Chapter 358 Progress

The star system occupied by the Empire in the territory of the Mechanical Clan that the two Mechanical Clan motherships were heading to was named Liugang by the Empire.

Liugang is not an important star system, but it has two standard industrial colonies of the Mechanical Clan.

The Empire destroyed the defense forces in the star system a week ago, leaving only a fleet company of about 150 ships stationed here.

Cooperate with the Empire's army to control and manage the industrial colonies of the Mechanical Clan.

There are many star systems like this, and there are definitely many more valuable star systems occupied by the Empire.

But the Mechanical Clan jumped here, making it difficult for Chen Ming to believe that the Mechanical Clan is not testing something.

But there is no time to think about it now.

The impact of the two motherships on the fleet here is absolutely devastating, and he has to take action immediately.

At this time, he is on the flagship of the company fleet in the Liugang star system.

Commander and captain Cheng Xinghai is staring at the console in front of him nervously in the main seat of the command room.

Obviously, she has discovered the sudden and undisguised jump fluctuations in the star system, and also noticed the huge scale of the jump fluctuations.

No matter what was behind the jump fluctuations of this scale, they were definitely not something they could resist now.

So she had reported the existence of the jump fluctuations to her superiors after ordering the fleet to stay away from the source of the jump fluctuations.

At this moment, she felt her wrist suddenly become a little heavy.

Looking down, some metal liquid was flowing out and dripping from her wrist, the wristband that Chen Ming gave her.

And these metal liquids dripping on the floor of the spacecraft were quickly forming a power armor robot.

The appearance of the robot immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the command room.

Several people picked up their weapons with caution, but immediately put them down under Cheng Xinghai's order.

Chen Ming's voice quickly came from the robot that had not yet been fully formed: "Retreat, there are two motherships of the mechanical race coming."

"I know."

No questions, no doubts.

Cheng Xinghai, who had roughly guessed the scale of the mechanical race's incoming military force, immediately issued an order to retreat, asking the fleet she led to retreat to the edge of the galaxy through hyperspace at the fastest speed.

Even if the superior's order had not come down yet, even if Chen Ming did not suddenly appear to remind her at this time, she had to make a decision at this time.

As long as she entered the hyperspace, she could quickly leave the galaxy using the hyperspace channel jump engine developed by Chen Ming, which had already been installed on the warships of the legion.

"Commander..."

Someone was about to say something, and Cheng Xinghai immediately said in an unquestionable voice: "Follow the order."

"Yes."

She turned to Chen Ming and said: "I have just told my superiors that the scale of the jump is large, and there are suspected capital ships. The superiors said that reinforcements are on the way."

Cheng Xinghai on the battlefield is very different from the Cheng Xinghai that Chen Ming knew in school before. When communicating, there is almost no emotion, and he looks extremely cold.

However, Chen Ming did not feel any problem.

Because after Cheng Xinghai finished the training camp, he and Cheng Xinghai basically never stopped communicating, and he had been guiding Cheng Xinghai to develop her psychic power.

And this ability to block all of one's own emotions is a way of applying an ability that Cheng Xinghai developed when he was developing the effect of strengthening his own brain.

Forcefully suppress some of your own emotions, and when making decisions and judgments, you can be unaffected by any emotions, and everything only follows logic.

In ordinary life, such psychic power is meaningless and useless with greater negative effects.

But on the battlefield, this ability is of great value.

There is no need to consider too many situations, just consider the reason why Chen Ming suddenly appeared here and what Cheng Xinghai saw himself, and you can analyze the most reasonable approach as quickly as possible.

That is, listen to Chen Ming's retreat and don't consider staying to indicate the target for the subsequent reinforcement fleet.

Chen Ming responded to Cheng Xinghai's words at this time: "It doesn't matter whether the reinforcements come or not, it may be better if they don't come."

"Why do you say that?"

Cheng Xinghai just asked the question, and the flagship's sensor scanned the jump fluctuations again.

And the scale of this jump fluctuation is even larger than that of the two motherships, and it has even covered the entire galaxy.

"That's the reason."

The two motherships of the mechanical race jumped into the galaxy the moment Chen Ming's words fell.

The fleet of Cheng Xinghai, the only one still sailing in space in the galaxy, was immediately locked.

The light on the ridge cannon suddenly lit up.

The metal liquid controlled by Chen Ming had not stopped spreading since just now, extending directly from the flagship where Cheng Xinghai was, and in a blink of an eye, the entire fleet of Cheng Xinghai was under his control.

