Chapter 366 - 181: Chongming Ore, Hidden Easter Egg 2
This is a map of an abandoned mine, and the so-called "Easter egg" is a special mineral called "Chongming".
This mineral is similar to Ximolai Ore in a way, but compared to the now obscure Ximolai Ore, Chongming Ore has already entered many fields and become the core mineral material for the energy engines of many mechas!
Although this mine has been abandoned, there is still a significant amount of Chongming Ore inside. This mineral itself is also slightly radioactive, but this radiation is not harmful to the human body. However, if stimulated by special spiritual waves, the mineral will emit a field that disrupts the magnetic field, reducing the combat effectiveness of many moderately configured mechas by at least 30-50% under such a magnetic field!
The method to crack the influence of this magnetic field is simple, as long as you stimulate the mineral with reverse spiritual power, Chongming Ore will emit a completely opposite magnetic field to protect the holder. This phenomenon was discovered long ago by a bored scientist.
The reason it’s said to be boring is that the enemies on the battlefield at that time were the Insect Race, and Chongming Ore’s hidden ability could only affect mechas and not harm the Insect Race, making it useless in the context of that time.
The maps of the Mecha Fighting Arena’s free-for-all battles all have hidden "Easter eggs", so when Su Jiameng saw the abandoned mine with Chongming Ore, the first thing she thought of was the hidden use of Chongming Ore! But she forgot one thing, in the current interstellar future, the usage of Chongming Ore has only been on track for four to five decades, and such sharp hidden abilities have not been fully explored yet...
In fact, the hidden "Easter egg" in the original design of this map was a few abandoned mine shafts filled with flammable and explosive gases. With proper tactics, luring enemies here could trap and kill a group of them.
Because the hidden "Easter egg" is not hard to find, many who are familiar with free-for-all battles know the secret of this map. However, Su Jiameng is a newbie in these free-for-all battles and does not understand these things, inadvertently revealing a terrifying killer move!
Admiral Gu unintentionally discovered that his three sons were all online simultaneously and in the same free-for-all arena, making him smile wryly. He was very curious—were the three brothers unintentionally collaborating against the enemy or at each other’s throats?
With curiosity in mind, Admiral Gu took a break to log onto the virtual network to watch the match, only to see his third son, whom he personally expelled from the Gu Family, dressed casually with a backpack, standing at the top of the abandoned mining area in the wind... Haha, seeing this son, who made him cringe with stupidity, not piloting a mecha to confront the enemy but stupidly standing there in the cold wind, he wanted to cover his face.
Even though he had once said that Gu Ningxuan was not allowed to set foot in the Mecha Fighting Arena, it hadn’t been that long since his absence, yet his son seemed to lose track of how to engage in free-for-all battles? Acting all cool and aloof on a free-for-all map—was he courting disaster or courting disaster or courting disaster?
Evidently, there were quite a few spectators who shared the same thoughts as Gu Qidong, but when they saw Gu Ningxuan pull out something resembling a spiritual tuning instrument and several pieces of Chongming Ore collected by his team from his backpack, they all froze, not knowing what he intended to do...
After a while, the mineral in Gu Ningxuan’s hand trembled slightly, and the Mecha Fighting Arena seemed to sense something, promptly marking the abandoned mine map with thin, azure lines. Those familiar with free-for-all battles knew that this described the spiritual magnetic field.
Sometimes the most exciting aspect of a match lies in the spiritual domain, and this level of matter is not visible to the naked eye. The considerate Mecha Fighting Arena marked the spiritual magnetic field with fine azure threads...
Admiral Gu, being a master of various arts, immediately noticed that there was an issue with this spiritual magnetic field, and the inexplicably bizarre behaviors of Augustus’ mechas entering the field confirmed his suspicion!
This magnetic field could actually interfere with the operation of mecha energy and magnetism, sharply reducing mecha combat effectiveness!
"Was he really that foolish to reveal such a killer move so casually?" Admiral Gu’s face stiffened, and his expression looked rather unpleasant. Although he didn’t know how the chaotic magnetic field formed, Admiral Gu believed it was undoubtedly related to the Chongming Ore!
In today’s interstellar future, the primary combat power is no longer those magnificent cosmic battleships that blot out the sky and the sun, but rather mechas! If one possesses a magnetic field that can interfere with mecha strength, it is possible to maintain an undefeated position to some extent!
If the Human Alliance possessed this secret killer move, they would have more confidence in defending the border. Unfortunately, this foolish son of his revealed it in such a public occasion; it’s only a matter of time before someone with a keen mind researches along this line and cracks the secret!
"That... little bastard..." Admiral Gu expressed that he was a bit vexed by this son.
Although the number of enemies was large, within the magnetic field they would be reduced by 30-50%, while their own strength remained unaffected, comparatively giving them a slight edge. On the map, the opposing red dots were decreasing at a rapid pace.
Gu Ningxuan did not utilize his full strength and was considered the most expert at doing as little as possible within this team. However, being one of the nine vice-captains, others had no complaints about his behavior. Even while doing the bare minimum, the number of opponents he took down was not fewer than the others.
As the number of enemy personnel was compressed to seventy or eighty, Gu Ningxuan took a moment to glance at the small blue dot representing Su Jiameng, then gasped! She was actually surrounded by a dense cluster of red dots, and the opposing captain lurked nearby, watching fiercely!
One must know that this was the double elimination mode, and if Su Jiameng was besieged and killed, the normal free-for-all battle could end early!
Having thought this, he ceased slacking off, and the intensity of his attacks suddenly surged. A Laser Particle Sword pierced through the energy engines of several mechas, "Everyone, attack strongly, let’s capture the enemy team as soon as possible!" (To be continued.
