Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 344 Self-End
"They said before that if they had a chance to leave the miniature world and couldn't deal with Kodiko, they would commit suicide."

"It's easy for people like us to live, but difficult to die. There is only one place nearby that is suitable for suicide."

"That's the nuclear fusion device."

Even without the help of stone men and maintenance equipment, the engineers knew the ship better than anyone else.

He led Qin Xia and Brown through corridors with ease, occasionally activating some devices capable of subspace teleportation to fixed locations.

Finally, they arrived at an empty cabin with only a gate standing there.

"Be sure to wear this." The engineer walked to the wall and pressed it, and then the wall rose up, revealing a row of neatly arranged power armors.

That's probably power armor.

Qin Xia didn't know what it was used for, but it looked a bit like the Terminator tactical dreadnought armor used by the Human Empire's Space Marines, except that it had a more technological feel and didn't have as many decorations. It was just a simple black color without so many sharp edges, and there were no weapons or individual energy shields or anything like that.

"We will enter the maintenance cabin of the nuclear fusion device in a while, so be sure to put it on!" Seeing that Qin Xia and Brown were unmoved, the engineer gave instructions while putting on the power armor.

He walked in front of the power armor and opened his arms, and the power armor automatically unfolded and wrapped him inside.

The engineer, who is about 1.7 meters tall, becomes nearly 2.5 meters tall after putting on the power armor, which shows how tall and heavy this ancient protective equipment is.

"I can do without this," Brown said.

"I don't need to wear it because I'm a psychic." Qin Xia said.

"Okay." The engineer took a step forward and walked towards the gate with heavy footsteps.

Qin Xia noticed that the engineer's movements did not slow down at all after putting on the power armor, but became even faster.

"The Stone Man is indeed a good assistant. You can work in any high-risk environment." The engineer entered the password in front of the gate. "I don't know where my Stone Man assistant went after the Iron Man's rebellion. A natural person like me has to wear this thing if I want to enter a high-risk environment... It's too bulky."

The gate opened, revealing the next gate.

Then the next gate opened again, revealing another gate.

Every time a gate opens, the road ahead becomes brighter, but the temperature and electromagnetic interference become more intense.

Qin Xia used his spiritual energy to support himself.

Brown just took it head on.

Engineers are even fine wearing power armor.

After twenty gates opened in succession, the three of them entered a larger cabin.

When Qin Xia heard the engineer say that this was the cabin of the nuclear fusion device, he thought that there was at most a shiny thing here, and even felt that a nuclear fusion device was not worthy of a ship from the golden age.

After all, humans began studying nuclear fusion before the space age. After so many years, with subspace technology and so on, it would be too confusing to use nuclear fusion to power ships.

But when Qin Xia saw the device clearly, he realized that this device was indeed a nuclear fusion device, but it was not used to provide energy for ships. Instead, it was used to grow natural crops in farmlands on colonial ships, in resorts with oceans, as well as in cities and other places that needed a sun.

The device looks exactly like a miniature version of the sun.

It was suspended in the center of the cabin, surrounded by all kinds of creations that Qin Xia couldn't understand. He also didn't know how the light and shape of this thing could be seen outside the cabin.

However, Qin Xia could sense that the point of this thing was not the nuclear fusion technology it used, but that the people who made it replicated the characteristics of a small sun and a real star.

This results in the high temperature of a sun, the movement of sunspots, strong electromagnetic interference...all of which are also scaled down and replicated on the nuclear fusion device like its appearance. Otherwise, there are ways to use the principle of nuclear fusion without creating this high-temperature dangerous environment.

Instead of looking around, the engineer looked toward a piece of equipment.

Then a warning tone sounded in the cabin.

[Artificial sun efficiency: has been reduced by one level, now: extremely inefficient. ]

"Artificial sun?" Qin Xia muttered, "This is really a simple and unpretentious name."

The light released by the device called artificial sun weakened a little, and the three black figures standing in the light were gradually visible to others.

The three people who claimed to be tourists were wearing power armor, holding hands, standing close to the artificial sun, looking up at the huge monster in front of them.

"We survived, but Kodiko died!" The engineer shouted to his companions, "Let's go together and kill all the other clones. This is what we should do, not seek death!"

The engineer didn't say anything like "Don't be impulsive."

Because he knew that these humans who were born in the same era as him would not drive themselves to death.

