Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

the next day.

Horst and Vic flew over the Mandeville Point defense line in a transport plane and flew towards the main star hive world of the Tyrone system.

Since it was his first time to come to the Tyrone Galaxy, Horst looked out of the porthole into space with great curiosity, observing the fleet and fortress defense lines of the Tyrone Galaxy.

Horst noticed that Tyrone's fleet was completely different from the Imperial fleet, and the warships they used were different.

Inquisitor Horst, who was once active in the Gothic War, paid more attention to Tyrone's naval power than to those mysterious technologies such as witchcraft.

"Ten cruisers, five destroyers, twenty-seven frigates, and three battleships." Sensing Horst's curiosity, Vic took the initiative to explain the situation of the naval fleet in the Tyrone system, "Their battleships do not use void shields. I won’t take Geller’s position, and I won’t enter subspace…”

Horst was very familiar with fleet affairs. From Vic's explanation, he discovered that the number of these battleships was not right. They could not form a sector fleet, or be divided equally into several cruiser squadrons, frigate squadrons, and the use of destroyers was absolutely impossible. disregard.

This may be because the Tyrone Galaxy itself is not a star region and cannot produce so many battleships.

It may also be because their battleships are so different from those of the Imperial battleships that they adopt completely different formation methods.

However, the explanation Vic later gave was beyond Horst's expectation: "These are warships built in a year and a half. The orbital dock is at full capacity. We can build whatever we can, and we can build as many as we can." How many."

"A year and a half?" Horst was surprised. "How many slave labor did they use?"

"Even if they are fully transformed slaves or servitors, the production capacity of working day and night until death is not as good as the production technology they use. That technology is like witchcraft, materializing an item before your eyes." Vic replied.

Hearing this, Horst nodded silently and stared at the battleships.

The cruisers of the Tyrone system are about the same length as the destroyers, but the battleships are twice as big as the cruisers, and they carry some larger particle lances. Vic did not introduce the fleet of the Tyrone system in detail in the record, but he did It describes the battleship weapons commonly used by the fleet.

The battleship is equipped with various close-defense turrets almost all over the battleship, and there is even a large hangar next to the tail. Simply put, it is a larger cruiser with more firepower.

Horst had learned some things from the generals of the Imperial Navy during the Gothic War, such as quickly testing the size of battleships through simple means.

Horst raised his hand, closed one eye, and measured for a long time, and then came up with a rough figure: "The battleship should be twenty-five kilometers long, or twenty-seven kilometers, or twenty-two kilometers long." …”

"I haven't measured it, nor have I asked." Vic shook his head.

Horst didn't want to ask how long the battleship was, so he asked another question: "What are the names of their battleships? I mean... Moon class, Tempest class, do they have similar names?"

"No, their battleships are named later." Vic pointed to the first battleship on the leftmost side of the fleet.

The battleship's front features a man holding a chainsword pointing forward.

"The Lord of Tyrone battleship is the flagship of the fleet for the time being. This is an honorary title. This name is only given to the battleships of the fleet admirals or the largest battleships. I heard that there is a secret weapon on it."

"The other two battleships are the Unyielding Loyalty and the New Cato. The former commemorates the achievements of the loyalist resistance on Tyron II, and the latter is the name of the new city established by Lord Tyron in the Bottom Nest. The specific story I Not too sure.”

After listening to Vic's story, Horst was silent for a moment, and then turned his attention to Vic: "The Lord of Tyrone... a typical personality cult... They should feel lucky because it's me and not Karamazov."

Vic didn't know much about the people in the Tribunal, but when he heard the name Karamazov, he immediately remembered who it was and was a little scared.

Karamazov was one of the Inquisition's most stubborn and radical leaders. There was once a man who, like the Lord of Tyrone, led the loyalists to defeat the heretics. Then this man was captured by Karamazov, tortured and interrogated, and eventually turned into a skeleton.

