Chapter 921: Chapter 475 Mechanical Seed_2

Cedric choked up, and Mikhail was too lazy to say more, opening the other metal cans one by one, taking out all the remaining black liquid, and then dividing it equally into four portions.

Each was distributed to the Three Civilizations, and he kept one part for himself, which he further divided into three parts.

Li Ming took out a jar, collected it, and secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.

The benefits of this unified material are self-evident, saving not just a hundred or two hundred production lines, but potentially tens of thousands or even more.

However, the difficulty is also self-evident. The fundamental reason that nanomaterials cannot achieve this material unification is that their traits fall far short of being exhaustive.

Even a very simple smart terminal requires different material traits for each component, with the traits needed for data processing, memory storage, and energy transmission being vastly different.

Although others didn’t quite understand, seeing both Divine Craftsmen valuing it so much, they also carefully collected it.

Meanwhile, Li Ming had quietly activated the [Intelligent Assistance] ability to help him examine every detail without any blind spots.

"Just this much stuff?" Gonzalez frowned, not enough even to fill the gaps between teeth.

"There’s more area behind..." Mikhail had long calculated that the spatial area of this place did not quite match the full extent of the container, indicating there was more space.

A simple penetration through the metal wall revealed a small area familiar to everyone, with layered metal racks arranged sequentially.

However, the bases of the metal racks were empty, with nothing left on them.

"It’s already empty." Diwusi frowned, and everyone else’s expressions grew unsightly.

Given the brutal situation of the outside battle, hoping for this warehouse to be full was unrealistic, but only finding a few cans of black liquid was very disappointing.

"A mechanical body?" Gonzalez discovered something unusual; in the corner, a half-decayed metal wreck lay leaning against the wall.

"A guard?" Everyone gathered around, Mikhail’s eyes flickered, but Reynolds said, "It is likely a deserter; there is no need for a guard here." _{free\we\bnov(e)(l).com}

A careful examination of this corpse revealed no valuable items, and after passing through this area, everyone’s expressions somewhat eased.

Slender glass columns were arranged in rows; most were empty, with only a few containing remnants.

But different from the various powerful weapons everyone had envisioned, there were instead nearly identical purple metal blocks.

"What the heck? This warehouse supplies raw materials?" Cedric frowned, eyeing the nearby glass columns, with purple metal blocks the size of an adult’s head slowly rotating, surrounded by a faint particle flow.

"To us, it’s raw materials..." Mikhail shook his head, his eyes somewhat fervent: "But you have to view it in the context of the Holy Spirit Civilization, where most are mechanical evolved bodies."

"This metal material is specifically crafted to align with their evolution path, and if called upon, it should form various weapons fitting their characteristics."

"Truly astounding..." Reynolds approached, unable to contain his excitement: "Advanced prototype materials, if we can understand them..."

The words were cut off by Mikhail.

Reynolds’s expression changed.

Civilizations of this level boast strong technological barriers; the various mechanical bodies found before could be repaired and used, but the core mechanical evolution path of the Holy Spirit Civilization remained unknowable.

The value of these prototype materials was extraordinary. If they could be understood, it would be a major boost, perhaps even providing a glimpse into the mechanical evolution path.

Crack--

A cracking sound came, making everyone turn towards the sound, seeing Li Ming had already pierced through the glass column, taking a piece of purple metal.

"Sorry, everyone; as per our agreement, I have priority to select." He weighed it in his hand, finding the purple metal block quite heavy.

Everyone’s expressions changed; the gains weren’t what they wanted, but better than nothing, they had to accept reluctantly.

Ultimately, after searching the whole area, only two pieces of purple metal were found.

"Only two pieces..." Gonzalez’s face looked grim. Excluding Li Ming, Reynolds, and Mikhail still had to divide them.

These two pieces still had to be divided into four parts, which was quite troubling.

"The Hammer Divine Craftsman put in so much effort, and the warehouse you repeatedly attempted to open contained so little?" Crow’s tone was unfriendly.

Mikhail glanced at Li Ming, "I had warned you, there was never any claim of invaluable items inside, just that it couldn’t be opened due to various reasons."

"It was merely a ruin; what did you expect to find?"

Even Costate frowned; were it not for Mikhail and Reynolds extolling the difficulty, they wouldn’t have such expectations.

The main issue was that they genuinely had no use for these things.

They had clearly observed Reynolds’s earlier excitement, suggesting these raw materials might prove extraordinary for his enhancement.

Yet for them, it could only be taken back to the research institute, requiring significant time to convert into visible value.

Meanwhile, Li Ming attempted to absorb the purple metal block, finding the rate much slower than the silver metal blocks outside.

His expression turned peculiar, suggesting that the warehouse’s most valuable contents were actually the metal lumps outside.

But no one seemed to care, except Mikhail, who frequently glanced at him.

He remained calm, scanning the surroundings without getting involved in their division, wandering through the area, inspecting every spot.

Suddenly, he paused, reached out, and quietly retrieved an item wedged in a corner gap into his hand.

Hmm? Li Ming’s heart skipped a beat, but before he could think further, a voice came from behind, "What is that?"

As he turned around, everyone was already standing behind him, with Crow speaking, eyes fixed on the item in Li Ming’s hand.

"Damn, fooling these bastards is truly troublesome." Li Ming cursed inwardly, revealing a thumb-sized black object to everyone.

In an instant, Mikhail’s eyes quivered, but being a mechanical transformation body, he could perfectly control his emotions.

It seemed to be that object... His heart trembled slightly; it turned out it had a prototype.

"No idea, it might be a fallen part from somewhere." Li Ming said calmly.

"Is that so?" Everyone’s eyes were suspicious, having experienced Li Ming’s cunning before.

"Let me have a look..." Crow said expressionlessly, extending his hand.

Li Ming shrugged indifferently and tossed it over casually, adding, "Be careful; if it breaks, you’ll have to compensate, and I’ll charge a fortune."

Crow sneered, carefully inspecting it for some time, naturally unable to perceive any peculiarities, and easily squeezed to form indents.

Was it not anything good?

He muttered to himself, always believing that things of a higher level would naturally possess greater hardness.

After thinking, he passed it to Diwusi, "You take a look..."

Diwusi glanced at Li Ming, evidently holding a grudge for his interception, unceremoniously unlocking a series of rune arrays to research it but ultimately discovered nothing noteworthy.

"Seems to be some intricately constructed object..." Diwusi tossed it to Costate, who simply glanced at it and placed it in Mikhail’s hand.

Mikhail’s mechanical pupils contracted, but after a moment, his heart beat intensely; indeed, it was that object, still having a prototype.

Untraceable by even the Hammer, it was here, the foundation of the Holy Spirit Civilization’s Mechanical Evolution System!

Though internally agitated, he pretended indifference, tossing it back to Li Ming.

"I haven’t seen it yet." Reynolds voiced dissatisfaction.

"Just a tiny component, perhaps dislodged by recent spatial tremors." Mikhail said indifferently.

"There aren’t so many good things..." Li Ming appeared helpless, casually pocketing it, yet inwardly astonished.

No wonder it’s called the Mechanical Evolution System, it’s due to this thing.
