Chapter 619: Rubbing the Power
The seeds of machinery can continuously bring in huge amounts of income and be converted into metal energy.
However, there are still some minor issues that need to be resolved before mass production can begin.
But Mikhail thought that he should push him out first while his influence was still there.
Otherwise, if you wait for a while, who knows what might happen.
…
There has been constant turmoil in the interstellar space recently, and the news of the three major civilizations publicly apologizing has not yet subsided.
An even more devastating piece of news spread like wildfire.
The Machinists Association announced that --
Under the research of the three great master craftsmen headed by Qinglong, a new path of evolution has been found and named - the path of mechanical evolution!
It also provided a series of research materials and published them on the official website.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. This news quickly sparked discussions among all levels of the interstellar world, and the public opinion it aroused did not seem as intense as the public apology from the three major civilizations.
But in fact, the depth is far beyond that.
Because not everyone pays attention to major events in the interstellar space, especially some female life forms, who are naturally not interested in these "fighting and killing" news.
But a completely new evolutionary route is closely related to almost every living thing.
Development potential is almost innate and difficult to adjust.
If a life form has low development potential and is born into a poor family, it will not have any resources for its own evolution.
The extraordinary power is right in front of you, but you are unable to touch it. You can imagine the pain it is.
This new evolutionary path gives them hope.
The first thing he did was to rush to the official website of the Machinists Association to check.
The surge in data views even caused the official website to crash at one point.
The pressure was only slightly reduced after other media outlets also reprinted the news.
After downloading the data, many living beings were confused when they saw thousands of pages of research materials.
If you don’t understand, you can only seek help from others in Interstellar.
Someone has already summarized it immediately, and it is so simple that it only has one sentence:
"This evolutionary path is only suitable for pure mechanical bodies and mechanically modified bodies with more than 90% of the modified area. Poor people are not allowed to enter."
The article is concise and to the point, explaining obscure information in plain language.
Although this evolutionary path does not require the development of potential, it will transform oneself into a mechanical life form.
First of all, mechanical modification surgery is required, the price of which is too high for ordinary people to afford, plus the cost of purchasing the machinery.
Although the specific selling price has not yet been announced, everyone knows that it cannot be too low.
However, once transformed into a mechanical life form.
According to the information disclosed by the Mechanics Association, evolving to a Class B mechanical body is very easy compared to other evolutionary routes.
It is enough to just keep absorbing the metal material.
As for higher levels, there is no detailed information yet.
In other words, this is a krypton gold evolution route.
After learning the details, many people immediately started cursing, and this evolutionary path is not for most people.
But there are still some people who are ecstatic. Just spend money?
That’s awesome too!
And just a few days later, this information almost spread across the entire interstellar space, and even in some extremely remote civilizations where almost no one paid attention to interstellar news, there was relevant information.
The name of the main researcher, Qinglong, has also become known to more people.
At the same time, the price of metal materials skyrocketed.
Although the Mechanical Seed has not yet been publicly sold, the characteristics of this evolutionary route that is extremely dependent on metal materials have already been revealed, which is naturally beneficial.
The three major civilizations held a summit meeting as soon as possible, and Adam and others gathered in the virtual conference room.
"What do you think of this new evolutionary route?" Adam spoke first.
Malcolm rubbed his brows, puzzled. "How did they develop this so quickly? It's only been a few years."
Gutierrez, who was clearly not in good shape, was quite stunned. "You know they're studying this evolutionary line."
He glanced at Adam and found him calm, which made him even more surprised. "You knew that too?"
"This is the technology of the Mechanical Holy Spirit. After all, it is not created from scratch, but just reproduced." Adam nodded, but he was quite surprised when he first knew it.
But he soon figured out the reason. It was the so-called "little secret" that Li Ming had obtained in the ruins of the Mechanical Holy Spirit's civilization.
It is very likely that it was that thing that promoted their research progress.
"Since you already knew about this, why didn't you stop it?" Gutierrez frowned, suddenly thinking of something else: "Wait, Holy Spirit Civilization?"
"Are the deaths of Gonzales and Crow related to this incident?"
