Chapter 425: Interstellar Shock
Many people could see that the empire's troops stationed abroad were already shaky and full of leaks.
But the Empire made a decent exit with the help of Ryan's incident -
You didn't force me to leave. I discovered the problem myself and left on my own to maintain interstellar safety.
Almost no one expected that the Empire would withdraw directly just as public opinion on the Xingyuan Republican Alliance was gaining momentum. It was like hitting cotton with a punch, which made people feel uncomfortable.
At that time, several civilizations jumped out and claimed that they were unwilling to let the imperial garrison withdraw, or wanted to withdraw together.
The Empire was obviously planning something bad and secretly orchestrated a move, turning opposition to the Imperial garrison into opposition to the garrison.
The Sea of Stars is so vast that there are countless civilizations, and it is not only the Empire that has troops stationed there.
The Federation has a large number of garrisons, and even large local civilizations have a large number of garrison bases in other civilizations.
It’s just that the Empire has been exposed recently and has been the main target of attack. Now they have withdrawn directly, but those who didn’t withdraw will be embarrassed.
As a result, the Empire's reputation rose sharply in contrast to the Empire's "active self-examination" and other civilizations' "playing dead and not responding."
This matter fermented for a few days. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, and some people even protested in front of the Federation's garrison base, the Star Cluster Republican Alliance was forced to turn the whole thing back into an interstellar massacre.
Ryan must be executed under the joint supervision of the Interstellar Alliance.
But almost at the same time, the Interstellar Alliance also issued a statement -
[Due to the increasing instability of the interstellar situation, the Interstellar Alliance and the Empire have joined forces to temporarily establish a joint organization of higher life forms to deal with similar interstellar massacres or more serious incidents that endanger interstellar security.]
A united organization of higher life forms?!
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. This statement came so suddenly that it stunned everyone.
This makes the already complex interstellar situation even more unpredictable.
Li Ming finished his conversation with Adam, waited for the spaceship to arrive, and then returned to the Mechanical Royal Court.
He kept an eye on the developments on the interstellar network all the way, and it was half a month later when he arrived at the Mechanical Royal Court.
"Adam was planning to abandon the garrison outright. No wonder he was so ruthless towards Ryan. With internal and external troubles, these garrisons are no longer a help."
"And the empire's vulnerable areas are shrinking. It's really shrinking into a tortoise shell. By the time Adam cleans up the old empire and rebuilds the country, he'll definitely become a pervert."
Li Ming muttered as he watched the discussion on the interstellar network about this united organization of higher life forms. Most ordinary life forms did not realize what this meant.
They are all just curious. There is news that has been circulated that there are already ten people among them, all of whom are interstellar giants, but there is no way to know who they are.
Many civilizations that had been clamoring to make the empire pay a higher price have fallen silent, obviously afraid.
The empire can’t afford to play this game, so it actually released this thing. What if it gets out of control?
Even the Star Cluster Republican Alliance fell silent, frantically trying to gather information about this united organization of higher life forms. No one knew what they were secretly gaming.
He was quite happy and at ease. The competition among these major forces gave him room for development. He could go back and digest the gains, as he also had many things to do.
"Anduin is so fast?"
Coming out of the star gate, Li Ming looked at the busy expansion teams around him and couldn't help but sigh that it was different after his status was raised.
On the way back, he came into contact with Anduin through the introduction of the Soul Mechanic Reynolds.
The second-level star gate is an ultra-large-scale star gate that can connect to 128 star gate nodes at the same time and support more than 1,000 transport ships in parallel, making transportation more efficient.
The star gate he saw at the headquarters of Yeyue Biological Company was a second-level star gate.
A temporary base will also be built around the secondary star gate to accommodate several large groups cooperating with Stargate, including Giant Shield, making everything much more convenient.
"I remember Anduin said that the supervisor this time is an old acquaintance." Li Ming glanced at the super-large mechanical arms surrounding the star gate.
…
At the same time, in the starry sky where Kostart was ambushed, a shadow emerged silently, flying back and forth for a long time, without any other movement.
