Chapter 1834: Chapter 575: Infiltrating the Secret Base
Because this place is precisely where the true galaxies are separated by the completely void cosmic space.
Not to mention planets, even interstellar dust is not a common thing here, as this space was utterly abandoned after being devoured by those galaxies.
And the target of these fleets is the only man-made object in this void cosmos, the only large-scale object, a giant space base comparable to a planetary level, connected by numerous space stations.
As the fleet approaches, the floating metallic spheres around the large Space Station instantly deploy collectively. Among the many small-caliber ship cannons, one enormous main cannon, resembling two electric chopsticks, stands out distinctly, with energy beginning to surge within.
Its muzzle deadlock focuses on every warship in the fleet, with energy shields fully activated, as if facing the most ferocious enemy.
Of course, this fleet is not here to attack the Space Station.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be aiming a warning right now; it would be direct bombardment.
"Warning: This is the Gemini Civilization garrison. Please immediately declare your identity and accept the data verification by our Mechanical Master, or we will fire in ten seconds..."
The warning repeats continuously, and although it sounds nice, like it’s meant for "data verification."
In reality, it’s the Mechanical Master performing a quantum intrusion, unilaterally capturing all data from the ships to confirm safety.
If it were anyone else, tensions would rise instantly, but this fleet doesn’t mind.
"This is the material transport fleet, code PT-017, identification number...
All data cores of the warship have been opened, data interfacing can proceed at any time..."
Once the formal tone concluded, the voice within the fleet shifted, gaining a bit of brightness.
"Hey, stingers, hurry up, we’re here to bring you food!
We ran all the way here, and it’s exhausting. Hurry up and finish the check so I can rest!
Tsk, do we really have to go through all these procedures even for dialogue..."
The Fleet Captain complained mercilessly, clearly knowing someone within the stationed fleet here.
"Telling me won’t do any good; this is an order from above.
Your earlier dialogue has been synced into the records, and the officer will see it shortly.
Also, I already told you, during missions, don’t use my nickname, even if we’re classmates; this is the military..."
"Tsk, that old guy, does he dare to control me?"
Although his tone was cocky, the Captain didn’t say anything further.
That officer had quite a strong hold over him; after all, it’s his own father. It’s fine to boast casually, but saying too much won’t stop his dad from ignoring his pride and giving him a beating.
However, because of this status, the Mechanical Master’s inspection was clearly more diligent, completing quicker than usual.
The surrounding fortress cannons, originally locked onto them, no longer seemed as aggressive but still locked onto every warship in the fleet, not due to distrust but as a fixed procedural operation.
Ignoring the locked muzzles, this material transport fleet passed through the Joint Shield woven by the fortress.
Sitting in the command room, the Captain felt as if some powerful energy had swept over him, causing slight discomfort, although he wasn’t surprised.
He knew it wasn’t an energy sweep.
But an energy membrane overlapping with this base’s shield, manifesting a radar capable of detecting any high-energy reacting entity within the fleet, with extreme precision.
Unless a person carried a specific identification device, they would trigger a warning.
Enough to lock onto any outsider hidden on the warship.
And as expected, they passed smoothly; he had personally checked this warship several times without a hitch, and no hitchhiker could possibly appear during the journey, so why worry?
Officially entering the base’s range, the fleet under the operator’s guidance turned towards a particular port within the base.
On the way, different types of energy membranes swept over them several times. The Captain was growing somewhat impatient with the incessant sweeping of energy membranes when the fleet finally docked.
"Tsk, isn’t this vigilance a bit too strict? We’re already inside, why are there still so many radars..."
Disembarking from the ship, the Captain couldn’t resist complaining.
"Sir, this is, after all, a top-secret matter; it’s never wrong to be cautious," reminded the Deputy from behind, but the Captain appeared indifferent.
"Anyway, there’s never been an intrusion, such a place, who would even come..."
Muttering under his breath, the Captain came face-to-face with a Transcendent whose rank was similar to his, and the Deputy promptly stepped forward to hand over a paper document.
"Here is the list of materials being transported this time, please verify."
Though such a place is hidden, the security measures are stronger than usual.
Another young Deputy from the base stepped forward for cross-checking and soon nodded towards that Transcendent.
The latter took the document and started signing one name after another while exchanging pleasantries:
"Thanks for your hard work, staying this time for a day?"
"No, we have a task this time, need to transport some items back, might have to stay a few more days."
The Captain’s expression showed some impatience.
"Tsk, transporting things, well, that indeed takes several days."
The Transcendent nodded in understanding, being one of the base’s upper echelons; he clearly knew how many procedures there were to go through just to transport items.
Even just checking and personnel screening alone would take a day, not to mention multiple procedures; moving a single item could have a ten-minute check rule, spending several days isn’t surprising.
