Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 106 "Anti-Entropy"

After Russell sent Lystia away, Gray Wind came out of the room slowly, with a guilty conscience as if he had done something wrong, and he lowered his head, not daring to look into Russell's eyes.

This made him a little uncomfortable.

In the past, Gray Wind always put on a rather arrogant and playful appearance to hide the meticulous and cold rationality of the micro-mechanical Gestalt; now it is just the opposite, it often needs to deliberately behave serious and unreasonable in order to Cover up your impulse and sensibility that you occasionally reveal inadvertently.

In this universe, what happened to Gray Wind is inevitably frightening.If Gray Wind hadn't stayed with him all day, Russell would have wondered if it had been polluted by some Chaos God.

How about sterilizing it tonight?
Later that day, the director of scientific research handed over the new ship design drawing that his team had just drawn to Russell for review.

Since Russell gave them the path to prosthetic ascension half a year ago, the Order of Truth has split into two factions;
Represented by Lystia, who has undergone prosthetic transformation and is about to leave Falla to go to the Far East border, conduct various investigations and researches in various places in the star field in the name of conscription, and verify their theories in practice.

Represented by the scientific research director, he rejects prosthetic ascension, has a conservative attitude, and chooses to stay in the research base to continue various theoretical research "theoretical school".

The Practitioners regard their upcoming journey as a social practice to test the ideas of the Order of Truth and a "preaching" to promote the truth, and they call themselves "preachers" ever since.

In order to support the next actions of the missionaries, Russell asked hundreds of theoretical monks headed by the research supervisor to design a new type of scientific research and exploration ship with excellent performance and equipped with various necessary research equipment, and put it into production as soon as possible.

After putting down all other tasks at hand, the research director led the research team to integrate and optimize the many black technologies acquired from the Mechanic Order over the years with more than a dozen special technologies from the Human Federation, and finally designed Russell's This scientific research ship blueprint.

Russell spread the thick stack of drawings handed in by the research supervisor on the table, and opened the cover.

This scientific research ship named "Swordfish" is more similar to a dolphin in shape, and its body size is between a frigate and a destroyer. The bending deformation of the car is particularly elegant at high speeds, and it really looks like a swimming fish.

In addition to the conventional invisibility field and shield configuration, the silver-white smooth body of the sailfish-type scientific research ship is also equipped with two types of sensors, psionic and tachyon, but because the space in the body needs to carry a lot of research equipment, The hull itself is only equipped with the most basic self-defense firepower - Sky Cloud Lightning, Tornado missiles and Destroyer torpedoes.

The performance of this scientific research ship tends to be perfect in all aspects, and Gray Wind is also very satisfied.

Such an excellent ship template was designed in just half a year, and it was specially matched with the "Swordfish" type combat frigate as an escort force. The theoretical level of the theoretical school led by the scientific research director is worthy of recognition, but the hair density is a bit thinner. .

But here's a little problem:

In Russell's plan, the missionaries of the Order of Truth should form a group of three and drive a sailfish-type scientific research ship to go on missions.And every sailfish scientific research ship needs to be equipped with at least 3 "Swordfish" combat frigates as the most basic escort force.

In addition to the hundreds of theoretical monks headed by the scientific research director, more than 1200 people have chosen prosthetic ascension to become missionaries, which means that at least 4-500 sailfish research ships and ships will be built in the future. About 1200-1500 Swordfish frigates can meet the needs of implementing the Russell plan.

For star shooters who have just completed the large-scale project of building a quantum bullet bow and have almost exhausted all resources, it is really a big burden, and the built ship has to be registered with the Ministry of Justice to be considered legal. Ships, black households entering other people's homes without authorization are easy to be blown up and blown up.

But the good news is that he doesn't have to pay for it himself.

There was no need to think about this kind of thing. Russell forcibly pulled in the research director who had just finished the project and was about to go back to the research base to continue living at home, and hurried out the door.

The director of scientific research followed the leader onto a transport ship in a daze, and was even more puzzled: "Are we leaving Falla?"

