Chapter 382: Advances in Technology

The death of the Star Eater caused the wormhole, which was originally rotating steadily on the same and corresponding orbit as the Gaia planet in the corner that Chen Ming had not noticed, to leave again.

But this time, Chen Ming would not let it run away again.

The moment he came to the wormhole wearing the biological armor, his psychic energy fluctuations directly wrapped around the wormhole. Acting on it.

The power of his psychic energy prevented him from directly controlling the wormhole, and he could only use the way of using the power he learned from the nightmare of the plane to maintain the stability of the wormhole.

But he had another way to limit the wormhole.

That is, he also used the method he learned from the nightmare of the plane after mastering the power of the dimension.

The psychic energy fluctuations released by Chen Ming, which were invisible to the naked eye, seemed to be stained with a blue color that could be observed to be full of destructive aura.

And this blue existence tore the space under his control, tearing open a spherical crack from the normal universe to the phase space, trapping the wormhole in the space crack.

Wormholes that were born based on normal cosmic physics and space rules cannot enter the phase space, otherwise the intersection of the two spaces will cause the wormhole itself to collapse directly.

Whether this wormhole, which can be regarded as a cosmic wonder, has its own consciousness like the planet Gaia, or is purely acting according to some rules that Chen Ming does not understand, it cannot enter the phase space.

Because it belongs to the normal universe, and the phase space belongs to another dimension.

Just as Chen Ming thought.

The wormhole was locked in the only space in the spherical space crack that is still a normal universe, and it cannot leave.

But Chen Ming cannot always maintain such a space crack.

Not to mention the problem of mental power consumption, it is definitely not a good thing that the partition between space and space is destroyed.

Whether it is the dangerous scarlet or the safe phase, there should be no direct spatial fusion with the normal universe.

It shouldn't be a big deal if he does it temporarily, but if he keeps it, there will definitely be huge trouble.

So immediately afterwards, Chen Ming's spiritual energy fluctuations acted again near the wormhole.

This time, Chen Ming's psychic power was much milder. He only sent four devices called space solidification anchors, which were about one cubic meter in size.

And their functions are already shown in the name.

It is used to solidify space and prevent the nature of space from changing.

Specifically, it has two basic functions. One is to build a safe zone within a space range to protect some key areas of the empire from being forcibly entered by external jumps.

Some semi-permanent areas, such as various important political and military galaxies and planets, can be installed.

The Legion branch in Galo has installed this thing, and it has successfully prevented an attack by the mechanical race that was desperate.

The number of solidification anchors required to block a large area such as a planet or a galaxy is not small.

However, if it is just to block a small area of ​​space solidification anchors, generally four groups are enough.

Just like Chen Ming has only prepared four now.

Because his purpose is the same as another basic function of the solidification anchor, blocking wormholes, which only requires four solidification devices.

A blocked wormhole can extract the singularity in it relatively easily.

However, Chen Ming did not intend to extract the singularity in this special wormhole. He just needed to block the wormhole and fix it in place.

Chen Ming solved the problem of the wormhole's long legs and running by tearing the space, avoiding the problem of the anchor point being unable to be installed.

The singularity inside the wormhole will not be solidified, which means that while fixing the position of the wormhole, it will not affect the operation of the wormhole itself.

And what is solidified is only the nature of the space, not the things in the space. Anything that does not use the nature of the space to move will not be affected.

It is equivalent to suppressing the ability to move only in space.

In the only area in the spherical crack where the space is still intact, the four locking anchor points surrounding the wormhole were quickly activated.

The wormhole trapped in it was completely surrounded.

The built-in high-efficiency solar panels can keep the entire device running for a long time, and only regular maintenance is needed to keep this space solidified.

The wormhole that was originally moving in a small space has gradually stabilized, and the speed of movement is getting slower and slower.

After confirming that the equipment has been successfully operated and has worked,

Chen Ming was also ready to start repairing the space crack he had just torn.

But just as he had this idea, he noticed that the speed of the wormhole suddenly stopped decreasing after it dropped to a certain level.

It kept moving in the torn space at a very slow speed, but it was still able to move.

It was moving in a whole piece of space solidified by the space solidification device.

This situation made Chen Ming a little speechless for a while.

He could only say that this wormhole was indeed a wonder of the universe.

