Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 327 Experiment
"..."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Ming was stunned.

He didn't quite see what had just happened.

However, his psychic powers still allowed him to sense exactly what had just happened.

To put it simply, the phase monster did not slow down when approaching Chen Ming's robot, and directly smashed his robot to pieces.

And through the substances controlled by Chen Ming's psychic energy that remained at the scene at this time, Chen Ming could also hear the cries in the deep sea full of question marks.

It seemed to be wondering why the thing that had just attracted it had dissipated.

It seemed not to notice Chen Ming's robot.

It's like a person is attracted by the sound of an ant, but when walking towards it, he doesn't notice the ant and directly steps on it to death.

Chen Ming's hypothesis might be that he was too far away to hear the specific source of the sound, and the phase monster in front of Chen Ming at this moment should not be able to clearly sense the position of Chen Ming's robot through the phase space.

Or maybe it was because the Phase Beast was actually interested in Chen Ming himself, but Chen Ming's real body was not here, so the Phase Beast could not sense it clearly.

This is probably the case.

In short, Chen Ming still had some difficulty in creating a new robot at a nearby location.

After hearing the Phase Beast's voice through this robot, the Phase Beast seemed to sense the existence of his robot again and flew towards Chen Ming's new robot.

However, the result is exactly the same as before.

The phase monster still didn't notice Chen Ming's robot and crashed into it without slowing down.

Chen Ming was somewhat unconvinced and wanted to build a robot directly on the phase beast.

However, although the space where the Phase Beast is located looks empty, the Phase Beast itself exists there and Chen Ming's robot cannot create it.

Moreover, there seemed to be some special position around the body of the Phase Beast, and Chen Ming's psychic power could not work inside it. He could only maintain a distance of about tens of meters to create new robots.

Chen Ming thought about it and chose to create it in the air above the phase beast.

After the manufacturing is completed, the robot will fall on the back of the phase beast, probably on its back.

However, just as Chen Ming's robot heard the Phase Beast's voice again, and the Phase Beast sensed Chen Ming again,

Perhaps it felt something foreign on its back or something, but it subconsciously flipped over and fluttered on the ground, crushing the robot into pieces again.

"..."

Chen Ming fell silent after listening to the confused voice of the Phase Beast after it once again lost its complete and clear perception of Chen Ming.

He could tell from the Phase Beast's voice that it was not absolutely aggressive, and that its anger and fear were not directed at him.

But they couldn't communicate or touch each other at this time.

There was absolutely no way to stop the Phase Beast from continuing to act stupidly.

Or let's just give up this place for the time being.

Chen Ming felt that he had to see if there was a chance to quickly get the phase ship from the Ship Research Institute and try to use the phase ship to enter the phase space to contact the phase beast.

If they were all in phase space, the Phase Beast might be able to clearly sense the location of his robot.

While the phase behemoth was still confused, Chen Ming quickly sped up his actions and drove the shuttle to the second mechanical colony that the behemoth had just left.

The mechanical armed forces here have been almost completely destroyed, and Chen Ming can easily control the entire colony.

And here, Chen Ming also found a new psychic mechanical creature that could destroy psychic energy.

It looks a little different from the second and third ones.

Chen Ming chose to send this destructive mechanical psychic creature away as well, and then conduct unified research on them later.

Soon, in the colony, most of the area was in ruins.

Chen Ming once again found the control center of the colony.

After borrowing some equipment from the mechanical clan, Chen Ming regretfully failed to find another mechanical psychic-biological transformation facility.

There was only one facility for the three colonies on the entire planet, and that one facility was badly damaged.

This gave Chen Ming a headache.

He had thought that the other two colonies would also have this facility.

If not, we would have to conduct experiments using the facility, of which only one-third is still operational.

Chen Ming was still somewhat unwilling to give up and attempted a final search using the metal liquid scattered in the only two remaining colonies on the planet.

The result, of course, was nothing.

Then let’s withdraw.

Before leaving, Chen Ming finally confirmed the position of the phase beast.

I found that after being confused just now, it went back to doing its own thing.

After turning back to ravage the ruins of the second colony, it headed for the location of the third colony.

However, Chen Ming had already used his psychic power to take away the intact third colony and all the mechanical individuals on it.

So judging from the location of the sound, the Phase Beast is most likely hovering over the original third colony.

Judging from the sound, it seemed to be confused and lost again.

However, after it carefully observed the original site where the third colony was moved, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in its voice.

Chen Ming wasn't quite sure, but it should be this kind of emotion.

Chen Ming finally tried to build a robot to contact the phase beast, but unfortunately the result was the same.

