Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 82 "Black Market" and "Armor Piercing"_3


The grenades alone have powerful destructive capabilities against spaceship structures.

The arc generated by the charge materials can also greatly affect shields.

Although its effects on armor are average, Chen Ming can't expect a weapon that can penetrate shields, pierce armor, and destroy structures all at once.

Finding a weapon that can effectively destroy structures while also having an impact on shields is already the best Chen Ming could find.

It's just enough to make up for Chen Ming's current situation.

However, this Energy-Charging High-Air Cannon is a weapon installed at a medium load-bearing point, and its price is extraordinarily outrageous.

Five million for one, that's ten million for two.

With Chen Ming's current assets, he can only afford to buy two.

Who can stand their assets shrinking by a third just like that?

If it weren't for Chen Ming not needing extra spare ammunition, the price would be even higher.

Moreover, Chen Ming has no way of modifying weapons developed by Speed Particle Technology; he can only use them.

Because the design philosophy of Speed Particle Technology weapons is different from the low-cost mass production of Sinda Corporation.

With Sinda Corporation's spaceship weapons, Chen Ming could find those design compromises made to ensure mass production.

But Speed Particle Technology's weapons are designed as cutting-edge weapons, and Chen Ming couldn't find anywhere to enhance.

This is actually good news, indicating that at least the quality of Speed Particle Technology weapons is guaranteed.

It also made Chen Ming aware again of his technical shortcomings.

Not only advanced technology but also the common energy weapons and semi-energy weapon technologies of Speed Particle Technology,

so Chen Ming should find a way to learn more technologies to prevent being in the dark in the future.

Since he now only needs to spend a few minutes each day refurbishing weapons, he certainly has the time.

If he's going to learn, Chen Ming might as well gain some more advanced knowledge.

For example, knowledge at the cruiser level.

Chen Ming had never encountered cruiser-level spaceships, only studied the theory, but he believed he would control a cruiser one day, and learning it wouldn't be a loss.

Additionally, the technology over at Dusk is also something Chen Ming could learn.

However, the technology on Dusk differs significantly from human technology.

At best, it serves as a reference and might be useful when transforming the Dusk Spaceship.

Just as Chen Ming was overwhelmed with ideas after purchasing something,

Old Wu suddenly patted his shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? Sign the document."

Chen Ming snapped out of his thoughts and exclaimed, "Oh," then signed the contract endorsed by the government, stamped with the government's seal.

The weapons were to be delivered to the specified location within an hour.

The vendor would contact Chen Ming then.

After leaving the store selling the Energy-Charging High-Air Cannons, Chen Ming resumed pondering the previous issues.

As he pondered, he suddenly asked Old Wu beside him, "I'm wondering if there's any way to learn new technology."

"Do you still need to learn with your current tech?"

"Many people have better skills than me. If I don't learn, I'll stay like this my whole life. I don't want that."

"Then go to the company."

Old Wu realized he had misspoken as soon as the words left his mouth and quickly added, "Forget I said that,"

Since Chen Ming left the company, and the technology beyond his level is not something a regular employee can access.

Plus, the company's current attitude is unclear; he simply hit a sore spot.

Old Wu awkwardly scratched his head and then straightforwardly said, "Actually, there are other technical books. When I used to learn tech, I left behind a bunch of professional books."

Chen Ming nonchalantly waved his hand and replied, "We both come from the same place; whatever you have, I have."

Old Wu, seeing Chen Ming's reaction, chuckled and said, "Who says so? I used to switch from Speed Particle."

"Although I don't have books on highly classified technology, I do have some on the lower-level technology."

Chen Ming suddenly perked up, feeling like it was a pillow delivered for a nap.

But he was puzzled about one thing and asked, "Wasn't your terminal checked?"

"That was many years ago. At the time, I was just an apprentice. I handed over the company terminal when I left, and a brief check of my personal one was enough. They weren't very thorough, I suppose."

"Didn't you sell it?"

"Would you dare sell it?"

"No, but I think you'd sell it."

Old Wu stared at Chen Ming wide-eyed, but knowing his own sly merchant nature, he couldn't really refute Chen Ming.

"Forget it,"

Old Wu clicked his tongue, took out his terminal, and sent a packaged file directly to Chen Ming, saying, "You can have a look at these privately, but don't spread them around."

After receiving the files, Chen Ming took a brief look and could confirm the content was indeed genuine.

While the basics were similar to Sinda Corporation's new employee education approach, it progressed into Speed Particle Technology's dedicated technical education later on.

Very helpful for his current situation.

Chen Ming casually turned off the terminal and sized up Old Wu, who couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

Deep down, Chen Ming suddenly felt there was some truth to the saying, "Never judge a book by its cover."

But knowing Old Wu's opportunistic personality, Chen Ming simply said, "Nothing, just taking a look at you; let's keep moving."
