Dr. Chengkong stopped the car suddenly and looked at Lu Ran who was startled.

Lu Ran also covered his mouth, and then said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'm too surprised. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the research institute."

"Since there is the Chaos Dragon God, is there any branches of the sacred tree or something..."

Dr. Chengkong said: "Why are you asking so many questions? These are still too far away from you. You should think about your own research path first."

"Traditional machinery, cyborgs, clone legends... But I don't think you will specialize in any one of them."

"After all, you said it yourself, the combination of elemental life and mechanical system... will open up another track."

"You are right. Elemental life is the race that is closest to the structure of the world, the rules of the world, and the most likely to achieve innate gods. You must specialize in the study of elemental life, right?"

Lu Ran nodded slightly.

"Then, the Divine Research Institute will soon have a fourth research department." Dr. Chengkong looked at Lu Ran and said, "This is one of the reasons why Director Lin En values ​​you..."

"It is impossible to focus on one direction when studying artificial gods. Only by exploring multiple tracks can we have more hope."

"Also, do you know why everyone in the institute values ​​you so much?"

Lu Ran said: "It's definitely not because of elemental life. Teachers, you have been deeply engaged in your research field for many years. It is absolutely impossible for you to rashly change your research direction and come to study the element system."

"What most people want to know is why the device can give rise to elemental life."

"From the perspective of outsiders, elemental life has been unable to be born for a long time and is extremely difficult to be born. After all, the era of elemental gods has ended, and the rules of the world are no longer suitable for elemental life."

"And it is said that life is extremely difficult to be born. After all, their existence is equivalent to stealing the power of the world."

"The birth of both is a challenge to the existing 'world rules'."

"Therefore, how to find inspiration for creating legendary life from the elemental life group and the elemental life creation device is what everyone is most concerned about."

"Yes, you are very smart." Dr. Chengkong smiled and said, "So your act of sharing this technology is equivalent to all the researchers here owing you a big favor. Regardless of whether we can find the corresponding inspiration in the end, this is at least a new hope."

"I will ask No. 18 to summarize the technology in detail as soon as possible... Actually..." Lu Ran said: "Actually, although the elemental life creation device is also very complicated, I feel that the most important thing is energy."

"The elemental life creation device is not yet perfect. The energy it uses is scarce, and I only obtained it by chance. So the birth of this technology is largely due to luck."

“If we don’t find an alternative energy source, the machine may not be able to operate when the energy it uses is exhausted.”

"Just now, I heard you get excited when you mentioned the blood of God, that's why..."

"Because the scarce resource I obtained seems to be the juice of some legendary plant life, which is also one of the resources left by my parents."

"So I was wondering, is it possible for the blood of the Lord God to replace this juice and serve as an energy source to directly create the elemental life of the legendary race!"

"After all, the juice I obtained seemed to be of relatively low quality. After being diluted and used as energy, it would only be of rare quality."

"The blood of the Lord God, blood of legendary quality, is definitely better than that juice."

"Teacher, can I apply to use the blood of the Chaos Dragon God to research alternative energy sources?"

[Six Flower: ???]

[If you want to cheat for resources, just cheat for resources. Why do you want to praise one and step on the other? ]

Liudaohua almost broke Lu Ran's contract card from the inside.

"I should have thought of it earlier." Dr. Chengkong was stunned and rubbed her temple. After Lu Ran said this, she felt it made more sense. Otherwise, it was too outrageous for Lu Ran to develop such an exaggerated device in just over ten days.

It requires scarce energy from legend, which cannot be regenerated. The creation of the machine is largely a matter of luck, so it is a semi-finished product and not perfect. This is relatively reasonable.

Lu Ran might be just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

However, it is still very strong. As the saying goes, luck is also a part of strength.

Even the birth of the Department of Mechanical Engineering was due to luck, which is nothing.

"Now that you have joined the Divine Research Institute, your research funding is almost unlimited."

"You can research alternative energy sources."

"Even so long as it is used for meaningful research rather than personal use, it is not impossible for legendary resources to be invested in research after approval. After all, these resources are meant for our research."

"But you came right up and asked for the Lord's blood. Are you crazy? You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers." Dr. Chengkong said: "Although I have never seen the Lord's blood, I have heard of its power."

