Chapter 259: Gifts are exchanged
"Will, we're almost on the home planet of the Serines, and we can already see their orbiting rings."
Dragging the Pulse Tail Flame, the giant mothership creatures slowly approached Selene, and the Hogu who had set off from the twilight, crossed the stars, and finally reached their destination.
Of course, the slowness here refers to the cosmic scale, at the current speed of the mothership creatures, even if the fastest aircraft on the earth doubles the speed several times, it will not be able to catch up.
Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, the mothership creatures began to change their course, which was tangent to Selene's low-Earth orbit at an out-of-tangent angle.
"Will, I have a question for you."
On the radio channel, Hogu received inquiries from his fellow gatherers.
"What's the problem"
"Why is it not a little more convenient for us to use organisms directly around organisms as progeny"
The individuals who are actually used as emissaries are not stationed in the mothership creatures, but are transformed into close defense subbodies that intercept physical shells or explosions on the battlefield, and before leaving Twilight, Hogu asks these gatherers to faithfully play the role of good progenies, and go out on patrol from time to time like other ordinary close defense subtypes.
Naturally, Hogu's order gatherers would do their best to complete it, but they couldn't understand what Hogu's purpose was in asking them like this, so they asked.
"You're so relaxed, if you're attacked in space, there's nowhere to hide, and you can use the organism as a target, just in case."
"Remember, don't let down your guard easily for those you don't know, it's okay to have good intentions, but those with malicious intentions will never give you a second chance to fight back, you know, the necessary caution can never be discarded."
"Understood."
Gradually, Huo Gu and the others saw a light in the direction of Selene, which was very dazzling, and the brightness was extremely high, and even the light of the stars in the background of the universe was obscured.
Each light source is parallel to the other light sources, they form a huge phalanx queue in Seline's orbit, so unfamiliar, but déjà vu, Huo Gu has seen this scene, Yong Xin originally let the mothership creatures form this kind of phalanx to welcome their return, but they didn't expect the Seren people to also use this kind of phalanx to welcome it.
At that time, Forever let the mothership creatures greet them with a phalanx, and Huo Gu still felt that something was wrong, but then the Serens didn't say anything, and Huo Gu didn't take it too seriously, but now this is the case
Could it be that the phalanx is actually a way for the Serens to show etiquette or some kind of tacit custom of their civilization, so there is no record of this, Huo Gu thought suspiciously, and began to look at this phalanx with the mentality of tourists enjoying the beautiful scenery.
However, the actual situation is that after the last time the Cerines showed the phalanx queue, they put a lot of pressure on the Imperial generals, who thought that the other side was showing off their strength to the Empire, so they planned to set up a phalanx when they greeted the envoys this time, or a modified change phalanx, in response to the original diplomatic provocation.
Empire: Stupid amoeba, you don't know anything about the power of the Empire, look at our formation, it's useless to follow the cat and the tiger, you are still far behind
Huogu: It turns out that the fleet phalanx can still be placed like this, after a long experience, it seems that they are still very friendly to our arrival, do you want to let Perpetual let us try this kind of phalanx next time
"This is the messenger of amoeba, and we need a map of the inbound route."
"This is Selene, for the arrival of your amoeba, the Empire warmly welcomes, please adjust the frequency band to the 3thz dedicated data receiving frequency."
The mothership creatures successfully downloaded the route plan given by the Seren, and after making some slight adjustments to the original course, they began to browse the parade again.
It's not the same as Twilight's time, the battleships on both sides are full of futuristic sci-fi feeling, which is a different experience for Huogu, who is a human being, the mothership class and battleships are neatly arranged, no worse than the mothership creatures rehearsed by Twilight, and between the battleships and battleships, there are autonomous ships arranged in a folded formation to shuttle and patrol.
After traveling millions of kilometers, he still did not sail out of this phalanx, and it was only now that Huo Gu was a little suddenly aware that the number of warships on the side of the Serens turned out to be quite a lot.
"Why are there only these three, there are other kinds before, I prefer the ones that I come every time."
"I heard the Serens in the twilight say that they are retired."
"Decommissioned"
"I just don't want to use it anymore, so I dismantle it and restore it to raw materials."
"Eh, it's a pity, can't you give it to us?"
"Will, look at that ship, it's so big."
"I've always wondered how the people of Seren are so small and don't have the strength of ours, how on earth they are so big"
"They must be monsters."
"Agreed."
The gatherers who were traveling with Hogu commented on the battleship of the Serens in shock, and did not understand the intention behind the Cerin people's phalanx, so to speak, the Cerin phalanx was flattering to the blind.
Through the phalanx, Huo Gu and they finally saw the artificial star ring up close, it was really huge, it was on the outer ring, and the area that looked like a thin line from a distance, in the eyes of Huo Gu at this time, it was like a huge wall standing across the starry sky.
There are entrances and exits of different sizes on the giant wall, in which civilian spaceships go in and out, just like a busy downtown street, if the individual unit in the city on the ground is a person, then in this star ring, the spaceship is an individual unit, and the Serens who live on it almost have a spaceship in their hands, but the difference in size is just that.
There are not only industrial docks on the Star Ring, the people working on the Star Ring are also people, they need entertainment, and after meeting the material needs, they also need to meet the spiritual needs, plus the population is full, the empire has arranged for some people to settle on the Star Ring, build the Star Ring City, open civilian posts, there are red light districts, there are food streets, and there are also mercenaries engaged in the transportation of ground goods, the transportation of an important person or valuable goods, the nobles' private rail couriers, and so on.
As it turned out, conversion from military to civilian was always a good way to make money, and the Seren Empire at that time not only temporarily solved the population problem, but also created an additional wealth and alleviated the fiscal deficit.
Anchored in the harbor, Hogu and the others reverted back to the form of gatherers, emerging from the mothership creatures, and not long after they came down, a group of Serens appeared in the middle of the road to welcome them.
"I'm the person in charge of the DZ0039 port area here, Molu Ke Luosheng, welcome, amoeba's messenger."
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Molu Raksheng, I'm called Tan."
