Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

The effects of psychic pulse are extraordinary for ordinary people.

Everyone in the room instantly covered their heads and collapsed, even the two patrol members.

Chen Ming immediately drew his gun and climbed out from behind the bunker, approaching the military man who was lying on the ground.

Old Wu knew from the beginning that Chen Ming had been tinkering with something on the workbench, so he quickly followed Chen Ming when he encountered the military man who suddenly fell down without warning.

The factory director was stunned for a moment without reacting at all, and was reminded by Lao Wu before he followed.

Chen Ming took the lead in checking the fallen military men.

Make sure they have the willpower to be as strong as the guard at the exhibition hall before, and can stand up after resisting the psychic pulse.

The factory director and Lao Wu moved the two patrol members who had fainted together into the workshop and briefly treated their injuries.

And Chen Ming also confirmed that all the military personnel were unconscious, and no one was still conscious.

It can only be said that he once again experienced the power of the spiritual pulse.

Although the scope of application of psychic pulse on the cosmic scale is not large.

And the types of materials that need to be repaired after each use are complex.

In addition, Chen Ming estimated that the range of action was only about 500 meters in diameter.

Has various shortcomings.

But just in the place where he is now, the actual effect of psychic pulse is extremely exaggerated.

It can only be said that psychic energy is the best way for a person like Chen Ming, who has no fighting ability, to deal with threats from close range.

An ability that instantly reverses a dilemma. Even if the mind wave generator has shortcomings that Chen Ming has not discovered, as long as it still has such an effect and has no fatal flaws, then no matter how much Chen Ming invests in it, it is not too much.

After confirming that no one in the military would wake up within a short period of time.

Chen Ming went back to the workshop and found some ropes on the shelves that had basically everything in the workshop.

Everyone outside is already unconscious and has no ability to resist. There is absolutely no need to kill them directly.

Instead, it would be better to disarm these people first, tie them up, and interrogate them later.

It’s just that Chen Ming just tied up a few people.

The sound of metal twisting and tearing suddenly came from the other side of the second underground floor.

Chen Ming immediately became alert and rushed to the corner of the corridor outside the workroom.

Take the camera function of the terminal and lean out to observe the environment.

At this time, the smoke on the second underground floor has not completely dissipated.

Chen Ming could only barely see a heavy powered armor tearing open the blocked door on the other side of the safety passage.

In an environment where only the emergency lights were on, with a full sense of oppression, like a rampaging tank, he quickly approached the location of the workshop.

"Heavy power armor? Be careful."

Chen Ming reminded the factory director and Lao Wu behind him, and pressed his hand on the psychic wave generator again, expecting to press it at any time.

However, after the factory director noticed what Chen Ming saw, he immediately put his hand on Chen Ming's arm.

"We are one of our own, we are safe."

The factory director took the initiative to signal, then waved to the other end of the corridor, put away his weapon, took off his helmet and walked out.

"It's me, Lu Shengsi."

Chen Ming tightened his grip on the gun slightly.

It wasn't until he saw the man wearing heavy power armor that he stopped and pressed a false button on the guard behind who didn't know the identity of the factory director, making everyone put down their guard.

Chen Ming also relaxed and put the pistol back into its holster.

The man wearing heavy power armor approached again and asked the factory director: "How is the situation?"

When Chen Ming heard this somewhat familiar voice, he recalled it and remembered that he had heard this voice before during the factory director's meeting.

This tough man wearing central power armor is the director of the Space Station Administration.

Chen Ming was a little surprised. He originally thought that the director would be a greasy and grumpy middle-aged man, but he didn't expect that the actual difference was so big.

However, he quickly got rid of the original image in his mind and remembered the image of this heavy power armor in his mind.

Although he was not interested in what kind of person the director was, the power armor he wore was completely different.

In Chen Ming's mind, psychic energy is his best way to deal with close-range threats, so a set of powerful heavy-duty power armor is definitely the second most useful way.

If you can get a set, then Chen Ming

Wait a minute, it seems like it’s actually possible.

The director's power armor must be a product of the company. If Chen Ming wants a set in the future, it shouldn't be a problem.

Chen Ming stared at the power armor on the director's body for a few times. Although he couldn't hold it any longer, he still withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, he was not in a hurry to go out and left the explanation of the situation to the factory director.

While listening, he continued to tie up the unconscious people on the ground.

When the factory director faced the director's question, he immediately took the director to the deepest part of the corridor.

He said to the people lying on the ground here: "All the intruders have been dealt with. We were the ones who set the psychic pulse just now."

The director casually kicked the military man lying on the ground and said, "Yeah, not bad."

Then he contacted several of his men outside through the equipment inside the helmet.

