From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 435, Navigator Program

The plan of these rat engineers was successful. After accelerating again and again, this huge iron comet finally broke free from the gravitational pull of the gas giant and rushed towards the vast and empty starry sky again. Of course, this was not possible. The small ships placed on the meteorite began to reverse thrust, and began to slow down the comet, until it finally slowly stopped and was successfully captured by the Ratman First Expedition Fleet.

With sufficient resources, the industrial zone in the flagship began to recover, the damage on the outer armor was finally repaired, and various preparations were carried out in full swing. The Ratman First Expeditionary Fleet began to press towards the yellow desert planet in front of them.

In fact, before the first expeditionary fleet completely arrived, another group of advance troops had already begun their actions, namely the ratman reconnaissance teams.

They have a heavy task ahead of them, and are responsible for completing the testing of various data on this desert planet before the colonial war officially breaks out.

The rat people are a true cosmic race after all. You could say that their technology tree is crooked and strange, but in the colonization of the six planets on the Sacred Road and the initial environmental transformation, they took all the losses they deserved and also lit up almost all the technologies related to interstellar colonization.

The detection of atmospheric composition of strange planets, the assessment of extreme climate, and the monitoring of crustal activity, among which the atmospheric composition is the most important indicator in the colonization stage, will determine whether the rat people can carry out activities on this planet smoothly, whether they can land from the starry sky wearing a simple oxygen supply system and holding weapons, or go into battle lightly with weapons in hand.

Of course, the remaining two items are equally critical.

The assessment of the extreme short-term climate will determine the Skaven's activity strategy on this planet and the value of this planet.

Monitoring of crustal activity is to prevent the rats from building major cities directly on dangerous earthquake zones and active volcanoes.

These are all very important data. Although the First Expeditionary Fleet has the data collected by the first group of ratmen who arrived here and those ratman exploration ships, it is obvious that the colonization plan of the First Expeditionary Fleet cannot be fully determined by relying on this ratman data from many years ago.

The mission of these reconnaissance teams alone is not limited to this. They also have to explore the star systems of the indigenous peoples on this planet, observe their civilization structure, assess their military strength level, civilization status, collect languages, and preliminarily determine valuable areas and areas suitable for the first round of landings. These are what they have to do.

Carrying supplies, during a mobilization, these pioneers were extremely excited and boarded the small reconnaissance ships screaming. Times have indeed changed. In the past, such vanguard troops were difficult to mobilize, and only death and spears could make them rush to the battlefield screaming.

The headquarters' small reconnaissance ship left the First Expedition Fleet like a meteor and rushed towards the desert planet in front of it.

The distances in the starry sky are extremely vast, but don't be afraid, these small reconnaissance ships are special models, equipped with small psychic engines and have the ability to jump into subspace.

Of course, the level and capabilities of these small reconnaissance ships only allow them to afford short-range jumps, but even so, they can greatly reduce their travel time.

A large number of young ratmen felt something was wrong when they first broke into the subspace where the star fields intersect.

The subspace in this area is extremely chaotic. Monsters, disordered passages, and distorted space can be seen almost everywhere here.

This is not a good phenomenon, as it means that it is difficult for the subspace in this area to find a stable area to establish direct contact with the Skaven Empire far away.

Perhaps even if the Ratman Empire takes control of this planet in the future, every time they travel back and forth, they can only appear from outside the galaxy and rush here with great difficulty.

Such a situation would probably greatly reduce the value of this planet to the Ratman Empire, but this has nothing to do with these reconnaissance teams. This is not something they need to worry about. They only need to act as pioneers like warriors and provide enough information to the First Expedition Fleet behind them.

Just as the rats broke into this chaotic subspace, the things that were entrenched and accumulated in this chaotic subspace also saw the rats.

However, compared to the gerbils who have no ability to resist these subspace disasters, the rats are familiar with these guys and have no fear of them.

The psychic engine was stimulated to the limit under the driver's push. When the ratmen had the ability to manufacture psychic engines, or in other words, magic engines, they had the ability to disturb the subspace when they were able to manufacture these things.
At this moment, each of these ratman reconnaissance teams was like a torch that was suddenly lit in the subspace. They were very tempting, and at the same time, they were able to burn and expel the weak guys in the subspace.

These weak and not powerful enough spirits of the Warp were not a danger to them.

The real danger is those big guys, but now, the ratman reconnaissance team has begun to speed up. In the violent blue tail flame, these guys are running wildly in this subspace like wild horses, and then disappear in an instant and return to the physical world.

Rat people and gerbil people both belong to the big family of rat people, but they have different fates.

The Ratman Empire is more luxurious and has more capital than the gerbils. After all, an unknown god left a large inheritance to this group of noisy guys before leaving.

Psykers, those ratmen with natural magical talents, sacred channels, large amounts of ether, and the greedy aggregate of ratmen who are so obedient that they dare not get angry at all.

None of these are things that gerbils dare to imagine; it's too extravagant.

The rat people were so extravagant that they could boldly explore the subspace as soon as they stepped out of the starry sky, and even conducted bold research on those strange-looking subspace spirits.

It may be hard for you to imagine the research scenes of the royal engineers of the Skaven Empire on the spirits of the Warp.

These crazy guys carried their exaggerated ether bombs and chased the warp spirits in the warp while cursing.

"Quick! Stop it now, you bastard! It's time to sacrifice yourself for science! It's time to sacrifice yourself for the great Spirit of Gears!"

