Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 388 Leaked
Not long after Chen Ming left the satellite, he received another message from the afterglow core of the Gaia satellite.

Still the same group, still a new application.

The leader of that group applied to install several more layers of magnetic levitation vacuum partitions in the ground connection part, and then wanted to isolate a separate space inside the dome to create a partition area.

Chen Ming readily agreed and turned around to continue doing his own thing.

He had just taken off at this time and had not yet had time to leave the planet's gravitational orbit and was still within the Origin Galaxy.

Well, now that he has returned from Fan Chao, he might as well go to the StarEater Space Station next to a star in the galaxy.

There have been some signs of research on weapons against the New Leviathan, so he must also pay attention to the Star Devourer project that can help ships enter the interior of stars.

Just looking at those brief reports every day is not enough to fully understand the current project progress, so I still have to go there in person.

The StarEater itself has many projects worth studying, and there will certainly be project teams that want to use the technology obtained from the StarEater in combat.

And under the entire combat project team, there will be different combat teams such as surface, ocean, space, etc.

Under these combat research groups, there are several smaller groups of different types and tendencies, and the personnel composition is quite complex.

The same situation applies to the project team on the Nightmare Space Station.

Although it looks troublesome, it is also troublesome to manage.

But that’s where the benefits end.

When Chen Ming needs something, he can quickly find the right person to do the right thing, and he doesn't have to worry about everything.

Of course he still had to be careful not to make a big fuss.

He just came to confirm the progress of the technology he needed, not to interfere with other people's research.

So after Chen Ming's spaceship was launched, it did not wander around, but flew straight to the Astrophotactile Space Station. After getting off the ship, he immediately went to the project team that was researching the Astrophotactile armor of space ships, which was what he needed most.

Chen Ming's arrival attracted a little attention.

However, he acted quickly and immediately left the public view with the project team leader and went to the team leader's office.

When the team leader learned that Chen Ming wanted to know about the status of the project, a smile appeared on his face, and he told Chen Ming that they had made a breakthrough yesterday.

The star-eating armor studied by their project team is currently named artificial star-eating armor.

Installed outside the armor and between the armor and the hull, it doesn't need to be too thick. It just needs to be able to isolate the heat of the star, so that the warship can enter the star after installing the Star Devourer armor.

As for the breakthrough he mentioned, it mainly means that the testing of theoretical data has been fully completed.

All that remains is to manufacture the actual finished product and test it.

In the normal research process, the perfection of the theory does not mean that it is almost done. In fact, only when the theory is perfected can the subsequent practical testing begin, and there is still a lot of work waiting.

But Chen Ming still left there very satisfied.

Because when the theory of a technology has been successful, he can use his own psychic power to create products of such technology and directly conduct subsequent tests.

Even from the data, not all stars can currently move in and out stably.

After all, there are many types of stars, and different stars have different internal temperatures.

But not to mention the hottest A and B type stars, at least the stars of the following levels will have absolutely no problem entering and exiting freely after the ship is equipped with the Star-Eating Body Armor. As long as they are not penetrated directly from the outermost layer of armor all the way to the hull, the armor can continue to function.

As for the star-devouring armor of stars with higher protection strength, it is just a matter of psychic optimization.

The armor technology is already fine.

The only thing left was the weapons he and Fan Chao had cooperated on to target the Jellyfish Leviathan.

Chen Ming did not stay in his own territory for too long. After a brief chat with the heads of several important projects, he returned to Fan Chao and continued his previous work.

And a few days passed again.

Just like the previous two months, the Empire asked Chen Ming what technology he needed in each galaxy before starting the transaction with the survivors.

The Empire can let Chen Ming choose the technology he needs, and they will organize the technology for trading with the survivors.

But Chen Ming refused.

He didn't want to have anything to do with the survivors.

Because he was increasingly feeling that there were definitely big problems with this group of survivors.

Some time ago, they were able to discover the existence of the Star Devourer, knew that he had fought with the Star Devourer, and took the initiative to sell him that they knew the Star Devourer's weaknesses.

This means that they will definitely be able to discover the conflict between him and the three-colored Leviathan later.

After all, the distance between the galaxy where the Devourer exists and the galaxy where the three-color Leviathan finally stayed is not too far.

This is definitely not difficult given the technology of the Survivors and the Shining Civilization.

But the survivors did not contact us at that time.

Chen Ming had waited for several hours not only for Leviathan to appear, but also for a call from the survivor.

