Chapter 1395: Return to Xiaolong Empire
Dragon Empire
"This is the information we've collected about the Holy Elf Empire."
There was also a signed alliance agreement. Zhao Chen looked at Lilith and Charlotte on the other side of the video window and chatted with them about his visit to the Holy Elf Empire.
Lilith was reading through the various documents about the Holy Elf Empire in detail, skimming through them.
Charlotte, on the other hand, didn't pay any attention to the information in the contract.
She looked at Zhao Chen with interest: "Do you have any information about the Holy Elf Empire's active interstellar warships?"
I heard they have a raw material that can build a T6-class interstellar warship?
Zhao Chen opened another document.
This document contains exclusively information on various interstellar warships, all originating from the Holy Elf Empire.
However, some of these interstellar warships have more comprehensive information, while others may only have pictures and some simple introductions.
The higher the level of the interstellar warship, the less information is available.
"These are basically the active and previously used interstellar warships of the Holy Elf Empire."
All the information I could get is here.
That's all the details I have.
As for that World Tree...
That is indeed a very magical thing; it is a new type of material that also possesses some kind of energy.
It can be used to build T6-class interstellar warships.
"However, there may be some limitations. I don't know much about the specifics, but the Holy Elf Empire has some restrictions in this regard," Zhao Chen explained.
Charlotte began to concentrate intently on the information about these interstellar warships.
At this point, Lilith had basically seen the gist of it. She looked up at Zhao Chen and said, "The contents of the alliance agreement are basically fine. Although we didn't gain a big advantage, at least we didn't suffer a loss."
After all, that's all the capital we have right now.
However, there doesn't seem to be any detailed information regarding the Holy Elf Empire's development of T7-level technology.
Zhao Chen nodded and explained, "I also tried to pay attention to this part."
Indeed, it was discovered that the Holy Elf Empire's research in T7-level technology was not particularly large-scale.
However, it cannot be ruled out that they adopted a confidential research method.
Lilith frowned slightly and said, "Research T7 level technology."
Normally, this level of scientific research requires a lot of resources, manpower, materials, and time.
It's impossible for there to be absolutely no disturbance.
Moreover, the entire universe of the Holy Elf Empire is controlled by the Elf race.
Only external order and the invasion that devours civilization.
Normally, the Holy Elf Empire could openly research T7 technological civilization, striving to break through to T7 technological civilization as soon as possible, so as to confront the Order head-on.
There is absolutely no need to maintain such a high level of secrecy.
At most, we'll increase security around the research institute to prevent attacks by fanatical adherents of order.
After listening to Lilith's analysis, it is indeed true.
Zhao Chen said in a deep voice, "In fact, the Holy Elf Empire does indeed have some inexplicable secrets."
Whether it was with the Elf King of the Holy Elf Empire or with Gladys, the special envoy who accompanied me back this time, both of us were powerful figures.
You can sense that there are some things they are unwilling to talk about openly.
As for these things, it's not appropriate for us to delve too deeply into them at the moment.
Otherwise, it could very well lead to a rift in our cooperation!
Lilith nodded in agreement: "That's right. We are currently allied with the Holy Elf Empire, and we also need to rely on the Holy Elf Empire's power."
During this period, it is important to maintain good relations with the Holy Elf Empire.
Of course, we cannot be completely without any information about the Holy Elf Empire.
"I will try to establish some suitable information acquisition channels later."
Zhao Chen suddenly smiled and said, "I had already thought about this information acquisition channel before I came back."
Lilith looked at Zhao Chen with a puzzled expression.
"I'll tell you about this later."
I was away for about ten days.
"What's the situation in different places?" Zhao Chen asked with concern.
During his trip to the Holy Elf Empire, Zhao Chen was constantly worried about his family, so he went quickly and returned without staying long in the Holy Elf Empire.
"Everything is proceeding according to plan."
There won't be any problems.
Regarding the possibility of an invasion that could devour a civilization.
All areas within our Dragon Empire are maintaining a 24-hour Level II combat readiness status, and the number and frequency of patrol fleets in some important areas have also increased.