The three men reacted very calmly. They just turned around slowly and looked at the newcomers.

"We were in that damned display case for ten thousand years."

"We supported each other and survived until now, but that was because we firmly believed that the Federation would receive our distress signal, and then the Federation Navy would rush over to capture Kodiko."

"Then we can go back to our normal lives."

"But you have seen what is happening in this era... You are an engineer, and the ship is your home. We are not like that. Our homes, loved ones, relatives, and careers are all gone. We have no desire to continue living."

The three of them explained their reasons for committing suicide one after another.

The engineer raised his hand to dissuade them, but seemed to have thought of something and realized something, so he slowly put his hand down: "If this is your choice from the bottom of your heart."

The three tourists turned their heads and looked at Qin Xia: "In our time, when a person chooses to end his or her life, others will respect their choice, because it must be a choice made at the most extreme and desperate time... At that time, it was much more difficult to want to die than to want to live... I hope you can understand us too."

Qin Xia wanted to stop them, but when he thought about how these three people could suddenly put on power armor and come here to die, and even if they survived, there would be a thousand ways to die that he couldn't think of, so he nodded.

"Please tell Ellie," one of them said to the engineer, "We are sorry that the three of us couldn't hold on after leaving the showcase and can't go with her to complete the archaeological work that was not completed more than 10,000 years ago. We are sorry."

"Future generations." Another person looked at Qin Xia, "I hope you strong people can survive the darkest era of mankind. I hope that the super psychic you believe in will really bring an era of light and reason. Let our souls be crushed by the psychic torrent in the subspace. We are of no value to you and can't help you at all..."

The last person said nothing, but just looked at his friends.

As the three men held hands and prepared to turn around, Brown spoke up, "Can you leave the protective suits behind? Our people really need them at this time."

Hearing this, the three of them glanced at their power armor, then turned to look at the artificial sun they were about to jump into, and nodded.

"Sorry... We thought you at least wouldn't be short of this kind of thing... We'll try another way..." The three of them didn't know what they did at the same time. The power armor on their bodies unfolded at the same time. Their bodies were damaged by the scorching and burning and healed at an extremely fast speed.

Until their bodies' healing speed could no longer keep up with the speed of destruction, and there was nothing left to repair their bodies, the three people turned into ashes floating in the cabin.

The engineer lowered his head, patted his helmet, closed his eyes and observed three minutes of silence.

The three of them turned around together, and the power armors that had lost their controllers also turned around and left with the three of them.

When the gate closed again, Brown casually pulled out three tubes of blood: "I drew blood when I examined them before, so if their genetic samples are important, we can still use them."

Qin Xia looked at the three tubes of blood and was a little surprised.

Brown shrugged: "I don't want them to die, but respecting the natural person's wish to choose death is my basic setting. Another basic setting is to make a rational choice."

Qin Xia nodded silently, took the metal tube filled with blood and put it into the storage layer of the armor.

The engineer left with a dejected look on his face.

The archaeologist who did not seek death with the other three had just arrived here and put on his power armor. Seeing that only the engineer came out among all his companions, he also mourned and felt sad, but did not express any opinion on his companions' choice of death.

……

For Qin Xia, the death of the three golden humans was a sad episode. He did not know those three people, nor did he establish a friendship with them through thick and thin. He just felt sad and regretful, so he continued to do what he had to do in this colonial ship.

The engineer obviously also understood that the living had to continue to find ways to survive. During the two days that Qin Xia stayed on the ship, he adjusted the assistant AI that originally belonged to Caudico, checked the condition of the ship, and by the way, tried to find a way to get Caudico's equipment warehouse out.

But occasionally when Qin Xia went to find the engineer, he would see the engineer holding a bottle of wine.

The same thing happened today. The engineer still had the bottle of wine in his hand, but it was not Qin Xia who found him, but he took the initiative to find Qin Xia.

"I have located Codico's equipment depot." The engineer burped and took Qin Xia through the corridor outside the bedroom to the cabin at the end of the road, which was obviously the one from which they were teleported.

"Assistant. Open the cabin door," the engineer ordered.

[Received, your identity has been verified. ]

The cabin door opened and Qin Xia stepped into the cabin.

[Engineer Liu, your work performance is as perfect as His Majesty Kodiko's appearance. I believe that your new superior, who is as perfect and wise as His Majesty Kodiko, will definitely work with you to find a perfect colonial world.]

