Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

When Joshua's request for help was sent back to the Far Eastern Frontier, Russell was working with Koroniai to hunt down a group of Dark Eldar pirates who were traveling around on the Webway in the Irenesia sector in the northern star belt.

If nothing else goes wrong, after destroying this pirate group, Koroniai can use the Erincia sector as a springboard to complete the cleanup of the northern part of the Nightmare Hollow within twenty years, and realize the control of approximately 1/4 of the entire Far East region. Actual control of the northern star belt.

Then Russell's plan went wrong as expected.

"Marshal Marshal! Oh no, no no! The 13th Expeditionary Fleet following Joshua is fighting with the clay artist's followers!"

Carrying this sudden bad news, Gray Wind trembled through the biomass transportation pipeline covered with fine pink tentacles, and hurriedly ran into the chest of the "Mother of Torment" biological mothership. After passing through the valve and entering the mothership chamber, it saw an unexpected scene:

"Huh? Why are you kneeling on the ground, Koroniai?"

Gray Wind looked puzzledly at Russell, who was sitting on the throne of flesh and blood with one hand on his forehead and not speaking, and then at Koroniai, who was kneeling in front of Russell, and he was even more confused.

"I made a mistake." Koroniai knelt on the ground and answered Gray Feng's question without daring to move. Her soft voice trembled slightly, making Gray Feng's whole body stand up in nano-pimples.

"What mistake did you make?" Gray Wind asked next.

Koroniai was silent. This seemed to be an unspeakable question for him.

Gray Wind turned his confused gaze to the direction of the Throne of Flesh. Russell looked at Gray Wind helplessly and said with lingering fear: "It just wanted to prick me with the stinger on its tail...you know what's inside."

Stingers on the tail? Gray Wind was stunned for a moment and then reacted suddenly. The little sympathy he felt for Koroniai in his heart suddenly disappeared: "Obviously I was the one who came first..."

"What do you mean?" Russell looked at Gray Feng with disbelief: "You don't need to rely on obtaining genetic information to evolve yourself."

"Huh?" Gray Feng was shocked: "So this is why?"

The situation seemed to be a little different from what she thought.

"Well, just for this. Koroniai just confessed to me." Russell was very tired when he said this: "The Zerg will obtain genetic information by devouring the biomass of other races, absorbing the advantages and writing them into its own DNA. , in order to improve one’s own genes and achieve evolution.”

Koroniai, who was kneeling in front of the throne of flesh and blood, raised his head carefully and whispered: "The master is the most powerful individual creature I have ever seen. From the first time I met the master, I have been imagining what if If I can obtain the master's genes, how powerful a Zerg individual can I be, and how high will my life level be upgraded to?"

But it would never dare to eat its owner in a physical sense, so Koroniai had to start planning how to eat Russell in a physical sense.

For this purpose, Koroniai fabricated several female bodies that fit the aesthetics of adult male humans, and repeatedly adjusted the details of the body shape and appearance in an attempt to impress the owner. However, Russell did not accept this approach at all, and it has not been around for decades. It’s so sad to get even the slightest bit of useful gene fragments—Russell hasn’t even lost any hair or dander.

"This is actually to prevent someone from developing a biological virus targeting my genes. As you know, my physical body is very fragile and lacks resistance to physical damage in the physical universe." Russell enlightened.

There was still half a sentence he didn't say - his biggest target was Coroniai. The life-shaper Queen's accomplishments in genetic engineering were beyond the reach of even the most lofty biological sage in the Adeptus Mechanicus. .

Seeing the trembling Koroniai kneeling on the ground, Gray Wind lost his temper. He walked to the insect queen and squatted down, explaining: "Coroniai, you actually take it for granted. The marshal's body just doesn't exist. They are just ordinary humans who have undergone any biochemical modification. If you go to Falla and ask for a hair from anyone, the key genetic information collected will be no different from that of a marshal."

