Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 708 - 213: Results and Invitation_3

"What I need..."

Chen Ming thought for a moment and felt like there really wasn’t anything.

During this time, Chen Ming had been in contact with Old Wu’s side, and new supplies had been purchased at cost through the connections Bai Quan had previously provided, greatly alleviating the funding issue.

The pressure on the spaceship wasn’t too great now, but wait, there seemed to be something.

Brilliant is already wrapping up the final steps before partially moving the first temporary base, and Radiant has also found a suitable location for a temporary base.

In a few days, the second extreme transition will begin.

When the time comes, Chen Ming’s main body will run along with the transition to avoid being discovered.

After all, he now has a fake body here with the Fourteenth Legion, so he doesn’t have to worry about being away from the Human World for too long and causing psychological issues.

So with two temporary bases operating simultaneously, the allocation of cruisers he has at hand seems a bit stretched after being distributed to two locations.

Though it’s certain that there is definitely a shortage of cruisers, the specific type of cruiser needed is still an issue.

Whether it’s the Ranger type like Radiant Extreme, or the protective type like Refraction Level, or even the Stardust Level that Chen Ming is most accustomed to, and even the Supreme Point that speeds up expansion, all depend on the situation.

However, what seems to be even more stretched thin is the Alpha Core.

In fact, Chen Ming thought about it, there’s another direction in terms of choosing material rewards for Psychics.

When Psychics in the army make contributions, they definitely get rewards, so what can they receive?

Chen Ming casually asked this question, and Bai Quan answered, "They can receive various spiritual materials that assist in training their Spiritual Power, materials for manufacturing Spiritual Weapons, or various devices and medicines specifically for Psychics, basically anything a Psychic might need."

Chen Ming selected something he was most interested in and asked, "Medicine?"

Bai Quan nodded and said, "The Artificial Enlightenment Nerve I gave you earlier is a type of medicine. You can use your imagination, or directly accompany me to the hospital; there’s a small hospital specifically for Psychics where all these things are available."

Halfway through speaking, Bai Quan suddenly realized something was amiss and corrected himself, "Um... maybe it’s better to let the doctor come to you instead..."

Chen Ming didn’t respond to Bai Quan’s words but was contemplating the pros and cons.

Seeing Chen Ming silent for a while, Bai Quan suddenly suggested, "Why not save it up for now? Merit won’t disappear, and the military merit level hasn’t even been determined yet."

"Use this time to understand more about the things you’re interested in, and then discuss it later?"

Bai Quan’s suggestion seemed to make sense.

So Chen Ming considered it and said, "Alright."

Bai Quan slightly sighed in relief and said, "Okay, I’ll arrange these things for you later."

"By the way, the last batch of Energy Crystals you provided has almost been used up. We need you to provide a new batch for testing."

Chen Ming immediately nodded and said, "Sure, I’ve been continuously producing outside during this time. How’s the progress of your research here?"

"Very good. Most research institutes that received the Energy Crystals have produced results in their storage equipment. It won’t be long before large-scale testing can begin like with the Antimatter Engines." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Your Energy Crystal manufactured equipment will soon appear on the frontline ships, just can your production meet the demand?"

"You don’t plan on placing them so close to the Empire, do you?"

Chen Ming did not deny it and said, "I really don’t intend to, however, I’ve found a temporary base very close to the Empire’s border."

"I’ve built a factory and a farm there to breed Energy Crystal Crabs and obtain the shells."

"Then there’s no problem."

Bai Quan said with some amazement, "It’s truly the first time I’ve seen a hermit crab that produces Energy Crystals."

"The combination of Energy Crystals and Antimatter Engines makes it feel like all ships might soon undergo an upgrade."

"With the relaxed Energy System restrictions, perhaps the Armor Piercing types designed by Sinda Corporation, capable of fitting large weapons on a Destroyer, might become mainstream in the future."

Chen Ming offhandedly remarked, "Back to the age of battleships, right?"

Bai Quan chuckled, saying, "A very retro perspective, but it seems about right; caliber is justice."

After finishing their official business, Chen Ming and Bai Quan engaged in some casual conversation before he began his usual morning instruction.

By noon, Bai Quan left on time.

The instructor for the afternoon would come to take over in an hour or two.

So after organizing the morning’s study materials, Chen Ming planned to go out for lunch.

After dozens of people arrived at the dome, Bai Quan quickly arranged logistics and security for Chen Ming’s side too.

Though there’s no difference if there’s security or not, the logistics are quite important.

No need for Chen Ming to cook for himself, he could just go to the cafeteria to eat.

Bai Quan also gave Chen Ming a card, saying it was for research funding with five hundred million that would be regularly deposited monthly, urging him to use it for research as much as possible.

Since the basic infrastructure of the dome was completed in the past few days, and most of the equipment Chen Ming needed had been delivered, unless there was a specific task for Chen Ming requiring certain equipment the Fourteenth Legion would directly provide.

Otherwise, if new equipment was needed, Chen Ming would have to buy it himself, and the task of paying the researchers also fell on Chen Ming.
