Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 236 Behavior
The thoughts in Bai Quan's mind were extremely clear.

He has now completely understood that the idea that he could gain support simply by winning on the battlefield could only be used on the battlefield.

Now that he is on the political field, he must change his thinking.

But even if he can do it, he will let some of the battleships and soldiers on them do missions that are almost certain to lead to victory.

There was no way he could collude with scum like Zuo Jing for revenge, even now.

But even without using such despicable methods, he can still accomplish some things.

With his style of combining thinking and Chen Ming's approach, when facing external dangers and targets, he must give priority to protecting himself, that is, protecting his own interests.

His interests are his base.

The branch of the Fourteenth Legion, his cronies, and Chen Ming.

The Fourteenth Army Division is his most basic base, there is no doubt about this.

Turmoils that do not affect the fundamentals can be easily eliminated.

Because the most urgent thing next is definitely not him as the victim.

This is when the incident is at its peak.

The contents of Baiquan's interrogation from the arrested leftists also confirmed these contents.

Bai Quan knew that there were many people targeting him.

Not only because of Chen Ming's friendship with him, but also because Chen Ming is now someone he needs to rely on to a certain extent.

Since the cost of the two industrial colonies was too high, and Lou Wei was worried that Chen Ming was not actually cheating, he sent the cargo ship pilot to destroy the dome and waste Chen Ming's time even if he was involved with Zuo Jing.

And the gambling agreement after the previous simulated battle had spread throughout the entire Fourteenth Army in just a few hours.

It just so happened that he had just had a conflict with Lou Wei, and Lou Wei had not yet started to verify Chen Ming's psychic abilities.

But now, the matter is not over yet, and the internal investigation has not yet ended.

Therefore, he had to calm Chen Ming's emotions immediately.

It would be extremely difficult to find out who they are one by one and then take revenge one by one.

This is something he would never do before.

Bai Quan didn't even have to take the initiative to spread the news, because someone would definitely do it.

So he must give Chen Ming enough explanation to stabilize Chen Ming.

The Fourteenth Army Corps is no longer just reorganized. The internal factional struggle will definitely allow the factions that are in conflict with Lou Wei's faction to spread this news.

The relationship between Chen Ming and him is not too close, and Chen Ming has not clearly expressed a clear attitude until now.

As long as it cannot affect the opponent's foundation, it is a completely meaningless method.

Because if it were him before, he would definitely give priority to dealing with the disgusting left path, and then follow the driver's clues to trace it.

And after a period of time, this news will also spread outside the Fourteenth Army Corps.

At this time, the depression in Bai Quan's heart had completely dissipated, and he had enough time to think calmly.

Just like what he tried to do before.

So soon, a rumor will spread within the Fourteenth Legion.

The combination of the popularity of the two events will definitely be the most lively and eye-catching event in recent times.

It's best to pin the blame on the culprit, but it doesn't matter if it's on someone else.

No one dared to have anything to do with Zuo Jing at this time under the watchful eyes of the entire legion.

Although he would definitely find something in the end, he would not be able to do any harm to his main enemy.

Just find someone to put the pot on.

Even if Chen Ming just sat down in the branch, he had already helped him a lot, not to mention that Chen Ming was actually doing something.

The confidants are all trustworthy people who came with his old boss or were trained by him during his promotion to major general to lieutenant general. He can trust these people directly without having to worry too much. .

They even planned to use the samples of the machine race to directly destroy the research institute and kill the researchers. This would not only waste Chen Ming's time for repeated research, but also delay the actual test date.

As long as the fundamentals are stable, it doesn't matter how the rest of the market fluctuates.

All he had to do was the simplest thing, to put the blame on what had just happened.

And since he has captured the leftists who finally carried out the mission, isn't it just a matter of one sentence to interrogate everything from the mouths of the leftists?
As a lieutenant general, he doesn't even need to say the words himself, nor does he need to issue any orders like in the army. As long as he expresses a similar meaning, the people below will naturally say everything for him. Speak up.

So he didn't need to care about who was targeting him and Chen Ming, nor who did it.

However, the important thing about this basic base is the framework, not the actual person in it, so Baiquan does not need to worry about the destruction of the branch's framework, and in disguise, there is no need to worry about turmoil within the framework.

Bai Quan has already planned the future development in his mind.

And his cronies will definitely do what he wants to see.

Only Chen Ming is different.

Since someone wanted to involve him in Zuo Jing's affairs, he would throw away this big pot that no one dared to shoulder.

So from now on, he's going to change the way he does things.

