Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 212 Hu Yi

The vertical volcano slowly tilted like the sky, and would soon topple over the dome.

At this moment, the surging spiritual energy fluctuations in Chen Ming's body were being absorbed by the Purgatory Core in his hand, which had been charged to the extreme.

All the spiritual energy fluctuations were restrained in the Purgatory Core by the isolation material of the Purgatory Core, without any excess escape.

Chen Ming suddenly had an inspiration when he saw this scene, but now was not the time to deal with it.

He controlled the Purgatory Core and instantly transferred most of the entropy inside the magma at the foot of the vertical volcano, whose bottom had melted and began to tilt visibly, to the surrounding area.

Under the premise that all the spiritual energy fluctuations were converted into the most practical effects.

The effect and range of entropy transfer were so strong that even the power of nature could not resist it.

The flowing magma solidified in an instant, and the terrifying heat was clearly filled around the volcano.

But the volcano that was still flowing with magma and began to topple has become a pure solid cold rock pillar.

The toppleover has stopped, and Chen Ming's operation seems to be... successful?

Just when Chen Ming was a little surprised, he suddenly found that magma was gushing out from the bottom of the second volcano that he had controlled.

"Didn't you just flow out?"

The magma that supported this volcano had already erupted before and accumulated at the foot of the mountain, but now more magma appeared, which was definitely not good news for Chen Ming.

And just when the second volcano became active again, the magma activities of the third and fourth volcanoes suddenly became more active.

The magma inside the volcanic column had not yet flowed dry and accumulated at the bottom of the mountain, but the bottom of the two volcanoes had already begun to melt and could fall at any time.

This forced Chen Ming to control the Purgatory Core and control the entropy of the three surrounding volcanoes at the same time.

Otherwise, if one volcano fell, the dome would be no different from being gone.

This not only requires a huge amount of mental power, but also requires Chen Ming to focus on transferring the entropy inside the bottom magma and find a suitable opening to divert the magma.

Otherwise, these entropies will accumulate underground, and sooner or later there will be another volcanic eruption.

But the more he tried to relieve himself, the harder it was for Chen Ming to handle all the problems.

It was obvious that his mental power was constantly being consumed, and he was getting more and more tired.

But the magma under the three volcanoes seemed endless, and the entropy that needed to be dissipated seemed to be flowing from the core of the entire volcanic planet, and it could not be handled cleanly at all.

Chen Ming even felt that everything he did was in vain.

The difficulty of a person fighting a planet was so unbearable.

But this should not be something that cannot be done.

Chen Ming knew psychics, except for Shao Yang, who had just become a psychic like him.

Others, whether they were bosses or presidents, or even Yan Xiong, should have the ability to fight against an entire planet.

Chen Ming's desperate efforts in psychic power during this period should not have prevented him from handling these small volcanoes.

He could not stop yet.

However, whether he stopped or not was not determined by Chen Ming's own thoughts, but by his mental power.

In just a few minutes, he consumed the amount of mental power that used to take several days to exhaust.

Chen Ming not only felt that his mind was empty, but his consciousness unconsciously blurred.

He was about to give up.

Although he himself had a high probability of surviving, the dome was definitely gone.

At this moment, the ship spirit that had been staying at the highest point near Chen Ming's body suddenly felt something and poked out its head, which was almost real, from the hull.

After looking at Chen Ming, who was covering his head, for a while, it became virtual and went directly into Chen Ming's body.

The ship spirit's mental power instantly filled the gap in Chen Ming's consumed mental power.

The somewhat chaotic brain instantly became clear.

Chen Ming nodded to the ship spirit and transmitted the mental power given by the ship spirit to the prosthesis again.

The mental power given by the ship spirit was temporary mental power. If it was not used, it would dissipate immediately. He had to hurry up and deal with the three volcanoes.

At the moment when Chen Ming was ready to invest his mental power again.

The surging magma that was flowing outward at the bottom of the three volcanoes suddenly stabilized and stopped flowing outward.

This abrupt scene made Chen Ming, who had just made preparations, feel depressed as if he couldn't sneeze halfway.

At the moment when the magma at the bottom of the volcano stopped.

Chen Ming saw several destroyers landing outside the dome.

Some soldiers of the 14th Legion wearing extremely heavy heat-insulating power armor came down from above.

They seemed to be a rescue team.

Just after they came down.

Chen Ming suddenly saw a flash of bright light on the hillsides of the three surrounding volcanoes, and something exploded on the hillsides.

