Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 388 Leak

Not long after Chen Ming left the satellite, he received another message from the afterglow core of the Gaia satellite.

It was the same team, and it was a new application.

The leader of the team applied to install a few more layers of magnetic levitation vacuum partitions on the ground connection part, and then wanted to isolate a separate space inside the dome to make a partition area.

Chen Ming approved it and turned around to continue doing his own thing.

He had just taken off at this time, and had not had time to leave the gravitational orbit of the planet, and was still in the Origin Galaxy.

Since he had returned from Fan Chao, he might as well go to the Star Devourer Space Station next to the star in the galaxy.

There were already signs of research on weapons against the new Leviathan, so he must pay attention to the Star Devourer project that can help ships enter the star.

It is not enough to thoroughly understand the current project progress by looking at those brief reports every day, so I still have to go there in person.

The Star Devourer itself has many projects worth studying, and there will certainly be a project team that uses the technology obtained from the Star Devourer for combat.

Under the entire combat project team, there will be different combat teams such as the surface, ocean, and space.

Under these combat research teams, there will be several smaller teams of different types and tendencies, and the personnel composition is quite complex.

The project team on the Plane Nightmare Space Station is basically the same.

Although it looks troublesome and difficult to manage.

But the benefits are here.

When Chen Ming needs it, he can quickly find the right person to do the right thing, and he doesn't need to worry about everything.

Of course, he still has to be careful not to make a big scene.

He just came to confirm the progress of the technology he needed, not to interfere with other people's research.

So Chen Ming's spaceship did not wander around after it took off, and flew directly to the Star Devourer Space Station. After getting off the ship, he immediately went to the project team that was studying the Star Devourer armor of space ships that he needed most.

Chen Ming's arrival attracted a little attention.

But he moved quickly and immediately left the public view with the team leader of the project team and went to the team leader's office.

When the team leader learned that Chen Ming wanted to know about the status of the project, he smiled and told Chen Ming that they had just made a breakthrough yesterday.

The star-eating armor studied by their project team is currently named artificial star-eating interlayer armor.

It does not need to be thick when installed outside the armor and between the armor and the hull. It only needs to be able to isolate the heat energy of the star, so that the warship can enter the star after installing the star-eating armor.

As for the breakthrough he mentioned, the test of theoretical data has been fully completed.

The rest is to manufacture the actual finished product and test it.

In the normal research process, theoretical perfection does not mean that it is almost done. In fact, only when the theory is perfected can the subsequent actual testing begin, and there is still a lot of work waiting.

But Chen Ming still left there very satisfied.

Because when the theory of a technology has been successful, he can already use his own psychic energy to manufacture the product of such technology and directly conduct subsequent tests.

Even from the data, not all stars can enter and exit stably at present.

After all, there are many types of stars, and the internal temperatures of different stars are also different.

But not to mention the hottest A and B type stars, at least the stars of the lower levels can enter and exit freely after the ship is equipped with the star-eating armor. As long as they are not directly penetrated from the outermost armor all the way to the hull, the armor can continue to work.

As for the star-eating armor of stars with higher protection strength, it is only a matter of Chen Ming's psychic optimization.

The armor technology is no problem.

The only thing left is the weapons against the jellyfish Leviathan that he and Fan Chao cooperated on.

Chen Ming did not stay in his territory for too long. After a brief chat with the heads of several important projects, he returned to Fan Chao and continued his previous work.

And a few days passed again.

The Empire asked Chen Ming what technology he needed before the transaction with the survivors.

The Empire could let Chen Ming choose the technology he needed, and they would organize the technology for trading with the survivors.

But Chen Ming refused.

He didn't want to have anything to do with the survivors.

Because he felt more and more that there was definitely a big problem with this group of survivors.

Some time ago, they were able to discover the existence of the Star Devourer, knew that he had fought with the Star Devourer, and took the initiative to promote that they knew the weakness of the Star Devourer.

This means that they must have discovered the situation in which he and the three-color Leviathan clashed later.

After all, the distance between the galaxy where the Star Devourer exists and the galaxy where the three-color Leviathan last stayed is not too far.

With the technology of the survivors and the shining civilization, this is definitely not difficult.

But the survivors did not contact him at that time.

Chen Ming had waited for several hours before, not only for the Leviathan to appear, but also for the call from the survivors.

However, there was no call.

The possible hidden situation really made Chen Ming very worried.

