Chapter 380 Development Keyword Career Promotion
"There are still many things that may need to be handled by you or Lord Qinglong personally." Ulrich added.
Li Ming nodded, "Notify the others to prepare for a remote meeting."
Ulrich nodded and quickly made arrangements.
In the base conference room, it has obviously been expanded many times and the space is extremely spacious.
Li Ming sat at the head of the table, and the supporting virtual projection equipment was suspended in every corner of the conference room, like diamond-shaped crystals.
Data and images flowed through it, projecting three-dimensional scenes and detailed information charts in front of Li Ming.
This is various detailed data for the past six months. The scale of the Mechanical Royal Court itself has been continuously expanding, eroding the arms market in the Chaos Star Gap.
Therefore almost no profit was retained, all was invested by Ulrich.
In the past six months alone, the turnover has soared twenty-fold, reaching more than 200 billion. The explosive growth was mainly concentrated after the events in the central world.
There are still orders of 100 billion, which are being digested intensively. There is a [Material Recombination Fabricator], and even if it is constantly expanding, the production capacity still cannot keep up.
Ulrich and the other A-level life forms also bought a lot of things with their own money.
A long metal table lies in the center. Its surface shines with a cold luster and has strong lines. It is cast from a single piece of interstellar alloy at one time, and the edges are inlaid with fine energy lines. The blue light shines every time. Hide and appear.
Ulrich and others were sitting on both sides, while Sandro was talking non-stop, beaming,
“…You don’t know, I picked up Andel’s civilized phone at that time. Hiring mission to deal with several star thieves who escaped to another civilization.”
"In order not to cause civilized disputes, they did not take action personally, but something happened in the middle. There was something wrong with the information provided by Andel's civilization, which caused me to accidentally kill a few."
"The mission was not completed. Okay, there is no problem with the other party deducting money, but the bastard in charge looked arrogant and said that I was only at this level."
Sandro looked resentful, but he changed his mind in the blink of an eye. A face, "Guess what..."
No one here paid any attention to him. Sandro had long been used to it, and suddenly he said, "At this moment, the news came that Lord Qinglong is a master craftsman!"< br>
“I was already about to leave the Andel star civilization, but the person in charge suddenly changed his face and was so flattering that it made me sick. Not only did he return the money I had deducted, but he also paid me an additional 20% of the remuneration. .”
"You don't know, let alone how wonderful it is." Sandro sighed with emotion, but no one paid him any attention.
Then, the seat next to Ulrich flashed with arc light. With the shape of the bright blue light, Theo's figure emerged. He looked at Li Ming for the first time, his eyes twinkling.
Sandro and Theo have been taking people on hiring missions. They are also expanding channels in disguise. They have come into contact with the most people. Since the events in the central world, they have also felt the most changes.
As long as you know that they are members of the Mechanical Royal Court, they will basically give the green light. Unlike in the past, you have to take extra care.
Seeing Theo also arriving, Li Ming swiped his hand and the virtual screen in front of him disappeared. He looked around and said in a deep voice: "Now that everyone is here, we can start."
Everyone subconsciously straightened their chests. Even when facing Li Ming, they did not dare to show any slightness at this moment.
"Ulrich, tell us about the problems we are facing now."
Ulrich nodded and immediately said: "Because of the influence of Lord Qinglong, many companies in the Chaos Star Gap have Before we give in, there will basically be no obstacles to our development until it reaches a certain level.”< br>
“Because of Prince Ryan, it may not be easy to extend outwards, but we haven’t finished eating the Chaotic Star Gap yet, so we don’t need to consider it for the time being.”
“The obstacles come from within us, formed After all, the time is too short, and production capacity and manpower are currently seriously insufficient.”
"The production capacity problem can be solved as long as there are resources due to the existence of [Material Recombination Maker], while the manpower problem can only be solved through recruitment."
Ulrich looked at Li Ming, "We are extremely short of middle managers. Managers, those mercenaries from Theo, can still be useful when the scale is small, but as the scale grows, professional managers are necessary.”
"There are more backbone armed forces, and the employment business has also entered a period of stagnation, mainly due to the serious shortage of B-class life forms."
"Then recruit." Li Ming nodded, "However, as long as Recruiting management personnel is enough, as for the backbone armed forces..."
He muttered: "I will ask the teacher to give me some drawings of the B-class mechanical body."
