When outsiders mention Manison's power, it is generally called "Tool Nation", "Tool Race", or directly refers to his power by Manison's name. His name itself represents his own power, and there is no "xx" organization, etc.
Manison's territory is located somewhere in the Old Star River. It is nominally the jurisdiction of a galaxy-level civilization, but it is actually a territory controlled by Manison.
Han Xiao’s master clone came to visit Manison with a mechanical troop. Before coming, he had sent a private message for a date. Manison agreed to meet and set the location on a planet where the Mechanical Race lived. There are many planets under his banner. Just one of them.
The dominion clone arrived at the destination, and there was a mechanical planet in sight. A huge nether energy shield wrapped the planet. There were a large number of mechanical soldiers patrolling around the clock in outer space. After a cursory glance, there were about 300 million to 400 million people. It looks like this is just the outer patrol of a planet.
"Old things are worthy of being old things, and their family is really rich."
Han Xiao tsk tsk shook his head.
Manison's sphere of influence is vast, with mechanical factories and legions deployed in multiple star fields, as well as the developed mechanical civilization as an important assistant. The specific force is a mystery, and the major forces only know that it is an astronomical figure.
Han Xiao's troops didn't wait long, the planetary shield quickly opened a hole, and a team of Manison's mechanical soldiers came to lead the way.
Following the guide, the dominion clone slowly landed, and the surface conditions in sight became clearer.
This is one of the planets inhabited by the Tool Clan. It can be seen that the cities are located on the ground, and there are small ants-like pedestrians moving between the streets. These are the Tool Clan people.
Manison is the second Transcendent A Grade in the history of the Tool Race. Although it has transformed into a new species, he still regards the Tool Race as a phratry and serves as the leader of the group.
However, unlike Sisko, who attaches great importance to ethnic groups, for him, the Tool Clan is just an important resource, and he does not have so many senses of responsibility and feelings.
As a group of Transcendent A Grade inheritance, the Mechanical people have superior mechanical talent, providing Manison with a large number of high-quality talents, and many of his mechanics are from the Mechanical Clan. Moreover, more than 80% of the population of the Tool Race are staunch believers of the Mechanicism.
A group of planes flew for a while, and soon a huge mechanical floating island appeared in sight, which was one of Manison's palaces.
The dominion clone and the mechanical troops landed on the landing platform of the floating island.
clang clang clang...
The soles of the feet hit the ground, making a heavy metal crash.
As soon as I landed, I heard someone talking not far away.
"Haha, Black Star, you actually took the initiative to visit me, which is a bit unexpected."
Just listening to the footsteps of a pata pata, Manison's master clone came over, and the one who came to meet him this time was still not the main body.
Seeing this, Han Xiao sneered in his heart.
Oh, little crispy, so cowardly.
After secretly complaining, Han Xiao calmed down and said:
"You invited me to be your guest several years ago, and it has been delayed. It happened to be on the way recently, so come and see."
His tone was calm, and he didn't mention the unpleasantness between the two. The electronic voice that dominated the clone was also emotionless and could not hear emotions.
Manison smiled and didn't mention the last quarrel.
He has defeated more than one God Throne Mechanic. In the eyes of a big man of his level, the contradiction in this regard is to the point of death before meeting.
One code is one code, as a character of this level, even if there is a competitive relationship, you can still sit down and talk about things calmly.
"In that case, come with me, and I will show you my base."
Manison turned his head and led the way.
Due to the last virtual showdown, the relationship between the two sides dropped to a freezing point, but Black Star is a peak Transcendent A Grade anyway. He made a special trip to visit him, and Manison would not be rude, nor would he refuse to see it.
The two walked around the base and saw very common base facilities. They didn’t see anything special. Manison was not interested in showing his various trump cards to a potential competitor, just like Han Xiao. It was the same as not showing him time-space amber at first.
Han Xiao had expected it, and knew that Manison was not the kind of person who likes to show off his cards, so he did not have other illusions. He was mainly happy to do business this trip.
After walking around for a while, he and Manison entered the conference room, sat down, and chatted about the topic.
"Everyone has used avatars, so there's no need for drinks." Manison leaned back in his chair and said lightly, "What do you have to do with me today?"
