Chapter 91: Counterattack Method, Whereabouts of Armor Breaker

The effect of the mind pulse is very effective for ordinary people.

Everyone in the room fell down instantly, covering their heads, even the two patrol members.

Chen Ming immediately drew his gun and rolled out from behind the bunker, approaching the military personnel who fell crookedly on the ground.

Old Wu knew from the beginning that Chen Ming had been fiddling with something on the workbench, so when he saw the military personnel suddenly fall down without any warning, he quickly caught up with Chen Ming.

The factory director was stunned for a moment without any reaction, and was reminded by Old Wu before he caught up.

Chen Ming took the lead in checking the fallen military personnel.

Confirm whether they have the willpower as strong as the guard at the exhibition hall before, and can still stand up after resisting the mind pulse.

The factory director and Old Wu moved the two patrol members who fainted together to the workshop first, and simply treated their injuries.

And Chen Ming also confirmed that all the military personnel were unconscious, and none of them still had consciousness.

It can only be said that he once again experienced the power of the mind pulse.

Although the scope of application of mind pulse on a cosmic scale is not large.

And the types of materials that need to be repaired after each use are very complex.

In addition, Chen Ming estimated that the range of action was only about 500 meters in diameter.

There are various shortcomings.

But it happened to be in the place where he was now, the actual effect of mind pulse was extremely exaggerated.

It can only be said that psychic power is the best means for Chen Ming, who has no combat ability, to deal with threats from close range.

An ability to reverse the dilemma instantly, even if the mind wave generator has shortcomings that Chen Ming has not discovered, but as long as it still has such an effect without fatal flaws, it is not too much for Chen Ming to invest more in it.

After confirming that the military personnel would not wake up in a short time.

Chen Ming returned to the workshop and found some ropes on the shelves in the workshop where basically everything was available.

These people outside are already unconscious and have no ability to resist, so there is no need to kill them directly.

Instead, it would be better to disarm these people first, tie them up, and then interrogate them.

But Chen Ming just tied up a few people.

Suddenly, there was a sound of metal twisting and tearing on the other side of the second underground floor.

Chen Ming immediately became alert and rushed to the corner of the corridor outside the workshop.

He took the terminal's photo function and went out to observe the environment.

At this time, the smoke on the second underground floor had not completely dissipated.

Chen Ming could only barely see a heavy power armor tearing open the blocked door on the other side of the safety passage.

In an environment where only the emergency lights were on, it was full of oppression, like a tank running rampant, and quickly approached the location of the workshop.

"Heavy power armor? Be careful."

Chen Ming reminded the factory director and Lao Wu behind him, and his hand was on the mind wave generator again, ready to be pressed at any time.

However, after noticing what Chen Ming saw, the factory director immediately put his hand on Chen Ming's arm.

"It's our own people, we are safe."

The factory director took the initiative to speak, then waved to the other end of the corridor, put away his weapon, took off his helmet and walked out.

"It's me, Lu Shengsi."

Chen Ming slightly tightened the gun in his hand.

Until he saw the man in heavy power armor stopped and gave a fake press to the guard behind him who didn't know the identity of the factory director, so that everyone let down their guard.

Chen Ming also relaxed and put the pistol back into the holster.

The man in heavy power armor approached again and asked the factory director: "What's the situation?"

When Chen Ming heard this familiar voice, he recalled that he had heard this voice before when the factory director was in a meeting.

This tough guy wearing central power armor is the director of the Space Station Administration.

Chen Ming was a little surprised. He originally thought that the director would be an image of a greasy and irritable middle-aged man, but he didn't expect the actual difference to be so big.

However, he quickly threw away the original image in his mind and remembered the image of this heavy power armor in his mind.

Although he was not interested in what kind of person the director was, the power armor the director was wearing was completely different.

In Chen Ming's mind, psychic power was his best way to deal with close-range threats, so a set of powerful heavy power armor was definitely the second best way.

If he could get a set, then Chen Ming

Wait a minute, it seems that it is really possible.

The director's power armor must be a product of the company. If Chen Ming wants a set later, it should not be difficult.

Chen Ming stared at the director's power armor for a few seconds. Although he couldn't help it, he still retracted his gaze.

At the same time, he didn't rush out, and handed the matter of explaining the situation to the factory director.

While listening, he continued to tie up the person who had fainted on the ground.

In response to the director's question, the factory director immediately took the director to the deepest part of the corridor.

He said to the people lying on the ground: "All the intruders have been dealt with. The mental pulse just now was released by us."

The director casually kicked the military man lying dead on the ground and said: "Well, not bad."

Then he contacted several of his men outside through the equipment inside the helmet.

