T3 Furnace-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ship - First Ship

Zhao Chen walked into the control room, where he could see a busy crowd, each person like a constantly turning gear.

Because he was so engrossed in his work, he didn't notice Zhao Chen's arrival at first.

Then a dwarf engineer, head down looking at documents, walked along and bumped into the commander's arms.

The dwarf engineer fell to the ground, clutching his head in pain.

Are you alright?

A hand reached out and asked with concern.

When she looked up and saw the man in front of her, she immediately jumped up and exclaimed, "Commander!"

Her shout finally alerted those around her to the presence of the commander and his entourage.

"It's the commander!"

"I actually saw the Commander! Am I dreaming from exhaustion?"

Zhao Chen noticed the scene was getting out of control and looked at Lilith beside him.

Lilith understood immediately and began to restore order, getting everyone back to their posts. The commander also brought some gifts, which would be distributed later.

Order was quickly restored, and everyone was even more motivated, perhaps because they saw the commander there.

“Your name is Nana, right? I remember you. You’re Annie’s sister.” Zhao Chen looked at the dwarf woman he had just bumped into.

"It's...it's me...Sister Annie didn't know you were coming...she was just resting...I'll go get her right away." Nana was a little nervous and immediately prepared to go find her sister.

But Zhao Chen stopped her: "Since Annie has just rested, don't disturb her. Just take me to see where you work."

"OK."

Nana swallowed hard and led the way for Zhao Chen.

Am I scary?

"Ah? No...no!" Nana shook her head repeatedly.

Zhao Chen laughed and said, "Then why do you look like I'm going to eat you up?"

"No...no, I'm just too nervous," Nana said softly.

After all, the person standing in front of us is the Commander!

"Don't be nervous, just be like how your sister is with me," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Nana didn't say anything; she probably wouldn't dare to interact with the commander like her sister did.

"Do you work here too?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Yes, I used to work at the Dwarf Industrial Park in the Xiaolong Galaxy. The person in charge there saw that I was capable and gave me the opportunity to study on the Goddess Academy starship."

After I finished my studies, I went to work at the T3 furnace and, by chance, became my sister's secretary.

"My main responsibility is to assist my sister with her work," Nana explained.

Zhao Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

To have such outstanding technical skills at such a young age, she truly deserves to be called Annie's sister.

With a little training, she could become the next Anne.

Thinking of all this, Zhao Chen looked at Nana with even more fervor.

Nana was somewhat at a loss.

Just then, we arrived at a small room in the main control room, which was the chief engineer's office.

The door opened automatically, revealing bright lights inside.

In the corner, you can see a makeshift bed on the floor, where Annie is sprawled out with her arms and legs outstretched, fast asleep like a starfish, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

There were also empty lunchboxes next to it, left uncollected after the meal.

Annie suddenly raised her hand, and Zhao Chen and the others stopped in their tracks. Had such a small noise woken her up?

Annie scratched her lower abdomen, then fell silent again.

"Sister Niu... your roasted beef leg smells so good..."

Annie was talking in her sleep and making smacking noises with her lips.

Seeing this, Nana blushed with embarrassment. Her sister's posture was so shameful, and the Commander had seen it...

But Zhao Chen was already used to Annie being like this.

Because of her sleeping position with her head down, her belly was showing through her shirt.

Zhao Chen took off his coat and covered Annie with it.

Anne's nose twitched slightly, she frowned slightly, and muttered, "Sister Niu... I... I smell... the scent of the unscrupulous commander..."

That...big bad guy...all he does is...bully Annie...

Hmph... If you bully me again... if you bully me again... Annie... next time... I'll put a power drill on his captain's chair... hehehe..."

The air seemed to fall silent at that moment.

Nana, standing to the side, kept her head down, her toes practically bulging out an interstellar warship in embarrassment.

Zhao Chen remained expressionless as he looked at Lilith behind him, who was barely suppressing her laughter: "From now on, Annie will sit in the captain's chair on my flagship ten times first."

“Yes...” Lilith suppressed a laugh.

Zhao Chen looked at Nana beside him: "Since you are Annie's secretary and assistant, you should be familiar with the things she is responsible for, right?"

"Mmm." Nana nodded nervously.

"Then come over and report to me on the progress of the construction plan." Zhao Chen walked out of the room, with Nana and Lilith following behind.

Nana raised her hand, opened several databases, and provided some of the information to the commander for review.

"First is our partner, Beiyan Group, whose T2 Iron Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships have been expanded to three thousand."

Some of the recently delivered T2 starships were built by the Beiyan Group.

Zhao Chen looked at the data on the Beiyan Starship Technology Group.

With the receipt of final payments for military procurement orders, Beiyan Starship Technology Group is currently in a very good financial situation and is fully capable of undertaking the construction of a large number of T2 interstellar warships.

At the same time, it can also take into account the starship orders from various forces in the Star Empire.

Nana continued, "In our own case, the number of T3 furnaces has been successfully expanded to thirty."

Because the main focus during this period was on expanding the T3 furnace, the production plans for other interstellar warships were delayed.

However, once the newly built T3 furnace is put into production, this part of the delayed construction plan can be made up.

"Nana, do you think... thirty T3 furnaces are enough?" Zhao Chen rubbed his chin and suddenly blurted out a surprising question.

This made Nana and Lilith look at the Commander.

Annie, who was sleeping next door, couldn't help but shiver and frown, as if she had dreamt of something bad.

"The production capacity of these thirty T3 furnaces, taking the T3 Blizzard-class light interstellar battlecruiser as an example, is only enough to produce 150 T3 Blizzards per month."

"It would take a full twenty months to produce a fleet of three thousand ships." Zhao Chen rubbed his chin, somewhat dissatisfied.
