consciousness and block all consciousness around consciousness.
It is precisely because of its function that it conflicts with Chen Ming's consciousness.
And Chen Ming's consciousness in the body is not complete and complete.
His consciousness also exists in other places at the same time.
This resulted in the device being unable to completely retaliate against Chen Ming's consciousness, so the operation of the device was stuck and overloaded.
But the equipment prepared by the mechanical family was still trying its best to cut off the connection between his consciousness and other consciousnesses.
If his consciousness was really cut off, the impact would be extremely negative.
Although Chen Ming had been actively cutting his consciousness and throwing it into different bodies.
But these cut consciousnesses were all connected to each other and were part of Chen Ming himself. Only in this way could each consciousness body call upon complete spiritual energy at will.
If consciousness was cut, not only would the spiritual energy effect be limited, but it would also affect the structure of Chen Ming's consciousness body. For Chen Ming's current state, the consequences would be disastrous.
Chen Ming really couldn't get rid of the device itself in a short time.
He went straight to the real target, the core of destruction, at the beginning, and didn't touch the device on the surface that was obviously a trap.
The mechanical family was very clever to set another trap in this trap on the surface, causing Chen Ming to not pay attention to it at all.
The equipment on the surface was also powered by antimatter energy for a long time.
It is obviously not a rational idea to use human consciousness to fight against the antimatter reactor.
Although Chen Ming really wants to do this, his current condition does not allow him to do so.
Because his consciousness is very special.
His consciousness is like a ball of yarn. It is difficult to cut the ball of yarn in half directly.
But when Chen Ming's consciousness body, this ball of yarn, has several threads extending to different places and forming smaller balls of yarn.
It is much easier to cut off the connection between these small balls of yarn and the big ball of yarn.
Chen Ming is now equivalent to using the connection between the yarn balls to compete with the energy of the antimatter reactor.
There is no problem with a ball of yarn hitting a reactor, but it is better to think about it with a single thread.
If Chen Ming does not want to cut off the connection between consciousness.
Either he concentrates all his consciousness on the body, or he lets the consciousness on the main body leave, or he lets the mechanical family's device really cut off his consciousness.
The third option is directly ruled out.
Chen Ming probably has a few seconds to consider what to do.
In these few seconds.
A large mechanical arm made of Silent Alloy by Chen Ming has already touched the device underground.
However, this underground device also has problems.
Its shell and internal structure are separated, and controlling the shell alone cannot directly control the entire device.
In particular, the energy progress bar that Chen Ming saw on the shell before is also fake.
This progress bar is purely for deception. No matter when Chen Ming sees it, it will be an approximate progress.
This is a trick that takes advantage of people's psychology and disguises itself as a seemingly urgent thing with a progress bar, making Chen Ming think that he must stop it from working.
It is a trap used to lure Chen Ming into the underground, so as to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to block Chen Ming's consciousness.
The mechanical race really guessed that Chen Ming's body might not be the body, so they made such an arrangement.
Even if Chen Ming might have other consciousnesses, at least the part of his consciousness that ran here must be destroyed here.
Of course, Chen Ming was not surprised.
He knew from the beginning to the end that this would definitely be a troublesome trap set by the mechanical race.
But for the sake of the destruction core, he decided to step in.
Because he had really seen the power of destruction.
The other mechanical arm was still struggling to approach the destruction core and could touch it soon.
But Chen Ming also understood at this time that his mechanical arm would definitely not have time to touch the destruction core before the consciousness body was cut off.
Not to mention that he was only touching the destruction core instead of controlling it.
He had to make a decision.
Chen Ming did not hesitate any more, and a flash of blue and red flashed in his consciousness space.
Then he suddenly gathered all the scattered consciousnesses and summarized them all on the body.
At this moment.
The boss, who was processing the latest documents, suddenly stopped, looked at the robot next to him, and then looked at the terminal sent by Chen Ming in the drawer, frowning.
The robot controlled by Chen Ming in the headquarters suddenly stopped working, and the director of the Ship Research Institute and the director of the Psychic Research Institute, who were discussing the further development of phase ships and psychic energy at the meeting next to them, looked at it in confusion.
Chen Ming's prosthesis, who was in the front-line command room, suddenly lowered his head as if he was asleep and said nothing.
