Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

"Oh, and then what?"

"It's not flammable, and it's afraid of high temperatures, that's why flame weapons have such a good effect!"

"You seem to have said this conclusion before, sage! Think of something useful!"

"It will proliferate rapidly after ingesting energy, maybe this thing can fill most of the space building."

"It's really good news. At least we still have half a space left to search."

"I had my servitor come over with fuel, we might need to burn it in."

"Let everyone put on the void suit before coming in!" Siegel suddenly thought of something, and said to Skadi with the communication beads: "Tell everyone who is going to come in next, those who are not wearing the void suit are not allowed to enter !"

-

Siegel did not expect that a temporary exploratory operation would give him the feeling of entering the auction house.

Let's see if he can burn this huge monster clean or the promethium reserves on the ship will be used up first.

More commandos and armed sailors entered this space building, and it was at that moment that Siegel realized why there were so many deck ghouls.

In order to deal with this monster, they need more soldiers to join the battle, and if they lack protection, they will be exposed to radiation. He has a hunch that he may see the radiation source next.

-

With the use of promethium to continuously burn the monster at high temperature, Siegel and the others went from being unable to advance an inch to starting to move forward, and then to the position where the bridge of the space station was located. In the end, this huge monster was effectively suppressed. About half a liter of this creature was left, and other forks and various ventilation duct openings were staffed to guard them.

Now they have to seize the time to explore the entire bridge, and every second spent building in this space is piled up with throne coins.

Mel used the machine servant to pack the remaining biological samples into a static stand, and Siegel also saw the radiation source that transformed people into deck ghouls.

A green crystal about the size of a human head fell to the ground.

At Siegel's request, everyone wore chemical protective clothing with three-proof functions, and the detection equipment on his body was frantically calling the police.

The radiation here is enough to kill a normal person, someone who can turn into a deck ghoul, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad luck.

Siegel thought it was an item of ribs at first glance, but the green color is not the same as the ribs.

He wasn't quite sure what it was either.

The Imperium's need for radioactive material was extremely limited, as most technologies to exploit its properties were obsolete before the Great Crusade.All research on radioactive materials belongs to the most obscure branches of the Mechanicum, and they may pay an unexpected price for these things.

It boils down to luck.

But if you want to continue to explore the bridge, this thing must be recovered, and the recovery work is also handed over to the members of the Mechanicus. As for Mel, she has already started to connect the core thinker module of the space station.

Siegel and Remulle searched for valuable things in other spaces of the bridge. There were more crispy-shell corpses on the bridge than outside, and many of the things on it were worth collecting.

For example, there must be a lot of valuables on the body of a Harlock dynasty captain, or a large number of Dark Eldar corpses who died in other locations.

He found the last captain who arrived at this space building. Siegel took off the dog tag on the corpse's neck. It was indeed a member of the Harlock family. The outline of the corpse looked like a female captain.

Siegel took off the saber from the corpse, and the opponent's arm was also broken, so he picked up the ring and other jewelry by the way.

He pulled out his saber, which was a power sword of superb craftsmanship, with the Harlock family's coat of arms on it, including the name of its owner written on the back of the ring.

As a legendary Rogue Trader family, Harlock's legacy is still the ultimate dream pursued by countless adventurers in Calixis. These things are highly collectible and easy to sell, so there is no reason to let them go.

Of course, Siegel also found more collectible items.

The captain's logbook.

Volume III Fear Pearls: Chapter [-] The Microbiome

Siegel shook the logbook carried by the dead captain lightly, and some dust and pages fell out of it.

Siegel also has the habit of keeping a logbook. Let’s just call it a logbook. It is mainly recorded and organized by the servo skull.

But it's better than nothing.

He opened this notebook, and the time recorded on it began to be 634, M41. Siegel began to quickly browse through it

content, he quickly found out about the content encountered in this expedition.

[We found a research space station of a dead Mechanicus sage on the orbit of a dead world. After cleaning up the defenses in it, the sage Muller found a sticky microbial colony from it.According to him, this is a microbial population from the dark age of technology, the product of the Frankensteins at that time. 】

[According to the research records of the dead sages, this microbial group is a way to repair and revive the dead world. The sticky state can attach to planets under different gravity conditions, and the rapid proliferation allows them to survive in a short period of time. Covers the entire planet.As long as the formulated feed is put in, these microbial clusters will release suitable atmospheric components. In about ten years, a dead planet that has been emptied of atmosphere or surrounded by highly toxic gases will be covered with a thick atmosphere that can be used for biological survival. . 】

[The next step is to use high temperature to empty these microbial clusters, and there will be a ready-made soil base for planting and cultivating new ecosystems.This is a time-consuming, but relatively cheap planet repair method. From a dead planet to an arid planet, it seems that the Dark Age of Technology also has technological products that focus on cost and efficiency. 】

