Therefore, one can imagine what it would be like for these low-level interstellar warships to face the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts, which are at the near-T7 level.

At the forefront of the three thousand interstellar warships were naturally the interstellar escort ships.

However, the situation these interstellar frigates are facing at this moment is completely different.

For example, a few T6-class interstellar frigates can barely maintain their own star shield force fields and protect their defensive positions.

However, the T5-class and T4-class star frigates were not so lucky.

Especially for T4-class interstellar frigates, even with their star shields activated, their close-in weapon systems fire at high intensity, creating a barrage of intercepting bullets.

However, it was facing the firepower of a near-T7 level Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought, which was simply not in the same league.

Strictly speaking, the two technologies are two and a half generations apart.

The defenses of the other T5-class star frigates could only briefly withstand attacks from near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy star dreadnoughts.

And the various weapon systems of these two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts were not attacking indiscriminately.

Each will also seek suitable targets to avoid using excessive force against ineffective solutions.

For example, those three main bow guns equipped with super bio-plasma pulse cannons are naturally not suitable for attacking T4 and T5 level interstellar warships.

These enemies are simply not qualified.

The only ships that could possibly receive the reception of these three super-biological plasma pulse cannons at the bow were naturally enemy T6-class interstellar warships.

And every time the three super-biological plasma pulse cannons locked onto a T6-class starship on the other side.

So, regardless of the type of T6 basic starship, whether it is a star frigate, a star destroyer, or a star battleship.

Even if the Star Shield is at full power, it would still be difficult to withstand the attack of these three shots!

In short, as long as the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought fires these three shots, one of the enemy's T6-level interstellar warships will inevitably be destroyed, leaving no room for retaliation.

This caused the T6 flagship of the opposing 3,000-ship garrison fleet to immediately retreat to a safe distance upon seeing the scene, and dared not approach to participate.

This is a nightmare.

Those T5-class interstellar warships naturally had their own dedicated artillery fire to deal with them.

The thirty-six electromagnetic biological railguns and nine hundred electromagnetic energy main guns are not just for show; they are what make the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought famous as the 'Golden Rain'.

They overwhelmed the opposing T5 and T4 level starships, leaving them with no chance to fight back.

"Damn it, how could this happen!" The garrison fleet commander's face turned ashen.

He had long anticipated that the two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts opposite him, being near-T7 level interstellar warships, would be very strong.

But I never expected it to be this strong!

That's unbelievably strong!

Is this the power of a near-T7 level interstellar warship?

"Report! Our frontline interstellar warship has been attacked by enemy ships and has suffered heavy losses!"

"We have absolutely no chance to defend against the enemy's attack, and we don't even have the ability to stop or counterattack them." The vice-captain said anxiously, his voice tinged with fear.

"It has been less than ten minutes since we made contact with the enemy and started fighting."

We've directly lost nearly five hundred starships. Judging from the current situation, our three thousand starships won't last an hour at most!

The vice-captain reminded him from the side, "If the enemy's Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts are holding back, our defeat will come sooner."

The deputy captain's words no longer sounded alarming to the garrison fleet commander.

Because he has now personally experienced the power of the enemy's near-T7 level interstellar warship, the JF-17.

This was completely different from the interstellar warships they had usually encountered.

"Where are our reinforcements?"

"Didn't His Majesty order that after the reinforcement fleet crosses the stargate and arrives here, the first priority is to ensure the safety of our stargate?" the garrison fleet commander said hurriedly.

Now, in his mind, the reinforcement fleet is his lifeline.

The vice-captain said, "The reinforcement fleet is gradually arriving."

On average, about three thousand interstellar warships arrive at our location every hour.

Three thousand interstellar warships arrived as reinforcements within an hour.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like that much.

But you should know that if such a stargate never stops, it can accommodate nearly 100,000 interstellar warships every day.

Moreover, this was a regular legion fleet that had devoured civilizations, which is quite an astonishing transport capacity.