"I want to borrow some information." Han Xiao said slowly.
"In what way?"
"I want to borrow the confidential personnel files of the four superstar cluster-level civilizations and other star cluster-level civilizations in the old Galaxy."
Manison was a little surprised and sat up straight.
"What do you want this for?"
"Find someone."
Han Xiao’s words were concise and to the point.
He has already collected the information in the plan. On the death list, someone has indeed forged his resume. Next, he only needs to compare the confidential personnel files. In this regard, it is the best choice to find Tool Nation.
The old Xinghe group of rogues are not the lame civilization of the Kunde people, but a serious superstar cluster-level civilization, whose technological strength is second only to the three major civilizations.
Invading in person is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has a low success rate. Even if you enter, you will be discovered at any time, and you will not be able to get complete information... It is impossible to be lawless if you rush into it yourself.
And there are more than one files that need to be compared. If you want to complete the screening, you have to invade all four Transcendent star clusters. Even if you find the perpetrator, you will offend the other three. If you don't find it, it will be even worse, isn't it? Han Xiao did not want to do this kind of loss-making business by making enemies for no reason.
On the other hand, Han Xiao also felt that the mastermind behind the scenes must have done something, and it is very likely that he deleted the file of the perpetrator, so even if he could hack in, it would be useless, and he would not be able to find a single hair.
Tool Nation's side is different. As the boss of Radiance Federation, his role in the old Xinghe is equivalent to the town, and he has been collecting information for Radiance.
There are such four good neighbors. The old Mai Le next door is not thinking about Shu. From time to time, he goes to other people's houses to walk around, stealing and backing up a lot of confidential documents, and they have them in various periods... Therefore, in Tool Nation, you can get four Transcendent star cluster grades. Civilization's full file before deletion.
Manison thought for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "It is impossible to borrow, I only accept transactions."
"Alright, what do you want?"
"Space-time amber." Manison repeated the old story.
"impossible."
Han Xiao categorically refused.
You ghost old man, I'm afraid you're thinking about ass.
Want to exchange cosmic treasures with just one piece of information? You are a fucking business genius, only the Bank of Heaven and Earth can accommodate a genius like you.
"None of them?"
"Ha ha."
Hearing this, Manison spread his hands and stopped talking. The meaning is obvious... If you don't accept the price I offer, what conditions are you going to make.
Han Xiao thought for a while, "I can publicly express that I support you as the strongest mechanic in the universe."
"I was originally, why do I need your support?" Manison asked rhetorically.
"Make your position stronger, won't you?"
"I don't need it." Manison waved his hand.
I am a dignified Tool Nation, still need a navy? funny!
Han Xiao touched his chin, "Or we can make an agreement that within 50 years, I will not challenge your position."
Manison heard the words and said with great interest: "You mean, do you think you only need fifty years to surpass me?"
"Everything is possible." Han Xiao was noncommittal.
Manison smiled lightly and said lightly: "No, I don't need this method to guarantee my status."
Han Xiao leaned forward, "How about I owe you a favor?"
"Favors are valuable. Judging from our relationship... Your favors mean nothing to me."
Manison shook his head, indicating that you are no longer in my py range.
After a pause, he did not wait for Han Xiao to answer, and spoke again, slowly saying:
"Forget it, I can give you the information you want, but you can't give me what I want. Let the Scarlet Empire come and talk to me."
Han Xiao pretended to ponder, "If this is the case, why don't I try to persuade the empire to supply you with a batch of evolutionary totems for a long time."
Manison was not interested, "It's almost as if you gave me the Evolution Cube."
"...Are you awake or asleep now?" Han Xiao said in a puzzled tone.
Manison is thick-skinned and doesn't care, "But the totem is useless to me."
"Are you sure?" Han Xiao knocked on the table, "You can't use the totem yourself, but you still lead the Tool Clan, so the totem is still useful to them."
Hearing this, Manison calculated.
Seeing this, Han Xiao shrugged, "I can't give you any more price, you have to know that other forces have more or less mastered some of the secrets of these civilizations from various channels, you are here just more Complete, not the only one, if you don’t agree to this condition, then this transaction can only be voided.”
