This is not mechanical ascension.

Looking through the smart terminal, he found the previously stored [Evolution of Emperor Yanlei], exported the complete version, and held it in his hand.

[Evolution of Emperor Yanlei - Grade A: Records the evolution necessary for Emperor Yanlei.

Control conditions: 4 million metal energy

Control effect: Thunder element blessing - 300%, fire element blessing - 300%

Control ability - Yanlei evolution: mobilize the thunder and fire elements in the body to develop gene seeds in depth. 】

Hmm? It only takes 4 million? Li Ming was quite surprised.

This thing needs 1 million in the B-level stage, which is a top-level B-level control object.

But at the A-level, it only needs 4 million... It is a standard A-level control object.

Well, maybe 5 million, because he has already controlled a part of it.

"That's not right... The subspace folding ring is only 3 million. This thing has no lethality and is purely auxiliary. If it is too high, it will be wrong." Li Ming muttered.

According to Ford, the A-level [Evolution of Emperor Yanlei] can increase the development speed by up to 16 times.

The evolution of the Holy Blade of Judgment is similar. It is not a tacit understanding between the two civilizations.

But after years of continuous adjustment, the cell activity that can be mobilized has reached the limit, and the limit is sixteen times.

If both of these A-level evolutions are controlled, his metal energy will only be nine million, and he will have to leave another four million to control the [Quantum Cluster Cannon].

After that, there will only be five million, which makes him quite hesitant.

However, this thing is equivalent to an investment. All the controlled objects depend on my own strength, so it is not a loss.

Without hesitating for too long, Li Ming made up his mind and controlled both of these A-level evolutions. He also got an additional sixteen-fold development speed blessing, and the overall development speed has reached fifty-eight times.

After a little trial, the activity of the cells is more intense, and the improvement is extremely obvious.

However, A-level evolutions are not easy to find. Can they only be upgraded through the control system...

If all these evolutions are upgraded to A-level, at least thirty million metal energy will be needed.

Li Ming estimated and was secretly shocked. If there is another collector's treasure house, it will be enough.

But to upgrade to A-level, you still need to use alienation energy, which is a bit of a loss. There are still many main and auxiliary control objects that have not been upgraded.

It is always a bit reluctant to consume alienation energy on these things.

He was thinking in his mind, and there was a knock on the door. Cassis came to inform that his goods had been delivered and were placed in the castle warehouse.

"Got it." Li Ming responded and prepared to go to control.

...

Earlier, in the secret interrogation room of the joint fleet, Ford sat on one side, his hands were tightly bound by the gene suppressor and locked on the metal table, looking depressed.

In front of him, Asmara sat on the left, with an indifferent look.

On the right was his father, Prince Baijan, with a gloomy face.

"Not bad..." Asmara looked through the information and praised: "Fifteen days of interrogation, no food or drink, and didn't say a word."

"Your mind is considered to be the top one among the young people in the royal family in the past ten or twenty years."

Ford was silent, and his tired eyes swept over Prince Baijan.

"Do we have to come forward? You are a member of the royal family, and many punishments cannot be used on you." Asmara closed the information, "But do you think we will get nothing like this?"

"Five months ago, you urgently sold your company to the Mozambique Consortium, and contacted several interstellar collectors to buy several pieces of star core fragments from them."

"It was finally sent to Blue Star, probably for Li Ming, what did you trade from him?"

Asmara narrated calmly, "Or what is worth paying such a high price?"

"Who killed the Firework Apostle who died on Blue Star? Have you seen the Great Mechanic Qinglong a long time ago?"

Ford was shocked. Why was Asmara so cruel? He went straight to the core of the problem.

This is to peel off his skin.

"Does the death of Isius have anything to do with you!"

Fuck! Ford couldn't help it. What shit pots were put on his head?

If he is proven to have killed a member of the royal family, his father will not be able to save him.

"You are accusing me without any evidence!" Ford stared at him fiercely, "I did exchange intelligence with Li Ming, but so what!?"

"Accusing me of treason, where is the evidence!? Killing Isius, where is the evidence!?"

"I am the grandson of the Emperor of Itlan - Astaya, the son of the Prince - Baijan, the Earl - Ford, you want to convict me in one sentence? You are not the Queen of Itlan yet!"