However, the fact that they were now facing the near-T7 level interstellar warships of the Dragon Legion fleet made them feel immense pressure.

The combat power of these two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts is truly terrifying.

After a moment's thought, the garrison fleet commander said in a deep voice, "The combat power of these two near-T7 level interstellar warships of the enemy is indeed frightening."

To withstand their attack, our only option now is to shrink our defensive perimeter and concentrate our starships in one place to defend against the enemy's assault!

The deputy captain frowned slightly upon hearing this deployment arrangement.

This sounds like it could be a method.

However, upon closer examination, one will find...

This operational deployment is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it may protect the stargate, but on the other hand, with all their interstellar warships gathered in one place, it also means that the enemy can more easily eliminate them.

This would cause even more severe damage to their interstellar warships.

But this seems to be the only option available at the moment.

After all, no matter what, they need to hold the star gate behind them.

"Furthermore, pass on the order."

"As soon as the reinforcement fleet arrives, immediately have them join the defensive operations," the garrison fleet commander said earnestly.

It would be difficult for their own fleet to withstand the two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts on the other side for an extended period of time.

"In addition, I will try to contact His Majesty the King and ask him to arrange reinforcements from other regions to provide us with some support as well," the garrison fleet commander said helplessly.

Looking out the porthole at the two golden interstellar warships still unleashing golden storms in the distance, fear filled his eyes.

"My lord... perhaps you don't need to worry so much."

These two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts are powerful, but even the strongest ships eventually run out of resources.

Moreover, they are fighting against thousands of our interstellar warships. Do you think their energy and ammunition are inexhaustible?

"Perhaps as the battle continues, the combat effectiveness of these two Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts will gradually decline," the vice-captain said, offering words of comfort.

Hearing the vice-captain's comforting words did indeed make the garrison fleet commander feel much better.

But they still completely failed to understand what the enemy they were facing was!

Dragon Star Empire

At this moment, although the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has declared a Level II state of war, the war is not taking place within its territory.

In addition, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire had experienced many battles before, so the locals gradually got used to this situation.

Currently, apart from the military industry being relatively busy, everything else in the entire Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, as well as in terms of the lives of ordinary people, is proceeding as usual, without any major changes or differences.

The sector most affected by this is the military industry, which was mentioned earlier.

If we're talking about industries other than the military industry, what other sectors will be affected?

That naturally refers to the raw material industries that provide raw materials for the military industry. In order to ensure the production of the military industry, each raw material industry is not only ensuring its own production tasks, but also constantly accelerating its own production pace.

And those responsible for this part are naturally the various interstellar companies and groups under the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

To date, only 30% of all resource-producing areas within the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's universe are directly under the official control of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

At first glance, it seems as if the Dragon Star Empire does not control its own important resources.

But in fact, of the remaining 70%, more than 50% were funded by the Dragon Star Empire or were handled by interstellar groups with which it had cooperation.

For example, the largest privately-owned Northern Resource Mining Group in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is a name that sounds very unfamiliar at first glance.

But in reality, the Dragon Star Empire owns 70% of it, while the remaining 30% is jointly controlled by private enterprises led by the Beiyan Group.

However, the Dragon Star Empire, which controls 70% of the profits, will not be responsible for managing this northern resource mining group. Instead, it will hand over all jurisdiction to the merchants who control the remaining 30% of the profits.

These interstellar traders are better suited to managing these production enterprises than managing these manufacturing companies.

Since professional matters should be left to professionals, Zhao Chen entrusted all management work to these interstellar merchants. The official side simply established some supervisory departments to oversee the process.

Then it's about collecting profits on time.

These interstellar traders could also reap considerable profits, and with the powerful backing of the Dragon Empire, they naturally had no objections and were very happy to have this kind of cooperation.

At this moment, on a mining planet belonging to the Northern Resources Mining Group.

"The price was clearly 37 per ton before, how come we only have 35 per ton now?" A masked man pointed at a transport truck behind him and shouted loudly to the people in the pavilion opposite.

