This is not mechanical ascension.

Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly, but he remained noncommittal. Jesiah didn't care either, seeming to say with emotion:

"Lord Monroe was originally trapped by the nano-curse. He himself is an extremely powerful mechanic. He tried his best but was unable to do anything."

"After I followed in his footsteps and underwent full-body transformation, becoming an A-level mechanical transformation body and a great mechanic, I clearly understood the despair he faced."

"I didn't expect that..." Jesiah's tone became more and more surprised, and he even used honorifics:

"How long have you been in the Land of Stars? Excluding the time you spent lurking under Ulrich, you were able to deal with the nano-curse for Master Monroe in such a short period of time. I am afraid that only the Star Casting Mechanic Only then can we do it.”

Li Ming pondered, but still did not directly answer Jesiah's question. He just shook his head and said with a smile: "Star-casting mechanic?"

He didn't deny it, nor did he admit it.

Seeing the other party's indifferent appearance, Jesiah didn't pay attention. The other party's vigilance was normal. The nano-curse came from the Star Abyss Empire.

If the other party admits it, to a certain extent, it will be regarded as an enemy of the Star Abyss Empire.

Jesiah came here just to express his attitude and that he was one of his own. Even if the other party didn't believe it for the time being, time would prove everything.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this here." After venting his emotions, Jesiah skipped this topic, "There were some things that couldn't be said clearly at the banquet before, so I came here specially."

The mimetic structure on his face was restrained and he looked quite cautious. "Deyes is quite dissatisfied with your joining because Cornette has promised that when the ruins are opened, the precious material called "Dark Matter Stardust" will be removed." Give it to him."

"It can be used as the main material for star-casting tools."

"Star casting tool..." Li Ming was surprised.

The so-called star-casting tool is the standard equipment for star-casting mechanics.

The so-called "casting star" refers to the casting planet, which can also be said to be able to shape a powerful civilization.

In his hand, perhaps the only fully repaired [Material Recombination Maker] can be regarded as a star-casting tool.

"Has his level reached this level?" Li Ming asked instead.

"No, although Deyes is the most skilled among the three of us, he is still far from being a star-casting mechanic. He is mainly collecting materials."

Jesiah looked a little helpless: "He made a deal with us before. He doesn't want anything else, just dark matter stardust."

"But when you come..."

No wonder Deyes is hostile to him, Li Ming thought thoughtfully, this is equivalent to blocking the road.

Jesiah then added: "Although his level is not low, the source of the relevant data learned today is still questionable."

"He has made great achievements in research on virtual intelligence. I personally doubt that he has a way to contact the outside world, otherwise he would not be able to learn so much data suddenly."

Li Ming was thoughtful, and the others were not stupid either. When Deyes did this, even fools suspected that there was something wrong with him.

It seems risky.

But Li Ming then thought about it. If he didn't recognize the thing, he could even use the [Material Recombination Maker] to create the things on the drawing in batches and parts.

But he couldn't prove this in a short period of time. Even if Cornette and others were suspicious of Deyes, they had to hold their noses and listen to him.

It is even said that he is likely to be isolated or even expelled from the core laboratory.

He didn't care whether he was taken seriously or not, but there were many things he wanted in this base.

Although the risk is high, it is indeed possible, but it is a pity... Li Ming shook his head, he really recognized that thing.

"Conite will naturally handle Deyes's problem." Li Ning still spoke vaguely. Although he had a good impression of Jesiah, it was impossible to trust him with just a few words.

Then he asked: "I am concerned about another thing. What is in the ruins of the Ascended One?"

Jesiah could clearly feel the other party's distrust, and faced this question without any hesitation, and answered immediately: "[Sublimation Source Crystal]"

"[Sublimation Source Crystal]?"

Jesiah nodded, "It is rumored that it is one of the three major star-casting tools owned by the Ascended Civilization. I don't know its specific function."

"Of course, the Torch Organization is not 100% sure. It only made this inference based on various information it has obtained."

He explained, "You may not know that at the peak of the Ascendant civilization, the civilization's territory once covered more than thirty star clusters, including almost half of the Corona Borealus star ring."

