Chapter 1261: Chapter 676: [Chaos Nest] and [Domain Collision Device] (Happy New Year)

The moment Song Chi laid eyes on this [Domain Collision Device] component, his gaze seemed to stick to it, unable to move away.

This type of component is extremely rare, even more so than the [Torch Tier Fire Source].

In his nearly thousand-year captain career, Song Chi had seen various ranks of upgrade fire sources, even black quality ones more than once, but it was only the second time he saw a domain collision-type component.

Well... strictly speaking, it could even be considered the first.

Because the previous time was when he targeted the first Fourth Rank species, namely the heavily injured Golden Armored Giant Beast, he saw the Bai family’s cruiser use it from afar.

At that time, he only observed from a distance and did not see the true attributes of the domain collision component, so this time could really be considered the first.

Domain Collision Device lv0

Quality: Gold

Unique Feature: Collision Domain

Consumption: 100000/each

Upgrade Requirement: 100 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 10000 Spectral Energy Points

Note: This component requires occupying 5 slot positions

{Collision Domain: After activation, the equipped warship will generate a very strong collision force, which in a very short time forms a special domain. When in contact with other external domains, fields, or force fields, both sides will rapidly engage in a fierce collision and eventually disintegrate together. Currently, it can only collide with First Rank energy level domains, fields, or force fields. The cooldown time is fixed at 24 hours.}

Song Chi didn’t know if all domain collision-type components have this "unique feature" or if it’s just this one, but either way, he was very satisfied with this [Domain Collision Device].

Unique feature indicates the attributes of this component are even more remarkable.

Starting at lv0, it works on First Rank energy level domains. Once upgraded to lv80, this component should be able to collide with domains triggered by Ninth Rank beings, it absolutely deserves the word ’top rank’.

Of course, this is under the premise that the equipped warship is a Star River Ship. If it’s just a Star-Annihilating Starship or even a Fearless Ship, this effect will certainly be reduced somewhat.

Still, it should be able to have some reduction effect on Ninth Rank energy level domains.

Not thinking too much, he directly acquired this [Domain Collision Device]. For the remaining two items, Song Chi pondered for a long time and eventually chose the [Mechanical Dominator Furnace] and the Titanium Crystal Ore Core.

[Mechanical Dominator Furnace], as a black oddity, is converted from the power furnace of an Eighth Rank mechanical creation. Although it cannot be converted into a shipborne component, it has considerable allure when dealing with civilizations of technological or mechanical races, and Song Chi is confident he can trade it out.

As for the Titanium Crystal Ore Core, according to the main building’s staff description, it originates from a vein with reserves of a million Titanium Crystals, and its recovery rate is quite decent at 10%, producing 100,000 Titanium Crystals annually without loss.

Although this is based on information before it was excavated, later if you want to merge it back into a similarly sized Titanium Crystal vein, the recovery rate will inevitably be reduced, but generally, it won’t be reduced by more than half, meaning it can guarantee producing 50,000 Titanium Crystals per year. This is very important for the Song family, which urgently needs Titanium Crystals for development.

Song Chi personally plans to take half of the annually produced Titanium Crystals, considering he also needs them badly; it’s naturally impossible to prioritize all family needs.

Having confirmed the three items he needs, Song Chi’s attention still hadn’t shifted back, lingering yearningly on the Eighth and Ninth Rank Dominator True Spirit options.

Upon returning, he carefully inventoried the resources at hand. The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong is about to be promoted, and strengthening various warship components will require a large amount of rare resources, strategically needing to plan ahead.

Because of previous opportunistic actions and the recent Demon Snake Floating Land actions resulting in multiple gains, other resources such as Eighth and Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin, Titanium Crystal, Law Stone, etc., are sufficient, satisfying the multiple rounds of enhancement for several components.

The headache lies in the Dominator True Spirit. Over the few hundred years of accumulation, Song Chi had stockpiled a certain number of Dominator True Spirits, but over 90% of them are Seventh Rank Dominator True Spirits.

Seventh Rank Dominator True Spirit: 214 pieces

Eighth Rank Dominator True Spirit: 18 pieces

Ninth Rank Dominator True Spirit: 8 pieces

For ordinary or senior Star-Annihilating Starships that have been promoted for over a few tens of thousands of years, this amount of Dominator True Spirits is definitely sufficient, but for Song Chi, it is far from enough.

The reason is simple: once the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong successfully promotes, Song Chi aims to directly enhance multiple basic and frequently used special ship components to lv90, thus requiring a large amount of Eighth Rank Dominator True Spirits.

Don’t forget that though components at Eighth Rank can be enhanced using Seventh Rank Dominator True Spirits, each enhancement level requires ten times the number of Seventh Rank Dominator True Spirits. Although 214 pieces seem plenty right now, once the enhancement starts, they will run out quickly.

Therefore, Eighth Rank Dominator True Spirits are necessary.

Currently, Song Chi possesses eight Ninth Rank Dominator True Spirits, and his plan is to enhance eight Ninth Rank components directly once the warship finishes promotion. Calculatively, this requires 80 pieces of Eighth Rank Dominator True Spirits; currently, there’s a shortfall of nearly half.

Actually, he intends to exchange 10 pieces here to reduce the gap, but the three other items also have significant value, so after consideration, he decided to give up on exchanging Dominator True Spirits.
