[No], not now! Lu Ran heard the pleasant voice that came out of nowhere, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

This time, faced with the breakthrough option of Infinite City, he still temporarily refused.

Because there were a few people surrounding him.

He was chatting with these people.

If I break through during a chat, it would be a bit rude and abrupt...

"Look, look, our Passerby A student can no longer suppress the joy on his face."

"That's right. With such an invention, anyone would be overwhelmed with joy."

President Deng of Capital University of Mechanical Engineering laughed, shook Lu Ran's hand, and said, "Student Lu, you really scared us."

"Yes..." Principal Fu still couldn't believe it: "Speaking of this, Dr. Chengkong should know it..."

"You guys really played a big game..."

"What exactly is that 'elemental life creation device'? I know it's inappropriate to ask these questions, but creating elemental life is still a bit unbelievable. The principle should not be as simple as you described."

"Dear leaders..." Lu Ran smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, "Don't do this, I'm scared..."

"These things cannot be explained clearly in a short time."

"Don't try to test me. I don't intend to keep this technology to myself."

"As I said at the invention competition, such a meaningful technology should not be 'exclusive' to me alone."

"Give me half a month to summarize the research data, okay? After half a month, I will unconditionally hand over all the technologies of the 'Elemental Life Creation Device' that I have sorted out to the country."

Everyone was stunned: !!! Several school leaders looked at each other.

This kind of enlightenment...

You know, generally speaking, if it is a personal mechanical invention, then according to the law, no organization or person can forcibly seize its scientific research results.

Inventors have the right to apply for patents, monopolize a unique technology for a period of time, and even use this technology to start a company and make profits.

Many individual legends have some unique inventions, and then use these inventions to establish long-term cooperation with national organizations and the military, and form trading relationships.

The elemental life creation device, a technology that breaks through the limitations of the times, can obviously bring enormous wealth. However, faced with such a great temptation, Lu Ran actually said that he could hand it over to the country unconditionally.

But it's also true... the child in front of me is just a college student, and perhaps he is more passionate in his heart, so such a choice is not surprising.

"Of course, it will also be shared with Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering unconditionally." Lu Ran said.

"Great!!!" Principal Deng laughed out loud, his mouth wide open: "Student Lu, actually your choice is right."

"Such technology is of great importance, and cooperating with the state is undoubtedly the safest approach."

“Even if you say you’re handing it over to the country for free, can the country treat you unfairly?”

Definitely not.

Not to mention that Lu Ran has unlimited potential. He is only 19 years old and can develop such a device. Who knows what level he can reach in the future.

Furthermore, after handing over such a device, the country did not respond. If another talented mechanic emerges from the private sector in the future, will the other party think of the country first?

Definitely not.

In Principal Deng's opinion, Lu Ran will surely receive super-standard talent treatment by then. He will be praised by the whole country as a model of the Republic, and in the next few years, he will receive various medals. Even if he is a level 4 mechanic for his entire life and cannot make any further breakthroughs, his treatment will definitely be higher than that of most legendary mechanics.

In addition, what made Principal Deng even happier was that Lu Ran did not forget the school.

Although Capital University of Machinery is a research university that is supported by the state, it does not mean that Capital University of Machinery is equal to the state. To be precise, Capital University of Machinery belongs to the state, but the state does not belong to Capital University of Machinery. On the contrary, in Capital University of Machinery, many professors and doctors of mechanical engineering are still eagerly waiting for state funding to conduct research.

If Capital University of Machinery can be connected with the elemental life creation device, then what awaits Capital University of Machinery will be the title of "the best university in the country"!

So how could Principal Deng and others not be happy when Lu Ran said this?

"Student Passerby A, are you sure you want to hand over this technology to the country?" Principal Deng asked again: "If you are sure, we will report it immediately."

"...I have missed several calls, all handled by mechanical assistants. I believe the country has noticed you and someone will be here soon."

"Sure." Lu Ran nodded.

"No, Xiaolu, no, Brother Lu, don't you have any other wishes?" asked Principal Fu.

Lu Ran smiled innocently: "If you insist, there really is one."

