Chapter 531: The Difficulties of Rough Preparation
These two abilities are... just average.
Li Ming muttered, the gene mixer was born along with the evolution of gene seeds, but the path of gene evolution only stopped at level x.
The most powerful gene seed mixer is at the level of Sheffield. Unlike mechanics, he still has the Holy Spirit civilization to pursue.
This means that the control system can be upgraded to a professional level, which must be lower than this level.
"Forget it, I can just do my own research later...it's just a waste of time..." Li Ming couldn't help but think: "For now, I still have to rely on Sheffield."
At the same time, their hard work on the blacksmith side and the inspection of the body of Taegos have basically been completed.
Sheffield was reviewing the test report, his brow furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficulty. He looked back and forth for a long time before he sighed and looked up helplessly.
"Your Excellency Qinglong, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."
"Powerless?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"Alas..." Sheffield sighed again. "The genetic strength of the star beast you provided is simply too high. There's almost no substance that can help stabilize it."
Li Ming was slightly stunned, and the knowledge that had just flooded into his mind suddenly emerged.
The preparation of genetic seeds can be roughly divided into three steps: extracting genes, stripping off gene fragments, and finally preparing them into seeds.
The genetic instincts of higher life forms are unparalleled and must be stabilized with the assistance of various other substances to ensure that there are no accidents during the preparation process.
But Tygos is so powerful that it is difficult to stabilize him.
"Actually, I suggest you trade this corpse with the three major civilizations," Sheffield suggested. "They must have stocks of common star beasts within them."
"The body has great research value, and they won't refuse it."
"Use this powerful one to trade for the not-so-powerful one?" Li Ming asked back with a frown.
"Actually, there's no need to strive for perfection..." Sheffield explained, "This star beast's genetic strength is very high. If the fusion is successful, its strength will leap beyond its peers. The ratio of development progress to energy level is very likely to reach one to three."
"But this is just the beginning. If we embark on the ultimate path, the strength of the X-gene seeds we find cannot remain this high. There is no need."
Li Ming remained silent. He was different from others. He would not take the ultimate path, nor would he fuse more gene seeds.
However, the benefits of striving for excellence will be huge after the expansion of the control system.
Because of the huge gap between X-level life forms and ultimate life forms, he was somewhat skeptical about whether he could compete with the ultimate life form after being promoted.
Naturally, he had to strive for excellence to ensure that he reached the level he wanted.
"I'm not considering the deal." He shook his head in denial.
Sheffield was helpless. This kind of mentality of striving for perfection was more common at lower levels. At this level, it was good enough to have any choices, so there was no right to be picky.
"But, this star beast, I really..." Sheffield hesitated to speak.
"I remember that even without stabilization, it can still be adjusted," Li Ming interrupted.
"No stabilization?" Sheffield couldn't help but frown, remembering that the last time he prepared the S-level gene seed for Qinglong, he did not carry out the final stabilizing material fusion.
He explained, "It's different. The so-called stabilizing substance in the gene seed last time refers to the stabilizing substance that takes effect after being integrated into the body, not during the preparation process..."
"I understand. That's the fusion stabilizer. What I'm talking about is the 'rough preparation method.'" Li Ming explained.
"Rough preparation method?" Sheffield looked at Qinglong in surprise, and then frowned.
Of course he knew the rough brewing method.
That was in the early days of the emergence of the genetic road. The technology for blending genetic seeds was not yet fully mature, and no one knew about stabilizing substances, nutrients, or gene fragment stripping.
At that time, they basically extracted the genes of the original body, fiddled with them a little, and then injected them directly into the body.
"Since you know the rough-bone modulation method, you should also be aware of its distortion rate. Even when optimized to the highest level, it's still as high as 85%." Sheffield advised.
"Not only is the risk of fusion too high, but even if that were the case, it would require the condensation of embryos, and the probability of successful blending is also very low."
"A low success rate is better than not being able to mix it at all." Li Ming shook his head, "Let's use this method."
The risk of fusion is not a problem for him. With the support of defense, the probability of any distortion will be reduced to zero.
The only thing he needed to worry about was whether the deployment would be successful. He glanced at his new job again.
