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 253: The Dimensional Lifeform That Made the Dream Come True
Zog has entered another box. The main gun stored here is called——
[Eternal Frozen - Special Type: Raging cold winds, granting eternal freezing.
Control conditions: 5 million metal energy
Control Effect: Double Cold
Control ability - bombing: materialize the naval gun and bombard a target. (Note: requires pre-charge)
This gun focuses more on continuous firing. The feature of [Double Fierceness] allows for two consecutive fires, and the cooling and charging interval is less than ten minutes.
After the two main guns were cross-checked by the chief inspector and confirmed to have no problems, feedback on other items also arrived one after another.
Less than 1% of the parts were defective overall, but this is within the margin of error.
"You two, can you sign now?" Li Yang walked over.
Hector nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Zog say "Huh" softly.
"Huh? Why didn't the transport ship open its hatch?"
Hector looked over subconsciously. It was a transport spaceship at the back with its hatch closed. Several people from the R&D department wanted to get closer, but were all frowned and repelled by the guarding soldiers.
Li Yang's face changed slightly, and he whispered, "The things in there are not within the scope of the R&D department. You don't need to worry about it."
"Don't worry about it?" Zog glanced down at the transport manifest and sneered, "The document you asked us to sign clearly lists five transport ships, but we've only checked four."
Li Yang's face turned grim, and he shook his head and said, "It's enough if everything is complete. Do you care about five ships or four?"
"No, no..." Zog shook his head. "Since it's our R&D department that signed it, we have to check everything one by one. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, will you be responsible or am I?"
The Torch Organization is neither big nor small. Just this main base is divided into dozens of departments, large and small, and the total number of employees is nearly 100,000.
As for logistics, they did not have it. The hatred and anger between the remnants of the civilization in each branch and the Itlan civilization led to many intrigues against each other.
There are even many talents who were deceived by the Torch Organization, and the highest proportion is in various laboratories, because it is really difficult to cultivate such talents.
Most of them publish recruitment notices in the form of empty-shell laboratories, using high prices to attract some inexperienced students who graduated from cutting-edge colleges of various civilizations.
The recruits may even be asked to work in a laboratory for several months or even half a year, and then be brought to the main base as an expatriate.
There are also some returning members of the Spark, and the various factions within are clearly divided.
Li Yang looked embarrassed, glanced around, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Let me put it this way, the transportation of the items is also the requirements of the top management, there won't be any problems."
"I'm not letting you watch it because your level isn't up to par yet."
"The requirements of the top management?" Li Ming in the shadows heard it carefully and became interested.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he did, Zog's expression became unbearable. He said in a cold voice, "You said it was an order from the top, so it must be an order from the top?"
"What if you transported something secretly? What if these things exposed the coordinates of the base?" Zog scolded.
He made quite a noise, and the transport ship staff and the R&D department all looked over. Li Yang couldn't hold back his expression, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm doing this for your own good. Fine, go ahead and watch if you want!"
Then he shouted to the back: "Get out of the way and make way for the two chief prosecutors!"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Zog hesitated.
But with so many people watching him, he couldn't save face and could only bite the bullet and walk towards the spaceship.
"Zog!" A loud shout suddenly came from behind, and everyone in the R&D department made way.
"Minister?" Zog looked back, slightly surprised.
"Okay, I'll sign it." Pierre didn't say much. He just took the list from Li Yang, signed his name on it, and then threw it back to him, saying in a deep voice:
"Get lost! If you, the Transportation Department, ever take on a secret mission like this again, please let me know in advance!"
Li Yang nodded repeatedly.
After sending the others away, Pierre called Zog alone and took him to a secluded place: "You are really brave. Do you know that if you really go up to see it, you will be dead."
Zog was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He asked cautiously, "Is it really something important?"
"The things are secondary. The key is the person who gave the order." Pierre shook his head, but did not say much.
Although Zog was curious, his own life was more important, so he thanked him repeatedly.
But secretly Li Ming was more interested.
"What on earth is this thing? How many people can a torch have..."
Pierre waved his hand: "Forget it, let's send those two main guns to the warehouse first."
