This is not mechanical ascension…

Chapter 694 Race against time

Li Ming has made sufficient preparations. If Yongyuan makes any move this time, it will not be a bad thing. Perhaps he can use this to find some clues.

Unfortunately, this guy was very patient and didn’t react at all.

“This is not a good thing.” Li Ming frowned slightly, which meant that Yong Yuan would only take action when he was more confident.

Currently, the blood mist has covered one-tenth of the Sea of ​​Stars, and its expansion speed is still accelerating.

If the expansion continues, and a few burly men jump out from here, if each of them has the ability to smash the Titan’s relics, he will not be able to withstand it.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and with a casual wave of his hand, blazing black flames gushed out from his fingertips, burning the void into winding scorch marks and cracks, which then condensed into the shape of a long dragon in the surging state, rushing into the blood mist in front of him and destroying it wantonly.

A torrent of black flames gushed out violently, and the ring of destruction instantly evaporated the nearby blood mist into nothingness, exposing the pure void.

The intensity of this blood mist is not very high, and the material particles that constitute it can be annihilated by high-risk energy. It does not require the energy of X-level, S, or even A-level life forms to cause certain damage.

This is also the most effective method of prevention at present. The three major civilizations have organized a huge number of manpower and warships to try to eliminate it.

It does have a certain effect, but the most troublesome thing about this thing is that it is too huge, and it is not an expansion of a flat front, but a 360-degree expansion with no blind spots.

The three major civilizations could only temporarily delay the expansion progress but could not stop it completely.

The black flame dragon sank deeper and deeper, and its energy was gradually exhausted. However, from Li Ming’s perspective, the blood mist in front of him was still endless.

At this moment, Li Ming’s heart moved slightly. He looked down and saw a message popped up on the smart bracelet, from Anduin.

“It’s finally almost time…”

After taking a quick glance and leaving a “mark”, his body suddenly disappeared here.

The Starry Sea Temporary Command Center was jointly established by the three major civilizations as the frontline headquarters for the “Blood Mist Crisis” and is located in the middle of the Starry Sea.

The surrounding giant star gates are surrounded by three giant prisms that overlap and interlock with each other. The base is made of a cold silver metal frame, and pulse bands of blue energy circuits flow on the surface.

Clusters of living crystals parasitize in the gaps between the skeletons, and each cluster of spikes emits high-energy symbols, then gradually merges into the void.

The imaginary number module floats in the center like a ghost, and the holographic star map is constantly collapsing and reorganizing inside the translucent shell, with the red area being particularly eye-catching.

The most eye-catching thing is the joint beacon tower on top of the command center, which is receiving high-energy symbols returning from the void, which contain a large amount of data information. Whenever the blood mist spreads further, the beacon tower will burst out with dazzling electric arcs as a warning.

In the spacious room in the core area, the top biological experts from various civilizations have basically gathered.

They are of different races, all masters, and most of them are familiar with each other, and are communicating in low voices.

Buzz–
The door of the room opened, and everyone subconsciously looked over. The person in the front was Li Ming, and behind him were representatives of the three major civilizations, all with solemn expressions, and a line of silver mechanical bodies carrying boxes.

“Qinglong…” someone in the crowd started to speak, but Li Ming raised his hand to interrupt him, saying: “Everyone knows about the recent blood mist crisis. It concerns the safety of the interstellar space, so I won’t say more.”

As he said this, a mechanical figure standing behind him came forward and placed the metal box in his hand on the table.

Along with a buzzing sound, ice-blue mist leaked out of the box, and a rattling sound was heard, and the box opened.

Placed in the center was a faintly beating bloody ball of flesh, which immediately attracted the attention of many experts. They had different expressions and whispered to each other.

“I feel physically nauseous. It seems to have some kind of life force field…” Someone frowned.

Mikhail, who was hiding in the crowd, had his mechanical pupils flickering. “…The material index is very strange. I have never seen such a strange reading…”

Li Ming then said: “This is the blood species, which is also the source of the blood mist crisis. Your next task is to analyze and research a method to contain the expansion of the blood mist in the shortest possible time.”

