Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 411 Abnormal Entropy, Abnormal Ship

Bai Ying entered the empire's star domain.

This is the most troublesome situation that Chen Ming least wants to see.

In particular, the location Bai Ying entered happened to belong to the star field under the control of the Fourteenth Legion.

There are many people in this star field that Chen Ming knows and is familiar with.

He immediately brought back the legion commander who was still outside, and without any hesitation, he controlled the spacecraft to make an extreme jump in the direction where Bai Ying disappeared.

Next to him came the somewhat heavy voice of the legion commander in his mutated state: "We can't let it run away."

"I know."

Chen Ming responded briefly, picked up the terminal and contacted the minister of psychic energy.

In fact, when the White Shadow attacked and the front line of the Fourteenth Legion lost contact, the news of this should have been spread back to the empire.

However, under normal circumstances, this matter should not be under the control of the Minister of Psionics, but should be left to the people of the Imperial Military Department.

But Chen Ming is not familiar with the others, and the white shadow is definitely not something that any warship or fleet currently owned by the empire can solve. If you want to solve this thing, it seems that you can only rely on psykers at present.

So he decided to contact the Minister of Psychics.

The communication was quickly connected, and the voice of the minister of psychic energy rang from the terminal: "Hello? Are there any clues about the traces in the ruins I told you about?"

"We'll talk about this later."

The Minister of Psychics still doesn't know what happened to the 14th Legion, but Chen Ming doesn't dare to talk nonsense at all.

He quickly avoided the meaningless topic and told him about the mysterious white shadow he discovered when he accepted the invitation from the legion commander to deal with the disappearance of the Yuhui evacuation fleet.

It focuses on the origin, combat power and exaggerated speed of White Shadow.

After being destroyed once, Bai Ying and Bai Ying were rebuilt into two smaller Bai Ying spaceships and were flying towards the empire.

And, his estimate of the damage that Bai Ying might cause.

The Minister of Psychics always paid attention to the words spoken by Chen Ming himself. When Chen Ming was only halfway through his words, he already said: "I know, and I will arrange suitable psykers to stop it as soon as possible."

"Can you make it in time?"

"I will contact your president, he should be able to help."

"OK."

Just when Chen Ming was about to hang up the communication.

The Minister of Psychics suddenly said to Chen Ming again: "In fact, this matter is not all bad. It just happened that the matter was not completely over last time."

"After all, the reputation of our psykers has been affected by the brainwashing of psykers who killed people. As long as things can be done well this time, the attention of the people of the empire can be diverted from the Zuo Jing incident to the current machine race. on things.”

"Let the people of the empire see with their own eyes the threat posed by the white shadow and the machine race, which will help us do a lot of things in the future."

When there are internal conflicts, transferring the conflicts to the outside is obviously the easiest way to achieve results.

Especially when external conflicts are real and may threaten the empire itself.

Chen Ming knew this.

"But we can't let Bai Ying run around."

"Who said we should let it go? I just said that the impact it brings has these benefits for us. What do you think?"

"Oh, that's okay."

"..."

Communication ended.

The regiment commander who had regained his human form and had borrowed a new set of clothes from Chen Ming and was putting it on himself reminded him: "Luo Yi is talking to you about political matters."

"I know."

Obviously after a long period of getting along and that previous collaboration.

The empire, or the Grand Consul himself, and Psychic Minister Luo Yi all had some additional thoughts and considerations about Chen Ming.

It is very purposeful to say something about politics regarding the matter that Chen Ming mentioned today.

The hint is also quite obvious.

Chen Ming is not a fool, of course he can hear it.

"But I don't like it."

The legion commander opened his mouth to say something, but his voice was erased by the effect of the spacecraft's jump at this moment.

The legion commander did not repeat what he said.

Because he knew that Chen Ming could clearly see the shape of his mouth.

"It's useless if you don't like it. When you reach a certain status, everything you do will be related to politics."

Just as Chen Ming continued to jump quickly towards the territory of the empire, the empire also entered a state of alert under Chen Ming's warning.

The two white shadow battleships, which were significantly smaller in size and looked like a pair of swing marks, were heading towards the capital of the Fourteenth Star Region.

However, its action path did not directly lock the star capital in a straight line, but locked on the nearest star capital.

On the way, whenever there is any planet with traces of human beings, the two white shadows will deliberately change their direction and approach without any hesitation.

Passing through areas on the planet's surface where electronic signals are most active.

Of course this was not just passing by.

When the White Shadows pass by the planet, they will use cleavers and air mines without mercy, just to cause maximum damage to these places.

The star field of the Fourteenth Legion is the edge star field of the empire, because it can reach the front line of the war first.

It is also a prosperous star region, because the judgment of whether it is a prosperous star region depends on the economy.

