This is not mechanical ascension.

Chen Jinglong has been watching from the side, silently, his eyes falling on Li Ming.

"What alloy ratio is this?"

"The flame blue alloy can actually be refined to this level..."

Ding Hui was amazed and discussed with Cheng Tienan. Li Ming vaguely saw Huang Jijian's figure in the corner, but did not come over.

"Okay, okay, let's go together." Xia Yuanlun waved impatiently and took Li Ming back to his office.

"Li Ming wants to apply for the mecha laboratory, so he must be qualified. He has built several weapons, and I have used them all. I have a solid knowledge of all related things."

After Xia Yuanlun used Li Ming's armor to vent his anger, he formally discussed it with Chen Jinglong.

"A small laboratory is a funded laboratory. He is capable, talented, willing to work hard, and perfectly meets the requirements." Xia Yuanlun spared no effort in speaking kindly.

The specifications, approval procedures, and funding allocations of small laboratories cannot compare with those of large laboratories.

In essence, it is to support researchers to continue on the current research path.

"I understand." Chen Jinglong seemed to have had an idea in his mind for a long time. Xia Yuanlun didn't say a few words before he agreed: "I will convene a professor committee as soon as possible. For a small laboratory, I only need one-third of the votes. Then you can pass.”

"You don't have a big problem." The last words were said to Li Ming.

"You can be approved for your own small laboratory at the age of nineteen. You can be considered a new record for Blue Star." Chen Jinglong said with some emotion.

Although Li Ming has amazing development potential, he would not vote in favor if he did not have the ability.

After all, professors at the Polytechnic University also have their own sons and grandsons. Who doesn’t want to pluck wool?

He was a little doubtful that Li Ming's application for a laboratory had other ingredients, but as long as it was compliant, it would be fine.

"Thank you, Dean, Professor." Li Ming thanked him, but he was not surprised at all. It was expected that he would pass.

He has already worn out the C-level armor. If he still can't pass, Chen Jinglong shouldn't be the dean anymore.

"By the way, that Castellon may try to contact you. Although he has a venomous mouth, he also has real materials. You might as well contact him." Before leaving, Xia Yuanlun reminded again.

Li Ming was thoughtful and suddenly asked: "Does this great mechanic have a lot of mother ore in his hands?"

Xia Yuanlun's face darkened again when he mentioned the mother mine. Thinking of his collection being robbed, he glanced at Chen Jinglong coldly, "That's for sure. The Castellon family has been mastering machine craftsmanship for generations. The background is terrifying.”

Li Ming understood and left with Chen Jinglong. He personally sent Li Ming back to the laboratory.

According to him, this matter can be done within two days, and it is not a big deal. Remote voting also counts, allowing him to consider the location of the small laboratory.

At the same time, after obtaining approval, the Polytechnic University will be responsible for the construction of the laboratory and the purchase of equipment.

He can purchase experimental equipment with a total value of no more than 20 million star coins. After designation, the Polytechnic University will purchase it.

Professor Xia has provided him with several options, which are very cost-effective.

After seeing Chen Jinglong off, Li Ming wandered back and forth on the island. He must have chosen the location of his laboratory here. Not only was it safe, but it was also convenient for everything.

There was a small forest on the back island, and Li Ming visually inspected the coverage area.

"Just here, it should be enough." Li Ming calculated that this place is one or two hundred meters away from the experimental building.

These green belts are not a problem, just cut them off.

Just to be on the safe side, he found Li Ruoning, who was back from vacation, and asked with a virtual map if the land had any other uses, or if there was anything buried underground.

"There..." Li Ruoning checked the information and finally shook his head: "There is no other use there. The professor originally planned to build a private swimming pool there, but Professor Bai later complained and finally shelved it."

"Private swimming pool..." Li Ming looked tense, "Since there is no other use, I will circle it first."

When Li Ruoning heard this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Censure him? What are you going to do?"

Li Ming explained: "My small laboratory is going to be located there."

"Oh..." Li Ruoning nodded suddenly, and then suddenly froze in place, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but come forward: "Your small laboratory!?"

"Did I hear you correctly? When did you have a small laboratory?"

