Chapter 580 06.0579: 'Prototype Blueprint'

Horatio snapped his fingers, and the several-meter-long silver dinner cover was lifted up by two servants. The metal cover made a crisp sound when it hit the porcelain plate, and a rich sweet fragrance immediately filled the entire living room.

"Wow~" Even Inquisitor Thei, who was always calm and restrained, couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

The giant cake stacked in the center of the silver plate looks like a small fortress. The three-layer tower structure is covered with spiral cream patterns, and berries from different star regions shine in the galaxy constructed with frosting.

She closed her eyes and sniffed. The milky aroma of butter made the judge regain her girlish nature, which was rare. Sweet saliva flowed out of her mouth uncontrollably.

"This is a traditional multi-layered cream cake served on the tables of the human aristocracy. I think it is one of the more representative dishes in the empire." The heels of the young lieutenant colonel's military boots touched lightly together, and he introduced it with a polite wave of his arm, making room for the display.

"Its ingredients include fruits picked from several garden worlds, as well as the juice squeezed from these fruits; butter and flour are blended with fresh milk from two agricultural worlds, and these nuts, which come from..."

The young lieutenant colonel's smile was as sharp as a power collision, his tone was confident and proud, and his words revealed the true imperial grandeur, highlighting the characteristics of the human empire, which is vast, rich in resources, and has everything.

This is the grace and confidence that the huge size of the Human Empire brings him. It is obviously just an after-meal dessert, but behind this dessert lies the huge war potential of the Human Empire.

Finally, he changed the subject, "The supplies from countless worlds of the Human Empire feed countless officers and soldiers. As for the Second Damocles Expedition against the Tau Empire? That was just to stretch the fleets that were resting on the central and eastern defense lines. More of our fleets are in the far west, guarding a strategic location called the Eye of Terror.

That is the source of the disaster we are guarding so closely, and the site of the dramatic changes ten years later. The total tonnage of the fleet stationed there exceeds that of all the warships of the Tau Empire. ”

He shrugged and continued, "However, even this level of force cannot guarantee the complete containment of the Chaos threat, which is why Commander Farsight is so wary of the Chaos enemy.

The size of the Tyranid Swarm may be far greater than that of the Human Empire. The Gorgon Swarm that caused the warring Human Empire and the Tau Empire to temporarily cease fire and join forces to fight against each other was just one of its many tentacles. There are dozens or even hundreds of tentacles like this one. ”

The moment the cutting knife pierces the cake, amber syrup oozes out from the cut.

The cake is divided into several small pieces, plated by the chef, and then placed on a drone to be delivered to each diners.

The Titanium girl Torch Star, who was originally full of energy, became a little nervous after what Horatio said.

In order not to interfere with her practice, Yuanjian did not tell her in detail about the many dangers he had witnessed, but instead told her to "focus on your practice."

Until she met this human officer today, the threats he mentioned about a universe full of dangers had completely exceeded her worst imagination of this universe.

"Eat and don't think too much, little girl."

Horatio looked at Torch, who was somewhat depressed by the huge amount of information, and said in a joking and comforting tone: "When the disaster comes in ten years, we will be the first to block it. Its impact on you should be much smaller than that on the empire. Even if we have to die, we will die first."

Hearing his comfort, Ju Xing slowly raised her head, looked at his smiling face, and forced a smile.

“Whatever the threat, we will face it,” she said, cutting into the tender cake with a spoon.

Then he scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is..." She looked at the cake in front of her in shock, "What a sweet taste, even more shocking than pudding. It's very soft, and the middle is like a honeycomb, which makes it extra soft."

[The little girl is still a little girl after all, her mood always changes. ] Horatio thought, and then glanced at Inquisitor Thei, who was enjoying the cake with gusto, with a smile on her face as blooming as a peach blossom.

Farsightedness was obviously still thinking about the future crisis mentioned by the young lieutenant colonel in front of him.

The reason why he believed the words of this human was because the omen of the end had been shown before his eyes in his previous duel with the devil.

At first, he thought it was an illusion, but as time went by, he found more and more signs to support it, and now he is more convinced that it is really some kind of omen.

After a long time, he picked up the fork with three fingers, cut into the cake, scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

Suddenly, he paused.

"Not to your taste?" Horatio asked curiously, looking at his pause.

"No. It's delicious, and it has a texture we've never had before. I was just thinking, we also make pastries, we knead the dough, and let it rise, but the dough can't have such a soft texture.

May I ask you, sir, what is the secret here? "When Farsight's voice generator translated the Tau language into Gothic, it always had the texture of low-temperature metal.

"……Well."

