Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 413 Super Body
The trapped white shadow had nowhere to escape.

To be on the safe side, Chen Ming decided to let the legion commander enter the blockaded area.

After all, the legion commander has already demonstrated enough, and Chen Ming has never seen the abilities of the others.

If he was hacked to death by Baiying in the past, he would have to go through the trouble of saving him.

So Chen Ming sent the legion commander into this space isolated by the distorted space.

It also lifted the blockade on the white shadow itself, making it easier for the legion leader's attack to hit.

The legion commander also quickly entered a mutation state. A blue-white energy beam shot out from the dragon head's mouth and hit the white shadow, which was unable to make any effective maneuvers in the narrow space.

The nanorobots on the White Shadow ship that were frantically repairing damage under the continued effect of time acceleration were completely crushed by the energy beam after only holding on for a short while.

The armor structure of Shiro began to be damaged, exposing its innermost core structure.

Upon seeing this, the legion commander spewed out an even stronger beam of energy from his mouth, hoping to completely destroy the white shadow in one go.

However, the energy beam had just touched the core of the white shadow when the core shattered again.

The ship's structure exploded again and scattered throughout the small blocked space.

With previous experience, the legion commander was not fooled this time. He slightly tilted his head and continued to shoot energy beams at the remaining fragments, especially the core fragments.

However, before the energy beam could spray the fragments, all the broken pieces of the ship suddenly moved nimbly.

The fragments moved at high speed inside the blocked and narrow space, constantly dodging the not-so-thick energy beams.

The complete structure of the White Shadow's maneuverability was severely restricted in the narrow space.

But after being shattered, Bai Ying relied on those nanorobots and became even more flexible than before.

The diameter of the Legion Commander's energy beam after the exit was only about ten centimeters. Although the output was powerful, it was indeed unable to keep up with these fragments that were accelerated to the extreme.

But the legion commander obviously doesn't only know this.

His mouth closed, his face swelled, and the energy beam was confined in his mouth.

After a few seconds he opened his mouth again, and what came out was no longer an energy beam, but a huge energy ball.

The energy ball exploded after flying only a few meters, illuminating the blocked area in blue and white.

Even the energy color of the energy ball explosion extended out along the distorted outer space, covering the inside and outside of the blocked space.

It’s like a messy ball of silk thread was created in the universe, with a special messy beauty.

However, judging from the fact that this energy can leave such obvious traces in the cosmic environment after penetrating dozens of layers of distorted space, the beauty of this energy is quite deadly.

And inside this ball of silk thread.

All the white shadow fragments that were originally running around, whether they were structural fragments or internal core fragments, were all gathered together.

The nanorobots reappeared among the aggregated fragments and reconstructed them into a functioning spacecraft structure.

During this process, the core that originally existed suddenly shattered itself and was completely integrated into the hull of the White Shadow.

And the reunited white shadow split again, and the only two remaining ship structure components dispersed independently, forming two new smaller diamond-shaped white shadows.

The complete white shadow split into two medium-sized white shadows roughly in the shape of boomerangs, and then split into two small white shadows from the medium-sized white shadow.

Originally, no matter who came, they would have to doubt whether the white shadow would continue to split.

But now, with the core shattered and completely integrated into the hull, this should be the smallest structure of the White Shadow.

One of the small white shadows took the initiative to stand in front of the other small white shadow and took the damage from the energy ball explosion.

And its surface structure showed obvious cracks from the inside out.

It was just like the last time the white shadow split, that one used self-detonation to smooth out the space distortion, giving the other white shadow time to escape.

If this small white shadow successfully self-destructs this time, the surrounding space blocked by Chen Ming will probably be flattened again.

Give Baiying another chance to escape.

And as the white shadow's size decreases, its speed may become faster.

If it escapes again, the consequences will be disastrous.

Of course this is just the worst case scenario.

In fact, it is no longer possible for them to reach such speeds.

When the legion commander attacked Bai Ying, he took into account the possibility that Bai Ying might split again. How could Chen Ming not have considered this?

After he sent the legion commander into the space blockade area, the highest point also approached.

Several other psychics were waiting nearby.

Although it is not necessarily possible to restrict the enemy, launching an attack the moment it escapes is completely possible for a level 6 psychic.

Chen Ming would never give Bai Ying another chance to escape.

And those few psychics were just the final preparation.

The one who actually does the work is Chen Ming himself.

At the moment when the Legion Commander destroyed the white shadow and caused it to break into pieces, he entered the area of ​​distorted space and hid behind the Legion Commander.

