Chapter 80 Psychics and Answers

The transformation of the Mule class had just been carried out for two days.

The boss contacted Chen Ming and asked him to go over.

Perhaps the boss had already dealt with the pirates and wanted to return the pirates who could be exchanged for bounties to him.

After agreeing to go, Chen Ming first returned to the Iron Ore and made some preparations.

He planned to take a transport robot he had bought before.

The transport robot looks a bit like a spider, the size of a person, with a strong load capacity, can adapt to a variety of complex environments, and can also receive simple commands.

However, after Chen Ming got the robot, he tried it and found that the robot could not be directly controlled through the panel.

However, he didn't expect much at the beginning, so it was not a big problem.

Chen Ming bought a total of three robots.

Now only this standard all-terrain transport spider-type mechanical body has been delivered.

The other two exploration robots and guard robots are on the way.

In fact, Chen Ming also wanted to buy a professional combat robot, but he searched online and found none for sale, and there was no place to sell such things inside the space station, so he had to give up temporarily.

Chen Ming plans to learn some knowledge about mechanical transformation if he has the chance, maybe he can transform some ordinary mechanical bodies into mechanical bodies that can be used for combat.

When buying the robot, Chen Ming also bought a set of lightweight exoskeleton armor, which can be worn with a light protective suit to slightly guarantee his combat effectiveness.

After all, although Chen Ming can control the spacecraft, his own combat effectiveness is a bit low.

If necessary, he can also modify it, and it won’t be too difficult to modify things like armor plates.

In fact, Chen Ming wanted to buy heavy power armor at first, but this thing, like the combat robot, has nowhere to sell, so he can only settle for the next best thing.

Overall, the things Chen Ming bought are a little expensive.

The transport robot cost 400,000, the guard robot that has not yet arrived cost 600,000, and the exploration robot cost 700,000.

This is just the purchase money, and subsequent maintenance will also cost a lot.

Chen Ming’s total assets of more than 40 million before, now only have a little over 30 million left.

It’s spent quickly.

But at least the things he bought are still solid.

Robots and exoskeleton armor can indeed save Chen Ming a lot of trouble, and can also protect his safety, and the future plans have also been settled.

Speaking of which, Chen Ming rarely sees that few people buy this kind of robot at the Pirate Space Station.

But if you think about it, it is understandable.

Although the efficiency of manpower is definitely not as good as that of machinery, the cost is always lower than that of machinery.

Moreover, if you buy or show this kind of thing at the Pirate Space Station, you may be targeted by some people.

After all, if you have money to buy this kind of thing, then the buyer must be worth a lot.

Who doesn't like fat sheep?

Chen Ming doesn't care about this problem.

He often hangs around the maintenance plant, and the pirates can find out his identity with a little investigation before they want to take action.

If they are not stupid, they can't really attack an employee of a Pirate Space Station. Even pirate space stations belonging to different forces are connected to each other.

If the attack on the Pirate Space Station employees is done, unless the attackers never go to most of the Pirate Space Stations in the future, they will be picked out sooner or later.

Even if there are really young people, they must be newcomers who don't know the rules and can't beat Chen Ming.

So Chen Ming himself was not too worried about safety.

He started the transport robot on the Iron Ore and debugged it briefly.

Chen Ming took it to the No. 2 space arm.

Although the No. 2 space wall was affected during the first two afterglow attacks, there was no damage inside, and various factories here were still running.

After seeing the afterglow factory covering one-fifth of the planet when he went to the afterglow colony before, Chen Ming no longer felt the shock of the roaring industrial equipment.

So Chen Ming did not stay outside for long and walked straight into the boss's store.

As soon as he entered the store.

Chen Ming saw that the skipped work old Wu was squatting in the corner smoking, holding a terminal in his hand and watching the video with a happy face.

When he saw Chen Ming coming in, he said hello and waved his hand to indicate that he should leave him alone.

Chen Ming really didn't bother to care about him, the boss was already waiting for him.

In the room inside the hardware store, next to the boss, there were several metal boxes that looked like coffins stacked together.

Chen Ming looked carefully and asked the boss: "Are these the pirates from before?"

The boss nodded, took out the terminal and scanned a code on the corner of a box and showed it to Chen Ming.

The result of the scan was the pirate's information and his bounty.

"Are they dead?"