"I also said at the competition that I actually want to continue to improve the 'Elemental Life Creation Device' and even use it to create an 'Artificial Elemental God'!"

"However, due to limited research funds and low equipment configuration, the current limit is to create elemental life of low-level extraordinary races."

"And I heard from Mr. Chengkong that she works as a researcher at the 'God Spirit Research Institute'. The God Spirit Research Institute is a place that studies 'artificial gods' and has a lot of research funding."

"So I thought, if I could become a colleague at the Divine Research Institute like my teacher, that would be great..."

“Spiritual researcher!

"That place is not easy to enter."

Principal Deng spoke.

"Looking at the Capital University of Mechanical Engineering, there are many legendary mechanics, but only Dr. Chengkong is a researcher there. Do you know why?"

"Because the Free Mechanical Armament Evolution Technology is very powerful?" Lu Ran guessed.

But it doesn’t feel like that…

"How could it be possible with just this technology?" Principal Fu said with a smile, "Because Dr. Chengkong paid money to use his connections to get in."

Lu Ran: “Ah?”

"That's not quite accurate."

"The creation of a man-made god must involve legendary energy, legendary materials, and legendary resources."

"These resources are the key to studying artificial gods."

"And Dr. Chengkong's family just happened to have an ancestral legendary resource, so the key for her to join the Divine Research Institute and bring in funds was. However, this does not mean that Dr. Chengkong is not capable. On the contrary, she is very capable. The only thing she lacks is age. After being tempered by the Divine Research Institute, it will probably not take long for her to be better than most legendary mechanics."

"I see." Lu Ran nodded.

For example, even if he didn't develop an elemental life creation device, if he went to the Divine Research Institute and told it that he had contracted a lower-level legend, he might be able to join the Divine Research Institute.

However, Lu Ran certainly couldn't do that.

"But you don't have to worry." After talking for a long time, Principal Deng laughed and said, "Using elemental life to create a device... maybe you can become the youngest divine researcher in the Divine Research Institute."

"The Divine Research Institute is the country's most important official research institution at present... The Elemental Life Creation Device... will definitely be taken seriously."

"Just wait and see. Even if you don't mention it, they might react soon and contact you."

"Especially, Dr. Chengkong is still there. Don't tell me that Dr. Chengkong has no involvement in this technology at all, hahahaha."

Lu Ran: “…”

That's not all, she provided a research site...

Next, Lu Ran started to be alone, saying that he wanted to take a rest. Several school leaders left to deal with this stormy incident.

Being alone, Lu Ran let out a long sigh, and felt that his spirit, which had been tense for more than half a month, was completely relaxed. However, the ones who suffered the most were Liudaohua and No. 18.

I don’t know if the reward for this breakthrough mission is worthy of their efforts.

"breakthrough."

After the people left for a while, Lu Ran made a breakthrough with his mind, and instantly became a fifth-level beastmaster, with +1 contract number and +1 skill bar.

The new contract position is undoubtedly reserved for No. 18.

This time, Lu Ran took a look at the "Special Crystal: Mechanical Heart" he had obtained, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise again.

Can you understand the structure, manufacturing method, control method and defects by touching the machine?

It's simply a dream skill for a research-based mechanical life form.

Well worth the SSS rating reward!

It seems that I must terminate the contract of the Beast Taming Space with No. 18 as soon as possible and use the contract card to contract her.

Then, speed integrated this trait into her.

As for the reason, isn’t it simple?

Next, there is a high probability that he will go to the Divine Research Institute.

The various mechanical equipment there probably represent the highest level of this era.

If No. 18 is allowed to touch it all around, doesn't that mean that she = the Divine Research Institute?

Of course, this ability is not unlimited. The higher the level of the mechanical product, the higher the proficiency of the Mechanical Heart required, which may greatly limit No. 18's analysis of the machinery in the Divine Research Institute.

However, no matter how much he could analyze, it would be all in vain. Lu Ran could only say that as long as No. 18 survived, he would absorb mechanical knowledge to death!

If you miss this village, you will miss this shop.

