And this warehouse area is only a very small part of the warehouse area supporting the super furnace itself. There is still a large warehouse area that has not yet been unlocked.

When it is unlocked later, the transformed substances will be stored directly in the warehouse area.

However, the materials converted by the furnace are not stored here now. Most of the common metals are directly transferred to another warehouse area. The capacity of the warehouse area here is too small and only some rare materials are stored.

There are always some rare minerals with very small content among the minerals that are transformed. It is difficult to convert these rare minerals into ordinary metals, so they are purified separately and stored in the small warehouse here, slowly adding up.

Li Qing made a special trip here. The main reason was that after the iron sand was thrown into the furnace of light, it turned into some kind of ultra-rare metal, so he made a special trip here.

Most of that batch of fine sand is metal, but there is a small amount of active metal in it. After complete purification, a ball of living metal like silica gel is obtained as big as a head.

The so-called living metal is an ultra-rare substance, similar to memory metal, but more magical than memory metal.

Memory metal has limits, but living metal has no limits.

Mechanical creations containing living metal can be restored to their original state no matter how they are destroyed. The recovery speed depends on the content of living metal.

But the premise is that there is someone controlling it. The body of this mechanical ascension contains living metal. No matter how big the loss is, it can theoretically be recovered quickly.

It's a pity that Li Qing was taken into the palm of the universe and had no power to resist.

After being blown up, the core was taken away directly, and these structures containing living metal fell apart on the spot.

Reaching out and pinching the living metal as soft as Naiko, Li Qing thought, and a large number of minerals temporarily piled in the uninhabited void somewhere in the universe in his palm were pulled by invisible forces and fell into the black hole that had just opened under the mine pile, falling directly into

In the Forge of Light, then...

With a thought in Li Qing's mind, the living metal in his hand suddenly began to squirm, forming into a silver-white cube under his thoughts.

Then, streams of white gas spewed out from around this planet-like light casting furnace with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, and the billions of tons of ore in the furnace were completely decomposed into nothingness, and then transformed into bits and pieces of small silver-white squares.

These small silver-white cubes are very small, only as big as a sesame seed, but they are all living metal.

When all the billions of tons of ore are decomposed, combine all the sesame dots to obtain a tiny bit of living metal as big as an egg.

"Nana, this is not worth it."

Such a lot of minerals could be worth billions, just to convert such a tiny bit of living metal.

Although this ultra-rare metal is very expensive and very valuable, it is not cost-effective to directly convert it into ore.

"We have to find another way."

Li Qing came out of the palm of his hand and opened the star map to check. The newly updated star map showed that there was an asteroid belt in the galaxy two hops west of the headquarters galaxy, so he took a battleship and set off.

The battleship was commanded by Servant of Light Li Yuan, who set a predetermined target location. Li Qing returned to the universe in the palm of his hand. At this time, robotics expert Chen Guangli had successfully rewritten an underlying code.

"Let's do it now."

Li Qing was sitting outside the laboratory, watching the operations inside through a layer of high-strength glass.

Chen Guangli suspended the core in the air, activated some experimental equipment, and controlled something unknown on a virtual screen. Strings of golden light composed of data codes flew out from all directions and fell into the suspended core.

Every time a data code is put into it, red lightning will jump out from the surface of the mechanical core.

On the surface it looks like red lightning, but it's actually made of code.

Every time a golden light is thrown into it, a red lightning-like code will be replaced and exploded. A certain red line on the surface of the mechanical core will be replaced by a golden line, which looks extremely fantasy.

About ten minutes later, when the last golden light shot into the mechanical core, the last red lightning exploded, and all the lines on the surface were covered with gold. Even Li Qing, who didn't know much about this, knew that the underlying code of the mechanical core had been

Was completely replaced.

At this time, Chen Guangli turned back to look at Li Qing and asked:

"Your Majesty, you can now determine the core avatar."

Li Qing understood what he meant, thought for a moment, and said:

"Use a Rubik's Cube that keeps turning!"

Chen Guangli nodded:

"Can."

His fingers continuously controlled the virtual screen, and soon the surface of the mechanical core flashed with golden light, and a golden light flew out at an ultra-fast speed to outline the shape of a continuously rotating third-order golden Rubik's Cube.

"You can continue to modify."

"No need, this shape is fine. You can add some starry sky images on the surface."

"OK."

