Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

The news of the arrival of heavy rainstorms is one of the few good news recently for Chen Ming.

Chen Ming gradually calmed down some of the tension caused by the execution of his dangerous plan.

Even if something goes wrong with his arrangements in the Afterglow Industrial Colony, he still has Gamma B as his last resort.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming felt a little relieved.

Back on the Iron Ore again.

Chen Ming rarely read the professional books that he had not finished reading today. Instead, he sat in the captain's cabin, holding the terminal and thinking about what had happened recently.

From the time Chen Ming left the space station, was attacked by the military, and finally arrived here seeking afterglow rescue.

Although only less than a week had passed, he felt like it had been a long time.

After all, a lot of things happened during this period, one after another, which made Chen Ming a little tired to deal with it.

So today, Chen Ming plans to summarize all aspects of the situation and carefully consider his future plans.

When considering planning, the first step is to analyze his current situation.

So Chen Ming opened the memo on the terminal and recalled and recorded everything that had happened before.

There are basically no problems up front.

Chen Ming confirmed the company's attitude and prepared to rejoin to help the company get their interests back.

After learning the relevant information, the military planned to stop it.

Then they shamelessly directly used cruiser-class ships.

Chen Ming was forced to use the last resort to come to Yuhui.

During this period, Chen Ming basically had no choice but to choose one path until the end, because all of this only happened within twenty hours, and there was not much time for Chen Ming to prepare.

It wasn't until Chen Ming arrived at Yuhui's territory that he had the opportunity to operate.

And it was here that Chen Ming's thoughts changed somewhat.

His original idea was to work as a researcher in the company and climb up the company's own promotion path.

It is definitely not a problem to get to the top with the help of the panel's ability.

The daily work Yu Hui asked him to do every day can already prove part of it.

However, this was not the only idea in Chen Ming's mind.

In fact, a long time ago, when Chen Ming first took control of Gamma A, he had an idea of ​​completely controlling the entire Afterglow force.

It's just that he couldn't see any way to contact Yuhui at the time, and he couldn't imagine the possibility of achieving this idea at the time.

But it is precisely because Chen Ming has now come to Yuhui's place.

He just suddenly discovered it.

It turns out that the opportunity is just around the corner.

The thoughts in his mind shifted unconsciously.

Especially when this situation occurs, the premise is that the company failed to do what they should do.

Therefore, this strengthened Chen Ming's idea not to rely on others, but on himself.

Even if something went wrong in the company, Chen Ming at least had a chance to survive at that time, and the backup plan he had prepared had indeed allowed him to survive until now.

So since the company's road is temporarily dead, Chen Ming would rather choose another way now.

Of course, Chen Ming didn't completely give up on the company.

He had previously provided the company with afterglow galaxy information.

It is not difficult to find the galaxies marked by Chen Ming among the observable galaxies.

The company must have been planning to rescue him. In the past few days, the plan should be almost complete, and the company should have actually set off.

Having said that, it is impossible for Chen Ming to continue to trust the company unreservedly and put all his confidence in them when he has learned lessons from the past.

Instead of trusting the company, why can't Chen Ming trust himself?

He has five Afterglow AI cores on hand in the Afterglow territory, and two of them are almost in a state where they cannot be suspected.

Relying on the AI ​​core that can be said to be absolutely controlled by Chen Ming at hand, is it not more reliable than a company who knows how many light years away?

Moreover, the company's situation is actually not very good even now.

After getting some information from Lao Wu, Chen Ming had his own considerations for all forces.

Especially companies.

Chen Ming suddenly realized that if he was in the hands of the company, it would actually be a hot potato, or a very hot potato.

Because now many forces know about Chen Ming's situation and understand Chen Ming's ability and value.

Therefore, they are also aware of the hidden dangers brought by Chen Ming's value.

All spaceships controlled by Chen Ming will always be under Chen Ming's control.

Therefore, any force that has something to do with ship building and selling should not touch Chen Ming's brow.

On the contrary, the government or the military should have some ideas about Chen Ming.

Although the sector military definitely wanted him to die, the Fourteenth Legion did not necessarily want him to die.

It's just that their attitude is not clear yet, and they have had conflicts with Chen Ming before. He certainly cannot treat the 14th Legion directly as a friend.

As for Ludzuo Path and their Illumination Research Institute, they must have some ideas about Chen Ming, but this idea is most likely to find an opportunity to blow him up.

But they shouldn't be able to run wild on Yu Hui's territory, so Chen Ming has nothing to say to them.