Once this kind of family scandal is spread, the top few people of the 14th Legion will definitely not be able to sit still.

Then there is a deadline for the victim Baiquan Chenming to resolve the matter.

It is better to let Lou Wei, who is suspected to be the most likely murderer, to solve the matter and find the real culprit. The answer will be clear.

This is what Bai Quan understands after thinking about it and what he should do now.

It doesn't matter who is tacitly allowing Zuo Jing to do things, or who wants to target him, it is enough for him to turn this matter into something beneficial to him.

This is political thinking.

Baiquan needs this kind of thinking now, not the previous kind of thinking on the battlefield.

He was still too young before and his thoughts were too simple.

The more Bai Quan thought about it, the more he felt like a fool before.

There were obviously many people who had taken the initiative to give them opportunities before, but he failed to seize any of them.

But fortunately it's not too late.

Now that his opponent is still actively giving opportunities, he will definitely not let them go.

Moreover, in the previous incident involving Lou Wei, it was not just Lou Wei who made a mistake.

The person who provided Lou Wei with the administrator rights of the simulation device definitely had a certain status. He gave the rights to people who should not have given them, and there was also a problem.

This is the key point, this is the opportunity for him to seize the opportunity and spread this incident to the opposite high-level officials.

As for the method of extricating himself after taking the blame, didn't someone provide him with an example before?

All it takes is a spy.

The external methods have been confirmed, as for the internal ones.

Baiquan originally wanted to repair the loopholes and problems on the basis of the current branch.

but now……

repair?

Fix shit.

The dam, riddled with holes since its construction, needs not repairing but rebuilding.

He wants to conduct an internal purge and get rid of all the people with problems.

If a person suffers too much loss, he will call in new people.

The Gallo Star Territory is close to the border, and from time to time it is common to encounter some scattered afterglow invasions. People who live on the border are basically bloody, and there is absolutely no shortage of soldiers if they really want to recruit.

As for people in administrative positions.

He came from the Fourteenth Army Corps to work, so it was natural for him to transfer people from the Fourteenth Army Corps headquarters.

His old boss would never stop him in any way, and was even very happy to help him choose the right manpower.

Both the soldiers and the government affairs system at the branch must undergo a blood change.

Bai Quan now understands that his old boss was really afraid that he would have an easy life in the branch and would definitely allow others to mix in a lot of sand when organizing the initial team of the branch.

The amount of sand actually hidden is definitely many times more than what was exposed during the last intervention in the war zone.

Although his old boss's actions made his life very difficult these days, once he understood all this, his progress in politics was absolutely unprecedented.

Bai Quan's eyes gradually became as cold as when he was on the battlefield.

The current political field is his battlefield.

That night.

Chen Ming spent a whole day writing down in black and white what he had said before in front of a bunch of people.

And all the contents of the memory in the simulation, including the design blueprint of the giant shipyard, were recorded in the computer.

Then, I also sorted out the content of the repeated research to be carried out next.

After doing these things and having dinner, Chen Ming called Lu Kang into his office in the Dome Central Laboratory.

In Lu Kang's slightly reserved and frightened eyes, Chen Ming asked him to sit on the sofa next to the coffee table, and sat opposite him.

"Thank you for recording that video before."

When Lu Kang heard this, his expression instantly relaxed and he said, "It's not hard, I just happened to be there."

"Anyway, you did help me discover the problem in advance, so I will definitely reward you."

"There are many empty laboratories in the laboratory building now. I can assign you a permanent laboratory. You can just pick one that you can tolerate."

"Then I saw in your video that you were interested in the Purgatory Core, right? I can also help you apply for one."

"There will also be a bonus of five hundred thousand."

It’s not a lot in terms of quantity, but it’s enough to cover Lu Kang’s salary for about half a year.

Lu Kang's face also showed uncontrollable joy.

But Chen Ming suddenly said seriously: "But there is one thing I have to tell you clearly."

Lu Kang suddenly became worried again; "Say."

"Remember to clean up the garbage on the rooftop yourself. The cleaning staff may not go up there every day, but don't make it too messy."

Lu Kang breathed a sigh of relief again and said firmly: "I know, I will clean it up."

"Okay, go ahead. The bonus will be credited to your card tomorrow. Remember to go to the warehouse to pick up your purgatory core in a few days. When you get the core and actually test it, remember to apply for a special experimental site."

Lu Kang was also a little flattered by Chen Ming's detailed concern.

He repeatedly said that he understood, then left. And just when Lu Kang left, Chen Ming was about to start doing some research now.

Bai Quan suddenly pushed open the door of his office.

