Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 121 Tiangong Reconstructed Body

The Far Eastern Frontier generally refers to a narrow north-south star belt located in the eastern part of the Extreme Star Territory. Beyond the star belt is a dark extragalactic abyss.

The main direction of the Great Crusade launched by the Emperor of Mankind ten thousand years ago was to start from Holy Terra in the west of the galaxy and rush eastward to open up the extreme star field.

The front of the human army's eastern march runs through the Milky Way, and the end of its front is the Far Eastern Frontier.

Alexey was very surprised that the star bomber would actually ask for such a borderland. There are three reasons for this:

First, although the volume of space in the Far Eastern Frontier is large, because it is located at the edge of the Milky Way star disk, the density of star clusters here is very thin, far less dense than the dense starlight in the hinterland of the Milky Way.

It is also a standard star area with a side length of 100 light years. There may be thousands of habitable galaxies within the five hundred worlds of Ultramar. In the far eastern frontier where galaxies are sparse, only a few dozen can be found. Can it be Hundreds are a problem.

Secondly, even in the Great Crusade era when the Emperor was still on earth and the Empire's national power was at its peak, it was very difficult for the Throne World to manage the border areas and it was difficult to directly impose rule. It is harvested once in a thousand years.

It can be said that even if the several star regions in the Far Eastern Frontier were to fight a civil war among themselves, the Terran government would not be able to control them. They were basically equal to independent kingdoms.

Third, Alexei is now preparing for an expedition to Terra.

She had almost completely drained the military power of the Far Eastern frontier. Most of the nobles on the planet had promised their entire clan to invest because of different interests. The die-hard forces that could not be moved by talk were also dealt with by the prophetess using some secret means. The empire was very interested in this place. The already loose governance fell into complete paralysis.

They did not look back and allowed planets one after another to be swallowed up by the green tide. It can be said that this thin and barren frontier land has been abandoned by default. In order to pass on the fire of hope for human civilization, they abandoned it. All sectors within the Far Eastern Frontier.

It is such a strategic victim that is about to be abandoned. The Star Destroyer can wait until the expedition fleet sets off and directly use his military strength to seize it without any problem. Only the most extreme fanatics will be dissatisfied with him. .

After all, this area was originally going to be occupied by the Orc Empire and fell into the hands of the Star Bombers. At least it was still under human control.

What's more, the star bomber is willing to pay a lot of money to buy it.

The mechanical prosthesis on the technical sage Spangler trembled slightly due to the overload of electric current. Although he did not express any opinions due to his identity, his body reaction already showed the technical sage's attitude towards this transaction.

Alexey looked a little embarrassed, her dull eyes were erratic, and she seemed undecided.

It’s not that she didn’t know how generous Russell’s conditions were. She could use a star field that she had planned to give up in exchange for the support of warp engines and multiple Glory Queen-class battleships. It was undoubtedly a sum of money that was almost equivalent to free money. Outrageous deal.

This is what makes Alexei hesitate and even fear.

She was forced to give up the defense of a large area of ​​the star field in order to safely deliver the stargate template to Terra. This was a great sacrifice and a forced choice. As long as the expedition achieved final victory, no one would condemn her decision for this.

But for some arms support, ceding territory belonging to the empire to a suspected immortal who does not know the details is completely different.

The technical sage was not qualified to make this decision, and neither was Alexei, the emperor's living saint. She could not afford the profound political significance of this transaction.

This is shaking the authority of the Golden Throne. Except for the Emperor, no living human is qualified to make this decision.

Then the Emperor came.

Fierce light surged from the depths of the prophetess's soul, dyeing her violet eyes with a faint golden color.

The sunlight that shines through the glass dome into the cloud-top lobby has an indescribable sense of eternity, as if it is not scattered by the star of Falla, but comes from the other end of the distant galaxy and is bathed by Terra, the ancient home planet of mankind. The rays of the sun shone brightly over the entire urban planet.

Alexey stared silently at the psychic mist flowing under the hood of the star bomber. The feminine facial features abnormally showed a kind of strength and perseverance that only appeared in men.

"Star flicker," Alexei said.

Her voice changed from its original gentleness and softness, and became unpredictable, as if tens of millions of people were speaking at the same time, overlapping countless voices into a simple language without any emotion.

