After giving his instructions, Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair and began to 'rest with his eyes closed'.
In reality, he had opened the system interface, eager to 'favor' his little darling.
【Challenge mission reward claimed, gained 9000 system points】
Zhao Chen's system points immediately began to rise.
【System Points: 9500】
This was not the most important thing; Zhao Chen's focus now was on another generous system reward.
【Side mission reward claimed, obtained 'T4 Hui Guang-class Star Jump Ships' technical blueprint】
Zhao Chen was stunned.
Interstellar Warp Ship?
What kind of strange ship type was this? He had never seen it in the Starlight Empire's learning materials.
Zhao Chen checked its detailed data.
【Hui Guang-class Interstellar Jump Ship
Ship Type: Interstellar Support Starship
Technology Level: T4
Hull Armor Strength: 3600 units - 3800 units
Star Shield Energy Value: 30000 units
Warp Engine: Level 8 Warp Engine
Length: 2800 meters
Mass: 890,000 tons
Crew Capacity: 500 people
Starship Weapons: None
Special Performance: Huiguang-type Warp Gate】
Zhao Chen frowned slightly. The basic data of the Starship didn't seem particularly impressive, and what was most peculiar was that it wasn't equipped with any combat weapons, not even the most basic close-in defense guns!
Even the T3 Andromeda-class Interstellar Medical Ship had its own close-in defense guns and could defend itself to a certain extent.
The only unique aspect was possibly the 'Huiguang-type Warp Gate', and Zhao Chen focused on this Starship technology.
What he saw left Zhao Chen flabbergasted.
【Huiguang-type Warp Gate: The wormhole-type Huiguang-class Warp Engine equipped on the T4 Hui Guang-class Star Jump Ships can temporarily open a small Warp Star Gate, allowing an Starfleet of a certain scale to perform group Interstellar Warp.】
As the name suggests, although this T4 Hui Guang-class Star Jump Ships itself has no combat capability, it can allow an Starfleet to appear anywhere at any time!
It is not a simple Starship; it can be called a mobile Star Gate!
Zhao Chen's breathing quickened slightly at this moment, because he clearly realized the value of this Starship.
Its strategic significance even far surpasses any T4 combat-type Interstellar Warship!
Just think about it.
You're at home, hugging your wife, eating, drinking, and humming a tune.
Suddenly, a group of Interstellar Warship appears above your head!
Surprised?
Unexpected?
Dare to move?
This is simply a strategic weapon for blitzkrieg and long-range surprise attacks!
Zhao Chen enthusiastically continued to examine more data on this T4 Hui Guang-class Star Jump Ships.
His first focus, naturally, was how many Interstellar Warship it could transport at once.
There is a quantity limit, and it is also related to the level of the Interstellar Warship.
If all were T3-class Interstellar Warship, a single T4 Hui Guang-class Star Jump Ships could transport approximately one thousand T3 Interstellar Warship, equivalent to three legion-level Starfleet!
A single use consumes energy worth approximately ten million star coins!
This is truly quite expensive, arguably the most luxurious 'Star Gate travel'!
At the same time, after one use, it takes about a week to reset, cool down, and recharge.
Zhao Chen glanced at the warp distance; there was no specific limit, but if the distance was too far, the number of Starfleet that could be transported would also decrease.
But at least for now, it can still jump around freely within the Galactic Alliance region.
After looking at its performance, he had to look at some substantial things.
First, the cost.
A T4 starship, and a functional Starship at that, its cost was simply 'expensive'.
The cost of a single ship was as high as five billion star coins!
"Damn it, that's almost as much as one of my T3 Star Gate!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart.
With the continuous advancement of technology, the cost of T3 Interstellar Warship and T4 starship has also increased significantly.
Perhaps this is why there has been no public sale of T4 starship to date.
After all, if they were put up for sale, the price of a single ship would probably be as high as tens of billions of star coins!
Aside from the Empire itself and a very few top financial groups and nobles, probably few people could afford it; most are self-researched and self-produced, or jointly researched and produced by several parties.
Expensive is expensive, but its strategic significance is undeniable.
Zhao Chen glanced at its construction requirements.
Fortunately, its construction requirements are not high; even a T3 Interstellar Industrial Ship can undertake it.
If undertaken by the T3 Furnace-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ship currently under Zhao Chen's command, it would take approximately ten months.
However, if multiple T3 Interstellar Industrial Ship were built simultaneously, the construction time could be shortened to two months.
"We'll build one next year!" Zhao Chen made a firm decision. This kind of Interstellar Warship is very useful at critical moments, whether for escape or attack.
Especially in terms of offense, even some combat missions that might have been impossible to complete can be carried out with its help.
While Zhao Chen was meticulously studying this T4 Hui Guang-class Star Jump Ships, the battle outside was almost over.
As per Zhao Chen's instructions, a large number of slaves were all gathered in the captured Interstellar Warship.
It was the fifth hour of the Xiaolong Fleet's attack on the Slave Trade Starport.
Lilith reported that all work was completed.
"A total of 110,000 slaves and over a hundred captured Interstellar Warship have all been prepared.
We only left t2 star battleship, so we can ensure that these Interstellar Warship won't hold us back when we retreat," Lilith reported.
【System Mission 'Rescue Imprisoned Slaves'
Mission Content: There are imprisoned slaves within the Slave Trade Starport and among the surrounding slave merchant Starfleet.
By rescuing a certain number, activate mission completion.
If completion exceeds 90%, you will receive a T3-class Starship technical blueprint!
System mission completed, completion 96%, can claim mission reward】
Zhao Chen received another mission reward notification, and now he was completely satisfied.
It was worth all the planning he had done before, all for the sake of completing these two system missions.
"Then we can prepare to withdraw," Zhao Chen instructed.
"Yes." Lilith began to arrange the withdrawal route.
The Xiaolong Fleet and the captured t2 star battleship began to retreat along the route they had come.
At the same time, Zhao Chen continued to sit in the captain's chair, claiming his second mission reward.
【System mission reward claimed, completion over 90% received a 'T3 Triceratops-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigate' technical blueprint; completion over 95%, received 5000 system points, received 20 mission points】
