Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

The position of the Iron Ore's emergency landing was just right, so that its hatch was aligned with the location of the mine tunnel.

At the same time, a small explosion occurred at the hatch of the Iron Ore, and the hatch was blown open.

Under the cover of countless falling rubbles, the mining robot that looked somewhat damaged by the explosion quickly slipped into the mine tunnel and rushed underground.

Chen Ming wants to take advantage of the moment to take action against the two Afterglow AIs in his plan.

Connect them to the robot controlled by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming had left some small monitoring equipment at the mining site yesterday that he had made last night.

A miniature camera with a matching mini power supply is not complicated and the effect is very simple.

Some monitoring blind spots installed deep in the mine tunnels allow Chen Ming to remotely see the situation here.

So Chen Ming has now confirmed that there are two robots controlled by Yuhui underground in the mine, and they are moving hurriedly to the surface.

At this time, they had lost contact with the top due to damage to the signal relay caused by the explosion, and were about to collide with the mining robot that was going down.

The reason why Chen Ming was so eager to take action was not to wait for other opportunities.

It was because Huihuang asked Chen Ming a few days ago if he had any special requirements for the living environment.

Chen Ming didn't react at the time, but later he suddenly realized another layer of meaning contained in the words "Brilliant".

Currently, the industrial colony of Yuhui where Chen Ming is located is relatively peripheral to Yuhui's territory on the star map that Gamma A gave him last time.

Therefore, Yu Hui's placement of Chen Ming here must only be temporary, and he will be transferred to other places sooner or later.

Chen Ming has always been aware of this, but he always thought that time would be further back.

It wasn't until Huihuang asked those words that he knew that this day was coming.

If Yu Hui wants to transfer Chen Ming, he must first arrange a stricter environment to control him.

Secondly, afterglow and they need Chen Ming to work for them, so providing a good living environment is definitely a must.

So Chen Ming realized Hui Hui later and asked him why.

And just a few days ago, Yuhui spent only one night transforming these three factories into environments suitable for human work.

To transform the environment suitable for human habitation, even if it requires transplanting some vegetation to ensure a certain ecological environment, it will only take a few days at most.

If Yuhui had its own developed habitable planet, it would definitely be more efficient.

And if Chen Ming is really led by Yuhui to a place they have arranged more carefully, it will be difficult for him to find such a good opportunity to contact Yuhui by himself.

So after careful consideration, he decided to do it if he had the chance.

Chen Ming was lucky, Yuhui didn't seem to have any, so he didn't directly prepare to transfer him in the past few days.

Let him delay until now and find a decent opportunity.

Moreover, Yuhui has now begun to increase the progress of testing Chen Ming's ability, and Chen Ming has also shown great cooperation.

In other words, even if something unexpected happens to Chen Ming now, the most that Yu Hui will do is increase his supervision until he is transferred to another place.

But it doesn't matter, even if he doesn't do this, Yuhui will definitely not change their plan.

Chen Ming still has to go to other galaxies. He doesn't have much time left.

Chen Ming's lack of time now is not only reflected in his personal freedom, but also in the mining field.

After the explosion, less than two minutes passed.

The mining robot controlled by Chen Ming has not yet reached a few levels.

Several Afterglow escort-class ships have already landed on the ground from space.

At the same time, brilliant communications were also sent, asking about Chen Ming's situation.

Chen Ming immediately explained according to the wording he had thought of before: "When my spacecraft just passed by the mining site, it was hit by something blown up by the explosion, causing the engine to stall. I am restarting the spacecraft."

"Please hurry up and don't affect the actions of subsequent rescue ships."

What Huihuang said made Chen Ming a little strange.

I don't know whether Huihuang has not received specific and more detailed information, or whether he is already aware of the situation at the scene, but does not have any suspicion on him.

But then, the Iron Mine suddenly detected that there was detection equipment scanning the Iron Mine and its surrounding areas.

Chen Ming knew that Yu Hui's ship was not scanning the Iron Ore, but the situation underground.

The few Afterglow ships that arrived at the fastest speed near the Iron Ore were just temporary rescue ships, and the scanning equipment they were equipped with could only scan forty to fifty meters at most.

However, there is space in the mine tunnel itself for the scanning signal to continue to penetrate deeper.

Therefore, they should be able to scan to the current location of the robot.

Just as Chen Ming thought.

Huihuang once again asked Chen Ming a question.

And this time it's not a question, but a question.

"Mr. Chen, why is your robot down there?"

