Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Shortly after Russell left with Koroniai, the scientific research ship and frigate assembled by Gray Wind completed the first round of system self-checks, swam out of Embra's orbital dock, and docked at the star above Falla. In the harbor.

As a theoretical monk who stays at home all day long to do research, the scientific research director felt that it would take him a lot of time to become familiar with the operating systems of these ships, and it was not easy to adapt to getting along with the insect hive biological engine.

Although the Order of Truth is open to the use and absorption of alien technology, and has no objection to using brainwashing methods and biomodification surgeries to enslave the Eldar, putting a living alien insect on a battleship to make a wetware engine is still somewhat problematic. There will be some psychological barriers.

After all, after the years of strife and the catastrophe of the Long Night, the hatred of aliens has been engraved into the collective subconscious of all humans in this universe.

Even for the truth monks who advocate pragmatism, it will take a long time to get rid of such thinking inertia.

But how long is that time? Half a year? One year? Or more than ten years?

…The answer is not even an hour.

When all the preachers and accompanying combat and logistics personnel were all boarded and refitted, the expedition fleet quickly left Falla in a neat formation, passed through the gravel belt, passed through the outermost ring of the galaxy, and finally left the star Falla. Within the influence range of the gravity well.

——The warp drive is not only activated outside the galaxy, but Falla is too prosperous today. The galaxy is full of merchant ships and Adeptus Mechanicus ships coming and going, and the routes of various spacecraft are very dense. In order not to cause traffic safety hazards, the expedition fleet needs to start warp sailing outside the Falla galaxy.

In the core cabin of the ship, under the nervous gaze of the preachers, a powerful current was pumped out of the central nervous system of the brainworm and released to the cerebral cortex. Countless neurons entered an overclocked state under the stimulation of powerful bioelectricity.

Biological engine starts,

In an instant, the starlight around the hull was quickly crushed and distorted, like a ball of alkaline noodles being stretched and flattened by a chef's strong palms, and manipulated arbitrarily.

In the end, the bent space curvature surrounded the silver-white hull, forming a thin film flowing with colorful starlight, enclosing the entire ship in a "cavitation bubble".

At this time, there is no need to start any thrusters or maintain the power of the reactor; just like a sailboat riding the wind no longer needs to paddle, the sailfish research ship entering the curvature bubble does not need to do any extra things and only needs to ride By sliding forward according to the curvature, you can naturally exceed the speed of light.

Then the preachers looked at the hideous and terrifying grotesque brainworm in front of them, and their eyes were filled with kindness.

The same attitude change occurred in every scientific research ship. Endless starlight passed rapidly through the windows, and the previous rejection and disgust all faded away with the astronomical distance.

A young preacher looked at the brain worm whose head was flashing with electric currents, and couldn't help but ask: "Such a violent brain activity requires a lot of energy. Do you want to eat something?"

The brainworm blinked its six symmetrically arranged eyes, and it took him a while to understand what the other party meant.

"If you can, give it some high-purity glucose solution."

A calm voice suddenly came from behind. The young preacher turned around and saw that the speaker was an old man wearing a pure white research uniform with gray hair on his temples.

The scientific research director of the Falla Research Base.

He was followed by two "sarcastic banshees" wearing full lobbyist mechas and holding argument spears. Important figures like the director of scientific research would always be equipped with sufficient escorts even on the Order's own battleships.

"If my memory is correct, you should be called 'Alphonse'?" the scientific research director said with a smile.

The young preacher whom he called Alphonse quickly bowed slightly in greeting, nodded and said: "That's right, the supervisor is me."

"It seems that my neurological aging is not too serious..." The scientific research director was quite happy. Then he turned around and took a sealed bottle containing a transparent solution from the hands of a sarcastic banshee following him. glass tube.

Using the spirit bone sharp blade in the hands of the sarcastic banshee to cut open the glass tube, the scientific research director stretched the glass tube forward and poured the transparent solution inside into the mouthparts of the brain worm that could not wait to open.

