Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 327 Experiment

"..."

"What's the meaning?"

Chen Ming was stunned.

He didn't see clearly what just happened.

However, his psychic ability still allowed him to sense what had just happened.

To put it simply, the phase beast did not slow down when it approached Chen Ming's robot, and then directly smashed his robot into pieces.

And through the material that Chen Ming could control that was left at the scene at this time, Chen Ming could still hear the cry in the deep sea full of question marks.

It seemed to be wondering why the thing that had just attracted it had dissipated.

It didn't seem to notice Chen Ming's robot.

It's like a person was attracted by the sound of ants, but didn't notice the presence of the ants when he walked towards them, and simply trampled the ants to death.

Chen Ming's hypothesis may be that he was too far away to hear the specific source of the sound, and the phase beast in front of Chen Ming at this moment should be that he could not clearly perceive the position of Chen Ming's robot through the phase space.

Or maybe it's because the phase beast is actually interested in Chen Ming himself, and Chen Ming's true self is not here, so the phase beast cannot sense it clearly.

This is probably the case.

In short, Chen Ming still had some difficulty in creating a new robot at a nearby location.

After hearing the phase beast's voice through this robot, the phase beast seemed to sense the existence of his robot again and flew towards Chen Ming's new robot.

However, the result can be said to be exactly the same as before.

The phase beast still didn't notice Chen Ming's robot, and crashed it directly without slowing down.

Chen Ming was a little unconvinced and wanted to build a robot directly on the phase beast.

However, although the space where the phase beast is located seems to be empty, the phase beast itself exists there, and Chen Ming's robot cannot create it.

Moreover, there seemed to be some kind of special position around the phase beast's body, and Chen Ming's psychic energy could not act on it. He could only keep a distance of about tens of meters to create a new robot.

Chen Ming thought for a moment and chose to create it in the air above the phase beast's head.

Once built, the robot will land on the back of the phase beast, roughly where it is on its back.

However, just after Chen Ming's robot heard the voice of the phase beast again, and the phase beast sensed Chen Ming again,

It didn't know whether it felt a foreign object on its back or something. It subconsciously turned over and flopped around on the ground, crushing the robot into pieces again.

"..."

Listening to the confused voice of the phase beast once again losing its complete and clear perception of Chen Ming, Chen Ming fell silent.

He could tell from the phase beast's voice that it was not absolutely aggressive, and that anger and fear were not directed at him.

But they can't communicate or have contact at this time.

There is absolutely no way to stop the phase beast from continuing to act foolishly.

Otherwise, let’s give up here for now.

Chen Ming felt that he had to see if there was a chance to get a phase ship from the Ship Research Institute quickly, and try to use the phase ship to enter the phase space to contact the phase beast.

If they were all in phase space, the phase beast might be able to clearly sense the position of his robot.

While the phase beast was still confused, Chen Ming quickly sped up his movements and drove the shuttle to the second mechanical colony where the beast had just left.

The mechanical armed forces here have been almost completely destroyed, and Chen Ming can easily control the entire colony.

And here, Chen Ming also found a new psychic mechanical creature that destroyed psychic energy.

It looks a little different from the second and third ones.

Chen Ming chose to send this destructive mechanical psychic creature away as well, and then conduct unified research on it.

Soon, most of the colony was in ruins.

Chen Ming once again found the control center of the colony.

After borrowing some equipment from the mechanical tribe, Chen Ming was somewhat regretful that he could not find another mechanical psychic biological transformation facility.

There is only one facility in the three colonies on the entire planet, and this facility has been damaged a lot.

Chen Ming had a headache.

He had originally thought that the other two colonies would also have this facility.

If not, then we really have to conduct experiments with only one-third of the facilities that are still operational.

Chen Ming was still somewhat reluctant to conduct a final search using metallic liquid scattered in the only two colonies on the planet.

The result, of course, was nothing.

It's better to withdraw then.

Before leaving, Chen Ming finally confirmed the location of the phase beast.

I found that it went back to doing its own thing after being confused just now.

After turning around and ravaging the ruins of the second colony, it headed to the location of the third colony.

However, Chen Ming has used psychic energy to take away the intact third colony and all the mechanical individuals on it.

Therefore, judging from the position of the sound at this time, the phase beast is most likely hovering over the original third colony.

Listening to the voice, it seemed that he was beginning to be confused and confused again.

However, after carefully observing the original site where the third colony was moved, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in its voice.

Chen Ming is not sure, but it should be this emotion.

Chen Ming finally tried to build a robot to contact the phase beast, but unfortunately the result was the same.

