Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Chapter 153 The Agrippina Meat Grinder Undergoes a Change of Twist

Lawson landed atop an abandoned communications spire thousands of meters high on Klein-IV.

The wind howled.

The air pressure at high altitudes was extremely low, and the surrounding area was filled with a suffocating mustard-yellow poisonous cloud.

Visibility here is less than ten meters, and the air is filled with a deadly poison that could instantly dissolve the lungs of an ordinary person.

"Manifestation".

This is an extremely dangerous attempt.

Forcibly dragging the properties of the subspace into the real universe usually results in catastrophic subspace rifts.

But Lawson's endogenous psionic energy provides an unbreakable insulating layer.

The space began to groan in despair, as if it were about to collapse.

About fifty meters above Lawson's head, a gap was forcibly torn open in the laws of physics.

An absolute darkness the size of a volleyball slowly emerged from the thick poisonous cloud.

The surrounding air and toxic fog were distorted into a strange spiral spectrum the instant they approached its edge, and then disappeared.

The campaign was successfully launched.

However, having crossed the dimensional barrier, the black hole that was thrown into the real universe did not grow much larger than it did in subspace, and still maintained the size of a volleyball.

A black hole of this size, if used to devour the atmosphere of a star, would be as efficient as draining the ocean with a syringe.

Lawson injected a massive bio-electromagnetic pulse into this singularity.

"expansion."

The edge of the black hole began to tremble violently.

Visible ripples of gravity spread outwards in concentric circles.

With Lawson's relentless infusion of psionic energy, half a meter. One meter. Two meters...

Ultimately, expanding to a diameter of three meters is already the current physical limit.

If we continue to forcibly enlarge it, the structure of the real space will completely collapse.

A black hole with a diameter of three meters hangs thousands of meters in the air.

Next, Lawson witnessed a scene that shocked him greatly.

The instant the black hole begins operating at full power, its terrifying gravitational field, like an inverted funnel, plunges violently into the clouds below.

The sulfur dioxide, strong acid aerosols, deadly filthy fungi, and even the subspace corrupting psionic energy attached to gaseous molecules in the toxic cloud were rapidly absorbed by the black hole.

The clouds within a ten-kilometer radius began to spin wildly, forming a spectacular yellow cyclone.

At the center of the cyclone is that absolute darkness, three meters in diameter.

Like a whale swallowing its prey, the black hole continuously absorbed the substances contaminated by the plague legion.

Lawson stood atop the spire, looking up at the enormous vortex of clouds above.

The gravitational field is operating at full capacity.

The starlight streamed down through the gaps in the cleared clouds, casting a clean spot of light about ten kilometers in diameter on the spire's adamantine platform.

Atmospheric visibility in this area has returned to standard levels.

However, on Lawson's Retina data board, the macro-meteorological modeling provided by Swarm Intelligence presents a less than optimistic picture.

The absorption rate is very fast, based on observations of the local physical environment.

However, this speed is still too slow compared to a standard agricultural world planet with a diameter of nearly 20,000 kilometers.

A planet's atmosphere is not a static petri dish.

It is a dynamic encapsulation layer with extremely complex hydrodynamic characteristics.

Once the black hole empties the toxic cloud at this coordinate point and forms a low-pressure area, high-pressure toxic clouds from other areas of the planet will quickly flow in and fill the gap with atmospheric circulation.

Based on the fluid dynamics calculations of swarm intelligence—

Even with continuous operation for 24 hours a day, it would take a full 47 years to completely drain the global toxic cloud thousands of meters thick on the surface of Klein-IV using only a black hole projection with a diameter of three meters.

-

He needs to test the physical output limits of his endogenous psionic powers.

"Computing power overclocking. Establishing multi-dimensional anchor points."

Each black hole projection requires forcibly tearing a gap in the physical structure of the real universe and maintaining its stability with massive bio-electromagnetic pulses.

A second black hole, three meters in diameter, appeared five kilometers to the left of the spire.

Then came the third and the fourth.

As the number of black holes increased, Lawson felt an extremely subtle stinging sensation in his mind.

He tested the upper limit.

