Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 232 Gambling Agreement

The researcher who was suspected of being a psyker looked apologetic towards Chen Ming.

After questioning Chen Ming, he said: "If you have read my document, you should be able to see that the document I wrote is basically data based on the extreme exercise efficiency of normal psychic energy. "

"I have heard that you are a member of the Psychic Association. You may not understand some of the contents in the document, but you should be able to see that the estimated value of this document is far less than your current total mental power and spiritual power. Recovery speed.”

"I hope you can give some reasonable explanations through the evidence of the theoretical upper limit recorded in my document."

The researcher spoke politely, but Chen Ming did not want to speak politely now: "You want a reasonable explanation? Then I think there is something wrong with what you wrote."

The researcher was not angry. Instead, he said to Chen Ming, "What's the problem? I'm all ears."

"Basically there are problems."

The researcher's face suddenly became a little confused, but he still controlled himself and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Chen Ming, we all know that the psionic association emphasizes the natural development of psionic people. You should not know how to exercise your mental power. The systematic way is meditation, right?”

"Psychics who have not systematically practiced meditation can only exercise their psychic powers by using psychic energy to exhaust their mental power."

"And through this method of using psychic energy to consume mental power, once the mental power is consumed to about 20%, this excessive mental power loss will have some negative effects on consciousness."

"This will cause the human body's consciousness to become extremely tired for the rest of the day, and this state may continue the next day, leading to various situations such as confusion, difficulty in concentrating mental power, and difficulty in using spiritual energy."

"It may even cause the psyker's mental training efficiency to be close to zero the next day, and he must take a thorough rest to recover."

Chen Ming suddenly hesitated to speak because what the researcher said was different from his own experience.

However, the researcher looked like he was still planning to talk, so Chen Ming didn't say anything directly.

Waiting for the researcher to continue speaking: "Even before the rest of the day, I have relied on self-recovery or drugs and other stimulation to restore my mental power to the maximum value."

"But as long as the mental power drops to a very low level, you will still be tired the next day, and the effect of the second mental power-consuming exercise is far less than the first time. There is no way to enhance the exercise effect by repeatedly consuming mental power. Way."

"According to my calculation method, even if you consume 90% of your mental energy for exercise every day, the exercise effect will be optimal every day."

"At the same time, we don't look at the strength of psychic energy. We only look at the amount of mental power. Your mental power is not enough to reach this level."

"Not to mention the speed of mental power recovery required to restore such huge mental power."

"How do you explain these? What's wrong with these contents?"

"..."

Chen Ming did not reply immediately after the researcher finished speaking. Instead, he carefully recalled the time when he had just awakened his spiritual power and landed on Ruimu.

He seems to take the initiative to completely exhaust his mental energy before going to bed every day, even to the point of overflowing.

This kind of exercise efficiency alone seems to have exceeded the normal situation mentioned by this researcher.

So Chen Ming suddenly wanted to laugh, but he still restrained himself and said, "Wait a minute, I have a question to ask."

"The effect of exercise is not through meditation, but by directly consuming mental energy. I feel that the closer the consumed mental energy is to exhaustion, the better the effect will be, right?"

The researcher did not refuse to answer the question because of Chen Ming's attitude. Instead, he explained to Chen Ming: "That's true, but the extra exercise gained by continuing to consume the last 20% or so of mental energy is simply not worth the loss the next day. A full day of exercise efficiency”

"So even if someone uses this method instead of meditation to exercise mental power, generally no one will be greedy for the efficiency of this last bit of mental power training."

"At most, only some people with better talents who can withstand more mental energy consumption will choose to deliberately consume more mental energy to exercise, so I set it to 90% when calculating."

"That's it."

His patient answer made Chen Ming feel a little embarrassed, and his tone became a little calmer, no longer targeting the researcher that Lou Wei had hired.

"Then let me first correct the mistake I just made. Your content is fine for other people, but it is problematic for me."

"Please say."

Chen Ming organized his words a little and said, "That's it. Almost every day in the past, I completely exhausted my mental energy."

The researcher was silent for a long time before adding: "The complete exhaustion of mental power is not as simple as mental exhaustion, lack of concentration, and the inability to use psychic powers the next day."

"This situation will cause self-psychic shock in the brain, causing the psychic to fall into a coma."

"Depending on the amount and intensity of the overflowing mental power from using psychic energy when the mental power is exhausted, the duration of psychic coma ranges from a few minutes to a few days."

