Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

As the Grand Archon agreed to the Minister of Psychic Power's request.

A group of researchers from the Imperial Fanchao Research Institute signed a secret contract, and went to the Origin Galaxy with the necessary equipment and curiosity about the unknown.

Although the answers to their curiosity were not happy answers, at least their curiosity was definitely satisfied.

After all, Chen Ming had not undergone standard psychic tests so far, and they would be the first batch.

Although only Chen Ming's body, not a complete person, was to be tested, this was also a valuable opportunity.

In addition.

In the galaxy where Chen Ming lost contact, there were also researchers from the Empire who were sent there.

The originally stable space rift here was torn "personally" by Chen Ming, exposing a chaotic and distorted space.

Chen Ming seemed to have sent people to conduct some investigations, but no space station was set up, so the Empire had a reasonable excuse to occupy this place for research.

Under the promotion of the minister, the research results here will be shared through the internal information exchange channels of Fanchao.

Assist Chen Ming's colony in the research on the mark on Chen Ming's hand.

Under the circumstances that the Empire was completely unreserved and did not even delve into the specific content of the research project.

The research progress on the mark grew rapidly.

In just three days, the dispatched researcher Fan Chao had confirmed that the source of the power of the mark engraved on Chen Ming's hand was inside the black hole dimension, and had no connection with Chen Ming's own power.

At the same time, it was confirmed that the power of the mark was similar to the psychic power of the plane nightmare.

In addition, it was confirmed that the psychic power structure of the mark contained psychic fluctuations similar to the psychic power structure inside the spirit stone.

If a powerful psychic creature dies with strong emotions, there will be special psychic fluctuations left.

These residual fluctuations are often stored in various stone objects.

If there are no stone materials around, then there is a great probability that this fluctuation will dissipate directly, and there is also a very small probability that it will be stored in non-stone objects.

This should be the first time that it appears on a person, but it is not impossible as long as the dead psychic creature is strong enough.

With this information, it can basically be inferred.

After entering the black hole dimension, Chen Ming killed a plane nightmare that was more powerful than the plane nightmare that invaded the normal universe.

And this plane nightmare has a great probability of being powerful enough to master the power of time.

And before dying, it used its last power to "curse" Chen Ming, leaving this mark.

God knows how Chen Ming managed to kill a creature that mastered the power of time, but judging from the characteristics of the mark, this is the fact. .

Then, perhaps because of the negative impact of the mark, Chen Ming temporarily abandoned this body.

Therefore, the body came back earlier than the consciousness.

No wonder Chen Ming could repel the queen with only a body without consciousness and only fighting instinct.

This is the reason.

As long as Chen Ming's consciousness can come back, the war between humans and the survivors can be won.

As more and more information about Chen Ming is obtained, the attitudes of the researchers who were originally a little discouraged after learning about their research goals in Chen Ming's colony have become more and more positive.

The one-sided communication with the chaotic space is becoming more and more frequent. It seems that real results will be achieved soon, bringing Chen Ming's consciousness out of that chaotic dimension.

Internal affairs are thriving, and the external situation has also improved in recent times. Although the improvement is not too much, it has improved after all.

Not only in the war between the Empire and the Survivors and the Queen, but also in the war between the Empire and the Mechanical Race.

In the marginal star field of the Empire, the Galo Star Field.

The army commanded by Baiquan has now recaptured the Galo Star Field and stationed in the star field that was once the branch of the Legion.

This means that the fleet controlled by Baiquan's army has rushed out of the border of the Empire and occupied the star field once occupied by the Mechanical Race. After all, only in this way can the safety of the soldiers entering the neural connection device in the Galo Star Field be guaranteed.

The armies of the surrounding star fields have also taken steps to recover lost territory with his cooperation.

All the generals who can persist in such a high-intensity war are constantly breaking through their limits, constantly growing on their original limits, and mastering more powerful command techniques.

And because of the survivors' nano fleet, the Empire has recently developed various technologies that can significantly improve the armed forces of the Empire's army.

Many of these technologies will be used in the conflict with the nano fleet for testing.

Those that are effective will continue to be developed and equipped.

And those that are ineffective will not be thrown away directly, but will be thrown into the mechanical battlefield for secondary testing after certain targeted modifications.

As the spearhead in the direction of the Galo star field, Baiquan can naturally obtain the most technical reinforcements.

The mechanical race in this direction has been completely forced out of the Empire.

Especially after Chen Ming came back, the intelligence network of the mechanical race seemed to have successfully investigated this news.

