Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

The first thing Russell did after recruiting this group of supporters of Imperial Truth was to lock them up here to study psychic theory.

Even the localization of the technology of the Zero Storm Projector was completed by this group of truth believers after more than ten years of study and research, and ultimately in cooperation with Grey Wind.

This process gave them a great shock.

It's not a bad thing to believe in science, but in this universe, the gods of the warp and psionic powers do exist.

Covering one's ears in the name of rationality and refusing to acknowledge an objective fact, isn't this a kind of superstition of rationality?

Chapter 73: The Order of Truth

The thought that Russell tried to follow is called "dialectical materialism". First is dialectic, then materialism.

This theory has many similarities with the Imperial Truth, such as both seek rationality and focus on practicality, but the difference is that Russell hopes that humans can examine the existence of mysticism and psychic power with a more objective attitude, rather than denying it outright.

Acknowledge the mystery, understand the mystery, and master the mystery.

This passionate slogan is easy to say, but difficult to practice.Because the subspace gods are not very reasonable, many times just knowing the existence of chaos will attract their attention, bringing disaster and corruption.

This kind of conceptual pollution, which is dirty if touched and rotten if touched, is impossible for ordinary people to understand. But Russell forced them to have this possibility.

In short, he left the main part of the Zelo Soul Stone in this underground city, which was completely controlled by Russell's psychic siphon effect and provided Faya with a clean environment that would not be contaminated by Chaos. Many dangerous arguments that could not be proven due to the attention of the Chaos Gods could also be carried out here. The Empire once again gained the qualification to study the warp in Faya.

The humans in this universe have many shortcomings. They may be foolish, corrupt, ignorant, arrogant... but they are definitely not stupid.

Their footprints were all over the starry sky, and their advanced technology made the proud Ancient Elf Empire helpless, and they were even just one step away from ascending. Human wisdom has never lagged behind any race, but the will of the evil god distorted reality, making any attempt to move forward turn into a step towards the abyss.

Russell did not use his own power to force humanity to move forward. All he did was build a narrow wooden bridge over the abyss.

And the first group of people to walk across this bridge can call themselves the "Order of Truth".

"Based on the existing psionic theory, and some inspiration from the construction of Zelo's storm projector, we have initially completed the improvement of the 'spiritual shield'."

In the underground city, the scientific research director walked forward and reported to Russell their research results in recent years:

"The improved psychic shield has been strengthened by the amplification array. It has stronger performance and no longer needs to be equipped with living psychics to power its spells. Psionic dust will be a more stable and durable energy source."

There was a hint of pride in the research director's voice.

Previously, the transformation of the Zero Storm Projector had always been Gray Wind's main research focus. He and his researchers could only do some minor auxiliary work and familiarize themselves with the work while helping out.

This time, the localization and improvement of the "Psionic Shield" technology from the Stars technology tree was truly completed independently by the Order of Truth, and passed the acceptance of Grey Wind and was confirmed to be reliable.

Of course, using psychic dust as energy is more or less suspected of old grudges...

"This achievement has far exceeded my expectations." Russell praised the research results of the Truth Order without hesitation, and then said: "I have two new ships under construction, which will be put into use soon. When the new ships leave the port, you will see that they are equipped with the psychic shield system optimized and improved by the Truth Order."

"This, this... what an honor! It's really..." The scientific research director was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. For people like them, nothing can better express the affirmation of their abilities than the practical application of research results.

"I am glad to see the successful completion of the psychic shield optimization project. However, I have another task for you."

Russell looked at the deep eyes of the scientific research director with dark circles under them and said, "This new project requires a lot of extremely precious special humans. I need some of you to accompany me to leave Faya and go to España for business. I will need about 200 people. Those with quick minds will be given priority. You can choose the candidates."

"I will arrange it immediately and will not disappoint you." The research director bowed his head slightly.

No matter who he chooses, he will not make this trip himself. The optimization and improvement of the psychic shield is the most important project on hand for the Order of Truth during this period. Now that the research results have been delivered, the researchers who are seriously lacking in sleep can finally get some rest.

"By the way, besides those who left with me, I have other tasks that need to be delivered to those who stay behind in the dungeon."

While the research director was planning his break, Russell suddenly added, "I'll have Gray Wind send you the relevant information in the form of digital files. They are all systematic and mature technologies. It won't be difficult to analyze them. It just takes time."

The research director was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He just nodded deeply.

"I see……"

Russell didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the dark circles under the scientific research director’s eyes seemed to be darker.

