After upgrading two or three modules, the main issue in each “Interspace Battlefield” shifted from surviving to acquiring as many Source Points as possible.
Then, when the Fire Seed Battleship’s combat power and level reached a certain point, and it started to touch higher-level interstellar civilizations, it would begin to “crouch” and develop.
Survival and Source Points, this cycle, was always present in the Fire Seed Battleship’s journey in the “Interspace Battlefield”, like an endless Ouroboros.
As for the Battleaxe, it had already passed the initial novice stage, possessing a Level 6 rank. Against a civilization like the Cliff-Tai, which wasn’t considered strong even among first-class interstellar civilizations, it held a clear advantage.
“The remaining question is how to achieve the greatest possible results within a short 24-hour period.”
Wang Dong pondered.
“First goal, at least secure 1,000 Source Points.”
Wang Dong’s first step was to acquire 1,000 Source Points and change the Battleaxe’s name.
The name of a Fire Seed Battleship was determined after fusing with the Fire Seed, engraved in the onboard Fire Seed and couldn’t be changed arbitrarily.
Changing it required 1,000 Source Points for each attempt.
This was a hefty sum.
The ship’s name was engraved within the Fire Seed.
Generally, Fire Seed Battleships couldn’t use “fake names” between them.
When verifying identity, the true ship name – the “Fire Seed” code – would inevitably be sent to the other party, making fabrication impossible.
During information exchange between Fire Seed Battleships, their onboard Fire Seeds couldn’t be falsified in any form. The only thing the captain could choose was the level of access to be granted.
For instance, you could choose to open the basic information of your Fire Seed Battleship, such as the ship’s name, comprehensive assessment level, etc. You could also choose to only open the ship’s name without revealing the level.
Alternatively, you could choose not to open anything and remain an “anonymous” entity.
However, you couldn’t make your Fire Seed Battleship display a “fake name” or “fake level.”
The Battleaxe was on the Jin family’s blacklist.
While not as drastic as the previous life, where the two ships clashed in the mining zone, attracting widespread attention, the arrival of a Jin family Fire Seed Battleship would inevitably draw the attention of the local forces in the mining zone star system.
With the local forces observing, the intentions of this Jin family ship wouldn’t be difficult to ascertain.
After all, the Jin family’s scheme to deceive Yuan Shu had occurred on KQ-03.
Never underestimate the intelligence gathering capabilities of local forces within their own sphere of influence.
Following this, there wouldn’t just be one Jin family ship searching for the Battleaxe in the mining zone star system.
If they could discover the Battleaxe before the Jin family ship, regardless of how they dealt with it, a significant reward was practically guaranteed.
So Wang Dong’s most urgent predicament was that he could only stay on the mining zone planet for the time being, and the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system had a limited effective range, preventing the Battleaxe from venturing too far.
Simultaneously, numerous individuals would be conducting a wide-net search within the mining zone star system, putting the Battleaxe at risk of exposure.
Earning 1,000 Source Points and changing the Battleaxe’s ID would significantly reduce the risk of direct exposure.
This is because the nearest cosmic void to the mining zone star system was still a long distance away. Theoretically, it was impossible to enter the “Interspace Battlefield” in a short time and acquire enough Source Points to carry out this “name change” operation.
Of course, there’s the possibility that the Battleaxe itself has a certain Source Point reserve, but at least, compared to “Battleaxe” or “anonymous”, once the Battleaxe changes its name, its suspicion priority will be significantly lower.
Shifting attention back to the present.
Each Level 1 civilization ship is roughly 1 Source Point.
Each 10,000 civilization members are 1 Source Point.
Civilization creations receive Source Points based on their value, following a reference ratio, but single-unit gains rarely exceed those of ships.
Therefore, in general, ships are prioritized, followed by population centers when encountering habitable planets.
In the absence of both, destruction of civilization creations, such as satellites, mining vessels, various equipment, etc., would be the last resort.
The Battleaxe lacks large-scale weapons of mass destruction. After all, it’s just a destroyer. Its main and secondary cannons are solely designed for engaging single units.
Choosing the population, a single main cannon blast wouldn’t actually kill many.
Therefore, on the surface, Wang Dong’s target should be the enemy’s ships, with over two thousand of them, more than enough to satisfy his needs.
However, for a seasoned veteran like Wang Dong, this isn’t the case.
He pondered, based on the intelligence gathered.
After a long pause, he sighed.
“After 30,000 years, they’ve only reached Level 1 interstellar civilization. This development speed is pathetic. Ordinary ships have a maximum combat power of 48, negligible. A few mother ships have a combat power of only 102, equivalent to a blank Level 0 Fire Seed Battleship. For the Battleaxe, they are equally inconsequential.
They use nuclear energy, so there will be nuclear bombs. However, nuclear bombs are generally ineffective in space battles. Primarily due to their slow speed, the Battleaxe could easily evade them.
Unfortunately, nuclear bombs must have strict security authentication, rendering them unusable. Otherwise, with the population density on these planets, it would be easy to farm Source Points.”
