Chapter 456: Abel’s Awakening at the Twilight Banquet
According to Reynolds, the Titan Soldier is a powerful single combat machine.
300X, this energy level is already comparable to an X-level life form that has embarked on the ultimate path.
Li Ming thought about it, the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization are indeed a treasure trove for mechanics.
The combat effectiveness of a mechanical body comes from many aspects, the most important of which is the strength of its material, which determines its energy conduction and upper load limit.
Due to the upper limit of materials science, the hardest material at present should come from the [Zero Zone Alloy] released by the Star Alliance three years ago, with a hardness standard of 1000X.
Theoretically, it can withstand an attack of 1000X energy level without deforming.
Perhaps the special materials unearthed from the ruins of many civilizations may be stronger, but they are difficult to reproduce and are not considered.
[Zero Zone Alloy] is a marginal additional product produced by the space-time distortion gap. Its synthesis process is extremely random and difficult to reproduce.
This thing is just a raw material, the molecules are super inert, the energy conductivity is below 20%, and the application scenarios are not wide.
Moreover, there are almost no conventional means to make it into other shapes, so it is just a symbol of technological breakthrough.
Materials that can really be applied to the construction of mechanical bodies and are qualified in terms of hardness and energy conduction efficiency are not the strongest ones.
The difficulty of building an X-level mechanical body is beyond imagination. It requires a large number of auxiliary technology trees to reach a certain level. It is a comprehensive product of various industrial foundations and intelligent applications, but the benefits are not as high as imagined.
At present, there is almost no mechanical body in the interstellar that can have an energy level comparable to that of an X-level life form embarking on the ultimate path.
That's why he caused such a big reaction when he was wearing a tank guard and was able to beat Ryan violently after being armed with a guard.
The value of the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization is also here. If breakthrough materials can be found, for them...
No... Thinking of this, Li Ming shook his head. It was of great significance to the two master craftsmen, Reynolds and Mikhail.
"Hmm...according to what Mikhail said, the Red River surge covering that area should theoretically dissipate in half a year. However, accounting for unforeseen circumstances, it is best to set off after three or four months..."
Li Ming pondered, he would definitely go to the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization.
To him, it was also a paradise. Even if there was no harvest, it was still a large treasure house of metal energy.
Not to mention that judging from the reactions Mikhail and Reynolds got, picking up trash can also lead to quite a few good finds.
"In three or four months, I estimate that I will be able to upgrade to another mechanical guard."
He stared at the model in front of him. This exploration was different from the past. The three major civilizations would also send people. The level of strength would probably not be low. There was no guarantee that conflicts would not arise during the process.
"However, it is much more convenient to do things deep in the Red River Star Stream, and the genetic source may also be there."
Li Ming pondered, energy particles surged, and when he was about to communicate with the Holy Castle and hone his combat skills, the smart terminal placed on one side vibrated slightly.
Li Ming paused slightly, picked it up and glanced at it, but his expression suddenly became strange. He immediately gave a few instructions, got up, walked out of the conference room, and came to the reception room.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Ulrich opened the door, followed by two life forms wearing gray-yellow robes.
He is very tall, with pale skin, a white color that has not been exposed to sunlight all year round. He has no eyebrows and a bald head. His eyes are deep and have an unspeakable temperament.
Twilight believers, Anatoly's subordinates. It is said that Anatoly's evolutionary system is special and has a lot of mixtures. This kind of believer is one of the most critical evolutionary paths.
"Your Excellency Li Ming..." One of them spoke with a strange accent, always holding a gray-yellow box about one meter long in his hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, you guys came all the way..." Li Ming nodded.
"You're welcome. This is an invitation letter. Please pass it on to His Excellency Qinglong." The other party handed over the box, his expression always calm.
"Don't worry." Li Ming took it, and the other party folded his hands in front of his chest. He didn't know what kind of weird etiquette he performed, and turned around silently to leave.
Ulrich nodded to him and followed quickly.
"Invitation..." Li Ming muttered, looking down at the box in his hand. The wooden box exuded a fragrant fragrance.
