Chapter 1136: New construction plan
After dealing with some busy matters arising from the establishment of the Dragon Star Empire.
Zhao Chen finally managed to find the time to meet with the three chief engineers of the JF-17 Thunder series.
Inside the office of the T5 Star River-class interstellar industrial base, Chief Engineer Nana and Chief Engineer Elise the Spider Queen were already eagerly waiting for Zhao Chen to arrive.
Annie, on the other hand, sat in a chair, swinging her legs, her face expressionless.
Her eyes, devoid of any expression, seemed to have seen through the very nature of life.
She knew very well that at the beginning of this year, the Commander... no, now she should be called the Emperor.
The emperor came to see them; there could only be one reason.
That is to set up the production plan for the new year and to come up with a series of new starship technologies.
Looking back on every year that has passed, it has almost always been like this.
It's a bittersweet experience.
While enjoying the New Year's holiday, we also have to face the nightmare start to the new year.
Anne knew this was unavoidable.
All she can do now is hope that His Majesty the Emperor will be lenient this time.

Footsteps approached, and Zhao Chen, dressed in a magnificent outfit, entered the office.
Annie looked at Emperor with some surprise. Every time she saw Zhao Chen before, he was usually wearing civilian clothes or the Xiaolong military uniform.
This was the first time she had seen Zhao Chen here, dressed in such a gorgeous outfit.
I must say, he really does have a dashing and heroic air about him.
If we wait a while, we can avoid increasing their production targets for the new year.
That would be even more handsome.
"Your Majesty," the two chief engineers said in unison, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) bowing.
Anne jumped to the ground first, and then obediently bowed.
Zhao Chen nodded: "Sit down. We're talking about industrial technology, so don't worry about these formalities."
In fact, Zhao Chen really disliked the very formal clothes he was wearing.
But there was nothing he could do; his identity was different now.
No matter where he is, he must be mindful of the image he projects to others.
Previously, he was just a lord, the commander of a legion fleet.
And now he is the strongest emperor in this universe.
"Yes." Spider Queen Elise, the chief engineer, was the first to sit down in the chair.
Chief Engineer Anne turned around, grabbed the chair with both hands, first leaned her upper body onto the chair, and then used gravity to climb onto the chair.
The whole process was quite comical.
Meanwhile, Chief Engineer Nana tapped the device on her wrist, and her body suddenly floated up before slowly landing on the chair.
There was none of the comical behavior that Chief Engineer Anne displayed.
“You...” Chief Engineer Annie looked at her sister’s composed demeanor.
"Floating shoes, are they that hard to make?" Chief Engineer Nana said casually.
Chief Engineer Anne was disappointed because she hadn't focused on that in private; she was completely preoccupied with how to enjoy eating and playing more.
"This year, our main manufacturing core will be upgraded from the T5 stage to the T6 technology stage."
Therefore, many new T6 technology weapons and equipment will need to be built.” Zhao Chen said, raising his arm as he spoke.
One by one, light and shadow were projected out.
The first thing is a huge 'interstellar city', with a very mechanical design.
Above the projection, there is text indicating its identity.
【T6 Steel Star City】
【Flagship T6 Dragon Emperor Starship Command Ship】
【T6 Seraphim Ballista-class Interstellar Long-Range Hunter】
【Flagship T6 Demon Emperor Carrier Starship】
【Flagship T6 Gluttonous Demon King Starship】
【T6 Supernova Ultimate Bomb】
【T6 Purple Gold Eden-class Starship】
【T6 Thunderlord-class Heavy Star Destroyer】
These eight T6 technologies are presented before your eyes.
Both Chief Engineer Nana and Chief Engineer Elise the Spider Queen had their eyes shining, as if they had seen some great treasure.
Chief Engineer Anne covered her face with her hands, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Wow... so many!
Are you trying to kill me?!
This class is really impossible to attend.
Zhao Chen began by giving a brief introduction to these new technological buildings.
"T6 Steel Star City is a major construction project that we needed to complete at the beginning of this year."
Because it can greatly accelerate our efficiency in building T6-class starships.
This is crucial.
