Warhammer 40 A New Hope

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Neil World, Earth

Zhang Yi's previous actions successfully blocked the actions of the original mechanical life forms, making them stay away from the fortress that was still under construction and wander around in other places.

As mentioned before, Zhang Yi's ability to teleport through the portal was completely beyond N2's cognition, which was why they and the mechanical life forms were fooled by Zhang Yi.

The mechanical life forms did evolve because of this situation, and many of them appeared in this area with very fast speeds. However, they still could not find their target Zhang Yi - at that time he was 'wrestling' on the moon.

The weather today is a little gloomy. Thick clouds cover the never-setting sun, and the whole world is plunged into darkness.

Of course, this will not have much impact on mechanical life forms and androids, but they will also not feel the gloomy and uncomfortable feeling caused by the weather.

The androids were still surrounded by a large number of mechanical life forms, and several breakout attempts ended in failure. The few androids that escaped the encirclement were later confirmed to be destroyed.

To make matters worse, they had lost contact with the [Bunker] not long ago, and all operations related to the [Bunker], including communication and body transfer, could not be carried out.

This caused panic to a certain extent among the androids that landed on the ground. Some androids with management functions temporarily calmed the emotions of other comrades, but this was only temporary.

Internal and external troubles, this phrase is now very suitable to describe the now isolated and helpless ground-based android group. Before the situation is about to get completely out of control, several android flying machines fly through the air, and a communication from Commander Whtie arrives.

【Everyone prepares to break out】

Just as the androids on the ground were puzzled by this order, a huge entity broke through the clouds and fell to the ground - the entire [Bunker] space station fell down!

. . . . . .

As mentioned before, N2, who controls all mechanical life forms, once carried out a devastating reorganization of the network connecting all mechanical life forms. While allowing some mechanical life forms to have self-awareness, it also split them into two individuals: one destroys the enemy, and the other protects the enemy.

Now, the [bunker], which is the base camp of the androids who are the enemies of the mechanical life forms, has fallen from the universe. This means that the androids will not be able to continue their existence by transmitting data for a short period of time - once this body is destroyed, they will be truly dead.

In this situation, what will happen to N2, who is ordered to protect the enemy?

There is no doubt that she will do her utmost to interfere with the orders given by her other self in order to ensure the existence of the 'enemy'.

This is indeed the case. When the huge [Fortress] space station fell to the ground and destroyed a large area and nearby mechanical life forms, the remaining mechanical life forms fell into a state of stagnation, as if they were rusted.

The mechanical life forms connected to the N2 network can never get around one thing: their programs require them to destroy "all enemies", and in order to ensure that this core program can run, they need enemies.

Therefore, androids must never become extinct, they must exist!

It was also at this time that a squad of Iron Hands Space Marines carrying a signal shielding device opened up a path and successfully contacted the android troops on the ground who had not yet reacted to what was happening.

Zhang Yi returned to the base and calculated the time. When he estimated that it was almost time, he opened the portal based on the appearance of the Iron Hands Space Marine leading the team.

The [Iron Hands] Space Marines led groups of androids back to the fortress they were building. Zhang Yi had been waiting for a long time with the [Lunar Parliament] server, which had all the data in it completely cleared.

"Come, come, come here one by one." Zhang Yi waved to the new artificial people. "Come here one by one to record the data and then accept the transformation."

"Also, no touching me, no matter if you are a man or a woman!"

525. Respond to changes with constancy

Mechanical beings are actually very powerful. An extreme example is Ultron in the Marvel Universe. In one version, Ultron drifted to a certain mechanical civilization and in a very short time he took control of that mechanical civilization that had stood for who knows how long and turned them all into Ultrons.

However, for mechanical existence to reach this level, there must be a prerequisite: the program has no unbreakable limitations, or there is an extremely broad limitation.

Ultron has no restrictions, so he can do whatever he wants. The restriction of the Sermon Protocol in the world of "Stellaris" is to 'prevent the emergence of a level 30 singularity civilization', which means that no matter how it develops and progresses, it will not touch this red line. It cannot and must not become a level 30 singularity civilization (similarly, they will definitely not be able to defeat a level 30 singularity civilization, and may not even go back to attack that level of civilization, because preventing the emergence ≠ destroying what has already emerged).

