This is not mechanical ascension.

"Your Excellency Benny." Qinglong suddenly came to his side. Benny suddenly woke up. Before his expression could adjust, he had already spoken:

"As expected of Your Excellency Qinglong, such a troublesome problem can be solved in three or two days."

"Alas..." Li Ming sighed, "I tried my best to do it."

"From now on, it all depends on Mr. Benny."

Benny forced a smile and said quickly: "I can't solve the problem of the energy focusing crystal by myself."

Li Ming was noncommittal and did not continue. After a few perfunctory words, he left the main ship laboratory leisurely.

Chi--The hatch behind him closed. He stood still, opened the smart terminal, and entered the battleship's internal network system. He contacted Cornit and asked to meet with him.

Before, Cornette might have said a few words of evasion.

But now he didn't say much, but directly arranged the meeting place.

Ten minutes later, the two met in the conference room.

"Your Excellency." Li Ming got straight to the point, "I have solved one of the two problems faced by the sublimator. Can part of the reward be paid?"

"Huh?" Cornette's eyes narrowed slightly, then glowed, but he quickly calmed down, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and nodded: "As expected of Your Excellency Qinglong..."

"Don't worry, half of the Lanhui gold will be delivered to your room soon."

"Well..." Li Ming smiled, "Why does it have to be done soon? I'm here anyway. Just ask someone to deliver it. It's only 10 kilograms. You can carry it back with you, saving your people another trip."

So urgent? Still don't believe me?

Cornette was thinking deeply and said: "Do you mind if I contact the main ship laboratory?"

"Whatever." Li Ming sat casually, tapping his fingertips on the table regularly.

Cornette glanced at him, as if he wanted to go out, but he still opened the smart terminal, paused at Benny's name, and then clicked on an experimenter below him-Bunitz.

The call was quickly connected, and the other party's voice was excited:

"Chief, I was just about to inform you that His Excellency Qinglong has just arrived. He easily solved the problem that has troubled us for many days, and the overall progress has taken a big step forward..."

Really solved.

Cornette's expression softened, he responded with a few perfunctory words, and then contacted Ted again.

Not long after, an exquisite small alloy box was delivered.

Li Ming opened it and saw that it was a neatly arranged piece of bright blue metal, exuding a faint brilliance. If you look carefully, you can also see a little golden light in the core.

This material is extremely tough and malleable, but has very inert particles and is widely used. The Etlan royal family even uses it to weave ancient ethnic costumes.

After checking and confirming that the weight was OK, Li Ming immediately said: "The leader is indeed a cheerful person. I will continue to study the following issues, so I won't disturb you."

Looking at Qinglong's leaving figure, Cornette rubbed his fingers and exhaled slowly. The plan was finally on track.

Although Qinglong delayed a little longer, he finally started to solve the sublimator problem.

"Benny was right, Cornette really has some confidence..."

In the room, Li Ming began to extract metal energy while thinking.

After the confrontation between him and Theo, he still remembered the shock on Cornette's face.

Everyone has seen his "strength", but Cornette still chose to continue according to Benny's plan, and he was very excited just now.

Where does Cornette's confidence lie?

"He seems to be completely sure that he will definitely be able to deal with us..."

Li Ming speculated that Cornette's confidence made him feel slightly uneasy.

More than half an hour later, almost as he had estimated, a total of 5.8 million metal energy had been extracted. Counting the remaining ones, the total amount had reached about 12.5 million.

Li Ming organized his thoughts. Naturally, a stall like this cannot be kept. If it is time to upgrade, upgrade it.

I opened the control page and thought for a moment, and finally selected - [Mechanical Sub-Heart]

It only costs 500,000 yuan to control it. Even if it is upgraded to A level, it only costs 5 million yuan, which seems to be cheap and high-quality.

But Li Ming doesn't need high quality and low price now. He only needs 5 million to upgrade. Obviously, the data will not be good-looking, let alone top-notch.

Therefore, he first used a mother ore called "Lake Blue Stone Heart" to strengthen it, slightly improving his physical strength and gaining the "resurrection" ability, which is the ability to recover from injuries.