Even without opening it, Li Ming already knew what was inside. It was an invitation from Anatoly, the Vice Chairman of the United Organization of Advanced Life Forms, His Excellency the Twilight Hermit.
Prepare to hold a joint banquet in a year's time.
He checked it out and found out that the outside world called it the Twilight Banquet, which was also famous among the high-level people in the entire galaxy.
It is distributed once every hundred years by the Twilight believers under Anatoly. Due to the weak sense of time of advanced life forms, it is basically distributed one year in advance.
There are many people who like to hold similar banquets, but not many can do so. It is a good opportunity to expand your network.
The people invited are basically well-known X-level life forms, as well as S-level life forms with great potential.
But the last time the Dusk Banquet was held was more than three hundred years ago.
It is said that the reason is that this gathering of advanced life forms has aroused the fear of the three major civilizations, and they jointly suppressed it, resulting in a three-hundred-year suspension.
But now that the joint organization of higher life forms has been completed, this kind of banquet can naturally be restarted.
"Hold together..." He thought of Anduin's words again. After the emergence of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, without the emergence of ultimate life forms, the future interstellar must be close to a team.
A small group will be formed among higher-level life forms, which in turn will make civilizations become closer.
Anatoly, in order to still occupy a considerable voice after the expansion of the Higher Life Forms United Organization, has begun to make arrangements.
Opening the wooden box in front of him, wisps of energy particles floated out, forming a dark yellow sun symbol, exuding a dull yellow light, with a piece of light yellow tissue paper placed inside.
"Light track pattern paper..." Li Ming recognized the material of this paper at a glance, it was quite precious.
Take it out and look at it. There are a few lines written on it in Interstellar Common Language--
[Your Excellency Qinglong is sincerely invited to attend the joint banquet one year from now...]
"It's quite polite to be polite..." Li Ming scanned it and didn't say how to refuse, as if he would go by default.
"Huh?"
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. Under the invitation, there was a small piece of paper,
"In one month, I will hold a preview tasting party with all kinds of rare interstellar ingredients. Hope you can come. I know that you have been paying attention to some secret information recently."
"Interesting..." Li Ming looked at the two pieces of paper, one large and one small. In the highly developed interstellar era, it felt a bit strange to use paper to transmit information.
The Dusk Banquet is a big banquet, and attending it does not mean that you are on the same side as Anatoly.
But this tasting may be different and extremely private.
The Dusk Banquet used to be very popular. As of the last time it was held, the number of X-level life forms in attendance had exceeded thirty.
This reinvitation, combined with the establishment of the Joint Organization of Higher Life Forms, will probably make the situation more powerful than low.
"Do you know that I have been paying attention to some secret information recently?" Li Ming scanned it again, his eyes flashing slightly. Boom - Red flames burst out from the paper, and within a short moment, they were reduced to ashes.
"I hate the Riddler the most..." Li Ming shook his head. He would definitely not go to this tasting session. The other party wanted to win over him, but he still didn't explain clearly.
If it was clear what price he was given, he would still be interested in taking a trip, but he might as well forget it now, maybe he would be paid for nothing.
As for the evening banquet, we have to wait for another year and then we will talk about it.
Li Ming casually threw the box into the display cabinet in the reception room. This was just a small episode. After handling it, Li Ming returned to the room and continued to develop and communicate with the Holy Castle.
………
Empire Homestar
"Your Highness..."
With a hurried expression, a person walked through the palace corridor and came to the deepest room. He knelt down with a pop and said in a trembling voice: "I just got the news - Marquez died on the battlefield of Clondia."
"What!?" Abel's pupils suddenly dilated, his expression was gloomy, and he shouted coldly: "The Kelendian rebels are only A-level life forms at best. He is an S-level life form. How could he die?"
"The battle report said that Major General Marquez insisted on going his own way and drove a small spaceship into the battle. In the end, no bones were left." His subordinates reported carefully.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Going your own way?" Abel couldn't help but sneer, "There is no body left. My brothers are afraid that I will develop any power."
"Since the end of the Holy Elephant Incident, all the people under my command have been wiped out by them."
The men were lying on the ground, not daring to speak.
