This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 200: Thirty million metal energy small black room? Treasure house!

With many thoughts running through his mind, Ulrich said calmly, "I hope you can start as soon as possible."

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

Ulrich frowned slightly, but did not refuse. He followed Li Ming back in person. It was almost the same, although he didn't follow Li Ming closely.

He returned to the room, pretended to tidy up, and then came out again with a few clothes in his hands.

"That's all?" Ulrich asked suspiciously.

"Actually, there's nothing to clean up, but it happened suddenly, so I have to be mentally prepared." Li Ming said calmly, "And my few mechanical bodies, it should be quite boring in there, I'll rely on them to keep me entertained."

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

Huo Tan followed behind, not knowing 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 and returning to the restoration laboratory, Ulrich went on to say:

"During this period, if you need anything, you can use the silver communicator over there. Huo Tan will serve you specially, and your mechanical body will be delivered soon."

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

"Any questions?" Ulrich stared at him.

"No more." Li Ming acted very calmly. Even before Ulrich left, he couldn't wait to hold the broken square piece of metal in his hands, as if he couldn't let it go.

Ulrich frowned, but did not leave immediately.

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

Ulrich looked at Li Ming deeply, then turned around and left with Huo Tan. With a bang and the sound of gears turning, the heavy metal door was locked.

Li Ming's eyes gleamed, and Guard Lei Ting said, "Master, someone tried to crack our underlying code before coming here, but failed."

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

"…The subordinates reported that the underlying codes of the two machines were extremely strong. They tried to rewrite the numbers, but they were all overwritten by the ghost program that they could not detect." Huo Tan was also reporting.
"Those hackers were shocked. It seemed they had never seen such a ghost program before. There was no trace left."

Ulrich was not surprised, he had seen many mysteries in the other party, it was just a ghost program.

Hotan wanted to say something else, but seeing that Ulrich didn't look interested, he shut up.

Ulrich warned, "Keep an eye on him all the time. I want to know what he is doing and how far he has come in the restoration."

"Yes."

"Oh, I'm finally locked in a small dark room." Li Ming sighed in the laboratory. He had expected this, but instead felt a sense of novelty.

Look left, look right, and the novelty soon wears off.

He picked up a piece of material at random. It looked like it was only as small as the palm of his hand, but it also made him feel heavy.

This is the main material of the [Matter Reorganization Fabricator] - Korvana Alloy, which has incredibly high energy conductivity and ductility. Apart from the imperial civilization, only a limited number of advanced civilizations have the smelting method.

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

For such a small piece, he extracted nearly two million metal energies, and only then did slight traces of rust appear on the surface.

And here, there are still ten pieces. Li Ming's heart was filled with excitement. Just according to his conventional metal energy conversion formula, these are worth 2 billion star coins.

And there is also a technical barrier premium, the price will definitely be even higher. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for him to get access to this kind of material.

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

The metal energy density of this alloy is not as good as that of Korvana, but it excels in quantity. For such a large room, even if it is to remain basically intact, at least nearly 10 million metal energies can be extracted.

This is not just a small dark room, it is his treasure trove.

These two things combined are close to 30 million metal energies. Even if it takes 10 million to control the [Matter Reorganization Device], there is still a lot left over.

Of course, this place is only part of it, there is also the place under his feet.

Looking down, he seemed to be able to see through the thick metal walls and see the collector's treasure trove, just around the corner.

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

Unfortunately, [Space Flash] can only flash to places he can see, otherwise it would be more convenient.

Li Ming pondered over it, then stretched his body to prepare for the next big undertaking.

Rob won't take action for at least ten days, so he has enough time to drain most of the metal energy here.

At the same time, he could develop genetic seeds without anyone interfering, and he felt more and more that this was a good place.

……

The great mechanic Qinglong disappeared silently in the castle, and many people noticed this keenly.

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

"Lord Qinglong has temporarily left the Land of Stars." Huo Tan said with a smile.

"Leaving?" Rob was surprised. "We agreed last time that there are still some parts of my weapon drawings that need his help to modify."

Huo Tan shook his head helplessly, "I can take you to the fifth floor to find a few mechanics to help you take a look."

"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 has disappeared.

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

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

In a secret room, Hotan stared intently at the large screen in front of him, which was divided into a dozen small screens.

The situation in the restoration laboratory is monitored from all angles, and a three-dimensional data graph is presented in front of you, which you can zoom 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's figure was almost motionless, sitting on the floor, with one hand drooping on the ground, the other hand holding a broken metal block, his eyes staring intently, arcs of electricity, flames and other elemental energies emitting from his body from time to time.

