Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 217 Reconciliation

Before putting on his helmet, Bai Quan took the terminal and made a call.

After connecting, he said directly: "I have given you permission to watch the battle. Please pay attention and estimate the level of Chen Ming's mental power."

The voice of a white spring psychic friend came from the other end of the phone: "Is this simulation really reliable?"

"Of course it's not reliable, so it's just an estimate."

"Chen Ming came from the Psychic Association. You know their rules. Chen Ming is not willing to accept any tests now, so he can only use this method first."

The psyker friend said with a somewhat unhappy tone: "If you ask me, just give him a test quietly while his deep consciousness is submerged. Many people are looking forward to Chen Ming being tested one day, so just do this There are so many things going on."

Bai Quan decisively rejected this idea: "No, I don't want to turn a good friend into an enemy."

"Whatever, I just mentioned it casually."

Bai Quan did not dwell on this point too much and said: "Let me ask you something, for you psychics, is there anything good that can assist in the recovery of mental power or directly improve the mental power?"

"A good thing with these two functions? Let me think about it."

"Ectoplasm stones with the character of 'spirit', special psychic creatures, ship spirits, and spiritual weapons will also work. Oh, by the way, I heard that there is something called condensed psychic energy source. This seems to work too."

The main body also provides the blessing of the same thinking speed as the main body to the part of consciousness on the prosthesis.

It is equivalent to an independent sub-consciousness controlled by Chen Ming and affected by Chen Ming's main body's thinking speed.

The bonuses and feedback from the prosthetic body did not overlap with each other, and things like stepping on the left foot and the right foot to reach the sky did not happen, which ultimately led to the current situation.

The consciousness of the prosthetic body has indeed been accelerated, but at the same time, this part of consciousness has also undergone some changes along with the main consciousness of Chen Ming's body, which makes Chen Ming's thinking speed also accelerate.

There was only partial consciousness of Chen Ming on the prosthesis over there.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, we have to go in quickly, don't make people wait for a long time."

Then the thinking of the prosthetic body was accelerated and fed back to the main body.

However, this simulation device still left a very deep impression on Chen Ming. After all, the rate of thought acceleration was a bit exaggerated.

The main body cannot continue to accelerate due to the existence of two hive minds, so it only reaches about five times the original speed.

It is probably the mechanical race and the Zerg race that provide the main body with the blessing of thinking speed.

Wait, Chen Ming suddenly understood why the main body's acceleration efficiency was only 10%.

Therefore, the superposition of the two effects has made Chen Ming's thinking speed reach an exaggerated level.

At the same time, after getting used to the accelerated thinking for a while, he quickly got used to it.

This is good news, at least Chen Ming will not be unable to move on both sides due to the partial consciousness on the prosthetic body.

If part of it is taken away, it seems to be of great benefit to the subsequent development of the insect queen.

It seems that after waiting for it to end, Chen Ming will have to ask the insect queen if she feels her mind speeding up.

He hadn't noticed the existence of such a thing in analog equipment before.

Moreover, this situation did not have a great impact on Chen Ming himself.

After all, the prosthetic's thinking acceleration is real, and the prosthesis can still do many things at a terrifying thinking speed.

In addition to stating its main consciousness, the ontology here also has the consciousness of the insect swarm and the machine race mounted on it, which provides the ontology with an increase in thinking.

It seems that we need to look back at this technology that may involve the brain and nerves.

Let’s see if the Zerg and Machine races are purely a drag in this regard, or if they take away some of the blessings that Chen Ming should have had.

"I don't believe it. I guess you suspect that Chen Ming has something similar."

One day can be used for five days.

"You know, but you still ask."

"I know, I know."

Chen Ming actually had something similar on hand.

"Well... there are also various devices found in the psyker ruins of that civilization, and the unique psionic weapons they left behind. That's about it. What's wrong? Are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Of course, Chen Ming's current thinking speed itself has been accelerated several times with the assistance of the two hive mind networks of the mechanical race and the Zerg race.

The prosthetic's thinking acceleration rate allows things that take a month to be solved in just a dozen hours.

I got it from Yuhui, the neural overclocking device.

But this put him in a very strange state.

