This is not mechanical ascension.

After a night of calculation, the next morning, Li Ming looked at the time and went out at his usual time. He ran into Ulrich head-on. Judging from his direction, he should have just come out of Theo's room.

Ulrich nodded slightly, and the two greeted each other without saying much, passing by each other.

Li Ming looked a little distracted, and was still thinking about another thing.

The main function of the Tanlomon biological sublimator is to increase the concentration of sublimated particles in the body of a living being, not to allow a person to possess sublimated particles out of thin air.

The meanings of the two are completely different, according to the information he has learned so far.

The condition for opening the core ruins is that a living being with a sublimated particle concentration that reaches a certain standard is required.

Since there are only three core ruins, the opening standard must be very high, and it must be a high-level one in the former sublimator civilization.

That's why the sublimator is needed as an auxiliary tool.

The Torch Organization is working hard to make the sublimator here, but if they don't have a life form with sublimation particles, even if they make the sublimator, it will probably be useless.

"I don't know if the Torch Organization knows this news..." Li Ming pondered secretly.

The Torch Organization didn't even know the name of the sublimator before, and probably didn't know its function.

It's just based on the information collected, it is believed that this thing has the ability to open the Sublimator Ruins, so it will be built first.

"But it's hard to say, they got it from Asmara's laboratory. Even if some of the information was destroyed during the attack, there must be some people who are afraid of death. There can't be no relevant information and speculation at all." Li Ming speculated all the way.

"Does Asmara have it? Hmm... I don't think I've heard of it. Maybe the Xingyuan Empire has it..."

In the core laboratory, the other three great mechanics have started working, and one of the three core nodes of the sublimator has been broken.

Now they are preparing to start the second core node, which is not easy.

In order to avoid colliding with Qinglong, Deyes deliberately moved up the time to go out today.

"Mr. Benny, the liquid nanofluid is almost consumed. Remember to report to the Torch Organization and ask them to provide it." Deyes walked over to the glass jar with only a thin layer of golden liquid left.

"I notified the Torch Organization yesterday. They asked us to wait a little. The consumption speed is too fast and the reserves are insufficient. They are urgently mobilizing." Benny raised his head and explained.

"Too fast consumption?" Deyes snorted coldly, "Most of the data of the items we made is missing. The manufacturing of key parts can only be done by trial and error with liquid nano. Is this fast?"

"The laboratory under my command consumes more liquid nano in a month."

Benny comforted with a little helplessness: "They are not complaining, but they didn't expect our recent progress to be so fast. Aren't they calling for it?"

"The preparations are not done well." Deyes sneered.

Benny didn't know why Deyes was so angry, and sighed: "It's mainly because they recently purchased a large number of various materials, and the related consumption is also very large."

"Huh?" Jesse, who was just working hard, looked over and was immediately confused: "How do you know?"

Deyes was also very curious. Everyone was under house arrest in this area. How did Benny seem to know more than them?

"I learned it from other experimenters." Benny didn't care and lowered his voice: "You are too lazy to talk to them. I talk to them more and stay in the laboratory often. Over time, they will leak some information."

The three people were in the core area, where various magnetic fields intertwined and the sound was easily disturbed. The people were also busy, and his voice was not heard by others.

Deyes' eyes flickered slightly, and he looked around at the experimenters. He had been a big mechanic for a long time, so he was naturally too lazy to deal with these little people.

Benny lowered his voice: "I guess the Torch Organization should be preparing for war. Once this thing is manufactured and goes to open the core ruins, it may cause a large-scale war."

Deyes' eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed unconcerned: "As long as the operation is secret, it will be fine. The Red River Star Stream is unpredictable. Who can guarantee that the core ruins can be guarded without any mistakes?"

The three discussed for a while. Because they have been isolated from the world for too long, they have very little information and did not discuss it to the end.

"Forget it, let's figure it out." Benny smiled bitterly, "The progress has reached 32%, and one of the three core nodes has been solved."