Levenbeck just appeared from the void with a vigilant look in his eyes. He was already scared by Qinglong and was afraid that there would be an ambush.
"Finally left."
After waiting for a while and finding nothing unusual, he finally felt relieved.
Looking at the desolate starry sky before him, he sighed helplessly, "I don't know how much more I can collect."
A crack of flesh and blood appeared behind him, and many figures in black robes flew out from it, standing in several positions on the battlefield, as if waiting for some kind of signal. The flesh and blood spread, entangled and combined, and then formed a huge special symbol.
A faint flash of blood appeared, and then the void trembled and ripples appeared in the space.
After waiting for a long time, a drop of bright red blood was squeezed out, followed by the third drop and the fourth drop.
When the blood gathers to a certain size, it suddenly condenses together, and then slowly proliferates, gradually turning into a thumb-sized ball of flesh.
Seeing this, Levenbeck breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay. I squeezed something out. Although it's still a bit difficult to restore it to its original state, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Thinking of the price he had to pay, his cheeks twitched involuntarily. There was nothing he could do about it. Li Ming couldn't move against Qinglong.
If you want to make up for the shortcomings of alchemical materials, the blood of the Terraxians is another option, but there is no one else in the Empire who has the same conditions as Ryan and is willing to cooperate with him.
This is the only way to try to clone Ryan, at an extremely high cost, and it may not be successful.
"Don't worry, I have plenty of time." He exhaled slowly, and the figure of Qinglong appeared in front of him again. He turned and walked into the bloody gap.
………
He greeted the Mechanical Royal Court and asked someone to treat the spaceship that brought him back well.
Not long after he landed, the general supervisor of the star gate expansion also arrived. The other party had contacted him many times, but he was never there.
When Li Ming saw the other party's name, he met him as soon as possible.
“Oh, oh…”
When I pushed open the door of the reception room, I was greeted by a familiar laugh and the iconic bright red clothes.
That’s right, the supervisor is Austin.
"Little friend, long time no see." Austin was still very enthusiastic and looked at Li Ming with emotion in his eyes.
When they first met, Qinglong pretended to be just a Casting Star mechanic and was only showing courtesy.
Later, I found out that Qinglong seemed to be quite capable among the star-casting mechanics, so I thought about investing in him.
He even asked his nephew to register, almost by paying him money.
As a result, the development of the situation was beyond his expectations. Not long after, Qinglong became a master craftsman, which really scared him.
This made him secretly admire his own sharp vision many times.
Then, this time, the subsequent turmoil caused by Ryan blocking the door has now reached a level beyond imagination, and the big boss Qinglong was also involved.
Even his own boss Anduin had to be treated politely. Seeing that Anduin and Li Ming had had many contacts and had a good relationship, he specially sent him to be the supervisor to build a good relationship.
"Sir." Li Ming was very polite and had a good impression of Austin. Last time, he came specially to fix the passage to the dimensional world for him.
And his nephew Trevor has borrowed a lot of money and hasn't paid it back yet.
"You're welcome." Austin's eyes sparkled, but he was secretly wondering in his heart why this guy's life force seemed so strong and unpredictable.
He did not follow the path of genetic evolution, but an evolutionary path called [Rune Mage]. The main principle was to hone mental strength from the very beginning, and then manipulate all kinds of forces in the universe, possessing all kinds of incredible abilities.
Therefore, his perception was quite strong, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong with Li Ming.
"Impossible, right?" An incredible guess suddenly popped up in his mind, making his heart jump. "Impossible, definitely impossible, this is too fast."
"Sir?" Li Ming saw that Austin was just staring at him, his eyes almost glowing green, without saying a word. He suddenly got goose bumps and stepped back silently.
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something. Please sit down." Austin woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Li Ming, motioning him to sit down.
This seems to be my territory... Li Ming muttered to himself, but this guy Austin never follows the rules in his style of doing things.
He didn't care and was about to sit down when he felt something strange in his body.
When he looked up, he found that Austin was holding him tightly, his pupils were wide open, and his withered and thin arms were shaking.
"Is it really an S-level life form?" Austin's heart was filled with shock and disbelief.
