This is not mechanical ascension.

"Trouble!" He cursed, "Who on earth got in the way and killed Fu Zongchen?"

If Fu Zongchen hadn't died, smuggling wouldn't have been so difficult.

"By the way, about the Apostle of Fireworks." The bearded man suddenly said, "I have an idea."

The Fire Source looked over, "Tell me."

"Why not let Li Ming take action and help us solve this trouble." He said:

"Most of the officials who were trapped in Fu Zongchen's villa have now formed a small group. About ten days ago, someone organized a party. Li Ming seemed to have gone there. If he takes action, he should be able to solve this trouble."

"No." The Source of the Cross refused flatly: "It's not time to bring him in yet."

The bearded man added: "We don't have to expose our identities. Maybe we can induce him to take action from other aspects. It's time to try."

The Fire Source hesitated. Corruption is step by step. Li Ming is related to their big plan. Sooner or later, he will know.

"It's not the time yet." The Fire Source still refused, "Think of other ways. If it doesn't work, try to let him take action."

Everyone agreed and nodded.

………

In Xia Yuanlun's laboratory, the old professor's face was livid, and he gnashed his teeth: "Chen Jinglong, you bastard, you are nothing!"

He cursed for a long time, and only stopped when there was a knock on the door. He calmed down, and after Ding Hui came in, he lowered his head and said carefully: "Where did the news from the Dwarf Mountain Civilization come from? Mr. Castelon will come to visit soon."

"Castellon!?" Xia Yuanlun's face, which had just calmed down, became even uglier, "Damn it, his son has just been admitted to the Yitlan Huangzhong Mechanical College. He is here to humiliate me again, damn copper-skinned dwarf!"

Ding Hui was helpless. He had seen this Castelon more than once, and each time he was scolded, he was depressed for a long time.

…

Three days later, in the training room, Li Ming lowered his head and eyebrows, breathing rapidly, and his arms trembled.

You can clearly see that the taut blue veins are beating.

Under the skin, you can vaguely see the red light flowing in the blood vessels, and the surface of the skin is bursting with blue arcs.

"Ah--" A suppressed roar came from his throat, and his body seemed to have reached a certain limit, and blazing arcs exploded from his arms.

Then, the muscles in his arms expanded rapidly like balloons, and his arms were nearly two meters long, with wide palms, which contained explosive power.

The closer to the shoulders, the thinner they were. The overall look was very uncoordinated, but the power was real.

Li Ming panted and adjusted quickly, thinking in his heart--

"As the gene seed level gets higher and higher, the changes presented are getting bigger and bigger. When I merged the F-level gene seed, even the core ability only stimulated a little arc, and the change was not that big."

"But now, only 30% of the combat skills have changed significantly."

At C level, gene liberation can be carried out, which is almost the same as gene distortion. What about higher levels? The burden on the body may be even greater.

The last time he saw a survey data, only in the Silver Star Cluster, no less than 50,000 evolvers died of gene distortion every year.

"Evolution?" He suddenly thought of it again.

"The gene sequence may not only be used to improve overall strength, but also to prevent one's body from deforming through such a combination." Li Ming had such an epiphany.

He took a long breath, and his two arms shrank and adapted. He felt his arms swollen and painful, so he simply stopped exercising.

Instead, he opened the smart terminal again, which contained a document - qualification review and requirements for applying for a small laboratory.

He read it line by line, and paused for a long time on the scope of research funding approval every six months.

...

"Teacher, teacher, where did you go in such a complicated situation?"

In the office, Luo Chuan kneaded his brows. In the dialog box on the smart terminal, only his side had a series of messages, and Wu Yanqing did not respond.

He had vaguely felt that the storm around him was gathering and smelled the smell of turmoil.

If something really happened, it would be difficult for him to protect Li Ming.

He sighed, feeling restless for some reason, and got up and went outside the laboratory building.

It had just rained two days ago, and the air was very fresh. After taking two deep breaths, Luo Chuan felt refreshed.

Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he saw a guy with shifty eyes, looking around, with a bit of nervousness and trepidation on his face, carrying a big box on his back.

He became alert in his heart, and dodged to the other person. Before the man could react, Luo Chuan grabbed the other person's throat with one hand, lifted him up, and said in a cold tone: "Ten seconds, tell me your origin and purpose."

