Chapter 432: Long-Lost Reunion

The troubles in the Frontier Star Territory were quickly resolved, but the damage that had been done would not be restored.

In the super body, he took a look at the miserable situation in the galaxy.

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, activated his psychic powers, and disappeared into the galaxy.

soon.

Chen Ming returned to the capital of the empire.

Found the psionic minister who seemed to have just had an argument with someone in the government building in the capital.

If you think about it, you will know that the content of the quarrel must be related to the mechanical tribe.

Chen Ming didn't care who the minister of psychic energy was arguing with. Anyway, in the end, as long as he didn't want to die, there would be a result.

After being taken to a reception room by the psychic minister.

Chen Ming was the first to speak: "The entire fleet has been dealt with. I will leave the scattered mechanical races to the Zerg fleet to deal with. I have already obtained their colossi, and they will be dragged directly to me when the time comes."

"I have seen the design blueprint of the Colossus Construction Factory before, so don't waste your time building it yourself. I will mount it directly to my giant shipyard when the time comes."

"A lot of people have to be sent to the star field behind to deal with it. The entire star field may have hundreds of thousands of people living on the planet where my men went."

Those corpses can't just pile up there, someone has to collect them.

"Actually, there are some people who are more lucky. They were on the spaceship when the machine tribe invaded. If they ran fast, they could still survive, but..."

As he spoke, the minister shook his head. The number of people who could survive this way was definitely not as many as the people who survived in the shelter.

"I understand, someone will handle it when the time comes."

Chen Ming nodded slightly: "Well, so how is the situation in the empire?"

"Every edge star field has been asked to conduct self-examination. Currently, only this mechanical invasion force has been discovered. Everything else is normal."

"Then this is just another test."

"Yes, but it will definitely not be the case next time. The empire has begun to enter a state of complete combat readiness, preparing for all-out war."

"Don't just talk about it, have you discussed any way to deal with the machine race? How to deal with just that super body?"

The minister of psychic energy did not respond directly, but said: "I just talked with your president, and he said that scarlet seems to be no longer a problem now?"

"Yes, I can suppress Scarlet now."

The Minister of Psychics recalled the way Chen Ming was wrapped in scarlet power before and drove around in his super body like a normal person. Even his super body was stained with blood. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Chen Ming said.

He nodded and continued what he just said: "The president can help us send the psykers near the invading super body."

"Then, the super-body data model you left before has been published in the library, and all kinds of data are clearly written."

"Most of the psykers in the empire have statistics. Various physical qualities include nerve reaction speed, body muscle strength, and specific calculations of the specific intensity of psionic effects when using psionic powers."

"By comparison, we can know how many people in the empire can withstand the super body and pose a threat to the super body."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Ming suddenly interrupted the minister and took out the terminal to call up the super body's data.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ming didn't reply, but silently adjusted the specific values ​​of the data on the terminal in front of him.

Soon, Chen Ming reflected the difference between the trial version of the super body and the official version of the super body in the terminal data, and handed the terminal to the minister.

"Let's see how many people can still see the super body."

The minister immediately lowered his head to study the official version of the super body data. His expression quickly changed and he asked: "This is..."

"I said before that the supership I controlled was just a trial model, right?"

"Yes... If we look at this data, the empire can deal with no more than five super-physical psykers. If you include taking various medicines to temporarily strengthen the psychic power, it may be about ten, which is also considered I can handle it.”

"I hope so."

The data on paper will always be just data on paper. Whether or not one can transcend the body depends only on the psyker's own strength.

There may be some psykers on the minister's list who can't defeat metabodies, but there may also be people not on the list who have the right tools to target metabodies.

Chen Ming didn't say any more about the issue of super bodies.

"What about the back? When the mechanical tribe comes, they won't just have super bodies."

The Minister of Psychics responded in a prepared manner: "Everything else is pretty good. As for the fleet, we can only have a few powerful legions on standby in various places. The entire empire's army needs better equipment. "

"The empire has begun to shift its direct industrial planet's productivity to the military. As long as the technology is in place, anything can be said."

Chen Ming could hear the meaning of the minister's words and brought Nami over.

He now represents all the technology of shining civilization.

"You know what this is. When the time comes, I will build you a device that can directly read the data of the nanorobot and extract all the data in its brain."

