Chapter 503: Find Something for Qinglong to Do
In the Mechanical Royal Court, Li Ming opened his eyes and stretched out his hand. A misty red-gold liquid was slowly flowing and sinking into his fingers.
"It took more than ten days, which is not too slow." Li Ming muttered.
After absorbing the blood of the world, he took the smart terminal and scanned the messages.
"...The lab was built so quickly. Mikhail is really efficient..."
"Hmm? News from the Empire?" Li Ming found a piece of information that was found through the channel of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms.
It still belongs to the official foreign affairs department.
"...The Crimson Wolf, one of the Empire's higher life forms, Your Excellency Ivan, lost contact some time ago near the Mechanical Royal Court. If Your Excellency Azure Dragon has any leads, please let me know..."
The first time I contacted him was ten days ago, the second time was five days ago, and the most recent time I urged him was three days ago.
"I hope Your Excellency Qinglong will respond as soon as possible."
"Is it so natural?" Li Ming couldn't help but frown. Ivan had become ashes, there was not a clue at all.
He was too lazy to pay attention and simply blocked her.
He scanned another message from Monroe, and couldn't help but become interested. He stretched his limbs slightly, then left the main base and headed straight for the R&D department.
It is called a research and development department, but in reality it only reproduces various materials left by the hammer forger.
Monroe is just a great mechanic, and his research and development capabilities cannot keep up with the development of the Mechanical Royal Court.
In the R&D department and core laboratory, this large and sophisticated instrument is placed in a spacious space.
Monroe pointed to the silver metal helmet in front of him and said, "This is the spiritual projection device of the Hammersmith..."
On the forehead of the helmet, there is a crystal clear purple crystal, emitting some invisible ripples.
Li Ming was quite envious of the way other master craftsmen could travel outside relying only on mechanical bodies.
Monroe started his research long before heading to the Red River Star Stream.
Monroe explained with a hint of shame, "Although we had the blueprints left by the master forger, it was still very difficult to manufacture. It took four or five months to succeed."
"However, this is not a simple mental projection, but a spiritual body projection."
Monroe explained, "Conventional consciousness projection involves transferring a portion of your mental energy remotely. The advantage of this is that even if the network is disrupted, a portion of your mental energy can continue to be active."
"But once traumatized, this part of the mind will be permanently damaged, and the danger is very high."
"This improvement in the Hammersmith's equipment allows them to create virtual spirit bodies through a method similar to quantum entanglement. This has extremely strong anti-interference capabilities and will not harm the body itself."
Li Ming nodded and tried to touch——
[Spirit Body Projection Device - Special Type: A crude copy of the Divine Craftsman's technology.
Control conditions: 300 million metal energy
Control Ability - Marking: Can mark three mechanical bodies and descend at any time as a virtual consciousness.
It's a special type with no levels?
Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised. The cost of 300 million to control it was not low.
In other words, this thing is not like a weapon that requires hardness.
Moreover, most of the core materials can be purchased, otherwise Monero cannot be reproduced.
This [Marking] ability should be more useful than its own virtual mental mapping, after all, there is an "at any time" instruction.
"Thank you, sir." Li Ming nodded, and Monroe also waved his hand, "You're welcome."
He left with the thing and returned to the main base room. He used the little remaining metal energy to control it and chose a mechanical body to try it out.
"Interesting..." Li Ming looked at himself, as if his vision was split in two, with both his real body and the mechanical body appearing in his observation, which was quite strange.
He can also focus on a certain field of view.
He experimented for a while and found that the anti-interference ability was indeed terrifyingly strong.
Li Ming's current means of blockade and interference are unable to cut off the connection between the two.
"It just so happens that Mikhail wants me to go to the Divine Craftsman Laboratory and send a mechanical body." Li Ming thought about it and asked Suzaku to give a few instructions while he comfortably developed the gene seeds.
………
More than half a month later, a slender spaceship leaped into a void starry sky, and the surroundings seemed silent and dark.
But not long after, ripples appeared in the void, and warships appeared out of thin air, as if to welcome them.
The slender spaceship followed these warships, passed through the invisible barrier, and arrived at a space barrier. The silver-white metal shell stretched out for a long distance with sharp edges and corners, and the energy light around it danced like flowing colors.