The engineer leaned against the door and said to the assistant AI in a cold voice, "When I can get the core, update the database and stop talking about finding a world to colonize. Also, I don't like the way Kodiko set you to talk, so don't praise that damn bastard Kodiko in front of me."

【receive. 】

[That ridiculous and hateful deformed bastard Kodiko died like a wild dog but he still didn't solve the problem of me not being able to connect to the core. Please make a truly wise decision that is completely different from Kodiko's bastard and let me connect to the core of the ship. ]

"I can't believe that idiot Codico spent so much money just to order such a toady and yes-man." The engineer sighed helplessly.

Qin Xia ignored the assistant AI and focused his attention entirely on the several ancient relics that belonged exclusively to Codico in front of him.

A gorgeous dress, but one that was obviously tailor-made for Caudricourt's misshapen figure.

A scepter.

Some medicine bottles.

There was also a pistol without a grip.

Qin Xia turned and looked at the engineer.

Realizing that Qin Xia and Brown didn't know what these things were, the engineer stepped forward to introduce them.

"The clothes are common in my era. They have protective functions, such as protection against radiation and extreme high and low temperatures. If there is a way to cut them, they can be made into other clothing."

"The scepter was custom-made by an artist. It integrates some small tools that are helpful for biotechnology research. The key point is that it can scan the genes and physiological structure of an organism in an instant... There should be an AI inside that can help with biotechnology research. I'm not sure about this because sometimes Kodiko uses it to do research, and sometimes he uses it to ask the assistant AI to assist in research."

"The medicine in the bottle is used to enhance psychic power, but normal people will change into Kodiko after taking it. He used that thing to turn me and others into those monstrous appearances."

"Then the gun is worn on the arm, which is equivalent to the hidden arrows in ancient times. The hit rate of this thing is 101%, which means that it can hit the target at any time. However, the power is not great. This is what Kodiko used to seize power and protect himself when he was the CEO of the pharmaceutical company."

"That's all. Kodiko hates anything that imitates the natural human form, so there are no stone men or iron men. He is superstitious about biotechnology, and those tools he thinks are useful are all organs in his body, so there are not many external objects."

[Oh, my goodness. Engineer, I haven't heard such a succinct introduction in a long time. That deformed bastard Kodiko can't even speak properly. Compared to you, he is just a maggot in the cesspool, humble and stupid.]

"Turn off the flattery function."

[Sorry, you cannot turn off the basic settings. If you have any dissatisfaction or suggestions, please contact this AI manufacturer for after-sales details. ]

The engineer sighed.

Qin Xia didn't care whether this AI liked to flatter him or not...because he didn't have to get along with this AI.

Looking at the things left behind by Codiko, Qin Xia figured out their uses.

"This garment should be cut into a cape for Angron... No, Kodiko is too short, so this thing he wears can only be made into a scarf."

"Take the scepter and the medicine bottle back for research."

"As for this gun with a 101% hit rate."

Pondering this silently in his mind, Qin Xia picked up the weapon and placed it on the arm armor of his right hand.

Somehow, the weapon just fit tightly to the arm armor, and Qin Xia pulled it hard but it didn't move at all, until the engineer came up and patted the tail of the weapon three times, and then the weapon fell into Qin Xia's hands.

Qin Xia put the weapon back on his arm armor and looked at the engineer: "Someone should come to me in a while to take away the archaeologist who decided to go to Earth. Before that, you can reconsider and decide whether to stay or go to Earth."

After hearing this, the engineer just nodded silently, obviously not intending to change his previous decision.

"If you choose to stay, then first restore the production capacity of the ship docks." Qin Xia stretched out his hand and leaned over to make himself level with the engineer's head. "Everything in this giant ship is of great use to people of my generation. Anything can change the situation of a war and save countless lives, so..."

The engineer shook Qin Xia's hand and nodded: "I am glad that I can do something for people of your generation without leaving my home."

Qin Xia took off his helmet and held it in his hand, then nodded with a smile.

After driving practice, I went home and wrote 12,000 words
In addition, I failed the third part of the test. I didn't check the car once and stopped several times in the middle of the road. The place where I took the third part of the test was next to the place where I took the second part of the test. I didn't have to check the car during the second part of the test. At that time, I was full of thoughts about how calm I was during the second part of the test, but I was still nervous when I was on the road. I can only take the second test.
