More than 10 AU from the flagship of the Nether Fleet's Second Legion.
A massive fleet of a full 100 million warships was stationed here. Not far away, several azure, vortex-like Hyperspace Windows suddenly opened, and six vessels swiftly flew out, heading toward one of the warships in the fleet formation.
These six vessels were not warships, but standard-issue Federation small cargo ships, normally used to transport supplies. At this moment, however, they carried not supplies, but a large number of Federation soldiers.
Before long, the six standard small cargo ships, carrying over a thousand people in total, arrived beside a warship within the fleet formation and docked at its spaceport as instructed.
When Wang Hai descended the gangway, Deputy Officer Bai Ze was already waiting below.
"How much time is left?"
The moment he stepped off the gangway, Wang Hai asked directly, without even having time for greetings.
"Four minutes and eighteen seconds!"
"Mm. Has the Spatial Interference Device been prepared?"
"Deployment is complete!"
"Good. We must ensure a seamless connection. We absolutely cannot give the target any chance to escape!"
"Yes, Legion Commander!"
The two spoke as they walked, soon arriving before a Light Transmission array located within the spaceport.
It looked similar to a stargate, but the technology and intended applications were entirely different.
If stargates were used for long-distance travel, then Light Transmission arrays were meant for short-distance teleportation, especially within warships.
Modern warships were often dozens or even hundreds of kilometers long. Relying on traditional means of transportation to get from one end of a ship to another would be far too troublesome.
It was not that stargates could not handle short-range transmission, but within a million light-years, no matter how close the distance, transmission through a stargate always took a fixed seven minutes!