Of course, it is also possible that after he rejected the survivors last time, the survivors did not intend to stick to the cold butt this time.

But Chen Ming clearly felt that the survivors were very concerned about the matters related to the Empire and him during the transactions conducted by the survivors.

He lost in the battle with Leviathan, and there was no follow-up. The survivors should be very interested.

But the survivors still didn't.

So Chen Ming only kept paying attention to the survivors, but never got involved with them.

As long as he could find any flaws of the survivors, he would rush over and kill the troublesome survivors completely.

At present, he is still monitoring the three-color star and the Leviathan inside the three-color star, while developing new weapons for Leviathan at the Fanchao Research Institute.

With his help, the progress of weapon development can be said to be very fast.

At present, several targeted new weapons have been developed and can be put into practical use.

Chen Ming also thinks it's almost done.

Anyway, after a technology has no problem in theory, the remaining large-scale installation is his own business.

He is ready to face Leviathan.

After thinking about it, he decided to solve the first one among the red M-type stars with the lowest star temperature.

It was also the Leviathan that the blue jellyfish Leviathan guided out last.

Chen Ming had prepared the fleet and weapons in advance.

But just when he was about to leave.

He received an emergency notice from the afterglow core of the Gaia satellite.

Negative matter leaked.

"It happened to be at this time."

Chen Ming did not hesitate at all, and immediately used psychic energy to reach the sky above the dome he specially set up on the satellite.

When he just arrived, a heavy breath that he had never felt before was shrouding the dome, giving Chen Ming a little psychological pressure.

Although there was no problem with the dome at first glance.

But in his psychic perception, the vacuum isolation layer at the bottom of the dome was damaged.

A large amount of negative matter will penetrate into the satellite through this gap.

The range that is expected to be affected is at least one-third of the size of the satellite.

This is not something Chen Ming said casually, but he really felt it.

Before he had a concept of negative matter, and had actually come into contact with a large amount of negative matter.

The moment he arrived here, he really felt the existence of negative matter that he had never been able to touch before.

He could feel that everything that was fused with negative matter and controlled by him was so heavy at this moment.

Although it only takes a little time to adapt to this heaviness, it will no longer be a heavy feeling, but who knows whether this situation is good or bad.

Chen Ming glanced at the surroundings of the dome from the sky, and all the people in the project team had appeared outside the dome at this time.

They were not in trouble.

This may be considered good news, no matter what the specific cause of the leak accident was...

Chen Ming activated his psychic power again and appeared in the laboratory inside the dome.

And quickly came to the place where the vacuum isolation layer at the bottom of the dome had the first problem.

This is the area where the body of the nightmare of the plane is stored.

It is tightly protected by various isolation facilities and security facilities.

It is obviously protected like this, but there is still a problem.

Is this an accident... or man-made?

With suspicion, Chen Ming once again used his psychic power to sense the condition of the facility he had built himself.

After entering the facility that was now completely infiltrated by negative matter, Chen Ming felt that the heaviness of this area was getting more and more serious, and he could also more clearly sense the path of the negative matter leakage.

Although this made him feel very uncomfortable, it also allowed him to quickly sense what happened.

After some inspection, Chen Ming came to a conclusion.

The cause of the accident was that too many safety facilities were installed on the storage facility, causing all the negative matter to be piled up in it.

The density of the negative matter accumulation was too high, and eventually the equipment was overwhelmed and leaked.

Chen Ming once again called up the list of project team members and checked the information of each of them in detail.

There was no problem with the information, and everyone's identity was innocent.

He sighed slightly.

It seemed that this matter could only be like this, it was considered man-made and accidental.

He could not pursue anything.

So after Chen Ming used psychic power to repair the damage to the facility, he removed some of the safety devices installed on the equipment that stored negative matter.

In addition, a new negative matter diversion device was built, which can store some negative matter separately. After the device for detecting negative matter confirms that the density of negative matter exceeds a certain limit, all the negative matter in this diversion device will be sent to the Plane Nightmare Space Station.

Anyway, there is no shortage of negative matter there.

After doing this and confirming that the condition of the laboratory has been restored to its original state.

Chen Ming turned his head and looked at the research equipment that was still running in the central area of ​​the laboratory.

There was a lot of data jumping on it, which was automatically recorded by the computer.

Chen Ming felt that this was no longer a question of how much valuable data could be recorded, but whether there were enough people to study these valuable data.