"My name is Liu Zeng, the eighth hired captain of Kuta Security Company. The purpose of coming here is to find Li Ming to make weapons for me."

Liu Zeng was a little flustered at first, but he quickly reacted, and even did not resist, and quickly reported his origin.

"Looking for Li Ming to make weapons?" Luo Chuan frowned, opened the smart terminal with one hand and asked the guard. There was indeed such a person, and Li Ming let him in.

After getting an accurate response, Luo Chuan put the other person down without any apology on his face, but continued to question: "Why are you so timid?"

"It is said that this is Professor Wu Yanqing's laboratory. I have never been here, so I am nervous." Liu Zeng smiled helplessly.

"Heh, it seems like a reasonable explanation." Luo Chuan sneered, "But your excuse is too bad. I remember that Kuta Security Company seems to have a contract with Professor Xia's laboratory."

"The people in Professor Xia's laboratory are experts in this field. Why don't you go to them, but come to Li Ming?"

Luo Chuan did not see the panic of the plan being exposed on Liu Zeng's face, but a little strange: "Experts?"

"They used to be experts, but they haven't been since more than a month ago."

"Huh?" Luo Chuan frowned.

"Mr. Li Ming is a weapons expert, and his craftsmanship is perfect." Liu Zeng looked respectful:

"It is said that you don't even need to tell him what you want, as long as you give him your original weapon, he can create the most suitable weapon according to your usage habits, without even a design drawing."

"No matter the length, width, or weight, or auxiliary functions, or even details that you don't realize, they are all handled perfectly, as if he understands the weapons, a real master of mechanical craftsmanship."

"As for the mentors in Professor Xia's laboratory... they are powerful, but they have bad tempers." Liu Zeng scratched his head and said:

"I heard from several big brothers that when they modified the design drawings, they didn't dare to make too many requests."

"For some places that are not easy to adapt to, you can only bite your teeth and accept it, and then get used to it yourself."

Luo Chuan looked suspicious. If others praised Li Ming for his amazing development speed and terrible strength, Luo Chuan could understand.

But he never expected to hear such remarks from the man in front of him.

Weapons expert? Li Ming?

Li Ming had indeed been to Professor Xia's laboratory several times before. Luo Chuan thought he was just there to learn and observe, but now it seems that he is not what he imagined.

"Are you sure you are talking about Li Ming?" Luo Chuan was still a little suspicious.

"Of course." Liu Zeng said firmly: "Zhao Lei from our company has a chain saw knife in his hand, which was made by Li Ming."

"Last time I took a security mission, I was robbed by predators on the road. I boarded the ship to fight, and my bullets were all used up. I relied on the chain saw knife to kill the predator leader. The development progress is 20% higher than his!"

Luo Chuan's face changed. This is too... bizarre

Li Ming is really a weapons expert. He bought so many metal materials before, not for fun.

"Okay, I know, you come with me." Luo Chuan thought about it and decided to take Liu Zeng to find Li Ming in person.

After knocking on the door of the studio, Li Ming opened the door and was stunned for a moment, "Brother?"

"I met someone outside the laboratory, and he said he was looking for you." Luo Chuan turned aside to reveal Liu Zeng, who was a little excited.

"Oh, Liu Zeng, right? You know my rules?" Li Ming said familiarly, letting the two in.

"I know." Liu Zeng nodded hurriedly, "The original weapons must be brought in, regardless of whether they are damaged."

"The materials I brought are all here, and the labor fee will be deposited into your account."

"Well, come back in three days to pick them up, or I can send them to you." Li Ming took the weapon and looked at it, then threw it on the workbench.

Liu Zeng opened the box he brought and picked up the materials.

Luo Chuan witnessed the whole process, looked around, frowned slightly, and hesitated to speak, and finally said hesitantly, "Brother, are you also working part-time to upgrade weapons?"

"Well, I took a few shots, and the business supplemented the family income." Li Ming glanced at him, with a hint of meaning.

Luo Chuan seemed not to have heard the last sentence, "Is your level so high?"

"Not bad." Li Ming said.

"Not bad?" Liu Zeng, who was picking up materials on the side, raised his head: "You are too modest. Mr. Ding Hui said when he introduced me that in a few years, even Professor Xia will not be as good as you."

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Li Ming added, and he felt speechless. What rumors did Ding Hui make up to promote him.

