This value was incredibly demanding. At present, the Sky-Survey Radar on the Battle Axe had a detection precision of only "10."
Aside from high-energy weapon charging, normal navigation didn't interrupt the stealth effect.
It was much like the stealth mode used by assassin professions—an excellent choice for staying alive.
The Mirage System was undoubtedly the most valuable module on the Battle Axe—its worth far surpassed the total value of all the other Ship Modules combined.
As for the Pegasus Jump Drive, it was a purple-quality module, a rare-grade item.
As the name suggests, "rare" implies scarcity.
From purple quality upward, the number of Ship Modules available decreases exponentially.
Any Ship Module of purple quality or above was considered a rare resource even among the privileged classes.
Take, for instance, Baron Blackstone, the lord of the Mining Star Region where Wang Dong resided—he didn't even own a single purple-quality Ship Module.
And for the current state of both the Battle Axe and Wang Dong, this Pegasus Jump Drive was absolutely essential.
Ordinary engines are only suitable for sub-light speed travel within normal space and cannot push a Battleship past the light-speed barrier.
As everyone knows, interstellar distances are usually measured in light-years.
At sub-light speeds, true interstellar travel is essentially impossible.
Obviously, for a spacefaring Battleship, a module like the Pegasus Jump Drive was indispensable.
This purple-grade Pegasus Jump Drive on the Battle Axe supported a maximum speed of 100 times the speed of light—
given its compact size, its performance was exceptional.
What made it even more precious was its special attribute.
Only Ship Modules of blue quality or above came with additional attributes, which were often their core strengths.
This one had Rapid Jump—
Within a range of 0.1 light-years, it could ignore the entire deep-space transition process and jump instantly.
This attribute essentially allowed the Battle Axe to teleport once every 24 hours within a 0.1-light-year radius!
When combined with the stealth effect of the Mirage System, this was the true reason the Battle Axe had repeatedly escaped the Jin Family's pursuit.
With the Mirage System, the Battle Axe's movements became nearly untraceable—
even if the Mirage's stealth would be temporarily disabled during weapon charging, limiting its use to ambushes and infiltration.
But the Pegasus Jump Drive granted the ship the ability to rapidly relocate.
When stealth was paired with rapid jumps, the escape capability was top-notch.
If not for betrayal from within, Yuan Shu could've roamed free for a long time.
This was also one of the key reasons Wang Dong had always been determined to acquire the Battle Axe.
The Mirage System and the Pegasus Jump Drive alone already formed the framework of a tactical system.
Whether or not a Spark Warship possessed its own distinct tactical system was precisely the biggest difference between a cannon-fodder ship and an elite vessel.
The Battle Axe's tactical system core was already in place.
If just one or two more functional Ship Modules were added, the entire system would be complete.
Moreover, any Spark Warship that truly aspired to reach the stars and the sea of the cosmos had to be capable of faster-than-light travel.
And among the modules that could provide jump capabilities and still be compatible with the Shipborne Fire Seed, there were very few in existence.
Of course, high-quality modules were desirable—but they came at a steep price.
Each Ship Module had detailed data outlining its upgrade requirements.
Source Points were essential.
The higher the module's quality, the more Source Points were needed for enhancement.
For example, upgrading the gold-quality Mirage System required five times the Source Points of a no-grade module!
In addition to the Source Point gap, high-quality modules were also demanding in another aspect.
No-grade and green-grade modules required only the most common and cheap minerals or resources to upgrade.
High-grade modules, however, started off needing rare materials like Titanium Crystal.
The Dark Titanium Ore Wang Dong previously mined was already considered one of the most valuable minerals in circulation—
but Titanium Crystal was a hundred times more expensive, and not even available on the open market!
At this moment, both the Mirage System and the Pegasus Jump Drive were in a cooldown state.
The Mirage System still had 11 hours and 23 minutes remaining.
The Pegasus Jump Drive had 6 hours and 52 minutes left.
Yuan Shu had used them previously, and the cooldowns hadn't yet finished.
Wang Dong smiled.
At this point in his previous life, he had been clumsily commanding the Battle Axe, struggling to fend off the Jin Family's Battleship attacks.
He had relied solely on his familiarity with the Asteroid Belt Mining Zone's environment, the chaotic stellar conditions, and some help from the system to delay the enemy.
The purpose of that delay was to buy time—
time for the cooldowns of these two modules to end.
But this time, he had completely avoided the crisis.
If everything went as expected, that Jin Family Battleship should still be scouring the area where the Battle Axe had captured the Mine Overlord Type II.
In fact, ever since his rebirth, Wang Dong had prepared several contingency plans.
