This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 144: Unexpected Mother Mine Arrives
[Yanlei Emperor Evolution Theory], this is the item that Li Ming chose to control, which can increase the development speed and improve his basic strength as soon as possible.

Soon, Chen Dahai's house was turned upside down, and some clues were indeed found to confirm the identity of the other party, Fire.

This incident caused quite a bit of impact, and after several senior executives discussed it, they issued new instructions.

In principle, members of the temporary command center are not allowed to be alone with Li Ming and Ford.

If it is necessary to meet alone, a gene suppressor must be worn to prevent any unexpected situations.

All outside visitors must wear gene suppressors!

The screening of fire sources has become increasingly strict, especially for members of the temporary command center.
In full swing, another seven days passed.

.........

In the Torch's hidden main ship, the leader's projection was looking through the information and said in a deep voice, "How could it be so slow to send in such little material and personnel?"

The subordinate reported helplessly: "Chief, these things are contraband and banned. We have already activated the high-level fire of Xingchuang Company, but it will take time to deliver them bit by bit."

The leader frowned, then asked, "Any news about the two secret-level fire seeds?"

"No, we have no way of getting any information from them. I'm afraid they are in grave danger."

Hearing this, the leader's face darkened, "Speed ​​up!"

"Yes!"

.........

"Li Ming is exercising again?"

In the metal corridor of the laboratory, Ford stopped Li Ruoning who was walking towards him and asked.

"Your Highness Ford..." Li Ruoning nodded and greeted him first, then responded: "Yes, Li Ming is in the training room now."

Upon hearing this, Ford couldn't help but ask, "He used to be like this too, often staying in the training room?"

"Yeah." Li Ruoning smiled bitterly, "Yeah, when he has nothing to do, he likes to stay in the training room and rarely even goes out."

This guy is really hardworking, Ford secretly sighed, developing genetic seeds is not a pleasant thing.

"The training room is over there." Li Ruoning wanted to take Ford there, but was rejected.

"I've been here, I know where it is."

In the training room, Li Ming was shirtless, his strong muscles trembling constantly, sweat pouring down his face, arcs of electricity and flames rising from his body surface from time to time, and he assumed postures that were difficult for a normal living being to do.

With his eyes closed, [Yanlei Emperor Evolution Theory] was also running. He could clearly feel that his cells were extremely active, and electrical energy and thermal energy passed through the cells according to a specific pattern, making them in an excited state all the time, causing constant pain and itching.

The exercise method and the theory of evolution are running in his body at the same time. If other people saw it, they would definitely be shocked.

At a certain moment, a blazing arc of electricity suddenly exploded from his body, and flames roared all over his body, filling the entire training room, and the aura of a high-level predator became even stronger.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh and quickly walked to the genetic testing device in the room. After some operations, the numbers popped up.

"60%"

Sure enough, Li Ming grinned, his development progress officially passed the second node.

Ever since he mastered the [Flame Thunder Evolution Theory], his development system has gained another powerful member.

This theory of evolution can bring about eight times the development progress and replace a C-class gene radiator. This back and forth is equivalent to a six-fold increase.

This brought his development speed back to the terrifying rate of 1% increase per day, although it would of course slow down after reaching 60%.

He took a sip of nutritional potion, and at the same time, the physical exertion brought by running the theory of evolution was a bit too much for him.

However, during this time, he did discover that the recovery blessing was not only useful for his injuries, but also for his physical strength, or more precisely, for all aspects of his body.

It did make him think a lot, and the recovery system might be more important than he thought.

During these seven days, the laboratory was almost cleaned up, and the staff returned to the laboratory one after another from the temporary command post.

The star port blockade has also been partially lifted. It is impossible to keep detaining passengers from foreign civilizations.

The investigation into the incident is not yet completed, but the temporary command post still stands in the open space outside.

At the same time, after the last incident, a considerable number of staff members submitted their resignations.

They were really frightened, and Luo Chuan didn't say much. He signed a hefty severance package for them, along with corresponding letters of recommendation.

If they are going to work in another laboratory, letters of recommendation will play a big role.

However, the blockade of the entire experimental island has not been lifted yet, so they cannot leave for the time being.

After pushing open the door, Li Ming paused slightly and saw Ford standing not far away.