After a brief explanation, the director commanded the guards behind to follow up and began to capture those who sneaked into the management bureau.

Soon, the alarm of the management bureau stopped, and all the internal equipment that had been paralyzed before began to restart, and the smoke that had not been exhausted inside was gradually fading.

With so many people around to protect him, Chen Ming also relaxed a little and was no longer overly vigilant.

While the guards were still dealing with the unconscious people and the piled up bodies here, Chen Ming asked the factory director who was also idle next to him: "If the military attacks the Administration like this, what will be the consequences?"

The factory director answered as if he had been prepared: "Although we all know that this was done by the military, the military will definitely not admit it, and there will be no obvious handle left."

"Even if the military directly attacks our Pirate Space Station Administration, there is no problem in name for the military, but in fact, it needs to consider more than just the name."

"So, the military's credit will definitely plummet after this incident."

"What the specific consequences will be depends on the confrontation between the top leaders."

"But this has nothing to do with us. Our primary task now is to send you safely to the capital of the star region."

"But one thing is certain, the military will suffer a great loss in this matter. How much loss it will suffer depends on the performance of the top leaders, and you."

At about the same time when the director of the Administration arrived at the second underground floor with the guards.

Inside the hotel room where the military team is located, which is relatively close to the Administration building.

Several members of the military team were watching the content transmitted back in real time from the monitoring screen on the hacker team's computer in silence.

As the monitoring just now transmitted the picture of everyone falling down in an instant, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

Only the captain spoke first at this time: "This is a mind pulse. I didn't expect that the management bureau would be willing to give such a thing to Chen Ming."

"Alas... The mission is a complete failure. The management bureau is on guard. We can't find another chance on the space station."

Xia Chao couldn't help asking: "Then what should we do? Really go to dig coal?"

"It's good if you can really dig coal for us. Let's go first and see if there are other opportunities later."

The other members of the military team did not express their opinions, but just quietly packed up their things.

However, at this time, the door of the hotel room was knocked.

"Hello, your ordered dinner has arrived."

The captain was stunned for a moment, and directly raised his gun and shot Tian Jiwen, who had been tied up for a while, in the head.

And immediately pointed the muzzle of the gun outside the door.

Before he could fire the second shot, countless bullets were fired directly into the room from outside the hotel room door.

After the chaos in the Administration Bureau was settled, another battle broke out in the hotel.

But this had nothing to do with Chen Ming who had just walked into the director's office.

After following the director into his office, the director continued to take Chen Ming and others into an independent lounge next to the office.

At the same time, three new guards were arranged for Chen Ming to protect him closely.

The patrol team member who was injured before was sent to the medical room inside the Administration Bureau building.

The medical room of the Administration Bureau is better than the hospital outside to a certain extent. Coupled with the medical technology of the space age, it is not difficult to treat his burns.

After settling Chen Ming, the director said to Chen Ming: "Please wait here for the time being. The shuttle will arrive in eleven hours. I will escort you safely when the shuttle arrives."

Then the director called his secretary and said: "If you need anything, you can ask him to arrange it for you. I still have things to do."

Such a vicious incident happened inside the Administration, so it must be thoroughly investigated from top to bottom.

He, as the director, naturally needs to be at the forefront of work.

So Chen Ming has no objection to the director leaving.

It's just that Chen Ming still has a little worry in his heart.

Although the director said that he would protect him, the heavy power armor can indeed give people a heavy sense of security.

But Chen Ming feels that the military will not give up because of this matter, so it still has to make some preparations in advance.

And now there is something that is quite suitable to give out.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing Chen Ming's voice, the director turned back and asked: "What's the matter?"

Chen Ming took out the terminal and called up a file on it.

This was found in the terminal of the soldier who died in the escape pod on the spacecraft. There is evidence of smuggling stimulants at the military outpost.

In fact, Chen Ming had already wanted to give this thing to the factory director on the way here.

Let the factory director pass it to the chairman.

However, the factory director said that he could not contact the chairman,

saying that the board of directors was about to be held and the chairman had to go to preside over it.

This board of directors mainly discussed two things, one about Chen Ming and one about the military.

In a sense, both were related to Chen Ming.

So the chairman could not be contacted, so the factory director directly asked Chen Ming to tell the director about this matter.

The director above the director and the factory director are not the same.

Although Chen Ming did not know why, in short, as long as this thing was given out, it would definitely cause some trouble to the military.

With this evidence, no matter who it was, they could question the military legally.

And those who have connections can even directly use the internal reporting channel of the military to make the soldiers involved in smuggling drink a pot.

Although smuggling is something that all the major powers have secretly known, once it is brought to light, someone must be held responsible.