"Although the energy provided by a tube of solution is very insignificant compared to the huge consumption of warp speed, the brainworm likes to ingest glucose solution. Just feed it some from time to time and it will be very happy." said the scientific research director. , put the empty glass tube back into the box.

"I see." Alphonse nodded in agreement, but he was still a little curious. This was the first time he came into contact with biological engines. Why did the scientific research director know the preferences of the brain worms so accurately? Didn’t he always stay at the base and concentrate on academics...

Alphonse was as energetic as a young man should be. He didn't keep his doubts in his heart and asked directly.

In response, the scientific research director asked the sarcastic banshee behind him to take off the mask engraved with spread wings on his face, revealing a beautiful female face and a pair of eyes that glowed with light purple light.

It is exactly the same as the spiritual light in the eyes of the brainworm.

"The Ada Eldar once had a unified spiritual field that linked all individuals of the clan, but due to the collapse of the Ancient Eldar Empire, they once lost this link - until now."

The scientific research director patiently explained to him:

"After mental training and body modification surgery, using the Gestalt will of the life-shaping insect queen controlled by our leader's powerful psychic energy as the node, the banshees rebuilt the spiritual links between each other. With the help of the hive mental network, they resisted the sub-human While being influenced by space, they can also directly know the thoughts of other banshees and insect swarms, including the dietary preferences of brain worms.”

"I see..." Alphonse looked at the tall, graceful Eldar Banshee, and then at the terrifying and grotesque, ugly brainworm, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

These two completely different species actually had a close connection at the soul level, which gave him a lingering weird feeling in his heart.

Seeing Alphonse's solemn expression as he thought seriously, the scientific research director smiled unconsciously. He has always admired young people who dared to seek knowledge.

This young preacher named Alphonse is not a native of Falla, and he does not even have a home planet. He is a "son of the void."

Children of the Void refer to children born on space battleships.

Alphonse's family has lived and multiplied on the battleship Fire of Repentance for generations. The long time of thousands of years and frequent interbreeding have long made them forget their home planet. For the children of the Void, what they live in is The ship is your home planet.

Even among the Void Children, Alphonse is a very different being - he is a natural psyker, and a very powerful and uncontrollable psyker.

When Alphonse was sent to the Order of Truth as a consumable for the study of psionic theory, he was just born and not yet full moon, but his powerful psionic power has already made it almost impossible for the veteran think tank of the Penitent Fire Chapter to suppress it.

If it were not for the fact that the Order of Truth was conducting research on extracting and storing spiritual energy at that time, and would continue to drain away the powerful spiritual energy emitted unconsciously in many experiments, the baby who had just turned one month old would probably have had his brain burned out. Overly powerful psychic powers had troubled Alphonse when he was growing up, until a few years ago.

After undergoing the transformation of the integrated prosthetic body, the huge computing power and strong subspace resistance endowed by the quantum neural connection allowed him to truly master his psychic talents.

However, like Russell, he has powerful psychic powers, but he has not learned a few spells and does not know how to use his power to the fullest extent.

"Starbuster is the most powerful psyker I have ever seen, and possesses unfathomable insight and profound knowledge. If the leader can be entrusted to teach Alphonse how to practice psychic power... then... It couldn't be better."

The director of scientific research thought to himself, secretly thinking about how to convince the star bomber to let Russell, who did not understand advanced psychic spells at all, teach Alphonse, the psyker who was created by himself and could be called the chosen one.

——Driven by the warp engine, it took 12 Terra days for the expedition fleet to arrive at the Flare Galaxy where the black pyramid group is located.

The radiation dust in space has not yet dispersed, and the ship's energy shield still needs to be kept on.

During the time they arrived, Listia negotiated with the Inquisition many times, and even used Alexei's authority to temporarily suppress the Inquisitors' eagerness to break into the pyramid to find the missing Flame of Repentance. And the desire for action of the monopoly judge Blood Lion has allowed the buildings here to be preserved.

According to the style of the Human Empire, the Inquisitor will probably blow up these pyramids after entering.