"The others are dead, and the leader should be dead soon."

"Oh."

Chen Ming responded, not knowing whether the pirate leader would think of Chen Ming's lies before he died.

Will he have a deep hatred for him, but he is going to die, so what does it matter whether he hates him or not.

"Right."

The boss put down the terminal, patted a metal coffin on the top and said to Chen Ming: "I talked to this guy, and he said something interesting about you."

"What?"

The boss's expression suddenly became serious, but with obvious curiosity in his eyes, he said: "He said you attacked him with two Yuhui ships."

"Yeah."

Chen Ming did not deny it, and directly explained with the excuse he had thought of before: "That was the remote control system I installed on the Yuhui ship I robbed."

"Is that so."

The boss's expression did not change at all, and continued: "He also said that one of your Centurions took the self-explosion of a Drum fuel ship, and it was not affected at all. "No harm."

"That's because I modified the Centurion with special armor and damping devices."

"Then how did you control their spacecraft?"

"The virus program was transmitted when communicating with them."

"Also, their engine has been destroyed by you, but it suddenly recovered in a blink of an eye and was repaired in an instant."

"That's because they saw it wrong. I just asked my ship, the Afterglow, to paralyze their engines with electromagnetic pulses, but it didn't damage them."

The boss had a playful look in his eyes and asked in a meaningful tone: "Really?"

"I think it should be true."

Chen Ming's words should have made the boss unable to hold back, and the serious expression on his face instantly turned back to that lazy look.

"Xiao Mu, do you think I'm a good person?"

Chen Ming said without thinking too much: "I think so."

The boss really never cheated him, but instead provided him with help in many ways, but no matter what, Chen Ming had some concerns in his heart.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Ming planned to ask directly: "But I want to know, when I just came to the space station, I had nothing and knew nothing, but you already had good intentions towards me, why?"

"I never believe in good intentions without reason, and it is difficult to convince myself to accept it with peace of mind."

The boss was a little surprised by Chen Ming's words, and explained: "My kindness to you is not without reason."

"Why is that?"

"Well-"

The boss did not answer immediately, but thought about it for a while and said: "Let me tell you this first, I am a psychic."

Chen Ming nodded calmly and said: "Oh."

"?"

"What's your attitude? Aren't you surprised?"

Chen Ming shook his head and said: "I don't need to guess that you have a special identity. There are only a few possibilities for your specific identity. You said it yourself, and your performance also proves that you are not from the military or Xinda Company."

"Among the remaining possibilities, Xinda Company respects you so much and arranges you in such a place. You must not be a senior executive of other competing companies."

"So basically it's an official person, a certain important The three options of the members of the forces or the individual who have a special identity. "" You are not like officials at all, so you can call the first one. " I guess the person who can pay attention to the company. "The boss clapped his hand after listening to Chen Ming's idea:" Your brain is pretty good. Although the results of the guess are a bit wrong, the overall thinking is indeed right. " Said: "This is not something I can understand." "Indeed." "Can you understand another thing?" "What happened?" "The spiritual energy of the professional training can feel the spiritual energy of the other spiritual power." The face under the helmet of Chen Ming was tightened for a moment. The boss's words not only surprised and shocked Chen Ming, but also made him completely understand the situation of his panel.

This panel is the embodiment of his psychic power, but it appeared in his mind in a way that he could understand.

Chen Ming had previously lied that he was a psychic, but he didn't expect it to be true.

If the panel is a manifestation of psychic power, then he did not go to the military outpost at the beginning. It was indeed the most correct choice he made.

Chen Ming took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and looked at the boss again.

And the boss, seeing that Chen Ming's body suddenly froze because of what he said just now, showed a smile on his face as if he had succeeded in joking.

"I knew from the moment I saw you that it would not be wrong to have a good relationship with you."

"Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?"

"I am a psychic."

"..."

This reason left Chen Ming speechless.

And at this time, Chen Ming suddenly realized the reason why Lao Wu and the factory director were so nice to him. It should be because of the boss's psychic power.

Chen Ming didn't have any special feelings about this.

The communication between people is to understand the general personality of people through some means, and then be willing to spend energy to get along and maintain with the right methods.

It's just that the boss and his friends replaced the means of understanding with faster psychic power.

And the relationship between people is two-way.

