Chapter 1371: Chang’an City
Walk through the long corridor.
The first thing that catches the eye is a series of massive interstellar warships.
That's right, it's a starship!
It's not a hologram, but a real interstellar warship.
These interstellar warships are moored in their designated berths, and their hulls are clearly decorated, making them very attractive.
Meanwhile, there are several electronic displays at almost every angle, showing various information about this interstellar warship.
There's even a holographic intelligent assistant that conjures up humanoid figures of various races, introducing this interstellar warship to guests from all over the world.
"This interstellar warship is called the T4 Tyrant-class Heavy Interstellar Missile Battlecruiser."
He is still serving in the JF-17 Thunder Legion, holding an important position.
It is designed as a starship battlecruiser and is equipped with a certain number of star missiles in order to maximize firepower.
Its firepower is extremely strong, and due to the defensive capabilities of the heavy interstellar warship's hull armor, conventional firepower of the same level can hardly damage its hull armor.
..."
The sounds rose and fell, introducing various details to people in different locations who wanted to learn about this interstellar warship.
The other rows of interstellar warships were in essentially the same situation.
"Is this a starship for sale?" Madam Miao looked at the scene with some surprise.
Li Yaqi nodded appreciatively and said, "A very good marketing strategy."
These interstellar warships are already best-selling interstellar warships.
But many people are still undecided.
But now, these interstellar warships are being displayed to the public in this manner.
And in such an important occasion, in such a special place.
There will definitely be a lot of people who see that.
With such a large base, there will definitely be people who are tempted to buy.
However, I suggest placing more low-level JF-17 series interstellar warships.
Actually, I think we can now launch some civilian starships or technologies using the JF-17 Thunder.
For example, T1 to T3 level interstellar warships, interstellar cruise ships, shuttles, etc.
After all, for the vast majority of people in the lower and middle classes, the only spaceship they will ever come into contact with in their lifetime is a Tier 1 interstellar warship.
T4 interstellar warships like this are very far out of reach for them.
Although the profit per ship in this segment is not very high.
However, it's important to know that the entire universe now belongs to the Dragon Empire, and it even bears the Dragon brand.
Over time, these small profits add up to a staggering amount.
Furthermore, the Dragon Empire is currently developing at an extremely rapid pace, and a group of people will become wealthy. During this period, this will lead to the emergence of new forms of consumption.
Hearing what Li Yaqi said, Zhao Chen nodded in agreement and also praised Li Yaqi's vision for the future of business.
It's only been a short time, yet Li Yaqi has already seen future business opportunities.
This is what a true business genius is, and only such a person can grow into a business tycoon.
"I have made arrangements for everything you mentioned."
They will all be promoted in the future.
On the one hand, it can enrich the lives and consumption of the lower classes in the Dragon Empire; on the other hand, it can also slightly subsidize the Dragon Empire's fiscal expenditure through these consumptions.
Although the feedback from this area isn't a huge pie.
But something is better than nothing.
And as wars gradually subside, civilian consumption will gradually take center stage.
"We must lay the groundwork in advance," Zhao Chen said, revealing a plan he had already anticipated.
Although we are currently in the midst of multiple crises.
However, Zhao Chen still needs to plan the future development of the Xiaolong Empire.
We chatted as we walked through the exhibition area.
The view in front of me suddenly opened up a lot.
"Wow..." Mrs. Miao, who had seen many interstellar cities, was stunned by what she saw.
Before you is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, through which you can see the scenery inside.
That was a snow-covered city.
Inside, it was covered in snow, and you could see a large city standing there, with residential areas, commercial areas, squares, and flying cars speeding through the air.
"This is the urban cluster within Chang'an City."
Chang'an City contained twelve city clusters, each capable of accommodating at least 10 billion people.
And each city has a completely different style.
There are cities built to fit the human physique, districts built for winged races, giant city clusters built specifically for large interstellar races, and ocean city clusters that are 90% ocean.
"In short, any interstellar race in the universe can have a place to live here," Zhao Chen introduced the city of Chang'an.