The force of the magnetic field causes the surrounding space to distort.
The spacecraft was towed into the airport, where Mikhail and Reynolds were already waiting.
As a result, when he saw that the person walking down from the spaceship was just a mechanical body like the Darth Vader, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Didn't I tell you that it's best to come in person? Why is it a mechanical body? Even Li Ming wasn't sent." Reynolds muttered.
The mechanical body's pupils moved slightly, and its body stiffened. Li Ming had already arrived and said, "I have something to deal with over there, so I really can't get away."
Reynolds and Mikhail have become accustomed to the fact that no communication fluctuations can be detected when the Azure Dragon descends.
Reynolds sighed, "Mikhail is right. You're probably studying the thing that Protoss gave you, and you can't pay attention to this at all."
Mikhail's cheek twitched. Li Ming glanced at him but didn't care. He said, "I have great confidence in the skills of the two master craftsmen. One more person won't make much difference."
Mikhail had anticipated this and said calmly, "Everything is basically ready. I wanted to wait for you to come and start together, but since you can't spare the time, let's get started first."
They all came in their real bodies. In this kind of high-tech experiment, any fluctuation or delay may cause all the efforts to be wasted.
This involves their future evolution, so naturally they have to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
The two men took him into the laboratory and showed him around. There were all kinds of cutting-edge equipment and instruments prepared there, many of which Li Ming had never even seen before.
They first began research on the prototype of the Mechanical Seed.
During the main experiment, Li Ming looked at the mechanical seed placed on the operating table and couldn't help but ask.
"How long do you think it will take to succeed?"
"It's hard to say." Mikhail shook his head, his expression quite solemn. "Although this is only the lowest level of mechanical seed, it contains the essence of Holy Spirit civilization."
Reynolds added: "Preliminary testing has been carried out, and the materials used are of a nature we have never seen before. Results may not be available for ten years, but could take tens, hundreds, or even centuries."
Mikhail nodded. "But, we have plenty of time. Once we succeed..."
At this point, his eyes couldn't help but glow, "Our strength will increase horribly. We won't even need a united organization of higher life forms to rival the three great civilizations."
Reynolds nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this path of mechanical evolution can not only benefit the vast number of mechanics, but also affect the mechanical bodies under our command."
Li Ming couldn't help but look strange, and praised: "What a good idea, I'm looking forward to your good news."
Mikhail's expression became restrained and he glanced at him with dissatisfaction, but thinking of the Mechanical Holy Spirit, he didn't say much.
Li Mingze asked, "By the way, how's the discussion going on with the Machinists Association? It's been almost three months."
"It's basically been negotiated. Many of the Empire and the Federation's allies have gradually restrained themselves two months ago. The announcement should be made within ten days." Mikhail looked more serious.
"However, the Mechanics Guild has already suffered a heavy blow, and the Covenant has been completely kept in the dark. They are unlikely to cooperate with the Empire and the Federation, and there will be consequences for us."
"It's only in name, but it's good enough to have a name." Li Ming shook his head.
"It's not completely dead in name only. This has both advantages and disadvantages. At least it helps us weed out a large number of bad apples. After our discussion and incorporation into the Interstellar Alliance, both the assessments and subsequent oversight will be very strict." Mikhail couldn't help but say, "Perhaps this is also an opportunity for a complete transformation."
The Mechanics Association was a mixed bag, with various factions already formed. Even Reynolds and Mikhail were involved, so it was extremely difficult to slim down the organization.
Now, external forces have helped them complete this step, and those who remain are basically mechanics who do business honestly and have not violated any regulations.
"After the announcement, I plan to let the Mechanical Royal Court gradually enter the orderly civilization through the Mechanics Association. I hope the two master craftsmen can help me a lot." Li Ming said frankly.
Reynolds agreed generously: "No problem."
Mikhail's eyes flickered, and he nodded. "The chaos during this period has squeezed out a lot of the market. The Mechanical Royal Court is a good opportunity to intervene."
After happily reaching an agreement, Li Ming then asked, "How's the situation with the corpse? What's the situation with the Empire and the Federation?"
