Chapter 287

More than a dozen years of time passed in a flash in focused research.

Inside the laboratory, Jie Ming slowly turned off the dazzling beam of the high-precision laser engraving instrument.

He stared intently at a Tier 1 black giant lying flat on the reinforced alloy experimental table, holding a multi-functional biological and energy monitor in his hand, carefully scanning the inside of its chest cavity, especially the core area that had undergone complex transformation.

The data stream jumping on the screen was stable and met expectations, and all indicators reached the design standards.

Seeing this, a smile of satisfaction that could not be concealed finally appeared on Jie Ming's tense face, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally—completed."

Over the past dozen years, the topic he focused on tackling was precisely solving the problem of black giants lacking a strong destructive attack method to deliver a final blow when facing extremely solid fortifications or thick-skinned giant targets.

And the solution Jie Ming chose was also quite simple and crude—he directly added controllable self-destruction ability to the black giant.

Of course, this was by no means a simple suicide attack, but a high-precision, cutting-edge technology that integrated energy shaping, soul anchoring, core protection, and information backup.

Its core lay in the deep transformation of the black giant's energy core.

When encountering a strong enemy or obstacle that cannot be defeated by conventional means, the black giant can actively release more than 95% of its own massive energy within one-thousandth of a second.

These energies are not disordered venting, but are forcibly constrained and compressed according to the complex rune structure preset in the core, and then instantly released, forming a directional, highly concentrated, and terrifying explosion.

The key lies in the remaining 5% of energy.

At the moment the self-destruction is launched, they will form an extremely solid microscopic shield, firmly guarding the "soul" and basic structural information within the core.

As long as Jie Ming can retrieve this damaged but key information-intact core in time and replenish it with sufficient energy, the black giant can achieve non-destructive resurrection.

Memories, experience, and even the resistance accumulated by the body-refining technique can be perfectly preserved.

If the situation is critical and the core cannot be retrieved, this last 5% of energy can also activate the second plan—guiding the core to conduct a thorough self-annihilation without leaving any traces, ensuring that the black giant's unique core manufacturing technology will never be leaked.

Before launching this ultimate blow, the black giant can also separate a small amount of core fragments in advance and back up soul information, secretly sending it back or having it taken away by companions.

Even if the core is completely destroyed, Jie Ming can rely on these "seeds" to spend resources and time in the incubation pool to re-"incubate" a new black giant.

Of course, this method of "resurrection" comes at a price.

Although the newborn black giant can retain the previous living being level, all the environmental resistance accumulated through the body-refining technique will be cleared and need to be re-adapted and accumulated.

More importantly, this is equivalent to creating a brand-new soul, and all previous combat experience and memories will also vanish with it.

The theory was verified, and the next step was practical testing.

Jie Ming excitedly brought this transformed Tier 1 black giant to the weapon testing ground specially designated in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

This place is barren and solid, an ideal place to test destructive power.

He controlled the black giant to lock onto a small mountain made of high-density metal ore in the distance and issued an order.

The black giant just calmly took a step forward, and inside its huge body, a miniature sun seemed to be lit up instantly!

Hum—Boom!!!

First, there was a low hum to the extreme, as if space itself was being forcibly squeezed, followed by a earth-shattering loud noise!

In the center of the testing ground, a scorching light ball that could not be described in words suddenly expanded!

Its core temperature instantly exceeded that of magma, and even approached the level of a star's surface!

The light was blinding, making it impossible to look directly at.

The shockwave that followed was no longer a simple air wave, but more like a wall composed of pure destructive energy, crushing toward all directions at a speed exceeding the speed of sound!

Wherever it passed, the metal ore ground, hard as refined steel, was like being fiercely turned over by an invisible giant plow, torn to pieces, and then directly vaporized in that extreme high temperature!

The upper part of the small hillside locked as the target disappeared instantly at the moment the light erupted; it didn't collapse, it was annihilation in the true sense!

The lower part was also stripped and melted layer by layer under the baptism of the shockwave, eventually turning into a huge lava pit with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters and a depth of tens of meters, the pit walls smooth as a mirror, reflecting dark red molten luster.

The air was filled with the burnt smell of ionization and the strange aura of metal evaporation, which lingered for a long time.

Jie Ming stood outside the safe distance, and the spiritual power shield he propped up easily blocked the incoming high temperature and sporadic splashes.

His eyes sparkled with excitement, quickly analyzing the data sent back by the monitoring equipment.

"Explosion equivalent stable! Energy concentration excellent! Destructive effect confirmed to reach Tier 2 wizardry standard!"

The self-destruction of a Tier 1 black giant actually crossed the level barrier and reached the destructive power of Tier 2 wizardry!

This meant that Jie Ming's transformation was quite successful.

Before the explosion aftermath had completely subsided, Jie Ming flashed to the center area of the explosion.

Relying on the special connection with the core, he easily found the black giant core, which was only the size of a fist, wrapped in a pale golden energy shield, covered with fine cracks on the surface but structurally intact, from the still-rolling lava.

He didn't choose to send it back to the incubation pool for a long "rebirth."

Instead, he went directly to the small high-energy infusion pool prepared next to the testing ground and put the core into it.

"Activate high-speed energy infusion!"

As the order was issued, surging energy was like a floodgate opening, pouring into the core.

The cracks on the surface of the core healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dim light quickly became bright.

It was like a thirsty sponge, greedily absorbing energy and reshaping its body.

Under Jie Ming's expectant gaze, the light in the energy pool became brilliant.

It took less than a minute for a black giant, intact and with an aura exactly the same as before, to slowly stand up from it!

Its eyes were lively, without the slightest confusion, clearly retaining all memories and consciousness.

"Perfect!" Jie Ming couldn't help but praise, "I am simply a genius!"

This is what he wanted—a strategic strike method that can turn the tide of battle at a critical moment and possesses extremely fast recovery ability!

Satisfied, he brought this "dead and resurrected" black giant back to the laboratory and found that the communicator was flashing with a familiar prompt light.

He walked up to check the information, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

Another five-year period had arrived, and the freshman recruitment work for Nuolun Academy No. 147 was about to begin.

Regarding this, Jie Ming was already used to it.

He calmly closed the prompt, and his gaze turned back to the mountain of data and new samples waiting to be tested on the experimental table.