The Phase Monster excitedly went towards Chen Ming's robot, crushed it, and once again fell into a cycle of confusion.

so be it.

Chen Ming left some liquid metal on the planet and buried some of the queen worm's body tissue deep underground.

He also controlled the stardust level outside the orbit and visited all the planets in the galaxy, leaving behind a little bit of stuff on each one.

He then dismantled the Stardust and completely handed over the galaxy to the Legion.

At the same time, he also planned to return his main consciousness to his original body, as he still had a lot of things to study next.

However, Chen Ming didn't have time to do so.

His prosthesis at the legion headquarters suddenly received a call.

It's from Baiquan.

The headquarters' prosthesis was still leaving the headquarters on the shuttle.

Since there was nothing else to do, Chen Ming answered the phone.

Baiquan's voice sounded: "Um... isn't that a little too much?"

Chen Ming immediately realized that Bai Quan was referring to the fact that he had just run back and forth twice in the mechanical clan's information and took away a colony.

He responded somewhat innocently: "I feel fine. It's mainly because it would take too long for the Legion to come. The Phase Beasts have already torn down the colony several times."

"It's better for me to keep some of it now than to tear it down, right?"

"If the Legion needs anything, you can tell me, right?"

As for what the legion will need at that time, whether Chen Ming has it on hand is another matter.

"That's fine... We have to wait three days anyway. Let's see if we can do something when the Legion fleet arrives in three days."

Bai Quan just came over to ask, and it was indeed as Chen Ming said, before the Legion's fleet arrived, what happened in the galaxy basically had nothing to do with the Legion.

The legion will be qualified to make decisions only after the fleet arrives.

Communication ended.

Chen Ming glanced at the shuttle's autopilot system and found that the destination was correct: it was at the Ship Research Institute.

While the shuttle has not arrived yet, Chen Ming continues to switch his main consciousness to his original body.

He now has two things to do.

One is an experiment with mechanical psionic biotransformation equipment.

One is to study the situation of the mechanical psychic creatures of the mechanical race, especially the mechanical psychic creatures with destructive psychic power.

How do these mechanical psychic creatures use psychic energy? Why do they have psychic nerves in their bodies that shouldn't appear in living organisms?

These two things can actually be classified as one thing.

So Chen Ming simply conducted his research according to the order in which the mechanical psychic creatures appeared.

That is to say, we must first find out what can be produced with the one-third remaining mechanical psychic biological transformation facility.

Then, based on the results of his own experiments, he combined them to study the mechanical psychic creatures themselves.

At the highest point of the frontier base, the research area filled with various research facilities occupies the middle section of the ship at the highest point.

Although most of the space is occupied by research equipment, it is still no problem to squeeze a new device into the corner of the middle section of the spacecraft.

Chen Ming had already delivered the things.

And when he came here in person, looking like he was going to activate the equipment.

The extraordinary person who had been studying this area immediately asked him a bunch of questions.

It's probably about what exactly this device is and how it works.

Of course Chen Ming didn't know how this device worked.

And since Chaofan can ask this question, it definitely doesn't know the answer to this question.

This means that the technology of this thing is really ahead of that of the Empire and Yuhui by at least one era.

So Chen Ming did not give Chaofan an answer, but just let it watch the experiment he would do next.

The experiment of the mechanical psychic organism transformation facility is of course to transform psychic organisms.

Although it seems that ordinary creatures can be transformed instead of psychic creatures, you must use better ones if conditions permit.

Each Zerg unit produced by the Queen can use a certain degree of the Queen's psychic energy.

Just use insects to try to transform.

Then the next question is, which Zerg unit is most suitable?
There are many types of Zerg individuals.

From parasite eggs as small as spores to Titan worms over 30 meters in size charging at the front line of the battlefield, all can be selected.

However, the specific one to choose still depends on the maximum volume that the conversion equipment can fit into.

Although only one third of the mechanical psychic-biological transformation facility remained, the core area was not damaged too badly. It is still about thirty meters high and hemispherical.

The Titan worm might be able to fit in if they were squeezed a little, but Chen Ming would not take out the Titan worm for a dangerous experiment.

Try to choose a moderate body shape.

Chen Ming thought about it for a while.

The final choice was a Zerg individual about four meters in size, very similar to An Wuping after he entered the insect state.

Of course, this is a pure Zerg individual. It does not have the technology of An Wuping that combines Chen Ming's own psychic energy, the Queen's psychic energy and the source of chaos, nor does it have Chen Ming's genes. It is pure Zerg. Such an individual's comprehensive quality can be said to be the strongest among Zerg units, and it is a very good choice.

