It's better to erupt in silence than to perish in silence!
With a sob in her voice, Annie walked to Nana's side: "Nana, don't be fooled by this giant spider."
She's here to steal our jobs!
"Stealing jobs?" Nana looked at Annie suspiciously. "Who told you that?"
“I...I...” Anne was speechless for a moment, as if the commander had never said anything like that since he appeared here with the giant spider.
"Sis, is your paranoia starting again?"
"Mom said before that you have too much of a sense of crisis and told you to see a psychologist, but you just wouldn't listen." Nana comforted Annie like an older sister.
He also took a lollipop out of his pocket, unwrapped it, and handed it to Annie.
Annie took the lollipop, licked it, and her brows relaxed considerably.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen could tell that Nana had already mastered a set of techniques to manipulate her older sister.
Nana isn't greedy and doesn't particularly like snacks, so the lollipops she always carries are naturally for Annie.
"And what you're saying about stealing jobs is completely unfounded."
Why did the commander want to get rid of you?
Is it because Elise and the others came?
Think about it carefully. Isn't our current industrial system already overloaded in terms of skilled workers? Even if we have goddess academies to train talent.
However, the speed at which we are expanding, and the speed at which the Starship production program is growing, far exceeds the number of existing technical engineers.
I had mentioned this issue to the commander before.
If we cannot obtain this supply from the outside, our industrial production order will soon be in serious trouble.
The commander assured me that it would be resolved within three months.
Unexpectedly, the commander actually summoned the Spider Queen tribe!
With the addition of the Spider Queen tribe, do you know how much our pressure will be relieved?
Moreover, unlike our interstellar dwarves, the Spider Queen's tribe has a vastly different population.
Elise, the Spider Queen, said calmly from the side, "To date, our Spider Queen tribe has a total population of 130 billion."
Our spider queen tribe also has males, but we are a matriarchal society. Male spiders mostly serve as low-level workers. They are numerous but not very intelligent, so they are unlikely to undertake medium to high-difficulty industrial production tasks.
For your Dragon Legion... I remember that the recruitment requirement was that applicants must be female, right?
We perfectly meet the requirements.
We can provide around 10 billion junior and intermediate technical engineers.
Ten billion?
Although this is not a huge number, for the Xiaolong Galaxy and its manufacturing industry, it is absolutely a "gift from heaven".
Combined with the Spider Queen tribe's powerful industrial production talent, a single spider can serve as the work of several dwarf craftsmen.
This will definitely allow the industrial production system of the Xiaolong Galaxy to achieve a huge leap forward.
After hearing all this, Annie looked at Elise, the Spider Queen, with a pitiful expression: "You really didn't come here to... steal Annie's job?"
Elise, the Spider Queen, couldn't help but chuckle: "Why would I steal your job?"
I have learned about the interstellar dwarves. You also have very good industrial production capabilities, but your talents lie more in research and development, as well as extremely precise industrial production work.
Although our Spider Queen tribe is highly efficient, we have significant problems in some of the more delicate aspects of manufacturing.
I've also had some experience with research and development. Our Spider Queen clan has its own advanced research and development department, but it's very inefficient.
And to be honest, I prefer the manufacturing process, watching brand-new, glamorous interstellar warships being produced in my hands.
I like this feeling.
"Then... what did you mean by what you just said?" Annie pouted.
Spider Queen Elise covered her mouth and chuckled: "Because before we came, the lord said that his chief engineer was a very technically capable person, but quite dull in other aspects."
If we can work together in the future, I hope I can be more accommodating to her.
The feeling you give me is like that of a child in our tribe who hasn't grown up yet, very cute.
I couldn't resist teasing him.
"I...I'm not a child who hasn't grown up!" Annie put her hands on her hips, but glanced at her chest guiltily.
I comforted myself, saying it will grow longer.
"Okay, joke over."
We'll go to another place next.
Lilith, Nana, you two make the arrangements.
"Let's go to platform 0117," Zhao Chen instructed.
Upon hearing this arrangement, Lilith's expression changed slightly. She walked to Zhao Chen's side and whispered, "Commander."
Platform 0117 is conducting a top-level classified project. Taking them there...wouldn't that be...inappropriate?
"Carry out my instructions," Zhao Chen said again.
Although Lilith was somewhat worried, she knew that once the commander uttered a second sentence, it was serious and brooked no argument.
"Please follow us." Lilith and Nana led the way.
Meanwhile, Anne and Elise, the Spider Queen, started chatting, with Elise even discussing her vision of working together in the future.
It has to be said that Elise, the Spider Queen, is really good at'soothing children'.
Simply put, if I were to join in the future, I would be responsible for overseeing all aspects of production and manufacturing, while Annie would only need to finalize the major production tasks in the office.
Anne's eyes lit up when she heard this.
The harpy Aviana continued to follow the group like an invisible person, with a very low profile.
Zhao Chen glanced at Elise the Spider Queen and Aviana the Harpy. In his mind, there was actually a line of numbers above their heads.
【Elise the Spider Queen: Conquest Index 80%】
【Harpie Aviana: Conquest Index 60%】
This is probably a side function of that system task, allowing Zhao Chen to see the index of the target.
Although Elise the Spider Queen is currently very interested in the Owl Dragon system, this has not yet truly won her over.
Therefore, Zhao Chen made special arrangements for the following itinerary.
He has already prepared his next two trump cards.
I could definitely take down Elise the Spider Queen and Aviana the Harpy.
"Commander, how did you know I ate crayfish?" Annie turned around and asked curiously.
"There's no mark on your lips, but your breath smells like lobster." Zhao Chen rolled his eyes.
Annie suddenly realized that this was where the problem lay; she would have to be more careful next time.
The group boarded a mini shuttle, because the T4 Gemini heavy interstellar industrial ship was so large that walking was definitely not an option, and even a hover elevator could not meet the required efficiency.
That's why this mini shuttle was created, which can quickly transport people inside industrial ships to their target locations.
Half a minute later.
The mini shuttle slows down and hovers.
This means that Zhao Chen and the others have also arrived at this destination.
Elise, the Spider Queen who was just chatting and laughing with Annie and whom Annie regarded as her right-hand woman, had her gaze drawn to the interstellar warship outside the porthole.
That shouldn't be called an interstellar warship; to be precise, it was an interstellar warship that was not yet completed.
You can also see its keel.
But that ship was extremely large!
It was larger than anything she had ever seen before. Even though it was unfinished, Elise's intuition told her that this interstellar warship was... extraordinary.
"What is this?" Spider Queen Elise asked, her breathing rapid and her eyes bloodshot as she looked at Zhao Chen.
The harpy Avina also cast a curious glance; she had never seen such a majestic interstellar warship before.
Just by looking at it, you can feel a terrifying pressure.
"A Hades-class interstellar dreadnought." After saying the name, Zhao Chen added two more words.
