Chapter 96: Taking stock of the horror of own scroll king
[Thunder Equipment Ball] requires control no matter how high the metal energy is. After all, it is the cornerstone of developing gene seeds, and its ability will not be superimposed with other abilities.
Seventy thousand metal energy was lost. Looking at the balance of metal energy, Li Ming sighed again, it was like running water.
With the addition of 180,000 metal energy, there is only a fraction left.
Just in time to unlock another control column, Li Ming took this opportunity to carefully review the things he controlled.
The most important ones are four pairs of D-level shoes, [Fusion Particles], [Tan Guard 211], [Constructed Crystal Shield], [Justice Gloves], [Thunder Exoskeleton]...
Low-level items cannot Upward blessing, but most of the objects he controls are D-level and do not need to be upgraded for the time being, except for commonly used smart terminals.
On weekdays, he uses this thing to detect surveillance probes and remove traces left behind. It has been upgraded as his life level increases.
It doesn't take much to upgrade this thing. Now it only costs 3,000 points to upgrade to D, so sprinkle it on.
[Starlink Terminal Advanced Edition - Class D: The seventh-generation smart terminal produced by Cathay Company, with complete functions
...
Control effect: Hacking technology - advanced
Control ability - intelligent assistance: can mimic environmental information within 50m of the host and assist in processing. 】
The hacking technology has subsequently improved to a considerable level. In the future, there is no need to rely on the cracking software he wrote before. The field expands to a 50m full field of view.
Now this thing is only about the size of a palm, like a thin metal plate, controlled by a pop-up virtual screen.
He thought about it, the cost of upgrading to C level was too high, it could be tens of thousands, tens of thousands, even tens or hundreds of thousands, it would not necessarily make a splash.
The people in the laboratory are almost worried about him. Last month, he spent 8 million alone.
When Luo Chuan delivered the things just now, the look in his eyes made him want to eat him alive. He hesitated to speak several times, which should have something to do with this matter.
Of course, his terrifying development progress is enough to overshadow all of this.
After listening to the lectures of those professors a few days ago, he realized that there are many obstacles that hinder the evolution of living organisms.
The difficulty of developing high-level gene seeds will increase. After the gene seeds are developed to a certain level, the development difficulty will also increase.
Not only that, your own cells also experience iteration and weakness.
Countless laboratories and research institutes are dedicated to solving or alleviating this problem, and the development potential of life forms themselves will weaken these evolutionary resistances.
People with extremely average development potential, even if they pile up resources at any cost, can only pile up C-level life forms at most, and it will be difficult to continue to improve.
The development rate will drop to an outrageous speed and the potential will be exhausted.
This also made him realize that external detection devices had misjudged his development potential.
The so-called development potential is a certain factor hidden deeper in genes, an interstellar detection device.
At least most of the testing equipment he came into contact with could not be detected and could only be judged by the apparent development speed.
There is actually a difference between the development potential that the outside world thinks and the development speed that he perceives.
After Li Ming realized this problem at that time, he didn't have any special reaction. Anyway, he was just smashing metal energy. The terrifying development speed could overwhelm everything else.
Now he has five control bars. If they are all filled up, the genetic radiator, plus the [Thunder Scorching Equipment Ball], the development blessing can reach 18 times.
“So, it should be no problem to get some from the laboratory.” Li Ming muttered, glanced at the smart terminal, and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows: “Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.”
< br>Zhang Huaiyuan is here again.
…………
“Senior, where is Brother Ming?” Zhang Huaiyuan greeted the laboratory staff familiarly as they unloaded the iron boxes one by one.
Then he handed them a cigarette one by one. After two or three visits, he became familiar with most of the people here.
Li Ruoning hesitated to speak. He looked at the large iron boxes in front of him and remembered Luo Chuan's expression at the morning meeting.
"You should be resting, no, here we come." Li Ruoning looked at the boxes being moved down in front of him and said with a forced smile.
Zhang Huaiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he trotted all the way, "Brother Ming."
His attitude seemed to be more eager and respectful, and it was not without reason.
After he told Li Ming what happened to several people last time, it didn't take long for everyone's troubles to disappear.
Originally Zhang Huaiyuan was not sure whether this incident had anything to do with Li Ming.
But within a few days, the senior officials of the local city guard came to the door and revealed in words that the troubles they encountered were all caused by Bian Li.
