This is not mechanical ascension.

On the floating island, Li Ming glanced at the virtual screen that popped up on his bracelet and replied with the general message.

I mainly contacted Ford and asked where the combined fleet was. I was shocked to learn that the fleets of various civilizations had not yet arrived.

"I thought a call was coming soon." Li Ming was speechless.

According to Ford, although 80% of the civilizations in the Silver Star Cluster have responded, it will take time to gather these people together and deploy them in place.

Leaving the core area and immediately cutting off the connection with the outside world, Li Ming carefully studied this floating island and the technical means used were very special.

It's not like the current Land of Stars, which has the ability to transform.

While he was thinking about it, Li Ming suddenly raised his eyes and saw Cassis arriving, followed by members of the guard.

"These are the two theories of evolution that the Master Collector asked me to send. Don't tell anyone else." Cassis acted resolutely and informed him of another thing: "In ten days, we will usher in the Red River Star Falls. Don't panic."

"Red River Star Waterfall..." Li Ming's heart moved slightly. Cassis was afraid that Li Ming wouldn't care, so she explained specifically, "The collector attaches great importance to every River Star Waterfall, and all the floating islands under his command will participate, and there may be many of them. civilizational heritage.”

Li Ming was also very interested in this, expressed his understanding, and mentioned a few requirements. Cassis recorded it and couldn't help but ask: "Integrated small integrated assembly line?"

"What do you want this for?"

Li Ming was silent and Cassis frowned, "I understand."

"Two theories of evolution? What a rich man." After Cassis left, Li Ming looked at the things in his hands and couldn't help but sigh.

But I also understand that the theory of evolution alone is not of great value, and it requires supporting secret records of liberation and gene fusion sequences.

Sending these two theories of evolution was just for the collector to appease him.

[Evolution of the Giant Mantis] and [Evolution of the Ice Knight] each require 800,000 metal energy, which is 1.6 million metal energy, and belong to ordinary B-level gene sequences.

It wasn't quite enough at first, but when Cassis came this time, she also brought the materials needed for repair, plus what he had left over from before, it was almost enough.

Li Ming took direct control, added these two theories of evolution, and at the same time recycled the original C-level genetic radiator, increasing the development speed by twelve times, and the overall blessing has reached thirty-six times.

It has been nearly a month since I arrived in the Land of Stars, and the development progress has reached 17%, which can be accelerated a lot now.

…

At the star port of the Trading Island, an inconspicuous spaceship was connected to the orbit. Several people on the spacecraft sat opposite each other, and information about Kaye was constantly flowing on the central virtual screen.

"According to our intelligence, the B-class life form that killed Atom and Duke Bai Ye has come to the Land of the Stars, calls himself Qinglong, and opened a mechanical repair shop." The leader is a human with a short head and two sides of his nose. The ravine was very deep, and he said with a solemn expression:

"There are two people following him, one of them should be Kai."

"Mechanical repair shop? Mr. Black, is the news correct?" Several people looked at each other.

"No." Blake frowned, "At the same time, he has now been put under the command of the Collector and is on a separate floating island."

At the mention of this name, everyone's expressions suddenly became serious.

"What should we do? Kai has a special status. We must get him."

Blacksmith said: "Go and talk to him and see if we can take Kay away. For this, we can pay some reasonable price."

"But what if he opens his mouth or doesn't agree at all?" Everyone looked hesitant.

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Blake looked solemn. "The Collector has many mechanics, most of whom are used as tools. They work day and night. We are his life-saving straw."

After paying the fee, several people changed their faces and headed towards the target.

…

"Sorry, this floating island does not accept visitors. Please leave as soon as possible." The soldiers on the island stopped Black and others who fell from the small aircraft.

"We need to see Mr. Qinglong, there is something important." Blake frowned slightly.

The heavily armed soldier said in an indifferent tone: "According to the order of the Lord Collector, this island does not accept outside visitors."

Blake's eyes flickered, and when he was about to say something, Yaro came in a hurry. When he saw a few people, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

With their upright postures, familiar positions, and scrutinizing eyes, he smelled a familiar aura on these people, an aura belonging to the Interstellar Alliance.

"Your Excellency Qinglong, let them in." Yaluo said solemnly.

