NFBE Chapter 256 An Wuping
Chapter 256 An Wuping
The dimensional infection incident related to Zuojia made Chen Ming feel the same fear as before when he encountered it.
But after calming down, he suddenly discovered that the fear didn't just bring fear to him.
While this fear was accompanying him, he also felt an inexplicable... excitement.
The excitement of being on the edge of danger gave Chen Ming some unspeakable feelings.
He seemed to be expecting something to happen.
Therefore, after returning to the branch, Chen Ming would immediately do serious things honestly.
I just want to give myself some time to calm down and take time to think after I calm down.
As a result, Chen Ming confirmed that this feeling was not an illusion, but his true feeling.
He pursues stability when he is in danger, but he really wants to pursue some excitement when he is stable.
Chen Ming felt a little conflicted.
From the beginning, he was clearly pursuing a stable life, but in the process of constantly encountering dangers and resolving them, he began to miss the feeling of being in danger.
As a result, the stable life he currently leads is a bit boring to him.
Moreover, in the process of thinking, Chen Ming discovered that his situation had actually appeared before.
Just like when the first temporary base was developed.
After the initial freshness has passed, all that is left is to look at the various survey data from the brilliant returns every day.
Chen Ming didn't even need to analyze the data himself. Huihuang had already processed all the valuable data when he took it out, and everything that needed to be done was done well. It didn't have anything to do with him at all.
Apart from general regulation, just looking at these data makes Chen Ming feel a little nauseous.
Only when he helped some afterglow individuals who encountered dangerous situations to escape from danger and repair the spacecraft, he could barely feel a sense of fun.
That's why Chen Ming took the initiative to develop prosthetic technology and allowed the prosthetic body to reach the 14th Army Corps.
And the Fourteenth Legion here is indeed more interesting than on the almost unchanged pioneering road.
Competing with nature, competing with the environment, and competing with people is definitely interesting.
But similarly, after the initial freshness, the branch of the Fourteenth Army gradually became boring.
Although some people are indeed targeting him and Bai Quan, the methods they can use are basically ordinary methods, which are reasonable at the political level, or simply some inconspicuous small methods.
Only that time with Hu Yi really made Chen Ming feel his adrenaline being stimulated and his whole body became excited.
Although Chen Ming didn't notice his emotions when he fought with Hu Yi before. At that time, all his attention was on the surrounding volcanoes and using his mental power to control the core of purgatory to fight against Hu Yi.
But now looking back at the past, Chen Ming found that he was indeed excited about this incident.
Of course, there was also the time later when the Black Mist Psyker sneaked into the ship and attempted an assassination attempt.
That time was an exception. After all, it was the first time Zuo Jing had brought out a psyker, and it was also Chen Ming's rare opportunity to confront a psyker head-on.
Speaking of confronting psykers head-on, Chen Ming suddenly remembered the last time he faced off against psykers, which was when he fought against Yan Xiong.
He played in person instead of using a prosthetic body.
The excitement at that time is still unforgettable for Chen Ming when he recalls it now.
Of course, Chen Ming is not someone who gets angry because of this kind of feeling. He has always been calm when doing things.
After all, if you really want to say it's boring, the prosthesis has classes with Bai Quan every day, and the main body still has to stare at the large amount of data transmitted back by Huihuang every day, and has to spend almost all of the day learning cruiser-level technology. That is even more boring, but He still persisted.
Chen Ming just prefers the method he is more willing to accept when it comes to some things that he can choose.
At this moment, dimensional infection may lead to unpredictable serious consequences, and serious consequences that no one can escape.
Chen Ming felt that he could participate.
It's not to satisfy his desire to take the initiative to find fault for himself because his life is so satisfying, it's simply to find something to do.
Although there are other things that can distract his attention to a certain extent, such as the reconnaissance mission Baiquan promised before and the upcoming war.
But a reconnaissance mission can only be completed in a few days at most, and war will also take time to come.
Even half a year may be considered a short time until the war officially begins, and it will take even longer for the actual war to begin.
Moreover, the recent death of Lou Wei caused Bai Quan to return to his headquarters, which indirectly caused the investigation mission that Chen Mingneng could participate in to at least wait until Bai Quan returned.
So after finishing all the things that Chen Ming left for him to do so that he could calm down and examine himself, his mind was instantly filled with this matter again.
