Chapter 365 Little Madman

Chen Ming found the memory about the Reaper torpedo from the corner of his memory.

Recalling everything in the past, a question gradually emerged in his mind.

There seems to be something wrong with the Reaper torpedo, right?

Three years ago, when Chen Ming just arrived in the pirate space, he got a Reaper torpedo.

Its power is indeed very large, but that is relative to the frigate that can launch the Reaper torpedo. This power may threaten the cruiser, but it is absolutely impossible to sink the capital ship.

The capital ship can withstand the attack of the main weapon.

No matter how many Reaper torpedoes there are, it is unlikely to break through the capital ship's own shield. How can it really threaten the capital ship, let alone sink the capital ship.

And the capital ship that Chen Ming remembered being sunk was a capital ship of the military of a star field.

There are two common types of military capital ships, offensive class and legion class. The armor strength is very high. Even the armor can directly resist the direct hit of the microsievert-class light radiation cannon of Yuhui. How could it be sunk by the Reaper torpedo?

Even if it was a battleship that was severely damaged, it wouldn't be the death torpedo that broke the camel's back, right?

Moreover, Chen Ming remembered that this happened during an operation to suppress pirates.

What kind of pirates could severely damage a battleship?

Although the pirates who could make the army dispatch battleships to suppress them might be quite powerful, even so, it wouldn't be possible for a battleship to be sunk by pirates, right?

Chen Ming didn't have enough knowledge and understanding of battleships at the time.

So he just listened to the story. Anyway, the death torpedo was quite useful at that time, and it just saved his life when Yuhui invaded.

But now looking back, it's strange.

However, Chen Ming temporarily ignored the question of how the death torpedo sank the battleship.

Let's look at the situation of the little madman mentioned by the boss first.

Chen Ming thought about it, and the little madman should not be the one who died on the battleship, but the one who sank the battleship.

The boss could move to such a remote place, which must be because of a conflict with some powerful forces in the empire.

Combined with what we just said, the answer is obvious.

Chen Ming asked: "So... that little madman is a pirate? And he also had a conflict with the army somewhere?"

"Yes." The boss answered concisely.

Chen Ming asked again: "And he is also a psychic, otherwise it is impossible for the Reaper torpedo to sink the battleship?"

"That's right, his psychic effect is very aggressive, any damage caused directly or indirectly by him can be amplified by his psychic power, and the specific degree of amplification... you can see that the Reaper torpedo can sink the battleship."

"So he had a conflict with the army at the beginning, and finally the army's battleship was sunk, and he also died in that battle?"

"That's about it."

A few simple questions made Chen Ming roughly understand what happened.

The last person cultivated by the boss, the man called the little madman, was a pirate, or became a pirate for some reason.

He is not the leader of the pirates, but at least he is an important figure.

One day, a large-scale conflict broke out, and the pirates were eventually surrounded and suppressed, but a mothership of the local army was sunk by a death torpedo that was amplified by psychic power.

The matter of the psychic could not be told.

So the army could only swallow this loss and tell the matter of a psychic as if it were the matter of ordinary pirates, which led to a shocking scandal.

Although in the eyes of those who knew that psychics existed, this was just a normal loss when psychics were suppressed.

But because the noise was too loud, the news could not be completely suppressed.

In the end, in the eyes of ordinary people who learned part of the situation, the army was simply a waste.

In a big way, this matter was that the army's main battleship was sunk. This was not only the face of the star field army whose main battleship was sunk, but also the face of the army everywhere.

The person who caused this situation happened to be cultivated by the boss...

Whether it was the contradiction that led to the scandal of the army, or the contradiction that the little madman died because of the army.

In short, it is impossible for the boss to continue to stay in the prosperous star field.

This also explains why when Chen Ming first met the boss, the boss had no intersection with the local army, and had no intention of having any intersection.

Instead, he got a little closer to the Fourteenth Legion, which had only been rebuilt for more than ten years.

Although this was due to the relationship between Chen Ming and Bai Quan, it was definitely due to the conflict decades ago.

As a level 6 psychic, the empire certainly could not implicate the boss because of the trouble caused by the people he trained, but the empire's own army's emotions could not be ignored, so...

It can only be said that Chen Ming has experienced a lot of things, and of course he can understand why the boss came here.

After explaining the past to Chen Ming, the boss seemed a little nervous.

After all, the effect of the things Chen Ming brought back was there, and no matter who used it, they would have the same emotions.