Vic felt that Horst was right, but he immediately said from the bottom of his heart: "Karamazov will definitely be turned into scum by the particle spear when he comes."

"Indeed." Horst nodded and looked at the fortress outside the porthole. "Assuming that the man tortured by Karamazov had Tyrone's armed forces and a large number of unknown technologies, the Inquisition will definitely first investigate whether Karamazov is heresy."

Vic didn't answer and sat quietly.

Horst was still looking at everything outside the window curiously.

He saw two satellites rotating in space, and a large number of machinery was under construction between the two satellites, which seemed to be building a larger creation.

Horst didn't know much about engineering, but he had a hunch that if the two satellite-like fortresses in the middle were built, the entire Tyrone would be impregnable, and Tyrone would continue to develop.

But compared to the disaster that the entire race will face next, this matter in the Tyrone Galaxy is nothing.

…

While Horst was slowly flying to the hive world in a transport plane, Belisarius Caul had already arrived at the hive world first.

After discovering that Qin Mo was not surprised at all by his arrival, Kaul followed Qin Mo around the hive world without explaining anything.

Those logistics machines and drones may be able to fool Vic and the inquisitors through some "deception", but they will never be able to fool Caul, the great sage who has devoted himself to researching technology for many years.

After arriving at the fortress of the bottom nest, Kaul asked Qin Mo without hesitation: "You are using hate intelligence, right?"

"Yes." Qin Mo nodded and admitted very frankly and without hesitation, "It is safer and bolder than the abhorrent intelligence you have created or are currently researching."

Kaul looked down at Qin Mo for a few seconds, and then laughed: "Haha... I have never studied those taboo things, but you. If your use of hateful intelligence is exposed, the entire empire will destroy you at all costs."

Qin Mo shook his head indifferently: "Your true body is definitely not here. Let me guess, what is in front of me is a copy of a great sage with the personality of an innocent girl. Otherwise, how can you pretend to be innocent so much."

At this time, another sage would definitely give Qin Molai a shot, but Kaul was different. He belonged to a radical faction, and he had a large number of technologies in his hands that could be convicted by the Inquisition.

Caul's reputation within the Mechanicus is not very good, and those who want to kill him can be lined up from Terra to Mars, but he firmly believes that he is doing a great cause, and in fact he is.

An enhanced version of the Astartes - the Primaris Astartes.

Armor of Destiny that can resurrect a Primarch sleeping in a stasis field.

There are a lot of other things that Kaul researched.

These things have not been revealed yet, but in the future Kaul will use these achievements over the years to leave a strong mark in the history of the human race.

Qin Mo knew that he didn't have to hold back when facing Kaul. If he also had the scientific research ability of the Star God, he would definitely be more aggressive.

"You know me well?" Call asked. He found that Qin Mo and himself were like old acquaintances from the beginning.

"I have a little understanding." Qin Mo replied calmly.

Kaoer knew that Qin Mo had too many secrets, so he didn't worry about why this guy was so familiar with him. He just came here to get technology, and any technology would do, as long as it was useful.

Considering that the Tyrone Galaxy is not yet a deserted land, there is obviously a price to pay to obtain technology.

"I have made a powerful cooling technology. If you are interested, I can give it to you, but you have to do one thing." Qin Mo said.

Kaur nodded without hesitation and waited quietly for Qin Mo to speak out his request.

"Don't let Vic run errands for you, let him do some serious work in your monastery." Qin Mo said with a smile.

Kaul didn't understand the relationship between Vic and Qin Mo, and why he wanted to give Vic a good future, but he felt that this was not a problem. Just let Vic distance himself from himself, then introduce him to a great sage, and give him some suitable non-heretical techniques.

After that, it all depends on Vic's fortune. If he can be more diligent and have better luck, he may be able to get an important STC template, and then it is possible to reach the sky in one step and become the ruling sage of the forging world.

After thinking about this, Kaul nodded: "Take me to see the cooling technology."
