This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 271 Take stock of your own plans for the future. Is there anyone who can help you?

"Cooperation."

The three of them looked at each other, and Cornett was noncommittal. "How do you want to cooperate?"

"Of course, it's joint development and win-win." Benny said calmly, "But there are too many people involved in this matter now."

"What do you mean?" Fernande was puzzled.

Benny said bluntly: "Those people in Qinglong are useless and will only cause us trouble."

"You want to attack them?" Ke Weisi laughed sarcastically, "Where do you get your ability from? Do you want us to be your thugs?"

Cornett shook his head: "We still need Qinglong to make a sublimator, or... do you have the relevant drawings?"

Benny ignored Corvis and said, "Unfortunately, a lot of core data was almost lost during the exile."

"Qinglong needs your help..."

"Wait..." Corvez interrupted Benny again, "Look at how you act like a boss here. Is there anything that can prove that what you said is true?"

"Huber, he has sublimation particles in his body." Benny said calmly.

Koves sat up straight instantly. Fernand was surprised and looked at Connit.

The sublimation particles that they had tried so hard to obtain but suffered so much loss in vain were now right before their eyes?
Cornette took a deep breath. These guys are really not easy to deal with.

Then, Benny said, "I'm not afraid of you robbing me directly. The conditions for using the Sublimation Source Crystal are extremely harsh, and the interior of the core ruins is extremely complicated. You may be able to get in with Huber's help, but you will never achieve your real goal."

Cornett said in a deep voice: "Keep talking, Qinglong is not easy to fool."

"Ha..." Benny laughed. "He's not only hard to fool, he's too smart. A few days ago, the manufacturing progress of the sublimator was stagnant, and I was a little anxious. He saw it and kept asking questions."

"However, I have been telling him these days that there is only 20% left in the manufacture of the sublimator. We still need to solve a core node and two crucial problems."

"But in fact, I have already solved one of the problematic particle actuators, and the only thing left is the focusing crystal coefficient."

"He has been hiding it for a while, just waiting for a good price. You just need to raise the price a little bit, and then ask him to prove it and solve the crystal coefficient."

"The rest is not a problem."

It’s too gloomy. This thought suddenly occurred to the three people at the same time.

Benny started plotting against Qinglong as early as when Deyes mysteriously disappeared.

Cornett's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly thought: "If Deyes had not disappeared, and the sublimator had been manufactured smoothly, what was your original plan?"

"Now, there is no need to discuss the original plan." Benny shook his head, "Once the sublimator is completed, you can take action against Qinglong, Jessia, Theo and the others."

When this was mentioned, the three of them fell silent again.

It sounds easy to say "take action", but except for Sandro, who among that group of people is a simple person?
Before Qinglong's eight nano-energy cannons appeared, it would cost a lot to suppress those people.

Qinglong's eight energy cannons fired out, and it would definitely be a problem to replace one of them, but the price to pay would be too high.

"Can't you offer any help?" Fernande demanded.

"Are you willing to let me reveal your coordinates?" Benny asked back, and Fernande choked.

"Let me think about it..." Cornette hesitated, and Benny shook his head: "It's easy if you don't want to kill them. The price you should pay will be taken from your share."

"Defeat them one by one, ambush, lure and kill, there is always a way."

Cornette paced back and forth, unable to make a decision. He passed over various ideas one by one, but could hardly find any effective method.

Try to divide and attack separately?
He shook his head subconsciously. The sudden disappearance of Deyes, a guy who was almost reduced to a tool, could cause a strong reaction from those people, forcing him to give an explanation.

Not to mention killing one person, they are all smart people and will join forces no matter what.

Just as I was thinking about it, the smart terminal in my arms vibrated slightly. I walked to the corner and opened it. It was a message reminder only for high-star users of the Black Hole Network.

Clicking on the Black Hole Network page, Connit's calm expression suddenly changed, and the pop-up window was an ordinary communication link.

But the person who initiated this communication link was no ordinary person.

The Glowing Saint - Wendel!
This account is the black hole network account passed down from generation to generation by the leaders of the Torch Organization, and it has many contacts.

But this one is the most special.

