During this time, Wang Dong made another discovery.
Even though they were both orange-quality shipborne modules, they were not affected by the same degree of rank suppression when facing that Cthulhu Beast.
The "Toughness Biological Armor," an armor module, seemed to suffer little noticeable rank suppression in the effectiveness of its "Adaptability" trait. It still retained most of its effects.
Its damage reduction was only two or three percentage points below the theoretical value, a difference that was almost negligible.
That was quite unlike those orange-quality Star Destroyer Cannons.
Wang Dong had a few guesses about why.
One possibility was that there was a difference between passive and active modules.
Another was that the rules of rank suppression were not as simple as they seemed.
But with a great battle underway, this was clearly no time to dwell on the matter.
The sensible thing was to record the relevant data and hand it over to the staff for analysis after the battle.
Thanks to the "Toughness Biological Armor's" outstanding performance, the pressure on the Sky Peng Horizontal was greatly reduced.
But the "Toughness Biological Armor" alone was clearly not enough.
The Sky Peng Horizontal's energy shield was still losing more than 250,000 points per second on average.
At that rate of "bleeding," even with the Sky Peng Horizontal's energy shield durability of over fifty million, it could last only a little over two hundred seconds at most.
Not even enough time to charge the Star Destroyer Cannons once!
So another orange-quality auxiliary module aboard the Sky Peng Horizontal, one that was rarely used, was activated as well!
"Three Chi Qiong Gou Yu"!
In fact, to be on the safe side, Wang Dong had already activated the "Three Chi Qiong Gou Yu" before the Sky Peng Horizontal engaged the Cthulhu Beast