"Count Ford, how come you have time to come to see me?" Li Ming greeted.

Ford's reward has come down. He didn't get the hereditary earl title, but he was given the title of earl. It is said that he was also given a remote planet as a fiefdom.

Ford's face darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I have already made some progress on what you asked me to do."

"Oh." Li Ming didn't continue to talk nonsense with him. When the two came to his room, Ford continued: "I got four pieces from several collectors. Some people charged less for my sake."

"It's hard to calculate the exact amount of money spent, but overall, 500 million is definitely enough."

The pain on Ford's face did not seem fake. Li Ming smiled and said, "Count, the planet is worth the money."

Ford said coldly: "My father also paid a lot for this."

"I understand, I understand." Li Ming said perfunctorily, "When can the things be delivered to me?"

Ford responded: "It's on the way, through Giant Shield, expedited, within a week."

"Ha..." Li Ming was quite looking forward to it, and even Ford seemed to be more pleasing to his eyes. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go eat. The cafeteria in our laboratory is pretty good."

"Master Liu's tiger grouper is a must-try. It is usually only available on Mondays. During this time, he can't go anywhere, so he can only stay in the kitchen and cook."

Ford's expression changed, but he remained expressionless in the end. He wanted to pretend that he and Li Ming had a good brotherly relationship.

But when I see that smiling face, I remember the time when the other person threatened me, and it feels so awkward.

"I'd better go back to the temporary command post." He didn't want to stay with Li Ming any longer.

Li Ming didn't care. The two of them went out and happened to see Li Ruoning standing not far away with an ambiguous look on her face.

"Why are you here?" Li Ming looked at her suspiciously.

"Someone is looking for you. He says he's the regional director of Xingchuang Company, and his name is Sun Jingan." Li Ruoning came over and responded quickly, "They stopped him outside. Do you want to see him?"

"Regional director of Xingchuang Company?" Li Ming recalled secretly. He had no impression of this person and had never even seen him.

Why did he come to find me?
Ever since he handed over part of the evidence he got from Fu Zongchen to Xunying Company and asked them to deal with Xingchuang Company, he hasn't paid much attention to this aspect.

"Not interested, no thanks." Li Ming shook his head.

"Okay, I'll tell the outside." Li Ruoning was operating on the smart terminal. After a moment, she frowned slightly and looked up at Li Ming: "This regional director said before leaving that something happened outside and suggested that you pay attention to it."

"Oh?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Ford: "What is the specific background of this Xingchuang company?"

Ford hesitated for a moment and said, "The property of Grand Duke Collier."

"He is also a Class A life form, the Pillar of Itlan," Ford added.

A-level life form, Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

After seeing Ford off, Li Ming turned on the smart terminal and first found Xunying Company’s regional director, Huang Jianzhong.

"Li Ming..." As soon as the call was connected, Li Ming noticed the fatigue in Huang Jianzhong's tone.

Something really happened?
Li Ming probed: "I heard that your company seems to be having troubles recently."

"Alas..." Huang Jianzhong sighed and said helplessly: "It's not just bad luck, it's simply bad luck."

No way, the evidence is all over your face, and you still haven’t taken down Xingchuang Company?

Li Ming complained in his heart, and at the same time he heard Huang Jianzhong say: "We planned to proceed step by step, and we were about to bring down Xingchuang Company."

"But who would have thought that Blue Star launched a large-scale screening and found out that our Xunying Company secretly smuggled a group of Torch people."

"You still dare to have contact with Torch?" Li Ming was quite surprised when he heard this.

"How is that possible?" Huang Jianzhong said with gritted teeth, "It was all done by the people below. I had no idea. In fact, the people below didn't know either. They just stuffed a few people in when transporting the goods. I thought they were just smuggling, but who knew it was Torch's people."

"Because of this incident, all our business activities have been suspended."

"Although most of Xingchuang's assets have been frozen, they must have taken a breather. They will definitely take advantage of this situation to crush us."

The chain reaction caused by the torch harmed Xunying Company. It turned out that Sun Jingan came to show off his power to me.

Li Ming was also somewhat speechless, but he continued, "Is Xingchuang Company so clean? Don't they have people who secretly make money?"

"It seems, really not." Huang Jianzhong hesitated, "I don't know the specific situation."

