This Is Truly Not Mechanical Ascension

Upon opening his eyes, Li Ming found himself in a turbulent interstellar era. Countless civilizations wielded their hunting rifles, eyeing everything in the universe with predatory gazes, and his m...

Chapter 236: Internal Tricks

Hearing Sandro's shouting, Jessia glanced at him coldly, and Benny looked embarrassed.

Li Ming hinted, "Mr. Deyes actually even knows that this thing is used to increase the concentration of sublimated particles. Is it possible to analyze it so clearly?"

Everyone's eyes changed slightly and they communicated with each other a lot.

Ulrich watched quietly. He didn't expect to see such a wonderful show as soon as he came here.

This guy Qinglong, although he doesn't show his true colors on the surface, has probably been secretly eyeing the Ascender ruins for a long time.

The mysterious origin now came into play. No matter what Qinglong said, others would make up their own stories. In the absence of clear evidence, at least they would not suspect that there was something wrong with the source of the information.

But Deyes's background was clear. He had been here for the past few months, had acted completely clueless before, and now knew far too much.

Deyes's expression changed, but suddenly he darkened. "What do you mean, Lord Qinglong? Do you suspect I'm deceiving everyone?"

Continuing to explain would only put himself in an awkward position, and Deyes used anger to mask his uneasiness.

Li Ming stared at him and suddenly smiled faintly, "Mr. Deyes, you misunderstood. I was just asking casually. There's no need to get so excited."

Cornett's eyes kept wandering around Deyes, and there seemed to be some thought in his eyes.

Deyes snorted coldly before explaining, "The specific function of this thing isn't difficult to analyze. As long as we combine it with relevant information about the Ascendant civilization, we can make a guess. But it did take quite a bit of time and effort."

Ulrich suddenly spoke up, "This item must be extremely valuable and rare. This isn't the first time an Ascendant Ruins has appeared. It's said that one of the requirements for entry is the concentration of sublimated particles."

"Since Mr. Deyes holds such an important thing, why has he never thought of selling it?"

Deyes's expression remained unchanged. "Everyone knows how the Ascendant civilization vanished. How could I dare to sell something like this openly?"

"Besides, this is just one possible analysis. That thing is quite incomplete, and I can't completely restore it. Who would believe me without any evidence?"

Deyes's explanation was somewhat plausible, and Ulrich nodded with a smile.

Others didn't know whether to believe it or not, but Cornett didn't continue on this topic and said,

"In any case, figuring out the origin and function of this thing is good news. Your Excellency Qinglong's arrival has indeed brought about a breakthrough."

"I hope that His Excellency Qinglong and several master mechanics can work together to manufacture this thing as soon as possible."

Connet ignored Deyes in his words. Everyone's eyes fell on Li Ming. Jessia also said, "With His Excellency Qinglong joining us, we should be able to relax a lot."

Benny also echoed a few words, and Li Ming stood in the center like a moon surrounded by stars.

Deyes watched coldly. Cornett had never spoken to them in such a polite tone before.

Although part of the reason came from the three A-level life forms over there, this obvious contrast still made him feel upset.

And there is Jessiah, this guy advocated inviting Qinglong from the beginning, and the conflict between the two has been going on for a long time.

Even though he revealed that he had the relevant data and information, no one paid any attention to him.

Everyone present was not a fool. Deyes brought out the data about the Tanlomon biological sublimator so abruptly. There must be something fishy about it.

Until Cornette finds out the truth, he will definitely stay away from it.

"Alas..." Li Ming sighed and smiled bitterly, "Everyone has overestimated me. In fact, I am just like Mr. Deyes. I only know the name of this thing and its general function."

"Without the relevant detailed data, it's difficult to produce it in a short time..."

Having said that, in fact, he already had a broken sublimator in his hand. He only needed to consume metal energy to repair it and could directly make it into a finished product.

But it wouldn't do him much good to have it made so quickly.

The Torch Organization's headquarters is located in a secret location. For now, it is very safe and can develop steadily for a period of time.

Upgrading the controlled objects requires even more alienated energy. How can he easily satisfy Connit when he hasn't even completed his own goals?

