Chapter 474 Mechanical Seed
"It's about to open..." Li Ming looked at the cracks on the metal block, and wisps of space ripples began to stir.
Li Ming felt carefully and was terrified, "It's compressed so completely, I'm afraid I can't hold it down."
Li Ming couldn't help but feel regretful when he found that there was no possibility of stealing the chicken.
"It seems that Qinglong is really well prepared."
To the outside world, Gonzalez said neither salty nor lightly.
Everyone looked at the metal fortress in the center of the field. With the defensive capabilities of these machines, it was difficult for them to directly observe the internal conditions.
No one would think that this was Li Ming's own method. It was clearly prepared by Qinglong.
The relevant information should be obtained from Reynolds and Mikhail.
"I don't know what the means are. This Lord Qinglong is indeed well-deserved." Lancaster couldn't help but shook his head, "It's a pity that I couldn't see him this time."
"Dius can open it, Qinglong may have a similar method." Crowe said lightly, "I'm not so surprised, I even said that it may not be able to open it."
Dius swept over coldly, his mood was not good, and he became even more unhappy after hearing these words.
Reynolds glanced at them. He was too lazy to explain. Is it the same value to open in one day as to open in one year?
The brain circuits of these guys are all the same, and only bigger and harder fists can break into their hearts.
As for the second half of Crowe's words, everyone present automatically ignored them.
There is no point in discussing whether it can be opened now, and we can't wait long.
Everyone was thinking about it, but Costart kept staring suspiciously at the black and white mist in the distance.
"What's wrong?" Cedric noticed something strange about him and couldn't help but ask.
"It just feels a little wrong." Costart frowned, "Creator, are you sure there are no other dangers in this area?"
Mikhail said calmly: "The number of explorations between us and the forging hammer combined is more than twenty. If you don't believe it, you can explore it yourself."
Costat glanced at the fog in the distance. He would be a fool if he really wanted to break away from the large army. He shook his head and said: "No, I believe in you."
"What happened?" Cedric asked.
"It's nothing." Kostat did not explain his own feelings. It was difficult for others to empathize with and believe him.
After waiting for a moment, everyone's eyes moved slightly. The mechanical fortress in front of them opened and each shrank into a mechanical body. Li Ming also quickly exited from it.
"Huh?" Mikhail looked at it for the first time and was quite shocked. He saw only a little bit of the silver metal block left, with cracks all over the surface.
boom!
The next moment, the metal block exploded, followed by an extremely violent force that seemed to have been suppressed for a long time.
Metal fragments shot out in all directions. The ripples in the space are surging, clearly visible to the naked eye, as if a huge boulder has been thrown into the calm lake surface, causing ripples in layers.
It was like turning into a piece of trembling silk, twisting and deforming.
Immediately afterwards, a huge fortress-like box appeared without warning, and the strong wind that was squeezed out from it raged wildly and crashed down.
Everyone present reacted so quickly and evacuated immediately.
The ground roared incessantly, and as soon as the billowing dust in the field began to stir, it was suddenly suppressed by an invisible force.
"Is this their warehouse?" Dius looked at it. The box was rectangular in shape, with a dark surface and a frosted texture. It was quite huge and almost covered the entire area.
"The molecular gap has become very large, and the strength of this material has undergone severe failure..." Mikhail held a piece of metal fragment in his hand, observed it carefully, and was surprised: "It can even be said that it is no longer the same as the original material. The same material.”
"How is this done?" He looked at Li Ming incomprehensibly. He had never seen such a similar method to degrade metal materials?
"Let's go in and have a look."
Compared to Mikhail, the others were more concerned about what else was inside and approached the box immediately.
The material of the box is not that hard, it just acts as a support, and a hole can be easily opened.
Everyone filed in and entered a huge space. Surprisingly, there were no weapon racks, only a few giant metal cans placed in the center.
The body of the jar is covered with complex and mysterious lines, and occasionally a weak electric current travels along the lines, making a sizzling sound.
"Is this... nanomaterial?" Cedric walked up to one of the metal cans, tore open the outer shell with his palm, and a large amount of black liquid flowed out, fluctuating irregularly.
