Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

Theoretically, there is no limit to the sages of Harder to manufacture a few Rand series vehicles. The only troublesome thing is the complicated process review behind it.

Although Siegel has the confidence to survive the review, every review is a risk.

There is no one who does not wet his shoes when he often walks by the river.

But after hearing what Muirses said before, Siegel really thought of one thing that needed the help of the other party.

"Actually, it's none of Father Meyer's business what I buy. As far as Harder is concerned, I, an outsider, can see that those empty decks and extinguished furnaces can't be hidden from other people's eyes. Muirsey Sage Si, I think Hader should reflect on his own problems." Siegel said this very ruthlessly, and even Muirses, who had a fake smile on his face, was a little embarrassed, "I I have no way or ability to solve Hader's problem, but I do have an order to ask the sages above Hader."

Muirses became interested. She leaned over and looked at Siegel: "Oh? What made you change your mind? It couldn't be me, could it?"

"It's not bad, what you said reminded me." Siegel said to her seriously: "I don't know, is Harder interested in taking on the ship transformation business?"

"Your moon-class ship? How do you plan to change it?"

"Similar to the modification of the mechanical ark, I think Harder should not be able to equip a newly promoted sage with a mechanical ark for the time being." Siegel considered this matter a long time ago, and the Golden Journey itself added A research room, servitor production line, and small foundry were installed to meet Mel's research needs.

But there is no doubt that this has reduced the combat capability of the Golden Journey to a certain extent. Considering that they will have three cruisers on the list after they return to Sintila, Siegel thought about it and converted the Golden Journey into May Er's Mechanical Ark.

A dedicated mechanical ark provides support services for the entire fleet, and the large warehouses and industrial devices on it can reduce the operating costs of the entire fleet.

Siegel is not very willing to do business in the development of raw materials and primary industrial products, or many rogue traders don't like to do this kind of business.Who doesn't like to return to the port of arrival with a ship full of alien treasures, with a passionate story, and finally return home with a ship full of gold ingots and throne coin certificates of deposit?

It's just that with the expansion of the dynasty and fleet power, Siegel also needs to prepare some stable sources of income in advance.Such as planetary colonization development, or void ore mining.With the rise of Mel's status within the Mechanicus, Siegel can operate more and more business content.

Of course, behind the establishment of all this is that he and Mel continue to live in this cold universe.

Muirses put away her smile and looked at Siegel seriously. She suddenly felt the taste of lemon in her mouth.No matter how much benefit a mechanical ark can bring to Siegel, the essence is that Siegel wants to give a ship to Mel.

Although trust is not worth mentioning to members of Mechanicus, Muirses still has some envy.

"...Alright," considering Harder's situation, Muirses accepted the request, "I will contact each furnace for you, and equip your ship with commonly used components inside the Mechanical Ark. Secretly Neva-type alchemy room, Atano-type refinery, Mackinaw-level mining equipment, and Azbel-type casting furnace, I will personally help you contact two Hephaestus-level ore seekers."

Even Siegel, who came back from the expansion area, felt pain when he heard the components provided by Muirses. It seemed that in order to retaliate against Siegel’s contempt for Harder, the things Muirses recommended were all rare good things. The only downside to these goodies is that they are expensive.

Oh, it's not their fault, it's Siegel's.

"...All right." Siegel thought for a while and agreed to Muirses's plan, after all, he was still rich.

"In that case, I won't accompany you anymore. I think your order is very urgent." The smile returned to Muirses's face, she stood up from the chair lightly, and turned around deftly, " And Mel's sage review will end soon. I'm afraid she doesn't want to see me by your side."

-

After Muirses left, Mel walked out of the review room when about half a Terra had passed, and Siegel knew the general result by seeing the usual confident smile on her face.

"It doesn't look like a big problem?"

"If Vidicus can meet me, I think his daughter will be found soon." Mel folded his hands on his chest and raised his eyebrows towards Siegel.

