Just after a few minutes of heated discussion, a new piece of news suddenly came, and they had to stop this unnutritious discussion. The message was sent from the Budapest, asking the Galactica to be ready for inspection immediately, that it had reached their defensive circle, and that it was about to be undisguised and released from the landing ship.

This news made them a little confused, because the radar department of the Galactica had not reported anything unusual during this time, and the warships of the expedition they had found before were still in their original positions, and before that, the signal from the Budapest was coming from the same direction.

This led them to mistakenly believe that the Budapest was one of the ships they had already discovered. Since these ships didn't move, they thought that Shen Chao was waiting for a reply from their side. For this reason, Adama had to open the communication channel again and ask the other party what was going on.

"My ship has reached the port side where you put it, Adama. Open the window and you'll see. Shen Chao replied after receiving the other party's question. He didn't explain the other parts, because the other party's reaction confirmed his previous suspicions. After several rounds of upgrades, the Budapest was able to evade the Caladicate's detection system!

This is good news, because according to the plot of the BSG series, their rival race, the Therons, is no better than humans in deep space. This created conditions for them to secretly contact the Theron people in the future.

At this time, the Budapest was only a little more than one hundred and fifty kilometers away from the Galactica, at this distance. Anyone with good eyesight can clearly see the outline of the hull with the naked eye. It's just that the Budapest has a number of stealth functions at this time, including optical stealth. So even the optics of the Ka ship could not see them at such a close distance.

After being reminded by Shen Chao, both the Galactica and the Pegasos adjusted their attitudes and checked the port side with the optical detection equipment outside the cabin, and just as they were doing so, they suddenly saw a white battleship suddenly appear from the void, "close" to them. And the bow of the other side is really painted with the words "Budapest".

With the removal of the optical camouflage effect, there was no need for the Budapest to hide its form. The other stealth modes were simply disabled, and a huge target suddenly appeared on the radar of the Galactica and Pegasos.

: "Radar target, confirming the appearance of an unknown battleship on the port side." It's huge. At least 8 million tons ......" as before. The radar department in Caractica gave the wrong number after discovering the Budapest.

However, this is not a big deal, after all, even if they can correctly estimate the size and mass of the Budapest in the first place, it is impossible to correctly understand its combat effectiveness without a specific reference to the power of the weapon.

At this time. Due to the sudden appearance of the Budapest. The radar departments on both battleships were already busy. Trying to find out how it suddenly appeared here, but their captains, Admiral Kane and Adama, were not as nervous as they were, and they didn't have much fear in their minds.

They were as shaken as their own crews. But they also all knew that if the other party had malicious intent, just relying on the ability to quietly approach them with this hand was enough to kill their two warships in an instant.

If the other party was really hostile to them, they wouldn't have been so close to inform them. In fact, it was not bad, at this time the Galactica and Pegasus had been locked by the secondary artillery department of the Budapest. If Shen Chao gave the order, he could pour lethal fire on them at any time.

Under the combined effect of Shen Chao's deterrence and early psychological tactics, the captains of the Galactica and the Pegasus finally temporarily put aside the doubts in their hearts and acquiesced in Shen Chao's "opinion" on boarding and inspection in the telegram.

They watched silently as the Budapest stopped at that location and sent several warplanes to meet the shuttles released by the Budapest. At the same time, all the important personnel on board the Galactica, except for those who remained in Cambridge, lined up in the large cabins of the main airport to welcome the representatives of the "Earth Federation".

It had only been a few days before most of them had hosted the welcoming ceremony for the Pegasus delegation in the same place, so the crew of the Galactica was ready to greet each other.

Of course, due to the tight schedule, most people didn't have time to change into the dress they used last time, and the president also complained that she didn't have time to touch up her makeup and change clothes. But even so, when the shuttle of the Budapest reached the outskirts of the airport, the crew of the Ka ship had already lined up a welcoming procession inside.

Exits near the airport have been completely blocked, and heavily armed Marines are on duty, as was another welcoming ceremony a few days ago, as people waited for the delegation's arrival in excitement and a little unease.

