Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 716 - 215 Background Story_3

"No, I’m sure of it. I’ve already tried."

Bai Quan nodded with some surprise, noted this point down, and continued to ask, "Is there a limit to the scale of your spiritual energy control? Oh, there shouldn’t be."

Before Chen Ming could answer, Bai Quan suddenly remembered what they had previously investigated about things Chen Ming had done.

At least two star systems’ Dusk Colonies were directly moved and taken by Chen Ming; his spiritual energy didn’t seem to have any limits.

Chen Ming casually said, "Actually, there used to be a limit, but now..."

"Hmm, let’s skip this one. Next, what’s the limit of your spiritual energy in terms of repair capability?"

"I remember you said before that even if there was only one iron atom left, you could repair the ship back, and I believe that."

"However, how many times or how much damage can your spiritual power repair?"

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback by this question because he wasn’t sure himself now.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let me put it this way, when I was working with you to stir things up over at Dusk, I first stole Dusk’s belongings and ran away, and then collaborated with you for the subsequent tasks."

"Under those circumstances, to quickly transfer Dusk’s items, I used spiritual energy continuously for two days to repair the cruisers, enabling them to make multiple jumps."

"I can’t quite recall the exact number of times, but the total amount of spiritual power used to repair items wasn’t much."

"As long as my spiritual power isn’t completely depleted, and there’s material left, I can indefinitely repair everything under my control."

Upon hearing Chen Ming’s words, Bai Quan subconsciously started to think.

Even though Chen Ming clearly stated that the spiritual power consumption for maintenance wasn’t much, since Chen Ming also mentioned that controlling the main ship would cause him to faint directly, then continuously repairing the cruiser for two days...

"Can you withstand all this?"

Chen Ming answered somewhat ambiguously, "I have some good things for psychics that can help me with the use of spiritual energy."

Bai Quan nodded. He didn’t pursue the matter further, instead saying, "Speaking of such things, I asked the doctor for a list of medications you psychics can use earlier today. I’ll send it to you later; take a look when you have time."

"Alright."

"Hmm, let’s skip this one too. Spiritual power is something hard to define, I won’t impose restrictions on you. Do as you see fit."

Bai Quan still relatively trusted Chen Ming’s character.

"That’s acceptable, I guess. I’ll stop and wait to recover once I’ve used up my spiritual power to a certain extent. I’ll try my best to align with my actual circumstances."

"That’s for the best."

Bai Quan clicked a few more times on the terminal, then turned to Chen Ming, saying, "I think these are the important points. If you think of anything else missing, I can add it for you now."

Chen Ming thought for a moment and said, "During my previous confrontation with Cheng Xinghai, whenever the opponent’s ship touched my spaceship wreckage, it would get contaminated with materials under my control."

"I can destroy any ship contaminated with materials I control by using this method. How do you explain this?"

Bai Quan immediately recalled the scene last time when Cheng Xinghai’s fleet was forced into a direct confrontation after being one-sidedly outmaneuvered by Chen Ming.

"Hmm... In such large-scale operations, I can lift this restriction for you, and your field of vision will be retained too. Just remember to control your spiritual power."

After all, this seemingly cheating ability is precisely Chen Ming’s most fundamental ability. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Under this scale, imposing restrictions would indeed be inappropriate, and Bai Quan’s own thought was to let Chen Ming fully utilize his spiritual energy to determine Chen Ming’s true value in warfare.

After discussing with Chen Ming and modifying some detailed rules,

Bai Quan concluded the rules for the upcoming battle simulation. As he initiated the equipment, he took the opportunity to ask Chen Ming, "Have you seen the background for this simulation battle?"

"There’s a background?"

"Well, it seems Cheng Xinghai didn’t tell you. Let me explain now."

"The area this simulation is based on is one-third of a Star Realm in the Gallo Star Realm."

"The setup is that the local government and military are corrupt, colluding with each other to exploit the subordinate colonies."

"Meanwhile, some soldiers at the bottom chose to revolt, quickly forming an uprising with support from various sides."

"The rebel forces start off relatively weak, but the government army won’t be too strong either, because in the setup, many people don’t support the government and privately support the rebels, so the rebels will have some hidden benefits."

"That’s the basic gist of it."

Chen Ming immediately quipped, "What kind of peculiar background is this?"

Bai Quan shrugged and said, "After all, the Galo-2 Star Zone in the Gallo Star Realm has previous incidents, and there’s a potential for war to erupt there afterward, so..."

"Anyway, the government forces need to eliminate the rebels within a limited time, otherwise, the rebels will draw the attention of higher authorities and take down the corrupt leadership."

"The rebels, on the other hand, need to withstand the government’s encirclement and suppression, waiting for the official pardon from above."

Chen Ming suddenly made a stop gesture and said, "Wait a minute, waiting for a pardon? Isn’t it supposed to end when the government army is taken down by higher-ups?"

"You noticed that?"

"That’s right, after the rebels engage in battle with the government forces, there will be a higher-level inspection-like siege. Passing it leads to forgiveness; failing means a victory for the government forces."

Chen Ming subconsciously said, "Why does it feel like something similar has happened before."