The director took the terminal from Chen Ming and carefully checked the contents of the smuggling list.

While the director was reading the document, Chen Ming asked the director's secretary for some food.

It was noon when Chen Ming came back from the capital of the star region, and he just had some compressed food on the way back.

Now it was almost evening, but there were still eleven hours to wait.

If he didn't replenish his energy until three or four in the morning of the next day, something might go wrong.

After the secretary brought the food, the factory director almost finished reading all the contents of the smuggling list, and directly checked all the relevant information in the office.

He concluded that all the contents of the list were correct.

The director returned the terminal to Chen Ming and said, "The smuggling list, even the list of goods with accurate location and time, so detailed? Where did you get it?"

Chen Ming naturally couldn't say that he got it by relying on Yu Hui's ship, so he casually said, "I picked it up."

The director's expression under the helmet was a little complicated.

His usual attitude towards work made him not very accepting of Chen Ming's ambiguous answer.

But he was not Chen Ming's direct superior, and his relationship with Chen Ming was not necessarily superior and subordinate.

So he did not express anything, nor did he show any opinion on Chen Ming.

Just based on the content of the smuggling list that Chen Ming showed him, he said, "This list is very important."

"It can give the company more advantages in dealing with military-related matters."

"If this thing is sent back, the entire military outpost may have to undergo a wave of blood transfusion."

"At this point in time, combined with the previous incident, at least the military outpost can be temporarily suspended, which is very helpful for your safety."

The director also knew that Chen Ming was definitely not bargaining when he took out this list at this time.

So he said to the guards waiting outside the office: "Zhang Ji, you will take over my task next."

A guard standing at the front of the guard team saluted the office.

He quickly left the office with the other guards.

The director took Chen Ming to his desk and asked Chen Ming to connect the terminal to his computer.

"I will send this list to the company's directors for you. The impact of this list should be reflected soon."

"Okay."

Just when Chen Ming gave the director a clear reply.

Chen Ming suddenly found that there was movement on the armor-piercing class that he had been paying attention to.

When Chen Ming drove the spacecraft back to the pirate space station, the armor-piercing class had been installed by the engineers of Xinda Company with the large weapon provided by the government itself, the automatic pulse laser.

And the weapons on the other four medium-sized bearing points, two energy weapons called heavy impact cannons, and two ion beams that Chen Ming was very familiar with.

After the weapons were installed on the armor-piercing class and debugged.

It has now been sent to a cruiser-class heavy cargo ship called Colossus, which Chen Ming had seen at Yu Hui's place.

And the location of the armor-piercing class in the cargo hold of the cargo ship is just at the edge of the cargo hold.

It just so happens that Chen Ming is actually lacking in combat power at this time.

Although the military is unlikely to directly attack with a fleet, what if it happens? Therefore, a spaceship with sufficient combat power is still very necessary for Chen Ming.

So now is actually the best time for Chen Ming to steal the ship.

However, the purpose of this cargo ship and the cargo fleet to which the cargo ship belongs can be roughly inferred based on Chen Ming's previous hearing that the government is going to test the armor-piercing class.

Their destination should be a colony closest to the military outpost and also the closest to the pirate space station.

This is a mining colony. The main purpose of the government's freight caravan should be to regularly supply materials and take away materials from the colony. Sending the Armor-Breaker is just a side job.

However, it is true that the cargo ship will take the Armor-Breaker to Chen Ming's direction.

Chen Ming can actually wait for the cargo ship to come.

But the problem is that the Armor-Breaker needs to follow the caravan.

The sailing speed of the caravan must be based on the slowest ship in the caravan.

With the cruiser Colossus, the caravan's speed in hyperspace will definitely not reach the maximum speed.

In addition, the cargo ship may need to stop at the colony it passes by midway, so the speed of delivery should be slower than when Chen Ming personally drove the spaceship back before. It is difficult to determine how long it will be slower, but it will definitely not be shorter.

And if the caravan really successfully delivers the Armor-Breaker to the colony, it may not be easy for Chen Ming to find an opportunity to attack the spaceship.

However.

Just when Chen Ming discovered that the Armor-Breaker was moving, the cargo ship it was on had just set off from the colony of the Star Region Capital.

At this time, they have reached the edge of the galaxy and are about to enter the hyperspace channel.

This is simply a godsend, the best opportunity.

The weapons of the spacecraft have all been installed, and the fuel has been fully filled.

Chen Ming did not dare to use the large weapons on the bow of the armor-piercing ship directly in the ship, but the remaining four medium-sized weapons were enough to open a door on the Colossus from the inside of the ship.

Chen Ming did not hesitate and decisively activated the heavy impact cannon of the armor-piercing class.

