Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 364 Harvest Planning Death Torpedo
Everything that needs to be explained has been explained, and everything that needs to be handled has been handled.

Chen Ming's main consciousness returned to the expanding Yuhui Fleet.

Back to the highest point where he had always been accustomed to staying.

I said hello to Huihuang and Chaofan, and played with Xiaoshi for a while.

By the way, I used this short period of time to do some things in the Mechanical Clan’s star field.

After doing all this, Chen Ming lay directly on the bed, reduced the proportion of consciousness borne by the consciousness bodies in other places to the minimum, and closed his eyes.

Converging the consciousness in other places in this way can allow his consciousness to be relaxed as much as possible.

He really needs a rest.

Even though he has no body now, his consciousness still needs to rest after being busy for a long time.

Especially during the time when he was fighting against the mechanical race, his average rest time per day was no more than two hours.

Really need a long-awaited break.

Chen Ming cut off most of the ways to contact him, letting his consciousness enter a dormant, drowsy state.

Twenty-four hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Ming climbed up energetically.

The first thing to do after waking up is to count the harvest.

Chen Ming's purpose of participating in the war and conflicting with the mechanical race has always been very clear, which is to gain benefits in the war.

And the benefits he gained from defeating the mechanical race are also obvious.

If we look at it from a larger material perspective, the most beneficial thing he obtained this time was the complete colony of the Mechanical Clan's capital galaxy that he took away in the end.

Everything in this mechanical star field is contained in this colony, whether it is data or anything that a colony or any mechanical colony should have.

It pointed out to Chen Ming the future development direction of his mechanical clan.

The mechanical race is one of the basic sources of Chen Ming’s power system at this time.

That star map document also confirmed that the existence of the mechanical race was extremely powerful, and it would definitely not be wrong to cultivate one's own mechanical race.

Having such a colony would save the cost and time of countless trial and error.

The value is immeasurable.

Apart from this colony, the second most valuable thing is probably the Star Gate.

It was not just the star gate that Chen Ming had taken away in front of the Mechanical Clan some time ago, but also another star gate of the Mechanical Clan's capital galaxy that he had taken away yesterday when he was playing with Xiao Shi for a while before taking a break using the means he had left with the Mechanical Clan.

After all, star gates have to be used in pairs, so he will have to find a way to get another one.

When there is an opportunity, you must not miss it.

The value of the Star Gate lies beyond its own value.

It is also about opening up an efficient, fast connecting route capable of transporting large quantities of supplies between Chen Ming's mechanical galaxy on the border of the empire and the location where his pioneering fleet arrives.

This does not require a large consumption of his mental power like Chen Ming is doing now to transport supplies to the front line. It only requires a large consumption of energy.

For Chen Ming, who has a large amount of energy source provided by the Zerg, the need for energy is nothing.

Although there was quite a bit of noise when the star gate was activated.

It is not the movement visible to the naked eye, but the movement of space fluctuations on the scale of the universe.

By then, Chen Ming will have to deal with some of the issues on the empire's side.

But it won't be a big deal.

Chen Ming is no longer afraid of anyone or any force now.

Periodic large-scale transportation of materials is still very valuable to Chen Ming.

After all, although the scale of the pioneering fleet is expanding very slowly, it is still expanding. The transportation of supplies every day will take up a lot of his free time. It is very meaningful for Chen Ming to save this time and mental energy to do other things.

It just so happened that Chen Ming’s Zerg units also began to expand, and their efficiency was terrifying.

The expansion process of the Zerg is the process of devouring planets and developing planetary resources.

Under normal circumstances, the expansion of the Zerg will devour all the resources of the planet.

But at Chen Ming's request, the Queen Zerg took control of the situation, which means that a lot of resources will be collected when the Zerg expands.

Many of these resources will be provided to the pioneering fleet.

But there are also some resources that cannot be used by the pioneering fleet, or there are too many of them and nowhere to use them.

These resources can be concentrated at the temporary base that has been developed, sent back to the empire through the star gate, and then sold for a profit.

Although Chen Ming's abilities are already very strong, money is still very important to him so far.

It’s not the case that money is just a number.

Therefore, the Star Gate has multiple values ​​for Chen Ming.

The second valuable thing is the giant structure that Chen Ming took away together with the star gate from the mechanical clan.

The giant dock of the mechanical race.

