0537 Citadel(1/3)
The Godcastle Space Station, which is the political, cultural and financial center of the galaxy society in the world of mass effect.
It has a total length of 44.7 kilometers, a diameter of 12.8 kilometers, and a total weight of 7.11 billion tons. It is the largest artificial celestial body in the entire Milky Way, no doubt about it!
At this time, the Normandy II spacecraft was on the same orbit as the Godcastle Space Station, and was flying synchronously with the Godcastle at the same speed... Because, it needs to wait until the authorization permit to enter the port of the Godcastle Sanitation Area. Otherwise, those defensive cannons are not just kidding. Any unknown ship that dares to approach without permission will not have a better ending except being bombarded and killed!
Especially after Salenchi attacked the Castle, although there didn't seem to be much change here on the surface, in private, the Castle Council has long secretly strengthened its hidden security measures, such as more patrol fleets around it can come back to reinforce at any time, or more interstellar cannons, missiles, pulse weapons, etc.
“Wow~!”
"So amazing... Is that the God Castle Space Station we are going to? It looks really big..."
o(??Д??)っ!
Speaking of which, this seems to be the first time Annie has seen a space station like this big!
Even in her Federation of Heroes and in her Kopru Star Zone, there were no artificial celestial bodies as large as this one.
That's because the development model of technology in Koplu Star Zone is completely different from the core technology in this world!
The current Federation of Heroes has mastered the core of fusion energy and convenient and fast long-distance jumping technology. Of course, there is also the space gate technology that the Astral race is good at. There is no need to imitate the intelligent life in this world. It also needs to troubleshoot fixed and large mass effect repeaters in the Milky Way to act as transmission nodes, and there is no need to run to the largest mass effect repeater to build a huge city that can live in people like the huge castle in front of you.
After all, compared to artificial space stations, in addition to military ports and other special-purpose space stations, it is necessary to be built in space. In addition to the key points of defense, the ethnic groups in the Kopru Star Region still like to directly occupy a planet and then build colonies on the surface will be more cost-effective!
Moreover, when a war begins, the planet will be more resistant to fighting than the space station, right?
"By the way, Sister Shepard!"
"Can the octopus-like space station really close and turn into a large warship?"
(???????????????)?
Lying on the window of the Normandy Bridge II combat command room, she was blinking her big eyes and staring at the large castle space station in the distance. After watching for a while, Annie hurriedly asked the captain Shepard, who was coordinating the crew's work not far away, and asked.
If she were the captain, she would have ordered to rush in long ago. How could she wait here for a long time?
"Anne..."
Turning his head to look at the little girl in the distance, a commander with short red hair had to sigh.
"If you want to play, please go to other fun places outside, or go to the second floor below, where there is a crew recreation room... Here, it is a bridge and a combat command room, not a place where you come to make trouble!"
Shepard has been a little confused since the beginning: Who brought this little guy here? She never remembered that she had ordered the little guy to enter the most critical place in this kind of ship!
Could it be...
Is it that Miranda? It was that guy who was impatient by the other party and threw the other party to his place without authorization?!
"Of course I know!"
"But……"
"Compared with the entertainment room below, where there is no fun stuff, people now think... this place is a little more fun than below!"
(????????????)??
As for this Normandy II spacecraft, she visited the fourth floor from top to bottom when Anne arrived at the castle yesterday, whether it was the captain's room, combat command center, crew cabin or engineering department, etc.
This broken spaceship is far worse than the magic battleship of the First Head of the First Times!
So, Annie didn't want to go anywhere now, just wanted to wait here to fly to the big and big sacred castle space station, and then have a good time to play all day!
“…”
"Have the port of the God Castle not sent a permit to enter the port yet?"
After being choked by the other party's words that seemed very reasonable, she couldn't speak any refutation, and she didn't want to pay attention to the little devil in the distance, so she could only shake her head and let the other party lie on the window where he continued to look outside, and then asked the other party about the port navigation on the other side.
It's just like the little girl said, they have been waiting here for a while.
"I'm sorry, sir!"
"The response message from the God Castle shows: They are still checking our information, please be patient!"
After a few seconds of operation on the blue holographic interface screen, the navigator finally turned his head regretfully and explained to Captain Shepard behind him.
Without an entry permit, they could only wait like they are now, watching other spaceships and warships enter and exit and can only stare at them.
"Keep waiting, enter the port immediately after you get permission!"
"As for orders! Sir!"
“…”
Shaking her head, Shepard knew in her heart a little why, so she had to turn her head and walk towards the little girl who was still lying on the window of Hyun.
