Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 741: Chapter 222 Action Route_2

To Chen Ming, small ships are always just cannon fodder; when it truly comes to main force output, it’s definitely the Cruiser.

But there are scenarios where having small ships as cannon fodder can lead to victory; without these small ships, Chen Ming might be able to fight more easily.

Song Pu had no objections to this; as a Psychic, Chen Ming naturally knows what fleet size is more suitable for him.

After speaking, Chen Ming received the star map file sent from Song Pu on his personal terminal, calculated the distance and transfer efficiency slightly, and asked Song Pu, ”When exactly can we start?”

”Anytime is fine, the sooner the better.”

Chen Ming thought for a moment, then said, ”Then I can set out within today. If everything goes smoothly, I can cover all these places in one day.”

Song Pu, hearing this exaggerated time estimation, immediately advised, ”That’s a bit too fast; the engineer’s time in drafting blueprints isn’t as quick as you moving forward. Take it slow, and stick to the normal superspace navigation times.”

”This is the engineer’s plotted route, certainly coordinated with his working speed; if you go too fast, you’ll just be there waiting and doing nothing.”

Chen Ming felt Song Pu didn’t quite grasp his Spiritual Energy well, but he didn’t elaborate on matters related to Spiritual Energy.

Anyway, these things that can be seen with the naked eye will surely be gradually made compatible.

However, there was something he had to mention: ”Does it take five days to complete the journey? Wouldn’t that be a bit slow? The practical application time after industrial building expansion might be too short, right?”

”I could actually warp over by myself and cover all these places directly.”

Song Pu suddenly found Chen Ming’s ambitions somewhat excessive, saying, ”Later, each Industrial Colony will still have about half a month’s time for full production. A capacity doubled over half a month is already very ideal.”

”My original plan was based on this; you don’t need to worry too much about the timeline.”

”And although your idea is excellent, what about the burden on your Spiritual Power for doing this? Also, I recall the simulation equipment for Spiritual Power is still not perfected; are you really okay with this approach?”

Chen Ming responded with great confidence, ”If there are assistive tools, although it would consume part of my Spiritual Power, I find this acceptable; my Spiritual Power recovery speed is quite good too.”

”As for the issues with Spiritual Power in the simulation, I’ve already discussed this with the referee; I’m very aware of my Spiritual Power condition—once I hit the limit, I’ll stop using Spiritual Energy.”

”This is merely a simulation; there’s no need to cheat.”

Seeing this, Song Pu didn’t offer more opinions, ”Let’s go with what you said, but in the first two days, try to move a bit slower; the engineer’s blueprint drafting speed probably isn’t that fast.”

”No problem, inform me when acceleration is possible; I can change the speed anytime, surely the engineer’s working speed is faster than mine, right?”

”Hmm, I’ll arrange for you accordingly.”

Song Pu spoke while walking over to Chen Ming and patted him on the shoulder, ”That’s it then; our industry relies on you and the engineer.”

”Don’t worry.”

After speaking, Chen Ming’s gaze suddenly swept over Cheng Xinghai, who was idle nearby.

Under Cheng Xinghai’s puzzled gaze, Chen Ming suddenly said to Song Pu, ”I need to confirm something—how much do you understand about my Spiritual Energy? How much do you think others understand about my Spiritual Energy?”

”Understanding your Spiritual Energy?”

”From my side, not much—most information is what you personally told me.”

”According to the protective measures Vice Admiral Bai has taken regarding your information, the most one can normally learn is the basic effects of your Spiritual Energy; any further derivative effects are only known because you disclosed them.”

”Or in other words, many people know that you and Vice Admiral Bai made a big move on Dusk’s turf, but no one knows exactly how it was done.”

”But she may not be the same.”

Chen Ming looked once again at Cheng Xinghai.

Actually, based on Cheng Xinghai’s performance from the last simulation battle with him, Bai Quan likely didn’t proactively tell Cheng Xinghai about his Spiritual Energy.

Moreover, since this large-scale simulated battle has Bai Quan brought in as a referee, Cheng Xinghai must have discussed this matter with Bai Quan in advance.

In a many-on-many situation, Bai Quan probably wouldn’t reveal his information.

So if Cheng Xinghai hasn’t done a detailed investigation on him, she might even know less than her teammates.

At most, she knows what her teammates know.

And when Chen Ming’s gaze moved over, Cheng Xinghai showed a look as though she knew nothing at all.

Though Song Pu was somewhat suspicious, Chen Ming knew she most likely didn’t know much either.

Hence, Chen Ming simply shook his head slightly at Song Pu and said, ”It’s nothing.”

Song Pu didn’t speak further, returned to the desk, and asked Chen Ming, ”When do you intend to set out?”

”Maybe in one or two hours? I looked up some information that interested me on my way here.”

”The simulation setting seems quite similar to reality; I found out there appear to be several research institutes originally belonging to the Star Zone Military here.”

”Moreover, since the Rebel Army originated from Galor-4, it seems like the people in this Star Zone are quite normal—not corrupted, with the research institutes still operating normally.”

Song Pu hadn’t thought Chen Ming was following up on this in the simulation, slightly hesitated, and said, ”It’s hard to summarize the time needed for research institutes to produce results, so I haven’t paid much attention—just let them do their work. However, if you want to go to these places, I can issue a pass.”
