"I've heard that there's a culture within His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Interstellar Empire that involves discussing matters over the dinner table."

"Why don't we grab something to eat while we chat?" said Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine.

Now that I've joined the Dragon Star Empire, I'll naturally have some understanding of the Dragon Emperor's habits.

I know some of the habits of the Dragon Emperor.

“I have no objection.” Zhao Chen looked at Sivana.

Sivana immediately said, "I'm hungry!"

Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine looked at Shyvana. She knew her'sister's' usual personality; she never liked banquet-style occasions.

But now that she has been defeated by the Dragon Emperor, she will become a loyal dog.

She would generally have no objections to the suggestions made by the Dragon Emperor.

Soon, under the organization of the Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine, Zhao Chen and Shyvana sat together.

The dishes prepared not only reflected the characteristics of the Black God civilization but also took into account the personal dietary habits of the Dragon Emperor.

Just by looking at these delicious-looking dishes, Zhao Chen knew that they had been carefully prepared by the Black Goddess Empress Black Lorin.

During this process, Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine briefly explained to Shyvana the work required of the Dragon Emperor.

Sivana listened attentively to the entire requirements plan.

She thought for a moment and said, "You've already finalized the entire plan, and there shouldn't be any major problems with its execution."

I have a question.

How much time will it take to complete these processes?

We can obtain samples of the initial state of the universe's resources, and then we need to determine how much time it will take to establish a long-term transportation route.

Zhao Chen asked a question that was currently his biggest concern.

Sivana thought for a moment.

After thinking for a few seconds, she answered seriously: "This is part of the plan."

From contacting the Far Voyage Society to traveling to the universe of the Saintess Civilization, if it was merely to retrieve samples...

We could easily send an interstellar mining ship in to collect some resources.

Even without the cover-up by local companies, it wouldn't be a problem for us to retrieve a small number of samples from just one ship.

Going through this process should take about three months without any problems.

If you want to establish a long-term supply chain.

That would require a company as a cover, and the establishment of a relationship of mutual benefit with the local nobility.

Then, establishing a stable supply chain will take another three to six months.

Moreover, in order to avoid attracting the attention of local forces, the entire process needs to be kept as secret as possible.

"This will have a significant impact on production needs," Shivana said seriously.

Zhao Chen looked at this burly woman with some surprise. She had been acting like a battle maniac before, but now she was talking about doing business so knowledgeably.

It's completely different from what I had in mind before.

The Black Goddess Empress, Black Lorraine, noticed Zhao Chen's expression and explained with a smile, "Shyvana used to be a space pirate."

She has her own fleet and is quite familiar with the gray market.

Sometimes they would collect protection fees from interstellar traders or help them with certain tasks.

Over time, I became familiar with these industries.

Later, she caused quite a stir and offended a powerful figure.

It also alarmed me, as I was surrounded by a fleet several times larger than myself. In the end, I discovered her information and realized that she was a promising talent.

So they brought him under their command.

So that's what happened in the past.

“Shivana, if I entrust this matter entirely to you.”

"How confident are you that you can handle this?" Zhao Chen looked at Shivana seriously.

After a pause, Zhao Chen added, "Funding is not a problem."

"Any amount of money is acceptable, as long as it can be done!"

The resources of the Primordial Universe are crucial to the research and development of the T7 technological civilization, which in turn determines the future fate of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Therefore, Zhao Chen was naturally willing to pay any price.

If this matter can really be resolved with money alone, then for Zhao Chen, it would actually be a good thing.

Sivana shook her head at this moment: "Money is actually a small matter."

Most importantly, there are other aspects.

“You raise the issue, and we’ll resolve it,” Zhao Chen said decisively.

Shyvana continued, "First, there's the matter of interstellar mining ships. I know about the initial state of the universe, that environment..."

“Our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has T6-class interstellar mining ships, which are fully capable of undertaking operational tasks in this environment,” Zhao Chen said.

"Another area is interstellar transport ships."

Since we need to disguise our identities, we need a fleet of interstellar transport ships as a facade.

I can actually handle this part; I can spend money to buy a batch of old interstellar transport ships.

But the most important thing is the interplanetary transport ships that are actually used for this project.