Adam and Malcolm's expressions suddenly became subtle. This was an old story.
Gutierrez had already sensed something was wrong and said coldly, "What else are you hiding from me?"
"We just thought they hadn't succeeded so quickly," Malcolm explained. "We didn't mean to hide it."
"Besides, this isn't a bad thing for us. It's a brand new evolutionary path that they can use."
"Do you dare to use it?" Gutierrez scoffed. "They only gave us partial information and were so secretive. Who knows what traps are hidden?"
"The most crucial thing is the Mechanical Seed, which was created by the three great master craftsmen. If he left any backdoors in it, who among you can find it?"
Malcolm could not help but remain silent. Gutierrez's concerns were certainly correct.
"Troublesome..." Adam shook his head, his eyes flickering. "Qinglong has been in the spotlight lately."
Gutierrez snorted coldly. He had been dealing with the impact of his last defeat during this period.
I don’t know how much benefit I paid to barely keep my position as the chairman of the Star Alliance, and I have no time to pay attention to Qinglong.
Malcolm couldn't help but sigh:
"Qinglong has been prepared for a long time. Li Ming and his Mechanical Royal Court have already obtained mining rights in many places, as well as the right of first refusal to purchase mineral stars within various civilizations."
"The price of metal materials has skyrocketed, and he's making another killing. Besides, he's also been scammed out of the ransom we settled."
Thinking of the finalized ransom agreement, Gutierrez's heart was bleeding. He couldn't help but emphasize, "We have to find a way to reduce his prestige. The outside world has praised him to the point that he can suppress us alone. If we don't do something, we will become a laughing stock."
"How are the preparations for that matter going?" he asked.
Adam said with a deep look in his eyes, "It's almost there. After we succeed, it should make many people realize that we are not without checks and balances."
Having said that, Malcolm and Gutierrez's expressions looked a little better.
………
"The price has increased!?"
In the Holy Castle base, Kostat stared at the virtual screen with an extremely gloomy face. His breath was unstable, strands of energy leaked, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted.
"So they were waiting for us here!"
Costat never imagined that Qinglong's request to settle the bill based on the price of metal materials on the day of negotiation was actually a trap.
He thought that the prices of metal materials would rise and fall, so it was not a big problem.
Who would have thought that this guy would turn around and come up with a path of evolution that is extremely dependent on metal materials.
The news just came out, and the average price of metal materials of all levels has increased by 10%. Once the mechanical seeds are actually put on sale, another 20% increase will be too little.
In order to raise so many high-end alloys within Qinglong's time limit, they would have to purchase them from outside. The skyrocketing prices forced them to spend a lot of money.
Who knows, at that time, they might even use Qinglong Holdings' materials smelting company to sell him materials at a high price.
Thinking back to how I had asked Qinglong not to break the promise, my cheeks felt burning.
Dealing with Qinglong is full of pitfalls. If you are not careful, you can fall flat on your face. Costat felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Qinglong..."
Heins and Schmidt did not mock the Imperial Prince at this moment.
This time, Qinglong not only deceived the Empire, but they were also angry and helpless.
"No one has ever played tricks on us like this." Hines breathed heavily and gritted his teeth.
"Alas..." Schmidt smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"If we don't kill him, we might as well disintegrate sooner rather than later." Hines said in a deep voice.
Heckler, standing not far away, said indifferently, "If the Federation organizes a coalition, the Empire will not follow."
Hines paused. The current situation was caused by the coalition forces' inability to defeat Qinglong and the inability to balance the high-end combat power.
He was just venting a few words, how could he possibly organize another coalition?
"It's said that the higher-ups have found a way to check and balance the situation, and they'll announce it soon." Schmidt asked, "Do the two princes have any inside information?"
Costat's eyes flickered slightly. He and Heckler were both princes of the empire. They knew more information than these two guys and did have inside information.
Heckler said calmly, "They are planning something else. Our main goal now is the Holy Castle."
"Of course!" Hines asked in a deep voice, "Then, Your Highness, could you tell us exactly how you plan to open the Holy Castle?"