Qiu Bowen seemed to feel something, and his eyes were full of confusion and surprise when he turned his head to look at Chen Ming.
He immediately came to Chen Ming's side and shook Chen Ming's shoulders, and released his mental power to test it.
He came to a conclusion that shocked him.
An Wuping and Chen Ming, are they half-brothers?
This special situation immediately made him think of a special situation, the hive mind.
Chen Ming certainly knew what problems would arise if he suddenly took all his consciousness back to his body.
But the foreshadowing he had laid with An Wuping's identity was enough.
Only people would know that he had a mechanical hive network similar to An Wuping's insect hive network.
Even the structure of this mechanical hive thinking network was thought up by others, not by himself, in the eyes of the outside world.
He had already considered the consequences, and now he should do what he wanted to do because he was willing to bear the consequences.
Let's give it a try.
See what the mechanical trap has prepared for him.
Chen Ming completely gathered his consciousness, and at the moment when the consciousness blockade area was formed, he smashed the shell of the underground device with one fist, and reached out to control the more core structure.
But just as he smashed the shell, a sudden burst of danger attacked him.
His arm sublimated directly and disappeared into the air.
A group of dazzling matter made Chen Ming retreat dozens of meters immediately.
And he constructed a steel wall in front of him that completely blocked the laboratory structure, and the thickness was also dozens of meters.
He covered the charred gap of his broken arm and wiped off the armor material that had melted into molten iron due to the terrifying high temperature.
He continued to look at the laboratory through perception.
The other end of the laboratory had completely lost its basic structure, and only high heat and destruction remained.
The material that suddenly appeared just now was the core material of the star in this galaxy.
The device arranged by the mechanical family on the surface was not just a disguise, it really had its function and was really connected to the inside of the star.
The mechanical family did not just intend to send destruction to the star, their idea was to send the material inside the star here.
They used the power of the star to destroy the destruction core, so that the destruction core would burst out all the power contained in it when it was destroyed.
Destruction will destroy everything.
The destruction core has been damaged by the power of the star.
A wave of destruction that cannot be suppressed or restricted has begun to dissipate from the inside.
The power of the star was also destroyed by the destruction while activating the destruction.
Chen Ming did not think much about it and rebuilt his body and armor.
He then continued to build a larger layer of silent alloy armor on the outer layer of the biological armor. He was like a solid iron block, passing through the copper wall and iron wall he made, and approached the location of the destruction core.
Silent alloy can temporarily resist the influence of destruction, but the structure of the alloy was constantly destroyed as Chen Ming approached the destruction core.
He had called out all the silent alloy stocks and used them all at the moment to completely wrap up the destruction core.
The destruction core was like a source that was constantly spreading radiation, and Chen Ming was about to use heavy lead to limit it and then proceed with subsequent processing.
However, at the moment when his silent alloy wrapped up the destruction core.
The destruction core once again erupted with terrifying power, tearing apart the surrounding silent alloy and destroying everything around it.
Chen Ming reacted extremely quickly and retreated again, once again creating a solid wall that was enough to make the destruction sigh.
After this wave of destructive power ended, he quickly approached again and wrapped the destruction core again with the remaining silent alloy material.
This time, Chen Ming deliberately left a hole in one direction to allow the destructive power to escape.
And the Destruction Core also burst out with a force as before.
This force went toward the ground in the direction arranged by Chen Ming, completely destroying the devices left by the mechanical race on the surface.
The membrane that blocked Chen Ming's consciousness disappeared immediately.
If Chen Ming wanted to leave, he could leave at any time.
But he didn't want to.
He had experience in controlling the black fog core and knew that this kind of psychic core was very close to the spirit stone in nature.
He could try to use his own power to limit the Destruction Core in this area to restrain the energy that was escaping from the destruction.
Even though the effect of the destruction was terrible, while Chen Ming used his mental power to suppress it, it also caused damage to Chen Ming's own mental power.
Even Chen Ming's consciousness body had some scars on it.
But Chen Ming still didn't give up.
While suppressing the Destruction Core, which had not yet completely released its own power, he also let part of his consciousness disperse again to get help from other places.
He used all the means he knew to increase his mental power and the effect of psychic energy.