"The divinity emanating from just one drop of blood is enough to cause non-legendary creatures below level 100 to collapse."

"In order to seal and preserve that drop of blood, the ancestors of the human race spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources."

"If you rashly research that, it may bring disasters that you cannot imagine. I say, even if you want to study alternative energy, you should start with the resources left behind by more common legendary creatures. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be scared to death by a drop of blood."

Lu Ran: “…”

A drop of blood can really make a hero fall.

Damn it, how can I get the blood of Chaos Dragon God… Lu Ran was in a hurry.

"Teacher, why don't you drive?"

"We have arrived early, get off the bus."

“…”

…………

Next, Dr. Chengkong brought Lu Ran into his research institute. After arranging Lu Ran’s accommodation, he took out a list and introduced other researchers in the Divine Research Institute to Lu Ran one by one.

"Okay, you take a rest here first. I'll take care of some things for you. If you have any other questions, I'll come back to you."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Next, Dr. Chengkong said goodbye to Lu Ran, and Lu Ran, like a dazed little shark, leaned aimlessly on his seat.

In this era, let alone the Mechanical God, even artificial gods have not been created, and they are not as good as him. At least he has a lower-level legendary pet.

Lu Ran was very disappointed.

But he was only disappointed for a moment. After learning that the Divine Research Institute even had the blood of the Chaos Dragon God, Lu Ran was no longer disappointed, but very excited.

I really want this thing.

If the Divine Turtle is purified and given to the King of Sudden Death as an evolutionary resource, then the King of Sudden Death will definitely become a legendary race.

Because he was too concerned about this, he was absent-minded when Dr. Chengkong introduced him to the research institute and other seniors.

Because it seems that the blood of the main god is really difficult to obtain.

Even the Divine Research Institute does not currently have the ability to study it.

Although Lu Ran had just found a "legitimate" excuse, he felt that with this, it was unlikely to get the application in just a few days.

After all, I am still a newcomer.

Even for the sake of their own safety, the Divine Research Institute would probably never give him the blood of the Lord God.

"Liuhua, what should we do?" Lu Ran asked Liuhua.

"It's cold." Liuhua responded in the card: "Although I have never seen the Chaos Dragon God, the blood of the Lord God is indeed a bit exaggerated. Are you sure that the guy Sudden Death King can bear it? Will he really die suddenly?"

Lu Ran said: "It's just a drop of ordinary blood, not the opponent's reverse scale blood. As long as the divine turtle can purify it, the sudden death king may be able to absorb it. But no matter whether it can be purified or absorbed, it would be a pity to miss such a chance to obtain such a resource."

"I have a plan..."

Suddenly, Lu Ran spoke faintly, "Liuhua, can you cooperate?"

Liudaohua:?

"What are you going to do?"

"It feels like it's extremely difficult to get blood through normal application channels."

"Why don't we just rely on trickery?"

"ah?"

Lu Ran analyzed seriously: "Think about it, in the original historical trajectory, you were the comrade-in-arms of the sacred tree who opened the plant age, and the ancestor of the plant god lineage."

"When the day comes for you to return, you will disguise yourself and appear at the Divine Research Institute as the 'God of the Six Paths of Reincarnation'."

"I told the Divine Spirit Research Institute that the Divine Tree needs to recycle the 'Blood of the Chaos Dragon God' it produced."

"Faced with a request from a main god, the Divine Research Institute shouldn't dare to refuse..."

"Besides, it is not necessary to force recycling. We can just paint a big picture for the Divine Research Institute or something."

"Even if we fail, we can delay the time and return directly without any aftermath. Even if there is an accident along the way, with the help of the Time Fruit and Limit Breakthrough, the power you unleash will be unstoppable. Combined with the space-time shield, it will be enough for us to hide until we return."

Liudaohua: ???

"Is this possible? I'm Liudaohua, not Liarhua."

Lu Ran said eagerly: "I really can't think of any other way. We can't just rob it. The Divine Research Institute is definitely capable of blasting us into scum."

"Your comrade from the Divine Tree, the God of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, is actually his greatest weapon!"

