Chapter 275: Acquiring Micro-Substance Spirit-Activated Metal
Chapter 275: Acquiring Micro-Substance Spirit-Activated Metal
After reinforcing a few components, Song Chi glanced at his personal account.
Gold Merit Points: 138
The previous transaction of the [Silver III Generation Ultrasonic Mana Detection Radar] component had brought his gold merit points back to triple digits. Adding the two ancient corpses he hadn't yet traded, he could consider it over three hundred points.
This amount of gold merit points was not insignificant, but Song Chi was not satisfied.
Now that the Cobalt Number had ascended to a cruiser, an additional main cannon slot had been added, and he needed to quickly acquire a high-quality main cannon.
According to his current standards, even an Orange Glory main cannon was insufficient. He wanted at least a red-quality main cannon. After all, the current [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon] was clearly no longer capable of deciding the outcome of a battle. He needed a much more powerful main cannon.
As for the red-quality main cannon, it would cost at least 800 gold merit points from the family, and a superior one might even cost over a thousand points. The three hundred points he currently had were far from enough.
However, he had his own plans. Although his merit points were insufficient, there were still dozens of ancient corpses in the ancient star battlefield waiting for him to collect. With these, it wouldn't be difficult to accumulate over a thousand gold merit points.
Just as the [Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Tree] had reached the Fifth Rank, it was time to return to the ancient star battlefield for the next phase of exploration.
Having made up his mind, Song Chi didn't dawdle. He quickly recalled the Cobalt Number and began to purchase various resources in large quantities from the family achievement tower and the ordinary floating land essence market.
If everything went as planned, he would spend most of the next three years in the ancient star battlefield. He wouldn't return to the Longji Continent unless there was something important, so he had to prepare all the resources he might need for dozens of market transactions in advance.
Regarding the Terra Stones, the medicinal herbs required by the Luo Fu Sword Sect, and the plant seeds required by the Tree Folk Clan, Song Chi would leave a second-rank humanoid alien servant in his courtyard, along with dozens of storage capsules and a [Market Travel Permit], to facilitate the monthly handover in the pulse center.
...
At the foot of the Longji Divine Mountain, in the corner of the White Jade Square's warship docking area.
The 1,300-meter-long Cobalt Number was parked side by side with a kilometer-long cruiser. In the communication projection of the two warships, Song Chi saw the time sand resource he urgently needed.
"Seventh Prince, these 500 grams of time sand were mined from a small planet in my early years. However, this material is generally only used in high-rank time-related ship components, so I've kept it until now."
Seeing the other party hesitating to get to the point, Song Chi took the initiative to speak:
"Uncle, what do you want to trade? I must remind you, 500 grams is far from enough to exchange for a ten-thousand-year-old dragon blood fruit. Unless Uncle can provide more time sand..."
This statement completely blocked the subsequent words of the man, who was from the fourth direct line and considered Song Chi's uncle.
However, this man reacted quickly. He was only 160 years old, and he still had several hundred years before reaching his lifespan limit. His need for dragon blood fruit was actually not significant.
Therefore, his goal quickly changed.
"Since that's the case, let's exchange for storage capsules!"
Hearing that the other party shifted his goal to the storage capsules they had just launched, Song Chi was not surprised. These storage capsules were acquired by him at a low price from the Star Source Empire Alon. After his grandfather's flagship ascended to the Skirmish Warship and he himself became part of the family sequence, he had recently entrusted his uncle to sell them.
The result was as expected. Once the storage capsules were launched within the family, they immediately received enthusiastic pursuit from the clan members.
Among them, the Type 1 storage capsule, with an internal space of one cubic meter, was acquired by Song Chi for 1 filament of First-Rank Floating Land Essence. It now sold for 10 filaments of First-Rank Floating Land Essence within the clan.
The Type 2 storage capsule, with a length of about 30 centimeters and an internal space of two cubic meters, was acquired by Song Chi for 5 filaments of First-Rank Floating Land Essence from Alon. It now sold for 5 filaments of Second-Rank Floating Land Essence.
The Type 3 storage capsule, with a length of about 40 centimeters and an internal space of four cubic meters, was acquired by Song Chi for 1 filament of Second-Rank Floating Land Essence. It now sold for 1 filament of Third-Rank Floating Land Essence.
Despite this, the demand for storage capsules within the clan remained high. It was only because Song Chi had stockpiled them for a year or two that they hadn't been sold out long ago.