Chen Ming frowned and thought for a while, and still thought of a solution that might be useful.

He used psychic energy to recreate four anchor points and made some modifications to these four anchor points.

Using the device developed in the past six months that can help the normal universe and phase space communicate, as well as some previous phase technologies, these four new anchor points have the ability to connect the normal universe and phase space.

And these four new anchor points are all connected to the four existing anchor points, and can recognize each other during operation and be determined as a group.

Therefore, when Chen Ming restarted the anchor point and sent it into the phase space.

The space corresponding to the location of the wormhole in the phase space was also blocked.

Chen Ming used the anchoring ability of the two spaces to strengthen the solidification ability of the device.

This time, with the assistance of the phase space.

The wormhole finally stopped moving, but was truly fixed in the space surrounded by the solidified anchor point.

Chen Ming relaxed a little.

After confirming that the wormhole would not run away again, he released psychic fluctuations and began to repair the space rift that he had just torn.

But he suddenly stopped the repair process at hand and frowned.

Because he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He felt that the space he was repairing was experiencing a slight tremor that he had not expected.

If he had not focused all his attention on this space, he would not have felt the tremor at all.

There was an inexplicable force from an unknown corner that Chen Ming could not directly sense acting on the space he had just torn and repaired at this time.

Chen Ming suddenly felt more pressure in his heart. He immediately suppressed the tremor and restored it to normal, while speeding up the repair of the space that had just been torn.

The force that was shaking the space was warning him that he must do less of the active tearing of space, or even better, not do it again.

Of course, it is more likely that it was not a warning, but a sign of some danger.

After locking the wormhole.

Chen Ming spent a little time to adjust the trajectory of the wormhole so that it could continue to revolve.

Or let the solidified anchor point in the normal universe and phase space that restricted the wormhole begin to revolve.

Since he had already started, Chen Ming did it more decisively.

He did not let the wormhole revolve with Gaia, but dragged the wormhole to the orbit of Gaia.

It began to revolve around Gaia from the ecliptic plane of the planet and became a "satellite" of Gaia.

It allowed the spacecraft on the Origin Galaxy to reach Gaia as soon as possible after passing through the wormhole, without having to sail for a while.

If there is time and extra energy later, Chen Ming will also change the position of the wormhole on the other side of the Origin Galaxy and put it on the satellite orbit of the planet.

The problem of the wormhole has been solved.

Chen Ming returned to the spacecraft.

The Minister of Climate Transformation was looking at the picture sent back by the sensor in a daze, feeling a little nervous and excited.

Obviously he saw everything Chen Ming did just now, including locking the wormhole with psychic energy, forcibly tearing the space and repairing the space, and finally dragging the wormhole to the orbit of Gaia.

He had seen psychics and knew how powerful psychics were in personal force.

He had also heard about Chen Ming's ability and knew that Chen Ming should be considered one of the strongest psychics in the entire empire and had not yet grown to his limit.

Now that he had seen what Chen Ming had done, he finally understood what the strongest meant, and his eyes towards Chen Ming were filled with awe.

Chen Ming did not care about other people's opinions, he just saved the whole process of what had just happened.

Including his discovery of the Star Devourer and his final solution to the Star Devourer.

However, he cut off the part where he tore the space and repaired the space.

He had already had enough achievements in the Empire to prove himself, and he did not need to perform extra performances.

More would only make people feel unnecessary fear.

After saving all the content, Chen Ming sent a copy of the file he had just saved to everyone who should be sent it, just like the last time he encountered the Nightmare of the Planes.

"The matter should be resolved here. I have to go back to the Empire. Do you want to go back together?"

The Minister of Climate Transformation immediately responded to Chen Ming's question: "Okay, I have to go back to prepare the equipment for the future. It's enough for me to go back. Can the rest of you stay here?"

"No problem, I will be responsible for their safety."

Chen Ming said, and stood up and pressed on the shoulder of the Minister of Climate Transformation.

In just a blink of an eye, he and the minister appeared at the space station port of the Climate Transformation Department.

Only non-researchers and some robots were working here at this time.

"Contact me when you are ready."

Chen Ming patted the minister's shoulder, waved at him, and disappeared in the space station in a blink of an eye.

Two weeks later.

