Chapter 8 (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In addition to the 2 self-activation functions, because the Thunder Flash was a battleship, some optional functions could also be activated too. However, the optional functions needed mineral crystals to be activated.

Optional function 1: Alternate space signal acquisition (1 unit of low-grade mineral crystal)

Optional function 2: Double source point acquisition (According to the number of source points obtained, the consumption of mineral crystals is different)

Optional function 3: Module characteristics selection (According to the module quality, the consumption of mineral crystals is different)

Optional function 4: Double module growth value (According to the module quality, the consumption of mineral crystals is different)

These 4 optional functions were very useful.

However, all of the optional functions needed to consume different amount of mineral crystals.

Furthermore, the upgrade functions also changed.

Upgrade function 1: Level restriction removal (5 units of high-grade mineral crystals to activate)

Upgrade function 2: Fixed point invasion (20 units of high-grade mineral crystals to activate)

The optional function was different from the upgrade function. The optional function could be used directly and every time it consumed mineral crystals. However, the upgrade function was different. Just activating it required the consumption of high-grade mineral crystals and that did not include the usage.

High-grade mineral crystals were rare and expensive. They were one of the controlled items of the privileged class. Lin Dong currently had no way to obtain them unless he was extremely lucky.

Fortunately, he did not need the upgrade functions at the moment. Otherwise, he would really have a headache.

“Check the basic data of the battleship and the degree of damage.”

Lin Dong glanced at Lorne, who was still seated on the chair, and chose to verbally give the command.

He had taken 99 steps out of 100 steps. Therefore, he could not let Lorne sense anything amiss with the final step. After all, the personal support system was something that needed to be hidden.

The optical computer only operated according to the program settings and had no intelligence. Therefore, once the new commander gave the order, it immediately began to operate.

It was the same as the data he had seen previously.

Lin Dong thought for a moment before he clicked on 1 of the tabs. 40% of the damage was already quite serious. If it exceeded 50%, it would affect the battleship’s ability and mobility.

Most of the damage occurred at the back of the Thunder Flash. The engine spout and both sides were the most serious, displaying a dangerous red color.

The first half of the armor was basically green.

Evidently, the back of the Thunder Flash was hit during the pursuit.

As for the 5% damage to the hull, Lin Dong would not be paying attention to it, as it was not the time to deal with it yet.

Lin Dong opened up the detection radar, and pointed toward the edge of the imaging map, before he opened his mouth and said, “Begin autopilot. Here.”

In Lin Dong’s previous life, he had dragged on for too long, which resulted in him being caught up by Sylvester Dan. Then, another chase occurred.

The originally damaged battleship was even more seriously damaged. However, Lin Dong was lucky as he was able to get away from Dan.

This forced him to undertake a series of subsequent adventures.

The current Thunder Flash was simply unable to deal with the Sylvester family’s pursuers.

Fortunately, Lin Dong had given the command in advance this time, thus preventing any delay. After he gave the command, the battleship began to operate. The optical computer on Thunder Flash was far more advance than his 3rd generation mining spaceship.

Even in the mining area of the asteroid belt, it was still able to navigate on its own.

Without the need for the commander to manually control it, the Thunder Flash automatically avoided the meteorites and asteroids that it encountered during its voyage. It even crushed some of the low-speed meteorites that were too small in size.

During its journey, the signal jammer was continuously activated.