Under the influence of these factors, the only thing Chen Ming can do now is to participate in this dimensional infection incident involving Zuo Jing.
Of course, Chen Ming still values his own life.
While it's fun to chase thrills, death is also a truly terrifying thing.
The danger level of dimensional infection is definitely one of the top two most terrifying things that Chen Ming has ever experienced.
The first place was when Chen Ming was almost killed by Yu Hui's tachyon spear on the pirate space station's space arm.
So now even if Chen Ming has this idea, he will not do anything personally.
However, if this matter is completely handed over to others to investigate, the efficiency, time and risk, as well as whether the news will be transmitted back in time, are all uncertain.
He must personally choose an indirect way to participate.
He only had one choice left.
Prosthesis.
Just before, the president made it clear that dimensional infection marks bodies that have experienced dimensional infection events.
This body determines the positioning of another dimension and establishes a connection with the other dimension, rather than a prosthesis with the same or different genes.
So in reality, as long as Chen Ming is not running around in his true form, even the prosthesis in the Fourteenth Legion can participate.
But this matter has something to do with Zuojia.
Chen Ming knew that although Zuo Jing wanted to get rid of him quickly, it was absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to trouble him when he had no chance, especially after killing a psyker.
Therefore, the involvement of prostheses may have the opposite effect.
Moreover, the prosthesis is currently restricted by the rules of the Fourteenth Legion. It cannot run around and needs to hang around in the Fourteenth Legion.
Therefore, both the body and the prosthesis are restricted in a sense.
But Chen Ming has another choice.
An Wuping was another hybrid creature between a prosthesis and a Zerg special combat unit that he had just created some time ago and sent to the empire.
An Wuping can also be regarded as one of his avatars.
It has the genes and flesh imitated by the insect queen, as well as the ferocious creature hidden under the flesh.
It is not impossible for such a guy to participate in this matter alone with Chen Ming quietly providing help behind his back.
An Wuping happens to appear everywhere in the empire, which can be regarded as a part of Chen Ming's arrangement.
But when talking about An Wuping, Chen Ming suddenly thought of something.
An Wuping is the product of a combination of a prosthesis made by the Queen of Bugs and a special combat unit of the Zerg.
The process of making prostheses seems to be somewhat similar to the process of cloning.
Moreover, the fake body created is actually no different from the clone created.
But the process of cloning can lead to dimensional infection, but nothing similar has ever happened in the process of making prostheses by the Queen of Worms.
Chen Ming had missed this point before, but it was only now that he suddenly realized the problem, so he immediately looked at the Queen of Eyes.
Then he suddenly realized that not only the manufacturing process of the prosthesis, but also the process of cultivating new Zerg individuals by the insect queen was actually problematic.
Chen Ming remembered that the insect queens in the past would lay eggs first when breeding new insect individuals.
After the eggs hatch into larvae, the queen will insert a relatively weak part of her own consciousness in the Zerg hive mind into the larvae, and develop with the larvae, thereby expanding the size of the entire population.
And before the eggs hatch. There should be no ordinary Zerg consciousness inside, and even within a certain period of time after the larva hatches, the larva itself should be a pure Zerg body.
Why didn't the beings from another dimension target the Worm Queen?
This question just appeared in Chen Ming's mind.
After devouring Chen Ming's condensed spiritual energy source, the insect queen, whose mental power had been completely linked to Chen Ming, suddenly came to a sense of consciousness and told Chen Ming the reason.
The insect queen will fill its own consciousness into the egg before hatching. The queen's consciousness will not be extracted until the new insect consciousness enters the hatched larvae and the fragile consciousness adapts to the larvae's body.
Therefore, there has never been a moment in the body of an individual Zerg, and there is no consciousness in the body.
And when Chen Ming continued to ask the insect queen the reason.
Chen Ming was a little surprised by the insect queen's answer, but if he thought about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable.
It's instinct, instinct tells the insect queen that it needs to do this.
Chen Ming continued to ask the insect queen if she had any memories related to this instinct.
There was a decisive feeling of denial from the Insect Queen.
Then this is kind of interesting.
In the process of hatching from insect eggs to larvae, regardless of the dimension of infection and other environmental conditions, there is absolutely no need for the queen's consciousness to exist in the eggs and larvae for protection.
But the instinct made the insect queen do this, and the meaning behind it seemed a bit intriguing.
