In the cold, empty universe, signal lights and lighting devices outlined the silhouette of a massive fleet.

A small fleet slowly crept closer in the darkness.

As the distance between the two continued to shrink, a colossal object emerged from the darkness, revealing its complete form to the small fleet.

The next moment, this colossal beast opened its magnificent, abyssal maw—the Titan Mothership opened the giant port gate in its abdomen.

An old starship, bearing the marks of gunfire, slowly departed from the small fleet and, under Zero's control, gently and steadily entered the gleaming Titan Mothership.

At that moment, a hundred million kilometers away, a brilliant and bright light appeared, like a ball of fireworks celebrating this historic event.

The firelight shone clearly through the portholes into the interior of this old starship.

But its forward movement did not stop in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye, the old starship disappeared into the belly of the Titan Mothership.

Subsequently, the remaining starships in the small fleet scattered like a swarm of startled shrimp, swimming toward their respective targets in the surrounding area.

The moment all the starships were successfully loaded into the expedition fleet's cabins, thunderous applause erupted throughout the expedition fleet and the Kepler-452 star system, 9 light-years away.

Bai Yixuan slowly rose from his seat, a faint smile on his face.

"Everyone, let's go."

He looked around at everyone, his eyes filled with a faint sense of anticipation and excitement.

"We should go and welcome the new members of the Pan-Human Federation."

...

Aldan stood nervously by the starship's porthole, looking at the enormous starship and port outside with a complex expression.

"[Titan Mothership]..."

"That's spectacular!"

It sighed from the bottom of its heart, and a hint of self-consciousness involuntarily rose in its eyes.

Compared to the starships of human civilization, the starships of the Talodan civilization are like small boats from a primitive tribe.

Suddenly, a brilliant flash of light came from the far distance, catching its attention in its round visual organs.

"What's going on..."

Aldan's eyes revealed a hint of unease and trepidation; it knew that eleven fleets belonging to the Eugene civilization existed in that direction.

Before it could even process the information, the firelight vanished, replaced by endless darkness—the starship had entered the port of the Titan Mothership.

Aldan took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart, and once again considered the next meeting process in his mind.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the entire meeting process had been rehearsed in its mind for two days.

A giant, azure holographic image suddenly appeared in the passageway, completely dispelling the darkness within and marking the starship's direction with the simplest symbols.

This amazing scene elicited gasps of surprise from inside the Talodan flagship.

“Aerial projection imaging technology.” Milo, who was “squeezed” into the porthole glass with the help of a stabilizing device, explained softly, “We have studied this technology before.”

"It consumes a lot of energy and the imaging conditions are quite demanding."

"These are all secondary. The most important thing is that each projection device requires a lot of real-time computing power and needs to be maintained manually in real time."

"Left with no other choice, the Academy of Sciences was forced to abandon this seemingly high-end display technology."

Milo's eyes gleamed with amazement: "How did they manage to create such a large-scale aerial projection imaging?!"

It blinked its big eyes, which were slightly distorted from being squeezed, and said wistfully, "If only... I could see the detailed blueprints and principles."

Milo's words immediately garnered the approval of a group of scientists around him.

Seeing this, Aldan could only shake his head with a wry smile.

This is only the beginning, yet the scientists of the Talodan civilization have already shown signs of "rebellion."

These black and white dumplings are like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden for the first time; any detail outside the porthole can elicit their exclamations and wonder.

Amid exclamations of surprise, the Talodan flagship passed through the initial guided passage and truly entered the interior of the Titan Mothership.

[Attention, we are about to enter an artificial gravity zone.]

Current internal gravity: 9.8 m/s²

A line of smooth Talodan text appeared on the large screen in the command center.

"What?"

Milo remained pressed against the porthole, blinking his big eyes: "What the heck?"

The words had barely left its mouth when a tremendous force came from below, violently pulling its body away from the porthole.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of muffled thuds echoed within the Talodan flagship.

Along with these strange noises, Aldan, who was standing on the deck, felt his body sink and sat down on the cold deck.

Milo lay on the deck of the starship, looking completely bewildered, and blinked his big eyes a few more times.

The coolness of the deck seeped through its fine downy fur and onto its skin.

It instinctively shuddered, and its mind gradually came to its senses.

Milo's eyes widened suddenly, and intense excitement burst forth from them!

"Chief, leader!"

It struggled to its feet on the deck and reached out to help Aldan up beside it: "This, this is real artificial gravity!"

As he spoke, Milo raised his short arms and waved them lightly twice.
