Chapter 597 Alien Hyperspeed Engine

"Everything looks normal, this is good news, the 13th Regiment has landed and they are now heading towards the engine room."

Wang Ming was walking in the corridor of the flagship. He was looking at the aliens that were shattered into pieces by the bombs under his feet, and at the broken corpses of the aliens. A time traveler beside Wang Ming reported the latest situation to Wang Ming, that the 13th Regiment had landed on the alien flagship.

Compared to the cleaning of the alien flagship, the actions of the 13nd and 13th Regiments of alien sailors are more targeted. Their goal is to obtain the superluminal engine on this ship. At the same time, the traversers of the st Engineer Regiment are also acting together with the th Regiment. They are responsible for inspecting the alien ship's engine and checking whether the engine of this alien flagship has the ability to travel at superluminal speed.

If this alien race really has the ability to travel faster than the speed of light in the real universe, then the fate of this alien race will become very interesting. For this alien race, Wang Ming will not choose to directly issue a large number of extermination orders, but will spare no effort to conquer their world and obtain their technology from their world.

But on the other hand, if they don't have FTL travel technology, or their FTL travel technology is not even as good as the curvature engine, then this alien race will definitely be completely destroyed by the extermination orders one by one.

While Wang Ming was walking in the corridor of the ship, in the engine room of the ship, aliens wearing powered foreign skeletons were constantly shooting at the traversers in front who were attacking the engine room. Their weapons were quite lethal to the latest type of Renaissance power armor. It was a pure energy weapon, which was seized by the traversers of the First Engineer Regiment along the way.

The time travelers of the First Engineer Corps have almost understood the principle of this weapon. In fact, it is a plasma weapon that compresses energy to release arc-like rays. This weapon is extremely lethal to metal and flesh. Once the power armor is hit, the violent pure energy plasma will directly melt that piece of power armor. At the same time, the incidental plasma caused by it will also enter the power armor, and it is very likely to partially paralyze some of the power armor's moving components.

This caused some of the sensor parts of the power armor to malfunction, resulting in the traversers having to use the unpowered power armor to fight the aliens. Fortunately, this situation was taken into consideration when the Renaissance power armor was first designed. The Renaissance power armor is not an active power armor that relies solely on the function of the power backpack. Under some special circumstances, the Renaissance power armor can also become an inactive force feedback exoskeleton.

However, compared with power armor with energy supply, their movement efficiency is much worse. Under this circumstance, the black shells of the traversers can no longer control the power armor as they did before, and they need to adapt to this process.

"Report! The entire First Company is being suppressed by firepower. Request the Second Company to provide alternate firepower cover to provide us with a chance to charge!"

The first company of the 13th Regiment is also a Terminator company. Xiao Changqing is leading them to attack the engine room, but they are suppressed by a series of plasma beam attacks from the alien forces. These alien weapons are very powerful, and even the Terminator armor cannot block a few shots.

It has to be said that these aliens have maxed out their military technology, and their weapons and equipment are comparable to those of Space Marines. But so what? Even though they are as huge as Space Marines, they do not have the same powerful strength and nerve reaction as Space Marines. Moreover, when facing Space Marines, these aliens will feel fear like humans. It is a fear of the unknown, but the traversers do not have that.

They had no idea how many things they had fought. Could they still feel fear when facing such a tiny alien? That was absolutely impossible. With chain saw swords in their hands, aliens were shit. They didn't care about the killing of the aliens. Even the brothers of the First Engineer Regiment picked up their own mechanical axes, various mechanical tools for maintenance, and the experimental weapons unique to the First Engineer Regiment.

The brothers of the First Engineer Regiment have always called themselves a group of technical geeks, but you have to know that they are first an Astartes, and only secondarily a technical sergeant of the First Engineer Regiment. Moreover, the First Engineer Regiment's transformation of their own bodies has become a unique culture. Their bodies are stronger than those of the time travelers in other regiments. A large number of mechanical limbs have replaced their original bodies. If most of the time travelers of the First Engineer Regiment did not like their original human form, the style of the First Engineer Regiment would probably become similar to that of the Mechanicus.

However, the two sides have the same philosophy in some things. They all believe in Ohm Messiah, but the belief of the First Engineer Corps is, how should I put it? Their belief is that before starting each machine, they will burn three incense sticks to the Machine Soul Master, and then offer the latest produced engine oil to the Ohm Messiah statue they made themselves.

Then they just use those machines as much as they want, and it doesn't matter if they break down, they can just repair them by repairing them. This is the unique belief of the First Engineer Corps in Ohm Messiah, complete pragmatism. They give faith to Ohm Messiah only because of some traditional reasons. For example, the first batch of mechanical priests who brought them out taught them how to maintain machine souls and how to recite binary prayers. They still respect these masters of theirs.

Although a hundred years have passed and most of them are no longer alive, the traditions they left behind when they taught the First Engineer Corps are still being passed on to the time travelers in the First Engineer Corps.

"For the Emperor! For Om Messiah!"