Not far away was an interstellar transport ship.

This is a resource-rich planet, and resource extraction here mainly involves several stages.

One aspect is the workers and equipment responsible for mining, a task mainly handled by the Northern Resources Mining Group.

The other link is transportation.

Transportation is divided into two parts: interstellar transportation and intraplanetary transportation.

Interstellar transportation goes without saying. The Northern Resource Mining Group will contact a specially partnered interstellar transport fleet to load up piles of resource ores here and transport them to the factories that need them.

Prior to this, the transportation process within the planet was divided into two parts.

One part consists of the Northern Resources Mining Group's own transport fleet, and the other part consists of privately organized fleets on the planet.

Considering that there are usually some native inhabitants on a planet, you will inevitably need to provide these native inhabitants with some jobs or opportunities to make money.

If you just want to work, you can join the Northern Resources Mining Group in their jobs on this planet and get the pay you deserve.

However, some people are not content with this income and want to earn more.

At this point, they will be provided with another channel.

That means they would purchase their own transport vehicles, then go to the resource-producing areas to load materials, and then transport them to the loading and unloading points of the interstellar transport ships.

They will assume the responsibility for transportation in this section, as well as all the risks, in exchange for a substantial income.

The profit per vehicle for this type of private transport fleet exceeds that of the former.

Only in this way can their existence be motivated.

To encourage them to work more.

This creates a virtuous cycle.

However, there are also certain risks involved.

That is, the unit price of private transport fleets is not fixed, and the transportation cost changes every once in a while.

Additionally, if you fail to deliver the goods to the transport ship on time, a portion of the shipping fee will be deducted.

Therefore, some unlucky contractors not only fail to make money, but also suffer huge losses.

Despite this, quite a few people are still willing to participate.

After all, most people hope to have the opportunity to become rich overnight.

And now, this transport convoy stuck here is facing this problem.

The staff member inside the pavilion pointed to several items on a form next to him and said, "It's not that I deliberately lowered your price."

Look for yourselves, during this transportation, your losses exceeded 3%, so according to the fixed rate, some transportation costs should be deducted.

You are all aware of these regulations.

There's no point in arguing with me now.

"Either deliver the goods now, or get out of here."

"That's what the staff member said impatiently."

"We experienced a planetary storm, which is why this happened."

"And the convoy ahead of us also had damage, just like us, so why didn't they get penalized!" The person asking the question sounded like a woman, and she was very angry.

The staff member smiled dismissively and said, "They do have losses, but their losses haven't exceeded the limit."

Are you satisfied with this answer?

I'm warning you, if you keep nagging me like this, don't blame me for not accepting your trucks anymore!

Hearing the warning from the staff.

Before the woman could speak, a man got out of the car and pulled her back.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

My daughter has a bit of a temper, please forgive her.

We have no objection to this price, we have no objection.

As the man spoke, he discreetly slipped a pack of cigarettes into his hand in a flattering manner.

After seeing the pack of cigarettes, the staff member quietly hid it and then looked at the people coldly: "If you're here to make a living, you should know what you're supposed to do."

If you do this again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless.

After the man typed "agree," the gate opened, and their convoy passed through smoothly.

At the same time, a payment was also deposited into the fleet's account.

Of course, it's based on the amount that's deducted.

Ten transport vehicles were parked at the loading and unloading point, and loading and unloading robots immediately began loading and unloading the goods.

The man returned to his car and looked at his daughter, who was sitting sullenly in the passenger seat.

The sandstorm inside the car wasn't as bad as outside, and the daughter took off her veil.

The woman's skin was in terrible condition; she looked over forty years old.

"Sasha, when are you going to be able to control your temper?"

It's always the same.

We're begging for food under someone else's thumb right now. If we offend them like this, they have a million ways to get back at us." The man also removed his veil, revealing his aged face.

"Dad, but they're clearly bullying us."

