Chapter 384 Changes

Two months later.

Origin Galaxy, Gaia, Research Center No. 1.

Although it is called a research center, it is actually a city with complete functions.

Chen Ming, who is at Research Center No. 1, has just finished his work.

He sent the data on the research progress of his battleship in the past two months and the report on the design of the battleship to the other leaders of the project team.

More than a month ago, Chen Ming had built Research Center No. 1 with the help of Yuhui.

After a month of internal advance opening, Chen Ming's Gaia No. 1 Research Center was officially opened to the public a few days ago.

The news that he built a new research center and had research resources that the empire did not have had spread long ago.

The news that he was raising research funds in the empire and recruiting researchers and research teams on a large scale had already spread in the circle.

People are still coming to this city one after another.

The conditions given by Chen Ming are relatively loose.

As long as they can pass the online review and identity review, it is not a problem to bring their families here.

The ancillary facilities he prepared in the urban area that covers an area larger than the research center outside the No. 1 research center are specifically used here.

Researchers from the outside world and research teams formed by the outside world can come to Chen Ming's colony, so his own extraordinary research institute has of course moved here a long time ago.

At present, it is mainly managed by Lu Kang, his deputy who was promoted by him personally.

The main battleship project team that was previously in the empire also moved here.

Anyway, as Chen Ming said before, he has no shortage of energy resources.

His star gate can be connected to the star gate of the legion for 24 hours.

His colony and the legion headquarters can be physically only one door away.

Unless the star gate needs to be connected to other places, it will be temporarily closed, but this will not affect Chen Ming's continued opening of the star gate, allowing people to shuttle through it at will.

It is also a little idea to deliberately keep it connected with the legion's star gate.

The star gate is in the capital of the legion star field, and people who want to come from there must be inspected by the legion.

If there is a problem, the Corps will not drive people away directly, but will turn around and notify him to conduct the final review.

It can be regarded as an extra layer of insurance, plus more people to help Chen Ming.

The Corps is also happy to do so.

After all, the star gate leading to Chen Ming's colony can be opened in any place with a star gate, and no place will refuse Chen Ming's request.

But since Chen Ming is willing to open it here, they will definitely not drive people out.

For them, it is definitely beneficial to maintain close contact with a purely scientific research colony like Chen Ming.

So the Corps even wanted to provide the resources for opening the star gate by themselves.

But in the end, Chen Ming still provided them.

After all, Chen Ming's energy resources are really free, but they are still very expensive for the Corps.

Unless a certain technology that has just started recently has a key breakthrough in a very short time, this situation should continue for a while.

After the entire team of the battleship project that Chen Ming is responsible for moved to Chen Ming's colony, the overall research situation is better than before.

The project team itself was built by the cooperation of multiple research groups, and they were research groups in different directions and disciplines.

Many technologies are not well understood by each other.

In addition, the people who can participate in Chen Ming's project team must be the most advanced in each technology, and they always look down on each other. The cooperation situation is not too ideal.

If Chen Ming had not relied on his own resources and his ability to suppress those people, the project team would have turned the world upside down.

This also led to the slow progress of the project in the previous period.

However, the entire project team has been running-in for more than half a year, and finally there is a bit of cooperation.

In the current scientific research environment that Chen Ming specially created, rather than the environment that multiple different organizations temporarily put together to cooperate in the battleship research project, the efficiency will only be higher than before.

In two months, there has been good progress.

For example, it took the project team half a year to deal with the corpse of the patriarch, preserve the special organs, and determine the direction of the main control system of the spacecraft.

There is nothing else.

For example, there is no progress in the energy source, engine, armor and weapons of the spacecraft.

But fortunately, now, these aspects have basically set the tone.

It is expected that the basic framework of this battleship will be built within a few months, and the corpse will have the prototype of a spacecraft.

With the foundation, the subsequent complex and diverse tests can make more refined modifications to this special battleship.

Just like what Chen Ming just did, he integrated and sorted out the contents of the past two months and sent them to the respective persons in charge.

After that, he will gather everyone for a meeting to make things clear.

This project has invested countless people and countless efforts. Now it is not just Chen Ming's own project to build a battleship, but a test site for the entire empire to test the most advanced ship technology.

