Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 415 Search
After leaving the office, Chen Ming once again went to the giant dock where the super body was parked.

When he came back, the two directors were still in the main control room, directing their men to do the preliminary work of studying the captured spacecraft.

This time, Chen Ming didn't think of not disturbing them. He ran directly into the main control room and asked the two directors, "How is it?"

The captain of the ship was originally paying attention to the super-sized ship outside. When he heard Chen Ming's voice, he immediately turned around and said impatiently: "You are finally here. If you hadn't come, we would have gone to look for you."

"The technological level of this ship is not several generations behind ours, so it's totally possible to make it. It just so happens that some people from the capital ship project team can be allocated, but it would be better to recruit more people."

Then he asked cautiously, "You don't have the idea of ​​putting the technology on this super ship on the main battleship, do you?"

"No."

"That's good."

Although the technology of super bodies is not much different, it is impossible to analyze, disassemble, study, experiment and apply the technology on the spacecraft without several years.

Two years ago, the director of the ship institute wanted to do a big project and then retire, so he was waiting for Chen Ming to finish this project.

If Chen Ming changes his mind halfway through, he might have to stay for two more years.

Although if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. A project involving super body technology will be more valuable than the original one.

But he really wanted to live two more years.

Chen Ming had already thought about how to use the super body, so he didn't say much about it. And he didn't come here to talk about this.

"Has the data of Super's spacecraft been recorded?
"Okay, the scanning is complete, and the most detailed 3D model is already being built. It will be released soon."

"Then the material properties and proportions have been verified to be fine. This material should soon be produced on the next planet for sample testing."

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a special spaceship."

The director of the psychic energy institute beside him saw Chen Ming turning his head to look at him and said: "The psychic energy fluctuation characteristics of the two psychic energy components that control space and time have been recorded."

"This psychic component is much more advanced than the technology of the spacecraft, so it is quite difficult to replicate."

After listening to their descriptions, Chen Ming responded with satisfaction: "Okay, I understand."

"In a couple of days, someone should come to ask for the measured spacecraft data. It's still the same as before. The data can be given freely, but the samples must be sent in person."

The ship's director said in a reassuring manner, "Don't worry. Don't we know what to do yet?"

"To be honest, it feels great. In the past, we were the ones who had to put up with Fan Chao, but now it's their turn."

The director of the psychic energy institute nodded in agreement.

Chen Ming didn't care about this and continued, "Okay, now that we have done what we need to do, I will take the boat away for a while."

The ship's director was a little confused and asked, "Is this ship a pure combat ship? Is there another battle coming?"

"Not really, it's just that this thing can help me get out and do something."

"Oh, then you can just drive your boat wherever you want. Why are you asking us? But is it really okay to use this boat?"

"You mean time is speeding up?"

"Ah."

"For ordinary people, it is indeed equivalent to shortening their lifespan by using a spaceship, but it doesn't matter to me."

Chen Ming's body was created, and the accelerated aging of time has an impact on his body, but not much.

If your body gets old, repair it. If it can’t be repaired, replace it.

As for the aging of consciousness, that is not a problem at all.

When Chen Ming's lost body could survive only by relying on his consciousness.

The aging of his consciousness is no longer affected by any external factors. As long as he still has the desire to live, he cannot die due to the aging of his consciousness.

It can almost be said that unless he wants to die, he will never die.

The mere acceleration of time will not have any effect on him.

Seeing Chen Ming being so straightforward, the two directors did not say anything. They began to direct the personnel and equipment that had just been dispatched to withdraw and returned the spacecraft to Chen Ming.

The various data they recorded when Chen Ming was away were enough for research for a period of time.

However, after Chen Ming got the super body back, he did not board it immediately.

Because the super body is not designed with a cabin for people to enter.

So Chen Ming decisively attached a cabin to it. Anyway, as long as he could get in, it would be fine. The size of the cabin was very small compared to the super body itself. This close-fitting equipment could also be accelerated by the time flow core inside the super body.

After completing this minor modification, Chen Ming boarded the ship and controlled the super body to leave the port, pass through the wormhole in the galaxy, and enter the universe behind the wormhole.

Then, the super body just floated quietly near the space station without any movement.

Only Chen Ming in the mounting cabin took out the photos that the Minister of Psionics had given him, which were left by the Imperial Archaeological Team at the Cultural Memorial Hall of the Shining Civilization.

These photos are said to be photos that have been projected onto the wall near the bottom floor of the memorial hall for a long time. The photos are shaped like Leviathan and there is a star map next to them.

Chen Ming found the projections of all the Leviathans he had seen on it. Except for the Nightmare of the Planes, all the other Leviathans, including the first few Leviathans he solved, the Leviathans that were parasitic on the planets that he solved later, and the Crystal Leviathan, were discovered.

It was determined that these projections were related to Leviathan.

At the same time, it can also be inferred that the star map projection next to it is most likely the same and is also related to Leviathan.

