Chapter 306: Weakness

Fang Heng touched his chin.

He looked at the white worms in the petri dish through the glass container.

“What about their weakness? Did you find their weakness?”

“There’s no special weakness. They can withstand the extra high temperature. By the way, they are a little resistant to water, but the water can’t cause any damage to them.”

“A special solution with high corrosive properties can destroy their outer crystallized armour, which should be used against them…”

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up, and he could not help but interrupt, “You mean the sulfuric acid howitzer?”

“The sulfuric acid howitzer is a recommended targeted weapon, but its corrosive properties are not enough. It needs to be improved more before it can completely dissolve the outer crystallized armour.”

“Then do you have a way to make it? It’s urgent.”

Fang Heng felt that bringing Qiu Yaokang into his shelter was one of his wisest investments!

The sulfuric acid howitzer had been proven to be effective against crystallized worms. He did not expect Qiu Yaokang to think of a way to continue improving the corrosiveness of the howitzer.

This way, the plan to upgrade the crystallized form to Tier 5 before killing it would be more stable!

“Sure, but I need a lot of raw materials, the most important of which is a large amount of sulfuric acid and an active enzyme intermediate substance… you can write it down…”

As he spoke, Qiu Yaokang reported a series of expensive chemical agents’ names.

Fang Heng suddenly felt a little headache.

“D*mn it, how much will this cost?”

Previously, to deal with the Tier 5 crystallized form, he had almost purchased the entire Dark Knights’ storage of sulfuric acid and spent more than 10,000 honor points.

The initial investment for the Tier 3 space tearing device project was too large. He had heard that the money earned by Blood Moon this time had been almost spent…

“Can we save some money?”

“Of course.”

Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched. “Really?”

“Of course it’s true, but the effect will be greatly reduced.”

Fang Heng: “…”

After arguing with Qiu Yaokang for a while and finalizing the required materials, Fang Heng finally found Victor and Mo Jiawei in the underground hall of the space tearing device.

Victor was checking the tools.

Seeing that Fang Heng had come, he put down the work in his hands.

“Fang Heng, you came at the right time.”

“I just went to check on the light cannon. It’s not bad. For safety reasons, a few parts still need to be dismantled and maintained. It’s no problem to deal with the next wave of the Blood Moon.”

“In addition, the analysis of the blue crystal ore that we obtained two days ago has also been completed. The information you provided before includes the production of blue energy crystals, so this aspect is relatively easy.”

Fang Heng was pleasantly surprised. “So blue energy crystals can be produced?”

“Almost, there is a very big problem that needs to be solved.”

“Refining blue energy crystals requires a type of ore called pyroxene. I have checked and our shelter does not have the corresponding reserves, so we need to purchase it from others.”

“In the morning, I already sent out a request, but the results are not very good.”

Mo Jiawei spread his hands as he spoke.

“I thought it was strange, so I sent someone to ask around.”

“I just received a report that a gaming company called Crimson Technology Company had announced two days ago that they were collecting and buying pyroxenes. The players’ pyroxenes were almost all taken by this company.”

“Later, I contacted Crimson Technology Company and offered to buy some from them, but they said that rare ores aren’t for sale.”

Fang Heng was puzzled. “Not selling them? The price is too low?”

“Ten times the market price, not too low. I don’t think they have any intention of selling them, and I don’t want to be a sucker.”

Mo Jiawei was used to throwing money at others and was able to offer ten times the market price.

But he was still rejected.

Mo Jiawei felt that it was a little strange.

“Pyroxene isn’t very useful to begin with, and it’s usually only used in the later stages. Why would they buy so many pyroxenes? Could it be that they also found a blue crystal mine?”

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

Was it for sale? Or was there another use for it?

“Also, Fang Heng, the rare metal materials that the Federation promised us have been gradually delivered. I’ve already gotten the specific list.”

“I’ve just discussed it with Victor. Other than the remaining five special rare ore resources and a gap in the resources, we’ve already met the construction conditions.”

Speaking of the Tier 3 space tearing device, Victor’s spirits were lifted.

A parallel time tunnel!

This was an epoch-making product!

Personally creating this miracle was enough to make him so excited that he could not sleep for several nights.

“Yes, I’ve already begun to modify the space tearing device. Currently, two-thirds of the upgrade has been completed. Once the remaining materials are in place, the upgrade can be completed immediately. It won’t take more than a day.”

Fang Heng calculated in his heart.

“In other words, currently, there are still two high energy evolution crystals, five types of special rare ore resources and a large number of pyroxenes to complete the Tier 3 space tearing device, right?”

Victor and Mo Jiawei looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Fang Heng scratched his head.

There was no rush for the special ore resources and pyroxene. He could only slowly purchase them from the outside world.

Then let’s start with the high energy evolution crystals!

…

Crimson Technology Building.

On the 19th floor.

A long-distance projection conference was in progress.

All those who were invited to participate in the conference were famous big guilds in Server 8.

He Liang, in a suit and leather shoes, stood in the centre of each projection area.

Facing the projection of the elite executives of various gaming companies and guilds, He Liang spoke with confidence.

“Thank you all for taking the time to come. The relevant information has already been shared with you in advance, so I’ll be brief.”

“Ever since North River Heavy Industry and Fang Heng reached an agreement half a month ago, their influence has rapidly expanded in Server 8.”

“Just three days ago, I received news from the Federation that Fang Heng can already control the Licker and even the Tyrant to fight. The threat factor is as high as S.”

Phoenix Sound Gaming Company’s Li Ru added, “Our Phoenix Sound can verify the reliability of the news.”

“At this rate of development, I’m afraid it won’t be more than a month. Including our Crimson Technology, all the gaming company’s unions will be eliminated early and will withdraw from the fight for District 8’s overlord.”

He Liang swept his gaze across the crowd.

“If you don’t want to be eliminated, we’ll temporarily join forces. Attacking the prison side together is the only option.”

Amidst the silence, a white-haired old man in a long robe opened his mouth to ask.

“Cut the crap. We all know the threat from the prison side. Taking the initiative to attack is no different from hitting a rock with an egg. What suggestion do you have for us to come here?”

“Mr Zhou has sharp eyes.”

He Liang had already planned everything out. He smiled and slowly explained, “Currently, the prison is extremely powerful. Just as Mr Zhou said, it is not advisable to take action personally.”

“But we can get someone else to do it for us.”

“Who?”

“The three major Federations.”

“In 24 hours, the special event of Server 8 will open. The special area will also open. Including us, the player guilds of the four major Federations will participate in this battle.”

“During the special event, NPCs cannot join. Without the assistance of the Dark Knights, Fang Heng will not be able to control the Lickers to fight. His strength will be greatly reduced.”