"I understand. In my name, I would like to send my condolences to his family." Abel quickly calmed down his emotions and said calmly.
The men nodded and left cautiously. Abel was the only one left in the room. His expression suddenly became ferocious again, and his voice was almost squeezed out of his throat: "You go too far to bully others, even my fighting teacher dares to kill him!"
Having said that, he was a little dejected. Although he was accidentally cheated in the incident of controlling the holy elephant, it was something that no one could have expected. It was a crime other than war.
Moreover, the top person in charge that day was Kostat, and with Ryan's interference, he could not be held accountable no matter what.
In any case, he got the Saint Castle's orbit calculation program and clues about the Eternal Star, and was greatly praised by his father.
His elder brothers had a tacit understanding. Seeing this, they joined forces to kill all the men he had managed to train.
"But, the battle for the Holy Emperor has always been like this..." Abel breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down his emotions, and various thoughts intertwined in his mind.
Although he has always been mature and steady and is favored by many people, he is only optimistic.
Each of his brothers is not inferior to him, or even stronger than him.
Age is a flaw, developing dozens or hundreds of years later than others, and without the support of a strong maternal clan, thinking about the supreme position is no less than wishful thinking.
But Abel was not discouraged. The Holy Emperor, who had a similar background to him, had one in front of him - his father Adam.
Although Adam was not the youngest, he was not much better than him, but he was able to ascend to the position of Holy Emperor step by step. What did he rely on?
Is it an external force? His father can do it, but he can't?
Do you really want to do this? There was struggle and hesitation in his eyes.
Finally, his eyes gradually became firmer, and his eyes finally settled on a group photo on the table. Next to him was the calm-looking Marquez, his fighting class teacher.
Take out the smart terminal, arrange the shielding device, find a contact, and initiate communication.
No one answered the call at the first time, so he was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
……
"I can barely withstand the attack from the four Yuan tribes..." Li Ming opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief. His muscles couldn't stop trembling. The energy particles suddenly collapsed and then became more turbulent.
Mental fluctuations induce physical reactions, thinking that they are still in a battle.
After adjusting his condition, he discovered that someone on the black hole network contacted him, and it was also Li Ming.
"Abel?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise, thought for a moment, and called back.
It was quickly connected and the screen popped up.
Li Ming's tone was very familiar, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly think of contacting me and exchanging information?"
Abel didn't often exchange information with him and adhered to a certain bottom line. The last time they exchanged information was when Ryan died.
Abel's voice was dull, "I heard that your teacher destroyed the conservative base of the Marist Church not long ago?"
"You all know?" Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. No one on his side knew the news. The only one who could leak it was the Holy Mother Cult.
It all seeped into a sieve, and he shook his head secretly.
And Abel continued: "The conservatives control the remaining forces of the Marist Church within the empire. Your teacher should have that list."
"Oh?" Li Ming was noncommittal, and it suddenly dawned on him that Abel was here for this matter.
The value of that list to him is not that huge, and using any one of them alone would hardly have any impact.
After all, the people on the list are just other people's wives.
But for Abel, it was completely different.
"I want that list, please give me a price." Abel got straight to the point, very direct.
Li Ming couldn't help but feel happy, ha, he likes to deal with people like this.
"Make a price?" He said slowly and leisurely: "Your Highness, you should think carefully about what you can do for me. I will ask you to transfer it to me, ten trillion star coins. Can you transfer it?"
< br>
Abel choked, snorted in an insignificant way, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I do have some information related to your teacher."
"Tell me about it..." Li Ming's reaction was flat.
"Just let me tell you directly?" Abel asked.
"This is a matter of trust. By the way, Ryan's death should be kept secret within the empire." Li Ming suddenly mentioned this matter, "This news is actually of little use to me, but to you, There is a lot of room for maneuver.”
"Speak first, don't worry, I will estimate a suitable price."
Mentioning this matter, Abel fell silent. The value of Ryan's death was indeed not low.
He knew that there were many people in the royal family who were secretly investigating Ryan's whereabouts, but he had never offered anything to trade.
His face changed, and Abel hesitated to speak, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "...It's the Holy Castle..."
