Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"This Blood Crow company is staying here with me, right?"

"Then there are a bunch of small teams from some unknown sub-regiments that are joining the expedition. They total more than a company of people."

"The Space Marines force, including my Pathfinders, has about 400 people, about four companies. There should be some people left after a while."

"Then there were the Astra Militarum troops, including my elite regiment. The oil men finally replaced all my equipment..."

"My ten legions, and then the ordinary Astra Militarum legions that joined later... MD, just look at the result - 300,000 people."

"Counting the alien redemption army of the XCOM world, 10,000 people, and the Mechanicus and Titan Legion, 20,000 people..."

"If the intensity of the battle is not too great, these legions should be able to control a normal galaxy. If they only fight but do not occupy, then on the scale of the Milky Way, they are also a very powerful force."

"But we just want to occupy it..." Zhang Yi felt a little headache. "If this amount of troops were put into some outrageous world, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to make a splash."

"But if you don't choose an outrageous world, you won't gain much..."

"Let me see. If we divide our forces and aim to capture the population and existing industrial facilities... it will be easier to occupy the human world, and the population must be sufficient..."

"By the way, Old Bacon, are you considering taking over friendly humanoid silicon-based life forms at this stage?"

"...Are you unable to control your lower body again?"

"No, I just used up Nurgle's power. If you hadn't grabbed me and told me to hurry up, I would have wanted to move, okay?!"

"Even if you really said that, you should know that there are more than just the so-called 'friendly' humanoid silicon-based life forms in that world." O'Neill said. "Not to mention that those beings are also strong in combat and have the possibility of rebellion, that area is also an area with at least two adjacent worlds, plus the 'Observer' and the 'Inevitable Doomsday', if you take all these into account, the waters over there are quite deep."

"That is to say, a large-scale landing is not advisable. We can only try to use a small-scale force to take away the people we want, and this is under the ideal situation without considering virus contamination and other problems."

"Most importantly, I personally believe that the purpose in the past was not pure."

"You know those beings that start at 300 jin, right?"

"What if you want to try something different? Slaanesh is in your hands, I won't be surprised if you play it more." O'Neill said. "You can go if you want, just write me a detailed risk and reward assessment report."

"Fuck!"

"Then one part will go to the Ring World for further development, and the other part will cooperate with the people of the Mechanicus to go to the distant planet world."

"If we don't solve the problem of artificial intelligence, we won't be able to go anywhere. Even if we occupy some places, we won't dare to use them..."

"I know this, but it is not suitable to use artificial intelligence or humanoid silicon-based life forms at this stage." O'Neill said. "At least not suitable for large-scale use. Even if I unify the stubborn elements in some places, I won't unify them. Moreover, this may attract the existing Golden Age Iron Man troops."

"This world is such a shithole..."

"Indeed, but because of your presence, the water in this shithole is a little cleaner."

"...I know what you mean, but when you say that, it makes me feel like I'm a septic tank..."

“In fact, the difference is not big.”

"Hey! I've tolerated you for a long time! Just wait and see if I'm going to pull your hair!"

"Come on, kid~"

Ringworld

There hasn't been a large-scale interstellar war for a long time, since various technologies were forgotten, space stations and routes were abandoned, and the various galaxies in this world were isolated for unknown reasons.

The out-of-control mechanical race would sometimes fight among themselves. The isolated shining worlds were basically self-sufficient and there was no reason for them to fight.

Perhaps sometimes an organization calling itself the Galactic Empire would raise a fleet to put pressure on planets that do not obey their orders and surrender, but since they have all hidden at the edge of the Milky Way to survive, they are doomed to not be able to sustain the consumption of a fleet in an interstellar war for a long time.

In general, large-scale interstellar wars are almost non-existent in the marginal areas of this company's galaxy. Firstly, there is no reason to wage a war of this scale. Secondly, the long distances between galaxies, the slow superluminal movement speed and the scarce resources also make it so that most of the forces in this area do not have the ability or the desire to wage such a costly war.

Far away from the prosperous world where the Milky Way galaxies are clustered, the people stationed in this area cannot imagine the prosperity of the central region of the Milky Way, the wonderful sight of the shining world or even the more prosperous high-tech world, let alone the magnificent sight of hundreds of ships docked at the space station near the planet.

But the stability of this area is about to change because of an external force. When huge ships appear one after another near the planet, large amounts of supplies are loaded onto those giant ships, and groups of soldiers board the transport ships, it means that another expedition is about to begin.

The target of the Human Empire this time, regardless of those uninhabited and ownerless galaxies, they will move towards galaxies with large populations or even occupied by forces. If possible, they will even try to attack the shining world with a complete industrial system, military defense force and a large number of magical technological products.

