Strengthening
The Pond returned to the universe.
Wang Dong immediately drove the mining ship and flew tirelessly in the asteroid belt mining area. In this alien space battlefield, the Pond harvested more than a thousand units of source points.
Originally, Wang Dong planned to store a part of it and wait until the Pond registered a new account on the Spark Network to recharge it.
But the windfall of a miniature gravitational collapse field generator allowed Wang Dong to escape the arduous first pot of gold stage.
Therefore, the source points obtained by the Pond can be invested in the second priority to improve the combat power of the Pond itself.
In addition to the source points, the purple and gold quality shipborne modules also need titanium crystal ore to strengthen and upgrade.
Wang Dong has no channel to obtain this kind of controlled precious mineral for the time being.
But it is suggested that low-quality shipborne modules can also obtain a certain combat power improvement.
The Pond was originally just a platform for Wang Dong to obtain the first pot of gold. Now that this task has been completed ahead of schedule, the role of the Pond in Wang Dong's plan will also change accordingly.
In the foreseeable short term, as Wang Dong's only means of hiding and protecting himself, it would not hurt to improve the combat power of the Pond. In addition, the higher the comprehensive assessment level of the combat power of the Pond, the more obvious the difference between it and the previous Tomahawk, and the less likely it is to be linked.
From this point of view, it is not a loss to invest the source points obtained this time into the strengthening of the Pond itself.
However, upgrading low-quality shipborne modules still requires some auxiliary materials.
There were some reserves on the Pond before, but the quantity was not large.
So Wang Dong had to work hard, personally go out, do it himself, and make a fortune in the mining area.
After more than 20 hours, Wang Dong collected more than 100 tons of common minerals of many types.
Some of them were left on the Pond, and some were taken back as the harvest of this mining.
Through the quantum entanglement brainwave control system, Wang Dong can remotely control the Pond to strengthen and upgrade the shipborne modules.
Take a look at the current basic situation of the Pond.
Scout-class destroyer lv7 (Pond):
Standard main gun (green) (lv2), standard armor (green) (lv2), standard engine (lv2), explorer sky radar (purple) (lv0), standard hull structure (green) (lv0).
Attached modules: Feiju jump device (purple), quantum entangled brain wave control system (green) (lv2), mirage system (gold) (lv0).
Remaining source points: 1477, source point acquisition rate: 25%.
Main gun ammunition surplus: 513 rounds, secondary gun ammunition surplus: 0, energy surplus: 2097, living supplies surplus: 986 units.
Armor damage: 2%, hull damage: 68%
The hull structure damage is as high as 68%, but it doesn't matter. As time goes by, the hull structure can recover by itself. This is a major feature of the Fire warship.
With the fusion of the ship-borne fire and the hull structure, the hull structure, the most special module in the fire warship, has a certain mysterious nature.
At present, the number of source points stored in the Pond's shipboard fire is as high as 1477 units.
For a low-quality shipboard module, it seems quite sufficient.
After silently calculating the allocation, Wang Dong began to issue instructions.
"Upgrade the quantum entangled brainwave control system from lv2 to lv3."
"Consume 200 source points and 3 tons of gas ore. Strengthen the quantum entangled brainwave manipulation system (green) lv2 to lv3, which takes 3 hours. Are you sure?"
"OK."
Remaining source points: 1277.
"Do you want to consume 1 unit of low-level energy crystal to double the module growth value?"
Wang Dong chose "Yes"!
Although it consumes low-level energy crystals, the quantum entanglement brainwave control system is quite practical for Wang Dong at this stage and is in the first sequence.
Therefore, even if a better fire battleship is replaced later, the enhancement level of the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system needs to be reset to zero and restarted, and low-level energy crystals are still needed to "double the growth value".
But Wang Dong still chose to invest in low-level energy crystals.
Low-level energy crystal reserves: 53 units.
As expected, with the double growth value bonus of the auxiliary system, the range of action increased by 0.04 light years to 0.13 light years.
It was not enough, Wang Dong continued to upgrade the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system.
"Upgrade the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system from lv3 to lv4."
"Consume 200 source points and 4 tons of gas ore. Strengthen the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system (green) lv4 to lv5, which takes 4 hours. Are you sure?"
"yes."
Remaining source points: 1077.
"Do you want to consume 1 unit of low-level energy crystal to double the module growth value?"
Wang Dong chose "Yes"!
Low-level energy crystal reserves: 52 units.
The range of action increased by 0.04 light years again, reaching 0.17 light years.
Wang Dong continued, and he upgraded the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system to lv5 in one breath!
Remaining source points: 877
Low-level energy crystal reserves: 51 units.
"The quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system (green) (lv5) has been upgraded, and the current properties are as follows.
Energy consumption: 1 point/hour, range: 0.21 light years.
Upgrade requirements: 1. 400 source points; 2. 6 tons of gas ores; 3. Hull structure lv1."
At this point, Wang Dong upgraded the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system to the current limit.
After the quantum entangled brainwave manipulation system was enhanced to lv5, the conditions required for its upgrade changed significantly.
First, the number of source points required doubled from 200 units to 400 units.
Secondly, to further enhance, the enhancement level of the hull structure is required to be at least lv1.
This is normal. After multiple enhancements, the ship-borne modules need a more inclusive hull structure to carry them.
However, the enhancement of the hull structure requires titanium crystals, so further enhancement can only be discussed later.
Next, it is to choose between the three modules of main gun, armor and energy shield.
Wang Dong has already sorted out his thoughts.
"Upgrade the standard armor from level 2 to level 3."
"Consume 200 source points and 25 tons of phantom titanium ore to strengthen the standard armor (green) level 2 to level 3. It will take 2 hours. Are you sure?"
"yes!"
Remaining source points: 677.
"Do you want to consume 1 unit of low-level energy crystal to double the module growth value?"
Wang Dong chose "No".
3 low-level energy crystals were invested in the quantum entangled brainwave manipulation system because every investment has enough benefits.
The other low-quality ship-borne modules on the Pond are not worth the consumption.
The low-level energy crystals are not blown by the wind.
"The upgrade of the standard armor (green) (lv3) has been completed. The current attributes are as follows.
Defense strength: 15; material: alloy; defense attributes: kinetic energy 14%, particle 14%, laser 14%, mysterious 0%.
Upgrade requirements: 1. 200 source points; 2. 30 tons of phantom titanium ore."
Not much change.
The defense strength is increased by two units. At least when the Pond continues to hide in the asteroid belt mining area, it will be less likely to be damaged when it collides with small meteorites.
The defense attribute has increased slightly, one percentage point, which is better than nothing.
The growth potential of green quality ship-borne modules is only so high.
Wang Dong originally wanted to upgrade the armor to another level, but the required amount of phantom titanium ore was not enough, so he had to give up for the time being.
