Chapter 22
Mirage

After merging with the shipborne Spark, the warship itself undergoes a transformation in nature, becoming the carrier of all shipborne modules, and also possessing its own characteristics.

The former is a functional module possessed by all Spark warships. A standard Spark warship must possess these five modules.

A Spark warship that is not equipped with these five standard modules is like a cripple, a disabled person, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly affected.

The four auxiliary cannons on the Battle Axe are not part of the shipborne modules covered by the shipborne Spark.

They belong to the category of external equipment included within the hull structure, and their strengthening and growth are linked to the hull structure.

Similar equipment includes the ship's internal tractor beam generator, gravity generation device, life support system, etc.

These equipment are integrated into the hull structure, and as the hull structure's strengthening level rises, the performance of these corresponding equipment will also be strengthened and improved.

Therefore, the need for upgrading and strengthening the hull structure is much higher than that of ordinary shipborne modules.

Normal green-quality shipborne modules require 200 units of Origin Points for upgrading, while hull structure modules directly jump to ten times that amount!

Normal green-quality shipborne modules require mineral resources that are mostly common ores for upgrading, while hull structure modules directly jump to "Titanium Crystal," a rare mineral.

Then there are the additional modules.

The Battle Axe currently has three additional modules: the Pegasus Warp Device, the Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System, and the Mirage System.

They completely occupy the Battle Axe's only three "Additional Module Slots."

Among them, the Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System and the Mirage System come from the Yuan family's own foundation.

The remaining Pegasus Warp Device was obtained by Yuan Shu during a "Interstellar Battlefield" when he explored a mysterious relic by chance, a creation of an alien civilization.

These details are all recorded in the captain's log left by Yuan Shu.

The various shipborne modules on the Battle Axe.

Among the standard modules, the auxiliary cannons, engine, and sky-survey radar modules are all marked in black font.

This indicates that these three shipborne modules are all unranked, inferior modules.

While the main cannon, armor, and hull structure modules are marked in green font.

This indicates that these three shipborne modules are of green quality, also known as good quality.

They are one level higher in quality than the inferior ones.

Specifically, their performance is better, and when upgraded through Origin Points, the amount of improvement is also higher than that of the inferior shipborne modules.

In Wang Dong's eyes, these six standard modules are all unremarkable.

The reason why Wang Dong values the Battle Axe so much is actually mainly due to those three additional modules.

First, the Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System.

Although it is only of green quality, this module is quite practical.

It is even more significant for Wang Dong.

In order to possess the Battle Axe without exposing himself to the Jin family's sight and hiding his captain's identity, the effect of the Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System is indispensable.

In fact, if it were not for the Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System, Wang Dong might not have chosen to become the captain of the Battle Axe.

This is important.

The Battle Axe's onboard light brain can handle some situations, but it cannot handle all situations, especially when being chased.

This means that personnel must be on duty on the ship at all times.

However, currently, there is only one crew member on board the Battle Axe: Wang Dong.

Without the Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System, Wang Dong would have to stay on the Battle Axe all the time.

Such a clear anomaly.

Then, it wouldn't take a few days for Wang Dong's identity to be exposed.

This completely goes against Wang Dong's principle of standing outside the Jin family's sight.

He doesn't want to relive the tragic experience of being targeted by a major force at the stage of a young sapling that hasn't started to grow, like in his previous life.

Only by relying on the remote control function of the Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System can Wang Dong maintain his previous interstellar miner identity on the surface while being able to command the Battle Axe at any time.

Therefore, for now, the Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System is irreplaceable.

Second, the Mirage System.

An additional module of gold quality!

Above unranked is green quality, good quality.

Above green quality is blue quality, excellent quality.

Further up is purple quality, precious quality.

After precious quality comes gold quality, heroic quality.

Meaning that gold-quality shipborne modules are the cornerstone of stepping onto the path of heroism.

Every gold-quality shipborne module represents a "qualitative" improvement for a Spark warship.

And in Wang Dong's opinion, this Mirage System is also considered excellent among gold-quality shipborne modules.

Its operating principle is unknown, a typical creation of a mysterious civilization.

Once activated, the entire warship will enter a stealth state.

This stealth state has strong concealment, and ordinary warships' sky-survey radars are unable to detect its whereabouts.

More importantly, the Mirage System's stealth performance has a high priority and is not easily interfered with.

The final "60" in the description refers to the fact that sky-survey radars with detection accuracy below 60 cannot detect this stealth effect.
