This is not mechanical ascension.

I looked at the time and saw that it was almost six in the morning and it was time to go out.

Before going out, Li Ming first checked from the external surveillance system that no one was nearby, then took out the sound absorber, opened the door, and then rushed out.

When I returned to the room, I didn't attract anyone's attention. I repeatedly made sure that I didn't miss anything, and I felt a little relieved.

"The purpose of Prince Baijiang should be to find a way to obtain the acquired fusion sublimation particles, but he couldn't do anything to Princess Asmara, so he turned to Wu Yanqing."

After Li Ming returned to the room, he was still guessing, but he was puzzled.

Logically speaking, Princess Asmara possesses this technology, which is equivalent to the fact that the Etlan civilization also controls this technology.

So what does the clown Prince Baijan do?

Either Princess Asmara and the Etlan civilization are not of the same mind and have not come up with this technology.

Or, the Prince of Baijan was excluded from the entire Ascended Civilization ruins exploration plan by the Itlan Civilization, so he had to use this method to squeeze in.

His eyes flickered, and he remembered that Princess Asmara had entered into a marriage contract.

The first option is more likely. If you really wear pants with the Etlan civilization, you don't need to find foreign aid in this way.

I'm afraid Old Wu is also considered bait.

There is such a technology that can be obtained at a lower price, and Prince Baijan is definitely not willing to face Princess Asmara.

This woman had been using Old Wu to hang everyone up, and at the same time, she was lending a helping hand to prevent Old Wu from falling in. She gave everyone something to think about, while she was alone outside.

He thought about how cruel this woman was, how did Lao Wu and Lao Chen know this vicious woman in the first place.

However, based on this speculation, with Princess Asmara here, there is a high probability that there will be no problems with Old Wu.

Except that some small claws may reach out, but there is no excessive danger.

He kept thinking until late at night, carefully looking through all the information found in the underground laboratory.

As expected, Lao Wu didn't do much research on those gadgets, not even a speculative conclusion.

Only that special piece of material has some records--

"...Occasionally, I will think of that ruins, with its dazzling brilliance, and the golden symbols on the walls seem to narrate their past glory..."

Symbols on the wall?

The entire room is made of this material? At least one whole wall.

Li Ming swallowed hard. How much metal energy would it cost? Tens of millions, hundreds of millions?

That image lingered before his eyes.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

At around eight o'clock, he received a communication link from Chen Jinglong. He was dressed neatly and told him with a solemn expression that he had been approved to establish a small laboratory.

At the same time, he was given a link to choose the location where the small laboratory would be built. If there was no design model, there would be regular design drawings for him to choose from.

Li Ming submitted the designed model and after filling out the form, a contact information popped up.

After adding the other party as a friend, I learned that the other party was the construction team of the Polytechnic University and asked when they could come for exploration.

"The efficiency is quite high..." Li Ming muttered and made an appointment in two hours.

When I went to the cafeteria for a meal, the other party arrived. He was a middle-aged man named Tan Jun. He looked quite lean. He was wearing standard work clothes and had a lot of people with him.

"You are young and promising. When I received the instructions, I thought there was an error in the system, but I didn't expect it was really you." Tan Jun's words were full of compliments.

Li Ming smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business, taking him to the place he had chosen.

Tan Jun waved his hand, and the workers around him dispersed and began preliminary exploration.

The two chatted incessantly.

"Gong Tan, how long will it take to build this laboratory?" Li Ming asked.

"According to the design drawing you gave me, it will take more than a month." Tan Jun made an estimate.

"More than a month?" Li Ming frowned: "Is it that long?"

Even for rudimentary civilizations, the time spent on this kind of infrastructure construction has been reduced to a certain extent, and various engineering machinery and equipment are working day and night.

"This is the result of not having to connect energy from far away." Tan Jun smiled bitterly, glanced at Li Ming, and hesitated: "Actually, there is a way to shorten the time."

"Oh? Tell me." Li Ming became interested. He could only apply for experimental funds after the laboratory was completed. Although more than a month was not a long time, it would be best if it could be shortened.

"That's right. We have modular construction here. They are all metal cabins that have already been built. We only need to lay the foundation, connect them, and fine-tune the settings."

