Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 121 Tiangong reconstruction body

The Far East Frontier generally refers to a long and narrow star belt running north-south in the eastern part of the Limit Star Field. Beyond the star belt is a dark abyss outside the galaxy.

The main direction of the great expedition launched by the human emperor ten thousand years ago was to start from the sacred Terra located in the west of the galaxy, and rush eastward to open up the limit star field.

The frontier of the human army's eastward expedition runs through the Milky Way, and the end of its edge is the frontier of the Far East.

Alexei was very surprised that the bomber would ask for such a frontier land, for three reasons:
First, although the space volume of the Far East Frontier is large, because it is located on the edge of the Milky Way's astrolabe, the density of star clusters here is very thin, which is far less than that in the center of the Milky Way where the starlight is dense.

It is also a standard star region with a side length of 100 light-years. There may be thousands of habitable galaxies within the five hundred worlds of Ultramar, but only a few dozen can be found in the far eastern border where galaxies are thin. Hundreds are a problem.

Second, even in the era of the Great Expedition when the emperor was still walking in the world and the empire’s national power was at its peak, the Throne World’s management of the border areas was very difficult, and it was difficult to directly impose rule. It is once in a thousand years.

It can be said that even if there is a civil war between several star regions on the Far East border, the Terra government can't control it, and it can't control it. It is basically an independent kingdom.

The third is that Alexei is currently preparing for an expedition to Terra.

The military strength of the Far Eastern frontier was almost completely emptied by her. The nobles on most planets promised the whole family to invest because of different interests, and the die-hard forces that could not be moved by words were also dealt with by the female prophet with some secret means. The empire here The already loose governance was completely paralyzed.

Without looking back, they allowed planets to be swallowed by the green tide. It can be said that this thin and barren frontier land has been abandoned by default. In order to pass on the hope of human civilization, they abandoned All star sectors within the borders of the Far East.

It is such a strategic victim that was about to be abandoned. The star bombers can wait until the expedition fleet sets off and rely on their own military strength to seize it directly. There is no problem. Only the most extreme fanatics will be dissatisfied with him. .

After all, this area was originally intended to be occupied by the Beastman Empire, and fell into the hands of the Star Bombers, at least it was still controlled by humans.

What's more, the bombers are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it.

The mechanical prosthesis on Tech Sage Spangler trembled slightly due to electric current overload. Although he did not express any views for reasons of identity, his physical reaction has already shown the Tech Sage's attitude towards this transaction.

Alexei looked a little embarrassed, her dull eyes were erratic, and she looked a little undecided.

It's not that she doesn't know how generous Russell's conditions are. To be able to use a star field that she was planning to give up in exchange for the support of warp speed engines and multiple Queen of Glory battleships is undoubtedly a sum that is almost equal to being given away money. Outrageous deal.

This is exactly what made Alexei hesitate and even fear.

In order to safely send the star gate template to Terra, she was forced to give up the defense of a large area of ​​the star field. This is a great sacrifice and a choice of last resort. As long as the expedition wins the final victory, no one will condemn her decision.

But for some military support, ceding the territory belonging to the empire to a suspected immortal who does not know the details is completely another nature.

A technological sage is not qualified to make this decision, nor is Alexei, the living saint of the emperor, who cannot afford the profound political significance of this transaction.

This is to shake the authority of the Golden Throne, and no living human being is qualified to make this decision except the Emperor.

And so came the Emperor.

A blazing light gushed out from the depths of the prophetess' soul, dyeing her violet eyes with a touch of gold.

The sunlight that shines into the Yunding lobby through the glass dome has an indescribably long-term meaning, as if it is not scattered by the stars of Falla, but from the other end of the distant galaxy, bathed by the ancient mother star Terra of mankind. The sun's rays shone brightly over the entire urban planet, shining brightly.

Alexei stared at the psychic mist flowing under the hood of the star bomber without saying a word, and the feminine facial features abnormally showed a kind of strength and determination that only appeared in men.

"Star bomber." Alexei said.

Her voice changed from its original gentleness and softness, and became elusive, as if thousands of people spoke at the same time, overlapping countless voices into a pure language without any emotion.

