Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 428 Neutron
Chen Ming used his psychic power to directly come to the outside of the shelter.

At this time, there are still a huge number of mechanical people on the surface of the planet, searching for the remaining humans on the planet, or searching for technological products belonging to humans.

There are still engineering machinery units that use the construction materials within the city and the materials transported by orbital airdrops to build production buildings belonging to the mechanical family on the ruins of the city.

Dismantle everything that belongs to humans and create a new force for the mechanical race.

And outside the planet.

The mechanical fleet was reorganizing after the battle. At a glance, there were at least thousands of spaceships of different levels, including a mothership and hundreds of cruisers.

This is why the local patrol fleet was completely wiped out without any ability to resist.

Under such firepower, even the orbital space station did not have much chance to struggle and was destroyed by the mechanical clan in an instant.

At this time, the Mechanical Clan still had a number of transport spacecraft that were constantly heading to the ground from the mothership above the planet's orbit.

The mechanical units that had become redundant for ground combat power were reloaded and taken away, apparently to be used at their next destination.

However, there are still enough mechanical ground units left on the planet to control the planet.

The mechanical clan is serious this time.

Their purpose was not just destruction and looting, but real invasion war.

Once they have a base on the border of the empire and let the remaining mechanical forces follow up, the empire's counterattack will be very difficult.

We must never allow the mechanical race to take root on the borders of the empire.

Chen Ming looked up at the sky, and spiritual energy waves swept out.

Endless liquid metal gushed out from the void surrounded by psychic energy fluctuations, directly enveloping the entire planet and covering all places near the planet's orbit.

It also swallowed up the mechanical spaceships in orbit.

With Chen Ming's current abilities, the mechanical race has no power to resist at all.

However, Chen Ming did not directly mix the afterglow core into the metal liquid of the sky to control the spaceships of the mechanical clan.

He didn't intend to reveal his ability to control the enemy without personal contact so early.

Using the metal skylight alone was the most efficient means he had to deal with the mechanical race, and no additional force was needed.

But at this time, an unexpected situation still happened.

Just as Chen Ming's metal sky surrounded the planet.

Some of the mechanical spacecraft that were flying away from or approaching the planet came into contact with the metal sky and were restricted by the metal liquid.

A large number of mechanical warships outside the planet directly chose to self-destruct, destroying their own engines, ammunition depots and fuel depots, turning themselves into fireballs in the universe.

The mothership, which was also wrapped in metallic liquid in the planet's orbit, chose to directly bombard the planet's surface with ridge cannons.

Several red energy beams continuously swept through the ruins of the colonial cities on the planet, without any regard for the possibility that there might be their kind among them.

The city was already reduced to ruins, and after the bombardment, there was almost nothing of value left.

And it's even more surprising.

The mechanical units in the surface ruins that were not directly destroyed by the bombardment of the Ridgecrest Cannon also gave due cooperation.

Those engineering machinery units that were originally manufacturing and installing various mechanical production equipment immediately dismantled or blew up the built facilities.

The remaining mechanical tribes that had no production capacity all chose to self-destruct without any hesitation.

All mechanical races have their own nanorobots, which use the antimatter energy supply of the nanorobots to create annihilation and self-destruction, without even leaving too much debris.

Everything the mechanical race does is aimed at complete destruction.

Chen Ming could understand this situation.

The mechanical race had indeed been on guard against him, and had also thought of the most appropriate way to deal with him.

That is self-destruction.

And before self-destruction or being controlled by Chen Ming, it will cause the most serious damage to mankind and try to destroy as much of the empire as possible.

The nature of the mechanical race determines that they have absolutely no power to resist when facing Chen Ming.

Since it is impossible to resist, everyone in this position knows what to do.

and.

The target of the Mechanical Clan should never be Chen Ming, but the Empire.

What they want to do is to destroy the foundation of the empire and deal a heavy blow to it.

After all, Chen Ming's energy and ability are limited. He can protect a galaxy and a star region, but he absolutely cannot protect an empire.

If Chen Ming comes, he will self-destruct and exchange battle damage with the Empire.

If Chen Ming doesn't come, then they will use their full strength.

Doing this would really disgust Chen Ming.

Chen Ming had the strength but didn't know where to use it, like he had punched cotton.

