Chapter 2010: Parents’ Meeting
"That is, in a universe, if many people die."
"That way we can collect this spiritual energy much faster," Zhao Chen said, frowning.
"That's one way to understand it."
We have also investigated whether other civilizations have done similar things.
Their choice was to directly massacre people on a densely populated planet and then use equipment to collect resources directly from that planet, which was the most efficient method.
But..." Chief Engineer Nana stopped abruptly at this point.
massacre.
Zhao Chen frowned.
“We will absolutely not use this method,” Zhao Chen said firmly.
If one were to intentionally slaughter a group of life forms in order to build an interstellar warship, that would be the act of a butcher.
Although Zhao Chen doesn't consider himself a good person, he's not a bad person who indiscriminately kills innocent people either.
"That's what we think too."
The only efficient way to collect resources is by going to those battlefield ruins.
Because there is often a lot of this kind of spiritual energy on battlefield ruins, the efficiency of collecting it is much greater.
We have built more than one hundred data acquisition devices so far.
They were deployed in different locations.
These more than one hundred devices collected data over a month.
Only then could a test ship like No. 702 be built.
One ship per month?
The construction efficiency is indeed very slow.
Now, thanks to the increased production capacity of Base 001, the annual production of T7 Apollo-class super starships has reached one hundred.
If we calculate it this way, only a dozen or so of these interstellar warships can be built each year.
It has low construction costs, but long construction time.
With these pros and cons combined, it's really a dilemma.
"However, once the core is built with one charge, no further charging is required."
During battle, it will automatically absorb the surrounding psionic energy!
"Oh, by the way, it won't affect the reawakening of our JF-17 crew!" Chief Engineer Annie said, praising the interstellar warship she designed and developed.
It seems she is very worried that her technology will also die in its infancy because of these things.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment
He looked at Chief Engineer Nana: "Can you calculate how many psionic energy collection devices are needed to achieve our maximum collection efficiency?"
At the highest extraction efficiency, how many of these interstellar warships could be produced annually?
Zhao Chen inquired about the key issues involved.
"I have done simulations on this."
If we deploy these collectors in the most efficient way possible, given our current multiverse and the vast universe we exist in,...
We need about 100,000 units, which can then provide an annual production of 300 Type 702 ships.
The cost of building the data acquisition equipment is not high; the main expense is time.
According to my calculations, it may take three years to complete all the procedures before we can achieve our goal of producing 300 ships per year. Chief Engineer Nana had already done the calculations for this issue.
Three years.
Zhao Chen finally made the decision: "Okay, this 702 interstellar warship is officially established as the second mass-produced T7 interstellar warship."
A formal project team will be established to be fully responsible for the construction of this interstellar warship.
Upon hearing that Emperor Xiaolong had agreed, Chief Engineer Annie jumped for joy.
"Now it's time to officially name this interstellar warship."
"It can't be the Anne." Chief Engineer Nana emphasized this point from the side.
Anne pouted, but still said generously, "If I don't want to be called Anne, then I don't want to be called Anne."
"This was designed and handled by the two of you, so you two should decide on the naming." Zhao Chen handed over the naming rights to Annie and Nana.
The two huddled together and discussed it for a while.
Finally, a name was obtained.
The name of the second mass-produced T7 interstellar warship of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has been officially adopted as: God of the Void!
That position was officially named: The Realm of the Void!
"T7 Void God-class Super Starship, let's go with that name."
You have finalized the construction plan for the first batch of interstellar warships.
"I'm really looking forward to the first batch of interstellar warships rolling off the production line and entering service." Zhao Chen said with a smile after finishing these instructions.
His expression turned serious again: "The methods of psionic energy harvesting must be strictly managed."
Slaughtering for the purpose of efficiently harvesting psionic energy is not permitted.
Once discovered, whoever it is, will be sentenced to death!
Finally, Zhao Chen drew a red line for this project.
This red line is Zhao Chen's bottom line; anyone who crosses it will die!