Although the star map should be a three-dimensional projection, the projection equipment in the ruins has long been corroded by time and cannot be repaired. For a long time, only a two-dimensional star map has been projected on the wall.

So he cannot directly determine the specific locations these projections represent in the normal universe.

However, Chen Ming then took out a star map of the universe behind the wormhole that he had arranged for the fleet to investigate and record.

This star map was previously rather dull and empty, because he had only had his fleet conduct a very superficial survey of most of the surrounding galaxies.

His fleet was mainly focused on expanding the capacity of the star map and investigating as much information as possible in a superficial manner.

But now, some galaxies in this star map have been added with some additional unconfirmed galaxy data.

The Minister of Psychic Power had taken the initiative to help Chen Ming get it before. Based on the stellar conditions of the galaxy, the arrangement of the galaxy's planets and their distance from the stars, some information can be determined through this kind of observation as galaxy data.

Just waiting for Chen Ming to go and confirm on the spot.

The Minister of Psionics obviously suspected that Leviathan was related to the survivors, so he eagerly helped Chen Ming do this.

However, Chen Ming didn't know whether the survivors were really controlling these Leviathans nearby.

He only knew that there were definitely still a lot of people left in the Shining Civilization after they had just passed through the insect movement, and they still had the energy to develop these Leviathan creatures.

The same goes for the residents of the Shining Civilization who remained in front of the wormhole. They also have the resources and capabilities to research some very important and powerful technologies, represented by the resurrection mechanical fluid he obtained.

Regardless of whether there is a connection between the star map and the survivors, there is a great possibility that he can obtain some valuable technology based on this star map.

Considering Chen Ming's current level of exploration of the surrounding star fields, it is not difficult to compare the star map and the projection angles.

However, this star map only records the projections of galaxies where Leviathans exist, and the star map does not mark the types of Leviathans that exist in each galaxy.

Therefore, Chen Ming could only use the galaxies where several Leviathans were known to him as a basis to compare the two-dimensional projections one by one to confirm the angle of the star map in the real universe.

At first, Chen Ming was misled.

Treat the galaxy where he solved the planet-eater as a galaxy on this two-dimensional star map.

However, he quickly realized that the starstruck in the galaxy where he had eliminated the starstruck appeared there five years ago and came from other places to reproduce.

And this star map is more than five years old.

Soon after eliminating the galactic interference of the Star-Eating Body, Chen Ming found the star field of the normal universe corresponding to this two-dimensional star map.

By the way, Chen Ming also used the star map to identify all the galaxies where Leviathans existed.

Although due to the angle of the shadow projected on the wall, some galaxies where Leviathan exists are blocked by other information.

But it’s not a big problem.

The archaeological team had already confirmed the total number of Leviathan projections, that is, the total number of Leviathans, when taking pictures.

By seeing if the final data matches, we can know whether there is Leviathan in those blocked galaxies.

It was only when Chen Ming verified all the data and confirmed that every galaxy corresponded to Leviathan.

He discovered that there was an additional galaxy on the star map.

This is not because one galaxy was added when calculating the overlapping galaxy projections. After comparing the data on the two-dimensional projection with the three-dimensional space, Chen Ming can be sure that a certain galaxy is added.

The amount of information on the star map is just one more than the number of Leviathan projections.

This is interesting.

Chen Ming didn't know which galaxy was extra, but he could verify it one by one.

He created Lucy with this idea in mind.

I have checked the information on hand.

Chen Ming did not continue waiting there, but immediately activated the time flow core of the super body, allowing the entire super body to enter a state of accelerated time.

He could feel his consciousness slightly split as time accelerated.

This is because his main consciousness located in the super body also speeds up its thinking when time accelerates, resulting in a sense of separation due to the difference in thinking speed between him and the secondary consciousness in other places.

Now the time flow core has just been activated. If time accelerates faster, this feeling will be more obvious.

But it’s not a big problem, just endure it and it will be fine.

Ordinary psychics might suffer from schizophrenia due to their thinking mode of one side being fast and the other side being slow.

But for Chen Ming, he can fully withstand this kind of mental pressure. He has endured more serious and painful mental pressure than this. It's just schizophrenia, a small problem.

And the accelerated thinking brought about by accelerated time has another benefit.

This allows him to think about more things over a longer period of time than in a normal universe.

For some projects that originally required time to research, he can produce results in a very short time under normal cosmic conditions.

Although his mental recovery efficiency did not change much when time was accelerated, because his mental recovery efficiency mainly depended on the hive thinking of the plug-in, those Zerg and mechanical races were not accelerated.

But Chen Ming's own mental recovery speed is enough to allow him to stay conscious and continue working in such an environment.

Wait a moment.

Chen Ming, who was thinking about how time acceleration could help him patrol the galaxies where Leviathan might exist more quickly and speed up the research progress of the mind acceleration project, suddenly thought of it.

