Chapter 100 Factory, Contact

In the industrial colony star system of Yuhui.

After arriving, the Yuhui fleet led by Huihuang and Huiyao dispersed as if they had completed the mission before.

Huihuang, who was responsible for the preliminary examination of Chen Ming, left the star system and entered the hyperspace.

Huiyao took Qu Guang, who protected Chen Ming's Iron Ore in his stomach, to the circumstellar orbit of the industrial colony planet that Chen Ming had visited before.

Then Huihuang did not continue to land in the colony, but directly let Qu Guang take Chen Ming to the giant industrial zone that occupied one-fifth of the planet.

In the corner where the entire industry expanded outward, there was an independent small industrial zone consisting of only three factories.

Qu Guang's final goal was here.

Although this place is relatively remote compared to the core furnace power tower at the core of the industrial zone, Chen Ming thinks it is not bad.

At least the environment you usually stay in is definitely better than the inside of the industrial zone full of industrial equipment.

When Qu Guang gradually approached the destination, Chen Ming could still see that the three factories had a large number of mechanical equipment and robots of various shapes busy at this time.

However, it seems that these machines are not busy with the work inside the factory, but are transforming the factory itself.

After landing, Qu Guang spit out the Iron Ore and stopped in the open space in the middle of the three factories.

The Iron Ore stopped in the open space next to the project.

Qu Guang went directly into the factory from the other side, put the pile of materials he brought and the escape pods that had been sealed by Chen Ming in the factory warehouse, and then left the factory and flew into space.

Maybe Yuhui still has something to do.

Chen Ming checked the situation of the escape pods when Qu Guang landed just now, and confirmed that all the escape pods had activated the freezing hibernation function.

The two-day automatic start time of the escape pods has not yet arrived, so they should have started it themselves.

Chen Ming did not go around to the factory warehouse to touch these escape pods for the time being, but chose to get familiar with the place where he might stay for a while, and then come back to deal with them.

However, when Chen Ming got off the ship in protective clothing and was about to enter the factory.

He was suddenly stopped by a robot busy in various parts of the factory.

Then, Huihuang, who had just brought him here, contacted him again.

"The factory still needs some time to be renovated. Please wait on the spaceship for a while."

"Starting from 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, Earth standard time, you will be officially assigned tasks and work."

"If you have any needs, you can contact Gamma A. He will help you contact me, and I can help you get what you need."

"Understood."

Chen Ming responded, and suddenly felt like he was in the internship period.

However, unlike the internship, there is no one now, no, there is no AI to take care of him.

Chen Ming turned back to the spaceship and looked at the starry sky outside without the atmosphere, and the mechanical equipment that was working.

Suddenly, I missed the time when I had to work in the pirate space station.

He shook his head, threw away the memories, and opened the porthole protective plate to isolate the outside environment.

There is no need to think too much about the past. He still has to move forward now.

Chen Ming returned to the studio of the Iron Ore, took out the terminal, and placed it in front of him.

However, he just opened the terminal and was not in a hurry to use it.

Instead, he took the opportunity to check the situation of Gamma A.

After leaving the planet of Yuhui Colony, Gamma A arrived at the distribution point of the galaxy, which is the space station supporting this industrial colony.

Huiyao-class also stopped near this space station at this time.

Although Chen Ming could not directly read the thoughts and data of Gamma A's core, he could see that the communication equipment of the refraction was constantly sending and receiving data.

It is estimated that Gamma A should be like it once said, reading the data on their communication platform through the network coverage of the space station for future study.

At the same time, it should also be communicating with Huiyao.

Huiyao and Gamma A are friends, so it is normal for Huiyao to confirm the situation of Gamma A again after Gamma A picks up Chen Ming.

Chen Ming would not interrupt at this time. After confirming the situation of Gamma A, he directly changed the perspective to Gamma B.

Gamma B is not in the galaxy where Chen Ming is now, but in another place, closer to the core of Yuhui, doing its own thing.

Although Gamma B has been out of contact on Yuhui's list, it was investigated by the Yuhui individual in charge of this work as soon as it came back.

However, the time of investigating Gamma B was before Chen Ming asked Gamma A to pass his situation to Huiyao.

Therefore, the rigor of the investigation of Gamma B is much easier than that of Gamma A.