It was just like the great expedition long ago when the Emperor still walked the world, with all 1 Primarchs, all kinds of precious weapons and equipment, as well as vehicles and ships.

Yes, the scale and goal of this expedition are far less than that of the great expedition that swept across almost half of the Milky Way and involved hundreds of billions of people, but...

Sooner or later, that day will come.

500. No one can stop me from seeing a 300-pound girl!

The world of "Far Planet", a galaxy occupied by the Mechanicus

Without considering the restrictions on population and AI core usage, the construction speed of the Mechanicus, which has a large amount of technology, is extremely fast. Soon, the planet with the Afterglow automatic space station in orbit is covered with a large number of buildings with Mechanicus characteristics, and a large number of servitors are carrying out the planned projects without stopping.

This is just using the most basic α (Alpha) AI core. If more advanced AI cores are used, the overall construction speed will be further improved.

Because of some historical issues in the Warhammer world, even with permission, many priests are wary of using AI cores and impose a lot of restrictions on them to prevent another AI rebellion, which also limits the power usage of the core.

But even so, the commissioning of this αAI core has greatly promoted the progress of construction work.

After being reprogrammed, the Sunset Automated Space Station began to mass-produce unmanned warships, which formed one of the space defense forces in this area. The mechanical monks of the Mechanicus also managed to once again repair the firepower platform with a range sufficient to cover the entire galaxy, replacing the original accelerated projection turret with an ultra-high-power light spear, while also increasing the power of the firepower platform.

There are a large number of human territory relics in several nearby galaxies, enough for them to study for a long time. In order to obtain the development and research rights of these, they transferred a large number of personnel from their own forging planets to this world. This is also what the empire wants to see.

A large number of Imperial Navy fleets and Space Marine battle barges appeared in this star field. After a brief repair and modification, they will head towards the most prosperous star region in the world.

As the first target of this attack, the [Demon Avionics], which was not far from the central star area, was "fortunately" selected.

World of Warhammer

"Ki! Li! Man!"

Guilliman, who was working overtime as usual, was interrupted by a roar from the Emperor, and the next moment, O'Neill stepped into the room where he was.

"So, how did my little brother frame me again, father?" Guilliman said with a used expression on his face, looking at O'Neill who walked in angrily.

"Did you write this for him?" O'Neill placed a stack of documents on Guilliman's desk.

"On the possible gains and risk assessment report of NieR: Automata?" Guilliman looked at the title on the cover and flipped it open. "I did write some assessment reports based on the limited intelligence from other worlds, which served as reference for future actions..."

"So he suddenly found me and wanted me to write more details because of this." Guilliman closed the information that had obvious traces of pasting and copying and had various problems, and said to O'Neill. "So, that world also has a beast-eared girl that gives you a headache?"

"you know?"

"I don't know. I only know that there are humanoid silicon-based life forms created by extinct humans. I really don't know what they look like. You know, I don't have time to play games."

"Based on the intelligence I know, if those silicon-based life forms with humanoid appearance and loyal to humans can join the Empire, it can greatly enhance the Empire's combat power. Moreover, as far as I know, some of them are also quite good at handling government affairs." Guilliman did not realize the reason why O'Neill was a little angry. "If it is just sub-humans, the Empire has already learned to accept them. They are human creations, and it is not impossible to accept them after handling them. As for my little brother's unique hobby, it is not within my consideration."

"So... you want humanoid twin sisters as your secretaries?"

"...ah?"

O'Neill's words made Guilliman realize that something was wrong.

"Don't tell me that the so-called 'humanoid silicon-based life forms' in that world are all female in appearance?"

"There are male ones, but the model you want that can handle politics only has a female appearance."

"(deep breath)(Macragge swears)"

The World of NieR: Automata

Originally, this was just an ordinary human world, but an accident caused magical creatures from another world to appear in this world.

A giant dragon chased a giant and landed in this city in this world. The giant was killed by the dragon, and humans killed the dragon with missiles. (Dragon's Back plot)

This accident made people aware of the existence of parallel universes, but it also brought disaster.

The death of the dragons and giants brought the so-called "magic element" to this world, and most humans in this world could not withstand the magic element, which triggered the saltization group - the infected people would turn into white salt and become violent.

Humans who did not want to be extinct took many measures, and their technology made a qualitative leap during this period, but even so, they could not escape the fate of extinction.

Humanity perished, but the artificial life forms created to protect humanity survived. Having lost their target, they created a lie - they pretended that humanity still existed and started a meaningless and endless battle.

