Commentary

Module slots are divided into two types: standard modules and additional modules.

Among them, the number of standard module slots on each Kindling Warship is fixed.

For a destroyer-class ship, there are initially only five types of standard module slots: main cannon, armor, engine, radar, and energy shield.

Each type of standard module slot is one, totaling five.

The number of additional module slots is not fixed. Depending on the quality and level of the hull structure, the initial number of additional module slots each Kindling Warship possesses varies.

It's basically between one and three.

Afterward, as the hull structure's reinforcement level increases, the number of additional module slots will also increase.

Overall, the number of module slots on any Kindling Warship is always limited and scarce.

However, it is undeniable that any functional shipboard module often brings unique abilities to a Kindling Warship.

These abilities are often unconventional and difficult to predict.

Of course, this doesn't mean that any civilized creation can be plugged and played on a Kindling Warship; there are still certain special requirements.

Wang Dong doesn't know the specific requirements. In his short life before rebirth, he was always on the run from pursuers and never received a proper education.

He only knows that it might involve some rules of the mysterious system.

But this is normal. The shipboard fire seed itself, and even the existence of Kindling Warships, involve many rules of the mysterious system—if everything could be explained clearly, would it still be the mysterious system?

However, Yuan Shu is here now, and he seems to be in good spirits.

The Yuan family is also part of the privileged class, and their ancestors were once prosperous, so they probably know a lot about some secret matters.

Wang Dong's mind raced, and he seized the opportunity to ask the question that was bothering him.

"Mr. Yuan, what kind of civilized creations can be used as shipboard modules for Kindling Warships? It can't be all of them, otherwise, it would be too overpowered."

Yuan Shu's mood was indeed good.

He didn't mind Wang Dong's interruption and explained with interest, "There is indeed a threshold. Only creations that are recognized or accepted by the shipboard fire seed can be mounted in the module slots of a Kindling Warship and used as shipboard modules.

As for the specific conditions, there is currently no precise way to determine them. There are dozens of research schools, large and small, just within the Amethyst Kingdom.

But one point is universally acknowledged.

Creations that embody a certain belief, spirit, or contain heartfelt effort during their creation process have a higher chance of being accepted by the shipboard fire seed and used as shipboard modules."

Wang Dong took Yuan Shu's words to heart.

This was also something he couldn't have learned before his rebirth.

As expected, even a starving camel is bigger than a horse; Yuan Shu still had valuable information.

Seeing that Wang Dong didn't ask further, Yuan Shu continued his introduction.

"Compatibility is a major characteristic of Kindling Warships.

But if that were all, Kindling Warships wouldn't be enough to become the military power that our human civilization relies on to dominate the galaxy.

Another major characteristic of Kindling Warships is their growth potential!"

Wang Dong's spirit lifted. Here it comes, this is the true purpose of the Warship Game Auxiliary System on him.

"Relying on the special nature of the shipboard fire seed, when a Kindling Warship detects a certain spatial signal, it can use the shipboard fire seed to enter an alternate space different from our universe.

Based on years of research, we can basically confirm that this alternate space should be another universe different from the one our civilization inhabits.

Kindling Warships fight in this alternate space. Destroying creations or killing life forms in the alternate space yields a mysterious resource called [Origin Point].

Through Origin Points, combined with minerals or resources, the various shipboard modules mounted on the Kindling Warship can be strengthened and upgraded, enhancing the warship's combat power.

The speed of this enhancement is far greater than the increase in warship combat power brought about by normally advancing civilization's technological level!

Combining compatibility and growth potential, each Kindling Warship is equivalent to a divine weapon with infinite potential.

As time passes, our human civilization possesses more and more divine weapons, which in turn feed back into the development of civilization itself in all aspects. This is the fundamental reason for our civilization's continuous strengthening!

Glory to the Kindling Warships, glory to our human civilization!"

At this point, Yuan Shu patted the seat beneath him emotionally.

Wang Dong was also somewhat moved.

As a transmigrator, he was also a member of humanity and naturally felt proud of his civilization's prosperity.

"Therefore, each Kindling Warship has its uniqueness, especially Kindling Warships that have been strengthened and upgraded to a certain extent; it's almost impossible to find two identical ones.

Of course, due to the limitations of the origin point acquisition rate, Kindling Warships cannot actually be strengthened and grow indefinitely.

The so-called origin point acquisition rate, simply put, is the efficiency with which a Kindling Warship obtains Origin Points.

The origin point acquisition rate of the first-generation Kindling Warships is 100%. Afterward, each time the Captain's authority is transferred, the origin point acquisition rate is halved."
