Chapter 618: Shortage of Materials

"Currently, the Mother Core Ship can produce a total of 150 tier 6 battleships every single day."

"So low?" Nash frowned.

With such a capacity, even if the mother core ship produced tier 6 battleships nonstop, it would only produce over 500,000 tier 6 battleships in a decade.

Such a scale couldn’t even support his team, much less the Neon Star Alliance.

"This is not the maximum capacity but because we don’t have enough materials."

"Furthermore, besides battleships, the Mother Core Ship is also responsible for the creation of various parts of large-scale defensive weapons and components for the Great Array," Aykroyd explained.

"Lack of materials?"

"Yes. If we had enough materials we could directly create a complete tier 6 battleship industrial production machine," Aykroyd sighed.

The important thing about a mother core ship was not just its ability to mass-produce various technology and weapons, but its ability to replicate anything.

Different from other industrial hubs that could only create what they were made for, the mother core ship could even duplicate itself.

This is what made it a Dimensional Foundation. With one mother core ship, a civilization could have as many replicas as possible.

However, without the right materials and sufficient capability, they could only treat the mother core ship as an ordinary industrial hub.

Aykroyd was confident he had enough skill to create a Tier 6 battleship industrial production machine.

However, not having those rare, high-tier materials, his hands were tied.

"I see. This is indeed a problem."

At this moment, Nash understood the underlying issue.

It wasn’t that the Mother Core Ship’s capacity was low; it was simply because they were poor.

Deciding to seclude themselves, they could rely only on their reserves.

And even if they were lucky enough to find a mineral source along their course, it was too little to satisfy their needs.

Thinking of solutions, Nash suddenly thought of the intelligence force he had sent out to various public trading zones.

Initially, they were used to gather information about the current situation in the wild void area.

However, with a small operation, they could even set up a business, let alone buy materials.

As for the money, he had more than enough void crystals to spend!

Over the past few years, since the Great Concealment Array was built, improvements to it hadn’t stopped.

From concealment, they integrated the Star Void Energy Control Array.

With the complete integration of the array, they were able to siphon excess energy from the sun star void and condense it into void crystals.

Although the Sun Star Void was already supporting the Great Array, over a sextillion people training, and the universal runic system, there was still about 30% excess.

Instead of letting it dissipate into the void, the Star Void Energy Control Array managed to save it and condense void crystals!

Void crystal, while it may seem common and ordinary in a civilized galactic territory, in this wild void area, it was the number one currency!

Whether it was higher-tier treasures, materials, or even elemental and law crystals, as long as one had enough void crystals, they could buy anything.

Unlike in a civilized galactic territory, the power of void crystal had no limit.

Nash estimated it could even buy a Tier 8 battleship.

Of course, with their current reserves, it was simply a pipe dream.

Even then, the importance of void crystal in the wild void territory was clear.

After all, in this desolate place, where one day they might run out of energy, void crystal was their only saving grace.

Thinking of this, Nash immediately conveyed the plan to Aykroyd.

"This is indeed brilliant! Not only could we buy the materials we need, we can even earn money along the way!" Aykroyd nodded in excitement.

Although doing business in public trading zones was dangerous, as long as they were careful, there shouldn’t be any problem.

"Isn’t this too risky? What if they trace us when we transport the materials?" Elizabeth frowned.

As long as the business was big enough, it might tempt those top cosmic teams to follow them here.

"Don’t worry. We’ll transport the materials using the Void Pulse," Nash said after a bit of thought.

"How can that be? Without the Void Pulse we would have no guarantee," Camilla also frowned.

The Void Pulse was their last escape path once something went wrong.

Although they were quite safe inside the Sun Star Void Area, coupled with the Great Array surrounding the place, who knows what could happen?

"This is indeed a problem," Nash also realized.

It seemed his soaring strength had made him overconfident.

Although they might not need to use the Void Pulse as a last resort, they couldn’t be without it.

"If that’s the case, how about just buying enough materials? After we have enough to build a hundred tier 6 battleship industrial machines, we could stop," Aykroyd suggested upon hearing their worries.

It would indeed attract covetous eyes once they did some business.

However, if they just bought materials, even if the cost was enormous, the danger they would attract would not be too great.

Furthermore, there isn’t only one public trading zone.

Just around their area alone, there are thousands!

As long as they are careful, buying the required materials wouldn’t make a splash.

"That’s indeed a good idea!" Nash nodded.

If it’s just a one-time thing, perhaps Nash could lead the team.

Having been in the Sun Star Void Area for years, he was a little suffocated.

With the Void Pulse, even if they encountered problems, escape shouldn’t be difficult.

"I plan to lead the team. Do you want to come with me?" Nash asked, turning to Camilla and Elizabeth.

"Really? We can go with you?" they asked in excitement.

Although they were worried, it’s different when they are together.

Since they are together, they don’t need to worry about Nash.

If worst comes to worst, at least they would die together.

"Alright, don’t overthink it. There shouldn’t be any danger." Nash patted their heads.

Turning toward Aykroyd, he asked for everything they needed to buy.

"Can I also request other things unrelated to the mother core ship?"

"Hmm, as long as we can afford it, we’ll buy everything," Nash nodded.

Since they couldn’t come out frequently, they needed to stock up.

If the money wasn’t enough, there were also those treasures he conjured using his ability.

Planning to go on a shopping spree, they quickly began to prepare.
