Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 676: Chapter 205 Technical Test_3

The attention of everyone in the meeting room was instantly captured by what Chen Ming said.

Immediately, people in the meeting room started discussing this topic.

”Has there been such an assumption before?”

”Yes, but the Spiritual Devices of the Mechanical Race are mechanical and rigid, lacking spirituality. Furthermore, the Mechanical Race itself is the form of life most aligned with the term spirituality, so this proposal has never been widely accepted.”

At this point, Chen Ming did not continue speaking and listened quietly.

When the discussion in the meeting room had almost concluded and it quieted down,

Chen Ming continued speaking about his understanding and control of the Mechanical Race using spiritual energy.

It could be said that these researchers had an impressive understanding of the Mechanical Race’s structure and design, possibly the best in the entire Empire.

But in terms of understanding the essence of the Mechanical Race, no one could surpass him, who practically controlled the Mechanical Race and had built their Hive Mind Network.

The subsequent process of the meeting didn’t resemble the initial situation.

Besides occasionally sparking some small discussions, no one directly opposed what Chen Ming said.

After all, everyone present had more or less heard of Chen Ming, and no one could ensure that what Chen Ming said, though seemingly absurd at first, was certainly wrong.

And at this moment, Bai Quan, who was at the branch, shortly received a phone call.

Besides in the main meeting room, many people were also watching Chen Ming’s meeting; it was just that the meeting room allowed direct interaction with Chen Ming.

And the call Bai Quan received was an order from higher-ups.

Bai Quan walked to the meeting room’s door and glanced back at the screen, where Chen Ming was speaking eloquently, then turned to leave.

An hour later.

Chen Ming’s explanation of his understanding of the Mechanical Race was nearing its end, and Bai Quan returned to the scene.

Upon his return, he saw someone in the main meeting room asking Chen Ming, ”Mr. Chen Ming, could you personally come to the headquarters to demonstrate the changes after controlling the Mechanical Race? We have captured Mechanical Race samples for your use.”

Bai Quan was about to intervene and stop the conversation when Chen Ming had already replied, ”I need to stay in the Gallo Star Realm and can’t leave at will.”

The researcher who had just asked immediately said, ”We can bring the Mechanical Race samples to the Gallo Star Realm.”

Chen Ming didn’t explicitly refuse, only saying, ”I will consider it.”

”Thank you.”

The researcher thanked and immediately sat back down.

And Chen Ming spoke the final words: ”That’s all I have to say today. If there are any questions or opinions, you can approach Vice Admiral Bai Quan afterward.”

Then Chen Ming directly cut off the screen and sent a message to Bai Quan: ”I’m done here.”

”I saw it. You’re not really asking them to bring the Mechanical Race to the Gallo Star Realm, are you?”

Chen Ming immediately said, ”Of course, it’s just an excuse. I couldn’t publicly admit that I’m too lazy to help them demonstrate, right? Otherwise, we’d both be embarrassed.”

Chen Ming suddenly took a deep breath, relaxed his slightly tense emotions, and said, ”I’ve never spoken in front of so many people before; it was quite exhausting.”

”I think your performance didn’t seem like it was your first time.”

”Perhaps it’s talent.”

Chen Ming casually replied and said, ”That’s it for today. If you have time now, shall we continue? Yesterday I had another fight with Cheng Xinghai. Want to review it?”

Bai Quan thought about his tasks and said, ”Maybe not today, it’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”

”However, there’s no need to review yesterday’s fight with Cheng Xinghai because you didn’t really command it.”

”I think you should limit your spiritual energy a bit, or else these simulated battles hold no meaning.”

Chen Ming agreed, saying, ”I also think so. Let’s call it a day then, see you tomorrow.”

Just as Chen Ming was about to end the communication, Bai Quan stopped him and said, ”Wait a moment, some members of the think tank want to speak with you.”

”Alright.”

The one who had been the representative of the five people spoke to Chen Ming through the Fourteenth Legion’s communication channel: ”Mr. Chen Ming, we have a few questions we’d like to ask you.”

”Go ahead.”

”Are the Mechanical Race members controlled by spiritual energy entirely under your control?”

”Yes, as I mentioned in the meeting.”

”Do the members of the Mechanical Race you control still possess self-consciousness?”

”They do, but once any individual disconnects from their Hive Mind Network, they become very weak, with significantly reduced cognitive abilities, retaining only the most basic ability to follow orders.”

”One more question: Are you familiar with the Hive Mind Network of the Mechanical Race?”

”I only understand what I presented in the meeting. The Mechanical Race I control cannot return to the Hive Mind Network once disconnected.”

After asking Chen Ming three questions, the think tank representative immediately engaged in an urgent discussion with the others.

Then they turned back to Chen Ming and said, ”Mr. Chen Ming, we’re wondering if your spiritual energy could integrate the consciousness of these anomalous individual Mechanical Race members into a new Hive Mind Network centered around your spiritual energy?”

”?”

Chen Ming fell silent.

He didn’t quite know what to say.

Could this be the value of the think tank?

The representative continued speaking to Chen Ming, ”We don’t know much about your spiritual energy, but based on what you’ve said, your control of the Mechanical Race leads them to become anomalous individuals, unable to reconnect with the Mechanical Race’s Hive Mind Network. This point.”