This has been happening since the other party was locked up and became somewhat familiar with the environment.

The only difference is that they move every hour or so.

"Is he thinking about how to repair it?" Hotan guessed. He knew that everyone had quirks, but this great mechanic's quirks were a little unusual.

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

It is also possible that Qinglong is just thinking about how to repair it.

And this situation continued for another five days.

That day, Ulrich also came, with his hands behind his back, staring at the screen in front of him. "He's still like this?" Huo Tan smiled helplessly. "Yes, it's been ten days, and there has been almost no change. He hasn't made any requests. He occasionally looks at the materials, and he can look at them for hours."

"Isn't it taking too long for him to prepare?"

Ulrich was unsure, but he also knew that this thing was not so easy to repair, so he gave the other party a lot of time in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer. If it's still the same after ten days, I'll go ask him."

Hortan nodded and watched Ulrich leave.

Li Ming, who seemed to have done nothing, was actually thinking about something else at the 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 2856 million metal energies on the control page.

This was what he had gained these days. The metal energy had reached a certain level, and he wanted to upgrade the object he controlled to Class A, but he was unable to do so, as he was prompted to use dimensional crystals as a carrier.

He was not surprised, as Class B items required additional strengthening from the mother ore, not to mention Class A control items. What surprised him was the material called dimensional crystals.

He remembered this thing, and it seemed to be able to deify A-level controlled objects.

It is quite rare. Among the forces he has come into contact with so far, it seems that only the Torch Organization has it. Oh... there are a few more pieces in the safe below.

Li Ming's thoughts were in a rush, but he was not in a hurry and would be able to get it soon.

Moreover, although he couldn't upgrade it, he could find another way to repair it.

.........

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

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

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

A virtual screen popped up, with the images of the two people projected on the left and right.

Sandro was cursing: "…How the hell should I know what's going on? You are the one who brought the Inquisitor Civilization here. Why are you attacking my people?"

Theo frowned, and Ulrich's heart moved slightly. He switched to the local channel and found that a large amount of information was refreshing.

Sandro's territory was unexpectedly raided by the Judge Civilization. There were several videos, and he took a quick look. It seemed that the scale was not small.

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

Sandro said in a deep voice: "I can catch the person, but what should I do after I catch him? 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 the hell are these one-eyed bastards doing?"

Seeing Sandro like this, Theo glanced at Ulrich thoughtfully.

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

Sandro was a little anxious, "Ulrich, when you sent me the message, I was there the first time!"

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

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

"Let me go there."

Ulrich's heart was slightly moved. Kai? This guy seemed to be involved with that Ya Luo, and Ya Luo was involved with Li Ming.

Li Ming is also Qinglong's student, and he takes him very seriously.

Li Ming...Li Ming...

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

Sandro then breathed a sigh of relief and urged them to hurry up.

Theo had ended the call and was looking at the black screen in front of him, shaking his head. Ulrich still had the same old habit, so he had to let him guess for himself.

However, this seems to be an opportunity, and perhaps it can be planted on Sandro.

However, the Judge's attack 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 a dull pain in his missing eye. It was an old problem that would flare up whenever he was nervous.

They had been hiding here for several days and had no idea what to do until just now, when Rob told them the target of the operation - the Collector's Castle.

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

"Is there going to be no problem?"

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

"I've been displeased with Ulrich for a long time." Sislang grinned, "Take away all the collector's treasures!"

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

"Not a 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 already left the Land of Stars?"

The others were also surprised.

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

"Imprisoned?" Frosa was increasingly puzzled, but Rob had no intention of explaining. "I have already planned it. When there is a riot on the edge of the trading island, Cassis will leave with the guards, leaving only the old man Hortan. The collector is on his way out of the trading island and cannot contact the outside world. We will act in fifteen minutes."

"If successful, you will have a great mechanic who specializes in making weapons in the future." Rob then painted another picture.

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

Although they are all B-level life forms, they do not have corresponding weapons. On the one hand, it is because the prices are high, and most of the money they robbed is spent on squandering.

Another part of the problem is that we can’t find a suitable mechanic.

They were all envious of Xisilang's mechanical spear, and Xisilang himself couldn't let it go.

Frosa even glanced at Sislang and said, "Ha, old dog, it's too early for you to fight with your weapon. I'll fight with the same one as yours when the time comes."

Xisilan snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention.

Fifteen minutes later, Rob waited for a while until a message came from the smart terminal. The gloom on his face finally disappeared, and when his burly body turned around, a whirlwind was created.
