Chapter 132: Highest Point, Peeping

The boss obviously knew the whole picture of what the 14th Legion was doing, so the question he asked was directly about the key to the development of the situation.

Chen Ming had nothing to hide from his boss who had been guiding him and helping him, and said: "Burning this star field... No."

"It's the empire. I don't want to go back for the time being, and it shouldn't be easy to go back later."

"So I want to build a colony outside, but boss, I want to discuss with you about the specific matters of the colony."

"What to discuss?"

"I want to try to build a colony myself"

"Oh?"

The boss immediately understood what Chen Ming meant, and was not angry because of Chen Ming's change of mind. He just persuaded: "This will be difficult."

"I think I can."

"Then can you solve the personnel, materials, and technology?"

"All are fine. The personnel aspect is the easiest to solve, and the technology is also the same. Only the materials aspect may have some gaps."

The boss asked with some surprise: "How many do you have already?"

"Three star systems, and scattered throughout the star field Individuals, many of them are only responsible for production and cannot fight. "

"And because one individual in Yuhui can control the operation of an entire production facility, the density is much lower than here, so the total number should be only about 50,000."

"There is also an Alpha-class Yuhui with capabilities in industrial production and colony management, and an Alpha-class capable of fleet command."

"But I just controlled the latter one, and I haven't actually understood it yet."

"That's not bad."

For some reason, the boss suddenly seemed very satisfied and said: "This is what I want to see, what will happen after your psychic power improves."

"So you need me to help you with supplies, right?"

"Well, as long as I build the colony in the end, we can talk about the rest slowly."

Chen Ming already has a large number of Yuhui individuals as the basis for the development of the colony, and has the technology and management experience of Huihuang, an Alpha-class Yuhui.

There is also an Alpha-class Yuhui on the border planet where Gamma Z had stayed before, which must be capable of combat, as a patrol team.

The construction of the colony is basically only short of supplies.

But that's the problem.

There is no profit in the early stage of colony development, especially for such an isolated colony as Chen Ming wants to build.

The investment is huge, and it is even more distant to see the profit.

Fortunately, Chen Ming's ability has an advantage in the transportation of materials that is difficult to match with normal channels, so that the colony will not have development problems in the future due to the difficulty of transportation caused by distance.

After listening to Chen Ming's general idea, the boss did not reject his request.

Instead, he said with some relief: "It's a good thing that you have a clear idea. It just so happens that I went to do something before and got something back."

"What is it?"

"Something you definitely need, a Supreme Point-class exploration cruiser."

"Supreme Point?"

This is a type of spacecraft that Chen Ming has never heard of, but he still understands the words exploration ship.

The boss explained, "I told you before that I'm a member of the Psychic Society."

"I went out this time to help the Psychic Society recruit new members."

"He's a former researcher at Tachyon Technology. He didn't do well in the company before and wasn't well received."

"And there's also a guy in our society who's in Tachyon Technology. He noticed the psychic potential in this researcher and established a good relationship with him in advance."

"New members must be announced in the society in advance, and at least three old people must witness it. I was pulled in because I was close, but it's basically just a matter of going through the process."

"This new guy made a request before joining us."

"He wants us to help him build and test the spaceship he designed before, which is the Supreme Point-class exploration cruiser I just mentioned."

"In addition to going through the final process this time, we also have to bring Bring the ship back."

"Everyone in the association knows that I have a psychic like you on the ship, so it's great to have you test the ship."

"It just so happens that we talked about the colony before, and you also need this search. Can you help me?"

The boss asked this question, and then immediately added: "Of course I know that you are nominally dead, so I will definitely help you cover up this matter."

"Just say that I found out that you were dead after I came back, so I deliberately found another driver to test it. Others didn't know before, right?"

With the boss's guarantee, Chen Ming wanted to agree directly, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Yes, it's okay, but can I return the ship I controlled?"

"It doesn't matter. Since we have already manufactured the first prototype, the cost of manufacturing other spacecrafts can be reduced. It is not difficult to build another one."

"And the new guy just wants to get the data of the spacecraft to confirm whether it is worth mass-producing this spacecraft. Even if you drive it out and it explodes, it will explode. Just treat it as a test of the protective performance."

