Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 143 Prepared



Chapter 143 Prepared

After knowing that it was not the director who helped him before who wanted to take his things.

Chen Ming did not have so many strange thoughts, and asked the factory director directly to the core of the problem: "Who is this new director?"

The factory director said as if he had wanted to say it for a long time: "This is a little confusing, but it should be easy to understand."

"The previous Sky Steel matter has been resolved, so the 14th Legion has reopened the galaxy to us."

"We are re-investigating and counting the number and growth of Alturan sky eels, and then determining the amount of sky steel ore that these sky eels can produce regularly."

"Although the previous losses will not be recovered, the company must be clear in the future."

"Since the profits of Sky Steel have already been in the company's belly , then it must be digested. "

"Most of the sky steel will definitely belong to the entire company, and will be used to reduce the cost of spacecraft manufacturing in the future, and no longer need to be purchased at high prices in other places."

"Or it can be used in the research and development of spacecraft. Sky steel is the top-level of advanced materials. With large-scale production, it should be used in many places."

"But these materials cannot all be used in the company, and a part of them must be taken out."

"Therefore, different departments within the company need to distribute these benefits, and by the way, they need to find a way to drive away other forces that are eyeing this piece of meat."

The factory director explained the current situation of the company to Chen Ming and began to talk about more details.

"We got Sky Steel back because of you, and I was the first to contact you, the first to know your situation, and the one who notified you back."

"So the company's ability to get Sky Steel back also has something to do with me, which is why the departments behind me can get the largest share."

"For the rest of the things, it depends on who contributes more in this matter, and who can get more in the end."

"But the details are definitely not as simple as I said, but it's too complicated so I won't waste your time explaining it in detail."

"You just know that the director who manages the Pirate Space Station gave in in the end, and that's enough."

The factory manager was a little After a pause, he continued, "You know that there is Lao Wu in the space station, so the value of a position here is quite high, especially the position of director."

"By the way, Lao Wu and I are personal friends, and I will not use my relationship with Lao Wu to deal with such company matters."

"Anyway, I have also made it clear to the company, and no one can force me, not even the chairman."

The factory manager suddenly said jokingly, "It will be the same when you become rich in the future."

But Chen Ming said seriously, "If there really comes such a day, I don't mind it."

The factory manager was not surprised, and said something vaguely, and continued to talk about the company's affairs.

"Although the real power of the space station is still in the hands of the deputy director, the new director will always have some power."

"He has taken a fancy to your things and is indeed capable of taking them away."

"Anyway, the current director has nothing to do with me, and he has nothing to do with the current deputy director. It's better to say that the relationship is quite bad."

"After all, who can give a good face to a top leader who was parachuted in?"

"Besides, he himself is not very good."

The factory director's tone suddenly became unhappy: "You know that although there are few people in our maintenance factory, there are many places to make money."

"Then he arranged several people who did nothing to come in and get paid for nothing."

"It's okay to arrange people and get paid for nothing, but he always changes the purchase orders I arranged, and I don't know where the suppliers he chose came from. The quality of the goods coming in is at least two grades lower."

"He is full of kickbacks, which is really a headache for me."

"How many people are there in the maintenance factory?"

"So many people died before and after some time ago, it's hard to say After recruiting three newcomers, one of them died, one spy, one was still alive. He again, with you and Lao Wu, who are good -babies in front of them. When you meet the fools arranged by the fools, they will quarrel and fight when they quarrel. "" Then I still have to stop it. But I continued to eat a few meals a few times sooner or later. "" I really ..., headache. " Moreover, Chen Ming had the impression that the factory manager actually liked money.

He had made a fortune by refurbishing second-hand goods with him in private before, but he was upset when he couldn't continue.

Suddenly, someone came to steal the repair shop's business, and it could even be said that they were trying to make the repair shop go bankrupt.

It would be strange if the factory manager was not angry.

So Chen Ming asked very considerately: "It just so happens that I have to go back in the next few days, so I can kill all these people?"

The factory director was stunned and said quickly: "Don't, don't, don't, you are wronged and your debt is owned. If someone robs your supplies and spaceship, the most you can do is kill the boss."

"If the director dies, I can easily take care of the other trash. You don't need to do it yourself."