The frown of Prince Baijan relaxed a little, yes, his son still has some blood.

Due to the information asymmetry, he was at a disadvantage at the beginning, which made it difficult to fight against Asmara.

But as long as Ford holds on long enough, he can turn it around little by little, but he is afraid that Ford can't stand the pressure.

Being scolded by a junior like Ford, Asmara showed no expression on his face, but said indifferently: "You want evidence, and you will get it soon."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and intelligence officer Arik pushed the door with an ugly face: "Commander..."

Asmara frowned, and Prince Baijan's heart moved slightly, and he immediately said: "Come in, what happened?"

Arik looked hesitant, and Prince Baijan scolded: "What's wrong, is there any intelligence I can't listen to?"

Arik gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and dared not look at Asmara: "The ambush plan failed, Tiago was captured alive. The great mechanic Qinglong was unharmed..."

Fred was slightly stunned, the corners of his mouth slightly pulled apart, and then quickly restrained, slowly exhaled, fortunately, fortunately.

Crack! The metal table in front of Asmara suddenly broke, and he uttered two words expressionlessly: "Waste!"

Prince Baijan looked hesitant, not excited, and glanced at Asmara, "Failure? How could it fail with such full preparation? Did Ulrich and others intervene?"

"No." Arik shook his head and said bitterly: "The strength and combat methods shown by the great mechanic Qinglong far exceeded our expectations. He showed a new combat mecha and an A-level combat mecha to assist."

"His mecha has a strong resistance to EMP bombs and magnetic nano-interference devices, and it seems to be specially targeted."

"In addition, the Bernest civilization requires us to launch a rescue as soon as possible."

Prince Baijan pondered, and then nodded, "We know, there will be instructions later."

Arik nodded, not daring to look at Asmara, and lowered his head to go out.

Prince Baijan couldn't help but sigh, "This great mechanic is really unfathomable."

Asmara looked cold, but Ford snorted: "Maybe someone has already secretly informed the great mechanic. Who can't act?"

"Anyway, I have been under guard and have no chance at all. I think I can investigate the inside."

"Fred!" Prince Baijan scolded, and then looked at Asmara.

At this moment, her smart terminal vibrated slightly, and Asmara's face changed slightly. Only when someone who set a special reminder sent a message, her smart terminal would vibrate.

"Look, isn't it wartime control? Why can someone still contact the outside world?" Ford said loudly.

Asmara opened it and took a look. Her eyes expanded slightly, and that beautiful face seemed to finally have spirit.

She pinched out a virtual screen, and a scene emerged. Ford's voice stopped abruptly, and the excitement froze on his face.

Among them, it was a scene where Li Ming was surrounded by armored soldiers, with a numb expression and seemed very depressed.

Big brother, how could you be caught!

Ford wailed in his heart. He had been holding on for so long, and his father was about to make a move, but Li Ming, the source of all evil, was caught.

What else is there to play?

No need to think, this old guy will definitely tell you about those things. It's not that he doesn't believe Li Ming, but he trusts him too much. The other party will definitely use this to gain benefits and reach an agreement with Asmara.

He even has the urge to self-destruct in advance to see if he can reduce his guilt.

Prince Baijan's heart sank and he glanced at Ford's face.

It was basically certain that the connection between the two was not ordinary, and perhaps they had traded something that could not be brought to the table.

"Although the ambush plan failed, the arrest plan seems to have succeeded." Asmara said lightly, "The evidence you want will be there soon."

"Are you going to wait until the iron evidence is in front of you, or are you going to say it now?"

Ford was no longer as calm as before. His eyes widened slightly, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The feeling of impending disaster made his heart beat.

His emotions were not so easy to get out of control, but the news came too suddenly.

As long as Li Ming was not arrested and there was no evidence, it was basically impossible for Asmara to pin such a serious crime on him with his identity.

But now, it was different.

The excessive tension of emotions made him think of the things he had traded with Li Ming, from the death of the Apostle of Fireworks to the evolution theory and liberation secrets that he was forced to leak.

In front of these things, the video he recorded to join the Torch Organization seemed less important.

How did he get arrested!