However, it does not.

The possible hidden situation in this really made Chen Ming very worried.

Of course, it is also possible that after he rejected the survivors last time, the survivors are not going to try their best this time.

But during the transactions conducted by the survivors, Chen Ming clearly felt that the survivors were very concerned about matters related to the empire and him.

He had lost the battle with Leviathan, and there was no follow-up, which should be of great interest to the survivors.

But there are still no survivors.

So Chen Ming just kept paying attention to the survivors, but definitely had nothing to do with them.

As long as he can find any flaw of the survivors, he will pounce on them immediately and kill them completely.

He is currently still monitoring the three-color star and the Leviathan inside the three-color star, while developing new weapons against Leviathan at the Fanchao Research Institute.

With his help, the progress of weapons research and development can be said to be very fast.

At present, several new targeted weapons have been developed and are ready for practical use.

Chen Ming also felt that it was about right.

Anyway, once a technology has no theoretical problems, the remaining large-scale installation is his own business.

He was ready to face Leviathan.

After thinking about it, he decided to solve the first one among the red M-type stars with the lowest stellar temperature.

It is also the Leviathan that is finally brought out by the Blue Jellyfish Leviathan.

Chen Ming had already prepared the fleet and weapons in advance.

But just as he was about to leave.

He received an urgent notification from the afterglow core of the Gaia satellite.

Negative substances are leaking.

"At this very moment."

Without any hesitation, Chen Ming immediately used his psychic power to reach the sky above the dome he had specially set up on the satellite.

When he just arrived, a heavy atmosphere that he had never felt before was shrouding the dome, giving Chen Ming some psychological pressure.

Although at first glance there was nothing wrong with the dome.

But from his psychic perception, the vacuum isolation layer at the bottom of the dome had been damaged.

A large amount of negative matter will infiltrate into the satellite through this gap.

The area that is expected to be affected is at least one-third the size of a satellite.

This was not just something Chen Ming said casually, but he really felt this way.

He had already had a cognitive concept of negative matter and had actually come into contact with a large amount of negative matter.

The moment he arrived here, he truly felt the existence of negative matter that he had been completely unable to touch before.

He could feel that everything that was fused with negative matter and controlled by him was so heavy at this moment.

Although it only takes a while to get used to this feeling of heaviness and it will no longer be a heaviness, only God knows whether this situation is good or bad.

Chen Ming glanced around the dome from the sky, and all the members of the project team had appeared outside the dome.

Nothing happened to them.

This may be considered good news, no matter what the specific cause of the leak was...

Chen Ming activated his psychic power again and appeared in the laboratory inside the dome.

And quickly came to the place where the problem first occurred in the vacuum isolation layer at the bottom of the dome.

This is the area where the corpses of the Nightmare Planes are stored.

It is closely protected by various isolation and security facilities.

Even though we were protected like this, problems still occurred.

Was this an accident... or was it man-made?
With doubt, Chen Ming once again used his psychic power to sense the condition of the facility he had built personally.

After entering this facility that was now completely infiltrated by negative matter, Chen Ming felt the heaviness of this area becoming more and more severe, and he could also perceive the path of the negative matter leakage more clearly.

Although this made him feel uncomfortable, it also allowed him to quickly perceive what was happening.

After some inspection, Chen Ming came to a conclusion.

The cause of the accident was that too many safety devices were installed on the storage facility, causing all the negative matter to be accumulated inside.

The density of negative matter accumulation was too great, and eventually the equipment was overwhelmed and leaked.

Chen Ming once again pulled up the list of project team members and looked at the information of each of them in detail.

There is nothing wrong with the information and everyone's identity is clean.

He sighed slightly.

It seems that this is the only way this matter can happen. It can be considered man-made, but also an accident.

There was no way he could pursue anything.

So after using psychic power to repair the damage to the facility, Chen Ming removed some of the safety devices installed outside the equipment that stored negative matter.

In addition, a new diversion device for negative matter has been built, which can store some negative matter separately. After the device for detecting negative matter confirms that the density of negative matter exceeds a certain limit, all the negative matter in this diversion device will be sent to the Nightmare Space Station of the Plane.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about this little bit of negative matter over there.

After doing this and confirming that the condition of the laboratory has returned to normal.

Chen Ming turned his head and took a look at the research equipment in the central area of ​​the laboratory that was still running. A large amount of data was jumping on it and was automatically recorded by the computer.