Chen Ming had been thinking about this thing for a long time, and he took it away when the mechanical clan's defense force was exhausted.

Only with it can we have the capital to build battleships.

After the things of strategic value, the next most valuable things are the two complete motherships of the Mechanical Clan and the wreckage of seven damaged motherships.

Chen Ming had already thought of the uses of the two complete mechanical motherships.

One of them will be given to HR, the strongest individual Afterglow in combat that he currently has. It is the Afterglow core that Baiquan obtained on the battlefield where the Empire and the main force of the Afterglow were fighting.

After a period of adaptation, it will surely enable the mothership to play its due value.

Chen Ming planned to hand over the other mothership to the Queen of Insects.

After finishing the recent affairs with the mechanical clan, the Queen of Worms finally has some free time.

It can finally start eating various different things, such as the phase behemoth scales that Chen Ming had obtained some time ago, to obtain new genes.

Of course, the assimilation of battleships can also be carried out.

The day when the Queen successfully assimilates the battleship, that will be the day when the Zerg can mass-produce battleships.

When the Zerg can mass-produce battleships, then no one in the world... at least around the empire area, will be able to restrict them.

This won’t be a very distant thing.

As for the wreckage, it will become Chen Ming's experimental subjects in the process of mastering battleship-level technology.

Besides.

Chen Ming also has a destruction core that has become weakened after leaking some of its power.

The power of destruction is strong, but not the kind of power that Chen Ming needs.

He wanted to make himself stronger.

However, it is still possible to use the Destruction Core as a weapon.

The mothership driven by HR can continue to use the Destroyer as a weapon, but its power will be slightly weaker after it was used by Chen Ming and part of its power was dissipated.

As a battleship-level psychic weapon, even if it is weaker than before, it is still more powerful than any other main-class weapon of the same level.

It’s like the person who originally had first place suddenly dropped a dozen points, but was still more than a hundred points ahead of the second place.

Moreover, Chen Ming estimated that he would not encounter any situation that required the deployment of capital ships for a long time.

After destroying the core, it is even possible that he would feed it to An Wuping and become one of the powers of An Wuping's special prosthesis.

So the value of the Destruction Core is somewhat subjective.

There is no denying its value, but for him who does not need to fight often, or does not need to fight battles at the battleship level often, the value of using it is indeed not high.

Just leave it there for now.

In addition, Chen Ming had another thing in his hand with a similar situation.

It is the corpse of a phase behemoth patriarch who has stayed in the scarlet dimension for a long time and possesses powerful strength.

This thing gave Chen Ming a headache before, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The Zerg do not need to eat all of the Phase Beast's genes, just a little bit will be enough.

It is even possible that the queen insect can obtain all the genes by just eating the scales that Xiaoxiang shed on his own initiative. However, Chen Ming is worried that the queen insect will not get enough by eating only Xiaoxiang's scales, so he plans to feed the queen insect some extra flesh and blood tissue.

Although this is somewhat dangerous, it is still worth doing, and Chen Ming also has enough backup plans to prevent danger.

But this would at most mean eating a little of the patriarch's body.

There are still tens of thousands of meters of corpses lying there, and I don’t know how to deal with them.

But that was before.

Now, after Chen Ming combined this with another thing that was bothering him, he gradually came up with a somewhat crazy idea.

Chen Ming has been struggling with the issue of choosing his first battleship.

He wanted a powerful, perfect capital ship.

Then why not try it on the corpse of the Phase Beast Leader?
The corpse of this powerful creature was transformed into a war machine, transformed into a capital ship.

The patriarch himself possesses the same dimensional power as Chen Ming, and has a very good compatibility with Chen Ming.

Then, as long as he incorporated the other powers he possessed into the transformation process, wouldn't he be able to create a battleship that was truly perfect for him?
The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. He had already mastered the semi-biological and semi-mechanized transformation technology. After a period of study and expansion, there would be absolutely no problem in applying it here.

Of course, there is no rush to start this matter.

There are so many things to consider when building a capital ship.

It's not just the design of the ship itself, but also the difficulty of manufacturing main weapons, as well as many more technical issues.

The construction of a battleship is not something that can be done on a whim; it also requires the construction of matching megastructures.

Chen Mingling could master the use of the giant dock, but mastering it alone was definitely not enough for his ideas.