And that Bian Li died the day after he found Li Ming.
He wasn't sure if there was any relationship between the two, but it probably wasn't a coincidence.
"Three million flame blue alloys." He pointed to the boxes and said, "They are all in here."
"Yes." Li Ming nodded, and Li Ruoning walked over to her. She was now Some were afraid of taking Zhang Huaiyuan to the finance room again.
Li Ruoning couldn't help but ask: "Have the millions of development materials I bought a few times in the past been used up so quickly?"
"That's almost it. You're prepared." Li Ming said casually .
Li Ruoning nodded reluctantly and led Zhang Huaiyuan to the finance room in a daze.
Three million flame blue alloys can provide him with approximately 50,000 points of metal energy.
Now fifty thousand points of metal energy can only barely return blood. Li Ming shook his head helplessly.
In the middle of the afternoon, Li Ming came out of the exercise room. The E-level gene refining potion had been used.
“Now the basic energy level can reach about 6D, and the combat skills of low-life gene seeds are not that huge for high-level gene seeds.”
“But combined with the controlled object explosion, it also exceeds 30D. , and I have just integrated it. After a little development, even if I only cross the 30% threshold, I will be able to compete with the development progress 100%.”
"Hmm..." Li Ming shook his head: "Others also have the blessing of combat skills. A conservative estimate is that 50% should be enough to be invincible."
Of course, the D-level life form he used to measure himself must be fused as well. The top batch of D-level gene seeds.
Ordinary D-level gene seeds, which have just been fused, can hardly even reach the energy level evaluation standard of the D suffix, and are not included in the measurement range.
Looking at the time, it was already approaching two o'clock. Today is the day to go to Professor Xia's laboratory to observe and study.
Professor Xia, whose original name is Xia Yuanlun, mainly studies advanced mechanical structures, and his mentor Ding Hui in the mechanical engineering major is his student.
There should be many mechanical creations in his laboratory, so Li Ming was interested and made preparations early.
......
A huge palace made of metal machinery stands on the island. Its surface is bronze and it is more than 200 meters high and has three peaks.
The highest one in the middle has a huge metal dial hanging at the same time. The three thick hands of hours, minutes and seconds are not stopping at all. The gears are engaged and the division of labor is precise. The time on it is no different from that on the smart terminal, one minute. One cent. With the eyesight blessed by Li Ming [Mechanical Engineer], it can be seen that this metal dial is not powered by an external energy source.
With this mechanical palace as the center, there are many small buildings scattered around, all of which are full of heavy industrial style, and some even have thick chimneys.
It should be just a decoration. Blue Star's smoke treatment technology is enough to make people invisible to the smoke.
The island's transportation mainly relies on rugged armored vehicles, each of which is very unique and seems to have been individually modified. The air is filled with the smell of exhaust gas and metal.
At the same time, you can also see statues carved from various alloys.
This place does not look advanced, but rather a bit declining.
"I didn't expect Professor Xia to be kind on the outside, but also quite wild on the inside." Li Ming looked around and couldn't help but sigh. The architectural style of the laboratory can clearly show the personality tendencies of its owner.
“Professor Xia was an avid fan of death heavy metal when he was young.” Qi Xing said from the side. “He is more interested in nostalgic technology. It looks like Blue Star has not yet entered the interstellar era... No, Longer technology."
Li Ming nodded.
Three of the ten people did not come and were not very interested in mechanical aspects.
It is worth mentioning that Nuo Xing is here. She is wearing a bright blue waist skirt that hangs down to her ankles. Her slender waist is not enough to be grasped. In her usually calm eyes, there is actually a trace of emotion at this moment. Curiosity and scrutiny.
Professor Xia's assistant was waiting at the door and led them inside.
“I said, you can’t hide and exercise secretly this time, right?” On the way, Qi Xing came over.
"Misunderstood, I was really not interested in drinking last time." Li Ming explained.
Rosser added: "When you are exercising, remember to tell me."
Li Ming was speechless, why did Rosser, a thick-browed man with big eyes, also join in the fun.
