Chapter 878 Tyran's Counterattack against the Undead

"So, this is your plan to enhance the defense of the solar system?"

Above Holy Terra, Guilliman was looking at the holographic projection screen in front of him. He looked at the holographic projection of the solar system on the screen, staring at the defense platforms densely packed throughout the solar system, and the huge fleet that was anchored in the orbit of Jupiter. Guilliman actually had no opinion on Wang Ming's defense deployment for the solar system, but those defense deployments were too complicated. There were countless defense systems in various locations in the solar system. Today, these defense systems were everywhere in the void of the solar system, and some areas of the sky had even been covered by these defense systems.

The maintenance and operation of these defense systems requires a lot of resources, as well as a lot of manpower and material resources. Guilliman has no objection to strengthening the defense of the solar system, but these defenses still require him to coordinate and plan, which undoubtedly increases his workload. However, he is also very happy about all this. After all, the safety of Holy Terra is the top priority of the entire human empire. Now, although there is the Webway, some areas still need to carry out some small-scale warp navigation, and no one can guarantee that the Webway can continue to operate, especially in the warp, with the existence of those four things. Holy Terra and the Emperor are the embodiment of the cohesion of the human empire. The importance of Holy Terra and the Emperor cannot be wrong at all.

"If you are worried about the operation of those devices, then don't worry. There are no problems with the operation of those devices, and they don't require too much manpower and material resources. Only ten people are needed to operate each device. They don't require too much professional knowledge. They just need to know some basic operations and maintenance. The maintenance of all these defense equipment is done by a formation of thinkers."

Wang Ming looked at Guilliman beside him. He pointed to the light spots on the holographic projection that represented various devices, and then explained to Guilliman how those devices worked and how those devices did not actually require too much manpower and material resources. In terms of manpower consumption, one device only required ten people at most to maintain it. This was a very easy thing for the empire, as the empire would never lack population. As for the resource consumption of those devices, there was no need to worry about it. As early as when those devices were being arranged, Wang Ming had already asked the time travelers to place them in those devices, which could consume energy, ammunition, and various maintenance equipment for nearly a thousand years. All things that could become a problem were considered by Wang Ming in advance.

The defense system of the entire solar system is almost watertight, from the defense array in the void outside the solar system, to the star-like defense platforms in the Oort Cloud, to the defense systems standing in the void inside the solar system and orbiting the major planets, to the final defense deployment outside Holy Terra and on the earth, as well as the huge fleet in the solar system. These are all part of the defense system, layer upon layer. If any layer collapses, another layer can continue to complete the task. The solar system has been turned into an indestructible fortress by these enhanced defense systems.

This terrifying defense system can be said to be extremely powerful even in the era of the Great Rebellion, or even in the Iron Man Rebellion era of the Human Federation. At least if in the Iron Man Rebellion era, a human galaxy had a defense system of this level, the Iron Man rebel forces that dared to attack this galaxy would definitely not be able to enter the galaxy at all.

As Dorn listened to Wang Ming's description of the defense system, he nodded to Wang Ming. To him, the defense systems were already very powerful, but it would be a good idea to improve them. The defense system in the void was enough, but the defense system on the ground should still be strengthened. If he wanted to improve the defense on the ground, he would have to rely on the Imperial Fists currently stationed on Holy Terra, as well as the Ultramarines and the Star Travelers.

The current Astartes of the Empire are actually operating on a legion scale after the return of the Primarchs, and their numbers have been greatly expanded. They are no longer scattered throughout the galaxy like the previous chapters, but operate as legions on various worlds in the Empire, and among these legions, the main activity area of ​​the Imperial Fists is Holy Terra. Dorn has deployed almost half of the Imperial Fists' forces on Holy Terra, and is constantly increasing the Imperial Fists' forces on Holy Terra. Dorn will not let the Siege of Terra happen again in the Solar System, so he doesn't care at all about the suspicion of the Imperial high-level officials about his continuous increase in the Imperial Fists' forces on Terra, nor does he care about those so-called conspiracy theories.

After all, one thing has been proven in the past ten thousand years, that is, with the current situation of the Human Empire, the vision of the mortal leaders of the Empire is indeed a bit short-sighted. From the Beast War to the Third Siege of Terra, facts have proved that only by deploying a large number of Ashtar's troops on Holy Terra can the safety of the heart of the Human Empire be guaranteed. So he suddenly ignored all the suspicions and conspiracy theories of the Imperial leaders about him, even if those guys said that his behavior of deploying a large number of troops on Terra was for some dark purpose, even if those Imperial leaders felt that he was relying on troops on Holy Terra, it was the same. Dorn didn't care. He would not care about the suspicions of those mortal leaders. He would only focus on the safety of Holy Terra.

"Dorn, do you have any suggestions for this defensive deployment?"

Wang Ming looked at Dorn, who had been staring at the holographic projection. He looked at this Primarch who was skilled in defensive warfare and asked his brother.

"It needs some debugging. Your defense deployment is not bad, but if you really look at it from the perspective of a defense system, although your defense system is extremely powerful, it is too messy. The firepower of each defense platform is very strong. If an enemy really dares to invade the solar system, then the firepower of these weapon arrays may also be a huge threat to friendly targets." Dorn looked at the defense layout on the holographic projection screen. After taking a look, he told Wang Ming his analysis of this defense system. What Dorn said was also a problem that Wang Ming had considered before, that is, if the defense platform and defense equipment are too messy, without the control of high artificial intelligence, the accuracy of its fire control system is likely to accidentally injure friendly forces, but this problem is actually very easy to solve.

