Without much thought, Song Chi and Shen Qing controlled the airship as it descended, and then they walked out one after another, beginning to examine the specific attributes of these five strange objects.
The radiant glow emitted by the five strange objects was extraordinarily splendid, dazzling the two with its kaleidoscope of colors.
After that, they extended their hands and pressed each of the five strange objects against their brows, sensing their features after being converted into Torch components with the Seed of Torch within their Ancestral Aperture.
Fortune was not entirely on their side; among the five items which the Seed of Torch could generally convert, there was one it could not.
[Name: Core of Contamination]
[Quality: White]
[Effect: Contains intense contaminating energy, capable of defiling various items in the Starry Sea.]
[Convertible: No]
[Remark: An object with quite a singular use.]
Luckily, it was only one of two white quality relics, and the least valuable among the five, otherwise, Song Chi and Shen Qing might have had quite the complaints.
…
The second of the five relics was a special armor plate with a grid-like pattern etched on its surface, which could be converted into a basic component: Warship Armor.
Fire Pattern Turtle Shell Ship Armor lv0
Quality: White
Consumption: 3/s
Defence: 13
UpRank Requirement: 5 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 500 Energy Points.
This relic was of moderate value and had attributes that were basically similar to the Goldrock Ship Armor on the Cang Qiong, so Song Chi showed little interest, though selling it could still yield several thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.
The third piece was one of the main attractions.
Purple River Translocation Device lv0
Quality: Blue
Consumption: 500/instance (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: After charging, the equipped warship can perform a spatial jump in a designated direction, current maximum translocation distance: 1 Light-Year
Charging Time: 1 hour; Buffer Time: 24 hours
UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 1000 Spectral Energy Points, 1 Zero Rank Void Crystal
The attributes of this device did not disappoint, and upon seeing the “Purple River Translocation Device,” both Song Chi and Shen Qing’s heart rates accelerated simultaneously.
Translocation devices are extraordinarily rare among special components. As a scarce type of spatial warship component, a Blue Quality translocation device enables a Torch Warship to jump tens or even hundreds of light-years away in a very short time, greatly reducing the travel time of a Torch Warship.
While the current maximum jump distance showing on the attribute panel is only 1 light-year, this number will quickly increase to double digits with subsequent enhancements and upgrades.
Suppressing their excitement, their gazes shifted to another Blue Quality strange object.
This was a Blue Quality secondary cannon, slightly less rare than the Purple River Translocation Device, but still quite notable.
Twilight Ship Cannon lv0
Quality: Blue
Consumption: 2/shot (Spectral Energy Points)
Might: 2.3
No buffer or charge required
UpRank Requirement: 2 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 200 Spectral Energy Points
Lastly, Song Chi and Shen Qing turned their attention to the final piece, the highest quality among the five strange objects—a Purple Quality relic.
Molecular Repulsion Energy Shield lv0
Quality: Purple
Feature: Shield Value additionally increased by 25%
Consumption: 7/s (Spectral Energy Points)
Defence: 17
Shield Value: 213/213
Charge: 30s; Post-overload Buffer: 1 hour
UpRank Requirement: 7 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 700 Energy Points, 1 ton of gas ore
After seeing the attributes of this Purple Component, Song Chi and Shen Qing had different expressions in their eyes. Song Chi’s expression was slightly dim, as he already owned an Orange Glory Quality Energy Shield, so this Purple Quality Molecular Repulsion Energy Shield was obviously not very attractive to him.
Contrarily, Shen Qing was the opposite, his eyes shining incredibly brightly, his hands even trembling slightly.
His Qingfeng only had a White Quality Energy Shield equipped; if he could replace it with this Purple Molecular Repulsion Energy Shield, the combat power of Qingfeng could immediately increase by several times, and this was no exaggeration.
From the performance of the Cang Qiong and Qingfeng Spectral Airships, it was clear—though Qingfeng was promoted to First Rank a year earlier than Cang Qiong, in a real battle, Cang Qiong was definitely superior to Qingfeng.
With a high-quality energy shield, Cang Qiong could move freely under a barrage of fire, even using its body to block the astonishingly numerous insect swarm. But what about Qingfeng? Without the protection of Cang Qiong, it could not survive the insect swarm’s onslaught; its energy shield would likely be overloaded early on, and the ship itself would be severely damaged.
After assessing the properties of the relics, the two exchanged glances. Shen Qing spoke up first:
“Little Chi, I’ll take this Purple Quality Molecular Repulsion Shield, and you take the other four. If that’s not enough, I can gather some more Floating Land Origin upon our return…”
Before Shen Qing could finish, Song Chi interrupted with a wave of his hand.
“It’s already more than enough. This ruin was discovered by you, Big Qing, and the killing of that Queen Insect was all thanks to those two deep-space torpedoes. It’s only right that you take the lion’s share!”
Gratitude shone in Shen Qing’s eyes. Considering the stakes involved with a Purple Quality warship component, he had thought it would take some convincing. Even though they were close, as the saying goes “even brothers settle accounts clearly,” and who wouldn’t want a Purple Component?
“Little Chi, thanks!”
Having said that, they collected the five strange objects into their respective flagships, with Shen Qing taking the Purple Energy Shield, while Song Chi took the remaining four objects.
After distributing their finds, they commenced another round of searching through the second layer of space. Minutes later, Shen Qing’s excited voice came through the communication screen.
