Resurrection Empire

Ren Zhong's desk was filled with dismantling tools, both manual and automated. Everything from fine screwdrivers to automatic disassemblers was at hand.

He was very curious about the internal structure of this thing, but unfortunately, he couldn't even understand its assembly process or its materials at first glance.

He fiddled with the little black box, feeling like a cow chewing a pumpkin, unable to find where to start.

The little black box had only one integrated external interface, which served both as a power supply and for data transmission.

Other than that, there wasn't a single screw interface to be found, not even a seam.

Ren Zhong had no idea where to start dismantling.

But he was mentally prepared; it was his first time attempting to dismantle an imported interstellar trade product, so it was understandable that it would be challenging.

After about ten minutes, around 8:30 in the evening, the travel-worn Ju Qingmeng arrived.

Recently, the work at the Military Weapon Store had remained busy. Ren Zhong's comprehensive upgrade of the Evolution Armor was still not complete, with about 20% of the parts yet to be replaced with evolutionary metal, keeping Ju Qingmeng very busy.

But in the afternoon, when she heard Ren Zhong say he was thinking of going to Chromium Carbon Town to ponder over the Ghost Particle Communicator left by Yang Bingzhong, she knew Ren Zhong was bound to hit a wall. She simply gave herself a little break, taking a paid flying vehicle straight to Chromium Carbon Town after work, planning to skip work the next day.

If it were before, she, who particularly cared about her work performance evaluation, wouldn't dare be so brazen.

But now, with Ren Zhong's rising status, her position as "Ren's lover" in the Military Weapon Store system had slightly changed.

What truly transformed her situation was Ren Zhong's straightforward fallout with Wang Jinsou yesterday.

A whole day had passed, and this madman Wang Jinsou, who never suffered losses, hadn't taken any action.

Ju Qingmeng realized that her life was truly different now.

Under Ren Zhong's protection, she, a Second Level Citizen, once again felt the taste of "freedom."

...

"This thing's shell looks like it's integrally formed with the interface, probably using atom-level assembly technology that Source Star hasn't mastered yet."

After pondering with Ren Zhong for a long time, Ju Qingmeng said this.

Ren Zhong, feeling quite troubled, said, "So it means there's no way to safely open it?"

Ju Qingmeng placed the little black box on a material analyzer again, "I'll take another look."

After waiting for a long time and looking at the analysis data, Ju Qingmeng said, "It's still an alloy material, but the strength is extremely high and can isolate scanning perspectives. It's usually used in the core moving parts of Exoskeleton Armor, or the engine rotors of ships and airships. If we forcefully cut it, the intense vibrations would likely damage the precise structures that might exist inside."

Ren Zhong asked, "Can we use wire cutting?"

"There's no cutting wire that surpasses its material; at least we can't buy one."

"What about thermal cutting?"

"That would certainly also damage the structure inside."

Ren Zhong sighed, "So, it means there are no other ways except for violent dismantling."

"Theoretically, yes, mainly because we don't know the method. Higher civilizations haven't provided a repair manual to the Alson Group either."

"Of course, if it were me, for something like this, I'd only be happy to sell it as a finished product. I just didn't expect, that even after decades, we still can't handle it."

Previously, Ju Qingmeng had already found the code and model of this Ghost Particle Communicator through the Military Weapon Store's management system.

Before ending up in Yang Bingzhong's hands, it had served in a county-level communication base station for more than fifty years.

Its full name is the Unidirectional Ghost Particle Communication Device.

It is essentially a unidirectional terminal device, capable only of efficient communication with Ghost Particle Central Stations that have contractual agreements with it.

After falling into Yang Bingzhong's hands, it became a reliable tool for him to transmit large amounts of data instantly and exchange important information with the outside world, without ever worrying about disconnections or lag.

However, the new Ghost Particle Communicator installed in the Screw Rock Excavator and Hunter was different. Besides being able to communicate with specified central stations, devices of the same class could directly interact with each other, forming an ultra-low latency, high information throughput wireless internet of everything.

The new communicator is also called the Omni-directional Communicator.

This is the fundamental difference between the new and old versions.

In recent years, it is because of the emergence of the Omni-directional Communicator that the old version, originally a restricted device, has gradually been relaxed and spread to the public.

Seeing Ren Zhong's pensive look, Ju Qingmeng curiously asked, "What exactly are you trying to study?"