At this moment, a hovercar had already stopped in front of Zhao Chen and the others.
Above them was a female soldier in military uniform who saluted Zhao Chen and then whispered, "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to come and fetch you."
No rush.
"Let's take them to their hotel first." Zhao Chen pointed to Li Yaqi, Li Wei, and the others beside him.
"yes."
The hovercar is very large and can accommodate more than a dozen people.
Therefore, it felt spacious when Zhao Chen and the others sat down inside.
Because it was a convertible, they could also enjoy the scenery as they passed by.
"Among the twelve city clusters, there are some distinctive buildings where you can discuss unique businesses."
For example, you can go to the ocean city cluster and negotiate some fishery trade with the interstellar traders there.
In short, these twelve city clusters are mainly focused on people's livelihood and interstellar trade.
But going inwards...
It leans towards politics.
It was also the inner city of Chang'an.
"I call it the 'Forbidden City'," Zhao Chen said, uttering the name.
"The Forbidden City?"
"Is this your imperial city?" Li Yaqi realized the special nature of the Forbidden City.
That's roughly the idea.
From now on, all announcements that need to be made to the public will be held in the Forbidden City.
"Most royal banquets held within the Xiaolong Galaxy are also held in the Forbidden City," Zhao Chen explained.
Li Yaqi nodded slightly, looking around at Chang'an City and the two city clusters located on either side of the waterway.
She now truly realized the special nature of Chang'an.
In the future, a single residency permit in these city clusters will be extremely valuable.
Any interstellar family or power within the Dragon Empire would spend a fortune to buy a property here and have the right to live here.
After all, this is the closest place to the Emperor of the Dragon.
Actually, there was something else Zhao Chen didn't say explicitly.
That was the design of the Forbidden City, which Zhao Chen had specifically added beforehand.
This can be considered a temporary modification.
There was originally an inner city.
But not the Forbidden City here.
Zhao Chen made some technological improvements to the Forbidden City here.
One of the advantages is that the Forbidden City allows for direct spatial teleportation.
Leaving Chang'an.
And it can also return to the interior of Chang'an City.
As the name suggests, Zhao Chen can carry the Forbidden City with him at any time.
It took a long time to traverse the city cluster.
How much longer until we arrive?
"This place is huge!" Li Wei said, swallowing hard.
"The hotel we've arranged for you is in the city cluster closest to the Forbidden City."
It takes about fifteen minutes to sail there.
However, quantum teleportation technology was actually installed in Chang'an City.
Once you reach the designated location and enter the portal, you can directly travel to another portal.
However, there is a limit to the number of times it can be used.
It requires a certain amount of resources.
This is the first time, to give you a tour.
"Next time, you can use this teleportation portal directly from the corridor on the side of the ship to reach the teleportation portal closest to the Forbidden City," Zhao Chen explained.
"Isn't this very dangerous?"
If someone wants to harm you.
In the blink of an eye, they had stormed in. For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Li Wei's mind.
Madam Miao secretly pinched her husband's waist from behind.
This guy really dares to say anything out loud.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said calmly, "This teleportation portal has limitations. Even with the necessary permissions, it can only reach locations within the city cluster closest to the Forbidden City."
Then I wanted to enter the Forbidden City.
You'll need to go through a special passageway or board a special interstellar mini-cruise ship.
Therefore, there's no need to worry too much about safety.
Li Wei forced himself to nod, suppressing his wife's affection.
soon.
The hovercar stopped outside a luxury hotel.
This is also a cluster of cities suitable for human habitation, with ordinary high mountains, forests, and lakes.
Just like most habitable planets.
"Then I'll leave you here."
"See you later." Zhao Chen watched Li Yaqi and the others get out of the car, said goodbye, and then took his leave.
The hovercar Zhao Chen was riding in has disappeared without a trace.
Li Yaqi remained standing in the same spot, her expression somewhat dazed.
Li Wei stretched out his hand, paused in front of his sister, and then said jokingly, "Sis."
