Chapter 101 Special Treatment, Reason for Success

The next day.

Chen Ming received the brilliant message at 8 o'clock in the morning of Earth standard time.

A complete work list was sent to the computer of the Iron Mine.

Although the list listed a very detailed page of work tasks, Chen Ming took a rough look and found that it was generally very simple and clear.

On the first day of formal work, Chen Ming only needed to familiarize himself with the factory environment, the factory equipment, and the future work process.

Although Chen Ming mainly relied on spiritual power to work, the premise of tasks such as transformation still required Chen Ming to spend time learning transformation technology, and learning required the use of these equipment.

So what should be familiar should be familiar, and it will definitely be useful in the future.

After today, Chen Ming's real work will begin.

Basically, he works in the morning and gives Chen Ming time to learn technology in the afternoon, which seems to be quite easy.

In addition, the list also states that Chen Ming will be given some material subsidies for learning and practicing the learned technology.

However, Yu Hui will also regularly check the technology mastered by Chen Ming. If it does not pass, the supply of materials will be reduced accordingly.

This treatment is really like the company's treatment of employees, which makes it difficult for Chen Ming not to have a sense of déjà vu.

However, Chen Ming did not care too much.

After continuing to look at the work location on the work list, it was inside the three factories outside.

He put on the protective clothing, closed the protective panels of the spacecraft's portholes, and prepared to set off.

However, just after the protective panels of the spacecraft were completely lowered, Chen Ming suddenly found that the factory outside had undergone very obvious changes.

The transformation of the robots and mechanical equipment in various parts of the factory yesterday has been completed.

Some semi-open factories are now fully closed, and the three factories that were originally independent of each other have now built fast lanes in different factory rooms.

It will definitely be very convenient to move between each other.

Chen Ming could not see the other transformations, and he had to understand them in detail after entering.

Chen Ming sorted out his protective clothing, and also took Xiao Shi, who had not appeared for a long time, and walked off the spacecraft.

He had already roughly understood the situation of the three factories yesterday.

They are the production factories of weapons, ships and fuel.

This was originally a small supply point for Yu Hui.

After Chen Ming came, it was isolated from other places and used as a workplace for Chen Ming.

While providing Chen Ming with a better working environment, it can also prevent Chen Ming from taking the opportunity to go to nearby factories to cause trouble.

Chen Ming came to the factory in the center of the three factories. At this time, its main door was closed.

However, there was a small door next to it.

It was a separate compartment.

After entering the compartment, the door behind Chen Ming closed.

Originally, there was nothing in the ears except some slight vibrations, but suddenly I heard the sound of the equipment in the factory running.

The air was being replenished inside the compartment.

Chen Ming looked down at the gas quality detector of the protective suit, which showed three lines of content.

Habitable air environment.

No lethal gas.

No pathogenic microorganisms.

On a planet without an atmosphere and belonging to the afterglow that does not require breathing, such an environment can be said to be quite good for people.

Is this the purpose of the factory's transformation yesterday?

The other two factories were also closed, and there should be similar transformations.

Yu Hui is really...

Chen Ming sighed a little. He didn't get such treatment when he first joined the company.

Chen Ming shook his head, tried to take off his helmet, and breathed the air in the factory.

Although inside the factory, the air didn't smell strange. At most, it had a heavy metallic smell, but this was inevitable in the factory, and Chen Ming couldn't be too demanding.

Holding the helmet to his side, Xiao Shi pulled the edge of the helmet and looked at the new environment outside curiously, looking eager to try.

And Chen Ming picked up the terminal and looked at the factory map sent along with the work list.

The location of the factory control room can be seen on the map. Three factories share one control room.

But Chen Ming didn't go there immediately because he saw another thing.

Refrigerated food storage.

This thing can be said to be quite incompatible with Yu Hui.

Anyway, today's task is to familiarize yourself with the working environment and work process. The cold storage is in the factory and should be considered part of the working environment.

Chen Ming followed the passage that had been left after the renovation and arrived at the cold storage smoothly. He stood at the door of the cold storage.

It was different from the empty shelves that Chen Ming saw when he opened the cold storage of the mining space station half a year ago.

