Chapter 211: The Secret of Tracking Monroe from a Distance
Then, when he saw the beam of light shooting out from the muzzle composed of silver nanoparticles, he was completely dumbfounded and it took him a long time to utter a word.
“This… How is this possible!”
This went against his basic understanding of nanomaterials.
"It's a shame. If most of my body hadn't been smashed to pieces, you would be dead now."
This sentence was recorded with incredible clarity, and the command room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
This level of technology is too high and beyond their understanding.
Ford swallowed hard and looked at the figure in the mecha on the screen.
Li Ming’s teacher is too arrogant. He wants to kill an A-level life form?
Why is it different from what he expected? Could this be the exiled great mechanic?
The intelligence officer had already seen the battle footage and was still reporting, "Based on the on-site conversations and their subsequent reactions."
"We suspect the master mechanic approached Ulrich with a purpose, but something unexpected happened. It seems a Class A lifeform attacked him from behind, severely injuring him and destroying many of his combat methods."
The voices of many commanders suddenly rang out, accompanied by bursts of exclamations.
"As expected of a great mechanic, I actually thought he was just unlucky."
"I've said it before, there's no way a mechanic of this level could be caught so easily."
"Don't be so sarcastic now, you were the one who mocked me the most back then."
“…”
Wu Yanqing looked at the mecha, and for some reason, he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Especially the golden prism on the helmet.
! !
Wu Yanqing's pupils contracted, and he remembered that this seemed to be an advanced combat mecha of the Sublimator civilization, and he had a small broken part of it in his hand before.
Then, he saw Asmara's white hands clenched behind her back.
Prince Baijan looked solemn, as if he had noticed it as well. He glanced at Asmara without saying a word.
"Cancel the subsequent combat plans, activate the wartime alert state, block all external communications, and go to the Land of Stars now. Let our people keep a close eye on this mechanic." Asmara spoke suddenly, and the many commanders who had not yet reacted were stunned.
Their subsequent combat plan was already scheduled for ten days later, so how could they cancel it just like that?
"Your Highness Asmara..." Someone looked hesitant.
"Commander Joseph, do you have any objections to the order?" Prince Baijan asked gently.
"No, no..." Joseph shuddered. Prince Baijan did not often refute Asma's orders, but he agreed with them even less often.
"I just want to ask, this fleet in front of us..."
"Kill them all immediately, leaving no one alive." Asmara's voice was emotionless.
"Also, hasn't the intelligence department verified the identity of this Qinglong yet?"
The intelligence officer shuddered and said hurriedly, "We've conducted extensive investigations but haven't found any leads on him. We've requested assistance from the Xingyuan Empire, but haven't received a response yet."
Asmara said nothing. Ford felt uneasy and puzzled as to why the battle plan was suddenly changed.
Suddenly, he felt cold all over. He looked up in confusion, only to find Asmara staring at him quietly.
Shit, he was sweating profusely.
………
At the same time, on a long-forgotten planet, wind and sand swirled, and black thunder formed an atmospheric vortex.
Large areas of black soil were dug out from the dry land. Soldiers in black combat armor walked back and forth. In the central inspection area, a dilapidated spaceship was placed.
"Your Highness, after preliminary testing, there are no surveillance cameras inside that can record anything. We can only find the genetic remnants of one person, and it does not belong to Li Ming."
Gabriel doesn't look very old, with fair skin. He is not from Itlan, and there is a hint of indifference in his amber eyes.
He glanced down at the preliminary report. "Interesting, only one person's genes remain. Is this Li Ming so cautious?"
"Where's the lingering smell?"
"It's been too long, and the planet's environment is too barren, so the scent has dissipated." The subordinate shook his head and added, "It's also difficult to capture any remaining information."
"What a pity..." Gabriel sighed, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's already good enough to find this one."
"Yaro and Li Ming left Blue Star on this spaceship, landed on this planet, stole Sera's spaceship, and then headed to the Land of the Stars from here." Gabriel said in a deep voice, "They turned into the Azure Dragon and the Wild Lion..."
"You mean, these two people are Yaluo and Li Ming?" The subordinate was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Is this possible?"
