Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 53 The Critical Base

Chapter 53 The Critical Base
Although Gray Wind, the collective consciousness of micro-machines, is actually not tired, but it still wants to tease the marshal for being a human being and use it as a machine, and his raised brows droop again.

"After the work here is completed and the first L-star gate is open for navigation, I will accompany you to leave Falla and go to the Espernes star area." Russell comforted: "It would be boring to squat in this corner all the time."

"Okay!" Gray Wind immediately became happy. Hearing Russell tell so many stories about the human empire, it had long wanted to see with its own eyes what this ancient regime across the galaxy looked like.

Gray Wind is full of expectations for this.

Seeing its joyful little appearance, Russell hesitated whether he should tell Gray Wind that he actually left Falla for other work... and the Human Empire is actually not that good.

On the other hand, he also felt that he should change his bad habit of using it to death after being easy to use it.

After arranging the rest of the work, Gray Wind split another small battleship from the Gray Gu mothership, and escorted the two passengers back to Falla.

One of them is Russell, and the other is Bao.

Before leaving, Russell named this unknown star system composed of 1 pulsar and 3 planets:

"Critical Base"

"Marshal, what do you mean by critical base?"

"It literally means descending on the base of this world." Russell stood on the bow of the gray Gu mothership, looking up at the bright and colorful Milky Way in the distance.

This is the thirty-ninth millennium in the distant darkness. The human empire still doesn't know what the Great Devourer is, and the space necromancers are also sleeping, but Russell has already begun to prepare to face the end.

In fact, the first conflict between human beings and the Tyranid Zerg, the major event known as the "First Tyrannian War" in history, should have occurred in the middle and late stages of the 41st millennium, that is, less than 2000 years later,

Even the name "Tyranids", which the empire at that time named after the Tyranid star where the Great Devourer was first discovered, does not exist now.

As far as Russell knew, the Legion of Martyrs led by Mirak vaguely called the swarm fleets that emerged from the darkness "alien swarms", a name similar to other worm aliens they had exterminated before.

And because there was no head-to-head confrontation, they even linked the subspace shielding effect of the shadow of the hive will with the subspace storm in the absence of information, inexplicably letting the evil god take the blame for the Great Devourer.

Later, it was suggested that this alien swarm may have mastered advanced technology to block warp navigation and communication.

Highlighting one without information is all about guesswork.

Perhaps, long before the empire first discovered the bug swarm on the planet Tyrannos, the tentacles of the Great Devourer had already extended to the far eastern border of the human empire, quietly eating and wiping out one fringe world after another without anyone knowing.

For example, if you say Ya, such a planet will not attract the slightest attention from the outside world whether it is dead or alive.

Russell's thoughts drifted apart, and he still had a longer-term vision for the critical base galaxy, and more than a thousand years were enough for any long-term planning and preparation.

Before the end of the era, he still has a lot to do...

Thinking of this, the battleship under Russell's feet turned on the jump engine, and then the bent space distorted the colorful and complicated galaxy in front of him.

When Russell left the critical base and returned to Falla, the battle nuns who were in charge of protecting or monitoring him a few days ago were kneeling in the church for punishment.

The girls were stripped of their power armor and jackets, tied with blood-stained thorn chains, naked and shamefully kneeling in front of the emperor's icon, and accepted the punishment of the nun's court officials. Their already scarred backs were covered with bloodstains.

Ritual whippings were followed by many lynchings within the Battle Sisters, and if nothing else, these girls would probably end up as shirtless Redemption Sisters, delivering benefits and violence to the enemy at the same time on the battlefield.

"They were punished because they were caught sleeping outside the office before."

Gray Wind, who became a COS prophetess, followed Russell in a slim white robe, and whispered, "But they were actually hypnotized by you, Marshal... Do you want to intercede for them?"

Russell was also a little uneasy, but soon, his guilt disappeared: "No need, if I ask for mercy, I will be hated by them instead."

"Huh?" Gray Wind was a little confused.

It curiously turned the visual sensor along the direction Russell was looking at, and then saw an unimaginable thing: the nuns who were whipped and reprimanded all over their bodies, not only did not have any pain on their faces, but there was such a trace of... a happy smile that was hard to detect.

This is so weird.

"For Battle Sisters, becoming a Sister of Redemption is not so much a punishment as a reward..." Russell bent down, leaned into Gray Wind's ear and whispered:
"Many Battle Sisters are even jealous of the Atonement Sisters, because they are bathed in the Emperor's favor, and even without clothes, they have a defense comparable to power armor. Some people even make mistakes on purpose, expecting to be sanctioned to become the Atonement Sisters, so as to narrow the distance between themselves and the Emperor."

Gray Wind was shocked.

"Don't be shocked, let's go."

Russell patted Gray Wind's face to wake it up from the shock, and then they left the scene of the execution of the Battle Sister silently, and returned to his loyal governor's mansion to continue to be the mascot.

The days after the war seemed calm and boring. Whether it was the ideal city project or the construction progress of the Seeker star base, they were progressing in an orderly and steady manner. All that was lacking was time.

Russell, who arranged all the tasks, was even more leisurely. Apart from chatting with Gray Wind and watering Bao'ao, he basically had nothing serious to do every day. He watched the battle moon collapsed into a lump of iron in its orbit and shattered day by day, and the ship fragments floating in space became thinner day by day, and time passed silently.

During the boring days, Russell spent most of his time planting trees. To be precise, he cultivated and planted Bao on the southern continent.

As one of the two largest main continents on Falla, the climate conditions in the southern continent are actually quite harsh.It is far less livable than the North Continent, and is generally used to exile prisoners and set up black prisons.

But the lack of resources forced the Fallas to take root here to endure the temperature difference between the cold and the hot diodes between day and night and various extreme environments, and dig mines to obtain thin mineral deposits.

After Russell took office, he did some construction on the mines in the southern continent. However, since the Adeptus Mechanics came to the Falla galaxy to start the large-scale infrastructure construction, the skilled workers in the mines in the southern continent were basically transferred to work in various space mining sites, or sent to develop the asteroid belt.

The deserted Southern Continent mine was only left with semi-automatic mining machines and a small number of maintenance personnel. Other than that, there was no popularity. Only Russell was bored and planted trees on it, and the effect was quite good. After being infected and mutated by orc spores, Bao gave Russell a small surprise: its cell division efficiency became extremely efficient.

After a few years of hard work, the magnificent forest gradually covered and replaced the mountains and rock formations with bare bedrock, and began to independently regulate the not-so-good climate in Faya.

In time, Falla will become a heavenly beautiful and comfortable Gaia planet.

 After writing 10 words, I found out that there is a bug, and I can't change it. Let's patch it.