The power of the scarlet dimension was activated, sending the entire fleet to the edge of the galaxy.

The attack of the mothership fell into the air.

The heart rate of everyone in the command room at least doubled in just a few seconds.

And the picture that suddenly distorted and quickly returned to normal in front of them made their heartbeats almost stop after reaching the limit.

But when they noticed that they were not dead, but seemed to be moved to other places by an unknown force.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Cheng Xinghai's face was a little pale, she used her psychic power to quickly suppress her insignificant emotions.

She knew that Chen Ming must have done something just now.

But just as she was about to speak, the subsequent jump fluctuations also condensed into shape.

The dark Zerg warship wrapped in the dark fog also arrived in the galaxy.

Cheng Xinghai immediately changed what she was going to say and asked, "What is that?"

"The Thorn Zerg." Chen Ming said, "Record the next picture, it will be valuable."

"The Thorn Zerg..."

Cheng Xinghai's first reaction was that these bugs were related to Chen Ming.

Although she didn't know An Wuping, nor did she know the connection between Chen Ming and An Wuping.

But she was very curious about Chen Ming's past some time ago, so she asked Chen Ming a lot of things in the past.

Naturally, she also knew about the bugs that almost killed Chen Ming in the mining space station.

But she didn't know why the Thorn Zerg actually had biological warships, surrounded by a thick layer of fog that looked extremely dangerous, and finally appeared here.

The Black Mist Zerg completely surrounded the two motherships, and the endless black fog was constantly devouring the motherships trapped in heavy siege.

The spacecraft at the edge of the galaxy could only see through sensors that the energy released by the main weapons in the black fog was rolling.

But those rolling energies looked no different from the mothership's dying struggle.

Then, before the war between the Zerg and the Mechanic was over, new fluctuations appeared at the edge of the galaxy again.

But this time it was not a jump fluctuation, because the jump in the galaxy could not be carried out due to the large-scale jump of the Black Mist Zerg.

What appeared now was a hyperspace fluctuation that was comparable to the jump fluctuation.

Countless Thorn Zerg fleets were entering the edge of the galaxy through hyperspace.

What they did was the same as what the Destroyer mothership did when Chen Ming attacked the Mechanic before and the jump fluctuation of the galaxy was blocked.

The appearance of these new Zergs was Chen Ming's backup plan to avoid direct conflict between the Black Mist Zerg and the Imperial Fleet.

The location where they appeared was just in front of the retreat direction of Cheng Xinghai's fleet.

The faces of the people in the flagship command room and all the spaceships in the fleet who had just survived the disaster suddenly changed again.

Cheng Xinghai was thinking quickly at this time, but she had no way to avoid it when facing absolute power.

"It's okay, just go straight over."

Chen Ming's voice made Cheng Xinghai find a way out of her thinking.

She immediately ordered: "Keep the formation, weapons silent, and keep moving forward."

Although the fleet was somewhat panicked and there were some operational errors, it still calmed down.

Many people on the spaceships have already reacted to how they just avoided the attack of the mechanical mothership, so when facing these biological warships this time, they should not be in trouble.

Just as Cheng Xinghai's fleet and the new Zerg fleet passed each other head-on and staggered without interfering with each other.

The black fog Zerg inside the galaxy suddenly seemed to have noticed something, became more crazy, and intensified the attack on the mechanical mothership.

Soon, there was no sound in the thick black fog.

When the Black Mist Zerg rearranged into a battle formation, the black mist gradually loosened, and the traces of the two mechanical motherships could no longer be seen in the black mist.

However, the Black Mist Zerg had found a new target.

A civil war between the Zerg broke out suddenly.

This was an extremely brutal battle, a bloody battle in the space age.

Everyone in the flagship command room was watching the battle intently.

But Chen Ming had no interest in watching it at all.

He first called some people, and then directly handed over the command of the battle to the Queen Zerg, anyway, as long as the ordinary Zerg won in the end.

In the middle, let the Black Mist prosthesis show its face and make signs of escape, and the problem would be solved.

He didn't say hello to anyone and disappeared directly on the flagship.

Not long after, reinforcements from the front line also arrived at the Liugang Galaxy.

It was a fleet led by an offensive class.

The captain of the attacking ship had just received the order to wait and see, so he did not open fire directly at the Zerg, but just silently observed the Zergs on both sides fighting each other.

The main battleship usually carries a portable superluminal communication base station, so the whole process of this battle was transmitted back to the empire.

Anyone who saw this video made a judgment on one thing.

That is, there is no relationship between those Black Mist Zerg and ordinary Thorn Zerg.

