Chapter 439 Stopping Before Hell

"I have an impression of He Gu."

Chen Mingzai sometimes chatted with the Minister of Psychics about various matters, and occasionally mentioned He Gu a few times.

After all, He Gu is the only researcher Chen Ming knows who wants to shift psychic technology from military to civilian use, so Chen Ming doesn't mind helping out a little bit.

"But isn't the speed of this research a bit too fast..."

The secretary responded: "The project leader said that He Gu was already conducting research in this area before this experiment started. It seems that they all believe that this technology will definitely work, and a lot of preparations started very early. "

"I believe it too."

The minister of psychic energy whispered to himself, and then asked: "Does this technology have any side effects?"

"For ordinary people, yes."

"It is said that when the structure of this hive mind network is running on ordinary people, multiple consciousnesses will exist at the same time."

"Because it is impossible to control a destroyer or above-level spacecraft with the intensity of consciousness of ordinary people, multiple people need to be connected to the same hive mind cluster to control them. They will all be negatively affected by the hive mind network."

"For psykers, the situation is just the opposite, because the consciousness of psykers is strong enough to control the ship alone, and only the controlled ship exists in their mental network."

"For example, Cheng Xinghai from the previous experiment is a purely brain-enhanced psyker. Level 4 is enough to control more than one battleship and thousands of cruisers at the same time without any burden."

"If other psykers come, the number will need to be lowered, but there will certainly not be the same pressure as ordinary people."

"I understand, what specific impact will that have?"

"Well... for example, ordinary people may feel uncomfortable with the convergence of thinking patterns. Some people with greatly different thinking patterns will have difficulty adapting to staying in the same cellular network for a long time. Even if they adapt, there will be sequelae. "

"Then when different people are in the same hive mind network, some people may share information with each other, and it is difficult to completely guarantee personal privacy."

"Also, after staying on the cellular network for a long time, people's cognition may be biased, leading to some mental illnesses."

"besides……"

While listening to the secretary's sequelae.

The minister was also looking at the report from the project team sent by the secretary specifically for leaders and various outsiders to see.

The operating logic of this technology is roughly stated above.

This technology is probably the special effect achieved by the functional structure of neurons and spacecraft.

Although the report wrote a lot about the spacecraft, he could see clearly that the main key to the operation of this technology actually lies in the neurons, not the spacecraft itself.

This means that the empire's spaceship production line does not need to change much to allow this plan to continue.

Even the empire can directly produce warships without a main control system and directly install neurons.

This can increase the overall ship manufacturing efficiency by at least 20%.

After the full application of this technology, the military strength of the empire can be at least doubled.

The question of loss that he had just been thinking about was no longer an issue.

Thinking of this, the minister directly interrupted the secretary and said: "Side effects are not a problem. Mental illness is better than dying on the battlefield. Which of the sequelae of military stimulants is not more serious than mental illness?"

As long as the problem without military power can be solved, no matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem.

"Does the project team have any plans to solve the sequelae?"

"No."

"No, it doesn't matter. We can handle this kind of thing ourselves."

"Find a way to recruit psychiatrists for the military, conduct the most complete psychological tests for all those who use these equipment, arrange for the best doctors, and treat problems if they arise."

"As long as no one is killed, isn't it easy to cure some psychological problems?"

"And the issue of memory sharing actually has little impact. The main thing is that the memories of some important commanders cannot be leaked."

"I remember that we have psychics and technology in this area. We can set up an isolation layer in the minds of commanders of a certain level to protect important memories."

"It's an easy fix."

"What side effects? It's all bullshit."

The minister reiterated: “Whatever problems there are with this project must be solved.”

"As long as this project can advance, we still have hope of winning."

Soon after.

The news that Cheng Xinghai relied on new and extremely promising technology to successfully perform a rescue mission in the Aodan star field and conduct a comprehensive test of the technology quickly reached Bai Quan's ears.

When Bai Quan heard the news, he happened to have left Gallo and was stationed with the fleet at the border of the three-ring star field behind Gallo.

And when the experiment was going on, it happened to be when he was assembling the local army of the fleet.

At this time, the local army has been integrated into his army, and only unified dispatch and command can ensure combat effectiveness.

Under his restrictions, the pace of the mechanical tribe's subsequent invasion was obviously much slower than elsewhere.

So he also had time to check the specific progress of this matter afterwards.

After learning that this technology had been implemented throughout the empire under the mandatory requirements of the empire, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

As the first person to know about this technology, he knew very well how powerful this technology was and how important it was to the empire.

The difficulty for the Empire to convert resources into war potential is not the resources themselves, but the people who use these resources and convert volunteers into military power.

It takes only one month to train a group of army recruits.

But it takes three months to two years to train a group of soldiers who can cooperate to drive different levels of spacecraft, from the lowest level frigate to the current top battleship.

Such a long training time can't keep up with the speed of consumption in high-intensity war.

Although war can make people grow rapidly, the army can choose to forcibly shorten the training time and let people go directly to the war to familiarize themselves with the operation of the spacecraft.

But this will not take long, and it will make the damage to personnel more serious.

Now, the emergence of this technology can almost be said to have perfectly solved this problem.

The soldiers who have been trained do not need to go directly to the front line, but control the spacecraft on the front line through neural links in the safe rear.

As long as the consciousness can hold up and the logistics can keep up, the battle can continue.

Even if the ship is destroyed, the person will continue to stay and will have the experience of driving the ship to fight.

Although the effect is definitely not as good as the growth brought by the real battlefield where death is possible at any time.