Chen Guangli made some modifications, and the lines of the Rubik's Cube quickly solidified, and a sea of ​​stars slowly emerged on the surface.

When it finally takes shape, the Rubik's Cube shrinks rapidly and finally merges into the surface of the mechanical core, and the mechanical core also changes into the shape of a Rubik's Cube and slowly rotates.

At this time, Chen Guangli turned off the equipment, took out the Rubik's Cube and handed it to Li Qing.

"Your Majesty, the underlying code has been reconstructed, and the battle body can be reconstructed based on this."

Li Qing waved his hand and said:

"I'll put it here with you first. Move out all the information in the database and see what's there."

Chen Guangli nodded, activated the mechanical core, and the virtual form of the Rubik's Cube emerged again. After a while of operation, a series of virtual lightning struck the Rubik's Cube, and a will slowly awakened.

Visible to the naked eye, the lines of the virtual Rubik's Cube became brighter and more solid, and a voice sounded out of thin air:

"Dear Master, No. 0 is here to serve you!"

Li Qing nodded and said:

"Share your database."

"As you wish!"

A string of codes appeared on the light screen and was quickly transformed into words that Li Qing could understand.

"The third generation of robotic manufacturing technology...."

"The third generation of light industrial manufacturing technology...."

"The third generation of Gauss weapon manufacturing technology...."

"The third generation of metallurgical smelting technology..."

"Clone manufacturing technology...."

"The third generation of gene modulation technology...."

"Prosthetic transformation technology..."

"Mechanical Ascension Theory and Technology..."

"Third Generation......"

"Combat-type octopus robot (unique) manufacturing technology..."

There are more than thirty technologies in total, which roughly cover a complete set of war industrial systems. In theory, with this set of technologies, as long as there are sufficient resources, a war-related robot can be developed from scratch...

It is not civilized enough and can be regarded as a wandering wild mechanical force.

The most valuable ones are the mechanical ascension theory technology and the unique combat octopus robot manufacturing technology.

Other technologies are a bit outdated compared to human technology and can only be used as a reference.

These technologies do not belong to the mother chip, but are technologies owned by No. 0. Only No. 0 can use and research them.

Fortunately, No. 0 was a top-notch scientist before his mechanical ascension, and he had the ability to do scientific research.

Li Qing asked him to stay in the scientific research room first and follow the Servant of Light Chen Guangli. At this stage, he has not accumulated enough active metals on hand. After that, he will need to get a batch of high-strength special metals to recast his body. Before that,

It just so happens that you can first learn about advanced human technology, and then copy the technology you have mastered according to human scientific and technological concepts when you have almost mastered it.

Coming out of the universe in the palm of his hand, Li Qing took out the epic mission chain token. The small and exquisite gold spaceship, which looked like a handicraft, lit up with light. A line of light and shadow flew out from the top of the spacecraft. Upon closer inspection, it revealed a new set of unfamiliar coordinates.

He knew that this was the next step in this epic task chain.

He sent a message to each of Yu Yuefei and Ding Youran, arranged the mission, and then the fleet left the new headquarters system.

Continuing north, the new coordinates are seventy or eighty light-years away from here. The farther north the galaxy environment becomes, the worse it becomes. Not only is the thickness of the nebula getting thicker, but the inexplicable magnetic field in the isolation interference zone is also getting stronger, which makes many galaxies unable to

You can only jump through it slowly at sub-light speed.

Well, except for psychic jumps.

Psionic jump is positioned through the ubiquitous virtual realm, and its transmission penetration is equivalent to the sixth generation jump engine.

However, it can still only be teleported over short distances, and coordinate positioning is still required across galaxies.

A destroyer is on its way alone. Although a frigate is more flexible and smaller, its hull is not strong enough and its risk resistance is too low. It can easily sink on the spot if it encounters a sudden danger.

Anyway, the fleet is stored in the universe in the palm of your hand and can be summoned at any time when needed.

Going north from the Xinjialan Galaxy, passing through three galaxies, we have reached the border galaxy that the team has cleared during this period. Going north again, the team's fleet has not yet cleared it.

Just after passing through the wormhole, the red warning light in the battleship's bridge flashed. The battleship, which had been prepared to be covered by psychic energy, immediately activated psychic teleportation and disappeared in place, only to reappear in the starry sky more than a thousand kilometers away.

