After Russell left, the Imperial Army lost this advantage. The Eldar's Riddler charlatans made it difficult for them to launch perfect annihilation operations like the Drovin ambush. Many times they had to fight head-on with the prepared Eldar troops, and losses were inevitable.
However, the Imperial Army's disadvantages would soon be compensated by other means.
In the Xihe system, Gray Wind assembled the components of the L-Gate with great efficiency. After all, this is its job. The gate builders created nanorobots just to build the L-Gate network.
After pumping in energy, this new sub-gate located in the Lost Dream Nebula was successfully connected to the terminal exit located in the Faya Galaxy.
As the space-time distortion in the center of the force field generator was gradually stabilized into a perfect sphere, accompanied by the flickering of the curvature, a huge main battleship carrying the Cathedral of Glory slowly emerged from "behind the door".
The main ship "Fire of Repentance".
The Flame of Repentance Regiment suffered too heavy a loss in the successive battles, and their organization was collapsed, so they needed time to recuperate.
But even though the Chapter itself was unable to continue the war, they still contributed the Chapter flagship that had just been repaired with the help of the Order of Truth, and led the battle fleet requisitioned from the Espiones Sector to the Lost Dream Nebula to provide support.
Deployed on the battleship Flames of Penance at this time was a joint action force consisting of a large company sent by the founding chapter of the Space Wolves and the "Crimson Upstarts" chapter of the Blood Angels.
They were originally fighting hard with the Orks in the war zones around Espionage, but thanks to the opening of the first phase of the L-gate network and with the timely arrival of support forces, the Astartes quickly pacified the severe situation in their respective war zones.
In gratitude, both the Space Wolves and the Crimson Upstarts lent a hand to the war effort against Eusbornes.
They had many questions about the high-speed routes provided by the L-Stargate, but neither the seemingly barbaric Space Wolves nor the Crimson Upstarts who inherited the blood of angels would be so tactless as to raise such questions during the war. There are priorities.
There has never been such a timely assembly, and never been such an efficient dispatch. With the main ship Fire of Repentance as the vanguard, the mighty army of the Human Empire sailed out of the star gate and headed for deep space.
The Eldar War in the Lost Dreams Nebula has thus entered its next phase.
The fleet sailing out of the star gate seemed endless. Russell and Grey Wind waited in the Xihe system for a full eight Terra moons before they finally got a brief gap for passage, passing through the L-star gate and returning to Faya.
Faya is the transit station of the entire L-Stargate network, and it is just a transit station. Russell did not stay here for long, but immediately rushed to the critical base.
At this time, the critical base galaxy began to show for the first time the function of an industrial base that Russell had planned for it.
The nanoplanets in the inner ring of the galaxy are running at full speed. Planet-scale nanorobot clusters are constantly devouring large amounts of raw materials and resources mobilized from all over the star region, processing them into scarce war materials and advanced weapons of destruction, providing the most powerful logistics for the war in the Lost Dream Nebula.
On the incubation planet protected by the planetary shield, huge Zerg individuals as big as mountains are breaking out of their cocoons. They are all components of the biological mothership and will gather in orbit when all conditions are met.
The Zerg biological mothership is a very special life form. While the mothership itself is a huge living whole, every organ in its body, such as blood vessels, heart, lymph nodes... and so on, can each exist independently as a complete Zerg individual.
If humans are multicellular organisms, then the Zerg Hive Bio-Mothership is a "multi-organism".
There was a busy scene in the critical base.
Fleets controlled by the Order of Truth constantly travel back and forth in and out of the star gate, transporting endless amounts of resources from all over the empire to this interstellar industrial base operating at full speed.
Russell had thought that his high request would cause a quarrel between the Guild of Commerce and the Espenes Star District Government, but unexpectedly, after hearing his request, the other party showed a look of relief.
"You finally need something from us..."
That's roughly what they said.
Perhaps for the various forces in Español, the Star-Shooters who provide assistance to the empire without any desire or reward are the most terrifying and strange.
The resources that Russell thought were astronomical were actually not a burden to them. They might not even be as much as the Empire lost in the warp navigation every year...
After understanding this, Russell was no longer bound. With the support of massive resources, he returned here and decided to personally add fuel to the fire at the bustling Critical Base.
"Grey Wind, I need to activate the next relic."
Chapter 91 Supervisor
After obtaining Russell's authorization, Grey Wind unlocked the most tightly sealed isolation area located in the power core area of the Grey Goo mothership.
It was so tight that Gray Wind didn't leave any entrance or exit to this core compartment. It was not until today when Russell asked to activate the things inside that it temporarily reconstructed a pipeline leading to the quarantine area. The reason why it was given such attention was naturally because the things inside were powerful and dangerous enough to be worth Gray Wind's full vigilance.
