Infinite Metaverse

Orbital space of Cordela.

From the planetary surface to the orbital space, the atmosphere and space are full of giant rocks of various sizes wrapped in soil. These giant rocks are floating up and down in the chaotic gravity, and are pulled up by the gravity weapons of the battle moon, and fall down under the gravity of the planet.

The battle moon has created countless huge pits on the surface of Cordela that can be seen in space. The surface of the planet is like being gnawed by teeth. These huge pits have now become a series of irregular giant rocks floating in the orbital space, blocking the joint fleet and the battle moon.

At this time, the battleship Rectification is swimming through countless crustal fragments that cover the sky and the sun. This is not an easy task for a twelve-kilometer-long space giant ship, and the same is true for other battleships around it. Fortunately, the Rectification does not need to avoid every piece of crustal fragments. Those with smaller sizes can be directly smashed or smashed with light spear macro cannons. Only those giant crustal fragments need to be avoided by maneuvering.

The Supremacy sank suddenly, narrowly avoiding a crustal fragment with a diameter of several hundred kilometers, then moved sideways and accelerated instantly, passing through a narrowing gap, like a giant whale dancing between icebergs.

With such a large maneuver, the gravity simulator inside the battleship did not even have time to adapt to the instantaneous change in inertia. The mortal crew who had just grabbed the edge of the table and stood firm was thrown out again without warning, rolled on the floor for several rounds in embarrassment, and immediately returned to their work station by rolling and crawling.

Fu Qinghai sat steadily in the middle of the captain's chair, looking up and glancing at the top of his head. A giant crustal fragment quickly passed through the armored glass dome, and the shadow cast by it darkened the entire bridge. Retracting his gaze and looking straight ahead, he saw a rock with soil smashed on the light spear turret on the ridge of the ship, and another hard rock took away a signal antenna spire on the outer shell of the battleship and rolled behind him.

Fu Qinghai was indifferent to all of this.

His eyes were fixed on a line of numbers on the screen:

"Distance to the Battle Moon, 7349452..."

The green characters jumped and shrank at a very fast speed.

"Is the teleportation deck ready?"

Fu Qinghai said calmly.

"The teleportation deck and the first company are ready."

Qingming answered standing beside him.

The basic tactical requirement of the Iron Pagoda Corps is that the Space Marines cannot teleport and board before establishing a teleportation beacon, but now is a special case, and Fu Qinghai intends to directly initiate teleportation and boarding. The target of the Battle Moon is very large, so large that as long as the Space Marines successfully teleport to the surface of the Battle Moon, the error of dozens of meters will not affect anything, and the loss is within an acceptable range. On the contrary, the launch of assault boats, airdrop capsules and boarding torpedoes will most likely be intercepted by the ground artillery of the Battle Moon.

"Enter the teleportation and boarding distance."

The Thinker system issued a mechanical prompt sound.

"Start the boarding."

Fu Qinghai ordered.

...

The surface of the Battle Moon.

In the thin atmosphere, a group of green-skinned boys with thick necks and strong arms gathered in front of a giant squeaking cannon, staring at the screen in front of the technician boy, hoping that a light spot would appear on the cracked screen, a target that could be shot by the squeaking cannon.

This green-skinned version of the light spear was dismantled from a human warship. After the technician boy thought about it and modified it, its size has become a whole circle larger. The spiral coil-wrapped barrel pierces the sky, and the gun mount is surrounded by thick cables like snakes to power this giant laser weapon.

The surface of the battle moon is covered with tens of thousands of such cannons, as well as other orc-version macro cannons and torpedoes.

"Why haven't the shrimp warships appeared yet?"

A green boy shouted impatiently:

"Is your radar broken, Maglot?"

"They may need to bypass the rocks in the sky."

The technician scratched the sparse hair on his head:

"The rocks blocked the shrimp's crispy warships."

Just when they were looking forward to a brutal and exciting passionate exchange of fire with the human fleet, several white lights flashed, accompanied by a spicy and cold ether breath, and several black gold steel giants suddenly appeared around the gun mount. Before the green boys around the gun mount could react, the power lances flashing with arcs chopped down directly, and the orcs gathered together were instantly cut apart along with the surrounding cables.

The gun mount was instantly covered with organs and blood.

The orcs in other fortresses on the surface realized that the Space Marines had arrived, and they picked up their weapons and pulled the triggers at this side. The dense bullets of various calibers were blocked by an invisible film around the steel giants and fell to the ground.