[Beast Taming Skill: Mechanical Transformation…] As for the reward for the beast taming skill, Lu Ran pondered that this skill was not bad, but he probably wouldn’t be able to use it in the short term.

Because the next beast taming skill is Lu Ran is already prepared to learn time and space shielding.

His pets that can go through the first, second, and third stages of evolution in Infinite City have no shortage of opportunities to evolve. Moreover, he is still studying soul evolution.

Perhaps, after using up the evolution opportunities given by Infinite City, you can consider taking your pet a step further through the mechanical system.

The potential of the mechanical system is also not low, and the Mechanical God is proof of this.

But now, instead of pursuing mechanical evolution at this stage, it is better to prepare the characteristics well and not waste the opportunity of "second stage evolution".

Learning a "time and space shield" beast taming skill to enrich your foundation is obviously a better choice.

And then... the most important thing is the epic resources.

Epic bomb!

In fact, Lu Ran wanted to complain from the very beginning.

The reward for the breakthrough mission was actually a bomb, which was really weird.

He felt that it was not as good as enhanced resources! But it was not bad either.

A bomb that can hurt a "lower-level legend" is definitely countless times more powerful than the largest nuclear bomb on Blue Planet.

Lu Ran used the data eye to take a closer look at the function and found that it was indeed the case.

You know, lower-level legends definitely have 100% control over the power of space.

Facing a nuclear bomb, perhaps a space-type pet of dozens of levels could avoid the damage from the explosion, but facing this "Wrath of Nature", it would definitely not work, because it could not only block and shatter space, but also track and lock onto enemies within a certain range.

However, the flaws are also obvious.

The destructive range after its explosion is very large, so it is best to use [clone] [remote control machinery] to throw it at the enemy instead of the main body.

Otherwise, at the moment of explosion, the person who dropped the bomb might also be affected by the power of the bomb and reduced to ashes.

Bombs that do not distinguish between friend and foe will destroy everything around them and are very dangerous.

"I want to use this to clear the legendary secret realm in one go, but the risk is too great. If it affects me, I'll be stupid."

"It might be useful to deal with a powerful enemy, but the problem is, I don't have any enemies at the moment..."

"Oh, the Chaos Dragon God lineage counts as one, but this is not enough to deal with them..."

"I just don't know how stable this thing is. If Ha holds it in his mouth and lets it transform into a 'nuclear explosion sword dog' in the infinite sword domain, it should be quite powerful. As long as the bomb doesn't explode, maybe Ha can try to hurt the legendary creature by holding it in his mouth. But it feels... it's still too dangerous."

"Forget it, let's just leave it there for now. We can then let No. 18, who has merged with the Mechanical Heart, analyze its structure and manufacture a few in batches. If there are more of them, their value will be different."

Lu Ran studied the breakthrough rewards and found that several rewards were indeed closely related to his experience of breaking through the secret realm.

Even the epic mechanical bomb is a combination of elements and machinery.

…………

The Institute of Divine Spirits.

At this moment, most of the mechanical researchers have seen Lu Ran’s entire presentation through the replay of the invention competition.

Dr. Orange Sky is no exception.

After reading it, she leaned back in her chair in confusion, with colleagues standing behind her.

Some of these people are not well-known, but are super mechanics secretly trained by the country. Some of them can cause a violent earthquake in the field of mechanics with just a casual word from the outside world. None of them is below the legendary level, and they are all super elites among the legendary level.

They all looked at Cheng Kong very seriously...

"Little Orange, explain."

"Yes, it is said that this boy is your student?"

"Are you planning to make some big news behind our backs?"

"Seniors, if I say that I know nothing about it, would you believe it???" Cheng Kong said weakly.

"I just gave him my free mechanical weapon evolution results to study on his own..."

"I didn't even know that he had a contract with elemental life."

"I do know that it has a machine used for research by a lower-level Overlord race, but that doesn't mean they can create such a device... I don't understand."

Director Lin En stood in the middle of the crowd and said, "Forget it, those are not important."

"Xiao Cheng, go and bring your student to the 'Divine Spirit Research Institute'. Although the procedures have not yet been approved, if he is willing, he can become a researcher at the Divine Spirit Research Institute."