"Okay."

Chen Ming agreed and asked, "What about this ship? Is the new model of the ship reliable?"

"The theoretical design is fine. Our association also has other professional spacecraft engineers who can verify it. Moreover, the new guy's psychic power is about the brain. He has a good brain, so there must be no problem with the spacecraft design."

"It's just that he wants to test the spacecraft, and he insists on conducting field exploration and testing in the marginal star field. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

The boss recalled the previous situation and said, "In fact, when he asked this some time ago, I wanted to arrange for someone else to do it. After all, your situation was not very convenient before."

"But you said before that your situation was okay, so I took on this request at that time."

"Now that you have taken the initiative to bring this up, there will be no problem with giving you this ship, right?"

Chen Ming must be very happy to do this now.

If he helps to record the data of the actual application of the spacecraft, he can get a cruiser as a reward. This deal is too cost-effective.

When he leaves the Yuhui Star Region, he can directly drive this Supreme Point to explore the galaxy suitable for colonization.

Since the Psychic Society is the organization that wants to test the spacecraft, the supply of materials must be all handled by the boss, and Chen Ming does not need to bear the material needs of an additional cruiser.

Moreover, if such a ship is designed and manufactured by the members of the society, it will definitely not be recorded in any public account.

Chen Ming's current situation of pretending to be dead is unlikely to be suspected.

However, the boss now said this, which made Chen Ming unable to help but ask: "Boss, this Psychic Society?"

"It's just a loose force of psychics helping each other, just like an ordinary small circle."

The small circle of psychics has nothing to do with ordinary people.

The boss understood what Chen Ming meant and said, "You want to ask me why I didn't mention it to you and didn't invite you to join, right?"

"Yeah."

"I don't want to interfere with your development directly unless you ask for it."

"And in my opinion, joining the association has no practical benefit for you at the moment, because you don't have the resources that can actually be mobilized in the empire now, and Yu Hui doesn't count."

"You have been in the country for too short a time, and you don't have time to develop at all."

"And mutual assistance within the psychic association requires basic capital, just like that newcomer, he used the spaceship he designed as his capital."

"But the technology of spaceship design alone is not enough to be called capital, so he wants to verify the spaceship and make the technology have practical application value."

"So, unless you can quickly make a valuable finished product with the technology you got from Yu Hui, it's actually not very useful."

Chen Ming was stunned and glanced at the [Manufacturing] function on his panel.

This seems to be a way to quickly realize the value of technology.

However, the boss continued to say: "By the way, the psychic who interfered with my rescue of you before is also a member of the Psychic Society."

Chen Ming stopped thinking about joining the Psychic Society, frowned, and asked: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, so if you don't want to be remembered too early, it's best to stay away from the society."

"You definitely don't want to expose your situation now, otherwise you should have found a way to contact the Fourteenth Legion to hold them accountable."

"Instead of quietly asking Lao Lu to send me a terminal."

Chen Ming's main target now is not the psychic who lives in the prosperous star field of the empire, which is extremely dangerous for him.

But the Fourteenth Legion located in the edge star field, and the high-level officials of the war zone composed of several nearby edge star fields.

If he joins the Psychic Society now, he will definitely attract people he doesn't want to meet now.

So Chen Ming chose to accept the boss's opinion and explained: "It's like this, I think hiding now will be most helpful for what I will do later."

"If I live, I may not get an explanation from the 14th Corps, but will be retaliated by them, but I will definitely get more opportunities if I die."

"Whether it's the chance to survive or the chance to settle this account."

The boss nodded and said: "Well, it's true, but the situation over the 14th Corps is actually a bit complicated, do you want to listen?"

"I won't interfere with your decision, but I think you should make a decision based on more intelligence."

"Okay."

The boss recalled a little and said: "Bai Quan was seriously injured and unconscious during the previous patrol. The person who took over his task was a second-generation, with a subordinate who was quite capable."

The first thing that came up was the heavy news that the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet was replaced before the war.

Chen Ming immediately asked: "Was Bai Quan's injury an accident or..."

"They said it was an accident, but I heard that more than 20 people in the 14th Corps had their hats taken away, and they all had high positions."