“Yes!” Chief Engineers Anne and Nana nodded.
They all naturally agreed with this.
They built their interstellar warships to protect their own people and to drive away the evil enemies.
If building this interstellar warship requires the needless sacrifice of their own lives, then it goes against their original intentions!
The plan to put the second mass-produced interstellar warship of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire into production was quickly put into action.
But the outside world is still unaware of this.
Because this is top secret.
Only a few people know this.
Only when it first appears on the battlefield, surprising the enemy.
Only then will the world know of the arrival of this god of the void!

"Parent-teacher meeting?" Zhao Chen looked at his eldest daughter across the video window.
Zhao Bai'er clasped her hands together, looking at her father with a cute and pleading expression.
"Yes.
The day after tomorrow is the parents' meeting that our college will hold.
The teacher said that parents must be present in person.
This relates to the major we will be officially assigned to in the future, and to our future life path.
Therefore, at least one immediate family member must be present.
I mentioned it to my aunt, but she's very busy right now, inspecting the battlefield on the side of the Holy Maiden Civilization. We only chatted for a few minutes before the conversation ended.
I've already spoken to Lilith, the stepmother, and she's even busier than I am.
so......"
Looking at his eldest daughter's pleading eyes.
Zhao Chen knew that the reason Charlotte and Lilith were so busy was largely due to him.
Charlotte is busy because the Dragon Star Empire currently has two battlefields to take charge of. One is the battlefield on the Black Wall, which is relatively stable at the moment, and the Dragon Machine Race has been cooperating in the defense.
However, Charlotte still needs to personally oversee the construction and defense of the defenses.
Then there's the battlefield on the side of the Holy Maiden Civilization.
Although the fighting has been low-intensity so far, we cannot be unprepared.
There have been recent rumors that the Three Gods Civilization has held several secret meetings, presumably to prepare for the next phase of their battle plan.
So Charlotte went there herself to ensure that the fifteen legion fleets there were in good combat condition and ready to be deployed into battle at any time.
Lilith was busy.
Not to mention, at this stage of development, the secretarial staff are almost always working non-stop, and even if they have time off, no one takes it.
“Okay, I’ll go then.” Zhao Chen readily agreed.
Attending your child's parent-teacher conference is a great experience in itself.
I don't usually spend much time with my child, so this is a way of making up for it.
"But Dad, could you please put on some makeup when you come?" Zhao Bai'er asked her father.
"make up?"
"Yes, if you come out looking like this, how am I supposed to hold this parent-teacher meeting?"
None of my classmates know that my father is the Emperor of Dragons. I still want to enjoy my college life here.
"So Dad, why don't you put on some makeup?" Zhao Bai'er said.
That makes sense when you think about it.
Zhao Chen could completely understand.
"Then you need to tell me first what kind of identity you arranged for me in the academy," Zhao Chen asked.
"An interstellar trader under the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire made some money from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's industries."
Well......
"We have some cooperative relationship with the Beiyan Group, and we have a good relationship with the Li family," Zhao Bai'er said, revealing the persona she had created for herself at the academy.
"Interstellar traders, they're just nouveau riche."
Okay, then send me the time.
"I'll have my secretary arrange it," Zhao Chen said with a grin.
"OK."
The call ended.
Zhao Chen immediately instructed his secretary to arrange his schedule for the day after tomorrow. As for the character design and styling, Zhao Chen naturally didn't need to think about that.
The people under my command will all be taken care of.
On the other side, Zhao Bai'er breathed a sigh of relief.
This matter has finally been resolved.
I was worried that my parents wouldn't have time to attend my parent-teacher conference.
"Bai'er, what are you doing in the bathroom?"
"Why has it taken so long?" Zhao Bai'er's roommate asked curiously from the sofa in the living room.
There are various types of dormitories within this college.
To avoid standing out, Zhao Bai'er booked a regular four-person dormitory room.
Although it's called a four-person dormitory, it's actually quite spacious, nearly 200 square meters.