However, in terms of weapons alone, as long as he is given metal energy and mother ore, A-level weapons can be made.

Hmm... not necessarily, upgrading to A-level may also require some conditions as an auxiliary, such as special energy.

But being able to make B-level weapons is also a bit shocking, so he is only taking some D-level weapons now, slowly building a reputation, and then making C-level weapons after a while.

"Professor Xia is not as good as you?" Luo Chuan swallowed hard, feeling more and more magical.

Professor Xia is a master of mechanical craftsmanship, and he is well-known throughout the Blue Star. Many C-level life forms, and even B-level life forms, ask him to build weapons suitable for them.

Now, Li Ming will be able to surpass Professor Xia in a few years?

He subconsciously suspected that it was marketing. Li Ming might have talent, but it was not to such an extent.

Liu Zeng pulled out the materials and left with his tattered box.

"Aren't you working? I'm quite curious." Luo Chuan looked at Li Ming.

"Brother, I have a quirk. When I work, no one can watch me." Li Ming explained.

"Oh oh." Luo Chuan did not doubt him, and sighed in his heart. When he was about to leave, he saw something out of the corner of his eye.

That was...

He stopped and walked hesitantly to the other side, where there was a tall mecha. The angular alloy block was covered with earthy yellow lines, which was full of rich beauty, making people feel as if they were seeing a mountain.

Luo Chuan looked at the mecha and felt something vaguely. His eyes condensed slightly and his palm suddenly blasted out. There was a muffled bang, and the surface of the mecha did not move at all, but the wind and waves were surging.

"Senior brother?" Li Ming walked over quickly, with a look of surprise on his face.

Luochuan asked him, "What is this?"

"The Tanwei mecha was polished bit by bit when I was free. Several rooms of flame blue alloy are all on it." Li Ming explained.

"Flame blue alloy." Luo Chuan was stunned, and then his expression became more and more apathetic, and he looked around, "Is this where you built this mecha?"

"Yes." Li Ming nodded matter-of-factly: "The main reason is that refining the flame blue alloy is too time-consuming. Fortunately, the electromagnetic furnace matrix and the tungsten alloy high-speed forging table are pretty good."

"And that photon hammer, Ding Hui brought it to me. Without it, I can't hammer the final refined fusion metal."

Exposing this mecha is, on the one hand, to explain the whereabouts of the flame blue alloy, and on the other hand, it is also to meet the application needs of the small laboratory of the Polytechnic University.

Luochuan's throat rolled as he looked around at the so-called "simple" environment.

Can you make a mecha out of this?

Now he really wants to open Li Ming's brain and see how it grows.

The alloy on the surface of this mecha can even block his attacks. Although it is not full force, it is still amazing enough. The defense level has reached C level.

He now somewhat believes that in a few years, Li Ming will surpass Professor Xia in weapon creation.

"Junior brother." Luo Chuan suddenly said, "Senior brother treated you well before, right?"

"Senior brother, if you have something to say, you should just tell him directly." Li Ming's eyes were alert for a moment.

A smile appeared on Luo Chuan's face, "In the future, when you are capable, remember to help your senior brother build a weapon."

"No problem, it's a small matter." Li Ming assured.

Just as Luo Chuan was being sent to the door, the lights in the room flickered, and with the buzzing sound, the entire corridor darkened.

Luo Chuan's expression suddenly darkened, he protected Li Ming with his right hand and looked around cautiously.

However, within two seconds, the lights in the entire laboratory came on again.

Opening the smart terminal, the security captain has come to explain.

"The monitoring system went down, causing the security system to restart?" Luo Chuan looked ugly: "After a few days of vacation, you have lost all your skills?"

He cursed a few times, told Li Ming to be careful, and then left with a gloomy expression.

Li Ming agreed, closed the door, opened the smart terminal, took a look, and said with a grin: "The virus finally got in. The firewall level is really not low. It took me so long."

This downtime was not accidental. During the annual holiday some time ago, Li Ming had been thinking of ways to hack into the security system while there were few people in the laboratory.

Thanks to his high technical level and the ability to bury multiple spore mitoviruses through internal operations and subsystems, he succeeded.

"I've been curious about Lao Wu's underground laboratory for a long time."

There are many secrets related to the gene purification particles in his body, but he knows very little about it and is always unsure.