Gabriel glanced at them calmly, and his men were filled with fear. "What I mean is that Ya Luo knows nothing about mechanics. Although Li Ming is quite proficient in mechanics and is highly regarded, the gap between him and Qinglong is too big."
"Besides, that Azure Dragon killed Bai Ye and Atom, both of whom were B-level life forms. When Li Ming left Blue Star, he was only a D-level life form."
"Data can sometimes be deceiving. Trust your intuition." Gabriel shook his head. "The universe is so vast, it's normal for strange things to happen. Be bold in your speculation."
"Take this spaceship away."
"Your Highness..." Another subordinate hurried over and created a virtual screen. "This is synchronized with His Highness Asmara."
Gabriel's brows twitched slightly, and he looked carefully. His expression changed several times, and finally he couldn't help but "tsk" and frowned: "How could this be..."
The subordinates who were watching the whole process lowered their heads even more. Qinglong could already defeat an A-level life form. If the opponent was really Li Ming, this was no longer just miraculous, it was simply unbelievable.
Gabriel was filled with doubt and uncertainty. He looked at the virtual screen, then at his own conclusion, then erased it and shook his head, saying, "It seems there's a third person on this spaceship."
"Anyway, I have to go to the Land of the Stars. I'm very curious about Li Ming and this great mechanic."
………
"There is only 23% left in the development progress. The B-level gene seed is in our hands, and we will soon be able to become a B-level life form. That will be a qualitative change." Li Ming walked on the street, thinking secretly.
There weren't many people around, as the aftermath of the Iron Castle attack had not yet dissipated.
Many plunderers are quite cunning and have already left the trading island to avoid being affected.
He holds more than 40 million metal energies, but he is not in a hurry to upgrade the object he controls. Instead, he is preparing to deal with a small matter.
"I'm sorry, sir, the store is closed. Please come back later."
Li Ming looked up and saw Saber coming out of the store with an expressionless face.
"It's me." He smiled.
Just these two words made the expressionless Saber suddenly become excited, but he quickly suppressed it, suppressed the emotional waves, and turned sideways.
After carefully closing the door, he excitedly said, "Sir Qinglong, you are truly amazing... Even Sandro is not your match."
The video footage of that battle has been flying all over the Land of Stars, and it looks like Sandro was really defeated.
The discussion on the local network was extremely heated, with various speculations.
Some people have even started giving him nicknames, such as "Cannon King" and "Mechanical Heavy Cannon". These outrageous nicknames are popular, and I don't know where the problem comes from.
In fact, all the plunderers present at the time were under Ulrich's control, and he could have confiscated their smart terminals during the subsequent inspection.
But he did not do so, allowing the predators to spread the videos and do bad things.
Li Ming guessed that many forces were probably studying the battle video.
"Upstairs?" Li Ming asked. He didn't have much time. The [Mimic Projection] was still deceiving Huitong not far away. He needed to solve the trouble with the Star King as soon as possible.
"Yes, yes." Saber reacted and hurriedly led the way.
Going up to the top floor and opening the secret room, Li Ming looked at the Star King lying in the liquid tank with strange eyes.
"Your Excellency Qinglong, nice to meet you." Men Luo's voice came from the loudspeaker beside him, sounding very young.
This mimicry sound can be chosen at random, and to a certain extent represents Monroe's mentality.
"Your Excellency, Star King." Li Ming nodded. "Because of some unexpected events, I may not have much free time. I hope we can solve the problem this time."
"You are here for the matter reorganization device." Monroe mentioned this.
"Not bad." Li Ming nodded.
Monroe laughed and said, "Ever since Saber told me, I've been wondering how someone with the ability to repair the Nano Curse could be captured by Ulrich."
You really overestimated me, Li Ming muttered to himself, but shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, something went wrong."
Monroe was not surprised at all: "I guessed it. Since you didn't leave and those three guys didn't surround you, it's obvious that something unexpected happened and neither of you got it."
"Yes, it's right in front of us..." Li Ming shook his head, "Another A-level life form jumped out and took the lead."
Monroe hesitated. "Is it your enemy?"
"I guess so." Li Ming was vague. It was impossible for Monroe and those three guys to have an exchange of words, so he didn't care and just answered perfunctorily.
