Chapter 332: The Infinite Heavy Hammer of the Master Hammer
Blackbeard... Ever since they parted ways in the Red River Xingliu, he and the other party have never met each other again. They only occasionally communicate on the Internet and exchange some information. .
As for the organization behind the other party, and even the core plan, I have never heard the other party mention it again.
Thinking in his heart, his body shape was changing at the same time, and he soon became a blue dragon, making communication connections.
There was a response soon. The virtual screen opened in front of his eyes. Blackbeard was still rubbing his beard while smiling at the same time.
"I didn't expect that your Excellency would still remember me." Li Ming said lightly to express his dissatisfaction. The last time we met, he spoke of splitting the Xingyuan Empire.
After the result, there was silence, and there was no mention of introducing him to other people, and he was not even allowed to join the group chat.
"Your Excellency Qinglong, what does this mean?" Blackbeard looked surprised.
Li Ming said lightly: "Do I have to go through any tests before I can be accepted?"
Blackbeard coughed dryly, "I misunderstood, our organization is already loose, this is also To retain more power when discovered.”
"Really? I've been waiting for your big plan." Li Ming was noncommittal.
"How can plans be so fast..." Blackbeard shook his head and explained: "Personnel transfer, layout, and various plans. The last time we were in Red River Xingliu, it has aroused the vigilance of many people. Your Excellency, please be patient. Ah."
Li Ming was expressionless. Of course he knew this. Every previous plan had been planned for several years.
The incident of the Red River Star Stream has only come to an end after the war between the two sides. The next step cannot be taken so soon, but the proper attitude is still necessary.
Blackbeard is helpless. Their organization is really not confident about Qinglong. The main reason is that the origin cannot be found at all. There are not many places where a mechanic of this level can be hidden.
"Actually, I also have difficulties..." Blackbeard said helplessly, with a wry smile: "Your Excellency's visit is unpredictable, and some friends are really uneasy. If you can reveal a little bit..."
"I remember that it was Your Excellency who came to invite me to join. "Why don't you trust each other now?" Li Ming asked, "Besides, do you know each other well?"
Blackbeard hesitated and shook his head. : "Forget it, your Excellency is right, some people's nonsense."
After a few words, he got to the point. Blackbeard said solemnly: "Do you know the master hammer forger?"
"Hull?" A sharp light flashed in Li Ming's eyes, "Hell, the hammersmith, was one of the leaders in founding the Machinists Association, but it seems to have disappeared for a long time."
"Yes." Blackbeard nodded, "The hammersmith once went deep into the dimensional world to search for precious materials and tissues, but he never returned, and the infinitely heavy hammer in his hand also disappeared, causing the grief of countless mechanics. "
"Recently, we have learned some clues that his disappearance may be related to the Xingyuan Empire."
"Is that so..." Li Ming rubbed his chin, the hammersmith. His reputation is extraordinary and his reputation among mechanics is high.
Higher than the other two master craftsmen, he has paid a lot to fight for the interests of mechanics.
He was the first person to clearly define the levels of mechanics, which greatly benefited the mechanics.
If it can be confirmed that his disappearance is indeed related to the Star Abyss Empire, the anger of the mechanics group will be enough to weaken them even more.
"Real or false?" Li Ming asked suddenly.
Blackbeard shook his head, "What does it matter if it's true or false?"
"This matter needs someone with enough weight to expose it. We have already contacted two founding star mechanics, as well as your Excellency. "
Li Ming pondered, "There are enough star-level mechanics in the three mechanics associations, but there is no master craftsman platform for such a big thing..."
"The platform for the divine craftsmen is from the top down. But it is possible to work from the bottom up to coerce the divine craftsmen." Blackbeard shook his head, "Our goal is not to make the Mechanics Association completely hostile to the Star Abyss Empire, or even take action. With this, That's enough."
Thousands of rivers merge into the sea, and when one thing accumulates and explodes, it will be the day when the body will be shattered.
"Specific plan..." Li Ming asked.
Blackbeard immediately said: "This matter is divided into three steps..."
"..."
"It's natural. I will take care of your student's business."
Blackbeard ended the communication with a smile, pulled up a piece of information, and looked at it for a long time, "Such a small business... still wants me to take care of it, how can he? What do you want to do? "
Blackbeard couldn't understand. This Li Ming wants to play house. Will Qinglong still play with him?
