Global Era of Star trekking

```

For the Torch Warship, the engine is akin to the human heart: a person might survive without arms or ears, but not without a heart.

Similarly, without the energy supply from its engine, a Torch Warship is completely rendered powerless.

At the foot of Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, White Jade Square.

Cang Qiong, with its dimly glowing light, was docked at a corner of the square. Inside Cang Qiong, Song Chi, clutching the "Light Energy Aggregation Engine," didn't hesitate to install it into the engine slot.

Suddenly, Cang Qiong seemed like a youth reborn. After the orange engine was installed, it bloomed with new vitality once again.

However, the glow did not last long; it dimmed again shortly. Even if it was an orange engine, after all, it was just Level 0 at the moment.

Without pondering too much, Song Chi strengthened the component straight to Level 30.

He spent a total of 690 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, 120 Titanium Crystals, and a number of Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origins.

Looking at the properties of the Light Energy Aggregation Engine that had been enhanced to Level 30, its energy supply astonishingly reached 2835/s, nearly double the initial same-level "Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine" at 1512/s.

Additionally, its Spectral Energy pool also reached a terrifying 100,000 points, fully satisfying the continued enhancement of two Third Rank red components on the warship.

With that, Song Chi finally felt completely at ease.

He did not intend to immediately return to Green Moon Manor; instead, his gaze shifted to the "Neutron Star Core Armor" and "Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator".

He checked again the quantity of Third Rank Floating Land Origin and Titanium Crystals in his hands.

Third-Rank Floating Land Origin: 1780 strands

Titanium Crystals: 880 pieces

Previously, from those humanoid alien species, aside from obtaining ten purple relics, he also seized over a hundred strands of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin and 200 Titanium Crystals.

Together with nearly two months of twice synthesis from the "Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform," and the 100 Titanium Crystals supplied by Zhou Ping, Song Chi now had nearly 1800 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin and almost 900 Titanium Crystals in hand.

Seeing these numbers, he began the enhancement of two high-quality components quite confidently and without hesitation.

First was the "Neutron Star Core Armor"; having spent 540 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin and 495 Titanium Crystals, he directly upgraded it to Level 39.

Neutron Star Core Armor Level 39

Quality: Red

...

Feature 3: The additional increase in armor's defense value by 158%

Consumption: 770/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Defence: 2,902,500

No need for charge and buffer

UpRank Requirement: 150 strands of Floating Land Origin (Third Rank), 3 strands of Floating Land Origin (Fourth Rank), 110,000 Spectral Energy Points, 150 tons of Cobalt, 80 Titanium Crystals, 1 Law Stone

Note: Has reached the ship's enhancement limit, cannot be further strengthened

{Neutron Star Fission: Consumes 48,000 Spectral Energy Points, temporarily transforms the warship into a miniature neutron star form, resisting attacks from the outside world, duration 89 seconds, cooldown 30 hours.}

The resources expended were beyond imagination; the Titanium Crystals in Song Chi's hands were reduced by more than half, leaving fewer than four hundred pieces.

However, the attributes obtained were truly commendable; the defensive value alone had soared from previously just under 800,000 to 2.9 million.

The only disappointment was the second feature, "Neutron Star Core Pulse," which remained unchanged at repairing 3% of the armor layer every 15 seconds and restoring 3% of the shipborne energy shield value every 30 seconds; it seemed that it required a great rank increase to enhance it further.

Not too concerned, Song Chi turned his attention to the "Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator" component.

Just like before, he also strengthened this component directly to Level 39, spending a total of 360 Titanium Crystals and 387 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin.

Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator Level 39

Quality: Orange

Feature: An additional increase in shield value by 124%

Feature 2: The shield's defense value is doubled

Consumption: 485/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Defence: 640,000

```

```

Shield Value: 1.18kw/1.18kw

Charge: 20s; Post-overload Buffer: 30 minutes

UpRank Requirement: 100 threads of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, 2 threads of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin, 65000 Spectral Energy Points, 530 tons of Mercury Crystal, 60 Titanium Crystals, 1 Law Stone

Note: The ship's body has reached its limit and cannot be further enhanced.

Compared to the [Neutron Star Core Armor] component, the attribute enhancement of this [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] is a bit less, but it's still astounding.

Just the Shield Value approaching twelve million alone is already terrifying.

And now, with the lv39 [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] taken into account, the "Neutron Star Core Pulse" feature's Shield Value recovery per second has reached 11800 points, far exceeding the previous four thousand points.

