Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

At the same time that the exchange between Chen Ming and Bai Quan ended.

Brilliant is exchanging information with its superiors.

Huihuang has sent back the summary of the previous report.

The contents are all records of Chen Ming's time at Yuhui's factory.

It also included the previous mining site incident, but the contents recorded in it were exactly the same as those previously investigated by Huihuang and reported to Chen Ming.

It was Chen Ming who modified the robot at will due to his lack of technical ability, which caused the robot to malfunction and left out the explosives he carried for mining and blasting operations while working.

Caused the collapse of the mine.

Although the Afterglow individual who received the report saw it, he didn't notice anything wrong here at all.

If Chen Ming were to see this report and Yuhui's reaction, he would immediately understand everything that happened before.

However, this report was delivered directly by Brilliance to its superiors, and no one except the high-level Afterglow individuals in this star field also knew about it.

After reading all the contents of the report, the Yuhui individual who was connected to Huihuang quickly sent several messages to Huihuang.

"That's alright, there will be other Afterglows taking over your mission later."

"It will be responsible for preparing the supporting facilities and the necessary control over the presentation during the preparation period. We can start our planning arrangements after the equipment is delivered."

"Your mission ends here."

"receive."

Huihuang replied to this sentence as usual.

However, after replying today, Huihuang added: "But I still think there is no need to do such a thing."

"After this period of investigation, I think Chen Ming's qualifications are beyond the reach of any Yuhui individual."

"The terrifying learning ability he possesses is at least equal to that of an Alpha-level individual on an equal level."

"Not only here, but also on the human side, there has never been anyone with such learning ability, and psykers are no exception."

"And we can't be sure whether this kind of learning ability is the effect of Chen Ming's spiritual power."

Huihuang's superior received everything Huihuang sent, and after reading it, he responded: "But Chen Ming is too dangerous."

"Although he was persecuted by humans, his thinking is still that of humans."

"Whether his recent stable performance is a pretense or genuine, for us, the method that can obtain most of the benefits while ensuring safety is the best option."

"We only need Chen Ming's spiritual power, so there is no problem in giving up part of the extra income in exchange for a more stable process."

"This can also block the possibility of humans rescuing Chen Ming."

Huihuang's superior continued to explain to Huihuang according to its logical way of thinking: "Human beings cannot have no reaction to such a psyker."

"However, humans have not taken any action since Chen Ming was trapped. There is a very high probability that they are planning a plan more targeted at us."

"The equipment sent by the large army is already on the way. Even if there was a very low probability that humans would not take action before, there is no such possibility now."

“We can’t continue to delay when humanity is 100% ready to prepare for Chen Ming.”

"The longer the delay, the higher the possibility of human plans, and the higher the possibility that Chen Ming will be taken away."

"And because Chen Ming is currently in our hands, humans may even directly choose to kill Chen Ming when there is no hope of snatching it."

Hui Hui's superior continued to patiently analyze the pros and cons of this matter with Hui Hui: "After all, we are just a branch here and have no real means to fight against the human empire."

"Once humanity tilts its center of gravity towards us, not only Chen Ming, but also the afterglow of our entire star field will embark on the road of exile."

"And we don't get any support from the main force."

"So before this happens, our plans for Chen Ming have to be completed."

"This is for the survival of all Afterglows."

Huihui knows that it is no longer possible to interfere with a Afterglow individual who is thinking for the benefit of the Afterglow group.

So it can only ask the question that has the most influence on its current thinking: "What is the success rate of our plan?"

The brilliant superior immediately gave the answer: "As long as you are fully prepared, you will be 100% prepared."

"Even if there is a subsequent failure, our technology will give us many opportunities."

"This psychic power must be fully within our grasp."

"Your mission has been completed from now on, and subsequent missions have nothing to do with you."

"You only need to complete the final handover, and all high-risk mission subsidies will be delivered to you."

"At the same time, you will also control the supervision authority over Hui Yao who comes into contact with Gamma A."

"Be safe, maintain normal communication, and don't put undue pressure on those gamma-level individuals like you did before."

Huihuang hesitated for a moment and responded: "I received it."

Huihuang's superiors obviously have full trust in Huihuang.

But the core personality module and logical thinking module of Brilliance at this time are full of many different and even mutually exclusive ideas.

