Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 113 The Chosen One

Not long after Russell and Coronial left together, the research ship and frigate assembled by Gray Wind completed the first round of system self-inspection, and filed out of Embra's orbital dock, docking at the star above Falla. in Hong Kong.

As a theoretical monk who spends all day at home doing research, the director of scientific research feels that it will take a lot of time to get familiar with the operating system of these ships and get used to getting along with the hive biological engine, which is not an easy task.

Although the Order of Truth is open to the use and absorption of alien technology, and has no objection to using brainwashing methods and bio-modification surgery to enslave the Eldar, but putting a live alien bug on a battleship as a wetware engine, they are more or less still There will be some psychological barriers.

After all, after the years of strife and the catastrophe of the long night, the hatred for aliens has been engraved into the collective subconscious of all humans in this universe.

Even for the monks of truth who advocate pragmatism, it must take a long time to get rid of such inertia of thinking.

Just how long is that time?half a year?a year?Or ten years?
...the answer is not even an hour.

When all the preachers and accompanying combatants and logistics personnel boarded the ship and finished refitting, the expedition fleet quickly left Falla in a neat formation, passed through the gravel belt, and skimmed the outermost ring of the galaxy until it left the Falla star Within the range of influence of the Gravity Well.

——The warp speed engine can only be activated outside the galaxy, but Falla is too prosperous today.The galaxy is full of merchant ships and Mechanicus ships coming and going, and the routes of various spacecraft are very dense. In order not to cause traffic safety hazards, the expedition fleet needs to start warp sailing outside the Falla galaxy.

In the core compartment of the ship, under the nervous gaze of the missionaries, a powerful current was pumped from the central nervous system of the brain worm, and was released to the cerebral cortex. Countless neurons entered an overclocking state under the stimulation of strong bioelectricity.

biological engine, start to fire,
In an instant, the starlight around the hull was quickly crushed and distorted, like a ball of alkaline noodles being kneaded and flattened by the chef's powerful palms, and manipulated wantonly.

In the end, the curved space curvature surrounded the silver-white hull, forming a layer of thin film flowing with colorful starlight, filling the entire ship into a "cavitation".

At this time, there is no need to start any propellers, and there is no need to maintain the power of the reactor; just like a sailboat riding the wind no longer needs to paddle, the sailfish research ship entering the curvature bubble does not need to do any unnecessary things anymore, just ride Sliding forward along the curvature, you can naturally exceed the speed of light.

So the missionaries looked at the hideous and grotesque brain worm in front of them, and their eyes were suddenly full of kindness.

The same change of attitude took place in every scientific research ship, with endless starlight rushing past the portholes, and the previous repulsion and antipathy disappeared with the astronomical distance.

A young preacher looked at the brain worm whose head was constantly flashing electric currents, and couldn't help asking: "Such intense brain activity consumes a lot of energy, do you want something to eat?"

The cerebrate blinked the six symmetrically arranged eyes, and it took a while to understand what the other party meant.

"Give it some high-purity glucose solution, if you can."

A peaceful voice suddenly came from behind, and the young preacher turned around to see that the person speaking was an old man with gray hair on his temples, wearing a pure white study uniform.

Research Director of the Falla Research Base.

He was followed by two "sarcasm" wearing a full set of lobbyist mechs and holding argument spears. Important figures like the scientific research director would always be equipped with enough guards even in the abbey's own battleship.

"If my memory is correct, your name should be 'Alphonse'?" the research director said with a smile.

The young preacher he called Alphonse hurriedly bowed slightly, nodded and said, "That's right, the supervisor, it's me."

"It seems that my neurological aging is not too serious..." The research director was quite happy, then he turned around and took a sealed bottle containing a transparent solution from a sarcastic banshee following him. glass tube.

The glass tube was cut open with the spiritual bone blade in the ironic banshee's hand, and the director of scientific research stretched the glass tube forward, pouring the transparent solution inside into the mouthparts of the cerebrate that couldn't wait to open.