Koroniai didn't speak, and Gray Wind felt that it probably didn't listen. It seemed that it wouldn't give up until it could collect Russell's genes.

Russell was considering whether to pull out his hair to disillusion Coroniai's unrealistic idea. He couldn't give his virginity, which he had treasured for more than two hundred years, to a big bug, as that would be a bit too abstract.

"Let Koroniai kneel down for a while longer. Let's not mention its undue desire for me. Gray Wind, why are you running over in such a hurry?" Russell asked: "At this time, you should be talking to Ai The capital planet of the Lincia sector, 'Aisalin', should release the nano-plague."

"Oh!" Gray Feng quickly stood up.

The impact that Koroniai attempted to commit on Gray Wind was so great that it almost forgot the main reason why it came here.

"I just received the message from Joshua that the 13th Expeditionary Fleet was fighting with the clay artist's followers." Gray Wind said concisely:

"In addition to believing in Clay Artists and the Necrons who call themselves 'Free Men'. The Adeptus Mechanicus of Antax also regards Clay Artists as manifestations of the Almighty Mechanical God. They betrayed the human empire and chose to follow Clay Artists and transformed themselves into The organization was renamed the 'Society of Mechanical Arts'."

It is worth mentioning that the two organizations "Freemen" and "Mechanical Art Association" dislike each other, but because they believe in the same god, they don't go to the point of fighting each other as soon as they meet.

Russell changed his hand to hold his forehead with one hand, and actually laughed: "What a group of talents, they can fight with a clay artist with such a good temper."

"Well, the conflict with the clay artist is actually half of the Order of Truth's responsibility." Gray Wind briefly told Russell about Joshua's deliberate and hasty execution of Senerio's wrong mission in order to obtain experimental data.

"That's it, then it's okay." Then Russell became even more unbearable.

There are still a lot of unresolved issues in their own backyard, but expatriates continue to cause trouble outside. This is because they are afraid that their boss's mentality is not bad enough.

Russell was neither surprised nor surprised by the news that clay artists appeared in this universe. Compared with the spirit bodies of Jabakster, Thorin and the malicious Suzheng host in the Zero Soul Stone, they were even gray. It is not surprising that the wind itself and the God of the Void Realm come to stir up the water.

"A forge world became a 25-year-old boy...daily life in the empire. On the other hand, about the Necrons gaining their souls and becoming free people, I wonder how the Silent King and some of the more powerful Emperors will react to this after the news spreads?... The Sautec dynasty is also a great dynasty."

Russell rubbed his temples: "It's always bad news, isn't there some exciting news?"

"Yes." Gray Feng came to Russell with brisk steps, squeezed his neck and rubbed his shoulders thoughtfully, and said while pressing: "Anti-entropy told me that the matter decompressor will be completed soon. Marshal, do you want to go back to the Tranquil Black Realm?"

Russell nodded decisively: "Of course."

Leaving all the cleaning work of the northern star belt of the Far Eastern Frontier to Koroniai, Russell and Gray Wind prepared to leave the front line of the Far Eastern Integration War.

Unable to bear to keep Koroniai downcast, Russell took advantage of the gap before leaving and said to it: "Although my genetic information is essentially the same as that of ordinary humans, if you really want it... I'll give it to you." It's not impossible. But the prerequisite is that you do your job well first, and I will accept it."

Just pulling out a hair is not a big deal.

After getting the master's promise, Koroniai, who was originally depressed, suddenly became happy, maybe a little too happy. Looking at its cheerful look, Russell always felt that something was not right.

"Marshal, let's go."

"coming."

Full of suspicions, Russell boarded the Gray Goo mothership under Coroniai's excited gaze and left the capital galaxy "Aisalin" of the Erincia sector.

The matter decompressor built by the Anti-Entropy and Suzheng Hosts is located in the center of the Great Hollow in the Nightmare Seat, a black hole horizon named by Russell as the "Tranquil Black Domain". Literally, it is indeed very peaceful here.

