Minister Li Yaqi raised her hand and activated a holographic projection.

The holographic projection displays a contract text, on which the emblems of several countries or civilizations have already been signed.

The most eye-catching of them all is the Wyvern emblem of the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.

In addition, there is the emblem of the Fairy Flower Federation tribe, and even the emblem of the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group is on it.

And the emblems of the Stone Kingdom, the Fire Emblem Interstellar Alliance, the emblems of the two major powers in the Cancer Interstellar Civilization—the Fang Federation and the Principality of Lohe—and the Mohadis Interstellar Empire.

In addition, there are the emblems of other small and medium-sized interstellar civilizations.

The number has exceeded ten.

"Fifteen interstellar powers have already signed agreements to establish this cosmic trade alliance and are willing to join us."

However, four of them signed confidentiality agreements.

The content simply demands that some powerful interstellar forces also join in.

Other negotiations are still ongoing, and this condition has also been mentioned.

Among these, the Holy Elf Empire accounts for the largest share, reaching 40%.

If we can persuade the Holy Elf Empire to sign this cosmic trade alliance, we can add at least twenty interstellar powers' emblems to it.

Another interstellar civilization force mentioned.

There are five more.

This includes the newly emerging near-T6 interstellar civilization, the Burns Interstellar Civilization.

The Majas interstellar empire is an old T5 interstellar civilization, but there are rumors that it has actually advanced to a T6 interstellar civilization. However, due to fear of the existence of the Order, its T6 technology has always been kept secret.

Quasi-T6 level interstellar civilization: Dalaran Interstellar United Civilization.

The Silver Moon Interstellar Alliance, touted as the oldest interstellar civilization, is also a long-established T5 interstellar civilization.

The Blazing Holy Hammer Interstellar Free Federation is also a T5 interstellar civilization, but it is said to be the most industrially powerful interstellar power in the known universe before us.

Apart from us, more than half of the commercially available interstellar warships in the known universe were created by the Free Federation of the Burning Hammer.

They possess the most historically significant and culturally rich industries.

In their universe, industry accounts for half of their economic activity.

These five interstellar powers hold a pivotal position among known cosmic civilizations.

There's even a saying that...

Before the rise of our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, there was "one king and five marquises," referring to these five interstellar civilizations.

Hua Ya Lanlan nodded in agreement, saying, "These five interstellar civilizations are very important."

In addition, there's the Holy Elf Empire.

As long as all six of them sign this agreement.

Then our interstellar trade network will basically be a success.

Zhao Chen looked at the information on these five interstellar civilizations.

He rubbed his chin and said, "So, my job now is to persuade these five interstellar powers?"

The group nodded almost simultaneously.

For an emperor to act as an envoy, most people would probably find it difficult to back down.

But to Zhao Chen, none of this mattered at all.

As long as the problems of the Dragon Star Empire can be solved, what's a little effort in personally going door-to-door to 'recruit customers'?

"But the order in which you persuade them is also important."

If we can secure some key deals first, things will be much easier to negotiate later.

Within this alliance, the Holy Elf Empire and the Blazing Holy Hammer Free Federation are two heavyweight contenders.

As long as we can reach an agreement on these two matters.

"That's basically half the battle won," said Huaya Lanlan.

Zhao Chen nodded, then looked directly at the group and asked, "Then let's not wait any longer."

When do we set off?

I first went to visit my old friend, the Holy Elf Empire, and gave him a very generous gift.

No matter what, she should at least give me some face.

Zhao Chen's words were not just a joke.

Of the two goals, the one with the greatest chance of success is undoubtedly the Holy Elf Empire.

After all, the two already had a strategic partnership.

Now, isn't it normal to add another trade cooperation relationship?

"The preparations here are almost complete, and we can set off at any time."

My sister Hanaya and I will accompany you.

We have experience in this area and have had contact with these people.

"There are some things that we can discuss and even reach an agreement on if we're here." Minister Li Yaqi stood up and looked at Zhao Chen, a hint of excitement even visible in her eyes.

I don't know if it's because we can discuss this cooperation plan, or because it's a rare opportunity to work with the JF-17 Emperor.

Hua Ya Lanlan also looked at Zhao Chen.

Hua Ya Nini was even more excited.

