Chapter 376 Means

The robot controlled by Chen Ming appeared next to the body of the Plane Nightmare floating in the orbit of Gaia in a blink of an eye.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the skin of the body. Feeling the gravity from the Plane Nightmare's body, he covered the body with psychic fluctuations and penetrated the body from the outside to the inside.

Starting from the details, he thoroughly observed what kind of existence the Plane Nightmare was.

In this process, in addition to investigating, Chen Ming was also using one of the most fundamental properties of his psychic energy, that is, the part of the power that belonged to the mind-running entity, to devour the dimensional power that originally belonged to the Plane Nightmare and was of the same origin as Chen Ming's power.

And gradually became familiar with this power and gradually mastered it.

Soon after, Chen Ming extracted his own psychic fluctuations from the body, and also extracted the part of the Plane Nightmare's power that he had devoured from himself, and stuffed it back into the body.

He didn't need this power, he just needed the way to use this power.

Chen Ming clenched his fist.

After getting familiar with the working principle of this new power mode again, he came to the wormhole of the Origin Galaxy.

He removed the space locking device that he had installed here to prevent things from approaching the other side of the wormhole.

He released his own psychic energy fluctuations in the direction of the wormhole, and wrapped around the wormhole like a chain.

His psychic energy fluctuations replaced the space locking device. He used the power of the nightmare of the plane to tear the dimension to reversely lock the wormhole, which was related to the dimensional power.

He gradually stabilized the wormhole, making it more stable than before and more suitable for spacecraft to pass through.

This is the new power that Chen Ming has mastered.

And not only wormholes, any matter related to his dimension, his power can show stronger stability than before.

Even if he repairs the space gap, he can repair it better than before and it is more difficult to break through.

Chen Ming put away his own power and installed the space locking device again.

Although his psychic energy can be effective as long as it is maintained, it can replace all the functions of the space locking device and even have some additional functions.

But having an extra insurance is not a bad thing.

Chen Ming doesn't mind the trouble.

After all, the value of a stable wormhole is very special.

Wormholes exist naturally in the universe, connecting two unrelated areas in the universe. They do not need to consume a lot of resources when activated like a star gate. The value of connecting the two areas alone is already very high.

Not to mention that Chen Ming's wormhole even directly connects to the outside of the observable universe, not to mention the value.

However, there are almost no natural wormholes in the empire at present.

Most of the wormholes have been extracted from singularities and used to make star gates.

The reason for doing so instead of leaving some of the original natural wormholes is very simple.

Wormholes themselves also have disadvantages.

For example, the location is not good.

If the location of two connected wormholes is not good, there is no need to travel back and forth, and the wormholes are meaningless.

It is better to extract singularities and manually create star gates.

In this way, the empire can also conduct overall regulation and try to ensure that each star field has at least one star gate.

Artificial star gates can also be connected to each other, unlike natural wormholes that can only shuttle between two wormholes.

Moreover, natural wormholes are not stable enough, and there is a high risk of crossing them.

No one can guarantee that there will be no problems with wormholes.

Once there is a problem, the main battleship may be broken inside.

Of course, these problems are not a problem for Chen Ming's wormhole, and Chen Ming can solve them.

The problem is on the other side of the wormhole.

After the nightmare of the plane in the black hole was killed, the wormhole on the other side ran away.

Chen Ming has currently sent a small fleet to track it.

I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, it should be possible.

The good thing is that the wormhole can move away from the black hole in the future, and if the wormhole at that end enters a normal galaxy in the future, even if it is a not-so-good galaxy, it can also allow people to settle down and build a new base.

And if the wormhole continues to stay near the black hole, it is obviously not okay.

But the disadvantage is that Chen Ming doesn't know where the wormhole will go in the end.

Although the wormhole has a direction of movement, there is also a galaxy in this direction.

But who knows whether the wormhole will stay in that galaxy, or like the black hole, it will stay for a while and then move on to the next galaxy.

The situation of this wormhole is really unprecedented.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being the other end of the wormhole that can be called a cosmic wonder. If it doesn't do something fancy, it will be a shame to its name of a cosmic wonder.

At present, it seems that this wormhole will take about two days to reach the first galaxy that overlaps with the trajectory.

Chen Ming has planned to go to the wormhole to take a look and find out what is there.

