"Master, I don’t know either." The pink chanical body in front of him nodded, its voice carrying a hint of softness and fear.
As soon as she spoke, Li Ming noticed that several chanical bodies standing nearby all turned their attention to her.
On the left were B, C, D, low-level chanical bodies, which quickly glanced and then looked away.
On the right, the S-level chanical body, like a hulking Black Knight, boldly scanned around.
The pink A-level chanical body lowered its head, appearing sowhat shy.
"So anthropomorphic?" Li Ming noticed this and couldn’t help but be amazed.
Due to the power of the [chanical Sovereign], the chanical bodies that he enlightened were already intelligent life forms, not rely chunks of data.
But that didn’t an they were born with emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. These emotions still needed to arise through subsequent interactions and tempering.
Only the loyalty rooted deep within them towards Li Ming would not change.
But under the influence of the Holy Spirit traits, these machine bodies possessed extrely complex emotions, even desires and inferiority, from birth.
"This is practically a species of its own..." Li Ming thought, then shook his head, "This is a species."
Just unsure of how these guys reproduce.
This thought instinctively flashed through Li Ming’s mind, and he quickly wiped it away. After all, he is their creator; this was too much bad taste.
After pondering for a bit, Li Ming waved his hand.
Summoning a D-level chanical body, it looked rather ordinary, standing two ters tall, with a silver fra and standard chanical body exterior, carrying no weapons.
"Master..." It appeared even more reverent, its voltage sowhat unstable, causing its chanical pupils to flicker.
"Do you know how you evolve?" he asked.
"Evolve?" It seed sowhat confused.
Li Ming looked toward the other chanical bodies, all of which appeared equally bewildered.
He thought about the information he had gathered, then took out a piece of mid-to-high-end tal, green and gold in color, a green copper alloy with high energy conduction traits.
Sure enough, the mont it was taken out, the D-level chanical body in front stared at it intently, its internal voltage rapidly surging.
"Follow your instincts..." Li Ming commanded, and the D-level chanical body seed eager, grasping the tal imdiately.
Instantly, where the two made contact, a gold arc of electricity sparked, and the green tal began to lt slowly, gradually being absorbed by the D-level chanical body.
Soon, green and golden patterns spread across its silver fra, with arcs of electricity from the tal shell shooting out more fiercely, until reaching a certain threshold.
Boom!
There was a trendous change; its body shrank a bit, a green armor appeared on its silver fra, and its limbs beca more agile, transforming into a C-level chanical body on the spot.
In its hand was still so leftover purple tal, and this lting process didn’t stop, gradually forming a green dagger along its palm.
"Absorbing tal to evolve..." Li Ming watched this scene carefully, not surprised.
Later, Li Ming conducted various experints, gradually gaining a better understanding of the Holy Spirit chanical bodies.
tal absorption evolution could only act on C-level chanical bodies. To evolve from C-level to B-level, high-compression electromagnetic energy had to be used to cause a transformation in the energy engine.
Moreover, evolving from B-level to A-level was even more challenging, requiring materials with special energy attributes, similar to Mother Ore.
What was required for evolving from A-level to S-level, Li Ming hadn’t figured out yet.
"Hmm... absorbing tal to evolve..." Li Ming pondered, wasn’t this in conflict with his objectives?
But on second thought, it seed conflicting, yet the requirents were fundantally different.
The tals he absorbed now were sophisticated synthetic tal materials, even the chanical Court couldn’t currently manufacture them on its own, only purchasing externally.
Absorbing ordinary tal materials for ten days or half a month hardly yielded ten million units. He didn’t have ti to waste.
"But if they evolve to advanced levels, their material requirents will also be very high."
However, Li Ming quickly thought of how to maximize the benefit.
"Produce F-level chanical bodies, even lower-tier chanical bodies..."
From the start, the chanical Court had not produced F-level chanical bodies because their strength was simply too low.