But what they did at this time could not change Chen Ming's approach.

After the metal sky completely covered the planet, it fell towards the surface of the planet like the sky was collapsing.

There were still some mechanical spacecraft that were approaching the surface of the planet. When they confirmed that their speed could not reach the surface and destroy some human buildings before the sky curtain caught up, they chose to self-destruct directly in space.

The mothership that attacked the planet continued to descend rapidly before the sky fell, and the firepower of the entire ship was continuously output towards the city on the ground.

The only hope is to use up all the stock before being caught up by Chen Ming's metal skylight.

Of course this is impossible.

But the mothership obviously didn't expect to use up all its energy reserves.

Because it did not slow down at all when approaching the surface, it crashed into the center of the colony ruins on the planet at the maximum speed it could reach in the atmosphere.

Just before crashing, the mothership cranked up its engines to maximum power, detonating its own ammunition depot and energy batteries.

The chain reaction caused by this series of self-explosions made the energy explosion power of the battleship's self-destruction reach its peak.

Even from space, one could see the rising mushroom cloud that almost covered the entire city.

And at the moment when the mothership exploded.

In those shelters where there were still survivors on the edge of the city, a large amount of liquid metal appeared out of nowhere and covered the edges of the shelter walls.

Just when the survivors in the shelter were extremely panicked because of the sudden unknown situation.

next moment.

The explosion of the mothership's self-destruction spread along the strata to the shelters. This violent impact was accompanied by violent shocks and crustal vibrations caused by the impact.

The entire shelter was shaking like a small boat in a storm.

The impact and earthquake also destroyed the shelter's power system. The arrival of darkness caused screams in the shelter, and an accident was about to happen.

Light returned to the sanctuary.

And the metallic liquids disappeared after a short period of darkness, as if they had never appeared.

Of course it was Chen Ming who did this.

If he didn't do this, all ordinary people would die in the impact of the mothership's self-destruction.

The impact that could destroy the entire city was simply not something the shelter could withstand.

He must go back to help, otherwise the survivors of the entire planet will be completely wiped out.

The Minister of Psychic Powers, who was also in the shelter, of course saw the metal liquid protecting the shelter, and he also felt the horrific impact.

He couldn't sit still anymore.

While everyone was stunned by the impact that had just arrived and was cushioned by the metal liquid, he came to a door leading to the outside world of the shelter and went directly out of the shelter.

As soon as he reached the passage leading out of the shelter and into the outside world, he found that the outside was plunged into complete darkness.

Thick smoke and dust have covered the entire city.

He used psychic waves to disperse the smoke and dust, but the darkness did not ease at all. The starry sky that was full of stars before was now only a few scattered points of light.

And these spots of light were rapidly decreasing, as if they were being extinguished by something.

The minister looked carefully and seemed to see the sky falling.

His heart tightened, but he relaxed immediately.

Because he knew that was Chen Ming's power.

The sky fell.

This metal liquid, which should have been heavier than the mothership and more destructive, simply fell like rain and seeped into the ground.

It did not cause damage to anything belonging to humans, but completely devoured everything belonging to the mechanical race on the planet.

The entire planet's mechanical race completely disappeared in just a few minutes.

Chen Ming quickly returned to the minister who was outside the shelter.

When the minister saw Chen Ming, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

"It's all been resolved, but to be honest I feel a little sick."

"what happened?"

"Can you see what they are doing?"

The minister glanced at the surrounding buildings that looked as if they had been hit by a nuclear bomb, and the deep pit in the city center that was lit up again under the starlight.

He thought about the possible reasons for this situation and asked, "Did the mechanical race self-destruct?"

"Correct."

The only mechanical creatures that Chen Ming was able to restrain were those that he touched the moment the sky curtain opened.

Almost all other mechanical species self-destructed, causing the entire colonial city to completely lose its value of existence.

And after the mechanical race self-destructed, the materials Chen Ming obtained from their corpses were very few, and almost all of them were annihilated by the antimatter in their nanorobots.

Even if all the mechanical races were eliminated, everything that was supposed to happen had already happened.

This feeling made Chen Ming extremely uncomfortable.

The Psychic Minister comforted Chen Ming and said, "Think positively."

