Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 157 Core Bonus
Huihuang's rhetorical question made Chen Ming a little nervous for a moment.

He seriously thought about whether Huihuang was trying to frame him, and then came to the conclusion that it shouldn't be the case.

And Huihuang did help Chen Ming contact the boss through its feelings.

Otherwise, Chen Ming would still be lying dead on the ground at this time, or he would have just been found by his boss who had not waited for his contact.

However, Chen Ming also had to confirm a few things first to avoid problems when using psychic powers to control new Afterglow individuals in the future.

"So in addition to my blessing of your advantageous logic block, what about the influence of my psychic energy on you? Has it weakened?"

"This has not changed, only the spiritual blessing has weakened."

"Um...ok, just wait for me."

Chen Ming immediately opened the brilliant panel.

After he actively ignored most of the useless information on the panel.

There are only a few lines of valuable information left.

They are [Weapon], [Armor], [Engine] and [Important Equipment].

The rest of the radiation capacity of 18000, the radiation dissipation of 1000, and the fuel reserves are not important.

In the face of Chen Ming's ability, as long as the radiation capacity does not accumulate to full in an instant, and he still has enough mental strength, he can be saved from any situation.

Of course, forget about main-level weapons.

This thing can instantly cause at least [-] radiant energy to the ship, and a serious cruiser has no room for resistance.

In fact, the importance of [Armor] and [Engine] can also be regarded as things of general importance.

After all, they use the general armor and general engines of the Afterglow ships, nothing special.

Chen Ming is not able to modify it now, and there is no need to modify it.

So these two things are definitely not that important compared to the Brilliant-class [weapons], the four-door tachyon lance, and the special equipment of the running ship.

However, Chen Ming once again removed some standard equipment that normal ships have.

What's left is that the [High Energy Focus System Module] and the [Ship AI Overclocking Instrument] that Yu Hui's high-end ships are basically equipped with are of some value.

Of course, there are also [Jump Engine] and [Blink Engine].

However, the most important thing about the Brilliance-class compared to ships of the same level is the [Plasma Reserve System] unique to this type of ship.

This is a system that can use special devices on the Brilliant class to collect plasma floating in space and use it to provide special effects on the Brilliant class' engines or energy weapons.

It is equipped with two subsystems named [Plasma Explosion Propulsion] and [Plasma Weaponized Entanglement].

Improve the instantaneous output capability of the engine and increase the output power of the weapon, or directly use plasma to attack.

But looking at it this way, Chen Ming still didn't find the bonus column related to his psychic energy on the panel.

Could it be that it's on the core panel?
Chen Ming smoothly opened the brilliant Alpha-level core panel.

[Afterglow Alpha Level AI Core (Brilliant)]

[Manufacturer: Yuhui BP-55 Colonial Far North Industrial Production Center]

[Alpha level core bonus: star system preparation]

[Self-awareness: Existence]

[Computing power: galaxy level]

[Executable operations: None]

"There really is..."

There is a new column on the core panel that Chen Ming has never seen before, [Alpha-level core bonus: star system preparation].

It's just such an obvious thing. As long as he's not blind, he should be able to see. Why doesn't he have any impression?
Chen Ming thought carefully.

Suddenly, he realized that he had never opened the panel of the still-running Alpha core before.

I had only seen their panels when I got the G3 core before and when I got the core given by Bai Quan.

But by then G3 was dead and the core was empty.

The core given by Bai Quan has always been dormant.

It may be necessary for this core to stop sleeping and receive the blessing of Chen Ming's spiritual energy after activation to determine the specific core bonus.

Therefore, the core provided by Baiquan naturally does not have this content related to the advantageous logic block.

Fortunately, it's not too late to know now. After all, this is the time when he really wants to start using the Alpha-level core.

The effect of the brilliant [Galaxy System Preparation] is exactly what it said to Chen Ming just now, and it is related to its advantageous logic block.

When brilliant performs any form of management at levels below the galaxy level, computing power can be increased.

However, there is no specific value on the panel. The specific value depends on Huihuang's own feeling, which is only 20%.

Such an Alpha-level core bonus effect gives Chen Ming the feeling that it should be regarded as one of the concrete manifestations of his psychic abilities.

It is also his auxiliary psychic ability that can be regarded as an auxiliary psychic ability in a serious sense.