[I later asked the sage Muller what to do if I don’t want a dry planet, and his answer was quite to my liking, throwing money at me.Bring seawater and freshwater resources from the ocean world, and transfer species from other worlds to directly build ecosystems and regulate the climate of the entire planet.As long as I think about it, there is no problem in making a paradise world. 】

[Sounds really good, starting from Quatis, the Harlock family has been committed to owning their own planet.With this thing, I can hide from the eyes and ears of the family and the empire, and quietly spread these things on those bare rocky planets.I believe that after a while I will be able to harvest a large number of planets that can be colonized, and the Harlock Dynasty will be revived in my hands. 】

[Of course, any good thing has some small flaws, and we have all seen it. This kind of microbial cluster seems to have a kind of hive mind or other things. They are a bit aggressive. My several The subordinates died on this.Considering the economics behind it, this defect is acceptable.We have also seen with our own eyes that they have changed from a mere half a liter to a state close to a cubic meter. Perhaps only in this way can this thing cover a planet as quickly as possible. 】

[I hope the governor of the star area will not be too surprised when he finds out that there are dozens or even hundreds of habitable worlds under his command.I can't wait to plant these! 】

-

After reading the content about the slime monster, Siegel continued to read, and Harlock's fleet arrived at the space station soon.

[Ah, there is a space station that looks like a legacy of a pocket empire. In this universe, a small interstellar empire grows from prosperity to collapse at an unimaginable speed.At least everything in this space station will belong to me. 】

-

[Dark Spirit Race!These bloody bastards stole my valuable treasure!They must pay the price! 】

-

【Haha, those idiots broke the microbiome container! 】

-

[This kind of stone!Damn, will high-intensity radiation affect the quality of microorganisms, and what will happen to this thing after it mutates? !My battle with the Dark Eldar must end today!In Harlock's name!kill them! 】

-

Siegel read the entire log book with a solemn expression. The captain named Keira Harlock should not be the leader of the Harlock Dynasty at that time, but should be in charge of a squadron.

When Siegel was born, the Harlock Dynasty had been dead for more than 80 years. He had never seen or even understood what the Harlock Dynasty looked like in its heyday, but judging from the contents of the captain’s logbook, I am afraid that The Winterfin and Thor dynasties combined are even stronger.

Siegel and his sailors continued to rummage through the corpse for valuable items.

The stand device on the captain was almost destroyed, but it could still be sold as jewelry, and some valuable items could be found on the other crew members.

Next came the bodies of those Dark Eldar.

The battle nuns in silver shrouds are on guard around them. They will avoid those human corpses, because they will respect human corpses without confirming that the other party is a heretic.

But it is difficult for the aliens to get this treatment. Like humans, the corpses of the Dark Eldar have also become brittle shells.The nuns crushed the alien's corpse mercilessly.

Dark Eldar... how should I put it, maybe a living Dark Eldar is more valuable, a Dark Eldar slave can be sold for a high price in the cold trade market, but the value of their combat power is not as good as Several of his cousins.

Without soul stones or other handicrafts, the armor may have some collection value. As for weapons, the weapons of the Dark Eldar are notoriously difficult to use.

If I can get some Dark Eldar vehicles, I think they can sell for a good price, but unfortunately there are none here.

Siegel watched the sailors extract valuables from the corpse of the claw demon, usually claws, and the claws of the claw demon are a high-quality material for making fist blades.Theoretically, the value of the claw demon's skin is also very considerable. Unfortunately, the corpse has been soaked in radiation for too long and has not been disposed of in time, so the skin is completely useless.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, and they can be carried with them. However, these items have to be sealed for a period of time, and they cannot be sold until the radiation index of the items has dropped to a safe level.

Siegel finished his work, and he came to the sage of Mel.

"What did you find?" Mel was concentrating on retrieving the contents of the Inner Thinker module, and a servo skull answered Siegel's question.

"Data, a large amount of data fragments. This space building stands here to extract the large amount of plasma that escapes from this star. This empire has blueprints for various energy weapons."

"The specific content of the data information needs to be further analyzed. However, Siegel, you can lead people to this location."

"This is the storage area of ​​the space station. I think there will be a lot of supplies worth taking away."

Volume III Fear Pearl: Chapter [-] Harvest

In the main control room, Mel obtained partial control of the space station, and the lighting, communication, transportation and other systems resumed operation.

This greatly facilitated Siegel's next work.

Siegel led the people to the storage room of the space building marked by Mel. It was somewhat similar to their previous situation. There were deck ghouls everywhere.

These things attacked Siegel's team again, and then left after dropping hundreds of corpses again.

After opening several storage areas, there are no imaginary treasures inside, but more various components used for maintenance of the space station, but under the protection of the closed door, these things have not been polluted by radiation, and the performance of the components should not be good. Damage occurred.

There is also the plasma tank connected to the collection equipment. Siegel doesn't know whether this thing can still be used after hundreds of years. After thinking about it, he still asked someone to take this thing out.

The only thing worth mentioning is the discovery of a series of small and medium-sized intragalactic vehicles.