How could the wear and tear on the team ahead not have exceeded the limit?

"This is clearly a case of them colluding in secret!" the woman said indignantly.

The man sighed, took out a glass of water from the side, handed it to the woman, and said while comforting her, "How could we not know what's going on?"

But what can we do about it?

They're just capable; they can get away without being penalized. What can you do about it?

"I...I...I..." The woman tried to speak several times, but the words stuck in her throat.

She picked up the kettle, unscrewed it, and poured the water into her dry throat. But after a few sips, she looked at her father beside her, whose Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He handed the water bottle back to his father and said, "Dad, you must be thirsty too. Have some water."

"I'm not thirsty, I'm not thirsty." The man shook his head, but his Adam's apple still bobbed.

It was clear that he was really thirsty.

However, on this planet, water is much more expensive than normal.

Due to resource extraction, the planet is in poor condition, with water resources being extremely scarce. The vast majority of its water resources are transported in by interstellar transport ships.

Therefore, this water is extremely expensive on this planet.

"Dad, have some drink." The woman felt very sorry for her father when she saw him like this.

Seeing this, the man could only pick up the kettle and pretend to take a sip.

But in reality, only a tiny drop of water entered his mouth, and he savored it as if he were drinking sweet spring water.

Then, he tightened the kettle in his hand.

"Sasha."

After all these years, you should have thought this through.

We are no longer the Chiang family we once were; we have lost everything we had.

Over the past decade, my family has worked hard, starting with odd jobs, and eventually saving up enough money to build our own fleet of vehicles and start earning more money little by little.

Although we now have such a fleet of vehicles, which is better than the average person, we sea lions are still ants at the bottom of the social hierarchy compared to others.

Therefore, when we encounter others bullying us, we should be a little timid and lower our heads.

This is nothing.

As long as my family can get through this, I believe that even if I don't live to see it, I will be able to.

At least in your generation, or in your children's generation, our Chiang family will definitely be able to revive.

Speaking of which, Sasha, you're really not young anymore. It's time to find a man, get married, and have children.

"Given our current status, while we may not be able to find any noble offspring, finding someone with a bit of family wealth and ability shouldn't be a problem."

Jiang Shasha was initially very touched, but after hearing her father mention marriage, an impatient look appeared on her face.

Because this is her minefield.

Jiang Shasha said impatiently, "Dad, didn't I already say that?"

I will never date a man in my life.

I might have children in the future, but I will also use genetic technology to conceive.

I, Jiang Shasha, can make our Jiang family prosper again without relying on anyone.

Seeing his daughter's attitude, Mr. Jiang said helplessly, "Sasha, are you still thinking about that man?"

He's already the Emperor of the Dragon King.

Those things are in the past now.

Ten years have passed, so don't dwell on the past.

And whatever you do, don’t think about revenge.

It's still possible for us to revive the Chiang family, but revenge is absolutely impossible.

They've already been very kind of them not to wipe us out.

It's all because we made the wrong choice back then.

If we had chosen to stay in the Dragon Galaxy, we wouldn't be in this situation now.

If I hadn't...

well......

Those old comrades who stayed in the Xiaolong system back then have now mostly become influential figures in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Mr. Jiang sighed. Although he said he was letting go, he was not truly letting go in his heart.

He may not have claimed to be incredibly powerful, but the Jiang family was at least a significant force in the galaxy.

Life back then is completely different from life now.

But it's too late to regret these things now.

After all, there's no going back in life.

At most, I can only fantasize about some wonderful things in my dreams, although every time I wake up I have an urge to kill myself.

But at least life is much better now than it was back then.

Jiang Shasha's expression wasn't good. If we're talking about who was most affected by that incident ten years ago, it was her.

After all, if those things hadn't happened back then, my identity and status might be completely different now.

She simply cannot accept this situation calmly.

Even if they say it several times, those are things of the past.

But only she herself knew very well that those things would never be over in this lifetime, and would forever linger in her heart.
