Chapter 1336: Hotpot Conference
"We have now built and put into service the second batch of five T6 Steel Star Cities, including the first batch."
A total of eight T6 Steel Star Cities have been put into use.
Furthermore, the construction plan for the third batch of T6 Steel Star Cities is currently underway, with a total of twelve cities to be built, and the construction period is five to six months.
In addition, the fourth phase of the T6 Steel Star City construction project is also in the planning stage.
After the completion of the third phase of construction, we will begin the fourth phase of construction.
In the fourth phase, we will build thirty T6 Steel Star Cities in one go.
The construction period is also within six months.
In this way, we can ensure that our Dragon Empire has fifty active T6 Steel Star Cities.
This marks the true beginning of the T6 technology era.
"It's not just that we can build things with T6 technology, but we don't have enough production capacity," Chief Engineer Nana explained.
Zhao Chen ate a pile of beef rolls he had picked up from a strainer, completely ignoring Annie across from him, whose chopsticks were frozen in mid-air, looking at him with a pitiful expression.
"That is indeed the case."
Our current capacity to mass-produce T6-class starships is insufficient, let alone the future production capacity of T7-class starships.
Producing T7-class interstellar warships?
Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Chief Engineer Nana felt a jolt in her mind.
Having personally experienced the power of T6 technology, she herself found it difficult to imagine what kind of technology a T7 interstellar warship would require.
"In addition, our other low- and mid-level technology industries..." Chief Engineer Nana was also about to introduce some related industries.
Zhao Chen interrupted him: "There's no need to go into detail about these things, just show me the relevant data."
"Yes." Chief Engineer Nana immediately pulled up all the industrial data.
This data table includes not only the military-related industrial capabilities of the JF-17 Thunder, but also the civilian-oriented industrial capabilities of companies like the Beiyan Group.
There is even industrial data for the various kingdoms and territories below.
These detailed industrial data are available.
Whenever needed, the Dragon Empire can mobilize all these industrial capacities immediately.
"Very good." Zhao Chen was very satisfied with what he saw.
The Xiaolong Empire has made steady progress step by step.
So basically there aren't any major problems.
"The technologies I handed over to you before I left."
"Have you all taken care of things?" Zhao Chen asked Chief Engineer Nana.
Before the previous battle against the Order Zerg, Zhao Chen had given some technology to the chief engineers so that they could carry out production and manufacturing.
The T6 Emerald Dream-class interstellar warship, which saved a large number of JF-17 interstellar warships in the final explosion, was one such technology.
This was mainly because it was on the eve of a major war.
Zhao Chen didn't want to instruct them to increase these construction projects, but he still asked them to find a way to build these T6 Emerald Dream-class interstellar warships, which might be useful on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.
Later, when Zhao Chen encountered that disaster and knew there was no way to avoid it...
He quickly redeemed the last three T6 technologies from the system and transferred them back to the JF-17.
At that moment, Zhao Chen wasn't thinking about what he should say.
Instead, he thought that if something were to happen to him, it would be a good thing to leave the JF-17 with some life-saving technology.
Speaking of those technologies.
Chief Engineer Nana's eyes lit up.
She first raised her hand and opened a very large electronic window that appeared on the entire desktop, even covering the bodies of Zhao Chen and the others.
thud
This startled Annie so much that she dropped the lamb leg she was holding. She pouted and looked at her sister with a hint of reproach.
But he could only obediently cook another lamb leg himself.
"This is the T6 space dynamic monitoring instrument that you gave to us to manufacture."
It has been completed and is in use.
Currently, the main station for this device is located somewhere in our Xiaolong star system, and there is a dedicated military garrison responsible for guarding it, which is designated as an S-level military restricted area.
In addition, thirty enhanced substations were set up in various parts of the universe.
While the main station can monitor the entire universe, it is somewhat slow. With these substations that enhance performance, this efficiency can be greatly increased.
In this way, any spatial anomalies in any location in this universe will be right under our noses.
This includes identifying which locations in space contain stargates, and where interstellar warships are performing space jumps or space jumps.