He said: "What I am after is the liberation of all mankind, not the prosperity of empires."

Russell smiled: "I understand."

Alexei nodded: "—Let's do it."

He didn't say anything more, even for the Lord of Humanity, the conversation with the star bomber was very difficult.

Russell didn't reply, just watched, watched as the little golden light on Alexei's body dissipated, leaving only a small, golden sword-shaped imprint on her forehead.

After a brief exchange, Spangler next to him woke up like a dream. He only now realized what happened just now. At the entrance of the Yunding lobby, the door that was originally closed had opened at some point.

The four Astartes in Seiko Power Armor knelt down in front of the door with astonishment and longing, their eyes full of disbelief.

"God Emperor..."

Gray Wind tilted his head, silently hugging Russell's arm.

After the deal with the Emperor was concluded, Russell left Embra with Gray Wind.

The news of the human emperor's miracles spread quickly through the mouths of the Crimson Upstarts and the Embra Mechanicus. Even after seeing the sacred mark on the forehead of the female prophet, the state church people immediately regarded her as the lord of mankind A real spokesperson.

The assembly efficiency of the expedition fleet reached an unprecedented level, which also brought some pressure on Russell.

The casual promise of 13 Queen of Glory class battleships is really grand, but he even needs to build the docks for assembling the Titan ships.

Inexplicably, there was a feeling that Superman, who was going to fight monsters tomorrow, sewed red underwear all night tonight.

Fortunately, the Earthburst Star is already in place, and with sufficient resources, Russell is confident that the promised ship will be delivered on time before the expedition fleet departs.

In the miniature galaxy, the anti-entropy has already selected the blasting target; the inner ring of the critical base galaxy, the nano-planet has completely disintegrated into a mechanical nano-cloud with infinite possibilities; all the conventional industrial production capacity held by Russell has been fully awakened, the star gate, matter The construction of the decompressor has been put on the agenda,
"Not enough, it's not enough..."

Facing this situation, Russell still felt that it was not enough. In addition to letting Gray Wind participate in the next construction work, he also woke up the sleeping Suzheng mainframe and connected it to the LAN to further increase production capacity.

Just when the industrial machines belonging to the star bombers were running at full speed, the armed scientific research of the Pyramids by the scientific research fleet of the Order of the Truth also achieved some results.

In the flare galaxy, the radiation dust and harmful rays floating in the galaxy have faded a lot with the passage of time. Two fleets with different styles are parked on the orbit of the carbide crystal planet in the outermost ring of the galaxy, each occupying the pyramid group. side.

One is the scientific research fleet sent by the Order of Truth.

One is an archaeological team organized by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

The inspection of the pyramids or the violent demolition was also divided into two parts, which were carried out by technical priests and missionaries respectively.

The architectural structure of the area that the Order of Truth is in charge of is relatively intact, and there are metal debris of various shapes floating on the void between the breached pyramids: underworld beetles, tomb spiders, tomb stalkers, ancient tomb sentinels... some of them The preacher is dismantling and recycling it, bringing it back to Falla for further research.

These automatic bionic machines are extremely aggressive against intruders, and they also have good combat capabilities. Fortunately, the martial arts of the Order of Truth are quite abundant, and the first reaction when encountering a mechanical structure attack is to dismantle it alive up.

The other half of the area that the Adeptus Mechanicus was in charge of was a mess. The small pyramids outside the building complex were demolished one by one in three years. No plates left.Those who didn't know thought they were here for demolition.

And in the center of the building complex, the body of the most massive super-large pyramid has hideous wounds blasted open by heavy firepower.

Several pilots drove large-scale construction machinery, and dragged two copper-colored, paralyzed huge mechanical structures that looked like large spiders from the rubble pile and transported them to the sailfish research ship on the track.

This is a heavy-duty structure called "Heavenly Reconstructed Body". Its indestructible body is as strong as pure gold, but it has a speed comparable to that of an Eldar Titan. It can be called a monster.

