With a "buzzing" vibration, Dawn received the request for pairing from the distant repeater and began to increase the power of the mass core.

A bright blue lightning halo appeared around the Dawn Mothership. This light was pure and beautiful, and even the nearby blue giant star could not cover it. It only lasted for a short time, and the dazzling halo flickered, and the next moment... three strange-shaped spaceships appeared in the shadow blocked by the Dawn.

The appearance of these three ships is... quite ugly! The two ends are pointed, and the hull is twisted into a strange little S shape, and the middle is round - like a short, fat earthworm? Sure enough - only a machine brain like the Geth could design such a beautyless thing.

The ship that came was a large Geth cruiser, with two Geth troop transports. They accepted Lu Yuan's formal invitation and came for a "state visit." Lu Yuan was standing on the dock with a few free members, preparing to welcome Geth's first visit.

The Dawn Carrier's own security measures are very good.

First, there is communication security. The Dawn Carrier has communication capabilities that span the entire galaxy, so she can choose to access the network anywhere there is a buoy network. The communication access point with Cerberus was sometimes in Ilim and sometimes in the Geth space. In short, it made the Illusive Man who was tracking crazy.

Secondly, it is the security of transmission. The Dawn Carrier itself is a main-level mass effect repeater that can form a massless channel with any repeater in the entire galaxy - but the Dawn is not an unlimited repeater! Every item attempted to be transported through the Dawn. All must be verified, that is, obtaining a temporary iff - and currently the only ones qualified for verification are Geth and Cerberus.

Among them, the Geth can teleport battleships because the Geth people are honest. Cerberus, on the other hand, only allows the teleportation of inanimate objects.

There is no buoy network around the Spear System at all. Even if the thing sent from Cerberus had a positioning device, the signal would not be sent out. If an illegal item is transmitted, it is very simple - just let it be transmitted outside the shadow of the Dawn Mothership - the radiation of the blue giant will destroy any item immediately! Currently, there is nothing like the Dawn Mothership in the entire galaxy. In order to absorb solar energy, the hull of the spacecraft is specially synthesized from high-temperature resistant alloy materials.

The cooperation between Dawn and Cerberus has been very open and close from the beginning, starting from the high end, as if nothing in the world can be done if the two of them don't trade and change organizations... It seems that this is indeed the case. Both parties have requests that only the other party can fulfill.

But the cooperation between Dawn and Geth is something else. The transaction items provided by Lu Yuan are all ridiculous things - teaching Geth how to eat, teaching Geth how to sleep, etc. - This means that Geth is not in mood, otherwise he would definitely be angry!

On the contrary, what the geth gave back was something they cared about deeply - their battleship technology. Their expensive purple laser main cannon, their pulse technology... almost all the valuable money they had was given away! But geth himself feels that it is worth it, including yf-533. But tragically, he has so far. Not yet recognized as a member of the geth.

This idiot... Even Geth noticed that he had a special soul. He even cried and insisted on hugging Geth's thigh...

As for this time. Because the Dawn's human resources had been exhausted, Lu Yuan had no choice but to think about the Geth human resources. Because currently we are only manufacturing Star Alliance standard battleships, but the entire mothership has already been overwhelmed! But Lao Lu’s goal for the future is——

In the next twenty years, a force of thirty Chaoyang-class dreadnoughts (8,000+ meters), eighty to one hundred Akatsuki-class cruisers (3,500+ meters, and about 500 Shuguang-class frigates (800+ meters, A huge fleet of special ships and about two to two hundred Venus-class support ships!

Not to mention a large number of suicide gunboats and small fighter planes. This is just the first phase of combat power needed against the Mona people. If it is to deal with the Reapers, there is no need for the Chaoyang-class dreadnought to appear, only the Akatsuki-class cruiser and the Dawn-class frigate are enough...

Not to mention the amount of construction work, the hull frame alloy materials required alone are estimated to be as high as 43 billion tons, which is equivalent to the combined mass of four or five Dawns! In short, such a huge amount of work cannot be completed even in Dawn's dream. It is impossible for other races to complete it. It can only be completed if tens of millions or hundreds of millions of getis join in... The price Lao Lu paid for this is Grant the geth citizenship rights on the Dawn—listen clearly, these are citizenship rights only on the Dawn…

The two troop transport ships docked at the dock first, and the sides of the ship opened, revealing rows of neatly hung geth robot platforms. These geth platforms are bipedal stepper robots that resemble quarians in appearance. Due to the precise similarities in details, the different armed robots can only be distinguished by their paintwork and weapons.

