This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 503: We need to find something for Qinglong to do
In the Mechanical Royal Court, Li Ming opened his eyes and stretched out his hand. A misty red-gold liquid was slowly flowing and sinking into his fingers.

"It's only been more than ten days, which is not too slow." Li Ming muttered.

After absorbing the blood of the world, he took the smart terminal and scanned the messages.

"…The laboratory was built so quickly. Mikhail is really efficient…"

"Hmm? News from the Empire?" Li Mingfan found a piece of information that was found through the channel of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms.

It still belongs to the official foreign affairs department.

"…The Scarlet Wolf, the higher life form of the Empire, Lord Ivan, lost contact near the Mechanical Royal Court some time ago. If Lord Qinglong has any clues, please let me know…"

The first time I contacted him was ten days ago, the second time was five days ago, and the most recent time I urged him was three days ago.

"I hope Your Excellency Qinglong will respond as soon as possible."

"Is it so natural?" Li Ming couldn't help but frown. Ivan had become a piece of ashes. There was not a clue at all.

He was too lazy to pay attention and simply blocked her.

He scanned another message from Monroe, and couldn't help but become interested. He stretched his limbs slightly, then left the main base and headed straight for the R&D department.

It is called a research and development department, but in fact it only reproduces various materials left by the hammer forger.

Monroe is just a great mechanic, and his research and development capabilities cannot keep up with the development of the Mechanical Court.

In the R&D department and core laboratory, this large and sophisticated instrument is placed in a spacious space.

Monroe pointed to the silver metal helmet in front of him and said, "This is the spiritual projection device of the Hammer Forger..."

On the forehead of the helmet, there is a crystal clear purple crystal, emitting some invisible ripples.

Li Ming was quite envious of the way other master craftsmen could travel outside relying only on mechanical bodies.

Monroe started his research long before heading to the Red River Star Stream.

Monroe explained with a bit of shame, "Although there are drawings left by the forging master, it is still very difficult to manufacture. It took four or five months to succeed."

"However, this is not a simple mental projection, but a spiritual body projection."

Monroe explained to him, "The conventional projection of consciousness is to transmit part of the mental power remotely. The advantage of this is that even if the network is disturbed, part of the mental body can continue to be active."

"But once traumatized, this part of the mind will be permanently damaged, and the danger is very high."

"This improvement of the Hammersmith's equipment is to create a virtual spiritual body through a method similar to quantum entanglement. It has a strong anti-interference ability and will not harm itself."

Li Ming nodded and tried to touch——
[Spiritual projection device - special type: a crude copy of the divine craftsman's technology.

Control conditions: 300 million metal energy

Control ability - Marking: Can mark three mechanical bodies and descend at any time as a virtual consciousness body. 】

It’s actually a special type with no levels?
Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised. The amount required for control of 300 million was already not low.

In other words, this thing is not like a weapon that requires hardness.

Moreover, most of the core materials can be purchased, otherwise Monero cannot be reproduced.

This [Marking] ability should be more useful than its own virtual mental mapping, after all, there is an "at any time" instruction.

"Thank you, sir." Li Ming nodded, and Monroe also waved his hand, "You're welcome."

He left with the thing and returned to the main base room. He used the little remaining metal energy to control it, and then selected a mechanical body to try it out.

"Interesting..." Li Ming looked at himself, as if his vision was split in half, with both his main body and the mechanical body appearing in his observation, which was quite strange.

He can also focus on a certain field of view.

He experimented for a while and found that the anti-interference ability was indeed terrifyingly strong.

Li Ming's current means of blockade and interference are unable to cut off the connection between the two.

"It just so happens that Mikhail wants me to go to the Master Craftsman Laboratory and send a mechanical body." Li Ming thought about it and asked Suzaku to give a few instructions while he developed the gene seeds comfortably.

.........

More than half a month later, a slender spaceship leapt into an empty starry sky, and the surroundings seemed silent and dark.

But not long after, ripples appeared in the void, and warships appeared out of thin air, as if to welcome them.

The slender spaceship followed these warships, passed through the invisible barrier, and arrived at a space barrier. The silver-white metal shell stretched out for a long distance with clear edges and corners, and the energy light around it was dancing like flowing colors.

