First, building this T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought requires at least a T4-class interstellar industrial ship to undertake the construction.

It will require at least three trillion Star Coins, or three trillion Star Coins, of raw material resources.

This number made Zhao Chen's heart tremble.

This is truly a super warship that would require the combined resources of an entire nation to build.

To date, the most expensive T4 Reborn-class clone starship Zhao Chen has ever built cost only 10 billion.

It's easy to imagine how expensive this T5 Hades is.

Furthermore, it's important to know that one of the core devices was directly provided by the system, and we still don't know how much it cost.

“Three trillion star coins...” Zhao Chen scratched his head.

Alright, let's not even talk about the T4 interstellar industrial ship. Just the construction cost of three trillion star coins is something Zhao Chen can't handle right now.

"It seems that the technology for the T5 Hades will have to be shelved for the time being," Zhao Chen said with some helplessness.

He was eager to see just how powerful and different this T5-class interstellar warship really was.

However, our current capabilities are limited.

Zhao Chen glanced at his system page.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was incredibly wealthy!

"Lilith, contact Princess Qin Xiaolei. Tell her that the first batch of three thousand interstellar warships can be delivered to her princess legion before the end of this year," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"yes."

In less than an hour.

Qin Xiaolei and Zhao Ruyue then came to Zhao Chen.

"Three thousand interstellar warships can be delivered in such a short time?" Zhao Ruyue looked at Zhao Chen with some surprise.

Zhao Chen raised his hand and pointed directly at a group of interstellar warships sailing in the holographic projection of the starry sky in front of him.

Those were all interstellar warships of the Dragon Legion.

They were densely packed together, and their number definitely exceeded three thousand!

However, the vast majority of them are T2-class interstellar warships.

"We are still missing some things, after all, there is still some time before the end of the year."

"By next year, the production of these interstellar warships will increase significantly, and on average, we may be able to deliver the equivalent of a legion's fleet every month," Zhao Chen explained.

Zhao Ruyue looked at her younger brother in surprise. She really didn't expect that her brother would have such a terrifying interstellar warship manufacturing industry.

It also stated that a legion fleet of 3,000 interstellar warships could be delivered in a single month next year.

"I notified you in advance so that you could prepare the crew for the handover."

"These interstellar warships will now be temporarily under the command of my crew for sea trials," Zhao Chen said.

"I'll make arrangements as soon as I get back!" Zhao Ruyue nodded.

With Zhao Chen's permission, the Princess Legion has begun recruiting soldiers in the Reef Starfield.

Although the benefits and treatment of the Falcon Legion are undoubtedly better, who would want to leave the Falcon Legion and go to the Princess Legion instead?

The problem is that the recruitment requirements for the JF-17 Legion are stringent, and they only accept women.

Under this requirement, the Princess Legion will not care about gender, and the requirements for new recruits will be lowered by several levels.

It's simply a matter of recruiting the new recruits eliminated by the Dragon Legion into the Princess Legion.

Although not elite, they were more than capable of operating these T2-class starships.

"What's the current situation on the Empire's side?" Qin Xiaolei asked Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen said, "In recent months, the princes' faction in the empire has been very quiet. After all, they have only just begun to interfere in politics and seize power, and they dare not make too much noise."

If you incur public wrath, even if you're considered a member of the princes' faction, it will take a lot of effort to clean up the mess.

Your mother and Governor Chu Changhe are both safe.

Their communication with the outside world remained uninterrupted, although they might be under surveillance.

But at least, Governor Chu Changhe communicated with his granddaughter, Chu Xuan, every day.

Hearing this, Qin Xiaolei felt much more at ease.

Zhao Ruyue comforted the princess: "Your Highness, what we need to do now is lie low and wait for the time to take our revenge."

Qin Xiaolei nodded and said firmly, "Yes! I will definitely take revenge!"

Qin Xiaolei turned to Zhao Chen and said, "You have already delivered the first batch of interstellar warships. I will give you the remaining balance and the deposit."

You can simply send a fleet of transport ships to take over.

"Okay." Zhao Chen replied with a broad smile.

After a brief chat, the two women left.

Zhao Chen, on the other hand, was in a good mood. The deposit and final payment for the three thousand interstellar warships would amount to 10 billion star coins.

The construction cost, however, is only one billion Star Coins.

We've made a fortune!

The most important thing is that I supported the princess's army, so that I can use them to fight for myself later.

Thinking about his moves, Zhao Chen was naturally in a good mood.

"Our fleet has just expanded to over three thousand ships, and we're already selling most of our interstellar warships to the Princess Legion?" General Charlotte asked with some doubt.

Zhao Chen nodded and said casually, "After all, no matter how many T2 interstellar warships there are, they are still just T2 interstellar warships. I rushed to produce this batch of interstellar warships before the end of the year just to stockpile raw material resources."

In the future, we will be mass-producing T3 and T4 starships.

Our strategy is to build an elite fleet capable of taking on a hundred enemies single-handedly.

Charlotte nodded in understanding, though she was somewhat reluctant to part with such a massive interstellar fleet.

But imagine, in the future she could command an interstellar legion composed entirely of T3 interstellar warships and a small number of T4 interstellar warships.

It's estimated that even if there were 100,000 Imperial fleets in front of her, she wouldn't even blink.

Zhao Chen's lips curled up slightly. In fact, all his actions were to complete the system's annual task.

First, expand the fleet by building a batch of T2 interstellar warships, increasing the fleet size to over three thousand ships.

Claim your annual task rewards.

They then sold these hastily manufactured T2 starships to the Princess Legion.

In this way, the annual mission was completed, and the princess's starship order was also fulfilled.

A win-win situation.

Since he'd already claimed the system's task rewards, why would he expect Zhao Chen to give them back?

Your year-end mission states that you have 3,000 existing interstellar warships, but it doesn't say that I can't sell interstellar warships after completing the mission.

Zhao Chen revealed a mischievous smile.

If the system were a person, it would definitely be pointing its finger at Zhao Chen and cursing him for being a jerk. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Lilith, make the arrangements. Let's go and visit our model workers." Zhao Chen stretched.
