Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

[Oscillating fins], a very precise structure similar to fish gills, can separate the weakest useful signals from the ubiquitous cosmic background radiation interference

[Data Processing Center] is responsible for filtering, separating and decoding the required information from the massive data monitored by the Sentinel antenna.

Now the oscillation fins have not been installed yet, and the data processing center is not in place yet. There is only a lonely sentinel antenna standing in the orbit of a dead planet in the Xihe system, and Gray Wind is debugging its power.

After all, the Xihe Galaxy is inside a miniature galaxy. Although there are star gates to communicate between the inside and the outside, it is still unknown whether the Sentinel antenna can detect information from the outside large universe inside the small universe. This has gone beyond the scope of physics and extended to the field of metaphysics.

Every plan that Russell came up with on the spur of the moment had to be implemented by the woman standing behind him. Gray Wind felt like she was almost a mother.

"Okay, the main antenna has successfully entered orbit, power debugging is complete, and we are ready to pump in energy..."

After stabilizing the sentinel antenna, the Gray Goo mothership dispersed and disintegrated above the dead planet, connected the antenna to itself, and used the sensors in its hull to temporarily act as oscillating fins, while the Gestalt consciousness took on the work of the data processing center. Using this method to test the antenna to verify the feasibility of building a sentinel inside a miniature galaxy is a unique advantage of the nanomachine cluster.

However, considering that the monitoring range of the Sentinel Array is the entire galaxy, there is a risk that the data processing center will be contaminated by harmful information. Now the risk also applies to Grey Wind, so preventive work needs to be done.

For example, placing the Zelo Soul Stone in the cabin of the Gray Gu mothership can refresh the electronic brain.

"Neural cord connection completed, energy pumped into the sentinel antenna, starting the first test run."

A cold electronic sound rang out deep in Gray Wind's consciousness. She closed her eyes in the miniature galaxy and opened them to see this world.

The first thing that came into Huifeng's eyes was a meaningless white noise. It was the microwave background radiation that had been transmitted since the Big Bang. It echoed eternally in the infinitely extended space and time, and was everywhere.

"Signal received successfully~"

Gray Wind blinked while holding the Soul Stone of Zelo, and countless nanorobots moved, connecting the oscillating fin spare parts in the cabin to their bodies one by one.

With the intervention of the oscillating fins to reduce noise, the white noise that filled the entire universe soon ceased to be monotonous. The oscillating fins were connected to the antenna like a brush dropping soft strokes on white paper, and the dull world deep in the Gestalt consciousness began to have colors and flowers.

Gray Wind's expression was slightly dazed, as massive amounts of data from the entire galaxy were loaded into her consciousness at once. Even a micro-mechanical Gestalt of Gray Wind's level felt a little overwhelmed. She felt as if her thinking was a little stuck.

The white noise had disappeared, replaced by an empty black space, with stars gradually lighting up in the sky. That was Gray Wind using its computing power to render a complete star map of the entire Milky Way in real time based on the information collected by the Sentinel antenna.

"It's so hot! My head is going to explode..."

Gray Wind held the Zelo Soul Stone in his arms, his whole body curled up, and white steam floated out from his head.

This was the first time she had undertaken such a heavy computing task since she became self-conscious. Every thought process was fully utilized, causing her to temporarily lose the ability to think. Every second, more nanorobots overheated and died, and the starlight in the galaxy became denser and denser.

"Galactic Star Map, rendering completed, took 2 hours, 1 minute and 37 seconds."

After waking up, Huifeng quickly checked his own condition and found that about 2% of the nanorobots that made up his consciousness circuit were dead.

"It seems that I have to multiply myself once in a long time to replenish the consumption." Huifeng touched his hot head, took a long breath and began to examine the galaxy map that had been stored in his mind.

The reliability of Sentinel has been verified.

The starry sky rendered by the gray wind was not beautiful, but full of various large and small holes, making it look tattered and shabby. There were also many fuzzy and hazy areas, like a bunch of mosaics stuck on the Milky Way, which made people inexplicably irritated.

"Marshal, do the image files you usually look at occasionally have this kind of mosaic?" Huifeng whispered, with the starry sky in front of him mottled and unobstructed.

The 'hole' is a wound in the real universe, an ambiguous area that merges with the subspace. Such holes are randomly scattered throughout the galaxy, like patches of psoriasis on the body of a patient with a skin disease. The largest of them is called the Eye of Terror, and the second largest is the 'Great Vortex'.

The 'fuzzy' areas are special galaxies that even the Sentinel antennas cannot detect. Some of these galaxies hide important tomb worlds of the Undead Dynasty, or perhaps they are relics left behind by some extinct aliens. There are not many of them, but they are scattered.

Grey Wind turned his main perspective to the central area of ​​the galaxy and discovered the Pot of Greed sailing along the Eye of Terror.

"So you're really investigating the Eye of Terror. I thought you were looking for a female general to have a secret date with..." Gray Wind felt deeply ashamed of his misunderstanding of the marshal.

