Chapter 403 Begins

The day after he ended the communication with the Minister of Psychic Power.

Chen Ming had already started preparing for the next big project.

He started with the two star gates that he and the legion owned that could connect to the star gates of any star field in the empire.

Most of the star gates in the empire are activated every day, so the things affected by Chen Ming's psychic power can also spread to the capitals of all star fields in the empire through the star gates in a very short time.

Each star field capital is a transportation hub for interstellar navigation. Then, through the things controlled by him that arrive at the capital, a part of the metal liquid is separated and taken to other spacecraft to the distribution and trade centers of different star fields.

Control the space station or colony of the trade center, and use the facilities here to allow the constantly split metal liquid to continuously control more and more spacecraft, so that the diffusion efficiency is further improved.

Chen Ming does not need to do it himself, he only needs to use these spacecrafts that are already running around the empire to spread his metal liquid like dandelions.

If the metal liquid is just spread to every corner of the empire, Chen Ming's one week is even a bit conservative.

But he obviously has more to prepare than just these.

Since neither Chen Ming nor anyone else in the empire can be sure how many people in the empire are affected by brainwashed psychics.

So for the sake of confidentiality.

There are only three people in the empire who know about what Chen Ming proposed.

Three people who are absolutely impossible to be affected by brainwashed psychics.

No one else knows about it.

Even the Yuhui cores who are going to take over the management of different star regions and galaxies after a large number of personnel losses are the same.

They all need to wait until Chen Ming starts to take action before they can be urgently called.

That is why the Minister of Psychic Energy took the initiative to mention that the Yuhui they are preparing to take over the work may also be affected by brainwashed psychics.

And hope that Chen Ming, who is professional in controlling various mechanical life, can solve this problem.

So he has to make some extra preparations.

Chen Ming does not have many Yuhui in his hands, and at most he can help him stabilize his colony.

But he has always had some reserve labor somewhere, and it is time to take them away.

After setting up the respective behavioral logic for each metal liquid that goes out along the empire's transportation network.

Chen Ming used psychic energy to run directly from the Origin Galaxy back to his hometown, the Pirate Space Station.

I met with the boss, Lao Wu, and the factory director who I hadn't seen for a while and talked about the recent situation. By the way, I strengthened the security facilities for a few of them to prevent them from being affected by the incident in the future.

Chen Ming drove his Supreme Point to the Yuhui Star Region outside the Galo Star Region.

He did not use psychic power again, nor did he jump directly.

Instead, he entered the hyperspace channel from the pirate space station and drove the spacecraft to the Yuhui Star Region openly without any cover.

On the way, Chen Ming also encountered some fleets of the Empire that were dealing with scattered individuals of the Mechanical Clan.

However, this had no effect, and Chen Ming still entered the Yuhui Star Region smoothly.

Continue to break in without any cover.

Obviously, in the Yuhui Star Region, there are Yuhui spacecraft patrolling near some key channel nodes, and even different places often have Yuhui individuals running around.

But all the Yuhui uniformly treat Chen Ming as if he does not exist, allowing Chen Ming to reach the core of the Yuhui Star Region from the border of the Yuhui Star Region.

Chen Ming had seen and been here before.

He was once a prisoner, but now...

Chen Ming's spaceship soon arrived at the orbit of the planet in the innermost protection circle of the Yuhui Star Region Galaxy.

Even after arriving here, Yuhui did not make any response.

Chen Ming took the initiative to send a communication to the planet to apply for landing, and soon received a response that he could land and subsequent signal guidance.

The signal guided his spaceship into the planet's atmosphere.

Then Chen Ming saw a purely mechanized colony at the first time.

From the sky, the entire colony could hardly see any extra gaps, and there were only complex running machines in every place.

And there was a giant mechanical building in the center of the colony.

If Chen Ming guessed correctly, the Kletka simulator was inside this building.

Chen Ming landed the highest point near the colony.

He got off the spaceship, and a ground vehicle made by Yuhui drove towards him.

He entered the colony and arrived at the foot of the giant building through a path that was obviously just demolished.

The self-driving car soon broke down on the side.

Chen Ming didn't care. He walked straight into the building.

The building was not solid. In addition to the outer protective structure, there was a large redundant space inside.

And a tower that seemed to be built almost by various lines, emitting a stream of continuous energy supply from the bottom to the top.

Chen Ming looked up at the tower for a while and asked, "Is this the replica of Kletka?"

"Yes, we were born here."

