Chapter 127: Exploring the Underground Laboratory There are so many treasures that I am dazzled

"If it weren't for my senior brother, I would have to take so many detours." Li Ming thanked him again and again and sent Luo Chuan away with a relieved look on his face.

When he inserted the USB drive back into his smart terminal, he found an extra file inside, which was the coding system.

After getting this thing, Li Ming was completely relieved. He felt a little impatient, but he restrained himself and went to the training room to practice hard.

In the afternoon, Chen Yan found him and conveyed Huo Torch's intention, saying that they could do as he said, but the matter must be resolved within fifteen days.

Li Ming estimated it and then agreed without hesitation.

Finally, he made it to night. Li Ming couldn't wait any longer and waited until two in the morning, which was even later than last time.

After sneaking all the way to the underground laboratory, usually no one comes here, but Li Ming still waited cautiously for half an hour.

After confirming that there was no one in the surveillance cameras, he took out a mechanical column and placed it in front of the alloy gate. Three umbrella-shaped support frames extended from both sides of the mechanical column.

This thing can absorb sound waves within a certain range. The noise from opening the door the first two times was quite loud, so Li Ming specially found this thing from the experimental department.

Then, he opened the smart terminal to access the code and entered his vital signs data.

With the slight tremor, he vaguely heard a faint sound, very weak and not far away.

The alloy door was completely opened. Without hesitation, he picked up the sound wave absorber and rushed in, then closed the door from the inside.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. The network here was completely isolated from the outside world. He began to invade the local network here and soon obtained the highest authority.

The first thing to do is to erase all traces of your presence here.

Then he began to review local files and found a large number of experimental logs. He looked at the timestamps and found that the earliest one could be traced back to eight years ago.

"Eight years ago?" Li Ming thought for a moment and estimated that it was probably the time when Wu Yanqing had just returned to Blue Star.

“…I felt terribly painful. My genes, cells, blood, and muscles were all roaring and rejecting each other. I told Asmara about this, and she said it was a necessary process…”

"...I really can't stand it. I feel my genes collapsing. The powerful superpowers are already suppressing my gene seed. I can only choose one of these two paths..."

“…Asmara is very angry and accuses me of being a coward. I don’t care anymore. My life is the most important thing. Chen Jinglong, that idiot, can’t see Asmara’s true face…”

This kind of recording continued intermittently for three months, and Wu Yanqing in the recording had suppressed anger in his voice.

Li Ming frowned. At this time, Wu Yanqing's genetic evolution path and superpowers coexisted in his body, causing him great pain.

Under the threat of death, he chose to eliminate the gene seed, but this seemed to make Princess Asmara extremely angry.

"...Asmara came in person. She tied me up in the experimental chamber and made sure there were no more sublimated particles in my body. Her eyes were cold, as if she was looking at a piece of trash..."

"...But she still needs me. She's unwilling to accept the fate of a political marriage, but she doesn't want to reveal that she's been inside the ruins of the Ascended civilization..."

Li Ming heard from Chen Yan what happened next. Wu Yanqing made the matter of sublimating particles known to the whole galaxy.

Of course, there are some details, such as the name of sublimation particles after the gene purification particles are changed, and their true functions, which he distorted in order to avoid attracting more people's attention.

Only let those who should understand understand.

The ruins of the Ascender civilization, Li Ming heard this name appear several times in subsequent records.

There were also a large number of experimental logs, and Li Ming listened and explored.

His eyes gradually changed, and he pieced together a lot of things in bits and pieces.

The remains of the Ascender civilization should be the one that Dean Chen mentioned, discovered near the Red River Star Stream.

But Chen Jinglong also blurred the time of discovery. In fact, the three of them had discovered this civilization relic eight years ago.

He even got in through some means, but for some reason, Wu Yanqing obtained sublimation particles and awakened his superpowers with their help.

But this fusion is only temporary, and Wu Yanqing has no choice but to eliminate his own gene seeds.

But this angered Princess Asmara, who simply pushed Wu Yanqing to the front as a pawn to threaten the Itlan civilization.

The Ascended Civilization was a powerful civilization that once existed in the interstellar space, far older than the Itlan Civilization.