The T6 Cosmic Space Dynamics Monitor is also kept running, ready to detect any unusual activity in our universe.
This ensures that we are informed immediately.
Charlotte, along with the marshals, also devised several emergency plans.
At the same time, I have also prepared some contingency plans for an emergency entry into a state of war.
Under our arrangement, once an enemy is discovered to be within the territory of our Dragon Empire universe, we will take action.
No matter where it is, under normal circumstances, it can guarantee that 300,000 interstellar warships can reach the target location within three hours to intercept the enemy.
In an emergency, one million interstellar warships can be deployed to the target location within three hours.
..." Lilith then went on to describe a series of aspects of war preparations.
Despite the peaceful scene that the Dragon Empire appears to be now, with just one order, the entire Dragon Empire will enter a state of war in the shortest possible time.
Everyone will contribute their share to the war effort!
"I previously obtained a report from the Holy Elf Empire regarding the combat strength of the military fleet that devours civilizations."
"Take a look and make some pre-battle preparations." Zhao Chen then took out an important document and handed it to Charlotte and Lilith.
Charlotte was also very, very interested in this thing.
After glancing at it, she immediately said, "Give me three days, and I will have the Imperial Military investigate based on this information about the Devouring Civilization's military fleet."
Make an assessment.
Zhao Chen nodded.
"Afterwards, the Holy Elf Empire will station troops within our Dragon Empire. You will decide on the locations of the five bases."
Afterwards, relevant personnel should be arranged to contact the Holy Elf Empire Legion fleet.
The high elves of the Holy Elf Empire are all rather ill-tempered and arrogant.
When we send someone to contact them, we need to be mentally prepared.
But remember, they are allies, and we will respect them.
"But at the same time, we can't let our prestige be diminished!" Zhao Chen reminded him.
“Leave this to me,” Lilith nodded.
After chatting about a few more things, Zhao Chen and the two ended their conversation.
After finishing the conversation, Zhao Chen hurriedly went to another place.
"Is this the capital star system of your Dragon Empire?"
The Imperial Guard fleet returned directly to the Xiaolong system; this was Gladys's first time visiting the Xiaolong system.
When I first came to the Dragon Empire, I didn't even have time to explore the universe much before I was surrounded by the Dragon Legion fleet.
Even after the misunderstanding was cleared up, she and her fleet were not allowed to leave their original positions.
Her only way of understanding this Dragon Empire universe was through the local network.
She knew that the Xiaolong Galaxy existed and had seen related pictures and videos, but this was a completely different experience from being here in person.
"To be honest, our galaxy isn't as... spectacular as your Sacred Tree galaxy," Xiong Lulu said sincerely, standing beside Gladys.
But she looked tenderly at the Xiaolong Galaxy before her: "But the development of this galaxy is under our watchful eyes."
In less than ten years, it has grown from a remote galaxy with a population of less than one billion to the capital of this empire.
This is our JF-17 home.
Gladys gazed at the galaxy.
There is no spectacular World Tree, nor any landscape showcasing amazing plant technology.
But looking at those well-ordered interstellar fleets and the endless stream of interstellar warships...
She could sense the activity in this Xiaolong star system!
"Where is your Emperor?" Gladys then noticed that the Dragon Emperor had disappeared since they arrived in this star system.
Xiong Lulu smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has gone to the Imperial Military Research Institute."
That area is a classified unit, so you cannot go there.
But you are free to explore the entire Xiaolong system; I am ordered to accompany you.
Gladys glanced at Xiong Lulu, and the two exchanged a knowing smile.
Gladys knew that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor had arranged for Xiong Lulu to accompany her, in fact, to monitor her.
This could be considered a kind of 'reciprocity' given to her when she was in her own Holy Elf Empire, under the instruction of the High Council, to accompany His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.
This time, however, it was she who was enjoying this service.
However, Gladys had no objection. She smiled and said, "Then I shall accept your offer."
I am indeed very curious about the Emperor of the Dragon Empire who came from this star system, and about the star system that gave birth to the Dragon Empire.
What kind of existence is it, exactly?
