Breaking through the Stealth Array was not as simple as imagined—the arrays were all connected to Self-Destruct Devices.
It was only because Qu Jianlei was extremely familiar with Stealth Arrays, had seen many self-destruct mechanisms, and was sufficiently vigilant.
Moreover, his divine sense had been a great help, allowing him to identify the well-hidden self-destruct mechanism from outside the array.
Without those three prerequisites, capturing an intact Stealth Array would have been extraordinarily difficult.
From this, one could guess that this array had probably come from the Alliance. Otherwise, why would they set up a Self-Destruct Device in a Secret Camp?
Qu Jianlei understood that mindset well. When he had been weak, he had repeatedly built Secret Camps.
Among the many Secret Camps he had set up, almost none had Self-Destruct Devices.
They were nothing more than resources. Even if he could not use them himself and outsiders discovered them, it would only be a minor loss.
More importantly, setting up a Self-Destruct Device required extra resources. Was it really worth it?
So the self-destruct mechanism should have been aimed at the Stealth Array. The resources stored inside could not all be destroyed.
The two Secret Camps that had been blasted apart also fully proved that point.
However, the Alliance's Stealth Arrays really differed quite a bit from the ones Qu Jianlei set up!
The overall approach was not vastly different, but the details differed greatly.
And those differences reflected many entirely different lines of thought, as though their development paths had diverged.
If possible, Qu Jianlei truly wanted to carefully study the similarities and differences.
Other people's stones could be used to polish jade. When it came to research, he had basically been trudging forward alone.
When Nutrient Solution and the others had questions, they could come ask him.