"This should be a programmable unified material." Mikhail walked over and sucked up a ball of black liquid, which continued to change into various shapes in his hands.
"Mid-level and low-level weapons, and even various types of infrastructure, should be uniformly constructed using this material, which can save a lot of production lines. We have discovered similar molded objects before, but this is the first time we have discovered this raw material."
Mikhail's eyes changed: "In the Holy Spirit Civilization, except for some high-strength mechanical bodies and weapons, high-end solid metals are used."
"Isn't this still nanomaterials?" Cedric was speechless.
Reynolds said with disdain: "I remember that the Empire has made many breakthroughs in nanomaterials. Why hasn't this unified material been developed?"
“If mid- to low-end machines and equipment could all be made of the same materials, wouldn’t it save a lot of effort?”
Cedric choked, but Mikhail was too lazy to say anything more. He opened the other metal cans one by one, took out all the remaining black liquid inside, and divided it into four equal parts.
They were divided into three major civilizations, and then the portion he kept now was cut into three parts.
Li Ming took out a jar and put it away, secretly stunned.
The benefits of this unified material are self-evident. The number of production lines saved is not just a hundred or two hundred, but perhaps tens of thousands or even more.
However, the difficulty is self-evident. The fundamental reason why nanomaterials cannot achieve this unified material is because their characteristics are far from comprehensive.
Even for extremely simple smart terminals, various accessories require different material properties, and the properties required for data calculation, memory storage and energy transmission are very different.
Although the others didn't quite understand it, seeing that the two master craftsmen valued it so much, they all put it away cautiously.
At the same time, Li Ming has quietly activated his [Intelligent Assistance] ability to help him check every detail without blind spots.
"Is this the only thing?" Gonzalez frowned, not even enough to stuff it between his teeth.
"There is still an area behind..." Mikhail had already calculated that the area in this space did not match the entire box, and there was still a space.
After simply punching through the metal wall, the small area in front of them was quite familiar to everyone, with layers of metal frames arranged in sequence.
However, the base of the metal frame was empty, with nothing left.
"It's already empty." Dius frowned, and everyone looked unhappy.
Judging from the tragic situation of the fighting outside, it is definitely unrealistic to expect that the warehouse will be full, but only a few cans of black liquid were dug out, which is too disappointing. "A mechanical body?" Gonzalez noticed something unusual. In the corner, there was half a piece of metal debris that had decayed and was leaning against the wall.
"Guards?" Everyone came over. Mikhail's eyes flickered, but Reynolds said: "I'm afraid he's a deserter. There is no need for guards here."
After careful inspection of the body, no valuable items were found. After passing through this area, everyone's expressions couldn't help but soften a little.
There are slender glass pillars arranged one after another, most of them are empty, only a few here and there still have something left.
But unlike the various powerful weapons that everyone expected, they were almost identical purple metal blocks.
"What the hell? Does this warehouse provide raw materials?" Cedric frowned, staring at the glass column in front of him. The purple metal block was the size of an adult's head, slowly rotating, and still surrounded by vague particles. flow.
"For us, it is raw material..." Mikhail shook his head, his eyes a little fiery: "But you have to look at it based on the specific situation of the Holy Spirit civilization. Most of them are mechanical evolution bodies."
"This kind of metal material is basically specially crafted to fit their evolutionary path. If used, it should be able to form a variety of weapons based on their own characteristics."
"It's really amazing..." Reynolds couldn't help but join in, his excitement even more uncontrollable: "Advanced prototype materials, if the research is clear..."
Before he finished speaking, he was pressed down by Mikhail.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Reynolds couldn't help but frown.
Civilizations at this level have extremely strong technical barriers. Although the various mechanical bodies they found before can be repaired and used, the most fundamental mechanical evolution route of the Holy Spirit Civilization is unknown.
The value of this prototype material is extraordinary. If they can study it clearly, it will be a great improvement for them, and they may be able to get a glimpse of the mechanical evolution route.