The force of the magnetic field causes the surrounding space to distort.

The spacecraft was towed into the airport, where Mikhail and Reynolds were already waiting.

As a result, when he saw that the person walking down from the spaceship was just a mechanical body like the Darth Vader, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Didn't I tell you that it's better to come in person? Why is it a mechanical body? Even Li Ming wasn't sent." Reynolds muttered.

The pupils of the mechanical body moved slightly, and the body stiffened. Li Ming had already arrived and said, "I have something else to deal with, so I really can't get away."

Reynolds and Mikhail have become accustomed to the fact that no communication fluctuations can be detected when the Azure Dragon arrives.

Reynolds sighed, "Mikhail is right. You are probably studying the things that the Protoss gave you and you can't take care of this at all."

Mikhail's cheek twitched. Li Ming glanced at him but didn't care. He said, "I have great confidence in the skills of the two master craftsmen. One more person won't make much difference."

Mikhail had anticipated this and said calmly, "Everything is basically ready. I wanted to wait for you to come and start together. Since you can't spare the time, let's start first."

They all descended in their true form, and this was a high-tech experiment, and any slight fluctuation or delay could result in all the previous efforts being wasted.

This involves their future evolution, so naturally they have to ensure that everything goes well.

The two men took him into the laboratory and showed him around. There were all kinds of cutting-edge equipment and instruments prepared, many of which Li Ming had never even seen before.

They first began research on the prototype of the Mechanical Seed.

During the main experiment, Li Ming looked at the mechanical seed placed on the operating table and couldn't help but ask.

"How long do you think it will take to succeed?"

"It's hard to say." Mikhail shook his head, looking quite solemn: "Although this is only the lowest level of mechanical seeds, it contains the essence of the Holy Spirit civilization."

Reynolds added: "Preliminary testing has been done, and the materials used are of a nature we have never seen before. Results may not come within a decade, but could take tens, hundreds, or even centuries."

Mikhail nodded, "But, we have plenty of time. Once we succeed..."

At this point, his eyes couldn't help but be fiery, "Our strength will be terribly increased. We won't even need a united organization of higher life forms to rival the three great civilizations."

Reynolds nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this path of mechanical evolution can not only benefit the vast number of mechanics, but also work on the mechanical bodies under our command." Li Ming's face couldn't help but look strange, and he exclaimed: "What a good idea, I'm waiting for good news from you two."

Mikhail restrained his expression and glanced at him with dissatisfaction, but thinking of the Mechanical Holy Spirit, he didn't say much.

Li Mingze asked, "By the way, how is the discussion on the Machinists Association going? It's been almost three months."

"It's basically been negotiated. Many allies of the Empire and the Federation have gradually restrained themselves two months ago. The announcement should be made within ten days." Mikhail looked more serious.

"However, the Mechanics Guild has already suffered a heavy blow, and the Star Alliance has been kept in the dark. It is impossible for them to cooperate with the Empire and the Federation. We will have troubles ahead."

"It's only in name, but it's good to have a name." Li Ming shook his head.

"It's not dead in name only. This has both good and bad sides. At least it helps us screen out a large number of bad apples. After our discussion and incorporation into the Interstellar Alliance, both the assessment and subsequent supervision will be very strict." Mikhail couldn't help but say, "Perhaps, this is also an opportunity for a complete transformation."

The Mechanics Association is a mixed bag, with various factions formed before. Even Reynolds and Mikhail are involved, so it is extremely difficult to slim down the organization.

Now, external forces have helped them complete this step, and those who remain are basically mechanics who do business honestly and have not violated any regulations.

"After the announcement, I plan to let the Mechanical Royal Court gradually enter the orderly civilization through the Mechanics Association. I hope the two master craftsmen can help me a lot." Li Ming said frankly.

Reynolds agreed generously: "No problem."

Mikhail's eyes flickered, and he nodded, saying, "The chaos during this period has squeezed out a lot of the market. The Mechanical Royal Court can intervene just in time."

After happily reaching an agreement, Li Ming asked again: "How is the matter of the corpse? What is the situation between the Empire and the Federation?"

