Chapter 364: Harvest, Planning, Death Torpedo

All the things that needed to be explained were explained, and all the things that needed to be dealt with were dealt with.

Chen Ming's main consciousness returned to the Yuhui Fleet that was being developed.

He returned to the highest point where he had always been accustomed to staying.

He greeted Huihuang and Chaofan, and played with Xiaoshi for a while.

By the way, he used this short time to do some more things in the mechanical star field.

After doing all this, Chen Ming lay directly on the bed, reduced the proportion of consciousness borne by the consciousness bodies in other places to the minimum, and closed his eyes.

In this way, converging the consciousness bodies in other places can make his consciousness relax the most.

He really needs a rest.

Even if he has no body now, the consciousness body needs to rest after a long period of busyness.

Especially during the period when he was fighting with the mechanical race, his average daily rest time was not even more than two hours.

He really needs a long-lost rest.

Chen Ming cut off most of the ways to contact him, and let his consciousness enter the drowsy state of dormancy.

Time came to twenty-four hours later in a blink of an eye.

Chen Ming got up in high spirits.

The first thing he did after waking up was to count the gains.

Chen Ming's purpose of participating in the war and clashing with the mechanical race has always been very clear, which is to gain benefits in the war.

And the benefits he gained from defeating the mechanical race are also obvious.

If we look at it from a larger material level, the biggest benefit he gained this time is the colony of the complete mechanical race capital galaxy that he took away at the end.

Everything in this mechanical race star field is included in this colony, whether it is data or what a colony or any mechanical race colony should have.

It pointed out the future development direction of his mechanical race to Chen Ming.

The mechanical race is one of the basic sources of Chen Ming's power system at this time.

The star map document also confirmed that the existence of the mechanical race is extremely powerful, and it will never be wrong to cultivate your own mechanical race.

Having such a colony can save countless trial and error costs and time.

The value is immeasurable.

In addition to this colony, the second most valuable thing should be the star gate.

It was not just the star gate that Chen Ming had taken away in front of the mechanical race some time ago, but also another star gate in the mechanical race's capital galaxy that he had taken away yesterday when he played with Xiao Shi for a while before taking a break.

After all, star gates must be used in pairs, and he would always find a way to get another one.

There was a ready-made opportunity, and he could not let it go.

The value of the star gate, in addition to its own value.

It also lies in opening up an efficient, fast, and large-scale material transportation route between Chen Ming's mechanical race galaxy at the border of the empire and the place where his pioneering fleet arrived.

This does not require a large amount of his mental power like Chen Ming is now transporting materials to the front line, but only requires a large amount of energy.

For Chen Ming, who has a large amount of energy source provided by the Zerg, the demand for energy is nothing.

Although the movement when the star gate is activated is not small.

It is not a movement visible to the naked eye, but a movement of space fluctuations on the scale of the universe.

At that time, Chen Ming will have to deal with the problems on the empire side.

But it won't be a big deal.

Chen Ming is no longer afraid of anyone or any force.

Periodic large-scale transportation of materials is still very valuable to Chen Ming.

After all, although the scale of the pioneering fleet is expanding very slowly, it is still expanding. Transporting materials every day will also take up a lot of his free time. It is very meaningful for Chen Ming to save this time and mental energy to do other things.

It just so happens that Chen Ming's Zerg unit has also begun to expand, and the efficiency is also very terrifying.

The expansion process of the Zerg is the process of devouring planets and developing planetary resources.

Under normal circumstances, the expansion of the Zerg devours all the resources of the planet.

But at Chen Ming's request, the Queen of Zerg controlled this situation, which means that a lot of resources will be collected when the Zerg expands.

Many of these resources will be provided to the pioneering fleet.

But there are also some resources that the pioneering fleet cannot use, or there are too many resources that have nowhere to use.

These resources can be concentrated at the temporary base of the pioneering, sent back to the empire through the star gate, and sold back to make a profit.

Although Chen Ming's ability is already very strong, so far, money is still very important to him.

It's not like the money is just a number.

So the Stargate has multiple values ​​for Chen Ming.

The second valuable thing is a giant structure that Chen Ming took away when he took the Stargate from the Mechanical Clan.

The giant dock of the Mechanical Clan.