Not only did the offensive slow down, but they even took the initiative to give the Empire a buffer zone in many places.

The Omega core seems to be afraid.

Baiquan can understand it very well.

If he were a mechanical race, he would also be afraid, especially when the mechanical race has a core that coordinates everything.

If the core has a problem, the entire mechanical race will be completely destroyed.

So far, the intensity of the war between the Empire and the Mechanical Race has begun to slow down.

All the generals and soldiers who have been in the war have finally had a chance to breathe.

Baiquan, who was already a little emaciated, is gradually recovering his health. At least he is not as weak as before due to the long-term use of neuron connection devices, which requires the brain to be highly active for a long time.

And from the current situation.

There will be at least 72 hours of stability in the Galo star field recently, and there will be no foreign invasion.

Baiquan can finally leave the front line for a short time and rest for a few days.

He needs to adjust his own state and prepare for the next war.

However, just when Baiquan handed over his work and was about to go back to his residence to sleep for a few days.

His terminal suddenly received a message from an unknown source.

There was no information from the sender, only a special record.

It recorded the whole process of the conflict between Chen Ming's body and the Queen.

Including these videos of Chen Ming walking out of the shuttle with lifeless eyes, fighting with the Queen, and being almost torn into pieces under the Queen's attack.

And a text explaining Chen Ming's current situation.

Bai Quan was also very curious why Chen Ming didn't come to see him after he came back, or at least call him to chat.

But after Huihuang contacted him specifically later, he had no problem.

But now...

Bai Quan immediately gave up the idea of ​​resting and immediately confirmed with others through his circle of contacts.

After more than ten minutes of investigation and questioning, he found that at least one-third of the prominent figures in the empire had received this inexplicable news from an unknown source.

Obviously, the empire leaked extremely important high-level information.

And the "person" who announced this news could only be the Queen.

After all, the only two people in the entire universe who recorded Chen Ming's complete combat posture after his return at close range were Tian Zhan and the Queen.

This news is obviously not good for Chen Ming, and Tian Zhan would not do it.

Who did it is clear at a glance.

It seems that the queen is really scared, otherwise she would never use this method to try to disintegrate the empire from within.

The principle can be guessed casually. It relies on nanorobots hidden in various parts of the empire that cannot be observed by the naked eye, and even many devices may not be able to detect them.

And one hour after Chen Ming's information was disclosed.

Baiquan's terminal received a new message again.

This time the news is not related to Baiquan, but the news of another faction in the legion that has conflicts with Baiquan.

Moreover, all of them are those messages that cannot see the light of day.

Baiquan immediately understood what the survivors were trying to do.

This is to force internal conflicts in the empire.

Many things are hidden in the dark and no one will go into them deeply. In many cases, it may not be good for oneself to go into them deeply.

But if this kind of thing is put on the surface, the problem will be a little bigger.

But it's just a little bit.

Looking at the empire, no one's ass is clean. As long as nothing that really breaks the bottom line is revealed, all of these can be ignored.

If there is, the Grand Consul will definitely deal with the person without mercy at this moment. The saying that "in troubled times, heavy punishments" is not at all inconsistent with the current situation of the empire.

And anyone with a brain knows what is most important at this time

If there are still people who don't have a brain, then many people will help him grow up.

Of course, this is for those things that cannot be put on the table.

The situation is a little different for the matter related to Chen Ming that has been put on the table.

Many people know how to deal with it after knowing the news about Chen Ming and know the best response plan.

But not everyone can restrain the wrong thoughts and use the best response plan.

Two hours after Chen Ming's information was disclosed.

Chen Ming's colony and the capital of the empire held a meeting at the same time.

After discussing and confirming that it was the Queen's plan, Chen Ming's colony adjourned the meeting directly. Huihuang will change the way of cooperation with Fan Chao in the future. There is nothing else to say.

In the meeting of the top leaders of the empire, the situation is obviously very different.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room is very tense.

"Obviously, the attitude of the survivors towards the Empire has changed significantly. They no longer look down on us."

"Their civilization has begun to start a war from the civilization itself."

The infiltration of nanomachines has actually always been within the Empire's expectations.

After all, it is really difficult to detect nanomachines within the Empire.

If nanomachines can infiltrate, it is possible to kill the top leaders of the Empire.

But unless all the top leaders of the entire Empire are killed together, the people will soon fill up, which is basically meaningless.

And who among the top leaders of the Empire does not have psychic guards?

