Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Such an excellent ship template was designed in just half a year, and it was specially equipped with the "Swordfish" type combat frigate as the escort force. The theoretical level of the theorists led by the scientific research director is worthy of recognition, except that the density of the ideas is a little thin.

But there is a small problem here:

In Russell's plan, the missionaries of the Truth Society should form a team of three and drive a Sailfish research vessel to carry out missions. And each Sailfish research vessel needs to be equipped with at least three Swordfish combat frigates as the most basic escort force.

In addition to several hundred theoretical monks headed by the scientific research director, there are more than 1200 people who choose to ascend into cybernetic bodies and become missionaries. This means that at least Sailfish research vessels and Swordfish frigates must be built to meet the needs of implementing the Russell Plan.

For the Star-shooters, who had just completed the huge project of building a slingshot and had almost exhausted all their resources, it was indeed a considerable burden. Moreover, the ship they built had to be registered with the Ministry of Justice to be considered a legal ship. An illegal person who entered someone else's house without permission could easily be shot and blown up.

But the good news is that he doesn't have to bear all of this himself.

There was no need to think too much about this kind of thing. Russell forcibly pulled the research supervisor, who had just finished his project and was about to return to the research base to continue staying at home, and hurried out the door.

The head of scientific research followed the leader onto a transport ship, confused, and even more confused: "We are leaving Faya?"

"That's right." Russell nodded and said, "Building space battleships on a large scale in units of thousands is not a small project. So we have to go to Embra to talk to the Mechanicus. As long as the reward is high enough, I believe the technical priests will be happy to take on this project."

The research director thought for a moment and did not object.

Although he has been staying at the research base to work on theories, his news is not slow.

As far as the scientific research director knows, a group of technical priests and grassroots technicians led by the technical sage "Spangler" have long been at odds with the ideas of the faction of the great sage Coaster, and have always intended to break away from the Musbell Forge World controlled by the great sage and set up their own.

After the initial construction of Embra was completed, using this ideal city that had just completed the first phase of construction as a foothold, the technical sage Spangler finally officially announced independence from Musbell and established his own organization in Faya.

But since independence, the situation of the Embra Mechanicus has not been good.

The Great Sage Coster was furious at their independence and monopoly of the urban planet, but due to the power of the Star-Bullets and the Faya Senate, he was unable to take any direct violent action against the Embra Mechanicus led by Spangler.

The exasperated Great Sage could only suppress Spangler's faction from all sides by blocking the supply of resources and constantly releasing statements such as "Musbell will refuse to provide ship maintenance and arms supply to the navy and caravans that have close relations with Embra", trying to make them turn back to the right path and return to Musbell's system.

Coster's methods are indeed effective, and the Mechanicus still has some influence in the human empire.

Over the years, Russell had witnessed with his own eyes that as the supply of resources was cut off, the wandering merchants who came to Faya to do business no longer dared to go to Embra to conduct business. The planetary transformation project of this urban planet, which had just completed the second phase of construction, had gradually stagnated, and the ideal city project had difficulty moving forward.

In such a situation, facing the large order brought by the Star-Ballist, how could Embra's Mechanicus refuse even the most demanding conditions?

Russell is indeed short of resources now, but he is not short of money.

The transport ship carried Russell and the scientific research director across the inner ring of the Faya system and arrived above Embra. The trajectory of the flight passed the space elevator that had been stopped due to lack of funds before it was completed. When you look up, you can still see the idle orbital dock and satellite base.

These facilities are still in their infancy. If the original project plan is carried out, as long as there are sufficient resources, Spangler will be able to connect the completed space elevator with the orbital dock and build a star ring base that is even more advanced and complete than Musbell's star ring.

However, his plan was terminated as his funding chain was cut off.

Looking at the prototype of the Star Ring Base that was halted just after its construction, Russell seemed to see the unfinished buildings in his hometown that could not be delivered because the developer ran aground.

While Russell was daydreaming, the transport ship landed smoothly on the tallest tower on the surface of the urban planet, and the technical sage Spangler was inside.

There should be at least six such towers on a fully built urban planet, but only one has been built so far, and the construction of the second one has been stopped while it is still a semi-finished product.

Under the guidance of two technicians, Russell and the scientific research director quickly found the technical sage who was now somewhat frustrated.

Facing this old acquaintance, Russell did not tease him about his urban planet transformation project that was about to be unfinished. Instead, he went straight to the point and stated his needs for cooperation. He also showed him the design drawings of the Sailfish-type research vessel and the Swordfish-type frigate.

Sure enough, the moment he saw the drawings, the decadent aura that permeated Spangler was instantly swept away.

