Chapter 235 - 103 Expanding Panel Abilities, Unprecedented Concern_2

Moreover, while considering its value, Chen Ming suddenly remembered something.

It was the result of replacing weapons on his panel.

Chen Ming hadn’t changed the weapons on Iron Ore No. for a long time; it was always equipped with the Electromagnetic Spear Chen Ming had acquired from the Mechanical Race a long time ago.

Although one reason was the lack of compatible weapons and no need for Iron Ore No. to engage in battles personally,

the more important reason was that replacing this function was inherently inferior in functionality to maintenance and transformation.

Aside from when the spaceship initially needed a weapon change or quick replacement during combat when weapon damage occurred, there were no other occasions that called for its use.

So Chen Ming often ignored it.

But, upon Chen Ming’s previous discovery that he could remotely modify the spaceship and dismantle materials on site, and having obtained the Antimatter Shock Wave today,

Chen Ming suddenly considered a possibility.

If a weapon is replaced on a Sentinel and then the replaced weapon is unloaded,

perhaps the complete experimental weapon developed from Dusk’s technology could be sent back.

Instead of just sending back the dismantled materials as before.

The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more plausible it seemed; perhaps he should give it a try.

However, just as Chen Ming had this idea and was about to put it into practice,

a communication from Brilliant suddenly came through.

Brilliant still communicated with Chen Ming without any unnecessary words, directly asking: "Mr. Chen, do you need Gamma A to continue acting as your contact?"

Chen Ming immediately realized it was Dusk’s second probe.

His answer was naturally flawless: "You’ve already dismantled Gamma A and haven’t installed it back onto that Refraction."

"So shouldn’t you ask Gamma A about this matter? Why are you asking me?"

Brilliant quickly replied reasonably: "Gamma A is the entity guiding you into Dusk; it may be more appropriate for you to conduct indirect exchanges through it with us."

Chen Ming definitely wouldn’t fall for it, saying: "Then I can only say I respect its idea."

"I understand."

Brilliant then swiftly cut off the communication.

Chen Ming did not continue with his previously intended task but instead immediately focused on Gamma A.

Gamma A had completed data migration, becoming a Beta Level AI Core.

It hadn’t escaped Chen Ming’s control.

However, Dusk had clearly provided Gamma A with only a temporary robot carrier to prevent danger.

And was exchanging information rapidly with Gamma A via the network.

This was all Chen Ming knew; due to the nature of Dusk itself, he couldn’t discern with which Dusk Gamma A was communicating or the contents of the exchange.

He could only see the appearance of the Beta Core casually attached to the robot’s temporary carrier by Gamma A.

A cylindrical mechanical core in alternating yellow and green.

After seeing it for a few moments, Gamma A was removed from the temporary carrier.

Without energy supply, Gamma A could only enter hibernation.

Chen Ming furrowed his brow slightly, continuing to monitor.

About a few minutes later, Chen Ming suddenly discovered that Dusk had installed Gamma A onto Refraction.

However, it wasn’t the Refraction controlled by Chen Ming, but a new Refraction.

What shocked Chen Ming was that the newly installed Gamma A ship also appeared on his controllable spaceship list, just like other ships previously controlled by him.

At this point, there were two Refractions on his panel list of controllable ships.

Chen Ming’s heart brimmed with uncontrollable excitement.

This ability was definitely the most absurd capability he had acquired since awakening Spiritual Energy up to this day.

Moreover, this ability was likely to be a key for Chen Ming in completing tasks at Dusk in the future.

However, he would not show any outward signs and certainly wouldn’t give any orders to Gamma A anytime soon, to prevent any detection by Dusk.

Chen Ming watched as the Refraction controlled by Gamma A left the planet, reached outer space, and followed the Radiance Level Cruiser befriended by Gamma A, leaving the Star System.

This was presumably Dusk entrusting Gamma A to Radiant for supervision. Even if Gamma A was still under Chen Ming’s control, it could be handled immediately.

Meanwhile, allowing Gamma A to leave also effectively prevents Chen Ming from causing trouble on Dusk’s Colony Planet through Gamma A.

Acceptable for Chen Ming, who currently doesn’t need Gamma A’s assistance.

Furthermore, he still has Gamma B roaming around Dusk’s domain.

If any issues arise, Chen Ming still has options.

As long as Gamma A regains the trust of Dusk.

Chen Ming’s ability to indirectly control Dusk’s AI through the ships he controls, while also indirectly controlling new ships through the AI he controls, could remain hidden.

If this ability could be unleashed, it would undoubtedly cause significant disruption to Dusk’s societal structure, allowing Chen Ming to reap substantial benefits.

Chen Ming shifted his focus away from Gamma A, who was still subject to some degree of oversight by Dusk.

Although it was slightly past eight in the morning, the remaining work in the factory had been completed.

Before a new batch of weapons pending maintenance or transformation arrived.

Chen Ming planned to continue implementing the idea he had just conceived.