It seems that Fan Chao has a special psychic researcher who seems to have the ability to complete a project that would take a long time to research in a very short time.

Could he have psychic powers with similar effects?
The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility, but even if it was, it had nothing to do with Chen Ming.

Anyway, he already has a super body, so he doesn't need to think about what others may have on hand.

However, this time acceleration ability can obviously be further developed, and perhaps some interesting effects can be developed.

As for now, let the super body do what it should do.

The time core continues to accelerate.

Just before Chen Ming really drove the Super Body out, Chen Ming suddenly had a new idea.

He wanted to drive the super body into hyperspace.

Hyperspace is a dimension that can significantly shorten space travel time.

It was also the first time that humans came into contact with an alternative way of superluminal travel.

So what special effects will come from the contact between super bodies and hyperspace?

With this thought in mind, Chen Ming was about to start the super body's hyperspace channel engine, but found that the super body did not have this equipment at all.

He flew many spaceships with hyperspace engines, so he subconsciously thought that the super body should have such equipment, so much so that he ignored the fact that the super body did not actually have a hyperspace engine.

Although this is extremely strange, it seems to make sense.

After all, when the super body attacked the empire, it did not choose to enter the hyperspace, but only traveled at super-high speed in the normal universe.

Although at the speed of a super body there is no need for a hyperspace channel, why not go faster if possible?
There must be a reason for this.

Chen Ming felt that he might be a little disappointed next, but he still chose to use psychic energy to transform the super body and attached an additional hyperspace channel engine.

The super body is not any conventional type of warship, it is more appropriate to regard it as some kind of mechanical combat weapon.

Especially the combat mode where it splits into two smaller ships when destroyed, which is more like some automatic weapons rather than a pure spaceship.

However, it can be equipped with a battleship-level hyperspace channel engine, which is not too troublesome.

installation.

start up.

The superbody entered hyperspace.

Ten seconds later, Chen Ming controlled Super Body to come out again.

Because he found that after the super body entered the hyperspace, the most critical time acceleration effect of the super body was invalidated.

Hyperspace limits the speed of spacecraft, and any spacecraft exceeding a certain speed will be limited to this speed.

The time in this speed unit refers to the time in hyperspace, not the time of the spacecraft itself.

Even though the spacecraft is accelerated by time, the time in hyperspace is not accelerated relative to that in hyperspace, resulting in the speed of the hyperbody being limited to a speed that can be achieved by most small and medium-sized spacecraft.

Although its speed is still very fast compared to spacecraft of the same level, size and mass, it is really nothing compared to the speed of the normal universe.

Now Chen Ming knew why the super body was not equipped with a hyperspace channel engine.

I thought I could make further progress, but it turns out that one of the data has an upper limit, which means that the other data cannot be used no matter how big it is.

But fortunately there are such restrictions.

Otherwise, if it could still travel at the speed of light in hyperspace, then the speed would be so fast that it would be impossible to catch up with it by any means.

The damage and loss it could cause within the empire would be even greater.

There is no other way. Chen Ming’s idea of ​​a shortcut is not working. He has to take the right path.

Chen Ming removed the hyperspace orbital engine that he had just installed, took another look at the star map, and planned a route that would pass through every galaxy where Leviathan was located.

At the beginning, Chen Ming didn't actually plan to go to Leviathan to see whether Leviathan really existed.

Because if the Leviathan is not dealt with, there will probably be no substantial benefit in going to those places, and he may even be discovered by the survivors that he already knows the location of all the Leviathans.

The survivors monitor the surrounding star fields very closely, and they obviously noticed every time he fought with Leviathan before.

His move to evacuate every star system with a Leviathan would obviously be noticed as well.

If the extra galaxy is really the galaxy where the survivors are located, then they may be able to discover Chen Ming's purpose and avoid it in advance.

But if the survivors are really in this place, isn’t this good news?

Since it cannot be changed, let's make a quick decision.

The superbody's time flow has been accelerated to the extreme.

Chen Ming felt that everything around him was slowing down, and his sense of fragmentation was becoming more and more severe.

But it is still within an acceptable range.

A pink flame then spurted out from the tail of the super body. This is the color that appears when the energy extracted from the void battery is used.

Chen Ming disappeared into the Gaia galaxy in a way he had never experienced before.

He arrived at the first galaxy in his plan in an instant at an unprecedented speed.

After quickly scanning around and finding the trace of Leviathan, Chen Ming continued to control the super body towards the next galaxy.

When Chen Ming arrived at the 32nd galaxy.

In the end, he did not find any trace of Leviathan, but instead discovered a space station with an extremely dark appearance in the galaxy.

And the remains of a city were discovered on the surface of the planet below the space station.

Nothing else.

The super body quickly approached the new thing that Chen Ming finally discovered. Maybe the space station might have what he needed.

However, as Chen Ming approached, the space station disappeared like dust.