After a few brief explanations, the director directed the guards behind him to follow and began to capture those who had sneaked into the management office together.

Soon, the administration's alarm stopped, all the previously paralyzed internal equipment began to restart, and the smoke that had been unable to be discharged from the interior was gradually fading away.

With so many people around to protect him, Chen Ming relaxed a little and stopped being overly vigilant.

While the guards were still dealing with the unconscious people and the corpses piled up here, Chen Ming asked the factory director who was also idle next to him: "If the military attacks the management office like this, will there be any consequences?"

The factory director replied as if he was well prepared: "Although we all know that this matter was done by the military, the military will definitely not admit it and there will be no obvious clues left."

"Even if there is a direct attack on our pirate space station administration, there is no problem in name for the military, but actually doing so requires considerations beyond just the name."

"So, the military's credibility will definitely plummet after this incident."

"The specific consequences will depend on the confrontation between senior officials."

"But this has nothing to do with us. Our first priority now is to safely send you to the star capital."

"But one thing is certain. The military will suffer a lot from this matter. The exact amount of losses will depend on the performance of the superiors, and you."

It was about the same time that the director of the administration arrived at the second underground floor with the guards.

Inside the hotel room where the military team is located, which is relatively close to the administration building.

Several members of the military team were silently watching the content transmitted back in real time from the monitoring screen on the hacker team's computer.

As the surveillance video just returned the scene of everyone falling down in an instant, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

Only the captain was the first to speak at this time: "This is a spiritual pulse. I didn't expect that the Administration would even be willing to give such a thing to Chen Ming."

"Sigh... the mission is a complete failure. The administration is on guard. We can't find another chance on the space station."

Xia Chao couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do? Are we really going to dig coal?"

"It would be great if you could dig coal for us. Let's go now and see if there are any other opportunities later."

The other members of the military team did not express any opinions and just packed up their belongings silently.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the hotel room door.

"Hello, your dinner order has arrived."

The captain was stunned for a moment, then raised his gun and shot Tian Jiwen in the head, who had been tied up for a while.

And immediately pointed the gun at the door.

Before he could fire a second shot, countless bullets were fired directly into the room from outside the hotel room door.

Another fight broke out at the hotel after the chaos at the administration subsided.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Ming, who just walked into the director's office.

After following the director into his office, the director continued to lead Chen Ming and others into an independent lounge next to the office.

At the same time, three new guards were arranged for Chen Ming to protect him personally.

The previously injured patrol member was sent to the infirmary inside the administration building.

To a certain extent, the management office's infirmary has better technology than hospitals outside. Coupled with the medical technology of the space age, it is not difficult to treat his burns.

After settling Chen Ming, the director said to Chen Ming: "Please wait here for the time being. The corresponding spacecraft will arrive in eleven hours. When the spacecraft arrives, I will escort you there safely."

With that said, the director summoned his secretary and said, "If you need anything, you can ask him to arrange it for you. I still have things to do."

If such a vicious incident occurs within the administration, a thorough investigation must be carried out from top to bottom.

As the director, he naturally needs to be on the front line of work.

Therefore, Chen Ming had no objection to the director leaving.

It's just that Chen Ming still feels a little uneasy in his heart.

Although the director said he would protect him, the heavy power armor could indeed give people a heavy sense of security.

But Chen Ming felt that the military would not give up just because of this matter, so it still had to make some preparations in advance.

And there is something suitable to give out now.

"Wait a mininute."

Hearing Chen Ming's voice, the director turned back and asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Ming took out the terminal and called up a file on it.

This was previously found in the terminal of the dead soldier whose escape capsule was stuck on the spacecraft. There was evidence of stimulant smuggling at the military outpost.

In fact, on the way here, Chen Ming already wanted to hand this thing over to the factory director.

Let the factory director transfer it to the chairman of the board.

However, the factory director said he could not contact the chairman,

It is said that the board of directors is about to be held and the chairman must go and chair it.

This time the board of directors mainly focused on two matters, one was a Chen Ming matter and the other was a military matter.

In a sense, it is all related to Chen Ming.

So the chairman couldn't be contacted, so the factory director directly asked Chen Ming to tell the director about the matter.

The director above the director and the director are not the same.

Although Chen Ming didn't know why, in short, as long as this thing was given out, it would definitely cause some trouble to the military.

With this evidence, anyone can legally challenge the military.

And those who have the means can even directly use the military's internal reporting channel to make soldiers involved in smuggling have a drink.

Although smuggling is actually a tacit understanding among the major forces in private, once this kind of thing comes to light, someone must be responsible for it.

The director took the terminal from Chen Ming's hand and carefully checked the contents of the smuggling list.

