Chapter 740: Chapter 222: Action Route
Cheng Xinghai looked at the cuff on his wrist and noticed that Chen Ming also had something similar on his wrist, and asked, "Whatâs this for?"
"Itâs an extension of my Spiritual Power; you can probably imagine its effects."
"Is it to restrain me?"
Chen Ming nodded, placing his hand on the handle of the wheelchair and said, "Alright, itâs time to go."
Cheng Xinghai slightly waved his right wrist, and said, "Havenât you already put restraints on me? Instead of just throwing me into prison or finding somewhere to detain me, where are we going?"
"Even with this thing, I donât feel secure; after all, youâre a Psychic. Letting you out alone is too dangerous. I have to keep an eye on you."
Cheng Xinghai asked curiously, "Iâm just a Psychic with mental enhancement abilities, why do you think I can escape even if Iâm disabled?"
A flash in Chen Mingâs mind recalled the moment when Cheng Xinghai almost kicked him to death on a civilian passenger ship, and he replied casually, "Well, Iâm just a Psychic who can make ships autopilot and knows some maintenance skills."
"And Iâve heard a saying."
"What saying?"
"When you understand that support-type Psychics are not without combat power, youâre at least getting started in the realm of Psychics."
"Your physical fitness shouldnât just be from training, right? A brain enhanced with mental power guiding your body to break limits and perform extraordinary actions is quite normal."
Cheng Xinghai blinked, looked at Chen Mingâs face, then looked at the cuff on his hand, and said nothing.
Chen Ming didnât notice Cheng Xinghaiâs expression and just pushed Cheng Xinghai off the spaceship.
Toward the Rebel Headquarters to meet Song Pu.
After all, the terminal can only input text, so it can only be roughly described.
If conditions allow for a face-to-face conversation, itâs certainly better to meet in person.
When Chen Ming pushed open the door to Song Puâs office.
Song Pu glanced at the wheelchair-bound Cheng Xinghai, then at Chen Ming, said nothing more, and continued to operate on the computer in front of him.
Soon, a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of his desk.
It showed the Galo-4 Star Zone, the star chart of the Rebelâs actual control area.
In this star chart, coordinates of about twenty star systems were specially marked.
And there was a line on the star chart starting from the Rebelâs headquarters, which was where Chen Ming was currently located, connecting all these twenty star systems.
Song Pu came out from behind the desk, gestured for Chen Ming to take a closer look at this star chart, and said, "Iâve already mapped out the specific course of action for you."
"These connection points are the locations of our industrial colonies and important logistics centers. As long as you follow this line, you can connect with these places adequately."
"Afterward, all the things needed on the colonies can be conveniently controlled by you."
Chen Ming leaned close to the three-dimensional imaging, taking in the full situation of the Gallo-4 Star Realm, then said to Song Pu, "Actually, with a little trick, I might not even have to go to these places in person."
"But going once is fine too. I feel that instead of getting help from other things, itâs more efficient for me to handle it myself."
Song Pu, who understood Chen Ming, knew what little tricks Chen Ming was referring to, so he proposed to Chen Ming that he himself should personally go, after considering his options.
"Iâve already prepared a Cruiser for you at the port."
Chen Ming recalled landing, and indeed there was a Ruler parked at the port.
Chen Ming found the Ruler ship acceptable, but he still tried to ask, "Is there a Stardust?"
"Stardust Level... This thing hasnât been developed at this point in the simulation; itâll take another year."
"Alright, then a Ruler it is."
Song Pu nodded slightly and continued, "Later, if you pass by the Generalâs side, you can go there. Itâs best if all of our fleets are under your control."
"No problem."
Currently, Chen Ming can control only seven Cruisers.
But these seven Cruisers were his limit for full control and real-time management of ships.
If itâs just using Spiritual Energy to maintain contact, then the number could be more. Itâs just that he currently isnât sure of the practical upper limit of the number of ships he can manage.
So Chen Ming wasnât worried about running out of Spiritual Power to control those ships.
However, Chen Ming had another question: "What about the fleet here?"
At present, Chen Ming didnât see Song Pu intending for him to control the headquartersâ fleet.
Song Pu explained: "The main fleet here is on standby for emergencies at the frontline, and itâs not urgent for you to control it. Youâre better off managing other places first."
"Also, controlling an entire fleet is likely strenuous on your Spiritual Power, isnât it? Itâs best to use it for industrial facilities right now."
"I see."
Chen Ming readily stated: "For me, the consumption of Spiritual Power is actually manageable, but fine, I have no objections. Weâll follow your plan."
Song Pu was pleased to see Chen Ming making decisions that aligned more with the collective interest, and said with a smile, "Alright, how many small ships do you need? As your escort fleet."
"No need for small ships; just having one big ship is more suitable for me."
