Chapter 232 Gambling Agreement

The researcher who was suspected of being a psyker looked apologetic towards Chen Ming.

After questioning Chen Ming, he said: "If you have read my document, you should be able to see that the document I wrote is basically data based on the extreme exercise efficiency of normal psychic energy. ”

"I have heard that you are a member of the Psychic Association. You may not understand some of the contents in the document, but you should be able to see that the estimated value of this document is far less than your current total mental power and spiritual power. Recovery speed.”

"I hope you can give some reasonable explanations through the evidence of the theoretical upper limit recorded in my document."

The researcher spoke politely, but Chen Ming did not want to speak politely now: "You want a reasonable explanation? Then I think there is something wrong with what you wrote."

The researcher was not angry. Instead, he said to Chen Ming, "What's the problem? I'm all ears."

"Basically there are problems."

The researcher's face suddenly became a little confused, but he still controlled himself and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Chen Ming, we all know that the psionic association emphasizes the natural development of psionic people. You should not know how to exercise your mental power. The systematic way is meditation, right?”

"Psychics who have not systematically practiced meditation can only exercise their psychic powers by using psychic energy to exhaust their mental power."

"And through this method of using psychic energy to consume mental power, once the mental power is consumed to about 20%, this excessive mental power loss will have some negative effects on consciousness."

"This will cause the human body's consciousness to become extremely tired for the rest of the day, and this state may continue the next day, leading to various situations such as confusion, difficulty in concentrating mental power, and difficulty in using spiritual energy."

"It may even cause the psyker's mental training efficiency to be close to zero the next day, and he must take a thorough rest to recover."

Chen Ming suddenly hesitated to speak because what the researcher said was different from his own experience.

However, the researcher looked like he was still planning to talk, so Chen Ming didn't say anything directly.

Waiting for the researcher to continue speaking: "Even before the rest of the day, I have relied on self-recovery or drugs and other stimulation to restore my mental power to the maximum value."

"But as long as the mental power drops to a very low level, you will still be tired the next day, and the effect of the second mental power-consuming exercise is far less than the first time. There is no way to enhance the exercise effect by repeatedly consuming mental power. Way."

"According to my calculation, even if you consume 90% of your mental energy for exercise every day, the exercise effect will be optimal every day."

"At the same time, we don't look at the strength of psychic energy. We only look at the amount of mental power. Your mental power is not enough to reach this level."

"Not to mention the speed of mental power recovery required to restore such huge mental power."

"How do you explain these? What's wrong with these contents?"

"..."

Chen Ming did not reply immediately after the researcher finished speaking. Instead, he carefully recalled the time when he had just awakened his spiritual power and landed on Ruimu.

He seems to take the initiative to completely exhaust his mental energy before going to bed every day, even to the point of overflowing.

This kind of exercise efficiency alone seems to have exceeded the normal situation mentioned by this researcher.

So Chen Ming suddenly wanted to laugh, but he still restrained himself and said, "Wait a minute, I have a question to ask."

"The effect of exercise is not through meditation, but by directly consuming mental energy. I feel that the closer the consumed mental energy is to exhaustion, the better the effect will be, right?"

The researcher did not refuse to answer the question because of Chen Ming's attitude. Instead, he explained to Chen Ming: "That's true, but the extra exercise gained by continuing to consume the last 20% or so of mental energy is simply not worth the loss the next day. A full day of exercise efficiency”

"So even if someone uses this method instead of meditation to exercise mental power, generally no one will be greedy for the efficiency of this last bit of mental exercise."

"At most, only some people with better talents who can withstand more mental energy consumption will choose to deliberately consume more mental energy to exercise, so I set it to 90% when calculating."

"That's it."

His patient answer made Chen Ming feel a little embarrassed, and his tone became a little calmer, no longer targeting the researcher that Lou Wei had hired.

"Then let me first correct the mistake I just made. Your content is fine for other people, but it is problematic for me."

"Please say."

Chen Ming organized his words a little and said, "That's it. Almost every day in the past, I completely exhausted my mental energy."

The researcher was silent for a long time before adding: "The complete exhaustion of mental power is not as simple as mental exhaustion, lack of concentration, and the inability to use psychic powers the next day."

"This situation will cause self-psychic shock in the brain, causing the psychic to fall into a coma."

"Depending on the amount and intensity of the overflowing mental power from using psychic energy when the mental power is exhausted, the duration of psychic coma ranges from a few minutes to a few days."

