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 464 Secrets Everywhere

"Descendants of Titan..." Li Ming stared at the piece of metal wreckage in front of him and murmured softly.

Florian knew nothing about the origins of that group of people, but Li Ming was not the same. He was just testing them before.

"The Titans actually have descendants." He was quite surprised.

He had previously thought that everything related to Titan was destroyed.

Li Ming speculated secretly: "But I haven't heard of it in this star field. It's so secretive. Could it be from somewhere else?"

"Other star regions? They survived because they were far away from the center of the disaster?"

"And this Trial of Glory. The Titans seem to have quite a few trials. I don't know what my trial is called, the Trial of the Holy Castle? But it's definitely harder than this Trial of Glory..."

Li Ming was thinking about it and kept this matter in mind for the time being.

The value of this descendant of the Titan is extraordinary. After all, many things about the Terrax civilization are still secrets.

"What secrets does Clyde have that warrant an ambush..." Li Ming put away the wreckage, his eyes flashing.

With their means, they can naturally leave this place at any time.

So, when Florian came back, the three of them left the barbecue shop and boarded the small aircraft.

"Are you two so low-key?" Li Ming followed Florian to their ship and couldn't help but be surprised.

The spaceship in front of him was quite dilapidated, and there were even some pieces of repaired iron sheets.

He also hides his identity, but there is no need for him to take such a dilapidated spaceship. The relevant infrastructure may not be able to keep up.

Li Ming is not willing to put himself in a difficult position unless it is necessary.

Florian was hunched over, his face unclear, but his calm voice echoed: "As long as the spacecraft is usable, that's all."

After Clyde packed up some things from the spaceship and erased the navigation log and other things, they moved to Li Ming's spaceship.

Their broken spaceship didn't even have a co-orbital navigation system, so it was temporarily abandoned here. The three of them were on the same spaceship.

Li Ming's spaceship belongs to the Yunnian series of the Mechanical Royal Court. It is small but exquisite.

It can accommodate up to five people, and if they are a little crowded, it can accommodate ten people. All kinds of infrastructure are quite complete.

As soon as he stepped into the cabin, the silent lights slowly lit up, accompanied by Suzaku's soft voice: "Master, welcome back..."

"Record the basic characteristics of the two visitors, Florian and Clyde." Li Ming gave the order casually. The interior decoration was quite simple, basically a silver-white metal structure, with occasional black paint.

Clyde looked around with envy in his heart, because there was no such spaceship in their exile fleet.

"Yes..." Suzaku's shadow landed on Li Ming's shoulder. "Mr. Florian, your room is number three. Mr. Clyde, your room is number four. You two can call me at any time to inquire about anything."

At the same time, the spacecraft has started to operate, passing directly past a large number of queued spacecraft and starting space coating.

Clyde looked around, with a hint of curiosity, but also very restrained, and followed Florian honestly.

Florian stood in front of the porthole, quietly looking at the star gate not far away, and pondered in his heart: "Shouldn't we intercept it..."

"What would you like to eat, gentlemen?" Li Ming asked with a polite smile. "By the way, Star Stream Black Snake is also on the menu."

Clyde was surprised, "Star Stream Black Snake is here too?"

Li Ming nodded. "Yes, I had my mechanical bodies completely replicate Fett's technique. I also purchased some related ingredients and raw materials and sent them to the spacecraft a long time ago."

"However, it's hard to say how much of the flavor can be restored. Do you want to try it?"

Clyde's throat rolled. He had to admit that the Star Stream Black Snake was indeed delicious. He thought he would not be able to eat it after leaving.

Although he was tempted, he still looked at Florian.

Florian hesitated. After what had just happened, he didn't want Clyde out of his sight.

But Li Ming is also a young man, and he was shameless enough to insist on going with him, which was somewhat disrespectful to Qinglong.

After thinking about it, he nodded. Clyde then said to Li Ming, "Sorry for the trouble."

The spacecraft has been space-coated and is heading towards the stargate, and Florian's vigilance has reached its peak.

“It tastes almost exactly the same.”

