Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 509 - 284: Handover of Extreme Special Soldier Ge-R
A solitary transport ship was flying through the boundless universe, where the dark outer space always evoked an inexplicable sense of tranquility.
The destination of the spacecraft was a remote planet called Cold Land Star, characterized by its sparse population and cold climate, making it unsuitable for habitation.
As an interstellar transport ship, its thick shell and numerous sealed gun ports projected a fierce appearance. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Chairman, every time you personally make these trips, please take care of your health."
Beside him, an elderly butler bent over and spoke, his tone filled with concern.
Wang Ji, spirited and vigorous, leaned on the console, his eyes quietly gazing into the deep universe ahead, where countless stars twinkled.
"No worries, every time I think about Loki Heavy Industry rising up, I feel like I'm instantly twenty years younger. This clear future, still striving, really feels great."
"It is my lifelong honor to follow you," the old butler responded, seeing Wang Ji's state.
"Don't be modest, Wang Song, you are an elder in the family, and Loki Heavy Industry grew little by little under your watch. Having friends to talk with at this age is rare."
Releasing his hands from the console, Wang Ji looked at his old butler and chuckled.
"It's my honor."
"After this mission, you'll have a good rest for a while. How about arranging a month-long vacation on the multi-colored islands of Xiajia Star for you and your family? The group will cover all expenses; you just need to relax."
The old butler bowed deeply after listening, "Thank you, Chairman."
"As you should, this appearance of the Extreme Special Soldier is the key to elevate Loki Heavy Industry to a higher level, a once-in-a-century opportunity!" Thinking of the warship items aboard this transport ship, Wang Ji couldn't help feeling thrilled.
Extreme Special Soldier Ge-R, a long-range prototype from the Gemini project.
This was the competition Mecha Body prepared for Loki Heavy Industry's only prospective ace Mechanical Master—Rodrick.
The purpose of this transport was to deliver the tuned Mecha Body, giving Rodrick some time to familiarize himself with it.
"All thanks to your wise leadership, in my lifetime I can see such an excellent Mecha Body."
Wang Ji smiled, waved his hand, and pressed the intercom next to him to connect with the command center.
"How long till we reach Cold Land Star?"
"We are about to arrive, please instruct the next course of action."
"Stay in the designated area, not a single handover procedure should be missed," Wang Ji directed.
Next was the Mecha handover process, a rule Wang Ji had established from the beginning.
The transport ship leaving Meteorite Base did not enter the atmosphere; all handovers were completed in outer space. A large near-planet transport ship was sent out from Cold Land Test Field.
Once the two transport ships maintained a distance, a small transport craft from the test field came over to complete the loading and return to the ship.
After this process, the near-planet transport ship would return to Cold Land Test Field, and the original vessel would return to Meteorite Base.
Everything was for safety and secrecy.
To cut off all potential tracking of the transport ship's flight path, and to not violate any Federation laws concerning armed flyers nearing planetary surfaces.
Now that the dark gray transport ship had departed the atmosphere of Cold Land Star, it was rapidly approaching from Meteorite Base.
Wang Ji watched the familiar docking vessel through the visual display.
"Wang Song, before we left, did you send out that treasure we prepared for prototype zero? Don't delay Nuonuo's preparations; it's rare to see her take such an interest in corporate affairs."
"Chairman, it has already been sent. It went through seven procedures, and finally, the Galaxy Federation Express handled the delivery."
"I believe Miss Nuonuo will be pleased to see it. This is the first weapon specially tailored for prototype zero by Meteorite Base. Such a beautiful weapon, just as its name suggests," the elderly butler expressed his admiration, serving as Wang Ji's most loyal confidant and often leading extremely secretive or important tasks.
"Indeed, our Loki Heavy Industry can make such exquisite weapons too, truly a break from our usual style. It seems those unknown civilizations have a fine sense of aesthetics, hahaha."
Wang Ji laughed cheerfully, his eyes drifting through the window towards the distant depths.
Flame Rain Frost Blue, such a poetic name indeed, but no more fitting name could be found.
To give away such a precious thing! To think that the materials from the ruins were only enough to make just this one weapon.
He even ended up giving him away...
Ah, the girl's grown up and can't be held back.
These words passed through Wang Ji's mind only once, and he did not speak them aloud, instead, he kept a beaming smile on his face.
It was because Mu Fan, that kid, genuinely seemed not bad and had good conduct according to the investigation data.
Although he came from a lowly background, the child could endure hardships, had great perseverance, and what was even more valuable, he knew gratitude.
With him, Nuonuo would definitely not be mistreated.
To ensure the security of information, the transport ship completely blocked remote communications.
Before departing, he had even heard Nuonuo reporting the joyful moments she experienced during her military training.
She practically couldn't finish three sentences without mentioning Mu Fan!
Dear granddaughter, if your irresponsible father knew about this, his expression would certainly be priceless.
Of course, if you can't handle that brat Mu Fan, then our Loki Heavy Industry really stands to lose big time—the treasures at the bottom of our box have all been sent out.
Thinking of this, Wang Ji chuckled again.
Beside him, Wang Song, seeing his own chairman so happy, also started laughing.
"Chairman, a communication request is coming from the small transport ship."
"Connect."
...
The near-Earth transport ship hovered on the outer side of the atmosphere, in a safety exchange area divided by routine.
A small transport ship flew out from the belly of the ship; though it was named "small," it was more than enough to load three to five mecha bodies, the "small" was just a relative term.
At this moment in the command cabin of the transport ship, Rodrick was adjusting his collar.
"Grand Chief Mechanical Master, I hope you know what should and should not be said," a man in a mechanic's uniform spoke leisurely from a soft sofa, his beard stretching as he smiled.
"No need for your concern, I know what to do."
Rodrick zipped up his mechanical suit to the top, then slightly tilted his head and coldly said.
"Good to know. We're in this together now, and of course, you won't be left out of the benefits. The ace of Loki Heavy Industry is about to fall into our hands; just thinking about it sends shivers of excitement through me."
The bearded mechanic spoke with a sickly tone, his face even flushing with excitement.
"Please shut up, I'm about to connect the video."
Rodrick pressed the shipboard communication request with a cold, expressionless snort.
The bearded man raised his eyebrows, immediately shut his mouth, and smiled, indicating for him to proceed.
Connecting...
Entering identification code...
Password matched, connection successful!
"Mr. Wang Ji, it's a pleasure to see you again. Sorry to trouble you with another trip," Rodrick spoke with a natural smile on his face as he addressed the middle-aged man.
"Lord Rodrick, you've been working hard these days," Wang Ji nodded and then cheerfully said, "The Extreme Special Soldier Ge-R has been transported over; let's complete the handover procedures. The docking bay is open; it looks like you'll have to work hard for a bit longer."
"Of course, I'll prepare the handover procedures now. See you shortly."
"Yes, see you shortly."
The video was cut off, and the smile in Rodrick's eyes quickly faded as he stared at the dark screen and fell silent for a moment.
His head did not turn, but his tone was icy and rigid, with a hint of deep disdain:
"The plan can begin now."
