Dusk wanted to test the limits of Chen Ming’s abilities.
And Chen Ming was also quite curious about how far he could push his capabilities.
His repair ability could replenish live ammunition and missiles.
Even energy weapons, when the energy supply was sufficient, could reduce cooldown restrictions through the repair function, which was virtually equivalent to replenishing ammunition.
So where exactly is the limit of this ability?
Things like nuclear missile silos installed on ships?
Or the weapons more terrifying than nuclear bombs that erged after mankind entered the space age?
Though Chen Ming couldn’t touch nuclear bombs or weapons more powerful than them, Dusk wasn’t sure they’d provide them either.
In any case, testing the limit of his abilities wouldn’t harm Chen Ming.
No need to say more, Chen Ming directly chose to repair the Purgatory Cannon.
This gigantic cannon, the size of Iron Ore No., consud almost all the repair materials Dusk had prepared within just a few minutes.
There were so leftovers that Dusk probably couldn’t take back, so Chen Ming could use them himself.
The tal liquid stopped flowing into the Purgatory Cannon, and all thirty rounds in the magazine were loaded.
The whole process felt to Chen Ming no different from repairing other ship weapons using conventional bullets.
Overall, it was similar to repairing a frigate of the sa size, with no special sensation.
Chen Ming deliberately used factory equipnt to open the Purgatory Cannon’s magazine for a look.
He indeed saw thirty plasma-charged warheads, each the size of a person, neatly placed inside the magazine.
Even though Chen Ming had no knowledge about plasma-charged warheads and not even a sample, only materials.
Chen Ming still managed to replenish them all with his repair ability, which remains the most extraordinary ability he has mastered.
The Brilliant AI with factory permissions could clearly see the magazine Chen Ming opened.
This ti, without waiting for Chen Ming to leave at night, a team of remote-controlled robots was dispatched to drag the Purgatory Cannon away again.
It was loaded onto a cargo ship that had landed quite a distance from the factory.
It was evident Dusk was very mindful of the results of Chen Ming’s ability test this ti.
Perhaps Dusk happened to have a plan based on Chen Ming’s abilities.
Whether it’s as Chen Ming thought or not, the results should be apparent in a while.
Watching the cargo ship take off, Chen Ming asked the Brilliant AI, "No other tasks for today?"
"No, please continue studying those materials we provided earlier."
"Alright."
Since that’s the case, Chen Ming felt the timing was about right.
Before the Brilliant AI hung up, Chen Ming directly said, "I have a request."
"What request?"
"You should know that my ship is a mining ship, so I’d like to go mining. You aren’t worried that my little mining ship will deplete all the ores, right?"
Chen Ming’s sudden question didn’t make the Brilliant AI hesitate, imdiately asking, "What’s your reason?"
"The sa as yesterday."
"Mr. Chen, your request yesterday was for plants that could provide you emotional value, and we’ve now acquired cultivation equipnt, which will soon be delivered."
"We’re also looking for greenery suitable for a human habitable ecological environnt and can soon deliver them as well."
"Seeking emotional value through mining work, is that reasonable?"
The Brilliant AI explicitly rejected Chen Ming’s request, but Chen Ming had his reasons to explain.
"You should know about the human condition, the solitary confinent syndro, right?"
"Being alone in a confined environnt for too long can cause psychological issues."
"Look around, it seems spacious, yet the grey land and pitch-black sky may induce a stronger sense of confinent than normal environnts."
"Moreover, I spend my days in the factory, and no matter how you transform it, your factory environnt doesn’t match the normal working environnt I had with humans."
"You should understand this, right?"
The Brilliant AI understood that human diseases did include the solitary confinent syndro, and the triggers were indeed as Chen Ming described.
Even though it’s not human and doesn’t fully grasp human thoughts, it knew that different humans define different things differently.
An environnt that feels narrow to one person might seem just right to another.
Thus, the request Chen Ming proposed now could barely be considered reasonable.
However, letting Chen Ming, whom Dusk considered extrely dangerous, wander freely outside the factory on the planet wasn’t beneficial to them either.
Therefore, the Brilliant AI imdiately reported the situation to the superior Dusk AI.
Yet, information transmission takes ti, and confirmation, reconsideration, and retransmission back take ti too.
Just when the Brilliant AI hadn’t given Chen Ming a definite answer.
Chen Ming proactively took a step back, saying, "Actually, I don’t need to go out; I can just let my ship go."
The Brilliant AI imdiately asked, "Can remote controlling the ship for mining relieve your stress?"
"Do you know the concept of a ga? It’s similar to a ga. In reality, if you ask soone to do mining work, it might not be relaxing, but in a ga, it’s completely different."
"People might spend hours or even days in a ga mining, and remote-controlling my ship is basically like playing a ga—it’s a form of recreation."