Although her spaceship obviously has invitation letters from the Star Alliance Parliament and the God Castle, it is obvious that it will be blocked by the port for so long!
In fact, it was just because her spacecraft, Normandy II, was actually a Normandy improved model that Cerberus stole the information from Star Alliance and the God Castle to produce and reproduced. It was so similar to the original Normandy that she had been blown up before. In addition, it has not been registered yet, and it is truly a naked "black household" ship, so it is understandable to be reviewed for a long time.
If a ship like them without registration information can be directly driven into the port area of the God Fort without verification and inspection, that's what hell!
If anyone could enter casually, it would not be Shepard, who came now, but to other terrorists, who pulled a ship of antimatter warheads or ordinary fission, and the fusion warhead ran to the inside of the castle to play a suicide attack, the defense of the castle space station in the distance would be in vain, and it would be even more impossible to survive until now.
"Sister Shepard, when will we be able to go in? We have been waiting for more than twenty minutes!"
(ー`??ー)
After watching for a while, Annie was already a little impatient.
Just entering a port, it would take so much time... She almost wanted to teleport in by herself! In that case, she just had to run inside with a "whirlwind" so that she would not have to wait for the spaceship to approach the port!
"Don't ask me, I don't know either!"
Shepard stood beside the little family and looked at the huge space station he had fought for in the distance... Looking at the divine castle with arms guards in the distance, it quietly ran between the blue-light nebula of the giant snake nebula in its orbit.
The divine castle in the distance is divided into the ring area and the Vanguard area. The core divine castle council and relevant military and government departments are all in the ring, while millions of residents from all over the Milky Way live in the inner wall of the Vanguard area...
Once upon a time, this was a gathering place for the powerful and wealthy people of all ethnic groups in the entire Milky Way...
Of course, it must still be now!
However, Shepard felt that some of the guys certainly didn't know was that the castle is the most dangerous place in the entire Milky Way?
At that time, if she hadn't tried her best to stop Saren's conspiracy, those guys from all kinds of Galaxy who now thought they had a house and a status in the Godcastle Space Station would probably have become the first targets for the reapers to harvest!
"It should be very soon..."
“How fast is it soon?”
(???????)?
“…”
(????_??’)
"Did you repair this space station?"
(*????????????)?
"no!"
"Who repaired that?"
⊙(??◇??)?
"have no idea!"
Even though she said that, Shepard actually knew it.
Based on the information obtained from her investigation, it is speculated that this divine castle space station was not actually built by the technology of the Prosolate Immortal, which had been extinct in the last era as the official said... because she did not think that the technology of the Prosolate Immortal could create a repeater as big as the divine castle!
Also, the mysterious races called "care workers" inside are proof that the castle is actually created by the harvesters! The biochemical Zergs who only work step by step and maintain the castle have many similarities with the transformed objects of the harvesters or collectors she had seen before!
If there is no connection between the two, she will not believe anything she says!
According to records...
When the Asaris of this era were the first to discover the castle, they also discovered the maintenance workers and nurses in various castle areas! They seemed to be a very docile multi-legged Zerg, and their purpose seemed to be to maintain and repair the huge Prosan space station.
Records in the Tsangburg Space Station show that previous attempts to communicate and study "care workers" by multiple parliamentary races have all failed.
Therefore, in the end, they had to declare that it is illegal to interfere with or obstruct the activities of "care workers" at any time! And they just acquiesced and allow those biochemical robots like eight-legged bugs that are not under their control to carry out due diligence in maintenance and maintenance of the castle day and night.
Shepard still remembers that before she was ‘dead’, she completed a task. Then, Serarie sent her an email and told her that they found that the “careman” had a hidden switch that only started every 50,000 years?
If combined with the harvesters she investigated, which are almost 50,000 years of reincarnation...
Then it is obvious that the construction of the God Castle Space Station is definitely inseparable from the Reaper!
Also, Shepard learned from a beacon that Prosan's vi said: They had changed the settings of the caregiver in the castle before and cut off the contact with the Reaper. Now, the caregiver has no use except maintaining the castle! And this can also be consistent with the practice of Salon having to raid the castle and intending to open the repeater to put the Reaper into the Milky Way!
To sum up, as far as she knows, the Godcastle Space Station should have been made by the Reaper!
However, when she was thinking about it, she didn't want to talk to the little girl in front of her, nor did she want to talk to the politicians in the sacred castle!
If they were not dead, they would definitely not believe her.
"Is there something delicious in that sacred castle?"
(????)?
Annie didn't care what Shepard was next to her and continued to ask questions according to the questions she liked.
"Of course there is!"
To be continued...