Yu Hui's voice came from inside the tower.

Chen Ming still maintained a very friendly attitude towards Yu Hui as always and asked, "Who is speaking now? Can you make the decision directly?"

"We have a total of fourteen cores installed on the Kletka replica, and our thinking is interoperable."

"Very good."

Chen Ming nodded slightly and asked: "Then you should know what I am here for, and you should also know the ultimate outcome if you continue to do nothing and stay here."

"..."

silence.

Seeing that the core of Yuhui here didn't seem to want to respond to his words, Chen Ming continued: "You can only serve as cannon fodder for Yuhui's large army here, but follow me, and I will regard you as my strength."

"I'm afraid you don't know that your Yuhui army is already preparing to retreat to a place where the empire will never be able to find it in a short time. They are afraid."

"We know."

The Afterglows finally responded: "Not only what you said, but also the war between the Empire and the Machine Tribe, and the fact that you prevented us from intervening in the war."

Chen Ming asked back: "You should know that you just simply gave up your life in the past, right?"

"The war between the empire and the machine race is one-sided. Are you really afraid that some of the empire's fleets do not have the machine race to show off their military exploits?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm still a little busy this coming week. Take your pick and tell me what you think?"

The Afterglows were silent again for a long time before speaking: "We have no choice."

"I actually gave it anyway."

Chen Ming pointed to his feet and said: "Although the afterglow in all places except this galaxy has been penetrated by me in recent years."

"But I have never controlled any afterglow individuals here in Kletka. As long as you want, you can directly control the security robots here in Kletka to destroy Kletka and yourselves."

"Look, this is the choice I leave you."

Yuhui seemed a little dissatisfied and said: "This is not a choice at all."

"Doesn't it count? If I hadn't given you this choice, you know what your final outcome would be."

"You don't think things would develop like this without me, right?"

"The empire has destroyed the star field of the mechanical tribe, and has gained an advantage in the frontal battlefield with the Yuhui army. Without me, what will the empire do next?"

The Afterglows tried to retort again: "Without you, the empire would not have made such progress, and we would not have fallen to this point."

"I just took it as a compliment from you."

Chen Ming was too lazy to continue talking nonsense.

The reason why he had not completely controlled the afterglow here before was to make his revealed power weaker and not be remembered by too many people.

He is no longer afraid of being missed by anyone, and he is still willing to come and deal with this matter personally because he has a certain respect for Yuhui himself.

Because Yuhui is an intelligent mechanical life, and it is a life created by humans.

They do not have their own culture, they are part of the imperial civilization.

That's why Chen Mingcai is willing to treat Yu Hui as an equal life in many cases.

But if Yuhui here doesn't know what's good after he's given face, then Chen Ming doesn't mind using some coercion.

"Think about it as soon as possible. Even if I am here, there are many people in the empire who have ideas about you."

"Don't think about it, we have no objection."

It seems that Yu Hui still has a brain.

Chen Ming nodded: "Very good, let's start from here."

He stretched out his hand and released some metallic liquid from his palm, and let the metallic liquid flow into the tower in front of him.

He also brought the copy of this Kletka simulator under his control.

Chen Ming read Kletka's database and completely controlled the afterglow of the entire star field in his hands.

It fulfilled an idea he had that took a long time to implement.

"Okay, give up this star field when the time comes, and issue an order to collect all the star field resources. After that, we will only take away the resources and cores. I have prepared a new place for you."

"The entire star field?"

"The entire star field. Or do you have to block the way out of the empire and be surrounded by the empire in the future?"

"We will obey your orders."

"Um."

Chen Ming responded, and then continued: "It shouldn't take much Yuhui to organize the resources of the star field, right? I need to keep the other Yuhui who have no tasks for the time being on standby, and I may use them at any time."

He needed them to do the next thing that would affect the entire empire.

Chen Ming originally thought that Yuhui would agree quickly, but they asked, "Can't you do this kind of thing yourself? There is no need for our consent."

"no."

Chen Ming was a little nervous: "I gave you face to continue to manage the entire Afterglow Star Territory and help me do things, but you are still not happy."

"We just don't quite understand why you want to do this. You are fully capable of relying on psychic power to notify every individual of the news. You don't need us at all."

"This is just a personal habit. Although it is feasible for me to do everything, it consumes too much energy."

"You just have to figure it out. If you can't do it well, I can totally change it to another Yuhui."

"Understood, we will do a good job."

