Dragon Galaxy

Zhao Chen naturally saw the message posted by Chu Changhe.

"Looks like this old man was prepared all along," Zhao Chen chuckled.

At this moment, Secretary Lilith walked to Zhao Chen's side: "The battle report on the rapid annihilation battle we fought when we rescued Governor Chu has been released."

Would you like to take a look?

"Just give me the key information," Zhao Chen said.

Lilith began to explain: "This campaign, including the rescue operation itself, cost a total of 24 billion Star Coins."

This included thirty T3 Judgement-class heavy interstellar missile ships, three rounds of interstellar missile bombardments, and a consumption of 18 billion star coins.

No of our starships were lost; only thirteen T3-class interstellar warships were severely damaged, and one hundred and twenty-three were lightly or moderately damaged.

The casualties were mainly caused by interstellar fighter pilots, with 39 people tragically losing their lives.

In this battle, 13,000 enemy interstellar warships were destroyed, including five T4-class interstellar warships and nearly 500 T3-class interstellar warships.

The estimated number of enemy casualties is over seven million.

According to our intelligence, the casualties included two three-star lieutenant generals, seven two-star major generals, and twenty-six one-star brigadier generals.

"As expected of the Imperial Capital Star System, out of more than 10,000 interstellar warships, they managed to kill more than 30 generals," Zhao Chen joked.

The legion fleet in the Imperial Capital Star System is inherently the safest.

Many powerful and influential people naturally liked to place their children here to build up their resumes, which also made it a place where generals gathered.

The vast majority of them were cultivated by the princes in recent years, but their abilities are largely questionable.

"Because this battle lasted for an hour, the main attack method used was interstellar missiles, to deliver the fastest and strongest attack to the enemy," Lilith emphasized in her explanation of the use of interstellar missiles.

It's worth noting that when the Third Prince's fleet of 20,000 interstellar warships was annihilated, the cost of interstellar missiles was only 12 billion star coins.

“I understand that; I was the one who agreed to Charlotte doing it back then.”

We must make our voice heard by the other powerful and influential factions in the Starshine Empire, so they clearly realize that the Princes' Party is not without rivals, and that our Dragon Legion and the Chu family are fully capable of going toe-to-toe with them.

Zhao Chen rested his chin on his hand and smiled lightly, "It's a pity there wasn't enough time back then. If we could have had a match with the royal army, the effect would have been extraordinary."

The thought of the Falcon Legion annihilating the Royal Legion is incredibly exciting.

"This is the current military deployment of the Princes' Party. General Charlotte estimates that the Princes' Party will launch an offensive within a week at the latest."

"We expect to attack these places first." Lilith took out another document.

It is the location of several fleets assembled by the princes' faction, and a possible route for launching an attack.

Zhao Chen glanced at it but didn't pay much °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° attention. His attack was divided equally between the Chuhe Star Region and the Beifeng Star Region.

Although the Governor of the North Wind did not express his opinion, the Prince's Party decisively drew a line between the two, which was also a result that others tacitly agreed upon.

"General Charlotte said that there is a high probability that the attack will be launched first from the North Wind Star Region."

Compared to the Chuhe Star Region, the Beifeng Star Region is the weakest link in this defense line, especially considering that there were also the princes' faction members who had been cultivated by the Beifeng Star Region.

Governor Chu would never stand by and watch the North Wind Star Region suffer, so he would definitely send his own legion fleet to provide support. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"At that time, it can also help to disperse Governor Chu's troops." Lilith conveyed General Charlotte's meaning.

"I think Governor-General Beifeng and Old Master Chu are aware of this, and they will make arrangements."

"We don't need to worry about that. What we need to do now is our own business." Zhao Chen raised his hand and opened the interstellar map of the northern part of the Chuhe Star Region.

"Lilith, I just asked you to calculate how many T3 Gold Miner-class heavy interstellar mining ships would be needed to maximize the utilization of these star system resources," Zhao Chen asked.

"Based on our calculations and the existing exploration data we have collected regarding the resources of these galaxies."

Given the high probability that our T3 Goldminer-class heavy interplanetary mining ship will make new discoveries, we are doubling the original exploration data.

"We need to prepare at least 20,000 T3 Goldminer-class heavy interplanetary mining ships, and there's a high probability that this number can increase," Lilith replied.

"Twenty thousand ships? Just the construction cost alone would be nearly 200 billion star coins." Zhao Chen was quite surprised.

“To mine the resources of these star systems, simply building these T3 Goldminer-class heavy interplanetary mining ships is only one element.”

We also need a large number of staff. With 20,000 T3 Gold Diggers, that would require at least 500 million supporting employees.

Only then can we ensure the smooth operation and functioning of these 20,000 T3 Gold Rush ships.

In addition, we also need to build important interstellar facilities such as starports and stargates in these star systems.

It is estimated that at least one hundred starports and one hundred stargates will need to be built.

If we calculate based on our two existing technologies, the T3 Moon-class Stargate and the T3 Stormfortress-class Large Starport.

The cost of constructing these two facilities alone would require at least 400 billion star coins.

Another factor to consider is that these star systems currently lack well-developed stargate hubs, so transporting raw materials to these star systems is always an expense.

In short, all the related deployments and construction would require at least 800 billion Star Coins.

"This is just the first step in the cost. The subsequent maintenance, personnel logistics, deployment of patrol fleets, construction of habitable cities on some planets, and so on will cost a considerable sum." Lilith stated a staggering figure.

Eight hundred billion Star Coins!

Zhao Chen was stunned for a while. He knew this job was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be this expensive.

He originally thought that the Dragon Legion's assets of over 100 billion were already quite abundant, but now he sees that... it's far from enough.

"So, based on these calculations, what will our future profits be?" Zhao Chen asked seriously.

As a businessman, one must naturally understand how much return one can expect after making an investment.

"Once all of these are completed, with all 20,000 T3 Gold Miner-class heavy interstellar mining ships in production, we will be able to mine at least 500 billion in resources every month in the future," Lilith said, looking at Zhao Chen.

Excitement began to appear in Zhao Chen's originally calm gaze; it was a kind of 'light'.

"We must complete this project."

If there's an opportunity, seize it! If there isn't, create one and seize it!

"No matter what, I'm going to take this territory!" Zhao Chen said confidently.

A single month's output value reached 500 billion...

My goodness, this could give me so many interstellar warships!
