Chapter 235: What the Torch wants to create turns out to be...
"However, after hearing what you said, I am really curious about this guy named Li Ming. How outstanding must he be to be favored by Qinglong?" Sandro was quite curious.
Ulrich sighed, "If nothing unexpected happens, in a dozen years or so, he will definitely be a rising star again."
"His potential for development is extremely high. When he escaped from Blue Star, he was still a D-class life form, but now he is probably a C-class life form."
"It's a foregone conclusion that he's an A-class life form. With Qinglong here, perhaps... becoming an S-class life form wouldn't be a problem either."
"S-class life form..." Theo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a flash of eyes.
"I don't know where Qinglong hid him."
Li Ming didn't know what the three people behind him were whispering about, and he chatted with Connet in a disjointed manner.
The route they took seemed to be specially designed, and they didn't see anything useful along the way.
"Your accommodation is in the west area of the base. All the infrastructure is available here. If there is nothing special, I suggest you not go to other areas." Connet said in front of a corridor.
Through this corridor is a place specially opened for Ulrich and others.
"Are you putting us under house arrest?" Sandro snorted coldly. "We don't care what you're building or doing."
"I'm sorry for overthinking it. I hope you can understand." Cornett nodded, his attitude very humble.
When they came here, they had anticipated this kind of problem and didn't say much at the time.
Li Ming said directly, "Where is the laboratory? Take me to see what we are going to make first."
"Hmm..." Cornett was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Ming to be so impatient, but he still said, "Let's put your things down first."
Sandro stared at his box of metal materials, feeling worried and regretful. He wished he had sold it earlier.
………
Meanwhile, in the core laboratory, Jessiah observed the progress of the experiment and said, "Sir Benny, according to what Connet said, Azure Dragon should be arriving soon."
"It should be." Master Mechanic Benny nodded. "They said it should have arrived three days ago, but I don't know what went wrong."
"There shouldn't be any accidents." Jessia frowned.
Benny glanced at Jessiah and always felt that Jessiah cared too much about Qinglong.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the core laboratory was suddenly pushed open and a figure walked in hurriedly.
"Deyes?" Jesse Whitton, the built-in data analysis has given the conclusion that "the target is extremely excited."
Deyes looked excited and had already walked to the spectrometer. After operating it together, a cold, mechanical female voice came out -
"The No. 19 alloy ratio is successful, and the energy conductivity meets the requirements..."
"The γ value calculation is correct, and the core magnetic coil is successfully wound..."
“…”
Huh? Jessiah was quite surprised. These two problems had troubled them for a long time, and they had never been able to solve them.
Benny was very surprised and walked forward to quickly verify, "There is no problem?"
"Deyes, where did you get your data? It's so accurate?"
Jessiah also looked at him suspiciously. They were all great mechanics, and maybe they would have a flash of inspiration, but it was impossible for them to have it flash three times in a row.
With such precise alloy ratio, it is obvious that the answer was known long ago.
"I...found the prototype data of this thing." The blush on Deyes's face faded slightly, and he looked around at the two of them and said in a deep voice.
"What?" Jessiah was surprised, and Benny was also extremely surprised.
They knew from the beginning that this thing, temporarily named "Sublimator No. 1", was definitely not designed by the Torch Organization.
However, the Torch Organization could not find its prototype design, let alone the original drawings and related data. Everything about the Ascendant civilization had been wiped out completely.
"This thing is called the Tanlomon Bio-Sublimator. It's used by the higher-ups of the Sublimator Civilization, specifically to increase particle concentration." Deyes straightened his clothes, looking quite proud, and explained:
"Actually, I've come across this a long time ago. My lab unearthed a broken prototype more than a decade ago and extracted a lot of data from it, all of which I have stored in my offline database."
"I felt familiar with this thing when I saw it before, but I just never remembered it."
Jessiah's eyes became more suspicious. Why did it sound so magical?
Always keep it in an offline database?
"You don't believe it?" Deyes had been keeping an eye on Jessiah. Seeing his expression, he said coldly, "Papuro, the fluctuation value of the δ value in the third quadrant has increased to 1536.45."