Cornett frowned slightly. This matter had dragged on for too long. Qinglong's arrival was indeed a turning point.

But after all, it is a lost technology, and it is indeed impossible to produce it in a short time.

"Therefore, we still need Mr. Deyes's full support." At the end, Li Ming mentioned Deyes again.

Deyes was relieved to hear the other party say he wasn't familiar with this thing. He forced a smile and said, "This is my job, so I'll cooperate with you."

"If we build this thing, we can enter the Ascendant Ruins?" Sandro asked suspiciously, "Cornet, do you know what's inside the Ascendant Ruins?"

"Don't let everyone rush in excitedly, only to find a few melons and a few dates, not enough to go around."

"Don't worry, the contents inside will definitely satisfy you." Although Cornett said this, he did not intend to explain anything.

This is the core laboratory. On weekdays, only senior mechanics and related experimental personnel can enter and exit, and they are subject to strict scrutiny.

After the tour, Cornett took everyone away, claiming that he had arranged a banquet.

"Why is there suddenly another party?" Sandro muttered. Cornette's attitude before was obviously to let them "fend for themselves".

"Why? Of course it's because of Azure Dragon." Ulrich said calmly, "Azure Dragon has demonstrated its worth and lived up to Cornett's expectations. Naturally, Cornett must show his respect."

Sandro snorted coldly, "Are the combined total of us not enough for him to pay attention to?"

Ulrich was too lazy to argue with Sandro. It wasn't them that Cornette wanted. Could they be Cornette's helpers?

It can be seen that this kind of banquet is relatively unfamiliar to the Torch Organization. In a simple hall, there is a long metal table, and those present are either A-level life forms or great mechanics.

However, the drinks and food were not special, and many of them were obviously made on the spur of the moment.

"A-level life form—Brot, Deyes's senior. They once followed the same teacher..."

Ulrich gestured with his eyes to the two beings sitting across from the rectangular metal banquet table. The one on the left was tall and had pale yellow skin.

The other was quite handsome, with snow-white hair, holding a wine glass elegantly. "A-class life form—Huber, student of Master Mechanic Benny."

Without these two A-level life forms, Deyes and Benny would not dare to come to the Torch Organization's headquarters.

Li Ming's eyes swept over them. Huber nodded slightly, and Brott had a cold expression.

The Torch Organization's other A-level life form did not show up, only Connit's left and right deputies.

As the glasses clinked, the atmosphere gradually became lively. Benny, Jessiah and others clinked glasses with Li Ming and chatted in low voices.

Deyes was feeling very uncomfortable here. Because of the previous reasons, everyone was more or less deliberately ignoring him.

As the banquet was coming to an end, he could no longer sit still, so he made an excuse that he had something to do and hurriedly left with Brot.

"Deyes, you don't look well. Is it because of that Azure Dragon?" Brot asked with a frown after leaving the house.

"Part of it," Deyes said absently.

As soon as he walked out of the hall and turned a metal corridor, Deyes, with a gloomy expression, paused and panicked. The person standing in front of him was Connit, who should have been in the banquet hall.

"Deyes..." Cornett's eyes fell on Deyes with indifference.

Brot frowned, took a step sideways, stood in front of Deyes, and said bluntly: "Cornet, you are not in the banquet hall with that Qinglong. What are you doing here?"

"Brot, Mr. Deyes and I have a few words to say. Could you please step aside for a moment?" Connet said in a deep voice with a restrained expression.

"Brot, you go first." Deyes said from behind.

Brot turned around with an inquiring look, but seeing that Deyes just shook his head, he snorted coldly at Connet and left.

Cornett watched the other party leave, then said, "Can you explain to me where you got the relevant data from?"

"I've said what I need to say." Deyes shook his head.

"You looked at that blueprint for several months and didn't remember it. How come you suddenly remembered it?" Cornett was still suspicious, but he had asked someone to investigate, but there was no sign that Deyes had contacted the outside world.

"Then what do you want me to say? It's just a coincidence." Deyes walked forward, turned on his smart terminal, entered a certain software, and a large amount of data was refreshed.