He had witnessed with his own eyes the guy becoming an A-level life form, and it was only a little over a year ago.
And now it has become an S-level life form, and its speed is so fast that he is dumbfounded.
This...how terrifying is his development potential?
He subconsciously didn't believe it in his heart, but the feedback from the "detection spell" could not be false.
"He found out?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows, coughed dryly, and said, "Sir."
"Oh, oh..." Austin woke up from his dream, his face changing, and there was a kind of fear in his eyes. "Well, I have something to tell you. This expansion will probably last for three months, and the transfer node will be completed in half a year..."
"I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore. Please give my regards to His Excellency Qinglong."
Austin left in a hurry after he finished speaking, as if he was afraid his life would be in danger if he was a second late.
"Is he afraid Qinglong will kill him to silence him?" Li Ming was speechless. "Why is he so curious?"
He didn't care that much about this matter. It couldn't be hidden in the first place. As long as he saw the true form of any X-level life form, he would most likely be exposed. However, with the power of the Azure Dragon he had created, he had nothing to be afraid of.
Unable to reminisce about the past, Li Ming shook his head, walked out the door, and headed straight for the mechanical warehouse. Ulrich, who had returned earlier than him, was already waiting there.
"Sir..." Ulrich looked respectful. For some reason, he felt a sense of oppression from Li Ming.
"Since you left, we've accumulated a total of 500,000 D-class robots and 1,000 C-class robots. They're all here," he said. "We should be seeing a large-scale expansion soon, and these will come in handy."
"Yeah." Li Ming nodded and walked straight in. The densely packed mechanical bodies almost filled the entire warehouse.
He couldn't help but grin, and stretched out his hands. The arc storm suddenly spread out. Thanks to the ability of the [Mechanical Lord], a large amount of white and blue light exploded continuously, mutating into a higher-level mechanical body.
Suddenly, a flash of purple light exploded. Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. In the deep purple arc storm, a large number of mechanical structures were constantly reorganizing and transforming, with clanging sounds.
In the end, everything fell silent, and what appeared before the eyes was a burly iron cavalryman riding on a mechanical warhorse.
The warhorse was made entirely of black alloy, with hard and sharp lines, and blue energy flames spurting from its joints. Every step it took made the warehouse tremble, and it was three meters tall.
The armor on the mechanical knight shone with a blue-gold light, with arcs of electricity jumping in the complex patterns. The metal helmet covered his face, revealing only a pair of mechanical pupils emitting a cold light.
In his hand, he held a huge energy spear, with the tip of the spear flashing with electric light. The combined height of the two was nearly six meters. This was an A-level mechanical body.
"I'm so lucky! There's only a 0.01% chance of getting an A-grade mechanical body out of a C-grade mechanical body, and one thousand of them appeared?" Li Ming was in a good mood, as if he had drawn gold for free.
After leaving the room, Ulrich was still waiting there. Li Ming pondered and said, "Next, increase the proportion of C-class mechanical bodies to 30% and invest all current resources in circular expansion."
"Do your best to take over the arms market in Chaos Star Gap."
Capturing the firm confidence in Li Ming's words, Ulrich made a promise, "Don't worry, I'll do it at all costs!"
He was still very confident in the work of this old fox, so Li Ming nodded and left.
Watching Li Ming leave, Ulrich's eyes were blazing with ambition.
He has now discovered that Qinglong and Li Ming do not like to trust others easily, and until now, they have not recruited subordinates on a large scale.
The reason why he trusted them was also due to his "life-and-death gamble". In this case, his position was actually very stable.
As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, with his intelligence, it would be easy for him to be second only to two people and above everyone else in the Mechanical Royal Court.
As long as the Mechanical Royal Court continues to expand, even S-class life forms will have to behave themselves in front of him!
The fire in his heart was burning higher than ever before. He turned and walked into the warehouse, ready to distribute these mechanical bodies to various locations.
"this…"
As soon as he entered the warehouse, Ulrich paused.
Standing in front of him was a tall mechanical knight, emitting a cold aura. He was startled and felt a threat from the other party.
A-class machine? His throat rolled.