The strength of the Fourteenth Legion is not only its military strength and war potential, but the logistics that can guarantee these two is what makes the Star Territory a prosperous Star Territory.

Because of this.

When the enemy attacks the mainland of the empire and within the legion star domain.

The cost they cause to both the economy and people can be quite heavy.

Bai Ying only passed through a dozen galaxies where there were legions of people.

On each planet, two deep cuts were left on the surface of the planet, as well as the associated explosion marks.

The direct economic losses caused to the legion have exceeded the incident in Caimo Star Territory.

The human losses are even more incalculable.

The trouble at that time was at least confined to an industrial planet.

But Bai Ying doesn't care what kind of planet the target is when it attacks, especially when its target goes straight to the capitals of various star regions.

The ultimate loss is immeasurable.

The local fleet had no ability to resist in front of Bai Ying.

As long as it is slightly in the path of the white shadow, the entire fleet will become a piece of cosmic dust.

In just a few minutes, the number of ships lost exceeded 6,000.

Far more than the overall losses of more than a year of war between the empire and the mechanical race star field.

And the psychics in different stations also suffered varying degrees of casualties.

At this moment, the legion headquarters alone counted four legion psychics who had died while trying to block Bai Ying.

Three 4th level psykers and one 3rd level psyker.

There was no chance of resistance.

Two level 5 psychics were seriously injured and barely managed to survive.

This is also the idea that Bai Ying simply passes through the human planets it encounters on its way, and only attacks them for a round, and does not stay in a certain place for a long time to completely destroy human beings.

Otherwise, these people's losses will be even more severe.

The damage Bai Ying received was close to zero, or in other words, zero.

Its combat effectiveness is at least several eras away from the Empire's battleships.

No military force can effectively limit and counterattack it.

But fortunately, the situation did not continue to be bad.

When this pair of white shadows attacked the nineteenth galaxy it passed through, it was also the third galaxy it had just attacked after the capital of a sector.

Their movements suddenly stopped.

Although its speed is not slowed down, the distance it travels in space is zero.

In the cosmic environment near the two white shadows, two people wearing protective suits suddenly appeared suspended in the universe.

"Finally caught up."

The president's voice reached another person's ear through the intercom built into the protective suit.

Another person sensed the white shadow trapped in the solidified space and asked, "Is this the white shadow that Chen Ming was talking about?"

"Don't talk nonsense, solving it is the most important thing."

"I know, but why are there just the two of us?"

Although he said not to talk nonsense, the president still explained: "Others are still in the process of moving in space, let's come here to restrict it first."

"Got it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of psychic energy was released from his body, approaching the two white shadows trapped in this extremely tight space.

But before the psychic waves even touched that space, the president discovered that the area blocked by his psychic waves suddenly trembled unnaturally.

Bai Ying, who was originally trapped in this locked area, was covered by a sudden pink light, disappeared into this space, and appeared behind the two of them.

Several chopping psychic energy waves struck instantly.

The president immediately released a layer of space barrier around his body to block the attack, which seemed to be extremely close to space cutting.

But the psyker next to him suddenly moved, and his body moved dozens of centimeters.

The next moment, the psyker's body suddenly split into two from the left shoulder to the right rib, and the organs instantly sprayed out from the severed gap.

The president couldn't help but said: "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

But the psyker couldn't hear the president's words.

Because the communication receiving function of the protective suit was also damaged in the attack just now.

The white shadow did not continue to attack after escaping from the limitations of space, but fled towards the edge of the galaxy.

The president ignored them.

Because when he locked the space where Bai Ying was, he also used psychic energy to seal off the entire galaxy and temporarily constructed this galaxy into an independent space.

Just like when he blocked the entire galaxy infected by Scarlet in order to prevent Scarlet from leaking out.

He temporarily removed this space from the normal universe. Although this space area is still in its original position, it can be said that this space has lost contact with the normal universe.

He is a true space psyker, so it is not difficult to do this.

He temporarily sealed Shiro within this galaxy.

It would take Bai Ying at least ten seconds to reflect the true situation of this space through repeated space jumps.

And just then.

A Supreme Point ship received special permission from the president and arrived in this temporary independent space.

The legion commander immediately sent the psyker, whose internal organs had scattered several meters away, to the infirmary at the highest point.

Chen Ming, who was at the highest point, had just received the news that the president had successfully stopped Bai Ying. He had just driven to the highest point and arrived at this space.

Then I found that the president brought a bunch of unknown items to the infirmary.

Chen Ming rushed over immediately and saw a bloody mass of something that was probably human on the floor of the infirmary.

His upper and lower halves have been completely separated, and his internal organs have been completely displaced.

The trachea, left lung, esophagus, stomach, and liver were all split in two, and even a small piece of the bottom of the heart was cut off.

But this mass still had its last breath.