After filling the hole in the cabin roof with material similar to that of the cabin.

Chen Ming stuffed the bug into the open hatch.

Just after Chen Ming pressed the start button, the conversion facility suddenly prompted Chen Ming that there was a lack of available materials.

Some key materials and facilities are provided by themselves, but as the main materials for the mechanical psychic creatures, they need to be provided by Chen Ming.

If it is related to the mechanical family, Baiyun Steel is obviously the most suitable.

But Chen Ming chose another material.

The spiritual energy Baiyun steel produced by Yan Xiong has a purity of 100%.

After Chen Ming filled in the materials.

The hatch of the facility closed, and the insects that Chen Ming stuffed in were sent to the center of the cabin.

Chen Ming can also use his psychic power to sense everything that this Zerg encounters.

After an extremely rigorous scan, the facility suddenly released a large number of nanorobots that looked like iron sand, covering the Zerg units.

According to the scan results just now, they slowly transformed every cell and every bit of cuticle of the Zerg unit into mechanical structures.

Although the Zerg have no pain nerves, they can still feel the damage they feel.

At this moment, the feeling that this Zerg unit in the transformation facility transmitted to Chen Ming through the hive mind network did not contain any sense of pain.

The transformation does not cause any pain or damage to the organism.

Moreover, although the raw material Chen Ming used was 100% pure psychic white cloud steel, it did not seem to have any effect on the process. These nanorobots simply transformed biological cell tissues into machines made of psychic white cloud steel.

The entire operation process seemed to be normal, as if the loss of those external devices did not affect the basic functions of the conversion device.

However, the good times did not last long.

The conversion facility had just converted the Zerg individual's lower legs into steel when the operation suddenly stalled.

The nanorobots also paused for a moment.

Then it continued to run.

Chen Ming immediately paid 100% attention.

Because the equipment obviously malfunctioned but it was still running.

If the faulty equipment continues to operate, God knows what consequences will be caused.

Meanwhile, those nanorobots continue to transform biological cells into machines.

but.

What is different from what happened just now is that not all biological cells are transformed by nanorobots. The transformation process of these nanorobots after a malfunction occurs is intermittent.

The feet and calves that have been transformed are purely mechanical, but the thighs have become a mixture of biological tissue and metal.

The transformation process is running, but it is not complete.

And the incomplete result, that is.

While Chen Ming was observing, the transformation facility was still continuing to transform the bodies of the Zerg individuals, allowing their flesh and blood to be further mixed with the metal.

Moreover, these nanorobots fail to protect the transformation site during transformation.

Gray-green blood flowed, and the gray-white muscles seemed to be filled with countless sharp blades.

The Zerg individuals felt that their bodies were being harmed.

Moreover, the damage was extremely severe and terrifying.

Its body instinctively repaired its injuries and filled it with flesh and blood tissue transformed by the nanorobots.

However, the tissue it repairs will also be further transformed by nanorobots in the transformation facility.

The further injuries caused by this further transformation forced the Zerg individuals to increase their repair efforts.

This vicious cycle causes the entire insect to become swollen.

Sure enough, the damaged facilities still could not lead to the correct results.

The transformation process soon came to an end.

The hatch of the facility opened, revealing a monster that had grown to ten meters in size, half biological, half mechanical.

A bloated, slow monster that looks like it could die at any moment.

But after all, it is based on Zerg genes and is a Zerg individual created using the insect form that Chen Ming and the Queen of Zerg have studied for a long time as a template. It will not die in a short time.

It even crawled out of the cabin, leaving a large pool of gray-green blood on the ground, and greedily devoured the energy crystals that Chen Ming had prepared in advance.

Chen Ming watched silently and recorded silently.

Although its transformation process was not completed, it unexpectedly retained the characteristics of both the Zerg and the Mechanical race.

It can sustain its own life by devouring any object like the Zerg, but it also has the steel body of the Mechanical Clan.

Moreover, Chen Ming also discovered that the iron body on its body could be strengthened by the psychic power of the Queen Insect.

Even more, the Queen's psychic power can affect the nanorobots that exist in every normal mechanical body after the transformation process is completed.

Although the transformation process of the Zerg individual is only half completed, there are indeed nanorobots in its body that repair the damage to its mechanical parts.

These nanorobots can gain increased operational efficiency under the influence of the Queen's psychic energy.

What's even more outrageous is that these nanorobots can actually sustain themselves like the Zerg, not by relying on electricity, but by eating or directly absorbing nutrients from the bodies of Zerg individuals.

There is no barrier between biology, machinery and psychic power in it.

