Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 110 Time Ratio
"Your Majesty, how's the system's energy?" The room door opened automatically, and Tie Hui, accompanied by his bodyguard Tiberos and the historian Drenthe, swaggered in. He casually sat down in a chair and asked the Emperor, who was floating in mid-air.

"The system's energy is full, and you can go back at any time. But now that the Holy Ark has been activated, aren't you going to learn about that Type II civilization?" The Emperor was fully aware of Tie Hui's ulterior motives.

"That's right! I'm worried that if we go back, we won't have enough time!" Tie Hui chuckled, showing his honesty. After all, he was also worried that if he lingered here too long, Abaddon would have already swept through the Nakmonde Corridor by the time they got back.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action! I've recently found some fun things in this system." The Emperor flicked his index finger across the screen, picking out a tiny dot of light. Then, he suddenly expanded his palm outward, and the dot of light transformed into a light screen, which flew to the front of Tie Hui and the others with a wave of his hand.

Everyone looked around, searching for useful information. The Emperor's voice rang out from the side, "This broken system not only has a world anchoring function, but it also has some time-related functions."

"Is it something like time stopping?" Tie Hui looked at the information text on the system screen.

100... Exchange... Sizzle... Time... Stop.

The fragmented text left him bewildered, but he was still able to roughly deduce its meaning based on his experience with the system.

"Just as you thought, using our main world as a reference unit. In other worlds, consuming a fixed amount of energy can stop time, speed it up, or slow it down."

"Doesn't that mean... if we travel 100 years into the world we're in, one second will pass over the other world?" This is amazing! If we used this thing properly, we could build warships and troops like crazy!

Tie Hui, Tiberos, and Delens following behind were all very excited. This meant that one second in the main world was equivalent to 100 years in the time-traveling world! They could use one second in the main world to instantly produce the strategic resources that could be produced in 100 years.

"Can we use it now? Do we have enough energy?" Tiberius asked with envy and fervor. Now the problem of massing troops was solved.

The emperor shook his head helplessly, causing the three of them to feel a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts.

"I'm sorry! After I found this function, I tried it out. As a result, a higher dimension, or rather an unknown entity, began to extract the system's energy, and even the psionic energy I carried began to be extracted." The Emperor recalled the scene at that time. That terrifying extraction ability instantly drained more than half of the psionic energy he had brought with him.

If I hadn't reacted quickly and immediately turned off this function, my clone would probably have been killed on the spot.

"Not enough energy! Can't we change the time ratio?" Tie Hui understood, but he still asked persistently.

“Of course. And I’ve also discovered some wonderful uses!” A smile appeared on the Emperor’s illusory face, leaving the three of them looking at each other, somewhat puzzled.

What other clever uses could this possibly have?
"It's alright! This question is about myself. Although I can't make 100 years in a second, I can make 1 year in a day, so we have plenty of time now!" The Emperor said, then brought up his system's holographic screen for the three of them to see.

"Anyway, with the system's built-in energy and a portion of my own spiritual energy, I should be able to stay in this world for about 200 years!"

Two hundred years, while not a short time, still left the three somewhat dissatisfied. The Emperor clearly noticed this, and said with a smirk, "In our world, machines require some useless steps when building things. But in the world we've traveled to, they don't! The efficiency is increased by more than just a little bit."

Upon hearing this explanation, Tie Hui thought about it and realized it made perfect sense. After all, in his previous life, they had risen from utter poverty to become the world's number one in just 60 years. And now, they had readily available technology, even more advanced than in his previous life. It was estimated that a large wave of new technologies would be developed and researched within 200 years.

Thinking about it this way, their initial dislike vanished. However, Derens and Tiberius still felt a slight melancholy in their hearts. After all, it was only 200 years—what could they possibly accomplish in that time?

Tie Hui turned his head and saw their appearance, realizing that these two had clearly not yet broken free from the fixed mindset of mechanical engineering in creating objects.

He didn't want to explain too much about the Asarian research team, plus the Yuanxing human forces' research team.

With the Great Sage Eurymils leading these research teams, combined with existing scientific research and the Holy Ark, a breakthrough should be achieved in two or three years!

Previously, Tie Hui had instructed the Great Sage Yuramirs to integrate the Nanoparticle technology into Astartes' body.

After all, the nanobots on the ship who were controlled by the Ark were arguably on par with Astartes in terms of strength.

Furthermore, in the subsequent operational meeting analysis, the conclusion was that if the Ark hadn't been so unfamiliar with Astartes, they probably could have easily killed them by simply flying kites, given the nanotech soldiers' ability to conduct maneuvering operations in space.

"200 years!" Tie Hui walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling city streets. The tallest building in the entire commercial city originally belonged to the Golden Viper. But now it had been given to Tie Hui and his group free of charge.

"What do you think our attitude should be towards the civilization on this planet?" Tie Hui was quite troubled. One reason was that he felt uncomfortable seeing the ordinary people on this planet living under capitalist exploitation.

They wanted Astartes and the mortal auxiliary army to directly intervene in all aspects of this civilization, but as an outsider civilization, they found it difficult to win over the hearts and minds of the locals.

And they will leave in 200 years, or they may not even be able to stay here for 200 years, because they will have to go to the Type II civilization.

The emperor glanced at him; he knew what the boy was thinking. As young people who had traveled from that era, their ideals were lofty.

But sometimes his behavior seems ridiculous!

唉—

This child has really suffered!
“I think normal contact is better.” Tiberius thought for a moment after hearing the question behind him, and then spoke slowly.