What special existence attracted it, or is it because the nightmare of the plane used its own power to attract the wormhole, and now the wormhole is just returning to its original position.

In short, he has to investigate.

But there is no rush, this matter can wait a little.

Because he has more things waiting for him to do.

For example, he had to deal with the body of the Plane Nightmare still floating in the orbit of Gaia.

Such a big thing is just there, you can't just watch it, right?

Chen Ming has already thought of its specific use, but it still needs some small preparations.

He can do this while doing other things later.

As for the specific content of other things.

Chen Ming needs to report the test results of the weapons borrowed from several departments. Those data are important data for determining the direction of future weapon research.

He also has to talk to the researchers who made the concentrated arc launcher about cooperation. This kind of weapon, which can have a very good performance as long as the scale is increased, is simply tailor-made for him.

In addition, the meeting triggered by the news he brought back about the survivors of the Shining Civilization seems to have been almost over.

The basic content has been discussed.

And Chen Ming remembers all the content of the discussion, and there are a lot of contents that have nothing to do with him.

The only related content seems to be about the communicator.

However, after the discussion at the meeting, no one had any objection to Chen Ming continuing to hold the communicator. There was really no objection.

The communication between civilizations will never be friendly, especially when one civilization is from its peak to decline, and the other civilization is coming out of stagnation.

Everyone has a guess in their mind about what a civilization in such a state will do.

So after the discussion, almost everyone who attended the meeting did not believe that the human empire and the shining civilization would coexist peacefully if they collided directly.

But the things to consider between civilizations and individuals of other civilizations, especially between an individual who has the ability to destroy a civilization, are different.

Individuals have feelings.

For the empire, there will be even less to consider, because Chen Ming's butt is always on the side of humans.

And Chen Ming is also very happy to listen to other people's suggestions at some time when he is not professional, and even took the initiative to find someone capable in this area to guide the content of the conversation.

So the empire has no objection to Chen Ming's willingness to hold the communicator and be responsible for the subsequent communication.

As for the shining civilization, they have to consider many things other than interests.

Not only do they need to consider the attitude of the empire towards them, but also the attitude of Chen Ming.

They must be more careful when communicating with Chen Ming, and put aside their pride in the Shining Civilization.

No matter what their purpose is, it is absolutely right to please Chen Ming who has the power to communicate with them.

After the meeting, Chen Ming spent quite a while to deal with the follow-up matters of the survivors.

Even if the meeting is over, there are still many people and many things that need to be discussed with Chen Ming in private.

Chen Ming also received guidance from various professionals who specialize in the study of culture, language, civilization and other fields.

They guided Chen Ming on the way and content of contacting the survivors of the Shining Civilization in the future, and they also gave Chen Ming some templates. At least he would not make mistakes if he directly used the templates when communicating.

They even helped Chen Ming list a list of clichés, which was specifically used to cliché the survivors, to see if there was a chance to directly learn more about the Shining Civilization without trading with the survivors.

Of course, it is okay not to cliché, after all, not all conversations can be put into the template.

And clichés only speed up the progress of some trials, which does not have much significance and impact.

Anyway, from Chen Ming's perspective, no matter who in the Empire, or even himself, actually has no idea of ​​obtaining intelligence from the survivors through normal transactions.

Instead, they want to obtain this information in a more efficient and quick way.

It's just that the survivors hid well, and Chen Ming had no way to try to track them.

So for the time being, he still communicated and traded with the survivors normally.

But once the opportunity to catch the survivors is caught, neither the Empire nor Chen Ming will miss it.

After being busy with the survivors for a long time.

Chen Ming finally returned to the space station of the research institute in the galaxy he rented.

And the first thing he did after returning to the space station.

He ran back to his office and packaged the weapon research data and sent it to the project teams that provided the weapons, and sent a communication plan about arc weapons to the headquarters ship research institute.

At the same time, he began to write a document.

The document recorded various information about the nightmare of the plane.

Including that it is a psychic species, has the ability to control gravity, has very strong combat power, looks ugly, and other characteristics are written down.

Even if people have never really come into contact with the nightmare of the plane, they can still have a basic understanding of it, and they can also know that this is an unprecedented powerful species that the empire has never encountered, and it involves various complex technical aspects, and has extremely high research value.

