The seven people were talking and laughing all the way, and they were not walking slowly. After thirty minutes, they quickly arrived at Area D of the docking port.
And all the officers of Guangfu had been waiting for a long time.
Kaiden led Nilus, Parks and Vassell, who were also wearing their respective officer uniforms, and saluted: "Captain Xie Yuan, all the subordinate officers of the Guangfu on standby in the Citadel salute you."
Xie Yuan also stood at attention, saluted to several people in a polite manner, and then held Kaiden's hand: "We can fight together again, Kaiden, but in the end, I still became the captain before you - You won’t feel uncomfortable.”
"Well, I know that you are a hands-off shopkeeper and basically don't care about things, so I don't care at all, but I am very happy - well, a battleship!"
Kaiden also patted Xie Yuan's shoulder excitedly: "You also got me some big news - I have never heard of a three-kilometer-long ship!"
"It's just the right time."
Xie Yuan didn't want to talk more, but turned Kaiden's attention to Shepard: "Shepard is here too, and you can also talk to her about old times. By the way, Councilor Anderson strangely put part of what used to be Your crew was pulled aboard the Guangming...can you...accept it?"
"..." Kaiden just didn't want to face Shepard who had returned from the dead... He didn't even know how to deal with her coming back.
Shepard, who noticed this, immediately bumped fists with Kayden. Seeing Kayden's subconscious reaction, Shepard held his shoulders: "It's great to see you, Kayden. ——I am indeed back.”
"...Well, it's great to see you..." Kaiden responded calmly, but his trembling hands also showed the unrest in his heart.
"I don't care about them entering the Guangfu, Yuan - they are not my personal subordinates."
Shepard turned his head and looked at Xie Yuan calmly: "And I'm very happy for them. This is the first super-sized dreadnought ship in the history of the galaxy, and it has been approved by the parliament to serve on this ship. It must be a legendary journey.”
"Well said! Shepard, it's a good thing to be able to meet again and see you as you always are."
It was Nilus who spoke. The turian had already taken off the black and red armor of the ghost, but his spirit remained the same. He also came up and shook hands with Xie Yuan and Shepard.
"Long time no see, Nilus, I always appreciate your promotion." Shepard responded enthusiastically.
"I think my choice at the beginning was not wrong, and now I know that I have taken the right path." Nilus also felt proud and proud.
Then the turian also looked at Xie Yuan: "I have never thanked you for saving my life. In addition to recent events, I promise you that I will cooperate with you as reasonably as possible in military affairs."
"Thank you," Xie Yuan also reciprocated, "We encourage each other."
Then Xie Yuan also exchanged greetings with Vasseur and Parks. We were not particularly familiar with each other before, so we didn’t have too much contact.
Before the atmosphere could heat up, Congressman Anderson and the Director-General had already arrived together.
"It seems that your atmosphere is good, very good." Councilor Anderson looked good, and when he saw Xie Yuan and Shepard, he nodded seriously and said hello, but when he looked at Shepard, his eyes were softer, "The Guangfu will be here soon. Come, get ready.”
As soon as they heard that the ship was coming, everyone immediately got ready with serious expressions.
At the port berth, many people wearing maintenance uniforms were divided into groups and busy. After a while, I saw an airlock that stretched out of the cantilevered body of the guard area for ships to dock upwards...and then another...seven or eight airlocks were retracted and lifted, and were moved to another part of the port area. One end. The whole process took ten minutes.
Then the sky darkened, and the starlight that had been shining down diagonally just now was completely blocked... The lighting system in the port area started on its own, making up for the lack of natural light... A huge flying object shaped like a cross just slowly... Slowly appeared from the distance and moved towards the port.
Well, the shape is different from the cross hammer. Xie Yuan is quite satisfied with it. At least the shape is not only unique, but the back is not without protective capabilities.
However, as the spaceship got closer and closer, Xie Yuan felt more and more funny and regretful at the same time.
The Guangfu was really just a small ship with a length of 2.49 kilometers at the beginning, no more than a cruiser in the 30K universe, but Xie Yuan asked the priests of the Forge World to make modifications in order to localize it in other universes in the future.