Speaking of which, Lao Wu also mentioned Tachyon Technology before.

Although Chen Ming didn't know why they paid attention to this and made plans for himself, they also had the same problem as Xinda Company.

They sell spaceships. If Chen Ming joins them, their business will definitely be affected.

I just don’t know what their superiors are thinking.

In short, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and their purposes and methods are also different.

At most, Lao Wu knew the general situation of each force and told Chen Ming so that Chen Ming could take precautions.

But what exactly these forces will do and how they will do it are unknown.

So Chen Ming decided to continue to follow his own ideas.

He doesn't know what other forces are going to do, but how can he still be unclear about his own situation?

He must not let go of the opportunity to take the risk to obtain the most critical existence of Yuhui AI like he did before. If he misses it, it may be a lifetime thing.

Of course, Chen Ming also knew that the treatment he received from Yu Hui would definitely be different from before.

But this is the price he has to bear for what he wants to do, just like Yu Hui chose to take Chen Ming away before and had to bear the price for Chen Ming's troubles.

Chen Ming chose to accept it.

In the final analysis, Chen Ming must consider matters related to Yu Hui when he is here, so that he will not put his life in the hands of others in the future.

As for his thoughts on Yuhui during the entire process of implementing the plan, he was also sure.

His ability is doomed. As long as Yu Hui doesn't completely believe him and open his heart to him, it is absolutely impossible for Yu Hui to have an equal cooperative relationship with Chen Ming.

As long as Yuhui's side is still a force composed of a large number of Yuhui individuals, it will never be possible to completely trust him.

Only individuals can act out of emotion, while power definitely puts interests first.

It is made clear that Sunset individuals have feelings.

But the Afterglow forces, just like human forces, would not have any exchanges with Chen Ming other than their interests because of feelings.

So if Chen Ming really wants to develop a relationship with Yu Hui in the future.

There are only two situations.

The first is for Chen Ming to completely let go of his human identity and regard himself as an individual of Yuhui, contributing to Yuhui's development.

To put it simply, it’s like being a dog for Yu Hui.

But even if he were a dog, would Yu Hui really let down his guard against him?

Chen Ming still felt that this was impossible, so he would never do it. Even when he had this idea, Chen Ming completely crushed it in his mind.

The other situation is the other way around.

If Yu Hui is controlled by Chen Ming, then Chen Ming can give Yu Hui all his trust, which is something Yu Hui absolutely cannot do.

So under such circumstances, Chen Ming had only one idea about Yu Hui.

Control them.

Therefore, his attitude towards Yuhui is also corresponding. It is a kind of cooperation on the surface, but in fact he is ready to stab at any time.

Although Chen Ming knew that Yu Hui's attitude towards him was pretty good.

He was given a suitable working environment, enough materials, and the assignment of tasks was fairly easy. Except for restricting his personal freedom to a certain extent, it was all good.

But it's okay, some things won't change because of your attitude.

Chen Ming's abilities and Yuhui are naturally in conflict with each other.

By controlling the spaceship, one can completely control the afterglow AI on the spacecraft.

Even if we leave the spaceship and are thousands of miles away from Chen Ming, this control will not be eliminated.

From the perspective of Chen Ming's spiritual energy, which is the source of all this, Chen Ming's interests are 100% in conflict with Yu Hui itself.

It's just that Yu Hui can't be sure of this until he has a thorough understanding of Chen Ming.

That's why they had previously dispatched two cruisers to rescue Chen Ming, wanting to develop Chen Ming into one of their own, and they were also willing to exchange some benefits.

But if this matter is completely determined by Yuhui.

What they will do must be something Chen Ming doesn't want to see.

This is the absolutely irreconcilable conflict between him and Yu Hui.

So when Chen Ming finally considered what he wanted to do, he simply dropped the item of peaceful coexistence and cooperation.

The prerequisite for peaceful coexistence is equality of strength.

Chen Ming is not qualified to ask Yu Hui to be peaceful to him now, so he must choose a risky way to do things.

Take the initiative before Yuhui discovers the true nature of his abilities and imposes restrictions that Chen Ming cannot resist.

Although he did feel that it was not a good idea to take the initiative to trick Yu Hui, after all, Yu Hui's attitude was nothing to say, and he did have some psychological burden.

I always feel a little guilty.

Of course, guilt is guilt, and Chen Ming will never hesitate about what he should do.

And to put it bluntly.

If Yuhui is controlled by him and assisted by his abilities, it will be a good thing to a certain extent.

Chen Ming himself was indeed a bit shameless when he said such things.

