This is not mechanical ascension.

These two abilities are... just average.

Li Ming muttered, the gene mixer was born along with the gene seed evolution path, but the gene evolution path stopped at level x.

The most powerful gene seed mixer is at the level of Sheffield. Unlike mechanics, there is also the Holy Spirit civilization to pursue.

This means that the control system that can be upgraded to a professional level must be lower than this level.

"Forget it, I can just do my own research in the future... it's just a waste of time..." Li Ming couldn't help but think: "For now, I still have to rely on Sheffield."

At the same time, their work on the ironwork and the inspection of the body of Tygos has basically been completed.

Sheffield was checking the test report, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficulty. He looked back and forth for a long time before he sighed, raised his head and said helplessly:

"Your Excellency Qinglong, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

"Powerless?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Alas..." Sheffield sighed again: "The genetic strength of the star beast you provided is too high. There is almost no substance that can help stabilize it."

Li Ming was slightly stunned, and the knowledge that had just flooded into his mind suddenly emerged.

The preparation of genetic seeds can be roughly divided into three steps: extracting genes, stripping off gene fragments, and finally preparing them into seeds.

The genetic instincts of higher life forms are unparalleled, and must be assisted by various other substances for stabilization to ensure that there are no accidents in the preparation process.

But Tygos is so powerful that it is difficult to stabilize him.

"In fact, I suggest that you use this corpse to trade with the three major civilizations." Sheffield suggested: "The three major civilizations must have stocks of ordinary star beasts."

"This body has great research value, and they won't refuse it."

"Use this powerful one to trade for the not-so-powerful one?" Li Ming asked back with a frown.

"In fact, we don't have to strive for perfection..." Sheffield explained: "The genetic strength of this star beast is very high. If it is really successfully deployed and fused, its strength will leap beyond the same level. The ratio of development progress to energy level is very likely to reach one to three."

"But this is just the beginning. If we embark on the ultimate path, the strength of the x-gene seed we find cannot always be this high. There is no need to do so."

Li Ming remained silent. He was different from others. He would not take the ultimate path, nor would he fuse more gene seeds.

However, the benefits of striving for excellence will be huge after the expansion of the control system.

Because of the huge gap between X-level life forms and ultimate life forms, he was somewhat skeptical about whether he could contend with the ultimate life forms after his promotion.

Naturally, he had to strive for perfection to ensure that he reached the level he wanted.

"I'm not considering the deal." He shook his head in denial.

Sheffield was helpless. This kind of mentality of striving for perfection was more common at lower levels. At this level, it was good enough to have any choices, so there was no right to be picky.

"But, this star beast, I really..." Sheffield hesitated to speak.

"As I remember, even if stabilization is not required, it can still be adjusted," Li Ming interrupted.

"No stabilization?" Sheffield couldn't help but frown, remembering that the last time he prepared the S-level gene seed for Qinglong, he did not carry out the final stabilizing material fusion.

He explained: "It's different. The so-called stabilizing substance in the gene seed last time refers to the stabilizing substance that is integrated into the body to take effect, not in the preparation process..."

"I understand. That's the fusion stabilizer. What I'm talking about is the rough preparation method," Li Ming explained.

"Rough preparation method?" Sheffield looked at Qinglong in surprise, and then frowned.

Of course he knew the rough brewing method.

That was in the early days of the emergence of the genetic road. The technology for blending genetic seeds was not yet fully mature, and no one knew about stabilizing substances, nutrients, or gene fragment stripping.

At that time, they basically extracted the genes of the original body, fiddled with them a bit, and then injected them directly into the body.

"Since you know the rough-bone modulation method, you should know that the distortion rate of this modulation method is as high as 85% even if it is optimized to the highest level," Sheffield advised.

"Not only is the risk of fusion too high, but even if that were the case, it would require the condensation of embryos, and the probability of successful blending would be very low."

"The success rate is low, but it's better than not being able to mix it at all." Li Ming shook his head, "Let's use this method."

The fusion risk is not a problem for him. With the support of defense, any distortion probability will be reduced to zero.

