Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 252 I have become the invincible king, but I still need to mine?
The territory of the mechanical race is different from that of the human race. Although it is still mainly outer space, supplemented by stars and planets, there are also mechanical celestial bodies visible to the naked eye everywhere.

Liu Mang, who came to the mechanical clan through the collapse of a wormhole, saw an extremely huge star shrouded in a mechanical structure in front of him as soon as he opened his eyes.

The star's light is completely blocked by the mesh mechanical structure that wraps it completely. Only a faint light shines through, which is completely unable to bring a trace of warmth to the dark and cold universe.

Is this the Dyson sphere of the mechanical family? It feels like that!

Instead, the light glowed from the mechanical planet nearby.

Countless bright lines were running across the mechanical planet, transmitting enough energy to instantly blow up the continent. The pipes glowed and heated up under the stimulation of the energy and were clearly visible in the universe.

In Liu Mang's eyes, the mechanical planet constantly emits a huge amount of electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eye. An extremely large amount of information exchange is ongoing. Compared with stars, the planet in front of him is even more shining in the universe.

Suddenly, the mechanical planet discovered Liu Mang during the scan. His unique mechanical characteristics did not cause too much vigilance, but it was far from no vigilance.

"Stranger, YL657Y10014X05712BL0714 Fortress has not received your entry application. Please explain your purpose. Otherwise, the Fortress will temporarily detain you until it is confirmed that you are not a threat."

An electromagnetic message reached Liu Mang through the public frequency band. He thought about it for a while and decided to mix the truth with some fabricated information.

"I am a mechanical person created in the human territory. After wandering in the human territory for countless years, I finally evolved to my current state. I miss my hometown so much that I try to find a way home by causing a wormhole to collapse."

"After more than ten years of adventure, hundreds of times I was trapped in the territories of the other five peak tribes, and fled for hundreds of millions of light years. Finally, I returned to the Mechanical Tribe!"

"I am the incarnation of the sun, the eternal destroyer. I will transcend reincarnation and lead the mechanical race to rule the universe. My name will resound throughout the heavens. I am the Sun King!"

"Open the fortress. I will take over the YL657Y10014X05712BL0714 fortress and lead you forward. Accepting me means accepting the future!"

The fortress fell silent, and a beam of detection light shot out, scanning it repeatedly.

Finally, the fortress came to the conclusion that the one outside was a mechanical king, and a king who had evolved to the extreme stage. His status far exceeded that of their fortress, and they had no authority to refuse.

hum~
A huge mechanical fortress like a planet was split in the middle, and hundreds of thousands of standard pyramid spaceships of various levels extended in two groups, like a red carpet spread on the ground.

Countless mechanical puppets were lined up on both sides, welcoming the mechanical king who had come from afar. In front of the welcoming team that was hundreds of thousands of kilometers long were 99 immortal-level mechanical clans.

Among them, nine mechanical tribesmen with obviously stronger power stepped forward, bowed and saluted Liu Mang, saying: "Welcome the great Sun Wheel King to the YL9Y657X10014BL05712 Fortress. We will report the information to the tribe. Once the tribe confirms it, you will become the first owner of this fortress since its establishment, and also the first king of this fortress."

"Please follow us into the fortress and take a rest. It won't take long for the tribe to confirm the fortress. Once the tribe grants you the authority of the fortress, you will be the true master of the fortress."

Mechanical Liu Mang nodded, walked to the front and led the team to fly towards the fortress.

"Please introduce your identities." Liu Mang's tone was cold and hard, but others didn't mind because everyone did the same.

The nine people who spoke first introduced themselves one after another. They were the nine commanders of the fortress, all of them were mechanical people of the marquis level. They each had ten legions under their command, and each legion had a legion commander, who were the 90 immortal-level mechanical people behind them.

There is no further introduction. Among the mechanical clan, those who have not achieved immortality by using the Heart of Evolution are all considered private property of the immortal level. They are responsible for controlling the war machines in the legion and cannot act as individual mechanical clan members.

The so-called 90 great legions are actually 90 private legions of mechanical immortals. The nine commanders can assign tasks to them, but they cannot take the legions as their own and dispatch them at will. All orders can only be given to the legion commander.

The subordinates of subordinates are not my subordinates. This hierarchy has been thoroughly implemented among the mechanical race. Only the Lord of the Universe is qualified to command everyone.

"That is to say, even if I become the master of the fortress, the ones I can command are only nine of you?" Liu Mang's gaze fell on them like a searchlight, but it did not arouse any panic.

The mechanical race cannot sense the pressure of will. In their eyes, Liu Mang's eyes are just searchlights and have no substantive meaning.

Although they knew that Liu Mang was exerting pressure on them, they just couldn't feel it, and they had no intention of pretending to be fearful and trepidatious to please their leader.

Although the mechanical race has a high IQ, they are generally straightforward. It's not that they don't know how to deceive, they just don't like to use it.

Efficient information exchange and production links leave no room for deception, and such a habit has been formed over time.