"Then it's not an accident."

These two sentences are enough for Chen Ming to figure out the rest of the story.

"I guess the forces behind this second generation wanted to give him some credit, so they took the opportunity to deal with Baiquan once, and then let their capable subordinate help him complete this mission."

Chen Ming suddenly exhaled and asked: "Will such a dirty thing happen inside the 14th Corps, the strongest independent corps in the empire?"

"Well... let's put it this way."

"This second generation is not the second generation of the 14th Corps. He is the second generation of a big family in the empire, and he sneaked into the 14th Corps to get gilded."

"Promotions within the 14th Corps are purely based on merit. This is the foundation established after the reorganization of the 14th Corps and will never change."

"But in the execution of tasks, as long as the people above are fine and the people below perform well, the people above can share part of the credit. This is The military command system is fixed and cannot be changed."

"Your guess is similar in other aspects, but it is a little more complicated."

"This second generation actually entered the 14th Legion through a legitimate way, but he used some background on the way to promotion."

"But these are all within the rules. You can't say that there is anything wrong with a second generation who already has a military position bringing a few guards he trusts, even if the ability of this guard is better than that of the second generation."

The boss suddenly showed a look of seeing something interesting on his face and said: "In addition, because he is an internal staff of the 14th Legion, but his background is not, a very coincidental thing happened."

"Do you know who was the source of the Sky Steel incident at the beginning?"

Chen Ming immediately said, "I know."

"Old Wu told me before that it was a private practice of several high-level officials in the war zone including the Galo Star Region."

"They rely on the benefits of Sky Steel to keep in touch with many people and exchange interests."

The boss immediately confirmed Chen Ming's statement: "Yes, Sky Steel has gained a lot of benefits for them, but it also makes their information easily leaked."

"So after the fleet that rescued you had an accident, I heard about it a long time ago."

"The second generation who took over Baiquan this time has the background of one of the people who robbed the Sky Steel of Xinda Company in the war zone."

Chen Ming's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he said: "The mining space station was destroyed, and I lay in the freezer above for three days. The culprit of ten years, what a narrow road for enemies. "

"In that case, the United Fleet had no intention of saving me from the beginning after being taken over by the second generation, so where did their achievements come from? "

"After losing my spiritual energy, what else can be called sufficient achievements? "

"And I still have Cheng Xinghe in my hands. Baiquan attaches great importance to him, and the Fourteenth Legion must also attach importance to him. Killing me is equivalent to killing Cheng Xinghe. What do the people who took over think? "

"Wait, their goal would not be there from the beginning? That Kletka? It's just a visit to my place and kill me by the way. "

The boss agreed with Chen Ming's idea again: "Yes, destroy Kletka, and the entire Yuhui Star Domain will become our territory in the near future. "

"The achievement of expanding territory is indeed greater than saving you, even if there is Cheng Xinghe. "

"No matter how much potential a person who has not grown up has, it is not actual ability. ”

“If your psychic power has gained fame within the empire, and Cheng Xinghe has reached the level of a colonel, then they might need to think more before actually taking action.”

“But now, it’s obviously not possible.”

“But even so, after all, the 14th Corps didn’t get anything in the end, and lost a considerable number of fleets.”

“I guess something must have happened to the 14th Corps, and it depends on Bai Quan’s decision and skill.”

“So, what do you think now that you know this?”

Chen Ming thought quietly for a while.

The boss didn’t urge him at this time, and waited patiently for Chen Ming’s answer.

After a while, Chen Ming said, “It doesn’t make much difference.”

“Looking at this matter as a whole, it is the 14th Corps’ own internal personnel who did these things, so they must bear this responsibility and must give me an explanation.”

The boss suddenly thought of something at this time and asked, “By the way, aren’t you dead? How can I explain to you? "

Chen Ming's brain crashed for a moment, and then he realized that he was led into a ditch by his boss's leading questions.

So he immediately said: "The 14th Corps failed in its mission, and they gave up on me when they could have definitely rescued me by cooperating with me, and then failed."

"Then their own sufficient punishment is the best explanation for me."

"The loss of their fleet is not small. If people can get away with it, it would be too outrageous."