This is not only a judgment made by this battle, but also because of the Pirate Space Station.

Since Chen Ming deliberately exposed the Black Mist Zerg fleet to the Empire when it was still an egg, the Zerg fleet was always monitored by the Empire.

Therefore, the entire process of the Black Mist Zerg fleet from departure to attacking the Mechanical Clan to driving away the three motherships of the Mechanical Clan was all observed by the Empire.

The end point of the three motherships' jump was naturally determined quickly.

The situation on the Pirate Space Station was immediately delivered to all people with sufficient status in the Empire.

After all, there were millions of Zerg cruisers, and they were completely killed by Wu An in just one encounter.

The aftermath of the Zerg biological spaceships all over the galaxy and the mighty mental fluctuations cannot be faked.

No matter how fast the Zerg reproduce, such horrific losses in the blink of an eye make it difficult for anyone to imagine that this was done to conceal their identity.

Therefore, after receiving the news, most people believed that the possibility of An Wuping and Chen Ming directing and acting was further reduced.

After all, with such powerful power, many things can be said directly, or even directly used violence. There is no need to do such an act that seems to break one's own arm.

at this time.

In the capital galaxy of the Empire.

Within a building on a certain planet.

Minister Lu of the Psychic Census Department hung up the video call with Minister Hou of the Aodan Star Territory. His face looked very ugly.

He once again called up An Wuping's information and watched it repeatedly.

Sudden.

He threw the information to the ground, lit a cigarette for himself, took a long puff, then put out the almost burned cigarette holder in the ashtray, and lit a new one for himself.

But doing so couldn't relieve the pressure on his mind.

He was asking himself why he hadn't noticed that An Wuping and Chen Ming were so similar before.

They are all good-natured people. They usually do their own thing in silence, making people think that they are soft persimmons that can be pinched.

As a result, when someone really gets into trouble, they will find themselves in huge trouble.

The last time Chen Ming was provoked was the Fourteenth Army Corps, and in the end the problem was forcibly solved by the commander of the Fourteenth Army Corps.

And this time it seemed that he was the one who provoked An Wuping.

At the same time, on the pirate space station.

In a hardware store.

The boss hung up the phone and said to Chen Ming's robot who had not disappeared next to him: "The news has basically spread throughout the entire empire. People with the ability and qualifications have basically watched all the videos. Next, An Wuping should Become the focus of the entire empire.”

Chen Ming responded: "This is what I want to see."

"So where are you at?"

"The stargate has been obtained, but there is only one. The mothership carrying the Destroyer has temporarily escaped it, but my next plan is for it, it cannot escape."

The boss didn't ask Chen Ming why he had to bring An Wuping out to attract the attention of the empire, and then secretly went to fight an entire mechanical race in the star field alone.

He respects Chen Ming's decision.

After all, even in his opinion, the power of the Zerg is a bit too exaggerated. In his opinion, it is even more exaggerated than Chen Ming's current ability.

It made the boss a little uncomfortable to imagine what the empire's attitude would be if Chen Ming was revealed to be An Wuping.

After all, he really saw the potential in the Zerg to compete with the Empire now.

And he had seen this potential in Chen Ming a long time ago.

And when two potentials are concentrated in one person, can the empire really accommodate this person?

He was not sure, so he respected all Chen Ming's decisions and would never ask any more questions.

But he still had to say something: "You should deal with those Zerg warships in the galaxy as soon as possible. I can stop some people from using serious means to touch those Zerg warships, but I can't stop some people from privately thinking of ways to obtain Zerg warships. sample.”

Chen Ming responded: "I have arranged for the Zerg fleet to come over. When the time comes, I will just pretend to implant the Zerg consciousness and drive the ship away."

"Then I think you seem to be thinking about something. You haven't moved for a long time."

Chen Ming looked down at himself through the perspective of the robot in front of his boss, and at the same time made sure that he did not install any device to simulate expressions on the robot.

"Don't look at it. I just feel that you are thinking about something important. You don't even want to worry about your own Zerg spaceship."

Chen Ming shrugged and said: "Now that the Star Gate is completed, the problem of the Zerg being forced to run into the empire has been solved, and the problem of the Machine Tribe's raid on the Star Sea has also been solved."

"I only want to do two things now. One is to get the Destroyer."

Chen Ming felt that he had better go faster.

Because he doesn't have much time.

To be precise, the machine race's time is running out.

The combat effectiveness of the Machine Tribe is rapidly being wiped out because of him, and the empire will soon discover the emptiness of the Machine Tribe's military strength and continue to advance.

