CHAPTER 476: CHAPTER 253 HARVEST DAY [SUNSHINE SPLIT STAR]

"Ghost Energy Wave normal..."

"Energy Cluster segmentation normal"...

"Prepare to embed into the standard model..."

In the Core Laboratory, everyone held their breath, watching as multiple mechanical arms worked together to slowly nestle a lustrous blue crystal into the true body of the Sublimator.

Until it emitted a silvery-blue dreamy radiance. The visualization of development progress jumped from 40% to 45% in an instant.

"Good!" An experimenter not far away flushed with excitement and couldn’t help clenching his fists.

This reaction drew the attention of others, causing him to become somewhat embarrassed, but everyone else just smiled amiably, equally relieved in their hearts.

Benny smiled and nodded, staring at the Sublimator in front of him that was beginning to take shape. Its exterior was oval, resembling half a soccer ball.

Des pondered silently, as the tacit understanding among the leading Mechanics increased, so did their efficiency.

Although Des was reluctant to admit it, he and Azure Dragon sometimes also achieved an unspoken understanding, after all, they had worked together for not a short time.

Li Ming’s expression was calm; this pace of manufacturing was quite normal in his view, given that Des’s side had data supplied by Asimara.

On his side, there was the true Sublimator that could be dismantled; this manufacturing speed was already deliberately slowed by him.

Otherwise, it would be faster.

The progress of the Sublimator manufacturing by the Torch Organization had long since exceeded the damaged Sublimator in his hands.

Out of necessity, he could only temporarily repair it.

So far, about one million units of metal energy had been invested.

After joining the Torch Organization, he had made many small objects, Control Objects with Concealing Blessing, mechanical motors, Hypnotic Pocket Watches, and so on, all of which consumed a total of nearly five million units of metal energy.

Adding the consumption on the damaged Sublimator, there were only about sixteen million units left.

It seemed like a lot, but it still needed to account for the three main guns’ consumption, which was already very tight.

Of course, he had not been idle during this time, exploring the Torch Organization’s internal storage of metal materials in various ways.

But to his disappointment, they were mostly large alloy raw materials mainly used to manufacture warship parts, which were extremely inconvenient to absorb, requiring a lot of time, and needed constant repositioning.

"The main difficulties of the second core node have been overcome; the rest is repeat work. You all have been working here continuously for several days and can take a break for now," Benny said, looking up and deliberately ignoring Azure Dragon.

That person was immutable, working at most two hours a day before leaving, but the data he provided was indeed crucial.

"It’s about time for me, I’m leaving now," Li Ming immediately spoke. Benny’s mouth twitched slightly as today’s work time was even shorter, less than an hour.

But the others were already used to it. A few minutes after Azure Dragon left, Des spoke, "I’m going to rest as well."

Jesse’s mechanical pupils rotated before he shook his head and said, "I do not require rest, Lord Benny, please continue."

Back in his room, Li Ming surveyed himself.

"Good, the development progress is 17% now, after raising all Evolution Theory to A level, the progress is indeed significant."

During this time, he had not been idle, constantly developing Genetic Seeds.

Even when using Shadow Sting to hypnotize the personnel tasked with constructing the main ship, he would switch one Evolution Theory to Meditation Crown, leveraging its ability to passively develop Genetic Seeds.

"Quantum Energy..." He extended his finger, with a wisp of lustrous blue radiance winding around the tip, looking like an energy ribbon.

This was the Quantum Energy from the Red Lotus Thunder Dragon Gene Seed he had fused.

Earlier development progress had been low, and its Traits had not clearly manifested until recently when the development progress had slightly increased.

Compared to ordinary Elemental Energy, Quantum Energy was more destructive and held enormous potential.

"I remember, the Red Lotus Thunder Dragon has a Trait that allows it to become semi-quantum, which is quite miraculous."

Li Ming pondered unconsciously. Although his combat power composition was different from others, mainly combining personal strength with Controlled Objects.

The main purpose of Genetic Seeds for him was to broaden his Evolution Limit.

But he also placed great importance on his own Genetic Evolution path, not only because it could complement the Controlled Objects, but also because.

That was the power that truly belonged to himself.

After contemplating for a moment, Li Ming glanced at the time and pushed aside other emotions, with a touch of exhilaration appearing on his face.

Today was the day the other two main guns were due to arrive, and also the day he reaps the fruits of his labors after many days of cultivation.

Despite a hint of eagerness in his heart, he still didn’t stray from his usual routine.

More than half an hour later, Thunder left his room, wandering around for a bit before finally stopping in front of the corridor.

The soldiers tasked with guarding were long used to this and didn’t mind.

In the shadows, Li Ming glanced into the corner, "Really stubborn as ever."

Around the corner, in the shadows, Des leaned against the metal wall, his eyes flickering.

He had been observing this Mechanical Body for some time; it always wandered around the rest area shortly after Li Ming returned to his room, ending up near the corridor that led outside, standing guard like for different lengths of time, sometimes as short as seven or eight hours, sometimes as long as over ten hours.

Torch had dispatched people to inquire, and Azure Dragon’s answers were vague, saying that his Mechanical Body’s intelligence was deeply learning and that he himself did not know the meaning behind many actions, nor did he specify what was being learned.