When the white shadows regrouped into two smaller spaceships.

He appeared in the area where the energy ball released by the legion commander exploded, and endured the energy damage whose aftermath could shatter his armor. He placed his hands on the two white shadows that had just gathered and had no sufficient resistance.

When Chen Ming achieved this, everything was over.

Although Chen Ming's most basic use of spiritual power is subject to various physical limitations.

But when he successfully uses psychic power, the effect of this psychic power is absolute.

Chen Ming successfully controlled two small white shadows and finally learned the names of the two small white shadows.

[Prototype super body (right front sub-machine)] and [Prototype super body (right rear sub-machine)].

There are no specific models or types of ships, only two names and the three words "prototype" which make people feel a little uneasy.

Chen Ming was well aware of the accuracy of his psychic power in naming certain things.

His psychic power said that it was a prototype, so this was definitely a spaceship model that the Mechanical Clan had tried to make.

This is not good news for the Empire. There is a great possibility that the Mechanical Race will throw some extremely troublesome things to the Empire in the future.

Chen Ming sighed in his heart.

Just put this matter aside for now and think about it later.

He eliminated the blockade of this space and at the same time signaled to the legion commander to allow the energy fluctuations covering this space to gradually subside.

The president also put his isolated galaxy back into the normal universe.

Chen Ming stopped where he was and returned to the highest point. He came to the people who were waiting for the result and said, "The matter has been resolved. Today's matter ends here. I will go back to see Minister Luo. Are there any of you who don't want to go? I can trouble the president to send you back."

The psychics who came later looked at each other in confusion.

They knew almost nothing and were called here only because a troublesome enemy had arrived in the empire, so of course they wanted to find out what had happened today.

Except for Hu Yi slightly raising his hand to indicate that he didn't want to follow Chen Ming, Hu Yi's actions were ignored by Chen Ming and the president.

Everyone else planned to go to the Minister of Psychic Power with Chen Ming.

The highest point waited there for a while, until the president's mental strength recovered.

Under the influence of the president's psychic power, he went to the imperial capital.

The reason why Chen Ming was not the one who took them there was because Chen Ming's psychic space movement needed to pass through the Scarlet Dimension. Those who needed to enter the Scarlet Dimension had to close their own consciousness, and then Chen Ming would protect them as they passed.

The few psychics who were called in were not yet at the point where they could trust Chen Ming, so it was left to the president to lead them away.

There is no difference, just a delay of more than ten minutes.

The group still arrived at the Imperial Psionic Department safely.

The Minister of Psychic Powers also received the news in advance and quickly prepared a meeting room for people, arranging everyone except most of the people there.

Only Chen Ming, the president and the corps commander stayed in his office and chatted with him for a while.

After the conversation, the legion commander did not stay in the capital for long, and went directly back to the headquarters through the star gate of the capital galaxy.

After all, the Legion faced a direct test from the Mechanical Clan this time, and the overall losses suffered were quite heavy. He must go back to take charge of the situation and cannot delay too long.

Chen Ming, together with the psychic minister and the president, went to the meeting room prepared by the minister.

At this time, the conference room was filled with only the psychics who had just arrived, as well as a number of familiar faces that Chen Ming had seen before.

They are all the top people in the empire. Chen Ming has seen them all in the previous few times when meetings were held regarding major events in the empire.

Some are real, and some are holographic projections.

Chen Ming took a few glances and stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he sat down directly in the main seat in the conference room.

"Just briefly tell me what happened today."

Chen Ming started from the very beginning without any hesitation.

Including Yu Hui, who escaped because of the Empire's fight against the Mechanical Race, and the 14th Legion was chasing him.

Then, halfway through the chase, he discovered that Yu Hui had suddenly lost everything, including the spacecraft supplies, and the core was all gone, so he asked him to go over and investigate and roughly told him everything.

Then, they discovered that not only had Yuhui lost all of its cores, but also that the escort fleet of their retreating fleet was completely destroyed.

A special warship sent by the Mechanical Clan was completely destroyed.

"This is it."

Chen Ming projected the three-dimensional structure diagram of the super body while speaking at the meeting. He even specially composed some internal structures and looked at them.

So that people can clearly see how it works, even people who don't know many professional terms can roughly know what capabilities this special battleship called Super Body has.

The reason why Chen Ming can put such a three-dimensional structure diagram here.

Of course, it was because he had used psychic power to repair the two small super bodies he controlled, and restored them to their original complete super bodies.