Chen Ming immediately took a cup and poured a cup of tea for Bai Quan. At the same time, he noticed that Bai Quan's face was very calm, and the depression during the day was gone from his brows.

When he handed the tea to Bai Quan, he took the opportunity to ask: "You seem a little more relaxed?"

Bai Quan took the tea, blew it for a while, took a slow sip of wine, and said in an unhurried manner: "Well, I figured out some things during the day, thank you very much."

Chen Ming didn't react for a while and asked, "Thank me?"

"Correct."

Seeing that Bai Quan didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, Chen Ming didn't pay attention.

It is most likely that Bai Quan became like this during the day and had an idea. This is not a bad thing.

But I still have to ask Chen Ming: "Then you are here now because you have clues about what happened during the day?"

"Now that I have the clues, I have also thought about how to deal with this matter. I will make them pay a sufficient price."

"But I came here mainly to give you something."

When Bai Quan came in, Chen Ming noticed that Bai Quan was carrying a small bag.

When Chen Ming looked at the small bag, Bai Quan put the bag directly on the table and opened it to reveal a square metal box inside.

Bai Quan stretched out his hand and touched the metal and something like a round button on the top. The outer shell of the box opened by itself, displaying the contents inside in front of Chen Ming like a base.

This is an irregularly shaped thing that looks like some kind of mechanical creation, but the overall appearance is somewhat weird.

The overall shape is somewhat similar to the Purgatory Core, but it has multiple strange flat cylindrical protrusions.

The angle and length of the protrusion are not large, and they are not too uncomfortable.

It just looks a little special.

It was so special that Chen Ming knew what it was just by looking at it.

Bai Quan also said immediately: "This is the synchrotron core. Because it was delivered early, I sent it to you directly."

Chen Ming reached out and pressed on the synchrotron core, and a panel that was as crude as when he opened the Purgatory Core panel jumped out.

It can even be said that except for the seven words [Synchrotron Core] in the name, the panel has almost no use.

Fortunately, Chen Ming can also turn on the three-dimensional imaging of the synchrotron core through the panel.

However, just like when he touched the core of Purgatory, the three-dimensional imaging was almost incomprehensible.

But as long as he is given time, he can still figure out the role of this core.

Chen Ming put the synchrotron core aside and looked at the small bag that was still bulging on the table.

"What else is in there?"

Bai Quan reached out and took out a colorful spherical object.

Chen Ming's eyes were instantly attracted and he asked, "What is this?"

"Aurora Wind Spirit's egg, the pet you asked for some time ago."

Chen Ming recalled it for a moment and remembered what happened some time ago. He shook his head slightly and said, "I almost forgot."

"But I still remember."

Bai Quan handed the Aurora Wind Spirit's egg to Chen Ming and said: "The approval of this thing is even more troublesome than the synchrotron core, but it has just arrived now."

After speaking, he picked up the small bag, shook it twice, and poured out a dozen small medicine bottles. These small medicine bottles all had weak psychic energy fluctuations.

Then he sent Chen Ming a document on the terminal.

The content of the document is a list of medicines.

"These are the medicines I told you about for psykers."

Chen Ming put the egg aside again and moved closer with great interest.

Baiquan picked up a medicine bottle at random and said, "For example, this is a healing medicine used to cure mental trauma caused by excessive use of mental power."

"Then this is a healing drug for people whose brains have been damaged by psychic shocks."

"And this one is a stimulant drug used to stimulate mental power and improve the effect of psychic energy in a short period of time. It is really used by psychics."

"There is also this spray, which is administered intranasally and stimulates the cerebral cortex and nerves to speed up the transmission of nerve electrical signals. It is also a stimulant drug."

Bai Quan pushed most of the poured medicine bottles together: "These are medicines used under special circumstances."

Then he pointed to the remaining bottles of medicine and said, "The rest are auxiliary medicines that help stabilize the mood and improve the quality of meditation."

"But I feel that these things are of no use to you. Your talent is already incomparable to many people who take drugs."

Chen Ming said nothing and looked at the medicines and their documentation one by one.

He is still very interested in these things.

Even if he does not need to rely on external forces for spiritual training, the value of these things is there.

What's more, he is not the only one with psychic powers around him.

Both the Insect Queen and Little Ten possess psychic powers.

They may be able to rely on these drugs to do things they couldn't do before.

Chen Ming is still very optimistic about the possibility of the insect queen's psychic powers continuing to develop.

Just when Chen Ming was thinking about whether these drugs should be given to the Queen of Worms first so that she could try to reproduce.

