"Quarterly mission completed, mission rewards available for collection."

After Zhao Chen officially delivered the one hundred and thirteen Interstellar Warship, he received a notification that the quarterly mission was complete.

He opened the system mission interface.

With a thought.

"Collect mission rewards!"

"Mission rewards collected. Congratulations on obtaining the t3 great white whale-class heavy interstellar transport ship technical blueprint."

This time, Zhao Chen received an auxiliary T3 Interstellar Warship.

"An Interstellar Transport Ship, that's perfect for future interstellar trade," Zhao Chen muttered to himself. He estimated that if Li Yaqi saw °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° this Interstellar Transport Ship, she would react as if she had discovered a treasure trove.

In the field of interstellar trade, Interstellar Mining Ships and Interstellar Transport Ships are the two mainstays of auxiliary Interstellar Warship.

Because they represent the two major markets of interstellar trade.

"Commander, the Snake People's Interstellar Warship have all left," Secretary Lilith reminded him from the side.

"Then we'll also prepare to return to the Owl Dragon Star System. However, we need to strengthen close monitoring of the Reef Starfield. Any situation must be reported to me immediately!" Zhao Chen instructed.

"Yes."

The Reef Starfield now was like a pile of dry kindling; just a tiny spark could ignite it.

Next, they just needed to wait for the right moment.

Upon Zhao Chen's return, he received a message from Chief Engineer Annie.

The T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship had been completed.

This news was even more important than Zhao Chen selling a hundred Interstellar Warship.

Zhao Chen immediately arranged for his flagship, the T3 Phoenix, to sail to the construction area of the T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship.

Here, five T3 Furnace-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ships, having completed their tasks, were preparing to head to their next 'construction site'.

And there was the brand-new T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship.

This Starship's hull had no weapon modules, not even close-in weapons systems.

It looked completely harmless.

Who would have thought that such an unassuming Starship was actually a t4-level interstellar warship, and it even utilized powerful black technology!

"Can we board it now?" Zhao Chen asked Chief Engineer Annie. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Yes, the Starship can now perform basic performance operations," Chief Engineer Annie replied.

"Alright, let's go up and take a look." Zhao Chen immediately prepared to board this T4 starship, which had taken nearly half a year to build. This was a project that cost him ten billion star coins in raw materials!

Zhao Chen took a shuttle, bringing Secretary Lilith with him, and boarded the T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship's hangar.

Chief Engineer Annie was already waiting there.

"How is it? I've completed this massive project!" Chief Engineer Annie put her hands on her hips, looking proud.

But the figure beside her directly bypassed her and walked straight inside.

Chief Engineer Annie was completely ignored.

"T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship Unit 1 system prompt: Host system detected... Initiating system link... Please wait 300 seconds."

A soft female voice, slightly different from the system's voice, echoed in Zhao Chen's mind.

Then, it seemed as if many data streams appeared before his eyes.

"Commander, this is your first time boarding this Starship. Let me introduce you to this T4..." Annie still wanted to show off.

But Zhao Chen directly raised his hand, opened a technical panel, and said, "Let's go to the most core cabin first."

After speaking, Zhao Chen summoned a hovering elevator, his familiar demeanor as if he were returning home.

Lilith followed Zhao Chen onto the hovering elevator, and Annie, surprised, quickly followed behind.

She looked at Zhao Chen with confusion, wondering why he was so familiar with the Starship, even though he had provided the technical blueprints, this was his first time boarding it.

She had prepared a speech to show off her talents and abilities.

Now, she felt like she was punching a marshmallow.

Soon, the hovering elevator stopped.

Zhao Chen and the others arrived at one of the core cabins of this T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship. It was a huge, oval, honeycomb-shaped cabin.

Zhao Chen stood in the middle, looking up to see dozens of layers of 'compartments', each 'compartment' being a cultivation pod.

Zhao Chen walked to the edge and looked down, seeing dozens more layers of these cultivation pods.

"This... it's making my scalp tingle..." Secretary Lilith felt a chilling sensation looking at the densely packed cultivation pods.

And whether it was necessary for the cabin or not, the entire cabin used dim lighting, which further added to the eerie feeling.

"This is..." Annie was about to excitedly introduce it.

A voice directly sounded.

"This is the T4 Rebirth-class Clone Starship's clone cultivation pod. By collecting the corresponding genes, clones can be cultivated.

Inside the cultivation pod, one hour is equivalent to twenty years for a person in the outside world, allowing the clone's body to quickly enter an adult state.

After cultivation is complete, these cultivation pods will open, and specialized cultivation robots will take them to the recuperation room.

After a clone is born, it still needs a week to fully familiarize itself with its entire body," Zhao Chen said.

Annie, whose lines were stolen by Zhao Chen, could only pout and cross her arms.

"There are a hundred such cabins on this Starship, totaling one million cultivation pods. This means that if cultivation is carried out non-stop for 24 hours a day, 24 million 'clone bodies' can be directly cultivated," Zhao Chen said.

This knowledge had automatically loaded into Zhao Chen's mind when the system connected with the Starship earlier.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he continued to take the hovering elevator to the next location.

Finally, the hovering elevator stopped in front of a closed door.

"Oh, by the way, this place is very strange. Even my authority can't open it," Chief Engineer Annie said, pointing at the door with her hands on her hips.

Secretary Lilith was secretly surprised beside her; Chief Engineer Annie's authority level was the same as hers.

Chief Engineer Annie could even, when necessary, go to any Starship of the Xiaolong Fleet without prior notice.

This was the highest authority personally granted by Zhao Chen.

"You all wait here." Zhao Chen said with a serious expression, walking towards the door.

The moment Zhao Chen walked towards the door, it opened.

After Zhao Chen entered, the door closed.

Chief Engineer Annie suspiciously tried reaching out to the door, and then a warning sound came.

"Unauthorized life forms detected. Please do not enter this area. If dangerous behavior is observed, high-voltage electric shock will be administered."

Crackling sounds.

On both sides of the door, six electromagnetic emitters appeared, all aimed at Annie's head.

Annie swallowed, withdrew her hand, and obediently stepped back a few paces, her hands behind her back, muttering softly, "How come I don't remember there being electromagnetic emitter equipment here?

Luckily, I didn't try to force my way in out of curiosity before, otherwise..."