"Although you are dead, as the God of Reincarnation, it is not surprising that you are reincarnated and resurrected."

"We can even not lie and make up a story with a bunch of truth. After all, your identity is real..."

"Damn it, you know I'm the God of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, yet you let me do such a bad thing..."

"Um, bad things?"

"Yes, we can harvest another wave of evil power."

"That's a happy decision!" Lu Ran and Liu Daohua hit it off and regarded this plan as their final trump card.

…………

Inside the institute.

After Lu Ran and Liu Daohua finished their plan, they immediately summoned No. 18.

“Hehe~” No. 18 put his hands on his hips and flew in the air, saying, “I didn’t expect that the results of my invention would shock an entire generation.”

"Compared to the 17 robots of the same model in front of me, I am much better."

Lu Ran was speechless.

He didn't set an initial personality for No. 18 or anything.

Why has this guy become so narcissistic these days.

However, judging from the research results of No. 18, it seems that he is indeed worthy of this narcissism.

"Okay, No. 18 is the best." Lu Ran said, "Then let's cancel the contract."

"ah?"

"Cancel the contract with the Beast Taming Space so that I can use the contract card to contract you. Then, I will fuse this 'Mechanical Heart' with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will become stronger!"

“Oh~~~”

Next, Lu Ran started to put it into practice. It was the first time for him to cancel a contract. Compared with signing a contract, this was much more painful, just like pulling off an arm.

After the contract was terminated, No. 18 did not react much, but Lu Ran was sweating all over, gasping for breath and covering his head.

Fortunately, he had known that this day would come, and he had prepared a lot of supplements to heal the spiritual realm. In addition, Liudaohua also helplessly released a soothing fragrance in the contract card.

Although it is not her main skill, she has integrated many attributes and can even wipe out the enemy's mind, so it is not difficult for her to soothe the spirit of a living being.

With the help of supplements and the Six Paths Flower, Lu Ran quickly recovered from the side effects of the contract termination and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Lu Ran!" Suddenly, Liudaohua spoke on the contract card.

"What's wrong."

"I suddenly thought of a way to allow you to evolve into plant life!"

"Um???"

"You and No. 18 are only terminating their contracts normally, but the side effects are so severe. If the pet dies or the pet breaks free and escapes, the beastmaster will probably have to lie in bed for a year or two and suffer a mental breakdown!"

"For example, I can break free from the contract at any time. With my strength, you will definitely evolve into a 'vegetable' by then." Liudao Hanamichi.

Lu Ran: ????

"Could you please stop telling some hell jokes, they're not funny at all."

"Besides, you signed the contract with a contract card! Even if you defect, only the contract card will be broken. The impact on me will not be that great!"

"Tsk, that's boring..."

Lu Ran nearly had a myocardial infarction. He took out the contract card he had just issued and threw it at the floating No. 18.

In a flash, the contract is completed! [Race]: Mechanical Angel (Research Type)

[Attribute]: Mechanical [Race Level]: Low Overlord [Growth Level]: Level 55

Whether she was able to research the epic lightsaber, the Scourge Pistol, or the elemental life-creating device, it was all thanks to the first two talents.

As for the third shutdown state, it is actually similar to the hibernation of ordinary animals and the slumber of ancient supernatural overlords.

Once she enters shutdown mode, even if she sleeps for hundreds of years, she can still move freely after waking up and repairing herself.

"It feels like it's a little more comfortable than the mechanical space!"

After entering the contract card, No. 18 gave feedback.

Lu Ran sighed, normal...

After all, his mechanical space was simply modified according to the voluntary teaching methods on the Internet.

As for the contract cards that had just been issued, after Lu Ran got them, he basically upgraded them to the highest quality using upgrade cards, so it was natural that he felt comfortable staying there.

The contract card just issued is of black iron quality and has no special effects.

Lu Ran has used 1,111 upgrade cards to upgrade it to silver, gold, diamond, and star quality.

New effects added include physical recovery, slow healing, accelerated growth, and time pause.

Now, upgrade cards that can be obtained in the Abyss difficulty are no longer rare for Lu Ran. He doesn't even need to challenge them himself, he can get a lot of them by exchanging crystal coins and resources.

