Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 437 06.0436: "Full Band Silence"

The minor incident on the bridge did not disrupt the sailing plan.

A transport fleet loaded with expeditionary forces set sail from the orbital megastructure of the Zhendan Sky, dragging a blue plasma trail, and headed towards the distant frontline war zone.

Amid the cheers of the crew, the Epic also made her first actual voyage.

The crew members were full of excitement and nervousness, and slowly started the warship according to the training exercises.

Through communication with the machine soul, Captain Horatio has understood all the functions of this battleship.

In order to deal with the threat from the Tau, the priests of Voss carried out specialized upgrades on these warships before departure.

They provided experimental nuclear deflagration torpedoes.

This torpedo machine soul is ferocious and extremely unstable.

But it is said that as long as the hull can be penetrated, a terrible catastrophic explosion will be set off inside the enemy ship, causing continuous fire.

The Epic was also allocated several additional heat-seeking heads, which can control the torpedo's direction and track the enemy's tail flame signal, and completely destroy the engine when it hits.

This is a good choice for attack ships that want to save torpedoes and achieve the greatest containment results with the least consumption. Especially in the process of anti-pursuit, it can play a great role in killing the chasing enemy.

Of course, the Epic needs to lower the engine power to a level where the tail flame is not visible when launching the stern torpedo, otherwise the torpedo may turn back and hit its own stern engine after being fired.

In addition, there are several sets of torpedo wires as long as 500 kilometers.

Using this cable guidance, the Helios torpedo without a guidance head can also perform certain steering operations, just like a wire-controlled missile, which is the most reliable guidance method.

The preset towed divination device at the stern of the attack ship has also been officially implemented, which allows the attack ship to tow out a long towing line, with a "divine teller" detector towed at the end of the line.

In this way, when active radiation wave detection is unavoidable, the "Fortune Teller" detector can be activated to mislead enemy ships into attacking the towed "Fortune Teller" detector as a target, thereby achieving radiation control and stealth for the attacking ship to the greatest extent.

As the fleet loaded with troops and supplies sailed into the battle zone, everyone was excited but also nervous.

This area of ​​the universe is called the 'Dark Region', and a large number of wreckages of various warships are floating in the void.

Those parts Horatio could recognize included the wreckage of warships from the Imperial Navy, the Ultramar Garrison Fleet (Ultramar had a local fleet), and many warships of the Tau and their vassal armies.

The Gothic Fleet was not the first fleet to participate in the Second Damocles Gulf Crusade. Before Cato Sicarius visited Abyssal Harbor, Ultramar's fleet had already fought a fierce battle with the Tau expansion fleet here.

The front-line control areas are now jagged and complex, and even the Ultramarines and their sub-regiments, who are famous for planning battles, cannot draw a real-time map of the current battle situation.

Under the protection of the Guardian's regular fleet, the Tau expansion fleet was like a greedy hyena, gnawing at and devouring the empire's territory.

Their Water Clan ambassadors are extremely threatening to the Empire. With the help of spies, they will rush to all corners of the starry sky, approaching everyone from planetary governors to the poor in enemy nests, using various sugar-coated bullet strategies and promising all kinds of favorable conditions to make the other side willingly give up resistance and become a member of the Tau Empire.

This resulted in many Tau fleets leapfrogging across the front lines without warning, with those Imperial worlds that had not wavered holding out only to have the worlds behind them rebel and be cut off from supplies.

For these worlds that have been cut off from supplies, the Tau will once again send out Water Caste ambassadors to persuade them to surrender. If the planetary governor still performs his duties conscientiously, the Tau will send Fire Warriors to conduct "three negotiations" with them.

This caused the Empire's Far Eastern territories to fall much faster than any other part of the Empire.

It also nurtured the Tau from an unknown small civilization into a visible threat.

The intelligence received by the Empire's logistics fleets often could not keep up with the rapidly changing battle lines, which resulted in many fleets still transporting supplies and troops to the fallen worlds. As a result, they were all captured when they arrived at their destinations, and they provided supplies to the enemy in vain.

"This is the Imperial Navy's Epic, Ultramar Escort Fleet. Please shut down all radiation wave sources on the ship."

As the highest-ranking Imperial Navy officer in this escort team, Horatio naturally became the supreme commander. At this time, he issued a radiation control order to the Ultramar local fleet.

"Sir, if we turn off the active search radar, we will not be able to detect the safety of the fleet's surroundings!" An officer of the local defense fleet said with a frown. From his uniform, it can be seen that he is in command of an Ultramar-style non-class escort ship.

"I know, but when you turn on the active divination radar, it is like shining a beam of strong light in the dark forest. This beam of strong light can help you find the enemy and also announce to the surrounding beasts that 'there is prey here'. Don't worry too much, leave the peripheral reconnaissance to the Imperial Navy."

The officers of the Ultramar Defense Fleet looked at each other and discussed in their own channels. After a while, the source of the radiation waves in front of Horatio disappeared.

Horatio then communicated with a strike cruiser carrying the Doomhawks of the Ultramarines.

The strike cruiser and the two escorting Gladius escort ships then followed the strategic intent of the Imperial Navy and implemented radiation control.

"From now on, we will sail in silence, communication signals will be controlled, and communications will use the standard flag signals of the Imperial Navy."

Horatio had the flag bearer send out a signal.

Soon, all surrounding warships carried out further radiation control, and all uses of everything from active omnidirectional radar detection waves to long, medium and short wave communications were prohibited.

Wired communications are used within the ship, and holographic flag signals are used externally.

The signal waves on the feedback screen of the passive frequency detector in front of Horatio finally disappeared.

The entire fleet sailed towards the front line as if it were invisible.

But Horatio knew very well that doing so would only prevent the Tau raiders from coming to him.

But it did not prevent the Tau air-to-surface radar from searching for the movements of this huge fleet.

To this end, he prepared a second layer of protection.

The six attack ships surrounded the escorted fleet at a certain distance.

"Turn on the passive radar wave receiving device." Horatio gave new instructions to the attack squadron.

The team led by Henry Harvey wore monitoring headphones and listened attentively to whether there were any sources of radiation signal waves around them.

While listening attentively, they wrote and drew on the ship's operation diagram with feather pens, marking clues such as the movement, frequency, wavelength, amplitude, etc. of the detected signal source.

This can distinguish whether the signal source is an imperial ship or an enemy ship.

During that time-blurred period of warp travel.

With the help of Father Latti, Horatio collected statistics on all possible radiation frequency characteristics around Ultramar.

And compile them into a book for officers and warrant officers to screen and distinguish.

He also used two characters + numbers to divide the war zones into reference star zones, and expanded them reasonably based on the skill range of his "Void Commander" (primary).

It was divided into multiple cubic spaces of 5000×5000×5000 kilometers and distributed to all attack squadrons, with a unified dedicated coordinate area inside.

The usage of this new coordinate area is: when an attack ship reports that an enemy trade fleet has been found in the AN94 area and a wolf pack attack is needed, it can send an encrypted signal to other attack ships - "An enemy trade fleet has been found in the AN94 area."

Even if the Tau intercepted and deciphered this message.

They also didn't know which area the Imperial Navy was referring to by 'AN94'.

The other attack ships of the Imperial Navy were able to quickly filter by characters on the holographic icon and find the AN94 area.

"Captain Fasha, Lieutenant Veronica, please organize the air force to take off immediately and spread the peripheral alert area. If there is any situation, wireless communication is allowed. Our ship cannot receive it back."

"receive."