Therefore, it is also accelerated by the feedback of the prosthesis, so the overall acceleration efficiency is of course low.

It's because of these two hive minds.

Chen Ming quickly understood the situation after the prosthesis entered deep consciousness.

Baiquan said and put on his helmet.

Chen Ming has completed deep consciousness dive, and his body can still move normally.

Let’s look at the current situation from the beginning.

The acceleration efficiency of the thinking speed acquired by the main body is about 10%. In other words, Chen Ming's main body's thinking speed was accelerated by nearly five times in just a few dozen seconds.

"It's okay, I'm just asking."

When Baiquan just lay down on the equipment.

It has the ability to stimulate brain nerves, increase nerve activity, and accelerate thinking within a certain period of time after use.

When I first came across this device, Yuhui’s file showed that it was a relic of another civilization.

But I didn't expect that the empire had already created something like this in analog equipment based on this technology.

But it’s hard to say which of the two is more suitable for Chen Ming to use.

After all, if Chen Ming only needs to use the neural overclocking device for ten minutes every day, Chen Ming's nerves will be activated throughout the next day, ensuring that Chen Ming can maintain this effect when he is awake.

And this thought accelerating device seems to have some limitations.

The first and most obvious thing is that you have to lie on the device.

And since there is such equipment, Chen Ming does not see it being used on a large scale anywhere in the empire.

Either it's a cost issue, or the equipment just can't be used for long periods of time.

If Chen Ming wants to get one, it would be okay if the problem is the front problem, but if it is the latter problem, then it is better to use it less.

He had to figure this out.

Of course he doesn't have time to do these things now.

When Chen Ming completely completed deep consciousness dive, he found that he was in a dark virtual space.

There were some figures standing nearby.

Counting him, there were ten people in total, separated by half and half, standing here face to face, and Cheng Xinghai stood opposite him.

When she saw Chen Ming, she showed a sly smile on her face, stretched out her hand to Chen Ming and said, "We're finally here, we can start."

Chen Ming looked at Cheng Xinghai's hand, and then looked to the side. The other eight people standing face to face were shaking hands with each other as a sign of friendship.

Chen Ming also held it.

However, his attention was not on Cheng Xinghai at all, but on observing the other eight people present.

He didn't know any of the seven people, and the only one he knew was Cheng Xinghe, who happened to be standing in his row. Cheng Xinghe immediately noticed Chen Ming's gaze and immediately turned his head in embarrassment.

But Chen Ming didn't do anything.

He won't remember the past things that have ended for too long. Cheng Xinghe's current behavior is really unnecessary in his opinion.

But he couldn't care about what happened to others, so Chen Ming didn't say anything and continued to observe the others.

These people all looked very young, the oldest in their early twenties, a few years younger than Chen Ming.

However, they don't look like young people who are just starting out, but more like the mainstay of a force.

I just don't know why, except for him, Cheng Xinghe and Cheng Xinghai, the remaining seven people have very serious faces.

It looked like he was not going to a simulated battlefield, but a real battlefield.

But it’s hard to ask Chen Ming at this time.

Because after both parties met and shook hands, the friendly pre-war communication session ended.

Cheng Xinghai and the other four people standing in front of Chen Ming gradually disappeared.

Only four people who belong to the same camp as Chen Ming are still with him.

And from this moment on.

Chen Ming found that there were two more times in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

In an outside standard earth time, time passes slowly, which is caused by accelerated thinking.

The other is a countdown time in the simulation that is the same as the normal time in perception. The total length is just over half an hour a month.

One month is the deadline for the next simulated war, and half an hour should be the final preparation time now.

At the same time, a special terminal appeared on Chen Ming's hand.

It seems that participants on the same team can communicate directly between each other.

After confirming their own situation, the five people present looked at each other.

Except for Chen Ming, the four people seemed to know each other.

So except for Cheng Xinghe, the other three people quickly locked their eyes on Chen Ming.

One of them suddenly took a small step towards Chen Ming and said to Chen Ming: "Hello Chen Ming, I am Song Pu, a senior majoring in military command at the Military University directly under the 14th Army Corps."

"Hello."