The Tech Sage quickly climbed up with his mechanical body twisted and ferocious like a centipede. Several mechanical arms each picked up a blueprint and browsed through the ship sketches brought by Russell with great efficiency. Then, he took a long breath and said:

"What a unique ship... I understand your request. I can undertake the construction of both types of ships. However, this blueprint is not detailed enough. Many parts of the structure are missing, such as the crucial engine, main control computer, detectors and sensors, and main weapons..."

Spangler's prosthetic eye looked at Russell, and the meaning was self-evident.

"We will take care of those ourselves." Russell pretended not to understand what he meant. "You just need to carry out the project according to the existing parts on the drawings. I will arrange for people to deliver the missing parts later. You just need to assemble them. It can also reduce the workload, right?"

That's right." Technosage Spangler said, looking down.

He already understood what Russell meant. The shipbuilding orders he had undertaken were only responsible for producing the hulls with the lowest technological content and some other basic frameworks, as well as providing legal registration for these ships.

Russell didn't want to give him any STC that actually involved precious core components.

In the past, the Techno-Sage would have said that he would never give up the opportunity to obtain the precious STC, and would have tried to get some precious technological relics from the Star-Ballist's subordinates even if he had to throw a tantrum. But now he was not qualified to bargain.

Because the price Russell offered was too high...

Since the L-Stargate was opened, countless ships have been passing through the terminal exit every day, and 3% of the tolls paid by each ship when it transited through Faya fell into the personal control of the Governor of Faya. Even if he spent a lot of money on buying food for Coronie, the wealth that Russell could control now was still an astronomical figure.

The Technical Sage felt extremely humiliated when faced with the seemingly insulting Throne Coin thrown in the face by the customer.

Then he endured it.

With the signing of the contract, a large amount of funds quickly flowed into the hands of the Embra Mechanicus, and this somewhat dormant urban planet began to operate again. The idle orbital dock was put into use, the new dock began to be expanded, and the suspended space elevator project was restarted due to the need to transport supplies.

With Russell's absolute financial support, a new round of ideal city construction began.

The scientific research director who was dragged by Russell to learn how to negotiate business did not learn any business skills at all, but only learned how to spend money, and then returned to the research base to stay at home. The integrated prosthetic transformation of the practical preachers is also progressing steadily.

Having arranged everything, Russell left Faya and returned to his loyal critical base.

"Finally I can clean up the spoils."

After the Gray Goo mothership docked above the hatching planet, Russell looked at the transport worms and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as he entered the Critical Base Galaxy, Coronie's soft and tender voice was transmitted into his mind through the soul connection. Russell shuddered all over and almost couldn't control himself.

"What's wrong with you, Marshal?"

Russell quickly calmed down and said, "Nothing. Coronie was crying to me, saying that she was too exhausted from the heavy workload, and she was asking for credit and reward..."

"Really?" Gray Wind asked suspiciously.

"real……"

In a sense, Russell was telling the truth. The Eldar's Craft World was too large, and even though the Zerg had been working 996 hours a day, they had only managed to clean up the outer part of the Craft World's corpse.

Even so, the harvest was already rich. The biomass recovered from the Ark's collapsed ecosystem alone was enough to make Coronia burp.

Not to mention that there are a large number of Eldar weapons that are still intact, such as the Wraithbone Battle Armor, the special hot melt weapons of the Eldar Fire Dragon Warriors, the Wind Riders that mortals cannot control at all, the Falcon Jet Bike, various Eldar fighters, and even the Wraithbone Titan and the Nether Titan...

Although these alien weapons are not very convenient to use when fighting alongside the Human Empire, they provide the Order of Truth with excellent experimental samples for studying Eldar technology, so that they can design some more powerful and cooler weapons and vehicles.

——The previous Sailfish research vessel and Swordfish frigate were designed with reference to the flexibility and maneuverability of Eldar ships.

In addition to munitions, the first wave of Zerg clearing the battlefield focused on recovering a large number of Eldar books stored in the Ark World. By studying these precious documents, the theoretical school should be able to improve their understanding of psionic theory. However, they may need a few Eldar trained by the Coroniae to serve as translators.

All kinds of spoils from the Eldar were organized and classified in an orderly manner by Coronia. Russell just took a rough look at them and did not stay on the hatching planet any longer.

Because compared to the weapons, magic tools and books of the Eldar, the two special trophies obviously attracted more of Russell's attention, and they were also the main purpose of his coming here.

"Defense system warms up, entering alert status."

"Emergency Plan δ is ready to be activated; Isolation Protocol No. 13 is now in effect."

"Begin pumping energy and apply to awaken the 'anti-entropy' AI."

Chapter 107 Theory of the Ring

The Gray Goo mothership passed over the nano planet whose entire surface was submerged by the micro-mechanical wave, and entered the core of the inner ring galaxy. The slender and beautiful silver arc-like hull docked in the near orbit of the pulsar imprisoned by the quantum slingshot.