"Commanding us is equivalent to commanding everyone. Your Majesty, the Sun King, there is no need to worry. The mechanical race has always been united." A commander said without hesitation.

Liu Mang clicked his tongue and said, "Okay, I'm not here to engage in a power struggle anyway."

In less than two days, a cosmic master from the upper echelons of the mechanical race came specifically to check if there was any problem with Liu Mang.

After a series of tests, it was confirmed that Liu Mang showed no signs of recognizing his master. The Mechanical Master nodded with satisfaction and granted Liu Mang the authority that had been prepared long ago.

"King Sun, I am the Venerable Qianji. There is no problem with your identity. The authority of the Lord of the Fortress has been granted to you. I hope you will abide by the rules of my mechanical race, serve the race wholeheartedly, and work hard for Father God."

"You are an outsider and your knowledge of our mechanical race is limited. I have sent you a basic introduction to the mechanical race. You can read and study it on your own."

"Your access to the virtual world has been unlocked. You can research other information on your own. If you have any questions, you can contact me and I will answer them in detail."

After saying that, Venerable Qianji patted Liu Mang's shoulder and disappeared instantly.

Liu Mang sighed, they are worthy of being the mechanical race, even the Venerable is so kind and friendly to the people below, the mechanical race is worthy of being known in the universe for its unity.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Venerable Qianji's attitude was an isolated case. The exploitation of the lower class by the upper class of the mechanical race was actually quite serious. Although it was far less than that of the human race, the demon race, and the insect race, they were not a friendly race either.

The reason why Venerable Qianji had such a good attitude was purely because of his title as King Sun Wheel.

Venerable Qianji is just an ordinary Venerable, whose strength is only slightly stronger than that of the Invincible King. Facing the Sun Wheel King, who is recognized by the five clans as the invincible among the Invincible Kings, he has no right to put on airs.

Although Venerable Qianji discovered when he came that the Sun Wheel King only had 10 times the power of a Realm Lord, this is even more terrifying.

It takes 100 million times the power of a Realm Lord for others to be crowned as an invincible king, but 10 times is enough for him. This shows that his level of comprehension of the laws is higher. Who knows, he may become a Venerable one day. Venerable Qianji is only at this level.

Let me add here that, theoretically, an Immortal does not need to reach the level of invincibility to become a King in order to break through to the level of a Venerable. The limit of becoming a King is 10 times the power of a Realm Lord.

The limit of being crowned as a king. The word "limit" here is not chosen randomly, but the normal immortal has 10 times the power of a realm master, which is the limit. Being crowned as an invincible king is an alternative that exceeds the limit. Just like the invincible war god at the apprentice level, the opportunity involved cannot be repeated.

Either the amplitude secret technique and the divine power burning secret technique are amazing, or the gene multiples are high, or the person possesses a precious treasure, or the will and consciousness reaches the level of a cosmic master, or the secret technique is extremely high. In short, it is very difficult and cannot be copied.

There is only one criterion for judging whether one is invincible as a king, and that is to have an output strength of at least 100 million times the power of a realm master. Regardless of whether it is achieved through the basics, amplitude, or secret enhancement, one is invincible as a king.

This also led to some invincible kings with high basic skills and strong secret techniques being able to kill the Venerables, because the product of the two was greater than that of the Venerable. One move could produce hundreds of millions of times the power of the Realm Lord, which ordinary Universe Venerables could not match.

Venerable Qianji was not sure whether Liu Mang was that kind of person who could defy the heavens, but no matter whether he was or not, he did not intend to try. After all, he was already one of his own, so there was no problem in making friends with him.

"So, what are we going to do next?" After seeing off the Thousand Machines Venerable, Liu Mang turned around and asked the nine commanders, "What was this fortress used for before? What is my job?"

A commander stepped forward and said, "King Sun, the YL657Y10014X05712BL0714 Fortress is an industrial fortress used to collect, store and transport F-grade metals. Your job is to guard this fortress and prevent tribesmen who cannot afford F-grade metals from forcibly snatching it."

"Of course, if possible, please do not kill the tribesmen who come to rob metal. It is not easy for us mechanical tribes to survive. The allocation of resources to defend the territory has indeed harmed the interests of some tribesmen. We can oppose them, but please also understand them. The interests of individuals and tribes cannot always be completely equal."

"Ah?" Liu Mang was confused. Collecting F-grade metal? Isn't this right in my specialty?
No, these are all trivial matters. The important thing is another thing.

"You said this is a fortress for collecting F-grade metals, not G-grade ones?" Liu Mang asked.

The commander shook his head directly: "The collection of G-level metal is the responsibility of the higher-level fortress."

Only higher-level fortresses can collect G-level metals. Am I being too low?

A certain commander nodded affirmatively: "Thank you, King Sun, for taking a liking to our fortress. You should have been the lord of the fortress in the highest-level fortress, and you even have kings following you. We are honored that you are willing to become our direct superior!"