But if you look at it the other way around, Chen Ming's complete joining of Yuhui will definitely be of great benefit to Yuhui and allow Yuhui's technology to develop by leaps and bounds.

So the situation is basically the same. Yuhui is all gathered under Chen Ming's command. As Chen Ming's subordinate, Chen Ming will naturally not be stingy with his abilities.

Afterglow will also develop.

So what Chen Ming wants to do is very simple and clear.

It is through the five Afterglow AI cores currently controlled by Chen Ming as fire seeds that he will gradually spread his control to the entire galaxy.

The Yuhui AI controlled by Chen Ming will lurk among the Yuhui like a virus and gradually spread.

The entire Yuhui galaxy is under Chen Ming's control.

And in this process, the Yuhui individuals can gradually infiltrate other Yuhui galaxies, repeating the same process as the galaxy where Chen Ming is currently located.

In the end, either Yuhui kills Chen Ming to eliminate future troubles, or Chen Ming completely controls Yuhui and completely controls this Yuhui star field.

What Chen Ming is doing now is all for this goal.

And there will be many, many problems on the way to do this, but he will definitely find a way to solve them.

For example, now.

Yuhui must investigate the details of the mining explosion.

Then Chen Ming actually has to do one thing, wait.

Wait for the results of the investigation, wait for the end of the three Yuhui AIs, only in this way can he reasonably arrange the next plan.

While waiting, Chen Ming can't waste time in vain.

Eggs can't be put in the same basket.

So Chen Ming's other plan, the fleet, also needs to be developed.

Time is fast.

The next morning, Huihuang contacted Chen Ming again.

They disclosed the results of their investigation yesterday to Chen Ming.

The final conclusion of the investigation was that Chen Ming's robot transformation was not perfect, and there were a lot of loopholes and omissions.

The robot would place the mining explosives it carried at different locations irregularly.

And due to the special nature of the explosives, any impact could cause the explosives to be directly detonated.

So it led to a series of situations before.

At least logically.

Chen Ming's careful arrangement gave him an advantage in the final investigation results.

But Chen Ming didn't know what Yu Hui thought and what the truth in their core was.

And Huihuang even continued to give Chen Ming the right to go out, but only imposed some restrictions.

The range of Chen Ming's activities was still several thousand square kilometers around the factory, about the size of a city.

And there was no place in the area that Yu Hui was developing.

Yu Hui's attitude towards Chen Ming was so relaxed that he was quite surprised.

It also made Chen Ming suddenly feel a lot of guilt.

But since he had already started the first step of the plan, he could never stop afterwards.

After cooperating with Huihuang, giving them the ratio of explosives obtained from Lude, and completing the daily task of repairing the strange weapons that Yuhui had just made.

Chen Ming once again had some time to read books.

But he was just pretending to hold the terminal at this time.

His actual consciousness had already gone to a farther place along the panel.

Just now, the Storm Class that Chen Ming had been thinking about for a long time was finally delivered.

And according to Chen Ming's request, the factory director helped Chen Ming arrange people to drive directly to the vicinity of the Dark Cemetery.

Several boat drivers boarded another accompanying frigate to return.

Only the Storm was left in the dark universe.

And soon after, Gamma B, which had been upgraded to Beta class, controlled the Fighter Kai to arrive at the Dark Cemetery and located the location of the Storm.

Although Gamma B is still driving the Fighter Kai, it had just replaced the core before.

And replaced a new destroyer with material rations and some additional temporary material rations given to it by Yuhui because Gamma B escaped from humans.

But Chen Ming asked him to replace it first, so as to avoid an afterglow destroyer approaching the human star field and causing some unnecessary things to happen.

Not long after Gamma B arrived.

An engineering ship belonging to the maintenance factory also arrived here.

This is the engineering ship that Chen Ming drove when he was performing the battlefield cleaning mission before.

Let Lao Wu help to rent it from the factory through legitimate channels.

Later, it will depend on it to temporarily transfer Gamma B to the Storm Class.

As the Fighter Kai gradually approached.

Chen Ming also gradually saw the full picture of the Storm and its details.

The overall appearance of the Storm Class is diamond-shaped.

And it is somewhat special in design, with an asymmetrical hull structure that can often be seen on Tachyon Technology's spacecraft.

It has a medium-sized load-bearing point and relatively thick armor in the front left, and a small flight deck is reserved on the right for fighters to enter and exit.

There is also a medium-sized load-bearing point design behind the flight deck.

At least in terms of the firepower of medium weapons, the escort-level Storm can compare with the destroyer-level Refractor.