"However, the next one is more troublesome. The next core node seems to use a completely different energy conduction technology. The beam energy conducted from the first core undergoes more than 3,600 conversions."

"I used the data from the previous core node to make inferences, and the result is that none of them can adapt to the energy conduction of this node."

"Sir Deyes, you..." He looked tentatively.

"I'm ready..." Deyes seemed very casual, and took out four palm-sized, rectangular green metal objects from the pocket of his lab coat.

"What is this?" Benny took it and looked at it carefully for a long time. He only felt that the material was delicate and exquisite, but he couldn't see the specific function.

Deyes smiled: "This is a special technology that I have exclusively studied. Sir Benny, guess what the specific function is?"

The relationship between the two of them is pretty good, or it can be said that Benny has a good relationship with everyone and is a good guy.

"Me?" Benny smiled bitterly and looked down for a long time without seeing any clues. "Any hints?"

On the other side, Jesiah was also holding a green metal block in his hand, and he was studying it carefully. A virtual screen popped up on the surface, and there were metal probes in the four corners, but there were no clues.

Deyes' eyes swept over Jesiah vaguely, and he snorted secretly.

A mechanically modified body, a great mechanic who takes shortcuts. He is at the bottom of the contempt chain of mechanics and has the lowest gold content.

Deyes did not deliberately embarrass Benny, and immediately said: "I named it a multiple energy simulator. Its main function is to simulate complex-level energy conduction. It can simulate up to 10,000 conversions of a single energy bundle."

"Oh?" Benny was surprised, and then praised: "As expected of Mr. Deyes, the second core at least diverts more than 3,000 kinds of sub-energy from the energy bundle generated by the first core. Without this thing, even if Even if there is core data, we may not be able to deduce it.”

A hint of pride flashed across Deyes's face, but he quickly calmed down: "I applied for a special patent right in the Star Alliance, please don't deduce it in reverse, Mr. Benny."

"Haha..." Benny smiled helplessly, "If you hadn't told me the specific function, I might not have been able to figure it out, let alone derive it in reverse?"

The great mechanics are not all-rounders, they each have their own areas of expertise, while Benny is better at materials science and only passes the mark on energy science.

Jesiah remained silent, only feeling that Deyes' laughter was harsh, but I have to say that this thing is really easy to use, with multiple energy simulations, you can quickly select the energy that matches the characteristics.

In low- and intermediate-level civilizations, it can be described as an artifact.

While Deyes and Benny were chatting, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the mechanical door behind them.

Deyes, who was originally smiling and about to say something, suddenly stopped, his expression immediately became expressionless.

"Your Excellency Qinglong." Benny glanced at Deyes and greeted.

"Everyone is here quite early." Li Ming responded familiarly. He had already reached the core area and was sitting at his work station.

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and picked it up immediately, "This thing..."

Jesiah's mechanical pupils glanced over the expressionless Deyes' face, and he was ready to explain.

He didn't want to see that disgusting expression of pride and restraint, arrogance and calmness on Deyes' face.

However, Benny took a step ahead of him and said: "This is..."

"Energy simulator?" Li Ming had already picked up the green metal block and looked at the array, quite surprised.

[Multiple Energy Simulator - Level B: A special item that can perform multiple energy simulations.

Control conditions: 300,000 metal energy

Control effect: Elemental blessing--100%

Control ability - energy simulation: The elemental energy controlled by oneself can be converted into other energies that it has come into contact with.

(Note: There is loss in conversion, please note)]

Full elemental blessing? Energy simulation? The effect of this thing is really rare.

He couldn't help but look at the astonished Benny in surprise, "Sir Benny, did you make this?"

"Devices specifically used to channel energy are quite rare."

"I didn't make this." Benny was helpless, comparing each other to each other, which made him very angry. He didn't expect Qinglong to be able to see its effect at a glance.

"This is made by Mr. Deyes." Benny pointed to Deyes.

"Oh?" Li Ming admired even more: "His Excellency Deyes is really amazing."

