Chapter 252: Harvest Day [Sunshine Split Star]
"The psionic ripple curve is normal..."
“Energy beam segmentation is normal”…
"Ready to embed in regular model..."
In the core laboratory, everyone held their breath and watched in concentration as multiple robotic arms slowly nested a bright blue crystal into the sublimator body.
Until it glowed a dreamy silver-blue. The visual development progress jumped from 40% to 45%.
"Okay!" An experimenter not far away blushed and couldn't help but clench his fists.
This reaction attracted the attention of others, making him look embarrassed, but the others just smiled kindly and also breathed a sigh of relief.
Benny smiled and nodded, staring at the sublimator that had taken shape before him. It was oval in shape, looking like half a football.
Deyes pondered to himself. As the tacit understanding between the several master mechanics gradually improved, their efficiency also continued to improve.
Although Deyes was reluctant to admit it, he and Qinglong sometimes had a tacit understanding that needed no further explanation. After all, they had been working together for quite a while.
Li Ming looked calm. This manufacturing speed seemed normal to him. Deyes had Asmara's data supply.
He even had a real sublimator that could be disassembled, and this manufacturing speed was already a deliberate delay on his part.
Otherwise it would be even faster.
The Torch Organization's sublimator manufacturing progress has long surpassed the incomplete sublimator in his hands.
As a last resort, he could only make temporary repairs to it.
About one million metal energies have been invested so far.
After he joined the Torch Organization, he made a lot of small items, including hidden and empowered control objects, mechanical motorcycles, hypnotic pocket watches, etc. All in all, he consumed nearly five million metal energies.
Including the money spent on the broken sublimator, there are only about 16 million left.
It seems like a lot, but if you take into account the consumption of the three main guns, it is already not enough.
Of course, he was not idle during this period, and used various means to inquire about the storage of metal materials within the Torch Organization.
But to his disappointment, they were basically all super-large alloy raw materials, mainly used for the manufacture of warship parts. They were extremely inconvenient to absorb, took a lot of time, and had to be moved constantly.
"The main difficulty of the second core node has been overcome. What remains is repetitive work. You have all been working here for several days in a row. You can take a break for a while." Benny looked up and ignored Qinglong.
This person is unshakable and will leave after working for a maximum of two hours every day, but the relevant data he provides are indeed extremely critical.
"It's almost time. I'll be leaving first." Li Ming spoke immediately. Benny's mouth twitched. Today's working hours were even shorter, less than an hour.
But the others were already used to it. After Qinglong had been gone for a few minutes, Deyes finally spoke, "I'm going to rest too."
Jessiah's mechanical pupils turned and he shook his head, "I don't need to rest, Sir Benny, continue."
All the way back to the room, Li Ming was also examining himself.
"Well, the development progress is already 17%. After all the evolution theories have been upgraded to A-level, the progress is indeed obvious."
During this period, he was not idle and continued to develop genetic seeds.
Even when using [Shadow Sting] to hypnotize the personnel involved in forming the main ship, one evolution will be switched to [Crown of Meditation] to passively develop gene seeds with its ability.
"Quantum energy..." He stretched out his finger, and a bright blue light swirled around his fingertips, looking like an energy ribbon.
This is the quantum energy in the Red Lotus Thunder Dragon gene seed that he fused.
The development progress was relatively slow before, and its features had not been concretely manifested until the development progress was slightly improved during this period.
Compared with ordinary elemental energy, quantum energy has greater destructive power and huge potential.
"I remember that the Red Lotus Thunder Dragon has a property that allows it to transform itself into a semi-quantum state. It's quite magical."
Li Ming was thinking unconsciously. Although his combat power composition was different from others, it was mainly a combination of his own strength and the objects he controlled.
The main function of gene seeds is to broaden his evolutionary ceiling.
But he also attaches great importance to his own genetic evolution line, not only because it can cooperate with the controlled objects, but also because.
That is the power that truly belongs to him.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ming glanced at the time, suppressed other emotions, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
Today is the day when the other two main guns will arrive, and it is also the day when he will reap the rewards after working for many days.
In order to feel a little urgent, he still did not violate his usual rules.