If you master the use of giant docks, you can use the docks to build ordinary battleships, but you can never use an ordinary giant dock to build a half-biological, half-mechanical battleship that even possesses dimensional powers.

These techniques require experience to accumulate.

Chen Ming wanted a perfect, or close to perfect, battleship. As the first battleship under his control, it had to be treated with the highest standards and could not be taken lightly.

So Chen Ming’s idea is not to rely solely on the skills he has mastered.

He has a lot of people he can find to help him develop a powerful battleship.

There is nothing wrong with cooperative research and development on a large project like a battleship.

Remove these external gains.

The rest was Chen Ming's own gains. He used the power of the Destruction Core and the catalysis of the Ship Spirit to integrate all his own strength, making his strength no longer independent, and the strength has changed significantly compared to before.

Although he lost all his resonating spirit stones and a spirit-eating soul.

But the Calamity Core formed by the integrated source of power can just offset these losses.

Compared with those external gains, the natural disaster core, the source of Chen Ming's power, is obviously more important.

These are probably the overall gains.

Although there is no larger scale, such as galaxies and planets, that can be directly attributed to his harvest.

But the things Chen Ming got have made the road ahead smooth for him.

Chen Ming finally looked back at his gains and confirmed the direction of his next course of action.

I'm going to reshape my body first.

Although a pure consciousness body is very convenient, he is still more accustomed to physical activities.

As soon as Chen Ming had this thought, his consciousness immediately came to the side of the Queen Insect.

After all, the Queen's position was very close to Chen Ming at this time. She was expanding her nest on a planet in the galaxy, which was a temporary base for development.

Chen Ming doesn't need to control any Zerg units to meet the Queen Zerg. He can come over with just a few movements.

Creating a new body is not too difficult. After all, the Queen of Insects has created so many prostheses that it has already memorized Chen Ming's genetic sequence.

But that alone is not enough.

Chen Ming's idea is to build a basic body based on human genes, and then let the Queen of Insects stuff some additional enhanced body parts that are more suitable for the human body into the body.

He still wants to be a human being, not a bug.

All organs are based on his own genes, and achieve some special effects by imitating the functions of Zerg organs.

In addition, Chen Ming also prepared some nanorobots for himself.

Just like the mechanical units, they rely on nanorobots to repair and maintain themselves.

At the same time, it can also improve his physical fitness to a certain extent.

This is also the technology that Chen Ming mastered after mastering more and more robots. He tried it on himself as an experiment before using it in other units in large quantities.

The toxic substances discharged by nanorobots can be processed uniformly using Zerg organs, rendering them harmless.

Not to mention reaching An Wuping's level of physical strength, at least he had to make sure his body wasn't killed by any random weapon.

Although he was no longer afraid of his body being killed, it would still be troublesome to rebuild it if death was too easy and casual.

It took more than ten minutes to prepare my body.

Chen Ming also planned to start from scratch today to implement his idea of ​​using the corpse of the Phase Beast Chief to build a new battleship.

But before starting this kind of work which requires a long time and a lot of investment.

Chen Ming remembered the last thing he had not dealt with yet.

remains.

It was because of the ruins that a full-scale conflict broke out between Chen Ming and the Mechanical Clan, which resulted in Chen Ming being forced to wipe out all the main forces of the Mechanical Clan.

The mechanical tribe will no longer have the energy to explore the ruins, and Chen Ming will not be idle and suddenly run off to cause trouble somewhere else when he is in a great advantage on the front battlefield.

So the ruins are still preserved to this day.

He should go and take a look, and not forget this place.

Chen Ming immediately dispatched several newly produced cruisers by the Queen of Zerg and jumped into the galaxy previously located by the Mechanical Clan.

This was a place that the Mechanical Clan did not develop immediately before, but only marked it.

But no threats were found during Chen Ming's initial investigation.

Now even when we come here in a cruiser, we don’t find any problems in the galaxy.

Of course, this does not affect Chen Ming's investigation of the remains of this shining civilization.

He didn't even need to let the several Zerg cruisers that were approaching land.

He simply ordered several cruisers to throw down some substances controlled by his psychic power.

These materials were allowed to penetrate deep into the ground, and based on the data of the ruins investigated by the Mechanical Clan, the location of the ruins was confirmed.

Then Chen Ming discovered that the remains of this brilliant civilization was a very modern laboratory.

Then there's nothing to say.

He teleported the Afterglow Core and brought the ruins under his control.

