This man had come to declare his 'sovereignty'!
Neither of the two kings were fools; they immediately sensed the intentions of the man before them.
"Great King. You are the ruler of the Lion King Star System, and your will is the will of the entire star system!" The Fat King quickly flattered.
The Skinny King refused to be outdone: "It's just a name. The Great King only needs to inform us.
In fact, if you wish, my entire kingdom is yours!"
Watching the performance of these two 'clowns' before him, Zhao Chen truly experienced what it felt like to be in a position of power.
"I have no other intentions. You may continue with your lives as before.
If I have any orders, I will send someone to notify you.
I do not like others defying my will. You should understand what the consequences of that would be." Zhao Chen's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.
The Skinny King and Fat King quickly realized he was alluding to the previously destroyed Fire Lizard Fleet.
The masked man's implication was clear: I could easily destroy half of that Fire Lizard Fleet's starships, and I could just as easily crush you.
After the formalities, Zhao Chen did not waste any more time there. The T3 Blizzard slowly departed from the planet's atmosphere.
The other T2 Black Rhino-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigates also returned to formation and set course for the second planet.
This time, before Zhao Chen's fleet even reached the second planet, they received flattering and praising messages from its leaders.
They even mentioned preparing a generous gift for Zhao Chen.
Faced with such compliance, Zhao Chen saw no need to waste starship fuel on a 'show of force.'
This was why Zhao Chen had remained inactive for nearly half a month, waiting until after the battle concluded before beginning his 'tour' of his star system.
Only genuine strength could make the powers on these planets submit completely.
Loyalty wasn't the important part; what mattered was their submission to your power.
Over the next half-day, Zhao Chen's 'Lion King Fleet' traveled between various planets and celestial bodies with large populations.
Many of the powers on these planets wisely sent messages of praise, flattery, and submission well in advance.
Moreover, they no longer referred to the TY Star System but to the Lion King Star System.
It seemed they had been closely following the events on the first planet.
[Task Two: Control and occupy the entire FY Star System
Mission Difficulty: B
Task Reward: 20 Task Points and 7000 points
Task Completed. Please claim your reward.]
After his tour, Zhao Chen smoothly completed this task.
He clicked to claim the reward.
[System Points: 16420]
[Task Points: 85]
His System Points and Task Points increased once again.
With that, the Fierce Dragon Fleet began its return journey to the third planet inhabited by the Dwarves.
"Commander." Secretary Aili suddenly spoke up beside him.
Zhao Chen snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Secretary Aili. "What is it?"
Secretary Aili said, "Although we repelled this attack by the Fire Salamander Tribe, as a stellar power surviving in the Reef Starfield, they will definitely not let this go."
Given our current strength and fleet situation, it would be very difficult to resolve the Fire Salamander Tribe matter without incurring significant losses.
Furthermore, although we now control the Lion King Star System, it is simply too far from the Fierce Dragon Star System, requiring over half a month for a one-way trip.
If our Fierce Dragon Fleet is stationed here, we would need to establish a logistics supply route from the Fierce Dragon Star System to the Lion King Star System, which would be extremely costly.
If we do not station forces, the Fire Salamander Tribe's potential retaliatory attacks at any time would pose a significant threat to our Lion King Star System."
Hearing Secretary Aili's words, Zhao Chen nodded in agreement.
"I am aware of these issues, and I have already thought of how to handle this matter," Zhao Chen said with a smile, looking at Secretary Aili.
Back when he first chose to control the Lion King Star System (formerly the FY Star System), Zhao Chen had already considered this problem.
He had thought of many methods, but ultimately chose the simplest and most direct one.
That was to shorten the 'distance' between the Fierce Dragon Star System and the Lion King Star System.
Currently, due to the distance, a one-way trip between the two star systems takes nearly half a month.
But what if the travel time between the Fierce Dragon Star System and the Lion King Star System could be reduced to the blink of an eye?
As if they were neighbors.
The only technology capable of achieving this is Star Gate Technology!
Zhao Chen browsed the system's T3 marketplace.
Sure enough, he found the technology he wanted.
[T3 Glorious Moon-class Stargate]
This stargate technology perfectly meets Zhao Chen's current requirements.
First: It does not require a binary star system environment.
Since the Fierce Dragon Star System has only one star, and all stargate technologies so far have required two stars, Zhao Chen's technology directly breaks this barrier. It can be constructed within the Fierce Dragon Star System with almost no environmental requirements.
Second: Large operational range!
Ordinary stargates have a limited operational range. For example, when Zhao Chen traveled from within the Stellar Glory Empire to the Reef Starfield, he needed to use dozens of stargates to reach his destination.
This is similar to transferring between vehicles; over two-thirds of that half-month journey was spent on this process.
He needed an ultra-long-range stargate, preferably one that could connect directly from the Fierce Dragon Star System to the Lion King Star System!
The T3 Glorious Moon-class Stargate can achieve this. Its maximum range can even span from one end of the Stellar Glory Empire to the other.
Third: Short construction time
Currently, stargates within the Stellar Glory Empire are divided into several types.
T2 Level, T3 Level, and T4 Level.
These represent stargates of different technology levels. Naturally, the higher the level, the better the performance.
For example, the primary star systems of several star sectors use T4-level stargates. The total number of T4 stargates in the entire Stellar Glory Empire does not exceed ten.
Smaller star systems use T3 stargates, while some remote star systems still rely on outdated T2 stargates.
Most stargates in the Reef Starfield are T2-level.
However, even these T2-level stargates require three to six months to construct.
T3 stargates take one to three years, and T4 stargates can take over a decade!
Zhao Chen cannot wait that long.
According to Zhao Chen's understanding, this T3 Glorious Moon-class Stargate, assuming it is constructed using T2 Hammer-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ships, can allow up to ten T2 Hammer-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ships to work on its construction simultaneously.
It can be completed in just two months!
This perfectly meets Zhao Chen's requirements!
No binary star system needed, long travel range, short construction time.
These three advantages alone convinced Zhao Chen to choose this T3 Glorious Moon-class Stargate.
