This is not mechanical ascension.

With many thoughts passing through his mind, Ulrich said indifferently: "I hope you can start as soon as possible."

"No problem..." Li Ming agreed immediately, but shook his head: "However, I need to go back and pack some things."

Ulrich frowned slightly, but he didn't refuse. He followed Li Ming back in person, staying close to him, but that's about it.

He went back to the room, pretended to tidy up, and then came out again, holding a few pieces of clothes in his hand.

"That's all?" Ulrich was confused.

"Actually, there is nothing to deal with. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, so I always have to be mentally prepared." Li Ming said calmly, "And my few mechanical bodies should be quite boring inside, so I rely on them to relieve my boredom. "

Ulrich didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he nodded lightly and said, "Then let's go."

Hotan followed behind. Whether it was a special arrangement or a coincidence, there was not a single person on the entire floor.

Taking the elevator hidden in the secret compartment to the restoration laboratory again, Ulrich went further:

"During this period, if you need anything, you can use the silver communicator over there. Hortan will serve you specifically. Your robot will be sent to you shortly."

Huo Tan on the side nodded slightly, and Li Ming glanced at the silver communicator next to the door.

"Any more questions?" Ulrich stared at him closely.

"No more." Li Ming acted very indifferently. Before Ulrich could even leave, he couldn't wait to hold the broken square metal block in his hands, as if he couldn't put it down.

Ulrich frowned and did not leave immediately.

After waiting for about half an hour, his Thunder and Tepper guards were sent over.

Ulrich took a deep look at Li Ming, then turned around and left with Hortan. With a bang, a subtle sound of gears was heard, and the heavy metal door was locked.

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and Konoe Thunder said: "Master, someone tried to crack our underlying code before coming here, but failed."

"I know." Li Ming shook his head, not surprised.

"...The people below reported that the underlying codes of these two mechanical bodies were extremely strong. They tried to rewrite the numbers, but they were overwritten again by the ghost program that they could not detect." Hortan also reported,

"The hackers were shocked. They seemed to have never seen such a ghost program before, and there were no traces to follow."

Ulrich was not surprised. He had seen many mysterious things in the other party, but it was just a ghost program.

Hortan wanted to say something more, but seeing Ulrich's disinterest, he shut his mouth.

Ulrich warned: "Keep an eye on him all the time. I want to know what he is doing and how far he has been repaired at any time."

"yes."

"Oh, I'm finally locked up in a dark room." In the laboratory, Li Ming sighed with emotion. He had expected it, but he felt a sense of novelty.

Look left, look right, this novelty will soon pass.

He took out a piece of material casually. It looked like a small piece of his palm, but it made him feel heavy.

This is the main material of the [Material Recombination Maker] - Corvana Alloy. Its energy conductivity and ductility are astonishingly high. Except for empire-level civilizations, only a limited number of advanced civilizations have smelting methods.

Li Ming tried to absorb it, his eyes flashing slightly. The metal energy density in it was beyond imagination, higher than the highest star core fragment he had ever seen.

For such a small piece, he extracted nearly two million metal energy, and only slight traces of rust appeared on the surface.

And here, there are still ten yuan. Li Ming's heart was filled with excitement. Just according to his regular metal energy conversion formula, these are worth two billion star coins.

Moreover, there is a technical barrier premium, and the price will definitely be higher. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for him to access this material.

After thinking for a moment, he found an empty wall and began to tentatively absorb the metal energy of this so-called cold core alloy.

The metal energy density of this alloy is not as good as Corvana, but it is better in quantity. Even if such a large room is kept basically intact, it can at least extract nearly 10 million metal energy.

This is not a small dark room, it is simply his treasure house.

The sum of these two things is close to 30 million metal energy. Even if it takes 10 million to control the [Material Recombination Maker], there is still a lot of surplus.

Of course, this place is only part of it, as well as his feet.

Looking down, he seemed to be able to see the collector's treasure trove through the thick metal walls, very close at hand.

"Rob, Rob, don't let me down."