"The unique sublimation particles of its race allow superpowers and genetic evolution paths to coexist, and their strength far exceeds those of evolved bodies at the same level."

"Because it was relatively close to the Star Source Empire, it aroused their vigilance. After hundreds of years of twists and turns, it was finally destroyed."

During his time in the Torch Organization, Jesiah has gained a relatively clear understanding of the Ascended Civilization.

"The core Ascension high-level people created a series of Ascension relics when they were finally destroyed. The three most important ones are called the "Core Relics"."

"When it was destroyed, the Star Abyss Empire got one of them. About fifteen hundred years ago, another one appeared and was snatched away by an unknown person."

"The one discovered now is suspected to be the third one."

Li Ming suddenly realized that the core ruins were no wonder so valued. The Etlan civilization had been planning this for nearly ten years.

It is no exaggeration to say that Asmara's status today is partly due to the advantage of having been there.

Jessiah was quite emotional, "Although I don't know what the specific function of that thing is, if the Torch Organization gets it, it's hard to say that it won't overthrow the Itlan civilization in a few years."

"You guys, the great mechanics, don't seem to be targeting this thing?" Li Ming couldn't help asking.

Jessiah was helpless: "This thing is a hot potato. The Xingyuan Empire is high above, and it seems that it doesn't care much about this relic, but it keeps moving behind the scenes."

"The Itlan civilization is the pioneer, and the Torch Organization has devoted everything to it. The advanced civilizations of several nearby star clusters are also ready to move..."

"We, a few small mechanics, are courting death if we go to grab this thing. Our goal is other things in the ruins..."

Even though Jessiah is already a Class A mechanical transformation and a great mechanic, he still feels deeply powerless when these names are mentioned.

Li Ming did not comment, and the two chatted for a while and exchanged a lot of relevant information.

Until Li Ming showed his intention to expel him for the third time, Jessiah left reluctantly.

"This guy's fanatical worship of Monroe doesn't seem fake. Hmm... Let's see later, maybe it will be useful..." Li Ming pondered secretly, his thoughts flowing, and he glanced at the time.

According to the Blue Star time zone he has always set, it is now eight o'clock in the evening.

Switching to the [Matter Reorganization Maker] again, a group of metal particles kept changing shapes in his hands, and finally formed a silver-white metal mask.

[Distorted Mask--C-level: A mask made using a special method.

...

Control effect: 200% concealment blessing

Control energy-distortion force field: Obtain 400% concealment blessing and isolate sound waves from being transmitted. 】

"It's amazing..." Looking at the process of the mask from scratch, Li Ming couldn't help but sigh.

This thing really saved him a lot of effort. If he had any ideas, he could test them immediately.

He made a total of six similar masks, one of which was a B-level item. With the [Soul Mask] and professional blessing, the total concealment blessing can be 27.5 times.

The experiment and manufacturing consumed a total of about two million metal energies.

"I will start the real manufacturing work tomorrow, so today is a good time to try it out." Li Ming thought.

His main goal is to obtain more dimensional crystals, that is, alienated energy. Of course, as the main base of the Torch Organization, there should be a lot of good things here, but he knows nothing about it for the time being.

He must find a way to find out the general situation.

After a while, Lei Ting went out again, wandering left and right in the corridor, and finally waited for a figure, it was Theo.

After the banquet, Connet called Theo away alone, and only came back now.

Theo lowered his head and thought, his eyes swept over Lei Ting, and he didn't care at first.

Until the two passed by sideways, the moment their shadows met, Theo suddenly stopped and looked back suspiciously at the blue mechanical body that was going away.

His eyes fell on the other's shadow, and as the lighting tube lights in the corridor approached and moved away, his shadow was constantly shrinking and extending.

After hesitating for a moment, he appeared behind Lei Ting silently again, feeling the shadow passing over him.

"Is it an illusion?" Theo frowned and stood there for a long time before turning around.

"This old guy has a really sharp sense." Li Ming, who was hiding in the shadow of Thunder, was secretly surprised.

After the experiment, he breathed a sigh of relief. Under all the hidden blessings, he restrained his emotions and breath. Before he took action, even Theo could not find it.

