There was a reason why Wang Dong did not choose to enable that optional function of the auxiliary system at such a time.
On the one hand, it was naturally due to the insufficient amount of low-grade energy crystals, which were only 2 units.
On the other hand, it was because in this life, Wang Dong did not wish to bind himself always to the Tomahawk, which was now the Pond.
The Pond was only a third-generation ship, with a severe lack of growth potential.
The quality of the ship itself was also not high.
Before he was reborn, there was really no way, but after he was reborn, Wang Dong already had higher requirements for his ship.
The Pond ship could only be used as a transition.
There was no need to waste energy crystals on it.
Regarding how to deal with the pond, Wang Dong has had a good plan since he was reborn.
First of all, the Pond, which was the original Tomahawk, was definitely the first thing to get hold of.
Although the Tomahawk number would bring about a series of troubles, especially the Jin family's recourse.
However, the Mirage System and the other three additional modules were temptations that Wang Dong could not part with.
Secondly, after inheriting the Tomahawk from Yuan Shu's hands, there was a bottom line that existed in Wang Dong's heart.
That was to absolutely not expose his identity.
If this bottom line could not be accomplished, Wang Dong would resolutely give up the "Tomahawk.".
While life and wealth are more important, Wang Dong is not an ordinary hot-blooded teenager; he can still distinguish.
Of course, before giving up the "Tomahawk," Wang Dong will first unload a few additional modules on the Tomahawk and hide them well.
The development of things was far smoother than expected.
After obtaining enough source points through the many alien space battlefields, the hull repair and renaming of the warship had to be completed.
Due to the buffer time limit of the ship's fire, after each entry into the battlefield of alien space, it would take at least a month before they could cross time and space again and enter the other space battlefield.
Originally, it was expected that this process would take several months.
However, because of the "dedication" of the Yatai civilization, Wang Dong only spent a few days accomplishing this goal.
After strengthening and upgrading both the armor and the patrol radar modules to LV.2, the main gun, armor, engine, and patrol radar of the Pond's standard modules had all reached the LV.2 level.
At the same time, the Pond's overall combat power rating also rose to LV.7!
The ship's basic public information would be changed from "Scout Class Destroyer (Tomahawk) LV.6" to "Scout Class Destroyer (Pond) LV.7.".
Now it was safe enough.
The "Pond," with a comprehensive evaluation of LV.7, compared to the "Tomahawk," with a comprehensive evaluation of LV.6, were two completely different warships.
Just now, Wang Dong spent a full 1,518 source points to change the name and strengthen the battleship module before changing the "Tomahawk" into the "Pond."
1518 source points, according to the average rate of acquiring source points for normal fire warships, meant a span of at least several decades of effort.
Relying on this change, Wang Dong finally managed to draw a deep enough line between the "Pond" and the original "Tomahawk.".
A boundary that required at least a few decades to cross.
At this moment, the "Pond," after returning to this universe, will no longer make people associate it directly with the "Tomahawk.".
There were still a lot of source points left, enough to strengthen a certain standard module on the "Pond" once or twice.
However, Wang Dong did not continue to strengthen the standard module but turned his attention to the additional module.
Whether it was the remote control function of the Quantum Entanglement Brainwave Manipulation System or the superb concealment function of the Mirage System, they were all irreplaceable for Wang Dong at this stage.
Therefore, it was more valuable to prioritize consumption on these two modules.
The "Pond," with a comprehensive combat power rating of LV.7, was already sufficient for use in the current stage of the battlefield in alien space.
After the fire battleship's overall rating exceeded LV.10, its opponents in the interspace battlefield would no longer be the fat meat-like first-class interstellar civilizations.
On the contrary, there would even be a probability of encountering a grade-three interstellar civilization.
To be on the safe side, he decided not to further raise the comprehensive evaluation level of the "Pond" for the time being.
Anyway, what he had to do next was to hide carefully rather than jump out to fight head-on.
"Upgrading the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system from LV.0 to LV.1."
"Consuming 200 source points and 1 ton of gas ore. Strengthening the Quantum Entanglement Brainwave Manipulation System (Green) from LV.0 to LV.1, taking 30 minutes, is it OK?"
"OK."
Remaining source points: 328.
"Does it consume 1 unit of low-grade energy crystal to double the growth value of the module?"
This time, Wang Dong chose "yes"!
With that, the only two units of low-level energy crystals on hand were once again consumed by half.
"Quantum Entanglement Brainwave Manipulation System (Green) (LV.1) upgrade completed; current attributes are as follows:.
Energy consumption: 1 point per hour; range of effect: 0.05 light years.
Requirements for upgrade: 1. 200 source points; 2. 2 tons of gas ore."
The range of action has been increased by 0.04 light years!
If the double growth value of the auxiliary system was deducted, then under normal circumstances, this reinforcement would have boosted the scope of action by 0.02 light years.
The enhancement boost of the additional module was, obviously, greater than that of the standard module.
This was also one of the reasons why Wang Dong valued the additional module more.
The growability was higher.
Combined with the auxiliary system, just one enhancement directly caused the Quantum Entanglement Brainwave Manipulation System's range of action to increase to five times that of the original!
Terrifying.