"If the coma lasts longer, it may cause damage to the spiritual nerves or even complete brain damage."

"You said you used up your mental energy every day. Are you sure you're not kidding?" Chen Ming said affirmatively: "No." "I just use up my mental energy before going to bed every day, and then I'll be knocked unconscious by the mental shock and sleep until the next day. This is quite convenient for me." "Because I didn't sleep well when I was surviving in the wilderness before, so I often do this." Cheng Xinghai suddenly said to Chen Ming in the private chat channel: "Did you take the mental shock as a sleeping pill?" Seeing that Chen Ming ignored her, Cheng Xinghai turned his head away with some boredom. The researcher sitting opposite Chen Ming asked Chen Ming in disbelief: "Does the mental shock have no effect on you?" "A little bit in the first few days, I was a little tired when I got up the next day, but it was fine after I got used to it." "By the way, I have a negative spiritual stone as an auxiliary for exercise. It may be because of this reason. Anyway, the mental shock is just like that for me." The researcher pushed his glasses and covered his facial expression with his hand. He had never heard of anyone who could get used to the mental shock by relying on a negative spiritual stone. Even a spiritual stone with a strong negative effect should not have such a performance.

But he had never seen any similar psychic of Chen Ming's psychic power before.

He could not directly conclude that Chen Ming could not do this.

Moreover, the peculiarities of psychic power have not been thoroughly studied until now. There were indeed some psychics who had done things that were absolutely impossible to do based on data alone.

After all, psychics are people who influence reality with their own will. As long as they think more, they may be able to do many seemingly impossible things.

Besides, he just came to help as a juror, not to offend anyone.

So now he simply agreed with Chen Ming's statement and said, "This is indeed something I didn't calculate. How strong is your spiritual stone?"

Chen Ming asked directly, "Why don't you let Lou Wei try it himself?"

"No need for this. Let me do it if there is a chance. Don't kill people."

The researcher's words confirmed his identity as a psychic.

"But the spirit stone and your training efficiency are not enough. Even if your training efficiency is twice that of others, there is still a big gap between the calculated gap and your actual mental power gap. Do you have other things to assist in spiritual training?" Chen Ming waved his hand and said, "Some things are inconvenient to talk about, but I can ask the president of the association to help me guarantee that I have things to assist in spiritual training. If you need it..." "No need for that." The researcher quickly refused. He didn't want to mess with someone he shouldn't mess with. Moreover, he could probably guess what Chen Ming had on him now. There were not many things that could assist in spiritual training. He could guess what Chen Ming had on him with a little screening. Combined with Chen Ming's most basic spiritual power effect that could control the spacecraft, it was most likely a ship spirit, and there was no need for people to verify it. Moreover, since Chen Ming's spiritual power could control the spacecraft, it was actually natural to create something like a ship spirit in a sense. The researcher did not dwell on whether Chen Ming had these things, and continued to ask other questions: "Can you roughly estimate how many times your extra mental power training efficiency is? Not counting the training through more mental power consumption."

"Not counting the training efficiency of mental power consumption? Let me think... at least five times."

Chen Ming's five times is still an underestimation. The mental power training efficiency provided by the ship spirit and two condensed spiritual energy sources around his body alone is more than five times.

And he can actually clearly feel that if he uses mental power for training many times a day, the effect of each training is not particularly attenuated.

And he also has a large number of individuals in two honeycomb thinking networks as assistance. This five times is not a conservative statement, but a leg-breaking statement.

The researcher asked Chen Ming in a confused and unbelievable voice: "Five times?"

"I'm just stating the facts, and I don't like to joke with strangers."

"But if it's five times... it seems to be a little short, right?"

Chen Ming said as if he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way, I have another thing to tell you, the Spiritual Enlightenment Nerve."

The researcher immediately responded: "I know you got one from General Bai Zhong and absorbed it, but I've added it to you."

"But you probably don't know that I also absorbed one from Yu Hui."

"Two?"

The researcher's face was a little surprised, and he asked: "Are you sure it's two? ? The time between the absorption of the chat and the awakening nerve should not be more than two months, right? Is there anything wrong with your mental power and mental state? "

"My mental power is very stable, and you should be able to see my mental state, right? I can absorb another awakening nerve now."

The researcher psychic was silent, calculating in his mind for a while, and then raised his head and asked Chen Ming: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there is another thing I am experimenting with that can increase my mental power and psychic strength, but it is not convenient to tell you."

