The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Regarding Ayahassuru's relatively cautious view, So Shyang did not express opposition or approval, but nodded slightly and smiled:

"Ayahassuru, the fact that you can voice these concerns shows that you are indeed considering the Legion. What if we destroy it?"

"Destroy it..."

As the Fleet Master of the White Templars, Ayahassuru undoubtedly felt the power of the Necron warships most keenly. However, as an Astartes, hatred for the alien had been imprinted on his spirit since the moment of his transformation.

"...but it's a bit of a pity."

Hearing this, So Shyang chuckled twice, stood up, and patted the other party's shoulder lightly.

"As the Fleet Master, Ayahassuru, you are very competent. Then take a look at this."

As he spoke, So Shyang beckoned, and a Xenotech Sage from Ekvorria walked over from a short distance away and activated a holographic image. The detailed structure of the tomb ship appeared in mid-air.

"This warship possesses fourteen lightning arc generator arrays, six gauss particle whip generators, thirty-two gauss annihilators, one hundred and forty gauss flux arc emission arrays, as well as a unique energy absorption device, an incredible portal, and devices capable of attacking enemy electronic equipment and personnel's nervous systems. All of these constitute a warship that even the Gloriana-class might not be able to defeat. But Ayahassuru, which type of technology do you think is the most dangerous?"

Ayahassuru thought for a moment, then replied:

"Probably, it's the one related to the warp."

"You're right, warp-related technology is the most dangerous, because the warp is full of malice and danger. But even so, no Imperial warship can avoid warp technology, whether it's the warp drive, the void shield, or the Navigational array... But on this alien ship, there isn't a trace of warp technology. So, compared to before, do you think the Necrons' warfare is more dangerous, or an Imperial warship?"

"Uh... then how does this warship maneuver across star systems? Does it just sail like this in realspace? Then wouldn't its speed be..."

"That's the secret that the Adeptus Mechanicus wants to research and crack. We don't need to worry about it. The current focus is that, although it's an alien warship, it doesn't carry anything related to the warp. Then where does the danger of an inanimate object come from? If it's not dangerous, then why can't we use alien weapons to fight aliens?"

At this time, the Sage interjected:

"I once repaired the Watch Fortress for the Deathwatch. Those Astartes used alien technology with great enthusiasm."

"But the Inquisition..."

Realizing what Ayahassuru was really worried about, So Shyang said meaningfully:

"We won't parade this thing around. As an unknown secret trump card, when it appears, no one will suspect that it's related to the Legion. In fact, what's more important is not its use value, but its research value."

"I fully agree with this. If we can unearth its useful technologies, such as engine technology and weapon technology, the power of our ships will be qualitatively improved, and even the technological level of mankind will leap forward. Legion Master, that Eldar fleet... Although I don't know much about Eldar ships, I have been observing their combat situation. I must admit that if that fleet were to attack us, we would have no power to fight back. If aliens have such powerful warships, then humans must have the means to fight against them. If we still rely on accumulating battle damage to exchange for victory as in the past, the Legion, the Imperium, humanity... will all have a day when they can't bear it."

Hearing the other party mention the Aeldari fleet, So Shyang also had to pretend to make a statement, saying with a serious expression:

"Yes, that Aeldari... Eldar fleet is indeed very powerful. If it weren't for them, we might have been slaughtered by the overwhelming Necron fleet. But this makes me even more vigilant, after all, these aliens are always mysterious and their goals are very unclear."

But perhaps encouraged by So Shyang, Ayahassuru became a little too "enthusiastic" in wanting to express his views.

"Legion Master, I always feel that this Eldar force is unusual. Although I haven't studied Eldar ships, I have roughly seen their ship shape diagrams in past studies. Those are data collected by the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Navy over thousands of years, but those warships... do not conform to any ship shape in my memory, and they don't look like the Eldar's mobile ark homes. The Empire's records have never shown such a large-scale Eldar fleet. Does this represent a brand-new Eldar force not recorded by the Empire? Are they suddenly appearing here just to attack the Necrons? Or are they spying on the Legion's strength? Or are they preparing for their attack? Do you think this matter needs to be reported to the Ordo Xenos?"

So Shyang was a little helpless, but he could only shake his head in denial in a serious manner.

"Of course not, otherwise these spoils of war, and the things in the Necron tomb, will be turned upside down by the Inquisition. The Legion has suffered such a huge loss this time, we can't have come for nothing."

"That's true, but this Eldar force..."

"Speaking of which, Ekvorria has been studying the Necrons for a long time. I have seen some forces in the Empire, such as the Officio Assassinorum and the Deathwatch, use Necron phase weapons, but I don't seem to have ever seen practical gauss weapons? Logically speaking, this thing should... not be that difficult, right?"

So Shyang decisively chose to change the subject. Hearing him ask this, the Sage directly ordered the servitors to carry over a gauss rifle used by an Immortal.

"Returning, my lord, we have indeed been researching this alien energy weapon, but currently we have only roughly deduced the operating principle of this weapon. Its essence is an asynchronous linear induction motor. When firing, it seems to generate a focused bipolar magnetic field. Any object targeted by the weapon, such as the human body, will be drawn towards the muzzle at the subatomic level. At the same time, there seems to be a powerful current pulse inside the weapon, which can form a magnetic field to strip the atoms that make up the target object to the weapon."

"Hmm... can this be understood as a super-strong molecular or even atomic vacuum cleaner compressed into the size of a light beam?"

"You can understand it that way. Moreover, we guess that this technology is also applied to many Necron devices. Manufacturing weapons may only be one of the uses of this technology. It is possible that the same principle is used by their miniature repair machines, only the function is reversed, from stripping to constructing."

"Then what is the difficulty in replicating this technology?"
