“Captain, you want to build a carrier starship?” Qiao Rong Rong exclaimed.
“This carrier starship is too big, it feels...it feels like if it’s built, the Storm-class No. 1 ship would look like a little kid in front of it.” Luo Na said with a sigh from the video feed.
The deputy captain, Tang Yuan, on the side widened her eyes. She said incredulously, “Shields? This is a starship with shield capabilities?”
They all knew very well what shield capabilities meant.
This was the top technology in the Milky Way Alliance right now!
“This is a T3-class carrier starship.” As an engineer and technical personnel, Xue Li Er could tell the value of this Phoenix-class carrier starship from this brief introduction.
T3-class carrier starship!
Almost everyone present started breathing heavily.
A pre-T3 Storm-class interstellar battlecruiser had such powerful capabilities, so a real T3-class starship, how terrifying it would be, is imaginable.
“That’s right. This is a T3-class carrier starship, and it’s one of the ones I’m going to build next. It’s to replace the current Qing Yuan ship.” Sun He said in a serious tone.
Replace the Qing Yuan ship?
Deputy Captain Tang Yuan looked hesitant.
Others also had a strange feeling in their hearts.
“I know you all have a lot of affection for this Qing Yuan carrier starship, but it’s destined to be unable to keep up with the current development of the Qing Yuan fleet.
If the Qing Yuan fleet wants to go further, it’s not possible with just a T1-class light carrier starship.
Although it’s now equipped with the T3-class Xiao Long-class interstellar fighters, it’s just a temporary solution.” Sun He looked at Tang Yuan, knowing that his decision to retire the Qing Yuan ship would make Tang Yuan and her group feel uncomfortable.
Tang Yuan took a deep breath, her expression serious, “Captain, I understand what you’re saying. But this is a T3-class carrier starship after all, and it’s also equipped with top technology like shields.
You… are you really confident that you can build it? The manpower, resources, and money it takes will be incredibly vast.
And so far, the Milky Way Alliance has only been able to independently develop and manufacture less than ten types of T3-class starships. The forces that possess T3-class starships are basically all first and second-rate forces.”
Sun He smiled, “I don’t need to explain too much about whether I have confidence or not. It’s like when I built the Storm-class interstellar battlecruiser. You’ll only truly believe it when it’s actually built.
As for the burden you’re worried about, I’ve already calculated it all.
With our current capabilities, we have the ability and technology to build it. It might be a little burdensome financially, but I think it’s a necessary step for the growth of our Qing Yuan fleet.
After all, our current situation is very delicate. No one knows what the Grizzly Lord will do next. The next time he attacks us, it might not be as simple as just sending a fleet.
We can’t keep running away, and I don’t want to keep leading the sisters of the Qing Yuan fleet in hiding.”
Hearing Sun He’s words, Tang Yuan fell into contemplation and silence.
As the deputy captain, her personality was mostly about being steady and safe, and she didn’t want to put the fleet in danger.
“I agree with Captain Sun He’s plan. We’re not the same Qing Yuan fleet we were before. We need to make ourselves stronger!
And I believe in Captain Sun He. He won’t let us down.” Luo Na said with shining eyes.
Because of the Storm-class No. 1 ship, Luo Na now deeply respected Captain Sun He.
This young man, who could build such advanced interstellar battlecruisers, might actually be able to build even better carrier starships.
“If it’s something Captain Sun He thinks needs to be done, then I agree too.” Even Qiao Rong Rong, who was always a miser, chose to agree this time.
Xue Li Er hesitated for a moment, then continued, “I… I’m not a core leader of the Qing Yuan fleet. As someone who was taken in by the Qing Yuan fleet, I shouldn’t be saying this.
But I’m still very grateful to the Qing Yuan fleet for taking us in. If you ask me, I also think we should build it!
The Milky Way Alliance may seem powerful to you, but there are many more galaxies and civilizations out there. There are even other universes.
If you want to survive in a world like this, you have to keep getting stronger.
In a real battle, T1-class starships are just cannon fodder. Even T2-class starships are just slightly more powerful cannon fodder.
The real protagonists are T3-class starships! Developing T3-class starships is the only way to become strong.
Seeing the three women’s attitudes.
Tang Yuan could only look at Sun He, “Everything will follow Captain Sun He’s arrangements.”
“Okay, next. We need a suitable starport to build this Phoenix-class carrier starship. Our industrial ships alone can’t complete it.
Qiao Rong Rong, screen the surrounding starports. They need to have the ability to build large starships.” Sun He said.
“Yes.” Qiao Rong Rong immediately started searching and quickly got results.
“Reporting, I’ve screened four top-level starports around us, one located in the Andromeda Galaxy, one in the Golden Tiger Galaxy, one in the Grizzly Galaxy, and one in the White Chrysanthemum Galaxy.”
They couldn’t return to the Grizzly Galaxy, and the Andromeda Galaxy wasn’t safe either.
That left the Golden Tiger Galaxy and the White Chrysanthemum Galaxy.
“Show me the information about these two galaxies, and their positions on the star map.” Sun He said.
“Yes.”
Information about the two galaxies appeared in front of Sun He.
At the same time, a projected star map was floating in front of Sun He.
In terms of location, the two starports were the same distance from where they were.
Except that the Golden Tiger Galaxy was on the outer edge of the Milky Way Alliance, considered a border region.
The White Chrysanthemum Galaxy was in the inner region.
“Rong Rong, I have a question. If we stay in a starport, and people from the Grizzly Galaxy come looking for us, will they attack us proactively?” Sun He asked curiously.
Qiao Rong Rong answered directly, “The first rule of starport law: no starships are allowed to fight within the jurisdiction of a starport. Otherwise, it will be considered an act of war against the starport.
The forces behind starports are not something that a few petty lords would dare to provoke.”
“That means it’s relatively safe within a starport!” Sun He’s eyes lit up.
“Theoretically that’s the case. But it’s not impossible for them to arrange some thieves, assassins, etc. to sneak into the starport and carry out assassination or sabotage activities.
As long as these actions don’t affect the order of the starport, the starport will tacitly allow it.
Also, remember that prices and consumption within a starport are several times higher than on other planets. Once you run out of money, you’ll be kicked out of the starport without mercy.” Qiao Rong Rong said.
Sun He fell into brief contemplation.
After half a minute, he directly gave an order.
“Relay my order, the fleet heads for the starport in the Golden Tiger Galaxy!”
“Yes!”
The corners of Sun He’s mouth curled upwards. He was going to start building ships, constantly building ships.
Only building ships could give him a sense of security.
