Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 37 Whispers
While the spaceship is flying into space.

Chen Ming picked up the cutting tool, removed the electromagnetic javelin from another combat machine, and replaced it with the weapon on the starboard side of the spacecraft.

Although the durability of this electromagnetic javelin is also very low, Chen Ming has not repaired it for the time being, otherwise he always feels that he may faint at any time.

So after placing the two replaced 22mm cannons on the shelves in the storage compartment, Chen Ming turned around and continued cutting up the remaining things on the mechanical race.

In addition to the two type I mechanical clan electromagnetic javelins, these three mechanical clans also have a large amount of armor that can be disassembled.

These armors are all made of solid dolomite steel.

As long as the removed armor is thrown into the spacecraft furnace, the remaining computer will help Chen Ming take care of it.

After working for a while, Chen Ming removed a total of 627 kilograms of armor from the three robots.

After these armors are smelted, the amount of white cloud steel ingots produced will be less than this amount.

But it will be enough for Chen Ming to maintain the electromagnetic javelin in the future.

This Baiyun Steel is the second high-grade metal material that Chen Ming obtained after Sky Steel. It will definitely provide a lot of convenience for Chen Ming's development in the human world in the future.

But Chen Ming thought that after smelting the Sky Steel he had worked so hard to collect, he only produced five ingots, not even 50 kilograms in total.

Compare this to the fact that now that I have eliminated three mechanical clans, I have obtained a full 01 kilograms of Baiyun Steel. The difference is not 30:[-] points.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming always felt that there was something wrong with his mentality.

Even if Baiyun Steel has the lowest price among all high-end metal materials in his own impression, Chen Ming now knows the reason for the low price.

But this does not prevent Chen Ming from now being filled with the idea of ​​looking for the mechanical race elsewhere on the planet.

As long as one is killed, another two hundred kilograms of white cloud steel will be earned.

Isn’t it faster than working hard and spending a long time collecting minerals in the high-density asteroid belt?

However, Chen Ming finally restrained his thoughts.

Don't forget that what you have to do is to get enough food and get out of here.

Chen Ming obtained high-grade metal minerals just to get the first pot of gold when he went to the pirate space station. Having the first pot of gold would facilitate subsequent development.

So far, Chen Ming's Sky Steel and Baiyun Steel are enough.

Any more and you may attract some bad people or things.

What's more, even if you have the idea of ​​​​finding trouble with the mechanical tribe, where should you go to find it?Can you find it?

Could the time spent halfway be used on other things to gain more?

These questions are all unknown.

So the idea of ​​finding a mechanical tribe was just an idea.

The outer armor of the three mechanical clans was removed.

Chen Ming randomly selected a combat machine and continued inside to dismantle its structural layers.

The main material of the mechanical family's structural layer is dolomite steel mixed with ordinary steel materials. Chen Ming will throw these things into the furnace together with the mechanical family's armor.

And inside the structural layer is the core structure of the mechanical family.

According to Chen Ming's observation, the mechanical clan has two cores.

One is a chip located on their head that is connected to a large number of wires.

The other is a spherical mechanical creation located in the middle of the mechanical race's torso, corresponding to the position of the human heart.

There may be data or something similar to an AI personality inside the chip. Chen Ming plans to keep it for now to see if there is a chance to figure out its value later.

However, Chen Ming, another spherical mechanical creation, was completely confused about its effect.

Maybe it's the control center of the machine clan?Or a generator?Energy supply?

Chen Ming couldn't figure it out, and finally decided to just dismantle it, and then use a terminal to record the entire disassembly process, which might be useful in the future.

In short, at the end, the entire machine family, except for the chip, was disassembled into the most basic materials by Chen Ming.

Stacked in the corner of the storage room.Chen Ming, the other two mechanical clans, also followed suit, and soon the bodies of the three complete mechanical clans disappeared into the storage compartment.

All that is left are those materials that have been sorted and stacked according to material type.

Chen Ming had to say that there were quite a lot of precious metals such as gold and silver in the core structure of the machine race.

It makes up for a large part of Chen Ming's previous consumption of overloaded power grid modification.

As the three mechanical clans were completely dismantled.

Then came the highlight, the remains of the psychic pulse generator.

This equipment exploded before, and Chen Ming picked up four large pieces of debris from the spacecraft, as well as some other bits and pieces.

Chen Ming checked those bits and pieces directly on the panel. They were all garbage and would be discharged directly from the spacecraft together with the slag.

But there might be something good in these big pieces of debris.

Chen Ming picked up the cutting tool and prepared to work on these pieces of debris.

But at this moment, Xiaoshi, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly jumped off Chen Ming's shoulder.

Curious, he moved closer to the wreckage and kept sniffing something.

Before Chen Ming could react, Xiao Shi stretched out his claws and tore open the burnt shell and got in.

Chen Ming did not stop it, but changed the angle and started cutting.

I plan to cut off the shell completely and see what the little rocks are doing when they get in.

As soon as Chen Ming made an incision, the small stone suddenly came out again.

In its arms it holds a round stone covered with twisted patterns.

But after Xiaoshi came out, he threw the stone on the floor and climbed up on Chen Ming's shoulder again.

He looked like he was sulking.

"Ok?"

Chen Ming looked at the small stone on his shoulder and didn't understand what was wrong with it.

Xiao Shi couldn't speak, and Chen Ming didn't know how to comfort him because of his sulking look.

After thinking about it, Chen Ming reached out and planned to pick up the stone on the ground.

However, as soon as Chen Ming's hand touched the stone, he immediately took it back as if he was electrocuted. At the same time, his expression became obviously worse.

Because the moment Chen Ming came into contact with the stone, an extremely irritating sound with no source suddenly sounded in Chen Ming's ears.

It's like...being affected by a psychic pulse.

Chen Ming frowned and opened the spacecraft panel, and the name of the stone was displayed on the storage compartment.

[Ectoplasm Stone (Whispers)]

This stone is what Chen Ming is looking for related to psychic abilities.

And it is probably the source of psychic pulses.

Chen Ming immediately ran to the captain's cabin and put on protective clothing.

Returned to the storage cabin again and tried to pick up the stone.

Although the irritating whispers were also ringing in Chen Ming's ears this time, the sounds this time were not as unbearable as Chen Ming's direct contact with the ectoplasmic stone just now.

However, Chen Ming also noticed that as the time he spent touching the spiritual stone increased, the whispers in his ears gradually became louder.

Chen Ming immediately picked up a box from the shelf next to him and threw the Whispering Stone into it.

The contact was broken and the whispers in his ears faded away.

Chen Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
