The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4996

4996 Grand Convergence VII

Bridgehead One remained in a state of heightened excitement for several days after the dramatic arrival of the Destroyer of Worlds.

God pilots possessed an outsized influence in human society.

Each of them possessed so much personal might that it was inevitable for them to become famous to the point where their names and titles became known by over half of every human living in the old galaxy and the new frontier!

God pilots attracted the envy of many people. Mech pilots especially aspired to attain their level of strength and use it to forge their own legends. This was the Age of Mechs!

Despite the fact that warships continued to serve as humanity's principal tools of war, the spotlight shone so much on mechs that most people would rather become a mech pilot than a captain of their own starship!

The lucky visitors, residents and workers in Bridgehead One continued to revel in the honor of witnessing the arrival of Divine Irene Mox in person.

This was a memory that they would definity cherish for the rest of their lives!

"I couldn't even think straight when she finally displayed her might!"

"Now that the most destructive god pilot has entered this dwarf galaxy, those native aliens are about to learn that their temporary resistance is futile in the face of absolute firepower!"

"I really wanted to see the Ragnar?k fire a shot. I heard that this god mech only assumes its full form when it is ready to launch its planet-destroying shells."

"What is that giant flaming cat?"

"Oh, that? There are rumors that Divine Mox has a soft spot for cats. With her absolute domain field, it is trivial for her to channel her supreme power and shape it in the form of a cat. God pilots can do way more than that. The Beast King once utilized his God Kingdom to create a life-like illusion of a small planet filled with animals!"

As Bridgehead One struggled to regain its sense of normality, traffic soon began to pick up again.

A lot of pioneering fleets and logistical companies suffered varying degrees of economic penalties due to the delays imposed by the Destroyer of Worlds, but each of them chose to swallow the added costs without issuing a word of complaint.

Some people were just more special than others. God pilots may not have chosen to reign over humanity like the kings and emperors of old, but they were still able to command the loyalty and obedience of every human they came across!

Haifa day after the momentous arrival of Divine Irene Mox, the greater beyonder gate went into service once again.

Each time the gate activated, it disgorged dozens to hundreds of starships at a time.

The vast majority of these starships consisted of capital ships!

Those belonging to varying pioneers tended to come in all shapes and sizes. Many of them had been optimized for combat, exploration or colonization, so they needed to be defensible and flexible enough to withstand the rigors of the frontier.

There was also a completely different set of starships that had been constructed with a completely different set of design principles!

They looked like gigantic cylinders of metal. Each of these elongated cigar-shaped starships were clearly designed to push against the dimensional limits imposed by the Gate Consortium!

This category of ships had only emerged relatively recently.

They could only be found in the two known star systems to host a greater beyonder gate.

There was no cheaper and more efficient way to transfer cargo from one galaxy to another than with the use of these newly emerged gate conveyors!

Compared to more traditional mass conveyors, the gate conveyors were less massive and more fragile because they were not required to travel through any dangerous regions of human space.

In fact, since their main purpose was to pass through the greater beyonder gates all of the time, their owners hadn't even bothered to equip them with FTL drives!

·?θm At this time, the greater beyonder gate transmitted a fleet of gate conveyors.

Each of them possessed a uniform appearance. The 12 kilometer-long gate conveyors were all coated with the forest green colors that were characteristic of the Rigel-Ovis Trading Company.

No average company was able to make this intergalactic trade route profitable.

The centuries-old Rigel-Ovis Trading Company happened to possess the right amount of financial resources to commission an entirely new fleet of gate conveyors and have them delivered within a matter of years!

What was even more important was that Rigel-Ovis had also established its brand among the first-rate states of the Milky Way Galaxy for a long time.

Though the company conscientiously did not conduct any direct business transactions with the Terrans or the Rubarthans, the trading ships of the Rigel-Ovis were ubiquitous throughout the territories of the regular first-rate states of the galactic center!

The company utilized its vast network of existing contacts and business partners to immediately put the new gate conveyors to good use.

Vast amounts of trade goods constantly entered their cavernous cargo holds before being transported from one galaxy to another.

Even if most of the trade goods consisted of bulk materials and massive production equipment, these goods were vitally needed to rapidly build up colonies and accelerate their industrial development!

Rigel-Ovis therefore served as one of the important contributors to the rapidly increasing propensity of human colonies in the Red Ocean.

Shortly after they completed their momentous transit to the new frontier, the gate conveyors obeyed the instructions of traffic control and flew to a zone that was especially reserved for massive transport vessels.

A small fleet of destroyers and cruiers hailing from the MTA and the CFA quickly descended on them and activated their powerful scanning equipment.

The gate conveyors had already undergone extremely thorough inspections in the Maryun Ultima System, but the controllers of the greater beyonder gates never slacked off when it came to searching for fugitives, contraband and other illicit material!

The old galaxy was filled with dangers that the Big Two did not want to spread to the new frontier. Even if the expenses were considerable, the inspectors employed by the MTA and CFA performed their duties without any hint of taking it easy.

The warships even sent entire armies of specially-trained and well-equipped inspectors just so that they could observe the trade goods with their own eyes!

At this time, one of many pairs of inspectors flew into a titanic cargo hold and stopped in front of a floating container.

The female inspector transmitted a code that caused the container to open and reveal its contents.

The container carefully stored dozens of ornamental stone statues made out of a particularly hardy material.
