Medusa and Red Rose boarded such a luxurious and magnificent interstellar warship for the first time.

Although they had served on T3-class interstellar warships, compared to the T3 carrier starship before them, it was simply a product of a different era.

"Please." The female crew member leading them gestured for the two to enter the bridge.

Medusa and Red Rose were both somewhat surprised, as the bridge was considered a rather secretive part of an interstellar warship.

They had assumed that Commander Zhao Chen would summon them in a place like a conference room.

I never expected it to be on the bridge of this T3 carrier starship.

Medusa and Red Rose walked onto the bridge. Although it was not wartime, the various departments on the bridge still maintained a minimum level of crew to ensure that the interstellar warship could enter combat readiness at any time.

Medusa and Red Rose walked slowly to the captain's command platform. The captain's chair slowly turned to face them, and Zhao Chen was sitting on it.

"Please sit down." Zhao Chen raised his hand.

Two floating chairs appeared behind Medusa and Red Rose.

"I've summoned you both today mainly to discuss some matters with you." Zhao Chen looked at Medusa: "What's the situation in the Reef Starfield now?"

Medusa replied, "All the star systems in the Reef region are already under our control. We have supported a number of interstellar forces that are close to us to control these star systems."

Meanwhile, we are preparing to submit a neutrality application to the Galactic Alliance.

We've heard that the Warhammer Starfleet Union is condemning us, protesting and disapproving of our ambush of their starfleet.

However, because they are currently consuming the resources of other unclaimed star systems, they do not have sufficient military force to deal with us in the short term.

"Have you compiled statistics on the resource output of the Reef Starfield?" Zhao Chen asked.

Medusa replied, "After order is restored in the Reef Sector, the net profit from mining output and other taxes in various regions can reach ten billion star coins."

Ten billion Star Coins?

Zhao Chen frowned slightly; this was far too poor.

No wonder the Starry Empire and the Mechanical Race both looked down on this place before; it really was a barren wasteland.

The net profit of each star region of the Star Empire is dozens of times that of the Star Empire.

Zhao Chen paused for a moment, then looked at Medusa: "How many people are there in the Serpent People now? How many people are there in the Reef Starfield?"

Upon hearing Zhao Chen's question, Medusa paused for a moment, but still answered honestly: "If we include some snake-people subspecies, there are nearly three billion snake-people in the entire Reef Starfield."

The most recent population census in the Reef region showed a population of 170 billion.

The population is primarily composed of humans and orcs, with some other interstellar races also present.

"Medusa, I need you to do something for me."

I want to recruit soldiers in the Reef Starfield, with no limit on the number or race.

There are only two requirements: they must be female and meet the recruitment standards. Zhao Chen looked at Medusa.

The JF-17 Legion is now undergoing a major expansion, and manpower is a significant problem.

The Dragon Galaxy is no longer enough.

However, the Reef Starfield has a considerable pool of qualified soldiers, and because it has always been a place of conflict, its people are known for their fierce and warlike nature.

With a little training, many people can become excellent interstellar warship pilots.

As for the issue of loyalty?

Three meals a day, top-notch benefits.

Why worry about loyalty?

"No racial restrictions?" Medusa asked curiously.

Zhao Chen said, "There are no restrictions on race. If your Serpent People race has any outstanding female interstellar soldiers to recommend, I can accept them."

Zhao Chen's suggestion really appealed to Medusa.

The JF-17 Legion has now become the true controller of the Reef Sector.

Although Zhao Chen made many promises before, he has been keeping them all this time.

However, if some Serpent Race interstellar soldiers could be planted within the Dragon Legion, and if they could even rise to high-level management positions in the future, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to the Serpent Race.

“I will take care of this,” Medusa agreed.

How could Zhao Chen not have considered the little schemes Medusa might have?

Medusa wanted to place her confidants within the Dragon Legion, and Zhao Chen was also assimilating the Serpent People.

Those snake-man interstellar soldiers planted within the Wraith Dragon Legion, if they ultimately pledge allegiance to Zhao Chen, will be loyal to the Wraith Dragon Legion.

In the future, they can also completely control the snake people.

Zhao Chen looked at the red rose beside him: "Red Rose, your Thorn Group has always been engaged in interstellar smuggling trade."

You're very familiar with the hidden routes between the various empires within the Galactic Alliance, aren't you?

"Yes," Red Rose replied.

Zhao Chen continued, "I have some raw material resources that need to be transported to various interstellar forces, large and small, because their sources are quite special."

Therefore, I hope you can transport these raw materials back to the Lion King system as quickly as possible through covert means. Can you do that?

This is his specialty.

Red Rose was confident, but she was also cautious. She asked, "Can I know the volume and coordinates of the goods to be transported, and whether there are any time restrictions for transportation?"

Zhao Chen displayed the coordinates and approximate storage capacity that the little princess had previously told him on the star map; this was only a small part of the locations of the three hundred billion star coins of raw materials.

"These are the coordinates for now. There's no time limit, but the sooner the better, while ensuring safety and secrecy," Zhao Chen said.

Red Rose glanced at the locations where goods needed to be transported, and the shipping route she knew best immediately came to mind.

She then replied, "Transportation is not a problem, but the quantity of goods is quite large."

The largest batch of these you marked consists of raw materials worth 10 billion Star Dollars.

Without enough interstellar transport ships, it might be necessary to make several round trips.

Based on the T2 and T1 class interstellar transport ships currently equipped by our Thorn Group, this batch of raw materials worth 10 billion star coins alone will require at least three round trips, and is expected to take five months.

It would take five months to obtain the raw materials for 10 billion Star Coins.

It's important to know that Zhao Chen is bringing back raw materials worth a full 300 billion star coins.

Although Qin Xiaolei said that part of it was cash flow, Zhao Chen had already asked her to find a way to convert that cash flow into raw materials. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

What he needs now is raw materials!

“I can provide you with an interstellar transport ship.” Zhao Chen raised his hand, displaying a holographic projection of an interstellar transport ship and a brief introduction to its performance.

I looked closely at the red rose.

【T3 Great White Whale-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ship】

Red Rose carefully examined its performance specifications and was immediately stunned.

Its transport capacity is twice that of the largest T3 interstellar transport ship in the current Star Empire, and its normal speed is also far superior. It also comes with its own loading and unloading robots, which can greatly increase loading and unloading efficiency.

Furthermore, the interstellar transport ship has a massive energy storage capacity, ensuring that it can travel long distances without needing to stop for resupply.

One of these T3 Beluga Whales is equivalent to one hundred of her most advanced T2 interstellar transport ships!

"I will arrange thirty of these T3 Beluga Whales for you then, and if that's not enough, I can add more."

"As long as you complete all the transport missions I assign, all these interstellar transport ships will be yours." Zhao Chen smiled at Red Rose.

His smile held a deeper meaning.

Red Rose's eyes lit up as she said, "If we had this interstellar transport ship, I could deliver 10 billion star coins worth of raw materials back to you in just one month!"