"We have everything clearly understood here." Nana introduced the huge blueprint.
Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.
That was why he valued this technology in the first place.
With this technology, he could control every move in the universe, but of course, this wasn't for dealing with the forces within the universe.
We don't need these to deal with them.
This is primarily intended for use against enemies from outside the universe.
"This has great strategic value for us."
"Although it's not combat equipment, on the battlefield, sometimes being able to deploy it in advance can give us a sure chance of victory," Zhao Chen said approvingly.
Chief Engineer Nana then began introducing the next technology: "The first five T6 God Palace-class interstellar complexes are nearing completion."
They were distributed across five different locations.
As he spoke, holographic images of five magnificent fortresses appeared on the cosmic map.
Zhao Chen naturally remembered this technology.
This technology overlaps with the existing T6 Angel City Fortress technology in some aspects.
But on second thought, isn't this a kind of complementarity?
T6 Divine Palace-class interstellar complex.
Actually, this isn't a very formal name. In its descriptions, it has many names, such as T6 God Palace-class Super Stargate, God Palace-class Super Starport, and so on.
Because it does indeed possess these properties.
It is a multi-functional, integrated interstellar building.
It is extremely large, exceeding the size of ordinary planetary units.
It can simultaneously function as a large-scale Star Alliance, a large-scale Starport, a large-scale Fortress, and a large-scale Space Station.
It could even be considered a habitable planet.
Zhao Chen sees this as a potential anchor for the Xiaolong Empire, a key strategic point to be placed throughout the universe, serving as the base for the empire's fleets in various locations.
It is a sword hanging over the heads of lords and governors everywhere.
One of these, a divine palace-level interstellar complex located in the Xiaolong system, will become the workplace of the new Xiaolong Empire's administrative departments.
"In addition, Lady Lilith inquired about it."
Should these five interstellar complexes, which are equivalent to divine palaces, be named?
After all, they are so huge, just like planets.
"Each of these spacecraft can accommodate hundreds of thousands of interstellar warships, and the population they can support is in the hundreds of billions," Chief Engineer Nana asked Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment, then pointed to the god-palace-level interstellar complex located in the Xiaolong star system and said, "Let's call this Chang'an City."
Chang'an City.
This is a dazzling and magnificent city in Zhao Chen's compiled memories.
Although Zhao Chen knew that it was a fabricated memory, it had become an indelible part of his mind.
Since I can't forget it, I'll just ignore it.
Let's leave a lasting mark on this universe.
"The remaining four cities will be handed over to Luoyang, Jinling, Kaifeng, and Yanjing respectively."
"As for what happens next, we can let the top management of JF-17 vote on it," Zhao Chen said.
"Okay." Chief Engineer Nana made a note of it.
After that, Chang'an became the most prosperous place in the Xiaolong Empire.
If the Xiaolong Galaxy is a crown, then Chang'an City is the most dazzling jewel in that crown.
Furthermore, in the most prominent locations in these cities, there are incredibly huge gold-lettered signs.
'Chang'an City'
These prestigious signs have become popular spots for people to visit and take photos during their interstellar travels.
Even though more and more interstellar cities like this have emerged since then, the original five cities have always possessed a unique charm.
It is said that the names of the five cities were chosen by the first emperor.
"In addition, you have given us three combat-type T6 starships."
They are all currently in production, and several batches have already been put into use. Chief Engineer Nana raised her hand, and holographic images of the three interstellar warships appeared before everyone.
The smallest one is a star cruiser.
【T6 Wind Elf-class Light Star Cruiser】
Next up is a starship whose type you can tell just by looking at its appearance.
【T6 Holy Blood Hellsangel-class Heavy Interstellar Strategic Missile Ship】
Finally, there is a super-massive interstellar warship.
【T6 Queen of the Gods-class super-heavy aircraft carrier starship】
These three combat-type interstellar warships are the T6 technology that Zhao Chen explained to them at the end.
"The performance and combat capabilities of these three interstellar warships have been highly praised by the generals."
Especially the T6 Holy Blood Hell Angel-class heavy interplanetary strategic missile ship.