It seemed that Huihuang had not received detailed information just now, so he did not suspect Chen Ming at first.

But things are different now.

Chen Ming definitely can’t say that he wants to blow up the mining site and then give him a chance to try to control the Afterglow AI.

Continuing to follow the statement he had previously considered, he said: "My robot was hit when it made an emergency landing. There seemed to be some internal parts damaged. I lost control of it, and then it rushed out."

"This is the last error data sent back by my robot. Do you want to take a look?"

Chen Ming transferred a data package to the factory computer.

The data packet was not forged by Chen Ming, but real, because Chen Ming actually tampered with the robot.

At some point, it will actively trigger the design error in Chen Ming's program, and directly use the explosives he carries to blow open the hatch that Chen Ming has removed the explosion-proof airtight door and most of the dolomite steel materials.

Afterwards, Chen Ming will control the mining robot through his abilities.

This turns everything that seems intentional into a coincidence.

Just when Chen Ming sent the data packet to the factory computer.

A second big explosion occurred here at the mining site.

Another collapse occurred near the mine tunnel, and half of the Iron Mine fell directly into the ground.

At this time, Chen Ming immediately said to Huihuang: "The signal of my robot is cut off."

At the same time, it corresponds to what Chen Ming said.

With this explosion, a large amount of crushed rock completely blocked the upper mine tunnel.

When the power grid inside the mine is destroyed and the signal repeater is disconnected, it is difficult for the scanning equipment to continue exploring in a completely enclosed space.

They also immediately lost control of the position of Chen Ming's robot.

The depths underground were already dark to the afterglow of the surface.

At least until ships with more powerful scanning and detection capabilities arrive.

But for Chen Ming, the underground seemed to have completely fallen into his control at this time.

So he must hurry up.

Huihuang already had full doubts at this time.

But Chen Ming's performance in recent days has been very cooperative, without any intention of resisting.

And based on its observations during this period, it indeed believed that Chen Ming was unable to control things outside the spacecraft.

But there are some things in front of us, and Chen Ming's recent performance cannot mean that he can completely get rid of the relationship.

Huihuang said to Chen Ming again: "Mr. Chen, we need you to explain the reason for this explosion."

"Our mining farm will not use any items that may cause an explosion of this magnitude. The one that can cause such a situation must be your mining robot."

Chen Ming said as if he didn't know, "I don't know. I asked my mining robot to carry some explosives with me, but I never let it be used."

"Maybe... my robot has had some problems before? My mastery of robot technology is not superb."

"The transformation was also done using a transport robot, as you have seen before."

"I feel like there was something wrong with me during the transformation that I didn't find out."

"Hold on."

As Chen Ming spoke, he retrieved all the operation records of his control of the mining robot on the Iron Ore's computer.

As well as the actual backup of the mining robot's own chip operating data on the computer.

Sent them all to the factory computer.

"I know you are doubting me now, but there is no reason for me to blow up a mining farm when I have nothing to do. Is this good for me?"

Huihuang accepted the data, but still said: "Mr. Chen, whether you have any doubts or not is our business."

"I know, so I will cooperate with you."

Chen Ming was saying and doing this, and even took the initiative to explain, taking part of the blame on himself.

This will make it easier for him to provide relevant guidance in this regard when the results of Yuhui's investigation are revealed.

After all, he did add some loopholes into the behavioral logic chip of the mining robot.

These loopholes just allow the mining robot to receive some false commands that appear inexplicably and suddenly.

Although there are two data bases, Huihuang has also discovered loopholes in the robot data.

But it still doesn't believe Chen Ming's statement at this time.

Because it was all too coincidental, as if everything was carefully arranged.

However, there is nothing it can do at this time.

Because most places in the mine tunnels of the mining site are monitored, of course, they are no longer under surveillance due to the explosion.

However, yesterday, almost all places in the mine tunnel, except for the newly excavated area at the deepest part of the mine tunnel, were under the surveillance of Afterglow, and there were at most a few blind spots.

But for the size of the mining robot, these blind spots are hardly blind spots.

Chen Ming's mining robot was only out of Yuhui's surveillance for a while when it was mining near the newly dug mine tunnel deep underground.

And all the videos have just been re-confirmed by Hui Hui. It can be said that Chen Ming's robot has no time to deploy a large number of explosives that can cause such a powerful explosion.

Moreover, there is currently no direct evidence to prove that the signal repeater failure was caused by Chen Ming.

So although Huihuang is now full of doubts, there is still no substantial evidence to prove that Chen Ming was planning all of this from beginning to end.