"I didn't see Miss 2B." (Zhang Yi)

"I didn't see Miss A2 either." (Fal/Technical Sergeant)

"I didn't see Adam and Eve either." (Wu Mo)

"... Did you come to this world just to find girls and fight people...?" (Kerr/Captain of the First Company)

Even now, after humanity has been extinct for a long time and after many battles, some remnants of human buildings still stand, and in some places the remains of cities can be clearly distinguished.

"The extinction of mankind has no impact on the world at all." Zhang Yi said, looking at a building that is still standing. "Nature is recovering and erasing the traces left by the former overlord of the planet."

"Boss, did you stray from Neil's set to Godzilla?"

"Are you going to sigh?"

"Where's Adam? Where's Eve? I want to fight these two 'holy brothers'!"

"Kerr, hold Wu Mo's leash tighter, be careful he doesn't run out." Zhang Yi looked at Wu Mo and said to Kerr. "Has he passed the latest assessment?"

"He does act very much like Khorne, but the test results show that he is just purely militant and does not believe in Khorne," Kerr replied. "He believes in Kratos."

"alright."

"So Boss, where are we now and what time is it?"

"Hmm... I don't know. Let's go first."

The time in Neil's world is now tidally locked, so it is impossible to determine by looking at the sun. The only thing they can be sure of is that they are on the side with the sun, which is the 'Kingdom of the Sun'.

They were located on the outskirts of an industrial park, with a wide view where they could clearly see the industrial buildings and chimneys.

"There are a lot of mixed signals around here, and it's unclear where they're coming from." Farr, a technical sergeant, said as he checked the received signals. "It will take time to analyze these signals."

"Remember to take precautions and be careful of being invaded." Zhang Yi reminded. "By the way, we have been walking for such a long time and we really haven't seen a single living thing..."

"It's understandable that the resistance forces on the ground are not active in this area, so we can't see them. It's also understandable that the people from the Sky Fortress Base haven't come down yet and can't see them. But what about those round-headed mechanical life forms? Why aren't they there?"

"Even in the game, you don't see those round-headed machines running around, right?" Kerr reminded. "They also have a fixed range of activities, and they probably won't run around unless there are special circumstances."

"For mechanical life forms, shouldn't factories like this be a place where they tend to gather together?"

"That depends on what kind of factory it is. A handicraft factory is also a factory."

"I really saw a ghost..."

It has been almost two or three hours since Zhang Yi and his team arrived in this world, made a preliminary assessment of the surrounding situation, and then walked to this location.

But during this period of time, they saw nothing except the ruins of buildings, the wreckage of vehicles, and freely growing plants.

Neither the Android girl that Zhang Yi and Fal wanted to see, nor the mechanical life form that Wu Mo wanted to see, they saw any of them. It seemed that they were the only living creatures left in this entire area.

At this time, Zhang Yi and others had arrived at the seaside through a road that ran through the industrial area.

"There's really nothing here." Zhang Yi said, looking at the seagulls flying in the distance. "It's really like seeing a ghost."

"The area that can be freely explored in the game is limited, and perhaps the area we have reached is outside the area where the plot takes place," Kerr said. "After further exploration, it can be used as a landing site and base site for subsequent landings."

"Old Bacon does not allow large-scale exploration and stationing in this world at this stage, because the waters in this world are still quite deep."

"So, shall we go back now?"

"I didn't find anything, so I can only go back..."

"I detected a strong signal." Farr suddenly said. "One, two, three..."

“It’s moving toward us.”

On the sea, three huge shadows approached the shore from underwater, and the next moment they broke through the water and appeared in front of Zhang Yi and others.

"What the hell?" Zhang Yi said, looking at the huge mechanical structure in front of him. "They are..."

"N'Zoth, Yogg-Saron, C'Thun?"

Wu Mo's series of names successfully interrupted Zhang Yi's thoughts, and the other three people also looked at him.

"You've got the whole Zenith Star!"

501. Expedition of the Human Empire (I)

×Gus is a super-large heavy mechanical existence belonging to the mechanical life form. It has a huge body and its hands are two wheeled excavators. It can serve as an aircraft carrier for careful flying mechanical life forms and can also launch powerful laser beams and missiles.

This is also the first giant mechanical life form that the androids encountered when they descended to fight in the early stage of the game. Just one machine wiped out the entire air force where 2B was. After she and 9S worked together to urge the ×Gus they encountered, three more of the same existence appeared, leaving the two people who had run out of ammunition and food with no choice but to destroy the enemies that appeared later by detonating the [Black Box] that served as the energy core.

Judging from subsequent and multi-week plots, the number of Xgus is far more than four, and it is very likely that mechanical life forms are already able to mass-produce them.