Chen Ming looked through the files on the terminal in his hand, and it can be seen that a lot of things have happened in the past half month.

The most important thing is the plan for dealing with the corpse of the Star Devourer.

Chen Ming used the same method as the Plane Nightmare.

That is, take out some samples and throw them to the Empire for research, while most of the corpses are still in his own hands, used as bait to attract talents.

And this time, the research on the Star Devourer is more troublesome than the Plane Nightmare.

The limbs of the Plane Nightmare only need to solve the gravity problem of its corpse.

But the corpse of the star-eating body needs an environment of thousands of degrees Celsius to be preserved, otherwise it will melt.

The only natural high-temperature environment is the star.

Therefore, the research institute that studies part of the body tissue of the star-eating body this time was built in a galaxy similar to the star of Gaia planet in a certain empire.

It is not on the territory of the legion.

In addition to the fact that the legion does not have similar stars, this situation is also because the Fanchao Research Institute has signed an agreement with the 14th Legion and Chen Ming.

The Fanchao Research Institute is directly under the empire, so it can also be regarded as an agreement reached between Chen Ming, the empire and the legion.

It can even be directly regarded as an agreement between Chen Ming and the empire.

At the beginning, it was the Fanchao Research Institute that took the initiative to find them. They wanted to cooperate with Chen Ming.

They contributed people, money and effort, and Chen Ming provided samples for them to study, and the results were shared together.

It was quite like the idea of ​​letting Chen Ming get rid of the legion and become independent.

The legion remained silent throughout the process.

Because the scientific research resources of the Legion are indeed inferior to Fan Chao, it would definitely not be a good choice to use Bai Quan's favor to communicate with Chen Ming, so it is better to wait for Chen Ming to decide.

Of course, Chen Ming rejected this type of cooperation plan given by Fan Chao Research Institute.

Not only because of the relationship with the Legion, but also because of other reasons.

The cooperation he wanted was carried out in the previous way, based on his laboratory and his research center.

He could only provide some scraps for the Empire's research, and the real big head must remain in his hands.

He wanted to train his own scientific researchers.

Of course, Chen Ming did not mean to give others no chance at all.

He still agreed to fully open his research center in the Origin Galaxy to the Empire after it was officially opened to the public. Anyone who passed the review could participate in the project in the name of academic exchange.

Chen Ming could even give some of the same privileges that he had agreed with the 14th Legion in advance at Fan Chao Research Institute, which was also considered to be some preferential treatment.

The reason for his doing so was also very simple.

That is, the research center he built on Gaia, which almost covered an entire planet, could not have only his own project team.

He must build a research center full of academic atmosphere that can still operate without the various resources he provides.

For this reason, in the early stage of the operation of this research center, he must relax some conditions a little and recruit some peripheral members to fill this planet.

To prepare for the transition to the future.

So Chen Ming is still privately setting up a research fund to support some potential independent research institutes in the empire.

When the research center is open, those research institutes that he has supported will become one of them.

So the agreement that Chen Ming wants to sign with the empire is prepared for this purpose.

Neither Fan Chao nor the empire can do anything to Chen Ming.

Because Chen Ming has the most advanced research resources.

Fan Chao could only sign this agreement in the end. At least Chen Ming gave some preferential treatment. At least when the institute was only open internally, there would be researchers from Fan Chao Institute among the first batch of members.

As for how many people can come back after going to Chen Ming, it depends on the ability of Fan Chao Institute and Chen Ming.

Anyway, Chen Ming always insists on sitting on the chair of the empire.

He never had independent ideas, so the researchers' interactions could only be regarded as job-hopping, and there would be no strange names involved.

Whether a researcher can be retained really depends on the treatment.

In addition, in the past half month.

On the newly opened research space station near a certain star in the empire.

Research on organisms such as the star-eating body and substances such as the star-eating body fluid is also being formally carried out.

Research on other forms of life has shown signs of being on the front line of technology.

The Dyson Sphere Project, which the empire had once carried out but was not studied due to insufficient technical level, was also pulled up from the grave by the part of the star-eating body brought back by Chen Ming.

The emergence of the star-eating body indirectly supports many researchers.

In addition to the new research project on the star-eating body that has just been launched, many previous projects of the nightmare of the plane have also made initial progress after half a month.

