Zhao Chen's breathing seemed to stop for several seconds at this moment.
Phoenix-class Heavy Aircraft Carrier Starship!
A t3 level Phoenix-class Heavy Aircraft Carrier Starship!
This was a terrifying existence, one of the two main types of warships.
Furthermore, as far as Zhao Chen knew, the Starlight Empire only had one t3 level Aircraft Carrier Starship, and it was merely a medium-sized one.
But Zhao Chen's was a Heavy Aircraft Carrier Starship!
What did this mean?
It meant that Zhao Chen's Aircraft Carrier Starship could carry more Interstellar Fighters and Interstellar Drones.
For an Aircraft Carrier Starship, Interstellar Fighters and Interstellar Drones were its fangs and claws!
The more, the better!
Zhao Chen eagerly began to examine the technical data of his precious new acquisition.

Hangar Standard Configuration: Can store 300 T3 Phoenix-class Interstellar Fighters, 30 T3 Fire Phoenix-class Heavy Interstellar Stealth Bombers, 3000 T3 Black Phoenix-class Medium Interstellar Drones, 20 T3 White Phoenix-class Electronic Jamming Interstellar Stealth Drones.
Seeing the series of data descriptions, Zhao Chen's breathing quickened unconsciously, his chest heaving, his face flushed, and his eyes filled with a strong desire.
This t3 level Phoenix-class Heavy Aircraft Carrier Starship was simply too perfect!
First, its defense.
It was equipped with the Star Shield system that T3 Interstellar Warships also possessed! But it had one completely different aspect.
That was, it didn't just have one Star Shield; it had a full six independent Star Shields!
Although this was not as comprehensive as the omnidirectional Star Shield of a T4 starship, it was already far superior to a single Star Shield.
In addition, it was equipped with Starship close-in defense guns and defensive intercept missiles, demonstrating extreme caution!
In terms of its equipped Starship weapons, they were also quite terrifying.
First was the Interstellar Fighter, which Zhao Chen owned for the first time. The difference between an Interstellar Fighter and an Interstellar Drone was simple: Interstellar Fighters were piloted, with Interstellar Fighter pilots.
The advantages were a large payload, the ability to independently perform various missions, quick reactions on the battlefield, and great adaptability.
However, this also meant that each t3 level Interstellar Fighter was much larger and more expensive than an Interstellar Drone; therefore, their numbers were not very high.
The T3 Phoenix carried three hundred T3 Phoenix-class Interstellar Fighters, just enough to meet the configuration of a large combat formation.
In addition, there were thirty T3 Fire Phoenix-class Heavy Interstellar Stealth Bombers!
Interstellar Stealth Bombers were a technology that the Starlight Empire had been researching, but they had not yet succeeded in miniaturizing the stealth system.
In the Galactic Alliance, currently only the Holy Radiance Empire possessed this technology!
Just think about the astonishing combat performance of the T3 Phantom Assassin-class Light Interstellar Stealth Bomber before.
And then think about this T3 Fire Phoenix-class Heavy Interstellar Stealth Bomber!
The scene, just thinking about it, made Zhao Chen's heart surge.
If the enemy was unprepared, a single round of attack would be enough to annihilate any T3 Interstellar Warship!
They were the most terrifying assassins on the Interstellar battlefield.
If they cooperated with the T3 Phantom Assassin-class Light Interstellar Stealth Bomber, it would simply be a match made in heaven!
It couldn't be more beautiful!
Besides that, the T3 Phoenix's Interstellar Drones were also a force not to be underestimated!
A full 3000 T3 Black Phoenix-class Medium Interstellar Drones.
This number!
On the battlefield, it would definitely astound the world.
Moreover, they were comprehensive Interstellar Drones, combining the performance of Interstellar Interceptors and Interstellar Fighters.
In addition, it was equipped with 20 T3 White Phoenix-class Electronic Jamming Interstellar Stealth Drones, which were functional Interstellar Stealth Drones.
When approaching enemy Starships, they could affect the enemy Starship's electronic fire control system.
When facing a T1 Interstellar Warship, they could even directly paralyze its entire internal electronic system!
They were definitely helpful assistants on the battlefield!
“Such a T3 Phoenix has 3,350 Interstellar Fighters and Interstellar Drones!” Zhao Chen swallowed.
In terms of battlefield dominance, the T3 Blizzard definitely couldn't compare to the T3 Phoenix!
Without considering defense, with the fleet standards like those in the Reef Starfield before, one T3 Phoenix would be enough to slaughter an Starfleet of three hundred Interstellar Warship!
Zhao Chen calmed his somewhat restless emotions. He checked the construction requirements.
First, it must be built by a t3 level Interstellar Industrial Ship; a T2 Interstellar Industrial Ship simply could not meet the standard.
If built using the T3 Furnace-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ship that Zhao Chen currently possessed, the construction period for a single ship would be two months!
However, multiple T3 Furnaces could simultaneously undertake construction to speed up the process.
The cost was also extremely terrifying.
The cost of a single t3 level Phoenix-class Heavy Aircraft Carrier Starship was as high as 70 million star coins, and this was only the cost of the hull. Equipped with all Interstellar Fighters and Interstellar Drones, the total cost was as high as 100 million star coins!
This was equivalent to seven or eight times the cost of a T3 Blizzard!
Zhao Chen could be sure that this was definitely the most expensive T3 Interstellar Warship known in the Starlight Empire and even the Galactic Alliance!
But!
What if it was expensive!
I'm going to build it!
Zhao Chen's eyes were bloodshot with excitement; who wouldn't want such ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) an Aircraft Carrier Starship?
Before leaving, Zhao Chen immediately urgently summoned Lilith and Chief Engineer Annie to hold an early meeting about the next quarter's construction plan.
“Wuwuwu... Commander... I’m still sleeping... I told you, not sleeping well will stunt my growth.
This counts as overtime... You have to pay overtime...” Annie was still wearing a pink nightgown and bear slippers.
Her eyes were hazy with sleep, she kept yawning, and her body swayed as if she might fall at any moment.
If the three of them weren't in a holographic video conference, Zhao Chen estimated he would have gone up and pinched her chubby face for a little artificial wake-up service.
“I’ll send you a Starship technical blueprint. Take a look,” Zhao Chen said directly.
“Starship technical blueprint? Which one?” Annie squinted, her head swaying.
“The t3 level Phoenix-class Heavy Aircraft Carrier Starship.”
“The T3 Phoenix-class...” Annie instantly seemed to have an epiphany, and her whole being became alert.
“An Aircraft Carrier Starship?” Annie looked at Zhao Chen in disbelief. If it weren't a virtual setting, she probably would have pounced on Zhao Chen directly by now.