Several Zerg tentacles immediately grew out of Chen Ming's left hand, and a large amount of life-sustaining fluid was secreted, wrapping the fragmented body in a cocoon and protecting it.

A tentacle took off the helmet on the broken protective suit.

Chen Ming asked with an expression of no surprise: "Hu Yi? Didn't you go into hibernation?"

Hu Yi, who followed the president to stop Bai Ying and was still barely conscious, spit out blood and said: "How can hibernation be hiding from you and having fun everywhere?"

In fact, when the president dragged Hu Yi back, Chen Ming had already noticed the extremely familiar psychic fluctuations.

He even considered throwing Hu Yi directly into space.

However, although they had conflicts before, no matter what, Hu Yi had apologized in person, and Chen Ming was too lazy to pursue anything, so he should be saved.

After reinforcing the cocoon that held Hu Yi's body to prevent him from moving around, so that he could repair the damage to his organs.

Chen Ming asked the president, "What's wrong with this guy?"

"The white shadow suddenly escaped from the blocked space and attacked us. I blocked it with the space barrier, but he wanted to try it with his entropy armor, and then..."

The legion leader who had just come to the door of the infirmary couldn't help but say after hearing what the president said, "Do you like to act like that?"

"Don't scold me, I really want to understand how it works."

"How can you risk your life to try it?"

Chen Ming asked back speechlessly, and tore open the cocoon that wrapped Hu Yi.

Hu Yi's internal organs have all returned to their positions, and all the damage to his body has been repaired.

The body of a psychic whose psychic power does not strengthen the body is no different from that of an ordinary person.

As long as the spiritual nerves in the brain are not damaged, people will basically not die.

After Hu Yi landed, he moved around for a while and asked Chen Ming: "You didn't do anything strange to my body, did you?"

"I can't say. Even if I don't want to do it, I have to save you, right?"

"... Then..."

Chen Ming waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I really don't care about the past, but I can't miss such a good opportunity, right?"

"Help me do things for five years, and then I will find a way to remove the influence of my spiritual power."

The president on the side was also happy to see Hu Yi suffer. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Hu Yi encountering such a thing.

The legion commander was not familiar with Hu Yi at all, and didn't mind what Chen Ming was doing.

Hu Yi didn't argue with Chen Ming much. After all, if Chen Ming wasn't there, he would be in danger today, and he really had nothing to say to Chen Ming.

So he quickly changed the subject and said, "Wait, let's not talk about the previous things. I'm here to help after all. The white shadow hasn't been dealt with yet."

"Yes, so what are you here for?"

Chen Ming's slightly sarcastic words made Hu Yi unhappy, but he didn't dare to talk to Chen Ming at all.

He could only explain honestly: "You know my psychic power is entropy control. As long as the entropy of a space is completely removed, a space of absolute zero can be created."

"In this space, light can be slowed down, and the white shadow should be no exception."

"But my psychic power can't restrict it. The process of entropy reduction takes time."

"We have to find a way to fix it first, so that we can create an area of ​​absolute zero."

"Is that so."

Chen Ming said it in a question sentence, but his actual tone was very normal.

After all, he used this trick when he beat the jellyfish Leviathan.

He began to have the Purgatory Core of the Shining Civilization Relic in his hand, which can completely achieve a similar effect.

Although there is no way to achieve true absolute zero, after all, the Purgatory Core is just a device after all, and it has an upper limit on its output power.

However, as long as the speed of light can be limited, the actions of the jellyfish Leviathan can be limited.

Chen Ming did not think of using this method at the beginning when he was fighting with Bai Ying.

After all, entropy control itself takes a certain amount of time, and it may not be easy to use against a high-speed existence like Bai Ying.

And there is no way to determine the specific effect.

In addition, the first wave of space restrictions did work. If the shattered Bai Ying had not suddenly reconstructed two new Bai Ying spaceships, this method would not have been necessary to bring it up again.

But Hu Yi did not seem to understand what Chen Ming meant, but affirmed: "That's it, this method is good, right?"

"Where did you learn it?"

"I thought of it myself."

"I told him."

Hu Yi and the president spoke at the same time, and an awkward atmosphere suddenly spread in the infirmary.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, and deal with it as soon as possible."

The president did not continue to make Hu Yi lose face, after all, Bai Ying had already discovered that something was wrong with this space when they were communicating.

"My mental power is consumed very quickly. This blockade of a galaxy consumes too much energy. I need to get rid of it as soon as possible."

"Wait, it consumes a lot?"

Chen Ming raised his hand and a small mountain of plastic bottles appeared out of thin air beside him.

Looking at the labels on the bottles, these are all drugs used to restore mental power.

"This..."

"My fairy tree has reached the periodic leaf shedding period. It just so happens that I have built a drug production line at my place during this period."