I don’t know if the Queen of Insects’ psychic power is like this, or if it became like this after being mixed with Chen Ming’s psychic power, or if it is the effect of that facility.

The only way to explain the current situation in a more scientific way is that after the transformation and explanation, the biological cells of individual Zerg individuals also exist in these mechanical components.

To explain it in a more psychic way, the psychic powers of Chen Ming and the Queen of Insects are just so outrageous.

In short, while this Zerg individual that has turned into a monster can call upon the Queen's psychic power, the Queen can still control it.

Chen Ming's psychic power has the same effect. He can also directly use psychic power to control, repair and transform the monster.

Whether it is the mechanical or biological part of it.

Even, using deep repair psychic energy.

Of course Chen Ming didn't do that.

He came here for testing, not to show off his psychic powers.

He wanted to see the results of a failed experiment and draw experience from the failure, rather than a failed result that suddenly disappeared and Chen Ming learned nothing from it.

However, although the experiment can be said to have failed, after all, what was created was indeed a useless monster.

But it can also be said to be a success.

Because Chen Ming could see the possibility of future development from this disabled monster.

It perfectly combines the advantages of mechanical and biological.

It can obtain benefits from both at the same time, but it itself is not very outstanding due to the damage of the facilities. Its value has been reflected.

Chen Ming had had this idea before, to combine machinery and biology, but there had never been a suitable opportunity to try and realize it.

Unexpectedly, this kind of facility was used to complete preliminary experiments and verify the feasibility.

He also found two inspirations from the failed results in front of him.

For example, there has been no progress in the Zerg biological buildings.

Although the technology for the larvae hatching pools developed by the queen insect has basically stabilized, it is not necessary for the queen insect to lay eggs personally for every larva.

However, the further research progress of the worker insect breeding room is far from ideal, not to mention the combat insect race.

Because there are many types of Zerg and their functions are complex, and different numbers are needed at different times, the number of breeding rooms required for an entire Zerg nest is an exaggerated number.

So progress is slow.

However, the research progress in the energy crystal worm breeding room is quite fast.

However, Chen Ming has already sold the energy crystallization technology to the legion. After that, he can make money just by relying on dividends without any output, and he doesn't need to do any work. This is very embarrassing.

However, Chen Mingxin's idea should be able to make up for the other insect breeding rooms.
Biological buildings are indeed not easy to make, but if we just talk about cultivating a certain type of biological building, the difficulty is different.

Chen Ming felt that he could first use machinery to create suitable facilities for breeding worker insects, and then let the queen insects transform them into biological buildings.

Since the Queen of Insects can transform a cruiser, then a small building should not be a problem at all.

This is something Chen Ming thinks the Queen of Insects can try.

As for the other idea that just popped into Chen Ming's mind, it was to implant various mechanical devices into the Zerg, such as prostheses, to enhance the Zerg's combat effectiveness.

But he just thought about it and had no intention of executing it.

Because, cost.

The Zerg themselves only need to eat to reproduce.

Installing mechanical equipment and prosthetics on these Zergs requires various investments and time.

This will greatly increase the cost of producing Zerg, and the Zerg will lose some of their advantages.

In addition, the Zerg itself is strong enough, and with the Queen's psychic power amplification, its strength is no less than that of some mechanical structures.

But if the Zerg turn into machines...

If the transformation is done using mechanical psychic-biological transformation equipment, perhaps psychic energy can be used to influence the mechanical part.

But if the prosthesis is directly implanted, it is not certain whether the psychic power will still be effective.

It is not certain whether the complete transformation from biological to mechanical through facilities will ultimately be effective.

So even though many metals are stronger than the Zerg's shells, they are even stronger than the Queen's reinforced body.

Chen Ming would not easily try to implant prostheses into the Zerg.

Chen Ming used these techniques most often on some elite Zerg guards that the Queen might need.

Or... used on the Zerg's top biological spacecraft.

No matter which one it is, this technology will definitely not be used for the time being.

And we have to wait until the Queen of Insects wakes up from evolution.

In short, let's continue to cultivate this half-mechanical, half-biological monster for two days to see if we can research some new things from it.

Chen Ming plans to call this half-mechanical, half-insect creature Sample Zero, and all subsequent research can start from it.

At the same time, Chen Ming also planned to continue using and testing this damaged psychic biological transformation facility and continue to put more Zerg into it.

See if we can breed a real mechanical Zerg when the equipment is damaged.

However, before starting the next step, Chen Ming still has a problem to solve.

Why doesn't this half-biological, half-mechanical sample No. 0 have a single [Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve]?