The phase beast excitedly walked over to Chen Ming's robot, then crushed the robot into pieces, falling into a confused reincarnation once again.

so be it.

Chen Ming left some metallic liquid on the planet and buried some body tissue of the Queen of Insects deep underground.

He also controlled the stardust level outside the orbit and visited all the planets in the galaxy, leaving a little bit behind.

He then dismantled the Stardust and completely handed over the galaxy to the Legion.

At the same time, he also plans to return his main consciousness to his body. He still has many things to study next.

However, Chen Ming did not have time to do so.

His prosthesis at the legion headquarters suddenly received a call.

It's called from Bai Quan.

The prosthesis of the headquarters is still leaving the headquarters on the shuttle boat.

There happened to be nothing wrong, so Chen Ming picked up the phone.

Bai Quan's voice sounded: "Isn't that... a little too much?"

Chen Ming immediately realized that Bai Quan was probably referring to the fact that he had just ran back and forth twice about the information about the Machine Tribe and took away a colony.

He responded somewhat innocently: "I feel okay. The main reason is that it would take too long for the Legion to come over. The phase monster has already demolished the colony several times."

"It's better if I keep some of it now than to demolish it, right?"

"You can tell me if the legion needs anything, right?"

As for what the legion needs when the time comes, whether Chen Ming has it on hand is another matter.

"Okay... Anyway, we have to wait three days. Let's see if we can do something when the legion fleet arrives in three days."

Bai Quan just came over to ask, and it was indeed as Chen Ming said, before the legion's fleet arrived, what happened in the galaxy basically had nothing to do with the legion.

Only after the fleet arrives will the legion be qualified to make decisions.

Communication ended.

Chen Ming glanced at the autonomous driving system of the shuttle boat. The destination was fine, it was at the Ship Research Institute.

Before the shuttle boat arrived, Chen Ming continued to switch his main consciousness to his body.

His body now has two things to do.

One is an experiment on mechanical psychic biological transformation equipment.

One is to study clearly the situation of the mechanical psychic creatures of the mechanical race, especially the mechanical psychic creatures that destroy psychic powers.

How do these mechanical psychic creatures use their psychic powers? Why do they have spiritual enlightenment nerves in their bodies that should not appear in biological bodies?

These two things can actually be classified as one thing.

So Chen Ming simply conducted research in the order in which the mechanical psychic creatures themselves appeared.

That is to say, first figure out what can be produced from the remaining one-third of the mechanical, psychic and biological transformation facilities.

Then, based on the results of his own experiments, combined with them, he will study the mechanical psychic creatures themselves.

At the highest point of the pioneering base, the research area filled with various research facilities occupies the middle section of the ship at the highest point.

Although most of the space is occupied by research equipment, there is still no problem in inserting a new piece of equipment into the corners of the middle section of the spacecraft.

Chen Ming had already delivered the things before.

And when he came here in person, he looked like he was going to activate the equipment.

Chaofan, who usually has been studying the area, immediately asked him a bunch of questions.

It's probably about what this device is and how it works.

Of course Chen Ming didn't know what the long-distance principle of this device was.

And since Chaofan can ask this question, it definitely doesn't know the answer to it.

This means that the technology of this thing is really ahead of the technology of Empire and Afterglow by at least one era.

So Chen Ming didn't give Chaofan an answer, he just asked him to look at the experiment he was going to do next.

The experiment of the mechanical psionic biological transformation facility is, of course, the transformation of psionic creatures.

Although it seems that ordinary creatures that are not psychic creatures can also be transformed, but if conditions permit, you must use something good.

Each of the Zerg units produced by the Queen can use a certain level of the Queen's psychic powers.

Just use bugs to try to transform.

Then the next question comes, which Zerg unit is the most suitable?

There are many types of Zerg individuals.

Parasite eggs as small as spores and as large as Titan bugs, which are more than thirty meters in size and charge at the front lines of the battlefield, are all possible targets.

However, which one to choose depends on the maximum size that the conversion device can fit into.

Although only one-third of the mechanical psychic biological transformation facility has been demolished, the core position has not been damaged too seriously. It is still about thirty meters high and is in the shape of a hemisphere.

The Titan bug might be able to be accommodated if it was squeezed a little, but Chen Ming was not ready to take out the Titan bug for a dangerous experiment.

Try to choose a moderate body shape.

Chen Ming thought for a while.

The final choice was a Zerg individual about four meters in size, very similar to An Wuping after he entered the insect state.

