"The Neon Star Alliance has been progressing steadily, Supreme Leader..."
Starting his report, Julius began to recount the development of the alliance while Nash was in seclusion.
While he was away, they further expanded the production of the Neon Defense System and the Dark Energy Purification Device. They even reopened the production line for the Neon Battleship.
While the purification device was needed by the major and top-level teams, the Neon Battleship remained popular among the others. Besides killing dark beasts with free perpetual energy, it could also go unimpeded in the thick dark energy environment.
The dark gate not only brought the danger of dark beasts, but also a harsh environment for all matter. As a result of this, technological devices were being corroded at a faster rate.
This was also the main reason they were having a hard time stabilizing the situation around the dark gate. To maintain those large-scale defensive systems, they had to spend a lot of manpower, stretching them thin.
The Neon Battleship filled this gap. Using it as a free transportation ship, they could navigate the void with less waste. Although it wasn’t strong, they could still mount a tier 8 battleship’s weapon to deal with unforeseen danger.
"How is the Neon Battleship selling? The production process of those is 100 times harder than a purification device; the price must have gone up."
"It is. We increased the price to 100 billion per ship. Still, they’re sold out as soon as they come out."
"I see. In a while, I’ll see if I can deduce the feasibility of a tier 7 or even tier 8 Neon Battleship."
Creating such a tier of dark technological battleship was not a problem for Nash; the challenge was how to mass-produce them. Once his genetic ability advanced, he should be able to optimize the universal module system to have such a capability.
"That’s good!"
Afterward, Julius detailed how the production capacity of the purification devices had grown from 20 billion a month to over 50 billion. Meanwhile, the defensive modules of the Neon Defense System, the core safeguard for stabilizing the dark gate, had shot up from 10,000 a month to 100,000.
It might have seemed like overproduction; however, the dark energy purification devices they built were still not enough to meet demand from the others. As for the defensive modules, the surplus they weren’t using was stored away for future expansion.
"You’re doing great."
"It’s because of your reputation, Supreme Leader. Now our public trading zone has managed to attract over ten thousand high-level cosmic team alliances and countless others."
"Hiss— so that’s why the public trading platform has been so crowded lately."
In this cosmic competition, there are 7 major teams, over 10 thousand top-level teams, and over a million high-level teams. Managing to attract a hundredth of the high-level cosmic teams must have emptied the crowds from the Chronos Alliance Area.
"What’s the reaction of the Chronos Alliance? Did they say something?"
"No, the Chronos Saint seems bent on forging the path ahead with strength alone. They don’t care how we fight or compete, as long as it doesn’t affect them."
"What about the other top-level teams?"
"Some began to conduct massive recruitment campaigns, attracting over a thousand high-level cosmic team alliances. Others also mass-produced dark technology which functions like the purification device, hoping to compete with us. Some were more neutral, asking if we wanted to team up."
Over at the Chronos Alliance Area, there are about 2,100 top-level cosmic team alliances. When it comes to trade and market competition, the Neon Alliance dominates at the top. How could the others not be jealous?
Unfortunately, there was a 100-year peace treaty overseen by the seven major teams. As a result, they could only compete fairly, using their deep foundations to barely rein in the growth of the Neon Star Alliance.
"We’ll be in for hell if we don’t prepare early..."
After the peace treaty, the Neon Alliance would be a giant mountain of fat that the others would first set their eyes on. If they didn’t prepare some trump cards, they would be swallowed whole when the time came.
"What should we do, Supreme Leader?" Julius asked worriedly, having a clearer picture of the problem.
It had been about three and a half years since the Altier Convention. In about 97 years, the all-out war for territory would begin.
"You don’t have to worry about anything, just continue what you’re doing. Focus on building more dark gates, this is our foundation." Nash smiled in confidence.
Although they were in a precarious situation, he was confident he could deal with any problem.
The greatest gain from his advancement was not his strength or the primordial path. What it gave him was the potential for the power to change the very structure of the universe. As long as his genetic ability advanced to rank 3, he could even turn problems into opportunity.
"I will do my best, Supreme Leader. After we stabilize the situation around the dark gate, we’ll try to build five dark gates simultaneously."
"Oh? Have those scientists learned it?" Nash’s eyes lit up.
"Some of them have. However, we also specially recruited top scientists from the other high-level teams. Although they’re not officially part of the Neon Star Alliance, they were willing to contribute their ability."
"Nice thinking!" If they didn’t have enough talent, then hire more. Although inferior to top-level teams, some high-level teams still had a few tier 6 scientists and top professionals as their foundation. With their help, they could stand at the same level as those top-level teams.
Soon, the two continued to chat, planning the development of the Neon Star Alliance. One matter in particular became the focus of attention.
Feeling the Neon Star Public Trading Zone was too bloated and chaotic, Nash decided for it to be divided and spread around each dark gate.
In this way, not only could they better manage the chaos caused by the dark gate, there would also be plenty more space for those high-level cosmic team alliances to expand. After all, while they settled to earn money, they also wanted a place to further develop their teams.
In the future, once there were enough dark gates, they might be able to each occupy a public trading zone, guarding and managing the place for the Neon Star Alliance. Although the expansion and division of the public trading zone was expensive, they had plenty of money to spare.
