There were 2 types of module slots, standard modules and additional modules.
Among them, the number of standard module slots on each Spark battleship was fixed.
For battleships, there were only 5 standard module slots at the beginning, the main cannon, armor, engine, detection radar, and energy shield.
A total of 5 standard module slots.
The additional modules were special. The number of slots was not fixed. Depending on the structure and quality of the battleship, it might consist of 1 to 3 additional module slots.
However, as the level of the battleship increased, the number of additional module slots would also increase.
Even so, the number of additional module slots on each battleship was always limited.
Every additional module would bring special abilities. These abilities were usually hard to predict and would bring special changes.
Of course, not every civilization’s creation could be used on the Spark battleship.
There were still some creations that could not be integrated into it. Lin Dong was not clear about the specific principles behind it. It seemed to involve some kind of mysterious rules.
Although Lorne was in trouble, his ancestors were rich after all. His family was well-known back then, so he might know about the rules.
While Lorne was still in a good mood, Lin Dong asked him more about the Thunder Flash.
When he thought of this, Lin Dong opened his mouth and asked, “Lorne, what kind of civilization creation can be used as the ship module for the Spark battleship? Not all of them can be used, right?”
Lorne was in a good mood as he shook his head and said, “No, only creations that are accepted by the All spark can be loaded into the module slot of the Spark battleship and used as a ship module. As for the specific reason, there is no answer at the moment. The relevant scholars have been studying it, but unfortunately, they have not come up with an answer.”
“However, they have also come to the conclusion that during the manufacturing process, creations that are entrusted with a certain belief or that contain painstaking effort have a higher chance of being accepted by the All spark and can be used as ship module.”
Lin Dong remembered this information. As least he could recognize some good modules when he encountered them in the future.
After all, a noble in distress was still a noble. He knew a lot about the Spark battleship.
Lorne continued, “Other than the compatibility, the most important aspect of the Spark battleship is its growth!”
“It’s also because of the growth of the Spark battleship that it has become an important force for our civilization to travel in space.”
“Based on the characteristics of the Spark battleship, when it travels in space, it’ll monitor some kind of space signal. With the help of the All spark, it can enter a different space from our own universe. According to the statistics and research over the years, it can be confirmed that the civilization in the alternate space is not in the same universe as ours
“The alternate space is another universe. You will obtain a mysterious energy source like the source points when you use the Spark battleship to fight there, destroying a civilization’s creation in the alternate space or killing a civilization’s life in the alternate space.”
“The source points, together with minerals and other resources, can strengthen and upgrade the modules on the Spark battleship and enhance the battleship’s combat power. You can improve your battleship very quickly. It’s like absorbing the essence of other civilizations. It’s far more powerful than the combat power of our normal civilization
“Compatibility and growth. These 2 characteristics are possessed by every Spark battleship. It’s equivalent to a divine weapon with infinite potential.”
“As time goes by, the human civilization will have more and more such divine weapons. They’ll feed back to the civilization itself and improve our technological knowledge, which will make our civilization stronger.”
“Lin Dong, seize the opportunity. With your ability, I believe that you won’t die so soon.”
Lorne smiled and patted the armrest of his seat.
Speaking of the origin of the Spark battleship, recalling history, Lorne could not help but feel proud of the prosperity of his civilization.
Due to the existence of compatibility and growth, each Spark battleship was basically different. It had its own uniqueness and strong commander’s personal style.
Of course, due to the limitation of the source points acquisition rate, the Spark battleship had its limit as well.
The source points acquisition rate referred to the efficiency of the Spark battleship in acquiring source points.
The source points acquisition rate of the 1st generation Spark battleship was 100%. After that, every time the commander’s authority was transferred, the source points acquisition rate would drop by half.
The higher the level of the ship module was strengthened, the more source points needed.
When the first commander died and gave it to the next commander, the efficiency of obtaining source points was reduced by half. It was even more difficult to obtain the source points that the first commander did not complete. When the 3rd commander received it, the efficiency was only 25%, that was even more impossible.
When the Spark battleship was passed to the 4th commander, the battleship basically had no potential to evolve or grow. This was because there were too many source points needed, and the efficiency of obtaining them was too slow. It would be difficult to achieve it.
With that, it caused the battleship to be unable to continue strengthening and growing.
The reason why the efficiency of the acquisition would decrease was because every time the commander was changed, the All spark in the battleship would need to be reintegrated, and its purity would be polluted.
The decrease in the rate of the acquisition of source points was a concrete manifestation of this.
Thunder Flash was a 2nd generation battleship in Lorne’s hands, and the rate of the acquisition of source points was 50%.
When it was passed to Lin Dong, it became a 3rd generation battleship. The rate of obtaining the source points was 25%. Fortunately, it was not a 4th generation battleship.
It was not an easy task to obtain the source points. If a Spark battleship wanted to enter the alternate space battlefield, the conditions were harsh. First, it had to be in the empty space of the universe. There was no interference from other celestial bodies around, only the Spark battleship would be able to monitor the signals from the alternate space.
This kind of signal acquisition was completely dependent on luck. There was no similar location or pattern, and the signals would appear and disappear quickly.
There were even battleships that could not capture the signals from the alternate space for 3 years, and there were also battleships that could get 1 signal once every 3 days.
However, according to the statistics of all the battleships, on average, each Spark battleship could capture the signals from the alternate space twice a year, thus opening the battlefield of the other dimension.