Assessing the threat level as low, the group of Iron Pagoda Terminators actually shut down the atomic shield generator in the thick shoulder armor, which is a very energy-consuming device, and let the bullets hit the outer shell of the power armor. Bathed in the continuous dense barrage and the splashing orange-yellow fire lines, the Terminators walked towards the fortifications at a leisurely and unwavering slow pace, towards the orcs who rushed out of the tunnel with a howl.

The leading Terminator stepped forward suddenly, holding the power lance with both hands hanging at his waist and thrusting forward with force. The four strong greenskins who emerged from the tunnel were instantly pierced through, tied into a string of candied haws and hung on the lance pole. The Terminator pulled out the lance backwards, held the power lance in one hand and stood aside, raising the other hand to aim at the shooting hole of the bunker next to him.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The heavy explosive shells on the arms were poured into the shooting holes, and the greenskins and various debris in the bunker were instantly chopped up and smashed by the shrapnel bouncing around, turning into a spray of debris.

After clearing several bunkers and surrounding fortifications, some terminators continued to advance down the slope of the tunnel, while others stayed in place and began to deploy teleportation beacons.

…

The surface of the battle moon is blooming at the moment. The white scarred warriors used the cover of crustal fragments to reach the jumping distance and launched teleportation jumps one after another. As more and more space warriors descend on the surface, the paralysis of the weapon arrays on the surface of the battle moon is spreading uncontrollably. These surface defense systems against space battleships fail before they can fire.

At the same time, the final high-wall fleet was also bypassing this fragment of earth's crust and attacking the Battle Moon from other directions and angles, which also attracted a large portion of the surface firepower.

At this time, on the surface of the battle moon, at the temporary landing site built by the Iron Buddha warriors, two technical sergeants gathered together and were studying a slightly weird-looking weapon in their hands.

"The measured air density is 0.774kg/m."

A technical sergeant looked at the measuring instrument in his hand and said:

"40% lower than Kuitun's average air density."

"Sonic projectiles will become slower."

Another technical sergeant recorded while analyzing:

"But the attenuation of sonic energy will also be smaller."

This weapon is roughly cylindrical in shape and roughly the same size as a double-barreled melta cannon. In other words, even for a Space Marine, this is a heavy individual weapon that needs to be held with both hands. This weird weapon has no barrel, only a bud-shaped metal ball in the middle of the muzzle connected to the straight rod, and a circle of petal-shaped trapezoidal iron pieces around the muzzle. This circle of iron pieces expands or contracts to adjust the opening and closing of the muzzle. .

“These changes in environmental parameters need to be taken into account.”

The technical sergeant traced his fingers on the data tablet:

"Do I need to adjust the output power of the sound wave?"

"Don't use it for the time being. We will adjust it after testing."

Another technical sergeant opened his mouth and ordered:

"The sonic vibration frequency has been locked, target type: Ork Orcs. Now, all these sonic concussion cannons can be distributed to the frontline tactical teams, replacing the plasma annihilators, double-barreled melt cannons or fat man launchers they originally used. . At the same time, they were informed that according to Khan's requirements, all kill results caused by sonic weapons must be photographed and saved in the helmet eyepiece for analysis by Phaeton Forge World."

"clear."

The technical sergeant agreed. The mechanical tentacles behind him came around to take the recorded data tablet and put it into his backpack. The other two mechanical tentacles clamped the handle and handle of the sonic concussion cannon with iron pincers at the end, and lifted them aside.

Yes, the weapon Fu Qinghai is about to test on the battle moon is the sonic concussion cannon. The basic principle of this weapon comes from Wakanda. The Wakandans have long developed vibranium and used vibranium. They have also explored the fatal weakness of vibranium - sound waves, and used this to develop a technology tree for sonic weapons. Master Buck simply increased the power of this weapon to the point where it could match the intensity of war in the Warhammer 40K universe.

The sonic concussion cannon of the Iron Buddha Chapter is different from the sonic weapons of the Emperor's Children Noise Warriors, such as funeral speakers, doomsday whistles, deadly resonances and other noise weapons. These noise weapons are essentially a kind of psychic transmitter, and sound waves are only spiritual energy. Energy carrier, it is psychic energy that really causes damage.