"Sage Mel, I found something here. Judging from the size, it should be...a carrier-based aircraft, as well as a larger carrier-based aircraft and an interstellar shuttle."

Siegel looked at the dusty aircraft in the warehouse. They were of different sizes, and the ship styles were not similar to those of the imperial ships. Their length was generally between 50 meters and 500 meters.

"I think you can come and see..."

These things are smaller than the defense fleet in the galaxy that Siegel knows. Since the defense fleet in the galaxy does not have a subspace engine to occupy the space of the ship, its structural design does not start at a kilometer like the Imperial Navy starship.

Generally speaking, a ship with a height of about 500 meters can serve as the flagship of the defensive fleet.

But there are very few ships below 500 meters, and the empire's phobia of insufficient firepower makes them prefer platforms that can install larger tubes.

Only shuttles and luxury yachts in the galaxy are about this size.

This can roughly show the style of this pocket empire, at least they seem to prefer this carrier-based combat mode.

Siegel didn't make any comments. Considering that the expansion area and the Calixis star area once fell into the hands of the Yuvas Empire, this method of combat may not be very effective for the subspace-specialized aliens like Yuvas.

But whether and how this pocket empire will be destroyed is only Siegel’s speculation. After all, there are too many means in this universe that can instantly overthrow a star sector-level empire.

But these things will become golden throne coins, or nourishment to slow down the dive speed of the human empire.

Siegel stood in front of the operation panel of the warehouse. He noticed that there were engineering servo arms in the warehouse. He tried to activate these things to transfer the aircraft out.

……

"Then you clicked on the cleaning function?" Mel looked at Siegel who was covered with water stains on the void suit. Today's aircraft warehouse floor is covered with cleaning water and foam.

"It's okay, at least it's not strong acid."

"I just found the dead Sage Muller." Siegel told Mel about the records in the logbook on the communication channel, "collected the remaining information modules on him, and more about the microbial population The information we can learn through his skull."

"As for the radiation source, I don't have any ideas for the time being. The thinking mode of the Dark Eldar is quite...different from ordinary people."

After talking about the business, the sage Mel turned his attention to the aircraft in the warehouse.

"I didn't expect this thing to be...it looks better than I imagined." Siegel looked at the appearance of the spacecraft in the galaxy that had been cleaned. The styles of ships and space buildings are somewhat similar, and the pale yellow hulls match The upper gilt armor plate protects the internal structure of the aircraft.

Judging from the appearance of the propeller, it should have the same combat capability as Fury.

"The appearance of these aircraft, I am afraid that the members of the state church will like it very much." Mel looked at it and complained directly. Although there is no iconic church of the empire, of course, the carrier aircraft and aircraft in the galaxy of the empire usually do not have such things, but this one The design and color matching of materials have a sense of religious sacredness.

She tapped the ground with the sage's staff, and under the gaze of the two, she awakened the flying machine belonging to the unknown empire.

"The 67-meter aircraft can be used both inside and outside the atmosphere, with five gun positions, and the weapon system is well integrated, without the need for additional armed personnel." Mel observed it and roughly gave his own conclusion, "This is currently available. What you can see."

"It's okay, at least the modularization is done very well. It looks similar to a starship. It can be moderately modified according to the needs of users. It can be kept as a collection, or as a reference when researching new carrier-based aircraft in the future. .”

"You say that..." Siegel took over Mel's words and said, "Didn't the sages of Rath consider changing the crazy nose gun of Fury?"

"Haha, no, why, Albertson and you made a request?"

"No, he's used to using rage, but I don't understand the design of the nose cannon."

The nose gun of the Calixis Fury interceptor can attack targets in front of the fuselage and on the left and right sides. In order to realize the function of muzzle steering, the fury nose gun uses the same laser cannon as the two wings of the aircraft, but Changed from a five-pack to a two-pack.

"In fact, I only modified a squadron of Fury interceptors equipped with new weapons a while ago. The entropy disintegrator technology is basically mature, and it can already be put into the battlefield for the final actual combat test."

"But I'm still considering designing a carrier-based aircraft specially equipped with this weapon, or simply taking out a starship-level entropy disintegrator." Mel introduced his research to Siegel, out of interest in the research Due to the respect of the staff, Siegel will not directly ask Mel's research situation, but wait for her to say to herself: "It is also for this reason to collect plasma while taking advantage of the stellar storm."

"I see." Siegel was about to say something, but Laurentina's voice came from the two's communication beads.

"The supplies are almost finished, do you have anything else to take away?"

"The other part is to inform the Golden Ship and the Golden Journey that they are approaching the space station, and there are some 'small toys' that need to be placed on these two ships."

After finishing speaking, Siegel looked at Mel and continued, "I'll leave the transfer of these things to you. I'll remove the soldiers guarding each intersection."

"No problem, you go."

-

When the exploring team returned to their respective ships with their loot, the good harvest greatly boosted the morale of the crew.

Repair work on the ship has also been completed.