"If the coma lasts longer, it may cause damage to the spiritual nerves, or even complete brain damage."

"You said you exhaust your mental energy every day, are you sure you're not kidding?"

Chen Ming said firmly: "No."

"I'm just used to exhausting all my mental energy before going to bed every day. I'll be knocked into coma by the psychic shock and then sleep until the next day. This is quite convenient for me."

"Because I didn't sleep well when I was surviving in the wilderness, so I often did this."

Cheng Xinghai suddenly said to Chen Ming in the private chat channel: "Did you take psychic shock as a sleeping pill?"

Seeing that Chen Ming ignored her, Cheng Xinghai turned his head boredly.

The researcher sitting opposite Chen Ming asked Chen Ming in disbelief: "Does the psychic shock have no effect on you?"

"It was a little bit the first few days, and I felt a little tired when I woke up the next day. I'll just get used to it later."

"By the way, I have an ectoplasmic stone with negative effects as an auxiliary for training. It may be due to this reason. In short, the psychic shock is just like that to me."

The researcher pushed up his glasses and covered his somewhat changed facial expression with his hand.

He had never heard of anyone being able to get used to psychic shocks with the help of a negative ectoplasmic stone. No matter how powerful the ectoplasmic stone was, it shouldn't behave like this.

But with Chen Ming's psychic abilities, he had never seen any similar type of psychic exist before.

It was impossible for him to directly conclude that Chen Ming could not do this.

Moreover, the peculiarities of psychic powers have not been thoroughly studied until now. There were indeed some psychics who did things that were absolutely impossible based on data alone.

After all, psykers are people who influence reality with their own will. As long as they think hard, they may be able to do many seemingly impossible things.

Besides, he was just here to help as a juror, not to offend anyone.

So now he simply agreed with Chen Ming's statement and said: "I did not take this into account. How strong is your spirit stone?"

Chen Ming asked directly: "How about letting Lou Wei try it himself?"

"No need for that. If you have a chance, let me do it. Don't kill people."

The researcher's words confirmed his identity as a psyker.

"But it's not enough just to improve your exercise efficiency with the ectoplasm stone. Even if your exercise efficiency is twice that of others, there is still a big gap between the calculated gap and your actual mental power. You also have other assistance. Something for psychic training?”

Chen Ming waved his hand and said: "There are some things that are inconvenient to say, but I can go to the president of the association to help me guarantee that I have things to assist in psychic training. If you need it..."

"That's no need."

The researcher quickly refused. He didn't want to offend the wrong people.

And now he can probably guess what is on Chen Ming's body. There are not many things that can assist in spiritual training, so he can guess what is on Chen Ming's body after a little screening.

Combined with Chen Ming's most basic psychic effect of being able to control the spacecraft, there is a high probability that it is the ship spirit, and there is no need for anyone to verify it.

And since Chen Ming's psychic power can control the spacecraft, it is natural to create something like a ship spirit.

The researcher did not dwell on whether Chen Ming had these things, and continued to ask in other aspects: "Then can you roughly estimate how many times your extra mental strength training efficiency is? Not counting more consumption of mental energy. to exercise.”

"Exercise efficiency without mental energy consumption? Let me think about it...at least five times."

Chen Ming's five times is still at least. The efficiency of mental training provided by the ship spirit and two condensed spiritual energy sources around him is already more than five times.

And he can actually clearly feel that if he consumes mental energy multiple times a day for exercise, the effect of each exercise will not be significantly attenuated.

Moreover, he also has two large numbers of individuals from the hive mind network as assistants. This five times is no longer an understatement, but a leg-breaking statement.

The researcher's confused voice mixed with doubt and disbelief confirmed with Chen Ming: "Five times?"

"I'm just stating the facts and I don't like joking with strangers."

"But if it's five times...it seems a bit worse, right?"

Chen Ming said as if he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way, I have something else I can tell you, Qiling Nerve."

The researcher immediately responded: "I know you have obtained one from Bai Zhongjiang and absorbed it, but I have already added it to you."

"But you probably don't know that I also absorbed one from Yuhui."

"Two?"

There was a bit of astonishment on the researcher's face, and he asked: "Are you sure there are two? The time between the absorption of the spiritual nerves in these chats should not be more than two months, right? Is there no problem with your mental strength and mental state?"

"My mental power is very stable. You should be able to tell my mental state, right? If you give me another spiritual nerve, I can still absorb it."