And Chen Ming also attached several records of fighting with it in the file. It can be seen that in addition to controlling gravity psychic energy, it even has the ability to tear space barriers.

Of course, Chen Ming deliberately concealed a little news.

That is, the news that the nightmare of the plane is dead and the body was recovered intact by him.

However, Chen Ming brought back the broken limb he broke in the first wave of raids.

And a new area was specially arranged for placement, and various facilities that might be used have begun to be dispatched.

Anyone with a little ability would notice Chen Ming's little move.

Then he sent this document to all members of the institute who participated in this project, and asked everyone if they were interested in participating in the new project.

The new project was not clearly stated, but he was of course referring to the research project on the limbs of the nightmare of the plane.

As a result, Chen Ming immediately received hundreds of replies waiting for him to deal with.

He immediately made a list and began to screen the people who were suitable to participate in this project according to each person's profile.

All capable people should have been allowed, but if they were important members of Chen Ming's main battleship project, he would first confirm whether they had the ability to take care of two projects at the same time.

If not, he would refuse, but even if he refused, he hinted at the corpse of the nightmare of the plane in his reply, which was also a little trick he made to attract people.

Although the development behind the wormhole was temporarily blocked, there were not so many messy things in front of the wormhole.

The research colony planned by Chen Ming, which was coordinated and constructed by Huihuang, is developing little by little.

With almost unlimited resources and technical support, it is absolutely no problem to build a research center that Chen Ming needs to meet his research direction.

And along with the construction of the research center, of course, there is the infrastructure that can provide people who may join this research center in the future.

Now that the research center is there and the supporting facilities are there, the only thing left is to recruit people.

Relying on these free resources and various luxury goods, plus the corpse of the nightmare of the plane for research.

It should not be a big problem to increase the attractiveness of Gaia Star and attract some professional researchers.

Although it is not necessarily true that the psychics of the Psychic Research Institute can be completely attracted.

After all, there is a fairy tree that covers the sky and the sun at the headquarters of the Psychic Research Institute, which is very attractive to psychics.

Even Chen Ming occasionally goes to the Psychic Research Institute to feel the spiritual comfort of the ancient fairy tree and learn how to cultivate the fairy tree.

After all, he also has a fairy tree. Although it is only half a person tall now, he is also thinking about cultivating the fairy tree to the scale of the Psychic Research Institute.

Just when Chen Ming was selecting the current people with his hands and thinking about the future in his mind.

The two directors who had cooperated with Chen Ming more often suddenly pushed open the door of Chen Ming's office and rushed in.

After entering, the two old men sat on the sofa without saying a word.

When doing projects, Chen Ming always put aside his identity and treated himself as an ordinary researcher.

When getting along with other people, at least when getting along with the two directors, there are not too many rules and regulations.

Instead, it is very casual.

So Chen Ming didn't care what the two were doing, and continued to pick the people he needed.

As a result, the director of the psychic power saw that Chen Ming ignored him, and he took out a box of fairy leaves from the cabinet next to him and made himself a cup of tea.

While drinking, he coughed from time to time to attract Chen Ming's attention.

Now Chen Ming knew why the two came.

It is normal to be discovered that poaching.

But he pretended not to see it and continued to send replies to those who were willing to participate in the new project.

Wait until everyone has sent almost everything.

He finally looked up and asked, "What are you doing?"

The ship director spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know why he was here.

He pointed to the psychic director next to him, indicating that he was the one who brought him here.

The psychic director drank tea and said to Chen Ming in a dull voice, "I know what you want to do."

Chen Ming asked back, "What am I going to do?"

"Poaching."

"First, release the severed limb to the people in the entire project, and then when the time is right, release the news that you have a complete body. There will definitely be a group of people running to your side."

Chen Ming shrugged. He didn't deliberately hide this matter. It was normal for the poached to come and cause trouble for Chen Ming.

But Chen Ming also thought of a way to deal with it.

"It's just an academic exchange."

"The journey is a little far, so it's reasonable for me to prepare some accommodation for them, right?"

"My environment is good and there are many resources. If they want to stay, that's their business."

"That's the truth." The director of the psychic energy institute said, "But the procedures for your colony..."

"My colony has been declared, and it's a legal colony."

