Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 653 - 199 Advancement_4

"Over at Dusk, there are only scattered samples left. It would take several generations, years, even decades to cultivate them to a scale where mass production is possible."

"If anyone’s interested, they might as well try it in the Dusk Star Realm themselves. Dusk is sure to have something left behind."

The people present clearly weren’t fools. After Chen Ming’s influence in Dusk, anyone trying to go in again was certainly courting disaster.

Even if Dusk truly did retain relevant technology, they absolutely couldn’t make another trip to the Dusk Star Realm to bring that technology out.

So unless they approached Chen Ming, there’s no other way to acquire this technology.

The only way they could get a piece of the pie was to lower their status and join in.

Otherwise, after a few years pass and the technology updates and iterates, they’d miss the boat.

A considerable number of people were eager for this technology.

However, for now, there hadn’t been any significant movements.

After all, Wu An revealed this technology during Bai Quan’s promotion ceremony, so without the master’s consent, there’s no way this technology would be released.

Even if they sought cooperation, they shouldn’t look to Wu An; they should seek out the Fourteenth Legion.

Chen Ming is the manufacturer, Wu An is the intermediary, and Bai Quan is the distributor.

At this time, Bai Quan was delighted that Chen Ming would entrust him with the sales rights of such a material technology, and he understood why Chen Ming had been researching biological technology all along.

Clearly, it was so he could at least understand some of the cultivation technology of this special biological material, instead of being completely in the dark, not even knowing what he was producing.

And the actual operation of cultivating and harvesting materials from Energy Crystal Crabs was probably entrusted to the Dusk that he controlled.

Bai Quan’s idea was logically sound, but he was indeed successfully misled by Chen Ming.

Still, he was fairly happy at the moment.

But as soon as today’s banquet was over, he feared his office door would be overwhelmed, so he needed to be mentally prepared in advance.

At that moment, Cheng Xinghai, who had unknowingly taken and read the research report from Bai Quan’s hands, suddenly tilted her head and asked Bai Quan, "Chen Ming? Is he the one who, with his ragtag fleet, forced my brother to hide in the escape pod?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xinghe, who was pretending to be dead beside her, lowered his head even further, not even wanting to explain that it was actually a local military’s own Ruler Cruiser that beat him.

Bai Quan clearly wasn’t going to spare Cheng Xinghe’s dignity, admitting bluntly, "That’s him."

A trace of curiosity and a fighting spirit flashed through Cheng Xinghai’s pupils as she told her two predecessors, "Uncle Bai, Uncle Wu, I’d like to meet him."

Bai Quan immediately understood Cheng Xinghai’s intention, saying, "You want to have a battle with him?"

Cheng Xinghai gave an adorably pitiful look as she stared at Bai Quan and asked, "Is it possible?"

Before Bai Quan could answer, Cheng Xinghe suddenly tugged on Cheng Xinghai’s sleeve and said, "Chen Ming isn’t one of us from the Fourteenth Legion, how can you simulate a battle on the equipment? You’re not thinking of a real fight, are you?"

"Ah... right."

Just as Cheng Xinghai was feeling a bit regretful, Bai Quan suddenly recalled that he still needed to arrange a test opponent for Chen Ming.

Initially, choosing Cheng Xinghe would have been good, but due to his conflict with Chen Ming, he was ruled out from the start, and Bai Quan hadn’t been able to decide on a suitable opponent for Chen Ming.

Now, with Cheng Xinghai’s voluntary offer—and she had no conflict with Chen Ming—she truly was a suitable choice.

Thus Bai Quan spoke up, "Actually, it’s not impossible."

"What?"

Ignoring the puzzled voice of Cheng Xinghe, Bai Quan said to Cheng Xinghai, "I can arrange for you to have a simulated battle with him on the equipment within a week; you can prepare yourself in advance."

"Really?"

"The new sub-equipment was installed in the Gallo Star Realm. The higher-ups agreed to grant Chen Ming access permissions, so you can simulate remotely, but don’t come crying to me if you get beaten."

The fighting spirit in Cheng Xinghai’s eyes was retracted, and she showed a sweet smile saying, "I wouldn’t, thank you, Uncle Bai."

"Alright, alright, you’ve met the person, mission accomplished, and I still have matters to discuss with others. Go off and enjoy yourself."

"Okay~"

As the crowd followed Bai Quan and Wu An back toward the banquet hall.

In the crowd, there was someone staring thoughtfully in the direction Cheng Xinghai departed from the banquet hall.

He was Xu Lin, the chairman of Sinda Corporation.

He indeed obtained the invitation to Bai Quan’s promotion ceremony, as mentioned before, and was indeed present, quietly holding his drink and watching for quite a while.

Though he was a bit disappointed that Chen Ming didn’t hand over the sales rights of the crystal technology to Sinda Corporation.

But the focus of his mind at this moment wasn’t there, rather on a rather unconventional idea that had just flashed through his mind.
