Chapter 6: Detailed Attributes of the Shuttle
Chapter 6: Detailed Attributes of the Shuttle
Song Chi's gaze remained fixed on the basic components section. The current Psionic Shuttle was a bare-bones vessel, with nothing particularly noteworthy in the other categories.
For example, in the special components section, the initial Psionic Shuttle from the Ember Fleet had only two special component slots. The number of slots would only increase as the shuttle was upgraded.
Of course, the quality of the Ember Seed determined how many slots would be added. The higher the quality of the Ember Seed, the more slots would be available.
This was another crucial reason why the Ember Human civilization placed such a high value on the quality of Ember Seeds. Not only did it determine the maximum potential for upgrading the Psionic Shuttle, but it also influenced the combat capabilities of similarly ranked Psionic Shuttles.
Consider this: two Psionic Shuttles of the same level, say Level 10. The shuttle with a White Ember Seed might have 10 special component slots, while the one with a Colorless Ember Seed would have only 6. The nearly two-fold difference in combat strength is significant.
Focusing his attention, the detailed attributes of each module quickly appeared.

After reviewing the data for each component, Song Chi didn't linger. These were just basic stats, and he had covered most of them in his previous studies. The only thing that truly caught his attention was the Psionic Training Platform.
This component was one of the core features of the Psionic Shuttle, and it was the fundamental reason why every Ember Human was determined to own their own Psionic Shuttle.
Why risk life and limb to explore the vast, uncharted star seas? Was it merely to enjoy the exotic scenery? Of course not. The driving force behind the exploratory spirit of the Ember Citizens was the myriad of rare and exotic resources found in the alien star domains.
But then, what was the ultimate purpose of plundering and collecting these resources?
Reinforcing the Ember Fleet ships isn't the only goal, or even the primary one. While it is inevitable to strengthen the ships, that's just the surface. Ultimately, what every captain of an Ember Fleet ship truly seeks is the elevation of their own life essence.
To put it bluntly, it's about achieving immortality, to live longer.
It is well known that advancing in the art of guiding astral energy can trigger a transformation in one's life essence. Each transformation extends the practitioner's lifespan to some degree.
However, the higher the level of the guiding technique, the more terrifying the difficulty becomes. Triggering the first transformation is already as difficult as climbing to the heavens, let alone subsequent transformations.
But this issue can be perfectly resolved by the astral energy training platform bound to each Ember Fleet ship.
The astral energy training platform significantly accelerates the mastery of astral energy guiding techniques, allowing all captains to double, triple, or even further increase their training speed. This, in turn, enables them to repeatedly transform their life essence.
The higher the reinforcement level of the Ember Fleet ship, the more effective the bound astral energy training platform becomes.
Therefore, the real concern for the captains is not the reinforcement of the ship itself, but the astral energy training platform it carries.
Looking at the astral energy training platform on the astral energy shuttle, Song Chi suddenly recalled the all-attribute training room in the marketplace. Its astral energy training bonus was a staggering 400%, twice as effective as the platform in front of him.
Previously, his attention had been mostly drawn to the "Ultra-Long Range Space Gate Random Deployment Platform," and he hadn't paid too much attention to the training room. Now, the excitement he had suppressed surged back like a tidal wave.
He knew exactly what this meant.
It meant that in the future, his astral energy guiding technique would advance much faster than that of other captains of the same rank.
It meant he would have a higher chance of elevating his life essence and gaining more lifespan.
It also meant that even if his Ember Fleet ship failed to improve the quality of its ember, it wouldn't affect his personal cultivation in the slightest.
Of course, while this was true, Song Chi wouldn't abandon his Ember Fleet ship unless absolutely necessary. The subsequent reinforcements and the introduction of goods in the marketplace require a significant amount of resources, far more than what he could obtain from a single monthly marketplace transaction.
Moreover, the marketplace itself lacks strong firepower. Unlike the Ember Fleet ship, which, when reinforced to a certain level, can suppress an entire floating landmass in the star sea.
With this in mind, Song Chi quickly outlined his future development plan.
Using the marketplace as the foundation and the Ember Fleet ship as a supplement, he would focus on more efficient and faster life essence transformation through the marketplace, while the ship would provide the necessary firepower support. Both would progress in tandem without hindering each other.
After clarifying this basic priority, Song Chi turned his attention to reinforcing the astral energy shuttle.
Tomorrow was the first exploration of an alien star domain, a welfare exploration. Even though it was a benefit, the necessary reinforcements were still essential. Caution is the key to long-term survival, and Song Chi understood this well.
A faint glow appeared between his brows as he extracted the special component of the "Fire Chrysanthemum Soldier Puppet Tree" from the ember ancestor aperture.
He then installed it in one of the two special component slots on the astral energy shuttle. Soon, its attributes appeared:
Fire Chrysanthemum Soldier Puppet Tree LV0
Quality: White
Consumption: 50 per unit (astral energy points)
Effect: Fire Chrysanthemum Soldier Puppet (summon ten LV0 Fire Chrysanthemum Soldier Puppets, which can exist indefinitely unless destroyed. If destroyed, they can be re-summoned after 24 hours.)
Upgrade Required: 5 strands of floating land essence (zeroth stage), 500 astral energy points.
