Chapter 1253: Chapter 641: chanical Seed Release_2
Even with Star Network channels, it’s necessary to utilize various distribution nodes. Interstellar couriers often take months, and it still doesn’t cover the shipping costs.
“The promotion has reached a bottleneck!” Mikhail sighed, “Not many are willing to undergo full-body chanical transformation, and so civilizations even consider chanical transformation illegal.”
“Moreover, recently on the Interstellar Network, there’s been a lot of public opinion. Conspiracy theories are rampant, with so even saying we’ve left a backdoor in the chanical Seed, allowing us to control them at any ti.”
“It’s definitely those civilizations causing trouble,” Reynolds snorted, “The modifications of the chanical Seed have long passed various interstellar tests: consciousness validation tests, emotional assessnts, ensuring that the transford body still retains its own consciousness, but not many people care.”
Li Ming nodded, having anticipated these issues.
The universality of the Evolution Path is extrely high, and sooner or later, it will impact the established interstellar order.
The three Great Masters jointly preside over the release, which is not just a ceremony but represents a powerful endorsent, indispensable.
“Once the release ceremony begins, our projection will synchronize to all distribution nodes,” Mikhail said, as a countdown appeared on the screen, with only six hours left.
Li Ming glanced at the screen and asked, “How’s the research on Artificial Mother Ore going?”
Although they had recreated the chanical Seed, they were still in the exploratory phase regarding the evolution requirents for chanical Bodies.
Li Ming had long known that Mother Ore was needed to advance a chanical Body’s evolution to a Level, and had inford Reynolds and Mikhail.
Seeing if they could develop artificial Mother Ore technology was also a continuous source of funding.
“It’s a bit troubleso…” Mikhail frowned involuntarily, “Mother Ore contains special powers, previously mainly used for collection, and artificial production still needs ti…”
Li Ming nodded, knowing this matter couldn’t be rushed.
Mikhail was clicking at the control desk, simultaneously saying, “There’s so news from Levinbeck.”
“Oh?” Li Ming beca interested.
Mikhail explained, “My people found that a few companies under him, as well as the civilizations he infiltrated, have not been active for so ti. After capturing a few people, they discovered they had been dormant for a long period.”
Dormant for a long ti… Li Ming’s expression flickered. Previously, this guy had been playing with Morris and the Three Great Civilizations, and now the Three Great Civilizations had parted ways.
It was uncertain if this guy had been completely absorbed by the Three Great Civilizations or if he was hiding sowhere.
“Send these materials to later.” He said.
“Okay…” Mikhail nodded, as the distribution nodes on the screen turned green one by one, indicating they had connected to Mikhail’s signal network.
Li Ming, with nothing to do, casually browsed the Star Network. Recently, the sale of the chanical Seed had beco almost the biggest event in the entire interstellar domain.
The novelty of a brand new Evolution Path had faded, and more in-depth issues were being discussed.
For example, whether the consciousness after transformation was still one’s own, whether the Three Great Masters had left a backdoor in the chanical Seed… various hidden concerns and fears.
There were also so bizarre discussions, wanting to know whether gender characteristics still existed after transformation.
Suppose there existed so operational thod; could chanical offspring be born across different species through integration, or could one replace their own “parts”?
Of course, the most crucial discussion was about lifespan.
Is this a new path to immortality?
This discussion was among the most heated, with many research experts coming forward to offer their various opinions.
“…According to the data from the chanic Association, this is a kind of chanical life form, different from previous chanical Transformations, and may perhaps escape the rules of consciousness decay.”
“Impossible, achieving immortality so easily doesn’t align with the laws of the Universe…”
Li Ming, of course, knew that the chanical Holy Spirit was not immortal; the chanical body would also naturally age, albeit much more slowly, and the consciousness could not escape the decay rule.
Currently, in the interstellar world, there are many ways to extend life, with several thods addressing physical decay, but there is no way to reverse the rule of consciousness decay.
Even using all possible thods, even if the container holding the consciousness remains robust, the consciousness will inevitably decay and disappear, irreversibly.
However, to maintain interest levels, the chanic Association naturally wouldn’t disclose too much related information before the sale.
Li Ming watched with great interest, and ti passed quickly.
Despite the various issues, the sheer allure of this new Evolution Path remained irresistible under the vast interstellar foundation.
Li Ming saw many videos fild in front of distribution nodes, with endless long queues at the entrance.
So people had even brought tents two or three days in advance, staying there in order to purchase as soon as possible.
Not necessarily to use for themselves, as everyone knew that this thing was definitely not going to be widely accessible at first; it could be resold at a high price.
The pricing of the chanical Seed was not high; the current sale was of the lowest level, targeting F-Level and below life forms for modification.
Priced at five thousand Star Coins, with an early-bird discount of four thousand five hundred Star Coins, convertible into local currency based on each civilization’s exchange rate.
As for the cost, the three of them had calculated that, given the advantages of large-scale production lines, it could be controlled at around one thousand Star Coins.
An 80% profit, even after accounting for transportation costs and channel fees, remains over 60%. This is a monopoly-level profit.
And this is just the surface profit. The bigger share lies in chanical transformation; to integrate with the chanical Seed, a certain degree of full-body transformation is necessary.
The chanical Court had already expanded into the modification business, with chanical life forms under its wing learning transformation knowledge faster and more easily, and had already started operations.
In short, it’s all about making money throughout the entire process.
“Alright…” Mikhail spoke, causing Li Ming to co back to his senses.
The countdown on the screen showed only one minute remaining.
Countless people were watching the live broadcast of this release on the official interface of the chanical Court, filled with anticipation.
As the numbers reached zero, the screen dimd slightly, then brightened significantly, with three figures gradually appearing.
Li Ming, wearing his iconic cha, stood in the center, with Mikhail on the left and Reynolds on the right.
At the sa ti, across the interstellar locations, in private rooms at large distribution nodes, life forms holding glasses of wine collected their thoughts.
In front of the realistic virtual characters before them, the three Great Masters seed to be standing right there with them.
Even those who would normally make waves in their native civilizations, individuals with the capability to shake planets with a stomp, couldn’t help but sit up straight and uphold due respect.
In dium-sized mall-like distribution nodes, gigantic projections of the figures spanned hundreds of floors, with countless life forms on each floor gazing fervently towards the central area.
anwhile, outside small distribution nodes, the endless lines, even the official personnel maintaining order couldn’t help but look up at the three figures on the store’s large screens.
“Greetings, interstellar citizens…” Li Ming began speaking, as he was the main spokesperson to the outside, with the highest interstellar reputation.
“…Today is a big day, and I know you’ve all been eagerly waiting…”
Li Ming handled these sorts of scenes with ease, his speech even being considered funny and humorous, with a few small jokes thrown in, leaving quite a good impression.
However, his speech wasn’t very long, lasting just a few minutes, during which he roughly described the traits of the chanical Seed.
“…Lastly, does the Divine Craftsman Reynolds have anything to say?” Li Ming turned to ask.
“The chanical Seed can withstand any test,” he said in a deep voice.
“And what about Divine Craftsman Mikhail?” Li Ming turned to the other side.
“Do not purchase the chanical Seed from scalpers.” Mikhail’s remark made Li Ming’s expression turn strange for a mont, with Reynolds smirking quietly.
Then, Li Ming faced forward, as if gazing at every life form in front of the virtual projection, his voice carrying the cha’s unique electromagnetic tone, summing up,
“Everyone, the new era of evolution has arrived. I wish you all to have fun.”
