Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 49 Possibilities

If the Milky Way is compared to a sand table, then every star system is a grain of sand in the sand table.But there are always a few unruly grains of sand that are not in the sand table, but floating alone in the boundless void outside the Milky Way.

What Russell came to was such an unnamed galaxy hanging outside the river.

The galaxy is located in a dark void where the light of the star torch cannot be seen. There are 3 planets in the galaxy, orbiting an active pulsar that continuously radiates a huge amount of electromagnetic pulse signals, and the entire galaxy is in an extremely "lively" state.

Looking into the Milky Way from here, one can directly see with the naked eye the star system that Gray Wind detonated not long ago to wipe out the bug swarm—but it was before the explosion.

If you want to see the dazzling light spots in the starry sky created by the stellar explosion here, you have to wait at least a hundred and eighty years before you can hope.

It is in such a bustling galaxy filled with electromagnetic pulses that a silver-gray giant battleship covered with scale-like complex armor is quietly parked in the orbit of planet No. 2, which is not too far from the pulsar.

That is the gray Gu mothership, intact, the scale-like structure on the body surface is complex and delicate, the flawless beauty does not even have a single scratch.

"People in the Machina Society thought you were destroyed in that big explosion, and almost didn't sue me for destroying cultural relics." Russell sat in the center cabin of the small gray Gu battleship, and said half-jokingly: "I think I should be able to sue them for false accusations now."

"Or don't you want it? Marshal, I finally took this opportunity to retreat behind the scenes."

Gray Wind had lingering fears: "And I don't know why, the violent reaction of the two stars after they were detonated was a bit unexpected. The energy level of the explosion was much higher than the original estimate. It was too scary. I almost thought it was going to overturn."

Although the aether dragon is the ultimate creature that can withstand the big bang, it only imitated a weakened version of the aether dragon's scale armor. If it were to face the star explosion with this alone, gray wind still felt a little uneasy.

In addition, the explosion was actually out of control. If it wasn't for the drones of the human empire watching nearby, it couldn't help but turn into an L-star dragon on the spot.

While one person and one machine were talking, the small gray Gu battleship carried Russell to slow down the speed, the energy shield operated at low power, resisting the radiation of the pulsar, and cautiously approached the mothership above the No. 2 planet.

As he approached, Russell listened to Gray Wind's report;
"The main body of the Hive Fleet has been wiped out, but it is similar to me who used the dragon scale armor to resist the explosion of the stars. The largest biological mothership in the Tyranid swarm still barely survived the destruction of a piece of body by virtue of its huge size."

"It's just that the corpse of that big bug is much heavier than I thought. If I dragged it, I couldn't even sail at sub-light speed. I could only crawl slowly like a snail...I'm lying to you. I just forcibly turned on the jump engine at full power, and I took it here and there. The hull was damaged a little on the way here, just a little bit! Now it's almost repaired itself."

In fact, you don't have to deliberately downplay your injuries...

Gray Wind's voice had a cheerful tone, and although he couldn't see its face, Russell still felt that Gray Wind was proud at the moment, with his hands on his hips and an arrogant look of "quickly praise me".

"It's a great help, Gray Wind, you are really reliable." Russell said along its will.

For a large interstellar ship of the battleship level, as long as the three conditions of energy, caliber, and time are met, detonating a star is not a difficult task, especially for Gray Wind.The real difficulty is how to get out of the body after detonating the stars.

To complete the starburst mission while ensuring his own safety, Russell really couldn't find any other ship options except for Gray Wind, which could simulate the ether dragon, and the Burning God Soldier, which he couldn't make for the time being.

Fortunately, Gray Wind is reliable enough.

"Did you realize that I am reliable now?" Gray Wind's tone became even more fluttering: "Then you have to rely on me a lot in the future."

It shouldn't be praised... Russell regretted it.

Then, Gray Wind continued to ask: "But Marshal, what do you want the remains of this big bug for?"

It doesn't quite understand why Russell spends so much time and effort, and just let him make up for the bug that slipped through the net.

Russell smiled and asked, "Do you still remember the characteristics of the Tyranid swarm?"

Gray Wind thought for a while, and recalled from his main consciousness the memory of listening to Russell's story before:

"The Tyranid swarm is a typical Gestalt biological group, they are dominated by the will of the hive, driven by endless hunger, devouring all biomass in sight.

...Although in terms of the overall image, the Tyranid swarm is very similar to the Thorin protozoa, there is one fundamental difference between the two:
——Shorin protozoa are keen on transformation and assimilation. They will often exterminate all living things on a habitable planet, and then transform this planet into an 'incubation planet' that is not suitable for any living things other than themselves and can continuously support the insect swarm.

The Tyranid swarm is a complete ship-based creature. They eat wherever they go, they don't take root and they don't have a home. They are nomadic hunting groups.

But the Tyranid swarm is extremely adaptable. They will edit and optimize their own gene sequences by devouring other organisms and seizing genes, and become stronger and more dangerous in the endless devouring. "

Thinking of this, Gray Wind seemed to understand something: "Ah! Marshal, don't you mean to..."

"Although I don't know what you guessed, I think you're right." Russell nodded.

His eyes crossed the side of the ship, staring at the gray Gu mothership that was getting closer.A huge shadow slowly rose into view from the other side of planet 2. It was a huge bug, or the remnant of the hive biological mothership.

"In the Hive Fleet of the Great Devourer, there is a core individual named 'Life-shaping Queen'. It is the central node connecting the will of the Hive and the Tyranid synapse network. It also stores the gene sequences of all the creatures that the entire Hive Fleet has devoured. It is the most important individual in a Hive Fleet."

Losing a queen is equivalent to losing a brain. As it should be, the Queen of Life Shaper enjoys the strictest protection of the entire swarm.

The scorched black wreckage of the biological mothership became bigger and bigger in the field of vision, and Russell told Gray Wind expressionlessly what he was going to do next:

"In the battle moon, I saw the orcs that lived together with Bao. They exchanged genes to a certain extent, and each produced some benign mutations."

If Bao was not transformed into a great demon by the help of his loving father, he could imagine what kind of terrifying existence the orc warlord who had completed the perfect symbiosis with Bao would become.

The Orcs created by the genetic engineering technology of the ancient saints even had a gene exchange with Bao, so what about the Tyranids?

What kind of interesting changes will occur between this hive creature that survives by devouring and evolving, and the pressolin protozoan, one of the three major natural disasters of the stars?