This interstellar missile ship greatly enhances the firepower output capability of our JF-17 Legion.
This completely gave our JF-17 Legion the high-intensity firepower output capability at the T6 level.
However...” Chief Engineer Nana almost burst out laughing as she said this.
Zhao Chen asked curiously, "But what?"
"But General Snow White, the wolf girl, has been grumbling about this ever since she received the interstellar warship."
We gave her such a great interstellar warship, but there isn't a single opponent in the universe that she can use.
This time, it's not easy to catch up with this wave of blindly emerging angelic rebels; maybe there will be a chance for Liang Liang to shine.
But unexpectedly, he chickened out in the end.
I reckon General Snow White is probably fuming right now on the lead ship of her T6 Holy Blood Hellsangel-class heavy interstellar strategic missile ship.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
Nana's guess was probably quite accurate.
If it weren't for this equipment, that wolf girl Snow White might not be so tempted.
But now that such good equipment is in front of her, if you don't let her have a good fight, she'll feel uncomfortable all over.
"No rush, there will be a time when it comes in handy," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Chief Engineer Nana concluded, "So far, we've almost fully assembled the technological capabilities for the T6 combat interstellar warship segment of our Dragon Empire."
The only missing pieces are the T6-class starships and star frigates, which are actually two.
Everything else is a minor issue.
Because the T6 interstellar battleship was delayed in its development and construction, General Xue Xiaoxiao stared intently at me every time we met.
"But there's nothing I can do about it." Chief Engineer Nana shrugged helplessly.
Just thinking about Xue Xiaoxiao's obsession with interstellar battleships, Zhao Chen knew without a doubt what kind of expression she would have.
Come to think of it, I once promised her that I would definitely get her a T6-class starship.
It's about time I fulfilled my promise.
Zhao Chen took out two USB drives and gave them to Chief Engineer Nana.
"I've already prepared this place."
These are the T6 Purple Gold Silver Dragon-class heavy interstellar battleship and the T6 White Jade Black Tortoise-class heavy interstellar strategic frigate, respectively. "Zhao Chen explained.
Elise, the Spider Queen, who had been listening quietly and occasionally eating, made her first move and looked eagerly in their direction.
Unlike Chief Engineer Nana, she enjoys her work, but she doesn't particularly like these reporting sessions.
So she had just been listening from the side the whole time.
But now that two new T6 technologies have appeared, Spider Queen Elise's nerves jolted, and she immediately took notice and began to study the technologies recorded on the two USB drives that Zhao Chen had handed her.
Annie, the chief engineer who was eating, felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
Well, I guess I'll have to work overtime again when I get back.
This made Chief Engineer Annie look at Zhao Chen with some resentment. Sure enough, he was still that heartless boss. As soon as he came back, he exposed his nature of exploiting his employees.
Before long, they started assigning new construction tasks.
Thinking back to the past six months, Annie had lost count of how many brain cells she had starved to death in order to quickly mass-produce those new technologies.
snort.
Let's take advantage of this time and make up for it later.
Thinking about it, Annie slurped up several more giant oysters, each one as big as a washbasin, with incredibly fresh and delicious meat.
"We need to get these two interstellar warships into the family of our Dragon Legion fleet as soon as possible."
"To complete the formation of our legion fleet." Zhao Chen looked at Chief Engineer Nana.
This kind of planning can only be entrusted to Chief Engineer Nana. If it were entrusted to Chief Engineer Annie, who knows when it would take.
"Don't worry."
We now have enough T6 Iron Star Cities to ensure that we can produce the first batch of these two T6 starships in the shortest possible time, and accelerate the production speed of subsequent batches of these two starships.
"Let's fill the gap in our legion's fleet in this area!" Chief Engineer Nana said confidently.
Zhao Chen was relieved.
beep beep beep
Just then, flames began to flicker on the data template in front of Chief Engineer Nana.
"Holy crap." Chief Engineer Annie dropped a piece of oyster meat from her chopsticks onto the ground, feeling as if her heart had shattered along with it.