The quality of the contract cards of Mr. Ha, King of Death, Crow, Rainbow Dash, Rikka and just now No. 18 have all been upgraded to star quality by Lu Ran.

Compared with the previous effects, the time-stopping effect of the Star Quality Contract Card is quite good.

If the pet is in a dying state and returns to the card, the contract card can pause time for a period of time, providing the beastmaster with a certain amount of reaction time to find treatment resources and treat the pet. However, this time is not too long, but it is also good.

However, currently on Blue Star, apart from the top beastmasters in the big countries, it is estimated that not many people can get a contract card of this quality.

"Okay, let's fuse the traits."

Next, Lu Ran summoned No. 18 and gave her the "Mechanical Heart" trait.

"Oh~~" No. 18 took over the characteristics, and then his whole body was filled with the light of slight evolution.

As a mechanical life form that can be upgraded and evolved, the special crystal, which can become stronger upon contact, undoubtedly makes No. 18 feel very novel... Now she understands, no wonder Lu Ran wanted her to study this, it is indeed incredible.

The fusion of No. 18 caused quite a stir.

But let alone the outside world, even inside the research institute, except for where Lu Ran and the others were, it was quiet.

The main reason is that Lu Ran has already memorized the "Time and Space Shield" skill card.

Space-time shielding (a special beast taming skill. A beast tamer who masters this skill can perfectly shield himself and his pet from all traces, making them undetectable by predictive and reconnaissance abilities. Their fate will be unobservable.)]

With this ability, Lu Ran can actively and passively eliminate all movement around him.

Even if Liuhua were to come out and participate in the fraud, Lu Ran wouldn't have to worry too much about causing any trouble because of the time and space barrier.

After a while, No. 18 successfully integrated the "Mechanical Heart" trait.

But unfortunately, the racial hierarchy has not changed and it is still a low-level overlord.

However, the emergence of new racial talents is definitely inevitable.

The compatibility between a dominant research robot and the Mechanical Heart must be extremely high.

[Racial Talent]: A flash of inspiration (When analyzing the structure of other mechanical products through the "Machine Heart Talent", if the level of the analyzed object exceeds the scope of the analysis ability, there is a probability that the "flash of inspiration" will be triggered, and some mechanical insights will be obtained beyond the level.) "It is God's will..."

Lu Ran looked at No. 18 who was at a loss as to how to accept the new ability and said, "Let's go, take our little elemental cub and visit each of the senior mechanics at the Divine Spirit Research Institute one by one."

"But before that, you should try out the mechanical equipment in the institute first."

…………

I have to say that No. 18's Mechanical Heart is very useful. In the research institute, when she touches some auxiliary mechanical equipment for a moment, many corresponding mechanical structures will emerge in her mind.

Enrich her mechanical knowledge.

However, when touching some of the more advanced research facilities, No. 18 ran into obstacles directly because his level was too low. In this regard, Lu Ran could only exploit a bug and let No. 18 hold the lucky flower in his mouth and touch them continuously, trying to trigger a "flash of inspiration" by relying on the number of times and luck, so that No. 18 could gain as much as possible.

Originally, Lu Ran wanted to take No. 18 to visit his predecessors one by one, but in the process of studying his own research institute, he wasted too much of their time until Dr. Chengkong called them via video.

"A passerby."

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Lu Ran answered the video call, and Dr. Chengkong smiled and said, "First, the reward for the first place in the invention competition. Since you left in a hurry, it didn't reach you in time. Now it has been mailed to the Divine Research Institute. You can come and claim it later."

“Okay.” Lu Ran nodded. The reward for the invention competition was actually Star-Moon Coins, pure cash, a very large amount. It was of no use to Lu Ran now. He would just have to find a way to spend it all and buy some resources here before leaving.

"Secondly, I told Director Lin about your situation. He plans to open up three suitable legendary energy sources and seven suitable epic energy sources to you for your research."

"Tell them you can try to research alternative energy sources first."

"The current 'Elemental Life Creation Device' is not perfect yet. As the inventor of the 'Elemental Life Creation Device', you naturally have the right to continue to improve it on your own."

