"I reckon... Sneaky Boss, you're a real genius." Crooked Mouth's mouth seemed to have twisted a little further. After running the calculations twice to verify Cheng Mingrui's design, he sighed in admiration.
Cheng Mingrui took no pride in the compliment. Knowledge and ideas came so easily that his formidable knowledge almost felt as though it did not belong to him, as if the more the Boyz in his Clutch thought, the more capable he became.

The Tyranids' genetic technology was unparalleled, and they evolved rapidly, developing new adaptations whenever they encountered new weapons. That was another reason Cheng Mingrui preferred to spend his time on research and development.
"I reckon the new weapon ought to look like this. Reinforce the coils to improve performance and concentration. The overall design is the same as the original Dimensional Rumble Cannon, but here at the emitter, the curved shell opens up.
"Inside is a focusing ring. When the curved sphere opens and exposes the focusing ring inside, it becomes the Penetrating Dimensional Rumble Cannon. Its range and power are no worse than a Zzap Gun's, but unlike a Zzap Gun, its damage won't be reduced by thick armor or a Force Field Shield."

Like a humble student, Crooked Mouth watched attentively, learned diligently, and took notes on his terminal.
Once Cheng Mingrui finished explaining, he immediately said excitedly, "Great design! We can roll it out. Every new ship can have