At this time, the battleship's sensor radar scan revealed a fleet of four pirate cruisers and thirty pirate gunboats ambushed at the entrance of the wormhole.

"Are wild monsters so cunning now?"

In the star field near the outpost, it is rare to see wild monsters deliberately blocking doors and ambush.

The destroyer continued to move forward, flexibly dodging various wild monsters along the way, alternating between sublight speed and normal navigation intermittently. It took almost two days to pass through a galaxy.

"Skull hurts!"

The speed was so slow that he was speechless, but there was nothing he could do about it. The double interference here was too serious.

He was walking so slowly, and half a month passed before he knew it, and he arrived in front of the galaxy displayed by the coordinates.

The interference here has been very serious. In the end, it took him four days to pass through this galaxy. Li Qing was already thinking that if he finished digging this hole and the next coordinate was deeper, he would have to go back to the outpost first to prepare the next coordinate.

Let’s explore a set of battleships with strong anti-interference configuration, otherwise the efficiency will be too slow.

It's not too late to go back. He had considered this before coming and left a psychic coordinate at the headquarters of Xinjialan Galaxy and a galaxy in the middle. Then, with the help of the psychic saint in the virtual realm, he could directly

Jump back.

Of course, as long as the coordinates are still there, you can do the same thing next time you come over.

The battleship passed through the wormhole, the sea was calm, and there was no ambush.

But the destroyer stopped at the entrance of the wormhole and did not move a step for a long time.

Li Qing stood in front of the bridge and looked at the picture detected by the sensor radar in front of him. In the center of the circular detection picture was a wormhole, with a green dot on it representing himself, but around it, there were red dots representing enemies everywhere.

The footage detected through radar shows that these are not pirates, but...

The warships are the same style as the wreckage of ancient warships that are now at the headquarters of the Xinjia Blue Army. They are the warships of the civilization that was destroyed in ancient times.

Because civilization has been destroyed, some once-civilized wild monsters will appear in important areas where these civilizations were once active.

For example, if humans are destroyed, many human fleet wild monsters will spawn in areas where a large number of humans have been active, such as Jinmen and outposts. Such wild monsters have nothing to do with human civilization and are even hostile to humans. They will attack when they meet.

.

The destroyer parked in place for a long time without daring to move. Li Qing released a large number of unmanned reconnaissance drones from the universe in his hand to disperse, and at the same time changed the ship from a destroyer to a Black Hawk frigate.

The biggest advantages of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are their speed and stealth. The outer layer of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is coated with an anti-radar coating. Unless they are seen with the naked eye, it is impossible to detect these wild monsters of unknown civilization with only level 3 technology.

.

After waiting for almost two hours, the dispatched unmanned reconnaissance aircraft returned one by one and brought him a large amount of images and information.

He collected and reviewed these image data one by one, and gradually understood the situation here.

The red dots around here are patrol fleets, which are not large in scale. Most of them are composed of three to five destroyers and twenty to thirty frigates.

Among these many small reconnaissance fleets, there are also some large patrol fleets, patrolling back and forth in the starry sky.

It is worth mentioning that, judging from the information currently available, although the warships in this galaxy belong to the same civilization in terms of style, they belong to two different camps.

The patrol near the wormhole belongs to one camp, but the starry sky more than 400,000 kilometers away from here belongs to another camp. The two fleets from the same origin but different camps have small-scale conflicts from time to time.

"So, how should we dig this grave?"

Li Qing took out the token again, and the coordinates popped up again, somewhere in the center of the galaxy.

"It's better to go there first."

The Black Hawk frigate flew silently in one direction, passing between the two patrol fleets.

Like the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, these cruisers did not detect the Black Hawk frigates tens of thousands of kilometers away.

When they arrived at a vast starry sky, the battleship started the jump engine and entered the sub-light speed state, sailing towards the depths of the galaxy.

An hour later, the frigate shook violently and forcibly left sublight speed. At first, he thought it was intercepted. However, the picture coming from the warship's turn as soon as it left sublight speed shocked Li Qing.

He was not intercepted by the interception system, but two large fleets were fighting, and he was stopped by the interception force field in the fighting fleets.

Fortunately, the two large fleets that were engaged in a fierce battle did not pay attention to a frigate. Except for the fact that he had just ejected from the sub-light speed state and was discovered by several nearby warships and launched several missiles, he escaped at super fast speed and did not catch up.
