Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 40
What was displayed in front of Alexei and Al was a grand design blueprint.

The first page of the design drawing is a brief description of the giant structure "L-Star Gate". This is a huge structure that can only be constructed in space. The scale of the project is even comparable to the construction of a large battleship.

The L-star gate is a huge facility that can quickly jump between two distant places by means of distorting time and space.

Unlike the Gray Knight Dimitri who spent almost all his time studying scriptures and killing demons, Alexei was a knowledgeable prophet. She had dabbled in both the classics of the State Church and the related theories of the Mechanicus, and she had made considerable achievements in scientific research.

It was also this profound knowledge and excellent insight that made her immediately understand the value of this facility after she glanced at the brief description of the operation mechanism of the L-star gate with her psychic sight.

——This is a method of superluminal navigation realized by using the laws of physics.

It is stable, efficient, and safe, and has nothing to do with the subspace; this is what the Lord of Humanity dreams of, the "treasure that can change the fate of the empire."

Turning over the second and third pages of the design drawing, the project brief is followed by a large number of complicated technical details and pre-technical descriptions. Even a female prophet has no confidence to finish it in a short time.

Russell pushed the regular tetrahedron in front of Alexei with his left hand: "Will you help me complete this project?"

Of course, of course, of course!As long as this great project can be completed, I, Espernes, the Empire, and all mankind!Will do whatever it takes...

… Alexei really wanted to sigh like this, but her good self-cultivation prevented her from losing her composure. After simply swallowing the outline of the design drawing, she discovered the problem:
"This is indeed a priceless treasure, but what about the main gate? There is only information about the structure of the sub-gate."

The L-star gate system is divided into two parts, the "main gate" and the "sub-gate". The sub-gates can be expanded in unlimited numbers, but the main gate is unique.

The main gate can connect to all sub-doors, and all sub-doors can lead to the main gate;

However, two different sub-gates cannot communicate with each other.

If you want to jump from sub-gate No. 1 to sub-gate No. 2, you must transit through the main gate, and point-to-point jumps cannot be directly performed between the two sub-gates.

In other words, the main gate is the central hub of the entire L-star gate system, the "terminal exit".

The design drawing that Russell gave her only had the design information of the sub-doors, and did not include the more complicated and huge main door.

"You only need to get the sub-gate, because the main gate will be built here—in Falla." Russell said with a smile.

Alexei was silent.

She understands the importance of the main gate, and also understands Russell's intention. As the transfer station of the entire L-star gate system, the terminal exit galaxy where the main gate is located will surely become the heart hub of the entire interstellar transportation network.

That would be a huge benefit, even if Alexey didn't use his psychic foreknowledge, he could foresee that when the astonishing structure of the L-star gate was displayed in front of the high-level empire, it would cause a fierce competition between you and me.

Whether it is the high lord of Terra, nobles from all over the world, or even Alexei herself, she has also thought about setting the main gate in the capital galaxy of the Espernes sector, which is her hometown.

But Russell's attitude was tough, and his voice was neither humble nor overbearing: "The main gate will only be here, and the terminal exit is either in Falla, or it doesn't exist."

If the governors of other planets dared to be so disrespectful to the Prophet, devout believers would spontaneously give him the harshest punishment without Alexei speaking.

But Russell is different. He is not only Falla's planetary governor, but behind him stands the unpredictable existence of "Star Bomber".

Even the blueprint of the L-gate itself was a gift from the star bombers.

"I understand that you want to fight for the interests of your hometown." Alexei said with a sinking heart, slowly:
"But you have to understand that the benefits brought by the main gate are too huge. The L-star gate project will involve all interest groups in the entire empire. The struggle between them is not qualified for a small galaxy to participate in. There is a proverb in ancient Terra: Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant."

To put it simply, the water here is too deep for Falla to grasp, and neither can Russell.

But the star bomber can grasp it.

She tried to persuade Russell to give up setting the main gate in Falla, and use other benefits to make up for it. Both resources and star area rights are negotiable. The L-star gate network can win all prices for Falla.

Alexei's intentions were good, but Russell ignored her advice. The polite smile on his face was still impeccable, but he could not see any emotional fluctuations.

Alexei bit his lips lightly, and stopped persuading: "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Russell did not answer her question, but turned his head to look at the glittering golden icon of the Emperor hanging on the office wall.

"It is said that the prophetess of Espernes was blessed by the emperor and can see what will happen in the future." Russell said suddenly: "Then do you know why that person called himself 'Star Bomber'?"

Alexey shook her head, admitting her own inadequacy was not something she was ashamed of: "I don't know, I can't see through him, his soul is nothingness."

"You'll soon find out," Russell said softly.

After finishing his speech, he stood up, turned off the projector, and signaled that Dimitri could unblock the room.

When the psychic shielding spell that radiated the entire office faded, Dimitri's helmet immediately received the sound array communication request from the Flame of Repentance, as well as the psychic communication from the Gray Knights of his own team.

Alexei also immediately received the astronomical message from the psyker, and all the messages were only conveying the same message, an obvious message that could be seen just by looking out the window.

There are two moons, one big and one small, slowly moving in the clear sky of Faya. Apart from these two rounds of bright moons, a dazzling spot of light suddenly lit up in the sky.

The voice of the intelligence agent came from the sound array communication channel, telling about the changes that occurred in space when they talked with Russell:
The Hive Fleet that left Falla was attracted by some unknown existence to a remote and remote galaxy. It was a desolate place with no habitable planets and few resources, even barren than Falla.

And after the arrival of the insect swarm, the binary star system that had been running stably in the center of the galaxy suddenly collapsed.

The larger of the two stars expanded rapidly due to some unknown energy disturbance, and the mass gained after devouring the other star at an incredible speed caused it to explode into a mass of destructive flares that could destroy the entire star system in a short period of time, swallowing all the bugs that were attracted into the galaxy
The reconnaissance squad that followed the Hive Fleet far behind was also affected, their hulls were severely damaged, but they managed not to crash into space.

The surviving scouts sent back a tingling horror message:
They observed a huge battleship with a strange shape in the star system before it turned into a flare.

The initial judgment of the reconnaissance team is that it is very likely that this warship used some method to detonate two stars, annihilating the entire insect swarm in one fell swoop.

"Now, let's talk again about the terminal exit of the L-Gate network?"

Russell said with a smile.

　"Star Bomber" is the name given to human civilization by the singer civilization in the novel Three Body Problems.

　　In the article, human beings use the sun as a signal amplifier to send broadcasts to the whole universe, which is vividly described as "playing the sun".

　　Therefore, the singer affectionately called human beings "star bombers".

　　—and then destroy humanity.