The boss quickly sorted out his emotions, stretched out his hand and pressed on Chen Ming's shoulder, and said solemnly: "I have to go out in the next few days, and I will tell you the result as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

A few minutes later.

Chen Ming left the boss.

After finishing these extra things, it was time to start his real work.

Chen Ming planned for himself a little bit, dividing the things to be done into two parts, internal and external.

The external part, which is what he had just thought of, is the manufacture of a new battleship.

Of course, Chen Ming must first figure out the feasibility of this research project.

It is not the feasibility that Chen Ming knows himself, but the reasonable feasibility that he must make others believe when he goes to work with others.

The problem should not be big.

The semi-biological and semi-mechanized technology he has mastered has been put into preliminary use.

As long as the technology is shared and a little experiment is conducted, it can be determined that the technology he has mastered is completely fine.

Chen Ming does not mind sharing his technology, and technology itself can only progress through sharing.

He does not know when his own research will be completed, and sharing it out and asking others for help is obviously more efficient.

And the reason why sharing is called sharing is that others will also share the technology that Chen Ming does not have.

Chen Ming will definitely not lose.

Of course, Chen Ming will also let An Wuping intervene in this matter, so that he can explain why he has mastered certain biological technologies.

It can also help Chen Ming explain why he deliberately took a lot of biotechnology information from the Empire some time ago.

An Wuping's existence can also help Chen Ming say some things that he is not easy to say.

As for the biotechnology and some ship design technology that An Wuping mastered.

Chen Ming can also explain it by saying that he personally taught An Wuping's Zerg to master shipbuilding technology.

In short, as long as Chen Ming's acting skills are good enough, An Wuping's joining will only be beneficial.

And he believes that when he puts the corpse of the phase behemoth leader in front of the people he wants to invite, even if his idea is not feasible, someone will try every means to make his idea feasible.

However, Chen Ming feels that he needs to consider another problem.

That is, the development direction of military ship technology is basically biased towards frontal combat.

So when designing ships, the frontal armor, frontal firepower and coordination with other ships on the frontal battlefield of the military ships are all relatively important points when designing spacecraft.

Not to mention the 14th Corps.

The 14th Corps has several different ships that have been specially modified, even the main battleships.

These ships transformed by the 14th Legion often have larger hulls, thicker armor, and more powerful frontal firepower than ordinary models.

Chen Ming even knew that some of the phase ships that the Legion had developed had space for military armor.

This made Chen Ming a little worried that if he only communicated with the Legion to design his ship, he would be led astray.

The final designed ship would deviate from his idea.

The main battleship he wanted must not be in the direction of the military.

Although he would find the Ship Research Institute and the Psychic Research Institute at that time, and by the way, find the Biological Research Institute to cooperate in research and development.

By the way, he would also find related departments, but he could not guarantee whether the other several research institutes would have the same habit.

So Chen Ming felt that he had better find some other people, not from the Legion or the military, to participate in his project.

But he cooperated with the Legion and had to borrow the Legion's facilities, resources and information. It was a bit unreasonable to find other people.

This gave him a headache.

But Chen Ming thought about it carefully again.

Suddenly he had a new idea.

That is, he can make use of his Extraordinary Research Institute a little bit.

Although the Extraordinary Research Institute is affiliated with the 14th Legion, and is currently labeled with several research labels of "psychic energy", "mechanical race" and "special devices".

But this does not mean that his institute can only cooperate with the Legion's research institute, or can only research these things.

He can completely invite other research departments to cooperate in research and jointly develop a new project in the name of his research institute.

This should be the most appropriate approach.

Although Chen Ming is the only one who can participate in this project in the entire Extraordinary Research Institute, after all, the researchers in his research institute were not recruited to study spacecraft.

But anyway, he just wants a reason, which is not impossible.

In this way, he can also invite more other people to participate.

For example, Xinda Company.

Since the last time the chairman came to attend Chen Ming's engagement party and the relationship with Chen Ming eased, Chen Ming believed that the research institute on the Xinda Company should be very willing to invest resources and participate in Chen Ming's new research project.

Although Xinda Company does not have phase technology, and there are more mass-produced ships, it is a more commercial research institute.

But Chen Ming still likes the ships of Sinda Company, which are very handy to use.

In addition, although Sinda Company does not master the technology of phase ships, it has mastered the technology of battleships, and can also participate in the design of battleships in this regard.

You must know that Chen Ming has not yet completely mastered the technology of battleships.

