Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 448 - 156 Core Bonus

The rhetorical question from Brilliant made Chen Ming lose his composure for a moment.

He seriously considered whether Brilliant was trying to trap him, but concluded that it was unlikely.

Moreover, Brilliant did indeed help Chen Ming contact the boss through its senses.

Otherwise, Chen Ming would still be lying on the ground, or the boss, who had been waiting to hear from him, would have found him by now.

However, Chen Ming needed to confirm a few things to avoid problems when using spiritual energy to control new Dusk entities in the future.

"So, apart from the advantages my logical block gives you, has my spiritual energy’s influence on you weakened?"

"There hasn’t been any change, only the augmentation from the spiritual energy has weakened."

"Hmm... Alright, wait a moment."

Chen Ming immediately opened Brilliant’s panel.

After deliberately ignoring most of the useless information on the panel.

The valuable information left was only a few lines.

Namely, [Weapons], [Armor], [Engine], and [Important Equipment].

The rest, like the 18,000 radiant energy capacity, 1,000 radiant energy dissipation, and fuel reserves, weren’t important.

In front of Chen Ming’s ability, as long as the radiant energy capacity doesn’t instantly max out and he has enough spiritual power, he can salvage any situation.

Of course, the main-level weapons are out of the question.

These can inflict at least fifty thousand radiant energy damage to ships in an instant; a proper cruiser stands no chance.

Actually, [Armor] and [Engine] can be considered generally important items.

After all, they use the universal armor and engine of the Dusk ships, nothing special.

Chen Ming currently has no capability or need to modify them.

So these two things, along with the Brilliant-level [Weapons], those four Speed Particle Spears, are less important compared to the special equipment that is running on the ship.

However, after removing some standard equipment present on normal ships once more.

What was left is only the High-Energy Focusing System Module and the Ship AI Overclocking Device equipped on most advanced Dusk ships, which still have some value.

Of course, there is also the Teleportation Engine and the Flashing Engine.

But the most important thing relative to ships of the same level is the Brilliant-level unique [Plasma Reserve System].

This is a system that can utilize special devices on the Brilliant-level ships to collect plasma roaming in space, providing special effects for the Brilliant-level engine or energy weapons.

Equipped with two subsystems respectively called [Plasma Burst Propulsion] and [Plasma Armament Entanglement].

Increasing the instantaneous output capacity of the engine and the output power of the weapons, or directly using plasma to attack.

However, looking through all this, Chen Ming still didn’t find a column related to his spiritual energy augmentation on the panel.

Could it be on the core panel?

Chen Ming casually opened the Brilliant’s Alpha Level core panel.

[Dusk Alpha Level AI Core (Brilliant)]

[Manufacturer: Dusk BP-55 Colony Far Northern Industrial Production Center]

[Alpha Level Core Enhancement: Star System Planning]

[Self-consciousness: Exists]

[Computational Power: Star System Level]

[Executable Operations: None]

"There really is one..."

The core panel had one more line of content that Chen Ming had never seen before, [Alpha Level Core Enhancement: Star System Planning].

Just such an obvious line, he should have seen it unless he was blind; how come he has no impression of it?

Chen Ming thought carefully.

Suddenly realized that he seemed to have never opened the panel of a still-running Alpha Level core before.

Only when he got the G3 core and the one Bai Quan gave him did he look at their panels.

But at that time, G3 was already dead, the core was empty.

The core Bai Quan gave him was also always in a dormant state.

It might be necessary for this core to stop dormancy, and after initiation, receive Chen Ming’s spiritual energy augmentation to determine the specific core enhancement.

So naturally, the core that Bai Quan gave didn’t have this content related to advantageous logical blocks.

Luckily, knowing it now isn’t too late, as this stage is the time when he truly needs to start using the Alpha Level core.

And the effect of this [Star System Planning] from Brilliant is indeed as it said to Chen Ming earlier, related to its advantageous logical blocks.

During any form of management below the star system level performed by Brilliant, computational power can be increased.

However, there’s no specific value on the panel; the specific value depends on Brilliant’s own sense, which is about 20%.

This kind of Alpha Level core enhancement effect gives Chen Ming the feeling it should count as one of the manifestations of his spiritual capability.

It’s also in a proper sense that his auxiliary spiritual ability can be considered an auxiliary ability.

The effect is to provide additional enhancement from the advantageous logical blocks to the Dusk controlled by him.

Honestly, Chen Ming feels his spiritual ability is a bit peculiar.

But on second thought, his spiritual capability is inherently a rather strange one.

After all, he’s never heard from the boss about anything panel-related.

The spiritual abilities of others are evidently entirely different from the specific panel existence of his kind, being more "virtual."

But it doesn’t matter anyway.

This specific panel at least makes it look more convenient for Chen Ming.

After understanding all this, Chen Ming turned back to Brilliant and said: "Alright, I understand. So my spiritual energy directly gives you enhancement when I affect you, right?"
