After a brief moment of thought, Wang Dong issued a new command: "Scan the terrain of the habitable planets below and identify nodes capable of triggering large-scale disasters."
For every ten thousand civilians wiped out, 1 Source Point could be earned. The Yatai Star System below was the main star system of the Yatai Civilization, with extremely high population density. Each habitable planet held billions of residents.
If he could trigger a natural disaster or two, wiping out hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives in minutes—it would be immensely rewarding.
This return rate was even higher than simply destroying Battleships.
That's why Hyperspace Battlefields containing habitable planets were known as "golden dungeons."
Unfortunately, in such a vast universe, the proportion of habitable planets was very low.
And in the Hyperspace Battlefield, the chance of encountering a habitable planet was even slimmer—like finding one in a thousand light-years.
It was the stuff of legend, reserved for those "luck-blessed" captains.
As for a habitable planet with a high population density, that was one in ten thousand. Anyone lucky enough to find one would throw a massive banquet afterward to keep from jinxing their luck.
And right in front of Wang Dong—there were three habitable planets with high population density. Just saying it out loud would be enough to make countless captains jealous to the point of murder.
It had to be said—this Hyperspace Battlefield was practically a gift box for Wang Dong.
In just ten minutes, the Shipboard AI Core projected three holographic 3D maps corresponding to the three habitable planets, each marked with potential nodes that could cause large-scale casualties.
Wang Dong glanced over them—super-large hydraulic structures, highly flammable and explosive facilities within megacities, nuclear power plants near dense population zones, and even a detonatable massive undersea volcano…
"A classic movie supervillain..."
Wang Dong instantly gained some self-awareness.
"Good thing this Hyperspace civilization's aesthetics are totally unjust."
Wang Dong naturally had access to the racial profile of the Yatai Civilization.
They looked like gorillas in clothing, barely resembling anything close to "human."
Wang Dong figured that if his opponents had humanoid features, he might have hesitated before going for this kind of massacre-based tactic.
"Unfortunately, the supplies on the Battle Axe are pretty scarce."
Wang Dong sighed. "The early game is always hard. Limited conditions—there's no helping it."
As his thoughts shifted, Wang Dong formed a rough plan.
Of course, the battlefield was fluid. Implementation would depend on how the situation evolved.
Each Hyperspace Battlefield only lasted twenty-four hours. Once time was up, the Spark Warship would be ejected back into the real universe.
With just over twenty hours left, Wang Dong wasted no time. Based on the Shipboard AI Core's analysis, he chose the Fourth Planet of the Yatai Star System as his starting point.
This habitable planet had a population of 6.8 billion, four megacities with over 100 million people each, and three super-large hydraulic facilities—a total of fifteen targetable nodes.
What came next went very smoothly.
Relying on the Mirage System's stealth capability, the Battle Axe easily evaded the patrolling fleets in the star system and silently infiltrated the target planet.
First, the main cannon targeted and bombarded flammable and explosive pipelines and storage depots in the megacities. Then the secondary guns eliminated the cities' primary firefighting forces. Finally, the super-large waterworks were breached.
A complete "natural disaster trilogy."
Within just one hour, the four megacities on the planet were engulfed in flames.
The destruction of the three massive water facilities caused widespread flooding—fire and water raged across the planet.
At the cost of just 17 rounds of main cannon ammunition and 36 secondary shells, the Battle Axe earned 282 Source Points.
This meant that more than ten million members of the Yatai Civilization had perished in the man-made catastrophe.
However, due to the Battle Axe's 25% Source Point conversion rate, the total gains were halved, then halved again.
The Spark Warship's "inheritance tax" was truly monstrous.
And this was only the beginning.
The fires and floods would not be quelled any time soon, and the casualty numbers were still rising rapidly.
As time passed, the Battle Axe's Source Points continued to accumulate.
Main cannon rounds remaining: 106
Secondary shells remaining: 1976
Current Source Points: 354
"A pity… Only twenty-four hours in Hyperspace. Any further casualties after the exit won't count toward results—no more Source Points."
Wang Dong was a bit regretful.
Disasters like floods often lasted far longer than 24 hours, and most of the damage came from their lingering aftermath.
After all, even a flood needed time to spread.
Ignoring the now-alerted Yatai Civilization, the Battle Axe quickly departed from the Fourth Planet and flew toward another nearby habitable world.
This planet had only two megacities with populations exceeding 100 million, but twelve cities with populations between 70 and 100 million.
Destroying massive water facilities caused large-scale losses, but it took time to manifest. This time, Wang Dong opted for a more direct method—fire.