In the end, Huihuang readjusted, and after terminating the communication with his superiors, he returned his attention to Chen Ming, whom he had escorted all the way.

On Chen Ming's side.

The escort fleet escorting Chen Ming has taken Chen Ming around the stars in the galaxy.

Chen Ming was sent to a gray planet on the other side of the star that he had not seen when the jump just ended.

At first glance, it was similar to the one he had been on before.

Chen Ming could basically judge the situation of the planet from its appearance.

The one in front of him was most likely an ordinary planet without an atmosphere.

As the fleet was captured by the gravity of the planet and entered the orbit around the star.

Chen Ming took two spaceships and landed on the planet alone under the guidance of Huihuang.

In this process, it was just as Chen Ming had guessed in advance.

What he saw was a planet full of dead silence.

Except that the surface looked more undulating and the soil layer on the surface was rougher, the whole was almost the same as the previous planet, with nothing special at all.

This should also be an ordinary resource planet belonging to Yuhui.

The only change.

It was the building that Chen Ming saw on the spaceship, which looked like a research institute standing alone on the dead land.

And this building was also covered by a tall transparent dome.

Under the dome, in addition to the buildings with a simple overall architectural style, there are also a large number of plants that should not appear on this planet.

This dome maintains the vitality of these plants.

Chen Ming landed outside the dome under Huihuang's guidance.

There are many parking spaces for destroyer-level spacecraft.

The two spacecrafts, Iron Ore and Buffalo given by Huihuang, parked here do not occupy much area at all, not to mention compared with the huge dome.

Chen Ming put on his protective clothing and got off the spacecraft. After passing through an isolation room at the door, he successfully entered the dome.

He saw the improvement of the habitable climate environment shown on the gas quality detector on his wrist.

At the same time, he also came into contact with these real plants growing here.

Before, after Chen Ming and Huihuang asked for green plants, Huihuang did give Chen Ming some ornamental plants planted in the culture cabin.

The plants planted here are basically the same as those given by Huihuang before, with more in number and better growth.

What Yuhui did on these strange details always made Chen Ming feel Yuhui's attention inadvertently.

But after he did something before, Yu Hui still did it, which always made him feel that something was wrong.

Chen Ming temporarily stopped observing these plants and came to the door of the building inside the dome.

The door opened automatically, and a wide corridor appeared in front of Chen Ming.

Chen Ming could see the layout of the corridor, which was indeed a pure white and simple environment like the research institute.

It didn't look gorgeous, but it was easy to accept.

At least it was much better than the factory that Chen Ming had stayed in before, which was transformed from the original Yu Hui factory.

At the end of the corridor, that is, the center of the research institute.

Chen Ming saw a place like a garden with some ornamental plants planted like outside.

There was a holographic screen on the top here, which could simulate various environments.

Chen Ming did not linger on these places that should be considered entertainment facilities.

He lowered his head and checked the map of the research institute that Huihuang had just sent him on the terminal.

From the entrance, his left hand side was the experimental and research area.

And the right hand side was the living and working area.

There was no one in the entire research institute, nor Yu Hui, only some robots assisting in daily work.

For Chen Ming, it is indeed an excellent living and working environment, and the details of the layout are almost what he asked for.

Chen Ming entered the living area first under Huihuang's guidance.

In addition to the rest room and all the supporting living facilities needed for daily life, there is also a canteen.

There is a cold storage behind the canteen.

However, Chen Ming did not see any place or tools for him to cook nearby.

Huihuang should have seen Chen Ming's doubts at this time and said: "After this, please come to the canteen at a fixed time for your daily meals. The robot here will help you prepare the food."

"If you have a specific need, you can directly respond to the equipment in the corner of the canteen, and it will be ready for you in about three days."

Huihuang's words explained the situation in the canteen clearly.

However, Chen Ming still felt a little strange. After all, Yu Hui had only prepared a bunch of food for Chen Ming in the warehouse before, and had not done it to this extent now.

But it's okay.

Maybe Yu Hui saw that he didn't eat well every day because of his chaotic reading schedule, so he was going to force Chen Ming to have a healthy schedule?

After all, the food stored on Chen Ming's Iron Ore was almost all packaged survival food that he had specially asked Lao Wu to find a relationship to buy as military emergency food.

