This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 467: Chapter 247: Li Ming’s Ingenious Ideas - A Method to Get Through the Barrier Part 2

The entire Secret Intelligence Department was eerily quiet, with everyone looking at each other.

A Level B Mechanical Body, suppressing a Level A Life Form, sounded almost like a fanciful tale.

Beside her, Gabriel’s expression was a sight to behold, astonished, surprised, contemplative...

Des’s voice echoed in the room, "...This level of technological prowess is definitely not just from a regular Mechanic, I advise you all to investigate thoroughly and be prepared, he is certainly the biggest variable."

"That old fellow really thinks highly of me." In the shadows, Li Ming looked displeased.

"I understand," Asimara said after a long time, massaging her forehead.

"Do you have any action plans or strategies?" Des continued, "My time is short, tell me what I need to know as soon as possible."

"It’s difficult to take direct action without knowing the exact coordinates of the Torch Organization."

Des frowned, the traitor more than anyone hoped for his own camp’s failure, fearful of being discovered.

He couldn’t help saying, "When we came, we saw a Giant Constructor, the Torch Organization has an independent warship production line."

"It’s hard to determine the exact purchase time, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack." Asimara shook her head.

"I’m not asking you to investigate that giant constructor." Des shook his head, "Their production of standard low-end warships is relatively simple, but the core structural component technology is not trivial."

"They most likely purchased from outside, there shouldn’t be many capable of selling such things."

"I understand," Asimara’s eyes flickered, "If you can somehow see some specific marks, it would be much easier to find."

"I can’t go anywhere from here!" Des said annoyed, "It’s been almost ten minutes, I need to finish, we’ll contact again later."

The screen went dark, Asimara looked thoughtful, then ordered, "Go ascertain the exact location of that signal converter, verify the truth of his words."

"Additionally, Prince Gabriel..." Asimara looked towards Gabriel.

"No problem, I will have people check the entire Northern Crown Arm, all civilizations capable of mass-producing warship-level weaponry," Gabriel nodded, "Let them bring out the details."

Everyone in the Secret Intelligence Department was working intensely, updating all sorts of data based on the information provided by Des.

But visibly, Asimara’s expression had softened a lot.

"With this Des around, we don’t have to fear the Torch Organization’s secret operations," Gabriel said, sweeping over Asimara’s exquisite profile.

"Not bad..." Asimara nodded slightly, she wasn’t afraid of the Torch Organization; she wished to confront them directly.

But the Torch Organization would not meet her head-on.

What troubled her was not knowing the exact movements of the Torch Organization, not knowing how far they had proceeded.

The worst fear was if they found a way into the Red River Star Stream and took the relics from there while everyone was still unaware.

Now with Des as an insider, many things would resolve smoothly.

"Perhaps, this is a good thing, someone helps us make the Biological Sublimator," Gabriel smiled, but then said, "It’s just the origin of this Azure Dragon..."

Asimara was non-committal, despite years of research, she couldn’t guarantee that the Sublimator could be made.

The Torch Organization’s blueprints were almost complete, but there were still some unresolved issues.

If Azure Dragon could resolve them, it indeed would be good, but this also made the other party’s identity even more elusive.

The Biological Ascension Device was one of the core secrets of the Ascender Civilization, long before their downfall, they had destroyed all designs.

And this Azure Dragon, had actually disassembled it?

They still needed to mobilize more resources, to investigate his origin.

"Your Highness..." A blond secretary with golden waves came over, her figure lithe, both Gabriel and Asimara looked over.

"Princess Asimara..." the blonde secretary said awkwardly in a low voice, "The press conference is ready, here are the questions and materials."

She handed over a file, the first few big words starkly written "The Fall of the Land of Stars..."

...

"Hmm, Asimara is also temporarily unable to determine the exact location of the Torch Base, Connet’s defensive measures are indeed very good."

Back in his room, Li Ming felt much more relieved, he was really afraid that Asimara would attack tomorrow.

"But Des is also paying attention to everything at the Torch Base, he might discover something."

He thought about it, evidence in hand, he could report Des at any time.

"But for what I’m doing, I still need him as the scapegoat." Li Ming pondered.

Having confirmed that Asimara won’t be coming for now, he had the mind to think about other things.

He had already thought of how to break through the purple barrier’s blockade, an idea that came to him suddenly while still under the shadow of Des.

The key lies in the [Mechanical Iron Cavalry] profession’s [Iron Cavalry Glory] ability.

This ability allows one to possess a vehicle, a possession that is different from [Shadow Sting].

Take Theo as an example, the former allows him to be completely undetected, while the latter, without the addition of Concealing Blessing, would be easily noticed by Theo.

It also represents a more secretive form of possession.

His idea was to possess a vehicle and then have Pier take him in.

But, the armor is too conspicuous; Pier is clearly from the R&D department, suddenly wearing armor to the lab would attract too much attention.

This difficulty was not a problem for him; switching to the [Material Reorganization Machine], opening the smart terminal, manipulating the design diagram, was merely a matter of experimenting slowly.

"I can only possess mechanical vehicles under my control, but who said that a palm-sized mechanical armor is not a vehicle?"

Li Ming muttered to himself, previously he had stored many universal design diagrams outside, found a suit of armor, directly downsized it proportionally, and tried to manufacture it.

The result was a direct failure; armor capable of autonomous operation when downsized to a certain extent requires very high technical content.

"Remove the weapon module, remove the exoskeletal assistance..." He removed a series of things, leaving almost just the shell.

This time, however, it was manufactured, just the size of a finger.

[Universal Mecha Model--F Level: A delicate decoration]

"Model?" Li Ming was flustered, how could it be recognized as a model?

He tried to possess it; indeed, he couldn’t.

After considering for a moment, he suddenly cursed: "Stupid, why make it small directly, wouldn’t making one that can fold be better."

Reinvigorated, he came up with a new idea, found a mechanical motorcycle design diagram that wasn’t very high-end, made some deletions and modifications to add folding capabilities.

No need for it to be high-end, as he could upgrade it anyway.

Three hours later, a black and white colored assault-style mechanical motorcycle appeared in his room, the body streamlined, with protruding edges on the front windshield serving to slice through the air.

[Mechanical Motorcycle--F Level: Fuel-powered motorcycle.

...

Control Effect: Speed Buff--10%

Control Ability--Folding: Reduce own size by 10%]

An ordinary D-level motorcycle, even powered by fuel.

The only highlight is [Folding], and that was what Li Ming needed.

He immediately tried it, changing the point of view, and sure enough, he could crouch upon it.

He tried to fold it; just a clacking sound was heard, metal components inside clamps, the entire mechanical motorcycle was folded from the central part, looking flatter, but still quite large.

Streaks of light flowed out from the body, turning back into Li Ming’s true body, the folding was not obvious but no problem, just upgrade it.

Seven to eight hundred thousand metal energy was thrown in, directly upgraded to B-level, completely renewing it, the size further reduced, bulky designs like exhaust pipes disappeared without a trace, sharply defined while conforming to ergonomics.

[Magnetic Storm Shuttle--B Level: Super compressed electromagnetic energy, assisting you to soar through the skies.

...

Control Effect: Speed Buff--300%

Control Ability: Reduce own size by tenfold.]

The folding ability’s reduction became tenfold; obviously, it’s not easy to enhance this ability; reaching tenfold only at B-level.

Direct use could make Li Ming into a figure less than twenty centimeters tall.