And the negative matter had already spread out completely.

In just a few tens of seconds since he came here, the planet had already merged a large amount of accumulated negative matter.

Although this made him feel that the entire planet had an extra sense of weight, in a sense it was not a purely bad thing.

Because he could indeed feel that the entire planet was stabilized in space by some force, but there were many places on the planet that had not yet been infiltrated by negative matter and were still in an unstable state.

This unique structure is very valuable for research.

It almost allows a small project team that was originally just extended from the nightmare of the plane to even have the possibility of competing with the corpse project team of the nightmare of the plane with this situation.

However, we have to wait for two days to see. Chen Ming needs to analyze the situation of the planet specifically later.

See if this can be done, and whether it is too dangerous.

Chen Ming can't blame the project team for what happened today.

Negative matter itself is dangerous, and there is definitely no problem with adding more safety facilities.

Even if the team does not install new security facilities, after the density of negative matter slowly accumulates, the facilities may leak, but it will be a few days later.

After all, the ground is not like space. Although there is a corpse of the nightmare of the plane in space that continuously emits negative matter, there is no dual restriction of narrow space and vacuum environment in space like on the ground.

Chen Ming can't stop them from doing this, right?

So in the end, Chen Ming could only deal with today's affairs and go outside the dome to talk to the team leader.

It can be seen that the team leader is also very nervous and scared. He seems to have never expected that negative matter will leak. He stuttered when talking to Chen Ming.

The team leader repeatedly assured him that he would not do anything extra in the future.

Chen Ming let him continue to do what he should do.

After all, he has been on the space station close to the corpse of the nightmare of the plane for so long, and it is nothing for him to continue to work on a planet that has just merged negative matter.

He also decisively agreed.

After Chen Ming left and the team leader returned to the team members.

The team member who knew that the team leader wanted to install additional safety equipment immediately said to the team leader: "Don't do anything unnecessary."

"I know."

The team leader's nervous eyes suddenly flashed a trace of confusion, but he quickly stood calmly.

For a moment, his expression was completely free of the tension and anxiety when Chen Ming talked about the previous incident.

The team member in front of him seemed to have noticed this, and just when he was about to say something, he found that the team leader seemed to be fine, as if he had just seen it wrong.

The team leader did not talk much with the team members, but turned his head to look at the dome. The only thing he saw was the body fragments of the nightmare of the plane that were re-placed in the new dome.

Chen Ming, who had just left, observed the situation of the team members from a distance for a while through the dome's monitoring.

After not finding any problems, he chose to put the accident that had just happened aside for the time being.

Chen Ming turned around.

He still planned to continue to cause trouble for Leviathan.

The episode just now did not affect his thoughts, and even made him more eager to solve Leviathan as soon as possible.

He can face troubles, but he does not want to face multiple troubles inside and outside at the same time.

Without knowing whether the internal problems will have other effects in the future, solving Leviathan, which has a clear impact in the future, is the most important thing for him to do.

The reorganized Zerg fleet led by Chen Ming soon appeared inside the M-type star system.

The radiation value in the galaxy is several times higher than when Leviathan just appeared before.

Obviously, Leviathan hides in the star not because of his deterrence, but because they are doing some special behavior.

Chen Ming no longer wastes time.

A Hercules-class equipped with new weapons rushed straight to the star.

The spacecraft penetrated the material on the surface of the star.

Under the protection of the stellar armor, the Zerg warship successfully entered the interior of the star.

The biological sensors of the spacecraft can only see a blood-red color inside the M-type star.

Fortunately, the volume of this M-type star is not large. After searching, Chen Ming still scanned the traces of Leviathan inside the star.

At this time, the red jellyfish-shaped Leviathan is still competing with the star.

The situation is still the same as before. The spectrum of the same frequency allows the star to absorb Leviathan matter.

Especially in the star, the matter on Leviathan's body has always been missing.

But correspondingly, the red jellyfish Leviathan is also absorbing the matter of the star at this time.

And, unlike when it was separated from the star, when the jellyfish Leviathan is inside the star, its efficiency in absorbing stellar matter is higher than the efficiency of the star absorbing it.

So that after staying in the star for a while, this Leviathan is more active than before, which is why Chen Ming found that the radiation in the galaxy is stronger than before.