It's a suite-style dormitory.
Each of the four people has their own dormitory room and private bathroom, and then there is a kitchen, living room and public bathroom in the common area.
The dormitory conditions are quite good.
The three people living with Zhao Bai'er were all on good terms with her.
They usually team up for any group assignments.
"Have you discussed the parent-teacher conference with your parents?"
"Speaking of which, Bai'er, is it your father or your mother who comes to visit?" someone asked curiously.
"It's my dad."
"My mom is quite busy, so she doesn't have time to come," Zhao Bai'er said.
“Your father... I remember you said that your family were interstellar traders, partners of the Li family.”
"Yes."
"That's pretty good."
"You must be very rich, right!"
"A little bit."
Everyone actually knows something about each other's families.
Zhao Bai'er had even seen them make video calls with their parents.
This made Zhao Bai'er somewhat envious.
Because it's absolutely impossible for her to make a video call with her parents.
If they knew that their father was Zhao Chen, the emperor of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
She couldn't even imagine what that scene would be like.
You should know that she could see her father all the time just in this dormitory.
The AI in the dormitory suite is modeled after Zhao Chen's butler, and the voice is also Zhao Chen's voice.
There are even several refrigerator magnets, murals, and ornaments featuring Zhao Chen.
This is still in a public area.
Zhao Bai'er had no idea what other small items were in her roommates' rooms.
But she knew that two of her roommates would secretly buy things online every month.
The packaging made it impossible to tell what was inside.
And they never let anyone into their rooms.
Zhao Bai'er would never believe that there were any big secrets in their room.
She wasn't curious; things were fine this way.
If she were to see something she shouldn't have seen, she really wouldn't know how to face her friends.
Looking at this room, which bears the marks of her father everywhere.
Zhao Bai'er felt helpless; there were far more traces of her father in her own villa than here.
"I'm still quite curious about what Bai'er's father looks like."
We've all met all of our parents.
"I've never seen your parents, Bai'er."
"Bai'er is so beautiful, then Bai'er's dad must be very handsome!"
I heard everyone still talking about their fathers.
Zhao Bai'er quickly changed the subject: "Alright, you'll be able to see what my dad looks like in a couple of days."
Now we should be thinking about what we'll be doing when we choose our majors.
Previously, our studies were more comprehensive, covering various aspects.
In the future, our studies will become more specialized.
The teacher has already mentioned this.
The subsequent choice of major will be crucial to our future!
Zhao Bai'er's words successfully changed the subject.
"I've already thought of it. I'll just be in charge of logistics."
"I like seeing the supplies I manage in good order," said a rather shy girl.
"I want to be on the bridge!"
I want to be a secretary.
I know my grades and abilities; I'm not cut out to be a captain.
However, a clerical position like secretary is still acceptable.
Moreover, if I do well, I might be able to get into the Imperial Secretariat in the future.
At that time, I might be able to meet His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong.
I can even meet my female idol, Lady Lilith!
So beautiful!
Lady Lilith is, in my opinion, the most beautiful woman ever!
"I still want to be a captain, and if there's hope in the future, I'd also like to be a fleet commander."
"If I could command an army of 300,000 interstellar warships, I would be completely satisfied!"
"Bai'er, what about you?"
"Bai'er, do I need to say anything?"
It's definitely the command department.
She gets the best grades in every subject.
Especially when she was in the role of fleet commander, no one was better than her.
I believe that my Bai'er will definitely become a fleet commander in the future.
He's destined to be a marshal!
Hearing her companion's words, Zhao Bai'er humbly said that she still had a lot to improve.
Meanwhile, everyone was dreaming about their future.
Everyone says that they must serve in the same fleet in the future, so that they can look out for each other.
During breaks, we can also meet up to eat and chat together.
They will be best friends for life.
Seeing how happy my roommate was.
Zhao Bai'er cherished everything she had, unaware of what would happen when her identity was revealed to the public.
Will this feeling still exist?