Although there are relatively few level 5 and 6 psychics in the Empire, there are a lot of level 3 psychics in the Empire, and there can be a lot of level 4 psychics.

It is still possible to guard against sneak attacks from some nanorobots that cannot have enough numbers to infiltrate the Empire.

In the absence of a large-scale assassination of the top leaders of the Empire,

the survivors chose to use this method to disgust the Empire.

To be honest, it is really surprising, but it is reasonable to think about it carefully.

At the same time, it also makes all the people in the empire who can understand the purpose of the queen's doing so very worried.

Before the meeting started, some people began to worry about problems.

After all, the facts are there. Chen Ming has not communicated with the outside world since he came back, and his colony has been hiding something.

What came back was only Chen Ming's body, without self-awareness, just a pure tool.

On Chen Ming's side, the only high-level combat force died in battle not long ago.

Will anyone... have special ideas?

Many people's eyes wandered on the faces of the people in the conference room, but no one would write their thoughts on their faces.

The meeting continued, and the discussion about Chen Ming's situation soon began at the meeting.

However, this development did not last too long, because at the meeting, the commander of the First Legion suddenly said: "Perhaps it is best to let Chen Ming maintain his current state. He can become the guardian of the empire."

The conference room was quiet in an instant.

This is what many people are worried about, and it is probably the scene that the queen wants to see the most.

Moreover... although the First Legion is an independent legion of the Empire, it can be regarded as the legion closest to the Empire itself, that is, the closest to the Grand Archon, together with the Second Legion.

The First Legion came out to speak, does this mean...

The Minister of Psionics who participated in the holographic projection tapped the table and said, "Opposition."

He did not give more reasons, but just expressed his attitude.

This situation made the people present even more frightened. The first and second in command of the Empire had different ideas, and there might even be a conflict.

This situation made everyone feel worried uncontrollably.

The Grand Archon suddenly spoke: "Xu Lei, you are quite old."

Several exclamations rang out uncontrollably in the conference room.

The demeanor of Xu Lei, the commander of the First Legion, changed instantly, becoming somewhat unbelievable.

The Grand Archon emphasized again: "Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

Xu Lei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he looked into the eyes of the Grand Archon and didn't dare to continue.

After nodding his head, he left the conference room directly.

The Grand Archon expressed his attitude in the most direct, ruthless, and even the most damaging way to his own power.

This would hurt many people in the First Legion and many people close to the Grand Archon, but he still did it.

The meeting continued.

The Empire insisted on the original plan with a resolute attitude. The research experiment on Chen Ming that was originally hidden was made public, and more people could be called in to investigate the black hole dimension and the imprint.

The attempt of the survivors that was not a frontal battlefield was easily resolved.

It even became a help for Chen Ming's consciousness to return.

And here in Chen Ming's colony.

After participating in the research on the imprint for a period of time, Tian Zhan had no intention of continuing to participate in the experiment.

On the fifth night after Chen Ming's body returned, he left home after coaxing his daughter to sleep.

He took a shuttle to leave the colony through the star gate.

Huihuang appeared like a shadow, and asked with the help of the shuttle's communication equipment: "Are you going again?"

"Well, my spirit has almost recovered, and I have to give it a try. I can feel him there every time, so I have to go."

Huanghuang warned: "It's not safe outside these days. The queen has completely torn her face and let go of her posture."

"I know that she has been relying on her psychic power to enter the empire and attack everywhere in recent days."

It can only be said that in the face of the survival of the race, the face of the strongest is not important at all. The face she loses will become the respect of the civilization she leads.

In short, the queen is shameless to repeatedly arrive in the empire to cause damage, both ordinary galaxies and military galaxies have been affected.

And the empire really has no effective countermeasures.

Chen Ming's body will not react to things that happen too far away.

The empire has no way to send Chen Ming's body before the queen arrives, causes damage and leaves.

Even with the president's psychic power, it won't work.

Once the president's psychic power delivers Chen Ming's body, the queen will directly abandon all targets and evacuate. She has a good grasp of Chen Ming's state.

There were even a few times when the empire had only a few level 6 psychics blocking the queen, and the queen didn't want to fight them head-on.

Even if there is a high probability of winning, she will never take risks.

Some important galaxies in the empire are well protected, information is not leaked, and nanomachines cannot penetrate, so the queen will not trouble these galaxies.

Although there is no loss at present, problems will arise sooner or later.

No one knows where the queen's next target will be.

This is what Huihuang is worried about.

However, Tian Zhan is not worried and asked, "Will you watch me?"

"Yes."

"Isn't that enough?"