"Wait a minute."

The factory director suddenly paused and realized what Chen Ming had just said.

He asked with some uncertainty: "You just said you were coming back? Come back to me?"

"Um."

Chen Ming responded and said: "It's almost time to come back, but I stopped not long ago and I should be leaving again soon."

"Going out again, where are you going?"

"I should meet with the boss first, and then I will fly out along the area between the afterglow and the mechanical tribe outside."

"How far I want to go depends on how long it takes me to find a good galaxy."

"Go on an adventure?"

"No, it's to explore."

"Colony? Did Lao Wu help you?"

That would be the case if the previous factory director asked.

But now, Chen Ming can be self-reliant and build a colony.

Of course, the boss did help. There is no problem in saying that it was the boss who helped.

So Chen Ming simply responded to the factory director's question: "Yes."

"That's going to take a long time. Are you ready?"

"It started a long time ago."

The factory director said with emotion: "It's good to be young and you can run anywhere, but I don't know how often we can see him again in the future."

Chen Ming corrected him and said, "Then I'm not talking to you right now."

"I'm talking about meeting in person."

"Well...there is a chance."

Chen Ming's abilities are still limited. All abilities except detecting names are limited to non-living things, and his control ability is limited to mechanical equipment after leaving the spacecraft.

Therefore, in the early and middle stages of colonial construction, Chen Ming was definitely unable to completely get rid of the help of the human world.

And in the future, there will always be places where organisms need to be used in colonies, such as environmental modification, crop cultivation, etc.

At that time he would definitely need spaceships to transport these types of things over long distances.

Then this is your chance to go back.

However, even though Chen Ming said this, the factory director still said with some disbelief: "I hope so."

After the factory director finished talking about the new director, he quickly adjusted his mood and said to Chen Ming: "Ah, by the way, Lao Wu told me in the past two days that he discovered that someone was following and investigating him."

"He said that besides drinking at the bar every day, he also went to Lao Wu's place to chat, and he didn't mess with anyone. I asked you if you have any clues."

Chen Ming immediately remembered the previous exploration of psykers by people from the war zone.

"This may be related to the first time the Fourteenth Legion rescued me. Do you know the details? If you don't know, I will explain it to you."

"Need not."

The factory director casually refused and said, "I basically know what happened that time."

"Lao Wu told me that the source was that some high-level officials in the war zone where our star field is located decided to retaliate against you because you brought Sky Steel back to the company."

"Old Wu almost told me something similar, but he didn't mess with them. Does it have anything to do with them?"

Chen Ming explained: "I guess it's because they know that I'm still alive, but they can't find me, so they can only come to you who know me."

"You have a company behind you, and the boss himself is not easy to deal with, so you can only go to Lao Wu."

The factory director frowned and asked, "Is there such a thing? How do they know you are still alive?"

"Psychic."

The factory director shook his head and imitated Chen Ming's previous tone and said, "That's okay."

Chen Ming had nothing to do about this for the time being. He could only say: "I can only ask Old Wu to pay attention first. Those who want to deal with me are just a few high-level officials in the war zone, not the entire war zone. They cannot mobilize the resources of the entire war zone." Targeting Lao Wu.”

"If it doesn't work, wait until I turn around and ask Old Wu to go out and hide with me?"

"Wait, something doesn't seem right. If I go back, the war zone will definitely focus on me. Who cares about Lao Wu? Let Lao Wu hold on for a few days, I'm already speeding up."

However, when the factory director mentioned this matter to Chen Ming, he just asked about it in passing. With advance precautions, he could handle many things on the pirate space station.

So the factory director casually agreed. Even if Chen Ming didn't come back, he was confident that Lao Wu could continue to live happily.

He even had the leisure to say jokingly: "Actually, I don't think he would want to go out with you even if you ask him to. You don't have what he wants."

"Wine and pretty sister, right?"

"Hey."

The factory director suddenly laughed like Old Wu and said, "As long as you understand."

"Lao Wu and I will take care of it. There will be no problem. You can just do your thing with peace of mind. There is no need to worry because of us."

"Well, okay, if you have any questions, contact me immediately. I'm capable of doing some things now."

The factory director accepted Chen Ming's love and said, "Look, don't I just wait for you to help me kill the new director?"