"Yes..." The experimenter called Pablo was startled and hurried to the relevant experimental equipment. He was already sweating profusely and entered the relevant data.
"The simulation was successful, and the energy spectrum response matched."
Another success made Benny beside him quite excited, "If that's the case, then we can make it soon."
"Hmph." Deyes looked a little proud, but quickly calmed down. "If Cornett had allowed my lab to join, we might have found the clues long ago."
"I'm going to tell Cornett to stop bothering with that Qinglong."
Hearing this, Jessiah couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you have all the relevant data about this thing?"
"Only a portion for now." Deyes's eyes were vague but firm. "But with our capabilities, if we can trace back a portion of it, we can solve quite a few problems."
Jessia felt something was wrong. Deyes's data came too strangely. It didn't come earlier or later, but at this time.
However, it is basically impossible for them to contact the outside world here...
Deyes's eyes swept over Jessiah and walked straight towards the laboratory door.
Before he could trigger the automatic sensing system of the laboratory door, the metal door opened automatically. Deyes paused and the first person he saw through the gap was Connet.
Just as he was about to speak, the ever-widening gap in the door allowed him to see a large group of unfamiliar faces following the other person, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Deyes's expression became restrained, his brows furrowed, and his eyes fell on one of the figures.
"Mr. Deyes?" Connet was surprised, but then he stepped aside and introduced: "This is Mr. Qinglong..."
"No need to introduce them, I know them all. Gray Eyes - Theo, Collector - Ulrich, and Star Hunter - Sandro..." Deyes said expressionlessly.
Li Ming looked at the other person. This guy seemed to be very unhappy.
I've heard from Theo before that the mechanics here are quite resistant to their joining.
"The Great Mechanic - Deyes, and his Meteorite Laboratory, specializes in selling heavy weapons..." Ulrich said lightly. They all make a living in several nearby star clusters and have more or less dealt with each other.
"Jessia?" Sandro's loud voice suddenly rang out. "Tsk, tsk, it's been over ten years since we last saw each other. I heard you became a master mechanic, but I haven't congratulated you properly yet."
"You really are following in Master Monroe's footsteps, transforming your entire body."
The four of them were once Monroe's men, but the atmosphere between them was quite strange. Jessiah said expressionlessly, "Sandro, you're really lucky to still be alive with your brain."
Sandro was not angry, but laughed out loud, "You guy, your mouth is still so foul..."
Theo looked Jessiah up and down but said nothing.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Li Ming always felt that the look in Jessiah's eyes when he looked at him seemed much softer.
Maybe it was an illusion, mechanical pupils, where did that look come from, he muttered to himself...
"Aren't other people usually not allowed to come to this core laboratory? Cornett, when did your rules change?" Deyes broke the strange atmosphere and was very dissatisfied.
"After all, this is your first time here, so you must take a look." Cornett explained patiently.
Deyes sneered, looked around at the few people, but said nothing.
Cornett led a few people to the center and pointed at the broken object on the metal table. He said, "This is what we are making. We have temporarily named it "Sublimator No. 1."
Li Ming stared at it for a few seconds but couldn't see any clues. After all, it was only a small part of the structure.
"Can I take a look?" Li Ming asked. Cornette told him to do as he pleased, with expectation in his eyes.
He tried touching it, but no relevant information came up. It must be too broken.
Seeing that he just touched her without saying anything, Connie was vaguely disappointed.
Everyone in the laboratory looked at each other and stood at their posts.
Jesseia hesitated to speak. Logically speaking, even a great mechanic might not be able to explain what this thing meant when seeing it for the first time.
But just now, Deyes had already said the name of this thing and obtained the prototype design data.
Therefore, if Qinglong, who is now placed with high hopes, cannot explain the reason, it is bound to cause some twists and turns, and perhaps other troubles.
"Mr. Cornett, actually..." Benny suddenly started to speak, but was interrupted by Deyes: "If you have anything to say, let's wait until Mr. Qinglong has finished his preliminary review."