In the cafeteria, Clyde looked surprised. On the silver metal plate, the Star Stream Black Snake was placed.

"This machine is truly impressive." He looked behind the table at the machine wearing a chef's hat. The machine smiled slightly, took off its hat, and said, "Thank you for your approval, sir."

"Your Excellency Qinglong is indeed worthy of being a master craftsman." Clyde admired him, but his eyes were a little distracted.

If they can get help from these mechanical bodies, it should reduce a lot of casualties and be of great help in all aspects.

The mechanical bodies of the Mechanical Royal Court have become quite famous in the interstellar space. Thanks to the 10 billion bounty, no one has claimed it yet, even Clyde and others have heard of it.

For an exiled organization like theirs, a mechanical body that can keep secrets is perfect.

But the Mechanical Royal Court only operates in the Chaos Star Gap, and they have no channels to rent it.

He glanced at Li Ming, who was sitting opposite him and watching the news, and couldn't help but sigh, "This is the first time I've ridden a spaceship that can connect to the interstellar network through a stargate."

Li Ming paused, put down the smart terminal in his hand, turned off the screen, and the silhouette that flashed across the screen seemed to be Clyde.

Li Ming looked up and laughed, "You're not very good at flattering people. Just say what you want to say."

Clyde was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I want to rent some mechanical bodies."

Li Ming's eyes flickered slightly. He was curious about this Clyde, so this was a good excuse to test him. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Small question, how much do you want?"

"Well..." Clyde pondered, "We are still an exiled fleet, defined as a terrorist organization by civilization. So, if you want to trade with us..."

Li Ming interrupted calmly: "Don't worry, the Mechanical Royal Court is based in the chaotic interstellar gap and is not subject to the jurisdiction of any civilization. We can trade with whoever we want."

Clyde's heart was slightly shaken. These words were so domineering. When would they have such capital?

"First, rent... rent a thousand... not a combat type, just an auxiliary type that can be used for basic industrial manufacturing... how much is it?" Clyde asked hesitantly.

"One thousand? That's too little." Li Ming frowned, "It should be at least ten thousand."

Clyde's face was gloomy and he felt helpless. They had limited star coins, which were basically the currency of their own civilization. Adding to the daily maintenance expenses, they really didn't have much spare money.

However, he also knew in his heart that the profit of this amount might not even be as much as other people's shipping costs.

"Give me an address and have someone send 10,000 yuan over first. If it's not enough, tell me again." Li Ming added.

Clyde smiled bitterly, "Sir, the star coins we have..."

"What I mean is, you can use it first, and when you have money, you can calculate the rent separately." Li Ming said casually.

"This..." Clyde was stunned. "This, isn't good."

"It's nothing bad, just ten thousand machines."

Li Ming said it lightly, but Clyde's expression changed. In fact, he knew in his heart that the problems faced by their exile fleet were not worth mentioning at all to a big man like Qinglong, or even to Li Ming.

"Please rest assured, we will pay you what you deserve." Clyde said solemnly.

Li Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "However, since you are already a student of His Excellency Florian, you should be able to directly utilize the resources of the Holy Revolutionary Army."

Clyde shook his head. "The Holy Revolutionary Army has provided a lot of support, but ultimately this is still our own problem. They can only provide corresponding support, but they won't help us win."

Li Ming had heard a little bit about the Holy Revolutionary Army's program. It was a unique concept, developed after years of resistance.

Don't support a race that has no will to resist.

Whether it is resistance or suppression, if we rely too much on the power of other civilizations instead of fighting them out forcefully, it will leave profound consequences.

There are a lot of such cases in the universe.

"I see..." Li Ming mentioned this matter casually, just to find a topic to continue the conversation.

With his enthusiastic assistance, Clyde naturally told him everything he knew.

In front of the porthole, Florian's dark pupils reflected the bright blue spatial energy of the stargate passage.

"He really didn't do anything?" He was surprised and puzzled. The man called the Spirit Head didn't attack their spaceship. He just watched them enter the star gate.

not sure?

He frowned. He had no idea of ​​the strength of the spirit leader, but the strange castle should occupy a considerable part of it.