"Okay, I promise." Manison nodded lightly.
For such things as intelligence, he has as much as he wants. It is just a little effort, no cost, and he can additionally harvest the evolutionary totem. Manison feels that it is acceptable.
Although he doesn't value this transaction, for the Tool Race, the totem is indeed somewhat useful.
"Then it's settled, I will go to the empire to fight for it." Han Xiao said.
This move is illegal, but as long as the number of totems sold is controlled, the empire will not be entangled in such details.
Due to the suppression of Glory and Void Spirit, there are now a lot of totems circulating. Although the Empire has not publicly sold it, if the required information can be exchanged, the Empire will not be too rigid. With Han Xiao’s status, these are all negotiable. .
He originally planned to use the evolutionary totem in exchange for this information. As for the verbal support and oral agreement that he said before, Manison dared to agree, and he dared to say it.
Han Xiao is not a person with a good face like Heboar. According to the plan, he still has a lot of room for improvement. He does not plan to continue to fight with Tool Nation now, so he does not care about this verbal promise. If Manison agrees, he will It can also save the evolutionary totem.
Manison only knows that I have high potential, but he doesn't know how fast I am accumulating strength. His impression of me is still the last time I fought, and it is not clear that I have completely obtained [Perfect Tool Sense] , as long as he doesn't fight with him, it will be difficult for him to find out... Han Xiao secretly said.
In exchange for this file, it was for the quest reward of the Kunde tribe. Manison may think that this is just a job on the empire’s side, but he doesn’t know what abilities I can earn from it.
The two reached a consensus, and Han Xiao sent an application to the empire. The high-level officials knew that he was tracking down the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. After some discussion, they decided to pass Han Xiao’s application.
After negotiating for a while, the number of totem supplies was finalized, and it was only hundreds of them, which was harmless.
Manison will not be entangled in this kind of minutiae transaction, and directly threw the information over.
With the information in hand, Han Xiao stood up, "The totem will be delivered in a while, I'll go first."
"Um."
Manison had no opinion and watched Han Xiao leave, and then secretly withdrew from the Quantum Network vision.
The last virtual showdown defeated Black Star, but it doesn’t mean that Manison has no fear at all. He is worried that Han Xiao will come prepared and will imitate himself to make a virtual invasion, so he has already planned for a rainy day for the quantum network node here. Layer after layer has been reinforced, and traps have been made.
For a virtual mechanic of their level, if they want to invade the other party, they can only attack from the front, and there is no way to bypass the firewall and not be discovered by the other party.
If Black Star refuses to admit defeat and wants to invade, there will be no good fruit to eat.
He did not expect that Han Xiao came and went in a hurry, without any attempt to cause trouble, these means were prepared in vain.
"It seems that he really does not have the idea of continuing to compete with me... It should be the empire that has carried out ideological work on him."
According to Han Xiao's performance just now, Manison had a guess and pondered secretly.
…
The spaceship was far away from the territory of the Tool Clan. Han Xiao acted immediately, took out the parameter model that he had prepared, and inserted the prepared data to start matching.
With the support of efficient computing power, the matching is completed quickly and a target is locked.
"Modo civilization? It's really them."
Han Xiao glanced at it and raised his brows. The screen showed that the perpetrator of the forged resume was an intelligence operator of Modo civilization.
"If it's Modo civilization..."
Han Xiao scoured his memory for a while, remembering some famous characters of Modo civilization, he moved in his heart and took out a communicator to contact a number.
After two beeps, the communication was connected, only light breathing could be heard, and the other party did not speak first.
"Rotaire?"
"exist."
"Come to the old Xinghe, there is a task, and by the way, I have a gift for you."
"it is good."
After simply saying a few words, he hung up the communication, and Rotaire cherished his words like gold.
A reliable adult male can call him in a sentence without any further instructions.
It is now certain that the Modo civilization is the initiator of the Kunde incident.
However, Han Xiao still doesn’t know who the specific planner is.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the mission requirement is to retaliate against the mastermind as much as possible.
Then, it is better to cut the mess with a quick knife,
Modo civilization is now and in the future famous people from all walks of life, one is counted as one...
It's all slaughtered for you!
