The mining duo were, after all, only purple-quality modules.
Even though they had long since been upgraded to their maximum level.
Their efficiency was only so-so.
For titanium crystal ore, however, the Guanant Drill was more than efficient enough.
That was because titanium crystal ore wasn't very large.
The only drawback was that the Guanant Drill could only mine to a depth of 300 kilometers.
Against a larger asteroid,
they might need to use the ship's cannons to assist with the work.
But that wasn't much of a problem aboard the Sky Peng Horizontal.
The ship had several hull traits that provided all-attribute bonuses.
These significantly enhanced every aspect of the Guanant Drill's performance.
The main problem was probably the Wide Area Superwave Detector.
Its range was only 3,000 kilometers, and even after being boosted by the Sky Peng Horizontal's various hull traits,
it could only reach around 20,000 kilometers.
And in the boundless reaches of space,
20,000 kilometers wasn't a very large area.
More importantly,
each scan by the Wide Area Superwave Detector took time.
On paper, it took ten seconds.
In practice, it took five.
That didn't seem like much.
But it added up when the detector had to be used so many times.
If they could improve on that five-second scan time,
the boost to efficiency would be considerable.
This time,
Wang Dong didn't look around for anyone else.
It was still Mingzhi Guangxiu!
Mingzhi Guangxiu immediately understood and added another item to the procurement list.
There was, in fact, another way.
They could simply improve the modules from within.
They could use the Limited Evolution trait to evolve the mining duo to gold quality.
Their performance would naturally improve considerably.
But Wang Dong didn't choose to do that.
It was mainly a question of cost-effectiveness.
Evolving
