Chapter 484 Going deeper
Go inside and have a look?
After hearing Costant's suggestion, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they subconsciously resisted this exploration of the unknown.
"This should be the impact of the Red River Disaster." Mikhail speculated.
"Red River Catastrophe? How long did this cataclysm last?" Dius was slightly surprised, "How long have we been in there?"
"It won't last more than a month. I estimate that the scale of what was flushed out this time should not be large." Mikhail shook his head.
The torrent of energy mixed with the void storm raged around. This was not the first disaster in the Red River. There were data models to predict it.
Kostat added: "We have penetrated deep into the storm area and estimate that we are not far from the core of the catastrophe. We may have some unexpected gains."
Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but feel proud.
I was disgusted in this ruins and didn't get anything good, so it would be a good idea to go and check it out.
"Of course, I'm just a suggestion. No matter what, I will definitely go." Costart added.
"Let's go together so we can take care of you." Dius also nodded.
Naturally, Gonzalez would not refuse. He followed Lancaster evasively, fearing that Li Ming would suddenly make a move and smash him to death with a hammer.
"How many are there?" Costat looked over, as if the confrontation just didn't happen at all, and he issued an invitation calmly.
"Go and have a look?" Reynolds asked tentatively, "It's a rare good opportunity, thank you for just twisting and walking away."
"The Red River Disaster lasted for a very short time, and it broke out. I guess it was not a good thing." Mikhail also agreed, "However, even if it is not good, it is still a lost civilization."
"It is estimated that there will be many people who will take action after hearing the news, and there will be people who want to covet the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization. We moved too fast, and they may not even catch up with us, but they will definitely not miss this good opportunity."
< br>
Seeing Li Ming's silence, he added: "We are in a storm area and cannot communicate with the outside world. There will be no traps."
"Then go take a look." Li Ming also nodded.
"With a few master craftsmen here, we can feel more at ease." Costart couldn't help but say after receiving the response.
In the past Red River Catastrophe, the three major civilizations were basically the main force for exploration. However, this time the duration was too short, so the three major civilizations probably didn't take it too seriously.
Except for Gonzalez, who was dodging, both parties gathered together again, and only Reynolds muttered something like "disgusting" a few times.
Each boarded their own warship and then entered a common orbital navigation state.
Although they did not have specific coordinates, the Red River Star Stream was not a completely unfamiliar place. According to past experience, they went to the core area first.
The mechanical legions of Reynolds and Mikhail have shrunk. If they continue to advance, their mechanical bodies will be severely tested, and the losses may continue to increase.
But as long as you are careful and don't go too deep, the overall loss can still be borne.
"Tsk, tsk, some people still have the nerve to stay here." Reynolds began to sneer as soon as he stepped into the battleship, "Software mechanics are really well-deserved, and they are so decisive in jumping left and right."
Mikhail was too lazy to talk to him and just looked at Li Ming. He had already put away his mechanical body and even the tank guard had disappeared. "Where are the things?"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency." Li Ming took out something and said, "Please two of us study it together."
"Research together?" Reynolds came over and was quite surprised: "Isn't this the small part you found in the warehouse?"
He immediately felt something was wrong. Mikhail had not let him check this small part before.
I didn't take it to heart at the time, but now I looked slightly moved and reached out to pick it up.
Opening the palm of his hand, some kind of detection instrument appeared. As soon as it was scanned, Reynolds's face changed slightly, and he said in shock: "Could this be..."
"Yes, this is the prototype of the Mechanical Seed..." Mikhail nodded, with a complicated expression.
"It's really this thing..." Reynolds looked surprised, his movements suddenly became much more careful, and he carefully held the land in his hands, "The thing that the forging hammer has been looking for actually made..."
He wanted to say "us", but then he looked at Li Ming and said, "I met you, kid."
After saying that, he reacted again, looked at Mikhail, frowned and said: "So, this is the reason why you defected?"
Mikhail glanced at him lightly.
He had no intention of joining forces with others to deal with Li Ming. He was just using this method to gain some chips for himself, which was not considered defection.