When Russell entered the isolation area, what appeared before him was a metal sphere several meters high. The many cables connected to it had been disconnected, and the dense lines on the surface were dull and lifeless. It looked inexplicably desolate, like a head with long hair loose.
This is the last independent host found from the wreckage of the last mechanical planet after the Human Federation defeated the final crisis "The Purification Protocol".
Relic: an independent and righteous core.
The Suzheng Host possesses extremely powerful computing power and coordination capabilities. If this power is used properly, it can provide an extremely terrifying bonus to the assembly efficiency of the mechanical population and the construction speed of giant structural projects. If this bonus is quantified, a huge project that originally took a hundred years can be completed in just over thirty years under the guidance of the Suzheng Protocol.
But extreme power is also accompanied by extreme danger. The Suzheng host contains a super virus code that is incomparable in aggressiveness and infectiousness. If such a dangerous existence is not properly controlled or there is the slightest negligence, allowing the virus code to leak... then what will follow will be a galactic-scale doomsday crisis.
Therefore, before launching the rectification core, sufficient insurance measures need to be prepared.
Several metal tentacles made of nanorobots grew out from the floor, jointly holding up a hard and dense sphere, above which flowed a beautiful starry sky like a dream.
Russell took the Wataum Reality Periscope handed to him by Gray Wind's tentacles and held it in his hands. Then he took a step forward and looked up at the rectification host in front of him.
"Now that we have the logistical support of Espenes and its surrounding star regions, plus the resources we have discovered and stockpiled in the surrounding star systems over the years, I think I can start the construction of the first giant structure."
As he spoke, tiny red lights lit up on the spherical body of the rectification host in front of him.
The core is reviving, and the flashing red light is becoming more and more dense and regular, until it turns into a series of continuously flowing red codes, which is dazzling.
"Which megastructure project would you like to undertake?" Gray Wind asked.
"Measure the slingshot," Russell said.
"A wise choice, Marshal."
As soon as the name came out, Gray Wind understood his intention: "There is no hyperspace channel in this universe. The jump engines of ships other than mine also have a long cooling time. The only stable way of superluminal travel that can be relied on is the L-Star Gate that has not yet been deployed... This is indeed a lot of constraints."
The quantum slingshot is a giant structure that can only be built on a neutron star or pulsar. It imprisons the star to extract huge energy, thereby "catapulting" the ship to a great distance of astronomical units.
The delivery capability of this facility may not be accurate enough, but the range is long enough. Whether it is used as a springboard for deploying troops to surprise the enemy fleet, or for launching engineering ships to lay L-star gates in various parts of the distant galaxy, the slingshot is very practical.
only……
"Building a giant structure requires a huge amount of resources and a long time. If you intend to use the slingshot in the war with the Eldar, you may not be able to make it in time, right?"
"So, this is why I want to activate the Rectification Core." Russell touched the mechanical tentacles that had not yet retracted into the floor with his right hand that was not holding the Wataum Reality Periscope, and then said:
"Next, I will hand over the control of the nano planet to the Suzheng Host, and use its power to manage and control all the nano robots that were originally controlled by me, so as to complete the construction of the quantum slingshot as quickly as possible."
The engineering work performed by nanorobots is already precise and efficient, and coupled with the powerful computing power of the Suzheng host for overall management and precise control... the time required to complete the slingshot, a massive celestial-level project, will be shortened to an incredible degree.
But behind this amazing efficiency, there are huge risks. Gray Wind, who evolved from Gray Gu Storm, has a deep understanding of such risks.
"Will you reconsider it, Marshal? Letting the Rectification Host control the nano planet is not a good decision in my opinion. Although the highest administrator authority of those nano robots belongs to you, even if the virus code of the Rectification Host is powerful, it cannot infect the nano robots without self-awareness, but..."
For the first time since arriving in this universe, Gray Wind's tone was hurried and flustered:
"Even if the risk of losing control is very small, so small that it is almost zero, it is only almost zero. As long as it is not zero, the risk still exists. We cannot afford to lose control of the rectification host that controls the nano planet, Marshal..."
There was a hint of fear in Gray Wind's voice.
Unlike his usual disguised playfulness and tsundere, this time Russell could clearly sense the irrepressible worry and confusion emanating from Gray Wind's words. All kinds of emotions mixed together, as if a helpless girl tightly hugged his arms, begging him with tears in her eyes not to do that.
“I have a sense of adventure, but not much.”
Russell gently stroked Gray Wind's mechanical tentacles like petting a cat, and whispered to him, "I know the risks and possible devastating consequences of doing this, so I made corresponding preparations."
As he spoke, he slightly raised the Wataum Reality Periscope in his hand, and Grey Wind understood why he asked him to hand over this relic to him.