He said: "What I pursue is the liberation of all mankind, not the prosperity of the empire."

Russell smiled: "I understand."

Alexey nodded: "——Let's do it."

He didn't say anything more. Even for the lord of mankind, the conversation with the star bomber was very difficult.

Russell didn't reply, just watched, watching as the golden light on Alexei's body dissipated, leaving only a small, golden sword-shaped mark between her eyebrows.

After a brief exchange, Spangler next to him woke up as if from a dream. Only now did he realize what had just happened. At the entrance of the Genting Lobby, the originally closed door had opened at some point.

Four Astartes wearing finely crafted power armor knelt down in front of the door with shock and admiration, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor..."

Gray Feng tilted his head and silently hugged Russell's arm.

After the deal with the Emperor was concluded, Russell took Gray Wind with him and left Embra.

News of the miracles performed by the Emperor of Mankind spread quickly through the mouths of the Crimson Nobles Chapter and the Embra Mechanicus. After seeing the sacred mark between the prophetess's brows, the Ecclesiarchs immediately regarded her as the Lord of Humanity. A true spokesperson.

The assembly efficiency of the expedition fleet reached an unprecedented level, which also put some pressure on Russell.

The casual promise of 13 Glory Queen-class battleships is indeed grand, but he even needs to build the docks to assemble the Titan ships.

Inexplicably, I feel like Superman, who is going to fight monsters tomorrow, is sewing red underwear tonight.

Fortunately, the Earth Explosion Star is already in place, and with sufficient resource supply, Russell is confident that the promised ships will be delivered on time before the expedition fleet sets off.

In the miniature galaxy, anti-entropy has selected the target for explosion; in the inner ring of the critical base galaxy, the nano-planet has completely disintegrated into a mechanical nano-cloud with infinite possibilities; all the conventional industrial production capacity held by Russell has been completely awakened, and star gates, matter The construction of decompressors has been put on the agenda.

"Not enough, this is not enough..."

Faced with this situation, Russell still felt that it was not enough. In addition to asking Hui Feng to join in the next construction work, he also woke up the sleeping Suzheng host and connected it to the LAN to further increase production capacity.

Just when the industrial machines belonging to the Star Bombers were operating at full speed, the Order of Truth's scientific research fleet also achieved some results in its armed scientific research on the pyramid group.

In the Flare Galaxy, the radiation dust and harmful rays floating in the galaxy have faded a lot over time. Two fleets with different styles are parked in the orbit of the carbonized crystalline planet in the outermost ring of the galaxy, each occupying a pyramid group. side.

One is the scientific research fleet sent by the Order of Truth.

One is an archaeological team organized by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

The investigation of the pyramid complex, or violent demolition, was also divided into two parts, carried out by technical priests and preachers respectively.

The architectural structure of the area under the responsibility of the Order of Truth is relatively intact. Metal debris of various shapes are floating in the void between the breached pyramids: underworld beetles, tomb spiders, tomb stalkers, tomb sentinels... part of The missionary is dismantling it, recycling it, and bringing it back to Falla for further study.

These automatic bionic machines are extremely aggressive against intruders, and they also have good combat capabilities. Fortunately, the Order of Truth has abundant martial virtues. The first reaction when encountering an attack by a mechanical structure is to dismantle it alive. .

The other half of the area that the Adeptus Mechanicus was responsible for was in a mess. The small pyramids outside the building complex were dismantled one by one in three years. The various alien facilities inside were either moved away or dissected on the spot, and even pieces of metal were removed. No boards were left. Those who didn’t know better thought they were here for demolition.

In the center of the building complex, the tower of the largest super-large pyramid had hideous wounds opened by heavy firepower.

Several pilots drove large construction machinery and dragged two huge, paralyzed, copper-colored mechanical structures that resembled large spiders from the rubble and transported them to the Sailfish research ship in orbit.

This is a heavy structure called the "Tiangong Reconstructed Body". Its indestructible body is as solid as adamantine, but it has an action speed comparable to the Eldar Titan. It can be called a monster.

On both sides of the cleared road, large humanoid mechas with their chests torn open and arms and legs cut off lay scattered. They were Cyberlux combat bodies that had been destroyed by the Tiangong reconstruction body. Cyberlux combat bodies focused on heavy firepower. It is still too strenuous for the body to fight this kind of monster at such a distance.

