Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 39

Seeing the changes that took place in the bugs occupying the space station, Chen Ming's face inadvertently turned gloomy.

How long has it been?These bugs have evolved corresponding protection methods and coping methods based on previous encounters.

If we give them some more time and some pressure from the outside world, what will these bugs eventually become?
"It's terrifying."

As Chen Ming spoke, the gloomy look on his face suddenly disappeared.

Anyway, he is leaving soon. If everything goes well in the future, there is a high probability that he will not encounter these insects with incredible evolutionary capabilities.

No matter how fast they evolve, as long as they have not evolved the ability to fly in space for a long time, they will not threaten us.

While there were only a few cyst worms standing on the edge of the dock, they opened their mouths wide at the spacecraft.

Chen Ming directly controlled the spacecraft to avoid the scattered liquid sprays, and took advantage of the situation to increase the distance between it and the space station.

Besides, I didn't come here just to see the changes in the bugs or to see how powerful they were.

But here to test weapons.

In the past, I could easily clean up a large area of ​​bugs with an unmodified machine gun.

If we come here with the same bugs this time, it will be difficult to judge the effect of new weapons compared to old weapons.

These evolved bugs are simply the best targets for weapons experiments.

Just thinking about this, Chen Ming felt more and more that the abandonment of the space station exuded the atmosphere of conspiracy from beginning to end.

A space station owned by a company based in the dangerous fringe star field was abandoned overnight by a group of bugs that could kill a large area with civilian ship weapons.

However, Chen Ming's purpose was never to find out what happened on the space station, so this idea just passed through his mind and was thrown out.

Chen Ming continued to control the spacecraft to keep it on the same plane as the space station's dock.

At the same time, it continued to move the spacecraft away from the space station, and did not stop until it reached the range limit written on the electromagnetic javelin panel.

From this position, Chen Ming could see every move of the bugs on the space station through the spacecraft's high-precision camera.

The panel of the electromagnetic javelin says that it has a range of [-] meters. Whether it is accurate or not, let me confirm it for myself.

After aiming at the insect swarm in space that was about to disperse because the spacecraft was invisible to the naked eye.

Chen Ming couldn't wait to open fire.

The electromagnetic javelin on the port side shook slightly, and an electromagnetically accelerated bullet flew straight to the space station without any resistance in space.

At the same time, the dull hammering sound of the electromagnetic javelin firing spread along the hull to Chen Ming's ears, causing Chen Ming's heartbeat to almost skip a beat.

I didn't feel anything when I was shot by the machine race before, but when I controlled the electromagnetic javelin to shoot, I always felt that the hammering sound had an indescribable sense of power.

Moreover, the actual effect of this shooting did not disappoint Chen Ming at all. It can even be said to far exceed expectations.

As soon as the sound of firing reached Chen Ming's ears, Chen Ming saw that the electromagnetic bomb had hit the locked position.

Just one shot.

From the edge of the dock to the depths of the dock, at least dozens of stratopods were penetrated by this shot.

As long as they rub against a fatal part, these bugs will not even move, they will lose the breath of life and fall into the cold space.

Their evolved carapace was like paper in front of the electromagnetic javelin, failing to provide any protective effect.

The insects that were gradually dispersing seemed to have been pricked by needles. They suddenly became restless and kept waving in the direction of any possible enemies around them.

Obviously they don't make any sense.

Six seconds later.The second electromagnetic shot ejected from the chamber, once again piercing the insects that were almost huddled together in the dock.

There happened to be a few cyst worms among the dead bugs this time, and the vesicle of one cyst worm happened to be penetrated by the electromagnetic bomb.

A large amount of liquid overflowed from the vesicle and flowed to the ground.

The metal floor was instantly filled with small holes. Although the vacuum could not transmit sound, it still automatically made up the sound of acid corroding metal.

As the second batch of dozens of bugs died, the remaining bugs finally realized that the enemy was far away.

They all hid in the buildings of the surrounding space stations.

Although the electromagnetic javelin can shoot directly through the wall of the space station, the limited field of view makes Chen Ming not very good at aiming.

Since I have seen the effect of the new weapon just now, there is actually no need to continue.

Chen Ming refilled the electromagnetic javelin with bullets, drove the spacecraft back to the edge of the space station dock, and once again attracted the bugs hiding in the building.

Before the attack range of those cyst insects could reach him, Chen Ming drove the spacecraft and disappeared in front of the swarm of insects again.

The spacecraft did not fly directly to Ramu.

Instead, just like the last time I came here, I made a big circle after leaving the insect's sight and came to the edge of the living area of ​​the space station.

Chen Ming originally wanted to go to the power generation area to replenish some fuel, so he specifically chose the dock to attract bugs to conduct weapons experiments and attract bugs there.

But now when he arrived at the living area, Chen Ming discovered that it seemed that he had attracted many Zerg species last time.

The interior of the living area is already the same as that near the mining area, filled with all kinds of disgusting growths, and there are also many unhatched eggs mixed in.

There was absolutely no way to get off the ground, let alone get fuel.

Fortunately, the fuel Chen Ming prepared before leaving the space station for the first time was enough to last him for a long, long time.

I just came with the idea that if I don’t take it, I’ll see if I can get more.

But now that I know clearly that both the living area and the power generation area below are dangerous, I can just leave.

Chen Ming turned the ship's bow without hesitation and pointed it in the direction of Ruimu.

After a while.

Chen Ming once again stood on the solid ground of the temporary camp.

I picked up the tools and nutrient solution and started the task of caring for the crops that I should do every day.

After finishing, it was just approaching dusk in the temporary camp.

But at this time, Chen Ming felt that his head was already a ball of mush.

The fatigue accumulated from the continuous maintenance of the spacecraft all day came to his mind after he relaxed.

After a brief tidying up.

Chen Ming lay on the bed in the living cabin and rested peacefully for the first time.

Because until now, all the obstacles in front of my goal have been cleared, and all the difficulties have been solved.

Starting tomorrow, no more psychic pulses, no more crazy animals, everything will go back to normal.

Everything will proceed step by step.
