Each giant ship of this class is 2.5 kilometers long and nearly a kilometer wide, which is dozens of times larger than a conventional dreadnought! It resembles an elongated rugby ball and looks very chunky. Even with a few dreadnoughts docked next to it, it looks harmless like a small tugboat next to a warship.

Due to their huge size and impressive theoretical number of shots, these "Reaper Killers" were arranged in several nearby warship clusters. The Haidar-class super battleship is equipped with three particle beam main guns on the front, and hundreds of secondary guns are equipped with more than the main guns of small warships throughout the hull.

Each of the Haidar-class super-battleships is an engineering marvel, not only for their sheer size, but also for their extremely high core energy level. Using Starlink's recent antimatter power core and the latest Element Zero compression technology, the output energy level of the battleship is close to 10 times that of a conventional dreadnought!

Combined with the Touareg's latest matrix-type shield enhancement system and the super-large particle beam cannon jointly developed by several races, the Heimdall-class superbattleship's final product is much more powerful than the original design specifications.

At the outset, the goal of the cutting-edge engineers of all races was simply to build a supership that could go head-to-head with the Overlord-class Reapers. But in the end, the finished product of this class of warships far exceeded this standard!

The current Haidar-class super battleships have more than 3 times the firepower and shield strength of the Overlord during the Battle of the Fortress! If you cooperate with the fleet, the Haidar-class battleships may even be able to deal with 5 Overlord-class Reapers!

Shen Chao's Budapest uses a similar shield enhancement technique. On the basis of this, it was deeply excavated, and the upper limit of the energy output that exceeded the core power of its own warship was taken as a prerequisite, and the shield of the Budapest was strengthened to the point where it is today.

Looking at the spectacular scene on the hologram, Vincent and many of the people who had been to this plane for the first time were shocked. Although they had seen the relevant information before they came, the information was only information after all, and it was far less shocking than the current reality.

As they continued to approach the Citadel, a huge structure under construction behind the Citadel Circle came into view, which was the second reason why the Citadel Combined Fleet was here, as they were guarding the construction of a major project.

Looking at the silhouette of this huge object, anyone who has played a game in the Mass Effect series will recognize what it is. No doubt. Currently being built there is a massive galaxy-destroying weapon known as the "Optimus Furnace".

A few months ago. Before Shen Chao left the Mass Effect plane, he had already walked out of the network of shadow agents of the Optimus Furnace Project, and with the joint efforts of various clan experts, they quickly found the relevant drawings in the Martian Archive.

Although until now. No one is sure what the purpose of the huge equipment shown in the drawings is. And what exactly is its lethal principle for the Reaper. But in the face of an enemy with overwhelming power like the Reaper. The rogue states of the Divine Citadel still decided to build this equipment of unknown origin first.

How to use it can be studied slowly later, but first there must be the option of using this "super weapon"! The Optimus Furnace, which is now being assembled at the rear of the Citadel and ready to be connected to the Citadel's control system, is only the first of the three units under construction. Two more are under construction in other star sectors as a backup just in case.

After approaching the outer ring of defense. The Budapest and Normandy identified themselves to the patrol fleet on duty and checked the identification code before being released. Their ships were similarly questioned in the inner perimeter, but they were quickly cleared after their identities were confirmed.

As a famous person who exposed the Reaper's conspiracy, Shen Chao and Sister Xue were both important figures in the preparation period, although Shen Chao began to dilute his sense of existence very early, but recently, the Citadel Council has become more and more dissatisfied with the black box status of the bunker plan, and has long informed the various defense nodes, and when they encounter Shen Chao, they will immediately escort them back to the Citadel for questioning.

With the growth of the combined fleet and the deepening of the cooperation of various races, the power of the Citadel Council has also been greatly strengthened, if the past Citadel Council was a place where various races quarreled, and the Council was a mediation body, then the current Citadel Council is really a bit like a centralized body of the Galactic Grand Alliance.

Of course, they're actually just a little bit alike. The current Citadel Council has far more control over the militarily and industrially weak races, but it is still a place of arguing for the representatives of several of the rogue states.