After the cold storage of the factory was opened, Chen Ming saw a large amount of food supplies that almost filled all the shelves of the cold storage.

If Chen Ming remembered correctly, there was no habitable planet in the galaxy where he was currently.

In other words, if you want food, you have to transport it from other places.

Yu Hui really gave Chen Ming a very good working environment.

Chen Ming closed the door of the cold storage and continued to look at the map.

The structures of the other two factories are basically the same as the spaceship factory where Chen Ming is now. Except for the lack of cold storage and the main control room, and some differences in the internal equipment, the general structure is similar.

Chen Ming wandered around the other two factories and returned to the spaceship factory after confirming the environment.

Came to the factory's main control room.

This is a room with complex control panels on one side and various work equipment on the other side, and even some items for Chen Ming to rest in the corner.

Chen Ming didn't pay attention to the side, but went straight to the control panel.

Then he found that although the panels looked complicated and headache, in fact, these panels themselves and their functions were very familiar to Chen Ming.

It was basically the same as the equipment in the maintenance plant, and although it was equipment modified by Yu Hui, most of the operating habits were based on humans.

Chen Ming tried to operate it.

Through the control panel, he can observe all situations including the other two factories.

All control permissions of the three factories are also integrated here, and all equipment can be controlled by Chen Ming.

In addition, in the database linked to the control panel, Chen Ming also saw a specially marked, complete and more detailed task arrangement of Chen Ming, that is, more detailed task requirements.

And tomorrow morning's work is to repair a batch of weapons that have been stored in the warehouse.

Although Chen Ming controls the factory and can use the factory's equipment to complete it, Yu Hui obviously does not want to see Chen Ming use the equipment to repair, but wants to see how Chen Ming's spiritual power will achieve the effect of control maintenance and transformation.

These equipment in the factory are more used for learning as Chen Ming thought before.

Yu Hui specially gave Chen Ming time to study in the afternoon, and even entered some professional books on Yu Hui technology in the database linked to the control panel, not just to put them there without reading.

Chen Ming flipped through these books that Yu Hui entered here.

It can only be said that although the design of Yu Hui's spacecraft and weapons is the same as that of humans in terms of the underlying thinking, after all, Yu Hui is a human.

But the situation is different when it extends to other places. Yu Hui's spaceship design ideas and weapon design ideas are all aimed at AI being able to use them.

What Chen Ming needs to learn is the technology in this area.

In fact, humans should also have these contents. After so many years of fighting, Yu Hui's spaceship must have obtained a lot of them.

Reverse cracking, some superficial and relatively basic knowledge that should be mastered must have been mastered.

Yu Hui must know this, and he will definitely give it to you without any regrets.

So these relatively low-level knowledge should not be too difficult for Chen Ming to learn.

After getting familiar with all the functions of the control panel.

Chen Ming chose to go to the material warehouse next to the factory work area.

The first batch of weapons to be repaired tomorrow is here.

Most of these weapons are energy weapons, and there are also a small number of live ammunition weapons.

Many of them are models that Chen Ming has never seen. It's a pity that these things are not on the spaceship now, so he can't know their names.

But since they are all in the warehouse, there will always be a chance to figure out the value of these things later.

In addition to weapons, there are some other things, such as drone parts or some broken equipment.

It seems that as long as it is not something that Yuhui AI directly touches, they picked some of it and brought it to Chen Ming.

In addition to these finished products, there are many other materials in the warehouse.

These should be the material subsidies that Yuhui mentioned, and they can all be used by him.

Chen Ming took a casual look and confirmed that there were thirteen kinds of high-grade materials and two kinds of special-grade materials in the warehouse.

Although the quantity is not large, it is enough for Chen Ming to use for a while if it is not used carelessly.

In addition, there are those escape capsules that Chen Ming specially asked Qu Guang to collect before leaving the battlefield.

Just when Chen Ming was thinking about how to deal with these escape capsules.

Chen Ming suddenly felt that his spaceship staying in the space station was touched.

Chen Ming immediately distracted himself and saw that it was Lao Wu who was scratching the engine of the spaceship with a screwdriver.