"Now you know how much of a shock we were when we opened the door and saw the development medicine in your quilt." Qi Xing said sadly
If Li Ming had developed and exercised normally, they would have been fine. It feels special, but in that special situation, the feeling is different
“I would even rather the person lying under the quilt is Nuo Xing”
Nuo Xing heard several people talking coldly Glancing over, Qi Xing immediately raised his hand and said:
"Nuo Xing, you don't know, last time you left early, this guy was half-drinking and secretly ran to the room to develop gene seeds."< br>
Nuo Xing was stunned for a moment, with a bit of disbelief in her big eyes. She even forgot Qi Xing's teasing to her
"King Juan, it's really King Juan. We dare not rest for a moment." Qi Xing complained. Said
"Old Qi, you care about me so much. When I fuse the D-level gene seeds, I will be the first to tell you." Li Ming said angrily.
"Damn! Don't irritate me." Qi Xing yelled, and then said: "This guy has a brain attack. He chose mechanics as his auxiliary major, and he has to take professional courses, otherwise we will have no chance of survival. ”
He doesn’t know? Li Ming was surprised, thinking that they all knew that he had passed the examination.
Also...they are exposed to bigger things, and if they don't pay special attention, they won't know about it.
Nuo Xing glanced at them and twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he knew something, but he quickly stopped and remained expressionless.
“Oh, Li Ming!?”
As soon as they entered the metal hall in the center of the island, they heard someone shouting.
Li Ming felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had heard it before. He turned around and saw a person running towards him with an excited expression.
"Teacher Ding?" Li Ming was surprised.
The person who came was none other than Ding Hui, his professional course teacher.
"Why are you here?" Li Ming said a few words and couldn't help but ask.
Although Ding Hui is Professor Xia's student, he still has his own things to do under normal circumstances.
“A senior brother took an order from Bi City Guards and encountered some troubles, so he called us all over.” Ding Hui explained casually and glanced at the crowd, “You are here to observe and learn. ”
Seeing a few people nodding, Ding Hui pondered for a moment, looked at Li Ming, his eyes brightened, and said to the assistant next to him: "Xiao Liu, you go ahead and do your work. I will take them there."
" Let's go, the teacher is over there." He led a few people forward and walked through the corridor, with hollow mechanical gear structures on both sides.
As he walked, he asked Li Ming: "You have nothing to do this afternoon? Stay here and do me a favor."
"Professor Xia can still use me here?" Li Ming shook his head.
"What you are saying is that with multiple people and multiple brains, the teacher will not care about these small projects, not to mention that your level is not lower than mine..." Ding Hui advised, but he hadn't finished speaking yet. , was interrupted by a startled shout.
"What did you say?"
Qi Xing came up to him with a look of disbelief on his face, "This Teacher Ding, you said his level is not lower than yours? What level?"
How is Rother? Everyone also looked over.
"Of course it is at the level of mechanical engineering, what else can it be?" Ding Hui asked curiously.
Qi Xing had a constipated expression on his face, and the others looked at each other in shock.
Ding Hui can be a professional teacher, so his level goes without saying, but what about Li Ming? He hasn't even finished compulsory education, but his level is actually on par with Ding Hui?
There are other explanations for developing potential. After all, it is innate, but how can such knowledge be accumulated?
How could such a heaven-defying guy jump out of that corner of Silver Gray Star?
"What a fuss, haven't you seen a genius?" Ding Hui opened his mouth. It was finally his turn to say this.
"I..." Qi Xing took a breath, then suddenly realized something, and widened his eyes: "His level is almost the same as yours, so why does he still need to take your lessons?"
"Of course not. He passed my assessment in the first class and he won't be here this year." Ding Hui said matter-of-factly.
"Passed the first lesson?" Qi Xing murmured: "That means you exercise in Professor Wu's laboratory every morning?"
"Absolutely." Li Ming nod.
Qi Xing had a look of pain on his face, "Why didn't you tell us?"
"I thought you were well-informed, and you already knew it."
"I..." Qi Xing opened his mouth but said nothing. Who has time to pay attention to the unpopular profession of machine building
Zhao Jingan's face turned dark, no, I can't sleep tonight.
Rosser’s eyes were dark and he couldn’t sleep this week.
"I know." A cold and ethereal voice sounded, and Nuo Xing spoke: "The machine-building major was in a fuss that day, but no one paid attention to this major."
How about Rosser? Of course, people didn't pay attention either. What they cared more about was not Li Ming's mechanical engineering level, but Li Ming's theoretical development and training time, which exceeded expectations.
Several people were in low spirits and wanted to go back and exercise hard right away, but they had already reached the door and Professor Xia was inside. It was not good if they didn't go in.