"And even if I tell you, you may not understand it. This is a special effect of my psychic power."

"Stop, enough, this is enough. "

The researcher suddenly made a stop gesture, and then said to Lou Wei next to him: "If it is according to what Chen Ming said, his current mental power is indeed enough to reach this level, enough to control a colony, there is no problem, my calculation missed some things outside the specification."

"Of course, I can't confirm whether Chen Ming did it in the past as he said, whether he has these things, but this is not my responsibility."

The researcher nodded to Chen Ming, Lou Wei and Bai Quan, and retreated to the corner of the conference room.

He sat down casually, looking ready to watch the show.

The others also broke out into a small discussion again.

"That is to say, in theory, Chen Ming can really do it, so is his development potential higher than the president of the Psychic Society and Wu Anlai?"

"Lou Wei seems to have provoked the wrong person."

"It's not the wrong person. If he doesn't provoke him now, Chen Ming will definitely not just watch the conflict with Bai Quan later."

"There will be a good show to watch later."

Lou Wei next to him has been sweating on his forehead since the first sentence Chen Ming and the researcher said.

Especially after the psychic researcher had made it clear that he would not intervene in this matter, he was already sweating profusely.

However, when Chen Ming looked at him again, he suddenly thought of another excuse: "This kind of calculation is only data on paper after all, and there is no way to prove that Chen Ming really has the ability to do this."

Chen Ming asked back: "Then how do you want me to prove it?"

"The simplest way is to give you a test directly, and the result of the test is what it is."

Chen Ming directly hammered the table and questioned: "Who do you think you are? I will test you if you ask me to do it?"

Someone who knew about it immediately said: "Chen Ming is a psychic of the Psychic Society. The rules of psychics of the Psychic Society cannot be subject to any systematic inspection. You are really embarrassing him."

Seeing that Lou Wei wanted to speak, the person who just reminded him immediately added: "Unless you have the ability to make the president of the association change the rules, don't mention it."

Lou Wei was choked, but continued: "But he became a psychic How long has it been? A year? In a year, mental power can affect the entire colony? Who would believe it? "

Chen Ming was too lazy to talk to him properly at this time, and cursed directly: "What a joke, then I have one sentence now, who would believe that your mother is still alive? Where is the evidence?"

"You!"

"What do you mean by you? How about we make a bet? Just bet on your life!"

Pang Dong, who had been silent all the time, also came up to dissuade him at this time: "Hey, hey, hey, don't, don't say angry words."

While comforting Chen Ming, he said to Lou Wei: "Chen Ming will definitely not accept the specific physical examination and the test of psychic power. In fact, asking him to look at those special psychic data before is a bit beyond their limits. You certainly can't force others to do it."

As he said, he looked at Chen Ming again and asked: "But it should be okay to use psychic power directly on the spot, right?"

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Pang Dong was helping him.

"It's fine to use it directly. As long as it's not a test, I don't care."

Lou Wei didn't know what to do at this time. Someone proposed a method to verify the specific amount of Chen Ming's mental power. He said without thinking: "Then let him try it himself!"

Bai Quan suddenly questioned Lou Wei at this time: "You come to provide colonies for Chen Ming to test? Everything that Chen Ming's spiritual power has controlled belongs to his control. Do you have the capital to gamble with a colony?"

"And if you really want to test, then an industrial colony of the same scale as your simulation is not enough, right? One colony can't measure Chen Ming's spiritual energy recovery speed."

"If you can get two industrial colonies similar to the simulation for Chen Ming to test, if Chen Ming can't achieve the same effect as in the simulation in the same time as in the simulation, then I will admit that he is cheating."

"I will immediately handle this matter according to the rules of the 14th Legion. There are so many people watching me. I can't break my promise."

"Two colonies..."

When it came to the actual need to take out something, Lou Wei suddenly hesitated again. He hesitated and didn't dare to actually agree.

"Whoever questions, whoever provides evidence, whoever provides the environment for Chen Ming to prove himself, shouldn't anyone question others and ask them to prove themselves?"

Bai Quan's words once again put Lou Wei on edge. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay."

"What can you pay? Where can you get two industrial colonies as a major general?"

"I... have a friend I know..."

Chen Ming suddenly looked at a fool and said, "Does this friend you mentioned know that he is your friend?"