The effect is to allow the Afterglow controlled by him to have additional bonuses in the advantageous logic block.

To be honest, Chen Ming felt that his psychic ability was a bit strange.

But if you think about it carefully, his psychic ability itself is a rather strange one.

After all, he had never heard anything like the panel from his boss.

The psychic powers of other people are obviously completely different from the psychic powers that have specific panels like his, but are more "virtual" existences.

But it doesn’t matter.

Having such a specific panel would at least make it more convenient for Chen Ming.

After learning all this, Chen Ming turned around and said to Hui Hui: "Okay, I understand, in short, my spiritual power will directly give you a bonus when I affect you, right? "

"Yeah, I always thought you knew that."

Chen Ming was slightly embarrassed.

I can only say that this is the disadvantage of the panel.

There is a panel that makes it easy to view psychic powers, so he doesn't think too much about the effects of his psychic powers in normal times.

You must pay more attention in the future.

When the psychic power increases, feel the effects of the psychic power for yourself, or simply go through the panel again to avoid missing things like now.

Chen Ming took the initiative to skip this topic and said to Huihuang: "So, how do you feel about the effect of this spiritual blessing?"

"very good."

"We Yuhui have always only experienced the negative effects of spiritual energy, and have never experienced the positive blessings of spiritual energy. Your presence has changed everything."

"It makes me even more convinced that your existence is our savior in the afterglow."

Chen Ming followed Hui Hui's words and had an idea: "Then do you think it is possible for my psychic power to attract some Alpha-level afterglows to join me?"

"There are so many of you Afterhui, there will always be a few Afterhui who have the same idea as you, right? Or there should be individuals who want to further improve their abilities, right?"

Huihuang thought seriously for a while and said, "I think it's okay, but it's best not now."

"Your idea is to establish a colony outside the human empire later. Then this colony will be extremely fragile in the early stages of development."

"Any external interference will cause problems in the construction of the colony. You have no way to guarantee whether some other individuals who want to join us are bait actively released by the top management."

"It's worth it to them to kill you at the expense of some individuals."

"And the initial construction of the colony development only needs to have those you brought out before."

"At least establish a colony first, and then try to accept new individuals after having a more complete defense system."

"Well, indeed."

Chen Ming now has supplies and basic equipment that he emptied out of six colonies in two galaxies in Afterglow.

Plus the alpha afterglow HRYY1-APGU2 given by brilliance, brilliance and white spring.

And the one that Chen Ming only recently controlled, the one inside the giant shipyard, controls the Refraction-class, Alpha-class Afterglow that is still parked at the Fourteenth Legion.

A total of four alpha afterglows.

There are also countless beta and gamma level afterglow individuals.

This is far beyond the normal level for the construction of a colony.

There is really no need to continue to be greedy. It is definitely more appropriate to develop honestly than to advance rashly.

"That's it, you continue to stay at the dock for a few days, and then we'll set off."

"receive."

Chen Ming ended this and brilliant topic.

But just when he was about to close the several pages of panels that popped up in front of him.

He suddenly noticed a small plus sign behind the column [Alpha Level Core Bonus] on the panel.

When he selected it, a prompt popped up.

He can consume 100% of his maximum mental power to gain a choice.

As for what to choose.

As Chen Ming clicked the confirmation button, a new panel that he had never seen before popped up.

A total of six choices were placed in front of him.

[Efficient Logistics], [Emergency Repair], [Battle Damage Control], [Confined Process], [Salvage Operations] and [Industrial Planning].

These six options mean that Chen Ming can use a lot of mental energy to turn them into brilliant alpha-level bonuses just like the [Galaxy System Planning] that Huihuang himself obtained due to his superior logic block.

And their specific effects are basically the same as their names.

[Efficient Logistics] can improve the computing power of individuals in performing optimal path algorithms.

If Chen Ming was not mistaken, then the increase in computing power in this area could affect the logistics and transportation efficiency of his entire colony and even the entire galaxy in the future.

And since the conditions and environment of logistics and transportation will change, this is a capability that requires long-term effects.

[Emergency Repair] can improve the calculation power of damage confirmation and repair plan planning.

If used in a colony, the only use Chen Ming can think of is to quickly repair various equipment when they malfunction.

However, Chen Ming felt that its more effective effect was on the fleet.

Damage to the fleet can be quickly controlled and repaired.

