"Commander, General Engineer Annie is here," Lilith reminded him from the side.
The Bridge's light gate opened, and Annie walked in with a cheerful stride.
"Commander," Annie walked up to Zhao Chen, saluted him, and looked at him with her large, watery eyes.
"Annie, I have construction plans for three Interstellar Warship here. Take a look first.
Then, while you're at it, formulate our production and manufacturing plan for the next three months," Zhao Chen said.
"Three more?" Annie was startled. She looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously, "They're not all t3 level, are they?"
Zhao Chen shook his head.
Annie finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, "I thought you were bringing out three more T3 Interstellar Warships. Thankfully, they're T2-class Interstellar Warship..."
"One of them is a T4-class interstellar warship," Zhao Chen said.
Annie's expression instantly froze. She looked at the data for the three Interstellar Warship that the Commander had projected in front of her.
T4 Hui Guang-class Star Jump Ships
T3 Triceratops-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigate
T3 Virgo-class heavy interstellar supply ship
Annie looked at Zhao Chen with a bitter expression, complaining, "Commander... your speed is a bit too fast.
To build that T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship for you, I worked overtime to study and finally mastered the production data for that interstellar warship.
Now you've brought out another T4... What is this... Hui Guang-class Interstellar Jump Ship? I've never even heard of it."
"Let's work hard together. If you don't understand anything, I'll help you," Zhao Chen said.
Annie crossed her arms, looking like she wouldn't believe him even if she died, "Commander, I'd believe you if you said anything else, but this? Do you think Annie is stupid?
Which time did you promise to help, and which time weren't you a hands-off boss?
And with all sorts of excuses!
In the end, wasn't it me working overtime to meet the deadline?"
Uh...
Zhao ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Chen thought back, and it seemed that was indeed the case.
However, most of the time, Zhao Chen was indeed tied up, always playing the role of a 'firefighter,' going wherever he was needed.
"This time, I promise, I promise that as long as there are no accidents, I will definitely help you complete this construction mission together!" Zhao Chen vowed.
"What good is your promise? You're the boss, and we're just employees..." Annie pouted, looking aggrieved.
"The T3 Phoenix's Starship Mess Hall has good food. Shall we go there to discuss the next steps? It's my treat," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Annie's eyes immediately lit up, "Actually, I'm quite interested in discussing work!"
A few minutes later, Zhao Chen and Annie arrived at the Starship Mess Hall.
Although Annie participated in the construction of the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship and was familiar with most areas, this was her first time visiting the operational T3 Phoenix-class Starship Mess Hall.
The entire Starship Mess Hall had a completely different level of environment, even surpassing the T3 Blizzard's Starship Mess Hall!
Here, there were enclosed private dining rooms where you could do your own thing, offering ample privacy.
"Welcome to Phoenix No. 1 Restaurant. May I help you?"
As Zhao Chen and Annie walked into the Starship Mess Hall, a floating screen appeared in front of each of them, displaying today's menu.
Here, there was no need to order at the counter; you could simply operate the screen directly.
This was quite a good piece of news for Annie.
Annie was currently looking at the dishes in front of her with great interest. She glanced at Zhao Chen, "This..."
"Order whatever you want, as long as you don't waste it. It's my treat," Zhao Chen said.
Annie's eyes lit up, and she began ordering without hesitation, her hands moving so fast that Zhao Chen couldn't even see what she was ordering.
Zhao Chen chose a private room seat, as the matters they needed to discuss were relatively confidential.
As Annie approached the seat, it automatically lowered, allowing Annie to sit down easily, and then the seat automatically rose.
The surrounding virtual projections could also be chosen freely.
Annie made a selection and finally chose a 'Candy House' theme, with everything around them in pink.
Zhao Chen looked at the pink table, the pink chairs, and the pink virtual images around them. Why did he feel so unnatural?
If a song like 'Pink Memories' started playing at this moment... Zhao Chen would get goosebumps.
"First, take a look at this T4 Hui Guang-class Interstellar Jump Ship. This interstellar warship is currently very important to our Xiaolong Fleet.
We must produce one! Of course, if we can produce two, that would be even better," Zhao Chen said.
If they had two, they could not only launch lightning raids but also return quickly after the Battle ended!
Annie began to study it carefully, and what she saw was astounding.
"Group Interstellar Warp?" Annie was dumbfounded.
She looked at Zhao Chen opposite her, then at the technical description of this Starship. This black technology was truly terrifying.
Although Annie was not skilled in interstellar warfare, she could also see the terrifying role this interstellar warship would play on the battlefield.
"I need to understand this in more detail first," Annie began to study carefully, and Zhao Chen also guided her like a teacher from the side.
Time passed bit by bit.
An entire afternoon passed just like that.
Annie rubbed her temples. Learning new Starship knowledge was quite mentally taxing, and she had only roughly understood some construction requirements; many things she had only scratched the surface of.
To understand them thoroughly, she would need a lot of time for research.
This made her admire Zhao Chen even more. Although Zhao Chen often slacked off and acted as a hands-off boss, his professional ability in this area was truly astonishing.
Based on the information she had understood, Annie formulated a simple construction outline and said, "I have basically understood the construction requirements. Next is to arrange the production capacity for the next three months.
Currently, we have six T3 Furnace-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ships and thirty T2 Iron Hammer-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ships.
First, I plan to expand the T3 Furnace, adding four more to reach a total of ten T3 Furnaces.
Because our original plan to build the T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship required five T3 Furnaces to be built simultaneously, our current T3 Furnace supply is severely insufficient.
First, in the first month, we will use all available production capacity to build T3 Furnaces, which can complete the expansion plan for four ships.
By then, we will have ten T3 Furnaces in hand. Although this number is still not very large, it can barely meet our construction needs for the first quarter."
