Inside the Imperial Fortress, the Optical Brain's flickering sped up another notch.
[800c?] [According to my scans, that object should be a large starship, not the G-type yellow dwarf you described.] [Enroget Civilization, I hope you can explain this.]
The orange-yellow light dimmed again.
Lü Yongchang's response was simple.
[Please wait a little longer.]

Especially when he "saw" the fortress's smooth surface slowly split open to reveal an absurdly huge