He operated and called out a data document. After opening it, the drawings on the page were surrounded. Deyes took a look and felt vaguely familiar. It should be the sublimator.

"Look at the timestamp above, isn't it..." Deyes said, pointing to the time on the document.

Cornett frowned. The timestamp was indeed correct, but it was not impossible to forge it.

But he just had suspicions in his mind, and there was no other evidence to support his suspicions.

It's not impossible that this incident, as Deyes said, was just a coincidence.

Qinglong is not sure that he can produce it, and Deyes still has value.

Thinking of this, his expression softened. "Sir Deyes, I'm sorry. As the leader of the Torch Organization, I must ensure that everything is foolproof. Please forgive me."

Seeing him like this, Deyes's expression calmed down a lot. "It's okay. It's as it should be."

"However..." Cornett changed the subject: "The hope of creating a sublimator is just around the corner. I hope that Mr. Deyes can cooperate with peace of mind."

"The Torch Organization and I will never allow any accidents to happen in this matter."

Deyes, whose expression had improved slightly, sank again and said in a muffled voice, "I understand."

After saying this, Deyes left straight away, with a bad expression on his face all the way until he returned to his room.

He locked the door and turned on the interference device he had set up. The invisible distorted position immediately enveloped him.

It was not until this time that Deyes, with a sullen face, slowly exhaled, and with a flicker in his eyes, he had already opened his smart terminal.

However, he entered another dark page, which was completely different from the page he had just shown to Connet.

With a wave of his hands, virtual page projections surrounded him. His fingers operated quickly like phantoms, opening and closing a large number of pages, and finally stopped on a document that was flashing red light.

It is tightly wrapped around by chains formed by a large amount of green data.

He stared at the document and murmured, "Asmara, is it civilized?"

The relevant data he obtained about the "Tanlomon Bio-Sublimator" was extracted from this encrypted document.

When he received the data, he immediately realized something was wrong.

With his skills, he indeed discovered the specially crafted virus hidden in the document.

And he somehow bypassed the virus and extracted the data.

However, it was not destroyed. Instead, the document was isolated at the bottom of the database in the form of a virtual prison.

He had already figured out the function of this virus. Once it was opened, it would spread rapidly in the internal network of the Torch Organization in a fission manner.

However, it will not cause any damage at the first time, but will wait for the opportunity when the internal network and external network information intersect.

As a result, countless data packets are thrown out, and these data packets will be captured by another special program to form a positioning, allowing the Itlan civilization to lock the location of the Torch Organization.

Of course, this is a theoretical effect. The internal network of the Torch Organization is not a sieve that can be hidden at will.

What he obtained from it was not only the incomplete data and design drawings about the sublimator, but also a special agreement about the Itlan civilization.

bite--

Suddenly, an abrupt sound made Deyes's face change drastically. With just one button, all the data pages surrounding him disappeared. He looked at the door with a grim expression.

A page popped up on the video terminal nearby. It showed a short mechanical figure with beautiful blue metal armor on its body. Even with Deyes's strict aesthetic standards, he nodded secretly.

But this did not ease his expression at all, because he remembered that this mechanical body was one of Qinglong's subordinates.

He showed no sign of moving. A soft voice came from the video terminal: "Sorry, the owner of the room does not want to be disturbed for the time being."

But the mechanical body seemed not to hear it and continued to press the doorbell. After three times, the doorbell stopped ringing.

But this short mechanical body was quite rough and started hammering on the door. The banging sound made Deyes's face more and more ugly, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Bang!

Opening the door, Deyes lowered his head and shouted, "If your master is not capable of writing low-level logic code, you can ask me for help!"

"Sir Deyes..." Lei Ting, despite his considerable intelligence, appeared quite dull, swaying from side to side. "My master invites you to discuss the next steps in creating the sublimator."

Deyes looked displeased. This Azure Dragon was too arrogant. He only sent a mechanical body to invite him?

What he didn't notice was that under the special light, the shadow under Lei Ting was shaking, intersecting with his shadow, and then seemed to fluctuate slightly.
