He couldn’t believe he was stuck for over an hour on what he thought would be the simplest step. Wang Dong was really getting frustrated.
He rubbed his temples, gathered himself, and started on the next step.
“Just changing the name isn’t enough to completely hide the fact that it’s the Battleaxe—no, it’s the Pond—now.
The Pond’s tail armor was heavily damaged, and that’s a very distinctive feature.”
It costs 1,000 source points to change the name of a battleship, and maybe there were more than 1,000 source points left on the old Battleaxe?
Furthermore, there are some special additional modules that can also change the name of a battleship.
So, just changing the name of the battleship wasn’t safe enough.
“Consume source points to repair the battleship’s damage!”
The physical structure of a Fire Seed battleship isn’t that different from an ordinary battleship. For example, the armor is made of alloy, just like a normal battleship, with the same performance parameters.
But these alloy armor plates, when mounted on a Fire Seed battleship, perform far better than ordinary battleships.
This is because of the existence of the “Fire Seed.”
This magical creation, the “Fire Seed”, can emit energy fluctuations that enhance all the modules of the entire battleship.
The battleship is just a carrier, the “Fire Seed” is the core soul.
So-called source point enhancement does not enhance the battleship itself, but the Fire Seed it carries.
Normally, the changes made by module enhancement do not alter the module itself, but instead, the Fire Seed’s enhancement of that module.
The LV.2 main cannon on the Pond, if you remove it, is no different in performance from a normal battleship’s main cannon.
However, if you switch it with a main cannon of the same specifications and install it on the Pond.
The Fire Seed on the Battleaxe will empower it to become a LV.2 main cannon. It is more powerful than a standard battleship’s main cannon by a few degrees.
Repairing a damaged Fire Seed battleship is actually not difficult. Most low-quality, standardized modules with similar technology can be repaired in a regular repair shop.
If the damage is severe, simply replace the module with an identical one. Simple and convenient.
Of course, this replacement is only for identical parts. For example, replacing a standard main cannon with a standard main cannon, or replacing a standard engine with a standard engine.
These qualityless modules have been standardized, and even considering the special requirements of Fire Seed battleships for shipboard modules, mass production is possible to some extent.
But if you replace the original main cannon with a different type of cannon.
For example, replacing the Pond’s standard main cannon with a blue-quality Burst Cannon.
Then, the Fire Seed’s previous enhancement level of the standard main cannon cannot be inherited.
The Burst Cannon has to be strengthened from LV.0.
As for many shipboard modules with different technology or even inter-civilization operations, they cannot be repaired in this way.
Then, in emergencies or special situations, “Fire Seed” battleships have a unique way to save themselves.
Consume source points to perform automatic repairs.
Convenient and environmentally friendly, and the repair effect is great.
The only drawback.
This repair method...is more expensive than paying for everything!
Source points are such a precious resource, directly affecting the growth of the Fire Seed battleship. It can be said that every point is the lifeblood of the Fire Seed battleship.
And the source point repair method consumes a lot!
Just like what Wang Dong is doing now.
“Activate source point repair mode.
This ship’s damage control situation is as follows: 38% armor damage, 4% hull damage, the schematic is as follows, please select the area to repair.”
“Repair the tail armor.”
Wang Dong calmly made his request.
Source points, you can’t have the new without getting rid of the old.
“Repairing tail armor.
The armor damage in this area is 90%, accounting for 10% of the total armor. This ship’s armor enhancement level is LV.1. This repair will consume 200*10%*90%=18 source points, and the repair time is 18 minutes.
Please note that the armor module will not function properly during the repair period.”
Wang Dong was mentally prepared, but he still frowned slightly.
This repair is calculated according to the product of the upgrade consumption of the repaired module and the proportion of the repaired area!
The Pond’s armor is LV.1, green quality, and it costs 200 source points to upgrade from LV.0 to LV.1.
The tail armor of the battleship accounts for 10% of the total armor of the battleship, and the damage rate of the tail armor of the Pond is 90%. The three factors are multiplied together to get the final data of 18 points.
If the armor of the entire ship was repaired, it would be equivalent to the consumption of re-upgrading the armor module!
But this kind of loss is understandable.
After all, it is a direct change at the material level, so a higher consumption is normal.
But compared to going to a repair shop, the cost-effectiveness is much lower.
Repairing only requires currency that circulates among the common people, and doesn’t require source points, such a high-level rare resource.
You have to repair it even if you can’t afford it.
“Confirm repair.”
It was essential to fix this flaw.
Wang Dong dared not let the Pond enter any repair shop, because such a perfect injury was easy to arouse suspicion, and Wang Dong couldn’t afford to be suspected.
“Confirm repair, consuming 18 source points, taking 36 minutes. Repairing, countdown...”
Remaining source points: 846.
“Changed the name, repaired the damage, two major flaws have disappeared, but it can only avoid the most superficial screening.”
Wang Dong’s thinking was clear.