This was due to the importance of secrecy in this operation.

Therefore, it's best not to have too many interstellar transport ships engaged in this type of transport.

However, due to the special nature of the initial-state universe resources you are collecting, the corresponding transportation conditions must be met.

Then, ideally, it should possess some degree of stealth ability.

“Our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has T6-class interstellar transport ships,” Zhao Chen said.

"I just mentioned concealment."

The entire operation and flight path need to be under our control.

We need an intelligence network.

I can manage the intelligence networks between various factions by cultivating personal connections.

Most importantly, there are those patrol starships; they appear from time to time.

Therefore, we need to have enough 'eyes' in a certain area so that we can know in advance if a patrolling starship or other starships pass by.

At the same time, we must not disturb them.

"We have a T6-class interplanetary stealth reconnaissance ship!"

"This task can be carried out," Zhao Chen replied again.

"Now that these arrangements are complete, we also need to prepare for the possibility of being discovered by the enemy."

Preparations to kill and silence witnesses.

Once discovered, our only remedial measure is to eliminate the enemy's starships as quickly as possible.

If the situation escalates and alarms are alerted, interstellar warships will be needed to cover the evacuation of these operational fleets.

Therefore, these combat-type interstellar warships need to have stealth capabilities.

This is the only way to maintain a long-term presence in the target area.

"have.

T6-class stealth interstellar bomber!

I can provide you with as much as you need.

Three hundred ships, three thousand ships.

None of that is a problem. Zhao Chen was able to answer all of Shyvana's questions in the shortest amount of time.

This gave Shyvana a sense of comfort; it was so pleasant to work for someone like that.

"Any other questions?" Zhao Chen asked when he saw that Shivana had stopped talking.

Sivana thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "These are the issues for now."

Zhao Chen nodded, then said seriously, "How much of these do you need? Write a report."

I'll arrange everything for you within a day.

I hope this plan can be launched within three days.

There's still a little bit left.

I cannot be the one to openly participate in this opportunity.

Although I have always operated in the gray area.

But basically all the major powers know that I am Black Goddess Empress Black Lorraine's person.

If it were before, things would be fine; my identity would still give me some advantages in the Saintess Civilization.

But now, everyone knows that the Devouring Civilization is gone, and the current civilization is the Black God Civilization.

Furthermore, they are still at war with the Holy Maiden Civilization.

"Therefore, I can only make arrangements behind the scenes. This requires you to send someone who can handle most situations and cooperate with my actions," Shivana said.

When I heard about this character...

Zhao Chen showed a thoughtful expression.

"What are your requirements for such a person?" Zhao Chen asked.

"First of all, this person naturally needs to be able to deal with any force in a situation."

Furthermore, this person should ideally also have some leadership skills.

It has a certain prestige and deterrent effect on the starship fleets you deploy later.

Listen to the demands made by Sivana.

Several candidates had already come to mind for Zhao Chen.

"I will tell you who this person is within three days," Zhao Chen said.

After that, we chatted about some unimportant things, such as inquiring about the current war situation of the Black God Civilization.

After that, Zhao Chen did not delay.

We've returned to the Dragon Star Empire.

Upon returning, Zhao Chen immediately discussed his shortlisted candidates with Lilith's secretary.

"Shivana needs a few candidates."

According to her request.

These are a few candidates that come to mind.

"Which one do you think is the most suitable?" Zhao Chen asked.

Lilith glanced at it, then looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "So you only look at abilities, right?"

Faced with Lilith's question, Zhao Chen seemed to have thought of something. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

“Then I think this person is the most suitable.” Lilith pointed to one of the candidates.

But she said in a deep voice, "There is something you probably don't know yet."

“I know, I found out about it immediately.” Zhao Chen sat in the chair.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Is this the most appropriate option right now?"

"Yes, both in terms of ability and coping skills."

"They are all the most suitable." Lilith said seriously.

"I understand. I'll handle this personally." Zhao Chen slowly stood up.

Lilith watched his departing figure.

For some reason, Zhao Chen's back view now has a different feel than Zhao Chen's before.

Especially after the case involving the Chu family occurred.

Zhao Chen often sits on the throne in a daze, as if something or some emotion is weighing on her mind.
