Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 237 The attempt of the special operations unit

After Bai Quan left.

It's not too late yet.

Chen Ming took a few things sent by Bai Quan and returned to his usual resting place.

It's still an independent room in a corner on the second underground floor of the laboratory.

After locking the door, Chen Ming raised his left hand and looked at the carapace wristband.

The insect queen's consciousness then descended on the carapace bracer.

Several insect eggs were formed on the carapace wrist guards as before, and several flexible tentacles grew.

Chen Ming placed several medicine bottles that Bai Quan had sent previously in a row on the table in front of him, and asked the insect queen's tentacles to take out a pill of medicine each, and grind some powder to absorb it.

The Queen of Insects is a psychic creature with extremely strong survivability. Moreover, the prosthesis currently contains only a small part of the body tissue, so there is no problem in using these drugs.

The Genetic Retrospection option is now gray.

The insect queen responded vaguely to Chen Ming, then its tentacles surrounded the egg, and extended a smaller tentacle at the tip of the tentacles, directly piercing the egg.

But the Insect Queen's consciousness actually said that it had indeed extracted the genes of Aurora Wind Spirit.

Although these drugs are very good in Chen Ming's opinion.

We can only wait and see if there is a chance to get psychic plants with similar properties, the kind that can be developed sustainably, and maybe they can be mass-produced.

That is, they are not particularly directional materials, but a certain type of material with certain special properties.

The tiny tentacles were pulled out immediately, and the Aurora Wind Spirit's egg instantly returned to its original appearance, seemingly without any damage.

Speaking of which, Chen Ming suddenly remembered that in the past, someone he knew at the boss's side seemed to want to trade the fairy tree for Yan Xiong.

Because Chen Ming didn't have anything on hand that could be used as medicine.

It was Chen Ming who confirmed that this part of the insect queen's body had absorbed the drugs. Some relatively violent psychic fluctuations caused by the drugs appeared on several tentacles, and the insect queen had also analyzed the composition of the drugs.

Because some time ago, when Chen Ming's spiritual power advanced to the point where he could use deep repair, he had already re-corrected the insect queen's genes.

And there is a special place for these psychic materials from which medicines are made.

The egg of Aurora Wind Spirit.

As for other materials with mild psychic properties, as long as their properties are close to those of the fairy tree, they can also be used as materials for this medicine.

And Yan Xiong now also uses Chaofan as a source of materials for researching psychic metals.

Genes that are worthless and cannot be traced back have also been completely eliminated, so this function is of little use for the time being.

Chen Ming put away these medicines and planned to go back and find an opportunity to send these medicines out to the main body.

For example, several of the medicines given by Baiquan to aid meditation all require the extract of the fairy tree as the main ingredient.

All valuable genes have been mastered by the Queen of Insects, and there is no need for genetic backtracking.

Fortunately, we went through a series of difficult exchanges of consciousness.

Some of the ingredients in these medicines specifically for psychics can be synthesized using chemical substances, but most of them are natural psychic materials.

A dense array of new options instantly appeared on the panel.

These are the genes that the insect queen regained after being deeply repaired by Chen Ming's psychic energy, as well as the new genes that it acquired during its development on the planet where the mechanical city was located.

Chen Ming immediately opened the Insect Queen's panel and looked at the bottom line of the panel.

After storing all the medicines, Chen Ming looked at another thing.

Chen Ming simply clicked on the [Evolution] option.

[Executable operations: repair (deep repair)/evolution/decomposition/gene retrospection]

Chen Ming had seen this page before, and spent a lot of time studying the genes before attacking the mechanical colony planet.

He had to find a way to find out what these substances were from the insect queen who couldn't learn to speak.

Because the queen has eaten a few giant butterflies.

Aurora Wind Spirit, a giant butterfly that lives in the atmosphere and can produce and control aurora, also known as plasma, is the existence that Chen Ming has been looking for to provide top-quality genes for the insect queen.

So this leads to a problem, that is, Chen Ming cannot reproduce these drugs now.

Moreover, the insect queen is quite sensitive to any absorbed substances, so it only needs to absorb a little to help Chen Ming analyze the ingredients of these drugs.

Chen Ming placed the fist-sized and colorful insect eggs in his hand next to the tentacles on the wrist of his other hand, and asked the queen: "Should we eat some or all of them? Or do we need to hatch them and wait for them to form cocoons and become butterflies?"

Chen Ming thought about it and did not change it because he discovered that Yan Xiong could mass-produce metals with certain psychic properties.

But he has no materials now, so the insect queen cannot create substances with similar properties.

Chen Ming still wrote down the different materials used in these different medicines at the end of the list of medicines given by Bai Quan.

Some of the drugs that stimulate mental power for a short period of time can be kept, while other drugs that assist mental power training can be given to the Queen of Insects or given to Xiao Shi.