The sonic concussion cannon is a kind of infrasonic weapon. The principle is to use low-frequency and high-energy mechanical transverse waves to resonate with human organs or brain nerves, causing the organs in the body to deform, shift, or even rupture, or to become depressed and confused, thus affecting the enemy's attack. Vital force causes damage.

Because the principle of killing is resonance, unlike conventional weapons that rely on kinetic energy or high temperature to kill, sonic weapons must find the special frequency that can resonate with the enemy's internal organs or brain nerves. This is why the sonic concussion cannon has been deployed on a large scale in the Iron Buddha Chapter a long time ago, but it has to wait until now to take it to the battlefield.

Because there were only two imaginary enemies of the sonic concussion cannon before: humans and space warriors. The frequency of the sonic waves was adjusted according to the internal organs and brain nerves of the two. During the Beast Wars, after conquering two battle moons and obtaining a large number of orc corpses and orc prisoners, Phaeton Tech-Priest conducted repeated tests and finally found the two frequencies that most easily resonated with the internal organs and brain nerves of the Orcs.

The Sonic Cannon can now be used against Orks.

…

Inside an underground passage in Battle Moon.

A tactical team of the Iron Buddha Chapter was replacing new heavy weapons. The Space Marine who was originally responsible for using the double-barreled melt cannon was replaced with a sonic concussion cannon. He lifted the handle on the back of the cannon barrel with one hand and buckled it with the other hand. Trigger on the grip.

"Set off."

The Space Marine sergeant waved forward.

The soldier carrying the sonic concussion cannon walked to the front of the team, and two soldiers carrying pulse bolt guns covered him on both sides. The tactical team took a short rest and changed gear before continuing to move forward. The winding passage ahead was empty except for the corpses of orcs on the ground. However, the Space Marine at the front adjusted the muzzle iron plate to rotate and unfold, and the muzzle faced the empty passage in front of him and actually pulled the trigger.

There were no fires or explosions. Circles of invisible ripples spread forward along the muzzle. It was visible to the naked eye that the air began to twist and stir, but the ears did not hear any sound. There was only the faint footsteps of the Space Marines in the passage.

The tactical team kept moving forward at a constant speed. The leader of the space warriors kept walking, his fingers holding the handle and the trigger. The circular ripples spread in front of them, echoing in the unmanned passage, and spreading deeper into the passage. .

…

At the same time, this passage was winding and spiraling seven or eight kilometers underground. An orc leader led his gang of thugs with flashy guns and boys with stolen guns, who were running forward quickly. They gathered a new group of good fighters and prepared to regroup to recapture the entrance to the passage occupied by the canned shrimp.

A group of grts followed at the feet of the green-skinned boys. They carried long ammunition chains on their thin shoulders, and their hands were pushing wheelbarrows filled with armor-piercing club thunder and fire club thunder. Their tongues were drooping from exhaustion. Panting, they must exert all their strength to keep up with the progress of the green boys.

Suddenly, the orc leader stopped.

A grunt behind him who was struggling to push the cart couldn't react in time. He pushed the wheelbarrow ammunition cart and hit the boss's calf. The bullets and bombs in the cart were scattered all over the floor. The fart was so frightened that he trembled all over. He froze in place and looked up, fearing that the angry boss would kick him to death.

However, the orc leader ignored the reckless fart at his feet. It narrowed its scarlet eyes, and the two small pointed ears on the side of its huge head kept twitching. The orc leader seemed to hear something, but he couldn't hear it clearly. It was like tinnitus. It seemed to be a vague humming sound. The look in Scarlet Bean's eyes was cunning and hesitant.

“Pack it up and move on!”

The orc leader kicked Fart.

After a brief interlude, the orc team continued to move forward.

Then, the orc leader stopped again.

It covered its chest, pressed its broad palms hard on the composite plate armor on its chest, and began to rub it. The orc leader felt an indescribable sudden feeling of depression and nausea. He bent down and opened his fangs and mouth. His esophagus shrank violently, and he let out a muffled roar from deep in his throat:

"Ugh-"

The orc leader vomited out a large amount of the contents of his stomach bag, and a slime composed of bone fragments and meat residue spurted out like a waterfall.

"Ugh!" "Ugh!" "Ugh!"

Vomiting seemed to be contagious. All of a sudden, all the green-skinned boys began to bend over and vomit, and the muffled sound of esophageal convulsions echoed in the passage. A group of farts stood there and looked at each other in confusion. They didn't feel anything strange.