During this period, Chen Ming could also feel that whether it was the boss Lao Wu or the factory director, they were people who could be trusted to a certain extent, and there was no problem in getting along for a long time.

So Chen Ming didn't care about using psychic power to know whether he was a good person, and he didn't intend to dwell on this.

It's better to say that if the boss is a psychic, Chen Ming may have many questions that can be answered.

"I heard that the military has the ability to detect psychics? Is that what they rely on?"

"Almost, but there are more professional means."

"You don't have to worry about them. The first time I saw you, I blocked your psychic fluctuations. No one will notice it until your psychic fluctuations exceed a certain limit."

"Just don't tell others that you have psychic powers, and don't tell others what kind of abilities your psychic powers have."

"I'm not stupid."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he paused and took the initiative to bring up a topic that might be unpleasant: "Boss, since you want to make friends with a psychic like me, do you want to get something from me?"

The boss did not show any discomfort because of Chen Ming's question. Instead, he said quite frankly: "Being friends with a psychic is the biggest benefit in itself."

"Of course, I did have the idea of ​​pursuing other interests at the beginning, and I still have it now, but interests and interpersonal relationships are not necessarily inseparable."

The boss said, and stretched out his hand to Chen Ming.

"Make friends?"

Chen Ming briefly considered it.

Put his hand on the helmet, took off the helmet and put it aside so that the boss could see his face.

Then he also extended his hand and shook it.

"Chen Ming."

The boss showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Wu An."

He suddenly patted Chen Ming's shoulder and said, "I almost forgot the favor I promised you to bring the person back to me. I can't think of anything suitable for you for the time being. Why don't you tell me yourself?"

Chen Ming said very straightforwardly, "I want to know something."

"No problem, ask."

"What exactly is a psychic?"

"Good question."

The boss repeated Chen Ming's question and answered, "It is a person who affects reality with his own will."

"There are many different types of psychics. It is difficult to explain them in a few words. They are probably some "It is better for you not to know too much, and don't try to learn psychic power." "Why?" "Because you are a naturally awakened psychic, not awakened by other means." "Naturally awakened psychics should not be exposed to these systematic things. Although systematic learning can indeed make your psychic power progress faster, it will also limit the upper limit of your ability development." Chen Ming was silent for a moment, digested what the boss said, and asked: "Do you mean to let me explore it myself? "Yes, how did you get here before, how do you do it now." "If you are really interested, when you reach the upper limit of your self-development in the future, I can help you contact a professional institution for a physical examination to determine the specific situation of your own psychic power." "Okay." "Oh, by the way, although you should not learn systematic psychic power, there is still a sentence you need to know." "Psychic is a person who affects reality with will, and psychic power is just a tool to affect reality." "That's it. "

The boss reached out and patted Chen Ming's shoulder. It was unknown who had infected whom with this habit, him or Lao Wu.

"Practice psychic energy well. When you reach a certain level, you will understand psychic energy yourself. Then come to me. "

Chen Ming thanked the boss and said, "I see. I have another question."

"Just tell me."

"What is a spiritual stone?"

The boss raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Chen Ming and asked, "Do you have it with you?"

"No."

"Oh, that's right. I have one here too."

The boss took out a stone from his pocket. It was covered with patterns like Chen Ming's spiritual stone.

But it was not a twisted pattern like Chen Ming's whispering spiritual stone, but some water patterns that looked very comfortable.

Chen Ming said this directly, "This is not the same as mine."

"It's normal. There are different types of spiritual stones."

The boss held the spirit stone in his hand and said, "Since you want to know the effect of the spirit stone, I can show it to you now."

As the boss spoke, an invisible thing appeared on his body that Chen Ming was very familiar with.

It was so familiar that it seemed as if the fluctuation of spiritual energy had always existed beside him and accompanied him at any time.

But Chen Ming could not control the fluctuation of spiritual energy by himself. This might be the disadvantage of self-awakening without systematic learning.

Chen Ming did not think about this for too long, because the spirit stone in the boss's hand suddenly changed.

The pattern on it lit up, and the warm white light enveloped the three meters around the spirit stone.

And Chen Ming, who was wrapped in the white light, only felt a gentle and stable feeling rising from his heart.

Originally, his anxiety about the possible development in the future and the unknown dangers he would face were all swept away.

The whole person was full of unprecedented vitality.