Unfortunately, [Space Blink] can only flash to a place where he can see it, otherwise it would be more convenient.

Li Ming thought about it, and then moved his body to prepare for the next great undertaking.

Rob will not take action for at least ten days. He has enough time to drain the metal energy here to almost the same extent.

At the same time, he can also develop gene seeds, and no one can interfere with him. He increasingly feels that this is a good place.

…

The great mechanic Qinglong disappeared quietly in the castle, and many people were keenly aware of this.

Especially Rob, he specifically found Huo Tan and asked where Qinglong was going.

"Your Excellency Qinglong has temporarily left the Land of Stars." Hotan said with a smile.

"Leave?" Rob said in surprise: "As we agreed last time, there are still some areas of my weapon drawings that I need his help to modify."

Hortan shook his head helplessly, "I can take you to the fifth floor to find some mechanics to help."

"Forget it..." Rob shook his head in disappointment, "Qinglong is a great mechanic, what are they?"

On the fifth day after Li Ming disappeared, Sandro and Theo left one after another.

The reason they came was partly because of Serrad and partly because of the Judge Civilization. Now Serrad disappeared.

The Judge Civilization only reprimanded Ulrich and did not take any further action, so they naturally would not stay here for long.

As for Serrad, they have almost searched the trading island during this period, but still couldn't find him.

In a secret room, Huo Tan stared at the big screen in front of him intently, which was divided into more than a dozen small screens.

Monitoring the situation of the repair laboratory from all angles, and the front of the screen is also simulated into a three-dimensional data map, which can be zoomed in and out at any time to view the details.

"What is he doing?" Huo Tan frowned, his face full of confusion.

On the screen, Qinglong was sitting on the floor almost motionless, with one hand drooping on the ground and the other holding a broken metal block, staring at it with his eyes, and from time to time, electric arcs and flames and other elemental energies would appear all over his body.

Ever since he was locked up and got familiar with the environment, he started to do this.

The only difference was that he would move every hour or so.

"Is he thinking about how to repair it?" Huo Tan guessed. He knew that everyone had quirks, but the quirks of this great mechanic were a bit unusual.

But in the final analysis, this was not an abnormal situation, and he didn't know how to report it.

Qinglong might just be thinking about how to repair it.

And this situation lasted for another five days.

That day, Ulrich also came, with his hands behind his back, staring at the screen in front of him, "He is still like this?"

Hotan smiled helplessly, "Yes, it has been ten days, and there is almost no change, and no request has been made. Occasionally, I look at the materials and it takes several hours."

"Is his preparation time too long?"

Ulrich was unsure, but he also knew that this thing was not so easy to repair, and he left him a lot of time in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "Wait a little longer. If it is still like this in ten days, I will ask him."

Hotan nodded and watched Ulrich leave.

Li Ming, who seemed to have done nothing, was thinking about another thing at this moment.

"If you want to upgrade to A-level, you still need dimensional crystals as a carrier..."

He focused his eyes, staring at the void in front of him, looking at the metal energy of 28.56 million on the control page.

This is what he has gained these days. When the metal energy reaches a certain level, he also wants to upgrade the control object to A-level, but he can't do it. It prompts that dimensional crystals are needed as carriers.

He was not surprised. Class B needed additional reinforcement from the mother ore, not to mention Class A control objects. What surprised him was the material of dimensional crystal.

He remembered that this thing seemed to be able to make Class A control objects divine.

It was quite rare. Among the forces he had contacted so far, it seemed that only the Torch Organization had it. Oh... there were still a few pieces in the safe below.

Li Ming's thoughts were flying. He was not in a hurry. He would be able to get it soon.

Besides, although he could not upgrade, he could find another way to repair it.

………

Ulrich, who left the monitoring room, had been thinking that this matter seemed to be on the right track. He should be happy, but for some reason, he just couldn't be happy.

As he walked, he paused. There was a buzzing sound from his body. He took out the smart terminal and frowned. It was a joint communication request initiated by Sandro, and the other person was Theo.