But these things are not the current things.

Now he had to go to the next door and do something else.

Chen Ming got up and left the office and the building where he worked.

Like an ordinary researcher, he used the ready-made commuter system on the terminal to call a shuttle and set his destination.

Although he could go there directly with psychic power, Chen Ming suddenly wanted to go there slowly.

He personally commanded the Yuhui to build this city according to his needs. He also lived in this city for a few months, but he seemed to have never done so and had never experienced life in the city in person.

So, since there was no rush for what he had to do, he might as well take this opportunity to take a look at the city he built himself.

The shuttle took off.

In order to prevent some unexpected situations, a large number of ground orbital defense facilities were built on the planet, and there were also orbital defense systems in space.

Therefore, no matter what spacecraft it was, it needed to go to a special area to enter and exit the planet's atmosphere, otherwise it would be attacked.

Although Chen Ming had absolute control over those defense facilities, he didn't need to deliberately go out of the ordinary at this time.

This also made it convenient for him to observe this city that belonged to him.

Chen Ming was already familiar with the layout of the city. After all, the entire city was designed bit by bit according to his needs, and he watched it with his own eyes.

He knew some knowledge about urban planning.

Although he knew about industrial city planning, the knowledge was interlinked, and he had some experience.

He was much more involved in the project than anyone else in a similar position.

However, it was one thing to see it on the blueprint, but it was another to see it in reality.

When the shuttle took off, the first thing Chen Ming saw through the window of the spacecraft gave him a feeling of emptiness.

Although there were tall buildings in the city, the empty streets and only a few sparse spacecraft flying in the air gave him such a feeling.

At the beginning of the design, the No. 1 Research Center was a city that could accommodate tens of millions of people.

Even if there was Yuhui, it would not be so easy to build a city of this size in just three months.

Generally speaking, there must be a city center first, and then gradually expand from the center to the periphery.

But with the help of Chen Ming's psychic power, everything went smoothly.

It was very fast and ridiculous.

This also led to the fact that the entire No. 1 Research Center was now ridiculously empty.

Although Chen Ming's review standards for people who can come here have been much looser than before, there are only a little over 10,000 researchers working here.

Including some people who have decided to settle down and bring their families here, the total number is only about 30,000.

There are no human figures in almost any place, only robots responsible for maintaining the city are running.

Chen Ming has tried his best to settle the people in the city together, but the effect...

But it's not a big problem.

His No. 1 Research Center has only been open to the inside for more than a month, and has been open to the outside for less than two weeks. It is normal that there are few people.

Chen Ming can no longer remember how many people there are in the empire. Even if the researchers only account for a small part of the empire's population, it is definitely enough to fill his colony.

There is no need to rush, just do what should be done.

The shuttle flew around the city, and after reaching the area where the planet can be entered and exited, it flew straight into space.

In a blink of an eye, the shuttle broke through the atmosphere of Gaia and saw the starry sky outside, as well as the half-body of the Plane Nightmare floating in the starry sky and orbiting Gaia.

Next to the half-body, there was a space station of about the same size as the Plane Nightmare's body, which half-surrounded its body for easy research.

This space station, like the city on the surface, was built by Chen Ming using psychic energy.

However, he was only responsible for the construction process, and the subsequent maintenance was left to Yu Hui and various mechanical devices, robots and other means to handle.

Although the destination of the commuter shuttle that Chen Ming was riding was not the Plane Nightmare Space Station, Chen Ming chose to slightly change his authority, allowing the shuttle to change direction and arrive at the port of the space station.

Chen Ming's own space station can of course enter and exit at will, and he soon saw the current appearance of the space station.

The situation here in the space station is much better than on the ground.

Although the port is not too lively, it is still popular.

After all, it is not as big as the cities on the surface, and a group of people organized by him have come here before.

He stayed at the port for a while.

Chen Ming was about to leave when he suddenly saw the director of the psychic power driving a small car out of the passage leading to the interior of the space station from the port of the space station, and came to Chen Ming.

