The near-T7 interstellar warships that were just launched are already being planned for sale.

Secretary Lilith is now quite bold, but this is the result of careful consideration.

The first thing to consider is the level of threat posed by the Holy Elf Empire. At least for now, the Holy Elf Empire poses a very low threat, especially considering their self-imposed isolation.

Currently, it is extremely difficult for them to build a near-T7 level interstellar warship.

And a near-T7 interstellar warship like this, which cost 20 quadrillion star coins to build, should be able to sell for tens of thousands of trillion star coins, even if the Holy Elf Empire needs to sign some benefit agreements.

After all, the value of a starship of this caliber cannot be described simply by its monetary worth.

It could be any astronomical price if Zhao Chen wanted to.

"How much will our Dragon Star Empire earn in the coming year?" Since the topic of the empire's annual revenue was brought up, Zhao Chen became somewhat curious.

Although in recent years, as the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has grown stronger, Zhao Chen has gradually relinquished control over financial matters. After all, entrusting professional matters to professionals has always been Zhao Chen's basic principle.

Just pay a little attention to some important time points, or listen to Lilith's reports.

In short, most of the time it's just enough to produce enough interstellar warships to fight one battle, but not enough to wage a long war of attrition.

These are basically the cases.

"In our current development plan for the next year."

Our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire earns 50,000 trillion star coins annually, the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group will provide us with 20,000 trillion star coins, and the Stone Kingdom will provide us with 40,000 trillion star coins.

The two interstellar powers of the Cancer Interstellar Civilization, along with the Mohadis Interstellar Empire and the Fire Emblem Interstellar Alliance, have provided us with a total of 50,000 trillion Star Coins.

This piece totals 160,000 trillion stars.

The revenue from this area actually far exceeds the initial plan we set, and the actual growth rate may far exceed our expectations within the year. The data will be updated in real time at that time.

This is just the normal profit.

To date, the military procurement and export orders signed for the next year have already reached 10 trillion Star Coins.

We anticipate that after we launch this near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, although no interstellar faction will be able to afford this interstellar warship, it will serve as a brand and advertisement.

This will allow more people to see our JF-17 series interstellar warships.

The number of orders will increase again, and it is expected to eventually reach around 200 trillion Star Coins.

In this way, our empire's operating budget can barely break even.

Secretary Lilith paused here, then said with a serious expression, "There is a major destabilizing factor at this point: the invasion of the universe that devours civilizations."

The instability that could turn our country into a battlefield at any moment should they launch an invasion would have a significant impact on our production and trade.

Furthermore, the losses incurred during combat will also be a burden on our Dragon Star Empire.

Based on our current calculations, the Xiaolong Empire's normal military war materials reserves can meet the needs of our front-line combat fleet for two months of regular operations.

Secretary Lilith truly embodied the role of a housekeeper to the fullest.

Every aspect has been taken into consideration.

"It's already quite good that you've managed to do this much."

"Next, it's up to us to operate on this foundation." Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte beside him: "Your military is under a lot of pressure."

We must not only maintain the development of several interstellar civilizations and universes under our control.

At the same time, we must guard against attacks that devour civilizations.

You need to make all necessary preparations and contingency plans.

Be prepared for all possible scenarios.

Marshal Charlotte nodded and said, "Don't worry, we have made all the necessary preparations."

Our military staff is also making some plans, which may buy some time and space for our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

However, it is still in its initial stage. I will report back to you when there are concrete developments.

Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction. His men were all very good and each one was dedicated to their duties.

Zhao Chen walked toward the two chief engineers.

"It's a pity that Chief Engineer Elise isn't here today. Please tell her for me that work is important, but she also needs to take a break." Zhao Chen looked at Chief Engineer Nana and asked her to pass on the message.

Only Chief Engineer Annie and Chief Engineer Nana were present today.

Elise, the Spider Queen who is in charge of front-line production, is still at her post.

He only made a brief appearance at the New Year's Eve banquet before returning home.

Her idea was to give her subordinates as much vacation and rest time as possible during the New Year period, but at the same time, production tasks should not be affected.

