"I suggest we first remove the two purple-quality auxiliary modules, the Wide Area Superwave Detector and the Guanant Drill.
We probably won't be mining in Otherworldly Space in the short term.
There's obviously no need to let these two mining modules occupy two auxiliary module slots."
Mingzhi Guangxiu made his suggestion.
After weighing it briefly, everyone quickly reached a consensus and agreed with Mingzhi Guangxiu.
Wang Dong had no objections either.
After receiving the Li Family Chamber of Commerce's "generous contribution" in the Zhongli River System, the Sky Peng Horizontal's titanium crystal reserves had temporarily recovered from their low point, reaching over thirty thousand.
By comparison, Otherworldly Space mining, which required using up a slot for entry into the Otherworldly Space battlefield and yielded only two or three thousand crystals per trip, offered much poorer value.
"Even if we remove those two mining modules, we'll only free up two auxiliary module slots.
The problem with the Pillar Guard is solved, but that still leaves this ship with just one free auxiliary module slot.
From a long-term perspective, we still need to address this."
Xu Zhenzhi pondered.
"There are only two options: increase revenue or cut expenses.
But cutting expenses isn't the right path. Most of the auxiliary modules currently installed on the Sky Peng Horizontal are irreplaceable.
Only a tiny fraction can be discarded.
That won't free up many slots.
We'll have to increase revenue."
Mingzhi Guangxiu analyzed.
"But increasing revenue... is just as difficult.
The most feasible option is to raise the enhancement level of the hull structure modules.
But first, we'd need to further improve the quality of the ship's Seed of Fire.
That requires enough Civilization Points or a high-level Cosmic Treasure.
At the Sky Peng Horizontal's current stage, earning Civilization Points requires dealing a crippling blow