"Ugh, vomit, vomit, vomit, vomit, ugh-"

The orc leader has vomited all the contents of his stomach, drained his saliva, and vomited out his bile. He is still vomiting, and he is still vomiting... He lies on the ground weakly on all fours, and thick blood begins to flow from his mouth. , some small internal organs mixed with plasma were vomited out.

"Lao Da, Lao Da, what's wrong with you!?"

Grotto circled around the boss in bewilderment.

"Gurgling...burp, hiccup."

However, the orc leader no longer had any strength to answer the grt's words. It rolled on the ground, its abdomen and chest were filled with heartbreaking cramping pain and desperate suffocation. Its nose and throat were blocked by clots of blood, and its fingers were inserted into its nose and mouth. He scratched hard, trying to get even a ray of air.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Bang!" There was an explosion.

The orc leader's head exploded.

Its pain was ended.

"Da da da da da da!"

A large group of gun-wielding Space Marines rushed into this passage and began shooting at the kneeling Orks. The Orks did not put up any resistance and allowed the Space Marines to shoot their heads one by one. This was not a real battle, but a one-sided massacre. The Grot dropped the ammunition belt and cart from his shoulder and dispersed, but he was not immune to the fate of being chopped into pieces by the chainsword.

All the orcs in the passage were wiped out.

And the Space Marines suffered zero casualties.

When a new type of weapon is put on the battlefield for the first time, it can often produce such completely asymmetric results.

The same scene is playing out in many places in the battle moon, and the orcs are collapsing and disintegrating in the sound waves.

…

The battleship Suzheng.

Fu Qinghai stood in the center of the bridge with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the large and small screens around him. The servo skull intermittently transmitted back images of the front line. The shaking camera showed how the Space Marines in each channel used new weapons.

The Iron Buddha Fleet is now hovering over the Battle Moon, because the Battle Moon's ground defense system has been basically paralyzed and will no longer pose any threat to the fleet.

After the Iron Buddha Chapter took out the sonic concussion cannon, the Orcs were retreating on all fronts. They were completely unable to adapt to this new type of weapon that had greatly changed the traditional war model. They were caught off guard and suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Fu Qinghai lowered his head and glanced at the strategy table.

A holographic projection of the battle moon was suspended on the table. Countless thin blue lines spread deeply along the outlined channel, just like the pores of ink soaked into the paper. The small red dots representing the orcs collapsed and disappeared quickly at the touch.

The front was advancing so fast that it could be described as a complete collapse.

The way sonic weapons work is truly unique.

Fu Qinghai observed the battle scene and silently analyzed it.

First of all, the speed of sound waves is actually not fast, which depends on the propagation medium. The air in the Battle Moon is artificial air. The air is thin and very low in density. The speed of sound waves here is even slower. The speed of any ordinary bullet is faster than the speed of sound.

Secondly, the damage of sonic weapons is not direct, it can even be said to be a little slow. It cannot directly kill people with one shot like a bolt gun or laser gun. It is more like putting a layer on all enemies. DeBuff that continuously loses blood. This continuous negative state will not cause the enemy to die immediately, but will gradually lose its combat ability in the sound wave.

In other words, in a sudden face-to-face encounter, the sonic concussion cannon is almost useless. It cannot kill the enemy instantly. This weapon is more suitable for continuously suppressing and weakening the enemy from a distance.

Because the range of sonic weapons is very far. As we all know, the lower the frequency of sound waves, the farther they propagate. The infrasound waves generated by the explosion of artillery shells can travel 80 kilometers, and the infrasound waves generated by the explosion of hydrogen bombs can circle the earth several times. The sonic concussion cannon can attack enemies from dozens of kilometers away, and this attack is invisible and extremely difficult to detect.

As for silence, not necessarily. Because the hearing range of different species is different, for humans, sound waves with frequencies below 20 Hz are inaudible, but dogs can hear them. Sonic concussion cannons are silent for humans, but not necessarily for alien races such as Orks, Eldar, Tyranids, Kroot, etc.

In addition to their long range, another characteristic of sonic weapons is their very strong penetrating power. Unless the enemy knows in advance and prepares special sound-absorbing materials to build fortifications, trenches, bunkers, fortresses, city walls...including powered armor are useless for sonic attacks. Low-frequency sound waves penetrating these solid materials will only consume one A small amount of energy.

