Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 103 The Lost Person
When moving the creations of the Stars Technology Tree to this universe, Russell always used rhetoric such as "a legacy of the dark age of technology" to fool the mechanical society, and forced himself to give himself rationality.

And now, he's truly found a piece of humanity's legacy from the dark ages of technology.

"This is an extremely powerful and dangerous weapon. It was originally assembled on the war flagship of ancient humans as the main weapon." Russell exhaled the air he had inhaled before, and looked away from the ring instrument, looking at the link on the The transparent cube under the instrument: "And it is the core of the AI ​​​​artificial intelligence that controls the war flagship and the main weapon."

The connection between the ring instrument and the transparent cube was crude, and Russell understood why, because the Eldar had failed to penetrate the overpowering and mysterious technology of the Dark Ages of human technology.

He stepped forward, stood under the broken crystal cluster, stared at the silent AI core, and explained to Gray Wind:
"The spiritual empire had many contacts and conflicts with the ancient humans in the dark age of science and technology, and even several wars broke out."

"And in the largest conflict recorded in the history of the Eldar, the Empire of the Eldar narrowly destroyed an extremely precious war flagship of mankind after paying a heavy price."

"After the war, the Eldar removed the main weapon and artificial intelligence core of the ship, trying to study and decipher the incredible time technology."

Yes, the purpose of this weapon is to interfere with time.

"Did the Fodora's Ark Spirit Race plan to use this thing to break the situation just now?" Gray Wind was a little puzzled.

"Yes, because it is a time weapon."

Russell looked up at the circular machinery mounted on the crystal cluster, and continued:
"Human beings in the dark age of technology are particularly good at time technology. They are good at using time manipulation technology to counter the ability of the spirit race to predict the future, and the function of this weapon is-large-scale time regression."

"The Eldar Empire failed to crack the mystery of human time technology until its own collapse, and the activation authority of the weapon was also in the hands of AI, but they still developed a rather crude way to use this weapon—combining the weapon with artificial intelligence The core connects and then overloads the system, forcing it to fire at the expense of the weapon's own structural collapse."

"The Eldar plan to use this method to turn back the time of the entire Lost Dream Star Group, so that the miniature galaxy can be restored to an unbroken and complete state, and they themselves can ride the tide of time with the Ark World to enter a new era in the miniature galaxy. The universe is free from now on."

Speaking of this, Russell was a little scared.

Fortunately, his actions were not slow, otherwise, if the Eldar successfully activated the time weapon, even he would enter the miniature galaxy with this group of cowardly bean sprouts.

"No wonder you said before that once a certain dangerous device is successfully activated by the Eldar, the entire Lost Dream Nebula and we will not exist in this universe." Gray Wind suddenly realized: "So that's what you meant?"

Immediately afterwards, Gray Wind said: "I wonder if this weapon can be used by us?"

The power of the time weapon is too powerful. If it is possible to use it, I believe that no one will miss this opportunity, and Russell is no exception.

"The control of the time weapon belongs to this old battleship AI, and we can start from here." Russell clapped his hands lightly: "Before then, we should go."

Two strong hive tyrants walked from behind him to the crystal cluster cage, and the two worms respectively carried the ring-shaped time weapon and the artificial intelligence core in the shape of a transparent cube.

With two pieces of human heritage from the dark age of technology, Russell left the Arkworld of Fodora.

After Russell left, the huge hive biological mothership appeared from the nebula and docked above the corpses of the ark world. The swarm was still dismantling the work. The corpses are all recycled as biomass raw materials without discrimination, and no drop is wasted.

And those spirit race individuals who have been reduced to unintellectual species, as well as the few Fordora fighters who survived serious injuries by luck, were also swallowed into the flesh cavity of the biological mothership, and the next step of training was carried out according to Russell's plan .After being domesticated, these Eldar can provide Russell with more and greater benefits than burning the land to dust.

After ending the war in his hand, Russell also learned about the battle situation in other areas on the way back:
Because of the timely return of reinforcements, the imperial army commanded by Alexei temporarily suppressed the two-sided attack of the spirit clan's offensive force with an unsightly loss ratio. The reason why it is said temporarily is because it still failed to suppress it in the end.

