Chapter 666 Completely Repairing the Speculation about Adam
In the Royal Court Heavenly Palace, Li Ming opened his eyes. The energy particles on the surface of his body gradually faded away. He couldn't help but frown: "I estimate that it will take at least two months to advance 1% of the development progress."
After becoming an X-level life form, development efficiency declined again severely, taking two months to advance by 1%, and five years just to reach the 30% threshold.
"Oh..." Li Ming sighed. He knew that this time was already shockingly short for most X-level life forms, but it seemed a little long to him.
"My guess is, taking into account efficiency decay, it will take at least fifty years to reach full capacity..."
The reason he sighed was because this was only external time.
In the time distortion standpoint, the time he felt was not discounted at all, which was very dull and lonely just thinking about it.
I opened the control page and took a look. Except for the [Evolution Source Crystal], all of them were X-level Evolution Source Materials.
If you want to improve, you probably have to use the ultimate level of genetic essence.
At present, the only ultimate life form he knows about is Tanus.
The [Evolution Source Crystal] is a special type of controlled object. Although it is applicable to all levels, it cannot be upgraded.
There is basically no other way to improve development efficiency in a short period of time.
"Well, according to the records, the Eternal Holy Throne seems to have a promoting effect on the evolution of life forms." Li Ming frowned slightly when he thought of this.
Levenbeck and the Holy Mother Church seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
He secretly asked Anduin to find help from the United Organization of Higher Life Forms. Most of the galaxy was within the tentacles of the United Organization, and it would be difficult to avoid any disturbance.
There is also channel monitoring of the black hole network, and many key materials for biological experiments are also monitored by the black hole network.
However, there is no relevant news.
"If this guy learns from Gustav, it will be almost impossible for him to get what he wants or do what he wants." Li Ming was quite worried about this.
He really wanted to create a control object that could directly lock onto the target's position. He had tried before, but at least he had to have contact with the target and have information about it.
Locking something out of thin air, probably only the ultimate control object has this ability, but he can't find the upgrade materials, so his stubbornness ends up in a dilemma.
Shaking his head secretly, Li Ming stood up and headed towards the warehouse inside the Heavenly Palace.
In the past two months, he has accumulated 40 billion metal energies, plus the original remaining 13 billion, it has reached a huge 53 billion.
But to repair the Crown of Diglas, it would cost 55 billion, which is still 2 billion short.
However, this is just a small number. In the past five or six days, another batch of metal materials arrived and has been placed in the internal warehouse.
This batch is Wujing alloy, gray-black crystals, and it is also an old acquaintance.
After absorbing it in a familiar way, the last 2 billion was gathered.
Li Ming didn't even return to the development room, but simply repaired it here.
A broken crimson crown appeared in his hand. As metallic energy poured into it, a molten gold luster suddenly appeared deep in the cracks, as if magma was slowly flowing in every fissure.
The widest crack is located in the center of the crown and is one of the few "V"-shaped gaps.
The liquid metal throbbed like awakening blood vessels, pulling the crystals on both sides of the gap into spider-web-like filaments.
These glowing threads weave autonomously in the void, gradually forming a forked structure similar to the tail feathers of a phoenix.
The thorn pattern on the surface seemed to come alive, the broken branches twisted and reconnected, and at the end of the new thorns, energy crystals in the shape of miniature roses bloomed.
The cracks gradually disappeared, and the Crimson Crown moved towards its most complete form.
However, just after the last crack disappeared, Li Ming's face changed slightly, and the entire crown suddenly disintegrated into thousands of red meteors.
These crystal particles swirled wildly in the energy field, and each collision sent out orange-red sparks like a forging hammer hitting an anvil, as if undergoing a complete reshaping.
Soon, these crystal particles gathered together again, and the crimson crown emerged again, crystal clear and integrated, extremely magnificent.
[Crown of Digras - Ultimate: A crown forged with the full strength of the Titan race, possessing extremely strong defensive power.
…
Control Effect: [Rock Solid]
Control Ability - Red Gauze Crown Wall: A defensive barrier is formed on the body surface, which has no effect on all non-ultimate-level offensive means. The effect of all ultimate-level offensive means is reduced by 70%.