Nano, who was controlled by Chen Ming, did not lose his self-awareness, so when he heard this, he immediately said: "I can release the data myself, just give me a storage terminal."

Chen Ming stretched out his hand and gestured in the direction of the minister: "Then I'll leave it to you."

As long as all Shining Civilization technologies can be developed, the entire empire will soon usher in a wave of major technological updates.

"But is there enough time?"

"have no idea."

Faced with Chen Ming's question, the minister could not give a definite answer: "It depends on when the next wave of machine invasion will be."

"If we can give it a month, at least the troops on the front line can be replaced with the latest weapons and equipment."

"There's really no guarantee of anything else."

"That's it. Give me a copy of the technical finished product when it comes out, and I'll use it to optimize it. Then you can draw a blueprint directly based on the finished product and use what I've optimized."

"Okay, thank you very much."

"Um."

Chen Ming said no more and stood up to leave.

But before he walked out of the reception room, he suddenly turned around and asked: "How to win this war?"

Some time ago, Chen Ming obtained a star map of the universe.

The star field occupied by countless mechanical races brought uncontrollable shock and fear to everyone.

"We can't say we can win now...the empire doesn't even have the ability to go out."

"The empire must at least survive the formal attack by the mechanical tribe. Only if it survives can it be worthy of discussing the subsequent issues."

Chen Ming was not satisfied with the result.

But this is reality.

Although many methods and strategies have been talked about against the mechanical tribe, it seems that with the technology of Shining Civilization, one can definitely defeat the mechanical tribe.

But in fact, the empire now has no qualifications to challenge the mechanical race that has been in the universe for tens of thousands of years. It must try its best to even survive.

Only Chen Ming could ignore the power of the mechanical clan and essentially crush the mechanical clan.

After leaving the imperial capital.

Chen Ming thought about the super body for a long time.

At the end of the day, there are only three troubles the empire faces.

The invasion of the machine race, the hidden Queen of the Remnants, and the brainwashed psykers who are still not completely dead.

They are all stumbling blocks on the way forward for the empire.

If the empire fell, it would be completely helpless, or even fall to death, which would do him absolutely no good.

But when it comes to the war between the mechanical tribes, he can't help much. The only top combat power he has is himself, plus at most a super body that he controls remotely.

There is absolutely no way to effectively restrict the machine race, it can only depend on the empire itself.

As for the Queen of the Survivors, she has to wait until they run out on their own.

Or maybe Chen Ming’s researchers have made breakthrough progress in the research on that special star gate.

This is not something he can speed up just by worrying about it.

So Chen Ming thought for a while and simply considered the idea that popped into his head before.

It is to use scarlet to limit the invasion of the mechanical clan in disguise.

Create a scarlet cradle for the empire.

But the trouble of brainwashing the psyker would stop him from thinking just then.

If you are not completely dead, you never know when the human finger will pop up again.

Whether it is to have complete peace of mind in the future, or to really use this plan that Chen Ming named Scarlet Cradle Project, it is best to find a way to find a brainwashing psyker in Scarlet and kill him.

But not before that.

Chen Ming found the insect queen first.

Let the insect queen follow the traces left by the Zerg fleets of the previous generations of insect queens in the galaxy and trace them in reverse.

Chen Ming simply left the rest of the matter to the Insect Queen to deal with, and he didn't pay too much attention.

He just spent a few days dragging all the corpses of more than a hundred Leviathan he killed to the orbit of the planet Gaia.

Evenly spread out, and next to each Leviathan corpse, different types of space stations for studying Leviathan were built.

Like a star ring trophy, dotted with the moonless planet Gaia.

Although the war has begun, what needs to be done must be done.

Even if the war starts, it won't affect him so quickly.

After all, he was alone outside the empire, and no mechanical race knew the location of the wormhole.

Time flies so quickly.

Arrived more than twenty days later.

Chen Ming has been trying to find brainwashing psykers in the scarlet dimension but has never been successful.

The chaotic concepts of space and time in the Scarlet Dimension make the search for brainwashed psykers more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

But there is good news.

The mechanical clan has not made any movement in the past period of time.

Therefore, Chen Ming had enough time to help test and optimize the technologies that would soon yield results and could be applied to future wars with the machine race.

These technologies are already being fielded on the front lines.

