Chapter 276 Resource Allocation
When many people discuss the four gods of chaos, it is very easy to ignore a problem-the existence of the reality barrier.There is no way for the Chaos Four Gods to cross the barrier and directly interfere with reality.

As a reincarnation, Fu Qinghai can easily draw this conclusion, but for the natives of the human empire, it was not until 243.M32 that the demon judge Damacoso first proposed that "the god of chaos must use intelligent life to use power in the present world," the study concludes.

Even in the subspace, the four gods of chaos are not omnipotent.They are indeed the strongest four, but there are still a large number of subspace creatures and undivided demons that do not belong to the four gods in the subspace, as well as other gods: the gods of the spirit race, the second brother Mao Mao, the legendary No. Five evil gods.

Fu Qinghai sat upright in the captain's room.

Patiently flipping through the Forgeworld's colony journal.

He guessed that the probability of birthing psykers through a planet might be able to roughly judge the strength of the reality barrier in the area where the planet is located—just a rough idea.

The birth of psykers needs to be counted by a specialized agency. In addition, there may be another method-to check the history of this planet: Are there any traditional customs of feudal superstition, are there any myths and legends of ghosts and monsters, and are there frequent saints? Phenomena such as apparitions, if all of the above situations exist, it means that the barrier of reality in this place is relatively weak.

The "Whispering Mountains" where the Shadow Moon Wolf encountered demon possession for the first time, and the "Song City" where the Istfan III planetary battle took place are all very famous places in the original novel, where the barrier of reality is relatively weak.

After the big rift opened in the 41K period, such places near the dark side of the empire can be seen everywhere.

Through the colonization log, Fu Qinghai learned that: Phaeton Forge World is a Mechanicus advance base with a short history, and there are very few local historical records. What attracts the exploration fleet is the huge and complex ancient labyrinth underground.

Ancient Labyrinth...

Fu Qinghai pondered.

Go back and talk to Master Buck, what exactly did he find in the underground labyrinth.

……

After investigation and verification, the Phaeton galaxy has a rich meteorite ring belt, lingering around the periphery of the entire galaxy, the long and tortuous ring belt is like an endless road, leading to the dark void outside the galaxy.

Fu Qinghai named it: Rust Ring Belt.

The Ishimura sailed silently in the rust ring.

Fu Qinghai led the technical priests, including Master Buck, to drive the Ishimura to carry out the first mining operation in the Warhammer 40K universe, demonstrating this technology for them on the spot.

The process of planet cracking mining is generally as follows:
After pre-exploration, a high-value mining target is first identified, and the Harmony Mining Company (CEC) will then send a ground team to the target planet or celestial body to establish a colony for follow-up work.

This kind of colony is generally ring-shaped, surrounding the land that will be split from the planet. Build a ring of special devices at a pre-selected location to generate gravity cables.

After all these preparations are completed, a planetary cracking-level mining ship will be parked in the orbit of this planet, and the rib-shaped gravity cable generating device on the belly of the ship will cooperate with the device on the ground to generate a very powerful gravity connection or a ring. A gravitational force field that pulls the target block off the planet in a spectacular fashion.

Pulling one all the way into space—that is, within the working range of the mining deck of the mining ship, sometimes pulling the entire block of the right size directly into the mining deck.The mining workers and geological experts on the mining deck began to squeeze out the remaining value of the land bit by bit.

While the mining ships process the blocks that have been pulled away, the work teams on the ground repeat the previous work, building new ring colonies around the new blocks.

When there is nothing left in the land that has already been dug up, the mining ship on the track will move to the sky above the new land and start a new round of cracking mining operations.

To sum up, the planetary cracking technology can indeed be used as a weapon, but the limitations are not small-mainly the establishment of ring-shaped colonies in the early stage.

"The act of cleaving the first chunks from a planet is commonly referred to as 'corking'."

Fu Qinghai said to Master Buck.

For the first operation, the Ishimura did not choose a planet as the target, but a meteorite of moderate size. The Tech Priest had established a circular colony and returned to the mining ship. The Ishimura could start cracking the meteorite.