The great collapse caused by the Worm of Time tore apart the Far Eastern frontier and also emptied the surrounding area of ​​all potential threats. Even the webway passing through this space and time was broken. This is a question from some captured Dark Eldar pirates. from.

Russell was not very particular about this aspect, so he burned it after asking. There is quite a shortage of psychic dust recently.

Due to the short vertical length of the northern star belt, the Tranquil Black Territory was still within the jumping range of the Gray Goo mothership's jump engine. Gray Wind soon took Russell back to the place given by the Worm of Time.

Entering the quiet black domain, what the sensor sees is pitch-black nothingness. The everything-devouring nature of a black hole and the distortion effect of its powerful gravity on space-time make it difficult to detect by conventional means other than gravitational waves and macroelectromagnetic field observations.

In the dark and vast astronomical range, the only entity that can be detected is the giant man-made structure floating in the black hole's horizon like a lone boat - the matter decompressor.

Although it is called a matter decompressor, the huge platform that relies on the gravitational redirection engine to anchor itself at the critical point of the black hole event horizon, as well as a series of decompressors, processors and the zero-point smelting furnace running around the platform can only be regarded as The perimeter of the megastructure.

The real core component of the giant structure called the "Matter Decompressor" is a "gravity drilling" that penetrates a twisted gravity deep into the black hole's singularity to continuously dig out matter.

That is the hand of God that humans use to extract resources from the belly of the black hole, the gluttonous beast that devours the universe.

"It sounds very irritating to say this, but in fact, black holes not only rely on their own huge gravity to swallow matter to increase their own mass - black holes also radiate matter and energy outwards, reducing their own mass. This process is not understood How to vividly call it 'black hole evaporation'."

The Gray Goo mothership, which had just completed its superluminal jump, started its thrusters and drove towards the matter decompressor at sub-light speed. While driving, Gray Wind continued to say to Russell:

"Generally speaking, the smaller the black hole, the higher the temperature and the more unstable the state. Correspondingly, the evaporation rate is higher. It may even evaporate the mass equivalent to several standard suns in one Terra year. Even for a relatively stable supermassive black hole, its natural evaporation rate far exceeds the mining efficiency of matter decompressors."

So in fact, building a matter decompressor on the black hole horizon is actually equivalent to connecting a small water pipe from the side of the Three Gorges Dam that is constantly releasing water to make tea. It may be used for a whole year without being released for a second. Walking a lot of water.

"Don't say such disappointing words at this time." Russell gently hugged Gray Feng's neck and rubbed the side of his face against its smooth face: "I know everything you said, but if you can use technology to Conquering black holes and obtaining matter by reversing singularities is an unprecedented achievement in itself."

"That's right." Gray Feng also nudged Russell.

The vast black hole accretion disk showed bizarre geometric colors under the ship's hull. The ever-changing scene was passing by in the field of view of the optical sensor. In front of the Gray Goo mothership's course, one could already see the ship equipped with full heavy firepower. Tranquil Black Domain Space Station.

Armed Sky Castle entered the field of view and completed the identification of the Gray Gu mothership at the same time. The weapon systems locked on Gray Wind all re-entered the dormant state, and the anti-entropy greetings came over:

"The Serenity Black Space Station welcomes your visit, Ms. Gray Wind."

"You are still so programmed. I brought the Marshal back. He wants to personally start the first operation of the matter decompressor."

"It should be so." Anti-Entropy readily agreed.

The Gray Gu mothership dragged You Ying's trajectory and approached the huge cylindrical platform that was silent at the critical balance point of the black hole's horizon. It may not be appropriate to call it a cylinder. The main structure of the matter decompressor is based on a machine that is close to the size of an asteroid. With a huge gravity drill as the core, the overall appearance is ambiguous between a disk and a cylinder.

Climbing onto the platform, Russell saw the prototype of the Scholar Power Armor: Mechanical Angel.