At this time, Mr. Udian, a member of the Human Council, was living in distress. He had just received a report from the United Fleet along with several other members of the Rogue Nation, saying that Shen Chao, who had disappeared for a few months, had finally reappeared, and it was with Sister Xue!

For most people, this may be good news, because it may mean that Shen Chao's bunker plan has finally been found out by them, and this is with Sister Xue to explain the details of the plan! They are still very confident in Sister Xue's ability. But for Mr. Oudian, the news has a much more negative significance.

As a human councilor who has accepted all kinds of hidden bribes for a long time, he has a lot of handles in his hands that Shen Chao has to grasp, and his position has a lot to do with Shen Chao's intervention. He knew what kind of questioning pressure Shen Chao would receive once he came to the council this time.

And once that happens, Shen Chao and the Divine Citadel Council may collapse, in that case, Shen Chao is very likely to shake out all his black materials, if so, it will be difficult for him, Mr. Honorable Councilor, to step down......

Just as he was distressed and preparing to leave for the meeting, a communication message box appeared on the terminal of his desk, signed by Shen Chao! Seeing the name, Udian hesitated for a moment but picked up the communication request.

He was mentally prepared for such a scenario, because Shen Chao had specifically approached him to talk about this matter before he disappeared last time, and Shen Chao said at that time that if he faced too much pressure from the Divine Citadel Council one day, he would directly make a deal with him, as long as Udian did a "small thing" according to his request, the account between them would be written off.

Now, Udian knew that this was the time for Shen Chao to say, although he wanted to escape, but in the end he decided to listen to what Shen Chao said about this "little thing" would be, and what kind of price he would pay!

10 minutes later, at Port 024 in the Circle District, Shen Chao walked out of the Budapest with a few heavily armed team members, and after seeing Sister Xue nearby, they left their respective entourages and rushed to the Divine Citadel Tower together, ready to be questioned by the Citadel Council.

They had been informed by the harbor tower before they entered the port, and the Council of the Divine Citadel had asked them to rush to the port as soon as they got off the ship for questioning. On the way, Shen Chao had a relaxed expression, while Sister Xue next to him didn't look good.

She still had some expectations for the Citadel Council, but as she disembarked and saw that there were "escorts" everywhere nearby, who were actually escorting them to the meeting, she also knew that the negotiations were likely to fall apart.

"Don't be so bitter, Shepard, you know that these things are bound to happen......" Shen Chao saw Sister Xue's face and persuaded him, he had already arranged a qiē with Councilor Udian, and the content of the meeting was not a secret to him.

Hearing his consolation, Sister Xue's face did not get better, but it didn't develop in a worse direction anymore! They made their way through a dedicated passage cleared by security personnel to the Citadel Tower without hindrance.

Outside the council hall, they didn't stay long before being summoned and ushered into the hall by the staff. It's not much different from the last time they arrived, and although it has been renovated after the Battle of the Citadel, the main structure of the hall has not changed significantly.

However, there were many more seats on both sides of the hall than before, and representatives of many small races and diplomats would attend these seats to observe the council's decisions on some important events.

This can be regarded as a compromise made by the council, although the rogue states have an overwhelming military advantage over the minor races, but in the context of the Reaper attack, they still need the full support of the small races, and in return, they need to involve these representatives indirectly in the decision-making to enter the heavy dà event.

On the high platform in the distance, the four councillors representing the four rogue states of the Divine Citadel Council stood in front of their respective platforms, waiting for Shen Chao to approach. Standing on the high platform where they are and looking down on the people who come to be questioned, it is easy to have a psychological sense of looking down on the people who come to meet them, especially for the current parliamentarians.

The galactic readiness has significantly strengthened the ties between the various races, and as a practical need to integrate military resources, each race has given its representatives on the Citadel Council more decision-making power, and the parliamentary representatives of the four council races have received even greater authority due to the sensitivity of their work.

Now these parliamentarians are no longer just mouthpieces for their respective ethnic leaders and mascots for diplomatic delegations, but have become figures at the level of deputy heads of state of their respective ethnic governments, all of whom are in a position of power.

"Long time no see, Major! Councillor Salari gave this meaningful greeting on behalf of several other councillors, and with his greeting as a sign that the Citadel Council began its agenda for today's meeting. (To be continued......)