"I believe that." Siegel nodded.

"It will take about three months for the specific results to be determined." Mel said with some helplessness, "The records of my files have to be summarized and summarized, and a record must be sent to Sepramondi."

Siegel understands this very well. The huge number of clerks in the imperial government is to satisfy the need to record everything in the empire in detail.This kind of record is complicated, inefficient, and costly, but it also provides an important basis and inference for the empire to "summarize experience" afterwards.

[Oh shit, isn't there a sign here?Why didn't I see it before. 】

Is there any need to summarize this experience?angry.

Volume II Flax: Chapter [-] The Sage of Mel

Three months passed in a flash, and Siegel was quite surprised that he actually spent three months on Harder smoothly.Not strictly speaking, a team of Inquisitors boarded Harder and dealt with a Chaos-tainted faction of the Mechanicum with Heather, the Sage of Hadder's Crimson Guard.

About [-] members of Mechanicum were executed.

But this matter did not find Siegel, and his order was not affected. Is there anything more fortunate than this?

The cult-headed mechanical sage was stripped of all his mechanical implants and thrown into a static stand so that the defiler would feel the pain of his death forever.

Siegel took the opportunity to see how much biological tissue the sages generally had left.

The answer is not much. Among these corpses, those with more than 40% human tissue are considered fleshy.He watched as the scarlet guard threw the dismantled implant into holy water and soaked it in holy water, where it could continue to be used after a few years.I just don't know which little lucky guy these things will be cheaper.

Siegel looked familiar to the judge standing in front of the team, with gray hair and a short stature. Siegel probably guessed about the identity of the other party.

For his own peaceful life, Siegel didn't go forward to join in the fun, but just watched the Tribunal and the Mechanicus seal up a batch of Harder's small furnaces.

Unfortunately, Harder's situation did not improve with the eradication of a cult.

But as long as this thing doesn't affect Siegel's order, he doesn't want to get involved too much. After all, in the empire, turning a blind eye is also a kind of knowledge.

In addition to these lackluster little things, Siegel and the others are not without good things happening.

With the progress of Mel's sage review process, Mel's sage name has also been determined.

Magos Errant, similar to the rangers in Ark World, is a title specially given to those who have not determined their final research direction.

There is a big difference between the sage and the ordinary priest of the Mechanic Order, in terms of status, authority and resources.

Siegel watched as Mel replaced his holy vestment, a brand new Ax of Om Messiah, and a brand new armor.

Dragonscale Armor, this armor is only fitted to Tech Priests.Each set of dragonscale plates is individually hand-forged from adamantium and ceramic plating, and woven with prayer runes of perpetuality and etched with fractal defense spells, this armor offers protection equal to the best power armor.

The Dragonscale Armor's greatest advantage is that it is designed to interface directly with the neural interface at the Tech Priest's spine, drawing power from his lumen device.

Around Mel's neck hangs the Amulet of the Mechanicum's Cog Skull, a standard Mechanicus stance generator.

Mel is holding the sage's signature secret magic cane in his hand. There are exquisite integrated circuits hidden in the cane, and the bus signal is transmitted to the surface of the cane through gilt carvings.She no longer needs to communicate with those sleeping machine souls through MIU, she can reawaken the machine or machine servant with just a tap of the arcane staff (talent: just a tap).

Of course, the iconic servo skull of Lars World is also indispensable.Siegel was playing with the skull floating in front of him. This is a unique armed model in Lass World. This servo skull is larger than the usual models. It is equipped with energy coils, light laser cannons and integrated polarized position.

It is said that this thing can withstand a main battle tank shelling.

Well, supposedly.

Siegel can only feel that there are still many good things in Mechanics.

Seeing Mel, who was shotgun-changing all over his body, Siegel scratched his head. Mel might be able to hit several of himself now.

Maybe a dozen?

It doesn't matter, even if you can beat dozens of yourself.