Now that he is in the outside world, the threat posed by the opponent has been greatly reduced. With Qinglong, the opponent should not be able to succeed.

Thinking of this, he guessed that the other party's strength should not be too high, and he felt slightly relieved.

But the hidden worries in my heart did not fade away. The other party's origins were unknown, and it seemed that they had some way to predict their navigation route and wait here early. This method was hard to guard against.

"Clyde has only been awakened for three years, and I spent a lot of money to find him. How did the other party know Clyde's secret..."

"Teacher..." a voice came from behind. Florian turned around. "Have you finished eating?"

Clyde was a little embarrassed, and Florian asked again: "How was your conversation?"

When Clyde mentioned this, his expression was slightly shocked and he was quite excited.

"Li Ming comes from a lower class background and knows the hardships of ordinary life forms. He even has many of the same experiences as me. I share many of his ideas, and even have a feeling..."

He pounded his hands, and Florian added, "What a pity, we couldn't have met sooner?"

"Yes!" Clyde nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "I feel that you should recruit him into the Holy Revolutionary Army."

Florian looked at the extremely excited Clyde and sighed in his heart. They were talking about past experiences, and Li Ming should have dug out all the information about Clyde.

He was not surprised. After meeting the spirit leader, Qinglong must be very curious about Clyde, so it was understandable to let Li Ming test him.

However, Clyde himself didn't know anything, which was why he felt at ease letting Clyde talk to Li Ming.

"But..." Clyde's excited expression froze.

"What's wrong?" Florian's heart tightened slightly.

"He asked some strange questions," Clyde said blankly. "He asked me if I had any strange dreams when I was a child, and if my parents left me any rings or anything like that."

Florian's eyes narrowed slightly. "How did you answer?"

"No." Clyde shook his head and added, "Really not."

Florian's dark eyes fell on Clyde, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Clyde nodded, but his expression didn't change.

"Tsk tsk..." Li Ming looked at the information in front of him, "In three years, he went from being a servant's son to becoming a Class B life form. This speed is not slow."

Combining what Clyde said himself and some information found on the interstellar network, he has roughly grasped all the known information about Clyde.

He is well-known in his native civilization and even in several nearby civilizations, and has the rumored title of Skywalker.

It means "savior, savior" or something like that.

"Development potential, level 45..." Li Ming's gaze fell on the testing equipment beside him. There was half a tube of blood on the table next to him.

This was the blood he drew from Clyde. Of course, he used his ability to control objects to prevent the other party from noticing.

Li Ming pondered, "This development potential is quite high. It's impossible that it hadn't been detected before. The governor of his planet is not incompetent. It's impossible for him to deliberately suppress such a talent."

"In other words, it is very likely that he only had this development potential more than three years ago."

Without more advanced instruments and equipment, he couldn't analyze the blood in front of him, so he could only throw it into the folded space.

Florian and the unknown X-class life form are both very interested in Clyde. This kid must have a big secret.

"It's not a good idea to bring a burden to a place like Red River Star Stream. It's most likely that this trip is for Clyde." Li Ming stroked his chin.

Although he was quite curious, he did not stimulate Florian's idea and put it aside for the time being.

During the rest of the voyage, Li Ming communicated with Clyde from time to time and also chatted a lot with Florian.

After a few days, they completed the second half of the journey and arrived at the Kamendar Star Gate Node, which is the closest star gate transit station to the Red River Star Stream and is privately operated.

The Red River Star City is not far from Kamendar and can be reached in two or three days by advancing sailing.

This was the first time Li Ming came to Honghexingliu after several years.

This place is considered to be the lower reaches of the Red River Star Stream.

"The impact of the Red River catastrophe is indeed obvious. Although this place is on the outskirts of the Red River star stream, it looks no different from the outside starry sky." Li Ming stood in front of the porthole, and the outside world was desolate.

The most obvious sign of the Red River Star Stream is the magnetic cloud formed by various void undercurrents and unique environment, but it is almost invisible now.

Even the external communication signals are quite stable.