Ford was angry. Since Li Ming ran away, he was terrified, fearing that he would fall into someone's hands and reveal his things.

Now, he has fallen into Asmara's hands, and he must be beaten to death.

Prince Baijan's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Fred, did you really leak some confidential information?"

"Take the initiative to confess, maybe you can atone for your crime, but when the evidence is in front of you, it will be too late."

Fred, who was in a confused mood, looked up in astonishment. He knew his father too well. These words were not meant to protect him, but to abandon him.

If it was really just a trade of intelligence, it would not be a big crime. After all, it was a trade, and there were gains and losses. This kind of operation was not uncommon.

But the most important thing was not these, but his father only said these.

The meaning was very clear. If you just traded intelligence or something, I could still protect you. If it was more, then you can only wish for the best.

Fred was confused and felt cold in his heart. He had to do some things in front of Li Ming before, but it did not harm his father's interests.

Now, his father wanted to abandon him just because of a slight change in the situation. Although he could understand it, it really made him feel cold.

Asmara smiled with a hint of sarcasm. She could tell from the boy's reaction that it was not just a trade of intelligence.

Prince Baijan wanted to withdraw now? That was too easy.

Asmara added: "Tell me everything that happened after you came into contact with Li Ming, who instructed you and what you did, and I can allow you to atone for your crime."

Prince Baijan's face was cold. Asmara was clearly hinting that Ford should involve more people. The more people he involved, the greater the loss of merit.

Ford lowered his head and never said a word. The atmosphere in the room was silent. Asmara waved her hand to turn off the surveillance, and the probes at the four corners went out.

"Fude." Prince Baijan said solemnly: "What kind of information did you trade?"

He was also a little reluctant in his heart, but the problem was that he didn't know what Ford had done.

I don’t know if what will be revealed in the final trial will cause huge waves, and I don’t know if Ford is really related to the death of Isius.

This made him dare not make promises and guarantees easily, and Asmara could easily get the handle. This was where he was angry, and he had nowhere to put his efforts.

"Can you give me some time?" Ford lowered his head, his hair blocked his face, and his voice was hoarse.

Asmara frowned and said calmly: "One more thing, the people who arrested Li Ming were people from the Xingyuan Empire, so don't hold out hope."

Seeing that Fred didn't respond, Asmara shook her head, "When Li Ming speaks first, you won't have any chance."

Interrogating Li Ming can have the same effect. The reason Asmara insists on letting Ford speak is because Ford's confession can involve more people.

What Li Ming said would be difficult to threaten someone of the level of Prince Baijiang.

The three of them stopped talking. There was a war between heaven and man in Ford's mind. He was silent for a long time, and finally moved, causing the clatter of chains.

"I..." The voice was dry and trembling, Asmara stared at him closely.

"…There's nothing to say."

Prince Baijan breathed a sigh of relief, and Asmara's eyes were slightly cold, "I don't know whether to live or die, do you think this is a lie?"

Ford smiled bitterly. It wasn't that he was mentally tough, but that no one could protect him from the things he did. If he said it sooner or later, there would be no difference in the outcome.

Asmara said it was safe, but who knows if that is true.

He was also disheartened by the abandonment reflected in his father's words.

As for whether this matter was true or not, he really didn't doubt it. Li Ming was only a C-class life form at most. When his teacher was implicated, he had no room for resistance.

Asmara's eyes were cold, and she stood up and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, her smart terminal vibrated again.

He looked down, glanced at Ford again, decided to give him the final blow, and immediately chose to answer.

The virtual screen popped up, and Gabriel looked solemn. Before Asmara could speak, he said directly: "There is a problem on my side. That Li Ming is just a bait, some kind of phantom state. The great mechanic Qinglong has already discovered me. ”

"I have now left the land of stars. Give me the coordinates and I will meet you first."

The gloomy-looking Ford suddenly raised his head, his eyes bursting with dazzling light, and a huge excitement surged in his heart. He was wrapped in a sense of joy for the rest of his life, and then he held back tightly and slowly exhaled.

Prince Baijan was stunned for a moment, his eyes became more and more profound as he glanced over Ford. He was not excited, but deep in thought.

In the room, wisps of storm gathered, and the metal wall panels clanked.