Chen Ming has been thinking about this thing for a long time, and he also took it away when the Mechanical Clan's defense force was empty.

With it, there is capital to build a main battleship.

After the strategically valuable things, the two complete motherships of the Mechanical Clan and the wreckage of seven damaged motherships are the next valuable.

Chen Ming had already thought of the use of the two complete Mechanical Clan motherships.

One will be given to HR, the strongest individual of Yuhui in combat at present. It is the Yuhui core that Baiquan obtained on the battlefield where the Empire and the main forces of Yuhui fought.

After a period of adaptation, it will surely make the mothership play its due value.

Chen Ming plans to give the other mothership to the Queen.

After the recent affairs with the mechanical race, the Queen finally has some free time.

It can finally start to eat various things, such as the phase behemoth scales that Chen Ming had obtained some time ago, to obtain new genes.

Of course, it can also assimilate the battleship.

The day when the Queen successfully assimilates the battleship, that is the day when the Zerg can mass-produce the battleship.

When the Zerg can mass-produce the battleship, then there will be no one in the world... at least around the empire area, who can restrict him.

This will not be a very distant thing.

As for the wreckage, it will become Chen Ming's test product in the process of mastering the battleship-level technology.

In addition.

Chen Ming also has a weakened destruction core after leaking some of its power.

The power of destruction is very strong, but not the kind of strength that Chen Ming needs.

He wants to make his own power stronger.

However, it is still okay if the destruction core is only used as a weapon.

The mothership driven by HR can continue to use the Destroyer as a weapon, but its power will be slightly weaker than after it was used by Chen Ming and part of its power was dissipated.

As a battleship-level psychic weapon, even if it is weaker than before, it is more powerful than any other battleship-level weapon of the same level.

It's like the person who originally ranked first suddenly lost more than ten points, but still far exceeded the second place by more than a hundred points.

And Chen Ming estimated that he would not encounter any situation that required the battleship to be dispatched for a long time.

After the Destroyer Core, he might even feed it to An Wuping and become one of the powers of An Wuping's special prosthesis.

So the value of the Destroyer Core is somewhat subjective.

There is no denying its own value, but for him who does not need to fight often, or does not need to fight battles at the battleship level often, the value of using it is indeed not high.

Just put it there for now.

In addition, Chen Ming has another thing in his hand that is in a similar situation.

It is the corpse of a phase behemoth leader who has been in the scarlet dimension for a long time and has powerful power.

This thing gave Chen Ming a headache before, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The Zerg didn't need to eat all the genes of the Phase Beast, just a little bit would be enough.

Even if they only ate the scales that the small phase shed before, they would probably be able to get all the genes. It was just that Chen Ming was more worried that the Queen would not be able to eat the scales of the small phase, so he planned to feed the Queen some extra flesh and blood.

Although this was somewhat dangerous, it was still worth doing, and Chen Ming had enough backup to prevent danger.

But this would only eat a little of the patriarch's body.

There were still tens of thousands of meters of corpses lying there, and I didn't know how to deal with them better.

But this was the situation before.

Now, after Chen Ming combined another thing that bothered him, he gradually had a somewhat crazy idea.

Chen Ming has been struggling with the problem of choosing his first battleship.

He wanted a powerful and perfect battleship.

Then why not try it on the corpse of the Phase Beast patriarch?

Transform the corpse of this powerful creature into a war machine and a battleship.

The clan leader himself possesses the same dimensional power as Chen Ming, and has a very good affinity with Chen Ming.

Then, as long as he integrates other powers he possesses during the transformation process, wouldn't he be able to create a truly perfect battleship for him?

The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more feasible it was. He had already mastered the semi-biological and semi-mechanized transformation technology before. After a period of study and expansion, there would be absolutely no problem in applying it here.

Of course, there is no rush to start this matter directly.

There are too many things to consider when manufacturing a battleship.

Not only the design of the ship itself, but also the difficulty of manufacturing main weapons, as well as more technical issues.

The manufacture of a battleship is not something that can be done on a whim, and it also needs to be built with matching giant structures.

Chen Ming's spiritual ability can master the use of giant docks, but mastering it alone is definitely not enough for his ideas.

Mastering the use of giant docks can use docks to manufacture ordinary battleships, but it is absolutely impossible to use an ordinary giant dock to manufacture a battleship that is semi-biological, semi-mechanical, and even has dimensional power.