It is definitely the right idea to find more different people to brainstorm.

Anyway, there is the corpse of the phase behemoth patriarch there, and the semi-biological and semi-mechanized technology that Chen Ming is willing to give out, so there should be no problem in finding people to cooperate.

Tachyon Technology, or even the Vanchao Research Institute, may be able to shake some people over.

And the process of developing this battleship may last for several months or even years.

Anyway, Chen Ming is not in a hurry.

After he finished fighting with the mechanical race, he had nothing important to do. He had plenty of time to study and build this special phase battleship himself.

As for others.

Although the war between the Empire and the Mechanical Race has essentially ended, the war process will continue.

During the war, no matter which force it is, there is a great desire to research weapons for war.

Even if the final research results are Chen Ming's, the technology developed in the middle is real.

For those who have been in the research institute for many years, this time should not be a big deal.

The design of the new battleship is an external matter in Chen Ming's plan.

As for the internal matter.

Chen Ming has finally determined the limit of his own ability.

Of course, Chen Ming means that after his triple power fusion, he can see that limit, not that he has reached the limit.

And this limit also refers to the limit of ability, not the limit of strength.

So, Chen Ming thinks it's time.

It's time to start systematically learning knowledge related to psychic energy.

Chen Ming has always been following the wild growth path of the psychic society.

Relying on his own understanding and a very small but critical amount of guidance to become stronger.

This allows him to fully exert his own talents and potential, and also makes his understanding of some systematic knowledge may be somewhat biased.

Some details of psychic power, or knowledge unrelated to his own psychic power, and some more messy psychic knowledge will basically have errors and omissions.

Therefore, when the psychic's ability is developed to the limit, or when he can see his own limit like Chen Ming now.

It is very necessary to carry out systematic learning.

As long as these problems are corrected through systematic learning.

It is equivalent to making up for all the shortcomings of Chen Ming's own psychic power.

Moreover, the knowledge of psychic power is not just what Chen Ming himself has come into contact with, it should also take quite a while to learn.

Therefore, Chen Ming felt that it was time for him to converge and be quiet for a while.

He needed to study formally and learn serious psychic knowledge.

So Chen Ming sent a message directly to the president, asking if the president had any way to give him a teacher or something.

The president replied quickly, saying that it was not necessary.

He directly sent a bunch of information to Chen Ming and asked Chen Ming to learn it himself.

If he wanted to find a teacher, let’s not talk about who would come and who would dare to be Chen Ming’s teacher. The teacher’s teaching efficiency might not even be as high as Chen Ming’s self-study efficiency.

Anyway, think about the difference between Chen Ming before and now, and you will know what level Chen Ming’s learning ability is at.

Only ask when you really don’t understand, no matter whether it is the president or the boss.

In the end, no one can be Chen Ming’s teacher.

Then Chen Ming has no objection. Self-study and learning from others are nothing more than whether you can master some additional experience while learning.

Just like when he learned command technology from Bai Quan, he would always bring some of Bai Quan’s command style when commanding in the end.

Of course, this is not a bad thing. Although Bai Quan has a lieutenant general godfather, he has indeed fought all the way from the grassroots to the level of lieutenant general. There is nothing wrong with learning some of Bai Quan’s command technology and style.

Moreover, Chen Ming basically doesn’t use these technologies when he is really fighting. Most of the time, he relies on absolute military force to crush them.

Command? What is that? At most, he can make some tactics in the overall situation. There is no such thing as command in the actual battle.

However, this kind of thing is not so good when it comes to psychic power.

The president is not mainly worried that Chen Ming will be influenced by the teacher when learning psychic power.

Instead, he is worried that the teacher will be influenced by Chen Ming when teaching Chen Ming.

In short, let Chen Ming learn it slowly by himself.

Anyway, he not only has to learn psychic power, but also has to learn battleship technology, various warships, the construction and use technology of megastructures, various biotechnology, etc.

This is not a big deal.

Chen Ming did not feel that there was any problem. After getting all the information, he did what he should do.

He first spent two days preparing some resources that were attractive enough to lure different departments to participate in the idea he proposed.

Then, he went to find Bai Quan.

Bai Quan stayed in the distributed command center as usual. He temporarily took over the work of Qiu Bowen, who had gone somewhere in the past two days.

When Chen Ming saw him, he found that his face was a little uneasy.

Chen Ming didn't think much about it, and sat down next to him and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't the situation good recently?"