After the flash, all three volcanoes collapsed on the spot, breaking into pieces straightly without any tilt and piling up on the ground.

It seemed that the people of the 14th Legion took the initiative to blast those volcanoes, solving the problem that they might hit the dome after the collapse.

Although the vertical collapse of the volcano also caused violent ground shaking, the current shaking no longer posed any threat to Chen Ming.

And on the ground near the dome.

Chen Ming saw someone wearing armor wading through the magma, arranging special explosives, and taking the initiative to blow up gaps in the ground to drain the magma deep underground.

In addition, some people climbed to the top of the dome, seemingly to check for damage to the dome.

Others came to the laboratory wrapped in metallic liquid.

Just when they were looking at each other in confusion, the metallic liquid in front of them suddenly separated.

Chen Ming came to the entrance of the laboratory wearing the locust powered armor that Bai Quan had given him the blueprints for, and appeared in front of the rescue team holding the purgatory core that was directly exposed to high heat in his hand.

The leader of the rescue team immediately said to Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen Ming, please come with us to a safe place quickly."

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Mr. Chen Ming..."

The team leader wanted to dissuade him, so Chen Ming pointed directly around.

The metallic liquid that originally enveloped the buildings and domes gradually revealed those safe and sound buildings.

People who went to the top of the dome also reported back that there were no signs of damage to the dome.

The team leader still had a troubled look on his face.

Chen Ming said again: "I really have nothing to do here. Let's go to other nearby domes. They should have been affected by the volcanic eruption just now. Go and help them."

"By the way, where is Bai Quan? He should want to see me now."

"Lieutenant General Bai is directing the rescue. I will notify him immediately."

"Thanks."

"No, no, you're too polite."

The team leader quickly turned around and informed Bai Quan of the situation.

Although Chen Ming was still a little gloomy because of what had just happened, he was generally quite happy.

The test was successful.

Infernal Core works wonders when used independently.

When he holds the Purgatory Core, the psychic structure inside the Purgatory Core is almost equivalent to allowing him to master a psychic power that controls entropy and increases entropy.

After taking into account the Queen's psionic powers, which can be used through the hive mind network, and his own psionic powers.

The combination of three spiritual powers into one can no longer be described as outrageous.

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

His research on the core of Purgatory has been completely completed up to this point.

Next, after the geological activities are over, he can start manufacturing supporting equipment and create external devices that are originally suitable for the functions of the Purgatory Demon King, but have different effects from the Purgatory Demon King.

Allowing others to use the Infernal Core through this device instead of just being the core of the Inferno Lord.

It should be done soon.

In addition to this ordinary external device, Chen Ming also needs to help the Fourteenth Legion realize another function he is testing that is operated by psychic energy.

Although the Purgatory Core itself has a backdoor for psykers to use, direct use of this backdoor places high demands on the psykers themselves.

At least the user's ability to perceive the surrounding environment and the amount of mental power must not be less.

Other psykers still need to have suitable supporting facilities when using the Infernal Core.

It will definitely be much easier to use if you have supporting equipment.

But Chen Ming does not know how to manufacture psychic-related equipment.

So he only planned to explain the principles clearly, leaving the rest of the design of professional psychic devices to Bai Quan and the Fourteenth Legion.

Thesis, then do it last.

Anyway, once all the previous things are taken care of, the paper will just be about writing down the thoughts in your mind on paper.

It's a pity that he may not be able to do these things yet.

Because there's something wrong with what happened late tonight.

Just a few minutes after the rescue team leader called Baiquan.

Bai Quan also arrived at Chen Ming's dome in a spaceship.

When he got off the spacecraft, his face was extremely dark. He felt slightly better when he saw Chen Ming standing in the laboratory intact.

Chen Ming looked at Bai Quan who looked like he was about to eat someone and asked, "Why don't you call me?"

Bai Quan breathed out, calmed down and said, "I wanted to fight at first, but when you saw the situation outside and entered the laboratory, I knew you must have gone to the second underground floor."

"You will definitely not have time to leave when our rescue team gets here. Calling you is just a waste of time."

Chen Ming thought about it for a while. Bai Quan could only tell him two things when he called him, reminding him to hide first, and waiting for rescue to take him away.

There is no need to remind him anymore, he can see the rescue team coming.

It's really no problem if I don't call.

Several thoughts quickly flashed through Chen Ming's mind, but Chen Ming did not dwell too much on the phone call.

But Baiquan continued: "And this situation is a bit embarrassing now, which makes me not want to call."

