"Have you accepted the imperial escort mission?" Charlotte's image appeared in the video window, asking what the commander just mentioned.
Zhao Chen nodded: "In order for me to graduate from the Northern Star Warship Academy as soon as possible, I need to do some difficult tasks.
But with our current starship strength, it shouldn’t be too difficult to complete this kind of escort mission.”
"Then I'll go with you." Charlotte asked.
But he was rejected by Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen said: "You are still responsible for staying at our temporary station. Now the two T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships here are working at full capacity to produce starships, and one of them is a T3-class starship.
Compared to my escort mission, this place is more important.
I need someone capable to stay here."
Because Charlotte is the deputy commander of the fleet, she knows the production plan formulated by Commander Zhao Chen for the T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ship.
It is also known that a T3 starship of unknown model is in production.
Although she didn't know why the commander mastered a T3 starship technology, she was still willing to trust this man after spending six months together.
"Commander, please rest assured, I will stick to this place until you come back!" Charlotte promised.
Zhao Chen nodded: "This time I travel, I may not be able to get back until early March at the latest.
Although they are all in the northern star sector of the Star Empire and not on a frontal battlefield, communication interruptions are inevitable.
At that time, I give you the final say if anything happens here.
I have left you several emergency preparation plans for your reference."
"Yes." Charlotte responded.
After explaining all this, Zhao Chen left Blizzard Zero to Charlotte, then boarded the T2 Queen Bee class heavy aircraft carrier starship and led five T2 Black Rhino class interstellar heavy assault frigates to sail away.
Secretary Lilith is following Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen now needs Lilith to seize every opportunity for practical experience and grow up as soon as possible.
"The route has been determined. We will first go to the Star Gate of the North Star System, and then pass through the Star Gate to the Chuhe Star Region, which is also in the Northern Star Region of the Star Glory Empire.
Because of the long distance, three star gate crossings were required to finally arrive at the Northern Star Empire Fleet No. 3 military base located on the northern border of the Chu River Star Territory.
This flight will take twenty-six hours and will arrive at the destination on January 18.
The assembly time required by the mission is January 20th, so there is plenty of time." Secretary Lilith arranged the entire navigation route in detail and then reported it to fleet commander Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction: "No problem, we will proceed according to your plan. I will leave the command along the way to you. Let me know when you get there."
"Yes." Secretary Lilith knew clearly that the commander was training her, and she seized every opportunity.
Because she knows that if she can have a higher status in the Xiaolong Fleet, it will be of great benefit to her succubus tribe in the future.
"The warp engine route has been pre-prepared. It will then enter the acceleration phase and will enter the warp navigation phase in ten minutes.
Within ten minutes, all crew members entered deep sea mode!
Repeat it, all crew members will enter deep sea mode within ten minutes!" Secretary Lilith's order was conveyed to the bridges of the six starships in the entire fleet.
"The bridge of the Black Rhinoceros No. 1 ship understands."
"The bridge of the second Black Rhino class ship understands."
"Black rhinoceros..."
The six starships entered warp sailing state one after another and headed towards the star gate.

Northern Star Region, Chuhe Star Region, Military Base No. 3
After a day's sailing, Zhao Chen's fleet finally arrived at this military base located behind the frontline battlefield.
It is said to be a military base, but it is actually more appropriate to describe it as a 'military galaxy'.
Because this is a completely militarized galaxy, it has no name and no lords.
There is only one codename 'Military Base No. 3', which some people also call the Northern Galaxy No. 3.
"Your fleet has entered the control range of the 'Galaxy No. 3'. Please report your fleet information and the purpose of your mission here immediately." A mechanical female voice sounded in the communication channel of Zhao Chen's T2 Queen Bee-class heavy aircraft carrier starship.
All fleet starships arriving in Galaxy 3 must undergo double certification.
One is the departure point stargate. After the departure point stargate learns the military base you are going to, it will first confirm your fleet information and the purpose of going to the Northern Galaxy III.
After arriving at the star gate of the third galaxy, the navigation control department here will re-confirm this information.
It's enough to see the rigor here.
"The information has been confirmed. The visiting fleet is a mercenary fleet carrying out bounty missions. It comes from the Northern Star Starship Military Academy. The fleet size is six T2 starships.
The route has been marked, please follow the designated route.
Please note that if you deviate from the designated route and fail to give three warnings, you will be responsible for the consequences!" The mechanical female voice sounded again.
At the same time, a route information was also sent to Zhao Chen's starship.
Secretary Lilith checked it over and confirmed that it was correct, then asked Zhao Chen about the next arrangements.
"Let's go." Zhao Chen said.
After speaking, Zhao Chen sat on the captain's chair, controlled the surrounding images, and began to appreciate the 'beautiful scenery' of this military base.
Everywhere you look, you can see various starships.
Star battleship, star frigate, star cruiser...
Suddenly, Zhao Chen saw a huge starship!
This is an interstellar battleship with a length of more than 1 kilometer!
The whole body is painted in crimson red, and the huge main gun muzzle is nearly twice the size of Zhao Chen's modified Zero Snowstorm!
The secondary artillery pieces stood like war spears in unison.
Zhao Chen's T2 Queen Bee class heavy aircraft carrier starship is like a child in front of it, let alone the T2 Black Rhino class interstellar heavy assault frigate, that is the difference between a watermelon and a sesame.
This is a real star battleship!
This is why in the perception of the Galactic Alliance, T3 starships are the real combat starships, while most T2 starships can only be regarded as semi-military starships.
The Star Shield technology alone is enough for a T3 starship to beat up a group of T2 starships without even peeling off the paint.
"T3 Flame Lion-class medium-sized interstellar battlecruiser, the standard T3-class starship of the Imperial Army. It is exclusively used by the Imperial Army of the Star Glory Empire. Only a small number of nobles and royal families own this starship privately.
And there are rumors that the price of a single ship is as high as 700 million star coins!
The main weapon is a 2200mm caliber medium electromagnetic cannon.
It is one of the main battle starships among the T3 series starships of the Imperial Army." Zhao Chen read out the information about this starship in the academy textbook.
But Zhao Chen doesn't like this starship very much, because he owns a more powerful interstellar battlecruiser than this one.
Zhao Chen's eyes did not linger on the T3 star battleship, but continued to search, just like a romantic wanderer looking for tonight's target in a nightclub.
Finally, Zhao Chen saw his 'target', and at that moment he was like an innocent boy who fell in love at first sight.
The proud figure, the graceful curves like ocean waves, the size of the golden ratio, and the two enviable weapons!
The super starship of the Imperial Fleet, T4 level star battleship!
