Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 770 - 229 Interruption_4

"??? "

Chen Ming hadn’t had time to memorize the data he had collected over these days, nor had he had a chance to ask Bai Quan to help export the records of his experiments in the simulation.

As someone who frequently uses computers, Chen Ming was all too familiar with the consequences of a system shutting down abnormally.

The fruits of his labor over the past half month vanished with the forced termination of the program.

"Damn it."

Chen Ming gritted his teeth and spat out these words.

Of course, this wasn’t directed at Bai Quan, because he was sure Bai Quan wouldn’t have done it.

Bai Quan, as a referee, absolutely knew what Chen Ming was doing. If Bai Quan didn’t want him to obtain that data, he could have ended the simulation right when Chen Ming called over Dusk or even on the first day he successfully controlled the Dusk Core.

At that time, Chen Ming wouldn’t have said anything even if it was stopped.

But now it’s different. He had already spent considerable time and effort on these matters, something Bai Quan could easily see.

He shouldn’t, and indeed, couldn’t prematurely stop the simulation at this point.

Could it be due to some external interference? Did the simulation equipment malfunction?

Just as Chen Ming was brimming with unchecked anger.

He suddenly found himself back in the dark space from before the simulation started, which instantly transformed into a conference room-like setting.

Many people were sitting there.

Including some soldiers with Major General and Colonel insignia on their uniforms, his previous teammates, and a young man who was probably his opponent.

It seemed this place was set up for convenient communication, to avoid too many people interfering with each other on the communication channels.

And at that moment.

Chen Ming saw Bai Quan slam the table, questioning someone in the room: "Lou Wei! Why do you have the authority to terminate the battle?"

Lou Wei, not backing down, also slammed the table and said: "I should be asking why you’re cheating!"

From what Chen Ming could tell, it wasn’t Bai Quan who suddenly stopped the simulation, nor was it an accident.

It was this person named Lou Wei.

The anger accumulated in Chen Ming’s heart found a release point, and it began to rise rapidly.

If he just heard someone accusing him of cheating, he wouldn’t care. He would just laugh it off.

Because even he sometimes felt his Spiritual Energy was akin to cheating, Cheng Xinghai had mentioned it a few times during this period.

However.

The anger from losing his work files due to computer issues was not something that could be easily dismissed.

His research achievements from these days, the intelligence he gathered, and various crucial blueprints. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Vanished with a snap.

It didn’t matter who it was, even if it was a Vice Admiral or an Admiral, he intended to give them a piece of his mind today.

Chen Ming walked to the side of the conference table, lightly tapped it a few times to attract everyone’s attention, and then asked, "What’s going on?"

Bai Quan immediately turned to Chen Ming and said, "Sorry, Chen Ming, someone forcibly stopped the simulation, and I am handling it."

Chen Ming feigned ignorance and asked, "Why?"

"Because you cheated!"

"How did I cheat? Where’s your evidence?"

Lou Wei tossed a document to Chen Ming and said, "See for yourself; you can’t have this level of Spiritual Power."

Chen Ming glanced over it briefly, set the document aside, and asked, "Who provided you with this document?"

"I’ve already called him over; he should be here soon. Then, you’ll have to talk to him personally."

Lou Wei deliberately emphasized the inconvenience in his tone.

"I can talk with him, but since he’s not here yet, let’s discuss another matter first."

Lou Wei sneered disdainfully, "I’d like to hear what else you have to say."

Chen Ming also chuckled coldly and said, "I was conducting research on the Synchronous Accelerator Core in the simulation, and your forced termination of this simulation caused the program to shut down improperly, erasing all my test data. How are you going to compensate for that?"

Lou Wei suddenly looked a bit stunned.

Someone nearby asked, "What is a Synchronous Accelerator Core?"

Hong Guanghong’s mentor immediately helped explain: "It’s a relic we obtained from the Mechanical Race civilization, and we have never been able to figure out what it does."

Upon hearing this, Lou Wei’s expression relaxed a bit.

However, Hong Guanghong’s mentor continued.

"But Chen Ming had previously developed new effects with the Purgatory Core ability. It’s reported that a few Psychics on par with Wu An have been testing it."

"Since both are relics from another civilization, the Synchronous Accelerator Core should have similar effects."

"You all know the effects of the simulation equipment; although the simulation of Spiritual Energy isn’t perfect, doing some preliminary research on this object shouldn’t be a problem."

"As long as the subsequent real-world experiments match up, these data can basically be used in reality."

"I have also conducted some research here before and never encountered any issues."

"It so happens I heard that Vice Admiral Bai seemed to have applied for a Synchronous Accelerator Core a few days ago, and it’s approved; it should be sent to his side soon, presumably for Chen Ming."

"Chen Ming is not just a Psychic; he’s also a researcher capable of conducting research that our current technology level cannot achieve through the use of Spiritual Energy."

"Furthermore, in-depth consciousness simulation in large battlefields might not be able to save data in real-time due to excessive data."

"Which means..."

With Hong Guanghong’s mentor unable to finish the sentence definitively,

Lou Wei, lying in the simulation equipment chamber, suddenly felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his forehead.