Among them, Chen Ming is most concerned about the research progress of the psychic shield.

This is a project to study how the nightmare of the plane uses its own psychic energy to build a passive gravity shield near the body.

Gravitational psychic energy is unique to the nightmare of the plane, and using gravity psychic energy to build a gravity shield is also part of its ability.

But as long as the principle can be studied clearly, the theory of psychic shield can be extended.

Other psychics or psychic equipment can also build similar shields.

Chen Ming had felt that the Zerg fleet needed a shield before, and this attack on the star eater was more certain of this idea.

So he has been paying close attention to this project and has continuously increased his investment in this project.

He needs this technology.

In addition to these studies invested by Chen Ming and supported by the Empire.

Some research that Chen Ming is fully responsible for has also made progress.

That is, which projects are about scavenger robots.

The nanorobots on the scavengers have been self-iterating and updating a digital optimization program for tens of thousands of years.

It can analyze and optimize its own functions according to the situation in which it is used, and play an effect similar to Chen Ming's deep maintenance psychic power, constantly adjusting itself and approaching the "perfection" of its own functionality.

Although Chen Ming has mastered such psychic power, he knows that he cannot optimize everything in the entire empire.

He knows that his ability has limits, but his technology does not.

So Chen Ming is studying to template and modularize this optimization program, and find ways to reduce its complexity in mathematical operations, so that it can adapt to a more basic environment and be applied to more environments.

Rather than only being applied to nanorobots.

He wants to continuously lower the threshold for the use of this program, and eventually allow this program to penetrate into countless fields.

In addition, Chen Ming has another research plan.

That is to apply this optimization program to psychic power.

But this is more complicated, and he has no idea yet.

However, he thinks that if his two ideas are combined, He Gu, who is engaged in the civilianization of psychic technology, should be more interested.

It's just that He Gu seems to be still studying those things with the help of Fan Chao's plan to militarize psychic weapons, and he should not be free for the time being.

When he is free in the future, Chen Ming will go to He Gu to take over this project.

Anyway, the optimization program can only be regarded as his secondary research project.

He is mainly researching the nano forge.

There is a broken nano forge in the body of the scavenger, and it has not been repaired yet.

The reason is very simple, Chen Ming's psychic power does not work.

It is not that this nano forge has been attacked by destructive psychic power or similar, but that it has been attacked by time.

It was damaged too long ago, and Chen Ming's psychic power cannot work to the ancient times close to ten thousand years ago, so it cannot be repaired to its former appearance.

But at least it can still be used, and it can also be used for the construction of colonies.

With enough materials, it can build a new industrialized colony in a few days.

However, judging from the results of Chen Ming's analysis, the industrialized colony that was finally established must be the industrialization of the Shining Civilization. It cannot be directly applied to humans.

So he is trying to change the nano forge from the nano forge of the Shining Civilization to the nano forge of human civilization.

The progress is also quite obvious.

Because the iteration and update of the scavenger's own nanorobots also optimizes the nanorobots in the nanoforge.

They can quickly adapt to and learn the technology of the empire.

The industrial buildings built by themselves are also optimized.

And this is not the kind of optimization that is completely accepted, but a fusion optimization after integrating the shining technology and human technology.

The final result can integrate the advantages of both sides.

Not only can it make the colony more potential, but it can also allow Chen Ming to master more advanced technology to a certain extent.

It can only be said that the value of these behemoths is indeed very terrifying.

Each one is like a treasure trove.

As long as their troubles can be solved, the rest will only be good.

After Chen Ming brought the news of the Star Devourer back this time and held a meeting.

These behemoths, including the nightmare of the plane and the Star Devourer, are all collectively called Leviathan.

The scavenger robots are also included.

All these research processes related to Leviathan are called Leviathan projects.

They have the highest level of authority in the entire empire, and the empire will try its best to meet any needs.

It can be seen that the empire is now really thinking about development with all its strength, and has not been overwhelmed by the great victory in the mechanical war.

The top leaders of the empire are also aware that there are countless beings in the universe that threaten the survival of the empire.

Chen Ming is of course happy to accept the current situation.

In addition to the progress in theory and scientific research.

In the past half month, some substantive plans have also been promoted, such as the climate transformation plan that Chen Ming is most concerned about.