Even now.
After the worm queen evolved after swallowing the psychic fungus, its reproduction method has changed from simple oviposition to oviposition plus the reproduction methods possessed by various fungi.
And compared with the changes in breeding methods, the technology of biological construction of larvae hatching tanks is almost mature, and larvae can be hatched automatically.
But Chen Ming discovered that even at this time, when the biological building hatches new Zerg larvae, the insect queen will still use her consciousness to control the biological building and instill part of her consciousness into these insect eggs and larvae.
It is ensured that during the entire process, there will be no gaps in consciousness among the individuals cultivated by the queen.
The same goes for the process of growing a prosthesis.
The insect queen filled it in with her own consciousness. When Chen Ming needed to cooperate with the experiment, she extracted its consciousness and let Chen Ming's consciousness enter the prosthesis.
Even if it was a prosthesis, it still had a certain consciousness of the Queen before Chen Ming controlled it.
Chen Ming tried to make the Queen not do this, not to use consciousness to protect the eggs.
But then, the Queen sent a very resistant response for the first time, but in the end it agreed to Chen Ming's request.
Of course, Chen Ming did not commit suicide and immediately withdrew his request.
Through what he had just said, he basically understood what the Queen's instinct was.
If the history of the Thorn Zerg of the Queen can be traced back, then basically according to the history of the Thorn Zerg species, it can be determined how many years ago the dimensional infection had occurred.
It's a pity that no more information can be obtained from the Queen for the time being.
The memory of the Zerg will be lost in the reproduction of the Queen from generation to generation. Chen Ming's memory of the Queen only has part of the first generation of the Queen, not all of it.
So if Chen Ming wants to know more, he must start with the first generation of the Queen.
But the first generation of the Queen has long gone to who knows where, and the probability of encountering it is lower than finding a needle in a haystack.
For the time being, I'll just ignore it.
At least it can be confirmed that the Queen of Zerg has never encountered similar problems of dimensional infection during the prosthetic experiment and the hatching of new Zerg.
And Chen Ming does not have to worry about the situation in the future that the Zerg will be affected by him, a witness of dimensional infection, and the dimensional infection will act on the Queen of Zerg.
Chen Ming recorded that the Queen of Zerg's instinct is to protect the Zerg body without consciousness during the cultivation process with her own consciousness.
Then he turned his attention back to An Wuping, who arrived in the empire not long ago.
An Wuping's mission has been determined from the beginning.
It is to help Chen Ming do something that he cannot do personally, or something that is inconvenient to do personally.
For example, kill someone from the enemy faction of the 14th Legion who he doesn't like.
For example, help Chen Ming run around in several star fields to find traces of Zuojing.
Before, Chen Ming left the location of the Zuojing stronghold from the illegitimate son of the lieutenant general in the two industrial colonies that now belong to him to An Wuping.
Chen Ming intends to let An Wuping handle matters related to Zuojing, so the current matter is the same.
However, it is not easy for An Wuping to go directly to Caimo-3. A person who appears inexplicably may even be targeted by his own people who are unaware of the situation at the first time.
Chen Ming does not want the president or the people arranged by the empire to target An Wuping, nor does he want to expose the fact that An Wuping is related to him.
So he must arrange it step by step and extend the logic of An Wuping's actions to the Caimo star field.
And everyone must know that An Wuping is a friend, not an enemy.
This requires a certain amount of preparation.
And the best preparation is Zuo Jing's body.
The location of the Zuo Jing stronghold, which Chen Ming deliberately concealed, is the only way for An Wuping to go next.
He has always been personally controlling and arranging everything about An Wuping, and it has been like this since the day it was manufactured.
When An Wuping was first manufactured, he directly sent An Wuping to the vicinity of the empire by spacecraft.
Before reaching the territory of the empire, An Wuping was directly stuffed into a large escape capsule that only activated the function of sending a distress signal but did not activate the freezing and hibernation function, and was thrown into space.
Anyway, An Wuping's physical strength is enough to enter the universe physically, so it won't be a big problem to do it directly.
Chen Ming also confirmed the traces of an active pirate fleet in the nearby star field through the news from Lao Wu in advance.
The distress signal naturally fell into the eyes of this pirate fleet.
Then Chen Ming directly controlled An Wuping to break into the flagship of this pirate fleet alone.