A battered Eldar destroyer finally broke through the Imperial defenses and launched a suicide attack on the main gate of the L-star gate in Falla - it did not hesitate to detonate after teleporting to Falla through the stargate The Singularity Reactor at the core of the destroyer was blown up, blowing his own body and the left hand of the icon of the Wayfinder into pieces.

Even though the Order of Truth, who had prepared for the worst, succeeded in restoring the main gate with the nano-robots left by Gray Wind, the failure to defend the Emperor's icon was still regarded as a great shame by the Imperial Army. , Countless state church priests broke down and cried bitterly on the battlefield.

Because of this, the crimson upstart's battle group leader fell into a certain state of madness. He brought his personal guards into the enemy's formation and hacked, and almost died of being trapped in a tight siege. They rescued.

"I didn't keep it... It's a pity, but I don't blame them. Although I have provided many advanced fighters to the steel wandering soul, it is just a drop in the bucket on a battlefield of this level. I can keep the star gate in the hands of the strange spirit race. It’s been a miracle for so long.”

Russell shook his head, and asked another question he was more concerned about: "What about Mirak? The Repentance Fire Group should also participate in the battle. The enemy has been killed to the home planet, so you have to get up with a knife even if you are recuperating?"

Gray Wind shook his head: "No, Mirak is missing, and together with the remaining 38 veterans of the Blaze of Repentance, the Inquisition is still looking for them everywhere."

"Missing?" Russell couldn't hold back: "What's going on, tell me in detail."

"Okay." Gray Wind nodded, came to Russell and sat down next to him, and then said:

"At the very beginning of the war—that is, when the Eldar launched their main attack on the two galaxies of Xihe and Aurora at the same time, Mirak, the chapter leader of the Blaze of Repentance, and 38 veterans of the chapter mysteriously disappeared without warning. gone."

"The Adeptus Mechanicus said that Mirak asked them for two light strike boats and a guided missile destroyer before he disappeared, and then disappeared without saying hello. There has been no news since then, until now."

"Because Mirak's disappearance coincided with the time when the Eldar attacked Falla, and because the Fire of Repentance fired on the statue of the Guide, the Inquisition believed that the Fire of Repentance had betrayed the Empire by fleeing. "

"There are also radicals who sent petitions to Alexei and the Ministry of Military Affairs and other departments, hoping to erase the establishment of the heretical war group, the Flame of Confession, and replace it with other war groups capable of protecting the emperor. Stationed in Falla."

This situation is really not very good, especially when Russell knows that Mirak is a loyal person.Russell frowned while listening, while clenching his fists subconsciously, with both doubts and worries in his heart.

Gray Wind lowered his head, took Russell's palm with both hands, straightened and stretched his fisted fingers one by one, and said softly: "You are a little nervous, Marshal, what's wrong?"

It was only then that Russell realized his gaffe, so he smiled at Gray Wind and said, "I have seen that in the future, on a certain matter, Mirak will give me some crucial help, and Now he's missing..."

The originally clear situation suddenly became complicated, which he had never foreseen.

"Huh?" Hui Feng blinked, his expression full of surprise: "So this sentence is not the words used by the Marshal to fool them? It is actually true?"

"Of course it's true..." Russell pinched Gray Wind's face with one hand, and pulled out half a crying face for it.

It would be fine if it was really just fooling people.

"In short, let's go back to Falla first, and then find a way to find out the reason why Chamilak disappeared and where he went." Russell let go of his hand, allowing the half crying face on Gray Wind's cheek to return to its original state.

Looking at his current appearance of overreacting because of the suspected error in the prophecy, Russell couldn't help laughing at himself.

He suddenly thought of two Primarchs who had the same ability to predict the future as himself: Sanguinius and Konrad Koz, both of them believed in their prophecies to the point of bewilderment, and one was charged Ruth took out his heart and soul, and one was made into a space drift bottle.

The current self doesn't seem to be much different from them, just like a clown.

Is it true that the minds of mortals cannot control the power of gods?

