Chapter 175 Biomass Spaceship

Chen Ming held the knife in one hand and handed the three materials with transparent amber appearance to him with the other hand.

According to the process recorded in the document given by the president before, he began to guide the mental power outside the body and gradually gathered it on the materials to be condensed.

The process of actively excluding mental power from the body felt to Chen Ming like the normal use of psychic power, but it did not have any practical effect.

There was nothing special about the rest.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chen Ming had guided most of his total mental power outside the body.

A group of twisted air balls that looked like flames burning the air had appeared in his hand.

This was a product of highly compressed mental power that was close to the substance.

But at this time, he still did not feel any resonance between him and the three materials in his hand.

Chen Ming probably had a bad premonition in his heart, but he continued and guided all his mental power to his hands.

He only relied on the little mental power restored by the honeycomb network of the abnormal individual to observe the materials in his hand and the highly condensed mental power ball.

And the result...

The three materials did not react at all.

They were not the materials Chen Ming needed to condense the spiritual energy source.

So he had to give up and try to absorb the spiritual power again.

It was just as the document given by the president said.

The difficulty of absorbing these spiritual powers that had been guided out of the body and exposed to the external environment was much greater than the difficulty of guiding the new spiritual power in the body.

At least his spiritual power was almost exhausted, and he had no way to maintain this group of spiritual power and absorb all the spiritual power back stably.

In the end, he only absorbed about 30% of the spiritual power.

This first attempt was considered a failure.

But Chen Ming had such a feeling in advance, so it was not too surprising.

If it was so easy to get it done, then the condensed spiritual energy source would not be so rare.

Then he could only wait for the subsequent materials to be delivered and try whether the remaining two materials had any effect.

If the next two materials had no effect, he could only use the special condensed spiritual energy source as bait according to his previous idea.

There wasn't much Chen Ming could do for the rest of the day.

He simply sent a mechanical body with a propeller on its back, called Tornado by Chen Ming, to fly over the hive again with the condensed spiritual energy source, intending to leave more traces of spiritual energy fluctuations.

When the tornado passed by this time.

Chen Ming didn't even need to use the scanning array at the highest point to see with his naked eyes that some insects were searching for traces of spiritual energy fluctuations he left yesterday on the ground.

The bait worked.

So this time Chen Ming didn't let Tornado pass by again, but circled a few times at a distance and returned to the landing craft and the highest point.

In case Tornado, a mechanical body that was obviously wrong, was discovered by the Zerg, causing the Zerg to be unnecessary vigilant.

After completing this task.

Chen Ming also sent several robots with several gamma cores he currently had, and took more than a dozen ordinary robots to the city of the mechanical race.

Let these robots contact the mechanical races whose lines were damaged in the city.

Control them.

Help Chen Ming save energy and time.

By the way, when he can't find a suitable target, he can also help him move out other intact mechanical races in the city.

Move them back to the landing craft and transport them back to the highest point, so that he can control them uniformly.

After all, the appearance of these mechanical races is intact. If Chen Ming doesn't want to damage their external armor and doesn't want to have a direct conflict with the mechanical race, then he can only do this.

And he had already tried it yesterday.

There is no problem for the robots he controls to contact those dormant mechanical races.

All dormant mechanical races will not have any reaction when touched.

As long as there is time and enough robots that can work.

Chen Ming will be able to empty the entire city sooner or later.

Anyway, there are many gamma cores that have nothing to do and are dormant in the temporary base.

As long as he wants, he can transport a batch of them at any time.

Of course, for safety reasons, these robots that will move dormant mechanical races later will only be responsible for sneaking into some areas where Chen Ming can be sure that there are no active mechanical races to work.

Those areas where there are active mechanical races will be handed over to the mechanical races that he has controlled.

The mechanical races in this city can't tell which are their own people and which are abnormal individuals controlled by Chen Ming.

Even if his mechanical race is exposed to other mechanical races, it will not cause any problems.

It can only be said that this abandoned city no longer has a normal environment.

These mechanical tribes have also seemed to have lost their basic behavioral logic, with only an instinctive consciousness of counterattacking when attacked.

As long as Chen Ming asks Huihuang to help arrange the work for each robot and intervene when necessary, there is no need to worry at all.

It is better to worry about the process of controlling so many mechanical tribes.

Although he does not consume much mental power when controlling each mechanical tribe.

