Zhao Chen shot up, looking at the number in disbelief.
It really was '4', not '3'.
The system actually gave him a T4 starship?
But why was the name so strange and hard to pronounce: T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship.
Zhao Chen began to meticulously examine the Starship's information.
What he saw was astonishing; the amount of information was simply terrifying!
The T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship is a functional Starship, capable of manufacturing clone bodies internally and imprinting the life information of the host's crew members within them.
Once a crew member dies, they can be resurrected within the T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship.
The crew member's consciousness can be fully revived in a clone body that is exactly identical to their original body.
It can be directly described as 'Rebirth', except it uses a 'clone body' made according to one's own genes.
"Doesn't this mean I possess an...undead army!" Zhao Chen said, somewhat incredulously.
Clone technology was not nonexistent in this universe.
But like advanced artificial intelligence technology, it was a technology strictly prohibited from research by the Galactic Alliance, as it violated the Order of biological laws.
Just think about it, the resources in various Galaxies are already insufficient.
If you were to create clones that could continuously revive, wouldn't that be outrageous?
Furthermore, how would one differentiate between a clone and the original, and how would they be handled if both existed simultaneously?
These were all a series of social problems.
Therefore, it became a prohibited research technology.
However, for Zhao Chen, due to the system's black technology, it was only possible to use clones to revive crew members when they were in a deceased state.
This avoided some troubles.
But Zhao Chen was very clear that once the fact that he possessed this technology was exposed, it would definitely not be as simple as owning a T3 Interstellar Warship or having the technology to develop a t4 level Starship.
He would become a heretic to the entire Galactic Alliance, and even if Governor-General Chu He wanted to protect him then, he might not be able to!
After all, no one wanted to face a man who possessed an 'undead army'.
But for Zhao Chen, this was a huge temptation!
Before this, Zhao Chen had considered a question.
As the scale of battles expanded, the Owl Dragon Fleet would inevitably experience combat casualties in the future.
Could Zhao Chen accept the sacrifice of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of crew members?
If crew members like Charlotte, Annie, and Lilith were to be sacrificed, could Zhao Chen accept it?
Zhao Chen already had the answer in his heart.
T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship!
No matter how much this Interstellar Warship defied human ethics and norms, even if it was just for Zhao Chen's selfish reasons, he would build it at all costs.
Of course, before that.
Zhao Chen first needed to possess sufficiently powerful strength.
How strong did he need to be?
At least to the point where he could contend with three imperial civilizations.
Zhao Chen began to check the construction requirements for this T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship.
First was the construction resources, which required a full 10 billion star coins worth of raw materials!
This price was truly expensive, several times more than the estimated construction cost of any T4 starship currently in service that Zhao Chen knew of!
Next were the construction conditions.
It required at least a t3 level Interstellar Industrial Ship or a Starship factory with t3 level construction capabilities to build this T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship.
In other words, Zhao Chen would not be able to build this Interstellar Warship in the short term.
"I need to quickly exchange for a t3 level Interstellar Industrial Ship and then find a way to accumulate enough raw materials and supplies," Zhao Chen secretly decided.
No matter what, this T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship must be built.
This was a guarantee for Zhao Chen's Owl Dragon Fleet.
...
One day later
T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser · Bridge
"This is the list of crew members we recruited from North Star Academy this time, totaling five hundred ninety-three people.
Over 95% of them are civilians, and the rest are also some impoverished nobles without titles.
After all, they are all female, and even if they return to their own families, they will be arranged to be married off in the future." Zhao Wan'er reported to Zhao Chen the information about the recruitment at North Star Academy this time.
Don't underestimate these mere six hundred people; these ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) are all students who can graduate from North Star Academy. In terms of talent alone, they are much stronger than those Half-Beastman crew members.
What they lacked was only practical combat experience.
"Very good, these nearly six hundred students can all become the future seedlings of our Owl Dragon Fleet." Zhao Chen was very satisfied.
As for whether these nearly six hundred girls would leave the Owl Dragon Fleet in the future?
Just kidding.
These little darlings, once they entered Zhao Chen's Peach Blossom Paradise, were destined to be so happy they would forget to return home, would they still be willing to leave?
"Have they all boarded the Starship?" Zhao Chen asked.
"They are already boarding. They are temporarily arranged in the T3 Blizzard's dormitory. Although it might be a bit crowded, the living environment is already quite good.
At the latest, everyone will have arrived by tonight." Zhao Wan'er said.
"Alright then, we will officially depart tomorrow and return to the Owl Dragon Star System." Zhao Chen said.
This time, he wanted to bring all four remaining T2 Iron Hammer-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ships back to the Owl Dragon Star System.
"Mm." Zhao Wan'er nodded. She looked in the direction of North Star Academy, feeling a bit reluctant.
But at the same time, she also felt a hint of excited anticipation for the future.
North Star Starship Military Academy
"I didn't expect Wan'er to take a leave of absence! Now I'm the only one left in the Academy?" Xue Xiaoxiao pouted, looking unhappily at Su Lan, who was packing her luggage in the dormitory.
Su Lan said while tidying her belongings: "Wan'er taking a leave of absence, although a bit unexpected, is understandable.
After all, her brother has such good Interstellar Warship and resources.
Wan'er herself has already learned plenty of theoretical knowledge in the Academy; what she lacks is practical experience.
Compared to staying in the Academy, she is more suited to be with her brother."
"This is making me want to go find Wan'er's brother too... Do you think it's still not too late if I sign up now to join Wan'er's brother's Owl Dragon Fleet?!" Xue Xiaoxiao blurted out this thought.
Su Lan gave Xue Xiaoxiao an eye-roll: "With your status, can you easily join someone else's fleet? Wouldn't your father try to fight Zhao Chen to the death?
That would just cause Zhao Chen a heap of trouble.
I advise you to just stay in the Academy obediently.
If you get bored alone, just video call us, and during holidays, you can go find Wan'er or come play with me."
Xue Xiaoxiao pouted, still very unhappy.
Suddenly, Xue Xiaoxiao clapped her hands sharply.
"My dear, what's wrong with you now?" Su Lan looked helplessly at this little ancestor.
Xue Xiaoxiao said with a wronged expression: "I almost forgot, I haven't even touched Zhao Chen's big guns yet! The T3 Blizzard... and that t2 zero blizzard...
Wuwuwu... I've been thinking about them for so long! If I miss them this time, I don't know when I'll have another chance..."
Su Lan gave Xue Xiaoxiao another eye-roll and ignored her.
