The Gauss rifle continuously fires high-energy plasma jets. Due to the higher magnetic field strength and longer barrel, the plasma fired by the high-speed rifle has much higher penetration than the pistol.
But this becomes a flaw when facing ghost targets.
Ghost targets are not afraid of high-penetration damage. When bullets come into contact with their fragile surfaces, they will pass through directly, forming a tiny hole that cannot cause them fatal damage.
It is precisely for this reason that the four combat robots fought and retreated under the siege of dozens of ghosts.
However, Bai Yi's weapon was much easier to use. Because the pistol lacked a sufficient binding force field, the plasma it emitted would quickly spread and form a large ball at a slightly greater distance.
This actually hit the ghost's weak spot.
Each plasma ball can completely evaporate most of the ghost's volume. Ghosts are not invincible. As long as they suffer injuries that exceed the upper limit of their body's tolerance, they will quickly disappear.
After a few shots, the battle line was stabilized.
Taking this opportunity, Bai Yi quickly replaced the magazine with a new one, then dropped Max from his backpack and handed him to his daughter, Enol, to take care of him. He then took two steps forward to form a defensive line with the robots.
Compared to the tentacles that emerged from the spherical barrier and could launch sneak attacks, the IQ of these ghosts was obviously much lower.
Even though the Gauss pistols inflicted heavy casualties on them, these ghosts did not shy away. Instead, they were drawn to the muzzle flashes and rushed over.
Now that's good. Originally, one shot could only evaporate one or two, but now evaporating three or four is not enough.
The battle quickly entered its final stages, and the number of ghosts remaining on the field had dropped to single digits. A combat robot, under Bai Yi's control, slowly moved forward. He pulled out a small ball from his back and flung it at the nearest ghost.
The ball immediately opened up after being thrown out, turning into a dense net that enveloped the ghost and pinned it to the ground, preventing it from moving.
This is certainly not a regular net, but a capture net woven with graphene fibers. It is not only very tough, but also has excellent conductivity.
The edge of the net is equipped with a battery slot, and the batteries inside it provide the net with a continuous voltage of 200 volts through a booster. This will form an electromagnetic field of a certain strength within the net, and it is the existence of this electromagnetic field that prevents ghosts from escaping from the net.
This is an unexpected gain.
Bai Yi looked at the ghost struggling to get inside with some surprise. He just had a sudden thought to try to catch it alive, but he didn't expect to actually be able to catch it.
He then conducted various tests on the ghosts using the materials he found at hand, and found that except for electromagnetic fields of a certain intensity, the ghosts could not penetrate ceramic materials.
The reason why the net can catch ghosts is not only because of the magnetic field of the net itself, but also because the Sun God used a large amount of porcelain gold armor in its construction. The floor of the corridor contains a large amount of ceramic components, so ghosts cannot escape by burrowing underground.
Thinking of this, Bai Yi immediately pulled out a storage jar. The top and bottom of this jar were made of insulating ceramic, with a double layer of bulletproof glass in the middle. But between the two layers of glass was a dense electrical grid that could maintain operation for 72 hours after being fully charged.
This was one of the evidence-collecting props he carried with him. Before boarding the Apollo, he carried a lot of strange little things in his bag.
Carefully lift a corner of the capture net and drive the ghost into the jar. Then quickly close the lid and turn on the power.
The ghost was trapped inside.
After finishing all this, Bai Yi finally had time to go back and check on Ainol's condition.
When he returned to Enol with half his face drooping, the latter was trying to peel off the gauze wrapped around his old father's face.
“What are you doing!”
Bai Yi stopped her immediately.
"Do you know how hard I tried to stop his bleeding?"
Bai Yi lied without blushing or beating his heart. Max's blood had already clotted before he arrived.
"but……"
Ainol looked Bai Yi up and down.
"Don't you think you need these gauze more?"
Bai Yi subconsciously touched his face. He realized that half the skin on the left side of his face had fallen off at some point, now drooping over his cheekbone. It kept swaying up and down as he moved.
"Forehead……"
He grabbed the half of his face that was sticking out and tore it off with a sharp sound. Then he threw the skin aside, which had completely lost its original color due to acid corrosion, physical friction, electric shock, and high temperature burns.
"The face is just a decoration. The bigwigs up there won't understand."
“…”
Ainol was speechless.
“I saw it, I didn’t see it…”
"I didn't see it, I saw it..."
The anesthetic seemed to have worn off, and Max began to mutter those nightmare-like words again. Bai Yi saw this and gave him another shot, and he fell silent again.
But Ainol didn't care about it. Instead, he frowned and remained silent.
"Why, do you have something to say to me?"
Bai Yi teased.
He was very sure that this girl had hidden a lot of things from him. Although everyone had their own secrets, he still strongly disagreed with the practice of deceiving others and risking their lives.
"He's your father after all. I guess you haven't told him the truth."
Before leaving the Sun God, Bai Yi asked Apollo one last question.
"How many living beings are there on the ship now?"
"Three."
In the return shuttle, Bai Yi continued his verbal attacks.
This trip resulted in the loss of half of the combat robots he brought with him, and also injured an important member of his side.
As for the rewards, besides a thrilling haunted house tour, there are two test tubes containing a sample of a pus-filled monster and a sample of a tentacle. Oh yeah, and a ghost.
He was very dissatisfied with this result, because the most important thing was not explained. He still did not know the cause of the strange state within the Sun God, and more importantly, why the crystal storm retreated after the appearance of this spaceship.
Facing his question, Enol just lowered her head, holding a ball of blood-soaked gauze in her hand. This was just taken off Max's head, who was now lying in a temporary medical cabin receiving emergency treatment.
"I lied to you."
Ainol's voice was very low, but because no one else was talking at the scene, Bai Yi could hear it clearly.
"I know."
Bai Yi nodded.
Of course he knew that Enol was hiding something from him, but it didn't matter. He could just take this opportunity to make things clear.
