Chapter 1379 Changes_3

After all, the Insect Race really needs shields.

And the research progress of the Spiritual Shield project can be said to be quite ideal.

The principle of using spiritual energy to create passive gravity shields in the Plane Nightmare has been clarified, and the laboratory is attempting to replicate it.

With the spiritual energy theory technology exchanged from the Survivors some time ago, achieving actual results is just a matter of time.

Before long, a finished product of the Spiritual Shield Generator ready for testing should appear in Chen Ming’s hands.

With further optimization by his spiritual energy, the truly usable Spiritual Shield Generator technology will rapidly mature.

The Insect Queen will soon acquire this to be used for the shield generation of the Insect Race Fleet.

Although the spiritual energy of the Insect Queen strengthens the physical body, the results seen from the spiritual shield research group suggest that the effectiveness of the formed spiritual shield depends on the nature of the spiritual energy, rather than whether the spiritual energy has such a function, so there is no worry about its usability.

The Spiritual Shield Generator technology optimized by Chen Ming’s spiritual energy will also be returned by Chen Ming afterward.

He no longer hides this part of his optimization technology capability now.

Because now, at least within the Empire, no one can do anything to him.

He is essentially optimizing the technology he needs. As for some other advanced and valuable technologies, whether to optimize them or not,

he is indifferent.

The Empire cannot force him; they can only pamper him, waiting for him to voluntarily optimize technologies of little significance to him but valuable to the Empire.

He doesn’t mind casually optimizing a few things every day.

A few every day won’t take much of his time.

So after learning about Chen Ming’s attitude, the Empire even specifically set up a warehouse to prepare the technologies needing optimization for Chen Ming.

This, to some extent, also benefits Chen Ming, at least allowing him to discover some interesting things he’s never heard of.

It only shows that Chen Ming occasionally brings out surprises, coupled with the exchange of new technologies between the Empire and the Survivors, as well as the application of various self-developed technologies by the Empire.

The Empire is currently in what can be described as a technological boom era.

Whether it is the spiritual shield on Chen Ming’s side or spiritual ability technology elsewhere, especially the broader spiritual knowledge progress from the Fan Chao Research Institute, they are all advancing at lightning speed.

Moreover, all disciplines in which the Empire has exchanged technologies with the Survivors are making new progress, breaking past barriers.

In the near-complete war against the Mechanical Race, the Empire’s conquering steps have already spread across more than half of the Mechanical Race Star Realm, and the overall state of the Empire can be said to be very good.

At least it’s better than ever before.

Of course, this temporarily has nothing to do with Chen Ming; he just habitually lets his thoughts run wild, contemplating a myriad of things.

Currently, he is still discussing with the Minister of Spiritual Ability the matter of his sudden visit.

The Minister of Spiritual Ability also believed Chen Ming’s casual excuse of coming by, saying, “Old An has been keeping an eye on it, so you don’t have to worry too much about this matter.”

“To be honest, you’re really too busy, with things you need to do everywhere. I feel like you should find some time to rest and relax.”

Chen Ming immediately said, “I’m fine.”

“But I feel you can’t hold on anymore. I feel your spiritual energy hasn’t changed in a long time.”

“You are a Psychic, after all. Spiritual energy is the most important; using all your energy on other things, are you really okay?”

“Uh…”

In fact, Chen Ming’s spiritual energy has changed.

He has always been exploiting that crimson rift within his Consciousness Space to enter the Crimson Dimension and seize the power within.

Whether in the past six months or two months, he has never stopped.

As long as his condition is good, he will think about sneaking into the Crimson Dimension to steal something to improve himself.

He even encountered the eye that once peered outward from the rift through his continuous ventures into the Crimson Dimension.

Even now, upon encountering that eye, his Spiritual Power almost collapsed; fortunately, his portion of Phase Power came to his aid.

Afterwards, Chen Ming’s Spiritual Strength underwent a significant qualitative change, just like when he first entered the Crimson Dimension.

Perhaps next time there will be a different result when they meet.

But purely qualitative changes in Spiritual Power are not easily noticeable.

Moreover, most of the enhancements obtained by entering the Crimson Dimension are purely enhancements in spiritual energy knowledge.

Only in the spare moments of acquiring Crimson knowledge does Chen Ming go back to absorb a portion of Crimson Power to enhance that part of himself.

But he won’t easily mobilize Crimson Power, so it’s normal for others not to notice the change.

He is also very clear on where his bottleneck lies, so his behavior indeed seems like he’s indifferent to spiritual energy itself, caring about other things instead.

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”

Saying this, the head of the Spiritual Ability Department certainly wouldn’t say more: “Alright then, since you probably don’t need any advice from me, I’m getting back to being busy.”

“Wait.”

Just after turning around, the head of the Spiritual Ability Department suddenly stopped, took out a terminal, tapped it a few times, and sent a document to Chen Ming.

“Take a look at this.”

Chen Ming did not take out a terminal; his spiritual energy allowed him to directly see that what was sent by the head of the Spiritual Ability Department was a research proposal.

On the Plane Nightmare Space Station, there’s a research group wanting to borrow equipment not available on the space station to study the Plane Nightmare corpse.
