For example, the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship, the Rakshasa Hades-class interstellar dreadnought, the Demon Emperor carrier starship, and the Gluttonous Demon King starship.

These were all super flagships that Zhao Chen built using the core technologies provided by the system.

Unable to be mass-produced, but its combat performance far surpasses that of other interstellar warships of the same class.

It can achieve absolute invincibility among interstellar warships of the same level, capable of taking on a hundred enemies at once, and can play a role in changing the course of battle in certain special battlefields!

And here.

Although Zhao Chen could not replicate these super flagships.

However, this does not mean that a counterfeit version cannot be made. The performance can be reduced to at least one-third of the original, which is sufficient.

Zhao Chen and Annie had previously proposed this idea.

He originally thought it would be very difficult.

The biggest problem is how much combat capability the prototype can achieve. If the gap is too large, it would be better to build a mass-produced interstellar warship of the same level.

But Annie's answer was...

Although it is impossible to completely replicate the performance of the prototype ship.

However, this does not mean that the desired effect cannot be achieved through other means.

Especially in terms of ranking.

Building a T7-level structure is practically impossible.

However, if you only want to build T4 or T5 level structures.

That is entirely possible.

In the past, Anne had focused her research on this type of super flagship.

Although she has never been able to fully understand the core technology of them.

However, based on the performance she could achieve, she also found some alternatives that could achieve the same effect.

Because Annie has already seen and learned about T6 and T7 level technology.

Using these more advanced technological ideas to replicate the performance of lower-level interstellar warships is a perfectly viable approach.

"I have already arranged a small T5 star-level interstellar industrial base."

Although its performance is far inferior to that of the fully evolved form.

It is impossible to mass-produce T5-class interstellar warships.

However, at present, it is more than enough to complete the construction of a small batch of T5 starships.

Currently in this area.

We have already achieved it in theory.

For example, this prototype is the Rakshasa Hades-class interstellar dreadnought, based on our calculations and considerations.

We can reproduce 90% of its original performance!

It was named the T5 Little Hades-class Star Dreadnought.

However, its construction conditions are extremely demanding, especially the core modules, which have a certain probability of failure.

Moreover, the entire construction process will be divided into several phases.

The first phase involves building its initial form, which is already stronger than a regular T4 starship.

However, after several major modifications and upgrades, its performance can reach the near-T5 level, and the construction cost is much lower than that of a T5 starship.

To be honest, its price-performance ratio isn't very high.

Therefore, it is not suitable for mass production.

However, if it is used as a super flagship, then there is absolutely no problem.

Most importantly, it boasts performance nearly identical to a T5 starship. "Annie said this.

Her gaze dimmed slightly as she said, "As for the other mass-produced T5 interstellar warship plan..."

We conducted several rounds of argumentation.

The final conclusion was that the feasibility was very low, and we have now basically decided to temporarily suspend this part of the project.

"Why?" Zhao Chen frowned and asked with some confusion.

Anne held up three fingers.

Three reasons.

Firstly, if the goal is to mass-produce T5 interstellar warships, then the best production tool is a T5-level starship factory.

However, a T5-level interstellar industrial base would cost ten trillion star coins to build.

This is equivalent to half a year's output value of our current Xiaolong civilization.

Are we going to invest six months' worth of our production into an interstellar factory that can't immediately generate combat power?

Zhao Chen fell silent.

Six months.

If we consider long-term development, these six months are nothing.

But the question now is how much time they have left in this trial of the gods?

It will take no more than two years at the shortest.

Although spending half a year to build an interstellar factory in the next two years is certainly not a good deal.

Second: Construction cost!

Taking the cheapest T5 Chaos Knight-class Heavy Assault Star Destroyer as an example, the cost of a single ship is 200 billion Star Credits.

This does not include the construction time.

Our current annual output value is only 20 trillion Star Coins, which is only enough to build 100 ships!

How long would it take to build all one hundred ships?

Will they give us time?

And this is still the cheapest option.

If it's a main starship, such as the T5 Holy Redeemer-class heavy interstellar armored battleship, the cost of a single ship is as high as four trillion star coins, and our annual production value is only enough to build four ships.