And just now, while waiting for the president's mental strength to recover, he constructed the structure of the super body.

Then there was this thing.

Chen Ming was afraid that this three-dimensional projection alone could not fully explain the power of the super body, so he used Hu Yi who was almost hacked to death to roughly explain the terrifying combat power of the super body.

In short, with this super body there, the reason why the afterglow disappeared became clear.

The Empire has a hard time defeating the Mechanical Race's super bodies, so how could Yuhui possibly defeat them with just one star field?

At present, it seems that only a level 6 psychic has the possibility of destroying it.

So Super easily destroyed all of Yuhui's living forces and killed or kidnapped Yuhui's core leader.

Then use the Kletka simulator in Yuhui's hand as a threat. Although Chen Ming didn't know whether the mechanical race used Kletka as a threat, he did not find the prototype of Kletka in Yuhui's evacuated fleet, and once Yuhui lost this thing, it would be equivalent to extinction.

So just look at it this way, everything is so natural.

After the mechanical race was destroyed in a star field, it seemed that they no longer had a rigid and extreme hatred for humans.

Instead, it has an extreme hatred for humans in a flexible way that can be used to do other things against humans.

And after dealing with Yuhui.

The super body rushed into the empire, destroying wherever it passed.

Chen Ming and the legion commander worked together but they were only able to destroy it once. It was not until several psychics worked together that they were able to completely eliminate the super body.

Obviously this means that the threat of the mechanical race is imminent.

After this, the mechanical race will inevitably become the biggest problem that the empire will have to face.

The meeting lasted for a long time, but Chen Ming was no longer the speaker.

He just wanted to listen to the Empire's attitude and thoughts on this matter on the spot.

See if there's any way he can help.

Although Chen Ming has always said that he doesn't like various aspects of the empire.

But no matter what, he couldn't just stand there and watch when the empire was really facing a crisis of survival.

By the way.

During the meeting, Chen Ming changed his seat and sat next to the person in charge of the Fanchao Research Institute who had worked with him before, that is, Fanchao's deputy director.

The Fanchao Institute is a large institute with several deputy directors, each responsible for a different research direction.

The deputy director who is in contact with Chen Ming has a research direction very similar to Chen Ming's, which is psychic power, ships and special equipment.

Chen Ming explained to him in detail about the super body at the meeting.

This super body was his only gain from this incident.

Although it is impossible to give it out, Chen Ming doesn't mind sharing the information at all.

When he was speaking at the conference, he couldn't really explain the body in detail from the inside out in front of so many people.

So we might as well take advantage of the meeting now to explain things to Fan Chao's people.

Overall, this special spaceship, the Ultra, is indeed a powerful spaceship.

But it's not the ship itself that's powerful.

After Chen Ming's testing, he found that the performance of the Super Body's ship was even worse than that of the phase battleship that was in the final stage of his fleet.

Even compared to ordinary battleships, the data is only about three to four times.

Its means of attack are extremely crude.

It is to use the space spiritual energy to transmit special materials for slashing, and use the same space spiritual energy to transmit and sense the air thunder.

The only thing worth mentioning about the ship itself.

One is a special ship structure that can be rebuilt after being destroyed, as well as nanorobots that match this ability.

The structural design of the super body is very special, with a core component plus four diamond-shaped protruding structures, each of which has complete ship functions.

They can function in a compatible manner as a whole.

It can also split when it is about to be destroyed, actively shatter its core to pretend to be destroyed, and then rebuild it into a smaller spacecraft structure.

The most primitive structure of the superbody was named [Prototype Superbody (Complete)].

After the split, there are [Prototype super body (left structure)] and [Prototype super body (right structure)].

The left plane further down will split into [Prototype super body (left front sub-machine)] and [Prototype super body (left rear sub-machine)].

On the right side are the two diamond-shaped white shadows that Chen Ming finally controlled.

After the split, the super body has higher maneuverability.

Moreover, there was almost no significant change in their combat effectiveness after the split, and they were still able to crush the empire.

This special structural design makes its combat, endurance and survivability extremely powerful.

As for another point worth mentioning, we must first talk about the most powerful aspect of the super body itself.

Its ability to speed up time.

This power comes from a special device in its core.

Time flow core.

This is something similar to the core of Purgatory, and is also a special creation of the Shining Civilization.

The spacecraft installed with it can rely on it to accelerate time.

Of course, it can only accelerate and cannot perform any other operations. Even this force can only affect itself. At most, the things it touches may be affected by the accelerated time.