………
“The hammer forger, the infinitely heavy hammer…” Li Ming looked at the photo on the screen. Hel was a giant, four meters tall, with red skin. , the beard turns white.
The hammer in his hand is purple-black and dotted with stars. If we call it an S-class weapon or a star-casting weapon, it can be called an interstellar treasure.
Then this hammer is a cosmic treasure, which combines destructive power and auxiliary capabilities. It is said that one hammer can change the properties of objects. It is even useful for living things and can change men into women.
It looked ridiculous, but Li Ming knew that this had changed his understanding of the universe and even his own understanding.
Even breaking open space and traveling across galaxies.
Blackbeard's plan is divided into three steps, namely brewing news, attracting attention from the stars, and revealing the truth.
The first two steps do not require their intervention, only the last step requires them to go deep into the dimensional world and discover the "truth."
Of course, there are various details, and Blackbeard doesn't say much.
Plan in advance, you will always encounter various changes during the operation, and you need to constantly adjust and act according to the situation.
Li Ming took the opportunity to ask the other party to take care of student Li Ming's business.
During this period, the news has spread, and Qinglong has planted a flag in the chaotic star gap.
Although it appears that the owner of the base is Li Ming, no one cares about this little guy.
In particular, the arms dealers are facing a formidable enemy. Star-level mechanics have a reputation and prestige in related areas that cannot be compared with ordinary people.
Although compared to their business, the turnover of this so-called mechanical royal court is nothing.
They even said that if it were started by another force, they wouldn't even care, even if the scale was larger, it wouldn't matter.
But this is a star-casting mechanic. Once he decides to intervene, the share he wants will definitely not be even a tiny bit. How can he not make people prepare for it?
This is not to look down on Qinglong, but rather to be too serious.
All technological and mechanical creations belong to the exclusive area of mechanics. Behind those large arms dealers, there are many star-level mechanics.
It is indeed not easy to make a breakthrough.
With various thoughts passing through his mind, Li Ming glanced at the time and left the special training room. As soon as he left the door, the mimicked Suzaku landed on his shoulder.
"Is the warehouse ready?" he asked.
"It's ready. Ten thousand sets of mechanical bodies have been put into storage." Suzaku responded.
Li Ming nodded, walked through the base corridor, and came to the giant warehouse at the rear. After stepping into this place, the Suzaku on his shoulders also disappeared. There is no monitoring equipment here, let alone virtual imaging equipment.
The warehouse is brightly lit, and hundreds of large robotic arms and transport crawlers are working non-stop.
This is connected to the final assembly factory of the mechanical warriors. Each assembled mechanical warrior will be transported here and stored, layer after layer, hanging on the transport tracks.
Li Ming couldn't help but nod, and walked to the middle. The circular metal platform on the ground quickly rose, lifting it to the center of the mechanical warrior array.
Then he stretched out his hands, and wisps of golden arcs burst out from his fingertips, landed on the nearest mechanical body, and then multiplied rapidly. Large areas of mechanical arcs burst out, one to two, two to four, multiplying exponentially.
In the end, the entire array of mechanical warriors was enveloped in a golden arc.
But at the same time, the light on the mechanical soldier who was first in contact with the golden arc has faded, like a surging tide, from the inside to the outside, in less than five minutes.
The pupils of these mechanical warriors moved, and Li Ming was the first to speak out, "Suzaku will connect to your system and guide you."
Listen to what he said, everyone All the mechanical warriors fell silent, their tracks started to move, and they stepped down one by one.
The artificial intelligence Suzaku, created and inspired by Li Ming himself, also has the ability to "manage all intelligently controlled objects".
"Tsk, six million metal energy..." Li Ming shook his head. The mechanical warrior after enlightenment has absolute loyalty and will not be changed by any program.
The only trouble before was the need to control it. Fortunately, the ability of [Mechanical Lord] allowed him to control it while constructing it.
But this kind of control cannot gain any ability, nor can it be included in the control space.
But for Li Ming, it was well worth the money.
These mechanical warriors are all uniformly manufactured models and belong to D level. The control condition is 6,000 points of metal energy, which is the limit of Li Ming's design.
Without the [Mechanical King], he would have to spend an additional 60 million metal energy to control it, which would greatly slow down the start of his power.