These technologies need to be accumulated with experience.

Chen Ming wanted a perfect, or close to perfect, battleship. As the first battleship under his control, he had to treat it with the highest standards and never take it easy.

So Chen Ming's idea was not to rely solely on the technology he had mastered.

He had many people to find, to ask them to help him develop a powerful battleship.

There was nothing wrong with cooperating in the development of a big project like a battleship.

Apart from these external gains.

The rest was Chen Ming's own gains.

He used the power of the Destruction Core and the catalysis of the Ship Spirit to integrate all his own power, making his power no longer independent, and the strength had also changed significantly compared to before.

Although he lost all his resonant spirit stones and a spirit-eating stone.

But the Calamity Core formed by the integrated power source can just offset these losses.

Compared with the external gains, the Calamity Core, the source of Chen Ming's power, is obviously more important.

The overall gains are probably just these.

Although there are no larger scales, such as galaxies and planets, that can be directly attributed to his gains.

But the things Chen Ming got have made his future development path smooth.

Chen Ming finally looked back at his gains and confirmed the direction of the next move.

He was ready to reshape his body first.

Although the pure consciousness body is very convenient, he is still more accustomed to physical activities.

Chen Ming had this idea, and the consciousness body immediately came to the Queen of the Worm.

After all, the Queen of the Worm is very close to Chen Ming at this time. She is expanding the worm nest on a planet in the galaxy of the temporary base of the development.

Chen Ming does not need to control any Zerg units to meet the Queen of the Worm. He can come here with a little movement.

It is not too troublesome to create a new body. After all, the Queen of Zerg has made so many prostheses that it has memorized Chen Ming's gene sequence.

But this alone is not enough.

Chen Ming's idea is to build a basic body based on human genes, and then let the Queen of Zerg stuff some additional body parts that have been strengthened to be more suitable for the human body into the body.

He still wants to be a human, not a worm.

All organs are based on his own genes, and some special effects are achieved by imitating the functions of Zerg organs.

In addition, Chen Ming also prepared some nanorobots for himself.

Like the units of the mechanical family, he relies on nanorobots to repair and maintain himself.

At the same time, it can also improve his physical fitness to a certain extent.

This is also the technology that Chen Ming has mastered after mastering more and more robots. It can be regarded as an experiment on himself before using it in other units in batches.

The toxic substances discharged by nanorobots can be uniformly treated by Zerg organs to make these toxic substances harmless.

Not to mention reaching the level of physical strength of An Wuping, at least his body should not be killed by any random weapon.

Although he is no longer afraid of his body being killed, it is still troublesome to rebuild his body if it dies too easily and casually.

It took more than ten minutes to prepare his body.

Chen Ming also plans to start from today to practice his idea of ​​using the corpse of the phase behemoth leader to build a new battleship.

But before starting this kind of work that takes a long time and a lot of investment.

Chen Ming remembered the last thing he had not dealt with before.

The ruins.

It was because of the ruins that Chen Ming and the mechanical tribe had a full-scale conflict, which forced Chen Ming to wipe out the main forces of the mechanical tribe.

Later, the mechanical tribe had no spare energy to explore the ruins, and Chen Ming would not be idle and suddenly run to other places to make trouble when he was in a great advantage on the front battlefield.

So the ruins are still preserved today.

He went to see it, but he couldn't forget this place.

Chen Ming immediately dispatched several cruisers newly produced by the Queen Zerg and jumped to the galaxy located by the mechanical race.

This was a place that the mechanical race did not develop immediately before, but only marked.

But Chen Ming did not find any threats in the initial investigation.

Now he even drove the cruiser over, but did not find any problems in the galaxy.

Of course, this did not affect Chen Ming's investigation of the ruins of the shining civilization.

He did not even need to let the Zerg cruisers land.

He directly let several cruisers throw down some substances controlled by his psychic power.

Let these substances go deep into the ground, and according to the data of the ruins investigated by the mechanical race, the location of the ruins was confirmed.

Then Chen Ming found that the ruins of the shining civilization were a very modern laboratory.

There was nothing to say.

The afterglow core was transmitted and the ruins were under his control.

Chen Ming first looked at the ruins, which were the defense facilities of the laboratory of the shining civilization.