When the geth is powered on, these combat platforms light up in rows. They held different firearms and stepped off the spacecraft in batches. Geth infantry, Geth rocket troops, Geth hunters, Geth elites... and even the heavy four-legged Geth colossi all swung down from the bow and stern of the ship, automatically forming squares of various sizes. Formation, silently stationed on both sides of the dock.

This is almost becoming an exhibition hall of geth battle robots. All the ones Lu Yuan has seen in the game appear here. If you don’t know, you might think that these geth have bad intentions towards the Dawn and want to wait for an opportunity to occupy the Dawn mothership. But Lu Yuan knows a lot about geth and even AI - they are always as precise as a program.

After the two troop carriers were unloaded, the cruiser in the middle began to dock slowly. The hatch of the spaceship opened, and three geth with special paint stepped down the bridge.

"Welcome to Dawn, I'm Lu Yuan." He motioned to the others to stay where they were, and Lu Yuan took the lead to greet them.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Commander Lu Yuan." The red-painted geth in the middle said.

"Me too. But you should call me Captain, not Commander. There's a subtle difference between the two words—well, forget about that for now. What should I call you?"

"Geth."

"I knew it... Although I really want to call you Legion, but considering that you might get madly complained about, it's better for you to choose your own name!"

"According to data analysis, this is you showing your sense of humor. Haha." The red Geth "electronically laughed" a few times, making Lu Yuan break into a cold sweat before continuing, "You can call me one. Among all the Geth Here, my number is twelve '0's and one '1'."

"Very good, then let me confirm our previous agreement - all geth platforms are equipped with more than 100 geths (it is guaranteed that each geth platform has tens of thousands of vi's inside - is this true?"

"Yes, Captain Lu Yuan, we strictly abide by the agreement."

"Then, you can put down your weapons temporarily, and then you can enter the mothership and move around as you like. If you want to visit, you can call Ms. Dawn at any time... I think you have discovered her, and she is also an AI. If you need to communicate with the Jie from your homeland, Make a connection with Si. Find her too.”

Geth speaks calmly, clearly, and lacks fluctuations, so he is definitely not a good conversation partner. It is conceivable that if they encounter green skins, something unexpected will happen. But since Lu Yuan has allowed them to board the ship and move around freely. Of course, I won’t do anything deliberately, everything will just happen naturally.

Lu Yuan did this not just to "cheat" a large group of labor force. But because he believed it. Between humans and synthetic life, there must be a better choice besides annihilating each other and merging into one... so he wants to try it!

"What's your name?" When the red-painted Geth moved forward along the passage, Alona stopped him and asked curiously.

"One." Geth stopped and answered seriously. Lu Yuan promised their safety, so the Geth were not allowed to make any dangerous moves inside the Dawn.

"It doesn't sound good... it sounds like a puppy." Nana rejected the name without even thinking about it. She rolled her eyes and pointed at the sensor on Geth's chest and said, "I don't like the color of this either." As she moved her finger, the sensor with green light turned red. "You can just call it 'red light' from now on."

After saying that, Nana took away the number plate hanging around the geth's neck - in order to distinguish it, every geth had one. The number for "one" is 000,000,000,001. "Now, you have your own name, you don't need a number plate."

Nana announced that this was a step agreed upon by Lu Yuan and the crew in advance.

"Red... the difference, this is what we have always wanted." The Geth whose name was changed paused and did not object. "Red Light" simply bypassed Nana and continued walking towards the interior of the ship.

Lu Yuanzhi stood proudly at the dock door, looking at the geths' backs as they walked towards the depths of the mothership. The bright light gave their bodies a faint metallic glow. From today on, the last piece of the puzzle in Lu Yuan's pattern seems to be completed.

At this time, his all-purpose tool suddenly received a message.

Lu Yuan opened it and saw that it was the iPartner software that he had not used for a long time.

[User: lb requests to communicate with you. ] Lu Yuan chose to agree.

[lb: Hi, guy, I heard you are a smuggling captain? Is your ship still there? I need a small favor from you. The price will satisfy you...]

Lu Yuan pinched his chin and recalled for a long time before suddenly remembering, wasn't this the woman he scared away with "syphilis"? Moreover, I don’t remember ever revealing my occupation. How did the other party know that I was the captain of a smuggling ship? interesting!

[My Black Knight: Hey, little girl, now you know how powerful I am! An appointment? ! 】

Miranda resisted the feeling of nausea and re-checked the information in her hand - Lu Yuan, the captain of the "Broken Tail Falcon", is probably the best smuggling captain in the new century... - "You are unlucky, just is you!"

[lb: Appointment! 】