Reynolds changed his voice and grinned: "However, you old fox has exhausted all your tricks, and you still don't want to study with me in the end."
Having said this, Mikhail's face finally turned ugly.
This idiot...
Who knew that the protective measures Qinglong had prepared for Li Ming were so strong, and his joining had turned a help in times of need into the icing on the cake.
And taking advantage of his advantage, Reynolds got a free advantage.
"Without me, you wouldn't be able to study for the rest of your life." Mikhail said angrily.
He didn't believe that Qinglong was willing to take the initiative to take this thing out for Reynolds to study.
And this idiot is still here making sarcastic remarks and ridiculing him.
"Alas..." Reynolds shook his head, with a preaching tone: "What's yours is always yours, what's not yours, you can't get it despite all your efforts."
Is this idiot worthy of preaching to him?
Mikhail wanted to slap him in the face, but he just said coldly: "When we go back, let's set up a research laboratory together."
Although Li Ming said that he and Reynolds would study together, he did not think that Qinglong would really stay out of the matter.
There are always loopholes in what young people say. Since Reynolds already had a hand in it, he wouldn't mind Qinglong getting involved again.
"A mechanical seed..." Reynolds was still studying the small object in his hand, and kept sighing: "I don't know how the Holy Spirit civilization can create it..."
At this point, he looked a little sad, "Unfortunately, it was discovered too late."
"If the forging hammer is still there, or if we can study it hundreds or thousands of years earlier, the machinist will really become an evolutionary path, and the overall strength should be several times stronger, and we will not fall into the same category. The consequences of partition.”
Mikhail's expression calmed down and he said indifferently: "No one can change this fate, just like the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization. We have explored it so many times, and as soon as Li Ming came, we got everything."
When Li Ming heard this, he just smiled gently and played his own role.
Reynolds came over and said happily: "It seems you have listened. What I just said is good, not bad..."
Mikhail's face turned dark.
"By the way..." Reynolds couldn't help but grin when he saw this, leaned towards Li Ming, and asked in a low voice: "Then what is the secret kept by the star spirit?" "This..." Li Ming looked embarrassed.
Mikhail sneered secretly, what an idiot, how could the other party tell you.
Do you really think he is one of Qinglong’s own people?
He always believed that the reason why Li Ming was invincible in the ruins was because the information from Reynolds made Qinglong fully prepared.
This fool has an inexplicable fondness for Qinglong. He always feels that he is similar to the forging hammer, and he may have been manipulated.
Mikhail interjected indifferently: "Judging from the current situation, it should be a foregone conclusion that the association will be divided."
"I expected to get the foundation to support the continued existence of the Mechanics Association from the ruins. Unfortunately, although the prototype of the Machinery Seed can be called a variable, there is not enough time."
It will take too long for them to study it clearly and reproduce it, and then find ways to promote this evolutionary path and form a moat to maintain the Mechanics Association.
"If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future." Li Ming also said, "You two sirs, let's study it first. One day we can reproduce this evolutionary path."
He also felt that it was a pity that judging from the current situation, the fate of the Machinists Association being divided was still unavoidable.
After that, it may be difficult for the Mechanical Royal Court to expand out of the Chaos Star Gap.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
However, Li Ming is still very interested in the research of these two people.
Although he has a [Race Creator], it can only be used on the mechanical bodies he made and constructed, and cannot be promoted on a large scale.
If it is successfully reproduced, it is still possible to bring back the Machinists Association.
Mikhail nodded, feeling agitated in his heart. With this prototype, the division of the Mechanics Association would only be temporary.
Even he couldn't help but be excited about how many benefits it would bring to reproduce an evolutionary path with a very high ceiling.
Perhaps the comeback of the Mechanics Association can one day reach a level comparable to the three major civilizations.
The three chatted for a while, and finally decided to let Reynolds keep the prototype. Although Mikhail thought Reynolds was a fool, he also believed in his character.
