The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 142 134. Freedom in Warhammer

The Soul Fleet and the Guard Fleet successfully dragged their loot back to the Webway. Now they will return to Ayr immediately and let their shipyard take a good look at how to transform this behemoth.

Now in the webway, there is no need to worry about Aida's pirate fleet, because their troops have already lost part of their troops in the battle just now. Although there are only two conspiracy groups, they are the two largest conspiracy groups in the entire Dark City. As long as these two stop, no one from the remaining small conspiracy groups will want to attack their fleet.

After nearly three months of advancing in the dark and peaceful webway, they finally ended the expedition. Although they lost nine aircraft carriers, a large number of small battleships, and a considerable number of personnel during this expedition, they brought back the wreckage of three ancient battleships, as well as a complete ancient battleship. No matter how you look at it, , this is a victory that can be recorded in history.

When the huge amphibious landing ship appeared in the orbit of Er, even people living in urban agglomerations could see the hundreds of kilometers long warship with their naked eyes. For this reason, the Navy had to be careful to keep the warship from getting too close to the planet's orbit and causing changes in the magnetic field.

How to deal with and transform this huge warship now is a matter for the shipyard and the Military Affairs Bureau. However, according to their calculations, it will take at least three years before it can truly form combat effectiveness.

After hearing the news, Gray just said:

"Work slowly and carefully, don't be in a hurry."

There's really no need to be too anxious. After all, in the original plot, the number of wars in the galaxy did not explode until the beginning of M41.901. Now, they still have more than 200 years to develop as much as they want. Although comparing the technology of the two eras, in his opinion, it was like installing smoothbore guns and hot-air balloons on an amphibious landing ship. But when I think that this is also Warhammer 40k, I suddenly feel like it's natural. After all, the technology system of this world view is so fucked up...

Netat was put into the biological tank again. This time, after hearing what happened to it, Gray decided to check the ancient holy fragment. Don't let any big problem kill Netat. . After some inspections, it was finally confirmed that he was fine.

Then, Gray checked the electromagnetic rifle again. Although Netat has released his fragmented form, the rifle is still the same. Just like the divine sword in Farsight's hand, although the host has been restored to its original state, the items infected by the fragments remain so.

After observing it carefully for a while, Gray decided to study this thing together. If the addition of Netat last time facilitated the research on physical weapons, then Erda can provide more help in the field of psychic energy and even non-subspace. After all, Netat only absorbed a little bit of Gray's spiritual energy during the soul transfer. He had to let him turn the fragments into weapons, even if he didn't just collapse on the spot and spiral into the sky.

But with some help, everything becomes much easier. In the next few years, they will figure out how to make this new weapon.

After confirming the next thing, Netat waited silently for Erda to leave, looked at Gray who was sitting back behind the desk again, thought for a while, and then asked

"Gerry, can I ask you a question?"

After hearing this, Gray raised his head and looked at the strange and familiar friend in front of him, and said calmly

"I know what you want to ask, Netat. About the freedom of the soul, right?"

After hearing this, Netat was not surprised that the other party knew what he was thinking, and just continued.

"Yes, do you think that in this era, some people, or gods, have real freedom?"

"No one is free in this universe."

After Gray finished speaking, he took a long breath and continued.

"The first thing you need to understand is what true freedom is. True freedom refers to a state of being free from worries and being able to do whatever you want without considering any consequences. This is true freedom, terrifying and disorderly chaos.

Take me for example, I don’t have real freedom. I have to follow the law and make plans for the future of all collectives and individuals in this so-called empire. I am like a helmsman in the sea, stabilizing myself in the storm. ship, protecting the crew inside. This situation is also reflected in the Emperor and the surviving Elda gods.

So, what about those Chaos Gods? Do they have real freedom? The answer may surprise you. They don’t have it either. They even lack freedom compared to us.

The Chaos Gods are gods born from a single emotion. This means that their emotions and feelings have been fixed since the moment they were born. Even the most basic control of their emotions cannot be achieved, so why Talk about freedom? Although they have many slaves, they are emotional slaves, so they have no freedom of their own at all. "

After Gray finished speaking, he paused to let his partner in front of him digest what he said, and then continued

"So, Netat, I can tell you with certainty from my understanding that in this galaxy, no one has true freedom, no one.

But we shouldn’t feel sad about this. After all, there is still relative freedom. For example, humans living on two different planets in the Human Empire. The people on one of the planets are probably just slaves of the local governor, while on the other On this planet, they have the opportunity to regain their own power, which is something called democracy. The names of people on the latter planet have more freedom than the people on the former planet. "

Netate nodded after hearing this and said

"It's an interesting philosophical truth, Gray, but you must have been thinking about these words for a long time, right?"

After hearing this, the Ancient Sage scratched his long blue hair and replied with a smile.

"It's nothing to think about to help my friend get out of trouble. Besides, I'm also very happy to have someone to talk to me about philosophical issues."

"But now, we should consider how to complete the future work. After all, if the screening work is completed by Erda alone, then it is estimated that the entire black tea in the temple will have to be purchased again."

After hearing this, Netat nodded and suddenly thought of something to say.

"By the way, should I mix you another glass of golden cognac? After all, it feels like you are the only one in the whole facility who can't taste it, which is quite a pity."

Gray smiled and waved his hand to refuse.

"Forget it, it's better for me to drink less of the taste that is produced by stimulating the soul, and wait until I want to taste what I want to taste when I regain my body."