“During the research, you will receive all the support from the entire galaxy. Any resources and any equipment will be open to you.”

“Your Excellency Qinglong…” someone asked, accustomed to calling him by this title, “Do you have any more information about this blood species?”

Li Ming did not hide anything: “I have a document here, which will be synchronized to everyone later. It includes the original design drawings of the blood species, as well as their origins and principles. However, the current blood species has undergone transformation and is completely different. It can only be used as a reference.”

The representatives of the three major civilizations around him couldn’t help but look at them in surprise. They didn’t expect that Li Ming even had these things and had never revealed them before.

Only Prince Costat had a calm expression. As the guy who dealt with Li Ming the most, he was no longer surprised by any of his actions.

Li Ming thought for a moment and then said, “I have a few people here who have been researching this for a while. I will have them share what they have learned with you later.”

At this level, he no longer has to worry about the news that Sheffield and others are researching genetic seeds for him being leaked.

We need to race against time now, so every bit of time you can save is valuable. There is no need to hide it.

Many biological experts also nodded and went to their laboratories under the leadership of Li Ming.

In fact, some people have arrived a long time ago, while some are still on the way, but the scale is now not much different.

We have already waited for nearly two months. If we delay any further, the blood mist will soon engulf the entire Star Alliance.

With their arrival, the lights in the laboratory area gradually lit up. The entire area was clean and tidy, with precision instruments everywhere.

At the same time, in the Dominant Laboratory, Sheffield and others were summoned by Suzaku and gathered in the same experiment.

Sheffield looked around, thinking that the Azure Dragon had descended, but there was no one in the room. His eyes fell on the red bird in front of him, and he couldn’t help asking, “Suzaku, what’s going on? Is there something important for Lord Azure Dragon?”

Zhuque said in a light voice: “The master needs you to go to another laboratory through an external link. As biological experts from the three major civilizations, synchronize your research information on the blood species.”

“Huh?” Sheffield couldn’t help but be surprised and looked at the people around him.

You know, their research has always been top secret. They have been here for six or seven years and have never had any contact with the outside world.

And this time, Qinglong actually asked them to connect with biological experts from the three major civilizations.

I’m afraid something has happened.

Sheffield thought subconsciously, his expression solemn, “That thing actually forced Qinglong to cooperate with the three major civilizations…”

They had been studying the bloody ball for two months, and indeed discovered some incomprehensible substances on it, as well as various strange properties.

Now it seems that the threat of that thing is much greater than they imagined. After all, when they came in, the three major civilizations had just sent people to besiege Qinglong, and it was only a few years ago.

Without external force, Qinglong would never cooperate with them easily.

Sheffield was thinking, but he saw the virtual projections already sketching around him, and asked hurriedly, “Suzaku, did Lord Qinglong tell you not to say anything?”

“not at all.”

No? That is to say, Sheffield had a bad feeling in his heart, and even Qinglong could not take care of the three major civilizations.

The projection had been outlined and the audio had been synchronized. A large group of people appeared in front of Sheffield and the others. He subconsciously glanced over and saw several familiar faces.

“Raphael, Senandil, they are all old acquaintances…”

There are also a few guys that I didn’t deal with well before.

“Sheffield?” Anduin, who had arrived at some point, stood aside, slightly surprised, and then seemed to be thinking about something.

Sheffield had disappeared for a long time, and he even went to find Li Ming once for this, but the other party’s reaction was very calm, and he was sure that nothing had happened to Sheffield.

At that time, he guessed that Sheffield was likely working for the other party.

“Nandez, Micah, Graham…you guys are actually working for Lord Qinglong. No wonder you disappeared for so long…”

There were also people in the crowd who were familiar with Nandes and the others, and they all greeted them.

Everyone was very smart and guessed immediately that it was most likely these guys who developed the ultimate gene seed for Qinglong.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Qinglong has long been the ultimate life form.

I couldn’t help but feel a little envious. We are all experts in mixing gene seeds. Who wouldn’t desire the ultimate gene seeds?
“All the biological experts in the entire galaxy are here. With such a big commotion…” Sheffield has gradually confirmed his bad premonition from the current scale of the situation.

