Ding · the T5 Mall is unlocked

Having with much difficulty snatched a little leisure, Zhao Chen opened his own System interface.

In the column of the latest reminder notices, the news that the T5-grade mall was unlocked was the most conspicuous of all.

Zhao Chen had originally supposed this task would be completed rather later.

But he had never thought that, through Leona's blundering into the thing by mistake, and the arrival of the second batch of three Demon Race fleets.

The close of this one campaign would have Zhao Chen complete the task outright.

"Strange — this task has actually not disappeared?"

Zhao Chen looked at that task frame in some surprise; within the frame those task options stood there still.

As of now, only the two of highest difficulty remained uncompleted: destroy 300,000 demon interstellar warships, and destroy 30,000 T4-grade Demon Race interstellar warships.

Did this signify that this task might have a hidden reward besides?

For otherwise, he had already reached 100%, and by rights the task ought to have ended there.

Though these two task requirements were set very high.

And there was a time limit besides; it was hard to guarantee their completion.

Never mind. He would take one step and then look about him.

The T5 Mall, which was the point of it, had opened at any rate; as for the rest, to gain it was his good fortune, to lose it his lot.

Zhao Chen at once opened the catalogue of the T5-grade mall, and within it there was a great quantity of starship technology.

Mass-production-model T5-grade interstellar warship technology.

Though Zhao Chen discovered as well that these mass-production T5-grade interstellar warships, in the matter of combat power, were not in the same class as the Hades-class Interstellar Dreadnought at all.

By the look of it, then, the T5 Hades-class Interstellar Dreadnought belonged to a special order of being, and stood in a class of its own even among T5-grade interstellar warships.

Small wonder that the requirements for building it were so exacting.

Beyond which, the redemption conditions for these T5-grade starship technologies were high indeed.

In the main, a single starship technical blueprint began at 10 million System points.

He had supposed before that with so many System points as he had laid by, he could go on a great buying spree.

But by the look of it now, it was only enough to redeem one or two starship technical blueprints.

Which set Zhao Chen to thinking.

He did not choose the mightiest interstellar warships in one rush — the carrier starships, interstellar battleships, interstellar missile ships and such.

These interstellar warships were indeed very strong, exceeding regular interstellar warships by a great deal.

But that signified at the same time that the conditions for building these interstellar warships were very high as well: advanced production lines were needed, great quantities of raw materials, great quantities of time, and so on.

And at present, so far as Zhao Chen went, these were the very things he lacked.

Before possessing T5-grade industrial production technology, to use T4 Gemini-class Heavy Interstellar Industrial Ships to produce these high-end T5-grade interstellar warships would be of the lowest value for the price.

After much torn deliberation at the last.

Zhao Chen lightly touched two options.

Spend 13,000,000 System points and 500 task points to redeem the commodity "T5 Chaos-Knight-class Heavy Assault Interstellar Destroyer" technical blueprint?

Confirm.

13,000,000 System points and 500 task points spent — congratulations, obtained the "T5 Chaos-Knight-class Heavy Assault Interstellar Destroyer" technical blueprint
System points remaining: 24,770,000
Task points remaining: 850

The interstellar destroyer is past dispute the jack-of-all-trades among the many ship types, and its build cost is not high besides.

If the Owl Dragon Legion could build out a batch of T5-grade interstellar warships in a short time, that would assuredly increase the Owl Dragon Legion's mastery upon the battlefield by a great deal.

And this T5 interstellar destroyer answered past dispute to Zhao Chen's present need.

And being of the heavy assault type, at need it could fight single-handed besides!

Chaos-Knight-class Heavy Assault Interstellar Destroyer
Ship type: interstellar destroyer
Technology grade: T5
Hull armor strength: 50,000–60,000 units
Star-shield energy: 1,100,000 units of star shield
Cruising speed: 700 star-knots
Warp engine: grade-nine warp engine
Length: 6.8 km
Mass: 3,100,000 tons
Complement: 6,000
Starship armament:
One tractor-beam projector
The Chaos War-Lance
100 heavy medium-and-short-range rapid-fire pulse cannon
300 fully automatic medium electromagnetic close-in guns

This T5 Chaos-Knight-class Heavy Assault Interstellar Destroyer, besides having its basic attributes in every quarter brought up to the T5 technology grade, had two special capabilities.

The first: one tractor-beam projector.

Upon reaching a certain distance, the T5 Chaos-Knight may loose a tractor beam upon a target starship, and can seize the target starship so that it cannot steer clear away.

The particulars of its use depend upon the distance between the two sides' starships at the time, the speed of the enemy starship, and so forth.

The second: the Chaos War-Lance.

This is a ram of a special nature!

It sits at the starship's forward end.

Speak of a ram, and Zhao Chen thinks at once of the rams of the T2 Black-Rhino-class Interstellar Heavy-Assault Frigate and the T3 Triceratops-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigate.

It must be said that plain and unadorned as this weapon fit is, it has an exceedingly outstanding effect upon the battlefield, and its value for the price is of the highest.

And this 'Chaos War-Lance' fitted to the T5 Chaos-Knight-class Heavy Assault Interstellar Destroyer, besides possessing the armor-breaking and boring-through power to ram an enemy ship.

Can, when it strikes upon an enemy ship's star shield, draw off that enemy ship's star-shield energy outright!

The star-shield energy so drawn off may on the one hand be stored within the 'Chaos War-Lance,' to be released in electromagnetic form when the target is next rammed; or else stored within the T5 Chaos-Knight's inner energy core, to replenish the T5 Chaos-Knight's energy system.

In theory this can bring about a waging of war upon war for this starship.

At the same time, the two attributes it possesses — heavy and assault — greatly increase its combat capability in that quarter.

Take together with that its build cost and its build requirements.

And it may be called, in the present case, the mass-production T5-grade interstellar warship best suited to the Owl Dragon Legion.