More than half an hour passed before Lei Ting left the room, staggered around, and finally stopped in front of the corridor.
The soldiers in charge of guarding were already used to it and didn't care.
In the shadows, Li Ming glanced into the corner and said, "It really is haunting."
In the shadows around the corner, Deyes leaned against the metal wall, his eyes flickering.
He had noticed this mechanical body for quite some time. Shortly after Li Ming returned to the room, it would wander around the entire rest area and finally come to the corridor connecting to the outside, standing still like a sentry.
The length of stay is also different, ranging from seven or eight hours to more than ten hours.
Torch had sent people to inquire about it, and Qinglong's answer was vague. He said that his mechanical intelligence was undergoing deep learning, and he himself did not know the meaning of many of its behaviors, but he did not say what it was learning specifically.
This mechanical body did not cause any substantial damage to the Torch Organization, and considering the other party's importance, the matter was eventually left unresolved.
But Deyes personally touched and even tried to crack this mechanical body called Thunder.
Knowing its underlying logic and procedures, he felt that it was like a ghost and was definitely not as dull as it appeared on the surface. He keenly felt that there must be something wrong.
However, after secretly tracking for several days, no clues were found.
Li Ming had long known about Deyes's secret attention. Thunder's actions were aboveboard and could not be hidden from anyone.
He just stood there for a few hours, and the Torch Organization said nothing, so Deyes could only watch.
And, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
After tossing back and forth among several shadows, he hid in the shadow of his old acquaintance Zog.
He seemed to be in much better spirits and in high spirits.
During this period, Li Ming has been hypnotizing other people and rarely needs Zog.
He and his partner, the bald man Hector, arrived at the tarmac early, along with other people from the R&D department.
The two of them had long been appointed by Peel as chief prosecutors, with the highest status.
"After waiting for so many days, it's finally here." Hector spoke with a hint of complaint and subconsciously touched his forehead.
The Torch Organization is short of more than just two main guns.
There are also a large number of other ship-borne energy cannons, intelligent cores, etc.
As a result, many warships were half-assembled and could only be placed there temporarily.
Zog couldn't help but snort coldly. "I heard from my colleagues in the External Relations Department that the manufacturer seems to want to raise the price. These bastards are taking advantage of the situation."
"Raise the price?" Hector's face was also very ugly, and the two of them cursed at each other.
Soon, the hum of the engine interrupted their conversation.
Five heavy transport ships leaped in, their tail propulsion engines emitting blazing purple ion flames.
After entering the ecological shield, the propulsion engines flipped over, and several large transport ships turned together. A howling gale suddenly blew in their faces, and Zog and Hector couldn't help but squint their eyes.
Boom!
The transport spacecraft landed completely, and the Torch Organization's ground crew quickly stepped forward, opened the hatch, and the personnel on the transport ship also walked down to conduct the handover.
Several large mechanical cranes approached, and various large mechanical crops were in operation. Facing the unique smell of odorous ions after the engines were turned off, Zog and the people from the R&D department walked forward.
"Dear colleagues from the R&D department, I am the person in charge of this transportation mission - Li Yang." A man came down from the transport spacecraft. He had a pair of compound eyes and horns on his head. It was polished to a shine and seemed to be coated with some kind of wax.
"This is the shipping list, please sign it." The other party handed over a tablet-type smart terminal.
Zog took it and glanced down, "Don't worry, it hasn't been tested yet."
Li Yang frowned slightly, but this was also the established procedure.
Various large warship components placed in metal boxes were transported down, and the people in the R&D department have already started to move, holding various testing instruments.
The most important of them are the two main guns. The metal boxes used to store them are at least 100 meters long, and one of them is even more than 500 meters long.
The transport crane's mechanical claws gripped it tightly and lifted it to an open space nearby.
"Zog, let's each take one and cross-examine them later," said Hector.
Zog nodded, looking somewhat expectant. "Then I'll take a look at this big one first, the rumored 'Sunshine Splitting Star'..."
The staff opened the box, revealing a gap. Zog waved his hand to stop it from opening completely, and walked in sideways. Faint lights lit up in the four corners, illuminating the space in the box.
