This is not mechanical ascension.

"Why is there such a big commotion?"

In the room, Li Ming looked at the virtual screen. The announcement of the list of ten people pushed the matter to another climax.

These names may not appear in the news for many years. Even ordinary life forms in many civilizations may not know in their lifetime that life forms can evolve to this level.

The panic spread more and more. The confrontation between the empire and other civilizations seemed to continue, and no agreement was reached.

"The Lord of the Black Hole Hall--" Li Ming was also looking through the list of names, secretly shocked: "There are so many strong people."

Before the announcement, he didn't know who the other members were. Among these people, except Anduin, he had never met anyone else.

"That is to say, in the eyes of the empire, Anduin is the strongest in the chaotic star gap." He pondered, not knowing what the judgment standard was.

The impact of the announcement of the list of ten people is still continuing. These "strongest" will naturally be scrutinized and questioned from all aspects.

Not long after, more information was leaked. In fact, a group of people received invitations but refused, not wanting to be involved in such a storm.

In the chaotic interstellar gap, on a certain planet.

Boom!

The boiling breath on Barbaro's body suddenly rushed forward like surging volcanic magma, and the hot energy spread instantly, tearing the atmosphere at an astonishing speed. The hot energy flow shuttled through it like lightning, leaving a trail of brilliant light.

The ground shook violently and cracked inch by inch.

"Qinglong-" Barbaro stared at the special virtual screen in front of him. The surface of the screen had already appeared cracks, reflecting his ferocious expression, "Anduin is among them, but I am not worthy?"

Ten days after the list of ten people was announced, various news flew all over the sky, causing turmoil within the higher life forms. Many life forms were scrutinizing these "strongest" ten people.

At the same time, the Interstellar Alliance urgently convened a civilization conference, and after another three days, the initial resolution was finally announced.

[Now solicit opinions from the interstellar world on the management scope and details of the higher life form joint organization to better maintain the integrity of the interstellar. 】

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the matter of the higher life form joint organization has been paused. It has not been cancelled, but it has not been announced.

As for how long it will take to conquer, no one knows.

And Li Ming also received a notice from the staff of the Interstellar Alliance that the first regular meeting will be postponed temporarily, and the specific time will be notified later.

"It seems that even if you want to throw the Mechanic Association out, it is not that simple." Li Ming pondered, estimating that these civilizations should still be in the game.

Some civilizations may have a big appetite, and the Empire is also weighing the pros and cons. The withdrawal has not been completely completed, and it will take a lot of time. These are all things.

It is still unknown when the result will come out, but the news that deliberately exaggerates the horror of higher life forms has gradually disappeared.

At the same time, the Mechanical King Court also connected to various channels of the Mechanic Association, with green lights all the way, and a large number of orders floated to the Mechanical King Court like snowflakes, and there were short-term interest-free loans.

And under the control of Ulrich, it began to expand and grow day by day.

In this way, more than half a year has passed leisurely.

The Mechanical Royal Court, after the room was expanded again, was filled with all kinds of instruments. In the frozen storage cabin in the corner, a large amount of development medicine was stored. The display screen on the cabin showed information such as temperature and storage status to ensure the safe storage of medicine.

Li Ming's body surface was surging with light mist-like energy fluctuations, black energy particles went in and out between his mouth and nose, and the surrounding virtual screens kept refreshing all kinds of news.

"Huh-" Li Ming took a long breath and looked at the real-time display of development progress next to him--4%-

This number made him sigh at the corner of his mouth, but he had been used to it for a while.

"Now I can probably feel what Robin feels like. This kind of boredom is really not something that ordinary people can endure.

I can do two things at the same time," Li Ming muttered in his heart, and then sighed: "X-level life forms are not easy to deal with.'

It is not difficult to improve the development rate. Just use the A-level gene source to improve the development source grade.

However, any X-level life form is a regional giant and cannot be underestimated. The relationship between each other is even more complicated.

Without some connections, it is basically impossible to become a A-level life form, and he cannot crush the X-level life forms that have been famous for many years, not to mention those who have already embarked on the ultimate road.

And the newly born A-level life forms almost only exist in the three major civilizations, and there has been no wild X-level life forms for a long time.

It is very difficult to obtain gene source, and his current development sequence has an A-level development source, which is a new control column unlocked, and he has not found a suitable S-level source for upgrading.

