There are two types of module slots: standard modules and additional modules.
Among them, the number of standard module slots on each Seed Warship is constant.
On a destroyer-class warship, there are only five standard module slots initially: main gun, armor, engine, radar, and energy shield.
There is one of each standard module slot, totaling five.
The number of additional module slots is not fixed, and each Seed Warship has a different number of initial additional module slots depending on the quality and level of its hull structure.
It is generally between one and three.
Later, as the hull structure reinforcement level increases, the number of additional module slots will also increase.
Overall, the number of module slots on each Seed Warship is always limited and scarce.
But it is undeniable that any functional shipboard module will often give a Seed Warship unique capabilities.
This capability is often unreasonable and unpredictable.
Of course, it doesn't mean that any civilization artifact can be plugged and played on a Seed Warship. There are still some special requirements.
Wang Dong doesn't know what the specific requirements are. In his short life before his rebirth, he was always on the run from assassins and never received a formal education.
He only knows that it may involve some mysterious rules.
But this is normal. The shipboard Seed itself, and the existence of Seed Warships, involve a lot of mysterious rules—if everything can be explained clearly, is it still mysterious?
However, Yuan Shu is here now, and he seems to be in a good mood.
The Yuan family is also a member of the privileged class, and their ancestors have also been wealthy. They probably know a lot about some secrets.
Wang Dong's mind was racing, and he seized the opportunity to ask the question he had in his mind.
“Mr. Yuan, what kind of civilization artifacts can be used as shipboard modules on a Seed Warship? It shouldn't be all of them, otherwise it would be too overpowered, right?”
Yuan Shu was indeed in a good mood.
He didn't mind Wang Dong's interruption, but explained with great interest: “There is indeed a threshold for this. Only creations that are recognized or accepted by the shipboard Seed can be loaded into the module slots of the Seed Warship and used as shipboard modules.
As for the specific conditions, there is currently no precise way to determine them. There are dozens of research schools in the Purple Crystal Kingdom alone, large and small.
But one thing is universally recognized.
That is, creations that are imbued with some kind of belief, spirit, or that were infused with hard work during their manufacture, have a higher chance of being accepted by the shipboard Seed and can be used as shipboard modules.”
Wang Dong kept Yuan Shu's words in mind.
This was something he never heard before his rebirth.
As the saying goes, “Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse”. Yuan Shu still has some goods.
Seeing that Wang Dong didn't ask any further, Yuan Shu continued his introduction.
“Compatibility is a major characteristic of Seed Warships.
But if that was all, Seed Warships wouldn't be the force that allows our human civilization to dominate the stars.
Another major characteristic of Seed Warships is their growth potential!”
Wang Dong's spirits lifted. This was it, the true use of his shipboard game auxiliary system.
“Relying on the special nature of the shipboard Seed, Seed Warships can enter a different space from this universe, a different space, after detecting a certain spatial signal, with the help of the shipboard Seed.
Based on years of research, we can basically confirm that this different space should be another universe different from the universe where our civilization resides.
Seed Warships fight in the different space, destroying civilization artifacts in the different space or killing civilization lifeforms in the different space, can all obtain the mysterious resource, “Source Point”.
Source Points, combined with minerals or resources, can be used to strengthen and enhance the various shipboard modules loaded on Seed Warships, enhancing the warship's combat power.
This enhancement speed far exceeds the growth of warship combat power brought about by the normal increase in civilization technology levels!
The combination of compatibility and growth potential makes each Seed Warship a powerful weapon with unlimited potential.
As time passes, human civilization has more and more powerful weapons, and then they feed back into the development of all aspects of civilization itself. This is the fundamental reason why our civilization continues to thrive!
Glory to Seed Warships, glory to our human civilization!”
Yuan Shu said this and gently patted the seat beneath him, somewhat emotionally.
Wang Dong was also somewhat moved.
Transmigrators are also part of humanity, so naturally they would feel proud of this civilization's prosperity.
“So each Seed Warship has its uniqueness, especially Seed Warships that have been strengthened and upgraded to a certain level, almost no two are exactly the same.
Of course, due to the limitations of the Source Point acquisition rate, Seed Warships cannot actually be infinitely strengthened and grow.
The so-called Source Point acquisition rate is simply the efficiency of Seed Warships acquiring Source Points.
The first-generation Seed Warships have a Source Point acquisition rate of one hundred percent. After that, every time the ship captain's authority is transferred, the Source Point acquisition rate is halved.