"That's right." Russell nodded and said, "The large-scale construction of space battleships in units of thousands is not a small project. So we are going to Embra to talk to the mechanics above, as long as the given The salary is sufficient, and I believe the technical priests will be happy to contract this project."

The director of scientific research thought for a moment, but there was no objection.

Although he has been living in the research base to do theory, but his news is not stagnant.

As far as the scientific research director knows, a group of technical priests and grassroots technicians led by the technical sage "Spangler" have long been inconsistent with the faction of the great sage Coster, and have been intentionally leaving the Musbell casting controlled by the great sage The world, stand on your own.

After the initial completion of the construction of Embra Star, taking this ideal city that had just completed the first phase of construction as a foothold, the technology sage Spangler finally officially announced his independence from Musbell, and started in Fajala. own organization.

But since independence, the situation of the Mechanic Order of Embra has not been very good.

The great sage Coster was furious about their independence and monopolization of the urban planet, but due to the energy of the star bombers and the Faya Senate, he could not directly do any violence to the Embra Mechanic Society led by Spangler move.

The frustrated great sage can only block the supply of resources and keep releasing rhetoric such as "Musbell will refuse to provide ship maintenance and munitions supply for the navy and caravans that are close to Embra" to suppress Sri Lanka from all aspects. Pangler's faction tried to make him go astray and return to Musbell's system.

Coster's method is indeed effective, and the Mechanic Society still has some influence in the human empire.

Over the years, Russell has seen with his own eyes that as the supply of resources has been cut off, the rogue traders who came to Falla to do business no longer dare to go to Embra to do business. Down, the ideal city plan is difficult to move forward.

Under such circumstances, how could Embra's Mechanic Order refuse the large order brought by the star bomber, even with the harshest conditions?

Russell is indeed a little short of resources now, but he is not short of money.

The transport ship carried Russell and the director of scientific research across the inner ring of the Falla galaxy to the sky above Embra.The trajectory of the voyage crosses the space elevator that has not yet been built but was stopped due to lack of funds. When you look up, you can still see the idle orbital dock and satellite base.

These facilities are still just prototypes. If the original project plan is carried out, as long as there are enough resources, Spangler can connect the completed space elevator to the orbital dock, and build a star ring that is even more powerful than Musbell's. Advanced and complete star ring base.

However, his plan was suspended as the capital chain was cut off.

Looking at the prototype of the Xinghuan base that was stopped at the beginning of the construction, Russell seemed to see those unfinished buildings in his hometown that could not be handed over because the developer had run out.

While Russell was thinking wildly, the transport ship landed smoothly on top of the tallest tower on the surface of the urban planet, and the technology sage Spangler was inside.

There must be at least six such high towers on a fully completed urban planet, but now only one has been built, and the second one is only a semi-finished product and has been suspended.

Under the leadership of two technicians, Russell and the research director quickly found the technology sage who was a little frustrated today.

In the face of this old acquaintance, Russell did not ridicule his urban planet transformation project that was about to become unfinished, but directly stated his cooperation needs, and directly compared the sailfish-type scientific research ship and the swordfish-type frigate. Show him the design drawings.

Sure enough, at the first glance of the drawings, the decadent atmosphere permeating Spangler's body was instantly swept away.

The technical sage's twisted and hideous mechanical body like a centipede quickly climbed up, and each of the several mechanical arms picked up a blueprint, and browsed through the sketch of the ship brought by Russell with great efficiency. Afterwards, he let out a long breath ,explain:

"It's really an unconventional ship... I understand your request. I can undertake the construction of these two types of ships. However, this drawing is not detailed enough, and many parts of the structure are missing, such as quite Important engines, main control computer, detectors and sensors, main weapons..."

Spangler's prosthetic eyes looked at Russell, and the meaning was self-evident.

"We will solve those by ourselves." Russell pretended not to understand what he meant: "You just need to carry out the project according to the existing parts on the drawing. I will arrange for the missing parts to be delivered later. You just need to assemble them and go. Well—and less work, no?"