And as the number of abnormal sub-individuals controlled by him increases, his mental power will also receive additional feedback from the hive mind network, so there is no need to worry about consumption.

However, the number of mechanical tribes in this city is more than 100,000.

Even if there are many mechanical tribes that have been completely damaged or partially damaged, the number of mechanical tribes that look intact will definitely not be less than 50,000.

In fact, it can be seen from yesterday that there are still many mechanical tribes in the whole city that have not come, but relying on the mechanical tribes in several areas near the edge, the group of insects that came to attack can be easily destroyed.

The number of mechanical tribes is definitely more than Chen Ming thought.

It can only be said that the mechanical race is not like Yu Hui, where each individual has very powerful computing power.

Their hive mind determines that they rely on the collective, and they are in the collective and perform their own duties.

Therefore, the density of the number of mechanical race individuals is definitely greater than that of Yu Hui.

And this huge number means that it takes a lot of time to control them.

Chen Ming's Yu Hui can only use the data line to help him control those mechanical races that are partially damaged and the lines are exposed.

He must do the rest himself.

Control them one by one, even if there are 100,000 pigs, it will take at least a month.

No, pigs seem to be more difficult to deal with than these dormant mechanical races.

His psychic power can control the mechanical race as long as he touches it, but he really can't control pigs.

Chen Ming shook his head and threw away the strange thoughts in his mind.

In fact, he doesn't need to be too negative about the efficiency of this matter.

As long as he can control all the individuals in the city that can be used for combat, then the remaining non-combat type mechanical races will be at his mercy, right?

Moreover, although the city's tower has lost the ability to control the mechanical race, it still has the ability to control the city itself.

With the assistance of the tower, the core of the city, the overall efficiency is definitely not that bad.

Another day passed in a flash.

Chen Ming once again sent a group of robots with gamma-level afterglow cores to the city of the mechanical race to speed up the work efficiency.

At the same time, he also sent Tornado to the vicinity of the insect nest again and found that the insect race had indeed completely discovered the traces left by Chen Ming's condensed spiritual energy source.

Many insects have appeared on the surface and scattered in a large area for search.

It seems that as long as the spiritual energy fluctuations of the condensed spiritual energy source appear again, they will swarm up.

And today, Lao Wu also sent the remaining two materials with pure white transparent amber appearance to Space Arm No. 6.

One of them is called white fat, which is a natural resin material produced by plants that is difficult to cultivate artificially.

The other is called white amber steel, which is a by-product of smelting special-grade metal ore with a special appearance.

And this time.

When Chen Ming concentrated all his mental power outside his body and wrapped the two materials, he found that his mental power still did not resonate with these materials.

It seemed that he failed again. Sure enough, the material for condensing the spiritual energy source was not so easy to deal with.

Just when Chen Ming was about to give up.

The boat spirit that had been squatting at the highest point suddenly jumped out of the wall and drilled into the interior of the white amber steel wrapped by mental power.

Then, the white amber steel that was half the size of Chen Ming's palm showed visible changes in details.

Under the influence of the boat spirit, the whole piece of white amber steel became closer to the appearance of Chen Ming's condensed spiritual energy source.

The slight deviation between it and the condensed spiritual energy source was corrected.

And the boat spirit also took the initiative to help Chen Ming guide the spiritual power restricted in his hand into the white amber steel.

It can almost be said that it completed the condensation process of condensing the spiritual energy source for Chen Ming, which originally required him to complete it with extreme mental exhaustion.

Chen Ming still maintained a clear consciousness.

Chen Ming watched the whole process in detail and had a rough guess about the situation in his mind.

However, he was not 100% sure, so he asked the boat spirit: "How did you do it?"

The boat spirit understood Chen Ming's words and circled around the amber steel that had become Chen Ming's second condensed spiritual energy source.

Then he straightened his body made of phantom towards Chen Ming, exuding a little pride.

"Well..."

Chen Ming translated the meaning of the boat spirit in his mind, then pointed at Bai Zhi next to him and asked, "Is this okay?"

The boat spirit immediately shook his body, exuding a negative emotion.

Then Chen Ming understood.

The properties of the white amber steel itself are actually somewhat similar to the material he used to condense the origin of his spiritual energy.

So the boat spirit can help him change the properties of the white amber steel and complete the rest of the operation.

This ability to change the physical properties of an object.