"It will be there in two days." Li Ming explained, and then said: "When the time comes, just ask them to pull electricity from our laboratory to save me from paying the electricity bill."

"No, you..." Li Ruoning still felt a little dreamy.

Li Ming is going to have his own small laboratory? How many tutors at the Polytechnic University have failed to get approved, but Li Ming is so determined?

Is it because of Professor Wu?

She subconsciously thought about it, but was immediately denied because Wu Yanqing was not very popular and could not get through the back door.

"What laboratory?" Li Ruoning asked.

"Mecha laboratory." It's not a secret. Li Ming said: "The equipment in the studio can no longer keep up, so I simply applied for a laboratory."

Li Ruoning swallowed hard. Is this human language?

If those bald men in the laboratory knew about it, they would be very sad.

Thinking about it, she rolled her eyes and rubbed Li Ming with her shoulder: "Junior brother, your laboratory hasn't started recruiting people yet. What do you think of your sister?"

"You?" Li Ming looked Li Ruoning up and down, and shook his head in the other's expectant eyes: "Not good."

Are you kidding me? Hiring people? Isn't that asking for trouble?

Li Ruoning rolled his eyes, "Hmph, you'll know when the time comes. It's not that easy to run a lab."

Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to her and simply went back to her room. Li Ruoning was still surprised and wanted to share the news with others.

In less than two hours, the news that Li Ming was approved to build a small laboratory spread throughout the laboratory, and staff from several departments were discussing it.

This was beyond their imagination. Those who could be approved for a small laboratory had to be at least at the level of a tutor, but Li Ming hadn't finished half a semester since he came to the Polytechnic University.

Many people subconsciously thought there was an inside story, but it was quickly overturned. If it was within their laboratory, it would not be difficult to understand.

Professor Wu's emphasis on Li Ming is well known.

But this time it involves the entire Polytechnic Institute, and there are many people who don't like Wu Yanqing. Even these people have been looked down upon a lot on weekdays.

It can even be said that it is more difficult for them to apply for a small laboratory than normal people.

They didn't know that because of Li Ming's amazing development potential, not many people were willing to embarrass him for no reason.

Curiosity in their hearts made them mobilize their connections to find out the truth behind this matter.

In the evening, various news were gathered and roughly sorted out.

"C-level armor was made with bare hands? What a talent."

"Those alloy materials were not bought in vain. Our civilization does not have an assembly line that can manufacture C-level armor."

"..."

The laboratory was very lively. For them, this was already a big deal.

However, Li Ming didn't care about it. After the exercise, he returned to the room facing everyone's obscure gazes.

Open the bounty section of the black hole network and stare at Sein's avatar. There is a series of numbers below.

Thirty million.

The Night Chaser can temporarily upgrade his life level to C level, and it is a geometric increase.

The main combat control objects on his body are all C-level, even if his own life level is upgraded to C level, it can still play a role.

When his development progress is further improved, with mutual cooperation, he will be able to fight against Class B life forms in a short period of time, and at least he will have no problem escaping.

No matter what big plans Torch has, or other twists and turns, he will be much calmer.

But how to get money on the black hole network has become a problem.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will definitely not recharge directly, which will cause a small loss of half, and he has no money now.

Therefore, the bounty became his choice. He has been looking for a suitable bounty in the past two days.

What surprised him was that he actually found the bounty of Sein.

This is a bounty that has only appeared recently. Li Ming speculated that he has been dismissed from his position within the Sera civilization, and killing him will have almost no additional public opinion influence.

That's why he put it on the bounty.

The maximum bounty for a Class C life form is 100 million star coins, and Sein's 30 million is not much.

There is also information about Sein on it. The C-level development progress does not exceed 50%. The order of gene seed fusion is F-level-Bell Rabbit, E-level-Striped Leopard, D-level-Wind Falcon, C-level Sky-Splitting Eagle, good at speed.

Compared with his development progress, this price is not high.

Sein now lives in the embassy of the Sera civilization, with tight defenses, and it is basically impossible to kill him.

However, the bounty holder should not think that anyone in the Blue Star will take action. It is likely that someone will take action against him after returning to the Sera civilization.