Therefore, sonic weapons have changed the traditional war model. Just imagine how terrifying it would be for people behind trench bunkers, people in fortresses, and people wrapped in armor to resist such an attack. However, loose and porous sound-absorbing materials are often not strong enough, and few people use these materials for the construction of military fortifications.

Theoretically, in addition to causing damage to the human body, sonic weapons can also cause damage to buildings. It's just that the damage comes more slowly. For example, if a sonic weapon uses extremely high power to continuously act on a dam or a city wall for several months, the resonance generated may only cause a few cracks in the city wall and dam, but will not immediately collapse. The prerequisite is to find The resonant frequency of this building.

For a war, this method can basically be ignored. The cost performance and feasibility are too low.

Summarize the advantages and disadvantages of sonic concussion cannon:

Disadvantages: Slow speed, slow damage.

Advantages: Long range, strong penetration.

Fu Qinghai touched his chin and concluded.

After this actual combat test, he already has some general ideas on how to deploy this weapon in the future.

…

"Hear the Emperor's gospel, you alien bastard!"

In the underground passage of the Battle Moon, the Iron Buddha warriors strode forward with a maniacal laugh while holding a sonic concussion cannon. The muzzle of the cannon was constantly releasing circles of circular sound waves. They watched the orcs wail, roll, twitch, and convulse in the sound waves, laughing. More and more rampant:

"You will be purified in the sound!"

New weapons are always exciting.

Especially its actual combat power is so amazing.

The battle brothers beside him rushed past him and rushed towards these orcs who had lost their combat effectiveness. They wielded chain swords and power swords and beheaded them easily. There was little resistance, and they were not even willing to waste explosive bombs and batteries on this.

The Iron Buddha Chapter's sonic concussion cannon can adjust the width of the sound beam by changing the iron ring around the muzzle, so that the sound waves can be concentrated in a straight line instead of spreading in all directions. This kind of directional sound wave technology is also available in the real world, and has been widely used by government departments in many countries, mostly used to expel protest demonstrators.

"Re-adjust the frequency of sonic vibrations."

The technical sergeant behind him said:

"Test the neural infrasound."

Infrasonic weapons can be divided into neural types and organ types. The space warriors have been emitting organ type infrasounds just now, and the vibration frequency mainly targets the internal organs of the orcs. Hearing the Techmarine's request, the Space Marine adjusted the frequency settings as instructed.

New sound waves blasted out from the muzzle.

The tactical team continued to advance rapidly.

The Space Marines immediately noticed that the orcs who were coughing up blood and vomiting under the effects of the sound waves began to show some kind of madness symptoms under the continued effects of the new sound waves. They were either insane and shooting wildly at everything around them regardless of whether they were friends or foes, or they were crazy. He wandered around in circles until he fainted and went into shock.

"The killing effect is not significant."

The Space Marine loudly reported what he saw:

"But it takes less time to take effect."

…

Battleship Suzheng, bridge.

Compared with organ-type infrasound, neural infrasound seems to be more effective in actual combat because the effect time is shorter.

Fu Qinghai analyzed the information coming back from the front line.

In fact, from the perspective of Orcs, they are not completely unable to resist sonic weapon attacks.

The thin air in the battle moon is artificially created. As long as the orcs choose to turn off the large air-making equipment in the battle moon and let the air escape into space, the sonic weapons will naturally not be able to work without the medium of transmission.

The Space Marines are not affected because they have the internal circulation breathing system of the power armor. However, in this way, all the orcs in the battle moon who are not equipped with fully enclosed power armor will suffocate due to the vacuum.

Fu Qinghai couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

Although this method hurts the enemy zero and hurts itself ten thousand.

But anyway, there is still a way, right?

"Hussar Battalion, prepare to deploy to the surface of Cadela."

Fu Qinghai leaned over and ordered to the communication channel:

"You have only one mission: find Vokhan."

During the process of boarding the battle moon, the Hussar Battalion in the three cavalry companies has always been used as a reserve force and has not been used, just for this moment: the battle moon has basically been determined to fall, and Fu Qinghai had better find Vokhan before everyone else and make some preparations for the subsequent action plan.

After being whipped and ravaged by the gravity storm weapons of the battle moon, the entire surface of the Kodra star must be in ruins, no less than being hit by an asteroid. In this case, the jet motorcycle cavalry is the best choice for searching for the gene original body. Fu Qinghai sent out a whole company.

"Understood, Khan."

The cavalry captain agreed straightforwardly.
