Chapter 1829: Chapter 574: Test Results from Both Sides (6k)_2

"Indeed." The General Assembly President restrained his smile and nodded.

This is a simple truth. Standing from the Church’s perspective, they wouldn’t easily give up.

Even if defeat is inevitable, considering all the resources and manpower invested, abandoning it outright would be a real loss.

Instead of letting it fail completely, it would be better to extract the last remaining value.

After all, even when money is thrown into the water, you should at least hear a splash.

Although aware that as the leaders of the Three Great Civilizations, they can certainly recognize this, Bai Yi still felt compelled to remind them:

"Calculating this way, the Insect Swarm might become more active soon, causing more disturbances in the Starry Sky, and maximizing the last of their value.

They might even act more recklessly, knowing that the Insect Swarm is being restrained, disregarding our fleet, with increased intensity and frequency of attacks."

He carefully turned his upcoming plan into a hypothesis, which perfectly aligned with the thinking of the three leaders.

"Indeed, even if they don’t target our fleet directly, they will undoubtedly use the Insect Swarm to disrupt the Starry Sky.

However, this presents an opportunity that we can exploit. With some guidance, we can direct the strength of the Insect Swarm toward targets we desire!

But to accomplish this, we must have equivalent strength..."

The Emperor smiled, exchanging a look with the other two toward Fan Mao.

"Fan Mao, this task falls to you.

These weapons currently seem promising; we wish to prioritize mass-producing certain ones for our personnel to use as temporary equipment.

Do you have any recommendations for mass-produced weapons?"

"In that case, these might be suitable."

After a moment of feigned thinking, Bai Yi casually picked up the communicator and selected a batch from the list of weapons under testing.

In minor matters like these, Bai Yi wouldn’t bother with tricks. The weapons, destined for mass production by the Three Great Civilizations eventually, were clearly the most reasonable choices.

Through the Quantum Network, the three saw Bai Yi’s selections and nodded in approval.

"Ship cannon, spell, mid-to-close range ship cannon, and firearms...

Excellent, let’s go with this batch!

The mass production plan will be handed over to you, Fan Mao. Any resources and manpower needed will be swiftly arranged."

The Emperor smiled and deliberately winked at Bai Yi, entrusting a fleet-level weapons order to an individual, even for the conventional fleets of the Three Great Civilizations.

The profits from this, even in a straightforward business with no mixed intentions, represent a substantial order.

Bai Yi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow after mentally calculating briefly.

She recognized this as the Emperor purposely using benefits to draw her in, but she had to admit she was indeed tempted.

Fleet weapons require more than just one batch of installations.

Unlike her own warships, which can self-repair through metalization, those in the Starry Sky lack such capabilities.

To ensure combat effectiveness, whenever the warships of the Three Great Civilizations suffer damage or malfunction, or any individual weapon is destroyed, rather than repairing them, they prefer replacing them entirely.

Damaged parts are handed to a Mage or Mechanical Master for repairs later while awaiting orders, rather than repairing them directly in the field.

To prevent awkward situations of weapon shortages, it’s common practice to order at least three times the amount.

This order, considering the current number of conventional fleets in the Starry Sky and her weapon production consumption, is nearly equivalent to a complete fleet!

Moreover, if she tweaks the materials slightly or weakens them, she could even collect materials equivalent to two fleets.

She would need to negotiate with the Saien Civilization for over a month to gather such materials!

Even she felt somewhat tempted.

At most, it might just be taking the money without increasing favorability!

All the thoughts and calculations lasted just a few seconds.

With a slightly excited smile, Bai Yi nodded in agreement.

"No problem, I’ll quickly take charge of researching the production line!"

"We await your results."

As the matter was finalized, Bai Yi turned her gaze back to the virtual screen, where the fleet warfare was nearing an end.

With the Insect Swarm retreating entirely from the planet and various corners, the fleet commenced its final salvo chase.

The ship cannons grazed the Insect Swarm either taking off from the planet or speeding through space.

The genetic collapse weapons didn’t directly eradicate the Insect Clan but severely weakened their momentum, causing them to crash back down to the ground.

After another full salvo "left behind" numerous Insect Swarm, this battlefield concluded much faster than other Swarm attack zones.

As for the results of the contest, it was unexpectedly not the Radiant Federation, known for ship cannon bombardments, nor the Gemini Empire, which focuses on individual armaments, but rather the seemingly unremarkable Saien Republic.

Simultaneously handling individual equipment and fleet-level bombardments, coupled with superb energy allocation and the distinctive capital thinking of Saien, they strictly managed weapon costs.

Ultimately, their comprehensive score surpassed the other two, securing victory in the competition.

This outcome caught even Bai Yi, who constantly monitored scores off guard.

After all, the technology of the Saien Civilization seemed simply unremarkable.

Ending the communication, Bai Yi withdrew into her private room, now showing a slight hint of apprehension.

"Saien Republic, indeed even I somewhat overlooked them...