This base, as well as the numerous manufacturing assembly lines, plus these mechanical soldiers, have consumed the remaining refined alloy.
One-third of these mechanical soldiers will be instilled with relevant mechanical knowledge to manufacture arms.
The remaining two-thirds, after being equipped with weapons, will be mixed with gray-eyed mercenaries to accept various tasks.
"What we have to do next is to come and enlighten us every once in a while..." Li Ming estimated that the initial investment plus subsequent profits would continue to generate income and cycle on its own.
“After further expansion, it is necessary to get involved in the ore stars and master the refining of materials from the source. That will take off.”
“And I only need to find the energy needed for upgrades and harvest regularly. Improve your strength."
He pondered, but these things cannot be rushed.
"Master, there is still half an hour left for the regular meeting."
Coming out of the warehouse, Suzaku appeared on his shoulder again, giving a timely reminder.
Li Ming nodded. Since the Mechanical Royal Court got on the right track, there were a lot of things to do in the early stage, and a meeting would be held every three days to report and summarize.
He immediately went to the core meeting room. Ulrich had arrived early and was preparing various materials. Cornit was also there, as well as Sandro, with middle-level cadres sitting in two rows.
Seeing him arrive, Ulrich said hello, looked around and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start early."
Everyone sat upright, Wu Errich looked at Li Ming, who nodded and said:
"The manpower problem mentioned in the last meeting has basically been solved. The first batch of mechanical warriors has been produced and various settings have been made. It is ready for application."
Manpower is a big problem. Gray The mercenaries under Hitomi's command are rough men and cannot do technical work.
Even highly automated assembly line production requires manpower.
Ulrich was not surprised. After the assembly line was completed, the first thing to be produced was the mechanical warriors, and all the other things were put away. It has been almost a month, and it should be effective.
"This is better, the production efficiency can be raised to a higher level..." Konite nodded, "There are only two months left for the delivery of the security company's arms, so it's still too late..."
The two of them made a brief summary. Basically, there was nothing major. It was just a summary of performance. The overall situation looked stable and good.
Sandro has no say in these matters, like a dull gourd.
More than an hour later, the middle-level cadres left one after another, leaving only Ulrich and Konite. Only then did their faces look a little solemn.
"Those arms dealers are acting more frequently. Three days ago, a batch of orders were cancelled, and the other party was even willing to pay 10% liquidated damages."
"Which arms dealers are they mainly? Shang?" Li Ming frowned slightly.
"Burke, Harlan, and Sybil are taking the lead, and there are more small and medium-sized arms dealers..." Ulrich frowned, "There are many star-casting mechanics behind them."
The network channel has already taken over the first batch of business, but the other party just used low prices to forcefully take away their orders. There is nothing we can do.
“Of course, with our current production capacity, we cannot accept more orders, but if we want to expand, we should make preparations early.” Ulrich hesitated: “Should we let Mr. Qinglong and those people Say hello?”
"Humph, what are you saying? If they dare to pry off our order, we will destroy their merchant ship." Sandro said coldly: "It's just to see who has the biggest fist."
"It's not that simple, then Are we going to do business again?" Ulrich frowned.
Cornette added: "Recently, there have been a lot of unknown spaceships outside the galaxy. They should be trying to find out the news."
"Huh?" Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. Did he spy on the base camp?
"Your Excellency Sandro is right, it's nothing more than comparing whose fist is bigger." Li Ming was indifferent.
Sandro grinned and glanced at Ulrich proudly.
Ulrich frowned and persuaded: "If we want to take action, we can only abandon this place."
"Of course I'm not going to attack their merchant ships. Clear the area first." Li Ming shook his head. The chaotic star gap was not really chaotic.
Even the man who robbed someone before knew how to look for soft persimmons.
At the same time, there is also an invisible rule - equality of strength and power.
Only an overlord like Anduin can control every star gate in the Chaos Star Gap.
Only fists cannot support a large organization, but if there are not enough fists, even a force cannot be established.
"I'm afraid there are many people who want to weigh up how good my teacher is."
Li Ming said leisurely. Ulrich and Cornit looked at each other, which was what they didn't say.
After the meeting, his order was quickly implemented, and Sandro personally took action to clean up the exploration spacecraft near the galaxy one by one.
One of the spies saw that the situation was not good and quickly retreated, barely escaping.
