My All-Female Fleet Swept the Galaxy

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Has Her Majesty Considered Interstellar Missile Ships?

Queen Medusa looked at Zhao Chen with some surprise, confirming that this was indeed his intention.

After a moment of contemplation, Queen Medusa said, ”In that case, I’ll have my people calculate the value of these assets.

However, if the calculations become too complex and we try to convert everything into readily available resources, my Snake People Clan may not be able to afford it all.”

”I understand. Whatever is appropriate will do.” Zhao Chen also knew that, given his demands, a strict fifty-fifty split would be impossible.

After all, how could one calculate the future indirect value of those star systems?

For example, Zhao Chen’s abandoned Fire Lizard Race Starport would require over a month of work by Interstellar Industrial Ships to dismantle and salvage.

There were costs and time investments involved.

Since Zhao Chen was directly demanding ready resources, a fifty-fifty split was unfeasible.

After instructing her subordinates to compile the data, Queen Medusa smiled at Zhao Chen. ”I’ve heard about the battle in the Lion King Star System.

The T3 interstellar stealth bomber, the T3 Interstellar Battlecruiser, along with the T2 interstellar missile ship, the T2 Interstellar Battleship, the T2 Interstellar Frigate, and the T2 carrier starship.

Each of these starships far surpasses others of their class.

Especially the T3 interstellar stealth bomber’s covert assault, which directly destroyed four T3 interstellar warships!

And the overwhelming firepower strike capability of the T2 interstellar missile ship.

I almost regret not witnessing such a spectacular battle myself!”

Zhao Chen smiled without responding. Commander Qingman hadn’t witnessed the T3 interstellar stealth bomber’s operation, so Queen Medusa must have learned about it through some channel from the enemy fleet.

”To possess such terrifying starships is truly enviable,” Queen Medusa praised.

Zhao Chen smiled as he looked at Queen Medusa. ”Does Her Majesty like these starships?”

”Of course! Who wouldn’t like such starships!”

”If Her Majesty wants them, I can sell them to you.”

Sell them to her?

Queen Medusa’s heart trembled. She had praised these starships merely to build rapport with him.

She never expected him to drop such a ”bomb.”

She was stunned for several seconds.

The implications behind those words were truly staggering.

If he dared to offer to sell them, it meant he either had a sales channel for these starships or was the manufacturer producing them.

Either way, it spoke volumes about his capabilities!

”Commander, are you serious?” Queen Medusa was intrigued. Just thinking about the combat data of those starships, how could she not be tempted?

”Of course. Since we’ve had our first collaboration, we can certainly have a second,” Zhao Chen said with a smile, spreading his arms. ”However, the prices for my starships might be... slightly high...”

”Could you give me an idea first?” Queen Medusa inquired.

If it were truly possible to purchase them, she wouldn’t mind buying a few.

The power of those starships was genuinely formidable and utterly tempting.

Zhao Chen quickly compiled a starship report.

It contained brief introductions of each starship model—only non-essential information that wouldn’t reveal critical combat data.

Apart from that, there were the listed prices.

T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser, priced at 520 million Star Coins!

Charlotte, standing beside Zhao Chen at this moment, couldn’t help but swallow hard at seeing this figure.

She was aware of the approximate construction cost of the T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser, which was around 13 million Star Coins.

Yet the price the commander had just quoted was a staggering forty times higher!

Although this was considered normal in the starship market, seeing such an astronomical price still made Charlotte feel fortunate—thankfully, this interstellar warship was self-developed and self-built by the commander.

She had almost forgotten that she was commanding a starship worth over 500 million Star Coins...

Queen Medusa frowned slightly at the sight of this T3 interstellar warship priced at 520 million Star Coins.

She was well aware that the average selling price of most T3 interstellar warships on the market, even for new vessels, was around 250 million Star Coins.

A price tag as high as 500 million Star Coins was truly daunting.

Then there were the maintenance costs.

It was important to note that interstellar warships required upkeep. The higher the price of the warship, the more terrifying its maintenance costs, and combat consumption was equally staggering.

For an interstellar warship that did not engage in combat and suffered no battle damage, the resource costs for routine maintenance and a hundred years of operation were equivalent to the purchase price of the warship itself.

In other words, owning an interstellar warship for a hundred years was like buying another identical warship.

Calculated this way, the annual maintenance cost for a T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser would amount to 5 million Star Coins!

If one possessed the relevant technology, these maintenance costs could be significantly reduced.

Queen Medusa greatly desired such a T3 interstellar warship, but after careful consideration, she decided to give up on the idea for now.

She turned her attention to the other interstellar warships.

T2 Lion King-class Heavy Interstellar Missile Ship price: 30 million Star Coins

The interstellar missiles it carried were priced at 12,000 Star Coins each (full load: 500 interstellar missiles).

Queen Medusa recalled Commander Qingman’s description of the scene where interstellar missiles carpeted the battlefield. That wasn’t just missile bombardment—it was practically Star Coins raining down on the enemy.

For a single T2 interstellar missile ship, firing all its interstellar missiles was equivalent to consuming 6 million Star Coins!

Queen Medusa’s lips twitched slightly as she felt a pang of distress.

T2 Snow Mastiff-class Heavy Interstellar Battleship price: 26 million Star Coins

T2 Queen Bee-class Heavy Carrier Starship: 30 million Star Coins

T2 Black Rhino-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigate: 5 million Star Coins

Apart from the T2 Black Rhino, which Zhao Chen had marked up fiftyfold, the other T2 starships were priced at twenty times their cost.

Why was the T2 Black Rhino marked up fiftyfold?

It was worth noting that the price of a T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer was only 3 million Star Coins.

That was an interstellar destroyer, yet this interstellar frigate was even more expensive than an interstellar destroyer?

Heh.

Have you ever seen an interstellar frigate that could single-handedly take on an interstellar battlecruiser?

Anyone who had witnessed the T2 Black Rhino-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigate wreaking havoc on the battlefield, while acknowledging the steep price, would not consider it unreasonable.

”Your starships are indeed quite expensive,” Queen Medusa remarked with a slightly astonished expression.

The price of just one of these ships was equivalent to three to five times what she would pay for an interstellar warship of the same class.

”If Your Majesty sees any you like, buying twenty or thirty ships would qualify for a discount,” Zhao Chen said with a smile, enthusiastically introducing the T2 Lion King-class Heavy Interstellar Missile Ship to Queen Medusa.

As long as Queen Medusa purchased this type of interstellar missile ship, whenever she ran out of ”bullets” in the future, she would have to buy them from Zhao Chen.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the interstellar missile ship was, it would be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

The profit from this arrangement was even comparable to selling a T3 interstellar warship!
