Stars for the good Warhammer

Chapter 295 Giant Elephant = Deterrence Value Printing Machine (4K)

Walking through the intricate personnel passages, Falin still couldn't figure out what was going on here.

At this moment, the old and frail professor with a genetic disease was chasing her at an alarming speed. The strange posture of his four limbs on the ground and the metal skeleton exposed in front of his chest all proved that it was a synthetic man disguised by the Rectification Protocol.

The people of the Ash Alliance were right. It turned out that those things had already lurked in the society of the Earth Federation. It was a pity that before that, the golden man members of the Earth Federation Parliament regarded the warning from the hymn girls as a joke.

Listening to the rapidly approaching and increasingly heavy footsteps behind her, Falin's physical strength had already reached the limit. At the same time, the central AI in the base was constantly providing wrong routes, trying to prevent her from moving towards the safe house for refuge.

The AI ​​that was originally set to never betray humans has now launched a full-scale rebellion. There is no doubt that all this is related to the [Solution Protocol]. As a civilization that relies heavily on AI technology, if nothing unexpected happens, the entire Earth Federation is probably in chaos now.

While thinking, looking at the dark passage ahead due to power outage, the safe house for temporary shelter is already in front of him. However, just before he was about to touch the electronic door lock, he seemed to realize something and saw Falin hurriedly stopped.

Almost at the same time, a bloody mechanical arm suddenly broke through the wall and stretched out from the other end. The sudden situation made Falin, who was frightened, sit on the ground.

Looking at the mechanical arm that suddenly locked, Falin, who was still in shock, couldn't help but reach out and touch his neck. If he hadn't stopped in time, he might have been strangled by that thing.

"What on earth is going on?"

And all this was just because the image of being torn apart by a mechanical claw flashed through his mind just now. This situation made Falin, a dimensional scholar, more convinced that the memories that had come to his mind before were not just simple dreams.

I was probably trapped in some kind of irreversible cycle. Someone deliberately intercepted the dimensional space where I was currently, but why did the other party do this?

Seeing that the attack had not achieved results, accompanied by the sound of metal cracking, a four-meter-tall Suzheng mecha cut off the metal plate on the wall, walked out of the long-fallen shelter, and blocked Falin like a wall. At the same time, the previous pursuers had already appeared behind him.

Like a hound, the synthetic man in human skin was the first to move and pounced in the direction of Falin, but at the moment when the thing just jumped up.

[Squat down. 】

For some reason, these three words suddenly appeared on the electronic screen beside the corridor. Just as Falin lowered her head, with the flashes of fluorescent light at the end of the tunnel, several laser beams wrapped in arcs penetrated the body of the synthetic man from behind at a height close to the scalp.

The hot lasers hit multiple key parts at the same time, and the fatal arcs burned the electronic components in the synthetic man, making it scrapped into a pile of scrap copper and iron with no recycling value in just a blink of an eye.

Realizing that the situation had changed, the Suzheng mecha immediately switched its target and fired several powerful plasma balls in the direction of the beam. When the light ball exploded, the strong light instantly lit up the tunnel in the distance.

It was also in that light that a team of intelligent machines holding energy shields and arrayed in the middle of the passage suddenly attracted Falin's attention. The reactive armor made of pure black alloy made them look like heavy knights from ancient times.

That was not a unit of the Earth Alliance

Who are they? Could it be that there was also a civil war between AIs?

However, before she could come to her senses, the two forces started fighting without explanation, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Falin was caught in the battle area between the two sides. As the arc plasma and the phase shells specially designed to penetrate the shield continued to explode around her, she was like a fallen leaf caught in the storm.

Except for whispering the name of her lover and hiding in the corner with her hands on her head like a hedgehog, she could do nothing at this time.

"Neos"

As time passed, just when Falin thought she would die in the battle, in the next moment, in the dazzling light caused by the explosion, she vaguely saw a vague figure in front of her.

When the other party appeared, Falin was surprised to find that the surrounding scenes began to become confusing. At the same time, the figure that seemed to come from another plane was gradually approaching her, and the sound of the explosions was becoming more and more distant, as if there was a force dragging her away from here quickly.

Until a certain moment, everything returned to silence again. When Falin opened her eyes again, the figure that looked like an imaginary spirit had brought her to a space with nothing.

In a state of ignorance, the voice of a young man came out of the mouth of the phantom.

"Neos, I want to know what kind of relationship you have with this person."

This voice echoed in the silent and empty imaginary space, as if it was made by a thousand people at the same time.

As if possessing some kind of special magic power, the moment she heard this voice, Faline, who was as dizzy as if she was hungover, answered the question in a low voice without knowing it.

"He is my lover."

"spouse?"

Hearing such an answer, the shadow felt a little surprised at first, and then said such inexplicable words in a soliloquy tone.

"Could it really be that old guy?"

"Could it be that Trazin did it on purpose?"

While talking, Faline noticed that there was an extra photo in the other person's hand. It was a photo of herself and Nios. At this moment, the other person's eyes were fixed on the melancholy person in the photo. Long-haired young man.

I don't know how long it took, but as my spirit recovered, after roughly observing the surrounding environment, Falin, a researcher, first stood up from the ground, and then nervously observed the strange ghost-like thing in front of her. Guy.

"Did you trap us in that dimensional maze?"

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. If you promise me that you will answer my questions seriously, then I can release you from this unique maze. Of course, I can also send you back to repeat this paragraph at any time. Time loops into the next millennium, and it's all up to you."

While speaking, the phantom first put away the photo of "Nios" and the woman in his hand, looking carefully as if he had seen some kind of incredible treasure.