Jumping off the vehicle inside the space station, the director of the psychic power said to Chen Ming: "I just received the things you sent. I was wondering when you would call people together to prepare the back. Why are you here now? And come here."

"I came to see it when I passed by. You know I have always been concerned about this project."

Chen Ming has always been paying attention to the development of ship psychic shield technology based on the psychic shield of the nightmare of the plane.

After all, the Zerg really needs shields.

And the research progress of the psychic shield project can be said to be very ideal.

The principle of the Plane Nightmare using psychic energy to create a passive gravity shield has been figured out, and the laboratory is trying to replicate it.

With the psychic theory technology exchanged from the survivors some time ago, it is only a matter of time to produce actual results.

It won't be long before the finished product of the psychic shield generator that can be tested will appear in Chen Ming's hands.

In addition, the psychic shield generator technology that can be used for optimization with his psychic energy will mature immediately.

The Queen of the Worm will also obtain this thing soon and use it to generate shields for the Zerg fleet.

Although the Queen of the Worm's psychic energy is to strengthen the body, judging from the results of the psychic shield research team, the effect of the psychic shield is based on the nature of the psychic energy, not whether the psychic energy has such a function, so there is no need to worry about not being able to use it.

The psychic shield generator technology optimized by Chen Ming's psychic energy will also be returned by Chen Ming later.

He no longer hides his ability to optimize this part of the technology.

Because at least no one in the empire can do anything to him now.

What he does is to optimize the technology he needs as much as possible, as for whether some other advanced and valuable technologies are optimized or not.

He doesn't care.

The empire can't force him, it can only support him and wait for him to actively optimize some technologies that are not meaningful to him but valuable to the empire.

He doesn't mind optimizing a few things every day.

A few things a day won't take much time.

So after learning about Chen Ming's attitude, the empire even set up a warehouse to prepare those technologies that need to be optimized for Chen Ming.

This is also good for Chen Ming to a certain extent, at least he can find some interesting things he has never heard of.

It can only be said that Chen Ming occasionally does some fancy work, and the communication between the empire and the survivors has obtained new technologies, as well as the application of various technologies developed by the empire.

The empire is currently in an era of technological blowout.

Whether it is Chen Ming's psychic shield, or psychic technology in other places, especially the more extensive psychic knowledge at the Fanchao Research Institute, they are all developing rapidly.

And all the disciplines that the empires have exchanged technology from the survivors have made new progress and can break through the shackles of the past.

In the mechanical war that has come to an end, the empire has already occupied most of the mechanical star field, and the state of the entire empire can be said to be very good.

At least it is better than before.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Chen Ming for the time being. He just habitually follows a train of thought to think about a bunch of things.

Now he is still talking to the Minister of Psychic about his sudden visit.

The Minister of Psychic Power also believed Chen Ming's excuse of stopping by to take a look, and said: "Old An has been keeping an eye on it, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

"To be honest, you are really too busy. There are things you need to do everywhere. I think you should find a chance to rest."

Chen Ming immediately said: "I'm fine."

"But why do I feel that you can't bear it? I feel that your psychic power has not changed for a long time."

"You are a psychic, psychic power is the most important thing, and all your energy is used on other things. Are you really okay?"

"Uh..."

Chen Ming's psychic power has actually changed.

He has been using the scarlet rift in his own consciousness space to enter the scarlet dimension and seize the power in it.

He has never stopped whether it has been half a year or two months.

As long as his condition is good enough, he will think about stealing something from the scarlet dimension to improve himself.

He even met the eye that was peeking out from the rift when he was constantly sneaking into the scarlet dimension.

Even now, when he touched that eye, his mental power almost collapsed. Fortunately, his phase power helped him.

After that, Chen Ming's mental power strength was the same as the first time he entered the scarlet dimension, with a very obvious qualitative change.

Maybe the next time he encounters it, there will be a different result.

However, the change in the quality of mental power alone is not so easy to see.

Moreover, most of the improvements gained by entering the scarlet dimension are purely improvements in psychic knowledge.

Only when he has the spare time to obtain scarlet knowledge, Chen Ming goes back to absorb part of the power belonging to the scarlet and enhance this part of his own power.

But he will not easily mobilize the scarlet power, so it is normal that others cannot see the change.