"I don't need these medicines. I can recover much faster than taking medicine."

"President, look..."

"Okay...but you can resist it for a while at best. If you eat too much, you will become resistant."

The president picked up a few bottles of medicine and poured it into his mouth. He said to Chen Ming in a slightly vague voice: "You take the lead, and I will cooperate with you."

"good."

Chen Ming has the experience of destroying Bai Ying once. It is obviously the best choice for him to actively guide the use of space psychic energy to block Bai Ying.

Chen Ming also knew that this time he would use his space ability to block Bai Ying for a shorter time than before.

So suddenly we have to seize the most critical opportunity.

At this time, Bai Ying truly discovered the anomaly in the space, and the source of the anomaly was obviously the two people who had just arrived in the galaxy, and the spacecraft that had just arrived.

But Baiying has set its current target on planets in the galaxy that are completely undefended for it.

The purpose of his passing here was to attack the empire's colonies. Since the way out was blocked, it was a feasible way to complete his purpose first.

However, everyone present except Hu Yi was not a fool, and they could all think of the possibility that Bai Ying would ignore them and attack the planet.

When Bai Ying moved again, several planets in the galaxy were already protected by space isolation layers.

Bai Ying's surprise attack had no effect other than reducing his own speed.

Chen Ming even let Chen Ming seize this opportunity and put the first layer of twisted space around it.

The president immediately followed suit, and another form of space blockade was applied to the outer layer.

Even if Bai Ying has the ability to soften himself and escape from the twisted space, he cannot escape from two layers of blocked spaces in a short period of time.

Moreover, Chen Ming and the president had no intention of stopping at all. The two psykers who mastered the power of space went up layer by layer, using different space blocking methods to create more than a dozen monsters around Bai Ying. The layers of chaos distort the space to the extreme.

Not to mention coming out directly, even if Bai Ying wanted to use the previous method to teleport out, there was no way to confirm the coordinates of the space in this chaotic space.

Hu Yi also followed up immediately after confirming that the space blockade was successful. This time his entropy control ability successfully acted near Bai Ying.

All particles in this area are losing their activity.

The temperature is gradually approaching absolute zero.

When this area truly reaches absolute zero, there will be no need to continue to maintain the space blockade.

At this moment, Hu Yi suddenly said: "Something's wrong. The entropy increase of this Baiying spacecraft is very abnormal. Its entropy increase rate is wrong."

"Quickly kill it!"

At this time, the legion commander entered the mutation state again and was sent into this sealed space by Chen Ming.

He opened the dragon's mouth, and blue-white energy beams burst out from the mouth.

Under Hu Yi's precise control of entropy, this space close to absolute zero not only had no impact on the legion commander, but even further aggravated the effect of the torrent of blue and white energy.

The torrent of energy bombarded Bai Ying's hull like before.

Destroying its structure.

Once again approaching Bai Ying's core.

This time, before the energy torrent hit the core.

The core of one of the white shadows suddenly shattered and exploded.

A mechanical, lifeless but extremely powerful spiritual energy wave swept across the surrounding area.

In an instant, the heavy siege set up by Chen Ming and the president was eliminated.

The other Baiying, which was not regarded as the first target by the legion commander, took this opportunity to escape again.

With the help of the aftermath of the psychic fluctuations caused by the self-destruction of the White Shadow, it broke out of the blockade set up by the president at the edge of the galaxy and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Bai Ying's escape again made everyone a little annoyed and worried.

This is just a vanguard sent by the Machine Tribe to investigate, and it can throw off several of their psykers' joint pursuits several times.

If the Machine Clan really invades the country with an army, then...

Since Chen Ming had considered this issue before, he once again pulled the legion commander back without a moment's hesitation, and controlled the highest point to jump.

Everything else can be discussed later. For now, the priority is to deal with Bai Ying.

At the same time, he also asked Hu Yi: "You just said there was something wrong with Bai Ying, right?"

Hu Yi answered honestly: "No matter what the output power of the spacecraft engine is, there is an upper limit, the efficiency of temperature increase is also upper limit, and the speed of entropy increase is also the same."

"But something is wrong with Bai Ying. Not only is the efficiency of entropy increase strange, but also..."

"The speed of entropic activity is the final temperature, do you understand?"

"Its entropy growth rate and activity have exceeded the temperature it should show."

"So what's the reason?"

Hu Yi looked like you were asking me and said, "How do I know?"

Chen Ming nodded slightly, thinking about Hu Yi's words and some details he had observed before. .

The shriveled organs in his body, the rusted hulls he saw, and the changes in the legion commander's body...

Taken together, these individual anomalies appear to have no direct connection.

Chen Ming couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

There is no other way, let’s continue the pursuit.

After killing Bai Ying, he can figure out what happened to Bai Ying.