This was also the result of his uncle and aunt's timely implementation of purchase limits.
Song Chi thought for a moment and then said:
"Twenty of each type of storage capsule, how about that?"
Hearing his offer, the communication projection in front of him shook its head. After a long period of haggling, both parties finally agreed on thirty-five of each type of storage capsule.
Once the transaction was completed, the clan uncle from the fourth direct line maneuvered his flagship straight into the sky. Song Chi, however, remained stationary and checked the resources in his hand.
After several transactions over the past few days, he had collected 1,800 grams of time sand, which was enough to perform a minor enhancement on the [Bodhimanda Meditation Seal].
"Let's not linger. There are only a few clan members with time sand, so let's go back to the ancient star battlefield..."
With this decision in mind, Song Chi quickly initiated the enhancement.
After twelve consecutive enhancements, the [Bodhimanda Meditation Seal] component successfully reached Level 30, consuming 1,710 grams of time sand.
Bodhimanda Meditation Seal Level 30
Quality: Golden
...
Characteristic 4: Time Resistance +4200
Effect: When the warship equipped with this component is affected or attacked by external time laws, it will automatically weaken the power by 45%.
...
{Meditation Seal - External Time Stop: Consumes 90,000 Ether Energy Points to cast on a specified 1,000 km range, pausing the flow of time around the target for 4 seconds, with a cooldown of 480 hours.}
{Bodhimanda Timefield Slow: Consumes 200,000 Ether Energy Points to create a timefield with a diameter of 300,000 meters centered on the equipped warship. The time within the timefield will slow down by 7 times, including the movements, reactions, thoughts, and energy transmission of living beings (Note: The warship itself is not affected by this). The duration is 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 7 years.}
After the third rank, the attributes of this golden component became even more astonishing. It could be believed that its future assistance to the Cobalt Number would reach an unimaginable level.
However, it was unfortunate that with the component reaching the third rank, Song Chi's remaining time sand was only 100 grams, insufficient to support further enhancement.
Moreover, with all the time sand in the clan basically exchanged, this component would likely not see any improvement for a long time.
Thinking of this, Song Chi's eyes flickered.
"I can only wait and see if I can find some time sand in other star domains of the principality..."
Thinking this, Song Chi checked the other resources on the warship, having just completed the enhancement of the [Bodhimanda Meditation Seal].
Afterward, he still had around 700 Titanium Crystals left. The other Fourth-Rank Floating Land Essence and law stones were untouched, so he could reinforce a few more components.
He instinctively directed his gaze to the [Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon] and the [Light Energy Convergence Engine] components. Both were currently at lv49, and just needed one more reinforcement to greatly improve their attributes.
In the end, he used over 200 Titanium Crystals, 2 strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Essence, dozens of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Essence, and several dozen law stones to successfully reinforce the one red and one orange components to Fifth Rank.
In addition, Song Chi used hundreds of Titanium Crystals and strands of Second and Third Rank Floating Land Essence to reinforce the [Holy Cross Beacon] and [Scarlet Fire Sky Curtain Cannon] from lv20 to lv40.
Thus, the attributes of the four components were greatly enhanced. However, after this, the various resources he had were almost depleted, and he couldn’t immediately reinforce any other components.
After finishing these tasks, Song Chi had no other concerns and controlled the Vast Boundless to soar into the sky. Upon arriving deep in the sky dome, he directly activated the Vast Boundless’s Alien Star Domain Deployment.
The asteroid belt, the habitat of the Humanoid Aliens.
After giving some instructions to the Half-Step Fourth-Rank Humanoid Alien, the Vast Boundless plunged into the spatial wormhole ahead.
The time Song Chi had left for exploration was limited, only three years remained, and he had to make the most of every moment.
On the other end of the spatial wormhole, the ancient shattered star domain.
As the 1,300-meter-long Vast Boundless emerged from the wormhole, Song Chi’s gaze instinctively swept over the outer regions of this star domain.
His brows furrowed; it was evident that compared to over two years ago, the area of this star domain had significantly shrunk, and even in the outer regions, two ordinary Third-Eye Clan warships had been devoured by the void.
Fortunately, these two warship wrecks had already been thoroughly explored, so there was no real loss. The only result was that Song Chi’s sense of urgency intensified; he had to accelerate his exploration.