Tan Jun opened the smart terminal, pinched out a picture, enlarged it, and rotated it into a 3D style.

The rectangular or square silver-white metal cabin has no distinctive appearance. The surface is made of raised striped metal that can be connected to each other.

"If we use this kind of modular construction, it will probably be completed in more than half a month." Tan Jun finally said.

"More than half a month?" Li Ming didn't think for too long and said directly: "The previous plan is invalid, just use this one, just watch it, the sooner the better."

"Okay." Tan Jun nodded. The workers under him have roughly completed the survey. There is no special soil in the coverage area, so there is no need to waste time on making additional plans.

They could start work as soon as this afternoon. Li Ming went to the security office to say hello.

By the afternoon, various construction machines entered the site, including concrete die-casting machines, large cranes, small auxiliary tools, and crawler-type pouring robots. The efficiency was indeed extremely high.

Li Ming was somewhat interested at first, and he touched and looked around.

Later, he called Li Ruoning to supervise the work while he went back to develop gene seeds.

Before leaving, Li Ming made another request, which was to have a large enough warehouse. If there were no modular facilities, he would build them himself.

After listening to Tan Jun, he postponed the construction period by about five days.

At the same time, during this period, construction materials and modular metal cabins were continuously transported in.

It is worth mentioning that there was a killer hidden among the transporters.

There was no action in the past few days, until a few days later, when Li Ming came to inspect again, he suddenly jumped up, but unfortunately he was only a D-level life form, and he didn't even stir up a wave.

Hearing the news, Luo Chuan hurried over with a gloomy face.

Xu Pinghu was ready to fight, and he promised that he would let this person tell all his ancestors.

As a result, the killer didn't say anything until the evening.

Under no circumstances, Xu Pinghu could only pinch his nose and inject him with some kind of hallucinogen.

He had already been beaten unconscious, and the hallucinogen became the last line of defense to defeat him.

But in the end, only a small amount of information and an "anonymous person" were obtained.

"Black Flame Organization?" Li Ming was surprised, "Is there such an underground organization in Jingnan?"

This is the capital of Blue Star after all. Although there are smuggling and smuggling, the number is not large, which is understandable.

How can there be such an underground organization that undertakes illegal work?

"After all, a planet is too big, and there are always some glamorous people who need to do illegal work." Luo Chuan's face was very cold. He made a few calls in a hurry. It was obvious that the Black Flame Organization was going to suffer.

Li Ming guessed that the guy behind the scenes was probably Sai Yin.

After dealing with these miscellaneous matters, Li Ming did not rest and found Chen Yan again.

After entering the room, Chen Yan, who kept her head down all the way and seemed shy, changed her expression and said in a deep voice: "Torch has urged me several times. When can we take action?"

"I asked you to come here for this matter. Three days later, you will let Torch's smuggling ship enter from Houston Starport. The time is controlled at around 11 o'clock." Li Ming responded.

"There is only one day left before the time they gave. Why do we have to do it on this day?" Chen Yan frowned, opened the smart terminal, and searched.

Li Ming did not stop her.

"Duke Bai Ye of the Sera civilization arrived on this day. Could it be this starport?" Chen Yan suddenly raised her head and said in astonishment.

"Guessed right." Li Ming shrugged.

Chen Yan was puzzled: "What do you want to do? When Duke Bai Ye arrives, all the people of Sera civilization will definitely go to greet him. The inspection of this star port will definitely be stronger!"

"Wrong." Li Ming shook his head: "The inspection will indeed be stronger, but it is aimed at Sera civilization. Do you understand what is called darkness under the lamp? It is because of the Sera civilization in front that it is easier to do things."

Li Ming's words were convincing, and Chen Yan felt that it was not right, but her task was just to convey it, and she did not think much about it.

Just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by Li Ming again, "There is one more thing. On that day, you have to let Torch arrange a few of their people, just cannon fodder."

"Huh?" Chen Yan was even more puzzled, "Arrange people for Torch?"

Li Ming explained: "In case of trouble, those people need to attract attention. Things are not foolproof."

Chen Yan frowned slightly and thought for a moment. This is easy.

Once Li Ming helped Torch smuggle successfully, it was equivalent to mixing with Torch.