"I, I understand, Director." Dr. Chengkong nodded, still a little confused at the moment.

You know, she was able to enter the Divine Research Institute thanks to a legendary resource of unknown function left by her grandfather, but this passerby... what's going on.

"I'll contact him first..."

…………

The capital of the Star-Moon Republic.

Outside the Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, there are already many luxury cars and luxurious aircraft parked.

Many official departments and technology companies came to visit Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

Without thinking, you know that the purpose is to meet Stranger A.

That evil student who reopened the Elemental Age...

However, Capital University of Machinery certainly cannot let Lu Ran show up at this moment. From now on, the only institution that can contact Lu Ran, in the view of Capital University of Machinery, is the institution that represents the highest will of the country.

At present, the first highest unit to contact Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering is the "Institute of Divine Studies".

Today, the Star-Moon Republic has "three epic mechanics". If nothing unexpected happens, their contributions to the Republic will be recorded like an epic story even thousands of years later.

One of them has completely transformed into a digital life and integrated into the mechanical world. She supervises, restricts, and maintains the mechanical forbidden weapons created by humans that are capable of destroying the Star-Moon Republic hundreds of times. She is the Sword Bearer of the Republic.

The second one is also an epic mechanic who has successfully transformed into a robot. He is now the ruler of the Republic and has devoted himself to the construction of the Republic. He deals with important matters almost all day long, and even pays personal attention to the development of a town.

The third one is Lin En, the epic mechanic who is now the director of the God Institute and has devoted his life to the pursuit of the realm of mechanical gods...

When everyone was looking for Lu Ran, no one knew that Lu Ran had been secretly transferred away by Dr. Chengkong.

"Sure enough, I knew that the Divine Research Institute would definitely absorb this passerby A."

"After all, when Director Lin En heard that Passerby A was planning to hand in the Elemental Life Creation Device, he was very satisfied with this child."

"I don't know if the Divine Research Institute will be willing to let Passerby A share his technology with the Mechanical University after he becomes a Divine Researcher."

"No matter what, the Mechanical University has made a lot of money this time."

After Principal Deng and the others saw us off, they were very excited.

Of course, besides them, there is another group of people whose hearts are in negative turmoil.

This time, only one trial-taker was allowed to break through the secret realm. The one-tenth breakthrough rate and the final result made the other nine trial-taker feel a little weird.

Especially Mark, who thought he was infallible, had the most mental breakdown. He didn't expect that after copying the invention of the Death Gun master, he was still beaten.

No, it wasn't a beating, but a crushing utter annihilation.

It is conceivable that once the information about the breakthrough in the secret realm spreads to the Star-Moon Federation, the mechanic group in the Federation, no, the entire Star-Moon Federation, will be shocked.

After all, the Star-Moon Federation inherited a lot of mechanical knowledge from the Star-Moon Republic, but Blue Star... is a planet where the level of mechanical technology is in a barbaric state.

The result... the result is that in such a place, someone has created an invention that can start a new era. This is definitely a huge blow to the Star-Moon Federation.

"The Condor Federation is finished."

The trial participants on the Blue Star side were also a little dazed. They found it strange that the "Father of Blue Star Machinery" had a bet with the "Father of Blue Star Undead".

After this return, I am afraid that Lu Ran will completely look down on the mechanical technology that the President of the Condor Federation is betting on.

In addition, Lu Ran might get a new title.

"Father of Blue Star Elements!"

…………

"teacher………"

At the same time, on a spaceship jumping in space.

Lu Ran touched the armrest, trying to communicate more with Dr. Chengkong.

"Don't call me teacher... I can't bear it."

Dr. Chengkong pursed his lips, drove the spaceship, took a deep breath and said, "The call just now was too short. Can you tell me what happened now?"

Lu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It seems that Dr. Orange is not the only one who has said, "Don't call me teacher!"

"I can't explain that."

"Anyway, my parents left me a lot of things, including a lightsaber dog and a robot, and an elemental life."

"And just like I said in the invention contest..."