Gamma B only needs to explain the situation during the period of its loss of contact.

That is, after being captured in the battle of the previous mission, it was supposed to be responsible for some work.

But a human spaceship maintenance technician was treated unfairly by the forces that obtained Gamma B, and his abilities could not be fully utilized, so he hoped to join Yuhui by contacting Yuhui.

However, this maintenance technician had died when he escaped on the Fighter Kai, so Gamma B came back by himself in the end.

Although Chen Ming himself felt that this statement was ridiculous, it should be a more convincing statement for Yuhui.

Because although there have always been conflicts between Yuhui and humans, there has always been a message circulating among those who have the ability to contact Yuhui's AI core.

Yuhui will recruit people, especially researchers in various mechanical, electronic, and spaceship technologies on the human side, with very high treatment.

It can only be said that humans captured Yuhui's AI core to work for humans, and the captured Yuhui AI will also try to pry people from humans.

Although the efficiency is average, after all, Yuhui's place is always worse than humans' own place.

However, there are indeed some people who have successfully joined Yu Hui and worked for him, including senior engineers and senior researchers.

The special tachyon spear modified by Yu Hui is, in a sense, their masterpiece.

So this is why the board of directors at the Xinda Company's board meeting were not too surprised that Chen Ming suddenly found Yu Hui's rescue and ran to Yu Hui, and they quickly accepted it.

Therefore, in the end, Yu Hui AI, which investigated Gamma B, successfully accepted Gamma B's statement.

Then, after reading the data of the fighter-modified spacecraft at the cost of a part of the material ration, Gamma B was released.

The cosmic environment is changeable, and it is common for Yu Hui to lose contact.

One day he was captured, and the next day he was paralyzed in space due to a problem with the spacecraft.

Or one day he was rescued and escaped back by himself, all of which are normal and possible.

If there is no problem after the review, then there is no problem.

Therefore, the case of Gamma B driving the Gladiator Modified was closed before, and basically no Yuhui would investigate it.

So Chen Ming simply gave Gamma B free time, letting it do what it did before and not worry about his affairs for the time being.

After all, he can be said to be under the protection of Yuhui now, and there is no need to contact the Alpha AI that purchased the spiritual stone.

And since Gamma B has not yet been exposed to the eyes of other Yuhui who are dealing with Chen Ming's affairs, Chen Ming simply let it hide for the time being.

A Yuhui hiding in the dark of Yuhui, and like Gamma A, Yuhui is about to be upgraded to the Beta Core.

Who knows what use it will be in the future.

Closed the panel that can see the situation of the two Gamma AIs.

Chen Ming then opened the panel of his spaceship that was still staying in the space station.

Chen Ming had a total of ten spaceships before.

They were Iron Ore, Refraction, Armor Breaker, two Mules, Lumen, Glimmer, Gladiator Modified, Centurion and Sentinel.

At present, the Armor Breaker and the Centurion have been destroyed, and Qu Guang and the Gladiator are now in Yu Hui's territory.

Only two Mules and a Sentinel are left in the space station, quietly parked in the repair shop.

Chen Ming looked at each of them, and there was no sign that the three spacecraft had been moved by outsiders.

And the Sentinel also had the equipment for long-distance communication that he had installed before. When Chen Ming started the equipment, he found that there was a received message inside the communication equipment.

It was a message from the company.

Let Chen Ming contact them as soon as he sees the message, and they will find a way to bring Chen Ming back.

It seems that the company has guessed that he was taken away peacefully by Yu Hui.

But Chen Ming was not in a hurry to contact the company, but contacted the boss first.

The communication was connected, the boss did not speak, and Chen Ming said the code he had exchanged with the boss before.

Chen Ming had told the boss about his ability before, and also said that he could communicate over long distances with the communication equipment.

However, in order to prevent someone from disguising their identity by using his spaceship, Chen Ming set up a code and told several people who were familiar with him.

After verifying his identity, the boss asked in surprise: "Xiao Ming, how did you survive? I knew that the military had sent a Ruler there and thought you were dead."

"Luck."

"It's not luck. I heard that Yu Hui's cruiser appeared at your place. It should be related to you."

Chen Ming did not answer, which was also a tacit agreement.

The boss suddenly sighed and said: "Anyway, I apologize to you first. My previous rescue arrangement was blocked by others and did not work."