Four!

Yes, there will be a generational advantage over the enemy's warships.

But what if the enemy doesn't engage you in direct combat at all?

Attack your supply ships, attack your rear.

Hundreds of thousands of interstellar warships are fighting a war of attrition against your four interstellar warships.

I discussed this issue with Marshal Chu Xuan.

These four T5 starships might be able to delay the inevitable for several years or even more than a decade.

However, the enemy will keep dragging it out and wearing it down.

Of course, if by then we can gather three hundred T5-level interstellar warships... no, even just one hundred would be enough.

However, the requirement is that all types of ships must be included.

How much is needed?

We've calculated it!

Forty-five T5 Hill King-class Heavy Interstellar Strategic Frigates, twenty-five T5 Chaos Knight-class Heavy Assault Interstellar Destroyers, fifteen T5 Lightning Ghost-class Heavy Assault Interstellar Cruisers, and ten T5 Frost Tyrant-class Heavy Interstellar Missile Battlecruisers.

Then the remaining ships are the T5 Holy Redeemer-class Heavy Interstellar Armored Cannon Battleship, the T5 Fire Kirin-class Heavy Carrier Starship, the T5 Sin Spear-class Heavy Interstellar Cannon Ship, and the T5 Crimson Reaper-class Heavy Interstellar Strategic Missile Ship, which are all main combat interstellar warships.

Do you know how much this costs?

Even disregarding construction time.

The cost alone would require fifty trillion Star Coins.

That's two whole years' worth of our current production capacity!

No other starships are built, no other starships are repaired, and there are no other construction missions.

All resources will be poured into the production capacity of these one hundred T5 starships.

Anne's expression was very serious, and she said solemnly, "Doesn't it seem like it's not impossible?"

It will take two years to acquire one hundred T5 interstellar warships.

I threw this question at the staff officers and officers in those departments.

Their conclusion was that this was an extremely risky suicidal act.

The success rate is less than 1%.

Who dares to bet that other trial civilizations won't discover us within the next two years?

And who knows what the situation will be like two years from now?

What should we do if the enemy attacks our star system and holds back these hundred T5 interstellar warships?

So we made our final decision.

This plan has been postponed indefinitely.

Several conditions must be met for it to be enabled.

First, we need a T5-level interstellar industrial base; second, our Xiaolong civilization's annual output value must exceed one hundred trillion star coins!

Only when these two conditions are met can we execute this plan.

So now we're focusing our attention on another project.

Super Flagship Plan!

After listening to Anne's analytical theory.

Zhao Chen was also persuaded.

"You've said so much."

"When will it be possible to meet our super flagship?" Zhao Chen asked this crucial question.

"It is highly likely that the first one to appear will be a near-T5 level Little Hades-class interstellar dreadnought."

The construction cost is estimated to be only one trillion Star Coins.

The construction work is now halfway complete.

It is expected to be ready for service in a year at most.

In addition, the theory has been completed and construction has begun.

There are also Demon King-class aircraft carrier starships.

This aircraft carrier starship will be launched relatively late, at the earliest it will be a year and a half later.

"But its combat effectiveness on the battlefield is absolutely beyond imagination," Anne said confidently.

If the two near-T5 super flagships were to make their debut, they would indeed greatly increase the current combat power of the Xiaolong civilization.

"Okay, then let's do it your way."

Fully commit to the Super Flagship Plan!

"I'm waiting for your good news," he said, patting Annie on the shoulder.

Anne raised her head, looking confident, and said, "Don't worry."

This task is a piece of cake.

I guarantee that the interstellar warships I build will absolutely blow the minds of those trial civilizations.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly.

Is it a super flagship?

He's waiting.

The next six months.

The five fleets of the Xiaolong civilization were deployed one after another.

Five wins in five battles.

This was something even those on the other side of deep space hadn't anticipated.

Supreme Conference Beyond Deep Space

The three civilization leaders looked at the two latest battle reports, which were delivered almost one after the other.

The expressions on their faces were quite interesting.

"This...this is impossible..."

"Six months ago, when we saw the first battle report, didn't we also think it was impossible?"