Because more than two hundred years ago, when the Torch Organization suffered the shock of destruction, it was this person or the organization behind him who extended a helping hand.

The flower of hope, the light that leads to freedom, the beacon of the stars, the place where the free men sleep - the Holy Revolutionary Army.

The Shining Saint, Wendel, is one of the saints of the Revolutionary Army and has led large-scale wars against several resistance organizations.

It can even be said that the reason why the Torch Organization knew that there was a dimensional rift here was because of this person.

At this moment, many speculations arose in Cornett's mind. He calmed down a little and said in a deep voice: "Everyone wait a moment..."

After that, without waiting for an answer, he left in a hurry. Benny watched him leave with a frown on his face, looking a little unhappy. What else could be more important than what he was saying now?
Coming to a quiet room, Connet subconsciously locked the door, took a deep breath, and then chose to answer the call.

"Sir Wendell." Cornette tried hard to make his voice sound neither humble nor arrogant.

"Torch Organization leader, Cornett?" Wendell said calmly, "I think we talked sixty-four years ago."

"Yes, you gave me very valuable advice at that time because of the Baleste Massacre." Konette nodded. "You suddenly contacted me this time, is it because...?"

"An Ye has contacted you, right?" Wendel went straight to the point.

"An Ye..." Cornett was stunned. There had been so many things going on recently that he almost forgot this name.

When this thought suddenly came to mind, a sense of enlightenment came to my mind, and I immediately understood how the powerful life form that dared to assassinate Grand Duke Guya had my contact information.

"Here's what happened. He contacted you alone, but you didn't respond to him, so he asked me to be the middleman. I was willing to use a free job as a price to let him know your exact coordinates and come to look for Qinglong."

"A free hire?" Connit's breathing stagnated slightly, and he suppressed his excitement and asked, "Can you please tell me why he is looking for Qinglong?"

"I don't know the specific situation. I'm just a middleman. If you want to agree, just contact him directly." Wendel said vaguely.

Cornette's mind raced. What could an assassin do by looking for Qinglong?
He had guessed last time, kill or kidnap?

Is Qinglong’s real enemy about to surface?
With Wendel as the middleman, Cornett felt relieved. He hesitated and said, "You should know our coordinates."

"I won't tell anyone without your consent." Wendell said calmly, "We are the implementers of free will."

Cornette exhaled a breath. The sudden appearance of Dark Night was like timely help. Qinglong and Theo's group were definitely no match for this legendary assassin.

"I can promise him, but not now. He needs to wait for a while." Cornette pondered. When the sublimator is almost finished, he will let the other party come, which will just solve the trouble at hand.

"I'm just delivering the message and acting as an intermediary guarantor. You can contact him directly." Wendel refused.

"I understand, thank you." Cornett nodded respectfully. When he raised his head, the communication had ended. He exhaled and clenched his fists.

In the room, Benny saw Cornett coming back and couldn't help but frowned and said, "What else is there to do than right now..."

Cornett straightened his back, his spirit and energy seemed completely different, and interrupted in a deep voice: "Just do as you say."

Benny paused, and Fernand and Coves also looked over, stunned and surprised.

……

Two days later, the entire core laboratory was packed up and moved onto the "Coyle".

This is the first main ship to be assembled, and it only needs the main gun to be installed.

It was originally a combat-type main ship, but because its main guns had been replaced, it was simply used as an ultra-large transport ship.

There are also more than a thousand warships of various types escorting the "Coyle" to its designated destination.

Because the scale of this trip is so large, the cost of using space worms for long-distance transmission is too high, so we can only leave here by normal jump navigation.

On the upper deck of the main ship, in the room where Li Ming was, there was a familiar stream of light outside the porthole.

He was taking out his daily necessities from the box, such as toothbrush, towel, clothes, etc., and placing them neatly one by one.
After cleaning up, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and nodded secretly.

Then he took out the [Magnetic Crystal Gravity Field] and unfolded the gravity field to develop the gene seeds.

Half a month has passed since Deyes disappeared.

His development progress has been steadily increasing and has now reached 41%. According to estimates, by the time the Red River Star Stream tidal period comes, it will definitely exceed 60%.