Chen Ming feels that this is no longer a question of how much valuable data can be recorded, but whether there are enough people to study these valuable data.

Moreover, the negative matter has already completely diffused out.

In just a few tens of seconds since he arrived, the planet had already absorbed a large amount of accumulated negative matter.

Although this made him feel like the entire planet had an extra sense of weight, in a sense it was not a purely bad thing.

Because he could indeed feel that the entire planet was stabilized in space by some force, but there were still many places on the planet that had not yet been contaminated by negative matter and were still in an unstable state.

This unique structure is of great research value.

This situation almost allows a small project team that was originally just extended from the Nightmare of the Plane to have the possibility of competing with the Corpse Project Team of the Nightmare of the Plane.

But we have to wait for two days to see. Chen Ming needs to analyze the condition of the planet specifically later.

See if this is possible and whether it is too dangerous.

It was impossible for Chen Ming to blame the project team for what happened today.

Negative matter itself is somewhat dangerous, so there is definitely nothing wrong with adding more safety facilities.

Even if the team does not install new security facilities, the facilities may leak after the density of negative matter slowly accumulates, it will just be a few days later.

After all, the ground is not like space. Although there is an entire plane of nightmare corpses in space that continuously emit negative matter, space does not have the dual limitations of a small space and a vacuum environment like on the ground.

Chen Ming couldn't stop them from doing this, right?
So in the end, Chen Ming had no choice but to deal with today's affairs and go outside the dome to talk to the team leader.

It can be seen that the team leader was also very nervous and scared. He seemed to have never expected that negative material leakage would occur, and he even stuttered when talking to Chen Ming.

The team leader repeatedly assured him that he would not do any extra work in the future.

Chen Ming just let him continue doing what he was doing.

After all, he had been on the space station close to the corpse of the Plane Nightmare for so long, so it was no big deal for him to continue working on a planet that had just been fused with negative matter.

He also agreed decisively.

After Chen Ming left, the team leader returned to the team members.

The team member who knew that the team leader wanted to install additional safety equipment immediately said to the team leader: "Don't do anything unnecessary."

"I know."

A trace of confusion suddenly flashed across the team leader's nervous eyes, but he quickly stood still calmly.

For a moment, his expression was completely devoid of the nervousness and anxiety he had when Chen Ming pulled him out for a talk when the incident happened before.

The team member in front of him seemed to have noticed this as well. He was about to say something when he realized that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the team leader. It seemed that he had just seen it wrong.

The team leader did not talk much with the team members, but just turned his head to look at the dome. All he saw was the body fragments of the Plane Nightmare that had been placed back in the new dome.

Chen Ming, who had just left, observed the conditions of the team members from a distance through the dome's surveillance for a while.

After not finding any problems, I decided to put the accident that had just happened aside for the time being.

Chen Ming turned around.

I still plan to continue to cause trouble for Leviathan.

The previous episode did not affect his thoughts, and even made him more eager to deal with Leviathan as soon as possible.

He can face trouble, but he doesn't want to face multiple troubles inside and outside at the same time.

No matter how uncertain the internal problems would be, the most important thing for him to do was to solve Leviathan, which clearly had subsequent impacts.

The reorganized Zerg fleet led by Chen Ming soon appeared inside the M-type star system.

The radiation level within the galaxy is several times higher than when Leviathan first appeared.

Apparently Leviathan is hiding in the stars not because of his intimidation, but because they are doing something special.

Chen Ming stopped wasting time.

A Hercules-class ship equipped with new weapons is heading straight for the stars.

The spacecraft penetrated the surface material of the star.

Under the protection of the Stareater armor, the Zerg warships successfully entered the interior of the star.

The ship's biosensors could see almost nothing but a blood-red color inside the M-type star.

Fortunately, the volume of this M-type star is not very large. After some searching, Chen Ming still scanned the traces of Leviathan inside the star.

At this time, the red jellyfish-shaped Leviathan was still fighting against the star.

The situation remains the same as before, the same frequency spectrum allows the star to absorb Leviathan matter.

Especially among the stars, Leviathan's body has been missing matter.

But correspondingly, the red jellyfish Leviathan is also absorbing the star's matter at this time.

And, unlike when it left the star, when the jellyfish Leviathan is inside the star, it absorbs stellar matter more efficiently than the star absorbs it.

After staying in the star for a period of time, the Leviathan became more active than before, which is why Chen Ming discovered that the radiation in the galaxy was stronger than before.

