Chapter 1356: Complete T
Annie looked at Nana in front of her like a mouse seeing a cat.
Since my younger sister started working in the same position as me, she was quite well-behaved and cute at first.
But over time, she has now become 'Evil BOOS's' most loyal follower.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?" Nana's expression was completely different when she looked at Zhao Chen.
Respect, admiration.
Zhao Chen opened another data document, which showed a holographic image of an interstellar warship.
"These are the data blueprints for the T6-class Shadow Ghost-class medium-sized interstellar stealth bomber."
Take it back and take a close look, and arrange the relevant production plan as soon as possible.
We still have a significant shortage of T6-class interstellar warships.
The Shadow Hunters' elite fleet performed well in this campaign, but due to the lack of T6-class starships, it suffered considerable losses during the operation.
My sister even sent me a text message.
"I must develop a T6-class interstellar stealth bomber as quickly as possible." The thought of his sister's threatening words...
Zhao Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yes." Chief Engineer Nana immediately put away the data blueprints for the interstellar stealth bomber.
"I will also add some technical blueprints for T6-class starships later."
Examples include interstellar supply ships, interstellar transport ships, and interstellar reconnaissance ships.
I'll have my assistant Nicole deliver it to you then.
"It won't trouble you to make another trip," Zhao Chen said.
"Yes," Chief Engineer Nana replied.
Nicole's assistant was somewhat surprised; it was T6-level interstellar warship technology.
This would be a top-secret message anywhere else, yet she was entrusted with its delivery.
His Majesty has such great trust in me.
This left Nicole's assistant with an indescribable feeling.
Furthermore, His Majesty's words implied that he already had a plan in mind for these T6-level starship technologies.
What an amazing talent!
However, there has been controversy before this. His Majesty has never stayed in places related to industrial research institutes for long, so why is he always able to produce these interstellar warship technology blueprints one after another?
Does His Majesty have other top-secret research teams?
However, the chief engineer, Anne, and others were all here.
It just doesn't make sense.
This has always been an unsolved mystery within the Dragon Empire.
Feeling the eager gaze of Chief Engineer Nana and the admiring look of Assistant Nicole, Zhao Chen didn't offer any further explanation.
In fact, all of these T6-level technologies were handed over to me before the system disappeared.
When he first returned, Zhao Chen only had time to produce those few important combat-type interstellar warship technologies.
Then came dealing with various matters: internal strife within the empire and the invasion of the Dark Legion fleet.
Now I finally have some time to stop and relax.
Only then did he have the time to record the technology of those interstellar warships.
"After completing the work to fill in the gaps in T6 level technology."
I plan to conduct research and make breakthroughs in T7-level technology.
At that time, I may need Chief Engineer Anne's cooperation.
Therefore, she might need to trouble Chief Engineers Nana and Elise to take over some of her oversight work in other areas,” Zhao Chen said.
"You want to design and research this yourself?" Chief Engineer Nana looked at His Majesty in surprise.
"Yes.
As long as nothing else happens within the empire, then...
I will stay here.
Look, I've knocked down all the windows in the office.
"It will make things easier for Annie and me to work." Zhao Chen pointed to the office, where the walls were no longer visible.
Nana then realized that this office was indeed more spacious than a regular office.
Annie cast a resentful glance from afar.
“That’s really a good idea.” Chief Engineer Nana nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, she added, “Then I might as well knock down the wall of the office next door as well.”
"Shall I move in?"
Upon hearing this, Annie shuddered.
Their eyes were filled with fear.
It's fine if Zhao Chen is here.
If Nana comes here again, then my good days are completely over.
Annie held her head in her hands, as if she could see two dark figures staring intently at her.
"That's not necessary."
Our roles are somewhat different.
Your main responsibility is to oversee our production plan.
"It needs to be at the front line of the production line, and also in the main control room," Zhao Chen said.
Chief Engineer Nana nodded: "That's true."
After saying that, Chief Engineer Nana expressed some regret.
It seems that she also hopes to conduct research on T7 technology with His Majesty the Emperor.