The only thing he needed to worry about was whether the deployment would be successful, and he glanced at his new career again.

[Assisted Work] There is no level requirement for this ability. I estimate that it can also have an effect on the x gene seed.

As long as we wait until the final stage of deployment and suppression, with his assistance, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Don't worry, sir. Whether you succeed or fail, I won't blame you." Li Ming emphasized.

Sheffield smiled bitterly. Just listen to this. Such a precious corpse may not be found again in the entire universe. He really messed it up. Isn't Qinglong angry?

This is also one of the reasons why he is more resistant to deployment.

Li Ming immediately added, "It's still the same old rule. I only want one copy, and the rest is yours."

There was a gleam in Sheffield's eyes, but it quickly subsided, and his throat rolled.

The corpse is extremely complete, and the rough embryo preparation method requires very low body tissue, 30% is enough for preparation.

If it goes perfectly, this corpse can even produce three copies of gene seeds.

Qinglong's spirit is indeed great.

"Even if the mixture is a rough draft, as long as the technical level is reached, it is not impossible to perform secondary optimization. This kind of strength is hard to come by for those perverts who are eager to evolve. It is normal to take some risks..." He pondered in his heart, considering the pros and cons:

"This is also a rare opportunity for me. This kind of star beast is rare in the universe. If I succeed, my skills will be taken to a higher level."

“Done!”

After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since Lord Qinglong has said so, I will try my best."

"I believe Mr. Sheffield can do it." Li Ming nodded, and then asked: "How long do you think it will take to allocate it?"

Sheffield explained: "Even if it is a rough embryo, it is difficult to succeed in a short period of time. Its body strength is too high. It will take at least a year or even longer to divide and dissolve it..."

Li Ming had estimated in his mind that it would be difficult for his attacks to cause any harm to Tygos. Even though it was just a corpse now, it would take time for him to deal with it.

"No problem, just take your time." Li Ming nodded, and then said: "However, when you make the final adjustments, remember to notify me and wait until I arrive before proceeding."

These are all preliminary processing work, and have not yet entered the deployment process, so the [auxiliary operation] capabilities cannot be used.

"Okay." Sheffield was puzzled and didn't ask any more questions.

Li Ming followed up by emphasizing: "Also, I hope this matter will be kept secret."

Sheffield said solemnly, "Don't worry, sir. The families of all my experimental personnel are at the company headquarters. During the deployment period, no one is allowed to go out, and the core area will be blocked from the Internet."

He doesn't plan to do anything tricky about this matter. The risks and benefits are not proportional.

Qinglong's strength has long surpassed that of Class X life forms, and no one knows who this gene seed is prepared for. It is not worth causing trouble at all.

The cooperation was finalized and his experimental staff had already started working intensively.

Sheffield didn't need to intervene in the initial stage, so the two left the core laboratory and returned to the top-floor office, where they chatted about some details along the way.

After Sheffield asked him to sit down, he asked with some emotion, "Do you know about the expansion of the Higher Life Forms United Organization that has been making a lot of noise recently?"

"Do you want to join the United Organization of Higher Life Forms?" Li Ming glanced over.

"They will definitely join," Sheffield said, his words carrying a deep meaning, "But the three great civilizations will not sit idly by."

"It is said that they are planning to replace all ten board seats with their own people."

"Oh?" Li Ming became interested. He really didn't know about this, but he was not surprised.

Sheffield said sadly: "When the empire was founded, this loophole was left. The ten-member board of directors is based on strength, but in terms of strength, who can compare with those people from the three major civilizations?"

"I'm afraid there will be a major reshuffle."

Anatoly seemed to have suggested replacing the ten-member board of directors based on their strength...

Li Ming recalled that when he was returning with Gustav and the others, he did not see any anxiety or restlessness among them.

That’s not true. That woman, Senil, was nowhere to be seen in the later period.

He was quite worried: "Not only the three major civilizations, but also many people are eyeing the position of the ten-member board of directors. The strength of the Dwarf King, the Lady of Women, and even Anduin cannot be said to be convincing..."

He, Anduin and Azure Dragon all belong to the same chaotic star gap. Once they enter, they will definitely help each other.