Oh my god! I was wondering why the so-called review was so simple. The Venerable Qianji confirmed it with just one glance. I am the one who condescended to you. What else is there to check?

"Then what about my salary and benefits?" All the entry procedures have been completed, so Liu Mang can only accept it for now. The next step is to find out what his income and benefits will be.

The commanders looked at each other and shook their heads, saying they didn't know.

"Why don't you take a look at the message that the Venerable sent you, maybe it's in there?"

This fortress has never had a fortress lord since its establishment, so the commanders naturally do not know the income and treatment of the fortress lord.

Moreover, even if you know, you have to understand that His Majesty the Sun King will not come according to the stipulated salary and benefits. He is starting from a low position, so you must get a higher salary.

After searching all together, I finally found something related, which happened to be the attachment of the message for granting permissions.

It was mentioned above that the Mechanical Clan also uses the market to allocate resources and has its own monetary system.

The highest-level currency unit is the Yulan unit. 2 Yulan is equivalent to 1 Hunyuan. This is a reference conversion unit specifically given to King Rilun because he knew that he had lived in the human territory before. The purchasing power is clear at a glance.

As the lord of the fortress, he is different from the commanders and legion leaders in that he does not receive a salary. Instead, he takes 50% of the fortress's output as his own income, and the rest of the income depends on himself.

There is no doubt that even if 50% of the fortress's income belongs to him, it is actually not much, which is not commensurate with his status as the invincible king.

The net worth of the invincible king is at least one trillion Hunyuan. Although most of them are treasures that cannot be sold and there is not much liquid capital, his net worth is his net worth.

How much does the fortress produce? Less than a thousand Primordial Elements a year, far less than his Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

Obviously, the mechanical clan does not keep idle people. If you want money or treasures, you still have to get them yourself.

Liu Mang, who had just arrived, had no money at all and urgently needed a large sum of money to arm himself. At the very least, he had to buy a G9-class battleship as a daily means of attack and defense, otherwise he would be exposed as soon as he made a move.

Liu Mang logged into the virtual world and inquired, and learned that the Yulan TX series he had obtained before was priced at 2 trillion Yulan units, which is equivalent to 1 trillion Hunyuan units, and it must be pre-ordered.

Damn, this is too expensive, it’s only one-tenth of the theoretical value of a treasure point!

The human race's G9-class spaceship is worth less than 9 billion Hunyuan. Your G-class spaceship, even if it is a little more advanced, should not be so expensive!

It's not like he hasn't researched the Yulan TX31 spacecraft before, so why is it that Feng Wang Wudi can't afford it even if he uses up all his liquid funds?
After careful study, I found that I seemed to be wrong.

The TX31 of the Eternal King is an antique from who knows how long ago, and its performance is far inferior to that of today's TX series.

Most basically, the offensive and defensive strengths have been greatly increased, reaching the ultimate level for becoming a king, which is helpful for the invincible battle of becoming a king. The ultimate speed has also been greatly improved, reaching 350 times the speed of light.

All other functions have been improved to varying degrees. All in all, it can barely be considered a one-tenth precious treasure.

1 trillion Hunyuan, how to make money?
The average price of one ton of F-grade metal in the known universe is about 3000 million cosmic coins, which is 0.00003 Hunyuan. How many tons of F-grade metal does he need to make enough money?

3.3333 trillion tons!
Assuming that an F-class mineral vein weighs 100 trillion tons, he would have to dig out 333 mineral veins.

Plus, he could only take half of the revenue, so he would have to dig 666 veins.

Damn, dig some shit!
He is not here to contribute to the mechanical race!
If you want to dig, you can only dig G-grade metal.

The value of G-grade metal is more than 0.3 times that of F-grade metal. One ton is about 6 Hunyuan. About trillion tons is enough to save enough money, and even a vein of minerals cannot be fully mined.

Moreover, a TX series spacecraft requires 9 trillion tons of G2-grade metal. Even if 6 trillion tons of metal are dug out, it will not enhance the strength of the mechanical race much.

"Can we only mine F-grade metals? Are G-grade ones not allowed?" Liu Mang asked immediately after making the decision.

The commanders looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them hesitated and said, "There is no rule prohibiting collection, but this base does not have the technology to collect G-level metals. You can't collect them unless you are willing to do it yourself."

There is no way for a Marquis to destroy G-grade metal, and even a King at the primary level doesn't have that strength. If anyone wants to collect it, the invincible Sun King can only do it himself.

Liu Mang smiled knowingly and said, “I just want to do it myself!”
All he needs is a large G-class metal mine, and he will be able to achieve financial freedom in the mechanical clan. At that time, what can he not afford except those that he does not have the authority to buy?

"Do you have any information about wild G-grade metal mines? Or any detection methods?"

The commanders hesitated, not quite sure what to say.

Liu Mang was overjoyed. His attitude told it all. It actually really existed!

As expected of a mechanical clan member who started out working with metal, he’ll gain something just by asking!
