Chapter 306 [Empire] "Squeamish"
"So, it's just a delicate thing with uncertain effects, unstable functions, and huge energy consumption? Different energy sources have different effects?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.
Nightingale's lips curled up slightly when he heard what I said, revealing an intriguing smile. The cigarette butt in his mouth swayed slightly, as if he wasn't in a hurry to answer me. But his eyes were profound. "You're quite accurate in what you said."
He walked over to me and easily took the water gun from my hand. He lowered his head to examine it for a few seconds, then put it back into my hand. "Yes, this thing is a 'squeamish one.' The effect is unstable, the function is unreliable, and it feels very naughty to use. The nature of the energy source determines its power and form."
He seemed to notice my frown and smiled faintly. "But that's also its charm. If you just want a stable, powerful weapon, you can just buy any gun. But its advantage is that it can be flexibly adapted to your needs. Yes, whether it's 'squeamish' or 'unreliable', it can sometimes produce surprising results."
I raised an eyebrow, carefully observing the calmness and composure in his words. I twirled the water gun in my hand, pondering his words in my mind. Different energy sources do affect its output. That's quite interesting, actually.
"However, energy consumption is a big problem." My tone dropped slightly as I continued, "It consumes a considerable amount of energy source each time it's ejected. If the energy source isn't pure enough, the effect might be unsatisfactory."
Nightingale leaned against a nearby shelf, still speaking slowly. "Yes, that's one of its shortcomings. The energy consumption is very high, not only because of its range and power, but also because its energy absorption and conversion efficiency is unstable. The efficiency of different types of energy utilization varies greatly. However, you can also reduce energy consumption by adjusting the way you use it."
I felt a bit ironic. "So, if you want stable and efficient results, you first have to find the right energy source, and then you can achieve stable output?"
"That's right," he replied nonchalantly, "and this 'squeamish' can sometimes bring you unexpected surprises. Although unstable, the way it releases energy is extremely flexible. When your energy source is strong enough, its explosive power is also extremely astonishing."
I couldn't help but twirl the water gun in my hand, feeling its faint vibrations. The residual energy of the battle plant seemed to stir within the gun, as if waiting for some guidance to unleash its true power.
Although I still had some doubts in my heart, I had to admit that what Nightingale said did arouse my curiosity.
"How long can a single charge last? Can the output effect remain stable at this level during this period?" I asked thoughtfully.
Nightingale didn't seem in a hurry to answer. Instead, he chuckled softly and glanced at me. "You're very patient, which is quite rare." He was silent for a moment before slowly answering, "The duration of each charge depends on the nature and strength of the energy source you use. Normally, if the energy source is pure and sufficient, it can maintain a stable output for at least three to five minutes. As for the power, the first wave may be a little weak, but as the output accumulates, the power will gradually increase."
He paused, then continued, "Of course, stability depends on how you adjust the mode of this 'Squeamish'. Your precision in operation and the even distribution of energy will directly affect its output."
I pondered his words for a moment. "Three to five minutes?" I frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in my mind. The energy didn't seem to last very long, which meant I had to decide how to use it quickly.
"If the energy source is too unstable or impure, its output time may be greatly shortened, even to a short burst of less than a minute. At this time, you may not even be able to control its power."
"Hmm," I nodded, a glimmer of understanding dawning on me. A low-quality energy source would not only affect its output, but could also lead to unnecessary backlash. I adjusted the "water gun" in my hand slightly, then raised my head slightly to look at Nightingale, a calm and determined look in my eyes. "So, high explosive power in a short period of time depends largely on the quality of the energy source and my ability to control it, right?"
Nightingale curled her lips, a hint of approval flashing across her eyes. "You're quite clever. It's true that the better the energy source, the more explosive and sustained it will be. But you also have to be aware that this type of energy gun relies not only on external forces, but also on the operator's own strength and control."
I nodded slightly, and began to have some direction in my mind.
"Okay, it seems I roughly know how to use it." I whispered to myself, gripped the water gun tightly, and prepared to start debugging.
Nightingale didn't seem surprised by my decision. Instead, her smile deepened. "That's what you should do. Don't forget, the most important thing in battle is to master energy and timing."
His words left me slightly stunned, then I came to my senses and nodded: "I understand."
"What if it's not used up in time?" I continued to ask.