The researcher psyker was silent, calculating in his mind for a while, then raised his head and asked Chen Ming: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there is another thing I am experimenting with that can increase my mental power and psychic power, but it is not convenient to say."

"And even if I say it, you may not understand it. This is a special effect of my psychic power."

"Stop, that's enough. This is enough."

The researcher suddenly made a gesture of pause, and then said to Lou Wei next to him: "If we go by what Chen Ming said, his current mental strength is indeed enough to reach this level, enough to control a colony. There is no problem. It's me. The calculations missed something out of specification.”

"Of course, I can't confirm whether Chen Ming did what he said in the past, and whether he had these things, but this is not something I am responsible for."

The researcher nodded to Chen Ming, Lou Wei and Bai Quan and retreated to the corner of the conference room.

He found a seat and sat down casually, as if he was ready to watch a show.

Others also broke out into a small wave of discussion again.

"That is to say, in theory, if Chen Ming can really do it, then his development potential is higher than that of the president of the Psychic Association and Wu An."

"Lou Wei seems to have messed with the wrong person."

"It's not a mistake. If he doesn't provoke him now, Chen Ming won't be able to just watch the conflict with Bai Quan."

"There will be some fun to watch later."

Lou Wei next to him has been sweating on his forehead since the first words Chen Ming and the researcher said.

Especially since the psyker researcher had now made it clear that he would have no involvement in the matter, he was already sweating a little.

But when Chen Ming looked at him again, he suddenly thought of another explanation: "This kind of calculation is only paper data after all. There is no way to prove that Chen Ming really has the ability to do this."

Chen Ming asked, "Then how do you want me to prove it?"

"The simplest way is to do a test directly for you. Whatever the test result is, that's what it is."

Chen Ming banged the table and asked, "Who do you think you are? I'll test you if you ask me to?"

Someone who knew him immediately said, "Chen Ming is a psyker of the Psychic Association. The rules of the Psychic Association cannot be subject to any systematic inspection. You are really making things difficult for me."

Seeing that Lou Wei still wanted to speak, the person who just reminded him immediately added: "Unless you have the ability to ask the president of the association to change the rules, don't mention it."

Lou Wei was choked, but continued: "But how long has it been since he became a psyker? One year? Can mental power affect the entire colony in one year? Who believes it?"

Chen Ming was too lazy to talk to him at this time and scolded him directly: "It's a joke, then I will just say one sentence now, who believes that your mother is still alive? Where is the evidence?"

"you!"

"What are you doing? How about we take a gamble? I'll bet on your life!"

Pang Dong, who had been silent next to him, also came up to dissuade him: "Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no, don't say angry words."

While comforting Chen Ming, he said to Lou Wei: "The specific physical examination and psychic test are definitely unacceptable to Chen Ming. The special psychic data that he was asked to see before was actually a bit beyond theirs." There are restrictions, and you definitely can’t force others to do so.”

As he said that, he looked at Chen Ming and asked, "But it should be no problem to use psychic energy directly, right?"

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Pang Dong was helping him.

"There's no problem with using it directly. As long as it's not for testing, I don't care."

Lou Wei was already a little confused about what to do at this time. Someone proposed a method to verify the specific amount of Chen Ming's mental power. He said without thinking: "Then let him try it himself!"

At this time, Bai Quan suddenly questioned Lou Wei: "You are here to provide a colony for Chen Ming to test? All the things that Chen Minngling can control are under his control. Do you have the capital to gamble with a colony?"

"And if you really want to test an industrial colony that's the same size as yours, it's not enough, right? There's no way a colony can measure Chen Ming's psychic recovery speed."

"If you can get two industrial colonies similar to those in the simulation to be tested by Chen Ming, if Chen Ming can't achieve the same effect as in the simulation within the same time, then I will consider him cheating."

"I immediately handled the matter in accordance with the rules of the Fourteenth Legion. With so many people here watching, I couldn't possibly break my promise."

"Two colonies..."

When it came time to actually take out something, Lou Wei suddenly hesitated again. He hesitated and did not dare to actually accept it.

"Whoever questions, who gives evidence, who provides the environment for Chen Ming to prove himself, shouldn't anyone question others and ask others to prove themselves, right?"

Bai Quan's words made Lou Wei stand up again. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I'll come out."

"What do you have to offer? Where did you, a major general, get two industrial colonies?"

"I...have a friend I know..."

