Global Era of Star trekking

His gaze still lingered on the basic components section; the Spectral Shuttle was completely a blank slate at the moment, and there wasn’t much to see in the other categories either.

For instance, in the special components category, the recently integrated Torch Warship only had two initial special component slots, which would only increase as the Spectral Shuttle was upgraded.

Of course, the number of slots that could be added later depended on the Quality of the Seed of Torch; the higher the Quality of the Seed, the more slots that would be added naturally.

This was yet another key reason why Torch Human Civilization placed so much importance on the Quality of the Seed of Torch—it not only determined the enhancement ceiling of the Torch Warships but also the relative combat power among warships of the same level.

Just imagine, two Torch Warships both at level Lv10, the one with the White Fire Seed could potentially carry ten kinds of special components, while the warship with a Colorless Fire Seed might at most have only six special component slots—a difference of nearly double—making their combat power incomparable.

His focus sharpened, and soon the detailed attributes of these modules appeared one by one.

After checking the data for each component, Song Chi didn’t linger, as these were only basic data, which were generally covered in past studies. The only thing that caught his attention was the Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform at the end.

As one of the core components of a Torch Warship, it’s also the fundamental reason why everyone in the Torch Human Civilization is obsessed with owning a personal Torch Warship.

What is the ultimate purpose of risking their lives to explore the vast and boundless Alien Star Domain?

Is it merely for the pleasure of experiencing the exotic charms of alien territories? Of course not… The spirit of exploration that drives Torch citizens has always been about the rare and fascinating resources found within Alien Star Domains.

So, what is the ultimate purpose of plundering and collecting these resources?

Is it just to enhance the Torch Warship? Not exactly, or at least not entirely. Strengthening a Torch Warship is inevitable, but that’s just the surface. Fundamentally, what every Torch Ship Captain pursues is the sublimation of their own life level.

To put it bluntly, it’s immortality, to live longer.

As is well known, practicing the Guidance Technique to high levels can induce a transformation in life levels, and each transformation extends the cultivator’s lifespan to some degree.

However, as the level of the Guidance Technique increases, the difficulty of cultivation becomes increasingly terrifying. Just triggering the first transformation of life levels is as hard as reaching the heavens, let alone subsequent life sublimations.

But this problem can be perfectly solved by the Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform bound to each Torch Warship.

The Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform greatly accelerates the cultivation of the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique, allowing all Torch Ship Captains to enhance their Guidance Technique levels at double, triple, or even higher speeds, thereby repeatedly inducing transformations in their own life levels.

The higher the enhancement level of the Torch Warship, the better the effect of its bound Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform.

Therefore, the thing that Torch Ship Captains really care about is not the enhancement of the Torch Warship itself, but the Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform that comes with the warship.

Looking at the Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform on the Spectral Shuttle, Song Chi suddenly thought of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room in the Ruins Market, which seemed to have a 400% cultivation bonus for Spectral Energy, twice that of the current platform.

Previously, he had been mostly preoccupied by the “Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform,” and hadn’t paid much attention. But now, thinking back, the excitement he had just managed to suppress surged up like a tide.

Because he was very clear about what this meant.

It meant that his future cultivation speed for the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique would far exceed that of other Torch Ship Captains of his rank.

It meant he would have a higher chance of improving his life level and gaining more lifespan.

It also meant that even if he couldn’t enhance the quality of the Fire Seed of his own Torch Warship, it wouldn’t affect his personal cultivation in the slightest.

Of course, having said that, Song Chi wouldn’t give up on his Torch Warship unless absolutely necessary. After all, future enhancements and introductions of new products in the Ruins Market would require substantial resources, and relying solely on the monthly Ruins Market trade was far from enough.

Moreover, the Ruins Market itself didn’t have strong fire support like the Torch Warship, which could suppress an entire Starry Sea Floating Land after reaching a certain level of strengthening.

Thinking of this, Song Chi quickly outlined his subsequent development plan.

Using the Ruins Market as the base and the Torch Warship as an auxiliary, one to better and more quickly facilitate the sublimation of life levels, the other to provide future fire support. Both progressing side by side without interfering with each other.

After clarifying this primary and secondary relationship, Song Chi shifted his attention to strengthening the Spectral Shuttle.

Tomorrow is the first exploration of Alien Star Domains, and even though it’s a welfare exploration, the necessary enhancements still have to be made. “A stitch in time saves nine,” is a principle that Song Chi understood.

With a flash of Ghost Light at his brow, a sphere of light belonging to the “Fire Peony Soldier Effigy Tree” special component was taken out from the Ancestral Torch.

Song Chi then installed it into one of the two special component slots available on the Spectral Shuttle, and quickly its properties emerged.
