How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 187 This is it
Unexpectedly, this fleet sailed through the entire subspace—that is, from setting off, jumping into subspace, to sailing, confirming the position, and then jumping out of subspace and arriving at the target galaxy. During this entire process— —Nothing went wrong.

Everything is normal, even to the point of being bland.The damage that has inevitably occurred in every warp voyage since the Great Rift opened is also very minor.It was as if they were not advancing in the chaotic, violent, unpredictable, and directionless subspace ocean currents on the dark side of the Empire, but were returning to the Great Crusade in a trance, when the subspace was almost calm and the empire's fleet could move in it. The age of wanton sailing.

Considering that the course from Medusa to Jericho itself is almost directed towards the Eye of Terror, this fact becomes even more mysterious.

Various aspects of the fleet have provided some explanations for this phenomenon from their own perspectives. Some believe that this is just an accidental phenomenon, and some are trying to find variables during this voyage.There were also a few very outrageous speculations that were so outrageous that they were eliminated internally by the Iron Hands themselves before they could reach Ferus's ears.

In fact, there is nothing mysterious about the answer.It may be an accident that the subspace happens to be calm, but the accuracy of navigation is only due to the more than half a year he stayed on the Claw of Destruction. Ferrus Manus has successfully copied in the real universe the ability to barely The "Paper Moon" navigation system was used and installed on the flagship Iron Fist during the voyage and began to be put into use.

Of course, compared with the genuine "Flat Moon", it has great shortcomings in terms of observation performance, ease of use, stability and computing power, but for the current empire, it is good enough.What's more, as a product of another world, the "Flat Moon" will most likely be an orphan product, while the "Paper Moon" made entirely based on imperial technology has the possibility of mass production.

Ferus judged that there was still room for further optimization of this prototype, and it might take some time before he would reveal it to the Adeptus Mechanicus cooperating with the Chapter and instruct them to try to make related STCs.

Back to the present moment: The fleet headed by the Iron Fist safely jumped out of the subspace from the Mandeville Point in the target system and began to search for Jerick's location in this inaccessible area.This part of the work went very smoothly. The position of the planet has indeed changed naturally over thousands of years, but in the end it still cannot escape the calculations of the Iron Hands and the observations of Debit.The fleet's auspicious device happened to catch its reflected signal at a suitable distance, and all the ships began to move towards it in a dense and orderly formation.

Next comes the most exciting, but most likely to go wrong, part of the entire process: Ferrus Manus must send a signal to shut down the orbital defense system of the Mimir Vault as he approaches the planet. .At that time, in order to prevent the forbidden equipment stored in it and the knowledge that should not appear in the world from leaking out, Gorgon designed a very strict and terrifying security system for his warehouse - such as approaching the orbit of the planet in the void Anti-aircraft firepower that burns all the ships on board to ashes, or a weapon that can inadvertently seize the orbiting fleet in a space sense, drag the entire fleet to the planet, cause it to crash, and destroy the treasure trove itself along with it. .

After Istvaan V, some Iron Hand clans tried to overcome the obstacles set by their primarch. Even if they succeeded, they were without exception and suffered a serious blow.For Ferus himself, this loss is unnecessary - he does not want to unlock some forbidden knowledge, but just needs to take away a collection that he currently needs to use.

Although he knew that there must be many people in this fleet who did not think so.

The protective measures built by the original body are extremely exquisite, but now that 1 years have passed and no one has maintained them during this period, will these exquisite protective measures still operate as smoothly as before? Almost everyone in the fleet No one has confidence in their hearts - except for Ferrus Manus himself. Gorgon obviously has strong confidence in his past works.

The original body stood on the bridge, facing the console on the Iron Fist that had no decorations, even the shell was sparse, and the Thinker array was also exposed with cables. He inserted the data interface on the backpack into it. , personally looking at the data flowing like a waterfall on the screen.The Avni clan was guarding him, holding their breath and not relaxing for a moment.But even the most experienced and knowledgeable veterans among them realized with both despair and relief that no matter how much flesh and blood they sacrificed and how many mind extension modifications they added to themselves, they would never be able to keep up with the thinking speed of the original body.

In the band that is invisible to the naked eye, the Iron Fist is receiving and feeding back data with extremely high efficiency.The beeping sound of the auspicious instrument is heard continuously, and each beep represents a key authentication and the sending and receiving of information that the request has passed.The Primarch of the Iron Hands is relying on this process to dismantle the defense system around the planet. This involves too many links of ciphertext, nested calculations, and reliance on pseudo-random numbers that only Ferus himself knows the rules of. Generated passwords, complex decoding sequences, and tight time limits for each authentication process.No one but the Primarch possesses the mental capacity to decipher this complex algorithm, and some of the certificates only Ferrus himself knows how to decipher.And even if another Primarch manages to pass all the above steps, he still has to face the last decisive method of authentication: fingerprints.

This may sound ridiculous.Although fingerprint authentication still exists in today's empire, the reason why it has not completely disappeared is more for convenience than security.Moreover, because it is too easy to forge a person's fingerprints, in areas where fingerprint authentication is used, it is recognized even among mortals that it should at least be combined with several other authentication methods, such as retinal authentication or voiceprint authentication. etc. for common use.

However, the problem was completely different here with Ferrus Manus: even if someone could forge the fingerprints of a primarch, they could not forge the special living metal material on the fingertips of the "Iron Hands".

Unlike his brothers and heirs, no armor can be stronger and more reliable than the metals that are integrated with him. Therefore, the power armor components Ferrus wears do not include arm guards and gauntlets.He pressed his bare palms, reflecting the silvery white shimmer, onto the scanning platform, and the platform immediately began to rigorously and meticulously analyze and scan all the data on it.

The Thinker Array analyzed much more data than conventional fingerprint authentication, and in an instant classified and packaged them according to the rules established by the original body ten thousand years ago, and transmitted them to the defense system around Jerik.The latter unpacks the data in seconds and confirms that everything matches the preset program.So in the end, the prompt "All certifications passed" popped up on the console screen in the bridge of the Iron Fist, and the sharp blade guarding Mimir's treasure house was finally sheathed by its true owner.

Ten thousand years of neglect was not enough to defeat the ingenuity of a Primarch, and the fortifications designed and built by Ferus during the Great Crusade still functioned with impeccable smoothness.

The moment this prompt popped up, a sigh of "relief" came from the entire bridge.That was obviously not what Ferus himself made. He himself had never doubted whether his work would work smoothly - it was several Terminators of the Avni clan who made this sound.Although they were compared horizontally inside the Iron Hands, and it was surprising that they could still have such feelings in their extremely mechanized bodies, but this also explained why there was some sound of metal vibration in the sigh. .

This little episode made the warriors who couldn't help sighing unconsciously feel panic and embarrassment, but the original body's attitude of laughing it off warmed the atmosphere on the bridge again.The entire fleet safely and smoothly arrived at Jerrick's planetary orbit. After successfully ensuring the synchronization of the earth's orbit without any setbacks, the entire fleet began preparations for orbit-to-earth delivery.

The whole process went smoothly, and there were no difficulties that could be described as twists and turns.Smoothness is of course a good thing, but it also makes some suspicious people whisper:
Was their trip a little too smooth?

　　Where did the sex change rumors come from!It's not absolutely impossible for me to do this kind of thing, but if I want to do it, it must be in the extra chapter that I was warned in advance!By the way, I have no plans to write this kind of extra story so far!
　　(The confused seal who still didn’t know where the rumor came from silently went back)
