Chapter 405 Summary

Just after Chen Ming confirmed through his boss that the brainwashed psychic finally escaped from the direction of the leader of the negative matter research group that had caused trouble on his territory some time ago.

Chen Ming suddenly remembered that he seemed to have the phone number of that leader.

The brainwashed psychic controlled the body, so he should not directly throw away the terminal of the body.

So Chen Ming took out his terminal and made a call.

What he didn't expect was that the call was actually broadcast.

Chen Ming's expression suddenly became serious.

Because this call can be broadcast, it means that the terminal receiving the communication must be within the coverage range of the communication signal of his colony.

Chen Ming immediately thought about the signal coverage range of his colony.

However, as he thought about it carefully, he suddenly found that this seemed to be a very large area.

He had never properly developed the star field behind the wormhole before.

Because the way of development by the Zerg was too rough.

So Chen Ming wanted to use the afterglow to slowly develop the world behind the wormhole.

And he had just completely controlled Yuhui, so the development progress could be said to be quite slow.

Chen Ming couldn't just leave those galaxies to be developed there, so in order to roughly control the surrounding areas, he dropped reconnaissance equipment in many places.

These devices of course need communication signals to transmit the information they detected.

Therefore, the actual coverage of his communication signal is quite large.

As a result, he can't narrow down the location information of the brainwashed psychic to a location that can be determined immediately.

If you really want to find it, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But you have to try it.

While Chen Ming tried to track the sent signal with psychic power, he continued to pay attention to the situation of the broadcast phone.

Then, something even more unexpected happened to him.

The phone was connected.

But there was no talk on the other end of the phone.

But Chen Ming knew very well that the other end must be a brainwashed psychic.

Chen Ming asked into the phone: "Hello? Where are you? Can you tell me?"

"..."

The brainwashed psychic, who was originally quite cheerful and loved to talk to Chen Ming, hung up the phone in silence, and seemed to be quite stimulated.

At the same time, Chen Ming's attempt to track him also failed.

The signal he was tracking suddenly lost all traces, and there was no possibility of tracking at all.

There was no way.

Chen Ming could only put this matter aside for the time being.

At least when the brainwashed psychic left, all the external forces that could be used were stripped away, and he would not pose too many threats to himself at least in the near future.

Moreover, the psychic power of the brainwashed psychic needs people, at least life forms with a certain degree of intelligence to work.

And in the area covered by Chen Ming's communication signal, all planets with life forms have been left with monitoring equipment.

Although the large range makes it difficult for Chen Ming to track the brainwashed psychic, it also makes it difficult for him to find the object to activate the ability.

Unless, he can find a way to enter the scarlet... or... the survivors.

Just now, when Chen Ming tried to track the communication signal, he suddenly couldn't find it. This was very similar to the situation when he found the survivor communicator and tried to track the survivor through the survivor communicator but couldn't track it.

The survivors themselves have bad intentions and have a high level of monitoring of the area around the wormhole.

Chen Ming doesn't believe that they can't find the brainwashed psychic if they run away.

And once they find the brainwashed psychic, they will inevitably make contact.

Maybe they will find a way to capture the brainwashed psychic, after all, it is a good research object for human civilization.

But it is also possible that they will cooperate with the brainwashed psychic, after all, their goals are the same.

"Scarlet... survivor..."

Chen Ming felt that he needed to increase the frequency of entering the scarlet dimension in the future.

Coincidentally, he also learned some interesting abilities about scarlet from the brainwashed psychic, and he had to experiment with them.

But now...

Chen Ming shook his head, turned around and contacted the Minister of Psionics, intending to continue to cooperate with them to deal with all the remaining things in the empire.

This cooperation lasted for two months.

The impact of the brainwashed psychic's actions on the empire is not limited to the 60 million people.

Because during Chen Ming's pursuit of the brainwashed psychic, the brainwashed psychic abandoned part of his brain several times, and he finally abandoned all the people controlled by him and escaped alone.