After entering the Flare Galaxy, the armed scientific research team consisting of 21 Swordfish research ships, 63 Swordfish frigates, and some logistics transport ships immediately merged with the Ark of Elysium and the Oracle of Truth, which had completed self-repair, and exchanged Information obtained during this time:

"Before you arrived, I organized a few teams to conduct some careful preliminary exploration of the outer parts of the pyramid complex. By the way, I also recovered the bodies of several Space Marines - warriors with the Fire of Penance, and some genetic codes. The information is so old that even the data records are obscured by the unknown Astartes.”

Listia said, and sent a brief investigation report to all 21 scientific research ships:

"As you can see, most of the various infrastructures inside the pyramid are intact. A few damaged equipment were also caused by the battle that took place here not long ago. The warriors of the Fire of Repentance are fighting some enemies. I boldly speculate , the objects of their crossfire may be those mysterious Astartes who possess ancient genetic codes."

"Also, among the several small peripheral buildings we explored, some were suspected to be arsenals, and some were hangars for parking ships. During the exploration process, the team encountered some bionic automatic machines that resembled snakes and spiders. They should be These buildings are part of the automatic maintenance and defense system. In order not to cause a larger chain reaction, we did not explore further inside."

"But it is worth mentioning that although the automatic maintenance machinery is still there, whether it is the arsenal, shipyard, or hangar, they are all empty. There are no weapons, equipment or spacecraft left. Based on the recent operation traces of the infrastructure, we infer …”

"This building complex is not a relic. Their owners are still alive and left just a few years ago. They took away all the weapons and spacecraft, leaving only a handful of ships to guard the base camp - the ones that attacked us before. Those two sickle-shaped battleships."

Although after destroying the Death Scythe battleship, she did not find any traces of living intelligent creatures in the wreckage, but there were a considerable number of mechanical skeleton remains.

"Those mechanical skeletons are the masters of this pyramid group." At the instruction of the scientific research director, Alphonse sent this message to the Ark of Paradise and the Oracle of Truth.

"Ah? Those bloodthirsty sick robots? Aren't they war machines made by the master of the pyramid?" Listia's voice sounded very surprised.

Because he was in a hurry to do other things, Russell only briefly introduced some basic information about the Necron to the truth monks on Falla, and had no communication with the Ark of Paradise.

The monks on Falla were busy preparing to gather people to inventory materials and equipment for the warp voyage, and did not contact the Ark of Paradise to exchange information. They thought that the far-sighted leader had already told Listia and the others.

Only now did Listia truly know whose grave she was digging.

While the scientific research fleet was exchanging information internally, it quickly headed to the carbonized crystal planet that was closely monitored by the Inquisition.

While the fleet of the Adeptus Mechanicus was still soaking in the subspace and had not arrived, they prepared to launch a comprehensive investigation as soon as possible.

Not long after, after passing the identity verification and showing the inquisitors the authorization document signed by the Falla Senate, the mighty scientific expedition fleet hovered over the pyramids.

The weapon system of the Swordfish frigate is always ready for war, and the Swordfish research ship also maintains the full power of its tachyon and psionic sensors. The hatches of the ships are opened one after another, and the first wave of landing troops are airdropped. to the surface of the ruins.

This group of scouts who risked their lives are all fully armed Eldar banshees. They need to complete basic surveys on the ground and place teleportation beacons at appropriate locations so that follow-up personnel can quickly teleport between the warship and the ground. .

This is what the missionaries brought them here for.

These female Eldar who had their ovaries and uteruses removed by Coroniai, and who had been brainwashed and trained, were classified and planned into multiple arms by the Order of Truth, such as:

The "greed" of assembling weapons of mass destruction and responsible for fire suppression;

Equipped with extreme power melt weapons and armor-piercing weapons, the "Rage" can carry out meltdown operations against high-defense targets;

In addition, he is equipped with a variety of cold weapons such as argument spears and specializes in melee combat and stealth assassination.

The perfect physical fitness and excellent psychic potential of the Eldar have been exploited to the extreme to support themselves in carrying out this fatal inspection mission.

The Necron main fleet, which left here not long ago, will come back who knows when, and then the banshees will have to join the living metal battleships.

For humans, the lives of the Eldar have never been lives, and they can be used as consumables.