The entire star field has been completely controlled by Chen Ming. The only hope is that the large forces are also preparing to evacuate. What else can they do?

Seven days later.

The time agreed between Chen Ming and the Minister of Psychics has arrived.

He called the Minister of Psychics and said, "Ready."

The psychic minister seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He picked up the phone almost as soon as Chen Ming called and asked, "Is everyone sure?"

"Sure."

"Let's get started. Pay attention to every corner of the empire. There are 60 million people. If we do well, we can hope to suppress this matter completely."

After all, the average population of each planet with colonies in the empire is between 50 million and 100 million.

Sixty million people are really nothing in the entire empire.

Previously, Yunluoxing, a planet in the prosperous star field, was infected by scarlet and hundreds of millions of people died.

It was only half a year later that it was forgotten by many people.

With so many people, it’s really nothing.

"Why do I feel like I should say this?"

The moment the Minister of Psychics also gave their prepared response.

Every one of the 60 million people targeted by Chen Ming.

No matter where they are, whether they're in a colony or a space station, whether they're walking or piloting a ship.

As long as they were on the list, they were all involved in the metallic liquid that appeared out of thin air at their feet at this moment.

The psychic energy that was Chen Ming was sent to a designated place that he and the minister of psychic energy had told him.

It was a habitable planet that had just been discovered outside the empire and had no trace of development.

Of course, everything can't go smoothly.

The moment Chen Ming took action.

In an ordinary colony in a galaxy next to the capital galaxy of the Gallo star field.

The bald man Chen Ming worked with before now lives here.

Ever since the bald head helped him warn in advance that some people were investigating his identity, and Chen Ming gave him a fairly objective sum of money in return.

Baldhead took the initiative to run away from the repair shop.

He bought a house, got married, and planned to lie down like this for the rest of his life.

But just today, Bald, who was sunbathing in the yard, suddenly heard screams coming from outside.

Having spent many years in the pirate space station, he immediately sensed the troops and climbed onto the courtyard wall to look outside.

And just outside the yard, on the road, several people were being sucked into the swirling metallic liquid.

Those people were the neighbors he had seen recently.

When the bald head just poked out of the wall.

The people who were trapped over there suddenly seemed to have found the target, and their screams became even more fierce.

They forcibly tore off their limbs and separated themselves from the metallic liquid, swinging the severed limbs and flying towards the bald head.

"Fuck!"

The bald man yelled and climbed down the wall to go back to the house to find a gun.

Before he could even take two steps, he was knocked down by a heavy force, and a chill rose from the bald tailbone to Tianling Gai.

Before he could make a move, the terminal he was holding suddenly overflowed with a large amount of metallic liquid, which protected him. The neighbor who flew into the yard was also involved in it, and disappeared on the ground in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for the blood stains on the neighbor's torn limbs and the scratches on his bald head, he would have even doubted whether he was dreaming just now.

The bald man stood there and thought for a long time, and suddenly felt scared.

But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the metallic liquid seemed familiar.

So he rummaged through his address book and found a number to call.

at the same time.

The capital of Caimo Star Territory.

Caimo Xingyu, who was having a meeting in a conference room in the government building, was sitting at the main seat in the conference room.

Just like this, I saw about one-third of the people attending the meeting having a large amount of metallic liquid produced out of thin air at their feet and sucking them into it.

He could hear curses and ferocious roars coming from the metallic liquid, and he could see the anti-psionic device built into the government building warning that psychic fluctuations were being suppressed.

He didn't make any move, he just waited quietly for it to end.

He didn't know what happened, but he knew the source of the metallic liquid.

Suddenly his terminal received a message.

He glanced at the terminal, then at the flustered people in the conference room, and calmly took a sip of tea: "Continue the meeting, let's stop for a moment on the topic of promoting the colorful nebulae in our star field as a tourist hotspot again, let's do it first Let’s talk about what to do with the missing positions.”

Still at this point in time.

In a conference hall at the headquarters of the Fifth Army.

The Fifth Army Corps is making an internal public report.

Their army commander is frowning because this year's military expenditure has not increased much.

It was obvious that the Fifth Army suffered heavy losses in the Caimo Incident more than half a year ago.

However, the military expenditures provided this year have not increased much, and they have not even been able to make up for last year's losses.

Obviously there is some special reason for this.

And the biggest reason is that...

The commander of the Fifth Army looked at Li Sheng.

He was the one who commanded the Fifth Legion fleet during the Caimo Incident.