"I asked No. 18 to use the elemental life left by his parents to tinker with it and created the device."

"No. 18 and I are also confused."

"You guys..." At this moment, Dr. Chengkong was speechless. He didn't know whether to praise Lu Ran and the others for their talent or for their luck.

If Lu Ran's parents hadn't died, she would really like to meet the two people who left so many precious pets for Lu Ran.

Do you lack a daughter?

She thought the legends passed down in her family were exaggerated enough.

But here at Lu Ran, it feels almost the same.

The spacecraft is moving very fast.

In just a few minutes, Lu Ran and his friends arrived at the Island of Gods.

At this moment, Lu Ran naturally knew the reason why Dr. Chengkong brought him here.

In this regard, Lu Ran can only say...

The plan worked! The Spiritual Research Institute that he had been dreaming about for the past ten days finally let him in.

When faced with the invitation from Dr. Chengkong on behalf of Director Lin En to "join the Divine Research Institute", Lu Ran accepted it almost without saying a word.

"welcome."

When the spacecraft jumped to the Island of Gods, Lu Ran also realized his own importance. Seven or eight people had gathered outside the landing point of the spacecraft, as if they were welcoming him from the outside world. It was quite a big scene.

"The director and some colleagues value your research results very much. Except for a few who are not good at socializing and are immersed in research, almost everyone is here." said Dr. Chengkong.

Lu Ran followed Dr. Chengkong off the spaceship. Leading the crowd was a white-haired old man.

"Hello everyone……"

After Lu Ran came down, he immediately greeted the group of legends in white research robes.

"Student Passerby A?" Director Lin En, who was in the lead, looked at Lu Ran with a smile and said, "Since ancient times, geniuses have emerged from youth. I believe Dr. Chengkong has already told you, so I'll repeat it here."

"I watched your invention competition demonstration and was very interested in your idea of ​​creating an 'artificial elemental god'. So, are you interested in joining the 'God Research Institute' and becoming a member of our team to explore how to create an 'artificial god'?"

"With your talent, I believe you have enough endurance and ability to pursue this path. As you said, what you lack may just be some 'support', right?"

"Of course!" Lu Ran showed an excited expression and said, "The Divine Research Institute is the dream of every mechanic."

"I will cooperate with you seniors in the research."

“Don’t worry.” Director Lin En said, “As a newcomer to the Divine Research Institute, the first thing you need to do is to understand the Divine Research Institute.”

"Next, let Dr. Chengkong introduce them to you one by one."

"Everyone, please stop gathering here. Your enthusiasm will scare the passerby classmate A. We will be colleagues next. There is plenty of time for communication. Let Dr. Chengkong take him to know our institute first. In this process, he will slowly get to know you."

"Okay, that's what the director said."

"Hey, if my kid was half as smart as Mr. Youlu."

After Director Lin En finished speaking, the group of mechanics, the youngest of whom was in his thirties, laughed. Among them, there was even an old man who seemed to be hesitant to talk to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran estimated that the other party should be very interested in the elemental life creation device.

[Wait a moment, I will visit them one by one and give each of them a few elemental spirits.]

[These little elves are lives born from breaking through the secret realm, and are also part of the historical projection. They are probably impossible to bring out of the secret realm. Instead of disappearing directly at that time, it is better to give them to these divine researchers as a greeting gift. ]

[As an elder, you won't refuse to return the gift, right? ]

Lu Ran made up his mind, but Dr. Chengkong had already pulled him away and said, "I'll take you to your exclusive research institute."

"The Island of Gods is very large, no smaller than a city. Every researcher has several independent research institutes of their own. In addition, there is also a headquarters of the Gods Research Institute here."

"As a newcomer, the institute currently only has infrastructure. However, even though it is infrastructure, it is better than the one I left at the Mechanical University. If you need any mechanical equipment in the future, you can apply for it separately."

"Director Lin En asked me to introduce you to the Divine Research Institute. I will introduce it to you."

Lu Ran nodded, said "hmm", followed her into a car, and listened to her slowly.

"Currently, the Divine Research Institute has 'three' artificial god research directions."