Zog left in a hurry and quickly came to the large warehouse, where the items shipped this time were being put into storage according to the regular schedule.
As soon as he entered the warehouse, Zog froze in his tracks, as if suddenly remembering something. He muttered, "Oh, that Astartes electric cannon seemed to have some issues last time. I need to take another look."
Buzz--
The transport crane was lowering the boxes containing the main guns one by one, and the one at the very edge was the first main gun delivered twenty days ago.
As Hector watched, Zog quickly stepped forward and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that the Astartes electric cannon seems to have a small flaw."
Hearing this, Hector's expression tightened, "No way, didn't we see it last time?"
Zog said helplessly, "I don't know if I'm overthinking it, or if I've just been feeling lethargic lately. But since I'm here, I might as well open it and take a look. It'll put my mind at ease if I confirm it again."
"That's right." Hector didn't think much about it and immediately asked someone to open the box. The two of them walked in together.
In less than ten minutes, they walked out, and Héctor was still shaking his head: "I told you that you think too much."
"It will make you feel more at ease if you confirm it." Zog said a few words. The others just glanced at it and went on with their work without paying any attention.
In the shadows, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He had already obtained all three main guns, each with different characteristics.
[Corona Glow: Triples the stored energy, doubles the firing time, and can burst with double the power, causing severe burns.]
[Double Frigidity: Triple the energy, can be fired twice in succession to freeze the target.]
[Electromagnetic concentration effect: Double energy storage, causing a small-scale electromagnetic explosion.]
Each has its own characteristics. I won’t go into details about the other features, plus he has his own two cannons.
If five cannons are fired at the same time, combined with their own characteristics, if all hit the target, Brot should be killed directly.
He should be a threat to Theo, but this old guy is too cunning and the assassin is too agile.
He guessed and couldn't help but feel a little eager to try it, but considering the current environment and Connit turning into a purple giant, he could only suppress the impulse in his heart temporarily.
Now that you have it, there will definitely be a time when it will shine.
But there is a piece of bad news that is not really bad news, that is, his metal energy has run out. It took a total of 15 million metal energy to control these three cannons.
Now there is only about one million metal energies left, which has made Li Ming feel a little sense of crisis.
It's not even enough to repair the sublimator in hand.
"I must find a way to get some more. If that doesn't work, I have to absorb some of that super-large alloy even if it takes more time..." He thought to himself.
Zog and Hector went to find Pierre to report.
"Well, the main ship is being installed in full swing. You should also get ready. The installation of the main ship will begin soon." Pierre gave them a few instructions and let them leave.
He seemed to be worried about something, staring at the virtual screen with a distracted look.
Suddenly, a mechanical pocket watch fell.
"Among the five transport ships that arrived today, what's on the one that can't be inspected?"
"Boiling Blood Alloy..." Pierre looked dazed.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows. It was this kind of alloy?
There are all kinds of strange alloys in the interstellar world, and the raw materials used are also quite strange. The mixed materials are not just metals.
For example, the core of a star is doped with highly crystallized energy crystals.
This boiling blood alloy is not only an alloy material, but also an interstellar precious metal, and a relatively rare one because the raw materials used in its manufacture are the blood of natural life forms.
Li Ming was surfing the Black Hole Network before, and was very surprised when he saw it by chance.
The recipe of this thing comes from a certain indigenous civilization, whose level of civilization is even at the backward stage of slave tribal civilization.
But they have this extremely special boiling blood alloy. The method they use is to regularly use tribes, seriously injured and disabled people, or the elderly as raw materials for casting.
This alloy has extremely strong ductility. When made into armor, it can greatly stimulate the combat capability of living organisms. When accumulated on a large scale, it can even form a special stance that confuses people, that is, a spiritual stance.
After being discovered by an interstellar exploration team, its formula was sold at a sky-high price. It was later continuously improved by multiple civilizations and eventually became the boiling blood alloy.
However, because its production process requires the blood of natural life forms, it has been exposed and has been widely boycotted by interstellar animal protection, environmental protection, human rights protection and other organizations.
"What do you want this thing for?" Li Ming asked.