Killing Sein and buying the Night Chaser must be enough money, and there is still a lot of surplus.

He had this idea before, but it was really unrealistic to break into the embassy.

He thought for a moment, suddenly exited the black hole network, and began to look through the news, and finally stopped at a certain news--

[Duke Baiye of Sera will arrive in Jingnan soon]

"The Sera royal family has arrived, and he has to go to greet them anyway." He thought.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Yan came as promised when the door was opened.

This woman had strange eyes. For the whole afternoon, the lab was discussing the news that Li Ming was allowed to build a small laboratory.

Even several colleagues who didn't have a very good relationship with her on weekdays came over to ease the situation.

"I decided to help Torch. You pass this news back to them, but the specific entry time and entry port will be determined by me." He said to Chen Yan.

"You agree?" Chen Yan was stunned, "Aren't you afraid of being involved with Torch?"

"You said they have a big plan that needs my cooperation. I will join the game sooner or later. It's better to take some initiative." Li Ming said perfunctorily, "Do you understand what I mean? Don't make any mistakes when conveying it."

"Don't worry." Chen Yan nodded, and when she was about to go out, she hesitated and asked, "Do you want to wait another half an hour?"

Li Ming looked at her in surprise, and then waved his hand and said, "No need today, how can I do it every day."

Chen Yan's face darkened and walked out.

After sending Chen Yan away, Li Ming's eyes gradually became condensed.

At one o'clock in the morning, he took out his spare smart terminal, entered the background of the security system, synchronized the monitoring screen, and adjusted the monitoring probe.

After everything was ready, he switched the control objects to [Soul Mask] and [Smart Terminal].

Turn on [Smart Assistance] and [Psychic Shielding].

After thinking about it, he was still worried, so he found the [Mimic Mask] that he hadn't used for a long time in the control column and changed it a little.

This thing is D-level, and the mimicry can already cover the entire head, and can even fine-tune the size of the head, but it cannot change the characteristics of other parts.

He opened the door carefully, made sure there was no sound outside, and walked out sideways.

I looked at the synchronized surveillance screen again, and saw that there was no change in my door.

After confirming, Li Ming walked out. It was already late at night and there were not many staff in the laboratory.

But I still encountered a few, but with the help of [Intelligent Assistance], there were no dangers.

When he came to the underground laboratory, the heavy alloy door was closed tightly, and the nearby detection equipment was closed by him. He could just erase this part of the log when he returned.

However, he can't get in yet because he doesn't have the code in Luo Chuan's hands. Today he is just exploring the way to see if his idea is feasible.

He followed the way he came and returned to the room, calculating the time and distance in detail.

After thinking about it, he sighed, "Hey...how can I act like a thief in my own territory?"

There was nothing he could do. Without Wu Yanqing's order, Luochuan would definitely not let him go in alone.

Wu Yanqing, a liar from Star Street, had no idea where he had gone and could not be contacted.

"Make a virus and see if you can steal it." Li Ming took out a USB flash drive, inserted it into the smart terminal, and started typing a series of codes.

Early the next morning, before he went to Luochuan, the other party came to him first.

"Junior brother, you gave me a big surprise." Luo Chuan said with a bitter smile: "Yesterday, when I was still in the meeting, I heard that you were approved to establish a small laboratory."

"When I came back this morning, all the old guys from those departments came over to make innuendo."

"I was just about to find you." Li Ming grinned and handed out a USB flash drive freely, "I drew a set of design drawings and purchased related equipment, and I was just asking my senior brother to help me see if it's possible. "

"Oh?" Luo Chuan raised his brows and joked: "Are you so impatient to move out? This small studio is really a grievance for junior brother."

As he spoke, he took the USB flash drive and inserted it smoothly into his smart terminal. Several pages jumped out, and a large number of data, drawings, and information were presented in front of him.

"Tsk, old man, it's not a big problem. It's just that this bio-metal forging station is not very good. The main producer, the Pavila Civilization, has recently been sanctioned by the Etlan Civilization, and we can't trade."

"You can use a magnetic levitation smelting platform instead." Luo Chuan immediately pointed out a problem, and then discussed it for a while and pointed out several problems to Li Ming.