Li Ming's eyes lit up. After being fully repaired, his ability had indeed undergone a huge transformation. It was no longer just a defense against direct attacks, and its range had expanded.
Li Ming estimated that the so-called offensive means should include mental attacks, force field suppression, and other strange means that could cause harm to him.
"It feels like being invulnerable to all attacks." Li Ming couldn't help but grin. As long as the defense could not be broken, the ultimate attack method would be directly reduced by 70%, and only 30% would be left on him.
"I don't know if the Kashmir Spear pierces the Digras Crown, will the 100% armor penetration take effect first, or will the attack reduction take priority..."
Li Ming muttered to himself, the collision of the "spear" and the shield made him quite eager to try it, but after thinking about it, he gave up this boring idea.
These are all control abilities, but they won't be so precise when put into practice.
He checked [Rock Solid] again, and sure enough, the defense boost soared directly from three hundred times to one thousand times, simply and crudely.
After equipping it, he could even clearly feel an extreme sense of solidity bursting out from his body. The control effect was a passive ability and did not consume anything.
The current comprehensive defense blessing has reached more than 1,300 times. The cells in the body are not just wearing armor, they are blocked by a fortress, and the meat is incredible.
What follows is an indescribable sense of security.
Now, even if Tanus suddenly attacks, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Li Ming left the warehouse with satisfaction. On the way back to the development room, he sent a message to Ulrich, asking him to adjust the production line again and resume half of the production.
Stopping investing resources in production and purchasing all metal materials may be enough for a short-term emergency, but the Mechanical Royal Court also has its own business to run.
And the mechanical bodies must continue to be produced to meet his trinity concept.
However, most of his expenses for purchasing metal materials came from the Mechanical Seeds, and the Mechanical Royal Court only supplemented a part of it.
Even if half of the production is restored, at least 700 to 800 billion metal energies will be earned every month.
"There are still six mechanical guards left, and they haven't been upgraded yet, which means 60 billion metal energies. It will take at least half a year to collect them..." Li Ming calculated.
It is worth mentioning that the Mechanical Guard after being blessed cannot be considered the ultimate power and cannot be used as the fusion material of the Trinity.
Li Ming speculated that it was probably the same principle as the Mechanical Holy Spirit, whether it was the Mechanical Holy Spirit or the power of the Trinity.
They all merge other objects and forces into one.
However, most of the fusion materials are not controllable objects, and the final fusion body cannot be considered a mechanical guard, so it naturally cannot continue to enjoy the blessing.
Thinking all the way, Li Ming returned to the development room. Before he developed the gene seeds, he received a communication request from the navigator.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, "Video communication?"
The navigator rarely used video to contact him, and he guessed that something big had happened.
The body changes, and Qinglong comes online.
After pressing the confirm button, the navigator's usually gloomy face on the virtual screen was now filled with excitement. "Your Excellency Qinglong, what a great opportunity, what a great opportunity..."
"What's wrong?" Li Ming was even more surprised. He rarely saw such an excited look on the other person's face.
He said hurriedly, "I just received news that a shocking change is about to happen. You must prepare as soon as possible. There will be a major change in the empire."
"A shocking change?" Li Ming stared at him suspiciously. "Where did this news come from?"
"High-level spies from the House of Commons and the House of Lords, these two long-dormant forces, have suddenly united during this period and are carrying out various actions around the Empire's home planet." The navigator quickly explained.
"The Imperial Star Guard, the Imperial City Patrol Fleet, the Imperial City Security Corps, and a series of other military forces have all seen frequent personnel changes among their high-ranking officials. This is enough to indicate that major changes are about to occur."
"Hurry! This is a rare opportunity to carve a piece of flesh from the empire, or even... split the territory."
Li Ming's eyes flickered. He was not affected by the navigator's excited words. Instead, he asked, "Are you sure this is not a trap?"
The excited navigator paused, his expression subsiding slightly before adding, "I understand what you mean, but it's basically impossible. Many forces have already heard the news and are taking action. If we don't prepare early, we'll probably lose the initiative."
"Yeah." Li Ming nodded, not objecting to the navigator's idea. "I understand what you mean. We can indeed start preparing for some things."
Seeing Qinglong relax, the navigator nodded and said quickly, "Then I will continue to find out the news."