"Speaking of which, you have become a sage, what are your plans next?" Siegel asked, looking at Mel who was showing off his new equipment.

"Of course, we will work hard towards the position of the ruling great sage. It would be even better if we can have a forged planet of our own." Mel said naturally: "It is not easy to achieve this goal, we have to work harder to explore the starry sky. Okay, if we can dig up a Necromancer's grave, we can probably achieve our goal within 100 years."

"So you haven't given up on poking the Necromancer's grave yet?" Siegel rubbed his forehead with a wry smile.

"Of course, a lifelong ideal! A mechanical life without a Necromancer is incomplete, and there is no bragging capital in the thinking matrix!" Mel straightened her chest, pressing one hand on her plump chest. superior.

To some extent, a forged planet may be much simpler than becoming a ruling great sage. After all, the forged world is a colony of the Mechanicus to some extent, as long as she sends the Mechanician’s gear flag to the planet before the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs finds out. Just plug it in.

How Mel plans to build this planet has become a matter within the Mechanicus.

It might be difficult to build a forged planet the size of Lucius, or even Russ, but a small forged planet that can hardly be burned by a furnace fire is still very easy.

Of course, according to Mel's mind, this kind of casting planet probably has no way to meet her requirements.

According to the news from Muirses, all the ship components he needs have come off the production line, and two casting furnaces have also been installed on the Golden Journey.

Various research rooms and experimental devices are also installed in a complete set.

A few days ago, Remulle had a very uncomfortable call with Siegel, because the emperor's shrine inside the ship had been transformed into the information temple of the god of all opportunities.

That should be annoyed, Lemuule didn't use holy promethium to directly burn the heads of the group of engine oil, even if she was rational.

Siegel could only promise to wait until she returned to Calixis to build her a larger Anglican chapel.

Oh, it's so hard for me.

"Is there anything else you need to do on Harder?"

"It's gone now, and I can't wait to step into the next adventure." Mel hinted that Siegel knew very well that even if she became a senior technician of Mechanicus, she still didn't want to leave her mentor. too close.

Siegel also felt that the enthusiasm of the sage of Vajhi was a bit abnormal, and he also agreed to leave this world as soon as possible.

But there is one more surprise for Mel.

-

"Even if you blindfold me, cover my body with a thick black cloth, and let Karoo press all the servo skulls, I can still feel that this is the dock where the Golden Journey is docked." Mel's disdainful voice When it came out, she seemed to be laughing at Siegel's fuss, but Siegel still heard a hint of expectation from her tone.

that's enough.

"Stretch out your hand and try to touch the thing in front of you. Can't you communicate with the machine soul? What is this?"

"What is this? Heh, you look down on the sages of the Mechanicum too much. This is gold... um..." Mel was about to say the name of the Golden Journey, but immediately stopped her voice. She could Feel the difference in the feeling that the machine soul gives her.

Siegel unfastened the blindfold, allowing Mel to see the brand new Golden Journey again.

Because of the close distance, Mel needs to feel the changes of the Golden Journey bit by bit

Foster's family crest was removed, the Mechanician's gear skull logo was installed, and various mining and repair equipment were stored around the hull, protected by armor plates.

Asteroid mining equipment, ice mining equipment, gas cloud mining equipment, ship maintenance equipment, plasma buckets, salvage systems.

The iconic equipment of Mechanical Ark is installed on this Lunar-class cruiser.

"Congratulations on becoming a sage, and I wish you to become a great sage of Mel as soon as possible." Siegel handed over the gemstone cane that symbolized the captain's status to Mel. Looking at her surprised face, Siegel suddenly felt that it was a waste of money It’s okay to have so many, “Golden Journey only has 4 macro guns on the side, and I didn’t install the space dock device.”

"Now, the Golden Journey is your 'mechanical ark'." Siegel has never discovered that Mel's emotions are so rich.

"Cough cough" Carew thoughtfully supported Siegel's back to prevent him from being hit by a newly promoted great sage.

