Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 322: Chapter 124: Self-Consciousness, Spiritual World_3

For instance, Chen Ming had anticipated their methods in advance and made preparations, which forced them to control Chen Ming by force and conduct experiments directly, instead of relying on drugs to induce a coma before proceeding with the experiments.

Moreover, even when Chen Ming’s movement was restricted, he still had the ability to use the Spiritual Stone to counterattack, which eventually led to unexpected results in the device’s startup process.

After these incidents, all Dusk could do was wait and hope that the final outcome would be in their favor.

After G3 arranged for the robots of the research institute to start cleaning the wreckage of Iron Ore No. around the research institute and clear the ruins of the work area.

While monitoring Chen Ming’s condition, it began to draft its report for submission.

”The Enlightenment Nerve extraction device did not start at the peak intensity of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, resulting in an actual success rate reduction of 20% to 30%.”

”The artificially ineffective Enlightenment Nerve was broken due to stimulation from the Delusional Spiritual Stone carried by Chen Ming, failing to maintain normal operation. Moreover, the broken part entered Chen Ming’s body completely, making recovery impossible.”

”It is impossible to confirm whether the artificially ineffective Enlightenment Nerve successfully absorbed Chen Ming’s Enlightenment Nerve before Chen Ming awakes.”

”However, the device program is still running, and further reactions need to be observed.”

G3 finished writing the summary and then began to add more detailed content to the report, including all the complex data recorded in the devices.

Also, just now, when Chen Ming had already fallen into a coma and his brain waves were completely calm, Iron Ore No. moved on its own, protecting the research institute and Chen Ming.

Currently, G3 is also collecting, collecting the wreckage of Iron Ore No. for investigation; however, like Chen Ming’s current state, it also requires time for subsequent monitoring.

G3 is observing Chen Ming.

Meanwhile, the observed Chen Ming was having a vague dream.

He dreamed of a chaotic metallic jungle made of machinery, dilapidated metal, and numerous spaceship wrecks.

He wandered like a lost traveler, inexplicably holding a cup of Immortal Spirit Leaf Tea.

Confused about the situation, Chen Ming drank the tea in one gulp and began to accelerate his pace through the iron jungle.

After walking for an uncertain amount of time, Chen Ming found a special clearing in this iron jungle.

It was approximately a 0.5 square kilometer clearing, about the size of a Cruiser.

In the very center of this clearing, there was a small mountain made of various spaceship wrecks piled up.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Ming found that all the spaceship wrecks on this junk mountain were ships he had personally controlled.

This relatively flat clearing under the wrecked mountain was actually the top armor of the refraction-class ship he had recently controlled.

However, after Chen Ming accounted for all the wreckage, he discovered that one of the ships he had personally controlled, Iron Ore No., was missing from this wrecked mountain.

The wreckage of Iron Ore No. did not appear here.

Although many ships indirectly controlled by Chen Ming through Dusk did not appear here,

Iron Ore No. was his first ship, so this shouldn’t have happened, right?

With questions in mind, Chen Ming approached the shipwreck mountain and stood there thinking for a while.

But before Chen Ming could figure anything out, someone looking exactly like him suddenly emerged from behind this wrecked mountain.

His eyes were full of desire, seemingly wanting to take his place.

If Chen Ming had not seen from a distance that this person-like thing had transformed from a plump white worm-like gigantic nerve,

And since the Maintenance Master Chen Ming from his memories had long been assimilated into the current Chen Ming through memory learning technology.

Chen Ming almost thought the Maintenance Master Chen Ming had come back from the dead.

So, facing this creature that looked just like him, Chen Ming hesitated for a moment and crushed it with the fully intact Iron Ore No. that suddenly appeared in the dream.

Chen Ming had no idea where Iron Ore No. came from or how he got onto Iron Ore No.

But somehow, he just did it.

And after he crushed it, the crushed flesh suddenly reverted to that plump nerve from earlier.

Although it was still in a crushed state, it moved like a living thing.

It decomposed into the smallest fragments, seeping through the armor of Iron Ore No. like some fluid, gradually sticking to Chen Ming.

It then started shrinking back to a normal-sized nerve, entering his body through the spot on his palm from where he used to transport materials over long distances with his ability.

Throughout this process, Chen Ming didn’t feel any pain or sense of danger.

The crushed nerve acted like a gentle dog, no longer possessing its man-eating demeanor from earlier.

When the nerve had entirely entered Chen Ming’s body,

The dream abruptly ended.

Chen Ming then opened his eyes.

Instinctively, he wanted to reach up and touch the part of his eye socket where the nerve had entered.

But as he moved, he realized that he was still lying on Dusk’s Spiritual Ability Device. While the restraints had been removed, he was still shackled by the device’s built-in cuffs, unable to move.

The dryness of his lips made Chen Ming aware that he had been unconscious for at least four hours.

Furthermore, all of his belongings that Dusk hadn’t examined carefully before were also taken away.