The ability to establish such a large and efficient interstellar trade network would undoubtedly expand the market for the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group and greatly increase its profit-making efficiency.

"Since everything is prepared."

Then I can't hold them back.

Since that's the case, there's no better time than now.

"Pack your things, we're leaving today." Zhao Chen stood up and said directly.

The speed of this event surprised even Minister Li Yaqi and others.

Lilith's secretary, on the other hand, seemed somewhat used to it.

She smiled helplessly and said, "It's possible to set off now."

However, it is also necessary to arrange the accompanying fleet.

After all, you are the Emperor of the Dragon King; you must make some preparations before you go out.

Moreover, at this point, we still need to visit multiple interstellar civilizations.

Zhao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then let's bring the Emperor's personal guard fleet."

Visiting other interstellar civilizations with three thousand interstellar warships wouldn't intimidate them.

The Imperial Guard fleet's starships are also of sufficient quality to be combat-ready.

In addition, you should keep the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet and the Blizzard Ace Fleet in the Dragon Star Empire ready to respond at any time, in case something unexpected happens on my end.

I'm contacting you directly; you can send your fleet to support me.

Zhao Chen thought all these things through in an instant.

He knew, of course, that Lilith and the others prioritized their own safety, and that Lilith wouldn't let him leave easily unless these matters were properly arranged.

Lilith, however, still didn't feel it was enough.

She added, "That's not enough."

Then have Zhong Xiaoxia lead the flagship of the Ghost Scout Elite Legion fleet, consisting of three thousand interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships, to follow you.

Also, Zhao Wan'er is following you with the flagship legion of the Shadow Hunter ace fleet, consisting of three thousand interstellar stealth bombers.

In addition, they will also bring an interstellar transport fleet of three thousand ships.

In this way, no matter what happens, Your Majesty will have the ability to deal with it.

The accessed object will not reveal anything.

Hearing Lilith's secretary's meticulous arrangements...

Zhao Chen was also helpless.

In this way, he was accompanied by nearly 10,000 interstellar warships on this trip, plus 3,000 interstellar warships responsible for logistics and supply.

Moreover, these are the trump cards among the trump cards of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Let alone visiting them, it would be more than enough to deal with any small interstellar force.

But since it was Lilith's idea and arrangement, Zhao Chen couldn't refuse.

Let's proceed according to Secretary Lilith's idea.

"I will go and relay the orders to arrange these matters."

It is expected to take three hours.

"Then you can set off in four hours." After giving these instructions, Lilith immediately began to take care of the arrangements.

Zhao Chen shrugged helplessly, then looked at Minister Li Yaqi and the sisters Hua Ya Lan and Hua Ya Nini opposite him.

"This time we're working together, so let's see what you're capable of."

As long as we can get this done and establish this cosmic trade network.

Then you are great contributors to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

I will give you the rewards you deserve.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hua Ya Lanlan and Hua Ya Nini bowed.

The two women are now extremely loyal to Emperor Xiaolong, since the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group owes its current status entirely to Emperor Xiaolong's support.

Without Emperor Xiaolong, the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group is nothing.

“It’s what I should do,” Li Yaqi said seriously, standing up straight.

However, those with a keen eye will notice that beneath Li Yaqi's eyes, there are actually some hidden thoughts.

But nobody cared about any of this.

They are now preparing to depart.

Although the three of them did not need to bring any fleet escort or anything like that on this trip.

However, it is still necessary to prepare a team of personnel.

After all, they'll still need to be involved in the negotiations!

Xiaolong Interstellar Empire - Yuhang Galaxy

Three years ago, the Yuhang Galaxy was just a barren galaxy because its stars had died thousands of years ago and become black dwarfs.

This has essentially rendered the galaxy unable to develop further.

Gradually, the original inhabitants of this galaxy moved away from it due to the deteriorating living conditions.

Only a very small number of groups still rely on some technology to struggle to survive in some settlements within this star system.

It wasn't until the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire took a liking to this star system and gave it a new name, because its original name had long been forgotten with the death of that star, that this system came to be known.

As for why the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire chose this star system...

That's because researchers have discovered that this galaxy, having lost its stellar energy, is actually the most suitable base for inter-space travel.

Although interplanetary travel is possible in most places, the difficulty and risk level vary.

It's like the difference between jumping from a ten-story building and jumping from a two-story building.