Of course, this is a pure Zerg individual. There is no technology in An Wuping that combines Chen Ming's own spiritual power, the Queen's spiritual power, and the origin of chaos. It also does not incorporate Chen Ming's genes. It is a pure Zerg race.

Such an individual's overall quality can be said to be the strongest among the Zerg units, and is a good choice.

After filling the hole on the top of the cabin with materials similar to the cabin.

Chen Ming stuffed the bug into the open hatch.

Just after Chen Ming pressed the start button, the conversion facility suddenly prompted Chen Ming that there was a lack of available materials.

Some key materials are provided by the facility, but as the main materials for the mechanical psychic creatures. Chen Ming needs to provide them.

If it is related to the mechanical race, Baiyun steel is obviously the most suitable.

But Chen Ming chose another material.

The psychic Baiyun steel produced by Yan Xiong has a purity of 100%.

After Chen Ming filled in the materials.

The hatch of the facility was closed, and the bug Chen Ming stuffed in was sent to the center of the cabin.

Chen Ming can also use psychic energy to sense everything that this Zerg encountered.

After an extremely rigorous scan, the facility suddenly released a large number of nanorobots that looked like iron sand at a glance, covering the Zerg units.

According to the results of the scan just now, they slowly transformed every cell and every bit of keratin of the Zerg units into mechanical structures.

Although the Zerg do not have pain nerves, they still have a sense of damage.

At this time, the Zerg unit in the conversion facility transmitted to Chen Ming through the hive mind network without any sense of pain.

The conversion does not cause any pain or damage to the organism.

And although Chen Ming used 100% pure psychic white cloud steel as the raw material, it did not seem to have any effect on the process. These nanorobots simply converted biological cell tissues into machines made of psychic white cloud steel.

The entire operation process seemed to be normal, as if the loss of those external devices did not affect the basic functions of the conversion device.

However, the good times did not last long.

The progress of the conversion facility had just converted the part below the calf of the Zerg individual into steel, and the operation of the facility suddenly stalled.

Those nanorobots also paused at any time.

Then they continued to run.

Chen Ming immediately paid 100% attention.

Because the equipment had obviously failed just now but it was still running.

If the failed equipment continued to run, God knows what consequences would be caused.

In the meantime, those nanorobots continued to convert biological cells into machinery.

However.

Unlike just now, not all biological cells were transformed by nanorobots. The transformation process of these nanorobots after the failure was intermittent.

The feet and calves that had been transformed were pure machinery, but the thighs became a mixture of biological tissue and metal.

The transformation process was running, but it was incomplete.

And the incomplete result was like this.

While Chen Ming was observing, the transformation facility was still transforming the bodies of the Zerg individuals, allowing its flesh and blood to be further mixed with metal.

Moreover, the protection of the transformation parts by these nanorobots during the transformation was also ineffective.

Gray-green blood flowed, and the gray-white muscles seemed to be filled with countless sharp blades.

The Zerg individual felt that his body was being hurt.

And this injury was extremely severe and terrifying.

Its body instinctively repaired its injuries and filled the flesh and blood tissue transformed by the nanorobots.

However, the tissues it used to repair would also be further damaged by the nanorobots in the transformation facility.

The further injuries caused by this further transformation forced the individual Zerg to increase the strength of repair.

This vicious cycle caused the entire worm to become swollen.

Sure enough, the damaged facility still could not lead to the correct result.

The transformation process soon came to the end.

The hatch of the facility opened, revealing a half-biological and half-mechanical monster with a body size of ten meters.

A bloated, slow, and seemingly dead monster at any time.

But it was at least based on the Zerg gene, and was a Zerg individual created based on the insect form that Chen Ming and the Queen of the Zerg had studied for a long time. It would not die for a while.

It even crawled out of the cabin, leaving a large pool of gray-green blood on the ground, and greedily devoured the energy crystal that Chen Ming had prepared in advance.

Chen Ming watched silently and recorded silently.

Although its transformation process was not completed, it unexpectedly retained the characteristics of both the Zerg and the Mechanical Clan.

It can maintain its own life by devouring any object like the Zerg, and it also has the steel body of the Mechanical Clan.

Moreover, Chen Ming discovered that the steel bodies on its body can be enhanced by the Queen's psychic energy.

Even the Queen's psychic energy can affect the nanorobots that every normal mechanical race has after the transformation process is completed.

Although the transformation process of the individual Zerg race is only half completed, there are indeed nanorobots in its body to repair the damage to its mechanical parts.

These nanorobots can increase their efficiency under the influence of the Queen's psychic energy.

What's even more outrageous is that these nanorobots can actually continue to operate like the Zerg, not by electricity, but by eating or directly absorbing nutrients from the bodies of Zerg individuals.