Whether it was the fairy tree, the spirit stone, the ship spirit, the condensed spiritual energy source, or the drugs and devices that stimulated mental power, he used all that could be used.
But the Destruction Core was becoming more and more difficult to suppress. The power of the star destroyed the structure of the Destruction Core, and even part of the destruction wave had spread to the surroundings of his scattered consciousness with the help of Chen Ming's consciousness.
If Chen Ming had not taken back all the consciousnesses before and only sent consciousnesses to his own territory.
At this time, there would probably be several places in the empire that would experience what he was experiencing with Chen Ming.
The creatures and the silent alloy composite armor on Chen Ming's body were about to be completely stripped away by destruction.
In the surrounding environment, even the concept of vacuum was being destroyed.
Chen Ming's surroundings had been destroyed into a "nothing" area by destruction.
Only Chen Ming and the Destruction Core were left.
Gradually, Chen Ming found that the power of the Destruction Core at this time was gradually weakening.
But this was not a good sign.
Because he found that the destruction was destroying the barrier between the normal universe and other dimensions.
Destruction is erasing the partition between the scarlet dimension and the normal universe.
Not only the scarlet dimension and the normal universe, but also the phase space and the normal universe have opened a gap.
The power of destruction is acting on space.
Even though the gap between the normal universe and the scarlet dimension is only less than one millimeter in diameter, the negative impact it brings is immeasurable.
The previous dimensional infection is actually the projection of the power of the scarlet dimension in the normal universe.
And if destruction continues to destroy the barrier between dimensions, the final result may be.
It is a dimensional invasion.
Chen Ming knew that he must not let this happen.
At the moment when his armor had completely collapsed, he reached forward and grasped the core of destruction in his hand.
His body was reduced to ashes in an instant.
But his consciousness still held the core of destruction firmly in his hand, and held the location of the space collapse where the core of destruction was at this time in his hand.
There were terrible scars on Chen Ming's consciousness.
But he still did not let go, but continued to hold the core of destruction tightly.
The injuries on his consciousness body not only kept appearing, but also kept repairing.
This was not only the effect of Chen Ming's mental power, but also the boat spirit was constantly helping him.
At this moment.
The boat spirit appeared beside him.
With him, various auras full of power appeared.
It was the phantom of the boat spirit that appeared here with all the resonant spiritual stones belonging to Chen Ming.
Frenzy, fear and resentment, and a soul-eating stone sent by Bian Gaoxuan.
Just as Chen Ming was wondering what the boat spirit was going to do, he saw cracks appearing on these spiritual stones that were extremely important to him.
The power of the spiritual stone was flowing out and gathering into Chen Ming's body.
Chen Ming looked down and saw that his third condensed spiritual energy source appeared in the center of his consciousness body at some point.
This was definitely something brought by the boat spirit.
The boat spirit and Chen Ming would rise and fall together, so he did not have any doubts about the boat spirit.
With a trace of heartache, he completely absorbed the power of the Madness Words Spiritual Stone that had been with him since three years ago, and also absorbed the power of several other resonance spirit stones.
For a moment, Chen Ming saw the phantom of Qianmian, whose power with resentment existed in the Resentment Spiritual Stone.
It should have helped Chen Ming to completely master the power of the Resentment Spiritual Stone when Chen Ming completely killed the brainwashing psychic of Zuo Jing.
But at this time, the last trace of power of Qianmian in the Resentment Spiritual Stone appeared here.
"Just die honestly, I will kill the real brainwashing psychic."
After Chen Ming's words fell, the phantom of Qianmian disappeared completely.
The power condensed in Chen Ming's body.
As long as Chen Ming was given a little more time, he could completely master the power brought by these resonance spirit stones with the help of the ship spirit, and rely on this power that completely belonged to him to control the destruction.
However.
Accidents always come faster than tomorrow.
At this moment, above the mechanical planet where Chen Ming was, a surge of jump fluctuations suddenly appeared.
Something was coming.
It was coming with a sense of danger.
Although this sense of danger was not so conspicuous in the sense of danger that had destroyed the barriers between spaces.
But it was very important.
The jump fluctuation ended in an instant.
Chen Ming did not see anything from the position where the jump ended.
He could only sense a force of scarlet and phase interweaving.
He knew what was coming.
