Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

In the 39th year of the 40th millennium, Russell carried Mortarion away from the Eye of Terror and came to Cadia, the Gate of Chaos.

He remembered that he had killed his loving father in the 40th year of the 40th millennium, but after accessing the L-Stargate network to calibrate the clock through the Cadia Stargate, Russell discovered that it was a year ago.

"You're lucky, the error is only one year." Russell was very happy. He was already prepared to step out of the Eye of Terror and find Horus attacking Terra.

It was the subspace that made him like this, it was the subspace that harmed him.

Due to the influence of subspace and the objective time curvature effect caused by massive celestial bodies, the time flow rate in various regions of the Milky Way is inconsistent. For a long time, human civilization has used its home star, Holy Terra, as the time anchor to calculate time. Therefore, it is not surprising that decrees issued five hundred years ago are often implemented two thousand years ago.

It wasn't until the Terra Expedition was launched, the expedition fleet sailed into the sea of ​​​​stars, and important node galaxies were connected through the L-Stargate, that too many human colonies scattered throughout the galaxy were finally able to synchronize their clocks in a true sense.

So far, about 1/8 of the major galaxies in the Extreme Star Region are connected to the stargate network, especially planets such as Badab, Klentalina, Fenris, Huangquan No. 8... and other planets.

Russell arrived at the star port in close orbit of the Cadia Star Gate through teleportation, and looked up at the purple starry sky above his head.

The turbulence in the Eye of Terror is rapid, violent and disorderly. The public and private star gates in the Cadia system are very crowded, and the star port is crowded with cargo ships and war fleets from surrounding systems.

"The aftermath of my loving father's death has begun to appear." Mortarion's weak voice sounded weak. "In one year, all subspace routes will be cut off, and subspace storms will rage in disorder..."

The long night is coming.

In the distant past, after the 21st millennium AD of mankind, it was a giant subspace storm on a galactic scale and the Iron Man rebellion that ended the golden age of mankind, bringing about the painful and desperate catastrophe of the Old Night, which would bring about aliens and aliens. The utter hatred of AI is engraved deep into the soul of every human being and can never be erased.

"But this time is different," Russell said. He made a fist with his left hand and pointed with his thumb to the giant structure behind him that was shining with green light. "Today's human beings are no longer stuck at the speed of light. They don't need to rely on the super-light speed stargate network in the Sea of ​​Souls to link the dotted human colonies. Order will be maintained." , ignorance and superstition will be expelled.”

"I said the long night will never come again because I'm here."

Mortarion looked down at Russell, and the dark green decaying power armor peeled off from his body, revealing pale but strong muscle lines.

"In that case, I will go with you." Mortarion said tremblingly.

Russell casually got a cloak for Mortarion to put on, and used his biometric code to directly contact Lord Primus of Cadia in the starport, intending to ask him for the Stargate's access permission to return to Falla.

It's not that Russell doesn't dare to walk through the subspace in the physical body. The current sea conditions of the main soul sea are not good. He is afraid that when he returns to Falla, he will find that hundreds of years have passed.

If Gray Wind waits for him for hundreds of years, Russell feels that he will be treated horribly.

"Huh?" Mortarion suddenly noticed that a surprised expression flashed across Russell's face, who was communicating with the Cadia government.

"What's wrong?" Mortarion asked.

"Nothing, just a little unexpected." Russell cut off the communication and replied: "No need to ask the Lord of Cardia for a way, a branch of the Order of Truth happened to be stationed here to work on a project, I want to go directly to them. "

"The branch of the Order of Truth is stationed in Cadia?" Mortarian was confused. As far as he knew, Cadia was the most important fortress planet in the human empire, perhaps the only one.

This fortress planet located at the door of the Eye of Terror, guarding the Gate of Chaos, and always maintaining a state of total war, would actually tolerate members of an organization that is an illegal regime in principle to be stationed here for a long time? What project of a nature worthy of such compromise by the Empire?

"Just ask the project leader." Russell said, taking Mortarion out of the star port and boarding a transport plane to Cadia.

On the surface of the planet Cadia, on the Elysion plain where countless black stone obelisks stood, Russell saw the huge machine similar to a particle accelerator deployed on it, and also met the person in charge of the project. Gustav.

Gustav is a strong old man nearly three meters tall. He looks bigger than Mortarion without armor, but under his strong body is an aging life that is about to be extinguished. The prosthetic transformation on his body shows that It sounds exaggerated, but it is mostly auxiliary work and does not touch on the fundamentals. In particular, the most critical aspects of mechanical ascension, the 'consciousness formatting' and the 'synthetic personality matrix', were sternly rejected by him.

Conservative relic, Russell thought to himself, and then he asked Gustav: "Did the Federation sign any agreement with the Empire while I was away? What are you doing in Cadia?"

"We are trying to awaken the black stone obelisk array here to prepare for closing the Eye of Terror in the future." Gustav answered truthfully.

"Oh?" Russell suddenly became interested, and even Mortarion, who was sitting silently beside him, couldn't help but pricked up his ears.

Gustav explained to Russell a series of things that happened during his absence:

Destroying Solemnath, capturing the Void Dragon, deciphering the Black Stone...and Gray Wind's plan to put all the Breakers into the Eye of Terror and then close the door.

"The Order has cracked the secret of the Black Stone. We can now artificially synthesize Black Stone through equipment such as nano deformers." Gustav said: "Currently, a large number of Project Teams from the Order of Truth are dispersed and deployed throughout the galaxy. The array of black stone obelisks closes those scattered and scattered small warp cracks.”

"Unexpected progress, it seems that Gray Wind should be praised when he goes back... But now that we can independently produce black stone creations, why are you trying to activate these black stone obelisks left by the Necron on Cadia? ?" Russell was a little confused.

"Because the cost of synthesizing black stone has always been high, although the output is considerable, the supply is still in short supply compared to the gap in the entire galaxy." Gustav explained.

After all, in addition to supplying Gray Wind's plan to close all subspace rifts in the galaxy, the Human Federation and the Human Empire also have a huge demand for black stone creations that can isolate subspace pollution. The output is large, but not enough.

"So the focus of my faction's work is still on the black stone creations of the Necron." Gustav continued: "There are huge amounts of black stone creations left by the Necron scattered throughout the galaxy. These black stones are not made of We manufacture our own products so we have no control over them.

But after a long period of research and the assistance of surface acceleration instruments, I have successfully cracked about 7/10 of the instruction set encoding of the Necron. We can directly hack into the system of the Necron ruins and forcibly seize control of these ready-made black stones. . This can greatly reduce the resource consumption of synthesizing black stone, and can also speed up the completion of Secretary-General Gray Wind's plan. "

In short, it is better to rob than to create.

Russell nodded: "I see... It's not surprising that you can decipher the secret of black stone synthesis with the help of the fragments of the Void Dragon. What's more, you actually forcibly cracked the technology of the Necrons without unlocking the strong artificial intelligence. This It surprised me.”

"It's just a clumsy trick to use time to accelerate the hard stack of computing power and computing time. It's half the result with twice the result, and it's not worth mentioning." Gustave did not have a high evaluation of his achievements.

Gustav did not tell Russell about the Astrologer Oerikan and the 'Ascension Agreement' because he didn't know about it either.

The Ascension Agreement has been listed as the top secret of the entire Order by Gray Wind from the very beginning. Even those with high qualifications and status like Gustav are not qualified to understand it.