On both sides of the cleared road, there are large humanoid mechas with their chests ripped open and limbs severed lying here and there. They are Cyberlux combat bodies that have been wiped out by Tiangong's reconstruction body. Cyberlux combat bodies that focus on heavy firepower It is still too strenuous for a body to fight this monster at such a distance.

More than half of the dozens of combat units brought by the scientific research fleet were damaged in this conflict, and they were able to successfully paralyze the two steel monsters.

The technology of the Necrons is really shocking.

"If there are a few more of these big guys in the central pyramid, we have to go home..." Alphonse stood beside the wreckage of the Cyberlux battle body and looked at the huge wound on the pyramid, muttering to himself .

The difficulty of this scientific research mission was much greater than he had imagined.

"Don't worry, this kind of horror thing should be considered precious even to Necrons, at most two can be placed in the core area." Listia stood on tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder in relief. .

Alphonse sighed, "I hope so."

In case the artificial reconstruction body is just a cheap unit that can be mass-produced for the Necrons, that would be fun.Those of them who are going to explore the interior of the central pyramid are afraid that none of them will survive.

After cleaning up the wreckage of the Tiangong reconstructed body, the research director returned to the ship with the construction machinery. It would be more dangerous to go deep into the dangerous place.

Alphonse led a joint investigation team consisting of 17 preachers and 9 technical priests, under the protection of Eldar banshees armed with high-pressure fusion and argument spears, and intelligent control servitors equipped with gravity weapons , entered the interior of this super-large pyramid from the wound of the building.

The long-term experience of encountering sudden attacks by skinners and tomb spiders on the outskirts of the complex made the missionaries extremely nervous, but unexpectedly, the interior of this large central pyramid was... quiet.

Even with the keen hearing of the eldar banshees, they could not hear the running sound of the ghost beetles maintaining the tomb, and it was completely empty.

"Strange..." Alphonse frowned. His prosthetic eye lens still had multiple visions such as infrared scanning and thermal imaging in the dark, but no matter what kind of vision, he couldn't see anything.

There are still some unopened munitions and facilities of unknown purpose in the surrounding small pyramids, but the cavity in the largest central pyramid is literally a cavity.

Except for the transmission pipeline that no longer has energy flow and the traces left by the crawling of the Tiangong reconstruction body, there is nothing to be seen, not even a ghost beetle as the self-maintenance system of the tomb, it is surprisingly quiet.

"Be vigilant and be careful of ambushes."

As Alphonse said, the blue-purple spiritual light escaped from his eyes, and through the boost of the auxiliary equipment carried by the banshee beside him, it radiated to all parts of his body, feeling every grain of light in the cavity. The flow of dust.

The psyker's special premonition told him that conventional equipment might not be able to warn them of the dangers they would encounter next.

It's just that Alphonse, who was engrossed in the exploration, failed to notice that several technical priests beside him were quietly staring at the psionic booster in the banshee's hand.

The Mechanic Order is not without equipment with similar functions, but this model has never been seen before...

With three satirical banshees driving hoverbikes as forward scouts, the exploration team methodically followed the energy transmission pipeline deep into the pyramid.

The high-pressure fusion in the hands of the furious team in charge of the guards is in a state of being ready to launch at any time. Alphonse's spiritual energy follows the hovering motorcycle like tentacles and extends all the way forward. Everyone's quantum nerves are tense to the extreme. With possible danger.

Until they walked all the way to the end of the pipeline, they did not encounter any danger. To be precise, they encountered nothing. This is really an empty tower.

A wide, dark door appeared in front of them, preventing the Iron Banshee squad on motorcycles from moving forward.

Alphonse stopped, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the door in front of him.

This door is made of a pitch-black material between metal and stone, which looks heavy and gloomy. There are branch-like green lights flashing on the door. There is a certain pattern between light and dark. Difficult to understand.

"This is... I have glimpsed a similar record in an ancient document of Muspel." A tech priest stretched out his mechanical tentacles, and wriggled with the sensors at the end to observe the flickering green on the door in front of him. Fluorescence:

"If the records are correct, this should be a specially coded and encrypted space seal method. If we do not follow the process to crack the code to remove the seal, but directly carry out violent demolition, we will not be able to enter the real inner space."