"The Empire and the Federation are still arguing over the site selection. Both want to choose a place closer to the experimental base." Mikhail sneered: "I'm afraid they will have to argue for a while."

"There are three of us. We can just send a few robots over there to pretend. I'm afraid they will get in our way."

They are not prepared to really contribute to the Empire and the Federation. They still have to study the seeds of machinery and do not have that much time.

There's no benefit in studying corpses.

Li Ming couldn't help but grin. When they were besieged, Mikhail vowed to do his best.

Now that it's out, everything has changed.

However, he also planned to send a mechanical body to monitor the progress.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Li Ming found a room for his mechanical body to stay.

He sent this mechanical body here to actually supervise the progress of the two master craftsmen and ensure that everything was under his control.

.........

"…Klonoa really switched sides?" Adam's shocked voice came from the screen. His expression quickly calmed down and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

In the battleship office, Costat smiled helplessly, "I don't know the specific situation, I only know that Li Ming came to that dimensional world again, and after only waiting for more than ten days, Klonoa changed sides."

"Did a battle take place?" Adam speculated at first, but then denied it: "No, if Qinglong could have overwhelmed Kronoa with his strength, there would be no need to go through so much trouble."

His brows were furrowed and his heart was not at peace. Klonoa's surrender came without any warning and shattered many of his thoughts.

Qinglong became increasingly unpredictable, and the opponent's movements were heading in the direction he least wanted to see.

Suddenly, he became alert and asked in a deep voice: "Did Li Ming know that you deliberately reminded Chronoa?"

"I exchanged this information as Talos, and Klonoa said he did not disclose it." Costat said quickly: "I can feel Klonoa's emotions. He is very unwilling and angry."

"Although I don't know what means Li Ming or Qinglong used, he must have been very angry. He was forced to terminate the cooperation with us."

"This means that he will not help Qinglong either."

Adam breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to reveal his identity as the Bloodfaller. He nodded and said, "You did a good job."

"But..." Costat sighed, "Since Klonoa has withdrawn its protection, the several places we had previously targeted have been destroyed, and we have lost a lot of manpower."

The deep dimensional world has a special structure and is full of dangers. Most of the dimensional worlds are not fixed, but are always wandering.

Moreover, the powerful force of the forbidden lives can penetrate the barriers of the dimensional world, affect the outside world, and cause harm.

Chronoa's aura could have helped them avoid a lot of trouble.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's just gather them together first." Adam frowned.

After ending the communication, I actually felt that the current situation was a bit tricky.

After thinking for a moment, he was shocked that Qinglong had actually reached this level.

He hadn't even moved yet, but just looking in a certain direction had caused him such a difficult trouble.

Once this matter is known by the other pioneers, it will cause even greater trouble.

If Qinglong goes there in person...

"No... we can't let Qinglong set his sights on the Star of Eternal Silence." Adam's face was solemn. It would be best to leave the trouble of Qinglong to the "enemy" to deal with.

"We have to make him keep an eye on Heckler as planned. They have to fight."

As he thought about it, his heart moved slightly and he opened the drawer. A black ring was flashing with light.

The Pioneer Conference was probably convened by Qinglong to announce the matter of Chlonoa.

.........

In the Mechanical Royal Court, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes, was dazed for a moment, and took out the Pioneer Ring from the control column.

The conversation I just had with the navigators went over in my mind.

Knowing that he had solved Chlonoa's problem, they were naturally shocked.

At the same time, he was also very suspicious. After all, the speed was too fast. That was a forbidden life, not a minion. But this matter was easy to verify.

As soon as it is confirmed, the Forger will go and meet the Navigator. As for the Guide, Florian, he will have to wait.

As for the Bleeding One, the old guy's reaction was mediocre.

He pondered, "Hmm... Let the pioneers keep an eye on the Eternal Silence Star. Chronoa has retracted its tentacles. Both sides are at the same starting line. It shouldn't be possible for Adam to suddenly succeed."

This Adam was mysterious and had plans for him.

Li Ming couldn't figure out the specific situation and was always on guard, so naturally he wouldn't let his plan succeed easily.

But he would not easily go to the deep dimensional world.

The old pervert Klonoa would definitely hunt him down once he sensed his presence. If he called on his friends, there was a high possibility of failure.