A secondary server core of Anti-Entropy is installed in the body of the Mechanical Angel and used as its regular carrier. Seeing the arrival of Russell and Gray Wind, the Mechanical Angel's tall body of 3.14 meters slowly bowed and saluted with the ancient etiquette from the dark age of technology, and then led them both into the interior of the super gravity drill.

"As you can see, the construction of the matter decompressor has been completed perfectly. Now you only need to start the drill yourself to start the first operation. This giant structure will be able to mine endless amounts of energy from the black hole singularity in the years to come. Original source.”

The mechanical angel walked in front of Russell with heavy steps, making a clanging sound of metal friction with each step: "With the advantage of being near the water, first come first served, the material decompressor can completely maintain itself by consuming the original resources it mines and reprocessing it. This results in a near-eternal working life—until the day the black hole is exhausted.”

"The operation of the machinery may be perfect, but some unplanned emergencies may always occur in a too long period of time. Therefore, the material decompressor still has an ecological module built in, and a team of human engineers will be stationed here to take care of regular routines. Maintenance and resource statistics work are rotated every fifty years.”

The current Order of Truth is very short of people, but no matter how short of people it is, Anti-Entropy still squeezes out the manpower needed to maintain the material decompressor from the endless planetary reconstruction work.

The planetary reconstruction work in the Far East Frontier is certainly important, but as an important resource facility to support future interstellar construction, the material decompressor has a higher priority. Anti-Entropy has always been very rational in judging the priorities of things.

Amid the introduction of the Mechanical Angel, the group came to the energy valve located on the top of the super drill.

Russell stood beside the mechanical angel and looked forward. In the center of the open platform that looked like a cross-section of a celestial body, there was a crystal structure the size of an adult's head. That was the core control of the material decompressor.

"Please imprint your biometric information into the crystal brain to obtain the highest authority. From now on, whether this gravity drill stops or restarts, it needs your authorization." Anti-Entropy said, opening the way forward for Russell .

"Although the process is a bit cumbersome, sometimes the completion of a major project requires such a sense of ceremony." Russell breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward.

Mechanical Angel did not express an opinion. Facts have proved that anti-entropy’s understanding of human beings is not wrong. Human beings are such twisted creatures. Most things usually happen with ease, but in special moments they will happily take care of themselves. Looking for trouble.

For example, ceremonial tasks such as cutting the ribbon for the first time when a project is launched, or unpacking newly purchased items for the first time, will not be left to artificial intelligence to save trouble.

Russell came all the way to the crystal structure called the "crystal brain" by reverse entropy, and then pressed his palm on it.

The crystal brain read and recorded biometric information very quickly. A faint stream of light passed by in a flash. After Russell gave permission to "start drilling", a sharp hum that exceeded the hearing range of the human ear penetrated the entire matter decompressor. structure.

The gravity drill was started first, and a twisted gravity beam so thin that it had no diameter was penetrated deeply into the black hole's horizon. The supporting facilities around the drilling platform were then awakened, the zero-point smelting furnace began to roar in the vacuum, and the nanodeformer also began to operate. The man-made giant machine the size of an asteroid was like a giant beast in the starry sky with its eyes open, letting out its first roar in the quiet black realm.

For a moment, Russell felt that the accretion disk and light and dust passing by his feet felt stagnant for a moment, as if the expanding nature of space and time had been stagnated due to the black hole singularity being flipped over. This weird stagnation could not be explained. It returned to normal within a very short period of time.

"Time is horizon, gravity is desire."

For no reason, Russell suddenly muttered such a meaningless sentence.

Under his feet, the gravity drill has begun to rotate, and a steady stream of original matter is extracted from the black hole, boiling and sent to the zero-point smelting furnace and nano deformer for preliminary processing.

Since then, the resource problem that has been plaguing Russell has been completely solved.

Material Decompressor, fully online.
