Chapter 524 BASF Enters the ‘Grand View Garden’
"Warmly welcome Baron BASF to visit A. Bawa Ku Asteroid Fortress for exchange and guidance!"
When Baron BASF saw the huge welcome message projected outside the Asteroid Fortress, he was slightly shocked by this welcome method full of 'Atlas characteristics'.
However, after coming back to his senses, he still acted like he was well-informed, and calmly said to the other entourage around him:
"Let visitors feel the passion of the owner right away. Well, this is called professionalism, so learn from it~"
"Yes! Lord Baron!"
Baron Basf, the 'Princess's Envoy', arrived at the A. Bawa Ku Fortress nearly three days later than the first fleet led by Cliffs.
Therefore, 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 First Fleet that had just completed the supply and personnel status inspection.
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 and combat fleet at such a close distance. people.
After all, the last group of people who came to this distance for a 'closer observation' were the combined fleets of the military-industrial complex.
However, what greeted them at that time was not a giant projection of a welcome speech, nor flowers and music, but a fortress cannon and a satellite missile swarm.
Baron BASF also showed a keen interest in everything here. He rushed to the front of the bridge very excitedly, almost pressing his face to the cold dome-type observation window - the bridge was more focused on fighting with battleships. The protective design ideas are different. "Luxury products" such as private cruise ships put passenger comfort and experience first, so the bridge of the cruise ship is usually placed on the upper deck in a "half-buried" style.
This is especially true for Baron BASF's 'Szczerbiech'. 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-luminous deep-sea fish, sailing out of the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress one after another.
These ships were arranged neatly and sailed slowly according to their respective fleet formations. The long blue tails of the main propulsion arrays seemed 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 mooring points, ships It is particularly spectacular as it shuttles with traffic boats.
But what attracted the attention of everyone on the cruise ship even more was the giant ship that had just slipped out of a super-large deployment bay and was slowly adjusting its axis and speed under the control of the blue light from the attitude nozzles that flashed all over the ship. .
‘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.
And compared to the extra passages, entrances and exits retained by the 'Infinity' for some tests, and a part of the armor plate protruding outwards to carry additional equipment, this is the appearance of the second ship 'Dawn' that was put into mass production. It will be much cleaner when you get up.
Baron BASF stood on the bridge and stared at the "Dawn" through the 'dome'.
Although his expression had returned to calmness, 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 "outside personnel", he has 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 was about to comment again, the correspondent's voice came over: "Sir, a message came from the Asteroid Fortress External Orbit Control Center saying that we can start entering the port!"
After hearing the news, Baron Basf nodded, and finally took a reluctant look at the Dawn that was slowly moving away from the fortress, and then said in a deep voice:
"Since the master has spoken, let's not waste time. Adjutant, notify the whole ship 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 work. However, the only ones who were really nervous were the helmsmen who needed to steer the ship under the guidance of the orbital control center.
As BASF's favorite and most frequently used armed cruise ship, the helmsman on the 'Szczerbechi' is naturally an experienced Royal Navy veteran, although it is his first time to come to the A. Bava Ku asteroid. Fortress, but there was no panic at all.
Soon, after all the weapon units were offline, the armed cruise ship that Baron BASF was on slowly entered the asteroid fortress and docked smoothly at the designated deployment bay mooring point.
As the deployment bay that was reserved for Baron BASF was re-sealed, the pressure and oxygen supply in the deployment bay began to recover to a level that could support human survival.
For this "Princess Envoy" who had been stood up many times, Amber, who was a little embarrassed, also gave a very high reception standard.
In the human navy or fleet, only under this level of etiquette will a ceremony to welcome the other party to disembark be held in the deployment bay or port.
Because such a ceremony must be temporarily closed, this also means that the deployment bay cannot carry out any port entry and exit operations in a short time, and has become a pure "social place".
After a company of Roma Marines lined up in two columns to "welcome", Baron BASF, who specially changed into an exquisite dress, also walked down the ship with his entourage along the gangway covered with a red carpet.
He also saw the familiar figure in the center of the Atlas reception team. Although he had only seen him once before, the legendary Atlas Group's actual controller still left a deep impression on Baron BASF.
"Welcome, Baron BASF, I'm glad you've been invited here."
Amber took the initiative to come forward and shake hands, with the classic "business smile" he had slowly practiced on his face.
"Thank you very much for your invitation, Mr. Amber. I never thought I would be invited to the core area of Atlas."
"After all, I have missed appointments many times before, so I think I may need to let you feel our sincerity~"
"Don't worry, Mr. Amber, I have fully felt it~"
