"Shield technology still needs improvement!"
At Lü Yongchang's words, Tao Yuda and Cao Liangcai exchanged a helpless glance.
"Professor, I think this issue is acceptable."
After weighing his words, Tao Yuda spoke again. "At this stage, plasma shields offer extremely strong defenses. As you said, they're a last resort for survival."
"That's right, Professor," Cao Liangcai added, trying to persuade him. "If things really reach the point where we need to activate a plasma shield to survive, whether we can return fire isn't really important."
Despite their combined efforts to persuade him, Lü Yongchang shook his head, his expression still resolute.
"No!"
"It's true that a plasma shield is a last resort for survival."
"But imagine this."
"Suppose you're fighting an interstellar war. Surrounded by enemy ships, you activate your plasma shield at the last possible moment."
"But you have no way to return fire."
"All you can do is watch as the shield generation units overload and fail one after another under heavy enemy fire."
"How would you feel in that situation?"
Tao Yuda's and Cao Liangcai's expressions shifted slightly.
They exchanged another glance, each seeing guilt in the other's eyes.
"Remember." Seemingly noticing the change in their expressions, Lü Yongchang softened his tone.
"This technology is meant for interstellar war."
"Even if we can only increase the survival rate by 0.01%, we must refine it as much as possible."
"But, Professor, our current weapons can't penetrate this plasma shield." Cao Liangcai spread his hands helplessly. "Unless we imitate what the Lator flagship did."
"The Lator Civilization's flagship?" Lü Yongchang frowned.
Memories gradually surfaced.
During their confrontation with the Lator Civilization's flagship, that extraordinary gravitational membrane had briefly opened a slit.
Through that slit, the flagship enclosed within the Gravity Shield had been able to attack targets outside.