While the former doesn't necessarily mean certain death, it carries an extremely high risk.

If possible, everyone naturally hopes to land safely.

According to the current assessment by the relevant departments of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Within the Dragon Star Empire universe, star systems suitable for inter-space travel are classified into five levels: A, B, C, D, and Danger.

Danger naturally means that it is absolutely unsuitable for interplanetary travel.

Category D represents the worst option; although feasible, it carries the highest risk.

These five levels are further subdivided into three smaller levels.

It is divided into three levels: level three, level two, and level one.

It is also commonly referred to as safe, dangerous, or extremely dangerous.

A Class D area is an extremely dangerous space.

The top three areas are naturally the safest spaces.

Within the entire Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, only six star systems meet the requirements for the top three.

This place, named the Yuhang Galaxy, is also one of these six top-three galaxies.

However, it is the only one that can be called a super-top-three galaxy.

Because it is like a uniquely advantageous port on the coastline. It has no winter, no storms, no natural disasters, and even the water depth is sufficient for any ship to enter.

And it's big enough!

Three years ago, when the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire began developing this place, it was only temporarily designated as a hub for interstellar transportation. However, due to its unique advantages, many plans and programs were already in the secretariat department.

Construction work here has never stopped.

Here stands Yuhang City, the sixth T6 God Palace-level interstellar complex of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

The purpose of establishing this 'Yuhang City' here is actually quite simple: to serve as a distribution center for future intergalactic trade.

At this moment, a fleet has arrived here.

This fleet looks like a typical transport fleet, with only about six thousand interstellar warships.

However, no one knew that at this moment, some high-ranking officials in certain departments within this galaxy had already quietly received orders.

Low-frequency regulation has begun in all aspects.

Low-frequency control is the control of airspace with minimal impact. It is generally used when important figures are passing through but the authorities do not want to expose them.

Among this fleet of interstellar transport ships, there is one very large and special interstellar transport ship.

On the bridge.

Zhao Chen looked at the city of Yuhang in the distance.

"Is Yuhang City fully completed?" Zhao Chen asked Minister Li Yaqi beside him.

This time, he was accompanied by Minister Li Yaqi and others, while Secretary Lilith was required to stay in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire to handle various matters.

However, if it were any other interstellar complex of god-like palaces, Minister Li Yaqi would not be aware of the situation.

But she was aware of the situation in Yuhang City.

Because she is one of the supervisors in charge of this city of Yuhang.

The main purpose of this city, Yuhang, is to become the intergalactic trade and transportation center established by the future Xiaolong Interstellar Empire!

After all, these intergalactic trade matters cannot all be discussed in the Xiaolong star system. Chang'an City is more of a political center of the Xiaolong interstellar empire.

Yuhang City may become an economic center in the future.

Therefore, the Imperial Ministry of Commerce has a second headquarters in Yuhang City, where Minister Li Yaqi also has her office.

Minister Li Yaqi supervised the entire process of Yuhang City's internal structure and overall arrangement.

Since this city was built for interstellar trade, it naturally needs to have a strong interstellar trade atmosphere.

Therefore, the appearance of this Yuhang city has a strong commercial feel from a distance.

Minister Li Yaqi explained from the side, "Yuhang City itself has been fully completed, and all the official departments inside have moved in. In addition, companies such as Beiyan Group, Rose Red Dragon Group, and Bailan Interstellar Trade Group have also set up offices here."

In the future, more leading interstellar trading companies will take root here.

Some interstellar trade orders don't even require the buyer and seller to travel to each other's universes; they can all be signed here, in this city of Yuhang.

In addition, some peripheral areas are still under construction.

It mainly consists of a few scattered habitable satellites.

The construction of the Yuhang Galaxy is aimed at better realizing its economic value.

We have carried out habitability transformation programs on all the planets around us.

Considering why this place has become the core of interstellar trade, the land prices here would naturally be very high.

Many traders will settle down here.

Some people even come here for vacation.

Yuhang City is very luxurious, but it cannot meet the daily needs of so many people.

And some people want a special and luxurious living environment.

As merchants, we can naturally provide them with this service, as long as they pay enough crystal coins.

According to our calculations.

The future value generated by the Yuhang Galaxy alone could surpass that of all the star systems in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, making it the most valuable star system in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire within ten years!