The first thing Chen Ming did was to take a look at the ruins, which were the defense facilities of the Shining Civilization Laboratory.

They are some independent mechanical guards who are not connected to the mechanical hive network, and their logical operating programs are locked and cannot be changed.

They are only responsible for guarding the interior of the laboratory.

But it seemed that they had guarded nothing. The entire laboratory was in a mess, with traces of Thorn Zerg activities everywhere.

I don’t know if it’s the contaminants from the mechanical race that are being pursued here.

In any case, Chen Ming did not see any corpses of the main species of the Shining Civilization.

The Zerg that invaded the laboratory were most likely destroyed in the end, and their bodies were thrown outside and turned into mud in a few years, leaving no clues.

In short, there are no survivors in the laboratory.

But there was one thing about this laboratory that Chen Ming found very strange.

In addition to the mechanical family, the laboratory's defense measures also include some independent nanorobots that are not installed on the mechanical family.

These nanorobots are not programmed to simply protect the laboratory, but have an independent command.

Destroy the Mechanoids.

Chen Ming didn't understand why this happened. He wondered if the programs of these nanorobots had broken down after so many years, or if there was some other reason.

He couldn't figure it out either.

But there are some valuable things in this laboratory, such as data on the objects studied by the laboratory and samples of something it has studied.

When he saw the name of the sample he got, Chen Ming suddenly felt that most of the gains he had obtained in this war were not even as valuable as it.

Because the thing that the Shining Civilization is researching is called [Resurrection Mechanical Fluid].

It is not a liquid that can revive the mechanical race, but an item that uses a cluster of nanomachines that appear to be liquid to revive the dead.

As long as there is a corpse, even if only a few cells are left, resurrection will definitely not be a problem.

Although it is not clear why such a thing would appear at the border of an area that is relatively different from the area currently occupied by the main star field of the Shining Civilization as currently believed by academics.

But he is indeed the crystallization of the technology of shining civilization.

To be honest, this thing doesn't mean much to Chen Ming.

He didn't know any important people who needed this thing, although it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep it, after all, who knows when birth, aging, sickness, death and accidents will come.

Others are not like him, who can survive after losing their bodies.

The value of keeping it is immeasurable.

And the value released might even drive the entire empire into madness.

Chen Ming quickly got a sample of the mechanical fluid.

He stared at the tank-like object in his hand, which had a mechanized structure and a transparent outer wall, and could see the mechanical fluid flowing inside.

Just by looking at its appearance, no one would have thought that this was something that could resurrect people.

Although Chen Ming is not sure whether this bottle of resurrection liquid is still effective and whether it can resurrect humans, but if there is no problem with Chen Ming's spiritual power, this thing will have such an effect.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming found it even more bizarre.

If this thing was developed by the Empire, it must have come from the Fanchao Research Institute.

It is impossible for it to come out of any ordinary-looking laboratory on the border.

But this is exactly what happened to the Shining Civilization.

It is extremely puzzling.

Maybe when Chen Ming has time to go to the Shining Civilization Research Institute, he can learn some information.

just now……

Before Chen Ming was about to put away the resurrection mechanical fluid, he suddenly remembered something his boss had said to him.

Some words about a guy the boss once knew whom the boss called "little crazy".

Chen Ming didn't know much about this little lunatic.

But when the boss talked about this little madman, his tone was full of nostalgia and regret, as if the person was dead.

With this resurrection mechanical fluid...

Chen Ming thought about it and made a decision.

A few minutes later.

The hardware store on the Pirate Station.

The boss picked his ears and asked Chen Ming, "What did you get?"

"Resurrection Mechanical Fluid. As long as there is a corpse, it can revive a person."

After being shocked, the boss returned to his usual self: "Oh, then why are you telling me this?"

"Because you mentioned someone called Crazy Little Man before."

The boss was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You actually still remember what I just said..."

"He..."

"I told you before that I like to find people to train everywhere. He is the last person I trained."

"He might be dead. At least when I found him, I only saw a little bit of burnt ashes."

"I don't know if that's him, but... we have to try, right?"

The boss suddenly sighed: "This is also what I didn't tell you before. This is one of the reasons why I left the prosperous star field of the empire."

"So how did he die?"

"I don't know if you've heard of this incident, which happened decades ago."

"Several Reaper torpedoes used by the frigates sank the capital ship."