The soldiers present looked at each other and seemed reluctant. Yaro further asked, "Do you still need Your Excellency Qinglong to contact the Master Collector for such a trivial matter?"

It turned out to be easy to move out the collector, and the soldiers immediately moved out of the way to let a few people in.

"Come with me, His Excellency Qinglong is waiting for you." Yaro lamented in his heart.

I don’t know what the outcome of the meeting between the two parties will be, but it’s even less likely that he will reveal his identity and say something, as that would be even more troublesome.

Blake looked around vaguely, walking all the way until he came to the studio.

His eyes fell vaguely on the figure wearing a gene suppressor in the corner.

"What do you call it?" Li Ming turned his back to him and seemed to be fiddling with something. .

"Just call me Blake."

Li Ming nodded, "Someone from the Interstellar Alliance's anti-plundering department?"

Blake frowned. He didn't expect Li Ming to be so direct. Kai in the corner looked slightly tense and couldn't help but look over.

"Since Lord Qinglong has guessed our origins, I won't hide it." Blake said in a deep voice: "Kai has already applied for political asylum, we need to take him away."

Li Ming paused and turned around. Blake could see clearly that the other party was holding a half-broken metal palm, and said in a playful tone:

"I rescued him with great difficulty, and you can take him away just like that?"

Blake was not surprised: "Your Excellency, please name a price. If it is reasonable, we are willing to pay the corresponding price."

Li Ming did not immediately Instead of quoting, he said leisurely: "His family seems to have been defeated? What do you want him for?"

"Use his name to interfere in the internal affairs of the Judge Civilization?"

Blake frowned: "These things have nothing to do with you."

Li Ming shrugged, "It really has nothing to do with me. I just passed by. I am really curious. If you don't tell me, there will be no discussion."

Blake's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency, are you going too far?"

The people behind Blake were tense, as if they would take action at any time, and the atmosphere on the scene dropped to freezing point.

Yaluo's eyelids jumped. Not wanting to see the two sides fighting, he shouted, "This is the collector's territory!"

Black said in a deep voice, "Of course we know, but you can't be considered the collector's men. At most, you are his tools."

"The collector likes to collect all kinds of strange things. Since he has the most mechanical creations, he has many mechanics who specialize in repairing these things for him."

"However, the fate of these mechanics is not very good. They have no freedom. If they repair something bad, they may be killed."

Yaro's face was very ugly, and Li Ming looked at him with interest.

Black felt that he had grasped the opponent's weakness and softened, "We belong to the Interstellar Alliance. Although everyone says that this is an empty shell, that is for the imperial civilization."

"If you are willing to help us, we are also willing to help you. Can you get out of the hands of the collector smoothly?"

Yaro sighed in his heart. Although he couldn't see what Li Ming wanted to do, so far, it was obvious that Li Ming himself was willing to be under house arrest.

The other party's words might be useful to other mechanics, but to Li Ming, it was nonsense.

Li Ming looked at him with a smile, and Blake felt puzzled. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the other party glance at the time and said, "Sorry, you came at a bad time."

Blake didn't understand why, and then suddenly felt the ground shaking under his feet, and there was a constant roar. His face changed slightly, thinking that he had encountered a trap.

The people behind him quickly formed an array.

"It's not an ambush, it's the Red River Star Falls!" Ya Luo said loudly!

Blake was slightly stunned and saw Li Ming walked straight out in front of them without any defense.

He hesitated for a moment and let his men relax temporarily. After walking out of here, his pupils suddenly dilated, and the entire floating island was rising continuously.

And above, there was only a brilliant and glorious scene in front of him, and the entire starry sky seemed to have turned red, like an endless red river, with a large number of meteor-like lights passing by.

There were floating islands of various sizes floating around, and the bottom was spewing out blazing flames.

"Red River Star Falls..." Someone under his command murmured in a low voice. Blake asked and found out that this was a strange phenomenon that only occurs once every six months to a year in the Red River Star Stream.

Li Ming looked up and saw that the "Collector's Cabinet" was already extremely large, larger than the average continental plate, but it seemed extremely small at the moment.

The grandeur of the universe and his own insignificance intertwined in his heart.

After a large number of floating islands reached a certain limit, they all stopped.