Benny shook his head helplessly. Cornett looked over and noticed the strange atmosphere in the laboratory. He frowned slightly.
"Your Excellency Qinglong..." Jesseia took the initiative to speak, but Deyes took the lead and said, "Take your time and see. There's no rush. Jesseia, why are you rushing to the limelight?"
What's going on? Cornett felt something was wrong.
Jessiah looked unhappy, Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and Connet had already pulled out the holographic projection design, still keeping the various parts separated. "Your Excellency Qinglong, this is the full picture..."
Looking at the general shape, Li Ming inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu.
Cornett stretched out his hands and slowly closed them. Li Ming's expression became increasingly strange, and the sense of déjà vu grew stronger and stronger. Finally, he asked in astonishment, "Tanlomon Bio-Sublimator?"
Jessiah was slightly stunned, his mechanical pupils continuously expanding and contracting.
Deyes was struck by lightning, his expression stiff, as if he couldn't believe it.
How does he know?
"Hmm?" Cornett was shocked. "Have you seen this thing?"
"Hmm." Li Ming rubbed his chin. "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is a high-end instrument for sublimating civilization."
Li Ming was quite emotional. He didn't expect that the Torch Organization would manufacture this thing. If it was something else, he might not recognize it.
But he not only recognized this thing, but also had another one on the control page.
It was broken and could have greatly increased the concentration of sublimator particles in his body, but he never had the chance to use it.
Ulrich and the other two didn't react that strongly. Given the mystery of Azure Dragon, they felt it was natural.
Sandro muttered, "Is it really that serious? Look at that Deyes. He didn't react for dozens of seconds. He must be really scared."
"And Jessiah, it seems like he's frozen, but his mechanical eyes keep moving."
"Not as good as these ordinary people in the laboratory?"
Cornett's heart couldn't help but waver. He asked Qinglong to come mostly to follow Jessiah's advice and to try his best to save the situation.
Because the progress of these three great mechanics was too slow, they didn't expect that the other party would give him a big surprise as soon as they arrived, and even said the name of this thing.
However, after hearing what Sandro said, he looked around and found that the other experimenters in the laboratory were not surprised.
Just looking at each other with a weird expression
The astonishment on Benny's face faded, and he glanced at Deyes's face and said helplessly: "As expected of Lord Qinglong, you recognized the origin of this thing at a glance."
"Oh?" Li Ming caught the unexpected message in the other party's tone and couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you sure what I said is true?"
Cornett also looked over and realized something was wrong.
"The name Lord Qinglong mentioned is exactly the same as what Deyes said." Benny explained.
"Really?" Li Ming was even more surprised and glanced at Deyes. This great mechanic was quite powerful and should not be underestimated.
Cornett frowned. When did Deyes know the origin of this thing?
"Pablo?" he said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Pablo quickly stepped forward and explained in a low voice, recounting what had just happened.
Although his voice was low, everyone present, who were all advanced life forms, could hear it clearly.
"Interesting..." Ulrich looked at Deyes.
Li Ming pondered to himself, "Why didn't you say it earlier or later, but just when I came? How interesting."
At the same time, he also realized that this guy had just interrupted Benny and Jessiah repeatedly because he wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Seeing everyone's gaze focused on him, Deyes forced a smile. "As expected of His Excellency Azure Dragon, there's no information available about the Ascendant civilization, yet you were able to recognize it at a glance."
He was quite panicked. He knew the origin of the relevant data very well, but in order to obtain this information, there was still a problem that had not been dealt with.
Out of caution, Cornett will definitely find out whether this is true as he said.
But if he took the leading position in manufacturing the Tanlomon biological sublimator, Connet would have to suppress his doubts temporarily.
But he didn't expect that the Azure Dragon was so powerful and could recognize the origin of this thing at a glance. In this way, Connet would definitely have nothing to fear.
"This old fellow actually knew about this too?" Sandro said in a loud voice. "I thought you senior mechanics were just sitting there doing nothing, waiting for Qinglong to come and save you."
