Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 549 06.0548: "The Secret Mission of the Alien Inquisition"

"The upgrades to the Epic include the installation of a subspace transfer engine, a new Geller force field, and a large self-circulating device... The extra kilometer size increased from 1.2 to 2.2. Every inch of the additional space is definitely worth it."

"So, the void shield that I am most concerned about, have you installed it?"

Lati smiled slyly: "This is inevitable, Captain. It is understandable that a 1.2-kilometer battleship does not have a void shield because it is small enough.

But if a 2.2-kilometer battleship says it has no void shield, isn't that like opening its chest and telling the enemy to shoot here? "

She pulled open her vestments vividly and passionately to demonstrate just the right moment.

"What a strange and appropriate metaphor..." Horatio complained.

"But~"

"but……"

"Before, you could only choose one to install, Void Shield or Shadow Field. It's different now, but still limited."

"How to say?"

"Since the total energy value of the engine is limited, the shadow field is a device that requires a stable high-energy supply to form a stable operation. After all, we don't have the solar sails and spirit bone transmission technology of the Eldar aliens. So in this technology, I regret to say that we are stuck with this ancient race.

Now, both the Shadow Field Generator and the Void Shield Generator are installed, and you can choose one of them. When the Void Shield Generator is fully turned on, it can achieve a shield value of 200 points of a standard escort ship.

If you choose both, then at this time, energy will be supplied to the shadow field first, and the void shield generator can only play half of its role, that is, 100 shield points.

However, you can still use the Super Charge skill to make the Void Shield invincible for a certain period of time, and the Void Shield will recover at ten times the rate regardless of damage. Super Charge has a cooldown of 3 hours and a duration of 10 minutes.

"Okay, it's better than having no void shield and completely structural resistance."

"Of course, Captain. As a long-range cruiser attack ship, the Bayonet-class attack ship should have everything a standard small ship needs, only better and not worse.

As for her torpedoes, I will introduce them to you when you need them. They are new Helios torpedoes that we have created based on our experience in disassembling alien creations at great risk. "

"You'd better introduce yourself to me now."

"Fufufu~ You are really anxious." Lati pinched her pointed chin and smiled: "Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you generously~
The new Helios experimental torpedo can even establish an information link between torpedoes of the same type fired from different warships.

When multiple new torpedoes from multiple ships were fired at the same time, one torpedo was at a high level and turned on its active search seeker to provide guidance for other torpedoes.

The other torpedoes remain hidden at low levels, and when they get close to an effective distance, each torpedo actively searches for the enemy and looks for high-value targets.

The torpedo also has a stronger double-layer anti-fragmentation shell, anti-interception decoys, and even electronic countermeasures equipment. "

"Wetware?"

"Yes, it's made of wetware. Um... there are also servitors. One torpedo requires several servitors."

"...Okay, I just want it to be reliable and easy to use. If it doesn't work, please replace it with an old-fashioned torpedo." Horatio's tone was non-negotiable.

“Of course it works!”

"You experimented?"

"Uh……"

"I think I should probably replace it."

"Captain~" Latti suddenly became coquettish: "Just do the experiment for me! Anyway, I have test-fired five rounds in Connor and there were no problems. The experimental data is here and you can check it at will." Her tone was full of confidence. Horatio took the experimental data and read it. If the data was not falsified, at least the five samples of this new weapon had achieved good results.

"Then I'll believe you this time."

"I knew you were the best, Captain." Latti immediately smiled, and the bright red artificial eye rotated to analyze a series of parameters of Horatio's facial expressions.

"But please remember, Father Latti, I trust you this time not because of the agreement and friendship between you and me, but because you have not made any mistakes so far. Please continue to do so and don't let me down, okay?" He raised his iron hand and shook it.

"Of course! Captain, as you wish, I will."

"Perhaps I should meet the family members of the ship's navigator."

"Of course, Captain. The pilothouse is in the bow. This family served the Indefatigable, and while the Indefatigable is now at the shipyard in Gothic, they will also serve the Epic."

"captain."

As Horatio finished his words, Thei's voice came from the rosary.

"What is it, Thei?"

"May I ask if you are free to chat with me? And by the way, wait for my mentor for a while."

"Of course, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, let's meet in the hall."
-
Horatio sat on the soft seat of the sofa, holding a cup of Reka coffee with mellow spices in his hand, crossing his legs and leaning back on the soft seat of the sofa in a quite relaxed manner, as if the person sitting in front of him was not an inquisitor, but an ordinary charming girl.

The girl took a sip of the milk tea in the cup held by her slender fingers. The rich and fragrant milk flavor filled her mouth and her rosy lips slowly left the cup.

"This is really a nice tea, thank you for the treat, Captain.

I think I should tell you about our special mission." Thei smiled.

Horatio nodded slightly.

The girl took out a jar from her bag. The jar was filled with biological preservation fluid, in the middle of which floated two red meat balls with tentacles.

It may look a little creepy at first glance, but if you look closely, it looks like an evil parasitic tumor from a Cthulhu novel. But it is another important and indispensable pillar of the human empire.

"These are two gene seeds, but they are not ordinary gene seeds."

"So, it's the gene-seed of the 'Super Raven Guard'?" Horatio leaned in to examine it.

"I can't confirm it, and neither can Brother Korchagin. Its existence is beyond our knowledge. But it is undeniable that these two gene seeds have a benign mutation."

"Benign mutation? All I know is that Chief Kroot beat us pretty badly."

"These two gene seeds have a certain degree of warp resistance. We don't know where Chief Kroot ate these two gene seeds, but its owner should be a powerful warrior."

"Then at least we should be able to figure out which legion it is from by looking at the genetic sequence, right?"

Thei shook his head. "Unfortunately, since this gene seed has undergone a benign mutation, even if we compare it with the gene sequence comparison table recorded within the Inquisition, we cannot confirm which legion it once belonged to. However, I think this will be a very valuable clue."

"Excuse my stupidity. I fail to see how it relates to your mission."

"First, curbing the invasion of the Tau Empire is definitely our top priority. Secondly, civilian ships have witnessed the presence of unknown Space Marine chapters around this area of ​​space."
