As everyone knew,
for a major power with a healthy system,
the vast majority of resources used to strengthen Kindling Warships should be invested in its fleet of Kindling Warships as soon as possible.

At most, it could keep some in reserve for emergencies and to meet its operating needs.
Accordingly,
when the Sky Peng Horizontal suddenly demanded a substantial amount of Kindling Warship enhancement resources from the Li Family Chamber of Commerce,
the Li Family Chamber of Commerce certainly couldn't gather everything in a short time while strictly meeting the Sky Peng Horizontal's requirements.
Everyone aboard the Sky Peng Horizontal had been prepared for this.
Besides, similar situations had occurred countless times in Kindling Human Civilization.
For example, when two Death Starships competed for a precious Cosmic Treasure.
Or when the prize was a high-quality module.
After a "Gentleman's Decision," it was hardly reasonable to demand that the losing side produce another identical item.
And so, supplementary clauses were created to address the need.

After its defeat, the Hanchuan Simida couldn't produce as many Kindling Warship enhancement resources as the Sky Peng Horizontal demanded.
But it could still compensate by converting other assets into the equivalent value of Kindling Warship enhancement resources.
Naturally, an additional "processing fee" had to be added at a certain rate, to
