Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 7 Microscopic or Macroscopic

Eight days later, the long subspace journey was coming to an end. Under the correct guidance of the navigator, the wandering band successfully jumped out of the Manzeville point in the solar system and returned to the real universe.

The astropaths obtained the correct identification information after communicating with the astronomical torch in advance in the subspace, and this information was also transferred to the galaxy defense fortress in the orbit of Mars as soon as the spacecraft returned to the real universe.

The activated defense mechanism was canceled by the signal from Mars, the weapon arrays on the outer orbits of the surrounding planets were successively shut down, and the cruise fleet that surrounded the spacecraft three astronomical units far away also put away the fully charged light spears.Another day of peace...

Almost at the same time, in the confidential communication room of the Vagabond, a letter carrying Calvin's basic information and the latest information updated after the second development was also immediately encrypted and secretly sent to Saturn. number five.I only hope that the big shots there can notice this news in time, so that the hard work of the lady will not be wasted.

After a short two-day voyage, the Wanderlust finally arrived at the final destination of the trip - the moon. On the most prosperous space port in the center of the empire and with the largest material throughput, the black ship will take the "cargo" collected along the way remove.Hand it over to the staff of the empire stationed on the moon by the Star Language Court.

Here, low-level psykers who have been preliminarily judged to have no training value and illegal psykers who have not registered with the empire will be sent directly to the Astral Torch Court.Drained of all psychic power, it will be their final glory to be a ray of light among the thousands of lights of the Emperor and the Warp.

The rest of the people will be taken to the City of Vision in the majestic palace complex located in the Himalayas.

There, the Psychic Academy will train them for up to five years according to their specialties.

Then, after the rating is successful, they will be assigned to relevant psychic positions in various administrative, combat, and production departments of the empire.

On the contrary, those who fail or prove to be unable to withstand the training will "go to the same destination" as their counterparts five years ago-burning themselves in the Torch Court is their final fate.

Calvin had basically recovered his mobility on the 22nd day of his subspace travel.This successful decision has once again consolidated the lady's authority on the black ship.

The lady who was in a good mood because of the successful investment even allowed him and the crew to have the same opportunity to enjoy the service of the black ship's public restaurant.This kind of preferential treatment cannot be said to be unique on the mariachi, it can only be said to be unprecedented. (Salute to the great Tongliao Khan!)
But what's worse, the soaring size and the same soaring strength caused him to completely lose his previous precise control over his body: his strength has almost doubled, while his muscles have increased in thickness in three full dimensions, but only one of the reasons.

According to the staff in the medical room, because his bones increased by nearly 10% of the metal composition: mainly iron, the yellowish color brought by the iron oxide in the bones can be clearly found in the resonance fluoroscopy.

This caused Calvin's bone density to increase five times compared to before.It is already close to the limit record of the natural growth of mammals - a certain creature called "saber-toothed tiger" on the land of ancient Terra.

To sum up, obtaining sufficient supporting strength of bones may be the real reason for Calvin's unprecedented release of muscular potential.

And the power of the skyrocketing out of control also made Calvin in the last two weeks of the voyage a veritable "destroyer of tableware" on the black ship.Whether it is iron, steel, alloy, or even the pottery steel tableware brought out by the angry chef, they were all ravaged by Calvin's inhuman force...

Facing the enraged chef, Calvin also awkwardly defended himself after getting into trouble: "In the eyes of a soldier, such a thing as too much strength...could it be called out of control?"

So the whole restaurant was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The lady is optimistic about this little matter.After receiving the related loss list from the service staff, she once smiled and said to Sister Cassin who was watching the fun:
"There will always be someone willing to pay for him, all we have to do is wait quietly."

Two days before the black ship reached the moon.After completing the recovery training in the training area, Calvin met Ka Xin who was leading a routine patrol on the way back to the living cabin.

After a brief silence for a few seconds, Calvin still couldn't hold back, and asked the nun who was supposed to pass by:
"Finally... I mean, if it's possible, I want to know how the people in that village are doing. Uncle Andre and the others, are they okay?"

Ka Xin turned around and quietly looked up at the slightly nervous young man in front of him for a few seconds.Then she made a series of sign language, and the recruit nuns accompanying her interpreted for her:
"Relevant documents have been sent to Terra, and they will be handed over to you after you disembark and arrive at the academy."

Afterwards, Cassin led the team away without looking back, leaving only Calvin with a questioning face in place.

After returning to the cabin where he lived and washing up briefly, Calvin lay quietly on the bed, raised his 10 cm extra feet that had no place to rest due to his height, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes and sank into the void.Began to observe the originator of this ordeal—the black gem.It also responded to his call, slowly turning and rising from the deep sea of ​​consciousness.

"Why do I see a sphere composed of countless facets, and they can only see the wall?"

Calvin had no chance to consider this strange cognitive gap before, so he could only keep it as his own secret.

Now that all was settled, at least until he reached the moon, he did have a chance to think about it quietly without being disturbed.

"Wall, ball..."

"Crystal wall, faceted ball..."

"Yes!"

Calvin sat up suddenly, his eyes closed.In the spiritual space, he tried to shorten the distance for the first time, looking up at this originally tiny sphere from a microscopic perspective.

"Bigger, bigger..."

When he zoomed in on the sphere in his field of view, zoomed in again.When the viewing angle is enlarged hundreds or thousands of times.In Calvin's eyes, the subtle facets of the sphere finally began to become clear.

"Not enough! Come again!"

When it was magnified again 1000 times, so that the entire sphere became as huge as a star and filled his entire field of vision.In Calvin's eyes, he finally got what the psyker called the "black crystal wall"...

"This is too outrageous..."

In such a microscopic perspective, countless huge black crystal facets soaring into the sky, composed of star-like magnificent spheres, are slowly rotating.And every facet of its crystal is engraved with mysterious characters.

This "star" seems to have its own life, accompanied by the rhythm of breathing, every moment there are lightning and thunder as thick as a giant tree jumping on those adult-sized characters.Jumping up and down like prominences on the face of the sun.It's trying to light up that "wall" by activating those dim characters.Calvin saw it instinctively.

But here is only a small part that can be lit up, maybe less than 10%.Most of the walls are as dull and broken as the runes inscribed on them.Huge cracks filled the walls.And every time lightning passed through these dim, broken walls, the huge cracks in those walls shrunk imperceptibly.

"What the hell have I been through?"

Dust stood far away from the "black star", looking at Calvin, who was in front of him with a majestic and mythical scene, and said these words as if moaning.

　After the first launch, the hand is disabled. . . .It's really funny.Love you, every soul who is willing to read my words.
