Chapter 524 BASF enters the 'Grand View Garden'
“Warmly welcome Baron BASF to visit the A. Bawa Ku Asteroid Fortress for exchanges and guidance!”
When Baron BASF saw the projection outside the Asteroid Fortress After the huge welcome speech, I was still a little shocked by this welcome method full of 'Atlas characteristics'.
However, after he came to his senses, he still acted like he was well-informed, and calmly said to the other entourage around him:
"Let the visitors immediately You can feel the passion of the owner. Well, this is called professionalism, everyone should learn from it~"
"Yes! Lord Baron!"
Baron Basf, the 'Princess Envoy', arrived at the A. Bawa Ku Fortress nearly three days later than the first fleet led by Cliffs.
So when the private armed cruise ship "Szchelbechi" he was on entered the approach orbit of the A. Bava Ku Fortress, he also happened to meet the ship that had just completed the supply and personnel status inspection. of the First Fleet.
As the first 'outsider' invited to visit the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress, the Baron naturally knew that he was the first to safely observe the asteroid fortress at such a close distance. People of planetary fortresses and battle fleets.
After all, the last group of people who came to this distance to ‘observe up close’ were the combined fleets of the military-industrial complex.
It's just that what greeted them was not a huge projected welcome speech, nor flowers and music, but fortress cannons and satellite missile groups.
Baron BASF also showed a strong interest in everything here. I rushed to the front of the bridge with great excitement, almost pressing my face to the cold dome-type observation window-different from the design idea of the battleship's combat bridge that pays more attention to protection, the 'luxury' such as a private cruise ship is Passenger comfort and experience are top priority, so the bridge of a cruise ship is usually placed on the upper deck in a 'semi-buried' style.
This is especially true for Baron BASF’s ‘Szczerbych’. In non-combat conditions, the entire bridge will close the external protective armor and rise to the outside of the deck.
The huge dome-shaped ‘observation window’ made of high-strength composite transparent material makes everyone on the bridge feel as if they are directly in the infinite universe.
At this moment, everyone on the bridge, including Baron BASF, saw a spectacular sight.
The ships of the First Fleet and the lights revealed on their portholes were like a huge school of self-illuminating deep-sea fish, sailing out of the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress one after another.
These ships are arranged neatly and sail slowly according to their respective fleet groups. The long blue tails of the main propulsion arrays seem to be connected together, forming an orderly track.
As for the asteroid fortress itself, in this cold universe, it is like a huge coral reef that provides 'shelter' for fish schools. The surface is covered with the entrances and exits of the deployment bay, various facilities and external temporary The mooring point, with ships and traffic boats passing through it, looks particularly spectacular.
But what attracted the attention of everyone on the cruise ship even more was the fact that not long after the ship had just slipped out of a super-large deployment bay, it was slowly adjusting its axis under the control of the blue light from the attitude nozzle that was flashing all over the ship. A giant ship of direction and speed.
‘Project 12’ The second super heavy battleship - ‘Dawn’.
Compared with the first ship "Infinity", the hull is once again elongated, making the length of this giant beast almost six kilometers. The huge and majestic hull looks particularly majestic in space.
Compared to the extra passages, entrances and exits retained by the 'Infinity' for some tests, as well as a portion of the armor plate protruding outwards to carry additional equipment, it can be regarded as the second ship put into mass production' Dawn's appearance looks much cleaner.
Baron BASF stood on the bridge, staring at the "Dawn" through the 'dome'.
Although his expression had returned to calm, he was still a little excited inside, and he was full of awe and wonder at this giant ship. After all, through some information channels before, he had already known about the extremely strong combat power of this battleship's sister ship 'Infinity' in actual combat. At the same time, he also knew that the Star Dragon Empire would not be able to produce enough to carry out the battle in a short time. Competing benchmark warship
And now, as one of the first batch of 'outsiders', he has personally witnessed its 'sister ship' at close range.
“It’s unbelievable.” Baron BASF couldn’t help but sigh, “‘This is not just a battleship, but more like a work of art.”
But just when he When I was about to comment again, the correspondent's voice came over: "Sir, the Asteroid Fortress External Orbit Control Center sent a message saying that we can start entering the port!"
BASF heard the news The Baron nodded, and after one last reluctant look at the 'Dawn' which was slowly leaving the fortress, he said in a deep voice:
"Since the master has spoken, let's not waste time. Adjutant, Notify all ships and prepare to follow the other party’s instructions to enter the fortress and berth.”
"Yes, sir!"
The crew members on the bridge quickly concentrated and then focused on their own work. However, this would be really stressful. In fact, it only needs to be controlled in orbit. He is just the helmsman who steers the ship under the guidance of the center.
As BASF’s favorite and most frequently used armed cruise ship, the helmsman on the ‘Szczerbiech’ is naturally an experienced veteran of the Royal Navy. Although it is his first time to come to A· Bawa Ku Asteroid Fortress, but there was no panic at all.
Soon, after all the weapon units were taken offline, the armed cruise ship Baron BASF boarded slowly sailed into the asteroid fortress and successfully docked at the designated deployment bay mooring point.
With this separate deployment bay reserved for receiving Baron BASF, the sealing operation was completed again, and the pressure and oxygen supply in the deployment bay also began to return to a level suitable for human survival.
Amber, who was a little embarrassed, also gave extremely high standards of reception to this 'Princess Envoy' who had been let down many times.
In the human navy or fleet, only under this level of etiquette will a ceremony to welcome the opponent off the ship be held at the deployment bay or port.
Because to hold such a ceremony, the deployment bay must be temporarily closed, which also means that the deployment bay cannot carry out any entry and exit operations in a short period of time, and becomes a purely 'social place'.
After a company of Roma marines lined up in two columns to 'welcome', Baron BASF, who had specially changed into an exquisite dress, also rolled out the red carpet with his entourage. Go down the gangway and get off the ship.
And he also caught a glimpse of the familiar figure in the center of the Atlas reception team. Although he had only seen him once before, the actual controller of the Atlas Group with legendary experience was still there. Baron BASF was impressed.
"Welcome, Baron BASF, I'm glad you were invited to be here."
Amber took the initiative to come forward, shook hands and exchanged greetings, with the classic 'business smile' he had slowly developed on his face.
"Thank you very much for your invitation, Mr. Amber. I never expected to be invited to this core area of Atlas."
"After all, I have missed appointments many times before, so I think we may need to let you feel our sincerity~"
"Don't worry, Mr. Amber, I have fully felt it~"
