"How are we doing right now?" Zhao Chen asked.

Lilith replied, "The development of the Dragon Star System and the Reef Star Region is progressing very well, and everything is proceeding according to plan."

In addition, the T2 Iron Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships of the Beiyan Starship Technology Group have completed their expansion, reaching a total number of 10,000.

Production capacity is growing rapidly and can fully meet the production needs of the T3 Goldminer-class heavy interplanetary mining ships, as well as other production tasks in the production plan.

In addition, both the North Wind Star Region and the Chu River Star Region have placed numerous military procurement orders with the North Goose Group, amounting to a very large quantity.

This also includes the Chu family.

As per your previous permission, we will initially supply a limited number of orders for the Chuhe and Beifeng star regions, with a monthly supply of one thousand T2-class interstellar warships.

Zhao Chen nodded; it was he who had instructed him to do this. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Supplying a thousand T2-class interstellar warships per month might be a bit stingy, as it's less than 10% of Beiyan Group's current production capacity.

Zhao Chen also wanted to go all out to produce interstellar warships and send them to the front lines.

However, the problem is that a matter cannot be viewed from only one perspective.

Producing interstellar warships requires raw materials, so we first need to stabilize resource extraction in the five outer star systems.

Resource extraction also requires interstellar mining ships, so we need to produce interstellar mining ships.

In addition, in order to stop the Warhammer Starfleet's expeditionary plan, they also need to continuously support Charlotte's Dragon-Tiger Legion fleet.

After all this back and forth, the production capacity that can be allocated to the two star systems is really only this much.

However, Old Chu was unaware that the Beiyan Group had such a massive production capacity. Under the current circumstances, being able to supply a thousand T2-level interstellar warships per month was already quite impressive.

"Now we can only ask old man Chu to hold on a little longer."

"Once the T3 Gold Digger-class heavy interstellar mining ships are completed, we can free up that production capacity and start mass-producing combat interstellar warships," Zhao Chen said helplessly.

Zhao Chen asked Lilith to continue.

"Another point is the status of our JF-17 Legion's active interstellar warships."

To date, our active-duty interstellar warships have expanded to nearly five thousand, and we will soon be able to possess the strength of two standard legion fleets.

Lilith continued, "Among them, the T4 Suzaku-class medium-sized interstellar cruisers are undergoing further expansion, and it is expected that the number will reach the standard of thirty by the end of the year."

In addition, the first batch of thirty of the latest T4 Paladin-class heavy interplanetary missile frigates has been delivered and is currently in the training phase; they will soon be combat-ready.

Because the T4 Paladin-class heavy interplanetary missile frigate is the latest T4-class interplanetary warship, a lot of related training data needs to be explored and tested, so the first batch of training will take longer.

"How's the expansion of the T4 Gemini heavy interstellar industrial ship going?" Zhao Chen asked with concern.

This is crucial to the qualitative transformation of the JF-17 Legion!

Lilith said, "The expansion plan for the T4 Gemini heavy interplanetary industrial ship is proceeding normally, and the construction of the second ship is now more than halfway complete."

The completion of the third vessel before the end of the year is no longer a problem.

By then, we will have three active T4 twin ships, which will greatly increase our capacity to produce T4-class starships!

Three T4 Gemini ships.

Zhao Chen squinted.

Producing T4 starships from T4 star industrial ships is indeed not a difficult task.

However, relying solely on three ships is insufficient to produce Zhao Chen's dream ship, the T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought.

It's still quite difficult.

At the very least, we'll need ten T4 Gemini ships. If we also consider not affecting other production plans, then we'll probably need around thirty T4 Gemini ships.

Zhao Chen sighed deeply, wondering when he would be able to own a T5-class interstellar warship.

"Are we having any financial difficulties right now?" Zhao Chen asked.

Lilith said, "To date, we have 100 billion Star Coins in cash and raw material reserves on our books."

However, considering that mining production in Starfield 2 and Starfield 3 will return to normal, this will greatly ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) offset the expenses in our production plan.

As things stand, there's no problem covering our expenses.

Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Recently, the Dragon Legion has been making some big strides, not only expanding its interstellar industrial ships but also operating them at full capacity, while also supporting Charlotte's combat attrition in the Warhammer United States.

Money is needed in every aspect.

Monthly expenses have already exceeded 50 billion Star Coins.

Even with Zhao Chen's substantial wealth, he really couldn't sustain himself if he didn't generate more income.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen still had control over those five resource star regions.

Once all development is complete, just imagine the monthly income of 500 billion star coins; Zhao Chen could wake up laughing in his dreams.

Then we'll have the funds to produce our dream ship!

"I hope everything goes smoothly." Zhao Chen stretched and stood up, looking at the huge 'porthole' behind him.

In fact, this is a porthole created by holographic projection, and the view outside is the cosmic view outside the first T4 Suzaku-class medium interstellar cruiser.

You can see a cluster of shining stars.

At this moment, Zhao Chen thought of something that had been on his mind.

Quarterly tasks.

It's strange.

It's already early October, but the tasks for the last quarter of the year haven't been updated yet, which puzzles Zhao Chen.

With a thought, Zhao Chen saw a system window appear in front of him.

【Quarterly Task: This quarterly task has been delayed, please wait...】

This is the first time this has happened.

For some reason, Zhao Chen felt that there must be a reason why the system had pulled this stunt on him.

Zhao Chen's gaze fell below.

That's an annual task.

【Annual Tasks:】

Requirement 1: The monthly revenue of the Dragon Legion's directly affiliated industries must reach 20 billion, 30 billion, 40 billion, 50 billion, and 60 billion Star Coins. Progress: 63 billion (Five Stars) (Completed)

Requirement 2: Possess 3,000, 6,000, 9,000, 12,000, or 15,000 T2-class or higher interstellar warships. Progress: Over 10,000 ships (3 stars)

Note: The interstellar warships acquired during the mission cannot be sold within six months of mission completion; otherwise, the system will impose penalties, and the consequences will be borne by the user!

Requirement 3: Possess one, two, three, four, or five T4 combat-type interstellar warships. Progress: One. Progress: Two (Two-star).

Requirement 4: The number of active T4 interstellar warships reaches 'ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty'. Progress: Fifty ships (five stars)

Requirement 5: The host must directly or indirectly control 'one, two, three, four, or five' star systems. Progress: Five. (Five stars)

Current total: 20 stars.

Note: The criteria for dividing star regions and determining mission completion are determined by the system.

Task Rewards: The completion rates for the above five tasks range from one to five stars, with a maximum of twenty-five stars.

Reaching a completion rate of 20 stars signifies a 'passing' completion of the annual task, and you will receive basic rewards.

A completion score of 23 stars represents 'good', and an additional bonus will be awarded on top of that.

Achieving a completion rate of 25 stars represents 'excellent', and an additional mystery reward will be given on top of that.