"By the way, speaking of which, I feel like someone in the company may know that you are still alive."

"How to say?"

"The company recently sent over a batch of new spaceships, which are parked at the dock. I bought them in name, but I remember clearly that I never bought them."

"These ships are the ones that were still in their original condition and could be repaired when the last battle between our company and the military ended, as well as the armor-piercing ship."

Chen Ming suddenly remembered after hearing the factory director's words.

Before, he had just gone with Yu Hui and had closer contact with Lao Wu.

The company had direct contact with Lao Wu and asked Lao Wu to help pass on a message.

It was said that as long as Chen Ming could go back, the company would repair all the ships he controlled during the battle, including armor-piercing ones, and give them to him.

But after the company decided to give up on Chen Ming and took the initiative to express this intention to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming basically paid no attention to this matter and almost forgot about it.

I didn't expect that the company would send it over at such a strange time.

But since the company clearly wanted to give him the ship, there was no way Chen Ming would not want it.

So he asked: "Which ships?"

"Not many. Apart from the armor-piercing ship, there are only five Hammerheads."

"Hammerhead? It's okay."

Chen Ming was not surprised by this result.

When the battle with the military broke out before, the company's fleet was weak. In the end, both sides were fighting desperately, and there were not many remaining spaceships.

Moreover, Chen Ming's mental power at that time was not as strong as it is now after absorbing the spiritual nerves, and he could only control a part of the destroyer.

Although there was additional support from the space station before, all the destroyer-class ships that came to support were blown up, and there were no other models left at all.

In other words, only a few of the fleet's original ships survived, and those were the Hammerheads.

This result is acceptable to Chen Ming.

Because Chen Ming still doesn't regard the Yuhui's spaceship he controls as his own.

After all, he has not yet left the Afterglow Star Territory, and the ships belonging to Afterglow have not yet completely belonged to him.

Also, it is because Chen Ming does not want these spaceships and Yuhui individuals to belong to him.

Because in that case, it would make him feel very uncomfortable when these ships and individuals were lost.

What he was going to do next would not be without losses, so Chen Ming maintained this state for now.

Then, these six spaceships should be regarded as Sindar Company's final compensation to him.

It seems that the company is indeed planning to completely sever ties with him.

Even if they knew that Chen Ming was still alive, there was no contact and they just sent the spaceship over.

Chen Ming definitely chose to accept it.

The pure interest relationship between him and the company is over, so long as his relationship with the factory director, Lao Wu and Baldhead remains intact.

The factory director had expected this result before, and he had no intention of stopping it.

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do."

"I'll help you delay it for a few days. I should be able to protect your supplies and spaceship until the day you come back. You can take care of the rest."

"As long as you can return to our society ruled by law, you, a psychic, have special privileges."

"Um."

Chen Ming ended his communication with the factory director and returned to the present.

Sure enough, his previous considerations were correct. The war zone was still eyeing him, and he had to pay more attention to it.

If Chen Ming wants to deal with the war zone.

Bai Quan, who has conflicts with the war zone, is the best partner.

Just in time, Chen Ming's plan was about to begin, and it was time for him to contact Baiquan again.

Chen Ming sent a terminal to Bai Quan through his boss a few days ago. Contacting Bai Quan can be done at any time.

Bai Quan quickly noticed the movement in the terminal, and he also knew what Chen Ming was here to ask.

So he said simply: "I am ready. I have confirmed that the target is the new-class unmanned battlecruiser that has entered the final stage of construction and is ready to go at any time."

Chen Ming was very satisfied with Bai Quan's reply efficiency, and decided the time very decisively: "Then it will start in two days, around this time. I will keep in touch with you from tomorrow on."

"Understood."

Bai Quan agreed quickly, but Chen Ming always felt that the time was a bit tight, but there was nothing that could be done.

Because now, there are only four days left before the estimated deadline for the completion of the second spiritual enlightenment nerve in the afterglow that was previously estimated.

Two days in advance is already a bit of a limit, and if Yuhui finishes it earlier, something may happen.

To be honest, this time was a bit contrary to his original idea of ​​leaving some margin.

But there are so many things that Chen Ming needs to prepare for.

Even if the final execution plan does not require him to think about it personally.