Instead, Huoju wanted Li Ming to know their identities, further test and force them, and finally tie them to the chariot.

The presence of Huoju's people on the scene, even covering them, was the best test.

If she couldn't figure it out, she simply didn't want to think about it. She was caught in the middle, so there was no need to worry so much.

After Chen Yan left, Li Ming carefully reviewed the plan in his mind, thinking that it would probably work, and even if it didn't work, it wouldn't hurt him.

Then, he opened the smart terminal, found a contact, and after dialing the number, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Hello, Minister Liu..."

"Yes, I applied for a small laboratory. It's not a big deal, so there's no publicity..."

"...What kind of young and promising person is this? I still need to learn more from you."

"...Alas, a brother of mine made some things outside. Who knew that the review would become so strict now..."

"Who said it wasn't? It's a pity that Commissioner Fu died..."

"Don't worry, it's definitely not arms, just some small pills circulated among students. You just need to say hello..."

"You are so right. The main task is still Duke Bai Ye. The Sera civilization is ambitious and everyone knows it. Maybe they are carrying some contraband. We need to investigate carefully. The review of other spacecraft will inevitably be reduced. There is nothing we can do about it..."

"Okay, okay. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

After ending the communication, Li Ming looked at the smart terminal in his hand and suddenly grinned.

Chen Jinglong is only responsible for endorsement and his personal safety. In order to prevent the torch from discovering clues, he will not take action in other aspects.

This matter really depends on Li Ming's own connections.

Two days later, the laboratory was almost completed, and now it was mainly finishing and building the large warehouse he needed.

Earlier today, Chen Yan had already replied that Torch would follow his plan and provided the model of Torch's spacecraft.

In the past half month, the development progress of his gene seed has reached 40%.

He gathered his strength and carefully thought about his plan to see if there were any omissions.

Until dawn, he suddenly got up and called Luochuan to take him to Houston Starport. Facing Luochuan's questions, he explained calmly: "A friend asked me to help him pick up some things."

"Friend?" Luochuan frowned and asked: "What friend? Are you sure it's okay?"

"No problem." Li Ming comforted: "I have already greeted Minister Liu."

Luochuan frowned slightly and reminded: "Don't deal with those politicians. Don't let them smile on the surface, but they can't wait to swallow you up behind your back."

"Understood."

Luochuan couldn't help shaking his head, knowing that Li Ming didn't listen. Li Ming's advantage is this. No matter whether he listens or not, he won't refute you on the surface.

But he didn't say much, knowing that Li Ming was quite cunning and should have known it in his heart.

The two of them went out secretly to avoid revealing their whereabouts. Now they randomly picked cars when they went out.

After sending them to the Houston Starport, Li Ming asked Luo Chuan to go back because it was still early.

Luo Chuan also had to go to the City Guard to deal with the matter of Black Flame, but he was still a little hesitant.

However, their trip was a temporary decision, and Li Ming covered his face again, so no one would know that he had been here. After thinking about this, Luo Chuan left.

Duke Bai Ye of the Sera civilization was not a regular delegation, so Blue Star did not block the entire starport for them.

Entering from the port entrance channel, most of them were picking up people, and no identity verification was required. Only metal detection was carried out to confirm that there were no lethal weapons.

The crowds were bustling, and the noisy waves rolled in. Most of them went in one direction, and some went against the current.

Huge signposts were suspended above their heads, leading to various connecting channels. After the interstellar spacecraft arrived, they needed to be inspected and the identity of the crew members verified.

There was a separation line near the platform, which was even more crowded.

He checked the time, it was still early.

He estimated the distance, went to the toilet, and after coming out, he found an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

Not too long after waiting, a group of people came in a hurry, with green hair and obvious features, and security guards around to lead the way, which attracted the attention of many locals.

Li Ming also raised his head and locked on Sein in the crowd.

As Yuko's teacher, Sein's current condition is obviously not very good, and he feels tired from being forced to support himself.

Moreover, because he was covered by [Intelligent Assistance], Li Ming could see many more details, the collisions between colleagues, the contempt and disgust on their faces...

Sein was obviously excluded by most people and vaguely isolated.

"Sir Sein, your condition does not seem to be very good." Li Ming lowered his face, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