Shortly after the crews of the Ka ship finished lining up at the airport. Five Arcadia shuttles with the logo of the Space-Time Council were escorted by several Viper fighters of the Ka ship and slowly sailed into the airport in a column, and landed gently in front of the crowd that greeted them, as if one person was operating.

"Perfect fit......" Adama whispered to those around him, he had only seen such a coordinated landing style from the Theron before. Although the several shuttles were obviously not in the style of the Theron people, this coordinated landing still made the onlookers wonder in their hearts: Could this be driven by the plane?

And with the opening of the doors of four of the shuttles, this confusion reached its peak. Because a group of expedition members who were fully armed and wearing armored nanosuits came out one after another, and since everyone was wearing faceless helmets, and no one said anything after they came out, they looked like a group of planes when they first came out.

This frightened the crowd who had come to greet them, and several Marines standing at the front of the crowd immediately raised their guns and pointed their guns at them, and the expedition members who had just stepped out of the cabin applied the same courtesy, aiming the muzzles of their various high-tech weapons at the opposite side. The scene suddenly became very tense, and it seemed that a fight was about to start.

"Stop, don't fire!" Brigadier General Adama suddenly shouted at the Marines next to him at this critical moment, and motioned for them to lower their guns, and under his prestige and order, the nervous Marines finally lowered the muzzles of their weapons.

After the other party lowered the muzzle of the gun, the members of the expedition team did not immediately give the same action in return, nor did they make any comments, as if ignoring the other party's gesture of overture, some of them continued to confront the opposite crowd with their guns in their positions, and the other part took out various equipment to test the environment in the cabin.

Although I can't recognize the equipment in the other party's hand, it is obvious that the other party's movements are testing the temperature and air pressure in the cabin. So the people who stuck the ship did not block it. After about half a minute, the people in charge of the inspection finally finished their work and gave a gesture to the other team of expedition members who were confronting each other.

Only then did the team lay down their weapons. One of the team leaders of the fireteam took off his helmet to reveal a human face, much to the relief of the crowd on the other side, and then without saying a word, the team leader walked to the shuttle in the middle that had not yet opened the hatch, knocked on the hatch twice, and then stood aside.

With his knock, the hatch of the shuttle finally slowly opened, and several expedition members who were also wearing armored nanosuits rushed out, and lined up on both sides of the hatch after coming out. And Shen Chao strode out under their escort, wearing a customized military uniform.

In line with the principle of striving for perfection and acting to the end, he did not wear his usual clothes, but changed into this customized military uniform that was very similar to the regular uniform of the American admiral in the main plane. The reason why it is said to be custom-made is because this military uniform was specially prepared for this task. The other team members also have the same style of military uniforms, which can support their fictional identity as the Earth Federation army.

The materials and many details of the entire costume are customized according to the fake identity he described earlier, and if you look closely, you can even see that the decorative part of the costume has some religious symbols of the Kobo God Cult of this plane.

Of course, no matter how meticulous a costume is, it can only add points and cannot help him play the commander of the so-called first exploration fleet on Earth. After stepping off the shuttle, Shen Chao, followed by several guards, walked quickly to the crowd that came to "greet" them.

"Brigadier Adama? Shen Chao walked quickly to Adama with a straight face and asked. Although he asked knowingly, after all, the person in front of him looked the same as in the BSG plot, but Shen Chao still performed the feeling of seeing each other for the first time.

"Yes, you must be Commander Shen......" said and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Shen Chao.

"I have a request, Commander. Can you get your people to take off their helmets? We've met Theron agents in human form before......" Adama made the request in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant. This requires a lot of courage, because as long as the people on the scene are not blind, they can see that there is a huge generation difference between the two sides at least in terms of individual weapons and equipment.

Although the Ka ship has the jump engine coveted by the expedition team, the individual weapon is still at the level of the 21st century on the earth, and the various guns still use chemical power and the power is very limited in the eyes of the expedition team.

On the other hand, on the expedition team's side, not only are the weapons well-armed, and the appearance is full of science fiction, but the armor on the body is solid at a glance, and it can definitely resist the direct fire of large-caliber ammunition. It takes courage to make such a request against an opponent with overwhelming military superiority. (To be continued......)