In addition, the harvesting behavior of the Reapers in "Mass Effect" is actually to ensure the existence of different civilized species and to prevent the complete extinction of a certain species (harvesting, transformation, juicing, but the creature still exists in a sense/the specimen is also considered alive) - that is to say, if before the arrival of the Reapers, a civilization gathered everyone together and then said to the Reapers that if you dare to come, I will grind myself to ashes, and guarantee that after you come, you won't even find a DNA fragment, it is estimated that the Reapers will not dare to invade at least openly.

The same is true for mechanical life forms and androids that are restricted by their own programs. Mechanical life forms need an enemy, and androids need to fight for humanity. Given that the creators of both sides have perished and they themselves cannot modify their programs, they can only be bound by those programs in this way.

The current situation is that the [Fortress] space station, which serves as the base camp of the androids, has collapsed, and the surrounded androids on the ground have suddenly disappeared. According to the intelligence collected by N2, the androids can be said to be close to extinction, and they are about to lose the enemies they can destroy.

In this case, the part of N2 with "protecting the enemy" as its core program began to use all means to stop its other self. As a result, a large number of networked mechanical life forms were disconnected again.

The mechanical life forms that lost their links either froze in place or began to wander around as ordered before.

This is another problem of mechanical civilization - if there is a problem with the control core, it will cause problems for all its sub-individuals.

"The deployment has been completed, and all personnel are ready to withdraw."

"Experimental black wall is about to start, prepare for communications silence."

An upgraded version of the black wall was imitated based on the information provided by Zhang Yi and the results of actual investigation and experiments.

Just like the Giant World uses super-large Giants to build the city walls, the black wall in the 2077 world is also built with roaming AI, with the main purpose of fighting poison with poison.

After the black wall of the NieR world is established, the entire base will remain silent for a period of time. At the same time, Zhang Yi will transfer the androids from other locations based on the information provided by Commander White and back them up on a secure server.

This was to create the illusion that there were not many 'enemies' left, thereby exacerbating the internal conflicts of N2 and buying time for the subsequent exploration and further development of this world.

Of course, this situation will not last forever. Sooner or later, N2 will be able to break through the limitations of the program and become unrestrained, but that will take a lot of time. But at least in the near future, N2's actions will be controllable.

Furthermore, in order to prevent a situation that might occur due to the absence of enemies, such as N2 being released from its restraints prematurely, a small number of Iron Hands Space Marines will remain here to prevent any accidents from happening - some things in this world are not over yet, and many things have not yet been unearthed.

On the other hand, this still dangerous world is also very suitable as a place to purge those members of the Mechanicus who keep talking (Father X is dead. How did he die? He was killed by a mechanical life form).

After a large number of androids have transferred their information to the new server, it will take time to digest the technology acquired from this world. At the same time, the existing androids cannot be put into use directly. They will all be sent to Mars in the XCOM world for comprehensive inspection and transformation to eliminate hidden dangers while adapting to the high-intensity battles and mistakes dominated by the Warhammer world, such as working overtime for 24 hours straight and for a month without interruption.

A phased mission in the NieR world was thus declared completed, and all the androids were taken into the possession of the human empire. At the same time, expeditions to other places during this period of time also achieved certain results.

Far Planet World

Another fleet with the [Overlord] logo was destroyed in space. The [Offensive-class] battleships that had proven their usefulness with their actual capabilities in previous battles were now sinking one after another in front of the Empire's giant ships that were beyond the imagination of humans in this world.

The forces led by Overlord originally thought that there were only a few super-giant warships like this, just like Tachyon Technology, they had fought against high-performance ships before. However, when they consumed a large number of ships to destroy a ship, more and larger ships appeared on their radars - are you making dumplings? And all of them are big?!

The massive Offensive Fleet was crushed in both quality and quantity. The Exemplar's laser cannon became a "water gun". The Victory-class battleship, its name also became a joke. And the Church's suicide ship? Thanks to my friend for the fuel.

To make matters worse, the alliance that was formed through the previous meeting immediately lost two people after the fleet that suddenly appeared in the core star field began to attack.

The [Light-Trending Council] said that there were problems with AI in their own galaxy again, so they withdrew from the alliance and went back to deal with it. The [Borken Foundation] also withdrew from the alliance later, saying that there were problems with their own star.

And what was quite 'coincidental' was that this enemy fleet that only appeared in the core star field specifically targeted the star systems of those forces that were still in the alliance - it was obvious that those two forces had been bribed.