"Don't worry about it. I will send the galaxy coordinates to Bai Quan later. What if it is confirmed that you cheated in the end?"

Bai Quan immediately said for Chen Ming, "If Chen Ming cheated, I will naturally compensate you for the colonial buildings controlled by Chen Ming. If he didn't cheat, these two colonies are the price you must pay for questioning Chen Ming."

"Okay, that's it."

Bai Quan immediately drafted an agreement and placed it in front of Chen Ming and Lou Wei.

After Chen Ming decisively signed it, Lou Wei hesitated and signed it.

Although this is a simulated conference room infiltrated by deep consciousness, the agreement is still legally valid as long as it is not signed in an actual battle simulation with a set background.

As long as you sign it, no one can escape.

"Then the second thing is that you obtained the administrator rights of the simulated device through illegal means, stopped the official battle without any reason, and even cheated during the battle. You should bear the price of this immediately."

"The supervisory department has already given me a reply and will be at your door soon."

"Now there's one last thing."

"Your suspension of the simulation resulted in the loss of the research content of Chen Ming's institute."

Bai Quan put on the table a list of part of the funds flow of the Fourteenth Legion in the Galo Star Territory branch, including 500 million scientific research funds for Chen Ming's research institute.

"The scientific research funding for Chen Ming's research institute here is 500 million a month, and almost a month has passed in the simulation."

"Let's not talk about the content of the research. Let's talk about the time wasted and the energy spent. The money cannot be small, right?"

"I can provide research funds, and I can provide twice the lost month of time. There is precedent for this compensation plan, so don't bother me."

Bai Quan looked at Chen Ming, saw Chen Ming nodding, and then said to Lou Wei: "Very good, then let's talk about the synchrotron core."

"Wait a moment."

Lou Wei said quickly: "I don't recognize the synchrotron core matter now."

"I don't understand this. At least I have to wait until I find someone who understands this to talk about this matter."

Bai Quan didn't force him, and said, "Then I'll do what you said and give you a chance to find someone."

Lou Wei suddenly stood up from the conference table and said, "Okay, I will accept all the punishment I deserve unconditionally, but I also want to see Chen Ming get the punishment he deserves."

After speaking, his figure gradually faded into the conference room.

Before Lou Wei completely quit, Bai Quan said one last thing: "It's still undecided whether you cheated or not. Whether it's punishment or compensation depends on your efficiency."

After Lou Wei completely exited the simulation, no one in the conference room continued to speak for a while.

Bai Quan looked around and said, "It's over. I'm aborting this simulation."

The students and instructors each left one after another. It won't be long before everything that happened today will be spread throughout the Fourteenth Legion.

As the vision went dark again.

Chen Ming noticed that the acceleration in his thinking was gradually disappearing.

Soon, he opened his eyes in the freezer-like device where he had been lying before entering the simulation.

At this time, Chen Ming suddenly felt a feeling of emptiness, which gave him the idea of ​​​​diving into deep consciousness again.

He seems to have developed some dependence on consciousness acceleration.

Now Chen Ming knew why Cheng Xinghai said that deep consciousness penetration was limited to once a month.

If this is not restricted, it is likely to lead to people becoming addicted to drugs, and they can no longer live without this thing.

However, this was only Chen Ming's first deep consciousness dive. After he stopped accelerating his thinking, he quickly adapted to the feeling of slow thinking again.

And the main body adapts faster because of the lower acceleration rate.

Although he is a little mentally exhausted, Chen Ming usually maintains a good schedule, and occasionally staying up all night is no big deal.

And more importantly, although Chen Ming was not able to take away all the blocked information he had obtained from the simulation device.

But he still wrote down a part before the simulation was terminated. At least this part cannot be taken away by anyone.

And it included the design blueprint for the giant shipyard.

In other words, when Chen Ming's colony develops in the future and is capable of supporting the construction of giant shipyards, he will also be able to build his own capital ship.

Chen Ming straightened up slightly excitedly, and climbed out of the equipment after adjusting his mentality.

Just when Chen Ming was about to leave, a prompt sounded from the instrument behind him: "Please take away your physical condition monitoring report."

When Chen Ming turned around, he saw a piece of paper filled with content spit out from the side of the instrument.

Chen Ming put away the paper and walked out of the closed room.

Bai Quan happened to walk out of the next room at this time and greeted Chen Ming: "Good morning."

"morning."

"Would you like breakfast?"

"eat."