"Then, uncork the bottle and let's go."

Fu Qinghai ordered.

On each rib of the fishbone spaceship, the blue columnar ray was connected to the device on the meteorite, and began to pull the meteorite, slowly approaching the mining deck of the Ishimura.

"What about the cracking efficiency?"

Master Buck asked.

Fu Qinghai said:
"This is a long-term operation that can take up to three to five years, depending on the size of the planet. Generally speaking, the first year is spent on prospecting and establishing ring colonies, and the next two and a half years The time involved in the excavation of the earth's crust, as well as operations such as crushing, sorting, and smelting in space."

"It takes about a week to crack a block, and it takes about a day to transfer the cracked block from the surface to a space-synchronous orbit."

"Week and day are Tara standard time."

Master Buck nodded:

"It takes three to five years to completely empty out the mineral resources of a planet, which is indeed very efficient."

"Master, in the future, Phaeton Foundry World will establish Phaeton United Mining Co., Ltd. to unify the command of mining operations and coordinate the price and channels of external sales."

Master Buck looked bewildered:
"Company? What's that?"

"Uh... it's similar to the hive capital union."

Fu Qinghai didn't know how to explain it either.

"Oh, within Mechanicus, we generally call it 'Hongzhi' or 'Branch'."

Master Buck said.

"Okay. By the way, Master, you and your technical priests have stayed in the Phaeton's underground labyrinth for so long, and haven't found anything?"

Without any foreshadowing, Fu Qinghai directly shifted the topic to this.

"I know you're going to ask this, Aoyama."

Buck didn't hide anything, and said:
"It is an intricate ancient labyrinth, and there are still many areas that have not been explored. Those places are full of traps and forbidden shackles of ancient technology. We used the cover of these unknown areas to escape the pursuit of the Son of Horus, but was The Raven Guard under your command was easily found."

Master Buck took a deep look at Fu Qinghai:
"He can blend with the shadows, he's a powerful think tank, right?"

Fu Qinghai said a few words of humility for Sutterfaran:
"It's just talent, it hasn't reached the level of a think tank."

"Originally, I didn't intend to share this technological discovery with you. This is the last card I left for myself. If I lose power or fall into a dangerous situation, I will use this thing to exchange power and personal safety with Mars."

Master Buck said:

"However, I saw ambition in your eyes, Qingshan, and I suddenly realized that your pursuit and ambition are far more than just a small forging world. You desire glory and conquest, and you desire more things. "

No, you overestimate me, I only long for Nako...

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

"Compared to the miraculous technologies that you displayed... Forgive me for using the word 'miraculous', because I'm not sure whether they are relic technologies or alien technologies."

Speaking of this, Master Buck's tone was sly and tacit.

"Compared with them, what are the few things that I have hidden away? What I regard as the foundation of my life, others easily take out a lot of them. It's ridiculous that I cherish my own broom."

Fu Qinghai understood what Master Buck meant, nodded slightly, and said:
"so?"

"So, what we found in the ancient labyrinth is - the STC of the conversion beam weapon."

"what."

Fu Qinghai nodded clearly.

The conversion beam weapon, like the deflagration weapon, is a semi-lost relic technology. It can still be seen on the Knight Titans of some knight families, as well as in the foundry world of individual Dark Mechanicus, and most of them are gone.

The conversion beam weapon is somewhat similar to the castrated and weakened version of the Necromancer’s antimatter particle cannon. Many weapons in the human empire are very similar to the monkey version of the Necromancer weapon. I don’t know if there is any connection between them. Maybe it’s just the GW screenwriter imagination is exhausted.

The weapon fires a high-energy conversion beam that converts matter into pure energy. The denser the material structure of the target, the more energy is converted, making the conversion beam weapon particularly useful against heavily armored units and building shelters.

But there are also many disadvantages. The size, weight and energy consumption of the conversion beam weapon make it a vehicle-mounted weapon. It is generally installed on the arm of a knight titan or a dreadnought, or as the main gun of a tank. There are also small conversion beam weapons. Usually given to the Terminator to carry, it is not so common now.