Judging from Chen Ming's perspective in various parts of the empire, as well as the news coming back from the afterglow cores he controlled that still control some industries in the empire, the empire has indeed shifted the production of many consumer goods to the production of military products.

At least in the border star regions, regular rationing of materials has begun to be implemented, and this situation is already spreading to the star regions within the empire.

It can be said that a lot of excess productivity is indeed used where it should be used.

The empire has indeed put its war preparations on the table.

At the same time, the propaganda machinery of all aspects of the empire was also activated.

Fully announce what the Machine Tribe did during their invasion twenty days ago.

Of course, it also includes the tragic massacres on planets caused by Colossus-level weapons.

Chen Ming even saw the footage of the mechanical race's biological generator on the news that he had recorded before.

This had done a good job of steering public opinion, and the entire empire was now plunged into grief and anger.

There is almost no objection to the fact that the Empire is heading towards war.

As the saying goes, a desperate army will win, but I don’t know if this principle is still useful in the space age.

The Empire has the time to expand its armaments through the Zerg’s Shining Civilization technology and Chen Ming’s optimized psychic energy, but this situation also makes many people extremely worried.

Everyone knows that this is the last calm before the storm.

Preparation is preparation.

No one knows when the mechanical race will launch a second attack and start a real war.

So Chen Ming continues to do what he should do day after day.

Until...

The twenty-seventh day after the last fleet exploration of the mechanical race.

Chen Ming is still running back and forth between the giant dock and the neighboring Gaia planet as usual.

Now the size of the giant dock has expanded a circle compared to before, and the expanded areas are where the Colossus captured by Chen Ming is placed.

Many of the more than a dozen project teams that were originally responsible for the Colossus research in the Empire have come to Chen Ming’s side.

Strive to create the Colossus-class weapons that belong to the Empire as soon as possible.

But no one expected it to be used so soon.

Chen Ming was talking with the director of the ship research institute of the corps in the observation room next to the test field about the design direction of the Empire's Colossus structure when he suddenly received a call from Tian Zhan.

Chen Ming first went to the giant dock on the Gaia planet.

Tian Zhan called at this time, there must be something important.

Chen Ming greeted the director and went outside to answer the phone.

"Director, there are signs of scarlet invasion on an experimental planet I placed outside the Empire."

"All the Gaia plants over there died, and there was no time to suppress the scarlet."

Chen Ming's brows frowned immediately.

He knew that Tian Zhan was doing some extreme experiments on planets outside the Empire, trying to test the most efficient conversion efficiency of Gaia seeders to convert planets.

By the way, test whether some planets with special climates can be converted stably.

Due to the long distance and the certain danger of the experiment, only means of remote control of equipment were prepared.

Unexpectedly, the experiment did not go wrong, but the planet of the experiment had problems.

Chen Ming knew without even thinking that it must have been done by the brainwashed psychic.

Because no one in the Empire or Scarlet could influence Scarlet except him and Chen Ming himself.

Chen Ming had been looking for him in Scarlet, and he might have noticed something.

And what was he thinking when he took the initiative to expose his position?

No one knew.

So Chen Ming had to go and take a look.

After Chen Ming and Tian Zhan asked about the situation, they turned around and explained the situation to the ship director.

The ship director shouldn't have said anything about Chen Ming's decision, but he couldn't help but say: "Your main battleship will be shipped in one day. Didn't you say that this ship is very important to you? Wait one more day."

Chen Ming really wanted to wait.

But Tian Zhan also said on the phone that Scarlet was spreading wildly.

The brainwashed psychic must be doing something big, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

And if he handles it quickly, he might have finished the matter before the ship leaves the factory.

If it really doesn't work.

Chen Ming took out an empty shell of the Alpha core.

This is the second Alpha-class afterglow that Chen Ming has seen, the core of G3.

Chen Ming has been studying the matter of reviving the afterglow core. After all, there are many Alpha-class cores killed by the mechanical race in the afterglow. If he can find a way to revive those grown afterglow cores, it will also be beneficial to Chen Ming.

So when he was researching, he started with the first dead afterglow core G3 he encountered.

The death of the G3 core was very special. After it was infected by the scarlet, only the consciousness died. The internal operating logic and data did not have any problems, and some basic functions were still there.

For example, controlling the spacecraft.

Chen Ming handed G3 to the director, and let the director handle the rest.

He had to do what he had to do.
