Chapter 303: Lin Ke's Test
Fortress Star, training ground
This is a training ground that is much larger than the training room and can support larger-scale battles.
Paved with high-strength alloy, it can withstand stronger attacks, and its structure is similar to that of a large stadium, with a huge arc dome covering the battlefield.
The entire training ground uses nano-mimicry screens to simulate battlefield environments. There are transportation channels under the training ground and on the walls, connecting to the warehouses for training mechanical bodies.
Li Yu sat on the high-altitude stands in the training ground, staring intently at the ground below. Hunter, Sinai and even Payton were all here, sitting or standing, all overlooking the battlefield.
At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place on this training ground.
Several troop exits appeared on the ground, and training mechanical bodies continuously crawled out. Mechanical beasts, turrets, and various functions attacked the two figures in the center of the battlefield in waves.
The level of this battle is D-level, and the weapons used by these machines are not very powerful.
The bomb blew up black pieces on the alloy ground of the training ground, making a thumping sound.
Some mechanical bodies were equipped with kinetic weapons that fired tracer ammunition at high speeds, which were like pale blue light tracks with jumping arcs, creating streaks of sparks on the ground and walls.
The two figures in the center of the battlefield were both mecha warriors covered in black heavy mechanical armor.
There was also a smaller lolita who was surrounded by a bloody aura, which looked a bit out of place.
They were Tu Ying and Keller. They were still young and their bodies were still in the larval stage.
However, because the blood in their bodies is extremely unusual and contains powerful strength, the two of them are much stronger than ordinary children.
The two of them worked together to unleash great power, and one training mechanical body after another was blasted into metal fragments all over the ground.
Payton often has the two of them conduct this kind of large-scale training to hone their reaction abilities and mentality.
Boom boom
The sound of gunfire was deafening. On the high-altitude stands, Li Yu touched his chin and said to Payton beside him:
"His strength is OK, but he's not very good at fighting. He gets flustered easily. He still lacks experience."
"It was only after I discovered this that I asked them to come for training." Payton explained that the training ground here is not free but requires money.
A large amount of star coins are required for the mechanical bodies used for training and the usage time.
"They have extraordinary potential..." Li Yu emphasized, "They need to develop in all aspects."
The hunter couldn't bear it any longer and said speechlessly: "They are still children..."
Li Yu laughed and said, "That's why we can't lose at the starting line."
Sinai looked at Keller who was fighting hard, and although there was some pity in his eyes, he did not stop him.
Not long after, Tu Ying was out of breath, and Keller could not lift his arms and legs. The mechanical soldiers stopped at the same time, ending the actual combat training.
The two men returned to the stands, sweating and panting.
Li Yu smiled and nodded, praisingly: "Well done."
Tu Ying was obviously happy to receive the compliment, but his expression of emotion was rather reserved. Keller, on the other hand, was swallowing the ice-cold plasma in big gulps, without even having time to say a word.
"Ding, please pay the training fee. 256 D-class mechanical bodies were damaged and the usage time was 175 minutes. You need to pay 3.6 million star coins."
A holographic screen popped up in front of the group, and Payton paid without blinking.
Li Yu took a look, although this amount of star coins was not much for him.
However, it brought back an idea in his mind: as the base developed, it became increasingly "small".
I'm afraid it won't be long before even the sandworms can't bear the weight.
"There's a chance to play around with the entire planet..." Li Yu included this matter in his plan, and then asked Peyton about the transformation plan for the Alien Queen.
"Some materials have not arrived yet. We have only taken the first step. You have to wait..."
Payton has several duties, but he doesn't care. Transforming the Alien Queen is not an easy task and requires a lot of auxiliary materials.
Likewise, it will take some time to complete the Meteorite Fleet.
At this moment, Little Noisy brought news that his customized weapon had been delivered, and the escort was somewhat unexpected to him.
It turned out to be the director of optoelectronic technology, Lin Ke, who was now in front of the gate of his base.
"I haven't bothered you yet, but you brought it to me." Li Yu pondered.
Li Yu felt strange when he was inexplicably targeted by Li Wang in the Vetter Galaxy last time. After all, not many people knew that he went to the Vetter Galaxy to protect the mermaid princess.