The boss raised his mouth slightly, and he confirmed that Chen Ming was not blinded by hatred, and he still had the rationality to think calmly.

And Chen Ming continued: "Of course, their internal punishment alone is not enough. This is their own problem of mission failure."

"I wanted to cooperate with them before, but I was attacked by the rulers in the end. When I have the ability, I will personally get back this account."

"And there is a mining space station in the war zone. In the future, this so-called rescue operation is actually a killing operation. I will find a way to find an opportunity to get back these two grudges."

The boss suddenly said: "The main force of the 14th Legion is now on the other side. The 14th Legion here is just a small one. It's reasonable for you to have this idea."

"But you only have three star systems now, and you also want to seek revenge on the high-level of the war zone covering three star fields?"

The boss's tone did not have any doubts about Chen Ming's excessive ideas. Instead, he asked this question very seriously.

After hearing this question, Chen Ming said confidently: "My ability means I can do it."

The boss smiled and said: "To be honest, I really hope to see such a day, it will be very interesting."

"Just tell me if you need anything, I am very bored every day now."

Chen Ming always felt that the boss had the potential to be a funny person.

However, if he had the boss's ability and strength, he might have similar ideas at that time.

But now, he is far from that level, he needs to go further.

Shortly after Chen Ming and the boss finished talking.

Near the galaxy that intersects with the other two star fields, including the Galo star field.

There is the headquarters of the war zone jointly formed by the three star fields.

In the office of the lieutenant general who gave orders to Zhang Feng before.

In addition to the lieutenant general, there are two other people here.

One is the middle-aged woman with a frosty face before, and the other is an ordinary person who looks to be in his thirties and dressed in casual clothes.

Although the middle-aged woman had a serious face, she said to the person she had found beside her with great respect: "Mr. Wang Yu, thank you for your help."

The person called Wang Yu nodded, and a spiritual energy wave emanated from his body.

Then, a shadowy figure appeared in front of him.

It was Chen Ming who had just finished communicating with his boss.

Through this shadow, the three people present could only see Chen Ming himself, but not the environment around Chen Ming.

However, it can be analyzed from Chen Ming's movements that he is now sitting on a chair with something in his hands.

Judging from the distance between his hands, it should be a terminal.

The shadowy Chen Ming suddenly raised his head, raised his right hand and waved it in the air.

The next moment, Chen Ming's shadow completely disappeared.

Wang Yu said goodbye and left directly after completing the task.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman with a more serious expression turned her head to look at the lieutenant general, and asked sarcastically: "Is Chen Ming dead?"

"A Tang is still detained today, and Chen Ming has not been killed. What use are you? What use are your subordinates?"

The lieutenant general's face was livid, but he had no rebuttal, so he could only reach out and touch a terminal on the table.

At this moment.

Chen Ming, who was in the Yuhui Star Region, frowned.

He just suddenly felt a sense of peeping, so he instinctively reached out and released a burst of psychic fluctuations.

The peeping sense did disappear.

But the meaning behind this peeping sense made Chen Ming know that something bad had happened.

The fact that he was still alive was now most likely exposed.

This was definitely done by a psychic with the ability to detect.

It seems that he may need to face some troubles that could have been delayed by pretending to be dead more directly in the future.

Chen Ming quickly adjusted his mentality.

After all, he should have been prepared for this a long time ago.

There is no such thing as everything going smoothly. Accidents are the norm.

Suddenly, Chen Ming noticed a slight psychic fluctuation around him, and he felt a sense of being watched again.

But it was different from what happened just now. Just now, someone was observing him.

And now, someone was trying to touch him.

Chen Ming was alert this time and directly extinguished the psychic fluctuation that just appeared.

It's okay, it's not difficult. As long as you are prepared, this kind of peeping can be completely stopped actively.

But the pity is that he didn't react immediately to the peeping the last time, and the fact that he was still alive had been exposed. It was meaningless to extinguish it now.

And even if the psychic fluctuation that emerged was extinguished, the other party at least knew that the investigation of Chen Ming was considered a failed intervention.

It means that there is a high probability that Chen Ming is still alive, and some information will still be exposed.

This is inevitable.

Now the question is, who is spying on him?