In the warp, a ratman engineer with mixed emotions who found the warp spirit extremely delicious was cursing madly while chasing the warp spirit not far away.

Can you imagine, this Warp Spirit born out of anger and greed, a guy with a very bad temper, was chased by those crazy ratmen engineers and shed tears of grievance?

This is unique no matter where it is placed. It can even be said that the Skaven Empire's anti-star weapon Soul Scream was upgraded bit by bit in such an application scenario.

Of course, it must be admitted that the Warp is always a dangerous place, and the death rate of all crazy Skaven engineers who do such things is the highest among the Royal Engineers of the Skaven Empire.

But it was not without results. At least they really captured a lot of warp spirits. They used ether, also known as soul gems, to build a warp prison on the fortress star and began crazy experiments on these strange warp spirits.

The Navigator Project and the Prophet Project are their latest achievements. These guys are trying to inject the power of the Warp Spirits into the psychic genes in the Skaven's bloodline to create a group of real Skaven prophets, a group of navigators who can guide the Skaven fleet in the chaotic Warp. The results are very close. If these crazy Skaven engineers knew that the Gerbils were destroyed because of the invasion of the Warp Spirits, they would definitely laugh at and humiliate these stupid guys.

You must know that the next big move of these crazy guys is to knock out a permanent subspace channel on the fortress star, the capital of the Ratman Empire.

It is difficult to judge how suicidal such behavior is, but everything depends on comparison. Look at the gerbils, they were not so suicidal, but they still failed. Even though their technology was not necessarily worse than that of the rats, and they walked much more steadily than the rats, they were still almost taken away by a wave.

What’s the use of climbing the technology tree steadily? Do you have a background, do you have a boss, do you have Yu Ze?

In such a turbulent era, there is no doubt that the right way is to grasp both the physical universe and the subspace with both hands and to be strong in both!
The rat people are currently running wildly on this righteous path, and we rat people are thriving!
Through repeated short-distance warp jumps, the ratmen reconnaissance team gradually approached the desert planet, suffering many casualties. The warp is always dangerous.

At this time, only half of the ratman reconnaissance team that arrived outside the yellow planet was left.

Without much hesitation, these guys rushed towards the yellow planet in front of them.

One of the Skaven reconnaissance ships.

This was a ratman reconnaissance ship carrying a five-man team. Under the control of the pilot, the reconnaissance ship dived towards the planet in front of it in a high-speed gliding posture.

This is a very risky move. After all, this antique has been lying in the hangar for nearly twenty years, and it was only pulled out for an emergency maintenance last month.

Many of the Skaven scout ships that fell into the Warp were caused by warship malfunctions.

At this moment, you shouldn't even bet on whether this old guy, which is older than you, can stop, not to mention that these guys are still performing an extremely dangerous high-speed dive.

Even if the engine is turned off, the gravity of the planet will spontaneously help the intruding warship to increase its speed, rushing through the wide open outer space and entering the atmosphere. Under the high-speed friction, the outer shell of the warship began to heat up, and the wings of the warship swept across the sky, leaving two white traces. In the warship, the new generation of spacemen began to cheer.

The world in front of him was extremely vast and more interesting than the flagship that seemed to never change.

Rats aren't all wimps, especially when they take to the stars.

A lot of useful data was detected by these reconnaissance teams flying across the sky.

The atmosphere is standard and can be breathed directly by the rat people. The climate is not too extreme. At least there are no horrible heavy rains that will last for hundreds or thousands of years, or thunderstorms, or horrible fires that are difficult to extinguish, or high temperatures.

The crust is still active, but with no supervolcanoes on the verge of eruption, the young planet is becoming more stable and peaceful.

This is a very suitable planet, a very suitable planet. Except for one indicator being slightly high, there are no other problems.

That abnormally high radiation.

Five hundred years have passed, and the radiation left over from that horrific nuclear war has not yet been completely eliminated.

But it doesn't matter, the rat people are not afraid of radiation.

This is not something that can cause death quickly. It is even something that can be exempted as long as the physical fitness is high enough.

The determination of the data and the suitability of this planet saved the rat people a lot of effort.

Of course, even if it is not so suitable, even if the situation on this planet is extremely bad, it will not affect Qi's determination. As long as the rat people can exist on this planet, even if they exist in pain and struggle, he will occupy this planet without hesitation.

This is not just the decision of Qi alone, but also the intention of the Emperor Qi of the Empire.

In any case, this is the first expedition of the ratmen to colonize outside the Sacred Passage, and it must be successful and smooth!

Qi is the escort that Qi has found to ensure this.

Of course, things didn't develop to such a bad situation, and the planet was generally habitable for the rat people.

What follows is more about preparation for war.

The landing fleet is undergoing final preparations. A large number of war exoskeletons have been dispatched after simple maintenance. Magic tanks, armored vehicles, lightning towers, and even the flagship's main guns will provide sufficient support to the landing ground forces when necessary.

They even carried Soul Screams, and more than one.

If the natives of this planet are really too difficult to deal with, so difficult that even if the rats destroyed all the ground forces of the First Expeditionary Fleet, they would still not be able to complete the occupation.

Then releasing the soul scream and welcoming a world of silence is also one of the choices to be made.

Of course, launching Soul Scream is the last resort, and the Flag will not approve its launch unless it is absolutely necessary.

No weapon is without a price. The price behind Soul Scream's efficient cleansing of the planet is that the barrier between this area and the subspace will be permanently thinned.

Although no one can tell what problems this will cause, Qi does not want to face any unforeseen accidents.