It should be... a derivative of his [Transformation] ability.

This is the manifestation of the boat spirit's spiritual properties of a psychic.

Although this method makes Chen Ming a little uncomfortable, after all, he can't transform the physical properties of an object at all, at least not now.

But the boat spirit did it.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, at least it lets Chen Ming know the possibility and direction of his subsequent development of spiritual energy.

It also lets Chen Ming know that the upper limit of transformation is not limited to what he currently knows.

Chen Ming reached out and touched the place on the boat spirit's phantom that was probably the head, and he was unconsciously happy.

It was precisely because of the help of the boat spirit that he was able to complete the condensation of the psychic energy source when the materials were wrong.

And he also knew the direction of the development of psychic abilities in the future.

Everyone was happy.

The boat spirit noticed Chen Ming's joy, and it seemed to be infected by Chen Ming's emotions. It returned to the highest point with the same joy and its own slightly proud emotions.

The second piece of condensed psychic energy source was obtained, and the bait was ready, but Chen Ming could not do it directly.

He still needed to wait for the recovery of his mental power.

Then for the rest of the day, he continued to work on the mechanical city as yesterday.

Another new day has arrived.

Chen Ming's mental power has returned to the peak again.

Then it is time to start setting up the trap to lure the Zerg out.

The way to set it up is actually quite simple.

Only one psychic creature is needed to definitely attract the attention of the Zerg.

Of course, it is not Xiao Shi, but something else.

This Chen Ming is ready.

But before setting the trap, he had to leave a backup for the precious bait.

Chen Ming knocked on the wall at the highest point, and the boat spirit poked its head out of the wall.

Looking at the puzzled boat spirit in front of him, Chen Ming suddenly found that it seemed to be getting more and more solid during this period.

Although the appearance is still a phantom and has not been finalized, the opacity of the phantom has been getting higher and higher, and it should become completely opaque in a short time.

This should not be a bad thing for the boat spirit.

Chen Ming took out his second piece of condensed spiritual energy source, knocked on it lightly and said: "Come, go in, help me protect it, don't let it be absorbed by other things."

The boat spirit would naturally not refuse Chen Ming's request and got in obediently.

With the protection of the boat spirit, Chen Ming would not need to worry too much about the situation of condensing the spiritual energy source later.

The next step is to prepare the last step of the trap.

Chen Ming needs to feed this thing to a certain flying creature.

As for what specific creature to feed it to.

When Chen Ming used the highest point to scan the planet before, he had scanned a variant of the empty jellyfish.

It can only be said that the empty jellyfish is a relatively special creature.

Because it has the ability to travel in space.

Especially the elderly individuals.

The empty jellyfish will gradually grow larger with age.

The gas mass in their bodies will become lighter, and the body tissue will become thinner, but the strength of the body tissue will increase.

They can actively eject violent airflows that can make them exceed the second or even third level of cosmic speed.

These empty jellyfish will land on other planets and then die.

After death, they will leave behind empty jellyfish eggs that reproduce the next batch of empty jellyfish, and then use their own gelatinous corpses to supply nutrition to the new empty jellyfish when they cannot float.

So even planets that humans have never set foot on often have traces of their existence.

Moreover, they are not very harmful. As long as they are not exposed to fire, there is almost no threat.

In addition, they do not need to consume too much material to survive, and the material that constitutes their body tissue is also very easy to degrade, which has almost no impact on the ecosystem.

If the number of air jellyfish is large enough, it can promote ecological air purification.

It can only be said that if they are not of the nature of exploding when encountering fire, Chen Ming should be able to see them in many colonies or space stations.

In addition, when Chen Ming was reading research reports on various websites before, he saw that some research institutes of biotechnology companies were trying to genetically modify air jellyfish.

It makes it lose the ability to explode and maintain the ability to purify the air.

It's just that the progress seems not ideal, and it has nothing to do with Chen Ming.

As a student of spacecraft, he probably won't need to use biological technology in his life.

In short, after having these basic understandings of the empty jellyfish and scanning the empty jellyfish group at the highest point.

Chen Ming already had a complete idea in his mind.

He wanted to let an old empty jellyfish eat the condensed spiritual energy source that hosted the ship spirit, let it emit the spiritual energy fluctuations that the swarm had felt several times in the past few days, and attract the Zerg to space.

Of course, not all old empty jellyfish will choose to enter space, and some empty jellyfish will stay on the planet and wait for death to come.