Then he moved his perspective to the Far East Star Region. There were many subspace fluctuations and energy signals that frequently lit up on the northern western border. These were the black market traders smuggling between the Extreme Star Region and the Far East Star Region, and the imperial refugees pouring into the federal jurisdiction.

With the powerful monitoring capabilities of the Sentinel Array, underground transactions that were originally difficult to manage can now be controlled.

Gray Wind moved his gaze away from the Far East star field with satisfaction, and then headed towards the southeast corner of the Milky Way. The north side of the astronomical trench named "Damocles Gulf" by the Empire was the star field where the Vidal star sector was located.

The energy signals in the Vidal star region were very dense and complex, as if the audio signal lights were changing frequently. The migrating armies of the Necrons and the Green-skinned Orcs were fighting fiercely in this star region, causing darkness to form.

Grey Wind turned his eyes and marked the green-skinned orcs' psychic signals as green. In an instant, the entire galaxy turned green.

"Wow, wow..." Gray Wind was shocked.

When she listened to the Marshal's stories before, she often heard Russell say that there were a lot of greenskins, a lot of greenskins, and they were one of the most dangerous things in the Milky Way. It was not until now, when she saw the Milky Way star map detected by the Sentinel Array, that Grey Wind really understood what Russell meant by "a lot of greenskins".

——There are greenskins in about 2/3 of the entire Milky Way. They have spread to most areas of the Milky Way like a virus, multiplying crazily and fighting desperately in every conceivable and unthinkable corner.

In comparison, the Orcs currently fighting the Necrons in the Vidar sector are just a drop in the bucket of the total number of Orcs.

"Oh?" Huifeng was a little surprised.

She suddenly noticed that the green patch that filled the entire picture was actually moving in real time, and in the same direction.

The green tide spreading across the entire galaxy is moving in the same direction, albeit slowly and tortuously, but it is indeed moving forward.

"That is... the Solar Star Region."

Greenskins from all over the galaxy are migrating towards the Solar System where Terra is located.

"Yes, the planet called 'Armageddon' is in the Solar Region." Grey Wind remembered Russell telling her that the relic 'Khan's Throne' was suspected to be on Armageddon.

The predecessor of Armageddon was called 'Ullanor', the spiritual home planet of the greenskins. This planet was conquered by the Emperor's son Horus during the Great Crusade, and was secretly transformed by the Oilers after the Beast Wars, turning it into the current human colony, Armageddon. A relic called 'Khan's Throne' also ended up on this planet.

The orcs' supreme gods, Gogo and Maogo, once issued an oracle ordering all the greenskins in the galaxy to go to the Solar System.

The green-skinned big guy who successfully conquers Armageddon, recaptures his home planet, and sits on the throne of Khan will become the supreme green-skinned Khan, with the ultimate authority to command all greenskins in the galaxy.

Gray Wind put a towel on his forehead and thought, "The Solar Region is the core of the human empire. They should be able to defend it, right?"

Next, she did not continue to observe the movements of the greenskins, but moved her view back to the Far East star region and looked at the garrison situation of the Coroniai swarm in the southern star belt.

The swarm's signal was marked as rust red by Grey Wind, evenly covering the entire star belt in the southern part of the Nightmare Void. This showed that Coronia's garrison work was done quite diligently. Biological outposts and mobile hive fleets were deployed in each major galaxy to guard against the orcs and Necrons in the southwest.

Just as Gray Wind was about to turn off the star map with satisfaction and continue installing the sentinel array, suddenly, a striking red dot caught her attention.

It was a psychic signal with the same rust-red color as the one used by the Coroniai swarm, but the signal was not lit in the Far Eastern star field, but on the south side of the Damocles Gulf, in the southeastern corner of the entire galactic map.

"That place seems to be, 'Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar'?"

Gray Wind frowned slightly. Did Kronia secretly send a Hive Fleet to the Ultramarines' territory? What did it want to do?

She quickly zoomed in on the red dot in the Ultramar star field, and her thought process, which had just cooled down, began to run at full power again. She used the detection capability of the Sentinel antenna to accurately lock onto the signal remotely and render the real-time situation in the single star system.

Soon, an incredible picture appeared in front of Huifeng.

It was a colonized galaxy of the human empire, but there was no signal response from any human spacecraft or space station in the galaxy. There were only a large number of irregular metal fragments floating in the space, refracting electromagnetic waves.

Immediately afterwards, the Sentinel locked onto the eye-catching red psychic signal.

Then, Gray Wind saw a giant star beast cruising in the star system.

The surveillance footage hastily obtained with the incomplete sentinel antenna was not clear. Because Grey Wind was busy cooling itself and did not use all its computing power, the behemoth's turning movement had some frame drops, but it did not prevent Grey Wind from recognizing the appearance of the big guy.

An ether dragon? No, it just looks like one. This monster doesn't have the high-energy core of an ether dragon, so it shouldn't be able to spit out deadly tachyon breath. Other than that, there are many subtle differences in its body structure. It doesn't look like a dragon, but more like a bug in dragon skin."