Deyes had a cold face and managed a smile as a response.

He didn't want to use this thing to make Qinglong look embarrassed. Now this small trick has no meaning.

However, the other party could see the effect after a little thought, which still surprised him.

"With this thing, the speed of conquering the second core node should be much faster." Li Ming couldn't help but say.

Benny agreed, and the others started working in a tacit understanding without saying anything.

After talking for a while, Benny brought up the matter of materials again, "I heard that the amount of materials purchased by the Torch Organization is quite large."

"You think, if a fight breaks out, do we have to take action?"

"Material, what material?" Li Ming caught the key word and couldn't help but look up.

Benny briefly explained it to him, and Li Ming suddenly became interested, "Is it made of metal?"

Metal material equals metal energy, and he is very sensitive to this kind of news.

"It should be..." Benny nodded, "Probably manufacturing warships or weapons."

"Oh..." Li Ming's originally aroused interest was extinguished again.

Most of the metal materials used to build battleships are relatively common, but the materials are extremely large in quantity. It is very inconvenient for him to absorb them.

"If the two sides really fight, we will definitely join the war." Deyes pointed out unceremoniously, "The Torch Organization has a good plan. It seems that we are just making sublimators for them."

"But the benefits we deserve can only be obtained after the Torch Organization opens the core ruins. If they fail, we will naturally have nothing and will be forced to help them."

"Alas..." Benny sighed, "I don't know what the specific situation is outside. It would be fine if there is only the combined fleet of the Etlan civilization, but if there are others and even the Star Abyss Empire..."

He shook his head but didn't finish his words.

Deyes didn't say a word. He had now jumped off the broken ship of the Torch Organization. Looking at the others, he naturally felt proud.

"Benny is a pretty good guy. If he knows what's best for him, he can ask Asmara to spare his life." He pondered in his heart, and then added: "Work for me..."

An hour passed quickly, but since today was the beginning of the derivation of the second core node, there were many difficulties, so Li Ming stayed here for another hour before leaving the laboratory.

The last contact with Asmara allowed Deyes to obtain more detailed data, and he would make key suggestions from time to time.

"It's time for Deyes to appear." On the way back, Li Ming was thinking about this.

In his plan, he would now put all kinds of clues on Deyes to avoid presenting all the evidence for the last time, which would be too abrupt.

Pierre is a useful chess piece, and Connet has recently asked him to check the internal data.

With a little guidance from himself, he can let him find the clues.

Back in the room, after waiting for a while, he sent out the Thunder Guards,

Tossed around, and finally carefully hid in Pierre's shadow.

In the office, Pierre was concentrating on the data on the screen, which contained the total amount of data input by the Torch Organization.

"Why did they suddenly install surveillance?"

In the shadows, Li Ming did not take out the mechanical pocket watch immediately, but was a little surprised.

Four not-too-obvious surveillance probes were installed at the four corners of the room.

However, using [Intelligent Assistance] to scan the map has become his muscle memory.

"It didn't happen last time. Could this guy have found some clues?" Li Ming guessed that it was not impossible.

Hypnosis is just a skill. Compared with the ability to directly change memory, erase memory, or even implant the subconscious mind, it seems too insignificant and can easily be discovered.

As long as you pay a little attention, you can find that you have forgotten the memory for a period of time.

"Well, maybe this is not bad news..." Li Ming thought, and did not act in a hurry, just stayed here quietly.

"There is no data fluctuation. Why does the leader think that someone is contacting the outside world?" Pierre was puzzled, staring at the screen all the time, and his mind was a little tired.

During this period, he often felt tired, not knowing whether it was due to overwork or other reasons.

He always felt that something was wrong with him, so out of caution, he specially installed surveillance in his office.

Rubbing his brows, the video terminal on the table suddenly popped up, and his subordinates reported helplessly: "Minister, Lord White is coming, we can't stop him, he should have gone upstairs now."

Pierre's face changed slightly, and just when he was about to say something, he suddenly pressed the video terminal to death.
