Although this T3 Flame Dragon-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer is not as striking as the T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser and the T3 Phantom Assassin-class Light Interstellar Stealth Bomber of the same class, it appears very 'mediocre'.

Indeed, mediocrity is the characteristic of this Interstellar Destroyer; it is very comprehensive, performing well in terms of speed, combat power, and hull armor.

At least among the Galactic Alliance's Interstellar Destroyers, if it dares to claim second, no one would dare to claim first.

The most important point is that its cost is only five million star coins!

This is definitely about 30% cheaper than the T3 Interstellar Destroyers on the market!

With this Starship, Zhao Chen is absolutely confident that he can convince Governor Chu!

Of course, when editing the Starship technology, Zhao Chen placed a very secret backdoor in the Starship system software.

As long as a specific signal is received, any Starship built with Zhao Chen's technology will instantly paralyze or even self-destruct!

When cooperating with anyone, one must be cautious.

There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends.

As a top Starship engineer, Zhao Chen is absolutely confident that no one in the entire Galactic Alliance can detect the backdoor within fifty years!

As for fifty years later, Zhao Chen doesn't care about things that far in the future.

"Grandpa Chu, if you are truly willing to cooperate with me, we will both get what we need. If I really manage to develop a highly cost-effective T4 Interstellar Destroyer, it's not impossible for me to help you win this thousand-year war against the Mechanical Race."

"But... if you treat me like a pushover... then no one will have an easy time." Zhao Chen's expression was grim.

Chu River Star Region · Governor's Mansion

Governor Chu slowly walked out of his office and into the garden-like courtyard outside, followed by a short old man a few years younger than him.

"Master, do you really believe that young man has the ability to develop T4 starships?" the short old man asked.

During the entire conversation, besides Zhao Chen and Governor Chu, this short old man was also aware of the process.

Because this short old man was Chu Changhe's most trusted person besides his granddaughter; both were old comrades who could entrust their lives to each other.

"Old Ding, you know. I have two wishes in my life. One is to see Chu Xuan grow up happily, get married, and have children.

The other is to flatten the Mechanical Race, to end this war that our Chu family has fought for nearly a thousand years, for my son, daughter-in-law, and all the Chu family members who died on the battlefield.

I want to crush their Mechanical Royal City and use my flagship to blast those damned steel lumps!

That kid is right; relying solely on the two T4 starships we have, we are sufficient for defense but lacking in counterattacks.

Because those two T4 starships cannot be mass-produced!

Over the years, I have established several Starship research labs in the Chu River Star Region, investing countless research funds.

What for?

Isn't it to develop a T4 starship that can be mass-produced, allowing us to lead our fleet and counterattack the Mechanical Race!"

Governor Chu looked up at the starry sky: "Old Ding, I don't have much time left.

I am willing to take a gamble with this kid. If I win, I can close my eyes in peace!"

"Then we can completely tie him up, threaten him in various ways, if hard doesn't work, then soft, a honey trap!

They all say heroes can't resist beauty!

I'll find him women from all interstellar civilizations, two-legged, four-legged, eight-legged, even two-headed ones! I don't believe I can't handle him!" Old Ding said fiercely.

"I had that thought earlier, but now we can't do that.

Because of that kid's performance with the T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser in this Two Academies teacher and student rescue mission, the entire Starlight Empire is keeping an eye on him.

If we directly abduct him, even if our Chu family is powerful, can we really go against the entire Empire?

At the same time, he also threatened us just now; if we dare to imprison him, he will turn against us.

Daring to say that to me, this kid's temper is quite to my liking."

Governor Chu raised his hand and brought up all the data regarding this incident, as well as the holographic image of that T3 Blizzard.

"Old Ding, you've seen the data about him. How do you evaluate this young man?"

Old Ding pondered for a moment, then pointed to a section ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ in the data: "In this rescue operation, he single-handedly saved the teachers and students of the Two Academies, and each of them was an outstanding student of the Two Academies.

According to normal thinking, isn't this a great time to build connections with these people?

After all, this is a life-saving grace!

But what about this kid? He actually sold meals on the Starship, and even set prices at three, ten, thirty, or even one hundred times the original.

Isn't this offending a lot of people for just a few tens of thousands of star coins?

This is a bit too foolish, isn't it?

However, combining this with his previous performance at North Star Academy, he indeed has such a direct and crazy personality.

It's quite consistent with the eccentric personalities of Starship engineers.

Based on these factors, he poses no significant threat to us, and at the same time, this series of events has led him to make enemies with various forces, including Heaven's Glory Academy.

This kid has narrowed his own path."

Governor Chu laughed loudly, saying: "I, however, think that this whole series of events might just be a play put on by that kid!"

Old Ding was stunned, then carefully pondered Governor Chu's words, frowning and shaking his head repeatedly: "Impossible! Impossible! How could this kid have such depth and cunning?"

"Forget it, forget it. Chu Xuan has a good relationship with that kid. Since he has such ability, let's see his so-called'skill' later before making a decision.

I hope this kid doesn't disappoint me." Governor Chu and Old Ding then began chatting and discussing matters in the courtyard.

Several hours later, an encrypted data file was sent to his mailbox.

Governor Chu and Old Ding exchanged glances. Governor Chu did not avoid Old Ding and directly opened the technical blueprint in front of him.

"It's a complete set of technical blueprints, with nothing held back." Governor Chu glanced at it, somewhat surprised.

Then, as the two studied it carefully, their expressions began to turn serious.

Governor Chu said sternly: "Old Ding, immediately contact all the Starship engineers and Starship scientists from Chu He First Starship Research Institute, Second Starship Research Institute, and Fourth Starship Research Institute!"

"I want them to provide me with a discussion report on this Starship technology within the shortest possible time!"

"Yes!" Old Ding understood the importance of this matter and couldn't help but murmur the name of that Starship.

T3 Fire Dragon...

Does that kid really have the ability to develop a T4 starship?