Chen Ming nodded in response and asked, "Do you need me to do anything?"

Song Pu did not answer the question directly, but asked: "I heard from Cheng Xinghai that this is your first time to participate in such a large-scale simulated battle. Is that true?"

"Correct."

Chen Ming did not deny it.

"Then let me give you a brief introduction first."

"What we are conducting now is a large-scale simulated battle with the star field as the background."

“Because of the vast scope of capabilities required in large-scale warfare, it must be conducted by multiple people.”

"We need to work together and accomplish the goals set in the background to achieve victory."

Although Chen Ming had already learned the general situation from Bai Quan before, Song Pu would definitely not disrespect Chen Ming if he said it again now.

So he simply showed that he didn't understand anything and said: "I understand, but I heard that the background of this mission is a civil war, divided into two camps, the government army and the rebels. So are we the government army or the rebels?" Rebels?”

Before Song Pu could answer, someone next to him said, "This needs to be confirmed after we actually go in."

Song Pu nodded to the young man who was speaking, who looked a little chubby in square-rimmed glasses, and turned back to Chen Ming and said, "That's it."

Chen Ming glanced at the little fat man and asked, "You seem to have cooperated before?"

"Yes, several of us have participated in similar simulated battles together before."

"Otherwise, let's get to know each other first so we can address each other easily."

"How about we call each other by code names according to our previous habits after we completely enter the simulation?"

Of course Chen Ming would not refuse this and said, "I have no objection."

Song Pu patted his chest and said, "I, Song Pu, codenamed Commander, am good at overall planning and command of large-scale battlefields."

Then he pointed to the fat man wearing glasses who had just spoken and said: "This is Dong Miao, who is in the same grade as me in the same school. He majors in logistics. He is good at the dispatch of logistics supplies and the integration of logistics routes to protect frontline troops. supply of materials.”

Song Pu's eyes immediately turned to the man who had been silent and very strong and said: "This Hong Guanghong's code name is engineer. He majors in military theory at the Military Industry University. He is good at the planning and scheduling of military projects. He is responsible for military industry. Industrial planning and layout of various military facilities.”

Finally, he pointed at Cheng Xinghe and said, "This is Cheng Xinghe, codenamed General. He is good at battlefield command. It seems that you have known each other before?"

Cheng Xinghe nodded slightly, still seeming to avoid Chen Ming.

However, it was clear that Baiquan had already responded before, gave him the compensation he deserved, and solemnly apologized.

But Cheng Xinghe seems to be unable to let go of this matter, and he doesn't know what the situation is.

At this time, Bai Quan, who had just laid down on the device and had not yet had time to completely sink into deep consciousness, suddenly felt his nose was a little itchy, but this feeling quickly disappeared.

Bai Quan didn't care and continued to sink his consciousness into the device.

Chen Ming naturally could not imagine how much Cheng Xinghe suffered after returning.

He just thought about the best way for him to do things in this situation, and chose to come to Cheng Xinghe and extend his hand to him.

Cheng Xinghe hesitated for a moment, then finally stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously.

"Feel sorry."

"So our previous conflicts end here?"

"Well, thank you."

Cheng Xinghe nodded to Chen Ming and put away his previous appearance.

Bai Quan's punishment for him actually ended when he completed the tasks assigned to him by Bai Quan.

The main reason for being like this is that he has been worried about Chen Ming's attitude.

He is Bai Quan's junior, and Chen Ming has grown from being on par with him to being on equal footing with Bai Quan in just a few months.

Cheng Xinghe felt an indescribable gap and worry.

But after actually meeting Chen Ming, and Chen Ming showed a normal attitude.

Cheng Xinghe also realized that his worries were unnecessary, and it would not be a problem to continue.

So since Chen Ming gave him a suitable step, he followed the trend.

Moreover, Bai Quan's words that Cheng Xinghai conveyed to him during the day were still ringing in his ears.

If Bai Quan was reported to school because of his poor performance on the battlefield, it would still be embarrassing even if he was already in his senior year and went out to participate in the war as an intern.

So now he wants to put aside all the past things and fully devote himself to the next simulated war.

It would also be a good thing for him if he could let go completely rather than temporarily.