It's really good in Chen Ming's situation, but the problem is that Chen Ming's own ability has already pronounced this choice a death sentence.

Then there is [Battle Damage Control]. This ability can improve the calculation power when performing battle damage control when a ship is damaged in battle.

This effect seems to be similar to [Emergency Repair], but the scope of the effect is smaller, and it is almost concentrated on the ship, or even one ship.

Although the effect seems to be stronger than [Emergency Repair], it can analyze the most reasonable control plan for all damage in an instant during wartime.

However, Chen Ming's ability... can only be said to make this [Battle Damage Control] completely lose any meaning of existence.

So Chen Ming continued to look at the next one, [Sealed Process].

It can improve the computing power when planning work contents such as spacecraft maintenance process, industrial equipment maintenance process and colony infrastructure maintenance process.

The effect may be to optimize the maintenance process of these facilities, reduce the scale of industrial facilities, and reduce losses.

This is a valuable ability.

Next is [Salvage Operation].It can improve the computing power when salvaging scrap ships, cleaning battlefields, and confirming damage to damaged spaceships.

It seems useless. In Chen Ming's opinion, optimizing specifically for cleaning the battlefield is unnecessary.

If you win, you can clean up slowly; if you lose, there is no need to clean up.

The only place where it can be applied seems to be when Yuhui wants to quickly take out the core from a sunk ship on the battlefield.

But this effect can only be said to be very average.

Then comes the final [industrial planning].

This [Industrial Planning] ability is the same as the Chen Ming psychic blessing obtained by Brilliance itself due to the advantageous logic block, which is the [Star System Planning].

It's just that the scope of the effect is more refined, not all the work inside the galaxy, but only limited to the specific planning of industrial equipment.

However, this ability does not limit the scale of the planned industrial facilities. As small as a factory, as large as an industrial colony, or even an industrial galaxy, they are all under planning.

And it plans the entire industry, from input to production to output.

The entire process can be optimized as a result.

It can be said that it has top-notch capabilities in terms of logistics.

[Industrial Planning], [Efficient Logistics], and [Closed Process] are all options that Chen Ming likes.

But specifically whether a decision should be made so soon.

Chen Ming still planned to think about it first.

So he contacted Huihuang again.

"Mr. Chen Ming?"

In brilliant confusion, Chen Ming said directly: "I want to ask you a question."

"You ask."

"Do you know how to manage the colony's logistics system?"

"Yes, this is very important for the four colonies I managed in the galaxy before."

“What about salvage operations on the scrap ship?”

"Yes, this is what I have been working on before I was promoted to Alpha level."

Chen Ming probably understood it at this point.

However, in order to make sure he was right, he still asked Hui Hui about all the choices that appeared on the remaining panels.

And Huihuang's answer is very simple: "These are the abilities that I have mastered to the highest level and spent the most time learning."

Then Chen Ming can be sure.

The six options that appeared on his panel were not given randomly, but based on the highly mastered abilities of the Alpha-level Afterglow that could receive bonuses, he could solidify whatever abilities he could.

And it seems that only one of these six abilities can be solidified, so he must make a careful choice.

And Chen Ming still felt that way.

The more refined these six abilities are and the smaller their coverage is, the more bonuses they will receive.

For example, Brilliance's current [Galaxy System Planning] is almost equivalent to directly increasing Glory's computing power by 20%.

Then other abilities can only act on a smaller range, and it is possible to increase them by 100% or even 200%.

But Chen Ming still needs to consider the specific choice, or go back and ask for brilliant ideas.

But not now, he still has things to do.

But Chen Ming was still a little emotional.

An innate advantage logic block paired with an acquired additional alpha-level bonus.

It is completely possible to have more advantages in terms of advantages, or to go further in terms of cooperation with advantageous logic blocks.

This is the most powerful addition of his spiritual energy to Yuhui individuals.

Only when Yuhui is in his hands will he have the most outstanding performance.

These powerful afterglows are the foundation for his future settlement.

After Chen Ming confirmed the bonus of his spiritual energy to Yuhui, he did not directly contact another Yuhui who was parked at the Fourteenth Legion.

He still planned to wait and deal with it together with the other things he had to deal with at Baiquan, so as not to have to find one person several times.

Huiyao is still in the galaxy where he is temporarily stationed. He seems to be having a good time with Gamma A, so Chen Ming is not in a hurry to disturb him.