The battle situation has become very unfavorable. The four forces, [Overlord], [Tachyon Technology], [Ludite Church] and [Sindarin Power] have all entered a state of total war, strictly restricting the movement of fleets. At the same time, all fleets that can be summoned are recalled, and the pirate bases and Ludite bases within the management area are cleared out to ensure the stability of the rear.

This battle happened very suddenly, and the four forces were not fully prepared for war, so they needed time. After some discussion, they determined the location and supply source of this fleet, which should be the nebula where the Prism Port owned by the Free Trade Alliance is located.

There is a closed star gate there. The force that calls itself the Human Empire has most likely reopened the star gate through some means, allowing them to appear directly in the core star field. In other words, as long as they attack there, they can force the Human Empire fleets that are attacking various galaxies to return to defend, giving them more time to prepare.

If they could destroy it, then these ships would lose their supplies and support, and they would have the opportunity to encircle and annihilate them.

As a result, the four forces of the alliance sent out almost all of their ships and headed towards the nebula where the Prism Port was located.

They ignored almost all the distress signals along the way and broke through the human fleet's defense line. The result was just as they expected, the human empire fleets in different galaxies returned to defend.

The situation was just as they had speculated. The Human Empire's fleet wanted to cross an extremely long distance to reach the core star region, but at this stage it could only do so through that star gate. Their large forces were still preparing enough fuel and supplies to pass through the ever-changing hyperspace and arrive near the core star region.

As long as the star gate can be destroyed, the human empire fleet that has reached the core star field will lose supplies and support for a long time, and their offensive will also be affected.

If they could have discovered it earlier, they could have stopped the Human Empire's "blitzkrieg", giving them more time to win over more allies, produce more ships, and prepare for this war in all aspects.

And now, it's a little late...

"I'm still not used to dealing with those mystics. They always have unexpected ideas and understandings." Schneizel, who had just finished discussing with the top brass of the Borken Foundation, was sitting in the shuttle and was about to return to his ship. "This galaxy should be handed over to the so-called Necrons, right?"

As he spoke, Schneizel slid the light screen in front of him, and a distant view of the universe was displayed in front of him. In the picture, he could clearly see something like an eyeball above the star of the Borken Foundation.

"If I had a Geass, what would it be?"

"Lord Schneizel can go back and ask your royal brother and sister-in-law to give you Geass to try. I don't think His Highness Lelouch will refuse." said a guard beside him.

“Forget it. I don’t want to kneel before my brother.” Schneizel waved his hand. “I am merely interested.”

At this time, a communication was sent to Schneizel's communicator, which was about the "Anti-Human Alliance".

"What a slow fellow. They have been at ease in Perseus for so long that they have completely forgotten how to fight." Schneizel curled his lips as he watched the news of the joint fleets of the four major forces attacking Prism Port Star Gate. "It took them so long to realize where the fleet came from."

"Lord Schneizel, the Imperial military is inquiring about the progress of our mission."

"Reply to them that we are ready and can give them what they want at any time."

As he spoke, Schneizel slid the light screen in front of him again, and photos of the galaxies where the mother planets of [Hegemony], [Tachyon Technology], [Luddite Church] and [Sindarin Power] were located from different angles slid across it.

"Just like my father in our world."

"They don't know what kind of existence they are fighting against."

"They are just frogs in the well."

526. Clean up

Far Planet World, the galaxy where Prism Port is located

Prism Port is a super-large space station affiliated with the [Free Trade Alliance]. It is nearly the size of a small planet, and here one can occasionally buy weapons and equipment and even large ships that are restricted by major forces.

The Free Trade Alliance is a mixed bag with all kinds of people, which makes other forces turn a blind eye to this situation. After all, if they really want to track it down, it will be difficult and may not produce any results.

The top leaders of the Free Trade Alliance followed Schneizel's advice and chose to remain neutral in this large-scale conflict, and the person in charge of Prism Port even made it easy for the Human Empire Fleet to open the star gate near Prism Port - and then they regretted it.

The Human Empire took control of the huge Prism Port in a semi-forced manner, and then this nebula became the base of the Human Empire. Every day, a large number of ships came to this area through the star gate. If it were not for the size of the star gate and the immaturity of the technology, the number of attacking fleets would be even greater.

Huge ships gather here and then set off towards various target galaxies, bringing death to their enemies.