After assigning the tasks, Russell and Grey Wind left the dungeon of the Order of Truth on the southern continent.

As the governor of Falla, even if it was a nominal governor, Russell still had a lot of trivial matters to deal with.

Mirak's transformation of Faya's military system is still in full swing, and children with outstanding qualifications are constantly being selected to become candidate recruits for the Fire of Repentance Regiment.

In space, various infrastructure construction works are still going on. Since the civil strife started by the Sons of Change, the nerves of the system defense forces stationed in Faya are highly tense. The Adeptus Mechanicus even reluctantly shelved the construction plan for the urban planet and concentrated all its efforts on the construction of the Seeker star base. The restoration work of the Emperor's Guide Statue is also in full swing.

As the entire Faya was completely transformed by Bao, for the Imperial Guard soldiers stationed here, this beautiful planet Gaia became a paradise in their minds. Its importance was even comparable to their hometown that was destroyed in the war.

This remote galaxy that originally had no sense of existence was filled with a busy atmosphere and time flew by.

In the 39nd year of the 802th millennium, this historic moment was recorded by the historians as large transport ships loaded with cargo emerged from the distorted space and time.

The L-gate is open.

And three sub-gates were opened to navigation at one time.

In addition to the core star system Nirvana where the throne of the prophetess is located, there are also the most important ones in the Espenes star zone: the mineral star system "Ask"; the hinterland star system "Aurora";

They have all successfully connected the stargate to the network.

The three star systems were physically far apart, but now, with the opening of the L-Gate, with the Faya star system as the hub, these three vital star systems are truly closely connected.

The originally difficult cargo transportation has become convenient and efficient. The reduced waste of resources and time cannot be measured in numbers. The mobilization of military forces will also gain unparalleled mobility.

As a hub, Faya can obtain massive resources from the entire Eusbaines star region to support its own grand infrastructure that is like a bottomless pit.

Chapter 74 Senate

Not all ships that sail out of the L-gate flock to Faya. Most of them only use the main gate as a transit point, carrying a large number of combat personnel and war materials, rushing to other galaxies in a hurry.

There is no peace in the galaxy, and war is also burning in the Espiones sector.

The green tide in the starry sky is still spreading. Although the orc warlord who was the leader has been beheaded by the Star-Ballist, and the battle moon has become a consumable material for the Mechanicus to build the ideal city, the threat level of the fragmented greenskin empire has suddenly decreased, but it is still a huge threat that cannot be ignored.

In the name of the Lord of Mankind, the Emperor's loyal servants launched one sacred crusade after another in the starry sky, vowing to rescue the human colonies that were being ravaged by the aliens.

At this time, the opening of the L-Gate undoubtedly provided great help to the battle situation in the Espiones sector. Even though there were only three star systems connected to the stargate network, it was enough to allow the Imperial Army's material replenishment and troop deployment speed to achieve a qualitative leap, alleviating the tense situation in multiple war zones.

On the first day of operation, the L-Gate demonstrated its immeasurable value to the human empire.

Huge value means huge benefits. As a large number of ships poured into Falla, the situation in Falla also ushered in a new round of changes.

The Guild of Commerce, the Mechanicus, the nobility, and local forces from Nirvana, Ask, Aurora and other places are mixed together. It may take hundreds of years for the open and secret struggles among them to establish a new stable pattern in Faya.

Russell had no interest in these brain-burning political struggles, which was why he delegated power to the Space Marines and let the Astartes manage the Falla.

After some tug-of-war among the various forces, they finally compromised and established a parliamentary system called the "Faya Senate" in Falla.

With Russell's intervention, the Falla Senate basically determined several principles at its first meeting:

1. Imperial military mobilization enjoys priority right of way in Fallas. In case of emergency, both merchant fleets and civilian ships need to give way to the military fleet.

2. The scientific research vessels of the Astartes Chapter and the Adeptus Mechanicus enjoy tax-free privileges when passing through the L-Gate as a benefit for providing military protection and technical assistance to the Falla.

3% of the tolls for the Star Gate are personally controlled by Governor Falla, and the rest will be used for various infrastructure projects in Falla and the so-called budget provided to the Mechanicus.

After the general framework was finalized, there were still many details that needed to be determined, and many people were still arguing over some seemingly insignificant issues. Russell no longer participated, but the Falla Senate still reserved a seat for him permanently.

