Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

"Eldar?"

"Eldar."

"Hiss—those rumors turned out to be true?!" Banhart's mind was shaken to a great extent.

Russell became interested: "What are the rumors? Tell me about them?"

Banhart pondered for a moment and said: "When the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet of the Terra Expedition passed through the Keranna Sector, I had a meeting with their commander 'Sergius'. The L-Star Gate's That's when the site selection was negotiated.

While chatting, I also noticed that although the ships of the expedition fleet came from the Imperial Navy, they were very different from the conventional models currently in service. Just from the appearance, it could be seen that many new weapons and shields were installed. As for the core engines and The pressurized cabin is also modified for expedition journeys...

Even if a forging world with full production capacity is required to work desperately to fully refit a large-scale expedition fleet, the time required will be calculated in centuries. However, the time spent in the Far East Star Region was only less than 70 years. "

"The most terrifying thing is that there are 13 fleets like this."

Russell nodded: "Your estimate of time is not wrong. The Adeptus Mechanicus has always been so efficient. But it is biased.

It takes more than a century to build a battleship in the Forge World, but not because it really takes a century, but because many redundant ritual links and blessing steps slow down the progress. If we can abandon superstition, reduce costs and increase efficiency, let the Mechanicus teach If the wise men work hard, it is not impossible to build a battleship in 10 years. "

Banhart smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sir Russell, just tell me what you said, but you must not let the sages of the Adeptus Mechanicus hear it."

Regarding matters of faith, oil guys are very irritable.

"Of course I know." Russell smiled faintly: "Although the blessing ceremony of the Adeptus Mechanicus is complicated, it is not simply superstition. The blessing of the God of All Machines and the favor of the Emperor can indeed prevent the corruption of Chaos. "

The empire's warships have to sail into the subspace. Once these blessing steps are omitted, it means a huge safety hazard.

Banhart nodded in agreement: "You are right, that's why I became curious when chatting with Commander Sergius. The ship modification of the Second Expeditionary Fleet took too short time and lacked the necessary blessing steps. , how should ships that have not been blessed by the God Emperor deal with the invasion of Chaos?"

"The answer he gave me was - Eldar."

Banhart paused and looked serious: "Most of the technical support for building the Valkyrie and renovating the expedition fleet came from an organization called the 'Order of Truth', which is composed of followers of the Star Destroyer. It is said that Truth The Order holds in its hands a dark technology that can burn living psychic races into dust, and the dust created through this technology is the purest and most precious spiritual energy in the galaxy."

"According to Sergius, by consuming psychic dust as energy, the expedition fleet can drive an ancient technological creation called the 'psionic repulsion field' to continuously purify all disharmonious spiritual spectrums within a certain range. Achieve the magical effect of purifying chaos."

Banhart's tone was very firm, because he had personally verified the sacred power of the psychic repulsion field.

"Every operation of the 'psionic repulsion field' consumes a lot of energy, so the gap in the psychic dust of the Second Expeditionary Fleet is quite large... To be honest with you, Lord Russell, Commander Sergius purchased it from me before he left. I bought a lot of Eldar slaves as firewood, and I also successfully purchased a psychic repulsion field generator and set it up in my mansion."

Only those who have experienced it personally have the right to speak. Governor Banhart obviously has the highest regard for the psionic repulsion field.

As for why there are Eldar slaves in Banhart's hands... then we have to ask about his heavenly world, the Emerald Star, where there might be remnants of Ran Dan or Mother Short People. The imperial nobles are very fancy in this respect.

Russell supported his chin with one hand and continued: "In addition to the psychic repulsion field, the Star Bomber also possesses many mysterious psychic technologies from the dark age of technology, but these technologies all require psychic energy to be driven.

Among all the intelligent races, the Eldar have the highest psychic potential. Hunting the Eldar is the best way to obtain dust - is this the rumor you are talking about? "

"That's right." Banhart nodded in agreement: "This rumor has been widely circulated among the Rogue Traders and the Black Market of the Undernest. In the Kelenna sector alone, as many as a dozen bounty hunter groups have emerged, chasing them everywhere. A high-priced bounty issued by the Star Slinger for the Eldar."

Before the arrival of the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet, he thought that the trend of bounty hunters killing the Eldar was just a farce, but now, the messenger of the Star Bomber came to him in person, and he couldn't help but not believe it.

Russell chuckled and made no comment.

He was right to issue this bounty order, but in the end he didn't receive much psychic dust. Most of the Eldar captured by the bounty hunter group were intercepted by the passing expedition fleet. They were in urgent need of psychic dust resources and would even burn humans to obtain dust when necessary.

It has been 15 years since the Terra Expedition set sail. There have even been a large number of nomadic tribes in the Extreme Star Territory that specifically pursue the Terra Expedition route. They make a living by hunting the Wild Eldar and Dark Eldar and exchanging resources with major expedition fleets.

These are the typhoon benefits caused by his reward order, and they are things Russell did not plan.

"If Master Star Bomber needs the Eldar... I do have some channels." Benhardt Medius suddenly slowed down and said cautiously.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Russell was a little surprised.

The Eldar are not easy to catch. This race is very tough both physically and technologically. Even if Governor Banhart kept some Eldar slaves in captivity on the Emerald Planet to provide some special services to the dignitaries of the human empire, the scale should not be too large. Compared with Russell's energy needs, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Banhart smiled narrowly and said hesitantly: "I believe that as Lord Russell, you can understand to some extent that the Dark Eldar in the Dark City of Commorragh possess some special cloning technology. , even the Eldar, a life with an extremely complex genetic structure, can be produced in large quantities."

"... To be honest, I have a friend who has some channels with the Dark Eldar. As long as he is willing to pay a sufficient price, it will not be a problem to get a large number of living Eldar from Commorragh."

Russell: "Huh?"

It took him a few seconds to recover from the shock. This friend, Banhart, really gave him a small empire shock.

At this moment, he could only sigh. The governor of the Kerenna Sector, Benhard Medius, was indeed a bureaucrat of the Human Empire.