Farsight's sudden question made Horatio freeze in his tracks.

"I'm a captain of the Imperial Navy, not a chef. So I may not be able to answer very professionally, but I think... this should be added... uh..."

Although the room temperature was a comfortable 25 degrees Celsius, beads of sweat still appeared on Horatio's forehead.

[You must not mention the use of stomach medicine as an additive in kneading dough. Otherwise, if they hear that you are adding medicine to the banquet, it may cause major diplomatic problems, although they seem to be fine after eating it.]

Horatio winked at the chef next to him.

"We used baking powder." The chef stepped forward and said, his tone very natural, as if it really was what he said.

"What is that?"

"A substance whose main ingredient is sodium bicarbonate, a common additive for fermented flour dough. Add it to the water used for kneading the dough, pour in the flour, then add water while kneading the dough, and finally add butter. Let the dough rest at 30-50 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes and it will ferment and expand..."

The Water Clan ambassador recorded the wonderful ideas of humans while smiling and saying to Farsight: "I have seen the Guvisas cook pasta using this method. I have also tasted it. It is indeed delicious. It can make the pasta soft and delicious. It is a good idea."

"In accordance with the terms of our agreement, and at the commander's direction, we will share the design blueprints of the XV86 'Cold Heart' prototype with your technicians as agreed." O'Visa said in his old, dry voice.

(XV86 'Cold Heart' battle suit mecha)

[XV86 prototype? This is the blueprint of a highly advanced Tau command mecha. How dare they give it to me so generously?]

Horatio frowned, somewhat unable to understand.

Not only did they obtain more than 600 Space Marine gene seeds, but they also obtained enough Space Marine equipment to arm an entire chapter.

And now, he got the design drawings of one of the most advanced combat suits of the Tau, so he made a lot of money on this emergency escape from the war? ? ?

He looked at Vision with a questioning look, hoping to get from him the purpose behind this gift.

"You have brought us very useful intelligence about the end, and from your description I can tell that you will definitely face this calamity threat in the future. Then, let us use our latest design blueprints for individual combat mechas to help you."

"Captain, the technical drawings have been received." Latti's breathing became excited. Every breath she took was accompanied by an uncontrollable heat. Her body trembled slightly, as if she had seen something extraordinary.

"God of All Things, what a wonderful design~" She swallowed the saliva that was about to flow out of the corner of her mouth, and put her hands together tremblingly, as if praying.

"Control yourself, Letty. Don't act like a nympho." Horatio glanced at her and muttered, "Even though you look like one, you'd better be decent in public."

"As you wish, Captain." Lati replied while panting. She turned on the emotion stabilizer and forced her facial expression back to a calm state.

"I heard that you humans don't use artificial intelligence, so there are many parts of this advanced design that you may not be able to reverse engineer," O'Visa said.

His meaning is very clear.

To put it simply, O'visa, under the instruction of Foresight, chose the command armor prototype with the highest technical route and delivered it to him.

Because this cutting-edge technology is too difficult to develop, there is no fear that humans can copy the exact same equipment.

And the ban on hateful intelligence will undoubtedly make it even more difficult to copy this technology.

This is also a thought of the Titanium people. If they were to give it, they would give it a technical drawing that humans would never be able to perfectly replicate no matter how hard they tried.

It is in line with human nature, and there is no need to worry that they will be able to mass-produce this technology and use it against the Tau people - as a commander's armor, XV86 is impossible to mass-produce, both in terms of technology and production difficulty.

It was already good enough that the young commander in front of him could make a set of inferior imitations for himself to wear.

"We will definitely make improvements designed for humans. Although the road may be long, I believe that the God of All Machines will bless us to achieve long-term breakthroughs." Latti replied with a smile.

"Well, our meeting ends here, Your Excellency. The supplies you requested have been delivered to your warship's inventory, and all items have been fulfilled. We are now cleared."

Yuanjian stood up first and saluted, saying, "I hope we won't meet on the battlefield next time we meet. If that is the fate, then I will never show any mercy or leniency.

I believe that with your ability, you don’t need to show mercy.”

His eyes turned to Horatio's iron hand, which was trembling slightly, just like his Dawn Blade.

"Of course, Commander. But I have a feeling that we will meet on the battlefield." Horatio kept smiling, "We will either be opponents or temporary allies like today. I think that day will not be too far away."

"I look forward to the day when I fight you, sir." Farsight, who had left the table, said with a sidelong glance, "Only if you live to see the day when I can shoot you down with my own hands."

Horatio's expression remained relaxed after hearing this, as if to ease the atmosphere and as if he was genuinely indifferent.

"Goodbye." He said with a smile.