You can wait until he leaves the pirate space station and really sets off before confirming Huiyao's situation.

He was not in a hurry for the core Chen Ming had on hand. He would have time anyway.

None of these Alpha-level afterglows can escape.

Now he still has to go find the factory director first.

Chen Ming quickly arrived at the space station administration building.

During Chen Ming's absence, the entire building seemed to have been renovated, and a lot of security measures were installed.

So much so that when he wanted to go in, he was stopped by the guard at the door.

After all, he was wearing a suit of power armor, and although it was for civilian use, it definitely had to be stopped.

His identity card was also handed over to Lao Wu before, and he has not gotten it back yet.

Chen Ming originally wanted to contact the factory director directly and ask him to let him know.

However, he looked carefully and finally decided to call Lao Wu.

Lao Wu immediately calmed down and said on the phone, "Hello?"

"Hey Lao Wu, my card is at your place, right? Send it over for me. I'm at the entrance of the management office now."

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

"okay."

Lao Wu agreed quickly.

The speed of running away from the repair shop is also very fast.

The speed when we arrived at the gate of the management office was even faster.

His desire to catch fish made him rush from the maintenance shop to the management office in just 10 minutes.

When he saw Chen Ming, who was wearing civilian power armor near the gate, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who had such strange habits.

Old Wu greeted Chen Ming from a distance: "Hey, Xiao Ming, are you back?"

"I came back before, haven't you seen the ship yet?"

"I saw it, I just said that casually."

He came to Chen Ming, greeted the guard, and handed over Chen Ming's ID card.

The expressions of several guards who were still a little wary changed slightly and became more respectful.

Without confirming Chen Ming's identity, he just gave way.

"Please come in."

It seemed that the factory director or someone else had given instructions in advance for Chen Ming to let him go.

After successfully helping Chen Ming enter the building and confirming that no one was around.

Lao Wu habitually put his hand on Chen Ming's shoulder and said with a very touched look: "You didn't ask Lao Lu, but instead asked me to help you deliver the card. It seems that you still care about our friendship."

"of course."

"So what are you doing here?"

Chen Ming opened the visor of his helmet, smiled at Old Wu next to him and said, "I'm looking for the factory director."

Lao Wu's hand instantly let go of Chen Ming's shoulder, but Chen Ming held his backhand again.

Lao Wu struggled for a few times and found that he couldn't get away. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha... I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, but it is rare for you to come back. Remember to find me when I get off work in the evening, and I will treat you to dinner. "

"that's it."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around deftly, took out the arm held by Chen Ming and ran away.

Chen Ming waved to him and didn't care.

A man walked into the building and found the elevator.

However, he did not rush to the factory director's office. Instead, he followed his memory and found the office of the director of the administration.

Chen Ming did not barge in directly, but knocked on the door in a very civilized manner.

A greasy-sounding voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chen Ming pushed the door open and saw a plump middle-aged man, about 50 or [-] years old, sitting behind the only desk in the room.

There was no one else in the office at this time.

The plump middle-aged man raised his head and saw Chen Ming, who was wearing power armor. He immediately reached into the drawer next to him and asked very warily: "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Chen Ming did not answer the first question, but said: "I'm looking for the director."

The plump middle-aged man frowned and replied, "I am."

Chen Ming pretended to look into the office and confirmed the environment of the office.

"What about the previous director?"

The new director's face darkened, he pointed to the side and said, "Go next door, he has been demoted to deputy director."

Chen Ming nodded, turned around and left.

The voice of the new director came again from behind: "The eyes are on the head for use."

Chen Ming didn't refute him, nor was he angry, and just left the director's office.

But he conveniently left a small mechanical device in his office.

This stuff will come in handy later.

There was no need for him to be angry with a dead man.

Chen Ming did not go to the deputy director's office next. After all, he was not very familiar with the current deputy director.

So Chen Ming didn't hang around and went directly to the factory director.

After pushing open the office door, the factory director reached out and waved Chen Ming over.

Chen Ming dismantled the power armor on his body on the way over, and then sat in front of the factory director.

The factory director pushed two cards and several paper newspapers on the table in front of Chen Ming.

"what is this?"

Chen Ming took it and found that it was an academic newspaper.

There is a line of large characters written on its front page.

"Good news!"Cinda Rockwell Company has made great achievements in antimatter technology research! 》