What appeared before his eyes was a giant pale golden cannon, reflecting a cold metallic luster, and a tangible sense of oppression came towards him.
Due to the angle, Zog was standing at the muzzle of the giant cannon. The dark hole made him lose consciousness for a moment.
Then, a silver light descended and he fell into a complete trance.
In the shadows, Li Ming appeared and disappeared, staring at the giant gun barrel in front of him with a grin on his face.
Conventional main ships are already considered important weapons of a civilization, and the fleet formed around them is a civilization's courage and trump card to the outside world.
There must be civilizations capable of assembly-line production of main ship-level components and even high-end heavy firepower such as main guns.
But the Torch Organization should find it difficult to be eligible to purchase from the other party.
Therefore, the Torch Organization's main guns are basically custom-made, with complex processes and a long time to complete. At the same time, the styles are also quite different.
Their fleet consists of three main ships, and because their main focuses are different, the power of their main guns is also different.
Some charge quickly and have short firing intervals, while others charge slowly but are more powerful.
And this one, the Sun-Breaking Star, is the most powerful main gun among them.
"The core of the Sunshine Rift's energy generator is made of a rare metal called 'stellar core'. This alloy has an extremely high melting point and amazing energy conductivity, allowing it to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures."
Li Ming had already memorized its information by heart. There were complex energy patterns engraved on its surface. This was because of the special nature of its energy, and ordinary restraint devices were no longer effective.
It uses energy conduction to disperse energy without any energy constraints, allowing the gun itself to carry its violent energy.
Therefore, the launch interval is as long as half an hour, and this is with the assistance of multiple cooling systems.
With a little anticipation, he stretched out his hand.
[Sunshine Star-Splitting Special Type: A gun barrel made of Chenyao alloy, equipped with an energy generator made of stellar core.
Control conditions: 6 million metal energy
Control Effect: Coronal Glow
Control ability - bombing: materialize the naval gun and bombard a target. (Note: requires pre-charge)
The requirement to control up to six million metal energies made Li Ming astonished, but he nodded secretly. The control requirements were high and the power must be great.
"This one shot will probably pose a threat to Brot, not to mention Sandro, who will most likely be reduced to charcoal."
After many days of preparation, this moment was exactly what he had been waiting for. Without hesitation, six million metal energies surged out.
The huge Sun-Burning Star disappeared into the box, and the wind speed inside the box increased significantly.
But then, a gun barrel that was almost identical to the Sunshine Star Rifter appeared in the empty box, and even the energy generator at the end looked exactly the same.
The air flow was extremely turbulent and it took a while to calm down.
[Sunshine Star Splitting Model--Class C]
This is a model made by Li Ming. It is already considered a C-level item. From design to manufacturing, it consumed more than 100,000 metal energies.
Snap--
Zog came back to his senses in a trance, frowned slightly, and just as he was about to step forward, he retreated and muttered, "We've already tested it, what else are you looking at?"
Glancing at the quiet Sunshine Star again, Zog seemed to have imagined the power that the main gun would unleash, and a blush appeared on his face.
Then he turned around and walked out, ticking the smart terminal in his hand.
After coming out, he ran into Hector, who had already finished the test. He couldn't help but ask, "How is it? Doesn't this Sunshine Starburst look more impressive than in the photo?"
Zog was stunned for a moment, then nodded involuntarily: "Of course, you'll know when you go in and take a look."
After watching his partner go in, Zog did not go to the other box where the main gun was placed, but waited at the door.
More than twenty minutes later, Hector came out, looking a little dazed. Seeing Zog, he was slightly stunned. "You're pretty quick. Is the 'Eternal Frozen' okay?"
"I haven't been there yet." Zog shook his head and grinned, "I'm just waiting for your expression after you see the Sunshine Star Splitting."
Hector grinned and gave a thumbs-up: "Top-notch stuff!"
The two smiled at each other, and Li Ming returned to Zog's shadow.
"Okay, let's seal it." Hector patted the metal box and called his men over to lock the box.
The main ship has not yet begun assembly, so these main guns need to be temporarily sealed.
