Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 583 - 182: The Past Week_2

Chen Ming doesn’t need to worry that these two Energy Crystal Crabs and the two eggs will lead to the breeding methods of Energy Crystal Crabs being leaked.

Dusk spent so long that he barely managed to stably cultivate Energy Crystal Crabs in an artificial environment.

It’s unlikely that the Empire, with just those two Energy Crystal Crabs and two eggs for research, could surpass Dusk in speed.

Even if it’s possible, for example, some biological research expert within the Empire might mass-breed Energy Crystal Crabs using cloning technology for research, they might indeed achieve results.

But Bai Quan will definitely help suppress this matter, absolutely not allowing others to gain deep understanding and acquire Energy Crystal Crab samples.

After all, Chen Ming needs to rely on the opportunity from Bai Quan’s Fourteenth Legion to expand the future spread of his colonial industry, so he definitely needs to give Bai Quan some benefits.

Bai Quan himself can gain profit from it, so why let others share a piece of the pie?

Rather, it’s possible that the Fourteenth Legion internally researches Energy Crystal Crab technology.

However, this would mean that Chen Ming and the Fourteenth Legion might have a conflict, and the relationship might deteriorate.

The interest of the Energy Crystal Crab versus the friendship with a Psychic.

Bai Quan will surely make a reasonable choice.

But that’s a matter for the future; the exact date of the promotion ceremony on Bai Quan’s side hasn’t been announced yet, and Chen Ming’s colony is still far off.

Everything will have to wait until later.

In short, apart from his morning command study at Bai Quan’s place,

Chen Ming’s afternoon learning of Cruiser technology is also rapidly advancing under the guidance of the Extraordinary.

At least for now, Chen Ming has no problem with the basic knowledge of Cruiser level.

Some basic modifications to break through the normal power grid limitations can be conducted at any time.

Chen Ming can only say he quite prefers this overclocking transformation learned from Zuo Jing, as his abilities can ensure safety after overclocking the ship.

So such transformations have almost no negative effects for Chen Ming.

Chen Ming even recently has Old Wu collecting information about Zuo Jing, preferably about their strange ship conversion technologies.

Although the doctrine of the Luder Zuo Jing group is extremely averse to technology, they ironically have decent development in destructive or extreme technologies.

Chen Ming can completely attempt to replicate it.

During the day, Chen Ming learns command and ship technology.

And every night, Chen Ming spends time studying biological technology.

Relying on his recent increased learning efficiency due to the growth in the number of Mechanical Race under his control, and the blurry memory of biology in his mind.

Chen Ming spent three days to completely grasp everything from elementary to high school level.

The remaining four days of the past week were spent learning some basic subjects needed for university-level biology technology, currently about a third of the way there.

Once he masters these university-level subjects, Chen Ming can further delve into the contents of biological technology.

Even, with its more exaggerated learning efficiency than Chen Ming, the Extraordinary quickly mastered more advanced biological technology.

Thus, it directly helped Chen Ming plan the path he should take in biology in the future.

It also helped him think about some biological technologies that Chen Ming must master in advance.

It’s the biological technology that allows Chen Ming to transfer the Insect Queen to his side anywhere he needs.

There are two of them.

One is the biomass coagulation block.

A solid material composed of high concentration biomass belonging to the Insect Race.

It’s used to nourish the Insect Queen after being transferred via the hive network, to cultivate the Insect Race.

It’s equivalent to an exclusive compressed biscuit for the Insect Queen.

The second one is Insect Glue.

This is the food of the Insect Race, and also the "fuel" of this kind of biological entity.

Normal Insect Race does not have a Rigid Digestion Pouch that can consume anything like the Insect Queen.

So ordinary Insect Race must eat normal food, animal corpses or all kinds of plants, or the Thorn Insect Race Insect Glue produced by a special nutrition insect within the Insect Race.

In other words, as long as Chen Ming can figure out these two technologies,

he can rely on these two abilities, and some of the Insect Queen’s body tissue,

to create an army of the Insect Race with sufficient combat capability anywhere.

As long as he can bring the Insect Queen’s consciousness to his side through the hive network and provide sufficient nutrition, the rest will be sorted out by the Insect Queen for Chen Ming.

So Chen Ming’s next step in biology is to only learn the knowledge points related to these two technologies, the rest will be set aside for the time being and figured out later.

One can only say the Insect Race is indeed a bit troublesome, after all they are biological, completely different from the Mechanical Race next door that could also have its consciousness transferred by Chen Ming via the hive network.

Although the Mechanical Race itself is indeed quite complex, especially the core chip, sub-core, and nanorobots which are key to maintaining the operation of the Mechanical Race.

Particularly the nanorobots.

Chen Ming’s technology is always moving towards macro technologies like Cruiser and Main Ship, the micro technology of nanorobots is something completely incomprehensible to him.

Fortunately, nanorobots are detachable components for the Mechanical Race as a whole, so Chen Ming doesn’t necessarily have to master nanorobot technology to manufacture the Mechanical Race.
