Chapter 1118 - 317: Experiment
After collecting everything.
Chen Ming and He Gu returned to the surface.
He Gu glanced at the current time and asked, "Shall I take you around for a look next?"
"Although our research institute’s different labs usually work independently, occasionally, we have a few public project report meetings. There’s one happening nearby today, would you like to attend?"
"The topic is about the changes in the Mechanical Race compared to the past, based on recent reconnaissance results from the frontline."
"Sure."
Although Chen Ming couldn’t grasp too much detailed information about spiritual energy, he could certainly learn more about the Mechanical Race, which would definitely help him in his future work.
So he agreed decisively and boarded He Gu’s shuttle boat once more.
After boarding the shuttle boat.
He Gu suddenly sent Chen Ming a report list of all the ongoing research projects at the Spiritual Ability Research Institute.
"I just got this. The list is relatively confidential, so it took me a bit of time to get it out. See if there’s any project you’re particularly interested in?"
Since Chen Ming was personally granted the status of honorary member by the Legion Commander, it was previously mentioned that Chen Ming could freely join any research group, as long as he wasn’t doing anything purely destructive.
But previously, Chen Ming had no understanding of the Spiritual Ability Research Institute, and joining any research group was out of the question since he didn’t know who was doing what.
With this list, a lot of things would become much more convenient.
Chen Ming’s eyes scanned the list.
Even though he could only see the titles of these projects, he could roughly guess the direction of the research.
Among these projects, there were indeed several that interested Chen Ming.
After a dozen minutes.
The shuttle boat approached the destination and was about to land.
Chen Ming had also finished reading the entire list of research projects at the Spiritual Ability Research Institute and turned off the terminal.
Taking advantage of this moment, He Gu asked, "So? Did anything catch your interest?"
He Gu was concerned about Chen Ming’s thoughts because if Chen Ming was interested in a particular research, he would surely stay for a while.
And Chen Ming staying would definitely be beneficial for the Spiritual Ability Research Institute.
However, He Gu undoubtedly hoped that Chen Ming could stay permanently.
But Chen Ming had already made up his mind that unless there were significant circumstances, he wouldn’t change his decision lightly.
So he directly gave He Gu an answer: "I can stay temporarily."
"Because there are indeed a couple of projects that particularly interest me, one is ’Development of Anti-Mechanical Race Weapons and Research on Anti-Mechanical Race Warfare Techniques,’ and the other is ’Artificial Spiritual Awakening Neural Specialization Cultivation Plan.’
"But once the war starts, I must return to the division."
This answer was acceptable to He Gu, but being a bit greedy, He Gu asked, "Can’t you stay longer?"
"I need to go to the frontline."
"That’s a pity."
He Gu initially wanted to try persuading Chen Ming to move his Extraordinary Research Institute over as well.
But seeing it seemed hopeless, he didn’t mention it.
Chen Ming, on the other hand, didn’t intend to let He Gu down too much. He added, "Don’t worry, I’ll be prepared with the proper methods. After I leave, my robots will continue to work here. Doing two things at once is quite simple for me."
With Chen Ming’s assurance, He Gu seemed much more at ease and, after bringing Chen Ming to the site of the project report meeting, got in touch with the two project groups Chen Ming had expressed interest in.
All that was needed was to register Chen Ming into the project group lists, and then he could participate in these two projects.
However, both projects were currently in the early experimental stages.
The project group members had mostly moved to laboratories outside the main city, which was a bit far.
But fortunately, with the shuttle boat, Chen Ming, during his days at headquarters, had obtained a shuttle boat license and photos, gaining the permission to move freely on the planet, so there wasn’t any issue.
After finishing matters for Chen Ming.
He Gu returned to the project report meeting hall and sat next to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming merely felt that this moment was somewhat familiar.
The last time, after sitting in the report hall with He Gu, he piloted a cruiser to capture more than a dozen people and caused a major event.
This time... shouldn’t lead to anything happening... right?
Chen Ming didn’t know but hoped it wouldn’t.
After He Gu sat down, he glanced at the stage, which seemed to still be in preparation.
Thus, he casually chatted with Chen Ming: "You finished reading the project list earlier, right? Do you have any views on my project?"
Although He Gu asked for Chen Ming’s views, Chen Ming knew he was actually asking if he had any ideas.
And for Chen Ming.
"Your project, on the civilian use of spiritual ability technology, I think it’s quite promising."
"The extensive development of spiritual energy must be accompanied by its widespread adoption, but the Empire currently doesn’t seem to have the foundation for spiritual energy adoption, so I don’t plan to pursue this direction for now."
He Gu’s invitation was mainly due to Chen Ming’s Purgatory Core and Synchronous Accelerator Core research having tendencies towards civilian use.
But that was because they were inherently designed that way, so Chen Ming chose to decline.
He was already too busy with his own matters and really didn’t have the time to help others with things he originally didn’t want to handle.
Chen Ming’s refusal wasn’t unexpected to He Gu.
Most Psychics were too busy enhancing themselves to consider the civilian use of spiritual ability technology direction.
