Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

After Russell sent Listia away, Gray Feng slowly came out of the room, lowering his head as if he had done something wrong and not daring to look into Russell's eyes.

This made him slightly uncomfortable.

In the past, Gray Wind always put on a rather arrogant and playful appearance to hide the meticulous and cold reason of the micro-mechanical Gestalt; now it is exactly the opposite, it often needs to deliberately act serious and inhumane in order to Cover up the impulse and sensibility that you occasionally reveal inadvertently.

In this universe, what happened to Gray Wind would be terrifying. If Gray Wind hadn't stayed with him all day long, Russell would have wondered if it had been contaminated by some Chaos Evil God.

How about disinfecting it tonight?

Later that day, the scientific research director handed Russell the new ship design that his team had just drawn for review.

Since Russell gave them the path to prosthetic ascension half a year ago, the Order of Truth has split into two factions;

The "practicalists", represented by Listia, accepted the transformation of the prosthetic body and were about to leave Falla for the Far Eastern border. In the name of conscription, they conducted various inspections and research throughout the star field to verify their theories in practice.

Represented by the scientific research director, the "theoretical school" who refused to ascend the prosthetic body and had a conservative attitude chose to stay in the research base and continue various theoretical research.

The Practicalists regarded the journey they were about to embark on as a social practice to test the ideas of the Order of Truth and a "preach" to promote the truth, and they called themselves "preachers" from then on.

In order to support the missionaries' next actions, Russell asked hundreds of theoretical monks headed by the scientific research director to design a new scientific research exploration ship with excellent performance and equipped with various necessary research equipment, and put it into production as soon as possible.

After putting down all other tasks, the scientific research director led the research team to integrate and optimize the many black technologies traded from the Mechanicus over the years with more than a dozen special technologies from the Human Federation, and finally designed the product in Russell's hands. This blueprint of a scientific research vessel.

Russell spread the thick stack of drawings handed over by the scientific research director on the table and opened the cover.

This scientific research vessel named "Sailfish" is more similar in appearance to a dolphin, with a body shape between a frigate and a destroyer. The ship's keel adopts a multi-section spliced ​​design that imitates biological spines, allowing the hull to withstand a considerable degree of The bending deformation is particularly elegant when driving at high speed, and it really looks like a swimming fish.

In addition to the conventional stealth field and shield configuration, the silver-white smooth body of the swordfish-type scientific research vessel is also equipped with both psychic and tachyon sensors. However, due to the need to carry many research equipment in the internal space, The hull itself is only equipped with the most basic self-defense firepower-Tianyun Lightning, Cyclone Missiles and Destroyer torpedoes.

All aspects of the performance of this scientific research vessel are improving, and Hui Feng is very satisfied with it.

In just half a year, such an excellent ship template was designed, and it was also specially matched with a "Swordfish" type combat frigate as a escort force. The theoretical level of the theoretical group led by the scientific research director deserves recognition, but the density of the hair is a bit thin. .

But here's a little problem:

In Russell's plan, the missionaries of the Order of Truth should be sent on a mission in a group of three people, driving a swordfish-type research vessel. Each Sailfish scientific research ship needs to be equipped with at least three "Swordfish" combat frigates as the most basic escort force.

In addition to hundreds of theoretical monks headed by scientific research directors, about 1,200 more people have chosen to ascend with prosthetic bodies and become preachers. This means that at least 4-500 swordfish scientific research ships and ships will be built in the future. Only about 1,200-1,500 Swordfish frigates can meet the needs of executing the Russell Plan.

For the catapult who has just completed the large project of building a quantum slingshot and all resources have been almost exhausted, it is really a big burden. Moreover, the built ship must be registered with the Ministry of Justice to be considered legal. Boats and gangsters who enter other people's homes without permission can easily be blown up and blown up.

But the good news is that he doesn't have to bear any of this himself.

There was no need to think too much about this kind of thing. Russell forcibly grabbed the scientific research director who had just finished handing in the project and was about to go back to the research base to continue staying at home, and hurried out the door.

