Stars for the good Warhammer

In the orbital dock with a strong industrial style, a well-organized mechanical assembly line is transporting pieces of cast alloy decks to the giant slipway.

Under the pale light above the head, a large number of mechanical arms were accurately and quickly performing assembly and welding work. In a short time, the behemoth on the slipway had a basic prototype.

Gazing at the huge and complex steel ship in the distance that looked like a space fortress, Otto couldn't help but sigh at such a pleasing scene. In his opinion, this was far more beautiful than a naked young woman showing off her charm. .

Oh my God, look at this beautiful hull, look at these turret reservations all over the hull.

Sure enough, big is good, more is beautiful.

While thinking, Otto couldn't help but turn his eyes back to the tablet in his hand, examining the detailed inspection report on [Macragge's Glory].

[Based on the reverse analysis results of the control system and hull structure. 】

[The underlying design of the target ship may be based on the alliance ship as a reference sample to a large extent. 】

The above is the final conclusion drawn by Chamuel. To put it simply, during the inspection of Macragge's Glory, the other party inadvertently noticed the intelligent system hosted in the battleship system, which was the The existence called [Machine Soul] by the Empire is actually able to respond specifically to the alliance's procedures.

To put it bluntly, programs that can run on Alliance ships can also run smoothly on Macragge's Glory system. This alone is enough to prove that the system frameworks of the two ships must exist. High degree of similarity.

At first this was just an accidental discovery, but after ignoring the strong protests of the machine soul and forcibly conducting an in-depth inspection of the core area of ​​​​the ship's hull, Chamier was finally able to determine it.

Except for the [illegal buildings] on the upper level of the ship and a large number of exaggerated decorative structures, the hull part of this giant ship uses standard alliance craftsmanship, and the system program code placed inside the ship has been processed through A lot of deletions were then roughly copied and pasted.

Obviously this is no coincidence. After handing these analysis reports to the newly appointed scientific director Clara, the other party came to such a conclusion with great certainty.

The hull of the Glory Queen-class ship comes from the [Hymn-class battle carrier], which was one of the most commonly used battleships in the Alliance.

As an aircraft carrier derived from a battleship and equipped with a "hangar core", its huge hangar capacity and advanced command system allow it to release up to 40 fighter formations in a short period of time, thus providing a powerful force on the battlefield. support.

At the same time, the [Tachyon Light Spear] located at the core of the ship's bow cannon can also enable the Anthem class to release terrifying anti-ship firepower against enemy warships from a long distance.

However, although it sounds very good, the performance of this type of warship in the game is quite mediocre due to the extremely weak AI in the game. But Otto just likes the feeling of having the aircraft carrier carry the cannon. .

"Chamiel claimed in the report that the Empire stole Alliance technology. I want to know what you think of this issue."

While speaking, Otto handed the data pad in his hand back to Clara's hand.

"My Lord, please forgive us for the decisions we made at that time."

"Due to our negligence, the battle between the Alliance and the Suzheng Fleet affected that human civilization. As compensation, the Queen shared some of the Alliance's technology. Perhaps those anthropologists rebuilt them based on the Alliance's technological heritage. Theories of empire and technology.”

Otto was not too surprised by this result. After all, when the Forbidden Army team arrived in Haven a few months ago, Gray Wind had discovered a lot of valuable information on the gunboat they were on. Pay attention to the place.

But this is strange. If this is the case, why didn't the alliance at that time share such vital technology as the hyperspace engine with each other? In this way, perhaps there will be no follow-up incidents.

However, what was unexpected was that Clara was obviously stunned when she heard this question. After a long silence, the other party asked incredulously.

"It is true that our scientific and technological assistance does not include this, but shouldn't this be the most basic navigation technology?"

"A civilization that has lost the ability to navigate through hyperspace is not even qualified to be called a space civilization. This is a fact recognized by all civilizations."

Seeing the rather confused expression of the other party, Otto was speechless for a moment.

Okay, it seems I shouldn't ask this

I do not know how long it has been.

Staring at the newly popped up reminder on the console panel in front of you.

[Current technology: Battleship (unlocked)]

This is quite funny when you think about it.

In the beginning, the Alliance gave the Empire part of its technology, allowing it to survive the chaotic Dark Age of Technology. But tens of thousands of years later, as the leader of the Alliance, I have used the legacy left behind by the Empire to regain my former [Player] The power of time.

So what the hell is this? Crossing the river by feeling the empire?

But they came here just because of the alliance.

On the side, just when Gray Feng, who had been watching alone for a long time, thought that the conversation between the two was finally over.

The next moment, the mechanical head named Clara suddenly took a step forward again.

"My lord, judging from the current alloy output of the alliance, I am afraid that we are still unable to support a standard [Psalm Fleet]. Our engineers are currently building the basic framework of a large shipyard in Haiwen. This alone This project has already taken up most of the production capacity of the existing colonies. Perhaps we should set up a [Material Decompressor] within the territory of the alliance as soon as possible. I think this should be able to greatly alleviate the pressure on resources."