“Everyone, you have been studying blood species for a long time. In the next period of time, we will synchronize the information in our hands to help you get into the state as soon as possible.”

After both parties greeted each other, Li Ming spoke.

Sheffield then realized that the person standing next to him was Li Ming. He even sent his students over. Qinglong really took him seriously.

“Okay.” Sheffield nodded.

“I understand. Please rest assured, sir, we will do our best.” Raphael and others were much more respectful and assured Li Ming.

So respectful?

Sheffield was somewhat surprised to see this scene. After looking around, he found that everyone else was in the same situation and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

It seems that something happened in the past few years when they were concentrating on studying the ultimate gene seed. Qinglong’s status seems to have increased a lot.

Sheffield is happy to see this happen. The more powerful Qinglong is, the greater the benefits will be for those of them who have clung to Qinglong’s thigh early.

Li Ming shook his head secretly, “Unfortunately, none of these guys have a low life level, most are at S level, and there are several at X level, their life strength is not low, otherwise, they can activate the time distortion force field to accelerate.”

With such a high group time intensity, once the time difference and coverage scale are increased, and with so many cutting-edge instruments within the range, the metal energy consumed will be terrifying. Even if he has more than 100 billion, he can’t squander it for too long.

In this case, it is not suitable to use metal energy as a consumable energy.

The Star of Eternal Silence can certainly be materialized and used, but in the current interstellar age, we have not yet developed enough energy to support the normal operation of the ultimate weapon, and we are lagging behind the Titans by a great era.

According to Li Ming’s estimation, after the ultimate life form is born and there are corresponding research samples, the relevant technology tree will gradually improve.

But now because of his butterfly effect, Yongyuan is going to turn the table over and no longer give this interstellar era room for development.

Li Ming disappeared silently. Sheffield was organizing his thoughts and was about to speak when he found someone walking up to him.

“Rivers?” Sheffield narrowed his eyes slightly. He had friction with this guy in the past, and the reason why he came to the Chaos Star Gap was closely related to the other party.

“What do you want to do?” Sheffield frowned slightly. At the moment, he didn’t understand what was going on and didn’t want to conflict with the other party.

“Sheffield…” Rivers said, his face somewhat helpless: “We were also helpless about what happened back then. If you continue to stay, you will definitely be the teacher’s successor.”

“Please, for the sake of our past friendship, let the past be the past.”

“Huh?” Sheffield’s face changed slightly, he was very surprised. This guy was actually apologizing to him, and even begging him?
“Let’s talk about this later. The most urgent task is to deal with the vampires.” Sheffield didn’t understand the situation and could only respond indifferently.

Rivers’ face changed. With so many people watching him, he couldn’t say anything and could only retreat.

“This is the importance of mastering a skill.” Anduin said with emotion, “However, I didn’t expect you to be so amazing that you actually created the Ultimate Gene Seed earlier than the Empire.”

“Created the Ultimate Gene Seed? Who? Me?” Sheffield was confused. He didn’t know why Anduin suddenly said that. But he also captured very important information. He couldn’t help but ask, “Has the Empire developed the Ultimate Gene Seed?”

Not only him, but also Nandez and others beside him looked at him in disbelief.

His voice was quite loud. The experts who were originally getting familiar with the research equipment around them or even had already started working looked at him with strange expressions when they heard the voice.

“Wait, you don’t know?” Anduin seemed to realize something and asked in surprise.

“What do I know?” Sheffield asked subconsciously, looking at them more and more with an expression that he could not understand.

They seemed to be looking forward to it, especially Raphael, whose eyes were almost glued to him.

He frowned, realizing something was wrong, and asked again and again: “Also, how do you know that the Empire has developed the Ultimate Gene Seed?”

Anduin did not answer immediately. The Vice President, who was already famous in the interstellar space, had a strange smile on his face. Instead, he looked around and said, “Everyone, are you ready?”

Raphael’s eyes moved slightly, and he responded deliberately, “Mr. Vice Chairman, you should tell him.”

“Vice Chairman?” Sheffield’s eyes bulged, and he stared at Anduin in astonishment, and said in a lost voice: “You are already the Vice Chairman? Are you worthy of it?”