After all, it is conceivable that Mel's weight is much "heavier" than it seems...

[However, it's worth it! 】

-

The space dock unit is a unit that can be used as a temporary spaceport after deployment, because it is too large and will occupy the side gun deck of the ship.

That is to say, the Golden Journey can basically be used as a bumper boat by pressing this thing.

Volume [-] of Flax: Chapter [-] Dynasty Fleet

There is a stable subspace route between Rath and Sintila, and even if it travels at sublight speed, the distance between the two galaxies is only a dozen years away.

This kind of fixed subspace channel is much easier to pass, and everyone on board had a relatively relaxed journey.This is a rare experience for rogue traders who have been traveling in space all year round.

Although seldom mentioned, each warp voyage is an adventure in itself. Although the fragile Geller position can protect those warp entity creatures from entering the interior of the ship, it cannot completely isolate the influence of the warp on the ship.

So this relaxing trip is indeed very rare, and I hope it hints at my good luck for the next period of time.

Siegel may indeed need some luck, as time has stepped into 808.M41.Siegel knew that after planning for so long in Flax, everything should come to an end.

But before going to Vraks, Siegel had to go back to Cintila, and he didn't intend to break into the sky above an arsenal world alone.

Besides, he went to Vraks to join in a carnival.

When the Golden Journey docked at the air port of Tarsus, the hive capital, not only the imperial fleet of the Calixis sector was moored in this galaxy, but also his family fleet of the Foster Dynasty.

The Golden Ship - Sole Carrier-class cruiser, Dream Journey and Zhongshan Celebration - Moon-class cruiser, the three cruisers have completed outfitting and sea trials, and are quietly parked in the airport.

At the same time, there is also a transport fleet of about 5 transport ships. The captains of these ships are either peripheral members of the Foster family or bounty captains who have signed a charter contract with the family.

They obeyed Siegel's order, abandoned their route at this time in 808, and returned to Sintila to wait for Siegel's new order.

Also docked in the port like the Foster Dynasty fleet is Jongkun Saul's merchant fleet.Siegel has never dared to underestimate this man who has achieved the top five in the expansion area by doing serious business. If he only considers the wealth of various dynasties, then he can probably sit firmly in the top two in the expansion area.

Siegel and Jon Kun met in Port Wandering, and they were depositing the scattered throne coins in Colleen's financial bank.After they finished saving their money, Justinian Colleen, who managed Port Roaming's finances, died unexpectedly, although the Colleen family quickly offered an irresistible bounty to track down the killer.

The bounty is frighteningly high. If it wasn't for lack of time, Siegel would also be interested in investigating it.

But the more important thing is yet to come. He invited Jon Kunsol to do a business in Port Roaming.

Regarding the equipment transfer business in the Vlax warehouse, Jon Kun seldom does arms business, but anyone is willing to do zero-cost arms business.

Siegel watched the huge fleet of the Saul Dynasty through the porthole of the bridge. The members of this huge fleet were almost without exception transport ships, mixed with some armed Q ships, heavy transport ships, and escort aircraft carriers. .

Jongkun has considerable influence in the small dynasties, and many small rogue dynasties are willing to escort Jongkun's large fleet in exchange for a lot of money.

In addition to the fixed route of the Saul dynasty, every time Jongkun Sol returns from the expansion area is a grand occasion.Every time Jon Kun returns to the empire, there are often no such magnificent stories. On the contrary, the goods carried by his huge fleet can smash the financial market of a planet.

Siegel was lucky enough to witness several trapeze feasts, which he still relishes to this day.

-

There are still many ship parts on the Golden Journey to be transferred to the new dynasty flagship, including many crew members of the Golden Journey, and the Mechanical Ark is maintained by members of the Mechanic Church and machine servants.

The sleeping Dauntless stayed on the Golden Journey for the time being, after all only Mel could wake him up.