However, this feeling suddenly dissipated, and the boss withdrew the spiritual energy fluctuations and once again became the lazy ordinary person who looked like he was approaching middle age.

The boss stuffed the spirit stone back into his pocket and said, "This is the effect of the spirit stone."

"My spirit stone is 'gentle', which can give people this gentle and comfortable feeling after being activated."

"Generally speaking, the stronger the psychic fluctuations, the better the effect and the larger the range."

"And it does not have to be activated by psychics. Some special designs or materials with some energy properties can also be activated."

"This is actually the basis for the development of psychic weapons..."

The boss suddenly coughed and said, "I'm getting off topic. It's useless for you to know this for the time being. What is the effect of your stone?"

"Whisper."

"Whisper... No wonder you didn't bring it with you. You can touch the whispering stone occasionally when you go back. It's good for you."

"Anything else?"

Chen Ming thought for a while and said, "Yes, you go up The Luddite Church I mentioned last time."

"Oh, this one."

"It's a bit complicated to explain. I have to start from many years ago."

The boss picked up the terminal and clicked a few times. He sent Chen Ming several books related to Ludd, organized his words and said, "The Luddite Church and Luddite Left Path are different."

"The Luddite Church is really a normal church."

"It was a church established by the imperial government during the period of technological explosion before entering the space age because a large number of people were unemployed and needed social stability."

"You should know it, right? The period of technological explosion is similar to the period after several industrial revolutions. The productivity has made leaps and bounds, leading to the unemployment of ordinary people. "

Chen Ming obviously knows the history of both worlds, and he is very clear about the negative effects of changes brought about by technological innovation.

Seeing Chen Ming nodded, the boss continued to explain: "The original intention of establishing this church is to use a virtual god to gradually and peacefully integrate the development of technology into the worldview of those who think that the existence and development of technology are wrong because of unemployment."

"The church's original intention is good, using faith to maintain people's normal life and get through that period when technological innovation was difficult for ordinary people."

"But later, a group of people appeared in the Lutheran Church, calling themselves Luther Zuojing."

The boss's face became more serious when he said this.

"They firmly believe in the existence of God as described by the church, but they think that the church itself is not acting as a spokesperson for God, but rather distorting God's will."

"Therefore, this group of people became independent from the church, and even survived under official suppression and has developed to this day."

"Ludwig believes that all technology is a blasphemy against God and opposes all technological products."

"They believe that only through powerful and just actions can these blasphemous things be defeated to a greater extent, and only through violence can human arrogance and disrespect for God be cleared."

Chen Ming couldn't help asking after hearing this; "Then they are still using technology such as spaceships, and even modifying spaceships. Isn't this violating their doctrines?"

"Indeed."

"The first batch of Ludwigs was indeed completely unjust. They will use any technological product after the technological explosion, but you have to think about how many years have passed since the technological explosion. "

"Lud Zuojing has definitely not remained unchanged since its development."

"Some of them are willing to get into the "quagmire" and use the technology they hate the most to attack and destroy those cutting-edge technologies."

"In short, they are a group of terrorists, or terrorists with faith."

The boss suddenly changed the subject and said, "Of course, these are just the lowest-level executors."

"Anyone with a brain knows that the current top management of Zuojing has taken advantage of these people who are either ignorant or forced by the situation."

"Their leaders are definitely not madmen who hate technology."

"They do this, and it is definitely profitable in some way."

"It is even possible that the companies that develop cutting-edge technology privately support it to delay the technological development of companies that compete with them."

"But this is just my guess, just listen to it, don't say anything."

"That's about it."

Chen Ming nodded, took a long breath and said, "I understand."

He absorbed too much knowledge in a short period of time and had to digest it.

But he still had one last question.

Chen Ming's eyes turned to Old Wu, who had put down the terminal and was eavesdropping and peeping beside him.

"Boss, I heard Old Wu talk about you before. He said you have a very bad hobby, and he stared at me with strange eyes at that time."

The boss's face suddenly showed a little embarrassment that he had never had before, and said, "Well, let me keep this secret."

"I can guarantee that it is not some weird hobby, and it will not have any negative impact on you,"

"Okay."

Chen Ming chose to believe the boss and controlled the transport robot he brought to bring a few coffins.

"Then I'll leave first. I'll have to talk to the factory manager about work arrangements later."

"Well, come and sit down when you're free."