Gray Wind opened his eyes wide and looked at Russell's face. He didn't quite understand that he had just defeated the Ark Spirit Race of Fodora, and also obtained such treasures as the Time Weapon and the Ancient Artificial Intelligence Core. Somewhat lost with the disappearance of ten genetically modified humans.

After thinking for a while, Gray Wind carefully took Russell's hand, put it on his face, and made half a crying face.

"Will that make you better?"

Russell froze for a moment, then smiled and sighed: "Thank you, Gray Wind, I'm much better."

After speaking, he pinched half of Gray Wind's crying face into a smiling face, so the other half of Gray Wind's face also smiled.

In fact, after calming down, Russell could more or less guess the reason why Mirak left without saying goodbye with the remaining veterans of the Flame of Confession, but that reason is not suitable for the State Church and the Inquisition as a reason to exonerate... Rather, that reason is a crime in itself.

In addition, the timing of their disappearance was too coincidental. Even if the words of the star bomber were heavy, he didn't have much confidence in keeping the name of the fire of repentance.

Let's take a step by step.

The gray Gu mothership soon returned to the Xihe galaxy, and returned to Falla through the L-star gate.

Above the urgently repaired stargate, the left hand of the emperor's icon was still missing, Russell didn't care about this.

After the gray Gu mothership flew into the Falla galaxy, the first thing that came into view was a crimson planet covered by a steel frame and various industrial divisions.

The urban planet "Embra".

This planet was originally located in the outer ring of the Falla galaxy, but it was forced into the habitable zone by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and it was transformed into an urban planet with full production capacity, a planet that continuously devoured massive resources and processed them into high-strength alloys. It is an ideal city for various military/civilian industrial products.

It's just that there is a huge sign on the surface of this ideal city, which can be seen even in space, that is the sign of the Mechanic Order-the gear skull.

The influence of the Adeptus Mechanicus goes far beyond that. When the gray Gu mothership left Embra star behind and entered the inner ring of the galaxy, the outline of a behemoth emerged. The star base that anchored itself in the orbit of the star The "Zhe" is just around the corner.

The Zelo storm projector left by the star bomber is assembled on the top of the star base. This artifact, which can set off a subspace storm on the scale of a star system, is shaped like a three-legged tower, engraved with incomprehensible Zelo Lo text, but that was before.

Today, the central control room of the star base under the Zelo storm projector has been transformed into a splendid and magnificent cathedral. There are murals, scriptures, and poems praising the human emperor everywhere, even the three-legged tower itself. The text is also covered up, and the representative cog skull of the Mechanicus and the sacred double-headed eagle of the Empire are printed.

This group of magic sticks... Seeing the storm projector transformed into the shape of the empire, Russell felt inexplicably that he had been NTRed.

Boarding the Seeker with complicated emotions, Russell participated in several post-war meetings led by Alexei as the Governor of Falla. The main content was to celebrate the victory. Everyone deliberately avoided talking about the Emperor's broken left hand , pay more attention to emphasizing how many soldiers and resources the planets they manage provided for this great victory, exaggerating their own contributions.

After talking about it several times, Russell felt that he had nothing to gain except that he was very respected in the upper circle of Espernese and that his words had little weight.

On the contrary, the recent arms business of the Order of Truth has been doing well. After the battle with the Ark Eldar of Fodora, forces including the Order of Mechanics and the Iron Wandering Souls have hoarded a large number of psionic dust and living spirits. family captives.They basically bought the high-performance interceptors, Cyberlux combat bodies, and destructive weapons deployed by Russell.

In addition, the news disseminated by Bernardita has spread throughout the underground world of the Espernes sector. It is foreseeable that Russell will probably not be short of psychic fuel for a long time in the future.

And this land will probably become a restricted area for the Eldar.

It is worth mentioning that the Order of Truth is not a legal organization recognized by the empire, and of course Russell does not bother to be recognized by the empire.Therefore, the psionic dust transaction has always been a transaction process similar to the black market, and it cannot be carried out on the stage.

That's why Russell didn't ask Alexei, but used Bernardita to spread the news.
