Chapter 5 [Sky Patrol]
[Ding! The Flame of Life warship has successfully bound itself to the Seed of Flame. Please name your flagship.]
Inside the Tianlan Starship Base, inside a streamlined, compact warship enveloped in a dense, eerie light, Chen Yao stood in the warship's main control room, staring at the light screen that appeared before him, his eyes darting around rapidly several times.
"Deep Space".
[Duplicate ship name, please rename it!]
"Silver Star".
[Duplicate ship names...]
"Star God".
"Crescent Moon"
"Chang Kong"
"Shattered Star".
……
"Sky Patrol".
"Blackfish".
"Great White Shark..."
[The name "Xuntian" meets the criteria. Confirm?]
"Um?"
Several names that Chen Yao had thought of in advance were found to be duplicates, so he was just making them up on the spot. When he suddenly heard that the decent name "Sky Patrol" actually met the requirements, he was quite taken aback.
After realizing what he had done, he repeatedly confirmed it.
The effects of the "Lucky Card" haven't worn off yet, and he doesn't want to waste a single moment. He just wants to complete his first exploration of the alien world as soon as possible while the lucky aura around him lasts. This way, he can not only ensure his own safety, but also likely increase his gains during the exploration, killing two birds with one stone.
"Sky Patrol, start operating!"
Once the naming was complete, the warship's standard engines roared to life under his control, and the Sky Patrol soared into the sky, heading straight for outer space of Tianlan Star.
Normally, he should go straight home right now and tell his mother the good news that he has awakened the Purple Flame Seed. Over the years, Gu Ping has worried a lot about her eldest son, so he should share this good news with his parents as soon as possible.
However, the current situation is special. The "Lucky Card" only lasts for 24 hours, while each exploration of the alien world lasts for 48 hours. The sooner you start the exploration, the more the effect of the "Lucky Card" can be maximized.
"I'll have to explain to my mom after I get back, but thankfully..."
A faint light flickered between Chen Yao's brows. Strands of the psionic energy he had gained after transforming into his psionic body slowly gathered into a psionic vortex in the center of his brow. This psionic vortex was pitch black and deep, and there seemed to be a hidden space deep within it, where a dazzling purple light could be seen flashing by.
The special space deep between Chen Yao's eyebrows is called the Ancestral Aperture of the Flame. The purple seed of the Flame that Chen Yao awakened took root in the depths of this Ancestral Aperture. It is the special space that belongs to the Flame Captain after he transformed into the Nether Energy Body.
At this moment, Chen Yao was carefully controlling the purple flame deep within the Ancestral Aperture of the Flame, so that he could drive the Sky Patrol Ship beneath his feet with the ease of his own spiritual power.
While controlling the Sky Patrol to soar into the starry sky, Chen Yao smiled slightly and looked at the black briefcase on the left side of the main control panel.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance.
These were items he retrieved from his private safe in his university dormitory during his trip to the starship base after awakening the Seed of Fire. They were several key items he had prepared long ago for his own awakening of the Seed of Fire.
As he casually opened the briefcase, four beams of blue and purple light quickly filled the entire main control room of the warship.
That's right, the suitcase contained four Starry Sea artifacts, three blue and one purple, all of which could be transformed into shipboard components.
【Chikan Copper Stone Mother】(Purple)
【Particle Convergence Cannon】(Blue)
[Fission Core] (Blue)
[Power Overload Jump Device] (Blue)
In addition, there was a small pile of rhomboid crystals in the suitcase.
Like the [Miracle Mother Card], the item in the suitcase that radiates brilliant light is also a peerless treasure born from the boundless starry sky.
What are "Starry Sea Treasures"? They are special treasures nurtured over a long period of time by the primordial power of the starry sea. They all possess various unique abilities and are the greatest treasures in the entire starry sea.
Why does the Fireship system have an absolute advantage over systems like cultivators and wizards?
Cultivators, wizards, or other intelligent beings and civilizations in the starry seas can also use these starry sea artifacts, but they generally only master a few, and the most powerful can master a dozen or so. After that, they find it difficult to concentrate on them. However, the Firewood Warship system is different.
This unique system, created by our ancestors, is renowned for its powerful psionic compatibility. Countless stellar artifacts born from the boundless starry sea can be transformed into "psionic warship artifact components" that are compatible with the Firewood Warship.
Even the lowest-level Tier 0 psionic shuttle can easily carry more than ten different strange artifacts.
As for high-tier battleships, dreadnoughts, and even the legendary Star Destroyers, they can carry more than three-digit numbers of artifact components. Moreover, as long as the captain's Seed of Fire and the quality of the artifact components are high enough, these loaded components can be enhanced beyond the ship's own tier, doubling or even multiplying the effects of the artifact components.
The four strange items in the suitcase before him, including the [Chikan Copper Stone Mother] which can be transformed into the shipboard component [Chikan Copper Mother Ship Armor], were a gift from his father, Chen Tianhua, on his eighteenth birthday.
The [Fission Core] can be converted into the [Fission Core Engine], a reward Chen Yao received after completing a miracle quest at the age of twelve.
The Particle Concentration Cannon is a ship-mounted main gun, and along with the Source Energy Overload Jump Device, it was prepared for him by his mother, Gu Ping.
As for the pile of rhombus-shaped crystals, they were low-grade planetary origin crystals that Chen Yao had accumulated over the years, totaling more than two hundred. As a common currency in the myriad star seas, these planetary origin crystals could be used to strengthen the components of the Firewood Warship.
Finally, Chen Yao reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out the [Miracle Mother Token] along with the other item.
Under his control, a massive surge of psionic energy erupted from the Sky Patrol ship beneath his feet, quickly enveloping the five items, including the [Miracle Mother Card].
Before long, the five strange objects were almost simultaneously transformed into special shipboard components.
"load!"
Without hesitation, the five transformed artifact components were loaded onto the Sky Patrol.
Aside from the three basic components, the [Miracle Card Pool] and [Energy Overload Jump Device] directly occupy all two special component slots in the initial stage of the warship.
"Initiate enhancement!"
With the planetary origin crystals prepared in advance, Chen Yao quickly activated the enhancement of several components.
[Chikan Copper Mothership Hull Armor] lv0→lv20
[Particle Concentration Cannon] lv0→lv10
[Fission Core Engine] lv0→lv20
[Energy Overload Jump Device] lv0→lv10
In addition to these four, Chen Yao also reinforced the standard colorless components on the Sky Patrol that could not be replaced for the time being.
As for the highest quality [Miracle Card Mother Pool], because he didn't have enough Planetary Origin Crystals and only had 40 card points left, even if he enhanced it, it wouldn't be able to directly boost the combat power of [Sky Patrol] in a short time. Chen Yao's plan was to wait until the first exploration of the alien star field was over before considering enhancing it.
In just a few dozen seconds, the planetary origin crystals he had accumulated over the years were completely consumed. Even though he had heard that the Firefly Warship was a money-devouring beast, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the attributes of the Sky Patrol were now fundamentally different from the previous standard shuttle.
