Chapter 287 Explosion is Art
More than ten years passed in a flash in the dedicated research.
In the laboratory, Jermyn slowly turned off the dazzling beam of the high-precision laser engraver.
He stared intently at a first-level black giant lying flat on the reinforced alloy laboratory table. Holding a multifunctional biological and energy monitor in his hand, he carefully scanned the inside of its chest cavity, especially the core area that had undergone complex modifications.
The data flow jumping on the screen is stable and in line with expectations, and all indicators have met the design standards.
Seeing this, Benjamin's tense face finally revealed an unconcealable smile of satisfaction, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Finally... it's done."
Over the past decade, his key research topic has been to solve the problem of the Black Giant's lack of a powerful destructive means of attack when facing extremely strong fortifications or giant targets with thick skin and tough flesh.
The solution chosen by Jemin was also quite simple and crude - he directly gave the Black Giant the ability to control its self-destruction.
Of course, this is by no means a simple suicide attack, but a high-tech that integrates energy shaping, soul anchoring, core protection and information backup.
Its core lies in the deep transformation of the black giant's energy core.
When encountering a powerful enemy or obstacle that is difficult to defeat by conventional means, the Black Giant can actively release more than 95% of its own huge energy within one thousandth of a second.
These energies are not released indiscriminately, but are forcibly restrained and compressed according to the complex rune structure preset in the core, and then released instantly, forming a directional, highly concentrated and terrifying explosion.
The key lies in the remaining 5% of energy.
At the moment of spontaneous explosion, they will form an extremely strong microscopic shield to firmly protect the "soul" and basic structural information within the core.
As long as Jemin can recover the damaged core in time but with key information intact, and replenish it with sufficient energy, the Black Giant can be resurrected intact.
Memories, experience, and even resistance accumulated through body-building techniques can be perfectly preserved.
If the situation becomes critical and the core cannot be recovered, this final 5% of energy can activate the second plan - guiding the core to undergo a complete self-annihilation without leaving any trace, ensuring that the Black Giant's unique core manufacturing technology will never be leaked.
Before launching this ultimate attack, the Black Giant can also separate a small amount of core fragments and back up the soul information in advance, and send it back secretly or have it taken away by his companions.
Even if the core is completely destroyed, Jemin can use these "seeds" to spend resources and time in the incubation pool to "give birth" to a new black giant.
Of course, this kind of "resurrection" comes at a price.
Although the newly born black giant can retain the previous level of creature, all the environmental resistance that was previously accumulated through the body-building method will be reset to zero, and it needs to adapt and accumulate again.
More importantly, this is equivalent to creating a brand new soul, and all previous combat experience and memories will disappear.
The theoretical verification is passed, and the next step is practical testing.
Benjamin enthusiastically brought the transformed first-level black giant to the weapons testing site specially designated in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
Barren and rugged, it was an ideal place to test the power of destruction.
He controlled the black giant to lock onto a small hill in the distance made of high-density metal ore and gave orders.
The black giant just took a step forward calmly, and it seemed as if a miniature sun instantly lit up inside his huge body!
Buzz——boom!!!
First there was a humming sound that was extremely low, as if the space itself was forcibly squeezed, and then there was a loud noise like the collapse of the sky and the earth!
In the center of the testing ground, a ball of blazing light that could not be described in words suddenly expanded!
The temperature of its core instantly surpassed that of magma and even approached that of the surface of a star!
The light is so blinding that it is impossible to look directly at it.
The shock wave that followed was no longer a simple air wave, but more like an almost substantial wall composed of pure destructive energy, crushing in all directions at a speed exceeding the speed of sound!
Wherever it passed, the metal ore ground, which was as hard as fine steel, was turned over and torn into pieces as if by an invisible giant plow, and then directly vaporized in the extremely high temperature!
The upper part of the small hill that was targeted disappeared the moment the light burst out. It was not a collapse, but annihilation in the true sense!
The lower part was also peeled off and melted layer by layer under the baptism of the shock wave, and finally turned into a huge lava pit with a diameter of more than 100 meters and a depth of tens of meters. The pit wall was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the dark red molten luster.
The air was filled with the strange smell of burning ionization and evaporating metal, which lingered for a long time.
Benjamin stood at a safe distance, and the spiritual shield he held up easily blocked the incoming high temperature and sporadic splashes.
His eyes sparkled with excitement as he quickly analyzed the data sent back by the monitoring equipment.
"Explosive yield...stable! Energy concentration...excellent! Destructive effect...confirmed to meet Level 2 witchcraft standards!"
The self-explosion of the first-level black giant was so powerful that it surpassed the level barrier and reached the destructive power of the second-level witchcraft!
This means that Jermyn's transformation was quite successful.
Before the aftermath of the explosion had completely subsided, Benjamin flashed to the center of the explosion.
Relying on his special connection with the core, he easily and accurately found the black giant core from the still rolling lava. The core was only the size of a fist and was wrapped in a light golden energy shield. The surface was covered with tiny cracks but the structure was intact.
He chose not to send it back to the incubation pool for a lengthy "rebirth."
Instead, he went directly to the small high-energy infusion pool that had been prepared next to the test site and dropped the core into it.
"Start high-speed energy infusion!"
As the order was given, surging energy poured into the core like a flood.
The cracks on the core surface healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dim light quickly became brighter.
It is like a hungry sponge, greedily absorbing energy and reshaping its body.
Under Jemin's expectant gaze, the energy pool shone brightly.
It took less than a minute for a black giant, intact and with the same aura as before, to slowly stand up from it!
His eyes were bright and without any confusion, and he obviously retained all his memories and consciousness.
"Perfect!" Benjamin couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm such a genius!"
This is what he wants - a strategic strike method that can turn the tide of battle at a critical moment and has extremely fast recovery capabilities!
Satisfiedly bringing the "resurrected" black giant back to the laboratory, Benjamin found that the communicator was flashing a familiar prompt light.
He walked forward to check the information, a look of understanding appearing on his face.
Another five-year term has arrived, and the recruitment of new students for Nolen Academy No. 147 is about to begin.
Benjamin has long been accustomed to this.
He calmly closed the prompt and turned his attention back to the pile of materials and new samples waiting to be tested on the laboratory table.