His Majesty left a long time ago. If you really like him, just say so.
Now that he is the emperor of the Xiaolong Empire, it's normal for him to have several women.
How will you know if it will work out if you don't ask?
If it really works out.
Then I'd be Emperor Xiaolong's brother-in-law.
"That would be so impressive if word got out!"
After Li Wei finished speaking, he immediately took a step back.
He dodged Li Yaqi's punch that came flying at him.
Then, Li Yaqi, with a hint of shame and anger, glared at her younger brother: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
After saying that, Li Yaqi turned around and walked into the hotel.
"Xiao Miao, look at my sister."
He's incredibly daring when it comes to other things.
"But when it comes to relationships, he's so timid and hesitant, like a simp." Li Wei hugged his wife, shook his head, and said helplessly.
But the next second, Madam Miao pinched his ear and said with a half-smile, "You just said that it's perfectly normal for someone of His Majesty's status to have several women."
"So, our CEO Li, are you planning to raise a few little fairies?"
My ear hurts.
Li Wei immediately begged for mercy.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
My dear wife, I was referring to His Majesty.
I wouldn't dare do that.
"For me, Li Wei, having you as my precious wife is enough for the rest of my life."
"I know you wouldn't dare." Madam Miao glared at Li Wei.
Then, holding her daughter, she quickly caught up with Li Yaqi ahead.
Li Wei could only sigh and say helplessly, "This woman is really hard to please."
Especially those who are older and unmarried.
After saying that, Li Wei followed along eagerly.
...
New Year's Eve arrived in no time.
Almost every planet across the entire Imperial universe was celebrating.
Even on remote planets, if the population exceeds one hundred million, there are propaganda personnel from the Dragon Empire stationed there to oversee the situation.
First, there are holographic images and videos that float in the sky and can be clearly seen regardless of whether it is day or night.
In addition, the royal family of the Dragon Empire also granted a special grant.
People on all planets would hold a simple banquet in a certain square or other gathering place, and the food used would be provided by the Empire.
Although this is a very large number.
However, this portion of the food supply is more than sufficient for the current food industry of the Dragon Empire.
Furthermore, sponsorships are permitted in this regard.
Local wealthy landowners or lords could cover a portion of the cost themselves.
The propaganda department will project these people's names into the air and "spread the word widely."
As a result, many people offered their help early on.
After all, providing some food and a celebratory feast is nothing to these large families.
In some key star systems, fleets under the Wyvern Legion will also participate in parades.
This allows locals to see the formidable JF-17 fleet through a space telescope.
And at this very moment.
These folk banquets have already begun.
The first thing shown in the holographic image overhead is the magnificent scene of Chang'an.
Then the scenes of Chang'an City began to play little by little.
Seeing the beauty and prosperity of those city clusters
Many people cast envious glances at them.
As the scene shifts, a magnificent, yet menacing city soon appears before everyone.
That was located in the core area of Chang'an City, separated from the outer area by a ring of open space, and connected to it only by long corridors extending from all directions.
At this moment, large groups of people who had been invited to the banquet had already appeared in these corridors.
The banquet was held in the square inside the Forbidden City.
The scene follows these people as they gradually move into the Forbidden City.
The Forbidden City is even more solemn and magnificent. Although it contains a lot of expensive materials, for some reason, people feel from the bottom of their hearts that this is how the Forbidden City should be.
The word "luxury" didn't even cross my mind.
It wasn't just the people watching this scene from distant galaxies.
Even those who were invited to attend.
Entering the Forbidden City, one feels as if being pressed down by a giant mountain, solemn and awe-inspiring.
"This is the capital city of the Dragon Emperor?" a ten-winged angel exclaimed involuntarily. "This feels... much better than our Temple Mountain..."
Seemingly realizing he had said the wrong thing, the ten-winged angel immediately covered his mouth and looked at the Holy Angel King beside him.
"It is more majestic than our Temple Mount." The Holy Angel King did not hold back his praise.