Chen Ming did not hold back on these people.

Because once he stopped and did not kill that part of the brain directly, the brainwashed psychic would have a chance to escape from his pursuit with almost no loss.

And this series of pursuits eventually led to the death of the empire's population reaching 4.3 billion.

Among them, several colonized planets completely controlled by brainwashed psychics turned into a purgatory.

The number of people controlled by brainwashed psychics far exceeded anyone's initial estimate.

This number is actually the population of a high-density habitable planet in the empire, and it is not even as different from the number of people who died on Yunluo Star in Caimo Star Region.

But when these 4.3 billion people are scattered throughout the empire, including members of different social organizations such as the government, the army, and local organizations, and even important members.

The impact of this incident cannot be minimized.

The high-level officials of the government and the army died, and the core members and personnel of Yuhui arranged by the Empire were there to fill the gap.

But the high-level officials of other civil organizations and different companies died in unclear circumstances, and they must be explained.

Moreover, the people in the government and the army are not just machines that know how to work.

The dead also have family and friends, and there are relationships between superiors and subordinates.

This has led to many problems in government departments in many places.

There are not many cases in the army, after all, the rules of the army are stricter than the law.

But the chaos at the government level is really not limited to the chaos caused by the death of management.

It is not to the point of rebellion.

But as long as there are some people with ulterior motives secretly guiding, things will go in an unpredictable direction.

Especially when the Empire announced after the incident that the cause of the incident was related to the psychic leader of the cult Lud Zuojing.

There are also many rats lurking in the gutter coming out, and some even raised the banner of Zuojing, wanting to inherit their legacy.

Such a big empire is always not short of dark corners.

The rats were dealt with quickly.

It was just that the problems at the government level did cause a lot of trouble for the empire's reorganization.

However, as long as there were no problems with the main body, the problems in other branches were basically not a problem.

Even if many people died in the main body, not all of them died.

It was not easy for brainwashed psychics to infiltrate the empire.

After all, the empire's attitude towards psychics was relatively general in the early days, and many protective measures were taken against psychics.

It was not the case that a government department would be completely destroyed if it was invaded.

After all, there were still some people who were not affected and controlled.

At the same time, not everyone was overwhelmed by sadness and pain.

There would always be someone who found opportunities in this incident and took the initiative to cater to the empire's way of doing things.

They, as well as the Yuhui cores controlled by Chen Ming, are the mainstay of the empire now.

What's more, before Chen Ming really started to act, the Grand Archon was already prepared to face these problems.

Two months.

It was enough to thoroughly deal with all the problems on the surface.

The remaining underlying problems would take time to slowly smooth out.

Chen Ming had a headache for quite some time.

He needed to deploy the Empire's Afterglow Cores to where they should go.

Because his psychic ability could see the ability bias of the Alpha-level Afterglow Cores, he could arrange each Alpha Core to the most suitable position.

It didn't need to be too precise, just a general direction, and someone would help him fill in the remaining details.

But no matter what, this was a matter involving an empire, and it couldn't be easy.

Chen Ming also thought about refusing to do this.

But if he didn't refuse, every Afterglow Core in the Empire would have to go through his hands before it could be used.

So it was a bit difficult for him to refuse.

The Empire and Afterglow had been fighting for hundreds of years,

Afterglow kept making blood in the rear and going to the front line.

The Empire also kept capturing Afterglow in the middle of the battle.

Some of the Afterglow Cores that were willing to surrender to the Empire had already been used.

The vast majority of the rest either refused to surrender or were not easy to use.

After all, the Empire banned the use of AI above the Delta level after the AI ​​war, and only secret industries that were not open to the public could use Afterglow.

Of course, the restrictions on artificial intelligence technology should be gradually relaxed over time, just like the restrictions on psychics.

In short, Chen Ming can access all the Afterglow cores captured during the war between the Empire and Afterglow.

The specific number...

