This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 498 - 263 Five Dimension Crystals Long-Awaited Upgra

After waiting for another seven or eight days, the reconstruction of the rest area was finally completed, and everyone moved in imdiately.

The room, now missing two people, felt much more cramped overall.

"It's getting smaller and smaller." Sandro was very dissatisfied, but no one paid attention to him.

Li Ming, after a long absence, went to the Core Laboratory. Since he had blasted Brother to death, he hadn't been to the laboratory, instead focusing on developing the Genetic Seed.

The inspecting soldier reverently scanned his entire body with a scanner, not even daring to make eye contact with him.

Only when Li Ming entered the lab did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Buzz--

The tal door opened, and the mont Li Ming stepped in, the deep noise suddenly quieted down.

A multitude of gazes quickly fixated on him and withdrew even faster; the experinters around him turned pale and dared not speak.

"Luo'er, long ti no see, there are oil reagents on your clothes..." Li Ming greeted.

"Th-thank you for the reminder..." Luo'er shuddered.

Besides Benny, Li Ming was relatively close with these experinters, given his actual young age and ability to converse well with most of them.

Sotis he was even cheerful and informal, without putting on airs.

But that day, looking at that terrifying Circular Mountain, they were reminded that he was a formidable chanic.

And indeed, more formidable than the other chanics.

"Lord Azure Dragon." Benny greeted him, his attitude unchanged.

At the central workstation, Des was busy working, and the gazes of the experinters were strange but dared not linger.

Des seed not to notice Li Ming's arrival, simply continuing to work with his head down.

Li Ming did not interact with Des either, glanced at the visualization progress, already at 68%.

"That quickly?" he exclaid.

"Several of us are working together, just missing the last core node, we have so clues already, it should be resolved soon, estimating it could be solved within a month," Benny looked quite excited.

Li Ming glanced at him with so surprise, one might think Benny was part of the Torch Organization, given his enthusiasm.

Des had already completely beco a tool, with almost no presence in the lab, barely speaking three sentences a day and constantly working.

Basically, he rested only once in three days.

Li Ming deliberately ignored him, not bothering to humiliate him, played with the fish for a while, then left as usual.

After many days of silence, he could finally go to the main base again.

It was the sa old routine; he first lay low at Pier's place to find out about recent happenings at the main base.

"Ah..." Pier was scratching his head, just finished dealing with a subordinate who ca to report, and sighed,

"Lord Fernand is really demanding; if I could discern the techniques used by Azure Dragon, I wouldn't have to feel so stifled every day."

Displayed on the screen were the main base's cara footage from that day, which captured so blurry images, processed to look quite clear.

"Nano Energy Cannon, energy storage ti not exceeding five seconds, the highest Destruction Energy Level over 100A, that's too incredible."

"Electromagnetic, Frost, High Temperature, Compressed Energy, all mixed together, where does he get the energy engine to support such massive energy storage..."

This video, the R&D departnt had watched hundreds of tis, day and night, yet couldn't discern any clues.

Not to ntion devising any counterasures or blocks.

Even when they were clearing the Circular Mountain blasted open, several sets of Firework Apostle's armors were completely ruined.

Pier just recalled the leader's final instructions and felt imnse pressure; he had lost quite a bit of hair these days.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The knocking sound ca as soone else ca in to report.

"Boss, I thought of sothing, this might be a kind of energy pre-storage technology, he might have stored massive energy in advance in sothing…"

The reporting staff mber hadn't finished speaking before being interrupted.

Pier, after listening, suddenly roared: "You really dare to think, why don't you say he's connected to a secondary energy dinsion, able to extract energy from it at any mont."

"And you even ntion pre-storing energy? You an he solved the problem of long energy storage ti for large-scale main cannons that many civilizations have struggled with?"

"Super-compressed destructive energy coexisting peacefully instead of self-annihilating?"

After scolding the staff mber out, Li Ming stayed in Pier's shadow for most of the day.

Apparently he figured it out; nothing else happened in the Torch Organization, just continuously researching him and his cannon.

Thump!

The knocking sound ca again; Pier felt a throbbing in his head, raised his head, and started scolding: "Didn't I just say, don't co..."

He stopped midway, his face slightly stiff, awkwardly saying, "Lord Ted?"

The visitor was Ted, who had entered the Dinsion Crystal storage under Li Ming's supervision.

This man was the head of security at the Torch Organization's main base, and according to the information Li Ming had, as a grade B Life Form, his developnt progress was over 90%, making him the closest person to becoming a grade A Life Form within the entire Torch Organization.

There were even internal rumors that the leader was already planning an A-grade Genetic Seed for him.

"Minister Pier seems in a bad mood," Ted's voice was heavy.

"It's nothing," Pier shook his head repeatedly, "Lord Ted, you must be here for your Combat Armor, it has almost been repaired, just finishing up."

"Not ready yet?" Ted frowned.

"It's severely damaged..." Pier said helplessly.

Ted shook his head: "No choice, Lord Fernand ordered it be cleared up quickly."
