The guard immediately executed the order and flew towards the outer side of the giant shipyard as requested by Bai Quan.

But before the engineering ship could accelerate, a massive arc suddenly erupted from the spot where the flames had just been extinguished.

The arc pierced through the vacuum and struck several engineering ships that had approached after the open flame was extinguished.

Several ships also flickered with the same glaring arcs, and their engines instantaneously stalled.

The burning hulls and minor explosions from arcs penetrating the engineering ships' hulls caused several ships to lose control.

One of the cruiser-level engineering ships precisely crashed towards the location where Bai Quan was.

Even if the engineering ship had the cruiser size, avoiding it wouldn't have been difficult.

However, just as the guard attempted to control the ship, the control panel before him suddenly turned red with alarms.

All the control equipment lost connection at that moment.

Meanwhile, the arcs spreading from the cruiser-level engineering ship struck the engineering ship where Bai Quan was, and both ships completely lost control.

The engineering ship Bai Quan was on was struck and pushed against one side of the shipyard's wall by the impact from the cruiser-level engineering ship.

The engineering ship's external communication was severed, and it lost contact. Bai Quan's fate remained unknown.

The sudden incident at the Fourteenth Legion's location was swiftly contained within the premises of the Fourteenth Legion, with no information leaking out.

This matter remained contained for a certain period.

Two days later.

During the afternoon study session, Chen Ming completed his previously planned research on shields.

That is, the "Feasibility Study on Amplitude Frequency Differentiation of Multilayer Micro-Difference Shields within a Single Shield Layer."

Since it was merely a product of Chen Ming's university graduation period, it had flaws, allowing for a very quick research process.

Therefore, he could now proceed with transforming his ship using this shield design, named on the panel as [Layered Shield Generator].

This transformation could allow the shield, which appeared as a single layer, to generate different amplitude frequencies of shields internally.

It's analogous to slicing a thick armor layer to form multiple weaker layers.

However, unlike armor, as long as the shield isn't under continuous or overly powerful attacks,

the shield can offset subsequent excess damage beyond its limit, without harming the armor beneath it.

Chen Ming's shield can achieve such effects multiple times.

By dividing the shield into different layers and connecting each layer segmentedly to the ship's Radiant Energy System.

When one shield layer is overloaded, other shield layers can continue to bear the damage.

The greatest advantage of this shield is that it can withstand quite a bit of damage when facing weapons that are particularly effective against shields but attack at a low frequency.

Of course, this thing also has disadvantages.

Having multiple amplitude frequencies within the shield reduces the overall strength of the shield to some degree.

Furthermore, it doesn't perform well against high-frequency attacks, only showing significant effects against low-frequency attacks.

But regardless, since this is only a product of Chen Ming's university thesis and his first research outcome,

Chen Ming felt it could be used as a transitional shield for his ship.

Moreover, Chen Ming already had some ideas in mind for a shield design capable of withstanding high-frequency attacks.

Once the new shield is developed, he can alternate between these two shields.

Meanwhile, continue with the development of even more powerful shields in the future.

Chen Ming removed his hands from the control panel in the research station's workspace before him and directly modified his physically manufactured shield onto Iron Ore No.

After briefly testing the effect, Chen Ming set aside his work and took a rest.

During the break, Chen Ming glanced over at the situation over at Gamma Z.

In two days, Gamma Z had smoothly advanced to Beta level.

And at this time, it had already returned to the Dusk Star System where the Energy Crystal Crab Planet was located.

In the star system controlled by Chen Ming, the number of Dusk had tripled in just two days.

Chen Ming had fully controlled the Energy Crystal Crab Planet, with no Dusk on the planet outside of his control.

Any outsider Dusk daring to land directly on the planet would inevitably fall under Chen Ming's control.

Although the other two colony planets still had much room for development, with control over the Energy Crystal Crab Planet, it was only a matter of time before the remaining two were fully controlled.

So, under these circumstances, when Gamma Z returned to this star system,

Chen Ming delegated to it the overall responsibility for a plan targeting the Alpha Level Dusk within the star system.

Chen Ming entrusted Gamma Z with full authority, as he had no understanding of the customs of the Dusk and random interference could only be counterproductive.

Though the task for Gamma Z seemed challenging, it also had its simpler aspects.

The difficulty lay in Gamma Z needing to find a Dusk with access rights and devise a plausible reason to gain entry to the otherwise inaccessible space station.

The simplicity was that, once the permitted Dusk entered the space station, it just needed to find an opportunity to access the station's central system.
