Chapter 478: Chapter 253: Acquiring Three Main Guns - Making Dreams Come True with Dimension Life Form

Zog had already entered another container, where the main cannon stored was named--

[Eternal Frozen Soil--Special Type: The Rampant Cold Winds, Bestowing Eternal Freeze.

Control Conditions: Five million metal energy

Control Effect: Double Frost

Control Ability--Bombardment: Materialization of cannon fire, targeting a specific location (Note: pre-charging required)]]

This cannon placed more emphasis on continuous firing, with its data indicating not only can it fire twice in succession but also has a cool-down and charging interval of less than ten minutes.

Both main cannons were cross-checked by the Chief Inspector to ensure they had no issues before feedback on the other items gradually fell into place.

Overall, there were less than 1% defective items, but this was within the margin of error.

"Gentlemen, are you ready to sign now?" Li Yang approached.

Hector nodded, just as he was about to speak, he heard Zog let out a light "huh."

"Hm? Why hasn’t that transport ship opened its cargo door?"

Hector’s gaze subconsciously shifted in that direction, towards a transport ship at the very back, its cargo door tightly shut. Several people from the R&D department tried to approach, but were sternly turned away by the guarding soldiers with frowned brows.

Li Yang’s expression changed slightly, he whispered, "The contents inside are not within the responsibility of the R&D department, you don’t need to worry about it."

"Don’t need to worry?" Zog looked down at the transportation checklist, then scoffed coldly, "You asked us to sign for five transport ships, but now we’ve only examined four."

Li Yang’s expression turned sour, he shook his head, "Isn’t it fine as long as the items are complete, what does it matter to you whether it’s five ships or four?"

"No no..." Zog shook his head, "Since it’s our R&D department signing, we need to inspect every single item. Otherwise, if there’s a problem, is it your responsibility or mine?"

The Torch Organization was not large, but not small either. Just this main base was divided into dozens of departments, and the total number of employees in various roles was nearly one hundred thousand.

As logistics personnel, they didn’t have the venomous hatred and anger toward remnants of different civilizations and the Yitelan Civilization, and there was often infighting and intrigue between them.

In fact, many talented individuals were lured in by deception by the Torch Organization, especially within various laboratories, where the proportion of such individuals was the highest, given how difficult it was to cultivate such talent.

Mostly through the guise of shell laboratories, they would release recruitment notices offering high salaries to attract some naive graduates from the top institutions of various civilizations.

Some individuals might even be placed in some laboratory for months, or even up to half a year, before being brought to the main base under the pretense of an external assignment.

There were also instances of Fire Seed reflows, where the factions were clearly divided.

Li Yang looked troubled, glanced around, and lowered his voice deliberately, "Let me tell you this, the items being transported are also requested by the high-ups, and there won’t be any issues."

"You’re not allowed to see simply because your clearance isn’t high enough."

"High-ups’ orders?" Li Ming, hidden in the shadows, listened intently and became somewhat more interested.

Without mentioning this, Zog’s expression might have remained unchanged, but upon hearing it, his demeanor turned cold and he said sternly, "You say it’s high-ups’ orders, but is it really?"

"What if it’s something you’re transporting privately? What if due to these items the base’s coordinates get leaked?" Zog rebuked.

His commotion wasn’t small, and workers from the transport ships, as well as people from the R&D department, all turned to look. Li Yang’s face could hardly maintain composure as he said in a heavy voice:

"I’m doing this for your own good. Fine, if you really want to see, then go see!"

Then he shouted towards the back, "Clear out, make way for the two Chief Inspectors!"

Seeing such a big reaction from the other side, Zog hesitated.

But with so many eyes on him, he couldn’t back down and could only stiffen his resolve and walk toward the ship.

"Zog!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind, and a path was cleared through the crowd from the R&D department.

"Minister?" Zog turned to look, his expression slightly surprised.

"That’s enough, I’ll sign." Pier didn’t say much, just took the checklist from Li Yang’s hand, quickly signed his name, then threw it back to him, saying in a deep voice:

"Get lost. Next time your transport department takes on such secret missions, give me a heads-up first!"

Li Yang nodded repeatedly.

After dispersing the others, Pier called Zog aside to a quiet place, "You’re really bold, do you realize if you actually went up there to look, you’d be dead."

Zog felt a chill in his heart, breaking out in a cold sweat, and cautiously asked, "Is it really something important?"

"The item itself is secondary; what’s key is the person who gave the order." Pier shook his head, but did not elaborate further.

Zog, although curious, valued his own life more and repeatedly thanked Pier.

However, Li Ming’s interest, from a hidden perspective, was even greater.

"What exactly is it? There aren’t many high-ups in Torch..."

Pier waved his hand, "Forget it, let’s get those two main cannons into the warehouse first."

Zog hurriedly left, quickly arriving at the large warehouse where the newly transported items were being methodically stored.

Just inside the warehouse gate, Zog paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and muttered, "Right, there seemed to be a small issue with the last Astarte Electric Cannon, I should check on it again."

Hum--

The transport crane was carefully placing the containers holding the main cannons one by one, and the very first main cannon that arrived twenty days earlier was right at the edge.

Hector was watching, and Zog quickly stepped forward, "I just remembered, it seems there was a minor flaw with the Astarte Electric Cannon."

Hearing this, Hector’s expression tightened, "You can’t be serious; we checked it last time, didn’t we."

Zog helplessly said, "I don’t know if I’m overthinking or if it’s just mental exhaustion from this time, but now that I’m here, let’s open it to check again for peace of mind."