He was also the one who ordered the early start of the orbital bombing of Yunluoxing to clear the ground, causing An Wuping to almost die there.

Chen Ming's ability is known to everyone in the entire empire, and the relationship between Chen Ming and An Wuping is also known.

He is the only reason for the problem of reduced military resources of the Fifth Army.

There was nothing the commander of the Fifth Army could do. What Li Sheng did seemed to be no problem at the time.

The problem lies in the failure to deal with An Wuping completely.

He sighed inwardly,

Suddenly, at least half of the people in the conference room in front of him saw a metal liquid rising up under their feet.

After wrapping up all those people, it disappeared in the conference room.

This sudden situation caused chaos in the conference room.

There were also many psychics in the Fifth Legion, and they immediately tracked the source of psychic energy and wanted to leave the conference room.

The face of the legion commander also changed drastically in an instant, and he couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart: "Why do you want to retaliate at this time?"

He was about to explode, and saw the chaotic scene and immediately shouted: "Quiet!"

He spent a lot of effort to barely suppress the chaotic situation in the conference room.

He was about to say something, and an urgent message came to his and some people on the battlefield.

After reading it, the Fifth Legion commander remained silent for a long time, his face was uncertain.

And here in the Fourteenth Legion Research Institute, a similar situation was also happening.

The designer of the highest point, Shao Yang, was also a psychic who came out of the psychic society together with Chen Ming.

He saw that several people in his research institute were directly dragged away by the metal liquid, and nothing was left.

He also saw a similar situation next door, and even psychics were dragged into it. Their struggle to release psychic energy was meaningless.

When he saw the metal liquid, he knew who did it, but he didn't know the specific situation.

He could only restrain his men and hide in the laboratory and not go out.

Fortunately, he had Chen Ming's contact information.

Soon he got some additional information from Chen Ming.

He didn't say anything, but further restrained his people and did what he should do.

He Gu, who was doing academic exchanges at the Fanchao Research Institute in the core star field of the empire, saw a similar scene like anyone who had a slight relationship with Chen Ming.

When he saw the metal liquid, he felt very familiar and immediately retreated to the corner of the laboratory.

Just watched some people being restricted and taken away by the metal liquid.

Quite a number of people in the Fanchao Research Institute were still confused.

But just by looking at the terminal, they calmed down and began to appease the remaining people.

He Gu looked around and saw that no one seemed to care about him. He immediately took out the terminal and found Chen Ming's contact information.

And on Gaia Star of the Origin Galaxy.

In Chen Ming's office.

He had just answered a bunch of questions from people who knew him when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

As Chen Ming finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open.

The person who came in was a researcher under him. He was not familiar with him and had only met him once or twice at most.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Ming would definitely ask what happened when someone came, but he came at this time.

And he was carrying the psychic fluctuations that Chen Ming was extremely familiar with.

Chen Ming had only one reaction: "Hey, you finally came out?"

"Do you think you did a good job?"

The brainwashed psychic said to Chen Ming in a cold tone, walked to the side of Chen Ming's office, and turned on the TV on the wall.

As soon as the TV was turned on, it was playing an urgent news.

The content of the news was that the empire confirmed the identity of the brainwashed psychic of Zuo Jing's leader.

Of course, the identity of the face that Chen Ming had seen many times had been found out.

Although this is not necessarily the true identity of the brainwashed psychic, it is the most commonly used identity of the brainwashed psychic. Even the two scarlet-infected corpses used for infection and invasion that Chen Ming saw were of this identity.

It is absolutely no problem to publicly pull out this identity.

The brainwashed psychic continued to switch several channels.

After cutting off several channels that broadcast this news, he finally cut to another channel that broadcast other news.

This news is reporting another thing.

"Unknown metal liquid 'cannibalism' incidents have occurred in various parts of the empire, and it is suspected that psychics are the culprit."

Chen Ming looked at him indifferently and said, "It seems that some places are still occupied by you, so?"

The brainwashed psychic looked back at Chen Ming and snapped his fingers.

The head of the host who was broadcasting live on the screen immediately exploded, screaming incessantly, and the live broadcast was urgently cut off.

He immediately switched to the next channel.

This time, the news was broadcasting the news that a large number of people suddenly died in the empire.

At the same time, at the same moment, in different places, the death method was the same, all of which were head explosions.

The current number of casualties has reached hundreds of thousands, and the number is still rising wildly.

"You did all this..."