Although there is a difference between conquering a galaxy and occupying a planet, as long as the empire still wants to occupy the mechanical planet, it will have to fight a ground war.

Even if every galaxy is occupied, as long as the planet is not completely occupied, the war cannot be considered over.

Unless Chen Ming intervenes in the ground war between the Empire and the Machine Tribe, it will still take time.

But this does not affect advancement on the actual front.

As long as the battle line is pushed to the rear of the Mechanical Tribe, it means that the Mechanical Tribe's Destroyer Mothership may fight against the Empire's fleet at any time.

If the Destroyer is killed while fighting the empire's level 6 psykers, Chen Ming will lose the opportunity to obtain the Destroyer.

So we need to take action as soon as possible to get what he needs as soon as possible.

He did not want any conflict of interest with the empire.

Because he knew very well that he was not strong enough when looking at the entire empire.

Just that his ability has exceeded the line that the empire must respect, does not mean that he can directly override the empire.

So he was planning his next course of action, first determining where the Destroyer would go.

"What's the other thing? Grab another star gate?"

"No..." Chen Ming said with a hint of gloom in his tone: "It's to find out who revealed the information about me to the Machine Clan."

Before Chen Ming established his relationship with Cheng Xinghai, he had already expected that someone would make a fuss about the people around him.

Therefore, he has always maintained care for all those who are close to him and provided them with protection.

Whether it was the factory director, Lao Wu, or even the bald Chen Ming, they all gave him some things made with his psychic energy, so that he could come to the rescue when necessary.

Of course Cheng Xinghai is no exception.

He had already guessed that there would definitely be such a day in the future, and he was willing to bear the trouble involved.

When a strong person is dragged down by family and friends, or even forced to give up relationships with other people, this person is not considered a strong person at all.

The attack on Cheng Xinghai was just a small matter that Chen Ming handled casually.

After all, if he really wanted to solve the problem, Chen Ming didn't even have to go to the scene, he could just use his psychic energy on Cheng Xinghai and send her somewhere else.

He appeared there just to show his attitude, and at the same time to thoroughly handle the matters he had arranged regarding the Black Mist Zerg and the ordinary Zerg to avoid leaving some additional problems.

And Chen Ming has understood some truth after experiencing what happened last time.

Mere humility and pure friendliness are meaningless.

Humility and friendliness have their value only after showing strength.

Some people like to seek death, so Chen Ming will send them to death.

The boss understood what Chen Ming meant and said: "The location of the mechanical clan's jump is indeed a bit strange, but are you so sure that someone must have leaked your information?"

"I don't believe in coincidences, and my intuition is telling me that someone definitely leaked my information."

"It's normal for the machine clan to want to attack Baiquan. That's where the current frontline headquarters is."

"But they have no reason to attack here..."

Chen Ming pointed to the pirate space station at his feet and said, "There is also the galaxy where Cheng Xinghai's fleet is."

"Boss, do you believe that this kind of thing would happen to you?"

"I do not believe."

"So I'm going to do something."

"understood."

It seems that Chen Ming is going to do something in the empire again.

The boss leaned back in his chair, looked at Chen Ming's robot and said, "You rarely seem to get angry because of your own affairs."

"In my impression, the only time you get really angry is when your friends are affected."

"maybe."

Chen Ming responded and temporarily separated his consciousness from the boss's robot.

Back to the prosthesis located in the branch.

Just when Chen Ming was about to use the authority of this prosthesis to do something.

Bai Quan's phone call suddenly came in: "Xiao Ming, someone wants to talk to you."

"who?"

"Mainly the Minister of the Empire's Psychic Department, Luo Yi. And the Minister of the Empire's Psychic Census Department, Lu Han."

"There may be some other people, all representatives of people from different levels of the empire. You should know why these people are here."

"Oh, by the way, there's An Wuping."

Just when Chen Ming heard Bai Quan say An Wuping's name, An Wuping also received a call.

Chen Ming controlled An Wuping to answer the phone and replied to Bai Quan: "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about the Zerg and the Machine Tribe."

"When? How?"

"Now, online meeting, holographic projection, can you come to my place?"

"I know, I'll be there right away."

After Chen Ming finished speaking.

Bai Quan did not hang up the phone.

And suddenly he asked something strange: "Speaking of which, we have been fighting with the mechanical tribe for a while, and there was so much noise, but Yuhui next door didn't seem to have any reaction."

Chen Ming responded with a very vague sentence: "Who knows."