In fact, the entire Sword-class frigate adopts a modular design and can be disassembled, assembled and combined like building blocks - otherwise, how could the Guangfu become 3.6 kilometers long?
They were all put together by Pan-Asia scientific researchers. After being pieced together and then reassembled, the assembly was perfect, but that does not mean there are no flaws - first of all, its overall strength is not as good as that of an integrally built ship of the same size.
To this end, Xie Yuan paid a lot and made a promise. Once an interesting high-tech tomb is discovered... Xie Yuan must provide troops and sufficient security forces to help complete his exploration.
The construction level of Pan Asia is really good. The overall ship has been raised a lot, but it doesn't look like it is put together at all...
But the fly in the ointment is that the bridge style is a bit divided: the upper part continues the fantasy of the Gothic palace in the 30K period, and the components in the lower half return to the luxury and grandeur of the Eastern palace... Shen Ta Ma combines Chinese and Western styles; After the hull part was widened and thickened, it looked like a land fortress style common on pioneering stars.
The plasma engine at the back has been modified and turned into four large jet engines - the proton engine is probably too expensive to use at this size. However, the auxiliary thrusters on both sides have protons - so the actual image It should be a cross-shaped mace, not just a cross.
The most eye-catching thing is the three rotatable triple turrets on the upper half, two at the front and one at the back! The nine-gun barrel, with a diameter that could easily fit a shuttle, was raised high, signaling that it was harmless. At the bottom, the same triple turret, one in front and one in back, a total of six, is also in a non-firing state.
On the sides of the upper and lower decks, there are about twenty twin secondary turrets that are several sizes smaller, with forty or fifty guns. The other side is probably also designed to be symmetrical. As for the next-level close-in defense guns... Xie Yuan didn't count them carefully. Anyway, the muzzles of these guns were raised in unison, and the whole ship now looked as ferocious as a mace with spikes on it.
When the port fixtures were attached to the hull, the airlock was connected, and the battleship was moored in, Xie Yuan only felt a slight shake under his feet - it seemed that this Citadel Space Station was not good!
If I find a super ship more than ten kilometers away, how will I find a place to dock in the future?
Xie Yuan suddenly felt a sting on his arm. He turned around and saw that it was Ada. She was completely shocked and speechless: "Is this the Guangfu?! Is this what you told me?"
When I change ships, I may have to fly the mass aircraft so as not to delay things! "
"There are two lanes and two sidewalks on each floor on both sides of the ship. There are pick-up and drop-off points for ET-6 transport vehicles back and forth. There are freight elevators every kilometer up and down connecting the upper and lower floors. In emergencies, I still have secret equipment to keep. Communication from layer to layer”
Xie Yuan already had countermeasures for this.
You guys..." At this point, Shepard couldn't help but look back at Xie Yuan's new ship and shook his head: "If nothing else, the size is too large! Don’t talk about our Star Alliance’s fearlessness! This... is almost bigger than the Overlord, right? "
"Hasn't the "Treaty of Farrickson" been abrogated?" Xie Yuan turned to look at Shepard, "Then this modified cargo ship does not violate the rules."
"It's no violation..." Shepard was also speechless. She thought it was nothing at first, but today she felt deeply in awe when she saw this thing.
It's too big. Without mentioning the huge and deep "black abyss" in the center of the ship's bow, it's impossible to imagine how much power this central axis gun can produce at one time.
Moreover, there are a total of 5 triple electromagnetic guns at the top and bottom. A single gun can be inferred to have the minimum firepower of a cruiser. And if you just use these triple artillery guns on the upper and lower spine, you can fire out the firepower of five cruisers - and this can already cause a little damage to the overlord.
Looking at Jack and Grunt, you can tell that both of them have straight eyes, and soon a large number of bystanders are coming behind them to observe the ship that has just caused chaos.
"So..." Anderson looked at Xie Yuan and spoke up first, "Aren't you inviting us to go in and have a look? Let us check it out anyway - to be honest, this is also the first time I have seen this ship, and it is quite shocking. "
"That's what I meant." Xie Yuan looked at the open hatch and extended an invitation, "Welcome to visit my ship."
