Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 52: Warm-up for Season 3

Quan Tiehua was initially very happy when he heard the news, and then proposed that plasma pistols be equipped for all of them in Astartes.

China's side also moved quickly, launching dozens of projects in quick succession. And this didn't hinder the research and development of the plasma pistol. All of this was thanks to those college students who had already seriously overspent.

Moreover, for these projects, nearly 20% of the annual budget was even cut directly and extravagantly to fund their production and expenses.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, the reports were made to look almost exactly the same as usual!
This led to a significant reduction in the takeoff weight of the latest J-series fighters equipped with anti-gravity technology. Consequently, regardless of the aircraft type, there was a frenzied effort to equip them with aerial dogfighting weapons developed based on explosive guns.

Have you ever seen a chubby girl with anti-gravity covered in turrets that use explosive guns as anti-aircraft firepower?
Its firepower is as fierce as a hedgehog's!
They've even gone so far as to consider equipping the Tiangong space station with various weapons.

However, this would drastically alter the structure of aircraft and space stations. After all, the terrifying recoil of a bomb gun would likely tear an ordinary person's arm apart with just one shot.

Therefore, it was kicked out of the key research and development sequence by the decision-makers.

As anti-gravity was the first project launched, it was given priority in research, development, manufacturing, and use.

Almost every month, several launch vehicles have been launched. This has not only expanded the area of ​​the Tiangong space station, but has even begun to cause subtle changes on the moon.

Even at the annual meeting, the naval representatives, who were usually cheerful, all wore sour expressions.

What aircraft carriers? What new ships? Construction was halted, and they were swept into the dustbin of history like trash.

As for why it's so fast?

We have to hurry, or we'll be in deep trouble.

Because of the Seraphic Angels incident, Season 3 is definitely going to start, and very soon!
Once the monster wormhole issue is resolved, it will be necessary to open it within the next year or two!

As a result, organizations led by America, and even Russia, have begun to pour money and support into the PP DC.

Mech production lines were restarted in almost every country, and production began at a frenzied pace, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

This explains why the current situation in Xiangcheng, with its shattered dome base and the attacks of the Tail-tailed Rat and the Ridge-backed Turtle, differs so greatly from the original storyline!
However, even at this point, all the important broken bases around the world remained closed or in private hands.

Almost anyone with a discerning eye can see what this is all about. Various countries have begun to frequently send their trained personnel to the Shattered Dome base in Xiangcheng for personnel rotation.

Clearly, this is a special personnel rotation, in preparation for something big to come.

However, China did not have the energy to pay attention to these matters; it simply instructed the stationed personnel to do a good job of supervision.

However, it wasn't until Pp DC, with ample funding and personnel, that they began the plan to create a nuclear wormhole.

China has finally produced a crucial piece of equipment that can enhance its military strength.

A miniature version of power armor!
Modeled after the power armor of the Astartes, it was disassembled, replicated, and shrunk to fit the current human body size.

Although significant progress has been made in the production of ceramic steel armor plates, and some samples have already been produced.

However, mass production is still not feasible.

Therefore, these power armors used by Chinese soldiers can essentially be considered exoskeletons.

It simply adds a more robust and lightweight bulletproof armor plate to the structure.

In addition to its internal shock absorption, it can almost withstand frontal fire from a 12.7mm heavy machine gun.

As for battery life... although some people initially suggested using an Astartes Bena, which is essentially a scaled-down version of a powered backpack.

However, after understanding the principle, it was decisively abandoned! Nobody wants to be hit by a rocket and cause a nuclear explosion within a radius of several kilometers.

In that case, what's the point of fighting chickens?

Wouldn't it be better to just use nuclear weapons to wipe out the enemy?
Therefore, it can only be powered by batteries, but the battery life is quite long. It can withstand five consecutive days of high-intensity operation.

It also allows each person to increase their average speed to 20 kilometers per hour while carrying nearly 200 kilograms of items!

Moreover, it consumes almost no of the soldier's physical strength!

Such a heavy load means that each person can carry a machine gun and several cannons.

The army soldiers exclaimed: "A rifle? What's that? Isn't that something the police department uses?"

Although the Seraphic Angels have already established in-depth cooperation with China, the necessary vigilance remains.

Each person still travels with two Astartes. Even when sleeping, they stay in the same room!
And one of them must wear power armor and be fully armed.

After all... apart from Quan Tiehua, they're basically a bunch of lunatics!
As a result, the entire Iron and Steel Company now frequently sees Astartes, wearing specific tight-fitting pants and shirtless, whipping the top soldiers of each military region half to death, just like they're slapping children.

Then another fully armed Astartes stood there, silently watching with his gun at the ready.

For some reason, I always felt that the soldiers were guarding the prisoners to prevent them from rioting, in order to ensure the safety of the officer who was throwing a tantrum.
"It seems war is about to break out!" One day, Regiment Commander Afus suddenly stopped Quan Tiehua. Then he began to call a meeting for the entire regiment.

The first words spoken after the meeting surprised everyone. Then, they all glanced at Quan Tiehua, who was sitting upright to the side, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, all the Astartes had noticed this phenomenon long ago, but none of them paid any attention to it. After all, in their view, it was an internal conflict among the mortal forces of this world.

Moreover, they haven't joined the empire yet, and they won't have the chance to join in the future.

So no one paid any attention to these things. But today, the commander's first words at the meeting were about the war in this world!
This did surprise them, and they all wondered if the commander was ordering them to participate in the war.
Quan Tiehua had already foreseen that Season 3 was about to begin here.

He didn't take this matter to heart at all, because he was now a high-ranking Astartes.

From Astartes' perspective, this was just a minor squabble between mortals. And while he also saw it as a minor squabble, being born in China, he still had some concerns about the upcoming Season 3.

He was concerned about the damage China would suffer in this war, and also worried that cooperation between the warband and China would be delayed.

Although he hid his emotions well, all the brothers in the group could tell that he was acting strangely lately.

You might not be able to see the change in his emotions between the day before yesterday and today, but if you compare his emotional changes today with those ten days ago, you will see a very obvious difference.

Ordinary people might not be able to see anything, but those who are Astartes are very perceptive in sensing it.

But no one said anything, and no one offered any comfort!

Everyone knew their warband was a mixed one. You could even say that each brother had his own secrets, so even if those brothers discovered some clues, they wouldn't ask too many questions.

This is to give each other some leeway and respect.
