Chapter 224 The approaching combined fleet
“Is it true?” Li Ming was surprised and looked Thiago up and down, “You don’t seem to be qualified to raise conditions.”
Thiago’s face turned slightly. Change, just about to grit his teeth and say something, but heard Li Ming continue: "But tell me, if it is really important to me, I can promise you."
Thiago hesitated slightly, But he had no choice. He could only hope that the other party would keep his promise and said solemnly: "The combined fleet should arrive in the land of stars soon."
"Huh? Combined fleet?" Li Ming His expression was slightly condensed and his brows were furrowed, "Are you sure?"
"I have the latest news. The United Fleet is still docked near the North Burr Interstellar Icefield, and someone has photographed Asmara. Don't tell me it's just some kind of holographic image. Is there any evidence?"
In Silver Star Cluster, secretly there are countless gray forces staring at the United Fleet, fearing that the other party will fall on them.
If it was just some kind of large-scale holographic image arranged, it would be impossible to hide it.
"This is my speculation, there is no evidence..." Thiago took a breath, and Li Ming's eyes became colder: "Don't worry, I have plenty of time to play with you."
"I heard that the way the Duke Bugs reproduce is to place their eggs in other life forms. In the interstellar era, they clone ordinary beasts on a large scale and use them as nests."
"But there have always been rumors that the higher the level of the parasitic life form, the higher the development potential of the offspring. I also heard that a clutch of eggs from a Duke insect can give birth to dozens of offspring..."
The horrific scene suddenly appeared in Thiago's mind, which made him numb all over. He even ignored the pain in his body and said hurriedly: "Listen to my explanation first."
"I will tell everyone I am not familiar with the Land of Stars. The entire plan was designated by Asmara. They planned an escape route for me and set the coordinates."
"If the plan succeeds, we will send you there. That coordinate location is a blank star field. The senior officials speculate that she values you so much that she may personally accept it."
"Although the entire combined fleet has not come, perhaps some of the elite have already gone ahead. .”
Hearing this, Li Ming rubbed his chin. Thiago's speculation sounded reasonable, but it was also possible that Asmara's men were waiting at the coordinates.
“Given how much Asmara values you, she will definitely come to receive it in person.” Thiago emphasized.
Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly and he was thinking. In fact, he had had this premonition before. It was just that Theo had been paying attention to the combined fleet and claimed that there was no movement, so he relaxed some of his vigilance.
If Asmara abandons some of her people and comes lightly packed, the possibility is indeed very high.
As for Asmara who appeared on the battlefield, it is most likely a holographic projection. It is difficult to disguise a large fleet, but it is difficult to tell whether a personal projection is true or false.
If that's the case... A little urgency arose in his heart.
Even if it is not a large unit of the combined fleet, the people brought by Asmara cannot be underestimated. The number of A-level life forms cannot be small.
"It's time to run away..." Li Ming had this idea before, and he had even found his next home, which was the Torch Organization.
However, Asmara used Ford's account to interfere, and the Torch Organization has been dragging its feet without a clear response, so he can only stay here for the time being.
“Don’t worry, I will fulfill my promise.” Li Ming brushed aside the anxious Thiago, who was relieved and watched Li Ming leave.
Thiago closed his eyes, his eyelids trembling, and carefully felt the changes in his body.
A few minutes later, Li Ming called Ulrich and others together and informed him of the news he had received from Thiago.
"March in secret?" Theo frowned and flicked on the smart terminal in his hand.
Ulrich's face was full of uneasiness, "Did Thiago say when she set off?"
"About twenty days ago." Li Ming pondered. , if Asmara was really marching in secret, she would have already set off as soon as she saw his mecha.
"Twenty days ago?" Ulrich's face became even more ugly, and he pulled out the star map from the smart terminal, "Twenty days ago they were in the Hibbert galaxy, only ten days away from the nearest ancient Asian civilization with a jump star gate. . ”
“If they jump to the Bavarol civilization, which is closest to the Land of Stars, and then sail there, it will take a month.”
“Calculate the time, slow down. If it is, it will take ten days. If it is faster, we can arrive in five days."
Theo's eyes fell on Li Ming and said solemnly: "You mean, Asmara is not only secretly there. They sent people to ambush you and sent out elites to come to the Land of Stars in advance?”