"The Hades is currently undergoing upgrades and modifications."
Once the Hades's modification is complete, we can prepare to upgrade the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship.
It can also build two other flagships: the T6 Gluttonous Demon King starship and the T6 Demon Emperor carrier starship.
"The T6 Supernova Ultimate Bomb is also very important, although it is a one-time use weapon."
However, the effect is excellent, and we need to stockpile a certain quantity.
It's a crucial strategic necessity!
"T6 Purple Gold Eden-class starship, although it is an auxiliary interstellar warship."
We currently have a sufficient food supply.
However, considering that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has only just been established.
With the sudden expansion of our territory, we need to take care of more areas.
Especially the demon race.
Food is the best means of control.
Therefore, for the stability of the Dragon Star Empire, we need to greatly increase food production.
This seemingly insignificant T6 Purple Gold Eden-class starship will be of paramount importance at the very beginning of our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire!
Finally, these two mass-produced T6 starships.
The T6 Seraph Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunter and the T6 Thunder Lord-class heavy interstellar destroyer are also key to our efforts to enhance the combat power of the JF-17 Legion.
We need to build a certain number of T6 interstellar warships.
"These two interstellar warships, in particular, could play a very crucial role in future wars against the interstellar insectoids!" Zhao Chen said earnestly.
Of the seven technologies he presented, two had just been redeemed.
Those are the 【T6 Purple Gold Eden-class Starship】 and the 【T6 Thunder Lord-class Heavy Star Destroyer】, but to be precise, there should be three.
With the three redemption permissions that can be updated every quarter, Zhao Chen, with his abundant 'wallet', directly made the redemptions.
However, only two technologies were presented to the three chief engineers.
That's because the remaining technology is not suitable for demonstration.
"With these interstellar technologies, our Dragon Star Empire can rapidly increase its strength!" Chief Engineer Nana exclaimed excitedly.
She is now completely focused on the industrial construction of the Xiaolong Empire. Being able to build more interstellar warships and interstellar creations for the Xiaolong Empire and the Emperor is a very happy thing for her.
"Yes.
In order to increase the construction of the JF-17 Thunder, we must make overall plans.
"Because our time is of the essence right now!" Zhao Chen said seriously.
Three months from now, the machine race will completely withdraw from this universe.
At that time, the Dragon Empire will have to face all the crises in this universe on its own.
"Understood! What are your requirements?" Chief Engineer Nana asked earnestly.
Seeing how decisive Chief Engineer Nana was.
Zhao Chen got straight to the point and stated his requirements.
"First: the two flagship starships must be delivered before the middle of the year."
Although Chief Engineer Anne didn't say anything, she listened attentively.
Because ultimately, she will have to bear the consequences of these things.
"Second: I don't care about the expansion of industrial facilities below T5 level."
However, at least three T6 Steel Star City units must be delivered by mid-year.
"At least ten by the end of the year!"
Chief Engineer Anne swallowed hard.
"Third: You can't let up on the production of the Purple Gold Eden-class starships. I know there are many construction tasks, but you must ensure that important production tasks such as combat interstellar warships and the expansion of starship factories are not affected."
On average, at least ten T6 Purple Gold Eden-class starships need to be delivered to the Eden Food Trade Group each month.
At least 150 ships must be delivered by the end of the year!
Chief Engineer Anne shuddered, but the thought that this was a T6 Purple Gold Eden-class starship gave her some consolation.
This is so that we can eat better ingredients!
It was worth the effort.
"Fourth: At least ten of the two mass-produced T6 interstellar warships need to be built and delivered before March."
Within six months, the number should reach at least thirty ships.
Before the end of the year, the entire Xiaolong Legion must have one hundred T6 combat-type interstellar warships in active service.
If any other T6 interstellar warship construction technologies become available, I will inform you immediately so that you can join this production program.
One hundred T6 interstellar warships!
Anne instantly felt that her life for the next year would be bleak and hopeless.
"That's all for now," Zhao Chen said slowly.
temporary?
You call this temporary!
Explain to me properly what you mean by "that's all for now"!
Annie pointed at Zhao Chen's nose and shouted.