There is no barrier between biology, machinery and psychic energy in it.

I don’t know if it’s the Queen’s psychic power, or if it’s the Queen’s psychic power that becomes like this after being mixed with Chen Ming’s psychic power, or if it’s the effect of that facility.

I can only say that the current situation can be explained in a more scientific way, that is, after the transformation, there are also biological cells of individual Zerg in these mechanical components.

If it is explained in a more psychic way, then the psychic power of Chen Ming and the Queen’s psychic power is so outrageous.

In short, while this Zerg individual that has become a monster can call on the Queen’s psychic power, the Queen can still control it.

The effect of Chen Ming’s psychic power is the same. He can also directly use psychic power to control, repair, and transform this monster.

Whether it is the mechanical or biological part of it.

Even, use deep repair psychic power.

Of course Chen Ming didn’t do this.

He came to test, not to play with psychic power.

He wanted to see the result of a failed experiment and summarize the experience in the failure, rather than a failed result suddenly disappeared, and Chen Ming couldn’t learn anything from it.

However, although the experiment can be said to have failed, after all, it was indeed a useless monster.

But it can also be said to be successful.

Because Chen Ming can see the possibility of future development from this crippled monster.

It perfectly combines the advantages of machinery and biology.

It can also obtain gains from both, but it is not very outstanding because of the damage of the facilities. Its value has been reflected.

Chen Ming had this idea before, combining machinery and biology, but there has been no suitable opportunity to try and realize it.

Unexpectedly, this facility completed the preliminary experiment and verified the feasibility.

He also found two inspirations from the failed results in front of him.

For example, the Zerg biological building that has not made much progress.

Although the larvae hatching pool technology made by the queen is basically stable, it is not necessary for each larvae to lay eggs in person.

But the further research progress of the worker insect breeding room is not ideal, let alone the combat Zerg.

Because the Zerg has many types and complex functions, and different numbers are needed at different times, the number of breeding rooms required for an entire Zerg nest is an exaggerated number.

So the progress is slow.

However, the research progress of the crystal worm breeding room is quite fast.

However, Chen Ming has already sold the energy crystal technology to the legion. After that, he can make money by dividends without any output, and he doesn't need to work. This is very embarrassing.

However, Chen Ming's new idea should be able to make up for the other worker insect breeding rooms

Biological buildings are indeed not easy to make, but the difficulty is different if you only talk about cultivating a certain biological building.

Chen Ming feels that he can first use machinery to make suitable facilities for cultivating worker insects, and then let the queen insect transform them into biological buildings.

Since the queen insect can transform cruisers, a small building should not be a problem.

This is what Chen Ming thinks that the queen insect can try.

As for another idea that Chen Ming just had in his mind, it is to implant various mechanical devices, such as prostheses, into the Zerg to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Zerg.

But he just thought about it and had no intention of executing this idea.

Because of the cost.

The Zerg itself only needs to eat to reproduce.

And installing mechanical equipment and prostheses on these Zergs requires various investments and time.

The cost of producing Zergs has increased significantly, and the Zerg has lost some of its advantages.

In addition, the Zerg itself is strong enough, and with the Queen's psychic amplification, its strength is not lower than some mechanical structures.

But if the Zerg is transformed into a machine...

If it is transformed using a mechanical psychic biological conversion device, it may be possible to use psychic energy to affect the mechanical part.

But if it is directly implanted into a prosthesis, it is not certain whether the psychic energy can still work.

It is not certain whether it can be completely transformed from a biological to a mechanical through facilities.

So even if many metals are stronger than the Zerg's carapace, or even stronger than the Queen's enhanced body.

Chen Ming will not easily try to implant prostheses into the Zerg.

At most, Chen Ming will use these technologies on some elite guards Zerg that the Queen may need.

Or... use them on the Zerg's top biological spacecraft.

No matter which one, this technology will definitely not be used for the time being.

And we must wait until the Queen wakes up from evolution.

In short, continue to cultivate this half-mechanical and half-biological monster for two days to see if we can research more new things from it.

Chen Ming plans to call this half-mechanical, half-insect creature Sample Zero, and all subsequent research can start from it.

At the same time, Chen Ming also plans to continue using and testing this damaged psychic biological transformation facility and continue to put more Zergs into it.

See if he can cultivate a real mechanical Zerg when the equipment is damaged.

However, before the next step of action begins, Chen Ming still has a problem to solve.

Why doesn't this half-biological, half-mechanical Sample Zero have a [Mechanical Spiritual Awakening Nerve]?