After a moment of wild joy, Song Chi quickly returned to a bitter expression.

With just the enhancement of two components, nearly nine hundred pieces of Titanium Crystal in his hand were already depleted, leaving only the last 25. It's really spending money like water.

He still had 853 threads of Third Rank Floating Land Origin left, though more than half were gone.

As for the Second Rank Floating Land Origin, he still had over ten thousand threads in his hands.

With this in mind, Song Chi then upgraded all components on the Cang Qiong that didn't require Titanium Crystals and were still at Zero Rank, First Rank, or Second Rank to lv30 in one go.

Of course, excluding those that could not be upgraded to lv30.

[Fire Peony Soldier Effigy Tree] component lv20→lv29

[Blood Soul Stigma] component lv20→lv30

[Void Escape Orb] component lv0→lv20

(Properties are not listed one by one)

But in reality, there were only three components. Others, like the lv25 [Brainwave Remote Control System], the lv23 [Phantom Thruster], the lv20 [Water Molecule Isolation Outer Membrane] all required Titanium Crystals and therefore weren't enhanced.

Even so, the Cang Qiong had a significant increase in attributes after this round of enhancement.

[Name: Cang Qiong]

[Model: Torch - Guardian Class Spectral Warship]

[Level: lv20]

[Extra Feature: Space Lock]

[Basic Components: Blue Torch Hull lv20, Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon (Orange) lv39, Electromagnetic Ray Cannon (Blue) lv30, Cold Light Heavenly Frost Cannon (Purple) lv30, Neutron Star Core Armor (Red) lv39, Light Energy Aggregation Engine (Orange) lv30, Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator (Orange) lv39, Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar (Orange) lv30, Spectral Cultivation Room lv0 (9/11)]

[Additional Components: Fire Peony Soldier Figurine Tree (White) lv29, Brainwave Remote Control System (Purple) lv25, Abnormal Status Purifier (Blue) lv39, Purple River Translocation Device (Blue) lv30, Healing Fruit (White) lv29, Fixed-Point Launch Pad (Blue) lv30, Phantom Thruster (Purple) lv23, Blood Soul Stigma (Blue) lv30, Enslavement Medal (Red) lv30, Space Beacon Emitter (Blue) lv30, Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine Tree (Orange) lv30, Void Membrane (Blue) lv30, Sonic Silence Field (Blue) lv30, Water Molecule Isolation Outer Membrane (Purple) lv20, Void Escape Orb (Purple) lv20, External Armor-Piercing Cobalt Bullet Launcher (Orange) lv30 (18/26)]

[Spectral Energy Pool: 100000/100000]

[Materials: 40 threads of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, 853 threads of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, 11580 threads of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, 25 Titanium Crystals...]

Song Chi was very satisfied with the current attributes of the Cang Qiong, but upon seeing the tens of thousands of threads of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, he rubbed his forehead again.

As the combat power of the Cang Qiong increased, with the enhancement level of its equipped components climbing, Second Rank Floating Land Origin gradually became less useful to him.

Aside from the monthly synthesis of 1000 threads into 100 threads of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, it basically accumulated, to the point that Song Chi could barely stand the sight anymore.

"I must find a way to convert it into the Third Rank Floating Land Origin, or even Fourth Rank, that I now need more urgently," he muttered.

This could be seen from the initial [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon], as well as today's [Neutron Star Core Armor] and [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] parts.

After enhancement to lv39, if you want to further enhance the level of the components to lv40, besides needing to improve the quality of his own Seed of Torch, you also need parts of the Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin and a Law Stone to activate the Power of Laws inherent within the components themselves.

After pondering for a while, Song Chi set his sights on the upcoming Ruins Market transactions.

"It seems I'll have to set up my own stall in the future. If the exchange rate of 1:15 doesn't attract those Alien Races, then I'll try 1:16, 1:17, or even 1:18 in my personal capacity. Hopefully, this will yield some results..."

The Family Merit Hall's rate was 1:20, exchanging 20 threads of Second Rank Floating Land Origin for 1 thread of Third Rank.

And the rate he has offered in the Ruins Market shop is 1:15, if an Alien Race comes forward with 1 thread of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, the shop will exchange it for 15 threads of Second Rank.

However, over the past two years, this ratio has obviously not satisfied these Alien Species, so he will have to try raising the rate in the future.

There is no choice, otherwise, his Second Rank Floating Land Origin will accumulate endlessly, just like Zero Rank and First Rank, to the point where it will become increasingly difficult to spend.