Chen Ming once drank tea brewed from fairy leaves. Its psychic energy fluctuations were very mild and could be used as the main ingredient for this type of medicine.

Therefore, the materials of the medicines used by psychics are not fixed. It is mainly the properties of the psychic materials that determine what medicines can be made, rather than the materials themselves.

So now he didn't look much, but directly looked for the newly acquired genes after the insect queen obtained the genes of Aurora Wind Spirit.

Therefore, after absorbing the genes of Aurora Fengling, the insect queen now has a small number of extra genes. After a little screening, Chen Ming found those unique genes that belong to the name of Aurora Fengling.

[Plasma Storage Chamber], [Plasma Magnetic Induction Unit Cell], [Strong Magnetic Field Control Brain Matter], [Plasma Isolation Scales] and [Plasma Isolation Membrane].

Chen Ming took a rough look and then switched his perspective to an ordinary insect on the insect queen's side.

The insect queen has actually created a new creature with these unique abilities after acquiring the genes.

Since it was purely for testing, the thing the insect queen created now seemed to be just a piece of meat about ten meters in diameter that simply had the ability to generate and control plasma.

After Chen Ming helped send a destroyer-level Afterglow spacecraft that had been damaged during recent external exploration and had not yet had time to repair.

The piece of meat with the aurora spirit created plasma on the spacecraft that exuded the magnificent colors of the aurora.

The already damaged spacecraft system could not withstand the continuous plasma attack, and the shield quickly collapsed in contact with the plasma in just ten seconds.

The armor's subsequent contact with the plasma took a little longer, but it was also penetrated within a minute, allowing the plasma to damage the inner hull.

After all, it is a technology that can be used by Yu Hui on the Brilliant Level. Even if it is just a plasma produced by a living creature, it goes without saying that it is powerful.

While the spacecraft was being destroyed, the area around where the spacecraft was docked was also being continuously destroyed by plasma.

An area emitting high heat and auroral-like colors gradually formed around the spacecraft.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the unique sight of this area faded away.

There's a lot of plasma that's reacting with spacecraft and other things and dying out.

But more plasma was absorbed into the body by the power of the magnetic field controlled by the meat pieces created by the Queen of Worms, and was stored in a cavity dedicated to storing plasma.

This kind of plasma, which can destroy spacecraft, has almost dominant destructive power if used on biological and ground combat units.

At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly thought of something, something he had wanted to do before.

Create a powerful special combat individual belonging to the Zerg tribe similar to the Purgatory Demon King of the Machine Tribe.

Chen Ming has been trying before, but the existing genes of the insect queen are difficult to have enough power to match the purgatory core.

And from the current genes of Aurora Fengling, he saw the hope of creating special combat individuals.

Plasma and plasma are good weapons in space, but on the ground they crush the same ground units.

If this dangerous substance can be controlled at will, then it should not be impossible to catch up with the core of purgatory.

Maybe it will work.

And it just so happened that Chen Ming had another very interesting idea, one that might be useful in the near future. He had to try it.

It's this time that's a little tight again.

It definitely takes a lot of time to research this kind of stuff.

Some time ago, Chen Ming had insufficient time on his body, so he could only arrange a tight schedule to do things.

It wasn't until I had a prosthesis that took over some of the tasks that I got a little better.

As a result, just a short while later, there were several new tasks that took a long time to complete on my head.

You must know that the brilliant side has completed its second jump and has begun to establish a second transfer point.

There are a lot of things here that need his body's help to deal with.

The main body is busy enough.

As for the prosthesis, in addition to learning command techniques during the day, I also have to do research at night, which is just as busy as hell.

If you add a new task to your head, the pressure will be quite high.

But after carefully thinking about the benefits of this research to himself, Chen Ming decided to honestly find time to arrange this matter into his daily tasks.

He had to get a Zerg special combat unit out.

Such a special combat unit must meet at least three requirements.

Survive, move and fight.

The requirements for ensuring the survival of special operations units are simple, but not simple.

Because plasma, as a group of charged particles with extremely strong destructive capabilities, not only has great damage to the enemy, but also to itself.

Therefore, special operations units must have the survivability to survive plasma.

And the special operations unit doesn't just need to use Aurora Wind Spirit's genes directly.

Although the Aurora Wind Spirit itself possesses the ability that Chen Ming needs, the character of this species is very gentle, and its scales and protective film are only used to prevent plasma damage from affecting itself.

This protective method has almost no effect on any other attacks, and slightly sharper stone spears may directly pierce their bodies.

Of course, the premise is that it can be stabbed, and the stone spear will not be annihilated by the plasma surrounding Aurora Wind Spirit.