Owing to the existence of kinetic weapons, even ordinary life forms could destroy E-level chanical bodies, not to ntion F-level ones; they were rely cannon fodder.
Even with the [Mutant] ability, 99% of chanical bodies couldn’t mutate, and no matter how cheap, there was still a cost.
Reynolds and Mikhail’s chanical armies didn’t have this level of chanical bodies either.
Unless the need was primarily for service-based chanical bodies, which in the Chaotic Star Gap were very low, equivalent to no market.
But now, since his chanical bodies could evolve autonomously, the cost-effectiveness of low-level chanical bodies had improved; simply feeding them a bit of unrefined tal materials could make them evolve.
Given the current production capability of the chanical Court, apportioning part of the D-level chanical body production line could yield millions of F-level chanical bodies every month.
Li Ming’s eyes lit up: "The cost-effectiveness in hiring for large-scale wars has also improved. There are tal remnants everywhere. The hiring fees could earn a good sum; using war to support war could earn even more."
"Fight a few tis, and they could evolve from F-level to E-level, even D-level～"
But as he thought about it, noticing the reverent and admiring eyes of the chanical bodies before him, he clicked his tongue.
"War employnt, after all, is a at grinder..." He switched to summon the Vermilion Bird, and inquired: "Can the Holy Spirits’ data be extracted before death and injected into other chanical bodies?"
"It can be done." The Vermilion Bird nodded, "We just need to set up an intelligent core within the area, with an extraction rate of roughly over 95%."
"Over 95% is enough." Li Ming wasn’t aiming for perfection; he manufactured these chanical bodies to work for him, nodding:
"This way, the training ti is saved. The data from dead chanical bodies can be injected into those un-enlightened chanical bodies. Tsk tsk... all beco battle-hardened veterans, winning yet again."
After researching for a while, Li Ming finally erged from the chanical warehouse.
Ulrich imdiately approached, and Li Ming, swift and decisive, said: "Two things: allocate half of the production capacity for D-level chanical bodies to manufacturing F-level chanical bodies."
"Additionally, prepare to undertake large-scale war engagents externally."
"Understood." Ulrich imdiately nodded and made a note of it.
Next, these Holy Spirits would inevitably spread across the interstellar expanse. Once these perpetually evolving chanical bodies were exposed, it would inevitably cause an uproar.
Li Ming would issue instructions requiring them to ensure no external interference before absorbing energy or tal materials.
He just conducted a thorough study; under normal circumstances, it’s difficult to discern any difference between them and ordinary chanical bodies. The Holy Spirit’s power is deeply concealed.
Throughout the entire interstellar realm, aside from Reynolds and Mikhail’s understanding of the Holy Spirit civilization, others probably knew very little, making it hard to relate to this.
By the ti the secret of the Holy Spirit beca widely exposed, he should no longer fear external storms.
Ulrich took a mont to glance at the data synchronized from Vermilion Bird about the chanical bodies, and his pupils couldn’t help but contract.
There were actually four S-level chanical bodies this ti, prompting an inevitable flutter of emotions, yet he composed himself,
Li Ming pondered as he departed. With all said and done, the consumption that needed to happen occurred, the enhancents were made, and the strength of his chanical bodies had overall reached a new level.
Sweeping through the interstellar space seed just around the corner.
Thinking of the excitent, Li Ming couldn’t help but clench his fists, but soon thought of the existence of the Three Civilizations, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
The foundations of these Three Civilizations were not sothing that could be matched in a short ti, not to ntion Eternal Abyss.
That is where the Damo Sword hangs, unknown when it might fall.
Until now, he hadn’t figured out the situation with Eternal Abyss.
"Unfortunately, the Three Civilizations must have so understanding of Eternal Abyss, knowing it might be a great calamity, yet they continue in endless conflict." Li Ming rubbed his chin, "Perhaps one day, I will find a way to deceive them, and have them hand over their resources to instead."