The overall upgrade requirements also reached 8 million. Only then was Li Ming satisfied. He carried out the upgrade and controlled the upgrade route internally.

In the faint golden light, the mechanical secondary heart underwent earth-shaking changes. The silver-white metal on the surface floated away like soot, revealing a smoother metal shell. The whole expanded more than once, making it look more sci-fi.

[Life power core: the source of mechanical life.

Control effect: physical strength blessing--800%

Control ability - Mechanization: Obtain 1600% physical strength blessing and obtain the "Source of Immortality" characteristic. 】

A steady stream of physical strength burst out from deep inside his body. Li Ming felt as if he was filled to the brim, and his cells were more active than ever before.

After taking a long breath and adjusting a little, Li Ming had time to check out more of his specific abilities.

[Source of Immortality: After suffering a fatal attack, the controlled object will self-destruct and erase the attack damage]

Li Ming's pupils were slightly condensed, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and then his eyes flashed with light. Could he block the fatal attack?

He was not at peace inside, and he didn't expect that he still had this ability. Its effect is self-evident, and it is equivalent to giving him a second life.

But after a short period of calmness, he calmed down again. If he faced an already very tyrannical enemy and blocked one blow, there would be another one.

But in the face of sneak attacks and the like, it has miraculous effects. More importantly, he can reproduce this ability. Although the metal energy consumed is high, it is definitely worth it.

When he no longer has to worry about metal energy, do him ten or eight.

After gathering his thoughts, there were still more than 4 million metal energy left, but looking at the many control objects neatly arranged, with the front rows all being A-level, Li Ming felt a little more at ease.

With his current overall methods, as long as it is not an S-class life form or a reciprocal attack, he has room for change.

…

The automatic recognition mechanical door opened, and Cornette looked up and saw Benny with a gloomy expression.

In the room, both Covis and Fernand were present. After the door closed automatically, no one spoke.

Cornette took out a purple crystal and crushed it suddenly. Purple energy burst out and then passed through everyone's bodies, forming an energy barrier and enveloping them.

Until the energy barrier was completely formed and there was no abnormality, Cornit breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem."

He added, "There is no one in the shadows either."

Fernand couldn't help but snorted: "This is our main ship, our territory, but we keep it secret every time we meet."

Kovis' face was also very ugly: "What can we do? Those two guys..."

At this point, everyone's expressions changed slightly, even though nearly ten days had passed since that confrontation.

But every time they think about it, they feel an indescribable feeling of panic in their hearts.

From time to time, he would look back at his own shadow, fearing that a pair of iron fists would suddenly emerge from it.

"Don't think about it anymore." Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more silent, Konite couldn't help but interrupt and looked at Benny: "Your Excellency, Qinglong has solved that problem according to the plan. When can you complete the sublimation device according to the plan? come out?"

Speaking of this matter, Benny's face became even more ugly, "There was an accident. Although Qinglong solved the problem, it was the particle actuator that was solved..."

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Benny explained: "The problem he solved is the same as the one I have solved. The current situation is no different from before."

"Um?"

Something went wrong?

Cornette was slightly stunned and couldn't help but said: "The same one? Didn't you say Qinglong will definitely solve the other one?"

"Who knows what happened to him..." Benny gritted his teeth.

Corvis couldn't help but sneered: "Ha, weren't you absolutely sure before that Qinglong would proceed according to your plan?"

"..." Benny had nothing to say, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

Fernand looked around and couldn't help but said: "Then wouldn't it be a waste of our efforts and giving him so much Lanhui gold and throwing it all away?"

Corvis continued to hit the target: "You are so self-righteous, it's better not to do anything unnecessary. Even if we let Qinglong blind pick, we still have a 50% success rate."

Accident, accident again, Cornette couldn't help but feel depressed.

After being criticized repeatedly, Benny couldn't hold back. "My original idea was fine. Who knows what he was having?"

"Perhaps, he already knows our plan." Kovis said coldly.

"Huh?" Benny was startled and couldn't help but said, "How could it be?"

Corvis retorted: "Why not? He may be lurking in someone's shadow and has already found out everything."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed, and Cornette scolded: "Okay, don't intimidate yourself."

