This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 249: Source Essence Obtained, Evolution Theory Upgraded (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Bosses)

"I don't know how the Torch Organization captured these dimensional lives. Did they escape on their own? Or did they go deep into the dimensional world and capture them..." Li Mingze was thinking. The Torch Organization still has many secrets.

Suddenly, Pierre stopped, turned sideways, nodded, and said respectfully: "Mr. Corvis..."

Coming towards him was a figure in a black robe.

Li Ming's eyes fell on his face and he was shocked. "Cornet?"

Isn't Cornette soaking in a black jar?

Li Ming quickly realized that something was wrong. This guy was not Cornette.

This man named Kovis had a face that was almost exactly the same as Connit's.

"Twins? Or clones?" Li Ming speculated subconsciously.

Kovis glanced at Pierre, said "hmm" lightly, and walked straight past.

Only after Kovis had walked some distance did Pierre continue his return.

During this trip, Li Ming had many doubts in his mind.

After Pierre returned to the office, Li Ming couldn't wait to hypnotize him and then asked him many questions. The answers to some of the questions were answered quickly.

Those dimensional creatures all escaped from the cracks in the dimensional world.

Every few years, or even more than ten years, dimensional creatures would escape, and as soon as they came out, they would be captured by the Torch Organization.

The base has been established here for more than two hundred years, and has captured far more than just these four-dimensional life forms.

But after years of consumption, only these four are left.

These dimensional life forms have many uses, such as the black liquid like petroleum and the blood code-named "Dead Soul Tentacles". Although it looks ugly, its blood has extremely strong cell recovery ability.

It is far more powerful than some of the advanced civilizations’ cutting-edge therapeutic devices.

Not only that, these dimensional life forms are also the main raw materials for making dimensional crystals.

This information surprised Li Ming, and he finally understood it after further investigation.

Originally, dimensional crystals can only be born when the dimensional world collides with the real universe, and the probability of this happening is too small.

Moreover, the Torch Organization's sphere of influence is limited to the Silver Cluster, and it may not be possible to encounter an example in more than ten years. The dimensional crystals collected are not enough for one operation.

Until they developed the technology to create dimensional crystals through dimensional life.

This technology is very complex and is only mastered by the most core members. It already existed when Peel joined.

After Li Ming figured it out, he couldn't help but think, "I don't know what changes will happen to the dimensional creatures after the gene source essence is extracted, but it shouldn't be reflected in a short period of time."

As for the origin of Corvis, Pierre didn't know much about it, but it was very likely that he was not a clone.

Although cloning technology is openly banned in the interstellar society, there are many people researching it in secret.

However, its application is not very widespread. The key reason is that the genetic map of higher life forms is too complex, and most of the cloned life forms will be deformed.

It is even more difficult to clone talents with high development potential. Even twins born from the same mother will have different development potential.

"I remember that the other A-level life form in the Torch Organization was not called Kevis." Li Ming frowned slightly.

Shaking his head, he put the matter behind him for the time being. He wasn't prepared to act violently anyway, so he just needed to be careful.

Snapped--
Pierre's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked around with a confused look, "Why do I feel like I'm in a trance again?"

He couldn't help but stand up and subconsciously raised his right hand.

He clenched his hands and looked even more confused. He always felt that there should be something in his hands.

He couldn't help but recall the scene of himself going to see Cornette just now, reporting, and returning...it was normal.

But he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He looked at the time, frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, then opened the smart terminal, found a contact, and said, "Zoge, come to my office..."

……

"…The Ethlan civilization will persevere in combating interstellar criminal activities. The Land of Stars has always been the cancer of the Silver Cluster, and even the cancer of many nearby star clusters…"

"…addictive drugs, interstellar human trafficking, heavy arms transactions are carried out here, and notorious guys such as murderers, robbers, and looters are hiding here…"

"…Now, all of this has become a thing of the past. The A-level wanted criminal Rosa is dead, the A-level wanted criminal Bartok has been captured, and the Star Hunter - Sandro has escaped with serious injuries."

"I, the commander of the combined fleet - Asmara, can solemnly declare that the Land of Stars has been destroyed!"

