Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 203 Destroyers are a good civilization
The contents of the "Ultramar Agreement" and the announcements made by the Alliance quickly spread like wildfire to the twenty-one worlds surrounding Haven.

However, except for the Orta Mechanicus, which has already been in contact with the Alliance, and Cologne III, which is rich in rare crystals, only some planets that are already in chaos have responded to the Alliance's invitation out of desperation. The rulers of more worlds have remained indifferent to this.

However, Otto was not surprised by this result. Not long after the news was sent out, three vanguard fleets used to receive and maintain order were removed from the two systems of Senn and Hedwin respectively. Drawn out.

A total of 253 light battleships composed of destroyers and some modified imperial ships are the main naval force of the Ashes Alliance today, although destroyers are still used as the basic template.

However, after varying degrees of customization, these little guys, which are low-cost and easy to mass-produce, are perfectly qualified for different tasks. In the end, under the joint design of Otto and Hui Feng, these little guys with various functions were born. Different derivative models.

Take the [T34mini] for example, which was first discovered and is now the most produced model in the fleet. It is a standard example of an engine-mounted cannon. It carries a [kinetic energy cannon] with an enhanced range on its shoulders. As long as there are enough, T34 The artillery group can completely make all enemies climax at super long distances.

However, because the alliance currently does not have enough captain roles, and in order to avoid the problem of AI corruption as much as possible, Otto only configured the minimum automation system for these T34 destroyers.

Once put into the battlefield, they will directly obey the orders of the [Ravens]. They are one of the few command ships equipped with highly intelligent AI and equipped with advanced scanning systems. They are also sent by Otto to Michael and other original knights. Compared with the former, the cost of building the Ravens is quite high.

In order to deliver personnel and equipment to the planet's surface more safely, Otto also specially configured a planetary landing ship [Hercules] equipped with multiple point defense systems for the fleet, one with equipment slots filled with An iron bastard with excellent shield and armor survivability.

At the same time, the engines equipped by the above three types of warships are capable of traveling at faster than light speeds, and in terms of performance, they are far more powerful than the monkey version of the engine obtained by the empire.

In the end, a [Unicom] ship equipped with communication nodes and basic self-defense weapons was spread across several galaxies around Haiwen to form a flexible communication chain. In this way, even if there is a subspace storm on the way, these long-term The communication nodes of the legs can also leave the scope of the storm on their own, thus ensuring that the communication between the colonies can be as smooth as sending text messages in most cases.

However, these are not the most important. For an interstellar empire, how to communicate across star fields more quickly and effectively is also a question worth considering, in order to maximize the management efficiency between various colonies.

Considering the impact of the raging subspace storm, Otto did not choose to deploy the nodes used to extend the communication range on fixed planets or space stations. Instead, based on the principle of using them to death, he still used them to death. This important task is placed on the destroyers.

Therefore, Otto is not in a hurry to further upgrade the fleet at this stage. After all, destroyers are too easy to use. Moreover, according to the experience in the stars, the cost of a cruiser is more than six times that of a destroyer. Not to mention battleships.

These problems will naturally have to be put aside until the territory construction achieves results and alloy production is effectively increased.

I don't know how long it took. Accompanied by a team of Cyrus guards who were genetically modified and equipped with gorgeous equipment, Otto and others took a shuttle to an extremely secret fortress located on the Haven 4 satellite.

While the Alliance fleet was still gathering and preparing, he still had some things he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to confirm.

When the airlock door slowly opened, and a group of people formally entered the huge building built under the satellite, they heard a slightly childish voice coming from the bright hall behind the gate.

"Lord Otto, why are you here?" The person who spoke was a girl with short hair. She was wearing a set of brown and linen acolyte robes, and around her waist was a bandage with scriptures written on it. The belt made her look like a religious figure. At this time, she was staring in the direction of Otto with a surprised and nervous expression, with a hint of uneasiness and fear in her eyes.

Looking at the psychic suppressor worn around the girl's neck, she saw that the other party was the girl named Loli who had been following Mardo not long ago. She was one of the Four Little Strongmen in the Lower Nest, and she was also a somewhat strange illegal person. Psykers.

At first, it was the other party who first predicted the arrival of the black fleet and warned Otto. Unfortunately, he did not take it to heart at that time. However, the facts proved that the other party was right. It does have some kind of prophetic ability.

But strangely, according to subsequent questioning, the girl named Loli insisted that those prophecies were not "seen" by her own eyes, but that a voice had been telling her what was going to happen. things.

That voice repeated Otto's name in her ears many times, even though at that time Loli didn't know the owner of this name at all.

It was after this incident that out of curiosity, Otto made contact with the Blood Angels, which had a large number of think tanks, before heading to Macragge. In the end, both parties worked together to build this specialized facility on the satellite. A monastic fortress used for the study and containment of illegal psykers.

Since the completion of the fortress, all subsequent awakened beings who appear in the Haven system will be forcibly sent to this closed containment center to prevent these illegal psykers from causing irreparable damage to the planet. disaster.

As for Loli, she is one of the more special objects of observation. The purpose of Otto keeping her here is to explore what kind of secrets she has.

"I want to know what that voice said to you during this time. If possible, I hope to be able to communicate directly with the other party again through you, just like the previous times."

The person Otto mentioned that he wanted to negotiate with was the strange voice in Loli's mind. During the previous communication with Loli, the owner of the voice seemed to have shown a strong interest in him. .

It's just that Loli's mental state has been tortured by the voice and is somewhat unstable, so the previous attempts to communicate have ultimately failed.

Now, after receiving training from think tanks for nearly a month, maybe this situation will change slightly?
However, after hearing such a request, Luo Li, who felt hopeless, suddenly became aggrieved, and then she said something reluctantly.

"But."

"That's going to hurt."