"Do you know which three they are?"

“…Which three?”

"The first, the development of a legendary research-type mechanical life form!!!"

"Put all the resources of a country to build a legendary research machine!"

"Then, with the help of its research capabilities, we can mass-produce combat-type legendary machines."

"Unfortunately, it has not been successful yet."

"The gap between quasi-legend and legend is difficult to cross."

"The highest race of mechanical life that humans can create is only a quasi-legend. At present, we can only let them devour each other, increase their mechanical power, and evolve like raising insects."

Lu Ran was silent, wondering if he had arrived too early.

If the Divine Spirit Research Institute has not even created a lower-level legendary mechanical life, then the project to create the Mechanical Lord God has not even begun? "The second one is the legendary human transformation."

"By transforming humans into machines, using the power of machines, humans can enter the realm of legends. Then, legendary cyborgs will use the power of mechanical space to cultivate legendary life."

"According to historical records, in that legendary battle between the God of Plants and the God of Beasts, there was a legendary plant master who demonstrated power enough to fight against legendary life."

Lu Ran nodded.

He knew that the Star-Moon Republic would eventually succeed on this path!

In history, a legendary mechanic was indeed born.

"The third one is the legendary cloning and transformation evolution!!!" Dr. Chengkong said seriously while racing, "I currently belong to this school."

"A few decades before the founding of the Star-Moon Republic, the Plant God camp, headed by the main god-level plant life tree, and the Beast God camp, headed by the main god-level animal life Chaos Dragon God, had just ended a long legendary war!"

"In that battle, both the God Tree camp and the Beast God camp suffered heavy losses."

"Many neutral legendary beings were even forced to get involved in the war."

"Although there are no exact statistics, there were many legendary lives lost in that battle."

"Therefore, many 'legendary resources' were born in the world."

"For example, during the war between the Chaos Dragon God and the Divine Tree, a drop of the most ordinary blood dripped by the Chaos Dragon God, blood that the Chaos Dragon God himself didn't care about, was enough to reach legendary quality..."

“It was a disaster, but it was also an opportunity for all things.”

"In the war between gods, epic resources are everywhere, and legendary resources are not surprising. Perhaps a sudden blood rain can collect a lot of god blood. With the help of these resources, humans will rise rapidly. Both camps have no energy to pay attention to small bugs like humans at the moment."

"In short, during this stage, humans accumulated a huge amount of advanced resources."

“Until now, there are still many legendary resources that have been preserved.”

"In fact, the main reason is that the resources on many legendary beasts, even if they have reached the legendary level, humans and pets cannot withstand such powerful power and cannot absorb it, so they can only be preserved."

"My ancestors also obtained a legendary material. Although it is of a high level, it cannot be used to breed a pet."

"Just like a human child cannot eat the stars."

"But with the advancement of technology today, many sealed legendary bloods, legendary organs, and even a single hair have finally become valuable resources!!"

"With the help of technology, humans are finally able to study and use them."

"Right now, our group of researchers are trying to use 'cloning technology' to extract the genes of legendary beasts from legendary resources, and try to create 'quasi-legendary races' of legendary beast clones."

"Then, through mechanical transformation and evolution, make it a mechanical animal god!!!"

"This is not a secret. I'll tell you in secret that the Divine Research Institute has already had a successful case. They have successfully cloned a quasi-legendary species that looks like a legendary divine beast."

"Wait, teacher, did you just say the blood of the Chaos Dragon God???"

"The Divine Research Institute, there won't be such a thing, right???"

"Hmm? Yes... There is indeed the blood of the Chaos Dragon God in the Divine Research Institute, but the power of the Lord's blood is too strong, and the three epic mechanic seniors have forbidden us from researching it."

"That kind of blood, even if it comes into contact with a high-level Overlord, will instantly collapse..."

"Hey, I wonder when we will have enough knowledge to study them... By studying the resources of the Lord God, I wonder if the Republic can also create a mechanical Lord God, haha..."

“Fuck.”

Infinite City Dad, I wronged you, is there really the blood of the Chaos Dragon God???