Gray Wind was a little distressed, she couldn't figure it out.

The Ether Dragon is a Leviathan creature from her home universe. The relic obtained after killing the Ether Dragon is the dragon's head.

"If we feed the 'Head of the Ether Dragon' to the Zerg and let Coroniai analyze the genetic sequence in it, it is indeed possible that it will successfully create a giant life form similar to the Ether Dragon." Gray Wind frowned.

But the problem is that Russell does not have the head of the Ether Dragon. The former Human Federation failed to kill the Ether Dragon and obtain its relics. This unfortunate guy was killed by the crazy "Military Isolator".

Could it be that Coroniai accidentally picked up the head of the Ether Dragon while deploying defenses in the southern star belt, and then secretly produced this giant insect covered in dragon skin, and sent it to the Ultramar star field?

…That’s bullshit.

However, the psychic signals of the Ether Giant Worm were so similar to those of the Coroniai swarm that even the sentinel antenna operated by Grey Wind could not tell the difference between the two.

Maybe it was because his brain was overheated and overloaded and hadn't cooled down yet, Gray Wind thought about it over and over again but still couldn't figure it out, and his head hurt a little. Finally, he had to give up thinking and drove the Gray Gu mothership out of the miniature galaxy to ask for help from the Pot of Greed far away in the Eye of Terror.

At this time, Russell was sailing along the outline of the Eye of Terror, on his way to the Cadia sector.

"If you want to enter Commorragh, you must go through the webway. There should be an entrance to the Eldar webway in the Cadia sector, but the problem is how to find it."

Russell was half-lying lazily on the soft chair, while Sisters Rivagaren and Rivatien were massaging his shoulders and calves respectively.

"After the killing of the Phoenix School members on Klentalina, the Dark Eldar should have been wary of me. It won't be easy to get the coordinates of the Webway entrance from them..."

"The whereabouts of the Ark Eldar are too unpredictable. We can't catch them in a short time. We can't rely on them."

The sisters' increasingly skilled techniques could only help relax his body, but the difficult situation could not be solved by hand.

"Do we have to use the old method again..." Russell was a little distressed.

At this moment, a message suddenly came from a communication channel that had been silent for a long time. Bored, Russell immediately stood up to check. The sender was Gray Wind, and the content was very brief:

[When I was debugging the sentinel array, I detected a psychic signal that was suspected to be from a swarm of insects. After a closer look, I found that the source of the signal was a giant insect nest creature that was highly similar to the 'Ether Dragon', but the specific information was unknown, so I temporarily named it the 'Ether Giant Worm'. ]

[The signal of the Aether Worm is located in the Ultramar Sector of the Ultramar Sector, in a star system called Parmenio. It is reported that the Ultramarines are dispatching a fleet to rescue Parmenio.]

[Um, um... Coronie said that he had no idea where this thing came from. Marshal, what about you? Do you know what this giant ether worm is? ]

After reading the content of the message, Russell stood there in a daze.

"What the hell... giant ether worm?"

Chapter 267 Behemoth

"What is the Ether Giant Worm?"

"A big bug?"

Rivagaren and Rivatien cast curious eyes towards the receiving interface in front of Russell, with their hands on their knees and slightly bent over, looking very curious.

If Coronie saw her daughters being disrespectful in front of their master, the sisters would probably be beaten by their mother. Although the main reason for this situation is that Russell's personality and conversation are too gentle, which is completely inconsistent with the iron-fisted personality he established for the Star Bullet, anyone who gets to know him for a long time will find it difficult to be in awe of him.

Grey Wind is more like a marshal than Russell.

"Yes, a big bug..."

As the two looked on curiously, Russell opened the video attachment that came with the message.

The hastily rendered blurry image had a low resolution and some frame drops, but the truly important information was fully preserved, which did not prevent Russell from recognizing at a glance the giant star beast entrenched next to Parmenio's orbit.

Layers of flexible scales, translucent fins covering the body, dozens of eyes flashing with deep purple light...all these features are exactly the same as the 'Ether Dragon' in Russell's impression.

The only difference is the scene when the giant insect opens its mouth.

When the Ether Dragon opens its mouth and exhales, one can directly observe the dazzling light accumulated deep in the dragon's throat from the front, and see the high-energy core in its body filled with destructive energy. This core is the heart of the Ether Dragon, which is enough to support it in spitting out deadly tachyon turbulence that can destroy everything.

When the giant ether worm opened its mouth, it was pitch black inside. A surging scarlet fog emerged from its mouth. Russell zoomed in and saw that it was countless small swarms of plankton, densely packed together like a thick fog, completely submerging Parmenio. Large-scale swarms of biological ships could also be seen among them.

The physique and body structure of the Ether Dragon, the movement and attack methods of the Tyranids, and the unique characteristics that bring about the shadow of the Warp.

Grey Wind's codename for this monster is very apt: the Aetherworm, a Tyranid unit disguised as a dragon in a dragon skin.

"It's impossible. This shouldn't be possible. This is ridiculous... This is unscientific. How can this be possible..."