"If I need anything at that time, I'll call you over to help," Zhao Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Chief Engineer Nana happily exclaimed, "Great!"
"Your Majesty, please give the order when the time comes, and I will be there at your beck and call!"
Next, Chief Engineer Nana returned to her post.
Zhao Chen and Annie naturally continued with their work.
After a long day at work, Annie looked completely lost and listless.
However, among these disadvantages, there is one advantage.
"This, this, and this."
"I want them all!" Annie seemed to be venting her frustration, ordering almost every dish on the menu.
Finally, she sat there pouting, arms crossed, looking fierce.
Zhao Chen looked at Nicole, the angel assistant who was silent and somewhat restrained, and said, "Nicole, what would you like to eat?"
Don't be so polite with me.
"Only when we're well-fed will we have the energy to work and do research."
"Um... actually, my salary subsidy..." Angel assistant Nicole was still a little embarrassed.
Zhao Chen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, don't think too much about it."
Furthermore, I've made you my assistant part-time, which has increased your workload.
It's just a matter of a few meals, nothing to worry about.
You order.
Anne, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "Nicole, don't be so polite with our Emperor."
This is His Majesty the Emperor of our Empire!
Order whatever you want to eat.
This is good; I recommend you order one.
And this is the most expensive one.
We have a saying: when it comes to food, we don't seek the best, but the most expensive!
One order, please!
Nicole, the angel's assistant, stared wide-eyed at the food that Chief Engineer Anne had helped her order.
The value of those meals was roughly equivalent to the cost of my usual food orders for half a month.
She looked somewhat awkwardly at His Majesty the Emperor opposite her.
"It's nothing, that's all."
"As long as we can finish it and don't waste any, that's fine," Zhao Chen said nonchalantly.
Zhao Chen could naturally see through Annie's "revenge spending."
He didn't seem to care.
After all, if you ask someone to do work, you have to give them some benefits, right?
Therefore, Zhao Chen generously allowed Annie to vent her stress here.
Soon, a feast was presented to the three of them.
While Nicole, the angel's assistant, was still standing there awkwardly.
Chief Engineer Anne was already using both hands to stuff delicious food into her mouth, as if she were eating not delicacies, but the flesh and blood of the enemy.
Don't be so polite.
"We're just here to eat, there aren't so many rules." Zhao Chen picked up his chopsticks, looked at Nicole, his angel assistant who hadn't yet started eating, and said with a smile.
"Yes." Angel assistant Nicole immediately sat up straight and began to eat.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen could only smile helplessly and say nothing more.
In this situation, no amount of talking will help; we can only wait for Nicole to get used to it herself.
The meal was quickly enjoyed.
Anne patted her belly, looking like she wanted more.
"Go back and get some rest. Don't just focus on playing games and watching TV shows."
"Don't be late for work tomorrow morning." After swiping his card, Zhao Chen looked at Annie, who had regained her radiance, and reminded her.
Annie pouted.
Although I was very annoyed with this boss, I didn't hate him as much because he treated Annie to so many delicious meals.
After that, did he pay for all the meals every day?
With the money left over from her salary, Annie can buy more of the things she likes.
Anne's eyes lit up; she had finally found a glimmer of benefit in Zhao Chen's move into the Imperial Military Research Institute.
...
Zhao Chen went to his bedroom.
This bedroom meets the basic single bedroom standard for a chief engineer, although it cannot compare to the luxurious bedroom he has on the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship.
But that's more than enough.
Zhao Chen walked into the house.
The door closed automatically.
Zhao Chen took off his coat and tossed it to the maid robot next to him.
"Make some hot water, I'm going to take a bath later." Zhao Chen walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of chilled wine, opened the cap and took a swig.
At that moment, the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.
"Master, High Secretary Lilith has scheduled a video call with you."
The maid robot spoke from the side.
"I see.
"Call them." Zhao Chen took off his clothes and lay down in the bathtub.
Enjoying the feeling of hot water filling your entire body.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
Although it only involves using one's brain, this kind of mental activity is what's making Zhao Chen feel tired right now.
