Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 328: Depart at 319.
Time was on the side of the Star Alliance; with each passing day, their power grew stronger. Their exceptional construction capabilities meant that not only could the Star Alliance build more warships, but it also continuously accumulated societal wealth and cultural capital.
"In another three weeks, several shipyards in the Eden Galaxy will provide the Universe Army with a new batch of warships, including our latest design, the Prestige-class battleship cruiser. The Universe Army will certainly gain a significant boost," he said.
After inspecting the Eden Galaxy, Bai Zhongqi prepared to travel to the Sirius Galaxy aboard a warship and would not return to Earth. From the Sirius Galaxy, he would leave the territory of the Star Alliance through the Danlu Interstellar Cloud and head to the third base established by Teizene for invading Earth, located 271 light-years away on Lingge Star.
Bai Zhongqi had nearly completed his post-war duties. The other affairs could be handled by the Star Alliance government. He had already planned the formation of the Universe Army, and Xiao Yu’s capability was no less than Xu Lanzhou’s. Previously, the Universe Army produced warships on a large scale in a few classes, with more classes but fewer ships in each. Now, Bai Zhongqi wanted to experiment with different configurations of warships to see their effects on the battlefield, especially since he wanted to verify some of the newly recovered Iridium Star technologies. Thus, he led the Universe Army Warship Design Bureau, which included Earth’s designers, to create a new class of ships.
These new classes largely inherited designs from some of Earth’s more famous warships, such as the World War II’s renowned British battle cruisers Prestige and Retaliation, which the Universe Army planned to build two of.
The once mournful Fengzhen Battleships of the C nation’s navy, too, had an opportunity for resurgence. The names of the two ships were assigned to two battleships under construction, which would be, aside from the Homeland Titan, the largest main battle warships in the Universe Army, even surpassing the aircraft carrier Aquarius.
"Once the Star Alliance’s new batch of warships are launched and become operational, the people of Teizene will increasingly find themselves outmatched," Bai Zhongqi made such a judgment with ample justification.
In fact, even without all this, the Star Alliance had already ascended to a new height. Bai Zhongqi looked back at the more than two thousand Unicorn warships at the rear of the entire fleet from the warship’s bridge. The terror of the Silver Feather Army was yet to be witnessed by anyone in the universe. After receiving extensive combat data of the Silver Feather Army from Nian Deng, Bai Zhongqi understood that the Silver Feather Army, following a path of unique civilizational technology, was not inferior to the expansionary force of the Iridium Star United Empire that aimed to dominate the star sectors.
"Your Majesty, the expeditionary fleet is ready. We only await your command to initiate warp speed," Assistant Zero timely reminded Bai Zhongqi.
Bai Zhongqi snapped out of his thoughts, nodded slightly, and said, "It’s about time, then. Let’s set off."

Zero diligently conveyed Bai Zhongqi’s orders to the other warships in the fleet. Although the Unicorn warships were not directly controlled by the Supreme Command, they had all been equipped with devices to receive direct orders from Bai Zhongqi. He had no intention of forcibly converting these Unicorn warships to be controlled by the Supreme Command like the other Iridium Star warships, as he had no doubts about the loyalty of the Silver Feather Army.
"Your Majesty, it’s also about time for dinner. Should we notify the others on the ship to join us for dinner?"
Bai Zhongqi came to his senses and replied, "Ah, yes, of course."
Zero cunningly smiled and said, "Did you really not intentionally bring General Xu Lanzhou, Dr. Linyin, and your girlfriend together onto this ship? I’m quite suspicious of your motives. You’re not planning on starting a harem, are you?"
Bai Zhongqi sternly clarified his position, "I am not that kind of person, do not speculate wildly."
"But the undeniable fact is that all three beauties are now on your flagship."
Bai Zhongqi could not refute this. Xu Lanzhou was not usually stationed on the Sacred Falcon; her flagship was the Beiluoshimen, which was also the flagship for the sixty-plus Universe Army warships on this expedition. However, the Sacred Falcon, as the Chancellor’s flagship, didn’t control the fleet command. Still, as an important figure in the fleet, Bai Zhongqi naturally invited her to the Sacred Falcon for discussions or meals.
Linyin volunteered herself, as the Star Alliance Scientific Research Institute had been constantly absorbing talented individuals from Earth and could now handle more projects. She was just the kind of person to tinker here and there. Bai Zhongqi was headed to Lingge Star and needed a formidable technical advisor; aside from Linyin, there was no one else qualified.
The Sacred Falcon had a fully-equipped scientific laboratory, so naturally, she and her team stayed on the Chancellor’s flagship.
As for Han Jiaxue, Bai Zhongqi felt considerably guilty towards his official girlfriend. Being the Chancellor’s girlfriend, she faced immense pressure, and the change in people’s attitudes toward her after they became aware of her identity made it difficult for her to work and study normally. Bai Zhongqi was too busy with daily duties to spend much time with her. This time, Bai Zhongqi had directly proposed for Han Jiaxue to serve as the fleet’s diplomatic envoy, hoping to spend more time with her.
Together with Zero, Bai Zhongqi suddenly realized that his dining table had four exceptionally outstanding beauties. If it weren’t for Nan Ma’s bald head gleaming at the other end of the table, Bai Zhongqi might have indeed gotten a bit carried away.
Still chuckling casually, Nan Ma said, "Your Majesty, bringing me to the Sacred Falcon to serve as your human engine is quite an inefficient thing to do, you know. The Flashpoint Group I’m managing is now the most influential media company on Earth, and I am a man worth millions of Star Alliance Currency per minute."
Zero sarcastically said, "Master Nan Ma, you’re just a high-level wage earner, and let’s not talk about how much Star Alliance Currency is valued within our civilization; the vast majority of shares of Flashpoint Company are held by the Star Alliance economic sector. No matter how much money Flashpoint makes, it’s still Star Alliance’s money."

Zero himself possessed the strength of a Star Warrior Master, so he was less respectful towards Nan Ma, who, undisturbed by Zero’s retort, just chuckled naively.
At that moment, Bai Zhongqi said, "The reason I’ve invited you to stay on the ship isn’t because we need your star energy. We are about to enter a new galaxy and may also encounter other civilizations and species. Apart from diplomatic maneuvers, we also need the Star Alliance’s publicity capabilities, and since you operate Flashpoint Group well, that is the area where I need your expertise."
Nan Ma, even more animated after hearing this, said, "Exactly, Your Majesty truly has keen insight. Handling publicity and public opinion is my forte. Regardless of the type of intelligent life we encounter, I will definitely find a way to make them lean toward our Star Alliance side."
