Chapter 1898: Procurement Plan
Jade dragon scales.
The first established item for inter-space swarm travel in the Dragon Star Empire.
Of course, this is only the initial version.
It can only be used to transport a T3-class interstellar warship; to be precise, it is still only an experimental product.
"Based on the current usage and data of jade dragon scales."
Expanding the scale is actually not difficult.
All we need to do is increase its size several times over, ensuring that it functions properly in all aspects after the size increase.
"That would allow us to successfully deploy an interstellar fleet," said Emerald Elf King Mansfield from the side.
Zhao Chen nodded in understanding.
He was also involved in the entire research and development process of this jade dragon scale.
He knew the nature of this thing.
Emerald Dragon Scales can be deployed across universes, but they are one-time, one-way items.
This means it can only be used once, and then the interstellar fleet is deployed to the target universe cluster.
Very convenient.
However, because it is a one-time, one-way relationship, it also has great limitations.
However, this is currently the shortest time that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire can build and mass-produce for interstellar transport.
Other devices, such as those capable of long-term inter-universe swarm deployments, require more time and effort.
The Dragon Star Empire will naturally continue its research in this area.
After all, in the area of inter-universe mass delivery.
Whether it's permanent, long-term, or one-off.
These are all things that the Dragon Star Empire needs.
For now, a one-time solution can address the immediate crisis facing the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
The thought that soon the fleets of the Dragon Star Empire would be able to appear in other universes without worry is intriguing.
There is no longer a need to expend a lot of resources to hire the space agency.
Zhao Chen was filled with joy.
It should be noted that this would not only increase investment in the Venerable Civilization Universe Cluster, but also increase support for the Ash Interstellar Holy Kingdom.
Furthermore, the Dragon Star Empire can also take the initiative in the mining and transportation of new resources.
This crucial technology relies entirely on others.
That's like standing on a boat where someone else is controlling the oars; that feeling of instability and insecurity has been Zhao Chen's constant worry lately.
Now, this worry can finally be put to rest.
"No matter what."
We need to get the genuine jade dragon scale made as soon as possible.
"We also need to mass-produce them in the shortest possible time." Zhao Chen looked seriously at the Emerald Elf King Mansfield.
Emerald Elf King Mansfield understood Zhao Chen's meaning and nodded, saying, "I understand that perfectly well."
If everything goes well afterwards.
About a month.
That confirms it's the final genuine product.
By then, these jade dragon scales can be officially mass-produced.
This thing is actually not that difficult to produce; it's much easier than a starship.
The main consumption is in rare resources, but it's mainly in new resources.
Therefore, construction time won't be too long, but due to the limited quantity of new resources, the number of this item may be limited.
Upon hearing this prediction from the Emerald Elf King Mansfield.
Zhao Chen also knew that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire had a strong industrial foundation, so there was no need to worry about the construction time.
However, the challenge of developing new materials is one that cannot be overcome in the short term.
"I understand about this, and I will find a way to handle it."
For now, let's proceed as you suggested.
Zhao Chen paused for a moment, then continued, "During this period, because of this project..."
Everyone has been working here continuously.
Everyone is working very hard.
I want to wait until this project is over so that everyone can have a good rest and relax.
Of course, that includes you.
Don't rush to reject me.
Have you not contacted the Holy Elf Empire for quite some time now?
Your relatives back home are extremely worried.
You're afraid I'll do something to you.
"If you don't get in touch soon, I reckon the people from your Holy Elf Empire will come knocking on our door demanding your return."
Hearing Zhao Chen's teasing words.
Emerald Elf King Mansfield also knew that he had been too focused on this during this period.
They had long forgotten everything about the outside world.
It's time to deal with those things.
He also knew that Zhao Chen was not joking.
Before coming to the Dragon Star Empire, he had made a promise to the Radiant Elf King Gustav and his group.
During my time in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, I needed to send back messages every now and then, informing him of my situation there, the ongoing research, and its progress.
He also knew that the Radiant Elf King Gustav was not only worried about him, but also concerned about the progress of the scientific research projects of the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
After all, that was all agreed upon beforehand.
The Holy Elf Empire can share any technology he is involved in.
“I understand,” Emerald Elf King Mansfield replied.
After explaining things here.
Zhao Chen did not linger there any longer.
He still has a lot of things to take care of.
The moment he returned to Chang'an.
He then received the message.
It was a message sent back from the Holy Kingdom of Ash Star.
First, there's the battle situation between the Wyvern Starfleet and the Ash Star Holy Kingdom, as well as other related events.
There are many in total.
Because of the distance between the two universe groups, communication is not so simple.
It often takes a long time.
Therefore, every time Marshal Chu Xuan reported back, the news was extremely detailed, almost like a diary, recording all the big and small events.
However, when they were presented to Zhao Chen, they would emphasize certain important points by playing a drinking game.
This greatly reduced Zhao Chen's reading time.
Finally, Marshal Chu Xuan mentioned to Zhao Chen that the Venerable Civilization Alliance had contacted the Ash Interstellar Holy Kingdom through their channels.
The idea was to purchase a batch of interstellar warships from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Regarding this idea.
When Zhao Chen saw it, he also showed a surprised expression.
I never expected that this Venerable Civilization Alliance would be so unconventional.
They had just overthrown an entire alliance of civilizations, and now they were coming to them to buy interstellar warships.
However, this also suggests that the current situation of the Venerable Civilization Alliance is not optimistic.
On the main battlefield, in the battle against the Conqueror Civilization's legion fleet, they have probably already suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, a large number of interstellar warships were stockpiled and deployed to the battlefield to alleviate this pressure.