He had to personally draw up every technical blueprint for a T6-class interstellar warship that was in his mind.
Those were all extremely difficult tasks.
"His Majesty......"
Lilith's voice came to my ears.
Zhao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the video window in front of him.
On the other side of the video window was Lilith, who also noticed the unusual situation on Zhao Chen's side.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she continued, "Is Your Majesty taking a bath?"
"How about I report to you after His Majesty has finished?"
"fine.
Let's report it here.
"Anyway, it's not like you haven't seen it before." Zhao Chen's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Lilith across from him.
Upon hearing this, Lilith glanced at the figure that was faintly visible in the mist on the other side, rolled her eyes at Zhao Chen, and suppressed the fire in her abdomen.
This guy knew perfectly well that he had deliberately kept his distance from Zhao Chen during this time in order to ensure the health of the child in his womb and avoid doing anything in that regard.
She was clearly suffering so much, yet he kept provoking her!
After I finish unloading the cargo, I'm determined to get back everything I owe them during this time.
Take a deep breath.
Lilith composed herself and then said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you about the results of this battle."
Zhao Chen's smile faded: "Go ahead and speak."
"The total number of the Dark Legion fleet dispatched by the Order this time exceeds fifty million ships!"
Approximately 60 million ships.
This includes 153 near-T7 black interstellar warships.
The aforementioned enemy's Dark Legion interstellar warships were completely destroyed by us during this invasion.
After a pause, Lilith continued, "In this battle..."
We have consumed a large amount of strategic resources, and it is estimated that it will take three months of total production to make up for this expenditure.
In addition, our elite fleet and the Imperial fleet have lost a total of more than 100,000 interstellar warships. Another 50,000 interstellar warships were damaged to an excessive degree and, after evaluation, no longer meet our Imperial interstellar warship service standards. They will be recycled or sold to foreign entities.
In addition, the Sentinel Fleet deployed five million starships in this battle, with nearly half a million starships lost on the battlefield and another 300,000 starships severely damaged and likely to be phased out.
The major and minor lord fleets lost nearly one million interstellar warships in this battle.
Excluding our Dragon Empire's direct fleet, due to a certain technology that allows for revival.
The remaining casualties totaled over five billion combatants.
Hearing the number of people who sacrificed their lives.
Zhao Chen closed his eyes.
Although most of those who died were from the fleets of lords in various regions.
But since they are now all people of the Xiaolong Empire, they can be considered to have died for the Xiaolong Empire.
Unfortunately, Zhao Chen's advanced technology couldn't include these people in the resurrection.
At least with current technology, it is impossible to do.
"The compensation for those who died in the line of duty was to be implemented by all the lords, large and small, in accordance with the regulations."
"Regarding their subsidies, we can compensate them for the lost interstellar warships at a preferential price," Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.
“Yes.” Lilith nodded.
"In addition, there are losses among the general public."
During this invasion by the Dark Legion fleet, there are records of over 3,500 civilian interstellar warships being attacked and destroyed.
There are also seven small starports and thirty-eight planetary space stations.
And the surfaces of five planets were invaded.
One of the planets was severely damaged, with one-third of its landmass destroyed and heavy casualties. We have dispatched a medical ship to provide assistance immediately.
According to our records.
In this battle, the number of non-combatants, that is, civilians, who sacrificed their lives reached 20 billion.
Regarding the extent of property damage suffered by civilians, statistics are still being compiled.
After listening to these data points one by one.
Zhao Chen submerged his head in the water.
He didn't get up until half a minute later.
The water flowed down Zhao Chen's body.
"The disruption of order has cost us more than 20 billion people."
Hehehe.
We will keep track of these expenses.
We will resume our production as soon as possible, and at the same time, we will provide resettlement for the planets that have been affected by the disaster.
..."
After Zhao Chen explained a series of tasks, the communication ended there.
Meanwhile, Lilith touched her nose and looked at the smear of blood.
She stared resentfully at the dark communication panel.
Wait!
Next time, you'll pay for your crimes in blood!