Since high artificial intelligence is not possible, why not just use the real Thinker array? After Wang Ming considered this situation, he immediately went to Clayrose to cultivate a large number of biological brains, and then found the Martian Mechanicus, told the Mechanicus his requirements for the Thinkers, and also symbolically gave the Mechanicus some technology in exchange for the transformation of those Thinker arrays, such as some electrical and circuit technologies from the era of the Human Federation, some maintenance guides for automatic robots, and the Federation's advanced mechanical language from learning to burial.

Anyway, judging from the instruction manuals of these weird things, the thickness of the maintenance manuals, and the difficulty of deciphering the technical language of the Human Federation, these weird things must be hundreds or thousands of years old for the Mechanicus to completely understand their meaning. Giving these things to those guys in the Mechanicus actually doesn't have much impact on the Mechanicus, at least in the short term, these guys are completely unable to thoroughly study the technology in those things, and just deciphering the technical language in those things is a very difficult problem. Those things handed over to the Mechanicus will probably eventually become a thousand-year research topic for the Mechanicus.

But no matter what, the problem that Dorn mentioned has actually been solved. With the fire control system composed of the first artificial intelligence and the thinker arrays, the probability of those defensive arrays accidentally injuring friendly forces during battle is very low. Wang Ming also explained to Dorn his solutions to the problems he had just raised.

But after learning this, Dorn had no objection to the defense system that Wang Ming had prepared for the solar system. After confirming again that there were no problems with the defense systems in the solar system, Dorn returned directly to his job and continued to strengthen the defense work on the surface of the Holy Planet Terra.

After Dorn left, Wang Ming immediately went to the Lion's Gate Spaceport and returned to the fleet before Guilliman wanted to pull him into the Dome Temple to work overtime. The reason Wang Ming gave to Guilliman was that the defense project of the solar system has not been completed yet, and a large number of personnel deployments require him to come in person. Guilliman may be able to mobilize personnel on those defense platforms in the void, but that huge fleet must be operated by professional technicians on the fleet. After all, the fleet Wang Ming brought out this time did not dismantle the artificial intelligence, and the only ones who can perfectly adapt and operate this fleet are the families of the crew members on the fleet who have followed Wang Ming in battle for hundreds of years.

As a fleet guarding the solar system, Wang Ming did not dismantle the artificial intelligence on this fleet. This was not because Wang Ming completely trusted the artificial intelligence on that fleet, but because the artificial intelligence of this fleet was actually very special. As the fleet guarding the solar system in the peak era of the Human Federation, the artificial intelligence on this fleet was given the command of absolute loyalty. They were extremely loyal. Compared with those artificial intelligences with self-awareness and self-thinking, although their intelligence level was lower than those artificial intelligences, to be honest, absolute loyalty completely made up for those things about intelligence. Moreover, as the artificial intelligence of the Human Federation, no matter how low their intelligence level was, it would not be much lower. At most, they lacked some self-thinking and self-emotions compared to other high artificial intelligences. However, this was harmless. Although their computing power was constrained by the level of intelligence, if they directly pursued the information, they could still increase the computing power directly, which was also harmless.

After Wang Ming returned to the fleet, he immediately began to prepare the candidates for commanding the fleet. The first was the commander-in-chief of the fleet. In fact, the commander-in-chief of this fleet had already been selected, and that was Leandro Ferreira's grandson, Coleos Ferreira. The fleet commander selected by Wang Ming is currently the captain of an Earth-class battleship in the fleet. He is a descendant of the former Imperial Truth and Captain Leonardo Ferreira. Just like many crew members and mortal auxiliary troops on the fleet today, he was also a generation born on the fleet. He was sent to the fleet's military academy since he was a child to learn about the operation and maintenance of void ships, as well as the art of war and command skills of the Human Federation.

The commander's abilities are quite good. He is not protected by the glory of his ancestors. Compared with those inherited imperial nobles, the military position on the fleet is obtained entirely by his own hard power. As early as on the way to Holy Terra, Wang Ming had already selected a large number of candidates to join the Solar System Defense Fleet, and this captain with very strong command ability was also arranged by Wang Ming as the commander-in-chief of the Solar System Defense Fleet.

In fact, Koloyos had already been informed of this situation by Wang Ming. Now, he was about to lead a heavy fleet of 30,000 crew members selected by Wang Ming to leave and go to the Solar System Defense Fleet to form the Solar System Defense Fleet. This was a supreme honor. For both the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarum, being able to guard the Throne World was a supreme honor.

After Wang Ming made all these arrangements, he immediately led the fleet out of the solar system and began to advance towards the border of the empire. The purpose of their trip to the border of the empire this time was still because of the Tyranids. According to the news sent to them by the Necrons, the Sixth Legion encountered a tendril of the Tyranids on the border of the empire. They are currently fighting against that huge tendril. According to the alliance agreement, the Necrons have provided a series of support to Leman Russ, but it did not have much effect. Because in this battle, the Hive Mind has prepared countermeasures in advance according to the Necrons' regular weapons and anti-psychic technology, resulting in the current Necron fleet can only use conventional weapons together with the human fleet to fight the Tyranids.

Wang Ming looked at this information and immediately led his fleet to that area. He didn't know how the Tyranids cracked the Necrons' anti-psychic technology, but given the current situation, Wang Ming had to go there. He had to go there to prevent any unexpected situations from happening. At the same time, he also had to collect some intelligence about this Tyranids. A Zerg biological fleet that could even counter anti-psychic technology was no longer an ordinary threat.