Therefore, as the chief engineer in charge of front-line production, she naturally needs to personally oversee everything to ensure that no accidents occur on any of the production lines.

"I will pass on the message," Chief Engineer Nana nodded and said.

Zhao Chen patted Chief Engineer Annie on the shoulder beside him: "Although you are not working on the front line, few people know about your hard work and dedication."

But I am well aware of your value and importance.

In the coming year, I hope you will all continue to demonstrate your abilities in your respective roles!

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will do our duty to ensure the successful completion of all production tasks!" Chief Engineer Nana stood tall and proud, with the air of a passionate warrior charging into battle.

Meanwhile, Chief Engineer Anne, standing nearby, responded lazily, looking so sleepy that she seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

This wasn't because she was too tired, but because she had eaten too much and was feeling a bit sleepy after eating.

Zhao Chen lowered his head and whispered in Annie's ear, "Our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has always had a system of rewards and punishments."

I will continue to keep an eye on you, and if you do well, I will naturally reward you.

But if I find someone slacking off, I might take back some of the rewards I originally gave them, such as some interstellar Eden ships.

But I believe that our outstanding chief engineers are all strict with themselves, right?

Zhao Chen's words made Chief Engineer Annie shudder and instantly sober up.

She stared wide-eyed at the Dragon Emperor beside her, as if looking at a 'demon'.

What this guy just said was definitely a threat!

Absolutely!

............

For the next five days, Emperor Xiaolong led his Imperial Guard fleet and the five near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts on a tour of various parts of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Almost everywhere he went and wherever he stopped, he attracted many people to follow and watch.

Some people admire the JF-17 Emperor, some want to witness the glory of the JF-17 fleet, and others are curious about what a near-T7 level interstellar warship looks like.

After all, this is a near-T7 level interstellar warship, and it is the only known near-T7 level interstellar warship that has been publicly revealed among the known cosmic civilizations!

Zhao Chen's first destination was the capital star system of the Starry Kingdom.

This is, after all, where the original JF-17 fleet started, although it has now become part of the JF-17 interstellar empire.

However, with humans as the primary race and due to their unique background, they have always been a crucial piece of the puzzle in the map of the Dragon Star Empire.

Here, Queen Qin Xiaolei and the ministers of the Starry Kingdom waited once again.

In the largest starport of the capital star of the Starry Kingdom, they watched as the enormous, near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought slowly approached.

The moment they saw this interstellar warship, they could feel an incredibly terrifying aura of pressure.

It was as if this was not just a simple interstellar warship, but a terrifying interstellar behemoth!

The Starport berth began docking with the T7-class Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought via its jet bridge.

"This is the most advanced interstellar warship of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire. It's truly magnificent."

"Who can argue with that? Besides, this is a mass-produced interstellar warship; although it's only a near-T7 and not a true T7-class interstellar warship."

But within this small territory, it's enough to solidify the supreme position of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire.

"I really want to own such an interstellar warship. Even if I could only be its captain for a day, I would die without regrets."

"Then you'd be more reliable if you just dreamed."

I've heard that the captain of this near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought must hold at least the rank of lieutenant general or higher in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire!

That's someone who could serve as a legion commander, or even a fleet group deputy commander, within the Wyvern Interstellar Empire!

The waiting officials were naturally buzzing with discussion, unable to contain their excitement.

The connecting bridges were completed quickly.

A group of soldiers slowly 'flew out' from the other end of the T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, because the corridor itself was very long, and it would take at least ten minutes to walk there.

We don't have that much time to waste here.

Therefore, each soldier has a simple flying device under their feet, which allows them to fly at low speeds.

Soon, the interstellar marines appeared before the assembled officials, their sharp gazes instantly making the atmosphere in the room more tense.

There was much less talking.

Then everyone saw a larger flying platform emerge from the other side of the near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought.

A squad of guards stood around, protecting the Emperor of the Dragon in the middle.

The aircraft slowly drifted over.

The moment the JF-17 Emperor was unveiled, the scene fell completely silent.

That's the Dragon Emperor!