However, it can still impose some restrictions on Chen Ming.

"Mr. Chen, your spacecraft's permission to go out has been temporarily revoked. Please let your spacecraft return immediately. We need to ensure safety."

Huihuang didn't say whose safety it was ensuring, but it didn't matter whose it was.

Chen Ming's purpose has been achieved.

He acted quite cooperatively and said, "I'm doing this."

The bottom engine of the Iron Ore's landing module erupted into flames again, pulling the ship back up from the rubble that almost completely buried it.

Chen Ming did not stop and let him return directly.

The scattered gravel completely sealed the opening of the mine entrance that had not collapsed due to the support of the Iron Mine.

The remaining Afterglow ships, which had been motionless just now, immediately sent a large number of robots carrying heavy equipment to approach the ruins.

And Chen Ming's mining robot has found opportunities deep underground.

The two explosions that just happened looked terrifying.

But in fact, it was just the weight of the underground explosion that blew away the top rock layer and collapsed the upper mine tunnel.

Although the lower mine tunnel was damaged to some extent, it still managed to maintain its functions. However, most of the equipment inside was destroyed in the explosion just now.

So the current mine tunnel is completely dark, but this does not prevent the mining robot from turning on its night vision goggles and speeding up its pace under Chen Ming's control.

And soon, two robots carrying the Afterglow AI core that were Chen Ming's targets were found deeper.

They immediately became alert after discovering the mining robot.

But the weapons Chen Ming had specially installed before were just for this moment.

To deal with this kind of robot responsible for maintenance work, the mining robot equipped with weapons quickly completely paralyzed it.

Even if there are two maintenance robots and they are controlled by Yuhui AI, the results will not change.

The two gamma-level AI cores were quickly removed by Chen Ming.

At the same time, he also opened the storage space of the mining robot, which contains the interface for the Afterglow AI core he designed.

When Chen Ming controlled the mechanical arm of the mining robot and moved the AI ​​core close to the interface.

He became nervous unconsciously.

He has great confidence that the Afterglow AI installed on the robot will be controlled.

But before it is actually realized, Chen Ming’s confidence cannot guarantee that the probability of success is 100%.

If it fails, Chen Ming will have no choice but to bury all the evidence under the mine tunnel.

At the same time, he placed his remaining hopes on the two AI cores that were already under his control.

When Chen Ming connected the Yuhui AI core to the Dao mining robot, the tension in his heart reached its peak.

But after he saw the two extra AI cores in the [Controlled AI Individual] column on the panel, he suddenly relaxed again.

If it can be controlled, then everything can continue to proceed according to Chen Ming's predetermined plan.

Chen Ming did not let the mining robot stop, but continued to approach a maintenance channel closest to the stamping machine.

Although the stamping machine was stopped due to the explosion, it itself was not damaged and was directly connected to the core equipment of the entire mining site.

Chen Ming quickly found a special excuse for maintenance on it, and took out the adapter he had prepared in advance on the mining robot.

Integrated the Afterglow AI core that was already under his control.

Like a virus, Chen Ming's psychic energy invaded the stamping machine and also invaded the core control equipment of the mining farm linked to the stamping machine.

And locked the last gamma AI connected to the core control equipment of this mining farm.

Chen Ming's psychic energy was like a virus, invading its body in an instant and completely controlling it.

At this point, the mining farm and the three gamma AIs all fell into Chen Ming's hands.

A few minutes later, a third big explosion occurred again deep underground in the mining tunnel.

The power of this explosion was even greater than the previous two. It not only caused the entire mine tunnel to completely collapse, but also

And just in the past few minutes.

Chen Ming had already asked the mining robot to pull out the AI ​​core, and relied on the AI ​​core connected to the control device to completely delete the internal access records of the AI ​​core before uploading the data to the factory.

The two AI cores were also installed back into the original robot.

After placing two robots equipped with Afterglow AI cores, they found a suitable location and directly chose to detonate the explosives they carried.

Chen Ming relied on the explosion expert's external brain to control the power of the explosion as much as possible.

Even if the mining robot is blown up, the two Afterglow robots should be able to survive the explosion.

It won't be long before they are dug up and taken away by Afterglow, who comes to the rescue.

Under normal circumstances, even if there is no problem with these two afterglows, they will definitely go through heavy review, but the review will never lead to any results.

There will be no psychic fluctuations in the objects controlled by Chen Ming's ability.

And under his order to keep everything normal, there will never be any abnormal behavior, let alone Chen Ming's situation.