Although this sentence was talking about the phone call, it also confirmed Chen Ming's previous suspicion: "It seems that this geological activity is not a simple natural phenomenon."

"You can see it too."

"Yeah, the location of the three volcanoes at the back is so coincidental."

"It's a coincidence. Do you still remember that the psyker I once helped you investigate was the psyker who stopped Wu An when you and Yan Xiong were fighting.

Chen Ming's tone became as low as Bai Quan's: "I remember him, Hu Yi. You previously investigated that his psychic ability is to control temperature, but now it seems that it is not simply controlling temperature."

No wonder his mental power can't even handle three volcanoes. If there is someone behind the scenes who has been supporting the flow of magma at the bottom of the volcano, everything makes sense.

"How did he get here?"

Bai Quan raised the terminal, which showed a person's identity and resume.

"A researcher from an institution that cooperated with us and applied to come to the Galo star field was replaced by him. Except for the photo that is similar to him, all other information is fake."

"I will ask people to increase the management of this aspect in the future, and it won't happen again next time."

Hu Yi actually came to the 14th Legion in this way. No wonder Bai Quan said he was embarrassed.

Chen Ming glanced at the man's face on the terminal, recorded it in his mind, and then said to Bai Quan: "I have two questions."

"You say."

"Why didn't Hu Yi create a volcano directly under the dome?"

Bai Quan pointed to his feet and said: "There is a passive detection device directly under the dome that can detect the direction of the magma directly below."

"If he creates a volcano directly below, he will be discovered very early. The time when the underground magma accumulates is enough to evacuate the people in the entire dome."

"Separating a distance so that the equipment cannot detect accurately, and the best way to attack the dome is to wait until the volcano emerges before being discovered."

Chen Ming knew that there was a detection device when he controlled the dome, and now he asked Bai Quan just to confirm it.

"Then why are there only four volcanoes? Why is he a psychic who can hold back Boss Wu's psychic only to this extent?"

Bai Quan explained again: "Because this is the 14th Corps, Hu Yi can't use his psychic power too much, otherwise he will be discovered soon."

"We also have psychics here, combat-type psychics, he can't escape if a fight really breaks out."

"And if he causes large-scale casualties to our Corps, he will be hunted down by the entire empire on a large scale."

"You also know what our 14th Corps is doing now."

Chen Ming paused and said: "But since you are like this now, Hu Yi should have run away."

Bai Quan's face darkened instantly, and he admitted: "Yes, he also brought another psychic to assist him. When we found him, he ran away directly and disappeared in a cloud of black fog."

"Black fog? What psychic?"

"It's hard to tell from the repulse. It must be a psychic who has never been registered, a civilian psychic."

Of course, not all psychics are willing to be bound by the empire.

Everyone's ideas are always different.

Some psychics who are willing to be governed by the empire have already taken the initiative to join the government or the army.

There are also some who want to join forces and get the benefits that can only be obtained by joining forces, but do not want to join the government and the army, so they will find forces within the empire to join.

For example, various companies and research institutes, they all welcome psychics to join.

Of course, there will be psychics who do not want to participate in the government, the army, or any company affairs.

Then they can choose to join a loose organization like the psychic association.

There are people who do not want to join anything.

The empire does not force these people. As long as they register, they will be released directly. No one will pay too much attention if they do not cause trouble.

Unless there are psychics like Chen Ming who have special psychic effects, they cannot be given up no matter what, and they will always attract the attention of the empire.

And there are psychics who do not want to be subject to any control at all.

They have been hiding in certain places in the empire and are not exposed to anyone's vision.

So it is not impossible for a psychic with a teleportation ability to suddenly pop up.

Hu Yi is an old psychic after all, so it is not surprising that such a person appears in his network.

"So why did he come here suddenly? Revenge? I haven't bothered him yet, and he came to me?"

"I remember that he was employed by the high-level of the war zone before. I didn't face him directly. I just killed Yan Xiong. He has a good relationship with Yan Xiong?"

Bai Quan thought for a while and said, "I have never heard of such a thing."

"Because of you, I paid attention to Hu Yi for a while."

"After the last incident, the high-level people in the war zone were overturned, and he shouldn't show up."

"And I heard that the meaning of the higher-ups was to ignore Yan Xiong. After all, he and the people in the war zone were an employment relationship from the source."