"Fortunately, you are fine now, and your safety should be guaranteed at Yu Hui's place."

Chen Ming did not care too much about the boss's apology.

After all, he took the initiative to say that he did not need the boss's help at the beginning.

The boss was already preparing to rescue him when the accident happened, and he had nothing to blame.

But Chen Ming is now very curious about who could have stopped the rescue arranged by the boss, so he asked: "Who stopped him?"

The boss did not hide this and said: "Other people in my organization."

"Internal conflict?"

"Not really, it can only be said that our organization is relatively loose. He is also a psychic, and he didn't want me to save you, so he stopped the rescue I arranged."

Chen Ming asked puzzledly: "Why? I shouldn't have offended any psychics, right?"

"Actually, there was, because he is a beneficiary of the military's mining of sky steel, and the sky steel mined by the military will have a part Give it to him."

"It's a pity that I didn't know about this before, otherwise he wouldn't have interfered with your rescue."

Chen Ming suddenly fell silent for a while and asked, "What's his name? Where is he?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Write it down first and tell me later."

The boss hesitated a little, but still told Chen Ming the name of the psychic and the star system where his colony was located, and said, "If you have any ideas, I will tell you the effect of his psychic power. Don't know too much for now."

Chen Ming responded and kept everything the boss said in his heart.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"My plans?"

Chen Ming thought about it and said directly, "Yu Hui attaches great importance to my ability, so I will definitely not be able to come back in a short time."

"But I don't want to come back either. Yu Hui has a lot of valuable things for me. I'm here now."

The boss couldn't help but smile and said, "That's all?"

"In addition, I want to take this opportunity to exercise and develop my abilities."

"If I had been able to control the cruiser before, or if I had a fleet of my own, I wouldn't have been forced to this point by the military."

Chen Ming repeated as if he had made up his mind, "Yes, I want to build a fleet of my own."

The boss didn't think it was crazy because Chen Ming wanted to do this alone, but just said, "That's not easy. A fleet is not just about having ships."

"Yes, I know it's difficult, but I suddenly feel that only the power I control personally is the most reliable."

Since we've talked about this, Chen Ming said, "So I'm thinking about whether there is any way to make money."

"As far as my current situation is concerned, even if I As for Yuhui, there is no way to completely break away from human society. Money is still very important, whether it is buying ships or buying supplies. "

"And in the future, if I can really build a fleet, how can I solve the problem of bulk supplies?"

The boss seriously considered Chen Ming's question and said, "In fact, since you are out and Yuhui is protecting you, you can try to explore the unknown star field."

"In recent decades, the empire has no plans to expand, and there is still a blue ocean outside."

"Once the buffer zone between us and Yuhui is passed, everything will be gone. It is an unknown star field that has basically not been investigated. "

"If you can bring back a star map, or go deeper and scan the approximate data of the planets in the galaxies on the star map and bring it back."

"These valuable detailed data of galaxies may be more expensive than a battleship."

"Oh, no."

The boss suddenly interrupted himself and said, "I almost forgot that you don't have an exploration ship, no professional scanning equipment, and it's not easy to deal with the hyperspace channel cloud outside."

Chen Ming originally had his own thoughts on what the boss said, but after the boss said it was wrong, he also realized the problem.

That is, the hyperspace channel is not naturally generated, but is opened up step by step by people.

The interior of the hyperspace itself is filled with endless hyperspace channel clouds, and the density of the internal clouds is not uniform, which means that they can be dispersed.

When humans just set foot in hyperspace.

Humans can only rely on cruisers and even battleships to support the front, and difficultly open up a channel for other small spacecraft to pass.

In the process of continuous exploration and research, humans have developed special exploration ships to explore unknown star regions by relying on the properties of hyperspace.

Then, for convenience, in addition to the ability to disperse hyperspace clouds, exploration ships are also gradually increasing their ability to explore unknown galaxies.

High-power scanning equipment scans the galaxy environment, and refined detection equipment detects the general situation of the planet to determine whether a planet is worth detailed exploration.

So far, the hyperspace in the edge star region is still full of hyperspace clouds, and navigation between galaxies can only rely on waterways.

But over in the prosperous star region, the hyperspace clouds have basically completely dispersed, and that is the world that truly belongs to humans.