The Itlan civilization did not want this news to leak out and arouse the envy of other civilizations, so it had no choice but to compromise with Princess Asmara.

But no one knows what happened half a year ago, which led to the complete exposure of the remains of the Ascendant civilization.

Over the years, Wu Yanqing has never given up his research on sublimation particles, and through his own experimental subject, he has actually discovered some secrets.

The Ascendant civilization was once a powerful human civilization.

He believes that sublimated particles really exist in every human being.

Not all the theories he published were false; a considerable portion of them were his own true understandings.

He believed that he would definitely be able to find humans who possessed sublimation particles, which would be the final glory of the sublimator civilization.

"There is actually such a secret. No wonder Old Wu reacted like that back then." Li Ming pondered to himself.

According to Wu Yanqing, only when the particle concentration exceeds 50% can one truly enter the ruins of the Ascended civilization.

"...There's a bunch of idiots who have always believed that I've figured out a way to fuse and sublimate particles..."

Wu Yanqing sneered in an experimental log. He had indeed been researching, but had failed without exception.

"...I speculate that Princess Asmara must have mastered this technology, or at least has a certain probability of being able to do it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be looking for life forms with development potential exceeding level 20."

When Li Ming heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.

It turns out that this is the reason why Islamic civilization is looking for life forms with extremely high development potential, to fuse and sublimate particles.

This is probably the secret that the Torch Organization wants him to steal, but the real owner is not Wu Yanqing, but Princess Asmara.

The torch should not know this.

“…I found it, I really found it, haha…The universe will not let me down!”

Wu Yanqing's voice suddenly became high-pitched. "He will enter the ruins of the Ascendant civilization and find a way to repair the genetic damage!"

Looking at the time, half a year ago was the time when Wu Yanqing returned from the Silver-Ash Star.

Repairing genetic damage?

Li Ming thought thoughtfully that what they experienced in the ruins of civilization must have caused great harm to Old Wu.

Li Ming had already vaguely figured out the general idea of ​​what was going on.

After a few clicks on the smart terminal, the thick walls on both sides immediately receded, revealing a huge glass exhibition stand at the back, with many alloy cabinets on each.

One of them contained the [Ferros Warrior-class Mecha] that Li Ming had seen before. It was in tatters, but still powerful.

He went up and touched it again, reluctant to leave. However, Li Ming immediately turned his attention to other display cabinets.

There were a lot of things. Last time, Wu Yanqing only showed him this mecha, and the other things were hidden. If he hadn't sneaked in this time, he really wouldn't have known that there were so many things.

Li Ming picked up the nearest object, the size of a fist, pitch black, with a hard surface, like some kind of irregular stone.

[Tanlomon Bio-Sublimator - Consumable Type (Broken): A biological device made using the brain stem tissue of the interstellar behemoth Tanlomon.

Control conditions: 500,000 metal energy

Control Effect - Sublimation: Consume the controlled object to significantly increase the concentration of sublimation particles in the body.

Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect to encounter the highlight right at the beginning.

This thing can increase the concentration of sublimated particles in the body, and judging by its description and consumption, it can probably increase it to an extremely high level.

In all likelihood, it could exceed 50%, which already met the requirements of that relic.

But he has no obsession with sublimation particles. With his ability to control objects, he can easily obtain multiple superpowers.

Awakening superpowers is not very tempting for him, and he will be easily targeted by others. Unless he can awaken a particularly extraordinary superpower, it is not worth the risk.

His current concentration is 10%, and the medicine that Old Wu gave him can still suppress it. If it goes up any further, that medicine may not be able to suppress it.

Unless we are going to enter some ruins, there is no need to increase the particle concentration. Thinking about this, Li Ming put it back.

He then reached out to the stone slab next to him. He couldn't control it, but it was extremely heavy.

Li Ming was a little surprised that he couldn't pick it up with one hand, so he used both hands to move it down.

It is only the size of a palm, dark brown in color, with irregular edges and light golden lines on the surface. It feels quite plump overall.

"Some kind of metal?"

Looking at the numbers jumping on the control page, he was a little surprised. He couldn't feel that this thing had any metallic properties at all.