Looking at Asmara's determined expression on the screen, a hint of sarcasm appeared on Ford's face, but he quickly restrained it.

"The importance of timing..." Prince Baijan walked over, looked up at the screen, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes:
"Theo, Ulrich, and Sandro, no one expected that these three guys would just abandon the Land of the Stars."

"Without the three of them, the resistance of the power of the stars is too weak."

"Asmara got the advantage. Those three guys didn't escape because of Asmara." Ford sneered.

“Others would not see it that way.” Prince Baijan shook his head. “She eventually destroyed the Land of Stars.”

Ford shook his head but said nothing.

Prince Baijan continued, "The fleet of the Judge Civilization has already assembled, and several other nearby civilizations are also ready to make a move. The people under Grand Duke Guya will not sit idly by and watch Grand Duke Thornblood take advantage of this moment."

"I have news that Asmara has made a breakthrough in secret. What's your news?"

Ford shook his head, "Not yet."

Prince Baijan nodded, then looked at the screen and said inscrutable words: "The royal family has been trying to cover up this news, but unfortunately Asmara's ambition is beyond everyone's imagination."

"She used the [Sublimation Source Crystal] as a token of her allegiance and gained the support of the Grand Duke of Thornblood."

"This time, I don't know how many lives will be lost in her thoughts."

Ford's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but ask the question, "Didn't the royal family think of killing people to silence them at the beginning?"

Prince Baijian was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at his youngest son with a look he had never seen before, and said with emotion: "You have grown up."

Then he shook his head, "Why do you want to kill people to silence them?"

"The royal family..." His eyes flickered, "Since she has the ability, why not let her try?"

"If one day, she succeeds, Yitlan will be proud of her, and you and I will be proud of her too."

Ford was stunned for a long time and shook his head helplessly. He thought that his awareness was still too low.

"But if she can do it, why can't I?"

Perhaps because he had already noticed that Ford was completely different from before, Prince Baijan hesitated for a moment, closed the door, and finally revealed some more information:

"Asmara has planted a pawn inside the Torch Organization, the master mechanic Deyes. According to the information he revealed, Azure Dragon has shown even more powerful strength and means..."

Ford looked surprised, on the one hand because his father knew this information from the beginning but was not prepared to tell him, and on the other hand because of the shock brought by this news.

Two B-class mechanical bodies burst out with abilities comparable to those of A-class life forms, suppressing the A-class life forms whose development progress was close to 60%, and they could even repair themselves.

Including the previous silver mechanical body, the Great Mechanic Qinglong has three A-level fighters under his command, which is already a terrifying number in the Silver Star Cluster.

Ford was digesting this information and was about to say something when he looked up and saw that Prince Baijan had already left.

He was slightly stunned, then frowned, opened the smart terminal, and looked at the dialog box that had not been responded to for a long time.

"Where is Li Ming? Why did he disappear..."

This information is extremely valuable. The Great Mechanic must be the core figure in the Torch Organization's current plan.

Being instigated by Asmara means that all the other party's actions were within Asmara's expectations.

I should be able to exchange very valuable information from Li Ming.

"But..." Ford thought again that a lot of the information Li Ming had revealed before was equivalent to leaking Qinglong's whereabouts and plans, and it always felt like something was wrong.

He didn't know what was going on between the two of them.

"I hope the relationship between the two is a normal teacher-student relationship."

The tree that Li Ming was hugging was extremely strong. He hoped that the other party would hold on tightly, which would also be good for him.

……

The Silver Cluster, the Kvit civilization, is a low-level civilization covering only two galaxies.

The planet Semohet is located at the farthest corner of a galaxy. It is poor in resources and rarely visited by humans.

As the thirty-six-hour clock approached twenty-nine, Yaluo, carrying a hoe, faced the setting sun, grinned, and returned to the small mud house he had built.

After closing the doors and windows, I carefully peeled off the floor tiles, took out the smart terminal and signal amplifier,

After a while, he connected to the interstellar network. After watching for a while, he suddenly shouted: "Fuck, the Land of Stars is destroyed?"

What was playing on the screen was Asmara's declaration.

In an instant, he was sweating profusely and hurriedly opened the black hole network. While waiting for the network connection, his heart was confused.