"The Empire and the Federation are still arguing over the location of the experimental base. Both want to choose a place closer to them." Mikhail scoffed. "I'm afraid they'll have to argue for a while."
"The three of us can just send a few robots over there to pretend. They might get in our way."
They are not prepared to really contribute to the Empire and the Federation. They still have to research the seeds of machinery and don't have that much time.
There's no benefit in studying corpses.
Li Ming couldn't help but grin. When they were besieged, Mikhail vowed to do his best.
Now that it's out, it's all changed.
However, this was also his plan, to send a mechanical body to monitor the progress.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Li Ming found a room for his mechanical body to stay.
He sent this mechanical body here to actually supervise the progress of the two master craftsmen and ensure that everything was under his control.
………
"...Klonoa really switched sides?" Adam's stunned voice could be heard from the screen. His expression quickly subsided, and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
In the battleship office, Costat smiled helplessly. "I don't know the specifics, I just know that Li Ming descended upon that dimensional world again. After only ten days, Chronoa switched sides."
"Did a battle take place?" Adam immediately speculated, but then denied it: "No, if Qinglong could have overpowered Kronoa with his strength, there wouldn't have to be such a big deal."
His brows were furrowed, his heart was not at peace. Klonoa's surrender came without any warning, which shattered many of his ideas.
Qinglong became increasingly unpredictable, and the opponent's movements were heading in the direction he least wanted to see.
Suddenly, he became alert and asked in a deep voice, "Did Li Ming already know that you had deliberately warned Chronoa?"
"I exchanged this information as Talos, and Klonoa said he didn't reveal it." Costat said quickly, "I can sense Klonoa's emotions. He's very unwilling and angry."
"Although I don't know what methods Li Ming or Qinglong used, he must have been very angry. He was forced to terminate the cooperation with us."
"This means that he probably won't help Qinglong either."
Adam breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to reveal his identity as the Blood Loser yet, so he nodded and said, "You did well."
"But..." Costat sighed, "Since Klonoa has withdrawn its protection, the several locations we previously targeted have been destroyed, resulting in a significant loss of manpower."
The deep dimensional world has a special structure and is full of dangers. Most of the dimensional worlds are not fixed, but are always wandering.
Moreover, the powerful force of the forbidden creatures can penetrate the barriers of the dimensional world, affect the outside world, and cause harm.
Chronoa's aura could have helped them avoid a lot of trouble.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's just collect them first." Adam frowned.
After ending the communication, I felt that the current situation was a bit tricky.
After thinking for a moment, he was shocked that Qinglong had reached this level.
He hadn't even moved yet, but just looking in a certain direction had caused him such a difficult trouble.
Once this matter is known to the other pioneers, it will cause even greater trouble.
If Qinglong goes there in person...
"No... We can't let Qinglong set his sights on the Star of Eternal Silence." Adam's face was solemn. It would be best to let the trouble of Qinglong be left to the "enemy" to deal with.
"He has to keep an eye on Heckler as planned. They have to fight."
As he thought about it, his heart moved slightly, and he opened the drawer. A black ring was flashing with light.
The Pioneer Conference was probably convened by Qinglong to announce the matter of Chlonoa.
………
In the Mechanical Royal Court, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes, was dazed for a moment, and took out the Pioneer Ring from the control column.
The conversation I just had with the navigators went over in my mind.
Knowing that he had solved Klonoa's problem, they were naturally shocked.
At the same time, he was also very suspicious. After all, the speed was too fast. That was a forbidden life, not a minion, but this matter was easy to verify.
As soon as it is confirmed, the Forger will go to meet up with the Navigator. As for the Guide, Florian, he will have to wait.
As for the Bleeding One, the old guy's reaction was indifferent.
He pondered, "Hmm... Have the Pioneers keep an eye on the Eternal Silence Star. Chronoa has retracted its tentacles, and both sides are on the same starting line. Adam shouldn't suddenly succeed."
This Adam is mysterious and has some intentions towards him.
Li Ming couldn't figure out the specific situation and was always on guard, so naturally he wouldn't let his plan succeed easily.
But he would not easily go to the deep dimensional world.
That old pervert Klonoa would definitely hunt him down to death once he sensed his presence. If he called on his friends, there was a high possibility of disaster.