“She seems to be really eager for you. Can you tell us why?”
Ulrich also looked over, and Li Ming helplessly spread his hands: "Guys, what we should discuss now is how to deal with the current situation, rather than internal strife."
"To deal with the situation, you must also know why, Ah Smara is not particularly interested in you," Theo continued. Ulrich hesitated and did not join in the questioning.
Sandro crossed his hands and made a loud sound, "Isn't the arrival of the combined fleet already expected? It's just an early evacuation, why should we care so much."
"Shut up." Tai Ao scolded that it was not this matter that he cared about, but the hidden meaning behind it.
Asmara is so eager and sees something they don't see, which may cause unusual trouble.
"Are you worried?" Li Ming asked, indifferently: "Actually, the solution is very simple, just go our separate ways."
"Asmara is only interested in me, why do you have to bother me? He's looking at me."
"No." Ulrich shook his head for the first time. Although he was slightly uneasy, he had already noticed that Qinglong had the idea of using them. After all, there were not many opportunities to coerce three A-level life forms. .
But it is impossible to part ways at the moment. The sunk costs and losses are too great, and we can no longer get out. We must see the benefits.
Sandro also shook his head, "No, no, I'm still counting on you to get something."
Theo frowned. The people behind him would not allow him to leave the great mechanic and could only remain silent.
"In that case, don't think about it so much." Li Ming smiled, "I suggest that we leave here as soon as possible."
He has no interest in staying and confronting Asmara head-on. , finding a place to continue developing is his best choice.
"I have the same idea. Let's leave today and prepare immediately." Ulrich nodded. All his wealth is in this castle, and leaving is just a matter of words.
“So fast?” Sandro was stunned and said hurriedly: “I have to go back and pack up my fleet.”
"Go back, no one will stop you." Ulrich glanced at him.
Sandro snorted coldly, his face ashen, how could he leave at this moment.
Because he didn't go back during this period, his territory was severely encroached on, and his subordinates were already resentful.
Although he can issue orders through the smart terminal to temporarily hide them, it is not certain whether these fleets still belong to him when he comes back. This is the case with the predators.
Loyalty is just a joke.
"What did the Torch Organization say? They haven't let go yet?" Li Ming asked.
Theo said lightly: "It should be soon. The main reason is that the big mechanics have different opinions. This battle is also a demonstration of your technical level." "Do you want to inform others? ?" Ulrich asked, "The Land of Stars has always advanced and retreated together." Sandro said grumpily. My territory is almost being eaten away.”
“It’s really not necessary this time.” Theo also shook his head, “We have discussed before that the Land of Stars may not be able to survive this time.”
Ulrich nodded, seeming a little emotional, and then quickly went to arrange the evacuation.
This is Ulrich's territory, so naturally he leaves in his spaceship.
Theo's men are all mercenaries, with good or bad reputations. They are not wanted in many civilizations. They can go to other star clusters and stay without being affected.
Ulrich suffered a relatively large loss not long ago, so he didn’t have much to take away, so he secretly ordered Cassis to pack it up, and it took most of a day to sort it out.
While making arrangements in an orderly manner, Li Ming found Ulrich mysteriously and asked, "Do you have any self-destruction devices here?"
Ulrich hesitated and whispered: "Yes, there are a batch of large-yield explosive nuclear reaction bombs buried deep underground."
Li Ming's eyes brightened slightly, and then he heard Ulrich continue: "I Knowing what you want to do, Asmara will definitely prepare a signal shielding device when he lands on the island. It will be difficult to determine their location, and it will be even harder to detonate it from the outside."
"Then leave someone to detonate it from the inside. "Li Ming added.
Ulrich was helpless, "There are too many variables. I don't trust the people under my command."
"Do you have to tell them the truth?" Li Ming shook his head and muttered for a while. , Ulrich's eyes changed, "You are so shady."
He turned around and ordered: "Call Brown."
Sandro's face looked ugly until the moment before boarding the spacecraft.
There are still many good things in his lair, but there are only a few people under his control who can be called confidants, and he doesn’t know how many he can keep in the end.
......