“比起拿出技术，让其他人负责继续完善，让你本人继续完善，显然对于你，对于18号来说，更有意义。”

“谢谢。”路然点了点头，感谢道。

大部分研究型机械师，都会配备一个“研究型机械生命”。

研究型机械生命想提升等级、提升能力，就得在不断的研究中实践。

完成的发明越厉害，研究型机械生命提升的等级就越多。

18号能这么短时间内达到这么高的等级，这段时间的研究过程功不可没。

现在元素生命创造装置是半成品，林恩所长愿意提供资源，让路然继续研究，说明是给了18号一个快速提升等级的机会。

也就是相当于，让路然和18号【独享研究经验】。

在星月共和国的机械大学中，经常会出现这样的情况，一个研究团队内，一个机械导师和多个学生一起拿着学校研究经费进行的项目，一般情况下，导师根本不会让学生参与到核心研究中，只是让他们打杂、观看，就是为了和自己的研究机械助手能【独享研究经验】，毕竟一个发明如果有多个研究机械助手参与，那么【进行分工研究】的情况下【研究经验】肯定会被分走。

哪怕这些项目本质上就是为了也培养下学生，但潜规则哪里都存在，一些黑心导师总能找到各种借口说法。

现在，林恩所长提供资源，肯让路然独自继续研究，很显然是非常好心且重视路然的成长。

“哎，林恩所长人还怪好的……”

“不过这是突破秘境中，主神之血还是得想办法获取，不然到时候也会消失，啊，还好这不是现实，否则就太畜生了……”

路然良心挣扎了一小下，然后还是打算按原计划行动。

下一刻，路然也接收到了橙空博士发送过来的资源清单。

3种传说级资源，分别是：

①、原始胎海之水，传说级资源，任何未生的幼体经过胎海之水的浸泡，潜力都会得到极大的提升，君王幼体可轻松跨越霸主门槛。

②、花神之蜜，传说级资源，植物神阵营中，主要负责“万年之约”的花之神提供给访花者的报酬，可以直接性的提升草系动物种族的成长等级，一滴便可无副作用快速从1级到90级。

③、生命之火，传说级资源，创世之龙眷属神凰心怜在传说之战中受苦的生灵，分离的一朵生命之火，可治愈伤势，起死回生。

7种史诗级资源，分别是……

路然还没来得及看完，橙空博士就道：“这些都是比较‘温和’的传说级资源，而且是研究人造神过程中，重要性不是第一梯级的资源，可以开放给你进行研究。”

“其中，我要跟你重点说下三个传说级资源。”

“胎海之水这个资源，目前神灵研究所虽然有一定份额，但是你初次研究，只能申请一滴。”

“花神之蜜也是，只能申请一滴。”

“至于生命之火，核心之火不能动，只能分出一缕分炎给你研究。”

“如果哪个资源确实研究出一定成果，那么才可以开放更大份额的研究权限。”

路然；“……”

特喵的。

刚刚看到三个资源，路然还激动了一小下，以为自己要发家致富了。

但是，橙空博士紧接着，就让路然的一颗心沉入海底。

一滴……一缕……

好吧。

路然也知道，这种级别的资源，能分出一滴一缕提供给他这个新人研究就算不错的了。

其中，花神之蜜，生命之火，让路然尤为在意。

花神，应该就是培养了树王的那个传说生命吧，自己作为树王传承者，本来还有机会跟随花神修行来着。

而神凰的生命之火……也让路然在意万分，作为生命之龙三大眷属中最强的一个，对方也算是他上司的同事了。

生命之火！

路然也很想搞到这个！ 神鹿断角已经快要淘汰，这个生命之火，或许能做上位替代！

而且，神鹿好像还给过他一个寻找神凰传承的任务，虽然不知道这个生命之火算不算传承，但是，如果能把这个带走给神鹿看一眼，也能证明自己的能力了！

至于其他的史诗资源，路然快速扫了一下，发现基本都是传说生命身上的资源，比如某兽的血液。

某些血液份额也不大，想必研究所也是留了一些备份，并不是全部给他研究。

“不过即使如此，应该也挺爽了吧？”橙空博士笑眯眯道：“我在你这个等级时候，哪里见过这么多极品资源。”

“爽不爽。”