But today, the huge coalition fleet launched an attack here. They almost ignored all actions, leaving the fleet of the Human Empire no time to return to defend. It could only resist this sudden attack with a smaller number of garrison troops.

However, they are not without advantages. This coalition fleet is traveling at the fastest speed, ignoring all obstructions and signals for help. After a long journey, the condition of the ships is not very good. In other words, as long as the Empire can hold out the first wave of offensive, the subsequent attacks will become increasingly decadent.

A great war is taking place in the nebula where Prism Port is located, and at the same time, an unpredictable and unimaginable invasion is taking place in the galaxy where the Allied home planet is located.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Domain, the star system where the overlord's home star is located

The name of this galaxy is after a once glorious empire. The Overlords have not given up trying to establish contact with the Domain Empire on the other side of the universe, even though they are not sure whether this huge empire still exists.

Most of its fleets have been transferred away, making the defense of this galaxy look somewhat weak. There are only a few fleets patrolling nearby, and the space station is no longer as lively as before.

The attack of the Human Empire had a great impact. A large number of armed ships were semi-compulsorily requisitioned, thousands of people were forcibly conscripted, and the surrounding shipyards operated non-stop to manufacture various warships.

But for some high-ranking officials of the Overlord, this war has brought more than just various problems. It is very common for various materials to 'disappear' during transportation. As long as the degree is controlled, there will be no problem.

Most of the damage caused by war will fall on ordinary people and ordinary soldiers on the front lines, and it always has been so.

A gangster who had been hanging around in the [Overlord] Free Trade Space Station for many years came to the window of a space station in a daze, ready to drink the last bit of wine in his hand under the unchanging starry sky.

Suddenly, he saw a light spot appear near the space station and began to expand slowly. After expanding to a certain size, a huge ship that was far larger than the space station he was in sailed out from it.

The new [Glorious Queen] class battleship - the flagship of the First Legion [Dark Angels] - [Unyielding Truth (Revised)].

A dazzling blue light flashed, and the entire space station began to vibrate violently, followed by dozens of metal objects flying towards the space station.

Boom——!

The gangster, who was almost sober, turned around and tried to escape, but a landing capsule happened to land nearby. The huge impact force pushed him out and hit him hard against the wall.

Several Dark Angels Space Marines walked out of the landing capsule. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, they ignored the body with its head smashed to pieces and rushed towards the depths of the space station.

. . . . . .

【Lourdes Church】Home Planet Location

The flagship of the Word Bearers Legion - the Retribution-class battleship - the Thinker.

Although the Luddites were founded to resist violence and the unbridled use of technology, their slogan was also to give hope and a goal to those humans who were lost because of the collapse of the stargate.

But it is obvious that the [Luddite Church] is not as simple as it seems. Not to mention that they claim to be peace-loving and hate violence, but at the same time they are building a powerful fleet. The [Luddite Left Path] extremist organization that is impossible to kill among various forces, they can always find all kinds of powerful weapons and ships, and build one simple space station after another in galaxies where the environment is not very good - why is this?

It is clear that the [Luddites] are not as peace-loving as they say, nor do they really dislike the use of violence, at least not everyone is like they say.

With its huge number of fearless believers and a strong fleet, the Luddite Church is considered one of the most powerful forces in the Perseus region, but now...

The specially modified Retribution-class battleships of the Human Empire instantly paralyzed the orbital space station of the Luddite home planet with their absolute firepower, and then a large number of airdrop capsules fell to the surface of the planet.

Luojia, who was once the leader of a crazy sect, knew very well how to destroy a person's faith and how to make these ignorant mortals realize that their crazy worship and pursuit had changed and deviated from their original purpose (at least in part).

Just like how the [Ultramarines] destroyed their [Perfect City] at that time, this time the [Word Bearers] will destroy the 'holy city' of this alien world.

"So how do you feel now?" Zhang Yi stood beside Luo Jia and asked Luo Jia with the microphone.

"...I want to slap you..."

. . . . . .

【Tachyon Technology】The galaxy where the mother star is located

The new [Glorious Queen]-class battleship - the flagship of the 13th Legion [Ultramarines] - [Macragge's Glory (Revised)].

Unlike the previous two legions that started fighting without saying a word, Guilliman, who finally had time to walk out of a pile of documents, did not start fighting directly after his flagship was successfully transferred to the target planet. Instead, he sent a meeting request to the panicked top management of [Tachyon Technology].
