Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 103 Expanding Panel Abilities Unprecedented Concern


Brilliant disconnected communication.

Staying in the factory, Chen Ming followed Brilliant's instructions and moved all the repaired weapons to the warehouse.

He also took the opportunity to confirm that all escape pods were intact, avoided any holes that might wake the people sleeping inside.

At the same time, he repaired all the remaining weapons stored in the warehouse that couldn't be accommodated on Iron Ore No. and needed repairs.

It took a total of ten minutes.

Then Chen Ming realized he didn't have much to do in the short term.

The learning tasks were essentially completed, and the next step in the plan required going out.

However, Dusk had just refused Chen Ming's idea of going out, discussing it further might not be good.

So, Chen Ming picked up the Antimatter Shock Wave, a small weapon, and returned to the work area.

Chen Ming was already quite curious about the design of this small weapon upon seeing its name.

A weapon using antimatter as material should have a significant impact.

Anyway, let's take it apart and have a look.

To see the difference with Death God Torpedo, which is also made of antimatter.

Although Chen Ming had previously tried to scan the Death God Torpedo using the factory's equipment, it was of no result.

The material of the Death God Torpedo can block external scans, and disassembling it poses a significant explosion risk.

It's no wonder that there haven't been any copies of the Death God Torpedo despite it being decades old.

The most Chen Ming could do was confirm from the disassembly panel's materials that the Death God Torpedo achieved its terrifying power through nuclear materials and antimatter.

So Chen Ming was curious about what effect the Antimatter Shock Wave weapon would have, also made with antimatter.

Using the factory's scanning equipment and his own knowledge of energy weapons.

Chen Ming quickly determined the blueprint of the Antimatter Shock Wave.

Though there were many technologies he didn't understand, he could ascertain the effect of each part overall.

The antimatter applied in the Antimatter Shock Wave wasn't used as a consumable like for Death God Torpedo, nor as an energy source like Antiparticle Energy Activation.

Instead, it acted as the "emitter" of the energy weapon.

The launched Binding Energy Bullet should embody some properties of antimatter.

As to why it's only supposed, because Chen Ming always felt something seems off with the weapon's design.

It wasn't due to Chen Ming's modification, but the design itself was somewhat unsettling to him.

Nevertheless, Chen Ming could still confirm that the Antimatter Shock Wave was a result of Dusk's own design.

After all, Chen Ming had never heard of any substantial application of antimatter in human technology.

During his previous research on various literature and papers on spacecraft and weapon technologies, while there were indeed many papers on antimatter.

Basically, they were theoretical, with very few, or almost no, actual application results.

Wait.

Chen Ming suddenly realized a problem.

Logically speaking, if Dusk had already deployed the Antimatter Shock Wave in combat.

Then humans should have already captured it, and its effects should have been deciphered.

The actual application of antimatter should have already appeared in relevant papers.

It shouldn't be absent until now, at least that's what Chen Ming thought.

Could it possibly indicate that the Antimatter Shock Wave was a new weapon developed by Dusk?

During the repair just now, although Chen Ming didn't pay much attention, he vaguely remembered that the damages to the Antimatter Shock Wave seemed to be internal.

Could it be that it was damaged due to some accident during weapon testing?

If so, it might explain why the weapon seemed off.

But such test weapons are casually given to him? Moreover, it's antimatter?

Chen Ming was filled with doubts.

Wait, somehow, it didn't seem to be a problem.

Just like a company might cancel an internally doubted project.

Dusk might also doubt the actual performance of the Antimatter Shock Wave.

And since antimatter had been applied to weapons, Dusk might have been experimenting with antimatter in other industries or energy applications.

Except the progress in weapon application wasn't ideal, thus cancelling the Antimatter Shock Wave project,

Of course, there could be other antimatter weapons being developed by Dusk, or Dusk felt the application prospects of antimatter weapons were unreliable.

However, given that this thing ended up in Chen Ming's hands.

This guess seemed very plausible to Chen Ming.

Otherwise, not to mention how Brilliant directly agreed to Chen Ming getting the item in the first place.

Just how Dusk shouldn't have let Chen Ming test his repair and modification abilities on this thing from the start.

Thus, the reality is likely this.

Antimatter Shock Wave was possibly a failed product of a weapon experiment once or recently conducted by Dusk.

It wasn't valuable, so it was given to Chen Ming for repair attempts, and even casual modifications were entirely permissible.

Chen Ming should probably avoid testing and firing this odd weapon.

He previously made a random modification to increase power output.

If it gets damaged again, especially if the antimatter emitter is wrecked, Chen Ming couldn't just dismantle the Death God Torpedo for repair.

Even if Dusk seemed indifferent about this thing, Chen Ming sort of felt it was still quite valuable.
