Chapter 1346 - 374: Plane Nightmare (Part 4)

And this hand seemed to have a liquid metal-like quality, but the discrepancy between it and Chen Ming’s metal fluid was vast.

The owner of the hand said, "We have preliminary gained his trust."

Another person hidden in the darkness asked, "How long until we advance to the next step of the plan?"

"Patience, patience is required."

"The Empress is still asleep, we have time."

Soon after.

Chen Ming and the Head of Spiritual Energy returned to the Legion headquarters together.

Then they were taken together to the Shimmering Civilization Research Institute.

The main conference hall of the institute was already filled with people, not only from the Legion but also a bunch of familiar faces of Chen Ming, as well as people specially from the Empire’s research institute studying Shimmering Civilization.

They immediately surrounded Chen Ming, making it a struggle for Chen Ming to reach the stage of the conference hall.

After handing over the new exchange records, Chen Ming transferred most of his consciousness away, leaving only a part of his body consciousness to answer questions from others.

Anyway, he controlled the communication device, and the Empire would try every means to find the most suitable transaction method from his and the Survivor’s trade.

This was the situation he most wanted to see after transmitting the Survivor’s data back.

Chen Ming’s core consciousness soon arrived at the Primordial Star System.

In the phase space here, half of the Plane Nightmare’s corpse was placed.

Surrounded by the Extraordinary at the Legion headquarters, utilizing Chen Ming’s power to control various detection devices, examining the condition of the corpse, confirming the effects of those previously used weapons.

Although different enemies required different applicable weapons, this data could serve as an important reference.

Chen Ming took out the previous test results and compared them slightly with this second test result, which concluded almost instantaneously.

The new data results were basically the same as before.

Essentially, Titan-class weapons, solid bullet weapons, and arc weapons performed best.

However, Chen Ming understood that the good performance of solid bullet weapons was due to a special situation.

Because Chen Ming had discovered that the surface of the Plane Nightmare’s body had a layer of gravity shield, which had an excellent distortion effect on entities, the actual effect of solid bullet weapons would not be too good.

The reason why solid bullet weapons were effective.

Was because the Plane Nightmare was under the gravitational constraint of a black hole itself; it couldn’t control the black hole’s gravity, otherwise, it would have escaped long ago.

Therefore, even if the Plane Nightmare had a shield layer that could block solid bullets, under the pull of the black hole’s gravity, solid bullets would fly toward the vicinity of the black hole.

Which ultimately made the effect of the solid bullets highly noticeable.

And Purgatory Ray was purely about brute force hitting.

So ultimately, among all weapons, the arc weapon still worked best.

Although initially, the performance of arc weapons was not good.

But as more experiments were conducted, Chen Ming also discovered some additional damage caused by arc weapons on the Plane Nightmare’s corpse.

It could be seen that the depths of these damages varied, with some being heavy and some light, very strange, as if the damage from arc weapons was random.

And in fact, this was indeed the case.

The Energy-Accumulating Arc Emitter, its very nature was modeled after the arcs that erupted when a ship’s Radiant Energy System overloaded.

This type of arc could indeed pierce through armor directly, even penetrate shields that hadn’t completely dissipated yet, not just empty words, it could indeed cause damage.

But the arcs generated from this overload, or rather all arcs derived from this reason, were in essence random, unpredictable.

No one knows the angle of the arc’s burst, the strength of the strike, and when hitting whether it could penetrate directly or only hit a portion, causing just a little damage.

This very nature caused the arc emitter’s damage to be highly random.

Weak at times it may fail to penetrate even a steel plate, but strong at times, it could pierce through the Plane Nightmare’s limbs directly, even after concentrating firepower, it could kill it outright.

Thus Chen Ming felt this weapon was indeed one of the most valuable, most promising weapons he had ever seen.

It could ignore gravity fields, ignore armor, ignore shields, to inflict ultimate damage.

So this randomness became an acceptable attribute.

Because when the number of ships equipped with arc emitters is sufficient, the expectation of this randomness would become increasingly stable.

It could be said to perfectly fit the Insect Race fleet which lacks nothing in terms of numbers.

Chen Ming felt he could ask the designer later about any interest in collaboration.

Affirming the value of using the Plane Nightmare as a target.

Chen Ming focused on the intrinsic value of the Plane Nightmare itself.

For something unknown whether it was spiritual creatures or spiritual something else, roughly considered spiritual species, Chen Ming happened to have a method to handle them.