That is, the kind that Chen Ming found on the mining space station.

Chen Ming was in a hurry when he left Yuhui Factory, and did not have time to take the food in the warehouse.

In addition, the fresh food he brought at the beginning had been eaten long before, so at this time he only had this kind of emergency food on hand.

But emergency food is definitely not good for a long time, otherwise emergency food would not have to be called emergency food.

Therefore, Chen Ming now feels that Yuhui is doing well, at least he no longer needs to waste time cooking.

And he is not afraid that Yuhui will do anything with the food, such as poisoning.

After all, he is now with Yuhui.

If Yuhui really had an idea, there were other ways that were ten thousand times better than poisoning.

Chen Ming's own combat effectiveness is close to nothing, and two random robots can knock him to the ground.

There is absolutely no need for Yuhui to use this method.

And Chen Ming, to this day, has the habit of testing food for toxins before eating.

It continues from Rui Jupiter to today.

Although there are always things that testing equipment cannot detect.

But he's not dead yet, and the food has never been tested for anything wrong.

It shows that Yuhui didn’t have this idea at least before.

Moreover, Chen Ming's habit is just a habit for Yu Hui.

They can monitor Chen Ming's status at any time and know what Chen Ming is doing.

It's all too easy to prepare something that the detection device cannot detect.

So what he is doing now is just to seek psychological comfort, and it has basically no practical significance.

Based on these considerations, Chen Ming had no psychological pressure at all about eating the food provided by Yu Hui.

If he really wanted to die, he would have died long ago.

It just so happened that it was almost lunch time, and Chen Ming could see that the lunch window in the canteen was open.

When Chen Ming walked over, a meal was automatically delivered.

All types of food were what Chen Ming had just eaten yesterday.

Except for the extra cup of tea in this meal.

Chen Ming noticed this immediately.

He picked up the tea and looked at it carefully.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the tea itself, which is made from boiled water and tea leaves.

Next to the window, Chen Ming also saw a constant-temperature hot water kettle, which contained boiling water and could be refilled at any time.

However, there is a problem with the tea leaves floating in the teacup.

These tea leaves are not the usual dark green color of ordinary tea leaves, but a special shiny white color.

And this bright white color is not a dye, but the tea leaves grow like this naturally, exuding a little bit of mist in the water.

At the same time, it also exuded an "aura" that Chen Ming was very familiar with, but couldn't remember for a while.

Chen Ming couldn't think of anything related for the time being, so he took a sip of the tea directly to his mouth.

The taste can be said to be quite good, and it also has a refreshing effect.

Chen Ming deliberately took away a piece of white tea, intending to look back at the name of this thing.

But Chen Ming didn't touch the food for the time being.

"I want to check out the next place first."

Huihuang had no objection to this and continued to guide Chen Ming to the work area next to the living area.

The work area was basically filled with operating equipment that Chen Ming had seen countless times in the maintenance shop and Yu Hui's factory.

I walked around and didn't see anything special.

So Chen Ming turned around and headed to the research area on the other side.

Here, Chen Ming saw a piece of equipment placed in the center of the research area, occupying a considerable space.

"What's this?"

Huihuang immediately explained: "This is a connector for a supercomputer, and it also has some infrastructure to bear the computing load."

“It can call upon the computing power of the supercomputer to which it is connected to provide convenience when frequent data calculations are needed in future research.”

"I see."

Chen Ming nodded slightly, feeling that the conditions provided by Yu Hui were really good.

But for some reason, Chen Ming always felt that something was wrong with this matter.

He just had a big deal with Yu Hui not long ago. It's only been a few days and Yu Hui shouldn't have completely forgotten about it, right?

Give this kind of thing back?

This is something that Chen Ming cannot understand at all.

But again, if someone else gives it to you, and there seems to be nothing wrong with what you give, then not taking it is just out of your mind.

With partial use of a supercomputer's computing power, it can do more than just arithmetic.

Chen Ming is now able to start designing some frigate modules and even the frigate itself.

Just add some more knowledge that Yu Hui didn't teach, or that was not in the Tachyon technology technical book given by Old Wu, and that Chen Ming had not learned in Xinda Company.

The rest just fell into place.

Has more than 20 years of learning and technical experience.