Connect to the broadcast channel and turn on the gravity device at the same time.

With the help of gravity, those things that passed like meteors were pulled out of the Red River Star Stream.

Boom!

The first "meteor" was pulled out, and the red light wrapped on the surface faded.

It was half of the ruins of the palace. It was fine, but after being pulled out of the Red River Star Stream, it suddenly exploded into powder.

No one was surprised by this, and the broadcast channel was noisy and excited.

Boom!

Another meteor, it was the wreckage of a warship, quite huge. Li Ming could see a lot of metal materials at a glance. Judging from the volume, he estimated that he could extract 200,000 or 300,000 metal energies.

Li Ming was excited, but drifted to another direction and was captured by others.

"Haha..." A loud laugh suddenly came from the channel.

Meteors were pulled out one after another, then floated in a certain direction and fell into a floating island.

Not long after, Li Ming pulled the first meteor, which was the metal skeleton of half a high-rise building, and could not extract too much metal energy.

But this is just the beginning. The Red River Star Falls will take at least a dozen hours, so there is plenty of time.

"The collector is going to make a move!" Ya Luo suddenly shouted. Li Ming looked up and his heart suddenly stagnated.

The collector's figure was almost invisible. All he could see was a large area distorted, and more than a dozen meteors trembled constantly, being forcibly pulled out of the Red River Star Stream.

More than a dozen were made at once, no wonder the accumulation of wealth became more and more terrifying.

These things are just sold as scraps, and the raw materials extracted are worth a lot of money.

Blake looked dazed, and quickly came to his senses. Although they joined this incident by chance, their purpose was just to take Kai away, and now seemed to be a good opportunity.

Li Ming participated for the first time and was quite surprised. He was secretly shocked?

Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly, "They actually took advantage of this time."

He pulled his mouth and suddenly shouted in the channel: "Mr. Collector, someone wants to harm me!"

Blake's scalp tingled and he was shocked, "What's going on? I haven't taken any action yet!?"

He didn't understand why, and then something even more incredible happened. The collector who had just pulled off a dozen meteors stopped and turned around to come here, pulling out a red air wave behind him.

Before the people arrived, a terrible pressure suddenly came down, suppressing everyone in place, unable to move.

Kay even crawled directly to the ground.

The next moment, the collector landed gracefully, his feet several dozen centimeters off the ground, and his eyes swept over Blake and others.

Blake was already numb and sweating. He could call the collector with just one sentence?

Is this a mechanic who is regarded as a tool?

When he was about to speak and try to save himself, he saw the collector raised his right hand, hooked, and then fell suddenly, and four figures came crashing from the edge of the floating island.

With a flick of the index finger, the mimicry masks on their faces were torn off, and their expressions were terrified.

"Collector... Mr. Collector." Several people spoke tremblingly, and one of the figures was the one-eyed fish man, with fear in his eyes and confusion in his heart.

They hadn't made a move yet, just quietly approaching the edge of the floating island, how could they be discovered by the other party.

What made them even more difficult to understand was that this person called the collector directly with just one sentence.

Who is whose subordinate?

"So it's you." The collector seemed to know several people and smiled slightly.

Crack! The sound of bones breaking continued, and wailing came one after another.

"Wait!"

A deep voice came from behind, and the scorching air rushed in his face.

The collector turned around, and I don't know when, another burly figure came, with a boiling breath, like an active volcano about to erupt.

Sandro!

Yaluo subconsciously felt guilty and shifted his gaze, fearing that he would be discovered.

"Your people have crossed the line. I killed them on the spot. You can't stop me." The tail behind the collector swung and hung in the air.

"Of course." Sandro said in a muffled voice: "But how come I don't know when you became a personal bodyguard for someone?"

The collector's expression was restrained, and his finger was hooked, and the four people on the ground smashed towards Sandro.

Sandro frowned, waved his hand, and the air exploded. The four people were thrown in other directions, wailing.

"He killed one of you, and I let four go. This matter ends here." The collector said indifferently.

Sandro said nothing, his eyes flashed from Li Ming, turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and leave!"

The four people hurriedly got up and hurriedly followed. The collector turned around and looked at Blake and the others, saying meaningfully, "Who are they?"

Blake was startled, and his heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible force.