Bai Quan suddenly took out another card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ming.

"And this thing."

Chen Ming took it and found that it was a savings card.

Then he raised his head and looked at Bai Quan with some confusion.

"This is what I give you. It is considered as compensation for the trouble you have encountered during this period. It is not much, just one billion."

"I originally wanted to give you something else, but I didn't know what you needed, so in the end I could only give you some money."

Chen Ming turned the savings card around in his hand and put it away.

"Thanks, but you've encountered more trouble and losses these days than me, right?"

When Bai Quan saw Chen Ming accept the money and asked him this question in turn, it basically confirmed that Chen Ming's current mentality was relatively stable and there was no sign of anger because of what he had experienced these days.

It seems that nothing will happen to Chen Ming's basic base.

So when Bai Quan answered Chen Ming's question, he just smiled and said, "The trouble I encountered was expected. The trouble you encountered was an unforeseen disaster, and the compensation you deserve must be indispensable."

With that said, he didn't want to dwell on the issue of compensation anymore, so he directly took out a test report that looked like it had just been printed and placed it in front of Chen Ming.

Chen Ming looked at it and saw that this test report seemed to be a test report on the driver's physical condition during the day.

I can only say that I am very healthy and in good physical condition.

But this is obviously the biggest problem.

Chen Ming's face showed a slight embarrassment. The insect queen seemed to have gone a little too far when cleaning the driver's stimulants.

Bai Quan said as if he didn't see the embarrassment on Chen Ming's face: "Let me ask you something, what did you inject into the driver?"

"After injecting that dose of DP-2, I asked several doctors and they all said he would die. It should be that you injected something into him that saved his life."

Fortunately, Chen Baiming had already thought of an excuse the day before and said, "Yes, I injected him with the antidote I bought from the black market before. I don't know if it worked, but I didn't have anything else at the time." If you have the medicine in hand, just use it first."

Everyone can tell that Chen Ming is talking nonsense, but everyone has their own secrets, and Chen Ming definitely has more than one secret.

So Bai Quan didn't hesitate at all, and just asked: "Will this medicine have any side effects?"

"I don't think so."

Bai Quan received the answer, nodded and put away the inspection report.

"Then it is certain that the driver's amnesia is not a physical problem, but a mental problem. This is quite important news."

Bai Quan thought for a while and suddenly said to Chen Ming: "How about I tell you my future plans and plans."

Chen Ming did not agree, but asked: "Why do I have the feeling that you are explaining the aftermath? Once the plan fails and you die, just wait for me to avenge you."

"I'm not going to die that easily. It's just that I figured out something today and I think it's best to tell you in advance when I'm doing something related to you."

Chen Ming was still a little puzzled. He couldn't understand why Baiquan changed so much at night and during the day.

"Just do it. Why are you telling me? Others are targeting the two of us. We are now grasshoppers on a rope. I'm still afraid that you will harm me?"

"Ok."

Bai Quan nodded slightly and stood up as if he was ready to leave.

But after he turned his head, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Judging from Chen Ming's current performance, he has indeed been given a lot of trust, and joining the Fourteenth Army should be a certainty.

Then he just needs to do what needs to be done.

However, Chen Ming was still confused when he saw Bai Quan getting up and leaving.

He still didn't understand what Bai Quan meant by some of the words he just said.

Chen Ming could tell that Bai Quan had other ideas besides giving away things today, but Chen Ming didn't see what he wanted to do specifically.

But it shouldn't be a bad thing anyway.

Just like what he said just now, he and Bai Quan are now grasshoppers on a rope.

He just needs to keep doing his own thing.

Do research and find ways to make some extra money during the war.

Then if you have the chance, find a way to kill the left path.

If we can investigate who allowed Zuo Jing to do what he did, we will find a way to kill him.

Chen Ming was really disgusted by what Zuo Jing did during the day. This was a behavior that truly exceeded his bottom line. He had to take care of this matter himself.

Just when Chen Ming lowered his head and was about to sort out the things Bai Quan had brought over and write them down to continue doing other things.

Bai Quan suddenly stopped at the door of Chen Ming's office. He turned back and said to Chen Ming: "I receive a report every day that someone specially compiles for me. Do you need me to give you one every day?"

Chen Ming suddenly stopped moving his hands on several things on the table and asked, "Is this something I can see?"

"Correct."

Although Chen Ming still didn't understand why Bai Quan did this, he still said: "Then I want it."

"Okay, I will teach you as usual tomorrow and review the advantages and disadvantages of everyone's actions on the previous big battlefield."
