How many ships' worth of cargo? The brilliant starry sky in Outer Space, there are dozens of ships' worth!
Some ships have been drifting in space for more than two years, which is unavoidable. They're almost at their destination, but then an Insect Race invasion occurred. Returning would waste energy, so they have to hide a bit further back.
Anyway, the cost of food, drink, and sleep for the crew doesn't consume much in terms of resources. The real cost would be sailing back, not to mention the energy needed for the journey. Just the docking fees at the port would be a significant expense.
However, Xuan Gao also knew that things couldn't be pushed too far. After calculating, he replied, "There are eight ships, all carrying scarce materials. I can clear out eight docks for you. How about that?"
