Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 109 Technology Fusion

Without the threat of most knights, the process of occupying the entire Varipsoria seemed particularly smooth.

Those enemies who were still armed with cold weapons were not a threat at all, and the knights who were not in the castle group were also arranged to be hunted by Thor and Gorgon.

Fortunately, the area of ​​the outer planets of the Winsterkel Realm that was corrupted by Khorne was not too large.

The entire planet can still be saved.

The Rangers began to clear the planet of the remaining forces.

The logistics team began to search for valuable things on the planet.

Priests from the state church began to try to purify the corruption.

And began to spread the name of Gao Yi as the savior among the people who survived the disaster.

There is no time more appropriate than now. At this moment, sufficient supplies and a bite of hot food can touch people's hearts more than anything else.

Ymir looked at the mushroom soup in her hand and took a deep breath.

He swore that this was the most fragrant thing he had ever smelled in his life. He took a sip and warmth instantly flowed through his body, quickly calming his mind.

"Brother, what is this? It's so delicious!" Anna drank it in big gulps and even licked the whole bowl clean. Compared with what she had eaten before, it was simply not food for human beings.

Ymir smiled and poured half of the soup in her bowl into Anna's bowl.

"Brother, you drink too."

"I'm full! You drink!"

Ymir looked up and saw priests walking among their group of refugees and saying a name he had never heard of before, Gaoyi Mungt.

Let Ymir know that it was this person who saved them and provided them with food.

And a tall and heroic image also took shape in Ymir's mind.

Loyalty is sometimes formed so simply.

Even Gao Yi didn't notice that his subspace projection had actually absorbed a wisp of faith power, but this amount of faith power was too little for his current subspace projection.

Under Gao Yi's order, he did not let these civilians idle. Instead of distributing food to them for free, it was more appropriate to let them exchange food for labor.

Although construction machinery can easily complete these tasks that civilians need a lot of manpower to complete, only a home built by one's own hands can give people more motivation to protect it.

Gao Yi did have sympathy for these people when he saved them, as he felt that their lives were too miserable, but he also had selfish motives. This planet had already been incorporated into his dynasty, and he needed these people to protect his territory. To cultivate their loyalty, he also needed them to make more contributions to his dynasty, or even sacrifice for it.

As one's altitude becomes higher and higher, one's thoughts will also change. While saving more people, Gao Yi will also make it more in line with his own interests.

The castle of the rebellious knight family has become a ruin.

After destroying the castle complex, although the enemies were quickly annihilated, a large number of valuable items were also buried under the ruins.

At this time, Pavian was having his priests use SCVs and various engineering machines to clean up the ruins.

A large number of civilians were also transported here by the Rangers using transport planes for cleanup work.

The Rangers were on guard in the surroundings, just in case some guys who were not yet dead were dug out from under the ruins. After all, the vitality of these Chaos believers was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

As the ruins were continuously cleared, some Khorne believers who were still breathing were actually dug out. Even though they were paralyzed, they still bared their teeth and cursed the humans in front of them.

The lucky ones were met with a bullet, while the unlucky ones were beaten to death by angry civilians with shovels. Pavian waited anxiously on the side.

He had been digging for two days but still hadn't found what he was looking for.

Just when he thought it might have been destroyed by the Gorgon's artillery, the priests also brought good news.

He strode toward the dig site.

As several huge rocks were lifted up.

The hangar where ten Knights were parked was excavated.

The "Styx-class Warriors, Lancers, and Patrol Knights" knights that had not yet been activated were now lying here in a mess, and around them were many holy weapon guards who had been crushed to death or killed by the shock waves of the artillery.

They are equivalent to the technical priests of the knight families. Although the names are different, these people have all been trained by the Mechanicus and their duties are almost the same as those of priests. Their job is to repair and maintain these knights.

Pavian was very satisfied with these knights. Although they were corrupted, it was not a problem for the Holy Mechanicus.

One by one, the priests placed purity seals on the bodies of these knights. As the seals took effect, the corrupted machine souls were slowly getting rid of the influence of chaos corruption. It didn't take long before normal machine souls reappeared among these knights.

As long as the blasphemous decorations on these knights are removed, they will become excellent machine souls loyal to mankind. The knights' machine souls have a strong sense of autonomy and can even defend their drivers in court. Except for the tyrannical machine souls like the Styx class, most machine souls are unwilling to be corrupted by Chaos.

There have even been cases where corrupted machine spirits were forced to strike and request others to destroy them.

Although the dynasty already has Thor, it lacks large vehicles capable of close combat. These knights can make up for the dynasty's shortcomings in this regard. Even if they are not used by themselves, they can be sold to others in exchange for a large amount of throne coins and various resources.

But the most valuable thing is not the knights themselves.

Pavian controlled the mechanical tentacles behind him and began to gather the bodies of the holy artifact guards together.

He began to open their brains and take out the storage components inside them. Although the scene was a bit bloody and cruel, Pavian seemed very excited every time he took out a component.

He looked at the several damaged Thinkers in the ruins.

He and the priests began to repair these thinkers. When the thinkers were connected to energy and turned on again, the data inside showed that they were inaccessible. However, another purity seal was slapped on them, and the Knight Family's crude encryption method was automatically activated with the great joy of the Machine Soul.

And what's in it is exactly what Pavian needs.

Maintenance and repair techniques related to the Knight Mecha. Although the Knight Family cannot independently produce these large vehicles, over the years, they have finally figured out some tricks. At least in some principles, these holy weapon guards also have their own unique insights.

The development of Thor has reached a bottleneck, and with this knowledge, Pavian can use the powerful computing power of the Star Pioneer to crack its technology. The Knight was originally a civilian mecha used for colonization in the Golden Age.

Perhaps there is a chance to combine the technology of the Knight Mecha with the technology of Thor to create a more powerful large mecha.

The fleet that the Star Pioneers were in was originally a colonial fleet. Although the data was no longer complete, Pavian still found a lot of incomplete technical documents through sorting and searching.

When Gao Yi heard Pavian's idea, he praised him without hesitation!
Thor's firepower is sufficient, but when he is away from the medical ship, his maneuverability and flexibility are much worse than the knight's.

Modularity has its advantages, but excessive modularity also makes it impossible for Thor's limb joints to wield melee weapons as freely as the Brave Knight.

Once the Thunder God gets close to them, they can almost be slaughtered by the Brave Knights. Both of them have gone to the extreme.

If the two are combined, unexpected results may occur.

"Pavian, I will once again increase your resources. I hope you can complete the design of the next generation of heavy mecha as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, my lord. My priests and I will do our best. I already have some ideas!"
