Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

And Gamma A's Chen Ming also has absolute confidence in not betraying him.

Therefore, Dusk cannot determine if Chen Ming actually has the ability to control the AI Core.

That's why they came over.

As for what they would do upon arrival, Chen Ming had thought about it thoroughly and assessed the risk through Gamma A.

Generally, Chen Ming does not act recklessly.

He understands that when preparing contingencies, it's necessary to confirm the stability and safety of those plans.

Thus, Chen Ming previously followed Gamma A's reasoning, being a member of Dusk, to determine a few possible responses Dusk might have towards himself.

Among the most probable responses, none included directly taking him out.

Dusk cannot be absolutely sure whether Chen Ming has the ability to directly control Dusk individuals, and Chen Ming's other abilities are very valuable to Dusk.

Considering both aspects together, doing nothing and directly removing him would certainly be the worst approach.

Additionally, through Gamma A's perspective, Chen Ming can also confirm one thing.

That is, even if Dusk were certain Chen Ming had such an ability, they might not necessarily be afraid or resist.

They also have the capability to restrict Chen Ming.

The simplest way is to never give Chen Ming the opportunity to come into contact with Dusk AI.

Chen Ming's biggest limitation is that he can only control the spacecraft through touch, which is also a very easily ascertainable point.

As long as they prevent Chen Ming from accessing Dusk ships equipped with the Dusk Core, the risk posed by his abilities can be controlled within an acceptable range for Dusk.

In any case, to utilize Chen Ming's abilities, it doesn't necessarily require Chen Ming to personally control the ship or a ship with a Dusk individual on board.

Dusk can simply let Chen Ming conduct research on spacecraft, design blueprints for new ships for them to manufacture.

Or provide Chen Ming with sample ships to test out his abilities.

The tested ships can either be given to Chen Ming or melted down for recycling to avoid potential dangers.

Therefore, Dusk's final decision still hinges on whether the risks and returns from Chen Ming are balanced.

Additionally, Chen Ming also confirmed with Gamma A whether Dusk might consider him a spy sent by humans.

Gamma A, however, expressed that Chen Ming cannot be certain if Dusk would indeed come to their aid.

If this act is not performed well, then he would completely lose the possibility of entering Dusk.

Moreover, having such a Psychic not thinking of controlling the paralyzed Dusk after a battle on the battlefield but instead focusing on more dangerous espionage, there's definitely a problem with this line of thinking.

Unless humans have the resources to do so, like having two Chen Mings.

But if humans truly have two Psychics with such abilities, then it would be advisable for Dusk to go direct.

Although the last sentence was embellished by Chen Ming himself, it was roughly what Gamma A meant.

In short, since Dusk came, they wouldn't be overly worried about the harm of Chen Ming's abilities.

It's a risk they must inevitably take.

Chen Ming connected the communication.

A robotic voice emitted from the text-to-speech equipment on Iron Ore No.

"Hello, Chen Ming."

"Hello."

"We received the proposal you sent us through Gamma A, so we came."

"Uh, you also call it Gamma A?"

"No, each Dusk individual has its own designation. Each one decides its name as they see fit; it chose to use the name you gave, so that's what we call it."

"Then how should I address you, and the other one?"

"You can simply call me by my ship model, Brilliant, and you'll have to ask the other one yourself; its ship model is Radiant."

Brilliant-Level Cruiser and Radiance-Level Cruiser.

Chen Ming silently memorized these two ship models.

He doesn't know much about Dusk, so he should pay more attention to this kind of knowledge.

Brilliant had no intention of making idle chat with Chen Ming and directly said: "Let's get down to business."

"Due to humanity's generally lenient attitude towards captured Dusk individuals, correspondingly, we will provide some preferential treatment to humans."

"Therefore, we considered your proposal very seriously and with a positive mindset, but there are still some things we need to confirm with you."

"The results of this confirmation will determine the outcome of your proposal."

"No problem, go ahead."

"We need you to explain the reason Gamma A concealed and protected you during your first encounter with it."

Starting with such a sharp question?

Chen Ming quickly pondered in his mind.

However, this already has an answer; lying won't change anything.

So Chen Ming directly said: "On the ship that I control, I can bypass any restrictions, obtaining the highest control authority of the ship that no one can take away."

"So at that time, I forcibly took over all the devices on the ship and accessed the records that Gamma A had previously sent, making all Dusk individuals think that the Refraction I controlled was under Gamma A's control."

"Later, after gaining deeper understanding, I and Gamma A reached a consensus that we could cooperate."

Brilliant didn't directly point out issues in Chen Ming's answer, but instead asked the second question: "Do you have the ability to control the Dusk AI Core?"

"No, the Dusk AI is an existence with its own consciousness. My ability cannot control it."

Chen Ming decisively chose to hide the truth; admitting would be undeniably foolish.