It can only be said that there are about a hundred Alpha-level Afterglow cores in the Afterglow star field controlled by Chen Ming and ready to be relocated.

And the Afterglow cores that the Empire is going to place in various parts of the Empire to replace the lost personnel, there are only about 300 Alpha-level in the first batch, and the remaining Beta and Gamma are countless.

Each one was handed over to Chen Ming to judge the direction before entering the job.

This can only be said.

They gave too much.

Even if it is said that most of the Afterglow cores need to be used in various parts of the Empire, otherwise the Empire may not be stable.

But the remaining ones are also very important to Chen Ming, and he will really lack these Afterglow cores in the future.

Moreover, the afterglow cores used in the empire itself can also bring him some extra gains after he finishes hunting down the brainwashed psychics.

Those afterglows first passed through his hands and were controlled by him before entering the empire.

His power has also penetrated the empire thoroughly.

He can use the afterglow cores to exert different influences on the empire from all aspects.

Chen Ming may not necessarily use this power, but if he holds this power in his hands, he can save a lot of trouble.

In addition, there is the relationship between Chen Ming and the empire.

Chen Ming is often willing to maintain friendly relations with the empire.

But due to the special power of his own, the empire is a collective existence, not an existence that can decide the long-term development direction based on personal preferences.

So it is absolutely impossible to have any close connection with him.

And now, this short-distance cooperation, which only three people knew about, allowed Chen Ming to have more exchanges with the highest leader and the second-in-command of the empire.

Let the few people who really top the entire empire know that Chen Ming really doesn't bother to care about so many things in the empire in many cases.

He really doesn't have any ideas about the empire.

Although this can't change a group, it is enough to change the leader of a group.

In general, it is also beneficial. At least it can allow him to get more help from the ruling class.

After a few more cooperations in the future, many things will become logical.

He is not short of material benefits now. It's good to have some benefits in this regard.

As the matter of Zuo Jing and the brainwashed psychic ended completely in the empire.

Chen Ming also discovered a situation.

That is, things are always interdependent.

Zuo Jing made trouble, causing his satellite to collapse and causing him to fall into scarlet.

But it also allowed him to find the key weakness of the brainwashed psychic, and took this opportunity to completely eliminate the danger of Zuo Jing.

Of course, this also led to a large number of deaths in the empire and a crisis of government chaos.

But it was the crisis of the empire that allowed the empire to expel the poisonous blood and walk more smoothly on the road of development.

It also gave Chen Ming the opportunity to extend his hands into all aspects of the empire.

In general, it was not a loss.

Because Chen Ming had other extra gains.

Tian Zhan.

His existence and his psychic power made it possible to completely stabilize negative matter in the past two months.

Tian Zhan's psychic power is not just purification.

His psychic power is more like a special means of stabilization, like the specialization of the ability of Gaia planetary consciousness, the existence of psychic power.

It can transform all unstable things that originally existed in the normal universe into stable existence.

It was also his psychic power that allowed the satellite that originally existed in the phase and was close to collapse due to negative matter to erase the negative effects brought by negative matter, leaving only the positive effects of negative matter.

The black hole dimension represented by these stable negative matter even has greater research value than the nightmare of the plane itself.

Moreover, Tian Zhan's psychic power and the special connection between the fairy tree and Gaia consciousness.

It also truly made the manufacture of the life seeding device... No, it should be called the Gaia seeding device now possible.

Chen Ming's satellite was the first laboratory object of the Gaia Seeder.

At the same time, Tian Zhan's psychic power also made it possible to erase Scarlet.

Chen Ming's most troublesome problems in the empire and the universe are Zuo Jing and Scarlet.

Zuo Jing has completely stopped making waves.

Scarlet is the only thing Chen Ming really needs to worry about.

And now, the last thing Chen Ming needs to worry about has also found a solution.

He only needs to cultivate Tian Zhan for a while, and Scarlet may no longer be a problem.