Afterwards, Li Yu listed several suspects. Link's suspicion was not the greatest, but it was very high.
However, in the Guixing central galaxy, Li Yu had no way to do anything to this guy and could only give up for the time being.
After finishing the logistics of the Meteorite Fleet, he ordered some things from Optoelectronic Technology. He didn't expect that the other party would deliver them to his door so quickly, and it was Lin Ke who delivered them personally.
Li Yu thought about it, then returned to the base from the back door with everyone else, and opened the gate to let Lin Ke in.
"Haha... the youngest fleet captain on Guixing, it's really impressive." Link walked up quickly with just the right amount of surprise and admiration on his face.
Li Yu also had a smile on his face, and it was hard to tell the depth of his smile. The two shook hands casually and sat down.
As the head of optoelectronic technology in Guixing, Link's strength is not that strong, he is just a B-level life form.
In other words, Guixing would not allow an A-level life form from the Xingyao Empire to operate here openly.
Therefore, Link’s strength must be low, but to some extent, people like them do not need too strong strength.
"This is the blank nano core you want..." The people brought by Lin Ke brought up ten metal boxes. After opening them, they were filled with spherical nano cores.
Lin Ke introduced: "After writing the program, the nano core can have a maximum combat power of B+ level, which is the highest level weapon that Guixing allows to be sold to the outside world."
All items related to Level A are strictly controlled by various civilizations. If they are leaked to the outside, the trouble caused will be very troublesome.
If you want A-level weapons, you can only apply for them, but the application process is extremely complicated and the waiting time will be very long.
Li Yu also submitted an application to Guixing to see if he could get it for free. The reply did not surprise Li Yu - he had to queue up to get a number because there were too many A-level life forms applying.
He nodded. Before buying it, he had already learned about the nano core and read a lot of basic information.
The nano core was placed aside. Li Yu looked at Link who was sitting motionless on the sofa, knowing that this guy definitely did not come here just to give him weapons.
After a moment of silence, Link took the initiative to speak: "I heard that you will also join the action against Amethyst."
His attitude was very respectful, which was completely different from when the two first met. On the surface, it was because Li Yu had become an A-level life form and was the commander of the Meteorite Fleet.
His strength and status have risen, so it is natural for him to have such an attitude, but Li Yu does not think so. He doesn't know what bad things this guy is up to.
"Sir Lin Ke, can I now assume that you are inquiring about Guixing's military secrets?" Li Yu looked at Lin Ke with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
Lin Ke's heart skipped a beat, but he smiled and said, "The Purple Crystal Civilization is making such a big fuss, and everyone knows it clearly. Your Excellency the Baron, there is no need to tease me."
Li Yu did not comment, and said: "So what if it is, so what if it is not?"
Li Yu's answer was ambiguous and he did not give an accurate answer.
Lin Ke cursed the little fox inwardly. Li Yu's answer was watertight and he was unwilling to reveal any information.
"If so, I have a deal I want to discuss with you..." Lin Ke smiled.
If possible, Li Yu would like to turn this guy into his fanatic, or try using the [Seed of Confusing Sound].
But Li Yu was not sure whether Linke had the means to resist mental power. If he did, this would only alert the enemy.
But as the head of the optoelectronic technology division, especially in a place like the Guixing Central Galaxy, it would be a bit unreasonable to say that there is no such thing.
"What's the deal? Tell me about it..." Li Yu was a little surprised and did not refuse immediately.
Lin Ke said slowly: "Optoelectronics Technology has many industries within the Purple Crystal Civilization. If possible, I hope you can notify us at certain specific times so that we can evacuate in advance."
Li Yu had a strange expression when he heard that. What Lin Ke said sounded nice. Wasn't this just asking him to be an insider?
Before Link finished speaking, he continued, "In return... we will provide generous rewards."
Li Yu was not surprised that the other party had such an operation. Bribing an insider was normal. What he was curious about was why the other party chose him as the target of bribery.
Does he seem to have a good relationship with the Star Empire?