While the director was reading the documents, Chen Ming asked the director's secretary for something to eat.

It was noon when Chen Ming returned from the capital of the Star Territory. On the way back, he just grabbed some compressed food to satisfy his hunger.

It was almost evening now, but there were still eleven hours to wait.

Waiting until three or four o'clock in the morning the next day, if I don't replenish some energy, I'm afraid there will be problems.

After the secretary brought the food, the factory director almost read all the contents on the smuggling list and checked all the relevant information directly in the office.

Concluded that this list is all correct.

The director returned the terminal to Chen Ming and said, "The smuggling list even includes a cargo list accurate to the location and time. How detailed is it? Where did you get it?"

Chen Ming naturally couldn't say that he got it on Yuhui's boat, so he casually said: "I picked it up."

The expression under the director's helmet was slightly complicated.

His usual attitude towards doing things made him not very accepting of Chen Ming's ambiguous answer.

But he is not Chen Ming's direct boss, and his subsequent relationship with Chen Ming is not necessarily that of superior or subordinate.

So he didn't express anything, nor did he show any opinions on Chen Ming.

He just said based on the contents of the smuggling list that Chen Ming showed him: "This list is very important."

"It will give the company a better advantage in handling matters related to the military."

"If this thing is passed back, the entire military outpost may need to undergo a wave of blood changes."

"At this point in time, combined with the previous incident, we can at least temporarily suspend the military outpost, which is very helpful for your safety."

The director also knew that Chen Ming was definitely not bringing out this list to bargain.

So he said to the guards waiting outside the office: "Zhang Ji, you will take over my task next."

A guard standing at the front of the guard team saluted into the office.

He quickly left the office with the other guards.

The director took Chen Ming behind his desk and asked Chen Ming to connect the terminal to his computer.

"I will help you send this list to the company directors. The impact of this list should be reflected soon."

"good."

Just when Chen Ming gave the director a clear reply.

Chen Ming suddenly discovered that there was movement on the armor-breaking side that he had been paying attention to.

When Chen Ming drove the spaceship back to the pirate space station, engineers from Sinda Company had already installed a large-scale weapon provided by the government, an automatic pulse laser, on the armor-breaking weapon.

As well as four other weapons on medium-sized load-bearing points, two energy weapons called heavy impact cannons, and two ion beams that Chen Ming was very familiar with.

After installing weapons on the armor-breaking class and debugging them.

It has now been sent to a cruiser-class heavy cargo ship named Colossus that Chen Ming had seen in Yuhui.

And the location where the armor-breaking class was placed in the cargo hold on the cargo ship was just at the edge of the cargo hold.

It just so happened that Chen Ming was actually relatively lacking in combat effectiveness at this time.

Although the military is unlikely to directly attack the fleet, but in case it happens, a spaceship with sufficient combat effectiveness is still necessary for Chen Ming.

So now is actually the best time for Chen Ming to steal the boat.

It's just that the purpose of this cargo ship and the cargo fleet where the cargo ship is located can be roughly guessed based on Chen Ming's previous hearing that the government wanted to test the armor-breaking class.

Their destination should be a colony closest to the military outpost and also closest to the pirate space station.

This is a mining colony. The main purpose of the government's cargo caravans in the past should have been regular supply of supplies and taking away materials from the colony. Sending the A-level ones there was just incidental.

But no matter what, it is correct that the cargo ship will take the initiative to approach Chen Ming with an armor-breaking class.

Chen Ming could actually wait for the cargo ship to arrive.

But the problem is that the armor-breaking level needs to follow the caravan.

The sailing speed of the caravan must be based on the slowest ship in the caravan.

With the cruiser Colossus Cargo Ship, the speed of the caravan in hyperspace will definitely not reach the maximum speed.

In addition, the cargo ship may need to stop at a colony passing by on the way, so the speed of delivery should be slower than when Chen Ming personally drove the spaceship back. It is not certain how long the delay will be, but it will certainly not be shorter.

And if the armor-breaking class is really successfully delivered to the colony for the caravan, then Chen Ming may not be able to find an opportunity to attack the spacecraft.

but.

Just when Chen Ming discovered that there was movement in the armor-breaking class, the cargo ship it was on had just set off from the star capital colony.

At this time, it has reached the edge of the galaxy and is about to enter the hyperspace channel.

This is simply a God-given opportunity, the best opportunity.

The spacecraft's weapons have all been installed and the fuel has been filled.

Chen Ming did not dare to use the large weapons on the bow of the armor-breaking class ship directly inside the ship, but the remaining four medium-sized weapons were enough to open a door on the Colossus from inside the ship.

Chen Ming did not hesitate and decisively activated the armor-breaking heavy impact cannon.

