Chapter 279 Research Objectives
Successfully advancing to the Golden Core Realm not only brings a leap in strength, but also an expansion of vision and ambition.
Benjamin was clearly aware that the length of the list of things he needed to deal with had suddenly increased several times.
The first and foremost problem is the energy core issue of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane - installing a level 7 large elemental pool.
The operating manuals and user guides for this thing are piled up like a mountain, and the principles involved are so complicated that it makes people dizzy.
Benjamin made a rough estimate and found that with his current knowledge and understanding speed, it would be difficult for him to fully understand the information without spending thousands of years studying it carefully.
"Forget it, forget it. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Benjamin quickly adjusted his mentality.
He decided not to treat it as an urgent task, but as a long-term research project, to be carried out in the gaps between other studies, just as a "leisure reading" to change his thinking.
After all, the accumulation of knowledge itself is a pleasure.
However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
The plane is currently facing energy shortages, especially the almost stagnant problem of the Black Giant Incubation Pool, which must be resolved as soon as possible.
Financial resources played a key role at this moment.
Benjamin called up the military merit reserves he had earned over the years through the Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustment Agreement, and without hesitation allocated a huge sum of nearly 30 billion from his total deposits of more than 30 billion.
With this huge sum of money, Jeming officially hired an experienced plane transformation engineering team sent by Noren Workshop through the internal network of Noren Workshop.
Their mission is to carry out the planned second and third phases of comprehensive transformation of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
The second phase mainly involves upgrading infrastructure and optimizing the energy transmission network.
The core of the crucial third stage is to build an efficient energy beaming and scheduling system covering the entire plane.
Every material plane continuously receives "energy projections" from the Elemental Plane of Fire (or other basic elemental planes), just as a planet receives sunlight from a star.
In the previous Purgatory Sulfur Plane, most of this "projected energy" naturally dissipated or was inefficiently converted.
After the third phase of transformation is completed, the plane will be able to capture and concentrate the energy that would have been wasted to the maximum extent possible through special magic arrays spread throughout the plane, like a huge solar panel array, and import it into a controllable central energy network.
From the perspective of the "total amount of energy" received by the entire plane, there has been no increase, but the available and disposable effective energy will be increased exponentially!
By then, the energy supply problem of the Black Giant Incubation Pool will be solved, and the pressure of other energy-consuming research will be greatly alleviated.
On the other hand, Jemin began to systematically review the performance of the Black Giant in this plane war.
There are indeed many problems exposed: although it has high resistance to pure physical cutting, it lacks defense against certain special attacks.
It appears bulky when facing extremely flexible and highly maneuverable air units, and its combat effectiveness is greatly reduced in water environments.
And most importantly... the attack power is seriously insufficient!
Although the Black Giant does seem to be extremely powerful in battle, he seems a little powerless when facing some relatively "hard" targets.
But apart from these issues, Jemin is quite satisfied with their overall performance.
The Black Giant perfectly played the role expected of him - a heavy ground fortress, efficient energy absorption, and a core role in team support.
"If you are a cannon fodder, you must be aware of being a cannon fodder." Benjamin had a clear mind.
He decided to optimize only those issues that directly affected its core combat effectiveness, such as adding special burst methods or improving the output stability of the energy core.
As for the "big direction" problems such as not being good at air combat and water combat, he does not intend to spend a lot of resources to forcibly make up for it.
"Being all-powerful often means being totally incompetent, especially when resources are limited." Benjamin is well aware of this.
For self-cultivation, it is necessary to pursue comprehensiveness and balance in order to cope with various complex situations.
However, for war weapons, especially those positioned as "cannon fodder" or "specialized units", extremism and specialization are the most cost-effective options.
Instead of forcing the Black Giant, the "King of Land Warfare", to fly and swim, resulting in both air and water battles being a mess.
It would be better to directly design and manufacture two new cannon fodder units specifically for air combat and water combat!
Coincidentally, he had a wealth of material at hand.
Just as he was planning the blueprint, the teleportation array of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane sent an access request.
Jieming confirmed the authority and agreed to the access.
A young wizard wearing the standard uniform of the Norn Workshop arrived through the teleportation array. He was respectful and efficient, and was obviously a professional in charge of logistics and transportation.
"Master Jieming, the biological samples you entrusted us to keep and transport during the previous 'Airspace-Sacred Continent' Planar War have all arrived. Please inspect them."
Jieming had a brief conversation with him and confirmed the list and handover process.
Afterwards, he took action himself and quickly cleared and leveled a huge area in a vast wasteland on the plane.
Not long after, under Benjamin's expectant gaze, huge environmental simulation chambers that exuded a cold metallic luster and maintained specific environmental parameters were carefully transported through the teleportation array and neatly arranged on the open space.
These simulated warehouses vary in size, with some as small as houses and some as large as hills.
Through the enhanced observation window, you can see creatures of various shapes frozen or sleeping inside.
Some have streamlined bodies and huge membrane wings, suitable for gliding in a zero-gravity environment.
Some have lightweight bodies and are covered with energy-jet organs, enabling them to maneuver at high speeds.
Others resemble deep-sea beasts, covered in scales or possessing specialized structures adapted to fluid dynamics...
Looking at the "treasures" that were being delivered in an endless stream, Benjamin couldn't help but reveal a smile full of happiness and satisfaction on his face.
During these eighty years of battle, he collected a massive amount of biological samples, especially those from the airspace plane.
Due to the lack of gravity on that plane, almost all creatures have evolved into air combat and the adaptability to water combat that comes with the similar environment.
Their flying skills, spatial perception, and energy utilization methods are all extremely valuable for research.
"Very good..." Benjamin rubbed his chin, his eyes gleaming with the excitement typical of a researcher. "The next major task is to dissect, analyze, and extract the excellent genes and structures, and then... create my own air and water combat units!"