This is the correct use of hidden blessings. He had been wondering before that no matter how high the hidden blessings were stacked, he could not make him disappear directly in the real world.

What is the use of this thing?

But now he understands that this thing is used to erase the intuition of life.

The intuition of advanced life forms is quite sharp, and even if they are slightly watched by someone in secret, they will feel it.

The hidden blessing needs to be combined with hidden means to really work.

At this time, Thunder has walked to the connection of the metal corridor outside this area. There are two torch soldiers guarding the end. They looked back at the blue mechanical body. If the other party takes another step forward, they will stop it.

But the blue mechanical body just moved sideways, no one knew what it was doing, until a strange light angle, Lei Ting's shadow intersected with the shadow of one of the soldiers, and in an instant, it fluctuated slightly.

Lei Ting stopped moving, and the two soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Not long after.

Two staff members passed by the corridor, paused, and looked into the metal corridor curiously.

"From the R\u0026D department? Hurry up, this is a level one warning area." The guarding soldier shouted in a deep voice.

The two staff members looked embarrassed, and then hurried away. After walking a distance, they looked back carefully.

One of them had two small mustaches and whispered, "I heard that the great mechanic Qinglong has arrived at the base."

"Really?" The other man, who didn't have much hair on his head, looked surprised, "How did you know?"

"I have my own way." The mustache looked proud, "Not only that, I also heard that the great mechanic Qinglong solved the problem that had troubled the other great mechanics for a long time as soon as he arrived."

The bald man exclaimed, "Is it really that amazing? They are all great mechanics, why is there such a big gap?"

"There are also gaps between great mechanics." The mustache said meaningfully.

The bald man was speechless, "Okay, with your level of mechanics, you can even forget the classification of alloy hardness values, so don't pretend to evaluate here."

The mustache man looked unhappy. The two of them exchanged a few words and then skipped the topic. "Hurry up. The equipment for the warship has arrived and is waiting for us to check it."

"Equipment for the warship?" In the shadow, Li Ming had already changed a pair of [Twisted Mask], and then activated [Intelligent Assistance] to outline the base map in his mind.

He was extremely unfamiliar with this place and had no clear goal, so he simply followed the two men for the time being.

The two men turned around and crossed the central corridor to the other side of the base. After many verifications, they took the elevator to the upper level of the base.

The metal door slowly opened, the friction between metal and metal came one after another, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rust.

This seemed to be the battleship assembly room. The complex structural parts on the huge crawler conveyor were slowly transported in. Under the action of the nearly 100-meter-long mechanical arm, they were gradually assembled into a general battleship.

It can be clearly seen that there are still many things missing, including ship guns, internal engines, energy circuits, etc.

The two were very familiar with this place. They walked through the battleship assembly room and a nearly 100-meter-long metal corridor and came to a huge open space.

Above was the boundless starry sky, protected by an ecological shield and providing sufficient oxygen.

In front of them, there were many metal boxes of all sizes. On a giant transport spaceship not far away, a large crane was unloading.

The two quickly got to work and began to count.

"Cruising Crow Cannon--246 pieces"

"246 pieces of quasi-quantum shield generators"

"..."

It seemed to be the main accessories of the battleship, Li Ming listened.

Engine, shield, fire control, these three major parts require extremely high technical difficulty.

Although the Torch Organization can build the basic battleship shell, this core component with extremely high technical difficulty still needs to be purchased.

"Main ship class - Astartes Spear, electromagnetic cannon..." The mustache stood in front of a nearly 100-meter-long metal box, looked up at the logo on it, and walked in through the gap in the box door. What appeared in front of him was a cannon painted in a bright blue color.

Main ship class gun barrel?

Li Ming suddenly became alert. The mustache who was recording suddenly felt a cold wind behind him. He looked back suspiciously, but there was only darkness.

[Astartes electromagnetic cannon-special type: electromagnetic compression ship-borne main gun, with extremely strong lethality.

Control conditions: 4 million metal energy

Control effect: electromagnetic concentration effect

Control ability-bombing: materialize the ship gun, bombard a target somewhere, (Note: need to store energy in advance)]