In addition to the Gray Gu mothership, there is also a relatively small space station that has anchored itself in the near orbit of the pulsar.

This small outpost was built by Russell using the remaining resources from the construction of the Slingshot. As the fourth disaster, he always felt that if he didn't shoot an outpost on a star, the galaxy would not be completely under his control.

Although this small outpost is a bit shabby compared to the Seekers star base, which has galaxy-level defensive firepower and the Skyfort-class base, its significance lies in its existence itself.

Gray Wind silently turned the main gun and aimed at the outpost not far away. Immediately, Russell left the Gray Gu mothership alone and boarded the outpost.

Previously, by searching the memories of several soul prophets and Eldar scholars, Russell had gained a preliminary understanding of some information about the human flagship that had caused the Eldar Empire to suffer heavy losses and that they had paid a huge price to narrowly sink. However, this information had become blurred after more than ten thousand years, so he could only know a rough outline.

The name of the vessel is unknown, the Eldar only know that it is controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence known as "Anti-Entropy".

However, this ship that caused the Eldar Empire to suffer a bitter battle at its peak was not dedicated to combat: it was actually a comprehensive aerospace carrier that integrated multiple functions such as a port, a dock, a space base, a trade transit station, etc. In terms of positioning, it should be similar to the Overlord that Russell knew, but its functions were broader.

The main weapon carried by the aerospace mothership, "The Principle of Rings", can purposefully create a controlled time reversal phenomenon under the control of the powerful artificial intelligence "Anti-Entropy", thereby directly restoring damaged equipment and injured ships.

Therefore, the Eldar fleet that was fighting against Anti-Entropy and the Helicarrier was exhausted by the endless human combat ships.

Russell had no idea how the Eldar Empire defeated the helicarrier that was equipped with the time weapon "The Principle of the Circle" and the Anti-Entropy AI. Perhaps he could try to ask it after summoning "Anti-Entropy"?

Russell took a deep breath and entered the central core of the Critical Base Outpost. The hatch opened and the donut-shaped instrument that looked like a particle accelerator came into view. A little lower, there was a fully transparent cube core with a side length of 3.14 meters.

Time Weapon: Theory of the Circle

Artificial Intelligence: Reversing Entropy

The Principle of the Ring was in a dormant state with no energy supply. As Russell entered, the hatch behind him closed. The internal system of the outpost ran steadily according to the automatic program set by Grey Wind earlier, pumping the vacuum zero-point energy that had been prepared long ago into the anti-entropy core.

After the fully transparent cube core was connected to energy, it immediately "woken up" visibly to the naked eye. Inside the cube, twinkling starlight flowed slowly.

The outpost didn't provide much energy for it, just the initial one. After the restart, the AI ​​core began to operate normally, extracting zero-point energy from the surrounding vacuum to maintain its own operation.

Then, Russell felt that an ancient consciousness spanning time awakened in front of him.

"Welcome to the Anti-Entropy System, human...? No, not really..."

"No human biosequence detected, access terminated."

Suddenly, the starlight flowing inside the cube went out, and the artificial intelligence core entered a dormant state again. It seemed that Anti-Entropy didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Russell tried to connect to the zero-point energy again and restart the AI ​​core, but the result was still the same:

"No human biosequence detected, access terminated."

After trying several more times, the result remained unchanged. This ancient artificial intelligence still did not think that Russell was a human being and rejected his access requests again and again.

Looking at the transparent cube core that was extinguished again, Russell smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying self-deprecatingly: "How can I hold back..."

How to say it, although it makes no sense, this result was still within his expectations.

Because the humans in this universe have experienced a brilliant and crazy technological dark age.

In that era, engineers and scientists among humans became the new gods. They unscrupulously carried out a series of scientific research without any ethical constraints. They created STC, the Iron Army, the Nano Plague, the Time Weapon... and a series of powerful technological creations that were enough to subvert the world.

In the field of biology, arrogant and conceited scientists have made bold genome modifications to humans, including themselves, and even made their own bodies and spirits become so bizarre that they can no longer be called human.

This crazy feast that lasted for a thousand years, coupled with the long era of conflict and the influence of the subspace, has polluted the concept of the existence of the "human" species itself.

How serious is this pollution?

When the Emperor unified Terra and Mars and led humanity on the Great Crusade to reclaim the galaxy, the Imperial citizens who called themselves humans were less than 40% genetically similar to the original Earthlings.

——The genetic similarity between gorillas and humans is 98%.

It can be said that even monkeys are more human-like than the Imperials.

Under this premise, Russell was mentally prepared for Anti-Entropy to refuse his visit. After all, Anti-Entropy was a strong artificial intelligence created by ancient humans, and "loyalty to humans" was written into its source code.
