Although this made him feel as though the entire planet had an extra sense of weight, from a certain standpoint, it wasn’t purely a bad thing.
Because he could indeed feel the entire planet being stabilized in space by some force, yet there were still many areas on the planet that hadn’t been permeated by Negative Matter and remained unstable.
This unique structure is extremely valuable for research.
It could almost allow what was originally just a small project extended from the Plane Nightmare to have the possibility to compete with the Plane Nightmare’s corpse project group.
However, this will have to wait and see for a couple of days; Chen Ming will need to specifically analyze the planet’s situation thereafter.
To see if it’s feasible and whether it’s too dangerous.
Chen Ming couldn’t possibly blame the project team for today’s incident.
Negative Matter itself carries certain risks, so implementing more security measures is certainly not a problem.
Even if the team doesn’t install new security facilities, once the density of Negative Matter slowly accumulates, leaks from the facilities could be possible, just a few days delayed.
After all, the surface isn’t like space; despite the continuous emission of Negative Matter from the Plane Nightmare corpse in space, space doesn’t have the dual restrictions of narrow confines and vacuum like the surface.
Chen Ming certainly can’t forbid them from doing so, can he?
So in the end, Chen Ming could only handle today’s matter and went outside the dome to have a chat with the team leader.
It was apparent that the leader was extremely nervous and frightened, seemingly never having expected the situation of a Negative Matter leak, and he stuttered while speaking to Chen Ming.
The leader repeatedly assured that he wouldn’t do anything extra again.
Chen Ming then let him continue with his tasks.
After all, they’ve been on the Space Station sticking close to the Plane Nightmare corpse for so long; continuing work on a planet newly integrated with Negative Matter doesn’t count as much to him.
He swiftly agreed.
Once Chen Ming left and the leader returned to his group members.
The member who already knew the leader would install extra security equipment immediately said to the leader, "Don’t mess around with this anymore."
"I understand."
The leader’s previously tense gaze suddenly showed a hint of confusion, but he quickly stood calmly in place.
For a moment, his expression entirely lacked the nervousness and anxiety he had when Chen Ming pulled him out to talk during the incident.
The member in front seemed to also notice this; he was just about to say something but then realized the leader seemed fine, perhaps he just misjudged it initially.
And the leader did not converse much with the team members, instead turning his head to look toward the dome, with only the Plane Nightmare body fragments repositioned within the new dome in his line of sight.
The recently departed Chen Ming observed the team’s condition remotely through dome surveillance for a while.
Upon not noticing any issues, he ultimately chose to temporarily set aside the recent unexpected incident.
Chen Ming turned around.
He still planned to continue causing trouble for Leviathan.
The recent episode did not affect his thinking; instead, it heightened his urgency to resolve the Leviathan issue promptly.
He can face trouble, but he doesn’t want to deal with multiple troubles both inside and out simultaneously.
Given the uncertainty of whether internal issues will have future impacts, resolving the Leviathan, which has clear future implications, is the most important thing he needs to do.
Chen Ming led the newly regrouped Insect Race Fleet, which soon appeared within the M-type Star System.
The radiation level inside the Star System had increased several times compared to when Leviathan first appeared.
Evidently, Leviathan hiding within the star isn’t due to his deterrence but rather because they are conducting some special activity.
Chen Ming decided not to waste any more time.
A Hercules Level equipped with new weapons rushed straight for the star.
The spaceship penetrated the stellar material on the star’s surface.
Under the protection of Star-Devouring Armor, the Insect Race warship smoothly entered the star’s interior.
The biological sensors on the spaceship could almost see nothing but a sea of crimson within the M-type star.
Fortunately, the size of this M-type star wasn’t large, and after a search, Chen Ming managed to scan and locate Leviathan inside the star.
At this moment, the red, jellyfish-shaped Leviathan was still contending with the star.
The situation remained as before, with the same frequency spectrum allowing the star to absorb Leviathan’s material.
Especially within the star, the material on Leviathan’s body was continuously depleting.
However, conversely, the red jellyfish Leviathan was also absorbing the star’s material.
Unlike when it was detached from the star, when the jellyfish Leviathan is inside the star, its rate of absorbing stellar material exceeds the rate at which the star absorbs it.
As a result, after spending some time in the star, Leviathan became more active than before, which is the reason Chen Ming observed the radiation in the Star System grew stronger.
Witnessing this made it hard for Chen Ming not to suspect whether the jellyfish Leviathan and Star-Eating possess some familial connection.
Of course, this was just a passing thought for Chen Ming; in reality, the way Star-Eating absorbs stellar material is entirely different from that of the jellyfish Leviathan, and there is no substantial link between them.
Upon discovering Leviathan, Chen Ming promptly instructed the Insect Race Fleet to prepare.