"It looks like some kind of metal monument?" Li Ming looked up and down, left and right, but couldn't see any clues. The metal numbers just kept jumping at a constant speed.

"Huh? So strong?" Li Ming was surprised to find that there was not even a trace of discoloration or rust on it.

The maximum range of his absorption of metal energy is now enough to completely cover this palm-sized object.

If it were Flame Blue Alloy, it would have been sucked dry long ago.

He became a little interested and was curious about how much metal energy he could extract. He kept a close eye on the object and would stop if there was even the slightest sign of rust.

However, as time passed, the metal balance continued to fluctuate, with no sign of stopping.

Li Ming's expression changed from curiosity to surprise, and then to daze.

It took him three full hours to extract 220,000 metal energies from it before a few traces of rust appeared on the surface.

Li Ming stopped immediately, and then carefully wiped off the traces of rust on the surface, his heart shocked.

According to his previous experience, the appearance of obvious rust means that about 70% to 80% of the metal's energy has been extracted.

If the entire piece is absorbed, I'm afraid more than 300,000 metal energies can be extracted.

"What the hell is this? Such a small piece has 300,000 metal energies." Li Ming couldn't contain his surprise.

He speculated that this thing probably came from the so-called remains of civilization, and at the same time he had a deeper understanding of the level of development of sublimated civilization.

Simply put, this is equivalent to nearly 20 million flame blue alloys condensed together. It is so hard that even a B-level life form would find it difficult to break it.

"It would be fine if it was a fragment of some key component, but the entire ruins have to be made of this material." Li Ming's eyes were hot, and anticipation suddenly arose in his heart. He actually had some interest in that civilization relic.

"You're thinking too far ahead." Restraining his thoughts, he shook his head. The 220,000 metal energies alone were worth the price of admission.

It was worth his effort to come here.

Putting the things back, he went towards something he had just found. It was a broken silver cylinder placed in the corner, only half the length of his arm, and looked quite inconspicuous.

After picking it up, his eyes suddenly widened——

[Genetic Isomorphic Evolution Theory - Grade B (Damaged): The evolution theory that the Ascender civilization has studied for many years.

Control conditions: One million metal energy

Control effect: Development speed boost - 500%

Control Ability - Genetic Homomorphism: Temporarily modify the inherent characteristics of a gene seed to adapt to the requirements of any gene sequence.

【Genetic homology】! ?

There actually is such a thing. Li Ming's breathing suddenly became rapid.

There is no doubt that this is a real good treasure. This ability allows him to avoid having to spend a lot of effort looking for powerful genetic sequences.

Or worry about what to do if the gene seed you have fused is not within the powerful gene sequence.

Although it says that only one item can be modified now, according to Li Ming's experience, this kind of quantitative data will generally increase as the level increases.

How could Asmara let Wu Yanqing have such a thing? Bait?

But after a moment he shook his head, suspecting that he was overthinking it, because this thing didn't seem to have anything special on the surface.

Ordinary people have no idea of ​​its true purpose, and perhaps that is why Wu Yanqing took advantage of it.

Such a powerful sublimator civilization was actually destroyed. After the heat in his heart subsided, he thought about this problem.

[Genetic Isomorphism] This ability is really too amazing.

But then he realized that [Genetic Isomorphism] was actually an ability given to him by the control column, and the true power of this theory of evolution should not be so incredible.

After calming down, Li Ming continued to look. There were no special items left. Some of them were out of control and were not made of metal.

After touching everything here, he took a deep breath.

"[Feros Armor], [Tanlomon Biological Device], Broken Stone Tablet, [Genetic Isomorphic Evolution Theory], they are all good things." Li Ming looked around, reluctant to leave.

Unfortunately, he couldn't control anything and could only watch.

However, what made him feel at ease was that no one knew the specific functions of these things, not even Old Wu, so there would be no accidents if they were left here.

He reassured himself that once he had accumulated enough metal energy, it would be his sooner or later.

After learning the whole story and the secrets hidden behind it, Li Ming felt much more at ease.

At least, Wu Yanqing only knows part of the secret, and the real master is with Princess Asmara. As long as he does not expose the sublimation particles in his body, the danger will not be great.
