The construction cost of a single T5 Chaos Knight-class Heavy Assault Star Destroyer is around 200 billion Star Credits.

Furthermore, the construction task can be undertaken by the T4 Gemini heavy interplanetary industrial ship.

Assuming it is built by a T4 Gemini heavy interplanetary industrial ship, it is estimated that it will take 50 months to complete.

Currently, Zhao Chen has nearly one hundred T4 Gemini-class heavy interstellar industrial ships under his command. Theoretically, he can build two T5 Chaos Knight-class heavy assault interstellar destroyers in a month.

Of course, this only exists in theory.

"200 billion star coins per unit? When you think about it, the 3 trillion star coins for a T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought doesn't seem so expensive," Zhao Chen muttered.

He suddenly realized that the T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought was not entirely built by him; the key core technology, the 'Hades Matrix Module,' was directly provided by the system.

Who knows how much this thing actually costs to build?

I don't want to think about it anymore.

"If we can build a few of these T5 Chaos Knight-class Heavy Assault Star Destroyers in the future, we'll have more confidence when facing the Demon fleet." Zhao Chen muttered to himself.

They obtained the technical blueprints for a T5-class interstellar warship.

That's far from enough.

At this point, Zhao Chen should have been trying to find a way to exchange for another T5-level industrial base, but with the annual mission in place, there was no need for that.

Zhao Chen rubbed his chin, pondering his current needs.

Even with the T5 Chaos Knight-class Heavy Assault Star Destroyer, Zhao Chen still felt something was missing.

Oh, right!

Although Zhao Chen is not currently suitable to exchange for those high-level ship types.

However, there is one ship type that is quite suitable.

Star Cruiser!

This is also a type of interstellar warship that can change a local war by relying on its own ship type, or even a single interstellar warship.

Zhao Chen began searching for a suitable target in the T5 Mall.

Finally, his eyes fixed on one option.

This is it!

【Would you like to spend 20 million system points and 800 mission points to exchange for the 'T5 Lightning Ghost-class Heavy Assault Star Cruiser' blueprint?】

Sure.

【Congratulations on obtaining the 'T5 Lightning Ghost-class Heavy Assault Star Cruiser' blueprint, after consuming 20 million system points and 800 mission points.】

【Remaining System Points: 4.77 million】

【Remaining mission points: 50】

Zhao Chen immediately checked the data of his second mass-produced T5-class interstellar warship.

Lightning Ghost-class Heavy Assault Star Cruiser

Technology Level: T5

Ship armor strength: 150,000-180,000 units

Star Shield Energy: 5 million units

Cruise speed: 1500 knots

Warp Drive: Level 9 Warp Drive

Length: 19.3 km 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Mass: 9.97 million tons

Number of positions: 12,000

Starship weapons:

Thirty-eight heavy railguns

Three hundred heavy electromagnetic pulse rapid-fire cannons

Three hundred fully automatic medium-sized electromagnetic close-in weapon systems

Special features or equipment:

Secondary Space Warp Engine (capable of short-distance space warps)

This is a relatively rare interstellar cruiser.

Because star cruisers mostly prioritize high-speed maneuverability and do not use heavy machine platforms.

This interstellar heavy cruiser was equipped with a short-range acceleration module, which made up for its speed problem on the battlefield.

Furthermore, its design as a star cruiser inherently makes its speed quite fast.

Its firepower is also quite comprehensive, surpassing that of the T5 Chaos Knight-class Heavy Assault Star Destroyer.

In addition, this T5 Lightning Ghost-class heavy assault star cruiser has a special capability: short-range space warp.

Previously, because of the Pluto, Zhao Chen mistakenly believed that all T5-class interstellar warships possessed space warp capabilities.

But when I checked the T5 Mall now, I found that it wasn't like that.

For example, the T5 Chaos Knight does not have the ability to teleport.

The T5 Lightning Ghost is equipped with only a'secondary space jump engine', which, as the name suggests, is a stripped-down version.

The space warp distance of the Hades-class interstellar dreadnought is quite far, even exceeding the distance of a T4-class stargate.

The T5 Lightning Ghost, equipped with a secondary space jump engine, can only perform space jumps over a distance of one galaxy.

Compared to traveling, this function is more about combat missions such as infiltration and interception of enemy fleets.

Furthermore, as it is a heavy interstellar warship, its armor strength is even higher.

If it really can't hold on any longer, it can rely on its high speed to retreat from the battlefield.

Moreover, its reset cooldown time is extremely short, often allowing for several spatial jumps during a single battle.

Each ship costs approximately 320 billion Star Credits and can be built by a T4 Gemini heavy interstellar industrial ship, with a construction time of 80 man-hours.

T5 Chaos Knight-class Heavy Assault Star Destroyer!

T5 Lightning Ghost-class Heavy Assault Star Cruiser!

Zhao Chen looked at his two starship technologies with great satisfaction.

With these two mass-produced T5-class interstellar warships, building just a few would be enough to keep the JF-17 Legion in check.

If the number reaches double digits... it's hard to imagine what the scene would be like.

"I wonder if the first batch of mass-produced T5-class interstellar warships will be able to roll off the production line and enter service before the end of the year."

Zhao Chen rubbed his chin and pressed the communication button next to him.

Lilith's image appeared before Zhao Chen's eyes.

"Commander, what are your orders?" Lilith asked, who was doing her work.

"Please contact Annie for me... if things aren't too busy in the Xiaolong Galaxy."

Let's just call her over.

I told her to come to Warhammer for a vacation.

"Call Nana and Elise the Spider Queen as well," Zhao Chen instructed.

The chief engineers will be responsible for putting the two mass-produced T5-class interstellar warships into production.

In addition, it would be a good opportunity to have them come to Warhammer to integrate various aspects of the starship industry, establish three centralized starship industrial groups, and develop a detailed blueprint.

This achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

“Okay, I’ll arrange the schedule for these chief engineers right away.” Lilith noted down the schedule.

Lilith then spoke up, her expression somewhat serious: "Commander, I have something to report to you."

However... I suggest... that you come in person.”

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.

"We cleaned up the battlefield and collected some wreckage of Daemon spaceships."

"We made some discoveries in there," Lilith explained.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Zhao Chen immediately stood up.

He was still very curious about the internal structure of the Demon race's interstellar warships.