More than ten days later, when the fleet returned to the main channel of the Red River Star Stream and headed deeper, Mikhail discovered something abnormal.
"This kind of energy property has never been found inside the Red River star stream before."
He captured some black energy fluid and studied it carefully in the battleship's laboratory. He was quite surprised: "This energy seems to be able to swallow other energy and matter, thereby continuously expanding, and it is extremely corrosive..."
Li Ming and Reynolds were both there, looking at the thin stream of energy like a black snake. In just a moment, cracks appeared on the glass jar storing the energy fluid.
Mikhail frowned slightly. On the operating table, four metal probes spurted out blazing energy flows. It took a long time to barely erase the black substance.
"The energy consumed is more than a hundred times its own magnitude." Mikhail couldn't help but said solemnly: "Now, the depths of the Red River star stream are almost entirely filled with this energy material."
"It should be due to the impact of the Red River Disaster..." Reynolds muttered, quite curious, "I don't know what it is..."
"It shouldn't be a normal ruin or ruin..." Mikhail speculated as he looked at the cracked glass jar.
………
At the same time, in the core area, where the giant's corpse was, there were spacecraft of various types scattered on the ocean-like black material, collecting all kinds of information.
There were many battleship wreckage floating around, as if they had experienced a great battle.
However, there was nothing near the giant corpse in the center. It seemed that no spaceship could get close to it.
"It's incredible..." Mental fluctuations echoed here, and a burly figure floated above the giant's head, with a majestic expression, wearing purple metal armor, looking down at the corpse below, with incredible eyes.
"Tandin, you have lamented this many times..." Someone responded, wearing a white-gold robe, holding a slender golden scepter, with a young face, white hair and golden eyes.
"No matter how many times you feel this emotion, it's never enough." Tandin shook his head, "The body of a Dominator-level Terrax man is so complete and perfect. Do you know what it means, Alvis?"
"Of course I know, that's why we are here." Alves smiled, Tandin raised his head, and their eyes met and then moved away.
"Yes, the last time the two of us met was probably more than two thousand years ago, right?" Tan Ding said calmly.
"Two thousand one hundred and thirty-two years..." Alves nodded, "To strangle...an old friend."
"You remember it clearly." Tan Ding crossed his fists, his eyes gradually burning, "But this time, we are witnessing another peak of the road of evolution."
"The appearance of this corpse will solve many problems for us."
The path of genetic evolution has been stagnant for too long, as if it has reached its limit, but everyone knows that it is absolutely impossible.
But they have never been able to find the correct evolutionary path.
"Yeah..." Alves also looked down, but Tandin said with unclear meaning: "Unfortunately, you are not on the path of genetic evolution."
Alves' expression calmed down slightly and he responded calmly: "So what, I remember that you seem to have seven X-level gene seeds in your body."
"However, according to some speculations, the path of genetic evolution does not seem to follow this way."
Tan Ding's expression paused slightly, and there was some tension between the two of them, but then he responded in a nonchalant manner: "It doesn't matter, just think of it as paving the way for others."
"Who isn't?" Alves smiled and took the initiative to reveal it, "It's just that this corpse appears a little strange."
"The duration of this Red River disaster was relatively short. I originally thought it was just some insignificant ruins of civilization."
"Besides, there are people who will appear here earlier and faster than us."
The two people's eyes met at one point, which was the giant's left arm, which was missing, and the cracks at the wound were clearly visible.
Tandin's expression darkened, the trauma destroying the integrity of the body.
He had thought it was the injuries the body was already carrying.
However, after testing, we learned that the scar occurred no more than a month ago, or maybe even less.
He said solemnly: "Even if there are many advanced life forms active in the depths of the Red River Star Current due to the recent incident in the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization, they cannot easily come here."
"Besides, it's a bit strange to have the ability to remove an arm but not have the ability to take the body away."
This is the corpse of a Dominator-level Terraxian. Even the skin is incredibly hard, and even they cannot cause damage that easily.
Not to mention the deeper bones, which are much harder than skin and muscles.