The acting commander of the First Engineer Regiment looked at the aliens in front of them. They did not wait for the tactical insertion of the 13th Regiment, but rushed directly towards the aliens. At this moment, the hidden combat power of the First Engineer Regiment was fully demonstrated. Various implant weapons appeared on the traversers of the First Engineer Regiment. They were like a group of running robots. The implants on their bodies kept killing the aliens they locked on. The light of plasma and hot melt kept flashing in this space. There were also some high-energy laser cutting saws. Those things were originally used to cut some high-density metals, but now they were also used as weapons.

And it's not only on their bodies, but also on their power armor. The equipment on their power armor is more terrifying than that of other traversers. They even connected a large number of small ion shield generators in series and covered their bodies, just like covering the power armor with a layer of reactive armor. This makes it almost impossible for them to suffer any damage on the battlefield. Even if a shield generator is overloaded, those shield generators arranged like reactive armor will immediately be replaced.

This wave of operations by the First Engineer Regiment confused all the time travelers from the 13th Regiment. The time travelers usually did not have much contact with the First Engineer Regiment. On the one hand, it was because they did not want to affect their scientific research progress, and on the other hand, it was because the base of the First Engineer Regiment was too dangerous. The weapons experiments those guys conducted on the fleet would easily break through the walls. Some time travelers who had passed by the base of the First Engineer Regiment had experienced the power of those things firsthand, and they died without a sound, without even any time to react. Even the time travelers who were patrolling in power armor could not safely conduct 24-hour patrols in the base of the First Engineer Regiment.

After all, those time travelers from the First Engineer Corps can always cause some weird things from time to time, and the things they study are not just mechanical creations, but also various artificial organs and bioengineering experiments.

"This is relatively normal. The First Engineer Regiment has very little contact with us. Who knows how much black technology they have in their hands."

Xiao Changqing looked at the charging traversers from the First Engineer Regiment. The firepower in their hands was much stronger than that of the regular combat traversers from the 13th Regiment. The firepower in their hands could destroy many enemies in an instant, and even demons would be torn into pieces under this firepower.

In this way, the First Engineer Regiment broke through the aliens' defenses and rushed into the engine room. They stepped on the alien corpses on the ground and quickly began to inspect the superluminal engine and conventional engine in the engine room. After a quick inspection, the First Engineer Regiment began to dismantle the engine and reported the inspection results of the engine to Wang Ming.

This engine is indeed a superluminal engine, but its specific performance still requires the collection of alien data, as well as its disassembly and data research after returning to the Solar Fortress. Some brothers may ask, why can the First Engineer Regiment quickly know that it is actually a superluminal engine?
That's because the internal structure of the superluminal engine and the conventional propulsion engine is completely different. Take the curvature engine and plasma propulsion engine in the fleet as an example. The internal structure of the curvature engine is like a large ion collider. The precision components and equipment used to distort space are all very delicate and precise. It does not have the same engine as a conventional engine. It is powered by a giant reactor, and the energy it uses is a kind of energy generation mode that even the traversers are unfamiliar with.

This is why the time travelers actually don't fully understand most of the things on the fleet, because the creations of the Human Federation are really too outrageous. They know some standard usage constants and they can maintain them, but if they really ask the time travelers about the operating mode and its energy supply, then the time travelers will probably have to hold an academic seminar, and the discussion will probably not end until the old emperor sits up.

Ahem, let's get back to the topic. Let's discuss the standard differences between superluminal engines and conventional engines. To neutralize the above situation, the superluminal engine is like a huge precision instrument, while the conventional propulsion engine is a large machine that can be used routinely. The internal structure and operation mode of the two are completely incomparable.

Just like the latest smartphone and a wired telephone that can only make single-line calls, the designs of the two are completely different, and they are machines built for two completely different purposes.

"Well done, now put the invading AI in, all their data is ours now."

Wang Ming looked at the time travelers around him. He turned off the intelligence display on the tactical eyepiece and then spoke to the time travelers around him.

The time travelers also acted very quickly. After receiving Wang Ming's order, they began to look for the connection port on the ship and began to place an artificial intelligence specifically used for computer invasions of alien civilizations into the system of the alien ship. It must be said that the artificial intelligence system of the Human Federation is really powerful.

After entering the system of the alien ship, this artificial intelligence took only one second to complete the system adaptation, and then directly broke through the alien firewall and began to copy and reprint all the information on the alien ship. The whole process took only about two minutes. This artificial intelligence transferred all the data on the alien ship to its physical components. Then, as the artificial intelligence reported to the traversers that the mission was completed, it was directly pulled out from the system connection port of the alien ship by the traversers.

Now that the intelligence has been collected and the superluminal engine has been obtained, the time travelers have begun to evacuate. The boarding torpedoes of the Earth-class battleship are still the same model as before and can still be reused. In essence, it is actually a large transport shuttle. After the time travelers of the First Engineer Regiment left with the superluminal engine, the other time travelers began to evacuate one after another.

Wang Ming was the last to evacuate. Before evacuating, he left a huge gift for the aliens. It was an antimatter bomb that weighed 50 grams. The explosion of this thing was enough to turn the alien flagship into space junk.

After deploying the antimatter bomb, Wang Ming boarded the shuttle back to the Earth-class battleship. As they left, the alien sailors who had been killed by them and were hiding everywhere also came out from their hiding places. They soon discovered the antimatter bomb, but they looked at the countdown on it and didn't know how to guess what it was.