He killed almost all the pirates on the ship in a human form wearing a military power armor that can be stuffed into a large cryogenic hibernation chamber.
Only some surrendered pirates who had no bounty and could fly spaceships were left.
After relying on command technology to operate the strongest flagship to kill nearly half of the remaining pirate spaceships, the remaining pirates all chose to surrender.
An Wuping completely seized the command of the pirate fleet and took the disabled fleet to the nearest pirate space station.
Because he was going to enter the human society, Chen Ming had to be careful when playing An Wuping in front of most people.
In order to prevent An Wuping from being suspected in the future, Chen Ming must design everything about An Wuping in advance from the first step into the empire.
For example, the background story, personality and character setting.
The background story is easy to solve, anyway, there are many black households in the empire, so the background story is almost enough.
The personality setting should also be dark and crazy, and it is better to have some mental power-related diseases.
For example, Chen Ming recently learned about the diseases suffered by the animals that were affected by the mental pulse on Ruimu Star.
Rage.
Those animals suffered from acute rage, while An Wuping suffered from chronic.
Of course, it can also be random rage, depending on what Chen Ming needs to decide.
Such mental power diseases just fit the character setting of An Wuping who suddenly grew to three meters in size and turned into a ferocious monster.
Anyway, An Wuping's transformation will be exposed sooner or later, and because he can change back, it can be explained as psychic power at that time.
Therefore, we have planned this aspect in advance so that if someone traces Chen Ming's background in the future, there will be traces to follow.
Moreover, this kind of character design will also make it easier for Chen Ming to have An Wuping appear nearby when he wants to kill someone in the future, and then suddenly go crazy and kill the person.
After An Wuping led the pirate fleet to the nearby pirate space station, Chen Ming also asked An Wuping to get off the spaceship wearing power armor.
It shows that he owns a worn-out military power armor, which may have been stolen, captured, or originally belonged to him.
Therefore, the rumors spread by the pirates later were not outrageous. At least one person did not break into a mule and robbed the pirates with his body alone. No one had any unnecessary doubts about An Wuping.
And those brave pirates who were frightened by An Wuping wearing power armor and breaking into the spaceship alone and killing all those who dared to resist and the management also gave up to some extent some people who wanted to steal this suit. It was a good thing for ordinary pirates. Thoughts of things.
In short, An Wuping found a local snake and got a false identity under the leadership of several captured pirates.
And later sold all the spaceships and dismissed all the pirates.
Later, a heavily modified second-hand frigate that could be driven by one person was purchased at this pirate space station.
At the same time, he also bought a second-hand robot that had also been roughly modified and some supplies.
The remaining money was used by Chen Ming to eat and drink on the pirate space station.
One reason is to expand An Wuping's character and leave more traces on this pirate space station.
Another reason is that Chen Ming really wants to do this.
Of course, Chen Ming still didn't indulge as casually as Lao Wu, he still had a bottom line.
After spending almost all the money, Chen Ming controlled An Wuping and controlled the spacecraft to leave the pirate galaxy in the edge star field.
After killing a pirate fleet that wanted to cause trouble, Chen Ming went to the local government with the corpses of about half the pirates who were frozen in the cold storage of the spaceship and had bounties on their heads. bounty.
Although the bounties for these pirates are not high, the acquisition of these bounties also gives this false identity a layer of government protection.
This allowed An Wuping to stay in some colonies for a long time without being regarded as a pure gangster.
Chen Ming then continued to rely on this identity to go to an ordinary comprehensive colony in a nearby galaxy.
I spent a day finding a place to stay, and then spent a whole day stalking near the government department, targeting a person from the government department stationed in this galaxy.
After spending some time to knock people out, Chen Ming used the queen's ability to disguise An Wuping as a member of the government, stole his identity, and infiltrated the government department.
Using this identity, he hacked into the local government system and found the local people's identity system database.
Chen Ming has never been exposed to this system before, and now he knows that the identity system database is divided into two.
One is a database of local people from birth to death, while the other is a database of immigrants.
The migrant population database is also divided into two.
One is the one that can be connected through the database. There are relevant records such as birth certificates in other colonies, which means that people with such certificates will not be undercover or have false identities.
And those who cannot be proven through database connection in other regions, there is a high probability that they are fake identities, or at least people with problems.
An Wuping's identity is in this database.