"Master. "

The voice of Suzaku suddenly sounded, and the little red bird landed on his shoulder, and said in a light voice: "Master, the latest batch of "Pulse Titanium" has arrived." "

"Oh." Li Ming's heart was slightly shaken, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands. He felt a little expectant in his heart, and immediately got up and went to the warehouse.

The corridor of the base has also expanded several times. There are not many people here, and the people coming and going are mainly mechanical bodies.

All the way to the warehouse in the core base, this is a special warehouse dedicated to him, where metal materials purchased regularly are stored.

After verification, the silver-gray metal alloy was neatly arranged and filled the wall.

Pulse titanium, this alloy is hard and light, and its unique lattice network structure makes it have excellent compression and tensile properties. It comes from a material company under the creator god.

He was given a 40% discount, which is almost the factory price. It only costs 600 million star coins per ton. There are 40 tons of warehouse doors closed here. Li Ming gradually absorbed the metal energy in it. It took him more than half a day to absorb it.

"320 million metal energy" Li Ming nodded, which was about the same as his estimate. He exhaled: "You can upgrade the tank guard."

In the control system, his metal energy has reached 1.2 billion.

This is his accumulation for more than half a year. The expansion of the mechanical royal court is still in a period of rapid growth. A considerable part of the profit has been invested in the expansion. There are also mechanical bodies manufactured regularly, and a lot of accounts have been returned.

He also needs to buy the development medicine he needs. There are many places to spend money. He can squeeze out nearly 100 billion star coins without affecting his own operation. It is already very good.

He had been waiting for the upgrade of the Tank Guard for a long time. He had accumulated enough metal energy and did not hesitate any longer. He immediately took out the Tank Guard, consumed one World Blood, and added one billion metal energy.

The Tank Guard suddenly changed dramatically. The blood-colored energy engulfed it like a tide and spread wildly on various mechanical structures, like a blood-colored spider web. Strange textures and patterns appeared on the hard metal surface, as if it was alive and wriggling.

The connection between the parts became tighter, as if they were integrated into one, and the overall structure became stronger and more complex, burly and gorgeous.

The appearance change was somewhat different from the previous one that was enlightened by [Super Divine Energy]. It became more luxurious and had some blood-colored patterns.

[Tank Guard--X-level: cutting-edge combat mecha, focusing on the defense level.

Features--Stone Skin: Gain 40% damage reduction.

Features--Thorns: Any form of attack will rebound 40% to the sender itself.

Characteristics - Inert force field: All offensive energy within a range of 10,000 meters will be attenuated by 40%]

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, and both characteristics were strengthened, with each increasing by 10%.

He had already experienced the new ability, which was quite good, suppressing the enemy's strength in disguise.

The upgrade of the tank guard had a significant impact on him.

Not counting the characteristics, the strength itself was basically enough to defend against attacks of about 100X energy level. With the characteristics, it is estimated that the comprehensive performance can be doubled.

Therefore, the power he can burst out is also more. After carefully appreciating the formation, Li Ming reluctantly put away the tank guard.

When the warehouse door opened, Ulrich was already waiting outside.

Seeing him, Li Ming suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, another month has passed."

"Yes." Ulrich nodded slightly, "The mechanical bodies have been stored in the warehouse."

"Then let's go." Li Ming nodded and walked straight ahead. Ulrich lagged behind half a step and whispered:

"Sir, the Royal Court has been established for three years. This year, the number of our external employees has increased a lot. For long-term development, I plan to organize an annual celebration to enhance cohesion. I wonder if you can attend?"

Li Ming was slightly pleased, "The Mechanical Royal Court has been established for three years?"

"Yes." Ulrich nodded.

Li Ming paused, a little emotional, "Time flies so fast, then count me in."

"Then they should be very happy." Ulrich smiled.

"The salary is in place, whether I attend or not, they will be happy." Li Ming joked.

Buzz---The gate of the base opened, and a huge energy shield was covering the sky and running all the time.

Compared to more than half a year ago, the scale of the Royal Court has expanded again. There are no assembly line factories on the native planet. Basically, there are core laboratories and various warehouses.

Even greening has been restored, and various atmospheric environment regulators have been used to make the entire planet green. Many external employees have even brought their families over.

This is the encouragement policy of the Royal Court. It bears the living costs of the family and is also to avoid spies from external forces.

