The person in charge at Fan Chao said, "Yes, our researchers analyzed your footage and believe that large-volume, high-mass physical attacks might be effective."
"Spiritual Gravity Weapons can also impart additional gravity to solid bullets, significantly enhancing the effect of solid bullet weapons."
"With the high-resolution footage you brought back, we can use the data from the footage to simulate and confirm whether those weapons can really harm the Leviathan."
"I have no objections."
After Chen Ming agreed to the collaboration invitation from Fan Chao.
He stayed at Fan Chao’s research institute for five consecutive days.
It must be admitted that the research environment here at Fan Chao Research Institute is indeed much better than his own.
After all, it is a direct research institute of the Empire, and it has been in operation for who knows how many years, unlike Chen Ming’s research center, which hasn’t even been running for half a month, and still carries more of an academic atmosphere.
However, Chen Ming was not discouraged, as he always believed that he could build his colony.
During the collaborative research, something unexpected happened for both Chen Ming and Fan Chao.
On the very first day of their collaboration.
Chen Ming and a research group at Fan Chao spent some time re-analyzing the footage and various data he brought back.
Combining Chen Ming’s direct perception from his encounter with the Leviathan, they merged their insights and came to a conclusion.
Although this Leviathan indeed has a physical form, its physical form is more akin to that of the Plane Nightmare, a physical entity transformed from an existence of other planes.
It sounds a bit abstract.
But if you think carefully, you’ll find that this conclusion is most likely correct.
The reason lies in the earliest recorded situation by Chen Ming when this Leviathan appeared.
The birthplace of that blue jellyfish Leviathan is a pulsar.
A pulsar is a type of neutron star, with terrifying density almost akin to a black hole.
How could a Leviathan born on such a planet be harmed by ordinary solid bullets? On what grounds could solid bullets harm a Leviathan born from a neutron star with a density close to a black hole?
But the fact is, the solid bullets fired by Chen Ming’s Insect Race Fleet indeed caused some visible damage to the body of the blue jellyfish Leviathan.
Although the damage quickly healed, it was clear that its body density and strength were not that high.
Does this make sense?
It makes no sense at all.
But previously, both Chen Ming and the top researchers at Fan Chao Research Institute had subconsciously overlooked this point.
After all, the Plane Nightmare Leviathan could be damaged by solid bullets, so no one thought it was strange for solid bullet weapons to harm this Leviathan.
But the situation with the Plane Nightmare is very special; it is an entity from the Black Hole Dimension that materializes upon entering the normal universe, and it is not a black hole itself.
Even though its body can transform into Black Hole Material, it is only related to the Black Hole Dimension and does not possess the density of a black hole.
Therefore, the difference in existence between the Plane Nightmare and the new jellyfish Leviathan may only lie in one being an entity of another dimension, and the other being of an existing dimension.
So after consolidating this information, both Chen Ming and Fan Chao concluded that the physical entity of the Leviathan was not important.
That is merely its materialized form.
It may actually be some sort of electromagnetic, radiative, or optical lifeform.
After all, it later spawned two different-colored kin, whose only distinction so far appears to be the color of light, that is, the frequency of light.
To genuinely harm it, one cannot focus on its physical entity but rather on its essence.
Thus, the next day, Chen Ming and the people at Fan Chao completely overturned the established research direction, shifting from studying what type of weapon was suitable for attacking the Leviathan to a new direction.
Over a few days, a general direction was established.
It revolved around disrupting the electromagnetic spectrum, absorbing radiation bands, and forcibly altering the frequency of light.
Fan Chao initially thought that large-scale energy countermeasures might be effective, but seeing Chen Ming’s subsequent tactic of employing thousands of Main Ships to self-destruct seemed not to work.
There might be some special protection measures or simply a unique property allowing Leviathan to ignore the damage from self-destruction.
The newly proposed methods need to be employed against Leviathan.
Although this meant that much of the previous research now lacked value, meaningless research losing value is just that—it loses value.
At most, Chen Ming would have to spend a few more days on the research.
Fortunately, these days, the jellyfish Leviathan remained quiet; otherwise, without completing the targeted technology, Chen Ming would have had to take action personally.
Chen Ming, at Fan Chao, still planned to keep busy with the targeted weaponry.
Some researchers at Fan Chao are not Psychic and need sleep.
But when necessary, he can stay alert for a remarkably long period without rest.
As he does not experience physical fatigue, only his mind becomes exhausted.
As long as his mind can endure, staying awake forever wouldn’t be a problem.
But just before Chen Ming proceeded with this.
He suddenly received a message from Dusk Core, responsible for managing the Plane Nightmare Space Station.