"...Exactly." The technology sage Spangler said with his head bowed.

He already understood what Russell meant. The shipbuilding order he undertook was only responsible for producing the hull and some other basic frames with the lowest technical content, as well as providing legal registration for these ships.

Russell didn't want to hand over any of the STCs that really involved precious core components.

If the former technology sage said that he would not give up the opportunity to get the precious STC, he would definitely get some precious technological relics from the star bomber's subordinates even if he was in trouble, but now he is not qualified to bargain.

Because the price quoted by Russell is too high...

Since the opening of the L-star gate, countless ships have passed through the terminal exit every day, and there is an endless stream. 3% of the toll tax paid by each ship when transiting through Falla has fallen into the personal control of the Governor of Falla. .Even if it cost a lot of money to buy food for Koroniai.The wealth that Russell can now control is still astronomical.

Faced with the seemingly insulting Throne Coin smashed in the face by the client, the tech sage felt ashamed.

Then he endured it.

With the signing of the contract, a large amount of funds quickly flowed into the hands of the Adeptus Mechanicus of Embra, and this somewhat silent urban planet started to operate again. The idle orbital dock was activated, the new dock began to be expanded, and the suspended space elevator project was also closed. Restarted due to the need to deliver supplies.

With Russell's absolute financial support, a new round of ideal city construction began.

The research director who was forced by Russell to learn how to negotiate business came down without observing any business skills, so he learned how to spend money, and then returned to the research base and continued to stay at home.The integrated prosthetic body transformation of the practical missionaries is also steadily progressing.

Russell, who had arranged everything properly, left Falla and returned to his loyal critical base.

"Finally able to clean up the loot."

After the gray Gu mothership docked above the hatching planet, looking at the transport worm, Russell sighed sincerely.

As soon as he entered the critical base galaxy, Coronial's soft and soft voice was transmitted into his mind through the soul link, and Russell's whole body trembled when he heard it, and he almost couldn't control it.

"Marshal, what's the matter with you?"

Russell quickly stabilized his thoughts and said, "It's nothing, Koroniai is crying miserably with me, saying that he has too much work and is exhausted enough to claim credit for reward..."

"Really?" Gray Wind wondered.

"real……"

In a sense, Russell was telling the truth.The Ark World of the Eldar Race is too large, even if the swarm has been working 996 days and nights during this period, they can barely clean up the outer part of the Ark World corpse.

Even so, the harvest has been quite rich, and the biomass recovered from the collapsed ecosystem of the Ark has already made Coroniai burp.

Not to mention that there are still a large number of spirit clan weapons that are still in good condition, such as the spirit bone battle armor, the special melting weapon of the spirit dragon warrior, the wind rider, the falcon jet motorcycle, and various spirit race fighters that mortals cannot control at all. , and even Spirit Bone Titans and Nether Titans...

Although these alien weapons are not very convenient to use when fighting side by side with the human empire, they provide excellent experimental samples for the Order of Truth to study the technology of the Eldar, so that they can design some more powerful and cool weapons and vehicles for future use. .

——The previous sailfish research ship and swordfish frigate have the flexibility of referring to the Eldar ship.

In addition to munitions, the first wave of swarms that cleared the battlefield focused on recovering a large number of Eldar books stored in the Arkworld.By studying these precious documents, the Theoreticians should be able to improve their understanding of psionic theory.It is that it may take a few spirits who have been trained by Koroniai to act as translators.

All kinds of trophies from the Spirit Race were sorted out in an orderly manner by Coroniai. Russell only went through them roughly, and did not continue to stay on the hatching planet.

Because compared to the weapons, instruments and books of the Eldar, those two special trophies obviously attracted Russell's attention more, and they were also the main purpose of his coming here.

"The defense system is heating up and is on alert."

"Emergency plan δ is ready to be activated; the No. 13 isolation protocol has come into effect."

"Start pumping in energy, apply to wake up the 'anti-entropy' AI."