In this situation where time is accelerating all the time, the material used to build this super body is obviously very important.

It needs to be able to maintain structural stability under the acceleration of time flow.

Therefore, Chen Ming also discovered that the material of the superbody is not a common special material.

It is an extremely complex alloy material that allows the passage of time to leave almost no trace on it.

Not only is its strength considered top-notch, this material also has many other significances.

This is the superbody.

After listening to this, Fan Chao's deputy director thought for a moment and asked, "Is that all? I feel like something is missing."

“Yes, I didn’t say anything.”

Chen Ming did not directly bring out the most important thing.

It is something that exists inside the super body and may be the most precious thing compared to the entire super body.

Void Battery.

It doesn't have any complicated name or function.

There's only one thing it can do.

Drawing energy from other dimensions, supplying whatever is connected to this battery.

The efficiency is approximately three times that of the Empire's most advanced antimatter engine.

Chen Ming was not sure what dimension this void battery was connected to, nor did he know how the void battery did this.

But its function is to extract energy from other dimensions and achieve the effect of apparently extracting energy from the void.

And there is one most exaggerated part.

This battery is not an integrated structure, but a structure similar to that of a nanorobot that can be divided and disassembled, and even self-replicate.

However, there seems to be an upper limit to its self-replication, as if the gap in energy absorbed from other dimensions is so large that when the number exceeds a certain value, it will not be able to continue absorbing more energy.

But this does not affect the effectiveness of the void battery, and the energy it draws from the void is enough to supply a spacecraft like the Super Body.

Obviously, this is also the top technology of a shining civilization.

The technology is at the same level as the Resurrection Mechanical Fluid, but in a different direction.

This is why a battleship-sized super body can last so long even when time is accelerated countless times.

The longer the time, the more energy it extracts from the void.

Chen Ming couldn't understand this technology, but he was obviously shocked.

Deputy Director Fan Chao next to him didn't understand it either, but after Chen Ming brought some of the structure of the void battery to his side and demonstrated it on the spot in person.

He was also shocked by the crystallization of the once glorious and shining civilization technology.

After a while, the deputy director adjusted his mentality and temporarily ignored the outrageous void battery. He asked other questions: "Just now I heard you say that the faceted structure of the super body disappeared after the self-explosion. Why is that?"

"I looked at it later. It's probably the nanorobots that devoured themselves and annihilated themselves. The superbody used some antimatter technology, so it's completely feasible to create annihilation."

"I see. Thank you for sharing."

"You're welcome."

After the deputy director continued to ask Chen Ming a lot of questions, and Chen Ming also thoroughly explained the situation of the super body to the deputy director.

The meeting finally ended.

After the meeting, the Minister of Psychic Powers deliberately took Chen Ming to another deserted place.

Chen Ming didn't understand what the Psychic Minister was going to do, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

The Minister of Psionics said, "Let me tell you what the Empire will do next."

"I just heard it."

"That's good to hear. Anyway, we can't just let psychics take over."

"Our psychics have just regained their social status, and now they have to go to the front line to fight this kind of thing. That's really..."

"We must have spaceships and weapons that are comparable to those of the super-body."

Chen Ming tilted his head slightly and said nonchalantly, "I heard all of this just now. I will help. I have already given the design blueprint of the super body to Fan Chao. You can't expect me to do anything anymore."

The Minister of Psychic Powers did not say anything like request, imploring, or begging.

He knew Chen Ming didn't like these.

It’s not that he doesn’t like others asking him for help, but he doesn’t like the fact that the empire wanted to suppress and restrict him in the past, but now turns around and asks for his help.

So the minister would not ask or request Chen Ming to do anything. He just asked people to do what the empire should do, and then hand over the results to Chen Ming.

The Minister of Psychic Energy handed a storage unit to Chen Ming and said, "This is the rough star map of the cosmic environment behind the wormhole that you sent me earlier."

"Someone has already studied the star map. They can probably determine the various resources contained in different galaxies through the conditions of the stars."

"If the survivors really escaped into the past, their final destination after passing through the wormhole must be nearby."

The Minister of Psyker will not proactively ask Chen Ming to do anything. He just helps Chen Ming pave the way for some things that Chen Ming may want to do and that are also beneficial to the empire.

In this way, it will not bring bad luck to Chen Ming, nor will it affect his real purpose, which is good for everyone.

Chen Ming stared at the storage unit in the Minister of Psychic Power's hand for a while, then took it away.

"I see. I'll check it out later."