Li Ming nodded and ended the communication.
He opened the smart terminal and clicked on a pitch-black icon.
Then a series of messages popped up. This was a special software customized by the Black Hole Network, which summarized messages all the time.
The information that popped up was the information he was paying close attention to.
He took a quick look at the information he was interested in, such as "Levenbeck", "Alchemist Baron", "Holy Castle", etc., but there was no progress.
During this period, the most news summaries were about the empire.
"...The trend of high-ranking officials fleeing the empire is intensifying..."
"...Aatrox is under attack..."
“…”
The situation in the empire changes every day. According to the data from the Black Hole Network, many civilizations and forces in the interstellar space have sent people into the empire to find out what is going on.
Especially those forces and civilizations that had conflicts with the empire in the past, their activities were extremely intense.
Take the Holy Revolutionary Army as an example. With the help of the previous few years, it was just removed from the joint organization's hit list. It only took a breather in the past two years, but it has already entered the empire.
Taking advantage of this wind that came from nowhere, a great movement was stirred up, and the fire of revolution was ignited again.
As a large number of spies poured into the empire, the information they conveyed became more diverse. The Black Hole Network focused on summarizing three types.
Adam is suspected to have died from his injuries
"Joint rebellion of the Houses of Commons and Lords"
"The empire is struggling to take care of itself and is showing signs of fragmentation"
No matter which one, it is blatantly provoking the nerves of many interstellar forces.
When a whale dies, all things come to life.
If the empire falls, there will be countless people to feed and make a fortune. Even if it doesn't fall, you can still gain a lot of things during the chaos.
All in all, the empire was in chaos.
"Adam hasn't shown up for such a long time. Could he really be dead?" Li Ming checked the records and found that except for the time when he returned to the empire's home planet, Adam showed up twice.
In the past six months, he has made very few appearances.
"Either I'm really going to die, or it's a matter of the overall situation..." Li Ming had enough time to think while developing the gene seeds.
The current chaos in the empire is the result of Adam not intervening at all.
Li Ming had deeply speculated on the first possibility. Given Adam's defensive strength, the possibility of being suddenly attacked was not high, but it was not impossible.
If the House of Commons and the House of Lords are pushed into a corner, they may indeed retaliate and make Adam suffer the consequences.
The second possibility is more interesting. If it is a big game, Ya must have the ability to end the game.
Such a huge disturbance, which seems to be getting worse, has really attracted the large-scale entry of hostile forces.
Even if the empire could handle the situation with its own strength, it would be seriously damaged. There is no need for such a layout at all.
"Unless, the ultimate life form..." Li Ming had already thought of this possibility, so he asked the navigator whether it was a trap.
But he is also researching the ultimate gene seed, and he has talented people under his command. Sheffield and his team are making extremely slow progress.
According to what they said, based on previous research data, even if the three major civilizations work together.
If everything goes well, it may take at least ten years, or even several decades, to create the perfect ultimate gene seed.
If things don't go well, it could take hundreds of years.
It has only been about two years since the three major civilizations split up and conducted their own research. How could the Empire possibly develop a usable ultimate gene seed?
Li Ming didn't quite believe it, and neither did other people who knew the inside story.
However, there is no cost for imagination.
Li Ming frowned slightly. "If Adam really has become the Ultimate Life Form, it means he has special means. He can shorten the time it takes to research the Ultimate Seed."
To be honest, based on the analysis of the existing clues, the only thing he could think of was the help of the Eternal Holy See.
With the help of the Eternal Holy See, it is even possible to fuse the flesh and blood of Morris and the Overlord, and it is indeed possible to assist in the fusion of the Ultimate Gene Seed.
And since Levenbeck is a person proficient in biotechnology, this speculation is reasonable.
But Li Ming always felt that his guess was made because he was too eager for the Eternal Holy Throne.
"Levenbaker and Adam are in collusion, is it possible..." Li Ming's eyes flashed.
Whether it is true or not, we can find out by going to the empire's home planet.
With his current strength, he is not afraid even if Adam becomes the ultimate life form.
But what he was afraid of was that if Adam was not on the mother planet, he might scare him and it would be impossible for him to find the Holy Emperor of the Empire.