"Tsk."

Chen Ming smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.

It seems that Lao Wu already knew that he was not dead.

Then, through the active contact method that Chen Ming had left for his boss, he could just use something hard to scratch the inside of the engine nozzle of the spacecraft to contact Chen Ming.

After all, Chen Ming was now with Yu Hui, and he didn't need to control the spacecraft for protection even for safety, so he could always control the sentinel and receive information from the sentinel at any time.

After Lao Wu finished scratching the spaceship, he turned around and ran to an empty corner of the repair shop, lit a cigarette, and waited.

Chen Ming didn't waste any words and immediately contacted him through the sentry.

"You have nothing to do and scratch my spaceship? Pay me."

Lao Wu smiled and said, "Hey, Xiao Ming, you are still alive. What is your specific situation? What happened next? Tell me quickly."

"Fix my spaceship."

"Hey, I will definitely."

Chen Ming leaned against the wall of the factory and told Lao Wu what happened after the Follower Company fleet entered hyperspace, of course, leaving out a lot of details.

After listening to the question, Old Wu showed a confused look on his face and said, "There is nothing wrong with what you said before, but the latter part sounds weird."

"Why did Yu Hui agree to let you join so easily? And give you such good treatment? He didn't even interrogate you to find out what you were doing in the past?"

Chen Ming was quite surprised to hear Old Wu's question and asked, "Don't you understand?"

"I feel like I understand, but I also feel like I don't understand. Tell me, I'm too lazy to think about it. The person involved is calling me, why should I think about it myself?"

"You really are..."

Chen Ming shook his head, but did not refuse, explaining, "Because I didn't show any resistance before, nor did I show any threat to them, so they let me join."

"?"

" Simply put, my ability actually forced Yu Hui to come over to a certain extent. "

"I just ask you, you are Yu Hui, I ask you for help, if you have the ability to come, will you at least come over to take a look?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"That's it? If Yu Hui comes, they can only make two choices, one is to kill me to eliminate future troubles, and the other is to take me away and let me, who has asked for help, work for them."

"With my active cooperation, is it necessary for Yu Hui to interrogate me more?"

"I am actively cooperating with them, and they are cooperating with me. Isn't it best to cooperate like this? There is no need to make a complicated, troublesome interrogation that is impossible to get a real answer."

"You just sounded simple, but many Everything is a combination of luck, coincidence and the information I got from other places. "

"You don't think Yuhui is easy to get along with, do you? If we really have a falling out, Yuhui will definitely kill me first."

"If I am peaceful, Yuhui will cooperate with me and give me peace. If I resist, Yuhui will definitely be aggressive."

Chen Ming paused for a moment and continued, "Yuhui AI is actually very easy to understand. Even if they have self-awareness, they will still follow the logical optimal solution when doing things."

"I may not necessarily judge the optimal solution, but the relatively optimal solution can still be calculated."

"The optimal solution they can find from me is definitely not to kill me."

"So in that situation, I made the choice to cooperate with their optimal solution. "" "Doing things is the general idea of ​​understanding each other and the same interests, then everything will be very smooth." They are the risks they must bear, and they know that I have risks. "And my own thoughts are also risks. I may not only join them because of the military relationship. "Oral threats are forbidden to have thoughts on them. If you have ideas, you will be threatened or something." "You are Yu Hui, you say so, and then I say I dare not have thoughts on you. In the future, I will work honestly for you. Do you believe it?" Lao Wu shook his head and said; "Don't believe it. ”

“Yes, even if they did, I would not necessarily have no idea. On the contrary, it might even arouse my rebellious psychology.”

“And if this matter is really told, the result is that my relationship with Yu Hui will be very strained.”

“I am already in Yu Hui’s territory. Is it good for Yu Hui to have a strained relationship with him?”

Old Wu suddenly said, “Why do I feel that you said the opposite?”

“No, Yu Hui and I are now cooperating.”

“I provide Yu Hui with my abilities, and Yu Hui provides me with a shelter from the military.”