This scene made it hard for Chen Ming not to wonder whether the Jellyfish Leviathan and the Planet Eater were related.

Of course, this is just Chen Ming's random thought. In fact, the way that the Astrophotium absorbs stellar matter is completely different from that of the jellyfish Leviathan, and there is no close connection between them.

After discovering Leviathan, Chen Ming immediately prepared the Zerg fleet.

However, after a quick look, he discovered that all of the weapon systems of the Zerg battleships that entered the star were indeed unable to be used within the star, as expected.

Otherwise, the weapons will inevitably be destroyed and may not even be able to have any effect.

So Chen Ming still followed the previously planned plan and directly controlled the warship to rush towards Leviathan.

But unlike the previous battle with Leviathan, this time the warship did not slow down when entering the range, nor did it convert the warship's organs and tissues into energy crystals.

It simply crashed into the body of the red Leviathan.

The effect is very obvious.

It was obvious that after the impact of this blow, a huge piece of damage appeared on the outermost layer of the Zerg warship's Starphagnum armor, and the internal armor that was a fusion of biomass and metal also showed obvious damage.

But this is nothing. A battleship is nothing. The key lies in the situation of Leviathan.

The body of the red Leviathan was indeed dented by the impact of the Zerg warship, and there was even a large scratch on it.

But just like the damage caused to it by Chen Ming's fleet firing live ammunition, these injuries recovered almost instantly.

The collision actually had no effect.

Even the Zerg fleet that crashed into it was severely burned by an electromagnetic pulse that could be easily detected on the surface of a star the next moment.

At such close distance, it didn't even have time to self-destruct before being completely burned.

As the star-eating armor on the spacecraft was destroyed, the entire battleship quickly melted in the scorching heat of the star.

The Red Leviathan did not take any further action and had no intention of leaving the star to destroy the other warships that Chen Ming had deployed near the star.

It seems that ordinary means are meaningless.

Although Leviathan hid inside the star for some unknown reason, it still had the ability to easily destroy Chen Ming's warships.

In this case, the more it wants to do something, the less Chen Ming will allow it to do it.

Soon, another Zerg warship emerged from the fleet consisting of the previous battleship brought by Chen Ming.

However, this Zerg battleship is different from most battleships and the previous one.

Its size is larger than that of ordinary battleships, and is even close to the size of the designed Titan-class battleship.

A battleship of this size is certainly an anomaly.

Its structural strength is supported by the Queen Insect's psychic power. If there was no psychic power, its structure would have collapsed long ago.

There were no weapons on board, only armor and empty chambers inside the battleship.

But the chamber will soon no longer be empty.

Chen Ming's psychic power acted on the battleship, and he constantly used the resources at his disposal to create something on the battleship.

A man-made substance that it had only recently discovered and developed, and which also has the most development potential in the empire today.

Artificial Star-Eating Fluid.

Although Chen Ming did not master the star-eating power of the Star-Eating Body, he at least used the corpses to master some other abilities.

Stellar fluid can inhibit the spread of stellar radiation, which is something Chen Ming is very clear about.

When a huge amount of stellar fluid is released from the interior of a star on a large scale, it will inevitably interfere with the normal existence of the star and further affect the situation within the galaxy.

However, there are no habitable planets in these three galaxies, and there is no sign of life on the planets within the galaxies.

Chen Ming didn't care what would happen to Hengxing at all.

He can use this method without any psychological burden.

Chen Ming letting his spaceship enter the star was only the first step. Finding a way to get the ghosts out to fight was the key.

Almost no technology currently available to humans is effective inside a star, including weapons.

So he had to do that first.

The manufacturing capacity of psychic energy continued to play a role. After this huge and bloated Zerg battleship entered the interior of the star, the stellar fluid in its body had accumulated to the extreme.

But Chen Ming continued to produce new Star-Eating Fluid inside until it was about to touch the red Leviathan.

At that moment when the strength of the battleship could no longer hold on.

The entire battleship exploded.

This is not a self-explosion, but a burst caused by internal pressure.

A huge amount of stellar fluid was released throughout the star.

Although this "huge amount" is nothing compared to a star, for Leviathan, which is so close, these stellar fluids are enough to interfere with the stellar matter near it.

And this interference obviously stimulated Leviathan.

It finally moved, turned around and left the star, emerging from the surface of the star, staring at Chen Ming's fleet.

The radiation intensity within the galaxy increased again, and electromagnetic pulses appeared again around Leviathan's body.