The Mechanical Royal Court is still only a small force now, but judging from the attention it has received, it is unknown how many spies will be recruited under the open recruitment.
Especially for the role of force, Li Ming did not expect to recruit a hundred people, ninety of whom were spies.
"Mechanical body..." Ulrich nodded slowly, "Our own problems are these two. Externally, there are many forces who want to form an alliance with us and share channels."< br>
“Reject them all.” Li Ming said decisively.
Ulrich said in surprise, "Reject them all?"
He thinks this is a good opportunity for expansion. Anyway, with Qinglong sitting behind Li Ming, those people can't make any trouble.
Li Ming did not explain. Of course he knew that those people came for Qinglong, and there were countless people with evil intentions.
If Qinglong really had the background and strength of a master craftsman, he wouldn’t mind accepting everything.
For now, he just wants to shape the Mechanical Royal Court into Li Ming's own force, and let others stop causing trouble for Qinglong's sake.
He has too deep connections with other forces. If something happens to him, will he save him or not?
If it happened to be the kind of person that Li Ming couldn't defeat and Qinglong had to take action, should he move or not?
"We just need to do business." Li Ming emphasized, and Ulrich nodded.
"In addition, I will set up a dimensional exploration department to explore the dimensional world. Your Excellency Theo will be responsible for this matter." Li Ming designated:
"I will ask Mr. Austin Come and help us secure the passage to the dimensional world forever.”
The dimensional world is a treasure, and he will not give up, but exploring it by himself is too time-consuming, and he prefers to harvest it.
"Understood." Theo was still concise and to the point.
"The theme remains the same, it is still expansion." Li Ming looked around the crowd and said firmly, "If there are any obstacles, I will deal with them. If I can't handle them, I will ask the teacher for help."
He stood up: "Everyone, at the top of the star, here we are Wait for us!"
"Star Top!"
Everyone stood up and agreed. Even Ulrich couldn't help but feel confused. Why did they have to pay for it from their own pockets? It’s not like Qinglong is here, the future is bright!
Li Ming leads the general strategy, while the details are the work of Ulrich and others.
After the meeting, Ulrich took Li Ming to the warehouse. The confidentiality level of this warehouse was very high, and the metal materials used to build it were of more than one level.
The scale is also relatively small. After passing various verifications, it is found that what is inside is the core of a star.
The dazzling metallic luster made Li Ming narrow his eyes and walked straight in.
After closing the warehouse door, it took a long time before I walked out of it and slowly exhaled. Ulrich was still waiting here, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the empty warehouse through the gap in the metal door.
Something gone?
He murmured in his heart, was it sent directly to Lord Qinglong in some way?
He didn't know what Li Ming wanted these metal materials for, but he just thought it was Lord Qinglong's request.
Li Ming's eyes were bright, with 650 million metal energy, which was a new high so far.
He was now ready to spend it eagerly.
"The mechanical body warehouse is over here..." Ulrich turned around and said. Li Ming wanted to go, but his heart suddenly moved slightly and said: "Wait a moment, don't be in a hurry yet."
Ulrich paused slightly and nodded.
Li Ming left in a hurry, and before leaving, he told Ulrich, "Sir Ulrich, someone may send something over in the past two days, just bring it to me directly."
"Understood." Ulrich nodded, and after watching Li Ming leave, he opened the smart terminal.
All the way back to the room, it didn't change much, it was very familiar.
Six hundred and fifty million metal energy, he must plan carefully.
To control the infinite hammer, one billion is needed, and the gap is 350 million. It is not a small number, and it should not be enough in a short time.
Then take control of [The Artisan’s Relic] first.
Li Ming took out the [Magic Craftsman's Relic], which contained all the skills of the hammersmith. He first exported the data, copied it to Suzaku, and asked it to be classified into categories.
These things are not waste paper, they are extremely precious, such as [Photon Storm Field] and [Superstring Resonator], which are very useful. There are also drawings of various armed mechanical bodies, which are very helpful for him to produce high-end mechanical bodies. .
Then, decisively consume 200 million metal energy, take control of the [Godly Craftsman’s Relic], and then consume it directly.
The control page pops up, the text is distorted, and it is covered with a layer of magnificent colors.
[Mechanical King]→[Mechanical Lord]
Promoted again, [Mechanical Lord] is already considered a sixth-level profession.