As can be seen outside the spacecraft, the Colossus cargo ship was suddenly severely damaged close to the right front of the ship.

The news that the spacecraft's weapons accidentally fired was also sent to the captain's office.

The captain who drives the Colossus cargo ship is also an old captain who has worked in the government for decades.

When there was a sudden unexpected situation, he did not panic and calmly arranged different tasks for the personnel in various parts of the spacecraft.

The most important of these is naturally to confirm the damage to the hull and the loss of internal cargo.

"The external side of the cargo bay was basically completely destroyed, and the armor-breaking armor leaked from the cargo bay."

The captain immediately clicked twice on the console in front of him and said: "Received, immediately organize towing ships to re-fix the armor-breaking class."

"Wait a minute, what's going on? The spaceship is flying by itself?"

"What?"

The captain was sure that he heard correctly and immediately asked other people on the bridge to put the surveillance camera in his place.

Then he saw the armor-breaking class directly activate the hyperspace channel system and enter hyperspace after leaving the fleet.

"Is there anyone on board?"

"Impossible! The destroyer needs at least a dozen people to be able to barely operate it. It's impossible for a dozen people hiding in the cargo hold to hide from the person responsible for inspection."

The captain immediately took out the terminal, preparing to skip the troublesome reporting system and report the strange situation directly to his superiors.

At the same time, he was also arranging work for the deputy next to him: "Notify the escort fleet immediately and let them find a way to track the armor-breaking class ship."

The young-looking deputy immediately said, "Yes, but can they catch up?"

The captain shook his head and said: "Xuan, if the spacecraft reaches full speed in hyperspace for a few seconds, it will be worth flying in a normal environment for several months."

"The spacecraft suddenly entered the channel. There is basically no chance that it can be recovered. I just don't know if there is a positioning system installed on the ship. Maybe it can be of some use."

"Okay, hurry up and notify. The longer you wait, the lower the chance of finding an armor-breaking one."

The deputy nodded quickly and left the captain's side.

The captain looked at the location where the armor-piercing class disappeared on the monitor, squinting his eyes and seeming to be thinking about something.

At this time, the armor-breaking class, which had successfully entered the hyperspace channel, had also successfully accelerated to the ultimate speed in hyperspace.

Although the government did install a positioning system on the armor-breaking class, the entire spacecraft was under Chen Ming's control. There was no difference between whether it was installed or not.

Coupled with the limit speed limit in hyperspace, even if the positioning system really works, other ships have no chance of catching up to the armor-breaking class.

All that's left is for the armor-breaking class to fly along the channel. When passing through the government colony system, it may be arrested by the patrol team in the hyperspace channel.

But Chen Ming can also choose to jump directly out of the hyperspace channel when approaching a galaxy, and use the normal cosmic environment to bypass dangerous galaxies.

In a normal space environment, the armor-breaking speed is not as slow as that of an unmodified Iron Ore.

Jumping out of the hyperlane and re-entering the hyperlane after circling the system doesn't take much time.

If it's really too late, Chen Ming can also choose a more risky but faster way.

Go directly from outside the hyperspace channel, that is, to the dangerous area filled with hyperspace channel clouds and hyperspace lightning.

As for the spaceship, Chen Ming can remotely repair it by consuming mental power.

Forcibly breaking into the dangerous area of ​​the hyperspace channel is actually an option for Chen Ming, who can make unlimited repairs as long as he has all the materials.

The final destination of the armor-breaking class was determined by Chen Ming to be at the space station.

Although he is going to the capital of the star region next, it is not easy for this armor-breaking ship to appear in front of the government or companies.

Moreover, Chen Ming is in a hurry to break through the A level just because he lacks a guarantee of combat effectiveness.

If everything goes well and the company receives him without any accidents, then there will be no problem for Chen Ming to send the ship directly to the dark cemetery.

When the time comes, hand the ship over to Gamma B for control.

Chen Ming will be able to own two destroyers indirectly controlled through Afterglow AI.

Moreover, Gamma AB is about to be promoted and become a Beta-level afterglow individual.

The capabilities of the two spaceships completely under Chen Ming's control are definitely much higher than those of the spacecraft that Chen Ming only indirectly controls through AI.

Although Chen Ming chose to accept the company's invitation, he should mainly stay with the company in the prosperous star field.

But it's not like he signed a contract of sale.

With the help of hyperspace channels and even star gates, it is not difficult to take a trip to the edge star field.

Chen Ming is a psychic and an extremely important person to the company, as long as he shows his due abilities after joining the company for the second time.

With the permission to use the Star Gate, he believes that the company will definitely solve it for him.

certainly.

The premise of everything Chen Ming is thinking now is that the next things will go smoothly.