“In addition to Yu Hui, there are many other forces that can protect me from being hunted down by the military, but without me, there will be no other psychic with such abilities.”

Chen Ming suddenly sighed when he said this: "Actually, if the company could have been half an hour faster, I should be in the capital of the star region now."

"And if I'm not mistaken, the military should be in trouble soon."

"It's hard for the military to continue to spare energy to hunt me down."

"It's a pity that it's still a little slow."

Old Wu seemed to agree and said: "Indeed, but the company should find a way to save you later, right?"

"It will definitely save you. As long as the company needs Sky Steel and the subsequent benefits of Sky Steel, they will definitely keep trying to save me before their losses exceed the estimated risk value brought to them by the benefits of Sky Steel."

"As for the rescue What will happen is a matter for the future. "

"Anyway, it would be a bit difficult for my company to come to rescue now, so I am not in a hurry to go back."

"It would be nice for Yu Hui to stay here and get some benefits from each other steadily."

After hearing this, Old Wu couldn't help but ask: "Are you so confident? Yu Hui gets benefits from you, and you can still take advantage of Yu Hui when you are with him? Aren't you afraid that they will mess with you directly when they get anxious?"

"Well, it sounds a bit confident, but I know the thinking logic of Yu Hui's AI very well."

"Instead of using unnecessary threats and discriminatory treatment to target me, they can only use death threats and other means to force me to work at a very low efficiency, and at the same time face the covetousness of all forces interested in me."

"I should be enough for other forces to have ideas about me, right?"

Old Wu sounded more confident than Chen Ming and said, "That's for sure. What happened to you in the fleet has spread everywhere. Soon, people in many places will know that there is a psychic who can control spacecraft."

"So, so many people will have ideas about me. Yu Hui is a threat, but if I really die, Yu Hui's loss will definitely be the greatest."

"Because I am in their hands now, not on human territory."

"If I die on human territory, it will be acceptable to Yu Hui. After all, I will be dangerous to Yu Hui there. What they can't get, it's not bad to destroy it."

"But if I die on Yu Hui's territory , Yu Hui will get nothing. ”

“Yu Hui’s possibility of relying on my ability to make technological progress and gain a stronger future is gone.”

“Yu Hui and I both know this.”

“So if we can deal with things peacefully without conflict, then both sides can get what they need. There is no need to make trouble, right?”

Old Wu now completely understands why Chen Ming was able to join Yu Hui so smoothly. He sighed and said, “Is Yu Hui so smart?”

“If Yu Hui is not smart, we would not have fought with Yu Hui for so long.”

“I’m talking about being smart in terms of being a human. I thought Yu Hui was just a robot that could only calculate.”

Old Wu said this, and Chen Ming didn’t find it strange to have such an idea.

After all, Yu Hui generally does not communicate with humans, so in the eyes of most people, he should be the image of a crazy artificial intelligence.

Unless someone is able to communicate with Yu Hui, they will know that Yu Hui is really a new life.

"So you know now, right?"

"So for Yu Hui, instead of all kinds of threats, restrictions, and coercion, it is better to use more gentle means, more active support, and generous treatment to keep me here."

"You know, Old Wu, Yu Hui gave me the control of three factories, a spacecraft production factory, a weapons production factory, and a ship fuel production factory."

"To be honest, I am very tempted now."

"All the internal authority of the factory is given to me, and all the materials are at my disposal."

"Even if I can't make money from them, my own spacecraft can also be used."

"And more importantly..."

Chen Ming's tone was pulled here, and suddenly he changed the subject and said: "Old Wu, go to my spacecraft."

"Okay."

Old Wu pinched out the cigarette, flicked the cigarette butt in the direction of the sweeping robot next to him, and walked into the maintenance plant.

Chen Ming controlled the Sentinel hatch to open and let Old Wu get on board.

Then, Chen Ming randomly selected a conspicuous device inside the Sentinel and modified it.

Chen Ming was standing in the warehouse at this time. Part of the materials in the warehouse in front of him melted into liquid instantly and flowed into Chen Ming's palm.

After crossing the distance limit, it covered the equipment of the sentinel.