"Although the energy provided by a tube of solution is very insignificant compared to the huge consumption of warp speed navigation, brain worms like to ingest glucose solution, just feed it from time to time, it will be very happy." The research director said , return the empty glass tube to the box.

"I see." Alphonse nodded in agreement, but he was still a little curious. It was the first time he had come into contact with a biological engine. Why did the research director know the preferences of the brain worms so accurately?Didn't he stay in the base all the time and devote himself to academics...

Alphonse had the vigor that a young man should have. He didn't keep his doubts in his heart and asked directly.

In response, the director of scientific research asked the satirical banshee behind her to take off the mask engraved with spreading wings on her face, revealing a beautiful female face and a pair of eyes that radiated lavender light.

It is exactly the same as the psychic light in the eyes of the brain worm.

"The Eldar clan used to have a unified spiritual field linking all the individuals of the clan, but due to the collapse of the ancient Eldar empire, they once lost this link—until now."

The director of scientific research patiently explained to him:

"After mental training and body modification surgery, using the Gestalt will of the life-shaping queen controlled by our leader's powerful psychic power as a node, the banshees have rebuilt their spiritual links with each other. With the help of the hive spiritual network to resist sub- While being affected by space, they can also directly know the thoughts of other banshees and swarms, including the eating preferences of brain worms."

"So that's how it is..." Alphonse looked at the tall and graceful Eldar banshee, and at the terrifying and grotesque, ugly cerebrum, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

These two completely different species actually have a close connection at the soul level, which made him feel a weird feeling that couldn't be shaken off.

Seeing Alphonse's dignified expression of serious thinking, the director of scientific research unconsciously smiled.He has always admired young people who dare to seek knowledge.

This young preacher named Alphonse is not a native of Falla, and he doesn't even have a home planet. He is a "son of the void".

Children of the Void, referring to children born on space battleships.

Alphonse's family has lived and multiplied on the battleship Repentance Fire for generations. The long time and frequent mixed blood in the millennium have already made them forget their home planet. For the children of the void, the life they live in The ship is one's own home planet.

Even among the children of the void, Alphonse is a very different existence-he is a natural psyker, and a very powerful and uncontrolled psyker.

Alphonse, who was a research consumable for psionic theory, was just born when he was sent to the Order of Truth, and the moon was not yet full. However, his powerful psionic power was almost impossible to suppress even the veteran think tanks of the Flames of Repentance.

If it weren't for the fact that the Order of Truth was conducting related research on absorbing and storing spiritual energy at that time, and continuously draining the powerful spiritual energy emitted by him unconsciously in many experiments, this baby who had just been full moon would have probably burned out his brain long ago.Overly powerful psychic powers plagued Alphonse during his upbringing, until the last few years.

After the integrated prosthetic body transformation, the huge computing power and strong subspace resistance endowed by the quantum neural connection allowed him to truly master his psychic talent,

However, like Russell, he has powerful psychic powers, but he hasn't learned a few spells, and he doesn't know how to use his power to the maximum extent.

"The star bomber is the most powerful psychic I have ever seen, and possesses unfathomable insights and profound knowledge. If you can ask the leader to teach Alphonse about how to cultivate psychic power... then then It couldn't be better."

The director of scientific research thought to himself, secretly thinking about how to persuade the star bomber to let Russell, who is completely ignorant of advanced psionic spells, teach Alphonse, the psychic created by himself, who can be called the chosen one.

——Driven by the warp drive, it took 12 Terra days, and the expedition fleet arrived at the flare galaxy where the black pyramids are located.

The radiation dust in space has not yet dissipated, and the ship's energy shield still needs to be turned on.

During the time they arrived, Lystia negotiated with the trial court many times, and even used Alexei's authority to temporarily suppress the judges' eagerness to break into the pyramid to find the missing fire. And the desire to act of the blood lion, the exclusive judge, made the buildings here be preserved.

According to the style of the human empire, the judges will probably blow up these pyramids after entering.

