239: Orders keep coming
The Immortal-Level Expert was named Chen Chuan, a personal disciple of Venerable Lyra.
He looked at the adjutant beside him and asked, "What's the story with the warships at Blood River Fortress?"
The adjutant operated the Terminal, pulling up the data, and his brows immediately knitted together.
"My Lord, these warships were leased by Blood River from Star Sea Company at a high price."
Chen Chuan asked urgently, "Where is Blood River himself?"
"Unclear."
"Unclear?"
"Blood River Fortress is the frontline position he's responsible for defending. You're telling me you don't know where he went?"
The adjutant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stammering, unable to answer a single word for a long time.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that for now. Find out the background of this Star Sea Company first; this is very important to us."
The adjutant operated the Terminal, logged onto the Star Sea Official website, and handed the panel over.
Chen Chuan took the panel and scanned it briefly, his brows gradually sinking.
"From the Milky Way Galaxy... I remember the personal disciple of the Three Great Venerables seems to be from the Milky Way Galaxy. Could this Star Sea Company be Wang Chao's property?"
"Yes."
"Is there a channel to contact Star Sea? Ask them how many more warships of this specification they have. Lease as many as they have, and the fees will be drawn from my account first."
The adjutant took back the Terminal and operated it quickly, attempting to contact the manual customer service on the official page.
[Do you have any extra warships available on your end, of the same specification as the ones at Blood River Fortress?]
The message was replied to in seconds.
[Yes, there are 79 remaining.]
[What is the rent?]
[Leasing services are currently not provided; they can be purchased directly at cost price.]
Chen Chuan's brows shot up when he saw the reply.
"There's such a good deal?"
[Specifically, how much money is needed?]
[The price for one warship is: one million tons of seven-colored star marrow crystals, and ten thousand tons of Iridescent Star Marrow Crystals.]
[Delivery within three days.]
As a veteran Immortal-Level Expert, Chen Chuan's territory spanned ten worlds, ten times the size of the Milky Way Galaxy's sphere of influence.
He also had a certain understanding of the manufacturing costs of high-end warships.
One million tons of seven-colored star marrow crystals and ten thousand tons of Iridescent Star Marrow Crystals couldn't even buy a titan ship with the top configuration on the market.
Yet Star Sea's warships completely crushed the top warships on the market in terms of performance, while the price was only two-thirds of theirs.
Chen Chuan said urgently, "Buy! Pre-order ten thousand ships first, send the money directly!"
"By the way, how long will it take to deliver ten thousand titan ships?"
[We want to pre-order ten thousand ships. How long will the delivery take?]
[Three days.]
"Also three days?"
"Such production capacity!"
Chen Chuan felt a chill run down his spine. Production capacity of this level was something even all the top shipyards of the Human Alliance combined could not compare to.
[How to trade?]
[seven-colored star marrow crystals can be paid directly using a UnionPay card. Iridescent Star Marrow Crystals need to be delivered to the Milky Way Galaxy by a professional transport fleet.]
"My Lord."
Chen Chuan immediately made a decision.
"Buy!"
"Go arrange it now. Have the Internal Affairs Office immediately organize a transport team. You must deliver one hundred million tons of Iridescent Star Marrow Crystals to the Milky Way Galaxy in the shortest possible time. Don't worry about transport costs; activate the highest level of warp mode!"
"My Lord, I will go do it immediately."
Watching the adjutant's departing back, Chen Chuan took out his Terminal and urgently dialed a number.
"Chen Chuan, I'm busy. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Intense sounds of battle and shouting came from the other end of the call.
"I'm sending you a video. You'll understand after watching it. If you want warships of that level, log onto the Star Sea Official website immediately. I've sent the link as well."
"Remember to pass the news along so more people know about this."
After hanging up, Chen Chuan contacted several other Immortal Level friends and briefly described the matter.
In less than a day, the Star Sea Official website took production orders for 1.7 million titan ships.
Shipyards across all star sectors of the Milky Way Galaxy went into full production, operating at high speed under jarvis's control.
Large transport ships loaded with massive amounts of finished materials arrived at the Starports, and these goods were sent directly into the factory areas through star gates.
The factory areas were completely empty of people.
Giant transport vehicles shuttled back and forth, and mechanical arms worked like they were assembling model toys, quickly piecing together the prototypes of titan ships from nothing.
On average, one large shipyard could produce six titan ships within three days.
And there were as many as a million such large shipyards in the Milky Way Galaxy.
As long as the materials were in place, they could produce six million ships in a single day.
The reason it took Star Sea a thousand years to build ten thousand ships was entirely due to the shortage of materials.
In less than ten days, almost every Immortal-Level Expert in the Human Alliance had placed a large number of orders on Star Sea's official website.
Large transport ships and passenger spacecraft flooded into the Milky Way Galaxy.
The areas near the shipyards of major star systems, in particular, were packed with spacecraft.
Often, as soon as a warship left the factory and before it even departed the Starport, it would be quickly taken over by an Immortal Level team that had been waiting at the port. They would board, activate the warp sequence, and head straight for the frontline battlefield.
At a Starport.
"What is wrong with you people?"
"Line up by number!"
A middle-aged man in a blood-stained officer's uniform pushed aside a young man blocking his way and snorted coldly. "Get lost! I'm from Qingcheng Fortress, and we're about to lose our position over there. Anyone who dares to snatch a ship from us is a mortal enemy of the King of Qingcheng!"
Hearing this, the young man frowned and could only step aside.
"Brother, our side can still hold out for a few more days. We'll let you have this batch of warships first."
The middle-aged man sighed, lowered his head, and bowed.
"I'm sorry. The front line is in dire straits, and I got a bit anxious. My apologies, brother."
The young man chuckled and replied, "It's fine, we're all on the same side."
In three days, the Milky Way Galaxy delivered a total of 2.3 million Titan-class warships.
Instead of decreasing, the orders surged tenfold, and they were now being placed collectively by the high-level leadership of the Human Alliance.
To improve transport efficiency, the Human Alliance spared no expense to open two giant star gates between the front line and the Milky Way Galaxy that required a massive amount of Iridescent Star Marrow Crystals to maintain.
One was responsible for transporting resources, and the other led directly to the frontline battlefield.
The Milky Way Galaxy produced the warships, Immortal Level teams took command, and they headed straight to the frontline battlefield through the star gate.
Qingcheng Fortress.
"We held!"
Atop the fortress wall, a Star Lord Level officer slumped down, panting heavily.
"Finally, a chance to breathe..."
Directly above the fortress, twenty thousand Titan-class warships produced by Star Sea were hovering.
In the Abyss, the endless swarm of insects was finally temporarily suppressed.
The Immortal-Level Expert, King of Qingcheng, stared into the Abyss and grabbed the adjutant beside him.
"Damn it, those sons of bitches insects have sent more reinforcements. Go, ask the Human Alliance for another ten thousand ships!"
The adjutant's face turned pale as he stammered, "My Lord, we're already considered lucky to have gotten twenty thousand Star Sea warships. Other fortresses would be thanking their lucky stars if they could scrape together ten thousand."
"I've already contacted them, and the Human Alliance liaison told us to get lost..."