In short, on the planet where the Aurora Wind Spirit is located, the adult Aurora Wind Spirit living in the atmosphere has no natural enemies at all. Even after entering the breeding season, when the Aurora Wind Spirits returned to the ground, no creature dared to approach them with the plasma.

Only in the egg and larvae stages can native creatures kill the Aurora Wind Spirit.

But there is really no threat to the adult body from any living thing.

Without natural enemies, there is naturally no need to evolve more combat capabilities.

Aurora Wind Spirit's active fighting ability and adaptability to dangerous environments are not strong, which makes it impossible for Chen Ming to directly let the insect queen fight with insects that only have the Aurora Wind Spirit gene.

Even the outermost layer of Aurora Wind Spirit's scales or protective film won't do. The fragile scales can easily be shattered on the battlefield. Once the scales are damaged, the bug may even be burned to death by its own plasma.

Moreover, Chen Ming also has other manufacturing requirements for this special combat unit Zerg.

That is, this kind of bug must rely on the most basic body, without the influence of any external factors, to be able to directly bear the damage caused by plasma.

Because the Zerg in Chen Ming's hands not only rely on their physical existence, they can also rely on the spiritual energy of the queen.

The Insect Queen's psychic powers are purely about enhancing physical fitness and physical strength.

In the period from becoming a psychic creature to today, the Queen's psychic abilities have also improved significantly.

Under the premise that the insect queen uses psychic powers, its body can even directly resist the damage caused by plasma.

Even if Chen Minglai uses the psychic power of the Insect Queen, when he faces some ordinary swords and small-caliber bullets, he can guarantee that he will not be harmed at all by purely relying on the strength of human tissue and the amplification of the Insect Queen's psychic energy.

Even if you face some large-caliber weapons directly, you will receive some skin injuries at most, of course, spaceship-level weapons will not count.

So that's how powerful the Queen's psychic powers are right now.

Although it hasn't been too long since the Queen of Insects became a psychic creature, the Queen's psychic abilities are not slow to increase.

Even though it does not have the amplifying effect of the additional objects stated above, it still has a hive mind and the consciousness of a huge number of Zerg units that can feed back to the Zerg Queen.

The hive mind of the Zerg can provide Chen Ming with additional mental power, so of course they are also providing this kind of treatment to the main consciousness of the Zerg Hive, the Queen.

It was precisely for this reason that Chen Ming had previously considered getting some medicine for the queen.

Although the medicine is no longer available.

But the strength of the insect queen itself will not be reduced, and Chen Ming does not have other means to strengthen the insect queen.

For Chen Ming now, even if one condensed spiritual energy source is separated, it is not a big problem. One condensed spiritual energy source has the same nature as two condensed spiritual energy sources, and the intensity of the spiritual energy fluctuations provided to the environment is also the same.

There is no way to get water that is 100 degrees from water that is twice fifty degrees.

Therefore, assigning a condensed spiritual energy source to the insect queen and letting it absorb the high-concentration spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the condensed spiritual energy source will definitely improve it faster.

Try to let Chen Ming personally resist plasma as soon as possible when using the psychic power of the Insect Queen.

In short, it is because of the existence of the insect queen's spiritual energy that Chen Ming wants to create a special Zerg combat unit with the ability to directly resist plasma with its physical body.

The more powerful the body, the more powerful it will be when it receives the increase in the psychic energy of the Insect Queen.

At the same time, it also prevents the situation where the queen's mental power is exhausted one day, and then the special operations unit is burned to death by herself.

But no matter what, it is absolutely impossible to resist plasma with a jet black carapace.

Now Chen Ming can only use two different genes to mix the insect queen to create a new shell.

The difficulty of directly using genes to create related organisms is not at the same level as the difficulty of combining two different strings of genes to create a string of genes that can express traits normally and meet the requirements.

This is the next place where Chen Ming will definitely spend the most time.

But after Chen Ming assigned the task to the insect queen.

Chen Ming suddenly discovered a problem.

It's just that the deep repair ability on the panel seems to have some special conditions that he hasn't discovered before.

Chen Ming's in-depth maintenance ability is to optimize a whole to the most suitable level for its essential work.

After in-depth maintenance once, there is no way to perform in-depth maintenance again. After all, the things that have been repaired after in-depth maintenance are already the most suitable existence.

However, Chen Ming discovered at this time that the Insect Queen can perform deep repairs again. The restriction that his deep repairs can only be used once is not absolute. Things that have been deeply repaired can also be deeply repaired again.

And the prerequisite for doing this...

Chen Ming studied it roughly and figured it out.

As long as something has been deeply repaired, there have been some overall changes.

For example, if a refrigerator is repaired in depth by Chen Ming, it can become a useful refrigerator.

Then he had the ability to replace the refrigeration equipment of the refrigerator with a heating equipment, turning the refrigerator into an oven.