[Auxiliary work] There is no level requirement for the ability. It is estimated that it can also have an effect on the x gene seed.
As long as we wait for the final deployment and suppression stage, with his assistance, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Don't worry, sir. Whether you succeed or not, I won't blame you." Li Ming emphasized.
Sheffield smiled bitterly. Just listen to this. Such a precious corpse may not be found in the entire universe. He just messed it up. Isn't Qinglong angry?
This is also one of the reasons why he is more resistant to deployment.
Li Ming added, "It's still the same old rule. I only want one copy, and the extra is yours."
Sheffield's eyes flashed, but he quickly subsided, and his throat rolled.
This corpse is extremely complete, and the tissue requirement for the crude embryo preparation method is very low, only 30% is needed for preparation.
If perfect, this corpse can even produce three copies of gene seeds.
Qinglong's ambition is indeed great.
"Even if the mixture is just a rough draft, as long as the technical level is reached, it is not impossible to further optimize it. This kind of strength is rare for those who crave evolution, so it is normal to take some risks..." He pondered in his heart, considering the pros and cons:
"This is also a rare opportunity for me. This kind of star beast is rare in the universe. If I succeed, my skills will be taken to the next level."
“Done!”
After thinking it over, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Since Lord Qinglong has said so, I will try my best."
"I believe Mr. Sheffield can do it." Li Ming nodded, and then asked, "How long do you estimate it will take to deploy it?"
Sheffield explained: "Even if we were to make a rough embryo, it would be difficult to succeed in a short period of time. Its body strength is too high. It would take at least a year, or even longer, to dissolve it..."
Li Ming had anticipated that his attacks would hardly cause any damage to Tygos. Even though it was just a corpse now, it would take time for him to deal with it.
"No problem, just take your time." Li Ming nodded and added, "However, when you make the final adjustments, remember to notify me and wait until I arrive before proceeding."
These are all preliminary processing tasks and have not yet entered the deployment process, so the [auxiliary operation] capabilities cannot be used.
"Okay." Sheffield was puzzled and didn't ask any more questions.
Li Ming followed up by emphasizing, "Also, I hope this matter will remain confidential."
Sheffield said solemnly, "Don't worry, sir. The families of all my experimental personnel are at the company headquarters. During the deployment period, no one is allowed to go out, and the core area will be blocked from the Internet."
He doesn't plan to do anything weird about this matter. The risks and benefits are not proportional.
Qinglong's strength has long surpassed that of X-level life forms. No one knows who this gene seed is prepared for, and it is not worth causing trouble at all.
The cooperation was finalized, and his experimental staff had already begun working intensively.
Sheffield didn't need to intervene in the initial stage, so the two left the core laboratory and returned to the top-floor office, where they chatted about some details along the way.
After Sheffield asked him to sit down, he asked with a hint of emotion, "Sir, are you aware of the recent uproar over the expansion of the Higher Life Forms Alliance?"
"Do you want to join the United Organization of Higher Life Forms?" Li Ming glanced over.
"We will definitely join," Sheffield said, his words carrying a profound meaning. "However, the three major civilizations will not sit idly by."
"It is said that they are planning to replace all ten board members with their own people."
"Oh?" Li Ming became interested. He really didn't know about this, but he was not surprised.
Sheffield said sadly, "When the empire was founded, this loophole was left. The ten-member board of directors is based on strength, but when it comes to strength, who can compare to those from the three major civilizations?"
"I'm afraid there's going to be a major reshuffle."
It seems Anatoli suggested replacing the ten-member board of directors based on their strength...
Li Ming recalled that when he followed Gustav and the others back to the ship, he did not see any anxiety or restlessness among them.
That’s not true. That woman, Seniel, was nowhere to be seen in the later period.
He was quite worried. "It's not just the three major civilizations. There are also many people eyeing the ten-member council seats. The Dwarf King, the Lady of Women, and even Anduin's strength cannot be said to be convincing..."
He, Anduin and Azure Dragon all belong to the Chaos Star Gap. Once they enter, they will definitely help each other.
But if Qinglong or Anduin's seats on the board are stripped away, their forces will surely be oppressed.
