Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Far Eastern star field, southern star belt.

In the dark galaxy, there are groups of insect biological ships covered in chitin carapace, with pink tentacles extending from their mouthparts, sniffing out the psychic fluctuations and bioelectrical signals in the surrounding space. The insect swarm in Koroniai is on routine patrol.

This galaxy located in the southern part of the Far East star field is called 'Elkanas'. There was originally a bright mature star burning in the center, but as an old scientist named 'Gustav' applied for a curved time accelerator Using the permission, he moved his laboratory here.

A large number of internal energy mining facilities were built, and a huge radiation blocking net completely enveloped the entire star. As the last solar cells were installed in place, the giant structure called the 'Dyson Sphere' greedily swallowed all the energy of the star. Light and heat turned the originally bright Elkanas galaxy into darkness - the energy extracted from the stars was used to drive the vacuum zero-point energy extractor.

The vacuum zero-point energy extracted from the quantum ocean will be used to drive the 'surface time accelerometer' to accelerate the flow of time in Gustav's laboratory to the highest limit that current theory can support.

This is a last resort,

Gustav did not dare to unlock the truly superior strong artificial intelligence. He used the stupidest way to pile up computing power, trying to use ordinary computers and conventional cogitator arrays to hard-decode the Necron's logic code and instruction set, and crack the Black Stone. the mystery.

This clumsy process takes a hopelessly long time.

A time machine can speed up this process, but if you want to shorten such a long calculation process to be completed before Gustav dies of old age, the energy consumed is terrifyingly huge.

How huge is the energy consumption of this computing project? ——So big that even the Dyson sphere, which is almost equated with endless energy in science fiction works, here can only serve as an accelerant for ignition.

Compared with the ambitions of anthropologists, stars are too weak.

Only the endless vacuum zero-point energy in the quantum sea can satisfy the greedy appetite of the cogitator's array calculations for hundreds of thousands of years.

Year 39 of the 40th Millennium. Gustav walked out of his laboratory as usual and compiled and uploaded the research reports from the past period. Ever since his health began to decline, Gustav had made a habit of backing up his research data every once in a while.

Just in case he died suddenly that day and a lot of results were lost.

This kind of thing has happened before. Some lazy researchers will store all the information in their own heads. As a result, they suddenly died from a short circuit one night during a liver project. In this case, even if the data is restored afterwards, there will inevitably be omissions, resulting in some important problems. The field research went back to before liberation overnight.

Blackstone's research was too important, and Gustav would never allow this to happen to him.

After backing up the computing data during this period, Gustav connected to the human federation's super-light communication network and prepared to learn about what happened recently that deserved attention.

"Um?"

Just after calibrating the clock, an email from one of his students attracted Gustav's attention.

[Teacher, go and browse the 10th edition of the announcement released by the sect at the end of 038! 】

"Has this child been so startled before?" Gustav visited the online portal of the Order of Truth with doubts.

The official announcement of the Order of Truth is updated every year, mainly announcing some transparent financial expenditures, honors received by people who have made significant contributions, copyright disputes over some conflicting topics... and other trivial matters, large or small.

But something is different this time.

The 10th edition of the announcement released in 038 can be seen as unusual just from the title.

[The Chief Secretary-General of the Federation successfully captured the Star God fragment ‘Void Dragon’. 】

[A large amount of precious technical information was extracted from the Star God's consciousness, among which the special material 'Black Stone' with a bidirectional subspace magnetic pole is the most eye-catching. 】

What follows is a long section of popular science about what the black stone is, what it looks like, and its uses... Gustav chose to skip it.

[Research on the Star God fragment 'Void Dragon' is proceeding in an orderly manner. Ms. Plumelia, spokesperson of the Department of Psychic Energy, commented on this: The Federation will soon be able to truly master the secrets of the Void Dragon and the Black Stone, and artificially synthesize them. Blackstone's attempts have made initial breakthroughs. In the near future, the 'Blackstone Obelisk' is expected to become a cheaper and more efficient solution to subspace pollution than the 'Pure Spirit Field'. 】

[Chief Secretary-General Gray Feng issued a statement: Artificially synthesized black stone will inevitably cause an impact on the market of the high-priced pure spiritual field, but it will not shake the status of psychic dust as the only legal currency of the Federation...]

…

Gustav looked at Gray Feng who was chatting in the interview in the holographic projection, and then looked down at the endless Dyson sphere below the laboratory, where a star in its prime was wrapped.

A feeling of relief emerged from Gustave's heart.

There was a notification in the background, and the student who noticed that he had accessed the terminal sent a communication request.

Gustav accepted.

"Teacher! About the black stone and the void dragon fragments..."

"Don't be so anxious, I've already seen it." Gustave looked at the young man's anxious expression in the holographic projection and said with a smile: "I've already seen the announcement, it's very good, it's really very good."

"But teacher, your research..." The young student clenched his fist with his left hand, looking a little angry, "Are you really okay?"

Years of hard work being wiped out in one fell swoop is not a mental shock that ordinary people can bear.

He has seen some scholars angrily commit suicide because their research results were published a few hours later than their peers and they missed out on the honor that should have belonged to them.

He had also seen his teacher's devotion and hard work in black stone research, so it was really hard for him to believe Gustav's superficial smile.

"I'm fine, kid, what can happen to me?" Gustav let out a long sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his dull old skin:

"In the past time, I have often thought about whether the path I have chosen is correct. Is my research direction wrong? Can I succeed in hard-decoding the logic code of the Necron?... The Federation has approved a large amount of resources for me. This It makes me worry even more.”

"I'm afraid that my path is actually wrong, and I'm even more worried that one day I die, but the secret of the Black Stone is still not revealed, and humans still can't gain dominance in the subspace..."

"But now, I don't have to be afraid anymore." Gustav's expression was full of relief: "Someone has solved the secret of the Black Stone before me. Nothing makes me happier than this."

As for material rewards and academic honors, that doesn't matter.

It really doesn't matter.
