Chapter 160: Goal, a 90% Success Rate for Cang Qiong's Promotion!_2
Throughout the journey and mining operations, Song Chi naturally kept busy, identifying several resource coordinates with suitable distance and fairly decent value.
In this way, nearly ten hours quickly passed, and the total value of the resources he had collected amounted to three to four thousand strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin.
Just as Song Chi thought his exploration of the Alien Star Domain would end under these circumstances, a newly checked marked message slightly altered the situation.
[Second Rank Biological Energy Fluctuations, coordinates xxxxx.]
When it comes to the energy fields emitted by organisms, the Magic Energy Detection Radar can only detect the specific energy levels and bearing, and cannot provide an estimate of the species of the organism.
The reason is simple: the energy fields emitted by minerals and similar items are fixed and unchanging, with unique energy wave frequencies.
But the energy fields of organisms are different; they change with the state of the organism itself, and even within the same species, energy fields vary greatly. Therefore, it's impossible to provide specific species information.
Although slightly regrettable, Song Chi generally accepted this limitation since the previous Sky-Eye Patrol Radar lacked this feature completely.
"Second Rank Biological Energy Field, eh..."
Muttering this, he didn't act hastily but instead took a moment to ponder before continuing to examine the various marks on the radar map.
While the blood of a Second Rank Alien Race does have some effect on the enhancement success rate for the Cang Qiong, if there's only one such creature, it's not worth the trouble for him to go out of his way.
The current enhancement success rate for the Cang Qiong is just barely 51%, and he would need to eliminate more than four hundred Second Rank Alien Race creatures to bring the success rate to a satisfactory figure.
However, there were simply too many messages marked on the radar map to review them all in a short time; coupled with the mental effort spent searching for suitable resource points before, Song Chi felt somewhat overwhelmed.
After a brief consideration, he turned and summoned the Cang Qiong's semi-automatic shipboard intelligence to see if it could offer assistance with this issue.
He soon gave himself a pat on the back for this decision.
At the same time, he inwardly chided himself for not thinking of this sooner.
In terms of information gathering, searching, and categorization, no one dares claim to be first when the Intelligent Brain is second- a common knowledge in the Shattered Starry Sea.
Though the semi-automatic shipboard intelligence on the Torch Warship was not comparable to those bug-like Intelligent Brains, its computational ability was still a substantial improvement over the Torch Ship Captain's own capabilities.
After Song Chi defined a specific goal of [Second Rank and above Life Energy Field Marking Information], the shipboard intelligence marked over a hundred red points on the radar map within a short span of ten minutes or so.
What pleased Song Chi was that among these hundred-odd red points, there were not only Second Rank Biological Energy Fields but also nearly ten Third Rank Biological Energy Fields.
This result exhilarated Song Chi, not just because of the Cang Qiong's subsequent enhancement success rate but also because with the assistance of the shipboard semi-automatic intelligence, he would no longer have to worry about the energy information coordinates marked by the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] as the ship's Captain.
Quickly, Song Chi almost entirely focused his attention on those red dots on the radar map.
"These unidentified creatures emitting energy fluctuations are all active in the same region; they're undoubtedly from the same species group..."
"But the distance is a bit troublesome..."
As he muttered, Song Chi's divided attention scanned the [Brainwave Remote Control System] component, and then he frowned slightly.
Currently, the Enhancement Level of the [Brainwave Remote Control System] component was at lv23, with a control distance of only 1.6 light-years.
The activity range of those unidentified creatures was generally between 1.8 and 2 light-years, which meant the [Brainwave Remote Control System] wasn't quite sufficient unless he could control the Cang Qiong to make a jump or...
A moment later, Song Chi expended 57 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin and 9 Titanium Crystals to enhance the [Brainwave Remote Control System] component's level to lv25.
At lv25, the maximum control distance of the [Brainwave Remote Control System] component increased from 1.6 light-years to 2 light-years. He then looked at the [Fixed-Point Launch Pad] component, which at lv20 also had a maximum deployment distance of exactly 2 light-years, so there was no need for further enhancement.
After putting away the remaining 1 Titanium Crystal and 188 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi activated the [Brainwave Remote Control System]. After implanting a Brainwave Beacon into one of the four newly summoned Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, all four stood on the [Fixed-Point Launch Pad].
Song Chi wished to deploy more Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, but the area of the Fixed-Point Launch Pad was limited, with a one-time maximum of four figurines, which required them to stand back to back tightly. There was simply no other way.
Hum hum hum!
Accompanied by a faint energy fluctuation, four Third Rank Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines disappeared from within the Cang Qiong.
1.9 light-years away.
After the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines materialized in outer space, under the command of Song Chi's Brainwave Beacon, they swiftly used their Rift-Space Ability to disappear into the void.
Soon, an Alien Species creature emitting Third Rank energy fluctuations appeared near this asteroid belt.
It seemed to have sensed the subtle spatial fluctuations transmitted by the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines' transport, and after searching the area for a while, once it determined nothing else was found, it turned and left.