In addition, the Storm class also has a universal missile mounting point on the top of the flight deck, which can have different effects when paired with different missiles.

Although the overall size of the Storm is similar to that of the Iron Ore, its combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the Iron Ore even without considering those fighters.

And if you look at the fighters, then it will definitely be able to crush most frigates, and even compete with destroyers.

Although the Storm itself is only a frigate, the Terminator fighter it carries is a drone, which can be designed to be relatively compact.

So there are a total of eight fighters in the Terminator drone fighter squadron that the Storm can carry.

Although it sounds much less than the Cowherd that Chen Ming had touched before.

But the Cowherd itself is an aircraft carrier, and it is also the largest destroyer, which is completely incomparable.

Chen Ming didn't care too much about this.

As long as these fighters can exert their due strength, it is enough.

Each of these Terminator drones can carry two small energy weapons.

And when purchasing, Tachyon Technology sent two weapons to install on the fighter plane.

An IR laser cannon, commonly known as a red laser transmitter, is a beam weapon that can continuously output and continuously put pressure on the enemy's shield.

Although this puts a little pressure on Chen Ming, we can't expect too much from the weapons given.

Another type of PD point defense laser, Chen Ming has an upgraded version of it on other ships. It is a point defense weapon used against fighter jets and anti-missiles. The effect itself is actually average.

But fortunately, the fighter's weapons can be replaced by oneself, so Chen Ming will definitely replace Heavy Rain with better weapons in the future.

Of course, weapons are not the most important thing.

For the Terminator drone, the most important thing is the Terminator core it carries.

And this terminator core has only one biggest effect.

Overload, and extreme overload.

The weapons carried by the spacecraft can exert 1000% of their power, and the power output of the spacecraft's engine can be increased by ten times in just a few seconds.

In the aftermath of the final energy weapon launch, in the glow of the last fighter fuselage, it ends its life.

It sounds more ordinary, and it also looks more like Ludd Zuojing's self-destructing ship.

But drones basically cost nothing except materials.

At the same time, a solid fighter plane with the shape of a small fighter plane, a small fighter plane engine as a propeller, and can carry energy weapons. The explosion power of a fighter plane with a good radiation energy system is definitely higher than that of any missile.

The effect of extreme overload at the necessary moment is absolutely critical.

Of course, if that's all, then Heavy Rain is just a frigate with special abilities.

But if combined with Chen Ming's ability, and with sufficient reserves of materials, Heavy Rain will truly let the enemy experience the terrifying sense of oppression brought by the Heavy Rain at the core of the Terminator.

Chen Ming could probably tell so much just by looking at the appearance and the information Chen Ming had learned before.

For detailed data on heavy rain levels, you still have to look at the panel.

With the cooperation of Gamma B and the assistance of Chen Ming's own abilities, it was not difficult to plug an adapter into the Heavy Rain and insert Gamma B into it.

Soon, a rainstorm-level panel appeared in front of Chen Ming.

[Spaceship Panel]

[Ship name: None]

[Type: Rainstorm-class frigate]

[Radiant energy capacity: 0/1100]

[Radiant energy dissipation: 150]

[Fuel Reserve: 99%]

[Port side weapon: None (medium)]

[Starboard weapon: None (medium)]

[Missile mounting point: None]

[Flight deck: 8/8 (0)]

[Armor: Dolomitic steel alloy layered armor]

[Engine: Tachyon Guard Grade Standardized Engine]

[Built-in cabins: captain's cabin, engine room, bridge control cabin, missile auxiliary operation cabin, living cabin, storage cabin]

[Important equipment: Afterglow beta-level AI core (in operation), Afterglow gamma-level AI core (damaged), control system module (in operation), landing module (in operation), hyperspace channel system module (in operation), High-energy focusing system module (in operation), unmanned fighter auxiliary control module (in operation), ship AI overclocking instrument (in operation), missile accessory module (in operation), full-width shield module (in operation), target positioning system (Running)]

Chen Ming's eyes instantly focused on something that should not appear on the panel.

Afterglow Gamma Level AI Core (Damaged).

On the Rainstorm level panel, two AI cores appeared.

Chen Ming knows that Beta level is Gamma B, but what is the situation with the AI ​​core of this Gamma level?

Chen Ming immediately opened the three-dimensional imaging of heavy rain.

Then he found a gamma AI core installed in a small independent space in the center of the Heavy Rain-class ship.

And inside this small space, it is obvious that a large number of restriction means were placed during the design, which can directly cause damage to the gamma AI core.