The only good news was that with the installation of the [Winged Deployment Platform] component and the brainwave remote control system providing 3 brainwave marks, Song Chi could explore three routes simultaneously, greatly enhancing the efficiency of his exploration.
“A group will continue to clear the safety zones around the remaining dozen ancient corpses, trying to secure them as soon as possible.
Another group will head directly to the rare mineral chamber, gradually depleting the energy of the advanced version alloy mech guard to obtain the micro-substance spirit-activated metal.
The last group will continue exploring the other hull cracks of this super colossal flagship, striving to open up a new entry route as soon as possible.”
In a short time, Song Chi had already planned out the subsequent long-term. His mind essence then shifted, and forty Void Shadow Assassin Puppets were summoned.
After marking them with brainwave beacons, the first batch of 12 Void Shadow Assassin Puppets was dispersed.
However, the results were not ideal. Due to the lack of visits for half a year, the positions of the Law Traces in this star domain had subtly changed. Consequently, before long, the 12 Void Shadow Assassin Puppets were successively annihilated by the energy bursts from the Law Traces.
With no other choice, Song Chi could only wait for the two deployment platforms and the [Brainwave Remote Control System] components to recharge.
Several hours later, once the three components were fully recharged, the second batch of Void Shadow Assassin Puppets was deployed.
Time passed day by day in this ongoing routine.
On the 15th day, the Void Shadow Assassin Puppets responsible for clearing the safety zone around an ancient corpse first yielded results, successfully opening up a safety zone with a kilometer diameter. The Vast Boundless then teleported over with the [Void Escape Pearl] and used the [Proportional Scaling Device] component to successfully retrieve the ancient corpse onto the warship.
On the 38th day, the Void Shadow Assassin Puppets responsible for continuously depleting the energy of the advanced version alloy mech guard in the rare mineral chamber reported success, having completely drained the energy of the mech guard with Fifth-Rank combat power.
Subsequently, all the resources in the rare mineral chamber were brought back to the Market Ruins by the Void Shadow Assassin Puppets using storage capsules.
In addition, the Fourth-Rank Void Crystal inside the corpse of the Fourth-Rank Void Demon that had died in the mineral chamber was also retrieved by Song Chi. As for the corpse itself, it had no other value.
This Void Demon had died after exhausting all its life force, leaving not a trace of life energy within its body. Thus, it was impossible to extract Fourth-Rank Bio Blood from its corpse.
Inside the Vast Boundless, Song Chi looked at the piles of resources in front of him, his eyes revealing undisguised joy.
3.2 kg of micro-substance spirit-activated metal, 3,500 Titanium Crystals, and 400 law stones.
These were all the resources obtained from the rare mineral chamber. Apart from the micro-substance spirit-activated metal, the Titanium Crystals and law stones were additional pleasant surprises.
However, he currently lacked Fourth-Rank Floating Land Essence. Even with sufficient Titanium Crystals and law stones, it would be difficult to continue reinforcing the few high-rank components on the warship. He could only wait until he obtained enough high-rank Floating Land Essence to attempt further reinforcement.
As for the 3.2 kg of micro-substance spirit-activated metal, it was far from being a small amount. In fact, just 1 kg of micro-substance spirit-activated metal was enough to give a cruiser sufficient activity, allowing it to transform into a mecha form.
This 3.2 kg of micro-substance spirit-activated metal could significantly enhance the activity of the warship, giving the hull a certain self-healing ability while greatly improving the time it took to transform into a Mythical Mecha form.
Without hesitation, Song Chi fused all 3.2 kg of the micro-substance spirit-activated metal into the hull of the Vast Boundless.
The micro-substance spirit-activated metal was fused into the hull itself, not the hull armor. Once fused, it would benefit the warship for life, even if the hull armor was replaced or the quality of the Flame Seed improved, it would have no effect.
As the micro-substance spirit-activated metal fused with the warship hull, Song Chi could clearly feel a mystical sensation emanating from the Vast Boundless. This feeling was indescribable.
It was as if the warship itself had gained the ability to breathe, producing its own activity. If the hull were damaged in the future, it could slowly repair itself by absorbing energy from the Star Sea or relying on the energy provided by the warship’s engines.
Thinking of this, Song Chi felt a surge of excitement and wanted to try the so-called Mythical Mecha form. However, his mental essence power had yet to reach the required level, leaving him feeling helpless.