...
Imperial Military Research Institute
After dealing with various matters concerning the Xiaolong Empire, Zhao Chen immediately rushed back to the Imperial Military Research Institute.
They witnessed firsthand the advanced and powerful interstellar warships of the Holy Elf Empire and learned about the strength of the Devouring Civilization.
This made Zhao Chen even more aware of his own lack of strength.
bang
Suddenly, a loud bang.
The door was kicked open.
Annie, who was eating a hamburger, was startled and her body trembled.
The patty from the hamburger fell directly to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Chen asked, looking at Annie, who was standing there in a daze.
Annie stared longingly at the meat pie that Zhao Chen was trampling under his feet.
Oh no!
My meat pie!
"Annie, give me a report on your work over the past period."
"On the way here, your sister Nana already reported her part of the work to me." Zhao Chen took a step and then noticed a meat pie under his feet.
He frowned slightly and muttered, "Whose meat pie is this? Why is it left on the ground? The robot vacuum cleaner didn't even bother to clean it up."
As he spoke, Zhao Chen looked at the robot vacuum cleaner parked on the side, its opening facing this direction.
Zhao Chen kicked the meat pie in with a forceful stomp of his foot.
It's in!
Full marks!
A set of movements that evokes a sense of silky smoothness.
After that, Zhao Chen returned to his seat in the office next door.
“Annie.”
Hearing Zhao Chen's shout, Annie finally came to her senses. She looked at the hamburger in her hand, which was now just a slice of bread, and pouted.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, she still stuffed the bread slice into her mouth.
Then he walked to Zhao Chen's desk and began to report on his work over the past few days, but his words still carried a hint of resentment.
After listening to Annie's work report.
Annie's work ability is still not a problem.
"These are some things I've recorded during my time in the Holy Elf Empire."
"Take a look first; it might be helpful for the subsequent research in each section," Zhao Chen said.
“Okay.” Annie could only accept the task reluctantly when she saw that her workload had increased again.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"His Majesty."
"Enter."
Zhao Chen said.
Dr. Camille walked in; she had come specifically after being notified.
"His Majesty."
“Camille, you are in charge of space exploration and research projects related to stargates.” Zhao Chen looked at Dr. Camille.
Dr. Camille nodded.
"You can delegate the space exploration to your deputy; there's no need to rush."
You are now primarily responsible for the research project on the cosmic stargate.
I have some relevant theoretical material here that might be useful to you. You can take it back and take a look.
In addition, the Holy Elf Empire sent some technical personnel who came back with me this time.
Our two countries have established an alliance and will also use the Holy Elf Empire's 'Water Dragon Gate Star Gate Type' technology to build a permanent cosmic star gate connecting the Dragon Empire universe and the Holy Elf Empire universe.
To increase construction efficiency.
On our side of the stargate, we will be responsible for building the low- to mid-range component modules, and our technicians will provide guidance and technical support.
However, the core technology modules were still built by the Holy Elf Empire and then transported over.
Although we only have access to low- to mid-range technology.
But for us now, having something is better than having nothing.
Then you can assign a few of the most capable researchers to work alongside those researchers from the Holy Elf Empire.
In short, learn as much as you can.
Let us achieve this as soon as possible: the ability to build our own interplanetary travel capability and our own cosmic stargate for the Dragon Empire!
Upon hearing Emperor Xiaolong's words...
Dr. Camille understood, and she said excitedly and firmly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will seize any opportunity that may arise to accelerate our own research."
This will absolutely allow us to possess interplanetary travel technology that is second to none in the shortest possible time!
Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.
The reason why Zhao Chen has chosen to temporarily suspend the space exploration project and instead focus on inter-space travel is that
The former, Zhao Chen's aim was to find the primordial universe in order to conduct research on breaking through the T7 technological civilization.
However, according to information provided by the Holy Elf Empire, at least within a relatively short range, there is no such primordial universe.
However, interplanetary travel technology cannot be used indefinitely; otherwise, it would be equivalent to giving others an opportunity to exploit your weaknesses.
Therefore, solving this technical problem is the most important thing!
