Chapter 1457: Chapter 481: Abnormal Object Left Behind After the Fall (6k)_2

"Hmm...

It’s just that this war needs to be kept secret, it can’t be advertised...

And it can’t be used as a reason for any rewards..."

After all, public rewards must appear reasonable on the surface.

Under the premise of not being able to disclose the reason, it is best to offer pure reputation and influence as rewards, appearing to hold little value to outsiders, but extremely valuable for Fan Mao.

The Emperor began to ponder, and his sister, who had roughly understood the situation, proposed again:

"Why not consider military positions?

There are quite a few nominal positions in the army, which can provide enough prestige and influence, yet appear as worthless add-ons to outsiders.

It would also be an opportunity to draw closer to Fan Mao and further bind him with the Gemini Civilization!

This reason can also be justified externally!"

Although the Emperor was unaware that this was precisely what Bai Yi wanted, the more the Emperor considered it from his perspective, the more feasible it seemed.

"However, the specific positions still need to be discussed, and the reward is not urgent but to be given once this civilization is completely in our grasp.

We can leave it to the subordinates to discuss and come up with a result.

The information brought back by the fleet from that civilization contains a lot of crucial knowledge."

......

Meanwhile, on the other side after the communication was cut off

After disconnecting from the Emperor, Bai Yi left the control room and returned to the secluded back area of the warship, free from supervision.

Once out of the Gemini Civilization’s sight within the warship, Bai Yi’s previously faint smile could no longer be contained, and the corners of his mouth quickly lifted from a low angle.

Instead of returning directly to the small room where memories were extracted earlier, Bai Yi changed direction, heading toward the rear of the warship, arriving at a large factory-like space.

In the spacious cabin, there was a metal creation resembling a circular ring situated at the center.

The gigantic ring structure was five meters thick and, supported by a base of the same metal, nearly touched the ceiling of the cabin.

Without needing a reminder from the network, Bai Yi recognized from memory the Star Gate researched primarily by Wade and Knight.

At this time, several witches were conducting final adjustments at the edge of the base, and upon seeing Bai Yi, they quickly greeted:

"Your Highness, the Space Gate is ready and can be activated at any time."

"Alright, you don’t need to mind me, just follow your procedure.

Go ahead and activate it, bring our Lunning back from deep behind enemy lines."

The original design intention of this Star Gate was for use among the stars.

After all, it wouldn’t be appropriate to openly display the Portal Giant Tree, but this technology can be reasonably put to use.

Thanks to Saien, with their notoriously sieve-like political structure, it’s a well-known unwritten rule that a lot of Saien’s official active technology and creations appear in the black market in the starry sky.

Seeing Saien technology anywhere would hardly make anyone feel surprised.

Moreover, this technology did indeed have connections to Saien.

During transactions of ordinary materials with Saien, after getting familiar with the channel with Shang Ji, some "obsolete" products were acquired.

The final technology was supplemented to complete this creation.

As long as it’s used continuously to collect sufficient data, it will soon be fully perfected and officially put on display.

Currently, Bai Yi has to personally ride the warship for every public operation, and those days are finally nearing an end!

With her permission, the actions among the witches adjusting the Star Gate accelerated, leading to changes.

Surging magic power continuously flowed to the base of the circular ring, converting along the ring-shaped structure into a familiar power for Bai Yi.

From the edge, the space seemed to fall into an unstable state, gradually constructing a stable area inward, tearing open a doorway to another space.

And on the opposite side of the door, Lunning had long been waiting with the witch behind enemy lines on this mission.

Seeing the door open, they couldn’t wait to step through, their faces beaming with joy.

"Your Highness, we have successfully completed the mission, and all the information we gained is here.

Additionally, these are the important tangible objects we collected. However, as per your instructions to avoid being too obvious and detected by the subsequent fleets of the Gemini Civilization,

we only took items from the Divine Kingdom, and they’re all here."

Lunning shared the already organized and compressed data in the network, then pointed to a Cat Witch within the team.

Compared to additional carrying requirements and limitations on storage space due to their size, for outings, Cat Witches are more suitable as "Storage Equipment."

Although, in Bai Yi’s occasional understanding of the network, it seems these Cat Witches often play other roles as "equipment," repurposing themselves for other uses...

Noticing Bai Yi’s gaze, the Cat Witch shivered, pausing her waist-stretching movements and hurriedly stood up straight.

Though being a living Storage Equipment, it wasn’t necessary for the Cat Witch to actively offer her Storage Space.

Dividing into several threads to handle Lunning’s data package, Bai Yi skillfully communicated with the Soul Armor to connect using her Space Ability to the Cat Witch’s Space superpower.

This was an old function Bai Yi had set up with her species, originally intended to construct a storage network based on the Portal Giant Tree, but now directly connecting to the Cat Witch’s Storage Space was one of its applications.