But as long as people are alive, there will be infinite possibilities in the future.

Bai Quan is very optimistic about the future of this technology.

But when he thought of the source of this technology, he felt a little uncontrollable loss.

Bai Quan took out his terminal.

This is what he did every week after Chen Ming lost contact.

He dialed several communication codes belonging to Chen Ming in the order in the terminal address book.

If no one answered a number, he would continue to change to the next one.

But these numbers were still unanswered as before, and Chen Ming was still the same as before, with no news.

However.

Just when Bai Quan dialed the number in Chen Ming's office, the call was suddenly connected.

Bai Quan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an unparalleled expectation suddenly rose in his heart.

But Wu An's voice came out in the communication: "Bai Quan?"

Bai Quan sighed in his heart and asked disappointedly: "Why is it you?"

"I withdrew from Jialuo and didn't want to go back to the Empire, so of course I came here. Chen Ming still hasn't come back, so I'll manage it for him temporarily."

"Is that so? That's fine."

Bai Quan didn't explain why he made this call, Wu An should understand.

But just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "How is your president's situation? I asked him to help me before, don't let anything go wrong."

"I don't know what to say."

Wu An's mind flashed the scene he saw when he had a video call with people in the association.

"Anyway, the president is now lying in a device specially prepared for him, which is used to help him wake up and fall asleep quickly."

"You also know that we can't deal with super bodies now. If there is no president, super bodies can really rush into any corner of the empire to cause damage."

"So the president must lie on the device and use his psychic power to send psychics to different places at any time. He can't do anything else."

"It sounds a bit..."

"Everyone knows that this is not a good thing, but this is what the president asked to do. He would rather turn himself into a machine."

"He said, 'If you don't do this, the super bodies of the mechanical race will have no means of counterattack. Only I am worthy of sitting in this position.'"

"..."

"Everyone has their own things to do."

Wu An took the initiative to break Bai Quan's silence and said, "It should be the same for you later, right? Your new technology should be fully used soon."

"You mean the neuron connection technology?"

"Yes."

"Your ordinary soldiers can fight in rotation, but no one can replace you as a commander. When the war is the most intense, you may need to fight several or even dozens of battles in a row without rest."

"The president can rest when he needs to, but what about you and others?"

"Commanding a high-intensity fleet battle is not easier than using psychic energy, especially for ordinary people. Can you handle it?"

Bai Quan did not answer this question, but just said, "I'm ready."

Wu An didn't have much to say, just like he didn't have much to say about the president's choice.

"Good luck."

"Good luck to you too, I hope Chen Ming can come back soon."

The phone was hung up.

Wu An was standing next to Chen Ming's desk at this time.

He put down the phone on the table, stared at Chen Ming's chair for a few seconds, turned around and sat back on the sofa.

He has been sitting here for several days.

Since he arrived at Chen Ming's colony a few days ago, he saw that everything in the colony was normal, and there were no problems caused by Chen Ming's loss of contact.

This is what Chen Ming has been doing.

Even if he is not here, everything in the two core star regions belonging to him will continue to operate as usual.

So Wu An only roughly understood the operating logic of the colony and that everything was fine, and then he didn't pay much attention to the situation in the colony.

Just sitting here and waiting silently, while he was still building the city in his consciousness space.

Continuously repairing the image of Chen Ming in the city to be more complete, closer to reality and his cognition.

This way he could preserve his memory of Chen Ming, and he could also use the power that belonged to Chen Ming to strengthen his consciousness.

Everyone in the colony knew that Wu An was Chen Ming's mentor, so he stayed in Chen Ming's office.

Wu An did not live in vain. After staying here for two days, he told several high-level officials in the colony, such as Lu Kangtian Zhanhuihuang, that they could find him if they had anything to do. After all, he was a level 6 psychic.

By the way, he could also use Chen Ming's intelligence network to understand the current situation of the empire.

Wu An picked up the terminal and took a look.

Every day, Huihuang would send the intelligence sorted out.

At present, although the empire did not perform well in the war with the mechanical race in the first two months, it can be said that it could not stop the offensive of the mechanical race in most places.

But after nearly two months, the empire has gradually adapted to this high-intensity war.

The battle line was basically stabilized between the outer second ring and the outer third ring.

When Chen Ming's new technology is used in large quantities, perhaps the situation will change.

The empire did not rush all the way to hell, it stopped at the gate of hell.

And according to Wu An's understanding of Chen Ming and this technology.

The core and key point of this technology lies in biological neurons.

This kind of Zerg-made items can be used after simple human technology transformation.

Even the Zerg themselves can solve this transformation process.

He doesn't know where Chen Ming's Zerg is currently distributed, but he knows that the Zerg is definitely very widely distributed in the universe.

And the Zerg also has special means to contact Chen Ming's colony to deliver these neurons.

Therefore, the output of these biological neurons can be almost equal to infinity.

How many neuron warships can be created depends on the output of the Empire's warships and how many people can drive the warships.

The Queen of Zerg is still following Chen Ming's last order before he lost contact, cooperating with the Empire to resist the invasion of the mechanical race.

Even if Chen Ming lost contact, the things he left behind are still helping the Empire go further.

The military strength of the Empire will definitely soar in the future, and the spare spacecraft that were previously used because of insufficient driving personnel can be taken out for use.

Lose a batch, and the next batch can continue.

As long as the neuron-connected pilots do not lose consciousness, there will be an endless supply of ships that can go to the front line.

The resources accumulated by the empire's stagnation for hundreds of years are enough to allow it to continue to support the war.
