Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Chapter 162: Shopping and Talk Before Leaving



Zehal understood very well that technology that the Illithids deemed as interesting and highly vital must be something that was certainly special from all angles and must be obtained at any cost.

The Voidfuse Company could benefit the most from the technology scavenges on the planet Aquamarine.

Right now, the Voidfuse Company has obtained the contract with the Starlight Drive Yard Industries, which would allow the Voidfuse Company to supply the Starlight Drive Yard Industries with the Red Queen Series of Dark Matter Energy Generators to the Starlight Drive Yard Industries.

These Red Queen Series of Dark Matter Energy Generators would be used by Starlight Drive Yard Industries in their civilian starships, and through this contract, the Voidfuse Company would gain some marketing and an increase in its reputation.

Which was a very good thing.

Starlight Drive Yard Industries had already paid the first forward payment for the Red Queen Series of Dark Matter Energy Generators, which the Voidfuse Company would supply in a few months.

With more money, Arcturus now found his bank account not so empty, and he was fortunate; he could buy at least some more supplies for the journey to the parent, Aquamarine. A lot of money that he received from the income of the Voidfuse Company fell on the materials that would be used by Red Queen to manufacture more Battle Droids.

The Battle Droids were of the utmost importance right now, as they would need a lot of manpower to pacify the entire planet.

"Red Queen is working very hard on the manufacturing of the Battle Droids. Right now, we have something more than 1,000 ABD-Spectre MK II. Battle Droids and she is also working on cracking down the cyberdefenses around the Spider Bastion Battle Droids so we can conduct an in-depth scan on the droids and start manufacturing them too in the Auto-Forge."

Arcuturs was currently speaking with Zehal about their incoming journey as they were in the Trade District of the Celestara, the capital of the Imperium on the Throne World, Phoenix Prime.

"We need more... our first priority should be to find some quiet place from which we can observe the planet at least for some short span of time, and also to mine some resources."

Zehal said as Arcturus wholeheartedly agreed with the proposal, as they would need to observe the planet Aquamarine and gather intelligence on the planet. It seemed that the entire world was still using technology even during the so-called Apocalypse, which meant that it could be hacked.

And if it could be hacked, then Red Queen would be able to achieve that in mere moments.

"The Auto-Forge that Red Queen constructed on the deck of the Obscurus, while big, certainly that is true, but it's nowhere near close to spawning out those thousands of Droids of various Classes and purposes in a short span of time. We would need to construct a proper factory when we land on the planet. Preferably near the source of the minerals and ores, so we need to search for a planet that fulfills all of those criteria."

Arcturus said, as this was their primary concern for the time being, and something that would need to be addressed straight away. Unfortunately, the sole thing that he had obtained from the hands of the Illithids was the coordinates of the planet and nothing much aside from the general information.

There wasn't even a geographical scan of the planet, which was certainly troubling because they would need to do one and adjust their plan according to the scan that they found.

"And we also need to place it not far from civilization. While the proximity must be low, it couldn't be really in the middle of nowhere. At least several hundred kilometers from the closest civilization center."

Zehal countered-offered, because there were many things to consider.

"Also, where is that white-haired bimbo?"

Zehal's eyebrows twitched as she asked about Jeniael, because the white-haired scion of the House Luxford was still training in her quarters as she managed to reach the Gamma-Grade Warrior, but she was still far from the Beta-Grade.

At the same time though, according to the information that he had received from Jeniael herself, was that, even at the Gamma-Grade she was comparable to the Beta-Grade Warrior as Arctrurus.

It seemed that "old-fashioned body refining" had advantages that were not that small and maybe worth the effort and resources. However, after seeing Jeniael train in person and cultivate Body Refining, he understood why not many people were following this ancient method in the modern age.

The requirements on the person were just too harsh, and the resources one needed to consume were no less than a Psyker with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability.

Which was even more surprising as Jeniael had both the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability as well as walking the Path of the Ancient Body Refining Warriors, so the amount of resources that she needed to consume was staggering.

Though the results were also very clear at this one.

It often allowed her to fight far above her own grade, compete, and defeat freaks of nature like he himself. This was rather admirable, but one needed to have willpower made from titanium to succeed in the path that she had chosen.

Certainly, it wasn't for everyone.

"We should go collect her and depart for the planet Aquamarine."

Zehal stated as Arcturus nodded before he remembered another thing that he wanted to talk with Zehal.

"Could you procure some more materials for the Droids? Some of the rare ones are procured, and with your input, it would be much easier. Not to mention, Red Queen could use the time to build more Droids."

Arcturus had already invested a few hundred thousand Universal Credits into the materials that were being used by the Red Queen to build Battle Droids, Mining Droids, and Worker Droids of various types.

As it was needed.

"Good idea... I will send a message to someone to bring what is needed. If we could produce at least an additional thousand or one and a half thousand Battle Droids by the time we reach the planet Aquamarine, we would be able to occupy some larger spot right away."

Zehal stated as she immediately sent a message to the Red Queen, and they both conversed about how many materials were needed for how many Droids and how many Droids could be assembled in the Auto-Forge during the journey to their targeted planet.

And in the end, she ordered far more materials than were really needed, but at the same time, Arcturus noticed that many of them would be required for the construction of the Spider Bastion Battle Droids that they were planning to start building.

While the ABD-Spectre MK II. Battle Droids were good droids, especially right now, after they were upgraded by the collective efforts of Red Queen and Zehal, they were not up to the Spider Bastion Battle Droids.

Spider Bastion Battle Droids were like walking tanks, that were extremely durable, with very high firepower, destructive capabilities, could be used for auxiliary purposes, and they were very fast and highly agile.

They were not the best Battle Droids on the Imperial marker right now for nothing in the end.