The scientific research director followed the leader onto a transport ship in confusion, and was even more confused: "Are we leaving Falla?"

"That's right." Russell nodded and said: "Building space battleships on a large scale in units of thousands is a big project. So we are going to Embra to talk to the Mechanics above. As long as we give The remuneration is sufficient, and I believe the technical priests will be happy to take on this project."

The scientific research director thought for a moment and had no objection.

Although he has been staying at the research base to engage in theory, his news is not stagnant.

According to the knowledge of the scientific research director, a group of technical priests and grassroots technicians led by the technical sage "Spangler" have long-term disagreements with the faction of the great sage Coster, and have always intended to break away from the Musbell Forge, which is controlled by the great sage. world, stand on its own.

After the construction of Embra was initially completed, and using this ideal city that had just completed the first phase of construction as a foothold, the technical sage Spangler finally officially declared independence from Musbel and started in Fayala. Organize yourself.

But since independence, the situation of the Mechanicus of Embra has not been good.

The Great Sage Coster was furious at their independence and monopolization of urban planets, but due to the energy of the Star Bombers and the Falla Senate, he was unable to directly do any violence to the Embra Mechanicus led by Spangler. measures.

The frustrated Great Sage could only suppress the Si from all aspects by blocking the supply of resources and constantly saying that "Musbel will refuse to provide ship maintenance and arms supply to the navy and caravans that have close relations with Embra". Pangler's faction tried to get him to return to Musbell's system.

Coster's method is indeed effective, and the Adeptus Mechanicus still has some influence in the human empire.

Over the years, Russell has witnessed with his own eyes that as the supply of resources has been cut off, the rogue traders who came to Falla to do business no longer dare to go to Embra to do business. The planet transformation project in full swing of this urban planet that has just completed the second phase of construction has gradually stalled. As a result, it is difficult to move forward with the ideal city project.

In such a situation, facing a large order brought by the Star Bomber, how could Embra's Adeptus Mechanicus refuse, no matter how harsh the conditions were?

Russell is indeed a bit short of resources now, but he is not short of money.

The transport ship carried Russell and the scientific research director across the inner ring of the Falla galaxy to the sky above Embla. The trajectory of the voyage passes through the space elevator that was halted due to lack of funds before it was completed. When you look up, you can also see the idle orbital dock and satellite base.

These facilities are still in their infancy. If the original project plan is carried out, as long as there is sufficient resource supply, Spangler can connect the completed space elevator to the orbital dock and build a star ring even more powerful than Musbell's. Advanced and complete star ring base.

However, his plan was suspended when the capital chain was cut off.

Looking at the prototype of the Star Ring Base that was stopped just after it was built, Russell seemed to see the unfinished buildings in his hometown that could not be handed over because the developers failed.

While Russell was thinking wildly, the transport ship landed smoothly on the tallest tower on the surface of the urban planet, and the technical sage Spangler was inside.

There must be at least 6 such towers on a fully built urban planet, but now only one has been built, and the second one has been stopped as it is only a semi-finished product.

Under the leadership of two technicians, Russell and the scientific research director soon found the now somewhat frustrated technical sage.

Faced with this old acquaintance, Russell did not tease him about his urban planet transformation project that was about to be completed. Instead, he directly stated his cooperation needs and directly transferred the relationship between the swordfish-type scientific research ship and the swordfish-type frigate. Show him the design drawings.

Sure enough, when he saw the drawings for the first time, the decadent atmosphere that filled Spangler's body was instantly swept away.

The technical sage's twisted and ferocious mechanical body like a centipede quickly climbed up. Several mechanical arms each picked up a drawing and browsed through the ship sketches brought by Russell with extremely high efficiency. Then, he took a long breath. ,explain:

"What a unique ship... I understand your request. I can undertake the construction of these two ships. However, this drawing is not detailed enough, and many parts of the structure are missing, such as quite a few Important engines, main control computers, detectors and sensors, main weapons..."

Spangler's prosthetic eyes looked at Russell, and the meaning was self-evident.

