Chapter 25: Damaged Armor
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Over the past 10,000 years, countless Spark battleships had appeared in the human civilization. Naturally, this was also the case for the name of the battleship.
After the commander had chosen a name that he was satisfied with, he would not change it anymore. However, most of the good names had long been used up.
As such, people could only lower their standards again and again, resulting in this situation.
Lin Dong pulled his hair. It was hard to get a good name for his Spark battleship. He could not even use his source points.
He had no choice but to change it.
After attempting for an hour, Lin Dong's mouth was dry and his tongue was parched. He could not think anymore. He narrowed his eyes and started saying all sort of names. He did not believe that he would not be able get 1 good name.
"Giant Dragon."
"Sorry, the name has already been used."
"Black Dragon."
"Black Dragon. A new name. Commander, please confirm if you wish to change the name."
Lin Dong's mind suddenly became clear. His eyes suddenly widened. "It can be used?"
What was he thinking? Black Dragon was at least much better than Little Leopard, right?
Lin Dong hurriedly replied, "Yes, confirm."
"This operation will consume 1,000 source points. Do you wish to confirm?"
"Yes."
The All Spark on the ship flickered after Lin Dong's voice sounded. It flickered for a moment before it calmed down.
"Dear commander, Thunder Flash has successfully changed its name to the Black Dragon. This change will be recorded in the log. If you need to change the name of the battleship again, you'll need to use up 2,000 source points."
Lin Dong ignored the notification and let out a long sigh.
It was hard as Lin Dong had spent over an hour changing the name of his battleship.
There was no such thing as a second change of name. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no commander would change the name of their battleship so frequently. It was not just a matter of using up source points. The battleship was the treasure of every commander and no one was willing to toss it around.
After resting for a while, Lin Dong began to think about his next action plan.
Just changing the name alone could not completely cover up the suspicion of his battleship.
This was because his Black Dragon had previously exchanged blows with the Sylvester family's battleship and its tail had been injured. It was very obvious. It would definitely be recorded in the enemy's optical computer.
The battleship did not have the same name as the Thunder Flash. However, the injured part was the same as the Thunder Flash. Perhaps, Lin Dong had over 1,000 source points, and he had used it to change the battleship's name?
Moreover, some extremely special additional modules might have the ability to change the name of the battleship.
It was simply impossible to explain.
The Sylvester family also had the confidence to attack without listening to his explanation.
Changing the name of his battleship reduced the risk of exposure, but it was still not enough.
Lin Dong then said, "Use the source points to repair the damaged parts of the battleship."
The physical structure of the Spark battleship was not much different from that of an ordinary battleship. For example, the armor was also smelted using an alloy, and its performance parameters were exactly the same as that of an ordinary battleship.
However, when these alloy armors were loaded onto the Spark battleship, the performance it displayed was far from what an ordinary battleship could compare to.
That was because of the existence of the All Spark.
The All Spark was the treasure of this human civilization. This magical creation could emit energy fluctuations, adding to the various modules of the entire battleship.
The battleship was only the carrier, and the core was still the All Spark.
Of course, the power of the All Spark could only be displayed on the battleship.
The source point was used to strengthen the battleship. However, what was strengthened was not the battleship itself, but the All Spark on the battleship.
Normally, the corresponding module strengthening would not change the module itself, but the enhancement of the module by the All Spark in the battleship. Its ability would be enhanced accordingly.
For example, the Black Dragon had a LV2 main cannon, which was much more powerful than the main cannon without enhancement.
However, when it was dismantled, it was no different from the main cannon of an ordinary warship.
Correspondingly, if a main cannon of the same specification was installed on the Black Dragon, it would become an LV2 main cannon with the enhancement of the All Spark. It was much more powerful than the main cannon of a battleship without enhancement. The core of the main cannon had always been the All Spark.
It was not difficult to repair the damaged Spark battleship. Most of the low-quality standard modules with similar technology only needed to be repaired at the repair shop.
If the damage was serious, it would be simple and convenient to change it with the module with similar model.
Of course, this replacement was only limited to the same parts. For example, the standard main cannon was replaced by the standard main cannon.
Low-quality modules were mass-produced. Even with the special requirements, it could still be mass produced to a certain extent.
If different types of main cannons replaced the original main cannons, the enhancement of standard main cannons could not be inherited.
It had to start again.
As for modules with different technologies, they could not be repaired in this way.
In an emergency or special situation, the Spark battleship still had 1 last way to repair it, which was to consume the source points.
It could repair the damage quickly, and the battleship did not need to be sent to certain places. It could be done anytime and anywhere.
However, it would be a waste to use source points to repair it.
The source points were more difficult to obtain than money.
Moreover, the source points were very precious resources, directly related to the growth of the Spark battleship. It could be said that every source point was the foundation of the Spark battleship. If the foundation of the battleship was not good, the commander would not last long either.
The source point could not be exchanged and was only limited to the use of the battleship.
When repairing the damage, the consumption of the source point was not just 1 or 2 source points.
Just like Lin Dong's current actions.
"Activating source points repair method. The damage of the battleship is as follows. Armor damage: 40%. Hull damage: 5%. The schematic diagram is as follows. Please choose the repair part."
Lin Dong looked at the schematic diagram and said, "Repair the stern armor."
The total damage to the armor was 40%. However, the damage at stern armor was obvious, it was difficult to tell from the exterior that the rest of the armor was damaged. Therefore, it was not a problem to temporarily not repair the other parts.
"Repairing the stern armor. The stern armor accounts for 10% of the total losses, and the damage rate is 100%. The ship's armor level is LV1. This repair cost 20 source points, and the repair time is 20 minutes."
"Please note that during the repair period, the armor module can not function normally."