In the amazed eyes of Old Wu, Chen Ming chose to restore the transformation.

Then, the transformed materials appeared on the floor of the sentinel in the original place.

"It's meaningless to separate the distance of who knows how many light years in front of me."

"Do you know the value of transmitting things from Yuhui over a long distance?"

"Although I can't modify Yuhui's AI core now, I will definitely be able to install and disassemble them in the future."

"Do you understand the meaning? If you were allowed to come, would you be tempted?"

Old Wu swallowed his saliva.

There were three complete factories in front of them, and if he didn't have Chen Ming's ability, he would have to think about it carefully, after all, everything actually belonged to Yu Hui.

However, with Chen Ming's hand, working in the factory was definitely not working for Yu Hui.

"Yuhui will provide me with many materials, including ordinary, advanced and even special materials. They will also give me knowledge to learn Yuhui's technology."

"What I can get from Yuhui is definitely more than the ordinary materials I put in front of you now."

"Do you think they can think of it? A psychic who controls a spaceship has the ability similar to space teleportation."

Old Wu bent down and picked up a metal ingot on the ground and said, "I can't think of it."

"That's it."

"Anyway, to sum up this matter, Yuhui and I can both benefit from each other. Although there are risks, the risks are acceptable."

"So there is no need for us to tear each other apart openly. I am willing to cooperate, and Yuhui is also willing to cooperate. Both sides get what they need, and it depends on who can be the winner in the end."

Old Wu raised his head and took a look at the surveillance inside the spaceship. He knew Chen Ming could see it.

"I always feel that you and Yu Hui have an inexplicable tacit understanding."

"It may be because I have a lot of contact with Yu Hui AI. Well, I have things to do here, so I'm hanging up."

After getting the answer, Old Wu said without further ado: "Okay, when can you come back? I think Old Lu seems to be very unhappy these two days."

"I feel a little better knowing that you are still alive, but I feel that I am not very energetic."

Chen Ming knew the reason why the factory manager was not energetic.

After all, he and his boss were doing a business of tens of millions a day.

But in fact, after Chen Ming's identity was exposed, this matter was not easy to do. The company would be on guard against such business that would damage the company's reputation.

Even if the Pirate Space Station was doing it, it had to cooperate with the outside companies, so it would definitely be stopped. Chen Ming himself might not be able to come to the space station often in the future. It would be strange if the factory manager was not depressed.

It was a pity for Chen Ming. He only did two or three days of work before, and did not make much money.

The factory manager would probably transfer the remaining money in two days.

However, Chen Ming couldn't see it because there was no internet, so he could only go back and talk about it.

"Then you can go to the factory director to have a drink and have fun. If you have any questions, contact me again. That's all."

Chen Ming hung up the call.

For a moment, his face showed a comfortable feeling of saying everything in his heart.

But it was immediately covered by some haze.

Chen Ming actually had something to say just now.

Although he acted normal, in fact, he still had some uncertainty about the future.

And these uncertainties made him always hang on his breath and couldn't let go completely.

Because although Chen Ming really didn't want to go back now, if he wanted to go back, Chen Ming currently had no good way to go back immediately, unless through other people.

He was forced to call Yu Hui because he was in a desperate situation.

And Yu Hui was a way he prepared in advance to survive when no one could save him.

It was a backup plan that would be activated only when it was most necessary.

Therefore, Chen Ming did not prepare a backup plan for the backup plan.

So his current situation was actually a bit difficult to get off.

In addition to gaining benefits from Yu Hui, he also needs to continue to find ways to escape.

But now Chen Ming doesn't want to trust others anymore. He doesn't want to wait for others to be late.

He must find a way to leave by himself.

It's not necessary, but it must be there.

Chen Ming took a long breath, pushed the wall behind him, and stood firm. .

At this time, a communication was sent in and sent to Chen Ming's terminal.

Why do I feel that more people have contacted him after running to Yu Hui?

A strange thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and he found that the terminal showed active communication from Gamma A.

It said that it had almost reached the upper limit of the Gamma-level Yu Hui AI core and could be upgraded to Beta level.

For this purpose, the core carrier needs to be replaced.
