This way, Zhao Chen’s two Galaxies, though far apart, would be like close neighbors!
However, there were also drawbacks.
The first was the extremely high cost; a single T3 Brightmoon-class Stargate required two billion star coins!
If Zhao Chen wanted to connect the Xiaolong Star System and the Lion King Star System, he would have to build two, which meant a budget of four billion star coins.
At the same time, the second drawback was the transport capacity!
Because it was a Star Gate built in a short period, under the combined characteristics of short construction time and long-distance travel, it had the problem of low transport capacity.
Zhao Chen’s T3 Brightmoon-class Stargate had only one-twentieth of the daily transport capacity of the Starlight Empire’s same-level Star Gate.
For example, if their Star Gate could transport one million Interstellar Warship a day, Zhao Chen’s could only transport fifty thousand Interstellar Warship.
However, given Zhao Chen’s current situation, these two Star Gates would definitely be built in secret, especially the one in the Xiaolong Star System; the site selection was very important and had to be hidden from everyone, especially the Starlight Empire.
So, the transport capacity was not very important; after all, only the Xiaolong Fleet’s own Interstellar Warship would be using it.
Combining all these reasons!
Zhao Chen decided that he must build a Star Gate belonging to the Xiaolong Fleet!
【Do you want to spend 15,000 system points and 50 mission points to exchange for the ‘T3 Brightmoon-class Stargate’ technical blueprint?】
Zhao Chen’s mind stirred.
Exchange!
【Congratulations on obtaining the ‘T3 Brightmoon-class Stargate’ technical blueprint】
【System Points: 1420】
【Mission Points: 35】
After exchanging for the T3 Star Gate technology, Zhao Chen’s system points were almost depleted, and many mission points were also consumed.
But no matter what, possessing his own Star Gate technology represented a huge step forward for the Xiaolong Fleet.
Secretary Allie, who was beside him, saw Zhao Chen say this and did not ask further.
As a Adjutant, her role was only to offer opinions when necessary, but not to speak too much.
“However, there’s still one problem: my star coins don’t seem to be enough.
Two T3 Brightmoon-class Star Gates alone would cost four billion star coins. But now I only have 1.4 billion star coins left, which means a shortfall of 2.6 billion.” Zhao Chen muttered to himself.
In that case, he could only wait for Governor Chu River to pay the final installment of the T3 Flame Dragon-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer construction technology licensing fee.
At the same time, he also needed to personally inspect the future construction sites for the T3 Brightmoon-class Stargate.
On his way back to the Dwarves’ Third Planet, Zhao Chen opened the Star map of the Lion King Star System to select a site for the future T3 Brightmoon-class Stargate.
This site selection was very important; it had to be a concealed location.
Ultimately, Zhao Chen found several suitable locations, all located at the edge of the Lion King Star System, even extending into the galactic ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) fringe space.
Generally, these places were rarely visited, so naturally, no one would expect a Star Gate to be there.
In orbit near the Third Planet.
Zhao Chen looked at the video window in front of him; on the other side was Bakin Tribe Leader, whose face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
He had witnessed the terrifying combat power of the Xiaolong Fleet; the once vast Salamander Tribe Starfleet had lost more than half of its Interstellar Warship in less than an hour.
Before this, Bakin Tribe Leader could not have imagined such a thing.
“Bakin Tribe Leader, I need to return to my interstellar territory for a trip.
But rest assured, I will leave most of the Interstellar Warship here.
Later, my Interstellar Industrial Ship and Interstellar Transport Ship carrying raw material resources will arrive to repair and resupply these damaged Interstellar Warship and protect the safety of the Lion King Star System.”
“That... some of our people... have now decided to go to Commander’s interstellar territory, numbering about fifty thousand.” Bakin Tribe Leader mentioned something at this point.
Zhao Chen’s lips curved into a smile; this was within his expectations.
The battle with the Salamander Tribe not only solidified Zhao Chen’s position in the Lion King Star System but also allowed him to establish greater prestige among the Dwarves.
“Alright, I will arrange for two T2 Moose-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ship to transport these fifty thousand people to my interstellar territory.
If the number of personnel accumulates to a certain amount later, the remaining T2 Moose can also depart.” Zhao Chen said.
“Thank you so much, Commander.” Bakin Tribe Leader expressed his utmost gratitude.
Zhao Chen not only saved the Dwarves but also gave them an additional choice of path.
It was not an exaggeration to call him the benefactor of the Dwarves.
After ending the communication with Bakin Tribe Leader.
Zhao Chen called Charlotte and Secretary Allie for a small meeting.
“Considering the importance of the Lion King Star System to us now.
We temporarily need to assign a fleet to be stationed here, but I need to leave for a while.
Charlotte, you and Allie will stay in the Lion King Star System during this period.
Later, I will dispatch T2 Iron Hammer-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ship and Interstellar Transport Ship carrying raw materials and supplies to support this place and repair the damaged Interstellar Warship.
We will communicate every half day to ensure your safety here.
You must also be careful of potential retaliation from the Salamander Tribe at any time.
Remember! While the Lion King Star System is important, your safety is even more important to me!” Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte and Allie seriously.
Allie looked at Commander with some emotion.
“Commander, please rest assured, during your absence, we will take good care of things here!” Secretary Allie said firmly.
Charlotte nodded slightly to Zhao Chen, indicating that she understood clearly.
After giving some instructions.
Zhao Chen set off without hesitation, alone in a T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser, heading towards the interstellar fringe space.
In order not to alarm the Salamander Tribe and to create the illusion that the T3 Blizzard was still in the Lion King Star System.
Zhao Chen specifically did not use the Lion King Star System’s Star Gate for this return journey. Instead, he first used warp speed, taking an extra day and a half to travel to a nearby Star System, and used its Star Gate to leave the Reef Starfield and return to the Xiaolong Star System.
By the time the T3 Blizzard returned to the Xiaolong Star System, it was already half a month later.
It was now late May.
Zhao Chen first arrived at the Xiao Long Garrison in the North Star System.
The original twelve T2 Iron Hammer here now only had ten T2 Iron Hammer left.
Because two of the T2 Iron Hammer and several Interstellar Transport Ship had already reached the Lion King Star System.
The latest news was that the T2 Iron Hammer had already begun fleet repair operations outside the Dwarves’ Third Planet, and the supplies from the Interstellar Transport Ship were enough to restore the repaired Interstellar Warship to full combat effectiveness.
However, such a deployment also caused some of the original construction plans to be delayed.