No? Li Ming sneered.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is that all?"

"Hmm..." Huang Jianzhong pondered, "There is nothing else important, but your little brother, Zhang Huaiyuan, was tricked by Xingchuang Company and was beaten badly."

"do not you know?"

"Zhang Huaiyuan didn't tell me." Li Ming shook his head. He didn't talk to him too much and turned around to find Zhang Huaiyuan again.

"Brother Li..." Zhang Huaiyuan's voice was hoarse.

"Were you beaten by Xingchuang Company? What happened?" Li Ming asked directly.

Zhang Huaiyuan hesitated, "It's not a big deal. My father worked with Xunying Company on Silver Grey Star and ruined a lot of their business. They were just teaching me a lesson."

"The injury is not serious, so I didn't tell you."

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Come over tomorrow."

He thought about it, found Li Ruoning, and said, "If Sun Jingan comes again tomorrow, let him in."

Li Ruoning didn't know what he was thinking about, hesitant to speak, and wrote it down in his memo.

Sure enough, the next day, Sun Jingan came again.

At nine o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the laboratory door, ready to go through layers of testing.

"Except for him, no one else is allowed to enter." The armored guard stopped the other accompanying personnel. The assistant beside Sun Jingan glared at him, "Why can't we enter? We have already been tested."

"Either go in alone, or everyone goes back." The guard was wearing an alloy helmet, and the glass windows of his eyes were also ink-colored. His tone was cold.

"You guys wait here, I'll go in by myself." Sun Jingan didn't care until the other party took out the gene inhibitor, then his face darkened.

"You have to wear this thing?" The assistant looked incredulous. "This person is the regional director of Xingchuang Company, not a criminal!"

"If you want to see either Li Ming or Ford, you must wear it." The guard said in a cold tone: "Or go back."

Sun Jingan hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "Then take it with you. No one dares to kill me in here."

This is not a shackle-style gene inhibitor, which would be too ugly. It is just attached to the back of Sun Jingan's neck and to the spine.

After putting on the gene inhibitor, his body felt weak and this feeling made him very uncomfortable. He tugged at his collar, and even the alloy box in his hand became heavier.

"Let me hold it for you."

A guard led Sun Jing'an into the tightly sealed experimental island. His eyes flickered as he looked around, but he was scolded:

"Don't look around or ask around. If you break into the red-lined areas, you can be shot on the spot."

"The final right of interpretation belongs to the Yitlan Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization."

Sun Jingan nodded and looked away, but someone called out, "Director Sun?"

He stopped, looked around, and asked in surprise: "Duke Bai Ye?"

The person who came was Duke Bai Ye, who was wearing a green cloak. When he walked, the wind blew. The two seemed to know each other. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see Li Ming." Sun Jing'an explained. Duke Bai Ye seemed to be thinking about something, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the regional director of Xingchuang Company. How can you treat him like this?"

"Untie it quickly."

The guard shook his head: "Your Excellency the Duke, this is an order. Anyone who meets with Li Ming and His Highness Ford alone must wear a gene inhibitor."

Duke Bai Ye looked unhappy. Sun Jingan shook his head secretly. Being the Duke of Sera, he had no status in Blue Star.

He came to the rescue and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since it is a rule, we must abide by it."

Duke Bai Ye exchanged a few words with him and agreed that they would have a meal after Sun Jingan met Li Ming, and then they went their separate ways.

The guard sent him to the laboratory door, and then Li Ruoning took over.

At the same time, in the reception room, Zhang Huaiyuan looked haggard, completely different from the ambitious look he had when he met Huang Jianzhong.

"Brother Li, I'm sorry... for causing you trouble." He whispered.

"Don't tell me you're sorry." Li Ming poured a glass of water and handed it to him. Zhang Huaiyuan took it with both hands, his face full of shame: "I thought it was too simple."

"They are all old foxes. You are lucky that you have not been eaten. Their target is me." Li Ming said, "You are just an innocent innocent."

"I understand." Zhang Huaiyuan knew this very well. He posed no threat to Xingchuang Company. He was just a small follower.

There was a knock on the door, and it was pushed open. Li Ruoning turned sideways, and behind him was Sun Jingan, which immediately made Zhang Huaiyuan's face tense.