But Chen Ming's empty jellyfish was caught when it was about to enter space.

So Chen Ming doesn't need to worry about the situation where the empty jellyfish is given away directly.

Of course, the condensed spiritual energy source itself still needs to be protected by the ship spirit, so that it can't be taken away by the bugs, and it can't be absorbed by too much spiritual energy fluctuations by the empty jellyfish.

All preparations have been completed.

Then Chen Ming no longer wastes time and starts his arrangements directly.

It is not difficult to use the living habits of the empty jellyfish itself to pass over the area where the Zerg settles.

Next, if the bugs want to capture the air jellyfish, they must send out something that can fly.

Chen Ming wanted to see how the bugs fly.

Chen Ming was sitting at his desk in his study.

Holding his psychic weapon in his hand, Ming.

In the past two days, he took the time to compress the Word of Madness Spirit Stone to a suitable size and embed it into the psychic weapon.

Chen Ming could clearly feel that when he held the psychic weapon, his mental power and psychic strength would have additional increases.

The original psychic weapon gave an increase of about 1.1 times, but after the spirit stone was embedded, the strength of mental power was about 1.3 times.

The effect can be said to be quite obvious.

However, for what he was going to do now, no preparation was too much.

Chen Ming stared at the old air jellyfish intently through the scanning array at the highest point, watching it fly low over the Zerg's nest according to Chen Ming's arrangement, and then fly to the sky.

The Thorn Zerg took the bait almost instantly. Some of the bugs searching outside immediately flapped their elytra on their backs and chased the old jellyfish flying high in the sky.

Chen Ming immediately planned to intervene slightly to prevent these bugs from catching the jellyfish before it rose to a high enough height.

However, to Chen Ming's surprise, the old jellyfish suddenly ejected a violent airflow to the left, and instantly accelerated to the sky.

The speed was even faster than those Zergs that Chen Ming had never seen before, with huge elytra on their backs, slender bodies, and very light at first glance.

Even without Chen Ming's coercion and help, it was doing what Chen Ming wanted to see it do.

Go to space.

It was approaching the end of its age, and it needed to reproduce.

The instinct of reproduction forced it to do this.

And this was exactly why Chen Ming chose it.

As the jellyfish rose in height, the surrounding atmosphere became thinner.

Those Zerg individuals flying with elytra have gradually lost the ability to continue flying upwards.

This conspicuous psychic wave is about to enter the outermost part of the atmosphere.

This full banquet that is about to be served to the Zerg will soon be gone.

At the moment when Chen Ming determined that the flying insects of the Zerg had completely lost the ability to catch up with the air jellyfish.

The scanning array on the highest point that was still scanning the planet suddenly sent back a special signal.

The ground was shaking.

It was the insects underground that became active.

And within the range covered by the tower monitoring, countless mechanical races suddenly woke up and prepared for battle.

Fortunately, Chen Ming had thought that the actions of the Zerg might affect the mechanical races in the nearby cities, so he did not arrange his robots to enter the city today.

So he was not affected and did not need to deal with things in a hurry.

And deep underground at this time.

In the insect nest displayed by the scanning array.

The huge organism at the core of the insect nest that Chen Ming had seen before was undergoing a violent... evolution.

Evolving towards something that Chen Ming was very familiar with.

Watching the rapid changes taking place on this giant organism.

Chen Ming's heartbeat began to accelerate, and his emotions gradually became excited. He subconsciously said to himself: "Yes, that's it."

Originally, this giant organism that protected the queen inside was only symmetrical and narrow in appearance, and looked like a spaceship.

But now, as the changes in it became more prominent.

Chen Ming can be 100% sure that this giant organism itself is a biomass spaceship.

It was only in the underground that some of its abilities were temporarily degraded in order to build a nest.

Combined with the clues that Chen Ming had learned before.

He can be sure that the Thorn Zerg must rely on these biomass spaceships to fly in space.

These biological spacecrafts definitely have the ability to accelerate to near the speed of light in space, and even enter hyperspace.

Then the situation of the carrier of the Zerg's space travel has been determined.

It is a biomass spacecraft evolved by the Zerg themselves.

At this time, Chen Ming, who was very excited, had only one question in his mind.

In his psychic judgment, is such a biomass spacecraft considered a spacecraft that he can control?

He is now extremely curious.
