Chapter 965: The Swarm Mission Completed
Afterwards, she held private talks with the Holy Radiance Empire, the Starshine Empire, and Blanche of the Warhammer Star Federation Kingdom.
After all, although the battle is over, there are still many post-war issues to deal with.
For example, there are many issues such as the repair of damaged interstellar warships, the salvage of interstellar warship wreckage on the battlefield, the disposal of Zerg mothership wreckage, and the handling of Zerg on the planets.
Although Zhao Chen doesn't need to handle many things personally, when it comes to cooperation with various allies, he, as the 'mascot,' needs to step in.
It was half a day later when I finished dealing with all of this.
Zhao Chen threw himself onto the bed.
"Finally, I can get a good night's sleep." Zhao Chen felt like he just wanted to clear his mind, not think about anything, and not care about anything.
The'Swarm' quarterly mission is entering the settlement phase...
Zhao Chen, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.
Quarterly tasks!
Zhao Chen glanced at the time; it was now the last ten minutes of the end of June.
It's time to settle the quarterly tasks.
I don't know how I'll evaluate myself in the end.
Although he had defeated most of the Zerg motherships, a small number of them were still roaming around, which might lower Zhao Chen's mission score.
Regardless, Zhao Chen has invested so much in this mission.
Zhao Chen wouldn't stand for it without some good rewards!
【The'Swarm' quarterly mission has been completed】
【'Swarm Frenzy', Host Completion Rating: SS+】
SS+?
This seems to be even worse than SSS.
It's unclear whether the point deduction was due to casualties on our own fleet or the failure to completely eliminate the Zerg fleet.
However, there's no time to think about these things that are already done.
【'Swarm of Insects' Quarterly Quest: Quest Rewards Now Being Distributed】
【Received two T5 Mall lottery tickets and one T4 Mall lottery ticket】
Zhao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, rubbing his chin with his right hand.
"Two T5 Mall lottery tickets? You should get one if you get an'S' rating."
"Then this T4 Mall lottery ticket should be the '+' you get," Zhao Chen guessed.
While he was thinking about these things.
Three raffle tickets appeared in front of him.
The first two are gold cards with five stars, while the latter is a white card with four stars.
A line of text also appeared above it.
'Tap lightly to use'
This is a test of luck.
Zhao Chen took a deep breath and first tapped the T4 Mall lottery ticket.
The T4 Mall raffle ticket began to spin rapidly, and finally burst open like fireworks.
Then, a holographic projection of an interstellar warship appeared in front of Zhao Chen.
It was also accompanied by a system notification sound.
【Congratulations on obtaining the T4 Star Guardian-class medium-sized interstellar unmanned guard ship technology blueprints】
Zhao Chen frowned slightly.
The name of this ship type is somewhat unique.
Interstellar unmanned guard ship?
I've never heard of that before.
Zhao Chen clicked on the holographic projection, and all the data about the starship appeared.
After reviewing it, Zhao Chen basically understood its positioning.
First, let's look at the name.
This is an unmanned interstellar warship, controlled by the bridge's artificial intelligence.
This inevitably touches upon a taboo in this universe.
Advanced artificial intelligence!
To be able to fully control an interstellar warship and achieve a completely unmanned interstellar warship undoubtedly involves touching this forbidden territory.
However, looking at the data it displayed, Zhao Chen had to admit...
Quite appealing.
First, the first advantage is obvious: because it is an unmanned interstellar warship, there is no need to train crew members, and there will be no follow-up treatment, compensation, or other expenses if the starship crashes.
It saved a lot of money.
It's important to understand that a significant portion of the expenses incurred by an interstellar warship in achieving combat readiness is closely related to the crew.
The second advantage is that the cost of this T4 Star Guardian-class interstellar unmanned guard ship is very low!
It was so cheap that even Zhao Chen couldn't believe it.
To give an example, among the T4 combat ships that Zhao Chen already possesses, the cheapest one is the T4 Paladin-class heavy interstellar missile frigate, which costs 500 million star coins per ship!
How much did this T4 Star Guardian cost?
Ten million Star Coins!
That's right, ten million Star Coins!
Unbelievable price.
The cost of one T5 Paladin-class heavy interplanetary missile frigate is enough to build fifty T4 Star Guardians!
However, looking at its combat performance, one can understand why it is so inexpensive.
First, because it is unmanned, all equipment related to the service of starship crew members has been removed, including long-term life support systems, dormitories, jet bridges, starship mess halls, etc.
In this way, the interstellar warship can achieve the ultimate cost-effectiveness in terms of size, saving a lot of costs.
Secondly, there is its strategic positioning.
It is not an expeditionary interstellar warship, just like its name suggests.
It is an interstellar patrol ship, and as its name suggests, its role is more like that of an interstellar police officer than a warrior.
Its hull is very small, about one-fifth the size of the T5 Paladin-class heavy interplanetary missile frigate.
The captain is less than a kilometer away!
Its size is almost equivalent to that of a T3-class star frigate and star destroyer.
But don't underestimate this interstellar warship just because of its size, or you will pay the price.
Its overall firepower output is definitely at the T4 level, but its ammunition capacity is not large, so it is not suitable for expeditions and large-scale battles.
It is equipped with a variety of weapons, including close-in weapon systems, laser cannons, rapid-fire cannons, pulse cannons, and interstellar missiles.
Most importantly, this interstellar warship does not have detailed weapon specifications.
Each of its modules can be equipped with different weapons and equipment as needed.
It can be fully equipped with interstellar missiles, or it can be equipped with a few bow guns, or it can be just a rapid-fire cannon.
Of course, the cost will vary depending on the type of assembly.
But this gives the interstellar guard ship different possibilities and a more controllable space.
Most importantly, it only costs ten million Star Coins per ship!
"Such a low price and high cost-effectiveness in combat."
"Then I can deploy this interstellar patrol ship in those important territories!" Zhao Chen muttered to himself.
This is practically a starship tailor-made for his Xiaolong Galaxy Interstellar Group's business empire.
As for that limitation of artificial intelligence...
Zhao Chen had already forgotten about it.
What time is it now? Who cares about this?
Most importantly.
It only costs ten million Star Coins per ship!
Ten million Star Coins can build a T4 interstellar warship, what else do you need!