He also knows very clearly where his bottleneck is, so his behavior does seem to care about something else instead of the psychic power itself.

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Chen Ming said so, and the director of the psychic power institute certainly didn't say much: "Okay, anyway, you shouldn't need any advice from me, so I'll continue to be busy."

"No."

The director of the psychic power institute, who had just turned around, suddenly stopped his action, took out the terminal, clicked a few times, and sent a document to Chen Ming.

"Take a look at this."

Chen Ming didn't take out the terminal, his psychic power could help him see directly that the director of the psychic power sent an application report.

There is a research team on this plane nightmare space station that wants to use a device that is not on the space station to study the body of the plane nightmare.

The equipment is not difficult to get, and the No. 1 Research Center has it.

But the problem is that there is no such equipment on the space station, and there is no extra space to install this new equipment.

So the research team applied to bring some materials of the body of the nightmare of the plane to the ground, and they need to use the fixed equipment of the scientific research center to study.

There are still many problems involved in this matter, so even if Chen Ming does not come to rely on himself today, the director of the psychic power will hand over the application to Chen Ming to decide.

Chen Ming first retrieved the information of the applicants and looked at their past experience.

This group was a scientific research group that was not well-known before.

They have been quietly doing research related to antimatter technology.

Just a few days before Chen Ming's scientific research center was opened to the public, they published a structural optimization plan for antimatter fuel storage devices.

The Empire and Sinda both extended olive branches to them, but they finally took the initiative to choose Chen Ming.

Originally, Chen Ming would at most recruit them to the project team of the main battleship.

But their team leader said that they were actually more interested in the project of the nightmare of the plane.

Although antimatter technology and the nightmare of the plane seem to have nothing to do with each other, Chen Ming still arranged them in the nightmare of the plane project out of respect for these researchers with reliable research results.

After confirming that the team members who applied for this had no identity problems.

Chen Ming seriously considered the possibility and impact of doing so.

At present, the nightmare of the plane project team has developed a technology that can stabilize the nightmare of the plane from turning into a black hole without Chen Ming's personal work, and it is feasible to study the theory on the ground.

It will not be too dangerous, and Chen Ming can rush to solve the problem as soon as possible if there is danger.

However, for Chen Ming, it is better to consider solving the problem from the root instead of considering solving the problem once.

For him, passing this approval and ensuring safety after the approval is far less easy than expanding the space station and providing more space to install equipment.

So Chen Ming directly activated his psychic power.

He has no shortage of materials, design plans, mental strength and free time.

Of course, he can directly expand the space station further.

The space station that originally only half-surrounded the body of the nightmare of the plane completely wrapped the body in just a few tens of seconds.

Chen Ming had installed all the things that should be installed inside the new space station area, and even the afterglow core responsible for this area was sent to the responsible place by Chen Ming.

"Okay, I will reject this application. You ask him to apply for the installation of new equipment in the new area of ​​the space station. Anyway, there is still money. Come to me if there is a shortage."

"Okay."

The director of the psychic power turned and left.

Chen Ming did not stay on the space station any longer.

He boarded the shuttle again, left the space station, and began to orbit Gaia.

Not long after, the shuttle had circled to the other side of the planet.

And here, there should be the wormhole that Chen Ming spent a lot of time and energy to migrate.

But now, the location of the wormhole has been covered by a huge space station.

And the wormhole itself is in the center of the space station.

Chen Ming's psychic power has forcibly stabilized the space station. Combined with some technologies that the empire itself has, it is theoretically feasible to build a space station near the wormhole.

Judging from the well-functioning space station now, it is actually feasible.

The construction of this space station was originally purely for screening and recording people passing through the wormhole.

However, the actual situation is slightly different from what Chen Ming thought at the beginning.

The shuttle quickly entered the port.

Chen Ming's spacecraft was allowed to pass by default, but Chen Ming did not go directly to the core wormhole of the space station through the port, but found a ship position and stopped.

After getting off the ship.

What Chen Ming could see was not a space station with only cold instruments.

It was a space station with a full atmosphere of life, similar to the central city of the pirate space station where Chen Ming had been.
