Galaxy of Giant Ships: Starting with Data-Driven Warships

Swish!

After a brief wait, two beams of purple light suddenly shot out from the opposing cruiser and headed straight for the Sky Patrol.

Chen Yao did not dodge, letting the two purple lights enter the hull of the Xuntian ship.

The next second, his mind raced, and he guided the two beams of purple light that had entered the warship to rush toward the two special slots designated by the warship.

click!

click!

With two faint sounds, the two components loaded in the two slots were unloaded almost simultaneously. At the same time, the two purple lights reappeared and eventually turned into two piles of materials on the Sky Patrol ship's deck. These were the reinforcement materials consumed in strengthening the [Time-Bright Clock] and [Particle Energy Cannon].

Chen Yao first returned the [Time-Brightening Clock Plate] artifact, and then, before the third-tier clansmen opposite him were about to leave, he took the initiative to ask:

"The blue main cannon [Particle Concentration Cannon], if the family were to recycle it, what price would they offer?"

As he spoke, he sent over the detailed attributes of the [Particle Concentration Cannon].

Yes, Chen Yao was preparing to use this blue main cannon.

The Sky Patrol has now been equipped with a purple main cannon, and there will be no second main cannon slot appearing anytime soon.

As far as Chen Yao knew, the basic slots of the warship would not change during the stages of the psionic shuttle and psionic airship. Only after upgrading to the second-tier frigate would two additional secondary gun slots be obtained, and only the second main gun slot would appear on the third-tier cruiser.

It will be at least several decades before the Sky Patrol can be upgraded to a cruiser. By then, even the Mysterious Mirror Light Cannon will probably be too slow for it, let alone the blue-quality Particle Energy Cannon.

"A very standard blue main cannon, 500 family merits."

"Can!"

After the transaction was completed, Chen Yao glanced at his personal account and found that his merit points had indeed increased again, reaching 3547 points, bringing his total to 11100 points. He had unknowingly exceeded one-tenth of the 100000 points required to advance to the core clan member level.

Thinking of this, he became even more eager for the challenges that would follow in the Xuan Tian Trial Space.

Having already obtained the precious secret technique [Mysterious Heaven Blood Burst Technique] after only clearing the first two rounds, there is a high probability that even rarer items will appear later.

However, there are still more than two months before the next alien field deployment, and in the meantime, he has an even more important thing to do.

The advancement of the Xuan Tian.

After a period of preparation, all matters related to the Xuan Tian's advancement have been completed, and it's time to attempt to reach the first-tier psionic airship level.

……

Two days later, in the underground warship room of the house.

With a serious expression, Gu Ping asked again in earnest:

"Son, are you really sure you want to attempt to reach the first-tier psionic airship right now? You've only been awakened for less than half a year and have only conducted two explorations of alien regions. There's no need to rush."

Chen Yao, however, remained resolute in his stance.

He understood the concerns his mother expressed.

The "Alien Domain Drop" function of the Torchlight Warship system has always strictly determined the target area based on the rank of the warship's "Torchlight Hull".

As the warship's tier increases, the concentration of primordial energy in the alien regions it subsequently deploys also increases. The increased concentration of primordial energy in the star sea also means a significant increase in the possibility of the emergence of advanced planets and advanced alien civilizations, posing a greater threat to the Torchfire Warship.

But Chen Yao knew very well that this was unavoidable. If he wanted to continue to gain substantial profits and accelerate the advancement of himself and his flagship, these were things he couldn't avoid.

Seeing his unwavering resolve, Gu Ping said nothing more and silently stood guard at the entrance to the warship's cabin.

Deep inside the warship's cabin, the Sky Patrol was quietly docked. Outside the warship, Chen Yao exerted all his mental power to remotely control the Sky Patrol.

[Do you confirm the start of warship upgrades?]

"Sure!"

As he sent out his confirmation, a dense stream of psionic energy quickly enveloped the entire hull of the Sky Patrol.

Buzz!

Amidst the resounding tremors, dazzling lights began to emerge from the cabin of the Sky Patrol.

White, blue, purple, orange, silver...

Amidst the interplay of various lights, the entire warship's cabin was quickly transformed into an even more dazzling array of colorful rays.

Outside the warship, Chen Yao paced back and forth, his eyes fixed on the Sky Patrol in front of him, even though he knew very well that the difficulty of upgrading a Tier 0 psionic shuttle to a Tier 1 psionic airship was extremely low, with a success rate that was almost 100%.

However, it is not truly 100% certain. Over the countless years, there have been many failures. Therefore, as long as the Sky Patrol has not successfully advanced, he will never be at ease.

After an unknown amount of time, at a certain moment, the high-frequency vibrations of the Sky Patrol suddenly stopped, but it did not return to calm. Instead, it turned into a louder cracking and metallic friction sound.

In an instant, the tension in Chen Yao's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a visible surprise.

The sharp metallic scraping sound is none other than the noise produced when a Fire-Bearing Warship expands and inflates after a successful upgrade.

This also means that the Sky Patrol has now completed its upgrade and successfully entered the first-tier psionic airship stage, and is currently undergoing the final expansion of its warship hull.

七米

八米

九米

……

As time went on, the length of the Sky Patrol continued to grow, and a few minutes later, its hull length finally expanded to fifteen meters.

Looking up at the brand-new warship before him, Chen Yao's joy was almost overflowing.

At first glance, the dark red Chikan copper mother armor layer wraps around the streamlined hull, complementing the blue energy shield that extends from the outer layer of the hull. At the bow, the purple [Mysterious Heaven Mirror Light Cannon] cannon muzzle protrudes slightly, reflecting a cold glint under the light. It looks pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.

Suppressing his joy, Chen Yao chatted with his mother for a few more minutes before quickly boarding the Sky Patrol.

He quickly took out all the enhancement resources he had prepared, and a new round of enhancement soon began.

After being upgraded from a psionic shuttle to a psionic airship, the Sky Patrol's hull has reached level 10 (first tier). Correspondingly, the highest enhancement level of all qualified components on the warship has reached the third tier, so a comprehensive upgrade is inevitable.

The first thing to be upgraded was the orange-tier [Time Tower] that I had just acquired.

【是否消耗5枚下品行星本源+1ml时髓液+2000幽能点，将【时灵塔】从lv0强化至lv1？】

"Sure!"

After thirty consecutive attempts, Chen Yao used up all the Time Essence Liquid he had purchased with 20 merit points. With the addition of hundreds of low-grade planetary origin crystals, the [Time Spirit Tower] was successfully upgraded to level 30.

Time Tower lv30

Quality: Orange

Trait: Time Resistance +3500

Feature 2: Time Tower - Freeze

Cost: 600/s (Psionic Points)

Effect: After loading, it can accelerate the cooldown time of all eligible shipboard components on the loaded warship by 25%.