The facts, however, were laid bare before us, directly slapping us in the face!

President Korki of the Civilization raised his hand and opened five battle reports.

Five months ago.

It took place in a chaotic star system within the Beast Alliance.

A fleet of the Beast Alliance was completely wiped out in less than twelve hours.

Another Beast Alliance fleet, which was preparing to provide support, was intercepted en route and lost a third of its starships, including all of its T4 starships.

The corps commander was saved from the disaster by boarding a lifeboat in time.

In this battle, the Beast Alliance lost nearly 14,000 interstellar warships, including 1,000 T4 interstellar warships.

And just one month later.

In the home star system of the Beast Alliance, in a military port where a legion of fleets is stationed.

They were suddenly attacked.

This naval port, along with the entire fleet, was wiped out.

The loss of two and a half corps of fleets over two consecutive months enraged the Beast Alliance leadership.

It's important to understand that this loss is equivalent to the Beast Alliance having wasted all the interstellar warships they had prepared over the past year.

And in the time that follows.

The Beast Alliance is besieged on all sides, and all security measures have been raised to the highest level.

Defense levels have been raised at all key locations, and various anti-stealth devices have been deployed.

It's fair to say they see enemies everywhere.

But unexpectedly...

Forty days have passed.

A trial civilization was attacked, but this time it wasn't the Beast Alliance, but the Golden Eyes Mutual Aid Association, which had been watching the show all along.

They were a fleet of 30,000 interstellar warships responsible for expanding their galactic territory.

They were ambushed during a battle.

Thirty thousand interstellar warships were wiped out before reinforcements arrived.

This startled the Golden Eyes Mutual Aid Association, who had been watching from the sidelines. They had assumed the attackers were targeting the Beast Alliance.

But to their utter surprise, they were also affected.

And it was only half a month later.

Even with the utmost caution, the Golden Eyes Mutual Aid Association suffered a devastating blow to one of their resource star systems.

All production equipment was destroyed.

Originally, this star system had already generated an annual output value of two trillion star coins under their development.

However, this disruption directly caused production capacity to plummet to less than 100 billion Star Coins.

If we want to restore production capacity, it will take at least a year, and that doesn't even include the costs required for reconstruction.

In addition, they also lost 20,000 interstellar warships in this attack.

The losses can be described as quite severe.

This enraged two of the five trial forces, who began frantically searching for the attacker's identity.

The most suspected entities are naturally the other three trial civilizations.

This led to increased friction between the trial civilizations in the following period, and even battles that were originally small-scale escalated further.

But unexpectedly...

Three months later.

The Crimson Flame Federation has been attacked.

Originally, it was possible to rule out any connection between the Crimson Flame Federation and the attacker in the attack on the Crimson Flame Federation.

However, in this attack...

The Crimson Flame Federation suffered the least damage in the various attacks.

The number of lost interstellar warships was as high as 20,000.

However, upon closer examination, it was discovered that the vast majority of these were actually T2-class interstellar warships.

This is on a completely different level from the losses suffered by the Beast Alliance and the Golden Eye Mutual Aid Association!

This inevitably leads to conspiracy theories.

That is suspicion, and perhaps the Crimson Flame Federation is trying to reduce its own suspicion.

And the self-inflicted injury was used as a ruse.

This intensified the military operations of the Beast Alliance and the Golden Eyes Mutual Aid Association against the Crimson Flame Federation.

Only those who know the whole truth can understand how innocent the Crimson Flame Federation truly is.

"The first four times really made the two trial forces feel the pinch."

The fifth time may seem to have no practical value, but it made the situation even more murky.

"I must say, the higher-ups of the Xiaolong civilization are really smart," the president of the Korki civilization remarked.

“Not only are they intelligent, but their current military strength is also beyond imagination,” another civilization leader said.

The most important issue is...

To date, we have not yet figured out the exact number of interstellar warships the JF-17 civilization currently possesses, nor the coordinates of all their star systems.

The old saying that raising tigers would cause trouble was perhaps just a concern.

But now I have reason to doubt.

We're not raising a tiger anymore, we're raising a real dragon!