"We've invested so many resources, and they haven't even given us a reliable signal. Even though we've closed the star gate, if we delay any longer, who knows if Azure Dragon will come and kill us."
"It's almost there, almost there, don't worry," Heckler said perfunctorily, but his tone was extremely confident. "I promise, I will definitely be able to open the Holy Castle and rub the Azure Dragon's majesty."
…
Sheffield's secret base has a lot of different kinds of medicines. When the development progress reached 74%, Sheffield finally came to find him.
"Tell your teacher that the gene seed is ready for the final stage of preparation."
Sheffield's face was a little tired, as if he had aged a lot.
With the energy of an X-level life form, seeing this expression on his face is enough to prove how much he has exhausted during this period of time.
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and without hesitation, Qinglong's vest came online, and Tanwei's eyes lit up.
Sheffield's expression suddenly became more serious. "Your Excellency Qinglong, we have entered the final stage of the deployment process."
He didn't know why Qinglong intervened in the final stage. If the other party was also proficient in biological modulation technology, he should have intervened in the early stage.
He shouldn't have waited until this moment. Although he felt strange, he still kept Qinglong's instructions in mind.
"Okay." Li Ming nodded. "Let's go. I'll help you."
help me?
Sheffield had a strange look on his face, but without saying much, he took Qinglong to the modulation center deep in the base.
…
At the same time, in the deep dimensional world, an unprecedented energy riot is taking place. Streams of light of various colors collide with each other, exploding into boiling ripples, which are then quickly swallowed up and destroyed.
The coverage area is so vast that there is almost no end in sight.
I don’t know how long it took, but I could vaguely hear an angry and desperate roar.
Then, this boiling sea of energy gradually subsided.
A figure rushed out, it was Tandin.
At this moment, his hair was disheveled, his specially made metal armor was covered with cracks, and the gloves on his hands were on the verge of breaking, with blood constantly flowing out.
Following closely was Alves, no longer holy, his body trembling and his face grim.
One figure after another came out, and Holmes, the holder of the Void Anchor, was also here. His face was pale, his breath was weak, and he still held the Void Anchor tightly in his hand.
There were also a few guys who looked seriously injured, and they seemed to be from the Covenant.
Finally, four bodies were carried out. Tandin and Alvis were both saddened because one of them was someone they knew.
However, they still stared at the gradually calming sea of energy behind them.
Suddenly, a breath that frightened everyone emanated from it, and Tandin subconsciously straightened his seriously injured body.
A golden light flashed, and first a broken throne flew out, pulling a faint golden tassel.
There was a flash of greed in everyone's eyes, but it was well concealed.
Following it came a gray-black giant over ten meters tall, with fine golden lines all over its surface.
However, if you look closely, you can find that they are not lines, but cracks, which are constantly repairing and cracking, and the breath is sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
The terrifying aura that hit them in the face made everyone's hair stand on end.
A ball of scarlet blood floated in one of his hands, emitting something special.
Morris looked around at everyone, his expression suddenly changed, and then a horrifying bloody crack appeared on his chest.
Immediately afterwards, a huge forearm floated out, and the aura on Morris's body suddenly dissipated.
His body gradually shrank until it returned to its normal size. Then he split the World Blood in his hand in half, smeared it on the surface of his body, and then slowly sank it into his body.
Tandin and Alvis obviously hesitated for a moment, but in the end they did not stop him and watched him absorb all the blood.
The listless state was swept away, and Morris's body was filled with an increasingly surging breath of life.
He felt the power rising in his body, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and spiritual waves spread out -
"You may report now."
………
The shock brought about by the path of mechanical evolution has not yet subsided, and the name Qinglong is being discussed all over the galaxy.
From time to time, someone would mention the miserable state of the three major civilizations, drawing a wave of agreement and ridicule.
Many people are lamenting that the prosperity of civilization has its own laws, and this may be the key to the decline of the three major civilizations.
In such a situation, the three major civilizations suddenly jointly announced a piece of news -
"The forbidden life form, Istanbul, recklessly interfered with the main universe, causing heavy casualties to several civilizations. It has been killed by the joint forces."