After all, Brilliant Gamma Z all knew about Chen Ming's abilities and how to make good use of his spiritual energy.

But even so, even with Chen Ming, these things have been discussed before, and it is only now that we have a rough overall plan.

But there are still some details that have not been finalized.

Bai Quan's previous preparations also took time, and they were completed around this time, otherwise Bai Quan would have found a way to contact him long ago.

So there is nothing we can do about delaying the time so far.

Fortunately, in the end, Chen Ming almost completed the preparations before the deadline.

At that time, it should actually start from himself.

Of course not to start running away, but to start other things.

Chen Ming couldn't be the first to evacuate, he had to stay here in Yuhui to stall for time.

If he ran away, Yu Hui would react immediately and interfere with Chen Ming's subsequent plans.

But as long as he doesn't run away, it will take time for Yuhui to investigate and understand what happened to some galaxies and finally react.

Then he still has room to pull.

Chen Ming not only wanted to leave, he also wanted to take away some other things.

Therefore, as long as Chen Ming, the point that Yu Hui has been paying attention to, does not move first, then he will have a period of time to make the things he wants to take away move first.

That is, those afterglow individuals, industrial facilities and basic materials.

He needs to gather them all together and finally transport them away together through the resonance of the cruiser's jump engine.

Cruiser Chen Ming is ready.

He currently has control of three cruisers.

No, it cannot be said to be three cruisers. It should be said that it is three alpha individuals who can control the cruisers.

Three Afterglow individuals each control a cruiser.

The brilliant Brilliant-class unmanned cruiser, the Alpha-class Afterglow-controlled Flicker-class unmanned cruiser mothership that Yuhui guards in the border galaxy.

And Huiyao, who was tricked by Gamma A two days ago and was also controlled by Chen Ming, controlled the Huiyao-class unmanned cruiser.

However, because Hui Yao usually wanders around various star fields, as a team leader, he leads different Yu Hui individuals to perform various tasks.

So it is the most normal thing for it to occasionally disappear in the eyes of other afterglows.

Therefore, it has now boarded a cruiser-level Colossus-class heavy cargo ship with the help of Glory.

This will be the core of transportation after Chen Ming.

It can use its jump engine to resonate with a large number of other cargo ships at any time and take away what Chen Ming wants to take away.

Therefore, all Chen Ming's mental power in the future needs to be used to support the maintenance of the cruiser, so that the jump system can be quickly cooled and activated multiple times in a short period of time.

This is a serious test for Chen Ming's mental strength.

Because once the plan started, he couldn't stop until he was safely evacuated.

Stopping means failure.

Yu Hui will not give Chen Ming much time and a second chance.

The longer he holds on, the greater the ultimate reward will be.

After almost all the things in his hands were carried away, Yu Hui realized something was wrong.

Then it was time for the Fourteenth Army to take action.

They can help Chen Ming distract Yu Hui's attention.

But it can't be too early, otherwise if the afterglow shakes people in the entire star field like last time and shakes up several of Chen Ming's Alpha-level afterglows and discovers their anomalies in advance, then Chen Ming will suffer a loss.

So it would be best if the Fourteenth Legion suddenly sprang out just when Yuhui discovered something was wrong.

Chen Ming and the 14th Army Corps launching an attack together will definitely give Yu Hui a headache.

However, it is more difficult to accurately grasp this time point.

So Chen Ming didn't expect it, he just hoped that Bai Quan could attract Yu Hui's attention at about the same time and share some of his pressure.

Buy him some more time.

Then it was time for Chen Ming to retreat.

This time can be appropriately advanced to prevent unexpected situations from happening.

Anyway, by that time, the things Chen Ming transported in advance were all based on value. The high-value Afterglow cores and industrial equipment must have been shipped long ago.

It's nothing more than the loss of some ordinary basic supplies. Chen Ming also has his boss who can help in this regard. If it is lost, it is lost, and it doesn't hurt at all.

His life is obviously more important.

At this time, it was the most difficult moment for Chen Ming.

He needed to have enough mental energy to support the glorious jump to reach him after spending a lot of mental energy repairing the cruiser, and then jump again to take him away after the repairs.

He needs to have the energy to get out.

He is ready.