After a conversation between the two, the Ishimura has completely included the meteorite block in the working scope of the mining deck, and the technical priest is using a wide variety of tools and equipment on the mining deck to process and process the minerals in the meteorite.

"Thank you for your selfless dedication and honesty, Master Buck."

Fu Qinghai said:
"Although you are no longer the foundry director, your help will still be indispensable in the future Phaeton foundry world. I also have a technological discovery to share with you."

Master Buck was taken aback:
"you also have?"

Why is it not over yet.

Fu Qinghai pointed to the PIG suit on the bridge of the Ishimura, and said:

"It's not a relic technology, it's just another form of use of the stasis force field - the stasis module."

The mechanical body under Master Buck's robe trembled slightly.

Not every forge world can produce stasis force fields. This thing is very expensive. The stasis force fields of the entire Obscure Star Region are produced in the Forge World of Belaken in the Calixis star region. It has a monopoly in this area. status.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and smiled and said:
"I hope to see my company equipped with stasis grenades and stasis bombs sooner rather than later."

"grown ups!"

At this time, a technical priest hurried over.

"The meteorite has been mined, and we have roughly figured out how this mining ship works."

……

The Goliath-class factory ship is brightly lit.

Tech-priests are working overtime to produce pulse bolters and fat launchers. The latter has undergone some magical changes from the Mechanicus, and the hydraulic ejection distance is longer. The appearance is no longer so radioactive wasteland style, but has become a Familiar Warhammer 40K style.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fu Qinghai also began to think about upgrading his personal equipment.

Unlike company equipment and imperial guard equipment, personal equipment is the only one that does not need to consider the cost issue, and it can be purchased as expensive as it is powerful.

Fu Qinghai came into contact with many power armor and protective suits of sci-fi IP in the Resident Evil movie universe, but none of these things aroused his interest.

As far as mass-produced power armor is concerned, the MK series of Star Warrior is already the best one. The Mechanicus has been continuously improving and polishing for thousands of years. It has almost no shortcomings and is very mature in every aspect.

As far as personal models of power armor are concerned, Iron Man's Mark series and Model series are also the most luxurious personal equipment among various sci-fi IPs. Fu Qinghai has some technologies of the former but has no experience with the latter.

As soon as he came up, he was equipped with the best combination of the two types of power armor, which is naturally suitable for radiation, aliens, half-life, dead space, bliss space, oblivion, nuclear explosion RPG and these sci-fi reincarnation worlds All kinds of power armor and protective clothing in the game are despised.

Then, can these things that Fu Qinghai despises be given to the Schwerin Corps under Koshwito?
No money, no need.

Unlike personal equipment, any mass-produced weapon needs to consider the cost issue. Not to mention that Fu Qinghai currently only has one forge world and one hive world in his hands. Even if he sits on the golden toilet, the resources he has are not Unlimited, as long as resources are limited, there will be allocation problems involved.

Doesn't the Imperium of Man have mortal-sized power armor?Both the judge and the battle nun have special power armor, as well as the famous vow armor of the silent nun.

So why not give the big heads of the Imperial Guard a set of power armor?It's not because of lack of money that the imperial guard regiments that can wear carapace are all local tyrants and elites.

The solar auxiliary army wearing solar-style void combat armor has already become history.

Why do you say it is not necessary.

The history of the development of weapon science and technology has always been that the spear is greater than the shield. Compared with the same cost, the attack power of the weapon is always far greater than the defense power of the armor. How many laser guns can be made for a set of carapace armor? It will be settled.

Fu Qinghai felt that if he had the money to equip all members of the Imperial Guard with power armor, it would be better to use it to build a few more space fighters—the Emperor probably thought so too. The eighteen Astartes Legions numbered two million men.

This is called "resource allocation".

By exterminating the Night Lords war gang, the Brotherhood of God Machine has harvested more than 120 usable gene seeds, the gene seeds from the Eighth Legion.

Fu Qinghai's plan is: wait until the gene seeds are not enough, and then consider building personal armor for the servants of the warband and the Imperial Guard led by Koshweto.

Not necessarily power armor, maybe just protective clothing.