He was also helpless. Now that the name Qinglong was mentioned, several of them couldn't help but get angry.

Without An Ye's backup, they could basically declare surrender and there would be no way to play.

"What exactly does he want to do?" Fernand couldn't help but asked: "His goal should also be the core ruins. Creating a sublimation device will also be good for him. Why isn't he anxious?"

"Perhaps he has a prepared sublimation device in his hand?" Benny suddenly said, several people looked over, and Fernand couldn't help but said: "How is it possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Benny sneered: "According to his understanding of the sublimator, he must have disassembled it completely, or he must have the original drawings."

Corvis couldn't help but sneer: "If it's what you said, then why did he come to our organization base to play house with us?"

Benny paused. This really didn't make sense, and he felt even more irritated.

Everyone fell into silence again. The green dragon was like a thorn stuck in their throats. They could not spit it out or swallow it. If they were not careful, it would cut their throats and cause damage.

I have never felt such a sense of frustration.

"If we hadn't invited him here from the beginning..." Fernand muttered, "or with the help of the power of the Eternal Realm, we could have killed him earlier..."

Cornette's face darkened, "Don't blindly speculate here. Just wait a little longer. Maybe it's not as complicated as we think."

"But what if he is really reluctant to create it?" Benny raised his head, "What are your methods? Just catch him and search the memory."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Cornette. He answered a message last time and confidently agreed to Benny's plan after he came back.

But where the confidence came from, even Covis didn't know.

Connit hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's easier to capture someone than to kill someone. At the last moment, he wanted to destroy his brain, which is easy."

"In the end, we may get nothing. The risk is too great."

Everyone looked surprised. Even at this point, Connit was still confident that his trump card could at least kill Qinglong.

Especially Keweisi, he asked many times, but Connit remained silent, especially after seeing the confrontation with Theo, he forbade them to mention this matter.

"Then is there any other way now?" Benny asked, "Why not take a gamble!"

Connit frowned. Now they are really desperate and can't let Qinglong lead them by the nose.

His eyes condensed slightly, as if he had made up his mind, "I know, everyone just wait."

"Wait more?" Benny frowned, Connit's voice was a little colder: "Sir Benny, if you are more capable, we don't have to spend so much effort."

Benny's face flushed, but he quickly restrained himself and said nothing.

Waving his hand to let everyone leave, Connet sighed.

It's not that he wants to wait. They are now in a state of navigation and are moving every moment. Even if they tell the coordinates to An Ye, it will be difficult for the other party to find them, and it will be a waste of time.

Moreover, according to the communication not long ago, the other party is still near the Land of Stars and it is not easy to leave. He can only wait until he is stationed and then notify the other party.

At the same time, this period of time is also the last time he has left for Qinglong.

He hopes that the other party can solve the problem of the sublimator directly, rather than searching the memory, which is too risky.

All parties have their minds floating, but they have found the last way out.

Therefore, the main ship has calmed down instead, and only Connet sent people from time to time to urge Qinglong to solve the last problem facing the sublimator as soon as possible.

But it is this calm atmosphere that makes everyone feel a breath of impending storm.

Silently, ten days later, their small fleet came to the vicinity of the Red River Star Stream.

The main ship has stopped jumping and is parked in a desolate starry sky. The intranet notifies that the safety of the temporary base is being confirmed.

After waiting for half a day and confirming that the temporary base is not exposed and there are no traps, they continue to move forward.

Landing on the remains of a star, the whole is slender, the surface is extremely irregular, and there are potholes.

Everyone got off the main ship. Li Ming stood on the barren surface and looked up. He could clearly see the magnificent Red River Star Stream, like a red crack tearing the universe.

Compared with the past, it seems to be redder, and the waves can be observed with the naked eye.

It looks like ripples like a stream, but in fact, Li Ming knows clearly that those seemingly subtle ripples contain countless planets.

Even A-level life forms are like ants in front of such great power.

"How vast the universe is..." Li Ming's heart was filled with waves.

When he left the Land of Stars, he could barely fight against A-level life.

Now, he only needs a thought to kill Sandro, which is completely different from the past.

But facing the Red River Star Stream, he felt even more insignificant.