"If you just pass by the mechanical tribe, they will solve the problem by themselves. You don't need to spend much effort, right?"

"Moreover, the mechanical race is a group, and the group has the highest command authority. They must have a command center or something like that. They can't just self-destruct, right?"

"Too."

Chen Ming nodded.

He was just a little disgusted by the mechanical clan's use of this method that they had never used before, but he would get used to it.

The next time he faces the mechanical race, he can deal with it in a more economical way.

Although the mechanical race's actions can indeed prevent his abilities from fully exerting their effects, for them, this way of doing things is also a double-edged sword.

"This galaxy should be safe for the time being. It is basically confirmed that the mechanical race is indeed invading."

"I'll send you back first. The sooner we inform them about the war with the Mechanical Tribe, the better."

"This time they raided and destroyed the FTL communication base station the first thing they did. They must be hoping to occupy a few more star regions before the information is sent up."

"As long as the information is released, their first step will be half-failed."

"And... No, you definitely know more about these than I do, so I won't waste my words."

The Minister of Psychic Energy was still nodding his head at this time, but he stopped after hearing Chen Ming's words and said, "Don't worry, I will not miss anything that needs to be done. So what are your plans?"

"Like you said, the mechanical race must have a control center. Find it and solve it. That's what I'm going to do."

Chen Ming raised his head.

Above my head, there was a half-red and half-white light that cut through the night sky and came here.

That was the super body that had been infected by the scarlet power for a long time and could not dissipate.

After saying hello to the minister and sending him back to the imperial capital.

Chen Ming boarded the super body, and under the effect of time acceleration psychic power, he headed to the capital of the edge star field where he was at the fastest speed.

That is the location where the main fleet of the Mechanical Clan is most likely to appear, and it is also the location where the Mechanical Clan’s core is most likely to occupy later.

The actions of the mechanical race have already revealed their purpose.

Go here, you can't go wrong.

The super body helped Chen Ming reach the star field's capital galaxy almost instantly.

This is a message with six planets.

Although it is located in a marginal galaxy, the natural resources within the galaxy are still extremely abundant.

However, the problem is that Chen Ming did not find any trace of mechanical warships here.

He only discovered traces of a large amount of energy gathering that had not yet dissipated in the sky above the capital planet of the capital galaxy.

The super body immediately approached.

As he got closer, Chen Ming discovered that there were a large number of extremely active neutrons in these traces of energy aggregation.

Even if you just get close to Chen Ming, you can feel these neutrons bombarding the cells in his body, constantly destroying his vitality.

And around this energy source, there is a place with a higher neutron density.

It is the capital planet of the star field below Chen Ming.

An extremely terrible picture suddenly appeared in Chen Ming's mind.

Without thinking too much, he directly controlled the super body to land on the surface of the planet. At the same time, biological armor emerged on the surface of his body to protect him.

To prevent the extremely dense neutron environment from causing further damage to his body.

The super body quickly approached the colonies on the planet and stayed above the core colony.

At this time, there was no trace of life in the entire colony, only deathly silence.

Chen Ming jumped from the super body to the ground.

It fell in the middle of a commercial street that should have been extremely prosperous.

There was not a single pedestrian on the entire street, only corpses could be seen everywhere.

The situation here is much worse than Chen Ming had imagined.

I'm afraid the entire population of the planet has died.

The cause of death is the activated neutrons that are spread throughout the surrounding environment.

Chen Ming looked up at the sky.

It was as if I saw a giant device belonging to the mechanical family releasing an extremely violent neutron jet towards the ground in space.

The shape of the giant device became more and more concrete in his mind.

In the end, it formed a colossus-level machine that the Imperial Children were currently envisioning.

Chen Ming lowered his head and walked towards the corpse closest to him.

The corpse's eyes were wide open and his expression was extremely hideous, and it was obvious that he had suffered inhuman pain before death.

The neutron torrent cannot kill living things instantly. All people whose genes and body tissues are shattered by neutrons will struggle in pain for ten seconds to a minute before death.

Looking at these corpses whose bodies were in so much pain that they almost tore themselves apart before death, it was really hard for Chen Ming not to be moved.

The last time he saw a similar situation was... it was Zuo Jing.
