The Xigu Galaxy!

Mada shook his head.

"The mission requires us to disguise ourselves as a special operations force from the White Elephant Republic.

If we leave the lower-level researchers behind,

we'll have almost no chance of pulling it off."

"Then we'll take everyone."

Wang Dong made the call.

"That means we'll need a lot of assault team members to control the situation."

Zhou Tai's steady voice rang out.

"The Dark Peng needs more space to carry that many people and supplies.

I'll spend some time modifying more efficient logistics equipment, so we can get everyone and everything aboard the Dark Peng as quickly as possible."

Paul, a Master Mechanic, also took an active part in the discussion.

"We can expand the assault team.

As for the space inside the ship, we can deal with that by further upgrading the Starshine-class Space Folder.

If we're only strengthening one module,

the strain on our titanium crystal reserves should be manageable."

Wang Dong rubbed his chin and made his decision.

As everyone discussed the plan,

they worked through and refined every detail.

To support this operation,

Wang Dong even broke into the titanium crystal reserves he'd been saving for the sake of evolving as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the Dark Peng's current space-folding multiplier was sixteen.

That already gave the ship a considerable amount of interior space.

Even allowing for the worst-case scenario,

Wang Dong only needed to strengthen the module by ten levels.

So, after spending 350,000 Source Points, 350 titanium crystals, and 10 Intermediate Energy Crystals,

the Starshine-class Space Folder was upgraded from LV.10 to LV.20!

``` [Starshine-class Space Folder (Orange) (LV.20): When installed, folds the space within the ship.

Folding multiplier: 26x

Energy Consumption: 3 points/second

Traits:

1. Stable Space: The spatial stability of a warship equipped with a Starshine-class Space