They are some independent mechanical guards who are not connected to the honeycomb network of the mechanical race, and the logic running program is locked and cannot be changed.

They are only responsible for guarding the interior of the laboratory.

But they seem to have guarded nothing. The entire laboratory is a mess, and there are traces of Thorn Zerg activities everywhere.

I don’t know if they are here to track down the pollutants of the mechanical race.

Anyway, Chen Ming did not see any corpses of the main species of the Shining Civilization.

The Zerg that invaded the laboratory was most likely destroyed in the end. The corpses were thrown outside and turned into mud after a few years. There is no clue to tell.

In short, there are no survivors in the laboratory.

But there is one place in this laboratory that makes Chen Ming feel very strange.

In addition to the mechanical race, the laboratory’s defense means also include some independent nanorobots that are not installed on the mechanical race.

The program settings of these nanorobots are not simply to protect the laboratory, but have an independent command.

Destroy the mechanical race.

Chen Ming didn't understand why this happened. He didn't know if the programs of these nanorobots had broken down after so many years, or if there were other reasons.

He couldn't figure it out.

However, there were still some valuable things in this laboratory, such as the data of the objects studied by the laboratory, and the samples of something it had studied.

When he saw the name of the sample he got, Chen Ming suddenly felt that most of the gains he had obtained in this war were not even as valuable as it.

Because the thing that the Shining Civilization studied was called [Resurrection Mechanical Fluid].

It was not a liquid for resurrecting the mechanical family, but an item that used a cluster of nanomachines with a liquid appearance to resurrect the dead.

As long as there was a corpse, even if there were only a few cells left, resurrection would definitely not be a problem.

Although it was unclear why such a thing would appear at the border of an area that was relatively different from the current academic belief that the main star field of the Shining Civilization was occupied.

But he was indeed the crystallization of the Shining Civilization's technology.

To be honest, this thing didn't mean much to Chen Ming.

He didn't know any important people who needed this thing, although it was not bad to keep it, after all, who knew when birth, aging, sickness, death and accidents would come.

Others are not like him, who can still survive after losing their bodies.

The value of keeping it is immeasurable.

And the value of releasing it may cause the entire empire to go crazy.

Chen Ming quickly got a sample of the mechanical fluid.

He stared at the can-shaped object with a mechanized structure and a transparent outer wall in his hand, and could see the mechanical fluid flowing inside.

No one would have thought that this was something that could revive people just by looking at the appearance.

Although Chen Ming didn't know whether this can of resurrection fluid was still effective and whether it could revive humans, if Chen Ming's psychic power was not a problem, this thing would have such an effect.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming felt more and more bizarre.

If this thing was developed by the empire, it must have come from the Fanchao Research Institute.

It is impossible to come out of a random laboratory that looks ordinary on the border.

But the Shining Civilization has really become like this.

It is very puzzling.

Maybe Chen Ming will have time to go to the Shining Civilization Research Institute to learn some information later.

Now...

Before Chen Ming was about to put away the resurrection mechanical fluid, he suddenly remembered something his boss had said to him.

Some words about a person the boss once knew and called "little crazy" by the boss.

Chen Ming didn't know much about this little crazy.

But when the boss talked about this little crazy, his tone was very nostalgic and regretful, and the person seemed to be dead.

With this resurrection mechanical fluid...

Chen Ming thought about it and made a decision.

A few minutes later.

Hardware store in the pirate space station.

The boss picked his ears and asked Chen Ming: "What did you say you got?"

"Resurrection mechanical fluid, as long as there is a corpse, you can resurrect a person."

After being shocked, the boss returned to his usual self: "Oh, then why did you tell me this?"

"Because you mentioned a person called Little Crazy before."

The boss was stunned for a moment, shook his head slightly and said: "You actually remember what I said casually..."

"Him..."

"I told you before that I like to find people to train everywhere, and he is the last person I trained."

"He may be dead, at least when I found him, I only saw a little burnt ash."

"I don't know if it's him, but... I have to try, right?"

The boss suddenly sighed: "This is also what I didn't tell you before, one of the reasons why I left the prosperous star field of the empire."

"So how did he die?"

"I don't know if you have heard of something that happened decades ago."

"Several Reaper torpedoes used by frigates sank the battleship."