After waiting for a while, he saw that Theo had answered the call, so he chose to answer it.

The virtual screen popped up, and the pictures of the two people were projected on the left and right.

Sandro was cursing: "...How the hell do I know what's going on? You brought the Judge Civilization here, why did you attack my people?"

Theo frowned, Ulrich's heart moved slightly, switched to the local channel, and found that a lot of information was refreshed.

Sandro's territory was actually attacked by the Judge Civilization. There were several videos. He glanced at them roughly, and it seemed that the scale was not small.

"You can handle this little thing yourself, it seems that there is definitely no A-level life." Theo shook his head.

Sandro said in a deep voice: "I can catch people, but what should I do if I catch them? You two must come over. If there is any consequence, the three of us will bear it together. I have nothing to do with this. What's wrong with these one-eyed bastards!"

Seeing Sandro's look, Theo glanced at Ulrich thoughtfully.

"Not interested, not going." Ulrich refused decisively.

Sandro was a little anxious, "Ulrich, when you sent me a message, I went there immediately!"

Ulrich hesitated, then shook his head, "It's not worth making a special trip for such a small matter."

Theo narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Judge Civilization will definitely not go crazy. Maybe the group of people who took Kai away haven't left yet."

"I'll go there."

Ulrich's heart moved slightly, Kai? This guy seems to be involved with Yaluo, and Yaluo is involved with Li Ming.

Li Ming is also a student of Qinglong, and he attaches great importance to him.

Li Ming... Li Ming...

Ulrich felt that this might be a card. After hesitating for a moment, he added, "Forget it, I'll go there too."

Sandro was relieved and urged them to hurry up.

Theo had ended the communication. Looking at the dark screen in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head. Ulrich still had the same old problem. He had to let him guess.

However, this seemed to be an opportunity, and maybe he could still fall for Sandro.

However, the attack of the Judge came a little too suddenly.

Thinking of this, he quickly switched pages and notified someone.

………

On the other side, on the second floor of a shop on the trading island.

Frosa was terrified and felt that his missing eye was aching slightly. It was an old problem that would occur whenever he was nervous.

They had been hiding here for several days and had never known what to do. Until just now, Rob had said the target of the action - the collector's castle.

He asked carefully, "Rob, are we really going to raid the collector's castle?"

"Will there be any problems?"

"I've already said that Ulrich is not in the castle. You just need to follow me." Rob frowned and said impatiently.

"I've long disliked Ulrich." Sislang grinned, "Take away all the treasures of the collector!"

Rob glanced at him, "Our target is not the collector's treasure house."

"Not the treasure house?" Sislang didn't understand.

Rob said in a deep voice: "It's the great mechanic, Qinglong."

"Qinglong?" Frosa was stunned, "Hasn't he left the Land of Stars?"

Others were also shocked.

"Can you believe what Ulrich said?" Rob sneered: "He is still imprisoned deep in the castle."

"Imprisoned?" Frosa was more and more puzzled, but Rob had no intention of explaining. "I have already planned it. When the edge of the trading island riots, Cassis will leave with the guards, leaving only the old man Hortan. The collector will leave the trading island and will be unable to contact the outside world during the voyage. We will act in fifteen minutes."

"If it succeeds, you will have a great mechanic to build weapons in the future." Rob immediately painted another pie.

As soon as the voice fell, the room suddenly became noisy. Except for Sislang, the other three B-level life forms were quite excited.

Although they were all B-level life forms, they did not have corresponding weapons. On the one hand, it was because the price was high. Most of the money they robbed on weekdays was used for squandering.

Another part was because they could not find a suitable mechanic.

The mechanical spear of Sislang made them envious, and Sislang himself couldn't let it go.

Frosa even glanced at Sislang, "Ha, old dog, you made your weapon too early, I will make the same one as yours when the time comes."

Sislang snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention.

Fifteen minutes later, Rob waited for a while until the smart terminal sent a message, and the gloom on his face melted away. When his burly body turned around, it brought a whirlwind.