"What Hu Yi did was just wandering around the galaxy and stopping Wu An. Even you There is no problem in our psychic society, after all, the one who started it is not a member of the psychic society. "

"This is a conflict between psychics, and the conflicting parties need to solve it themselves. As long as it does not affect other ordinary people, the empire will not intervene."

Chen Ming grasped the key words in Bai Quan's words and said: "Since you said it was originally."

"Yes, I don't know who gave him a trivial wanted notice later."

"You don't know who it is either?"

"Yes, I can't find out,"

"Originally, there was only a hidden conflict between you and him, but someone put this matter on the surface."

"And originally, this kind of wanted notice should not be taken care of, but Yan Xiong did not have any news after that time."

"I didn't expect it to appear in this situation now."

Chen Ming frowned and asked: "Why do you think he chose to act now? It's okay to offend me, he has offended me a long time ago. Did he think he was too long to act on your Fourteenth Army's chassis?"

"Maybe he thinks that you have joined our Fourteenth Army and there will be no chance in the future? He wants to kill you before you are strictly protected and grow up?"

Chen Ming nodded and said: "It's possible."

Bai Quan's terminal suddenly received a message. He took a look and said: "I have already posted the situation here. Soon there will be a website in the military and government systems that specifically publishes wanted notices for psychics and put his name on it."

"There is such a website? No wonder they say that the wanted notice is useless. Doesn't Hu Yi know about this website?"

Bai Quan explained: "Not many people know about this website, but it stands to reason that the wanted notices posted outside are completely useless for psychics. He should know about this matter. I don't understand what's going on with him. He can't be really related to Zuo Jingche, right? "

Chen Ming could only say casually: "Who knows?"

"No one knows what he thinks, but you have to be careful recently. If he has the ability to escape, he should have the ability to come back."

"It's okay. If he can come to me again next time, it won't be my problem."

Bai Quan was stunned for a moment before reacting, and said: "Really, if he can meet you again, I must take full responsibility."

"If he dares to come next time, we will definitely be able to keep him, but we may not be able to completely stop him from meeting you, and you may still be in danger."

"I know, I will be on guard."

Hu Yi, a hostile psychic who knows that Yan Xiong died in his hands, is extremely wary of him, and can also compete with the boss, makes Chen Ming feel troubled just thinking about it.

"Tell me about his situation when you have a chance, and I'll find a way to kill him."

"Okay, I'll tell you when I have time. By the way, how is your research going?"

Bai Quan's abrupt turn to this aspect made Chen Ming couldn't help laughing.

"Not bad, you should have seen the situation nearby. Give me a few more days and I can organize the details and write them down."

Just as Chen Ming and Bai Quan finished talking, Bai Quan continued to command the rescue.

At the other end of the empire, near the sunset star field where the empire and the main forces of Yuhui were fighting, on a planet with a pleasant climate.

Hu Yi, who was lying on a recliner in his backyard, suddenly received a call. He opened his eyes and took a look. It was the president's call.

"Hello?"

"You want to kill Chen Ming?"

Hu Yi was stunned and asked back: "What did you say?"

The president quickly explained to him the news he got from Bai Quan.

Hu Yi responded with a puzzled look on his face: "But I didn't do anything. I hid somewhere else after I told you last time. How about I give you a video now?"

"Then let's do it with a video."

Hu Yi immediately stood up and set off for the local government department.

Ten minutes later, the president confirmed that Hu Yi did not go to the 14th Corps.

"But the news from the 14th Corps has been confirmed. Because of your relationship with Chen Ming and Wu An, I can't intervene directly. You can find a way to solve it yourself. I'll give you the contact information of the 14th Corps and Chen Ming."

Hu Yi could only return to his home with a sense of anger at being impersonated.

He knew from the previous incident that he had made a wrong decision. A psychic who was supported by the Empire and the Psychic Association was not someone he could offend.

So he completely cut off his relationship with Zuo Jing, ran to the other side of the Empire alone, and found a place to live in seclusion far away from the Galo Star Region.

He was afraid that Chen Ming would find him one day.

He even wanted to hibernate for a hundred or eighty years and wait for Chen Ming to die of old age before crawling out.

But he finally gave up on this idea and found a place to enjoy life.

Anyway, the money was in hand, and no one would hold him, a psychic, responsible for an employment relationship.

But now, this situation also led to him not having enough evidence to prove that he did nothing.

After all, no one knew what he was doing when he was in seclusion.

He had to find a way to solve this problem.

He would not take the blame for assassinating Chen Ming. At most, he had talked to Wu An for a while before.

Hu Yi thought for a while and called Wu An.