Chen Ming said, and directly took out a paper document that he had obtained some time ago when the colony had not yet been released.

It is a registration document for a colony.

Although most of the places on it are still empty, it has been stamped by the Empire's Colonial Development Department.

Chen Ming can fill in the various empty places on it at will. As long as he fills them in, his colony will be a legal colony.

The Minister of Psychic Energy stared at the document for a long time and asked, "Why don't I remember that there is a law that can be used to establish legal colonies outside the empire."

"Because it uses the pioneering law."

The director of the psychic energy institute almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

The pioneering law was a law that the empire once promised various benefits to encourage pioneering, and the management of pioneers to establish colonies on their own was very loose.

But after the pioneering era ended, it gradually fell out of use.

As a result, Chen Ming suddenly said this, which sounded strange.

It’s just that although what Chen Ming said sounds absurd at first, it’s actually okay.

Restarting the pioneering era is already the general direction of the future decided by the ruling class of the empire.

The restart of the pioneering law is also a foregone conclusion.

As long as the war with the mechanical race is over, the empire will start its steps again.

Even if the pioneering era is not restarted, Chen Ming has the ability to ask the empire for such a document.

This is the privilege Chen Ming has.

Chen Ming continued to say to the director of the psychic power: "And you have to know that my place is quite far away from the empire, and the sequelae of the dimensional infection have not yet spread there."

"In my place, people can give birth to the next generation normally."

Although with the development of cryostasis technology, the age gap between people in the empire has caused irreversible damage to some close relationships.

And things like marriage are no longer a fixed process before secular reproduction.

Although it will not disappear, the people do not pay much attention to these.

To be precise, the people in the more developed areas do not pay attention to them.

Some underdeveloped areas still attach importance to these, after all, the people in these places do not have many opportunities to leave the mother planet, nor do they have many opportunities to use cryosleep technology.

Some other high-level officials of the empire also attach great importance to these relationships. For example, Chen Ming himself was taken into marriage because he was valued.

After all, power can benefit the people around him, and a circle of power is more stable than a single source of power.

However, reproduction is the instinct of living things.

Most people are willing to leave their descendants, but if the conditions are not suitable, they can leave them.

Just like now, the entire empire is still affected by the sequelae of dimensional infection, but under the overall good situation of the empire, it is not too serious.

It is precisely because of this that the empire did not collapse directly because of the sequelae of dimensional infection when it was entangled in a twilight before.

But that was because the conditions were not suitable.

Since Chen Ming's territory can meet the needs and conditions of some people, why not go?

Therefore, Chen Ming's colony is very attractive to many young researchers.

There are even certain pioneering laws.

The director of the psychic energy institute found it hard to imagine how many people would follow Chen Ming if he really released the news of what he could provide.

He had personally followed Chen Ming to the vicinity of the wormhole and saw what kind of preparations Chen Ming had made.

So he was very worried.

And Chen Ming continued to add: "And I can open the star gate 24 hours a day."

"24 hours?"

"Yes, I have the resources to open the star gate like this."

"There is also a star gate at the headquarters. It only takes more than ten minutes to get to me, which is faster than running back and forth in the institute."

"You can go back anytime you want. I won't make any restrictions."

Although Chen Ming said so.

But the director of the psychic energy institute knew that everyone knew that there were countless unknown things in the world behind the wormhole. How many people would really come back after going there?

Although Chen Ming opened the channel for people to go back and forth, if they really went there and came back, their weight in Chen Ming's heart would definitely decrease.

Is there really anyone willing to bear the cost of jumping back and forth?

Seeing that the director of the psychic power institute seemed to be thinking about something, Chen Ming continued: "In addition, the climate in my colony is quite good, and do you remember the fairy tree I took away before? It has also started to grow."

"I remember that you are quite old, right? If you find a place to retire, I will..."

"Stop."

The director of the psychic power institute waved his hand and said: "Are you trying to pry me?"

"I have to try, right?"

"In fact, I don't have to snatch people from the legion and you, but the capable people I know are all in the legion, and I don't know the people I contact outside..."

The director of the psychic power had no way to deal with Chen Ming, and seeing this, he took the opportunity to step down and said: "I will help you find the right one, and then you can judge it yourself, and snatch less of my people."

"No problem."