The assembly line factory has expanded to outer space. Looking around, you can clearly see the huge metal fortresses. The entire twilight star is wrapped in energy metal plates, squeezing out the remaining energy.

Li Ming raised his feet slightly, and energy ripples appeared around him. With a bang, a violent storm rose, breaking the sound barrier,

leaving a white air wave.

Ulrich followed closely behind. The warehouse was far away from the core base, but Li Ming arrived quickly at his current speed.

The square metal warehouse was extremely huge, and it was very clear even when observed from space. It was made of high-strength alloy.

The mechanical patrol teams around kept coming and going. Entering from the gate, densely packed mechanical bodies were arranged in front of us.

The royal court can now build 200,000 D-level mechanical bodies and 10,000 C-level mechanical bodies every month.

Li Ming always had an extraordinary expectation for the transformation of mechanical bodies.

"I hope there will be more high-level mechanical bodies that mutate this time-" Li Ming stretched out his hand, blew in his mouth, and then stretched his arm. The golden arc suddenly shot in, spreading like a storm to the entire machine array.

White arc groups and blue arc groups kept exploding, and the mechanical bodies in them evolved and reorganized.

Suddenly, the purple arc group came forward, and Li Ming was relieved, "Fortunately, my face is not so dark this time."

The probability of a C-level mechanical body mutating into an A-level mechanical body is one in ten thousand. Logically speaking, there should be one in ten thousand.

But he didn't have a guaranteed mechanism, and there was a situation where there were 10,000 C-class mechanical bodies, but not a single A-class mechanical body mutated.

Boom! Li Pa La!

Suddenly, there was another purple arc, and Li Ming's eyes lit up, "I'm so lucky this time, there are actually two?"

The mutation ended quickly, and Li Ming made a rough calculation. This time, a total of two A-class mechanical bodies and forty-four B-class mechanical bodies mutated.

This ratio is generally considered to be relatively good.

At present, the entire Mechanical King's Court has six A-class mechanical bodies, more than three hundred B-class mechanical bodies, fifty-four thousand C-class mechanical bodies, and more than three million D-class mechanical bodies.

And more than square warships of various types, compared to more than half a year ago, the scale has increased by more than five or six times, and the armed strength alone is comparable to that of a high-level civilization.

Now it has even begun to undertake some small war employment.

However, compared to the two god craftsmen, it is probably just a fraction of theirs.

"I don't know what these machines can achieve when combined." Li Ming estimated that he had been thinking about the [Holy Spirit Core] in his hand.

However, because the number of machines under his command was too small, even if they were combined, they might not be as powerful as himself.

It would be better to upgrade two mechanical guards with 2 billion metal energies. He would not consider controlling them in the short term.

He left these machines to Ulrich and left. More than half a year had passed, and the turmoil caused by the Higher Life Forms United Organization had basically subsided.

It is still in a suspended state and has not been fully implemented.

On the one hand, it is because the Empire is deliberately delaying time to deal with the aftermath of Ryan. Until now, the garrison in the Sea of ​​Stars has not been completely withdrawn, and there are still about 10% left.

During this period, Li Ming had exchanged information with Abel many times, and learned that the confrontation within the Empire was quite fierce. Those garrisons that were withdrawn were basically all dispersed. Now the Senate is like being cut by a blunt knife, and the right to speak is not as good as before.

"It should be landing soon."

On the way, Li Ming was thinking. Mikhail had contacted him many times to discuss countermeasures.

The butcher knife against the Mechanic Association is about to fall, he sighed secretly, and continued to go back to polish the development progress.

Three days later, it was the annual celebration of the Mechanical King's Court. The Royal Court was decorated with lights and adopted the celebration style of Blue Star.

No one knew where Qinglong came from, but they only knew that Li Ming came from this civilization, so he naturally chose a similar celebration style.

The star ports and fortresses in space all looked festive, and the basic operation work was basically done by the mechanical bodies, which did not affect it.

In a base hall on the main star of the Royal Court, there were tables and chairs, and all kinds of life forms were sitting there. It was noisy, but also very lively.

The mechanical bodies responsible for service kept shuttling back and forth, putting all kinds of food on the table, and listening to various requests.

The Mechanical King's Court was different from most of the forces in the Chaos Star Gap. This scene usually only appeared in the Order Civilization.

But the royal court basically only recruits business talents with management skills, and does not have life forms that are brave enough to fight wolves. Coupled with Ulrich's management strategy, they get along quite well with each other.
