"You want to build an Aircraft Carrier Starship?" Wendy Chase looked at Zachary Chase in surprise, and Charlotte also cast a surprised look.
"To be precise, it's a T2 Bee Queen-class Heavy Carrier Starship, and it's starship technology that I researched myself." Zachary unceremoniously took this honor for himself. Anyway, this was a system product, and no one would compete with him for it.
"You researched it?" Wendy looked at Zachary in surprise, somewhat disbelievingly.
As a genius student of the North Starship Military Academy, she was very clear about the importance of T2 Carrier Starship technology. Although T2 starships couldn't compare to T3 starships with Star Shields, for many lord fleets, private fleets, and interstellar adventurers, T2 starships were currently the most cost-effective choice. As one of the two strongest starship types, the Aircraft Carrier Starship, its value was self-evident!
Zachary shrugged. He didn't continue to dwell on this issue with Wendy, because now he was in a hurry to do many things.
"Charlotte, I'll give you some star coins. During this time, you can purchase half-orc slaves, up to five hundred people, through that female supervisor. My only requirement is that they must be female half-orc slaves." Zachary gave Charlotte the order.
Charlotte's heart trembled. Saving the half-orc warriors—who were once her comrades and were sold to the Star Glory Empire—was something she dreamed of. As for Zachary's last requirement, that they must be female half-orc slaves, she was still trying to understand Zachary's purpose. However, as long as she could save half-orc slaves, nothing else mattered.
"Wendy, for the next period of time, unless Jenna Hong reports intelligence, no one is to disturb me." After Zachary finished speaking, he left the Blizzard Zero.
He walked to the operating console on the other side of this large starship workshop. There, there were starship containers filled with various raw materials he had purchased, worth 1.5 million star coins! And a starship manufacturing platform!
"He… Is he really going to build a T2 Carrier Starship all by himself?" Wendy muttered.
"One person? This… That's impossible, right." Charlotte also found it hard to believe.
But the days that followed made them start to believe that Zachary was indeed thinking that! He operated the mechanical arms and various equipment, working day and night on the starship construction project. And the progress was very fast!
On the fifth day, Wendy had already seen the keel of the Aircraft Carrier Starship completed!
Wendy stood on the platform, looking at her brother, who looked a bit disheveled but was still working. She felt that this brother was truly too far away from her, never as distant as he was today.
By himself, he completed the construction of the T2 Carrier Starship's keel in five days. One must know that even at a professional starship manufacturer, this step would take at least half a month! But with Zachary, the time was directly shortened by three times, and he did it all by himself.
During these five days, Wendy watched Zachary do it step by step. He operated like a machine, only resting for a while at the console when there were procedures that didn't require his operation or when there was nothing else to do. In five days, he only slept for less than ten hours. Although he ate nutrient solutions every day, the burden on his body was truly too great.
Wendy clenched her fists and quickly walked up to Zachary, whose face was covered in oil, and pulled him over.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Zachary opened his eyes and looked at his sister in front of him: "Did Jenna contact you?"
Wendy was stunned. She didn't expect that the first thing this guy would ask her was that.
"No… No."
Zachary frowned slightly and continued to walk to his workstation: "Didn't I say? Unless Jenna contacts me, don't disturb me."
Wendy bit her lip and shouted: "Why have you suddenly changed?! Is it necessary to work so hard to build a starship? We can follow Jenna's advice and go back to the North Starship Military Academy first, and wait until Big Sister comes…"
"So everything is thrown to Big Sister, right?" Zachary's hands didn't stop, and his voice was a bit low.
"Big Sister is currently a member of the Imperial Army and serves as a starship captain in Her Royal Highness's personal guard fleet. As long as she steps forward, this matter can be easily resolved!" Wendy said.
Zachary said without lifting his head: "So everything is thrown to Big Sister, right?"
Wendy paused. For some reason, Zachary's words stung her like a thorn, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"I know, you have a good relationship with Big Sister. Big Sister never liked me since childhood because I took away what should have belonged to her." Zachary said with a bitter smile, his hands not stopping.
"Big Sister is very smart, just like you. She was directly recruited by the Imperial Military Starship Academy and could pilot a starship in combat at only twenty years old! Before the age of thirty, she became the captain of a T3 starship. In our Star Glory Empire, there are very few people who can achieve such results based on their own strength.
"And when Father was still alive, she managed the territory in an orderly manner. The Little Dragon Star System, which was on the verge of collapse at the time, was single-handedly lifted by Big Sister, allowing it to be maintained to this day. I was probably two years old then.
"When Father passed away, I had no memory at all, so to be honest, I don't have much affection for them. Later, I heard that after Father passed away, she applied to stay in the Imperial Army of the Star Glory Empire. Actually, she originally wanted to return to the Little Dragon Star System. Her application to return was submitted, but her superior rejected it three times, hoping she would reconsider.
"What made her suddenly cancel her three return applications? Choosing to stay in the Imperial Army? It was because of what Father said to Big Sister when he passed away. I don't know exactly what was said, but the general content was nothing more than: the future Little Dragon Star System title is for me, and I hope Big Sister can protect the Little Dragon Star System well and assist me."
At this point, Zachary's eyes dimmed slightly: "How unfair was that request to Big Sister? Although I don't have much contact with Big Sister, I heard from the servants. Big Sister's wish since childhood was to become the Little Dragon Lord of the Little Dragon Star System and build the Little Dragon Star System into a prosperous interstellar territory!
"Because of Father's selfish request, Big Sister's wish was directly shattered, and she was even cruelly made to assist the person who took away her wish. If it were me, I might not be able to do it. Even if it were my own younger brother! Why? Why should all of this belong to him when I am clearly more capable, more talented, and have done so much? Why!
"But she… our Big Sister, she didn't say a word. She agreed to Father."
Unbeknownst to him, Zachary felt himself gradually merging into the memories of this body. The past emotions and feelings also infected him. He had tried to control them before, but he found that these emotions were like a torrent; the more he blocked them, the more turbulent they became.
Therefore, Zachary decided to accept these frankly. It didn't matter who Zachary would ultimately be—whether it was the ordinary Zachary from his previous life or the second young master Zachary of the Little Dragon Star System. None of that mattered. He just wanted to do things according to his own ideas.
"Big Sister has been reporting good news and not bad news from the Imperial Army all these years. Not only does she have to develop her own future, but she also has to maintain the development of the Little Dragon Star System. Do you really think these are small matters? Although we can't see it, I can imagine Big Sister's loneliness when she bears all of this alone."
Zachary turned his head and looked at Wendy: "I don't want to see Big Sister like this. She has already made enough sacrifices! I am a man. I am the Little Dragon Lord! These things should be my responsibility. Since I have the ability now, I will do my best! Instead of hiding behind Big Sister and being a timid and weak second young master."
At this moment, Wendy looked at her brother in front of her. For the first time, she found that this originally unremarkable brother actually had light in his eyes!
An indescribable emotion spread within her heart.