Ever since Li Ming asked him to leave the Land of Stars and find a place to hide, he traveled to many places and finally came to this remote civilization, disappearing temporarily.

He also knew that his departure was to make it easier for Li Ming to act.

But he never expected that what happened next was far beyond his expectations.

The style of the painting of Li Ming's transformed Azure Dragon gradually became psychedelic.

What about wearing an A-class combat mecha, defeating Sandro, and teaming up with his A-class combat machines to capture Tiago.

God knows how shocked he was when he saw the battle video and discovered that his boss's boss was blasted into the ground by Li Ming's cannon.

Others may not know, but he knows that the Azure Dragon is Li Ming!
Especially after seeing the various speculations on the Internet about Qinglong's identity, what arose in his heart was not a sense of superiority that he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk, but a bone-chilling coldness and uneasiness.

He was really afraid that one day a strong man would suddenly appear from the sky, grab him and search his memory without saying a word.

I didn’t live in such a remote place originally, and I even rented a villa in the city. I was so happy.

But after learning the news, he hurriedly moved to the depths of a remote mountain forest.

It was so damn scary. Li Ming's current behavior was absolutely unreasonable. He even doubted that no one would believe him even if he told others about it.

He checked the backstage again but there was still no reply. His teacher Wu Yanqing and Li Ming seemed to have disappeared.

Today, he suddenly learned that the Land of Stars was destroyed, and no matter how stupid he was, he realized it.

The horrific storm had already arrived. With his small body, he could be crushed to pieces even if he just took a look at it, let alone get close to it.

"I just want to live an honest life. Please don't find me..." Yaluo's throat rolled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I'll completely cut off all contact with the StarCraft, is that okay?"

He gritted his teeth and broke the smart terminal in his hand into two pieces with a click, sparks flying everywhere.

…………

More than an hour later, Li Ming had returned to his room.

He couldn't wait any longer on the way, so he took out three of the A-level gene sources and upgraded the remaining evolution theories.

The gene source acts on the theory of evolution. Under the immeasurable power, the control page glows faintly and the icon slowly changes.

[Giant Mantis Evolution Theory] → [Giant Mantis Evolution Essence]

[Storm Piercer Evolution] → [Storm Piercer Evolution Essence]

[Evolution of Yanshan Guard] → [Evolution of Yanshan Guard]

"Cool!" Seeing the logo turn into a solid crystal pattern, he felt refreshed, as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart, or as if he was sipping an iced drink under the scorching sun.

I made a lot of money this time. I got four A-grade gene source substances, and after using them all up, I even had one left.

With an overall thirty-fold increase in development support, the development speed is bound to usher in a qualitative leap.

After a brief attempt, seven A-level evolutions worked together.

The cells reached an unprecedented level of activity, strands of red arcs of electricity surged along the skin, the body gradually became hotter, and a terrifying power surged.

"Although it's not as fast as the peak speed at level C, it's not slow either. I estimate it won't reach 1% a day, but it will definitely be more than 1% in two days."

As Li Ming was developing gene seeds, he thought, "Cornit is still seriously injured. Logically speaking, now is a good time to act."

"However, since another Corvis suddenly appeared out of nowhere, we can put the dimensional crystals aside for now so they won't be consumed all at once."

"But the three main guns can't wait. Once they are assembled, they will definitely go to where they are supposed to go."

"The scapegoat has been chosen, and the plan for taking action has been almost worked out. It's time to act."

After completing the goal of gene source, Li Ming immediately aimed at the next goal. It seemed urgent, but he had already made a plan.

He turned on the smart terminal and pulled out the blueprint design software. On it was a metal gun barrel. He was constantly making fine adjustments to make the shape closer to the gun barrels he had seen before.

"In ten days, the remaining two guns will arrive. Within a month, the first battleship will be assembled and will be put on trial. I can use Peel to postpone the trial."

"But once the three main ships are assembled, they will have to undergo sea trials..."

"However, the strength gained by delaying the game is enough..."

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all the bosses.

　　It’s the first Mid-Autumn Festival after marriage, and I have to run around both sides, so I’m very busy.