The armed scientific research team composed of 21 Sailfish scientific research ships, 63 Swordfish frigates, and some logistics transport ships immediately merged with the self-repairing Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth after entering the flare galaxy, exchanging Information obtained during this time:
"Before you arrived, I organized a few teams to conduct some cautious preliminary exploration on the outer part of the pyramid group, and by the way, recovered the corpses of several space warriors—soldiers with the fire of repentance, as well as some genetic codes. An unknown Astartes whose information is so ancient that even the data records have been blurred."

As Lystia said, she sent a short survey report to all 21 scientific research ships:

"As you can see, most of the various infrastructures inside the pyramid are intact, and a few damaged equipment was also caused by the battle that took place here not long ago. The fighters of the Repentant Fire are fighting some enemies. I boldly speculate , their targets of exchange of fire may be those mysterious Astartes with ancient genetic codes."

"And, among the several small peripheral buildings we have investigated, some are suspected to be arsenals, and some are hangars for parking ships. During the exploration, the team encountered some bionic automatic machines similar to snakes and spiders. They should be These buildings are part of the automatic maintenance and defense system. In order not to cause a larger chain reaction, we did not explore further."

"However, it is worth mentioning that although the automatic maintenance machinery is still there, no matter whether it is the arsenal, the shipyard, or the hangar, they are all empty. There are no weapons, equipment or spacecraft left. According to the recent operation traces of the infrastructure, we infer that ..."

"This building complex is not a relic, their owners are still alive, and they just left a few years ago, taking away all the weapons and spacecraft, leaving only a handful of ships to guard the base camp - that is what attacked us before Those two scythe battleships."

Although after destroying the Death Scythe battleship, she did not find any traces of living intelligent creatures from the wreckage, but there were a considerable number of mechanical skeleton wreckage.

"Those mechanical skeletons are the masters of this pyramid group." At the suggestion of the research supervisor, Alphonse sent this message to the Ark of Elysium and the Oracle of Truth.

"Ah? Those bloodthirsty sick robots? Aren't they war machines made by the owner of the pyramid?" Listia's voice seemed very surprised.

Because he was in a hurry to do other things, Russell only briefly introduced some basic information about the Necrons to the monks of truth on Falla, and did not communicate with Ark of Elysium.

And the monks on Falla were busy preparing to convene personnel to count the supplies and equipment for the warp speed voyage, and did not contact and exchange information with the Ark of Elysium, thinking that the far-sighted leader had already told Listia and the others.

It wasn't until now that Listia really knew whose grave she was digging.

While exchanging information internally, the scientific expedition fleet quickly headed for the carbonized crystallized planet that was closely monitored by the Tribunal.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Mechanic Order's fleet was still soaking in the subspace and did not arrive, they planned to conduct a comprehensive investigation as soon as possible.

After passing the identity verification and showing the judges the authorization document signed by the Faya Senate, the mighty scientific research fleet hovered over the pyramids.

The weapon system of the Swordfish frigate is always in a state of readiness, and the Swordfish scientific research ship also maintains the full power of the two sensors of Tachyon and Psionic. The hatches of each ship are opened to drop the first wave of landing troops. to the surface of the ruins.

This batch of scouts, who took the risk, are all fully armed Eldar banshees. They need to complete basic surveys on the ground and set up teleportation beacons at appropriate locations so that follow-up personnel can quickly teleport between the battleship and the ground. .

That's what the missionaries brought them here for.

These female Eldar who had their ovaries and uterus removed by Koroniai, brainwashed and trained, were divided into multiple arms by the Order of Truth, such as:

Equipped with weapons of mass destruction and responsible for the "greed" of fire suppression;
Equipped with extreme power melting weapons and armor-piercing weapons, the "rage" of meltdown operations against high-defense targets;
And, equipped with a variety of cold weapons such as argument spears, specializing in the "irony" of melee fighting and stealth assassination.

The perfect physical fitness and excellent psychic potential of the Eldar were developed to the extreme by them to support themselves in carrying out this deadly investigation mission.

The main Necromancer fleet that left here not long ago will return at some point, and the banshees will have to help the living metal warships by then.

For human beings, the life of the spirit race has never been a life, just use it as consumables and it's over.