After Chen Ming crushed all the main forces of the mechanical race, the war between the empire and the mechanical race was really one-sided.

The empire and the mechanical race are in a simple mode. An empire cannot lose against a star field.

Add to that Chen Ming's troubles, it would be strange if the mechanical race could win.

Chen Ming has also seen a lot of good news in the past two days.

Including where to win, where to achieve results, who to get results, and which psychics have made achievements in the war.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it can make Bai Quan show this expression.

Bai Quan explained: "The front line is indeed overall good, but it's mainly the problem behind."

"Corruption occurred on the home front, which led to the failure of the war here."

Bai Quan pointed on the screen in front of him and told Chen Ming the location where the battle was lost.

It can only be said that the empire has never been monolithic.

Of course there are dark places where there is light.

It is too common for people to do things secretly and make war profits.

But what does this have to do with Chen Ming?

There is no need for him to worry about this all the time. The empire will handle the empire’s affairs on its own.

If it is handled well, the empire can still have a second life. If it is not handled well, the empire will be buried with the machine clan.

Of course, there are some things that Chen Ming still wants to ask out of curiosity.

"Does the Empire have any thoughts on the news I announced yesterday?"

He is still quite curious about what decisions the empire will make in the face of natural disasters.

"I heard that they take it very seriously and are ready to start doing something big."

"The empire can have no newborns for twenty years, but it cannot have no newborns for two hundred years. It must find a way to avoid the sequelae of the dimensional infection."

"Didn't you happen to point out a way before? That phase space."

Phase space will only cause the spacecraft's radiant energy to be unable to be dissipated.

Others basically have no impact, so Chen Ming's Zerg warships can attack the machines in phase space at will.

Therefore, it is feasible to consider ways to move the Empire to phase space.

Phase space can actively affect the normal universe, and things in the normal universe can also be used normally, but existence in the normal universe cannot see the phase space.

Others have no effect.

In fact, Chen Ming also thought about stuffing the Zerg into the phase space and expanding from the phase space.

But Chen Ming always felt something wasn't right if he did this. Part of the dimensional power he controlled made him a little repelled by such an approach, so he didn't do it in the end.

Of course, if the empire does this, Chen Ming will not stop it. After all, this is the only way to prevent the sequelae of dimensional infection.

Chen Ming nodded with understanding and said, "Let's stop chatting. I'm here to talk to you about something."

"What's up?"

"My extraordinary institute wants to apply for a project to cooperate with external organizations."

Bai Quan's serious expression just now suddenly collapsed: "Don't apply for this kind of thing with nothing to do. If you just do it, it will be over."

"Doesn't this involve the outside world and other research institutes in the legion? I'm worried about being rejected."

"Why did Legion refuse?"

Bai Quan asked back: "I know how important the body of the giant phase beast clan leader is, do you think anyone will refuse?"

"And when you are working on a project, you will always come up with some new technologies and various new things, right? No one will refuse."

"If you have anything to say to Legion, you also know that there are many people who are trying to curry favor with you now and it's too late."

"If you have any requests, just ask them, and any legion that can do it will help you do it."

"Oh, then I'll just tell you..."

"No, I'll give you a phone number and you can find someone to discuss it yourself."

"OK."

Two days later.

Chen Ming has already contacted most of the organizations and people he wants to invite.

And also rented an additional laboratory here at the legion headquarters.

Started preparations before the project started.

And just today, it seemed that the boss, who had been away from the hardware store for a few days, finally got news and asked Chen Ming to come over.

There was nothing to say to Chen Ming, so he just passed by.

Entering the hardware store.

Chen Ming saw the resurrection mechanical fluid he gave him on the table in front of his boss. It must have failed to use.

But the boss's face was not one of disappointment, but a smile.

Chen Ming said hello and asked: "How is the situation?"

"It's very good. When resurrected, this device will first prompt the resurrected person's genome and appearance after resurrection."

"The body I found was not that of a lunatic."

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: "Um... is it possible..."

"Will not."

The boss directly denied it: "If there is no body of the little lunatic in the place I found, then he must still be alive."

"Everyone thought he was dead, but he wasn't dead yet, at least not at that time, but I don't know where he is now."

"Just take this back."

Although the use of the resurrection mechanical fluid failed, it can be regarded as settling the boss's worries.

Chen Ming put away the resurrection mechanical fluid, chatted with the boss for a few words, and then left.

So far.

He really had almost everything taken care of.

You can really devote yourself to the long process of research and learning.