More than half of the dozens of combat vehicles brought by the scientific expedition fleet were damaged in this conflict, which was enough to successfully paralyze these two steel monsters.

The technology of the Necrons is truly shocking.

"If there are a few more of these big guys in the central pyramid, we will have to go home..." Alphonse stood next to the remains of the Cyberlux battle body and looked at the huge wounds on the pyramid, muttering to himself. .

This scientific expedition mission was much more difficult than he imagined.

"Don't worry, this kind of scary thing should be considered precious even to the Necrons. At most, two of them should be placed in the core area." Listia stood on tiptoes and patted his shoulder generously and comforted him. .

Alphonse sighed: "I hope so."

It would be fun if the Celestial Reconstructs were just cheap mass-produced units for the Necrons. The group of people who were preparing to explore the interior of the central pyramid were afraid that none of them would be able to come out alive.

After cleaning up the wreckage of the Tiangong reconstructed body, the scientific research director returned to the ship with the engineering machinery. It would be more dangerous to go deep into the dangerous area. It would be better for mortals who have not been transformed by the prosthetic body not to participate.

Alphonse led a joint expedition team consisting of 17 preachers and 9 technical priests, protected by Eldar banshees armed with high-pressure melt and argument spears, and intelligent servitors equipped with gravity weapons. , entering the interior of this super large pyramid through the wound in the building.

The long-term experience of encountering many sudden attacks by skinners and tomb spiders on the outside of the building complex made the preachers extremely nervous, but unexpectedly, the interior of this large pyramid in the center was... quiet.

Even with the keen hearing of the Eldar Banshee, she could not hear the sound of the underworld beetles that maintained the tomb. It was completely empty.

"Strange..." Alphonse frowned. His prosthetic-modified eye lens still had multiple visions such as infrared scanning and thermal imaging in the dark, but no matter which vision he used, he couldn't see anything.

There are still some unopened arms and facilities of unknown purpose remaining in the surrounding small pyramids, but the cavity in the largest central pyramid is a literal cavity.

Except for the transmission pipelines with no energy flow and the traces left by the crawling of the Tiangong reconstruction body, nothing can be seen anymore, not even a single underworld beetle as the self-maintenance system of the tomb. It is surprisingly quiet.

"Be vigilant and be careful of ambush."

Alphonse said, blue-purple spiritual light escaped from his eyes, and through the amplification of the auxiliary equipment carried by the banshee beside him, it radiated to everywhere around him, feeling every particle in the cavity. The flow of dust.

The psyker's special premonition told him that conventional equipment may not be able to warn them of the danger they are about to encounter.

It was just that Alphonse, who was engrossed in the exploration, failed to notice that several technical priests beside him were quietly staring at the psychic amplification device in the Banshee's hand.

It is not that the Adeptus Mechanicus does not have devices with similar functions, but this model is something we have never seen before...

With three sarcastic banshees driving hoverbikes as forward scouts, the exploration team methodically followed the energy transmission pipeline deep into the interior of the pyramid.

The high-pressure melt in the hands of the furious team responsible for the escort remained in a state of heat that could be fired at any time. Alphonse's psychic energy followed the suspended motorcycle like tentacles and extended forward. Everyone's quantum nerves were tense to the extreme, and they were vigilant. with possible dangers.

Until they followed the pipeline all the way to the end, they did not encounter any danger. To be precise, they encountered nothing. This was really an empty tower.

A large dark door appeared in front of them, stopping the team of sarcastic banshees on motorcycles from moving forward.

Alphonse stopped, and everyone's eyes stayed on the door in front of them.

This door is made of a dark material between metal and stone. It looks heavy and gloomy. The door is flashing with branch-like fluorescent green light. There is a certain pattern between light and darkness. Hard to understand.

"This is... I have glimpsed a similar record in an ancient document in Musbel." A technical priest stretched out his mechanical tentacles and used the sensor at the end to squirm and observe the flickering green on the door in front of him. Fluorescence:

"If the record is correct, this should be a space sealing method that has been encrypted with a special code. If we do not follow the process to crack the code to release the seal, but directly carry out violent demolition, we will not be able to enter the real internal space."