If in-depth maintenance is carried out at this time, the entire refrigerator will become an oven.

Of course, such extreme changes are not actually needed. As long as part of the structure changes, Chen Ming can optimize the changed things to the appropriate level.

For example, the insect queen only undergoes some genetic changes after absorbing some organisms, and the insect queen can undergo another deep repair.

Another example is the product of the fusion of the chaotic Aurora Wind Spirit gene and the Zerg black carapace gene created by the Queen of Insects.

Even Chen Ming didn't need Aurora Wind Spirit's scales and protective film genes.

Because the optimization effect of deep maintenance is like a barrel with one long board and many short boards.

It does not use strong points to compensate for weak points, but directly uses Chen Ming's excessive consumption of mental power to make his weak points grow into his strong points.

Therefore, in order to adapt to the existence of plasma

Chen Ming felt that his psychic power should be able to deeply repair the original carapace of the Zerg and the mucous membrane inside the mouthparts that are easily exposed to the outside world to the point where they can directly resist plasma.

And this new carapace that has been deeply repaired will definitely be recorded by the Zerg queen and passed down like the Zerg gadgets that Chen Ming used to use his psychic powers to create.

Chen Ming's thoughts on the survivability of special operations units are basically clear at this point.

And also completely transmitted this idea to the Insect Queen.

More than an hour later, Chen Ming was about to go to bed.

Good news came from the Insect Queen.

It has created a gene that possesses the Aurora Wind Spirit's ability to control plasma-related body tissues, and injected it into a gene that has not been perfectly sorted out and just violently mixed the plasma protection gene with the Zerg's carapace gene. A twisted mass of genes,
This completely immobile mass of flesh was covered with various sharp growths and abrupt scale wings of different sizes, and it also secreted a disgusting purple viscous body fluid.

This is the result that the insect queen barely completed after dozens of failures.

The existence of chaos genes means that the insect queen can only do this now.

But at least it is alive, and the meat's nerves also restrict the meat's instinct to use the organs that create plasma, so that it will not burn itself to death as soon as it is created.

Let Chen Ming have time to use his psychic powers.

It just so happens that it's almost time to take a break.

Chen Ming simply washed up, lay on his bed, and closed his eyes.

Then he used deep repair power on the lump of meat.

Chen Ming fell into a coma amid a severe headache that Chen Ming had not experienced for quite some time.

And the pieces of meat affected by his spiritual energy are gradually evolving in the direction of normal creatures under the influence of spiritual energy.

After dawn.

Chen Ming got up energetically.

The first thing I looked at was behind the eyeworm.

However, something unexpected happened to him. The lump of meat still looked like a lump of meat, and there was no change to the naked eye.

"what's the situation?"

The insect queen immediately transmitted the content of a memory to Chen Ming.

Just last night, after Chen Ming used his psychic energy to pass out, his psychic energy did act on this ugly piece of flesh.

But his psychic energy gradually disappeared after working for a certain period of time.

It was not because of any interference, but simply because the mental power to support the spiritual fluctuations was insufficient and it disappeared.

This means that Chen Ming's mental power is not enough to transform this lump of meat into what it should be in one go.

The long-lost pain in his brain last night was still vivid in his mind, and the trouble caused by genetic chaos was far more complicated than Chen Ming had seen.

And there should be some Aurora Wind Spirit genes in this, after all, Chen Ming had never had such trouble doing in-depth repairs to the Insect Queen before.

It seems that he needs at least one more in-depth repair, otherwise the mental energy consumed previously will be in vain.

To be honest, the mental energy consumed by using psychic energy this time was a bit more than Chen Ming imagined.

But since the consumption of spiritual energy is so huge, it means that if his attempt is successful, the effect will be absolutely unimaginable.

Chen Ming felt impatient, but time would not speed up just because he wanted to.

In-depth repairs still have to be done at night.

Chen Ming could only praise the Insect Queen now, broke off communication with the Insect Queen, and turned his attention to the terminal.
There is a document on the terminal, which Bai Quan sent more than an hour ago.

Chen Ming took a look and found that this was the report Bai Quan said last night that he would read every day.

The content includes but is not limited to the current affairs news within the Fourteenth Army. It can be said that the important news of the entire star field is condensed in this report, which is of great help in understanding the information from the outside world.

The bulk of today's report mainly talks about the gambling agreement signed between Chen Baiquan and Lou Wei, as well as yesterday's news that Zuojiao infiltrated the branch of the 14th Army.

Just when Chen Ming was looking at more detailed content.

Bai Quan suddenly opened the door and walked in. Seeing Chen Ming holding the terminal, he instantly understood what Chen Ming was doing.

"How's it going?"

"It's quite detailed. Basically, I know all the news. But I think there seems to be a lot of false news that is harmful to you, so you just don't care about it?"

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. We will continue class today."
