Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 338: Chapter 128: Cloning Technology, Chen Ming’s Idea_3

But even if Dusk doesn’t make a mistake, Chen Ming will not just wait to die in place; he has already controlled the Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor.

As long as Dusk cannot deliver a second one, it’s impossible for him to have his Enlightenment Nerve extracted.

So at this time, Chen Ming said to Brilliant with complete ease, ”I understand. You just inform me then, and I’ll respond accordingly.”

It seems the final deadline for Chen Ming to stay here in Dusk is approaching.

If Dusk fails a second time, Chen Ming believes they might really kill him directly to prevent future troubles.

So whether for safety or any other consideration, Chen Ming must think about what happens once he leaves and the Dusk he controlled is exposed.

Throughout this period, it is unrealistic to control the entire Star Realm, but he can still make preparations to lay the foundation for the future.

Meanwhile, there are plenty of scattered issues that he needs to address.

Anyway, with Brilliant ensuring Chen Ming’s safety, there is no need to consider how to withdraw safely.

He just needs to consider what to do before leaving Dusk’s territory and after leaving.

Oh, Chen Ming almost forgot something. He needs Gamma Z to temporarily pause what it’s doing; there’s no need to insist on controlling a new Alpha Level Dusk in a short time.

Compared to an Alpha Level Dusk and a Cruiser, hiding himself and not getting exposed is more important.

After quickly notifying Gamma Z about this, Chen Ming considered the various things he had to do next.

Before preparing for some major actions, it is best to first finish the scattered minor tasks.

For instance, during the period when he stays at the research facility, what should he do?

With Dusk like this, Chen Ming definitely can’t continue to work for Dusk, instead, Dusk would take care of him because of the Enlightenment Nerve.

In that case, Chen Ming plans to use Dusk’s mentality to continue learning from them.

It’s essentially acting as if he’s given up and has no intention to escape.

After all, the last attack from the humans was real, even if Dusk suspects that humans will come again, Chen Ming’s behavior is understandable.

Additionally, Chen Ming has to get his things back.

Although he just saw two terminals and his modified pistol in his room.

But the Delusion Stone and Whispering Stone, as well as the Mind Fluctuation Generator, are not here.

Since the Delusion Stone resonated with him earlier, Chen Ming could always sense its position — it’s underground in the research facility.

If he can’t retrieve it by then, Chen Ming will just take it by force.

Now that his ability to control machines is no longer limited by the spaceship, he can control the research facility if he wants to.

However, the issues that need to be addressed after controlling the research facility prevent him from acting right now; it’s best to wait until the last few days to prepare everything before officially implementing it.

Besides handling some trivial matters himself, there are also tasks that Brilliant can consider arranging.

Since Brilliant willingly came to surrender, Chen Ming would feel bad if he didn’t assign a few tasks to it.

Moreover, Brilliant’s current standing task is just to chat with Chen Ming, apart from the usual need to manage the star system, it should be quite idle.

Working in cooperation with Gamma Z later, they can surely completely control the star system it manages within a week.

Currently, what Chen Ming totally controls are two and a half star systems plus a bunch of other star systems with shallow control.

The half star system refers to the one where Gamma Z had visited before, at the border between Dusk and the Mechanical Race, an industrial and military half-planetary system.

Due to its militarized administration, the defenses everywhere are very tight, which is why Chen Ming’s controlled Dusk can’t expand rapidly there, it only counts as half.

So the forces Chen Ming holds aren’t quite enough in front of all of Dusk.

In addition, the star system currently managed by Brilliant is basically also an industrial star system, so Chen Ming does not expect to really have a direct conflict with Dusk.

As long as the plan he envisions can be partially completed when he retreats, it won’t be considered a loss.

As for the specific content of the plan, Chen Ming still needs to think carefully before finalizing the details.

In the star system controlled by Brilliant, there are a total of four colonies located on different planets, with the main industrial facilities being mostly in the heavy industry direction.

Although they are the most common industrial colonies, there is a special one on a gas giant in the star system.

This is a floating colony primarily using magnetic fields, supplemented by the environmental effects of the gas planet and its own engines, hovering on the surface of the gas giant.

It collects various valuable gaseous materials on the planet’s surface and also occasionally prepares specialized extraction devices to be deployed into the gas giant, delving deep to extract high-value gases inside.

The majority of these gases extracted from gas giants are the raw materials crucial for spacecraft fuel.

It’s said to be the pillar industry of the whole star system.

However, the focus isn’t on this but on the equipment on the colony.

Colonies and industrial facilities that can operate on the surface of gas giants can be said to far exceed the value of other land planetary industrial facilities of the same volume.

If they can all be taken away, the profits would be truly unimaginable.