But this was just Anne's imagination; she sat there, frozen in place.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
We will coordinate and arrange these construction plans.
We guarantee that all production tasks will be completed on time and in the required quantity.
We will develop a comprehensive production plan for the next year within three days and present it to you for review.
Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, he added, "That's right."
Because we have taken over all of the Machine Race's territory.
Many of the construction and industrial facilities have been completely removed.
Therefore, we need a large number of interstellar transport ships, interstellar mining ships, and some industrial plants, etc.
These may also require your help in construction.
This includes not only the resumption of production in the Machine Race's territory, but also the industrial upgrading and transformation within the Angel Race's territory and the three major empires.
Anne was devastated.
'Are you never going to stop?'
Are you trying to kill us?!
"You couldn't stop me, so I'm going to fight you to the death!"
What's even more hateful is this time.
A confident voice came from beside me.
"Okay, none of these are problems."
Not a problem?
Anne turned her head in surprise to look at her dear sister beside her.
You said there was no problem without even thinking about it?
However, I have to admit that in one aspect, my younger sister is far inferior to me.
That is, she always manages to incorporate the construction tasks assigned by Zhao Chen into the production plan, and at the same time, she manages to complete them all!
This is something that Annie truly admires very much.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Zhao Chen looked at the three chief engineers.
Then, after giving a few simple instructions, he left.
"Waaaaah... I can't live like this anymore."
"This is impossible to live in." Annie collapsed to the ground, rolling around in agony.
Chief Engineer Nana looked at her sister, who was as listless as a salted fish, and without any hesitation, grabbed her by the collar and said, "Let's go, time to get to work."
"Nana, I'm breaking up with you!"
I'm severing all ties with you as sisters!
"If we're going to break off relations, let's finish this year's construction plan first."
"Wow wow wow... Nana! In your eyes, is your older sister more important, or are these construction plans more important?"
"Of course, the construction plans entrusted by His Majesty are more important."
“...o(╥﹏╥)o...”

Back to the bridge of the Dragon Emperor
Zhao Chen looked at the throne, then silently walked up and sat down.
The bridge of the Ryujin-class frigate underwent minor modifications.
This throne can be placed on the bridge.
The sofa that Zhao Chen used to be on was nowhere to be seen.
"Have you discussed it with the three chief engineers?" Lilith walked up to Zhao Chen and asked.
"Yes, everything has been discussed and agreed upon."
They will develop a construction plan within three days.
"Lilith, you need to calculate whether our current monthly resource output is sufficient to meet the needs of our industrial construction," Zhao Chen reminded her.
Lilith nodded and assured them, "I will definitely complete the statistics within three days, working with the three chief engineers."
To ensure the smooth progress of this year's construction plan.
At this moment, Charlotte walked over, followed by several legion marshals.
"Your Majesty." Several legion marshals bowed to Zhao Chen.
"No need for formalities," Zhao Chen said, though he still felt a little awkward as he said it.
"We discussed the military system construction plan for the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire."
A contingency plan has been basically developed.
"Please review this." Charlotte raised her hand, and an electronic screen appeared, displaying the general plan that she and her fellow veteran marshals had come up with.
Because it is now the JF-17 Interstellar Empire, not the JF-17 of the past.
At the same time, according to the agreement, the military and diplomatic powers of all interstellar territories under the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire must be handed over to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Therefore, the entire military system of the universe needs to be rebuilt.
"We have decided to develop a five-tier military system."
Tier 5 - Minor Lord Fleet
At the most basic level, they are mainly responsible for maintaining order in their respective territories. They are not allowed to leave their territory without orders, and the number of fleets they maintain needs to be approved by us.
Basically, this is the number of legion fleets that those interstellar powers already possess, and some adjustments can be made later.
Tier 4 - Grand Lord Fleet
This is based on the fleets of minor lords, such as the three great kingdoms, which have many territories under their jurisdiction, and those territories are the minor lords.
Queen Qin Xiaolei and others like her belong to the 'Great Lords' category, and their armies are renamed the Great Lord Fleet.
Its main function was to manage their respective large territories on their behalf.
Level 3...