This scene makes it difficult for Chen Ming not to doubt whether the jellyfish Leviathan and the star eater have any relatives.

Of course, this is just Chen Ming's random thought. In fact, the way the star eater absorbs stellar matter is completely different from that of the jellyfish Leviathan, and there is no close connection between them.

After discovering Leviathan, Chen Ming immediately prepared the Zerg fleet.

However, he took a quick look and found that all the weapon systems of the Zerg battleships that entered the interior of the star were indeed as expected and could not be used in the star.

Otherwise, the weapons would be destroyed and might not even have any effect.

So Chen Ming still followed the previously planned plan and directly controlled the battleship to rush towards the Leviathan.

But it was different from the previous battle with Leviathan. This time the battleship did not slow down when entering the range, nor did it convert the organs and tissues of the battleship into energy crystals.

It simply crashed into the source and hit the body of the red Leviathan.

The effect was very obvious.

It was obvious that after the Zerg battleship hit this time, a huge piece of the outermost stellar armor appeared directly, and the internal biomass and metal fusion armor also showed obvious damage.

But this is nothing, a battleship is nothing, the key lies in the situation of Leviathan.

And the body of the red Leviathan did sink with the impact of the Zerg battleship, and there was even a large piece of scratches.

But just like the damage caused by Chen Ming's fleet firing live ammunition, these injuries recovered almost instantly.

The collision actually had no effect.

Even the Zerg fleet that hit it was burned violently by an electromagnetic pulse that could be easily detected on the surface of the star the next moment.

At a close distance, it was completely burned before it could even self-destruct.

As the star-eating armor on the spacecraft was destroyed, the entire battleship soon melted in the scorching heat of the star.

The red Leviathan did not make any further moves, and had no intention of leaving the star to destroy the other battleships that Chen Ming had deployed near the star.

It seems that ordinary means are meaningless.

Although Leviathan hid in the star for some reason, it still has the ability to easily destroy Chen Ming's battleship.

In this case, the more it wants to do something, the less Chen Ming will let it do it.

Soon, another Zerg battleship emerged from the fleet composed of the last battleship brought by Chen Ming.

However, this Zerg battleship is different from most battleships and the one just now.

Its size is larger than that of an ordinary battleship, and it is even close to the size of the Titan-class battleship in design.

A battleship of this size is of course an abnormal existence.

Its structural strength is forcibly supported by the psychic power of the Queen of Insects. If there is no psychic power, its structure would have collapsed long ago.

It does not carry any weapons, only armor and an empty chamber inside the battleship.

But this chamber will soon not be empty.

Chen Ming's psychic power acts on this battleship, and he constantly uses the resources he has to create something on the battleship.

A kind of artificial material that it has only known and developed not long ago, and it is also the most promising artificial material in the empire today.

Artificial star-eating fluid.

Although Chen Ming did not master the star-eating power of the star-eating body, he at least used the corpse to master some other abilities.

Star-eating fluid can suppress the spread of stellar radiation, which is something Chen Ming knows very well.

When a huge amount of stellar fluid is released from the interior of a star on a large scale, it will inevitably interfere with the normal existence of the star and further affect the situation in the galaxy.

But there are no habitable planets in these three galaxies, and there is no sign of life on the planets in the galaxies.

Chen Ming doesn't care what will happen to the star.

He can use this method without any psychological burden.

Chen Ming's letting his spaceship enter the star is just the first step, and finding a way to let the ghosts come out to fight is the key.

Almost any technical means currently mastered by humans cannot be effective inside the star, including weapons of course.

So he must do this first.

The manufacturing ability of psychic energy continues to play a role. After this huge and bloated Zerg battleship entered the interior of the star, the stellar fluid in its body has accumulated to the extreme.

But Chen Ming continued to create new stellar fluid inside, until it was about to touch the red Leviathan.

At the moment when the strength of the battleship could no longer support it.

The entire battleship exploded.

This was not a self-explosion, but was blown up by the internal pressure.

A huge amount of stellar fluid was released into the entire star.

Although this "huge amount" is nothing compared to the star, for Leviathan, which is close at hand, these stellar fluids are enough to interfere with the stellar matter near it.

And this interference obviously stimulated Leviathan.

It finally took action, turned around and left the star, emerged from the surface of the star, and stared at Chen Ming's fleet.

The radiation intensity in the galaxy increased again, and electromagnetic pulses appeared again around Leviathan's body.