"We will solve those ourselves." Russell pretended not to see what he meant: "You only need to carry out the project according to the existing parts on the drawings. I will arrange for the missing parts to be delivered later. You only need to assemble them." Good – it also reduces the workload, doesn’t it?”

"...Exactly." Technical Sage Spangler lowered his head and said.

He already understood what Russell meant. The shipbuilding order he undertook was only responsible for producing hulls and some other basic frames with the lowest technical content, as well as providing legal registration for these ships.

Russell didn't want to hand over any of the precious core components of the STC to him.

The former technical sage would never give up the opportunity to obtain precious STCs. Even if he messed around, he would still get some precious technological relics from the Star Bomber's subordinates, but now he has no right to bargain.

Because the price quoted by Russell was too high...

Since the opening of the L-Stargate, countless ships have passed through the terminal exit every day, and there has been an endless flow. 3% of the toll tax paid by each ship when transiting through Falla fell into the personal control of Governor Falla. . Even though it cost a lot of money to buy food for Koroniai. The wealth Russell now has at his disposal is still astronomical.

Faced with the customer's seemingly insulting Throne Coin, the technical sage felt extremely humiliated.

Then he endured it.

With the signing of the contract, a large amount of funds quickly flowed into the hands of the Embra Mechanicus. This somewhat sleepy urban planet began to operate again. The idle orbital dock was activated, the new dock began to expand, and the suspended space elevator project was also It was restarted due to the need to transport supplies.

With Russell's absolute financial support, a new round of ideal city construction began.

The scientific research director who was forced by Russell to learn how to talk about business came out of the trip without observing any business skills. He just learned how to throw money, and then returned to the research base to continue living at home. The integrated prosthetic body transformation of the practical missionaries is also progressing steadily.

Russell, who had arranged everything, left Falla and returned to his loyal critical base.

"I can finally clean up the loot."

After the gray goo mothership docked above the hatching planet, Russell sighed sincerely as he looked at the transport bugs.

As soon as he entered the critical base galaxy, Koroniai's soft and delicate voice was transmitted into his mind through the soul link, which made Russell tremble all over and almost couldn't control it.

"Marshal, what's wrong with you?"

Russell quickly stabilized his thoughts and said: "It's nothing, Koroniai is crying with me, saying that he has too much work and is exhausted, so he can take credit and reward..."

"Really?" Gray Feng was suspicious.

"real……"

In a sense, Russell was telling the truth. The size of the Eldar's Arkworld was too huge. Even if the insect swarm worked around the clock for 996 days and nights during this period, they could only clean up the outer parts of the Arkworld's corpse.

Even so, the harvest has been quite rich. The biomass recovered from the collapsed ecosystem of the Ark has already made Koroniai burp.

Not to mention that there are a large number of Eldar weapons that are still intact, such as the Spirit Bone Armor, the special melt weapons of the Eldar Fire Dragon Warriors, the Wind Rider, the Falcon Jetbike, and various Eldar fighter jets that are simply uncontrollable by mortals. , and even the Spirit Bone Titan and the Nether Titan...

Although these alien weapons are not convenient to use when fighting side by side with the human empire, they provide excellent experimental samples for the Order of Truth to study Eldar technology, so that they can design some more powerful and cooler weapons and vehicles. .

——The previous Sailfish scientific research ship and Swordfish frigate were based on the flexibility of Eldar ships.

In addition to arms, the first wave of insect swarms that cleared the battlefield focused on recovering a large number of Eldar books collected in the craft world. By studying these precious documents, theorists should be able to improve their understanding of psychic theory. It is possible that a few Eldar who have been trained by Koroniai will be needed as translators.

All kinds of trophies from the Eldar were neatly sorted by Koroniai. Russell only went through them briefly and did not continue to stay on the incubation planet.

Because compared to the weapons and books of the Eldar, those two special trophies obviously attracted Russell's attention more, and they were also the main purpose of his coming here.

"The defense system is heating up and entering an alert state."

"Emergency plan δ is ready to be launched; the No. 13 quarantine agreement comes into effect."

"Start pumping in energy and apply to awaken the 'anti-entropy' AI."