“爽。”路然狂点头道：“那老师，这些资源都怎么领啊。”

“这些资源都储存在神灵研究所总部，就是我们一开始降落的地方，资源审批通过后，你直接自己前往总部的‘资源室’就行了，神灵研究所的总部就是一个巨大的机械生命，具备自己的智能，只要你有权限，你直接和智能说你要什么资源，它就会给你找出来，送到你手中。”

“目前这清单上的10个资源，都是给你开通了权限的，你可以直接去领。”

“不过我提醒你一下，这些资源，只能用于‘研究’，不管是研究成功也好，失败也好，都要提供研究纪录，证明这些资源不是你自己私人使用，比如这些传说资源，神灵研究所可以接受它们损坏在重要的研究过程中，但是却不能接受它们被研究员私吞，你能明白吗，这些是国家的资产。”

橙空担心路然年龄太小，经受不住诱惑，提醒道。

“我明白。”

“不过作为神灵研究所的机械师，也还是有其他福利的，可以调动各种顶级资源进行科研，提升自己的机械助手的研究能力，只是其中一个福利。”

“如果研究员有什么重大贡献，这些资源库中一些资源，其实也未必不能申请私人使用。比如卡库博士，就曾经申请使用原始胎海之水，帮助自己的孙女提升初始宠兽蛋的潜力。只要按照规章流程申请，一切都好说。”

“你发明的‘元素生命创造装置’，待公开给研究所后，想私人使用个别资源，应该也是没问题的。”

“哦哦……”路然点头，不重要，资源到手就行了，反正到时候回归后，谁能管他是研究使用还是私人使用……

“老师，我接下来打算出门一趟，拜访一下各位前辈，我看好多前辈对元素生命都挺感兴趣的，打算先送它们一些元素小精灵研究。”

“您这边……我也准备了各种属性的小精灵，接下来打包成一份送给您吧。”

“嗯？？？哈哈哈，可以可以，看发明大赛时候，就觉得这些小精灵可爱极了。”

接下来两天。

路然和18号，在一一拜访神灵研究所的研究员们。

并送上元素小精灵作为见面礼。

他们的惯用套路便是：送礼，针对性的请教机械知识！

在提前送礼的情况下，这些前辈都非常大气，讲解完之后，有的还拿出一些机械经验心得送给路然他们，路然他们可以说是完全做到了以小博大。

同时，路然也在持续性的从神灵研究所总部申请开放给了自己权限的资源。

不过路然根本不用研究，也知道这些资源无法成为元素生命创造装置的可替代能源，原因也简单，六花因为融合了限制突破特质，汁液具有一定突破限制的能力，这才是在这个时代能创造出元素生命的关键。

虽然有些资源也是传说生命身上的，但是上面蕴含的突破限制的能力，是远远不如六道的汁液的。

这一点，在18号分析了几件资源后，也证明了确实如此。

因为这一个原因，路然也便不强行研究了，免得破坏了资源，不如等着到时候带回蓝星慢慢使用。

仅剩下这几天，路然他们做的最重要的事情，其实还是筹备“诈骗计划”！ 此刻的六道花，甚至都已经不在神之岛了，暂时和路然分开，就等待着到时候从外界进入神之岛，装一波大的。

距离神之岛极远的一座孤岛，空间裂缝缓缓被撕开，六道花以人形姿态，一步一步走出，凝聚出了一尊木之修罗，然后坐在了修罗肩膀之上。

“我之神名六道轮回之神，神树挚友，陨落于开辟之战，后因轮回之力和神树之力复生，转世成功。”

“此次前来，特取流落在外的混沌龙神之血，此血对于帮助我恢复巅峰实力有所用处，神血狂暴万分，蕴含混沌龙神神性，你们无法驾驭，不如交予我手，更何况，此物还是我之老友的战利品，不是属于你们之物。”

“待我成为继神树之后的下一位植物主神，定不会忘记你等。”

"Artificially creating a god? That's interesting. I can help you with your research. Don't believe me? My descendant Flower God can cultivate a legendary Royal Plant Master. You are really underestimating me."

Liudaohua was memorizing the lines silently, but it seemed unreliable. Lu Ran, don't trick me!

(End of this chapter)
