Chapter 741: Chapter 222 Action Route_2
To Chen Ming, small ships are always just cannon fodder; when it truly comes to main force output, itās definitely the Cruiser.
But there are scenarios where having small ships as cannon fodder can lead to victory; without these small ships, Chen Ming might be able to fight more easily.
Song Pu had no objections to this; as a Psychic, Chen Ming naturally knows what fleet size is more suitable for him.
After speaking, Chen Ming received the star map file sent from Song Pu on his personal terminal, calculated the distance and transfer efficiency slightly, and asked Song Pu, "When exactly can we start?"
"Anytime is fine, the sooner the better."
Chen Ming thought for a moment, then said, "Then I can set out within today. If everything goes smoothly, I can cover all these places in one day."
Song Pu, hearing this exaggerated time estimation, immediately advised, "Thatās a bit too fast; the engineerās time in drafting blueprints isnāt as quick as you moving forward. Take it slow, and stick to the normal superspace navigation times."
"This is the engineerās plotted route, certainly coordinated with his working speed; if you go too fast, youāll just be there waiting and doing nothing."
Chen Ming felt Song Pu didnāt quite grasp his Spiritual Energy well, but he didnāt elaborate on matters related to Spiritual Energy.
Anyway, these things that can be seen with the naked eye will surely be gradually made compatible.
However, there was something he had to mention: "Does it take five days to complete the journey? Wouldnāt that be a bit slow? The practical application time after industrial building expansion might be too short, right?"
"I could actually warp over by myself and cover all these places directly."
Song Pu suddenly found Chen Mingās ambitions somewhat excessive, saying, "Later, each Industrial Colony will still have about half a monthās time for full production. A capacity doubled over half a month is already very ideal."
"My original plan was based on this; you donāt need to worry too much about the timeline."
"And although your idea is excellent, what about the burden on your Spiritual Power for doing this? Also, I recall the simulation equipment for Spiritual Power is still not perfected; are you really okay with this approach?"
Chen Ming responded with great confidence, "If there are assistive tools, although it would consume part of my Spiritual Power, I find this acceptable; my Spiritual Power recovery speed is quite good too."
"As for the issues with Spiritual Power in the simulation, Iāve already discussed this with the referee; Iām very aware of my Spiritual Power conditionāonce I hit the limit, Iāll stop using Spiritual Energy."
"This is merely a simulation; thereās no need to cheat."
Seeing this, Song Pu didnāt offer more opinions, "Letās go with what you said, but in the first two days, try to move a bit slower; the engineerās blueprint drafting speed probably isnāt that fast."
"No problem, inform me when acceleration is possible; I can change the speed anytime, surely the engineerās working speed is faster than mine, right?"
"Hmm, Iāll arrange for you accordingly."
Song Pu spoke while walking over to Chen Ming and patted him on the shoulder, "Thatās it then; our industry relies on you and the engineer."
"Donāt worry."
After speaking, Chen Mingās gaze suddenly swept over Cheng Xinghai, who was idle nearby.
Under Cheng Xinghaiās puzzled gaze, Chen Ming suddenly said to Song Pu, "I need to confirm somethingāhow much do you understand about my Spiritual Energy? How much do you think others understand about my Spiritual Energy?"
"Understanding your Spiritual Energy?"
"From my side, not muchāmost information is what you personally told me."
"According to the protective measures Vice Admiral Bai has taken regarding your information, the most one can normally learn is the basic effects of your Spiritual Energy; any further derivative effects are only known because you disclosed them."
"Or in other words, many people know that you and Vice Admiral Bai made a big move on Duskās turf, but no one knows exactly how it was done."
"But she may not be the same."
Chen Ming looked once again at Cheng Xinghai.
Actually, based on Cheng Xinghaiās performance from the last simulation battle with him, Bai Quan likely didnāt proactively tell Cheng Xinghai about his Spiritual Energy.
Moreover, since this large-scale simulated battle has Bai Quan brought in as a referee, Cheng Xinghai must have discussed this matter with Bai Quan in advance.
In a many-on-many situation, Bai Quan probably wouldnāt reveal his information.
So if Cheng Xinghai hasnāt done a detailed investigation on him, she might even know less than her teammates.
At most, she knows what her teammates know.
And when Chen Mingās gaze moved over, Cheng Xinghai showed a look as though she knew nothing at all.
Though Song Pu was somewhat suspicious, Chen Ming knew she most likely didnāt know much either.
Hence, Chen Ming simply shook his head slightly at Song Pu and said, "Itās nothing."
Song Pu didnāt speak further, returned to the desk, and asked Chen Ming, "When do you intend to set out?"
"Maybe in one or two hours? I looked up some information that interested me on my way here."
"The simulation setting seems quite similar to reality; I found out there appear to be several research institutes originally belonging to the Star Zone Military here."
"Moreover, since the Rebel Army originated from Galor-4, it seems like the people in this Star Zone are quite normalānot corrupted, with the research institutes still operating normally."
Song Pu hadnāt thought Chen Ming was following up on this in the simulation, slightly hesitated, and said, "Itās hard to summarize the time needed for research institutes to produce results, so I havenāt paid much attentionājust let them do their work. However, if you want to go to these places, I can issue a pass."