The L-Gate has never been closed since it was opened to navigation. Countless fleets travel back and forth between the three major star systems, causing the Mechanicus that manages the gate to be extremely anxious.

Among the countless merchant fleets that were like a school of fish, two particularly conspicuous warships also sailed out of the star gate and docked in the orbit of Faya.

Unlike other ships, these two ships did not pay tolls when passing through the L-Gate because they were private ships of Governor Falla, who had tax-free privileges.

The battlecruiser HMS Paradise.

The battlecruiser "Oracle of Truth".

These two blasphemous warships that once belonged to Chaos were purified by Russell and rebuilt from the keel up, and now have a new life.

Some imperial features can still be seen on the ships constructed by nanorobots. For example, the adamantine rams at the bow and stern still retain the carvings of wings and eagle heads, which are directly engraved on the adamantine keel.

The rest of the ship was in a style that Russell was more familiar with. The alloy-cast hull did not have any additional buildings such as churches. The overall curves were slender and elegant. The zero-element armor installed on it glowed silver-white under the light of the stars, like two beautiful silver-white fish.

The elves would probably like it when they see it.

The dark matter deflector shields covering the hulls were kept activated at all times, as they did not yet have the energy required to activate the psionic shields, but would soon have it.

Afterwards, Russell took 200 members of the Order of Truth selected by the head of scientific research and flew out of the atmosphere and approached the two newly-departed warships.

For the human empire that rejects artificial intelligence, operating large warships of this level requires thousands of sailors and skilled workers. However, this is not the case with these two warships. The psionic theory used in the construction of the ships and the powerful computing power equipped by Grey Wind make the Ark of Bliss and Oracle of Truth highly resistant to both Chaos Corruption and the Waste Code Virus.

Although it is still not completely immune.

The Iron Men of the Dark Age of Technology actually possessed very good resistance to the Warp, and the Stone Men were even more hated by the demons, but this did not affect the end of the Golden Age.

On the two battlecruisers, a large amount of meaningless and complicated maintenance work was handled by automatic machines. Only the most basic crew members were required to board the ship to sail normally and even engage in naval gun battles.

Of course, the most important thing is that Russell really doesn’t have many people he can use.

The Oracle of Truth was commanded by a high-ranking "Calculator" from the Order of Truth, while Russell boarded the Ark of Elysium with a humanoid construct of Grey Wind.

After boarding the ship, Russell did not start the engine and set off immediately. He was waiting for someone, the Inquisitor from Terra, Bernatita, who was going to travel with them this time.

"Why do we have to bring that Inquisitor? I remember she once spied on you..." Grey Wind spread his hands, sitting on the large computer in the center of the battleship's control room, somewhat puzzled.

"Bernatita served in the Espenes sector as an inquisitor for many years and has a wide network of contacts and information. The right to recruit soldiers in the sector that I originally requested was largely expanded to cover almost the entire Far East Frontier due to her lobbying."

Russell sat in a semi-enclosed seat, looking up at Huifeng's two feet swaying left and right, which made him a little dizzy, so he turned away and continued, "A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. With her as a guide, our trip will be much smoother."

Gray Wind blinked and nodded: "I see...ah, she's here."

The hangar door on the side of the Ark of Bliss opened, welcoming in a modified high-speed fighter.

To show her sincerity, Bernatita came alone without any followers. She was still wearing a full set of "Ranger" power armor, but without a helmet. Her weapons and equipment were also locked in the cockpit.

For Bernatita, who had participated in previous battles with the Chaos Fleet, this completely unfamiliar warship always gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

This made her show a considerable degree of curiosity about this elegant and peculiar ship, but it was soon suppressed by her excellent manners.

Under the guidance of the Order of Truth, Bernadette passed through the hull and entered the control room where Russell and Grey Wind were.

Chapter 75 Prisoner

When you walk into the control room, the first thing that catches your eye is the column-shaped computer located in the center of the hall.

There were several semi-enclosed cockpits arranged in front of the computer, and in the middle one sat a person who was very familiar to Bernadette.

His aura was infinitely close to nothingness, and there was not even the slightest soul fluctuation around his body. It seemed as if there was nothing under his old black robe, and only illusory mist was slowly flowing in his hood.

That's the Star-Bomb.

Next to the Star-shooter sat a well-dressed young man. He was so handsome that even Bernatita, as a woman, felt a little guilty. His short gray hair was well-groomed, and his every move gave people a feeling of calmness and elegance. One glance would tell that he came from a well-educated aristocratic family.