Chen Ming suddenly said as if he was looking at a fool: "This friend you are talking about, does he know that he is your friend?"

"You don't have to worry about it. I will send the galaxy coordinates to Bai Quan later. What if you are proven to have cheated?"

Bai Quan immediately said for Chen Ming: "If Chen Ming cheats, I will naturally compensate you for the colonial buildings controlled by Chen Ming. If you didn't cheat, these two colonies are the price you must bear for questioning Chen Ming."

"Okay, that's it."

Bai Quan immediately drew up an agreement and placed it in front of Chen Ming and Lou Wei.

After Chen Ming signed decisively, Lou Wei hesitated and signed.

Although this is a simulated conference room infiltrated by deep consciousness, the agreement signed is still legally effective as long as it is not signed in the actual battle simulation with a set background.

Once signed, no one can escape.

"Then the second thing is that you obtained the administrator privileges of the simulation device through illegal means, terminated the official battle for no reason, and even cheated in the battle. You should bear the price of this matter immediately."

"The supervisory department has replied to me and will be at your door soon."

"Then there is one last thing now."

"You terminated the simulation and caused the research content of Chen Ming's research institute to be lost."

Bai Quan put a list of the flow of funds of part of the 14th Corps in the Galo Star Region on the table, including 500 million research funds for Chen Ming's research institute.

"I give Chen Ming's research institute 500 million a month of research funding, and almost a month has passed in the simulation."

"Let's not talk about the research content first, just talk about the wasted time and energy. This money can't be less, right?"

"I can give the research funds, and I can give twice the lost month. There is a precedent for this compensation plan, so don't argue with me."

Bai Quan looked at Chen Ming, saw Chen Ming nodded, and then said to Lou Wei: "Very good, then let's talk about the synchrotron core."

"Wait a minute."

Lou Wei hurriedly said: "I don't recognize the synchrotron core now."

"I don't understand these, at least I have to wait until I find someone who understands these things before talking about this matter."

Bai Quan didn't force him, and said: "Then do as you say, and give you a chance to find someone."

Lou Wei suddenly stood up from the conference table and said: "Okay, I will accept all the punishments I should accept unconditionally, but I also want to see Chen Ming get the punishment he deserves."

After that, his figure gradually faded in the conference room.

While Lou Wei hadn't completely quit, Bai Quan said one last sentence: "It's not yet decided whether it was cheating or not. Whether it's a punishment or compensation depends on your efficiency."

After Lou Wei completely quit the simulation, no one in the conference room continued to talk for a while.

Bai Quan looked around and said, "Let's end it. I'm terminating this simulation."

The students and instructors said goodbye one after another. It won't be long before everything that happened today will spread throughout the 14th Corps.

As the vision went black again.

Chen Ming found that the acceleration of his thinking was gradually disappearing.

Soon, he opened his eyes in the freezing chamber-like device where he lay before entering the simulation.

At this time, Chen Ming suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, which made him want to devote himself to deep consciousness immersion again.

He seemed to have developed some dependence on consciousness acceleration.

Now Chen Ming knew why Cheng Xinghai said that deep consciousness immersion was limited to once a month.

If this is not restricted, it is likely to cause people to become addicted to drugs and never leave this thing again.

However, this was only the first time that Chen Ming had entered deep consciousness. After stopping the acceleration of his thinking, he quickly adapted to the feeling of slow thinking again.

And the main body also adapted faster because of the lower acceleration rate.

Although he was a little tired mentally, Chen Ming usually maintained a good work and rest schedule, and it was no big deal to stay up all night occasionally.

And more importantly, although Chen Ming failed to take away all the blocked information he had obtained from the simulation equipment.

But he still wrote down a part of it before the simulation was terminated, at least this part could not be taken away by anyone.

And it included the design blueprint of the giant dock.

In other words, when Chen Ming's colony develops to the point where it is capable of supporting the construction of a giant dock in the future, he will also be able to build his own battleship.

Chen Ming straightened up with a little excitement, and climbed out of the equipment after adjusting his mentality.

Just as Chen Ming was about to leave, a prompt sound suddenly came from the instrument behind him: "Please take your physical condition monitoring report."

Chen Ming turned around and saw a piece of paper full of content spit out next to the instrument.

Chen Ming put away the paper and walked out of the closed room.

Bai Quan happened to walk out of the next room at this time, and greeted Chen Ming: "Good morning."

"Good morning."

"Want to have breakfast?"

"Yes."