Click——
The sound of shattering was heard, and everyone followed the sound and saw that Li Ming had penetrated the glass pillar and took out a piece of purple metal.
"I'm sorry everyone, as we agreed, I have the right of first choice." He picked it up in his hand. This purple metal block was really heavy.
Everyone's expressions changed. The harvest in front of them was really not what they wanted, but it was better than nothing, so they had no choice but to accept it.
As a result, the entire area was searched, and two pieces of purple metal were finally found.
"Only two pieces..." Gonzalez looked ugly. Apart from Li Ming, Reynolds and Mikhail still scored.
The two pieces still need to be divided into four equal parts, which is too mixed.
"The hammersmith spent so much effort, and you still haven't opened the warehouse after many attempts. This is the only thing in it?" Crowe said in a bad tone.
Mikhail glanced at Li Ming and said, "I've already reminded you that I never said how precious it was, it's just that it can't be opened for various reasons."
"It's just ruins, what else do you expect to find?"
Even Kostat frowned. If Mikhail and Reynolds hadn't made it so difficult, they wouldn't have had such expectations.
The most important thing is that they really don't need these things.
They could clearly see Reynolds' excitement just now, and the improvement these raw materials had for them might be extraordinary.
But they can only take it back and hand it over to the research institute. It may take a long time to really turn it into a value that can be seen.
Li Ming tried briefly to absorb the purple metal block, but his speed was much slower than the silver metal block outside.
His face looked a little strange, which meant that the most precious thing in this warehouse was the metal lumps from the outside world.
But no one seemed to pay much attention, and Mikhail was the only one who looked at him frequently.
He kept his expression and looked around, ignoring everyone's divisions. He wandered around the area and looked through every area.
Suddenly, he paused slightly, stretched out his hand, and something stuck in the corner quietly fell into his hand.
Um? Li Ming's heart skipped a beat. Before he could think about it, a voice suddenly came from behind, "What is that?"
As soon as Li Ming turned his head, everyone was already standing behind him. It was Crowe who spoke, his eyes lingering in Li Ming's hands.
"Fuck, it's really troublesome to hide from these bastards." Li Ming cursed in his heart, stretched out his hand, and a black thumb-shaped object appeared in front of everyone.
For an instant, Mikhail's eyes trembled, but as a mechanical transformation, he could perfectly control his emotions.
It seemed like that thing... His heart trembled slightly, there was actually a prototype of this thing.
"I don't know, it may be a broken part from somewhere." Li Ming said calmly.
"Really?" Everyone looked suspiciously. They had already experienced Li Ming's chicken thieves.
"Take it and take a look..." Crowe stretched out his hand expressionlessly.
Li Ming shrugged and didn't care, and threw it away, but said: "Be careful, if it is damaged, you have to pay for it, and I will ask a sky-high price."
Crowe snorted coldly, took it into his hand and looked at it carefully for a while. Naturally, he couldn't see any clues. He squeezed it with his palm and made an indentation easily.
Isn’t it really a good thing?
They always believe that things with high levels will naturally have high hardness.
After thinking about it, he threw it to Dius, "Look..."
Dius glanced at Li Ming. He was obviously worried about his cutting off the beard. He unceremoniously opened a series of rune circles and studied them carefully. In the end, he found no clues.
"It seems to be some kind of exquisitely structured object..." Dius threw it to Kostat again. Kostat just looked at it briefly and put it in Mikhail's hand.
Mikhail's mechanical pupils were condensed, and he only looked at it for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart. Really, this thing actually has a prototype.
The thing that even the forging hammer couldn't find is actually here, the foundation of the mechanical evolution system of the Holy Spirit's civilization!
Although he was extremely excited, he still pretended to throw it to Li Ming as if nothing had happened.
"I haven't watched it yet," Reynolds said dissatisfied.
"It's just a small part. It may be the shock caused by the space release just now." Mikhail said indifferently.
"How can there be so many good things..." Li Ming looked helpless and picked it up casually, but he was quite surprised in his heart.
No wonder it's called the mechanical evolution system, it turns out it's because of this thing.