"We're getting closer. We should think about the A-level gene seed. It's not easy to get it."

Li Ming was thinking in his mind that it was always his good habit to prepare for a rainy day.

At the level of A-grade life forms, the destructive power is quite astonishing, so the control is extremely strict and the deployment is even more cumbersome.

Even for advanced civilizations, every leaked A-grade gene seed will be subject to strict scrutiny.

If they are not one of our own, or if it can bring them considerable benefits, we will never give it away easily.

"Even for an organization as powerful as the Torch Organization, it is difficult to obtain Grade A gene seeds easily. I heard that they were preparing for that Ted two years ago, but there has been no news until now." Li Ming pondered.

"The requirements for preparing A-grade gene seeds are extremely stringent, and there are only a few channels..."

"If we don't sign a thirty-year slave treaty, it's strange that they can give it to us."

"Tsk..." Li Ming frowned, feeling a little tricky, "How about we rob?"

However, given the preciousness of A-level gene seeds, even an advanced civilization like the Itlan civilization does not have them.

Basically, you submit an application, then develop a deployment plan based on the requirements, and then capture the A-level creatures.

The process requires a considerable amount of manpower and material resources, and if they are built but no one uses them, it is a waste of resources.

"Probably only empire-level civilizations have stocks. Going to rob them? It's like asking for death..." Li Ming shook his head, unable to think of a solution for the time being. "If it doesn't work, I can only let the Black Hole Network sell it. But the Black Hole Network doesn't support customization. Based on past experience, they are not good products."

He shook his head helplessly, then opened the control page again. Of the seven regular main combat control objects, three have already been upgraded to Grade A, namely [Justice Armguards], [Vortex Shadow], and [Felos Mecha].

[Silver-gray particles] belong to the special auxiliary type, while [Tank Guard Mecha] is the materialization type.

As for the controlled objects, there are still four left: [Mechanical Sub-Heart], [Heavy Mechanical Shield], [Thunder-Type Buckle Arm Armor] and [Flame-Type Buckle Arm Armor].

The upper limit of the improvement is still very large. A rough estimate shows that it will take about 38 million metal energies to upgrade all of them to level A.

And now, he has less than seven million left.

"Ah..." Li Ming sighed again, but he was not annoyed. As the main energy consumption, it would be strange when metal energy would be enough.

After getting a brief understanding of his current situation, Li Ming pondered: "When I have time, I will go check where those dimensional crystals are hidden."

Seven or eight hours later, Cornett summoned many great mechanics.

Li Ming is usually in silent mode, and it was Jessiah who came to call him specifically.

"Progress has been stagnant for many days, and Cornette can't stand it anymore."

On the way, Jessiah talked as he walked. The corridor of the warship was a bit narrow and could barely accommodate two people walking side by side.

Occasionally when they met people, they had to step aside. Those who could board this main ship had some status within the Torch Organization. Seeing Qinglong's courtesy, most of them were honored.

Li Ming said casually: "There is nothing we can do about it. The technology is difficult and we can only improve it slowly over time."

Jesseia remained noncommittal. On this main ship, the Torch Organization had no way of completely isolating them from an isolation zone, so the signal was still blocked.

The laboratory in the main ship was built by connecting several adjacent rooms.

Benny had already started working. Seeing them coming, Cornett said, "There is still about a month left before the tidal period of the red star stream. This sublimator is just one step away from being successfully manufactured."

"You are all great mechanics. You can't be unable to work without Deyes, right?"

"Alas." Li Ming sighed pretentiously, "I'm not up to the task."

Cornette's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to say more, so he said, "Sir Qinglong, please follow me."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, followed Connet out, and came to a room. He said straight to the point: "Mr. Qinglong, there is no need to be secretive. Just tell me what your conditions are."

"I know you have a way to solve the technical difficulties facing the sublimator."

"Hmm..." Li Ming pondered, and without further ado, he spoke directly, "I want an A-grade gene seed."

Cornette's mouth twitched fiercely, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency, are you asking for too much?"

Grade A gene seeds? How dare you ask for it? Regardless of the value of grade A gene seeds, this matter has nothing to do with gene seeds.