The other party is right. The resource problem is indeed a big trouble plaguing the alliance. Otto once tried to get some wool from the empire through a treaty and get some gold coins from a certain old man. way to survive the crisis.

But who would have thought that in today's world, even landlords don't have much surplus food. Even if Regent Key breaks his leg, it will only meet the temporary needs of the alliance. This situation made Otto feel somewhat It's a bit distressing, but it's not without a solution.

However, before he could speak, the two started talking again. Hui Feng, who had been ignored for a long time, could no longer remain silent. The moment the other party finished speaking.

"You are right, but the issues you mentioned were actually considered by the master several months ago. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the master's plan."

As the words fell, Gray Feng came to the two of them with a graceful expression and showed a confident and sweet smile in the direction of Otto.

Apparently she didn't notice the confused look that flashed across the other person's face the moment she heard this.

"Master, he had already ordered the technical sages of the Mechanicus to urbanize the planet named Haven a long time ago, and prepared to build it into an [Industrial Ideal City]. In addition, the planet of Haven The port has also started expansion work long ago, and now there is not much time left before completion. "

"At the same time, the Pharos lighthouse as a beacon has also been lit. As time goes by, more ships will come to Haiwen. All this is to increase the cargo throughput of the current galaxy and facilitate more ships. A large amount of industrial raw materials and goods are concentrated from the rear in this central node guarded by powerful military forces."

"The gathered raw materials can be smelted into high-energy alloys in the giant nano-smelting furnace in Ideal City, and then put into the giant shipyard built in the galaxy. As for those colonies that have not yet been integrated into the territory, the master has ordered to send more The fleet went to speed up the reception process."

"The only problem that needs to be solved right now is the passage connecting the two sides of the galaxy. As long as the stability of the Nachmund Corridor can be guaranteed, the tribute paid by the Human Empire can be transported more conveniently to the Alliance’s colonial territories.”

"This is also the reason why the master chose Haiwen as the capital. While suppressing the expansion of the Great Rift, it can also more conveniently accept tribute from the empire. And do you think that the master really only wants to do this for those pitiful resources? Has the human empire reached cooperation? "

"As long as the owner wants it, with the power of [player] and [console], whether it is minerals or those rare high-energy alloys, it is just a matter of fingers for the owner."

The other party's words made Otto somewhat unbearable.

Good guy.

If my "~" key is still there, why should I be like this?

Under Otto's extremely complicated gaze, Gray Feng continued to speak.

"This is just part of the master's plan. Everything is for the ultimate goal."

When he said this, Gray Feng showed a slightly proud look towards Otto, as if he knew all the secrets of the other party.

"Am I right, Master?"

Which purpose?

What on earth are you talking about? ? ?

As the words fell, before Otto could react, Clara on the side suddenly showed a look of realization.

"Oh I see, that's what it is"

etc?

So what do you understand?

This situation made Otto somewhat speechless, but looking at Gray Feng's expectant little face not far away, he finally agreed calmly.

"Well, you are right, as expected of you."

Faced with Otto's affirmation, Gray Wind folded his arms slightly proudly and glanced at the synthetic scientist with a victor's look. In response, Clara just looked at this lively envoy. Smiled back.

As the most special being in the Ashes Alliance, in the eyes of most members, the individual called Gray Wind is another great creation of the [player], because the Lord of Ashes passed a vague order The code directly summoned Gray Wind, the divine envoy, to the capital galaxy of the Alliance, and as his most perfect assistant assisted the development of the Alliance.

Not long after, in order to figure out what the two chattering guys in front of me were talking about, Otto continued to follow what the other person said.

"Grey Feng, I want to hear your opinion on that ultimate goal."

Facing the inquiry, Gray Feng turned his hands away with a calm expression and answered confidently like a soldier.

"I believe it will definitely come true. We will definitely be able to make the etheric phase engine stand among the stars again, even if we are destined to be enemies of the entire universe."

"And master, the reason why you chose to ally with the Human Empire is not to have one less enemy in the process, and to kindly lead those civilizations that are willing to surrender to ascend together."

Hearing this, Otto couldn't help but fell into silence.

It turns out that this is what the other party was referring to.

Thinking of this, the console panel was called to him again.

Now that the talent system of [Incarnation of Natural Disaster] has been illuminated, there is now a brand new page in the interface.

[Popular predictions about the nature of this natural disaster are quite fanciful, such as the invasion of extraterrestrial predators, the spark of mechanical intelligence in the galaxy, or the spread of succession wars in other planes, but... it is now obvious The thing is, that natural disaster will always be you. 】

As his eyes gradually moved downwards in the panel, a familiar line of content soon caught his attention.

——Ether phase ring.

This is exactly what Clara mentioned not long ago, the key prop that can tear open the barrier of the universe and allow the main force of the Ashes Alliance to come to the galaxy, and the required deterrence power is 5,000 points.

In order to collect the required points as soon as possible, it seems that it is necessary to be a bad guy in the next period of time.