However, although Chen Ming currently does not have the ability to explore unknown galaxies, it may not be the case in the future.

So Chen Ming said to the boss: "Actually, I can ask Yu Hui to try. They might be able to give me an exploration ship, but it's probably not convenient for me to go out by myself."

"But you are capable."

The boss helped Chen Ming to continue the conversation and said: "Since you said so, you should also have this idea. It's always good to explore some valuable planets."

"Also, do you remember what you did for me before?"

"That pirate?"

"Yes, remember why I asked you to bring the pirate back?"

"He attacked the fleet that transported goods to your colony."

"Yes, do you understand what I mean?"

"You want to acquire the galaxy data I scanned and then build a colony?"

"Almost, but it's not me who builds the colony, it's you who builds the colony."

Chen Ming frowned and asked in succession; "Why do you say that? And why did you suddenly bring this up? Will there really be no problem if the colony is outside the empire's territory?"

The boss immediately answered as if he had already prepared a plan: "Why is it you who builds the colony instead of me? The reason is very simple."

"Because I'm lazy."

"As for the sudden "The reason for this." "It is because in the entire human empire, you can survive in the unknown star field that can go to the empire. "As for the question, what do you think will be?" Chen Ming immediately said two problems he had just thought of it: "Yuhui, there are people." "I said, this is not my colony, it is the colonies of the person who is now under Yuhui. "" "I also think, but this depends on you, depending on whether you can get the real attention of Yu Hui." "As for the problem of people, I can solve it. Your thing is that I am not fully prepared enough to be intercepted, but the colonies who prepare for me in advance will never happen. "You know, a perfect self-sufficient colony is an existence that can provide all the materials that can only be obtained in human society."

"I only provide you with support. When the colony can make money, you can get dividends, and everything in other colonies belongs to you."

"Everything you need can be found in the colony."

Chen Ming has seen Yu Hui's colony and the colony of the Star Region Capital with his own eyes, and knows that what the boss said is correct.

But he still has some questions to ask: "But colony construction is not that simple, right?"

"Of course not, so I just want to tell you that you can't find a suitable galaxy so quickly now."

"As for the work to be done in building a colony, you can actually learn from Yu Hui, or if you have time, you can find me and I can talk to you slowly."

Ended the communication with the boss.

Chen Ming also tacitly agreed to the idea of ​​building a colony with the boss.

After digesting what the boss said, Chen Ming's eyes returned to the communication equipment of the sentinel.

He was considering whether to contact the company.

At present, the company seems to have only sent a message to Chen Ming's spaceship, and has not gone so far as to install monitoring equipment directly on the spaceship.

After all, even if they do this, they still have to wait for Chen Ming to come if they want to communicate with him.

The initiative to contact is in Chen Ming's hands, so installing equipment on the sentinel for monitoring is likely to cause Chen Ming's dislike.

So they may not know the details of Chen Ming yet, and they don't know that Chen Ming has contacted the boss.

This is a good thing for Chen Ming, because Chen Ming now feels that he does not have to contact the company.

Chen Ming needs to stay with Yu Hui for a while to obtain the interests that are very important to him, and there are also needs from the boss.

But the company obviously urgently needs Chen Ming to help them get Sky Steel and confront the military.

Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the greater the company's losses in Sky Steel.

So if the company knows Chen Ming's situation, it will definitely find a way to take Chen Ming away.

Chen Ming doesn't want to leave like this.

If he leaves now, not only will Chen Ming's chances of getting benefits from Yu Hui be ruined, but he may even be hunted down by two Yu Hui cruisers.

And from now on, Yu Hui may put him on the blacklist directly.

This is definitely not a good thing for Chen Ming.

So Chen Ming plans to delay for two days and not contact anyone else.

Anyway, the boss and the factory director, Lao Wu, are familiar with each other. The factory director and others should know that Chen Ming is fine in two days, and they will probably conceal it for Chen Ming temporarily.

Unless the company is really urgent, they may try to contact Chen Ming through the boss.

But this requires the boss to get through first.

Chen Ming picked up the terminal in front of him and opened the professional books that Lao Wu had given him before. He had not finished reading many of these books.

And Yu Hui should also give him a bunch of Yu Hui's professional books in the future, and he would have to read them all slowly.

But now, he has plenty of time.