The afterglows on the two robots may be removed after review, they may continue to stay, or they may remain monitored like Gamma A for a considerable period of time.

It is even possible that it will not experience all this, but will be directly destroyed underground due to explosions or collapsed mine tunnels.

Regardless of the outcome, Chen Ming will not be affected.

Because there was no contact with Chen Ming's robot at all, the most critical aspect of Chen Ming's plan was that the gamma AI that controlled the mining farm itself was controlled by him.

This afterglow is the most important executor of Chen Ming's next plan.

There will definitely be scrutiny and skepticism about Afterglow, but it will definitely be a little more relaxed than the two Afterglows that are located underground.

Because Chen Ming currently has no ability to remotely control the spacecraft or even control the Afterglow AI.

Sunset couldn't possibly be doubtful about this.

It wasn't that Chen Ming thought Yu Hui's thinking would be so rigid.

But because, if Yu Hui is really so suspicious, then Hui Yao, who has been responsible for supervising Chen Ming and has had contact with Chen Ming before, and even all Yu Hui individuals in the entire Yu Hui colony, are among the objects of suspicion.

Therefore, unless Yuhui suspects the entire colony, there is no reason to doubt a Yuhui AI that has no contact with Chen Ming for a long time.

As long as this Afterglow AI can be preserved, then Chen Ming will have plenty of opportunities to do something very important to him.

The Iron Ore returned to the factory.

On the Yuhui side, the mining site still needs to be excavated.

Brilliance is not the overall commander of this matter, so it still has time to do other things.

For example, reporting the situation to higher authorities and revising Chen Ming's daily report.

The risk rating on Chen Ming's daily report had been reduced to a medium level in the past few days.

But after what happened today, it has once again been promoted to a high level by brilliance.

If any problems are discovered during subsequent searches and investigations of the mining site, Chen Ming's risks will continue to rise.

They will inevitably take some measures against Chen Ming.

Of course, it is not a direct harmless treatment. Chen Ming has demonstrated his ability in the process of cooperation in the past few days.

Huihuang knew that their scientific research individuals were already designing some test weapons based on Chen Ming's abilities, and based on the results of the tests in the past few days, they were also designing weapons that could rely on Chen Ming's abilities to achieve special effects.

Therefore, even if targeted measures were to be taken against Chen Ming, it would definitely not be directly killing him.

Of course, if Chen Ming, who had just been picked up, had done such a thing, the possibility of directly dealing with it harmlessly would be very high.

But now, how Chen Ming will be treated in the future will be determined by the investigation results of the mining site explosion.

The Iron Ore flew back to the factory and parked inside the factory at Brilliance's request.

Moreover, Huihuang directly locked the door authority of the factory and temporarily imprisoned Chen Ming in the factory.

Chen Ming's permission to go out was physically withdrawn.

And Chen Ming also decided to be honest for a few days and fully cooperate with Hui Hui in doing things.

It looked like it really wasn't him, he just wanted a reasonable result.

Chen Ming didn't know whether Huihuang believed it or not. Regardless of whether he believed it or not, what he wanted to do was already done.

When he can go out later, it should be time for him to be transferred.

In the next few days, Chen Ming plans to build a new robot.

The handling robot was very convenient to use before, so Chen Ming planned to make a replica.

The technical book given by Lao Wu was very complete, so complete that Chen Ming could even add loopholes to the robot's chip at will.

Therefore, it should be enough to re-create a factory with so many equipment.

Huihuang only took back Chen Ming's permission to go out, but Chen Ming can still call other permissions within the factory.

Just when Chen Ming was thinking about the drawings of the robot.

Lao Wu suddenly made two strokes on the sentry.

Chen Ming immediately sent a message, but Lao Wu refused.

Chen Ming immediately became wary and looked over, but found nothing special about Old Wu.

In doubt, he opened the hatch for Lao Wu and let him enter the spacecraft.

After entering the captain's room, Old Wu said: "Xiao Mu, your spaceship is almost here. It has been transported from the prosperous star field to the capital of the star field. It will be delivered in about a day using normal logistics."

"oh?"

Chen Ming felt a little excited. He had been waiting for this Heavy Rain class, which he had invested a lot in, for a long time.

Chen Ming glanced at Gamma B subconsciously at this time.

While Chen Ming was busy these days, Gamma B had also completed several tasks issued internally by Yuhui and obtained some mechanical family chips as task rewards.

It has reached the limit of gamma-level AI and reached beta level, and it is in the process of replacing the core at this time.

"I understand, I will make arrangements here."