[Mechanical Lord: Has the ability of [Lord’s Power] and [Guard Squad]. ]
[The power of the lord: you can use metal energy to carry out large-scale transformation, repair, strengthening and construction of the objects you control. There is a certain chance of [mutation] in the construction process]
[ Guards Squad: You can construct six mechanical bodies with [Guards] characteristics. 】
Li Ming looked at the explanation carefully. The promotion enhanced two abilities at the same time. Large scale became super large scale, and there was a [Mutation]
There were more mechanical guards. Two, this was what Li Ming expected.
What he was more curious about was the [Mutation] ability.
[Mutation: During the construction process, the mechanical body has a 0.1% probability of being promoted to one level, and a 0.01% probability of being promoted to two levels. No additional metal energy is consumed, and the level after promotion cannot exceed that of the host. 】
Li Ming blinked and his expression became very exciting. [Mutation] is very powerful. Triggering this ability will not consume additional metal energy.
Although the probability is too low, the number cannot be maintained.
“Tsk, luckily I kept an eye out.” Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Before his promotion, he had expected that his professional ability would be related to the attunement of the mechanical body, so he did not try to enlighten the mechanical body first.
He couldn't wait, and immediately went to the mechanical body warehouse to experiment with new abilities. .
Leave the room and take the aircraft straight to the new mechanical body warehouse. The specifications have been expanded more than ten times. Layers of standard mechanical bodies are piled up together, like a towering mountain made of metal.
The shell shines with a cold luster, and every component fits precisely. The lines are regular and sharp, squeezing and interlacing each other, and the complex structure is dazzling.
After the warehouse door closed, Li Ming stepped forward and soon came to the middle of the piled mechanical bodies. He stretched out his limbs. Wisps of arcs shot out from between his fingers, and a faint blue light emerged from the gaps. .
Like the mysterious veins of this metal mountain, it began to spread rapidly, and electric current was flowing on the surface, making a crackling sound, like low thunder echoing in the valley.
Viewed from a distance, it looks like a frozen metal mechanical storm.
Suddenly, a white electric arc suddenly exploded at a certain location, like a violent blue snake, twisting its body crazily.
The wrapped mechanical body parts were scattered in all directions, like a metal rainstorm. Each part trembled, deformed, and reorganized under the impact of powerful energy, becoming more refined and powerful.
This is just the first one. There are hundreds of white arcs exploding everywhere.
Suddenly, a blue arc exploded, and the transformation inside became more intense. The collision of metal was deafening, and sparks flew everywhere, like bright fireworks.
Energy surged wildly inside the mechanical body, and light shot out from the gaps, dyeing the entire area a dazzling blue.
In this light, the appearance of the mechanical body is constantly changing, gradually forming a new, more complex and powerful form.
The first two mechanical horns are shining with a cold chill. The awn can easily pierce through any obstacle, and its three-meter-high body stands tall, exuding a suffocating pressure.
The mechanical limbs are extremely thick, the muscle-like metal lines highlight the strong sense of power, and the bright blue mechanical pupils are constantly rotating.
A layer of light blue energy shield flows on the surface of the body, and the current snakes like a snake.
After the initiation, Li Ming came to the mechanical body, looked at it carefully, and made a few attempts to confirm that its level had reached B level.
Constructing 100,000 D-level mechanical bodies consumed six million metal energy, and more than a hundred C-level machines were produced before only one B-level machine was produced.
Li Ming sighed, but he also knew that the level of his mechanical body was too low. If he were to move up a level, this B-level would become A-level.
However, if these mechanical bodies are raised to a higher level as a whole, the various resources consumed are not as simple as doubling, but may be more than ten times.
The warehouse door opened and Ulrich was still waiting outside. Li Ming was a little surprised, but he still said: "These mechanical bodies are ready to work."
"Understood." Ulrich nodded, explaining the purpose of his visit this time, holding a black box in his hand, "This is what was just delivered. The recipient is Mr. Qinglong. It is couriered by the Giant Shield Company and will be delivered as soon as ordered. Come here."
"Oh." Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and he took the metal box and weighed it very lightly.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, I'll leave first." Li Ming nodded and left.
Ulrich walked into the warehouse, preparing to distribute these mechanical bodies everywhere.
However, as soon as he entered, he was stunned and looked at the burly bull-headed mechanical body in astonishment.
When did we ever make something like this?