Outside the spacecraft, it can be seen that the Colossus freighter was suddenly severely damaged near the right front of the ship.

The news of the accidental discharge of the spacecraft weapon was also sent to the captain's room.

The captain who drove the Colossus freighter was also an old captain who had worked in the government for decades.

He did not panic when the unexpected situation suddenly occurred, and calmly assigned different tasks to the personnel in various parts of the spacecraft.

The most important of these is naturally to confirm the damage to the hull and the loss of the internal cargo.

"The cargo hold's outer side is basically completely destroyed, and the armor-piercing class leaked out of the cargo hold."

The captain immediately clicked twice on the console in front of him and said, "Received, immediately organize a towing ship to re-secure the armor-piercing class."

"Wait a minute, what's going on? The spacecraft is driving itself?"

"What?"

The captain was very sure that he had heard correctly, and immediately asked other people on the bridge to put the surveillance here.

Then he saw the armor-piercing class directly activate the hyperspace channel system and enter hyperspace after leaving the fleet.

"Is there anyone on board?"

"Impossible! A destroyer must have at least a dozen people to barely drive it, and a dozen people hiding in the cargo hold can't hide from the people in charge of inspection."

The captain immediately took out the terminal, ready to skip the troublesome reporting system and report this strange situation directly to his superiors.

At the same time, he was also arranging work for his deputy next to him: "Notify the escort fleet immediately and ask them to find a way to track the armor-piercing class."

The deputy who looked a little young immediately said: "Yes, but can they catch up?"

The captain shook his head and said: "It's a long shot. If the spacecraft goes to full speed in hyperspace for a few seconds, it can be equivalent to flying for several months in a normal environment."

"This spacecraft suddenly entered the channel, and the probability of finding it back is basically zero. I just don't know if there is a positioning system installed on the ship. Maybe it can be of some use."

"Okay, hurry up and notify. The longer you wait, the lower the probability of finding the armor-piercing class."

The deputy nodded quickly and left the captain.

The captain looked at the location where the armor-piercing class disappeared on the monitor, squinting his eyes as if thinking about something.

At this time, the armor-piercing class that had successfully entered the hyperspace channel had also successfully accelerated to the maximum speed in hyperspace.

Although the government did install a positioning system on the armor-piercing class, the entire spacecraft was under Chen Ming's control, and there was no difference between installing it and not installing it.

In addition, due to the speed limit in hyperspace, even if the positioning system can really work, other ships have no chance of catching up with the Armor-Piercing Class.

The rest is that the Armor-Piercing Class will fly along the route and may be arrested by the patrol team in the hyperspace channel when passing through the government colony system.

But Chen Ming can also choose to jump out of the hyperspace channel directly when approaching the system and bypass the dangerous system in the normal universe environment.

In the normal space environment, the speed of the Armor-Piercing Class is not as slow as the Iron Ore, which has not been modified.

Jumping out of the hyperspace channel and re-entering the hyperspace channel after bypassing the system will not delay much time.

If it is really too late, Chen Ming can also choose a more risky but faster way.

Directly pass through the dangerous area outside the hyperspace channel, which is full of hyperspace channel clouds and hyperspace lightning.

For the spacecraft, Chen Ming can do remote repair by consuming mental power.

For Chen Ming, who can repair the ship infinitely as long as the materials are complete, forcing the dangerous area of ​​the hyperspace channel is actually an option.

The final destination of the Armor-Breaking Class was set by Chen Ming at the space station.

Although he will go to the capital of the star field next, it is not easy for the Armor-Breaking Class to appear in front of the government or the company.

Moreover, Chen Ming is in a hurry to bring the Armor-Breaking Class here because he lacks a guarantee of combat power.

If everything goes well and the company accepts him without any accidents, then Chen Ming will directly send the ship to the dark cemetery.

At that time, the ship will be handed over to Gamma B for control.

Chen Ming will have two destroyers indirectly controlled by the Afterglow AI.

Moreover, Gamma AB is about to be upgraded to become a Beta-level Afterglow individual.

The capabilities of the two ships under Chen Ming's complete control are definitely much higher than those of the ships that Chen Ming only indirectly controls through AI.

Although Chen Ming chose to accept the company's invitation, he should mainly stay in the company located in the prosperous star field in the future.

But he didn't sign a contract to sell himself.

With the help of hyperspace channels and even star gates, it is not difficult to go out to the edge star field.

Chen Ming is a psychic and an extremely important person to the company. As long as he shows his due ability after joining the company for the second time.

He believes that the company will definitely give him the permission to use the star gate.

Of course.

The premise of everything Chen Ming thinks about now is that everything that happens next will go smoothly.
