Interstellar Transport Fleet

But!

This was interstellar travel spanning tens or even hundreds of light-years!

Escorting a single transport vessel required at least two destroyers, and destroyers were no civilian ships—they were genuine energy guzzlers.

The energy, supplies, and depreciation costs for a single escort mission would probably consume all the annual profits of a Titan Bank planetary branch. It simply was not worth it!

Tang Shizhe frowned in thought, the pen in his hand spinning continuously.

"I've got it!" Tang Shizhe slapped the table.

The Titan Group executives and Tang Er both looked over curiously.

"We can form an armed transport fleet to provide armed shipping services for sellers and buyers in the Interstellar Bazaar!"

"That way, those sellers and buyers won't need to prepare their own ships. Just like online shopping in our civilization, as long as they prepare the goods and place an order online, we'll dispatch a ship to deliver the cargo to its destination!"

"As long as this income can offset the fleet's consumption and routine maintenance costs, that will be enough! We can have Titan Bank's ships travel with the armed transport fleet each time! That will save us the cost of armed escorts! Not losing money is making money!"

"Without anyone noticing, we'll have scattered countless warships throughout the Milky Way. If the Group ever faces danger, these armed escort warships will become weapons in our hands." Tang Shizhe excitedly set down his pen and began calculating figures on his computer.

"Most importantly, interstellar transport isn't as convenient or fast as transport within a planet. The shortest trips take days, while the longest can take half a year or even a full year. Therefore, the civilized users of online shopping definitely won't be too concerned about the time involved."

"In that case, we can set a
