T4 Gemini Heavy Starship - Main Control Room

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"Once this period of ship-building over is over, I'll try to give you all a short vacation."

"Commander, this is what we should do."

The lavish treatment we receive here far surpasses that of anywhere else in the Starry Empire, so it's perfectly normal for us to work hard for the development of the Dragon Slayer Legion.

The door to the main control room was slowly opened.

Zhao Chen glanced at his desk, which was in a mess, with many electronic screens still hanging in the air.

"That's strange, Chief Engineer Annie should be here." The technician looked around the empty desk, puzzled.

The next second, she felt a hand grab her ankle.

"Fake...fake...holiday..."

Then, a plaintive voice came from beside my feet.

The technician looked down and saw another hand reaching out from the darkness in the corner.

"Ahhh...a ghost!" The technician was so frightened that she slipped and tried to run away, but because one of her feet was being grabbed, her body leaned backward.

But soon, she felt as if she had touched something, and a masculine scent came rushing in from behind her.

Suddenly, she had an idea!

The commander was right behind him.

Does that mean... he's lying in the commander's arms right now?

The thought of this made her realize that ghosts were completely unimportant, and she wished time could stop at this moment.

But soon, a voice sounded from behind.

"Annie?"

The technician then realized that the one who had grabbed his foot was actually Annie.

However, at this moment, Annie had an expression of utter despair.

"Chief Engineer Anne!" The technician quickly helped Chief Engineer Anne up.

At that moment, Chief Engineer Anne's pupils seemed to dilate.

"I'll approve half a day of leave for you."

But the next second, Zhao Chen's words brought Chief Engineer Annie back to life.

Chief Engineer Annie shuddered and rushed to Zhao Chen, grabbing his arm eagerly and staring at him with her big, watery eyes: "You...you're telling the truth?"

Zhao Chen rolled his eyes: "When have I ever lied to you?"

Chief Engineer Anne thought about it seriously, and it was indeed true.

Although this commander usually pushes himself quite hard, he always keeps his word.

"You...why...are you suddenly being so kind?" Annie cautiously took a few steps back, covering her chest with her hands, looking as if she were someone who only performed but didn't sell her body.

Zhao Chen was speechless for a moment. He explained, "The situation on both sides of the Holy Radiant Empire and the Warhammer Interstellar Federation Kingdom is currently relatively stable."

I handed over the matters on both sides to Charlotte and Lilith respectively, and they will inform me immediately of any developments.

In contrast, there's no point in me staying there; I'm just a mascot.

We are in dire need of interstellar warships, so I think I can be of some help here.

Zhao Chen, after all, possessed starship engineering skills. While he might not be as experienced as Annie and the others in planning the overall work, he could still help with most of the tasks.

"Very good.

I've completely forgotten when was the last time I took a vacation.

The first thing I do every day when I open my eyes is work, then eat, then work again, then eat again, and then continue working.

I work at least fifteen hours a day!

No...it should be eighteen hours!

"My brain feels like it's about to crash..." Annie recounted her arduous work in detail.

Zhao Chen pressed down on Annie's head, knowing what she was thinking: "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you on anything I promised."

If all the construction plans are completed smoothly, I can give you some extra rewards.

"Hehe, then I'll take a half-day holiday first."

"I'm going to eat all the snacks I haven't had in a while, and all the shows I haven't finished watching!" With that, Annie prepared to dash out.

But Zhao Chen pressed his head down again.

"I won't be going during the holidays, but first I need to understand your current work situation."

"Go and call Nana and Elise the Spider Queen over; they also have a half-day off," Zhao Chen instructed.

Annie pouted. Although she was a little impatient for her short vacation, she still obediently went to inform the two chief engineers to come over.

Not long after.

The two chief engineers then came to Anne's office.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Annie lying on a massage chair that she had somehow gotten her hands on, enjoying a massage while drinking a beverage and eating snacks.

The massage chair also has a robotic arm that can collect trash and open snacks and peel fruit for Annie's convenience.

"Sis! Why are you slacking off again!"

"Do you know how much work we have right now?!" Nana frowned and scolded her older sister as soon as she saw her slacking off.

Anne instinctively explained, "I didn't, I..."

etc......

Anne seemed to realize something and immediately said, "It's not that I'm being lazy, it's that the commander gave me a half-day off."

Seeing Annie's fluctuating expression, Zhao Chen could tell that she must have been constantly urged to work by her younger sister, Nana.

Seeing Nana looking at him, Zhao Chen nodded and said, "You've all been working hard lately, but you also need to rest."

So the reason I'm here is twofold: firstly, to assist you with your work, and secondly, to give you half a day to rest.

"Is that all? I don't need to rest."

All I want to do now is go back and build my interstellar warships.

This place feels like paradise.

"This is simply wonderful!" Spider Queen Elise said, her hand supporting her cheek, her eyes filled with excitement.

Nana also said seriously, "We don't need to take a holiday. The construction task is urgent now, and the expansion plan of the Dragon Legion is about to expire."

There's also the T5 interstellar warship construction program, all of which require our time investment.

If there's nothing else, let's head back to our posts.

After saying that, Nana glanced at her sister, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything since it was a leave granted by the commander.

She knew that although she and Elise the Spider Queen seemed very busy, Anne could generate more value than them in the same amount of time. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Perhaps this is Annie's talent.

Looking at the two chief engineers, Zhao Chen was deeply impressed. They were practically five-star employees!

“I can’t stop you from choosing not to rest.”

But I need a brief overview of your work progress and procedures.

"I'll be staying here for the next while to assist you," Zhao Chen said.

These words startled Nana and Elise, who stared at the commander as if he were their prey.

Because they knew very well that the Commander's abilities in starship technology far surpassed Anne's, since these incredible interstellar warships were the very things the Commander had brought out.

Although it has always been a mystery.

However, whenever asked about certain aspects of these starship technologies, the commander could always answer fluently.

If we could get technical guidance from the Commander, that would be like adding wings to a tiger!

Next, from the initial meeting report, the two women began to discuss various issues surrounding Zhao Chen.

"I think this step of the process can be streamlined further, which could reduce the construction time of this interstellar warship by 1%!"

"That is indeed possible; we only need to make changes to this part of the production line."

Annie watched the three of them chatting animatedly and asked softly, "Is there nothing for me to do? Should I go now?"

Zhao Chen glanced at Annie, waved his hand, and indicated that she could go on vacation.

Annie stuck out her tongue and pressed down on the massage chair beneath her. Surprisingly, the massage chair could move on its own, saving Annie the time of traveling by herself.

As for what happened afterward, Anne did not take the full half-day of vacation.

After only an hour's rest and a big meal, he returned to his post.

Despite constant complaints, I continued working for the big boss!