At this point, he glanced at Qinglong obscurely and added: "Even you, Your Excellency, will inevitably experience some turmoil."
Naturally, he would not underestimate Qinglong's strength and methods.
But here lies the troublesome point: the rotation rules for the ten-member board seats are based on strength.
Under normal circumstances, what we are talking about is naturally individual strength.
But Qinglong is the only mechanic, and most of his strength comes from the various mechanical bodies under his command.
His previous fighting methods have also proved this point. If someone uses this as an excuse to attack him, I am afraid he will find it difficult to deal with it.
Moreover, Sheffield can be sure that this will happen in nine out of ten cases.
"Thanks for the reminder." Li Ming did not comment. He really didn't care about things like the board seat.
His main task now is to ensure the successful deployment of gene seeds, without any accidents in the process, and then steadily increase the development progress to 100%.
Giving up is not impossible.
Seeing that Qinglong didn't seem to care much, Sheffield thought he had a sure win and felt a little relieved.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and then Li Ming made an excuse to leave.
Sheffield personally sent him to the spaceship and watched him enter the stargate.
"Father..." Monica stood behind him and asked curiously, "Your Excellency Qinglong, what brings you here this time?"
"It's none of your business." Sheffield shook his head, turned to look at his daughter, and suddenly smiled, "It's come true."
Monica was a little confused, then her face changed slightly, she snorted coldly, turned around and left.
………
On the spaceship, Tan Wei faded away, and he reviewed everything that happened in Yeyue Biological Company.
"I've intimidated him, hinted at him, and given him benefits... He shouldn't seek death." His eyes moved slightly, and he switched the object he controlled, his consciousness floating away.
The next moment, he returned to Sheffield's laboratory. The view was quite high, and there was a low, noisy sound all around.
"What kind of star beast is this? It's too abnormal. The cutting machine has even worn a hole in it..."
"...That was Qinglong just now. Just like what they said in the news, they all like to use mechas."
"...This star beast must have been killed by His Excellency Qinglong. It's so terrifying..."
He had a full view of everything around him, and while wandering around the Sheffield laboratory, he secretly activated a certain mechanical device.
After marking it, you can remotely descend at any time and be the first to know if there is any change.
This was the second mechanical body he had permanently marked.
"Everyone..." Sheffield's voice suddenly sounded, and he walked into the experiment.
The busy staff stopped their work and looked at it together.
Sheffield looked serious: "Next..."
After shifting his focus, Li Ming nodded secretly, thinking that there was no big problem on the Sheffield side.
The round trip took very little time. In the blink of an eye, another day had passed and they had returned to the Mechanical Royal Court.
Not long after returning to the star base, he received a communication request from an old acquaintance, a private encrypted channel.
"Anduin?" Li Ming's thoughts were swirling. He switched his username and answered the call.
"Blue Dragon..." Anduin's solemn face flashed. Without further ado, he got straight to the point. "The Higher Lifeforms United Organization has recently expanded, and there's going to be a major purge of the board of directors. Did you know that?"
"You contacted me because of this?" Li Ming was surprised. "I thought it was because of the Holy Mother Church..."
Anduin paused. "I'm still investigating the Holy Mother Church, and I've found some clues."
"However, they've tightened their belts and curtailed all non-essential activities. Many branches are deserted, and a large amount of resources have been diverted. They must be carrying out a highly confidential plan..."
When Anduin said this, he glanced at Qinglong. The other party must know what the Holy Mother Church was doing.
At the same time, he discovered one thing.
Apart from him, no one seemed to pay attention to the Holy Mother Church. If the Holy Mother Church was really related to the events in the Red River Star Stream, this shouldn't be the scene.
But the clues he found proved that the Holy Mother Church was indeed doing something.
This led him to the conclusion that perhaps even the Empire and the Federation did not know that the Holy Mother Church was involved, but Qinglong knew it.
Anduin thought for a moment, then shook his head. "That's too much. The problem right now is the board of directors."
He said in a deep voice, "I've received news that the three major civilizations intend to take over all seats except the chairman's, expel us all, and gain absolute voting power."