Hearing Minister Li Yaqi's evaluation...

A blueprint seemed to have already appeared in Zhao Chen's mind.

Transform this desolate little star system into the financial and trade capital of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

To outsiders, starting from scratch might seem like a huge investment.

However, for this construction maniac of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, this is actually the most suitable option.

The sparse indigenous population means that the star system is entirely at the mercy of the Dragon Empire to reshape and develop it as it sees fit.

In comparison, the development and construction of the Xiaolong Galaxy actually faced many obstacles in its later stages.

Therefore, many aspects of future development and construction will focus on expanding outwards.

In the future, the Dragon Galaxy will primarily serve as a political center.

The Yuhang Galaxy will become a jewel in the crown of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Zhao Chen shifted his gaze from the city of Yuhang to a dazzling star gate in the distance.

"That is the largest permanent inter-universe stargate we can build at present."

In addition, we have built nearly ten stargates of different levels within this galaxy.

According to our scientists' assessment, there is even hope that more than thirty stargates can be built here.

"These numerous stargates are solely for meeting the future needs of intergalactic trade and navigation," Minister Li Yaqi stated confidently.

In the future, more than thirty stargates connecting various cosmic civilizations will stand here.

Zhao Chen closed his eyes, imagining future scenarios.

The Yuhang Galaxy will no longer be as dim as it is now; it will become one of the most dazzling jewels of the entire Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

The thirty-odd stargates here will light it up, the habitable planets here will light it up, and the starship engines of the fleets of interstellar transport ships that come and go will light it up.

By then, this place will no longer be dark; it will be a dazzling pearl!

At the same time, this also means that countless riches will gather here.

This place is a treasure trove.

"We also conducted simulations and calculations with Minister Li Yaqi."

The throughput of the Yuhang star system is sufficient to accommodate ten million T5-class interstellar transport ships simultaneously.

Here you'll find not only stargates, but also outer anchorages, industrial docks serving those interstellar transport ships, and so on.

Those stargates can accommodate up to 100 million interstellar warships per day.

"This will surpass any 'port star system' of any interstellar civilization," Hua Ya Lanlan said excitedly.

Port Galaxy.

This is a nickname for this type of galaxy, and it is indeed very fitting.

This follows the practice from the previous planetary era, where large ports were needed for exploring new continents and conducting trade on the ground.

Isn't this kind of galaxy just a port galaxy?

"very good.

"You did a very good job." Zhao Chen nodded approvingly.

Next, this fleet, disguised as an interstellar transport ship fleet, began to cross the stargate and leave the Xiaolong system after completing the application, heading to other universes.

"To date, we have established stargate agreements with thirteen universes."

In the future, after establishing a space trade network, we can establish such contracts with more interstellar universes.

"Then there will be no need for an application process, and the construction of interstellar transportation can be completed more efficiently," Minister Li Yaqi said from the side.

"yes!

Eliminating this application and approval process can save a lot of time.

Previously, when we delivered goods to unfamiliar interstellar universes, if the other party did not make prior arrangements with the stargate, we had to complete the entire process ourselves.

"If it's fast, it will take at least three days; if it's slow, it might take a week to two weeks," Hua Ya Nini complained from the side.

Apart from having entered into mutual trust agreements, most universes are connected by stargates.

However, the other side will strictly vet the incoming interstellar fleets, and without their permission, they may not even be able to pass through the stargate.

This involves the application and approval process.

This is a very time-consuming method, but it has been passed down to this day.

After a fleet of interstellar transport ships arrives at Star Gate A, they submit a request to Star Gate A, including which interstellar trader they are, what goods they are transporting, how many interstellar transport ships they have, and where the goods are destined for, etc.

All of these need to be reported.

Then, Stargate A will arrange a starship to go to Stargate B, inform them of the submitted information, and after Stargate B reviews and approves it, obtain the corresponding code permission before returning.

Then, the corresponding interstellar transport fleet, when passing through the stargate, can successfully arrive at Stargate B by using the corresponding code.

This process ensures that both interstellar civilizations control the stargate, but it also greatly reduces the convenience of interstellar travel.

The interstellar trade alliance established by the Dragon Empire aims to eliminate this method and adopt a more efficient and convenient approach to make interstellar transportation faster and easier.
