Chapter 15
Activation

Of course, this control method has its drawbacks.

Just like the system's previous "Permanent Function One," it consumes Wang Dong's energy when used.

This control method, of course, is not without its consumption, and it needs to be borne by Wang Dong himself.

This high-speed data link method also consumes energy.

Maintaining it for a long time is unrealistic for the current Wang Dong.

It can be used during battles, but during normal times, it is more suitable to use the ordinary mode.

Besides the "Scan" and "High-Speed Human-Computer Data Interaction" permanent functions, after the warship game auxiliary system is activated, the previously unusable "Optional Functions" are no longer grayed out.

And each function now has its corresponding usage conditions.

Optional Function One: Interspatial Signal Capture (Consumes one low-grade energy crystal each time)

Optional Function Two: Module Growth Value Doubled (Consumes different energy crystals depending on the module quality)

Optional Function Three: Module Feature Selection (Consumes different energy crystals depending on the module quality)

These three optional functions all have remarkable effects.

However, each time these functions are used, energy crystals are needed.

Finally, the "Advanced Function" also shows changes.

Advanced Function One: Double Source Point Acquisition (Activated by one unit of high-grade energy crystal)

Advanced Function Two: Interspatial Civilization Level Restriction Removal (Activated by one unit of high-grade energy crystal)

Unlike the "Permanent Function" without any conditional restrictions and the "Optional Function" that requires energy crystals for each use, the "Advanced Function" requires high-grade energy crystals for activation.

High-grade energy crystals are rare and expensive.

Fortunately, there is no need to use the "Advanced Function" for now.

"Query basic data of this ship."

Yuan Shu was still there. To prevent him from discovering the abnormalities brought by the warship auxiliary system, Wang Dong changed to using voice mode to issue commands.

The shipboard computer does not have true intelligence and does not express any abnormality towards the new captain's repetition of commands.

As the command was issued, the large screen on the front of the command center immediately displayed the corresponding data, and the soft electronic voice also reported it at an appropriate speed.

The content shown was the same as what Wang Dong had received before.

"Armor damage level 38%."

After a brief pause, Wang Dong raised his hand and pointed, opening the detailed information about the armor damage.

The data was clear.

The damage to the War Axe's hull armor was mainly concentrated at the tail, especially near the engine nozzle, where several locations showed "severe damage" for armor damage.

The displayed color was a glaring red.

Apart from that, the rest was basically green.

It was obvious that it was the damage received during the pursuit.

As for the hull damage, it was not a big problem.

4% was far from the critical point, and it did not affect the general operation of the warship at all.

"Activate silent navigation and slowly transfer to this coordinate point."

Wang Dong gently tapped the sky map radar image on the left and issued a transfer command to the War Axe's shipboard computer.

Everything else could be dealt with later. Strategic maneuvering was the priority.

Wang Dong clearly remembered that in his previous life, it was because he wasted too much time at the scene that the Jin family search ships discovered his whereabouts.

He struggled to delay until he was finally severely damaged before he managed to escape, barely.

The War Axe's armor damage level reached 85% at that time!

The hull damage level also reached 56%!

It could be said that it was heavily injured, losing most of its life.

The reason why Wang Dong took the risk to speak to Yuan Shu was to gain this precious time.

Compared to the Mine King II, the War Axe's shipboard computer was obviously much better.

Even in the asteroid belt mine area, a region with complex celestial bodies, it could still use the automatic navigation function.

Wang Dong didn't need to steer himself. After setting the destination, the War Axe adjusted its four directional engines, cooperating with the main engine's micro-thrust, and the entire ship, gracefully and gently, avoided large asteroids and meteoroids, slowly heading towards the depths of the mine area.

Of course, there was also a significant factor in the thick armor surrounding the War Axe's hull, which could completely ignore low-speed collisions with ordinary small meteoroids.

Having thick skin is just that awesome.

Then there is the energy shield, which, due to its high energy consumption, is basically not activated in non-combat situations.

At the same time, Wang Dong continued to browse the material list, then circled out the mini-disposable detectors listed on the list.

He successively deployed more than a dozen, carefully placing them on nearby asteroids.

Watching Wang Dong operate in an orderly manner, the only remaining eye of Yuan Shu flashed slightly.

"Little Brother Wang Dong, have you ever had any experience with operating a warship before?"

Wang Dong turned his head and smiled at Yuan Shu, a little shyly.

"I am a loyal fan of the virtual game 'Star Sea Journey,' and I have accumulated over 2,400 hours of game time, using a novice ship in nearly 1,200 battles, with a win rate exceeding 50%."
