Chapter 180 Infinite Implosion
Although the nuclear explosion mayfly sounds very powerful, it is only advanced, and there is still room for a level of improvement. Since I still have ample metal crystals, then I will simply be willful once and directly kill the dead sandworm and the machine. It's good to upgrade the beast to the ultimate.

After the two hundred metal crystals were consumed, the mechanical beast and the death sandworm were successfully promoted to the ultimate level, and the prompt sounded in the mind again.

"Since the mechanical beast is upgraded to the ultimate, its body length has increased to 1000 meters, and the nuclear explosion mayfly has been upgraded to an implosion mayfly. The number has increased by [-] million, and the ultimate ability has been activated to infinitely implode."

"Because the mechanical death sandworm has been upgraded to the ultimate level, its body length has increased to 1000 meters, its death devouring ability has evolved to the ultimate level, and the ultimate ability devouring differentiation has been activated."

Hearing these two prompts, especially the ultimate ability at the back, Yang Ming snapped his fingers excitedly. This is what he wants. These two names are awesome.

However, Yang Ming was a little curious about what this implosion mayfly was. It was even more powerful than the nuclear explosion mayfly. It appeared on the ultimate mechanical beast, and the ultimate ability seemed to be related to this implosion mayfly.

Yang Ming focused his attention on the implosion mayfly but did not get any more detailed hints. If he wanted to know what was going on with the implosion mayfly, he had to wait until the Zac tribe came and tried it on them.

There is also the phagocytosis and differentiation of the dead sandworm, which seems to be the ability of the split type, and this can only be tested at that time.

In less than 1 minute of effort, 222 metal crystals were gone. Yang Ming felt a little cold sweat for a moment. Damn, when he had a few hundred metal ability points, he always felt that it was not enough. , Later, I felt that it was not enough to have a few million metal ability points. Now I have tens of billions, but it is still not enough.

Yang Ming rubbed his swollen head. Now that the mechanical beast and the death sandworm have been promoted to the ultimate level, the 24-hour production time is really uncomfortable. I don’t know if there is any way to reduce the production time. options.

The status bar of the base is more complicated than that of Metal Heart. Yang Ming looked for it and found the option of quick manufacturing in the sub-menu Mechanical Life in the Technology column.

Rapid Manufacturing (Mechanical Life): Upgrading the level of Rapid Manufacturing can speed up the construction time of Mechanical Life. The current level is level 0. Each level up will shorten the construction time by 24% on the basis of the first 10 hours. Level 50 Rapid Manufacturing can Instantly create any mechanical life, each level up needs to consume [-] metal crystals.

Yang Ming did the math after reading it. It would take 500 metal crystals to quickly upgrade this mechanical life to level ten. He can afford it now, so why not just upgrade it to level ten once and for all.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming raised the quick manufacturing option of mechanical life by one level, and a prompt sounded in his mind.

"The current level of rapid manufacturing (mechanical life) is level one, and the current construction time of the mechanical life is 21.6 hours."

In this way, each upgrade can shorten the manufacturing time by 2.4 hours. Don't underestimate these two hours. Every additional mechanical beast or death sandworm built may become a key factor in turning the tide of the battle.

Yang Ming did not hesitate to upgrade the rapid manufacturing to the second level, and the construction time was shortened to 19.2 hours. This saved more than 4 hours at once, and the effect is still obvious.

Yang Ming continued to upgrade and upgraded it to level three, shortening the construction time to 16.8 hours, but when Yang Ming wanted to upgrade to level four, a prompt sound suddenly came from his mind.

"It cannot be upgraded, and an intermediate base is required."

Hearing the notification sound, Yang Ming's face showed such an expression, he knew that he would not let himself upgrade safely, and another intermediate base popped up.

How should this elementary base be upgraded to an intermediate base? There seems to be no explanation in the status bar of the Heart of Metal. Yang Ming thought for a while and tried to shout: "Upgrade the base to an intermediate level."

"The number of primary bases is less than one thousand and cannot be upgraded."

Yang Ming was a little confused when he heard this. Only a thousand primary bases can be upgraded to an intermediate level, which means that he has to build bases on at least a thousand planets.

After thinking about it, Yang Ming's head is getting bigger, and this is only the upgrade from the primary base to the intermediate base. Who knows how many planets need to build bases on the upgrade to the advanced and ultimate bases? Are you invading other planets?

Yang Ming wondered if he would become the public enemy of the entire galaxy after he fulfilled the conditions for upgrading the base, just like the Zac Zerg?

Yang Ming's body shuddered when he thought of this, but even if he became a public enemy, Yang Ming had no choice but to do that, because Yang Ming had already seen that the base was the key to the development in the later stage.

Since he couldn't upgrade Yang Ming, he had no choice but to give up. After possessing the third level of rapid manufacturing (mechanical life), the time consumed for building a giant mechanical life was reduced by 7.2 hours, which has already saved Yang Ming a lot of time. .

Since this mechanical life can be manufactured quickly, I don't know if the mechanically powered mecha can be used. Yang Ming found the mechanically powered mecha column of the technology options in the base, and sure enough, he also found an option for rapid manufacturing (mechanically powered mecha). It is level ten, but it may be because the mechanical power mech is much smaller than the mechanical life form, and each level of improvement only needs ten metal crystals.

After Yang Ming upgraded the rapid manufacturing (mechanical power armor) to the third level, the original 12-hour manufacturing time was shortened to 8.4 hours. In this way, a base can build almost 3 of each type in a day, which is more than before. Produce one.

Now I have a total of four bases, namely the main base on Earth, and three sub-bases on the Moon, Venus, and Mercury. The four bases can manufacture 13 of each of the three types of mechs for Yang Ming every day.

Although the production time has been accelerated, Yang Ming still feels that there are too few. More than a dozen mechanically powered mechs a day can't solve the problem at all.

The main reason is that the number of my own bases is too small. If I have a hundred bases, then the mechanical power mechas that can be built in a day are close to a thousand. If I have a thousand bases, then the mechanical power mechas I can build in a day There are [-] mechs. The more bases you have, the faster you can dispatch troops, which is somewhat similar to those development games.

It seems that after the Canglong comes back, it is still necessary for me to go to the other planets in the solar system that have not yet been visited before the Zak clan arrives.