"I am very surprised by what Director Lin Ke said..." Li Yu was still ambiguous and asked, "Why did you choose me?"
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. After all, the rest of us are native Guixing people..." Link's words seemed reasonable.
Compared with those native Guixing people, Li Yu's style is more inclined to do whatever it takes for the sake of profit.
However, this could not dispel Li Yu's suspicion. The other party seemed to be bribing an insider, but Li Yu always felt that it was a cover.
If he really did according to Link's idea, he would probably reveal his own position to the other party as well.
Anyway, because of the last Vettel incident, Li Yu no longer trusts Link.
Li Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he thought: "This matter... is not impossible..."
Lin Ke's eyes lit up slightly, but then he heard Li Yu say: "However, the risk I take seems to be quite large..."
"…If you guys turn against me and stop paying me, where can I go to seek justice?"
Link frowned and asked, "So what do you mean?"
"...Why don't you pay me a part of it first to show your sincerity." Li Yu smiled and looked at the ten nano cores in front of him.
"Why not... use these ten nano cores as an advance payment..."
The corner of Link's mouth twitched slightly. He was trying to get something for nothing. The intelligence analyst's judgment was right. This guy was only interested in profit.
The selling price of this nano core is 500 million star coins, and these ten cores are 5 billion star coins, which is not a small amount.
Lin Ke felt that if he agreed, he would be throwing meat buns at a dog.
"This is not within my authority...I need to go back and ask for instructions." Lin Ke declined.
Li Yu was not surprised and shrugged, "That's really disappointing."
He moved his fingers lightly, and a few imperceptible golden symbols flowed into all the electronic devices of Link and his entourage.
Li Yu now feels more and more that the function of enlightening Transformers is really useful.
A large amount of information was transmitted to Xiao Chaonao, but Linke was unaware of it. What's interesting is that Linke actually recorded the conversation just now.
This made Li Yu sneer inwardly. Recordings and videos were just his leftovers.
"In that case, I'll leave first." Lin Ke stood up, his attitude still respectful, and he was not angry at Li Yu's exorbitant request.
After seeing Lin Ke off, Li Yu looked through the data integrated by Xiao Chaonao. There was no overly confidential information, as all of it was stored in a more advanced server.
However, there were a few pieces of information that caught Li Yu's attention:
"Titus has determined the location of the Titan's Heart."
"Li Yu is suspected to be on the path to becoming a god. Almost all the survivors of the Hengfeng Galaxy have become Li Yu's believers."
"Horus secretly led the Royal Fortress Fleet, the Fanny Fleet, and the Karas Fleet... to the Borderlands..."
These three messages were passed to Link by other people.
Li Yu had no idea what the first one was. What was the Titan's Heart? It sounded like the Titan's heart. But the Titans had been exterminated for who knows how many years, so how could they still have a heart?
The second message was accompanied by a large amount of investigation data, which analyzed in detail the current special situation of the Hengfeng Galaxy.
Obviously someone is paying close attention to him, and the situation of the people in Hengfeng Galaxy is difficult to hide from the eyes of those who are interested.
However, most people in Guixing do not care about the Hengfeng Galaxy, but Linke is extremely concerned about Li Yu's actions and investigates them very carefully.
Li Yu also knew the third point. When he was free, he would "spy" on Horus. This old man had a second spring in life not long ago and took up his post again.
The Royal Fortress belongs to Guixing's super-large fleet sequence, with 100,000 conventional warships. Together with the rest of the small and large fleets, Guixing has mobilized nearly 200,000 warships this time.
Although it is not powerful enough in some large-scale interstellar wars, it is already terrifying enough in a small place like an unowned galaxy.
Due to the impact of this incident, the atmosphere among the top leaders of Guixing seems to be showing signs of impending storm.
Lin Ke still has plans for him, and the situation in the Hengfeng Galaxy should not be leaked out for the time being , but it also makes Li Yu feel a little urgency.
Ten nanospheres were lined up in front of him, each the size of a football. Only after a program was written into them could they become killing machines.
However, Li Yu was obviously not prepared to use that method to awaken them. Golden runes emerged from his fingertips and gradually merged into the ten nanospheres.