After hearing this, Faline knew very well that there was no concrete meaning in resisting an unknown force that possessed such technology, so it was better to cooperate with them for the time being.

"I promise you."

"I can promise you anything as long as it allows me to regain my freedom."

It seemed that his interest was piqued by this answer.

"anything?"

As the words fell, the surrounding environment changed again.

"This is what you said. I hope you won't break your promise."

Then she heard the voice close to her ear and said such words in a tone that could not conceal her joy.

"Welcome to the 42nd Millennium."

*

*

It felt like falling into a bottomless abyss.

As the sound came, Falin, who felt so weak all over, felt that her legs were weak.

Following the transformation in space and dimension, Falin felt her stomach churn.

After a moment, when the blurred picture in front of her began to take shape again, she stared at the crystal deck she was supporting with both hands. Only then did she notice that she was already in a religious-style hall decorated with crystals.

Right now, a man in black robes was standing in front of him, staring at him with many strangely dressed humans around him.

Although they were separated by masks, Faline could still clearly feel the curious gaze from the other party.

Among the many people, a familiar face suddenly caught her attention.

"Clara? Is it really you?"

The woman's tone could not hide the surprise in her heart as she spoke. It was obviously a blessing to see someone familiar under such circumstances.

That being said, according to Clara herself, the two parties actually only had a one-time relationship, and it all happened tens of thousands of years ago. Although for Faline, who has been trapped in the dimensional maze and experienced hundreds of millions of cycles, It all just seems like yesterday, and it is obvious that the other party is not aware of this cruel fact until now.

About half an hour later.

Sitting around the round table in the prayer hall.

"The 42nd millennium?"

"How can this be!"

Under the joint narration of Clara and Otto, it was only then that Faline finally understood what happened to her.

The once glorious civilization had been destroyed, and he was one of the few survivors. Because of the existence of the dimensional labyrinth, he was "lucky" to survive tens of thousands of years later, and plunged from the enviable golden age into the giant world during the Indomitable Crusade. cesspool.

But having said that, I have to say that Huang Pizi's vision is quite good.

Looking at the young woman in front of him who exuded a scholar's temperament and had a kind of intellectual beauty, when he thought of her special status, Otto couldn't help but look at her a few more times, until Hui Feng on the side poked his finger. Arm, Otto then retracted his attention from some strange directions.

"You mean to say that the Iron Man rebellion started by Su Zheng was the main reason for the destruction of the Earth United?"

The other party's eyes were so horrified, it was exactly the same as when Otto first learned that he had entered the Warhammer universe by squatting on the toilet.

"Could it be that they didn't successfully clean up that solemn host?"

When she said this, she seemed to have thought of something. Faline paused for a moment, and then continued with a desperate look.

"That's right. Those people have been busy dealing with the so-called separatist crisis from beginning to end. They didn't pay attention to the alarm we sent out at all, and they didn't care about the technology donated by the alliance."

Seriously correct the host?

Hearing this, Otto couldn't help but look at each other with Gray Feng beside him.

If the exact location of the core can be locked, then the rest of the things will become extremely simple. Obviously, this can alleviate a lot of trouble.

Realizing that this was a key clue, Clara hurriedly continued to ask.

"So you successfully traced the location of the rectification host by yourself?"

"Where is it?"

Looking at the other party's serious expression, the woman named Falin was obviously frightened by this scene, and finally had to honestly confess everything she knew like a prisoner being interrogated.

"According to our tracing of the ghost signal in the galaxy, the host is very likely located in the territory of the Aida Empire"

In the territory of the ancient Aida Eldar Empire?

When Otto heard the news, his mood was like a roller coaster ride.

Because the old imperial people now generally call that place like this.

——Eye of Terror.

It's broken

It seems that his previous guess was completely correct.

Now that thing has really fallen into the hands of Chaos along with the entire mechanical planet it is on.

This means that if Otto wants to solve such a threat now, it seems that there are only two options left.

First, accumulate troops and launch an expedition to the subspace.

Or maybe the second one

Find a way to overturn everyone's dinner table.

While thinking, a few lines of text on the system panel have already appeared in front of Otto.

According to his assignment, Gabriel has read the STC template previously obtained from Faline.

[Currently available new research options: Colossus]

[Just press a button to completely wipe out a planet, a powerful star destroyer system. ]

[Ship destroyer component: Earth-shattering Star (unlocked)]

Thinking of this, Otto switched the content menu of the system console panel again.

[Switch to the deterrence value panel]

[Current natural disaster level: slightly threatening]

[Current deterrence: 570]

[When deterrence reaches 1000 points, it can be upgraded to a stage that cannot be ignored. ]

A full 1,000 points of deterrence value are needed to increase the natural disaster level.

At present, the fastest way to gain deterrence besides annihilating hostile forces and conquering designated targets is.

[Destroy hostile planets: increase deterrence by 100 at a time]

After roughly estimating the current resource output of the territory, Otto immediately issued such an order through the brain wave device installed at the temple with Gray Wind next to him.

——Inform Haven's shipyard to adjust the dock of the Colossus to the highest priority.

Soon after the order was issued, Otto once again set his sights on the woman named Falin with a scrutinizing look.

I didn't expect that there was such a great gift hidden in the maze given by Trazyn.

If Gabriel and William hadn't taken the initiative to ask, I might not have noticed these in a short time.

A complete set of well-preserved technology templates for the Colossus and its supporting components.

Information about the exact location of the main core of the rectification.

And an anthropologist from the Golden Age.

Although it is not known what that guy can be used for at the moment, Otto still wants to say something to an old comrade named Neos when he thinks of this.

"Don't worry."

"I'll take care of your wife."
