Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"How much do we know about our enemy?"

After talking about the Astra Militarum, Ryan talked about another more important military matter.

Adam snapped his fingers, and what they needed to know immediately appeared on the tactical table according to his intention, which was a visual display of information about the enemy.

All information on it comes from the Celestial Engine.

This symbol of the Void Armed Forces of the Tyrone Sector, the spiritual totem of military fans throughout the sector, and the product of an unimaginable miracle project, has not been without development in these years.

In addition to the already existing solar engine and planetary engine, the celestial engine also has four new artificial planet-level celestial bodies, as well as the satellites that these four artificial planets should have.

There is an Insight Engine full of information detection arrays, and the three artificial satellites surrounding it are covered with signal amplification devices to send detection waves thousands of light years away.

There are super hyperlight engines with hundreds of super light force field generators as huge as mountains, there are also logistics worlds dedicated to supplying the navy and army, and there are also matter engines that can directly control some physical laws like a star god. .

The original two Star God fragments are now imprisoned in the sun engine, responsible for providing energy for the entire celestial engine system. After all, the technology for applying the energy of the Star God fragments has also made rapid progress over the years.

The insight engine that is running all the time releases a directional detection wave that spans thousands of light-years. If this detection wave is not distorted and hidden by the matter engine, it is enough to kill all the carbon-based ships in the fleet when it passes by a fleet at close range. biology.

How many worlds are there along the way of the detection wave, how many resources and populations are there in the world? This massive amount of information from macro to micro can be collected and processed. Necrons, a race that relies heavily on matter, will naturally be detected. .

The leader of the First Legion stared in surprise at the information collection results displayed on the tactics table.

To Lion's surprise, the tactically clumsy Necrons did not concentrate most of their forces where they wanted to attack, but dispersed them outside the frontline battle zone demarcated by Guilliman.

The scanning results of the Insight Engine are real-time. When the Necrons are mobilizing their forces, even a transport ship rushing to the front line and how many Necron warriors are in the transport ship, as well as which system and system outside the war zone these Necron warriors are deployed in. It can be seen in any world.

If Ryan was forced to find fault with this information collection method, he could only find one single flaw: "Why do the skeletons that are mobilized to the frontline appear directly where they want to go, as if teleporting? The troop mobilization process was directly skipped.”

"Because they know that we are watching them with the Insight Engine." Gray replied, "They use the pocket dimension to mobilize their forces, which is why we see the enemy's forces teleporting."

"Is the pocket dimension impossible to detect?" Ryan asked curiously.

"It's not that it's impossible to detect, nor that it's impossible to interfere. We can even directly use the matter engine to close a pocket dimension and let all the skeletons in it die inside."

Gray shook his head, and then stretched out his finger to point to a teleported Necron transport ship on the star map displayed on the tactical table.

"The matter engines are closing these pocket dimensions as we speak, but not a single skeleton is dead as a result."

"They are very experienced. They have been constantly creating and crushing pocket dimensions from the beginning, and then the troops mobilized using pocket dimension technology can shuttle through thousands of created pocket dimensions at high frequency in a second. A thousand times, this is how we respond to our detection and interference."

Gray explained the complicated reasons he heard from the researchers to Ryan in as simple a way as possible.

After listening, Ryan looked at Azrael aside: "Did you understand?"

"Huh?" Azrael, who was wondering what he was thinking, raised his head.

Ryan looked away with a smile, looked at the deployment of the undead and sighed: "It's not that I can't understand the skeletons' method of dealing with the material engine, but I can't imagine how to create thousands of pocket dimensions, and in this kind of situation." It’s easy to find even one of those ghosts traveling through dimensions that are supposed to be isolated from each other a thousand times a second.”

"It's nothing to avoid detection in pocket dimensions. Their more powerful trick is to directly use pocket dimensions to attack us, just like what can be done with psychic means, jumping out from the shadows or out of a corner to give us a knife. "Gray said.

Ryan looked around suspiciously: "Then why didn't they show up here and behead us?"

"Because the main control intelligence in the flagship is automatically searching for all abnormalities around our current space coordinates, if there is tearing or leakage somewhere near the main dimension coordinate point of our real universe, the matter engine will block it ”

After speaking, Gray looked back at the crew member responsible for monitoring data on the bridge.

"How many times has the Matter Engine been blocked as I speak now?" Gray asked.

The crew member directly connected to the ship immediately responded: "Twenty-four thousand nine hundred and seven times."

Gray looked back at Ryan, shrugged and tilted his head.

"Damn it." Ryan stroked the beard on his chin with a solemn expression, "I thought it was calm before our official confrontation, but now we are already in a confrontation. Is your main control intelligence computing power enough? My flagship There is an abhorrent intelligence on the planet, which can use psychic technology to provide unlimited computing power in the past and future at the same time. If it is put to use..."

"It is better not to use psychic technology as much as possible." Gray replied, "Although our enemies are not good at psychic technology, they can apply it. It is enough to use it to deal with our psychic technology instead of against the Ancient Saint or the Ancient Eldar Empire. used."

"How can these skeletons use psychic powers?"

Azriel, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

The former Dark Angel Chapter Leader who was promoted to Legion Commander thought of his close friend and subordinate Ezekiel. Ezekiel believed that his psychic power could help the Gene Father in the coming war, so Azrael subconsciously did so. Ask questions.

"They cannot produce psychic energy, but they may have obtained trophies from the Ancient Saints and the Ancient Eldar." Gray looked at Azrael, "You can think of our enemies as the Ada in the Battle of Commorragh. People's dark relatives don't use psychic powers, but the psychic devices in their hands can be used directly, which is much easier to use than psychics. "

After saying that, Gray stared at the tactical table for a while, and then said: "Fortunately, the opponent's use of psychic energy is only for self-defense. Now the Eye of Fear is closed again... This is still a war on the material level. ”

"As long as the enemy can use common sense to understand, there is nothing to worry about."

Ryan pointed to the New Orps sector, which was classified as a war zone.

"I proposed to take the initiative. This is a dangerous act, but with just one confrontation I can profile the enemy commander at the military command level, and then speculate on what they will do next."

"As long as the supplies you have transported to the war zone in advance are in place and it is unfavorable to take the initiative, we can persist until all the follow-up troops arrive at the front line."