Unknown land, Torch Organization headquarters, core laboratory, this place is extremely vast, with a large number of experimenters coming and going, and large experimental instruments running non-stop.
In the center position, on the metal experimental table, is an instrument half a person's height. Opened from the center, the internal metal structure is extremely precise, and bright blue energy flows.
The top is a 3D image that is constantly rotating. Jesiah stands aside, with his hands open, and the 3D image is enlarged. It seems to be some kind of physical drawing.
Comparing the drawings, the items on the metal plate seem to be only a small part.
"The 1437th time energy transmission failed, the third spectrometer detected unknown spectrum energy, recording..."
"The 2345th time the material properties detection failed, unable to match the corresponding properties of the drawing, continue to try the alloy Proportion…”
The sound of various failed experiments kept coming, and Jesiah had become accustomed to it.
"Idiot, the wave color value should be between 2γ and 3Ψ, otherwise it will cause thermal expansion!"
"A bunch of waste, brainless things!"
< br>Deyes's face turned red and he roared angrily. The Torch experimenters were scolded as useless and seemed hopeless.
"Deyes..." Jesiah frowned, "The bioalloy obviously has nothing to do with the wave color value. Who knows how the sublimate is synthesized? It's useless for you to scold him."
Deyes snorted, "It's been three months, and there's only such a small amount of progress. I'm afraid it won't be done in another three years. If we bring our experimental team here, we can speed up the process."
< br>"There are too many people, and it is impossible for the Torch Organization to agree. Besides, there is a simpler solution." Jesiah's voice was calm, and he just kept rotating the drawings in front of him to control the details.
“You want to talk about the great mechanic Qinglong again, right?” Deyes’ face darkened, “I have already said that it is just your own speculation. Even if he is highly skilled, he may not be able to Solve our problem."
"What if there is still no progress after inviting him here? And his origin is not clear, this is a bomb!"
Jay! Seiya shook his head. Except for him, the other two great mechanics disapproved of Qinglong's coming.
"Deyes, you are just afraid that he will share your benefits. I know you want to see if there are any materials in the Ascendant ruins to build a star-casting weapon."
Deyes was exposed. , didn't care, "So what?"
Jessiah said indifferently: "If we can't build this thing, we won't even be able to get in."
"Said Let the Torch Organization bring our team here, their people are unbearable..." Deyes frowned and paused mid-sentence.
The experimenters around him retreated to both sides. Jesiah turned back and nodded slightly: "Your Excellency Konite."
The person who came was none other than the leader of the Torch. He looked around at the three great mechanics and said, "We have decided to send the great mechanic Qinglong, as well as the three A-class life forms Theo, Ulrich, and Sandro."
"What?" Deyes immediately stopped and shouted: "Cornet, are you having a seizure?"
Conit looked calm: "Your Excellency Deyes, The slow progress is obvious to all. No one can get in if we don't think of a way." "If we can't do anything, he is sure there is a way?" Deyes said anxiously.
Konit didn’t say anything, he just opened the smart terminal, created a virtual projection, and played a battle video.
This time, the picture is obviously clearer and seems to have undergone auxiliary processing.
He briefly introduced: "Not long ago, the A-level life form Tiago ambushed the Lord Qinglong, but was captured."
"Oh?" Jesiah came and observed carefully. , Deyes looked slightly stunned.
"In this battle, he displayed a second A-level combat mecha, and he was also assisted by an A-level combat mecha, both of which require extremely high technical content." Kony Special way.
These mechanics are strictly prohibited from contacting the outside world. They can only get information from Konite.
"This mecha..." Benny, a taciturn old mechanic, came up and observed carefully. When he saw the mecha resisting Thiago's attack, his voice was surprised:
"Can resist EMP electromagnetic interference. , where did he find this kind of nanomaterial, it seems to be stronger than the previous one. "
The construction of the combat mecha is the most complicated among the items of the same level, and it also shows the best level.
"Obviously biased toward defense, without any weapon modules, and also a follower of the "Fiers theory."" Benny looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but said: "The Fiers theory believes that due to performance limitations, a single Combat mechas should not have both."
Deyes's face changed slightly, and when the silver combat mecha broke into the battlefield and showed its combat strength, Jesiah suddenly became excited: "This, How is this possible! ”