With his current physical carrying capacity after completing the fifth genetic base leap, and the current total bandwidth of the swarm intelligence's computing power, he can deploy up to three hundred black hole projections at the same time.

If this number is forcibly exceeded, the network nodes of the swarm intelligence will suffer widespread neural burnout due to overload.

Three hundred singularities, each three meters in diameter.

Now, Lawson is facing a purely systems problem.

Did he project all three hundred black hole projections onto the planet Klein-IV in one go? Or did he distribute them evenly across the seventeen agricultural worlds in the Klein system?

If distributed equally, each planet would receive approximately seventeen black hole projections.

This decentralized deployment can simultaneously curb the ecological deterioration of seventeen planets, but the cycle of draining the toxic cloud will be extended to more than three years.

During these three years, no agricultural reconstruction can be carried out on the surface; the only option is to rely on green-skinned livestock farms to collect carcasses.

If deployed centrally.

The projections of three hundred black holes form a global gravitational matrix, and the resulting "fanatic" effect will undergo a qualitative change.

It no longer simply absorbs, but forcibly alters the entire planet's atmospheric circulation system, creating a global super cyclone that actively draws all toxic clouds into its engulfing center.

Lawson thought for a moment.

Ultimately, all three hundred black hole projections were placed on a single planet.

It is better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten.

This is the most basic military logic, and it also applies to planetary-level environmental modification.

The goal is to thoroughly purify a planet to the point where it can grow crops that meet imperial standards, establish a complete photosynthetic ecological cycle, and then move on to purifying the next planet.

This is more efficient and has a stronger ability to withstand risks.

"Execute centralized deployment."

-

In the stratosphere of Klein-IV, the space barrier is being torn apart.

Three hundred absolutely dark spheres, arranged in the most perfect hydrodynamic array calculated according to swarm intelligence, are evenly distributed across the planet's various tropospheric nodes.

Three hundred projectors have been installed.

It's like placing three hundred exhaust fans with terrifying suction power in the starry sky of this agricultural planet.

A physical spectacle unfolded in the atmosphere of Klein-IV.

The mustard-yellow poisonous cloud, which had been lifeless and stagnant like a pool of still water, began to churn violently.

Globally, there are extreme differences in air pressure distribution.

Pulled together by three hundred black holes, a super hurricane with wind speeds exceeding four hundred kilometers per hour swept across the planet's surface.

However, the hurricane did not damage the surface.

Because the wind direction is vertically upward.

Massive amounts of sulfur dioxide, acidic aerosols, and putrefactive substances formed yellow tornadoes hundreds of meters in diameter, rushing backwards towards the sky and disappearing into the three hundred dark singularities.

Like being swallowed whole by a giant whale, the subspace matter in the air was being swallowed up without stopping.

Lawson stood atop the spire, letting the gale sweep across the surface of his Tiger King armor.

He cut off his attention from the external weather and turned his focus back to the internal state of the black hole projections.

He discovered a crucial data change.

As it absorbs this subspace waste, the volume of his black hole is growing at an extremely slow rate.

Initially, this increase was at the micrometer level, completely imperceptible to the naked eye.

However, the micro-monitoring network of swarm intelligence captured the expansion of the event horizon.

The physical properties of a black hole dictate that the more mass it consumes, the stronger its gravitational field becomes, and the larger its volume.

The toxic cloud of Nerubian pollution contains not only chemical toxins from the physical universe, but also a high concentration of subspace psionic energy.

When this psionic energy was swallowed by the black hole and purified by the Imperial Flame inside, it did not disappear, but was forcibly compressed into pure mass by the singularity.

Lawson smiled with satisfaction.

As black holes increase in power and size, the area they can swallow increases exponentially.

This absorption rate will increase over time.

It exhibits an exponential growth trend similar to a snowball rolling downhill.

Once all absorption is complete, these seventeen agricultural planets will see the light of day again.

By then, the 5,100 green-skinned aquaculture factories on the surface will have cleaned up the chaotic remains, leaving behind soil residue rich in basic organic matter.

With ample stellar light, the suicide engineers can immediately plant genetically modified, high-yield seaweed and starch crops.

These seventeen planets will become his most fertile food base.

Once the logistical foundation is solid, the manpower cap will be completely unlocked.