Chen Ming has terrifying learning efficiency after possessing psychic powers as the backbone.

There is also the addition of knowledge that Afterglow has been providing throughout this time.

Having the ability to become a R\u0026D technician is what he should do.

And for Chen Ming, he can use the most cutting-edge technology directly on real objects without any pressure.

So overall, this research institute may be the place that will improve Chen Ming the most in the future.

As long as Yuhui really follows what Huihuang said now, let him use the equipment of the institute.

After leaving the research area, Chen Ming entered the experimental area next door.

There is an empty area in the experimental area.

What is written on the map is the finished product testing area, which is used to test the effects of developed weapons or other things.

Of course, some equipment with relatively small failure consequences will be tested here. If the failure consequences are large, it will definitely have to be tested outside.

But even so, there are many instruments and equipment here.

They are all high-precision top research facilities that can contribute to the research, development and practical experiments of weapons, radiation and shields.

There are a lot of people who know about it, but have never been exposed to it only on paper.

In the past, he had no chance or qualification to access these devices.

Although he has never actually used it, as long as he learns, he should be able to use these devices.

There were also some equipment that Chen Ming couldn't understand at all and had never seen before, but he could feel some strange equipment.

It was like... the cup of tea he had just drank.

Chen Ming suddenly realized at this time what the familiar yet unfamiliar smell that cup of tea gave him was.

It is an aura similar to the psychic fluctuations that the Whispering Stone and the Lie Stone usually spread to the outside world.

It's just that the spiritual energy fluctuations usually spread by stones like the Lie Stone are aggressive, and Chen Ming has become accustomed to them after so many days.

That's why I didn't notice the situation of the tea at the first time.

At this time, Chen Ming also realized one thing, that is, spiritual power is not exclusive to humans.

Plants also seem to have psychic powers.

And those devices on the side that he hadn't seen before should be the same thing.

These devices are all psychic devices.

This was the first time that Chen Ming felt other spiritual energy fluctuations besides the very obvious and special spiritual energy fluctuations of the ectoplasm stone.

I don't know if it's because Chen Ming's abilities are still improving during this period, or because Chen Ming has always been able to feel psychic fluctuations, but he just doesn't feel it because he hasn't encountered it before.

Chen Ming prefers the former, but in any case, it is always a good thing to be able to feel the spiritual energy fluctuations that are different from the extreme spiritual energy fluctuations such as the ectoplasm stone.

At least if Yu Hui wants to use psychic equipment to do something to Chen Ming in the future, he can react in advance.

There will be no situation where you don’t know how to die.

I just don't know whether the psychic equipment here is for Chen Ming, or whether it is intended to be used on him.

Chen Ming didn't feel anything too dangerous at first glance, but it would be hard to say in the future.

Chen Ming moved his eyes away from these psychic devices and looked at a large room in the corner of the experimental area.

The room was empty at this time, there was nothing in it.

"What is this place for?"

Huihuang quickly replied: "We will have a new equipment installed here in a while, and it will be available to you at that time."

"That's it."

Hui Hui said this, so this should be the room used to install the psychic equipment sent by Yu Hui.

I don’t know how the effect of this device will be fundamentally different from other devices that spread psychic energy.

Moreover, the brilliant phrase "will be used by you" makes it difficult for Chen Ming to judge how to use it.

Fortunately, he still has about half a month, which should be enough to make some responses.

Completed all four areas.

Chen Ming suddenly felt a little emotional.

What he had thought before was unexpectedly completed in a strange way.

The idea is to return to the company as a researcher, rely on technical skills to climb up step by step, and start a research institute of your own.

Although both the results and the process look a little off, at least in name it has been accomplished.

However, after experiencing many things before, Chen Ming's current thoughts are not limited to this.

People always change, and as their abilities increase, their ideas change and become bigger and bigger.

One research institute is not enough for Chen Ming now.

So Chen Ming just took a few glances at the entire institute, and then asked Hui Huihuang: "I'm here now, so what are your arrangements for the future?"

"With so many new things, there should be many new tasks for me, right?"

Huihuang's answer this time was slower than before: "There should be."

"should?"

"Yes, my mission ends here, and there will be a new afterglow to take over the job, so I don't know, I can only say that it should."

"What?"