"That's not a good thing either." Monroe didn't ask any further questions, but smiled helplessly, "A large part of the reason I've fallen into this situation is because of that thing."
"Oh." Li Ming sat up straight, "I'd like to hear more about it."
Monroe hesitated. "I used the [Matter Restructuring Device] to shape the Land of Stars and transform the floating islands. Of course, it wasn't to provide a hiding place for those heinous plunderers."
"You should have seen the Red River Star Waterfall, right?" Monroe suddenly brought up the matter halfway through his speech.
"I've seen it, it's very spectacular." Li Ming exclaimed.
Monroe asked, "Aren't you curious about why this unique landscape was formed? Where did those remains of civilization and ruins come from?"
"Well... I only explore mysteries that can be solved."
Monroe smiled. "As expected of a great mechanic, there are many gathering places along the Red River Star Stream. They rely on the Red River Star Stream for their livelihood and want to explore its secrets."
"I'm not that curious or capable of finding the source. I just want to use the eternal gravity of the Land of Stars to pull something out."
Li Ming's heart was slightly shocked. This old man has a very creative mind.
"The Star Land I created was three times the size of the current Star Land at its peak, but in my blueprint, it was still only one-tenth of it." Monroe said leisurely.
"Ulrich is a gravity user, but even with his current abilities, he can't even match even 1% of the gravity that I plan for the Land of Stars to produce, and that's gravity at all times."
"What a pity..." Monroe shook his head.
Li Ming didn't expect that there was such a secret. His eyes flashed, but he just listened.
Monroe was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "Sir, don't you want to know what that thing is?"
"If I asked, I would have fallen into your trap." Li Ming smiled faintly.
"Haha..." Monroe laughed without explaining or continuing on the matter. Instead, he said, "Saber has brought very few materials recently, only enough for two repairs."
"That's about it." Li Ming estimated that he wouldn't make much, but he wouldn't lose money either.
Solve the Star King’s problem as soon as possible and release this combat power so that he can concentrate on the next thing.
"However, I have to put you on hold for a while. Is that acceptable to you?"
Saber was about to speak, but Monroe agreed immediately: "No problem."
Saber had no choice but to get the materials, shut down all the systems in the room, and walked out hesitantly.
Li Ming took off Monroe's head, put it into standby mode, and then began to absorb the metal energy of the material, and then repaired Monroe's remaining limbs.
"There's less than a million left."
After most of the day, Li Ming glanced at the changes in the metal energy and put the head back.
At the same time, sparks burst out from Monroe's mechanical body, the energy engine lights up, the mechanical limbs twitch, and the lights in the room flicker.
Buzz--
The eyes of the mechanical head glowed with blue fluorescence. Snap! Monroe suddenly sat up, his body smashing through the liquid tank, causing a large amount of liquid to spurt out.
He raised his metal palm and looked it up and down. Most of its surface was still covered with green liquid.
"It's really...amazing." Monroe was very surprised. When he listened to Saber's narration in the past, it was difficult for him to personally experience this kind of shock.
The nano curse that was like a thorn in his side was healed so easily?
"Lord Star King!" Saber noticed the movement and pushed the door open. After a moment of daze, his eyes turned red.
"Finally..." Monroe said with a melancholy tone. The metal on the surface of his body squirmed and turned into a mimic skin that covered it. He looked like a middle-aged man with a weathered face.
"Monroe will always remember your kindness," he said solemnly.
That's what I want you to say. Li Ming waved his hand and said, "Just go with the flow. Don't worry about it. How do you feel now?"
"I'm still a long way from my peak, but ordinary A-level lifeforms won't be able to catch me." Monroe had a fairly clear estimate of his own strength, and then asked Li Ming:
"Sir, if I want to repair all of them, how much metal plate would it take, for example?"
"Hmm..." Li Ming estimated that one piece would cost 500,000 metal energies, plus what he needed to earn for repairs.
"About three thousand yuan will be enough." He said a number.
Monroe was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered. "I understand. I'll find it as soon as possible. If you need anything, just let me know."
Li Ming was naturally not worried that Monroe would disappear. The other party should not be able to find a second person who could easily repair the "Nano Curse".