"Sacrifice Dream - Spurr"
Dreamy—Spurr?
Li Ming pondered for a moment. The Torch Organization's naming of dimensional life forms was very consistent with their abilities.
For example, the realm of eternity, thunder, and space worms.
But this dream sounds extremely strange.
"What abilities do the creatures in this dimension have?" Li Ming asked further.
"Has the ability to make people's dreams come true." Pierre finished speaking.
Li Ming was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed green, but he shook his head.
This is definitely impossible. With such dimensional life forms, how can the Torch Organization still survive?
"What are you going to do with this Spur?" Li Ming asked again.
Pierre's expression was conflicted. After a moment, he shook his head: "I don't know."
Li Ming frowned slightly and looked at the time. Pierre was already alert and could not be hypnotized for too long to avoid him noticing anything unusual.
"Is the Torch the first sacrifice?" he asked quickly.
"no."
“………”
"call…"
A few minutes later, Pierre let out a long sigh, lay back in his chair, his eyes unfocused, and then sighed, "Big move..."
In the shadows, Li Ming digested the news he had just received and felt surprised.
This boiling blood alloy was sent by Kovis, the guy who looks exactly like Connet.
It is the main raw material for sacrificing the dream - Sperl.
According to Peel, this dimensional being's so-called "dream come true" has great limitations.
The Torch Organization had already conducted a sacrifice not long ago in order to directly create a sublimator.
But this Spurr couldn't do it. Not only that, the last sacrifice was discovered by Asmara, who was furious because of the attack on the laboratory, causing considerable losses to the Torch Organization.
As for the specific purpose of this sacrifice, Pierre was not quite sure, but it seemed to be related to opening the Ascendant ruins.
He didn't know, but Li Ming had a guess in his mind.
"Sublimated particles..."
That Sipur, if I can't make a sublimator, what about those sublimation particles? It's much easier, right?
What about those life forms that have fused sublimated particles?
Li Ming was thoughtful. According to what Pierre said, the conditions for sacrificing this Spur were quite harsh, and one had to be in a specific area to establish contact with it.
In other words, the Torch Organization has to go to the area that Asmara discovered last time.
Peel has realized that the organization's plan has entered the later stages.
But what bothered him most was what happened to him.
He turned on the screen and listened to the previously compiled sentence repeatedly, and wanted to reverse-crack more through its compilation method.
But nothing was found, only a bunch of garbled characters were obtained.
"How could this happen?" Pierre was helpless. During this period of time, he had been trying to contact the dimensional god.
But the other party was obviously unwilling to pay attention to him. Sometimes, he even had the urge to ignore everything, find the leader, and confess everything.
But in the end I had to suppress this thought.
Otherwise, the best outcome for him would be that his memory would be checked by psychic powers, and he might end up dying, dumb and stupid.
…
"This time it's eight hours..." In the corner, Deyes looked at the Thunder who had become active again and recorded the time.
On the screen in front of him, he arranged the time curves of the previous few times through various formula combinations, but there was no pattern, as if it was really just random.
After watching the mechanical body return to the door of Qinglong's room, Deyes went back with a sullen face.
"Hmm... If Connet really wants to use the so-called dream to create a life form with sublimated particles, then it will be difficult to deal with..." Li Ming pondered to himself.
Once Connet has the sublimation particles, he will have a great deal of initiative. Once the sublimator is manufactured, no one will be able to predict his actions.
"How can this be possible?" Li Ming pondered. He certainly couldn't do anything to destroy it himself.
Unfortunately, Pierre has no way to contact the outside world, otherwise it would be much easier.
In the entire Torch Base, only the External Relations Department can communicate with the outside world. Its internal members are in separate areas and rarely appear in other places in the base.
"It seems that Deyes's chance to make a contribution has come again."
"And then there's that batch of Boiling Blood Alloy. Boiling Blood Alloy is quite expensive, and it should be able to extract a lot of metal energy."
Thinking of this, he frowned and shook his head again, "However, if we take 70% of it, there will be problems. They have seen similar materials in Sandro's hands and will contact me as soon as possible."