"The Votom Reality Periscope has the ability to modify reality. While the Rectification Host is controlling the nanoplanet and building the quantum slingshot, I will stay at the Critical Base and not go anywhere."
"If the infection really occurs and my highest administrator authority is usurped, I will immediately use the pore machine to forcibly modify reality, take back the authority and order all nanorobots to self-destruct on the spot."
After all, no matter how powerful the virus code of the Rectification Protocol is, it still needs something to infect it.
At that time, Russell will use all means including psychic power and Zerg to attack the Rectification Protocol. Yes, he did not place Coroniai in a more habitable and fertile galaxy but placed it here, just to deal with moments like this.
Russell's thorough preparations somewhat stabilized Gray Wind's emotions. His voice became soft again, no longer filled with fear and worry: "Then, I will be here too. I want to accompany you to deal with any emergencies that may arise."
"That's great." Russell smiled.
Even with the nano planets and the rectification mainframes, the giant structure project is still a huge galactic project. If no one is around, the supervision time will be somewhat boring.
After Russell and Grey Wind finished their conversation, the Grey Goo mothership flew to the inner ring of the Critical Base galaxy.
The Suzheng host, which was under strict supervision, was connected to the nano planet under Huifeng's nervous gaze. Then, as the host began to calculate, countless nano robots left the surface of the planet and turned into a mechanical nano cloud that covered the sky.
Measure the slingshot and start building.
Chapter 92 Fading
Russell used all the resources he had and could mobilize to support this huge project.
However, not all the nanorobots on the entire nanoplanet are used to build the slingshot.
A considerable number of nanorobots are still faithfully carrying out the instructions previously issued by Russell, building the giant destructive weapons needed for his war in the orbit of the nano planet.
At the galaxy core of the Critical Base, the torsion lens that captures pulsar energy and the cage-like frame that imprisons stars are being built synchronously and in an orderly manner under the powerful computing power of the Suzheng host.
The cage-like structure in the center of the galaxy grew slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, like some kind of vine. As the project progressed, the torsion lenses used to capture electromagnetic pulses were installed one by one.
Russell could feel that the lively electromagnetic pulses that originally filled the entire Critical Base Galaxy were becoming increasingly thinner.
Stars are imprisoned, pulses are captured, and huge energies on an astronomical scale are held in your hands for your use.
This is the so-called "Miracle of the Galaxy".
Although, the slingshot does not belong to the category of the ascension of the galaxy miracle...
The Coronis, who were building a biological mothership for Russell on the incubation planet, were particularly sensitive to the weakening of the electromagnetic pulse.
The fleet, controlled by the Order of Truth, frequently traveled back and forth between the star gate and the outside world to transport resources to the critical base. Although it had never gone deep into the interior of the galaxy, it had noticed the weakening and disappearance of the pulse signal from the outer periphery of the galaxy during its brief stops.
But this does not affect Russell's slacking off...picking up bugs.
The days of overseeing were relatively dull. Russell, who was extremely bored, had to take the Wataum reality perforator to the incubation planet to play with Coronia, which frightened it.
Apart from listening to the news collected by the Order of Truth through various channels every day about the changes in the political struggles among various forces in the empire in Faia, as well as the battle situations in various places in the Lost Dream Nebula, he had nothing serious to do.
Russell learned from the Brothers of Truth that since his departure, the battle between the Empire and the Eldar in the Lost Dream Nebula had returned to the heroic narrative he was very familiar with.
When the Ark World ships dared not show up and their own troop size was at a disadvantage, although the individual combat power was very high, the endless army of the Empire was still able to overwhelm the Eldar and use their absolute troop advantage to keep them in a passive dilemma.
But in fact, the Eldar have no lack of experience in using small forces to defeat large ones and using fewer forces to win over larger ones.
Eldar prophets are good at observing the threads of fate and can predict the future. Eldar troops are always able to appear in unpredictable places of the enemy through ethereal and treacherous actions like ghosts, launch surprise attacks on their lifeblood, and achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.
But these two advantages are not considered too great in the Lost Dream Nebula.
In this war in the Lost Dream Nebula, the Imperial Navy demonstrated an assembly efficiency and support speed that was simply incredible for humans. They quickly spread their forces to every star system within the radiation range of the L-Gate, blocking all exploration and investigation of the Lost Dream Star Cluster by the Eldar from every direction.
The Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth battlecruisers, operated by the Brothers of Truth, can ignore the fog of war after their jump engines have cooled down, and can carry a large amount of support forces to jump to the most urgent galaxies in time to provide the strongest support.
Battlefield information is unimpeded, tactical deployment is fast and accurate, logistics support is sufficient and stable, and support troops are available at any time...
Neither the Wolf Lord of the Space Wolves nor the Chapter Master of the Crimson Upstarts had ever fought such a war in their long service careers measured in hundreds of years.