But if Qinglong or Anduin's seats on the board were stripped away, their group would surely be bullied.

At this point, he glanced at Qinglong obscurely, and then said: "Even you, it is inevitable that you will experience some turmoil."

Naturally, he would not underestimate Qinglong's strength and methods.

But here lies the trouble: the rotation rules for the ten-member board seats are based on strength.

Under normal circumstances, what we are talking about is naturally individual strength.

But Qinglong is the only mechanic, and most of his strength comes from the various mechanical bodies under his command.

His previous fighting methods have also proved this point. If someone uses this as an excuse to attack him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to deal with it.

Moreover, Sheffield could be sure that this would happen in nine out of ten cases.

"Thanks for the reminder." Li Ming did not comment. He really didn't care about things like seats on the board of directors.

His main task now is to ensure the successful deployment of the gene seeds, without any accidents in the process, and then steadily increase the development progress to 100%.

Giving up is not impossible.

Seeing that Qinglong didn't seem to care much, Sheffield thought he had won and was slightly relieved.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Li Ming made an excuse to leave.

Sheffield personally sent him to the spaceship and watched him enter the stargate.

"Father..." Monica stood behind him and asked curiously, "Why did Lord Qinglong come here this time?"

"It's none of your business." Sheffield shook his head, turned to look at his daughter, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's come true."

Monica was a little confused, then her face changed slightly, she snorted coldly, and turned away.

………

On the spaceship, the tank guard faded away, and he reviewed everything that happened in Yeyue Biological Company.

"I've shocked him, hinted at him, and given him benefits...he shouldn't seek death." His eyes moved slightly, and he switched the object he controlled, his consciousness floating away.

The next moment, he returned to Sheffield's laboratory. He had a high view and heard low, noisy sounds all around him.

"What kind of star beast is this? It's too abnormal. The cutting machine has even worn out a gap..."

"…That was Qinglong just now. Just like what was said in the news, they all like to use mechas."

"…This star beast must have been killed by Lord Qinglong. It's so terrifying…"

Everything around him was in full view, and while wandering around the Sheffield laboratory, he secretly activated a certain mechanical device.

After marking it, you can remotely descend at any time and be the first to know if there are any changes.

This was the second mechanical body he marked permanently.

"Everyone..." Sheffield's voice suddenly sounded and he walked into the experiment.

The busy staff stopped their work and looked over.

Sheffield looked solemn: "Next..."

Withdrawing his sight, Li Ming nodded secretly, there was no big problem over in Sheffield.

The round trip took very little time, and in the blink of an eye, only another day had passed and they had returned to the Mechanical Royal Court.

Not long after returning to the star base, he received a communication request from an old acquaintance, through a private encrypted channel.

"Anduin?" Li Ming's thoughts were churning. He switched his vest and answered the call.

"Blue Dragon..." Anduin's solemn face popped up, and without much greeting, he went straight to the point, "Recently, the Higher Life Forms United Organization has expanded, and the board of directors is going to be purged. Did you know that?"

"You contacted me because of this?" Li Ming was surprised, "I thought it was because of the Holy Mother Church..."

Anduin paused, "Holy Mother Church, I'm still investigating, and I did find some clues."

"However, they have already tightened their belts and stopped all non-essential activities. Many branches are deserted and a large amount of resources have been transferred. They must be carrying out a highly confidential plan..."

When Anduin said this, he glanced at Qinglong. The other party must know what the Holy Mother Church was doing.

At the same time, he discovered one thing.

Apart from him, no one seemed to pay attention to the Holy Mother Church. If the Holy Mother Church was really related to the events in the Red River Star Stream, this shouldn't be the scene.

But the clues he found proved that the Virgin Mary Church was indeed doing something.

This led him to a conclusion that perhaps even the Empire and the Federation did not know that the Holy Mother Church was involved, but Qinglong knew it.

Anduin thought for a moment and shook his head again: "That's too much. The problem right now is the board of directors."

He said in a deep voice: "I have received news that the three major civilizations intend to take all seats except the chairman and expel us all in order to gain absolute voting rights."
