Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 103 Quantum Communication Technology Breakthrough

"You just raided an entire cabal? How many people were there originally?"

"30 of us, all the best wolf cubs, Rogue Traders. Don't think we're barbarians without a plan. To find the great Gene Father, a little sacrifice is worth it!"

Harald also saw Gao Yi's eyes.

Indeed, it would be good if half of the people could escape, because the conspiracy group is not a group of passers-by.

As an important part of the Dark Eldar social system, even some not-so-powerful conspiracy groups have a large number of warriors, otherwise it would be impossible for them to gain a foothold in Comoros.

"Where are you going next?"

"We need to rush to the Calixis sector to reunite with the wolf pack. Rogue Trader, I hope you can repair the Frostwolf's Howl for us and provide us with crew members and necessary supplies!"

"Of course, but it will take time to repair your cruiser. I think you can stay in Agathos for the time being. Like you, I have also been recruited by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Perhaps we can go to the landing port together. After all, all ships need to enter the Great Mouth."

After hearing Gao Yi's words, Harald didn't think there was anything wrong. He certainly knew the time it would take to repair a battleship, but he didn't know that Gao Yi had something like SCV.

As long as enough SCVs are dispatched, it will only take one day to repair this battleship.

In the following days, these dozen or so Space Wolves Astartes temporarily stayed in Agathos.

Gao Yi did not let them idle either.

If you are just an ordinary planetary governor, the Astartes Chapter may be able to force the governor to hand over the personnel and various supplies they need.

But Gao Yi is a traveling merchant, and a powerful one at that.

In some cases, powerful Rogue Traders even reached the same administrative rank as the Chapter Masters of those Chapters.

In addition to repairing their warships, Gao Yi also repaired their personal power armor and weapons.

The crew and various supplies also amount to a considerable amount.

The Space Wolves obviously had no habit of paying, and they had no supplies to compensate Gao Yi for his efforts.

However, Gao Yi didn't want to give anything out. It wouldn't do any harm for him to establish a certain friendship with a startup group.

Although no substantial compensation was asked for, Gao Yi still expressed his hope that they could do something to help.

I've already given you so much for free, so it's reasonable for you to train some soldiers for me, right?
Harald did not refuse. Gao Yi saved the members of the regiment and repaired the warship. There was no need for them to refuse either emotionally or legally.

If they were to train ordinary mortal soldiers, they could still completely crush them.

But when they trained those special soldiers called Night Guards, they found that these soldiers were abnormally strong.

Apart from their skills, they could suppress these soldiers, but in terms of physical fitness, they were no match for them?
What kind of genetic modification technology is this? There's not even a trace of mechanical implants on these people.

And the combat skills of these Astartes are exactly what these Night Sentinels lack.

Dynasty's accumulation of combat skills and tactics will never be comparable to that of a startup group like the Space Wolves. The combat skills they demonstrate are the result of countless years and countless lives.

Under the training of these Space Wolves, the strength of the Night Sentinels increased visibly again.

At this time, Pavian also made progress in reverse engineering with the help of the intelligent system on the Star Pioneer.

The technology for regenerative biosteel had been successfully cracked, meaning that many heavy vehicles would have the ability to self-repair. While jump engines remained largely undeveloped, a breakthrough had been made in quantum communication technology. Relying on key information from the repair and maintenance manuals stored within the Gorgon warship system, combined with the computing power of the Star Pioneer, Gao Yi finally had the ability to build a base station.

With the establishment of a communication base station, Gao Yi finally no longer needed to use Gorgon as a medium for long-distance communication.

This means that Gao Yi has abandoned the backward and inferior communication method.

He no longer needed to worry about whether the beings in the subspace would intercept his messages, nor did he need to worry about the astropaths being driven crazy by the whispers of the subspace and becoming a potential hidden danger. If this technology was promoted externally, the hidden dangers would be much smaller than promoting the jump engine.

After all, the Imperial forces are the most severely restricted by the Warp and unable to communicate long distances.

The Chaos faction does not have such concerns, and other forces also have their own methods of long-distance communication.

The Astropathic Court, which trains astropaths, is also an institution completely under the Empire. They not only train astropaths, but their Psychic Academy also trains most of the legal psychics in the Empire and selects firewood for the Emperor.

Unlike the independence of the Navigator Family, Gao Yi now clearly possesses a warship that can jump, but once he makes this matter public, not only will Chaos come to trouble him, but even the Navigator Family may think of killing him first.

The Navigator family has survived to this day precisely because of the Empire's reliance on them. Once the Empire no longer needs them, they will no longer be noble Navigators, but instead become lowly mutants! They are targets that the Empire needs to eliminate and become a source of instability.

All dangers do not necessarily come from outside, and sometimes the inside is even more terrifying than the outside.

These problems will no longer be a problem when Gao Yi is able to manufacture his own jump engine and has sufficient strength. Gao Yi is moving forward rapidly on this path.

Three months passed, and almost every month the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Inquisition would send Agathos star messages.

Harald and others were already getting impatient.

Gao Yi began to count the forces he could mobilize, and he asked about the maintenance status of the Pavian Star Pioneer.

The missing shipborne weapons have all been loaded, but they are all energy weapons, and there are no physical artillery shells such as macro cannons installed. The structure of macro cannons is too different from that of the Star Pioneer. With the powerful main gun, there is no need for macro cannons to overload the opponent's void shield.

In addition to the Starry Sky Pioneer, there are two cruisers, the Golden Ram and the Tyrant.

20 Imperial Cobra-class destroyers and Sword-class frigates.

The number of Gorgons has reached 30.

This number of warships is almost unmatched in the entire expanded Merchant Ronin Dynasty.

Some less powerful Rogue Merchant dynasties would even be overwhelmed by the astronomical figures when faced with the maintenance costs of these warships.

These Gorgons will not sail around with Gao Yi's fleet. They will carry a large number of soldiers and equipment and directly jump into the battlefield when Gao Yi needs them.

Having accumulated enough strength, Gao Yi knew it was time to set off.

The fleet was ready, and Gao Yi's huge army also began to move.

The young soldiers were eager to make a name for themselves.

After Gao Yi opened the upward channel for soldiers and the lower-class people, people were eager to improve their status. However, such opportunities were rare in peacetime, and once the war began, military merit was the fastest way to cross classes.

Large-scale personnel transfers take time.

An advance force of 30,000 rangers had already set out and was heading towards the port of destination.
