Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

The second Death Scythe battleship was also shot down by the Oracle of Truth's guns.

The battle ended before the support that Bernatita called for Faya could set off from the starport.

After destroying the two Death Scythe battleships, they did not clean up the battlefield immediately. Instead, they carefully dispatched reconnaissance ships to scan and reconnaissance back and forth in and outside the galaxy several times before they relaxed their guard and began to salvage the wreckage of the ships caused by the previous battle.

The Ark of Elysium was repairing itself with the help of the nano-repair system and intelligent robot servants, while the Oracle of Truth headed ahead to the black pyramid group that appeared in the orbit of the carbonized crystal planet.

Both her intuition and vision told Bernadette that the manufacturing process of these buildings was very similar to that of the two Death Scythe warships, and they were basically in the same style.

What needs to be said is that since the appearance of the two Death Scythe warships, the group of black pyramids floating in the space stopped jumping between existence and non-existence with difficulty, and stabilized in the real universe as a real building.

There was no rush to enter the pyramid to explore. After roughly scanning it from a distance, Lystia came to a preliminary conclusion:

These pyramids are empty.

At least as far as the sensors could see, it was empty.

Lysitia turned on the FTL communication array and reported more information to Faya:

"Reporting the preliminary scan results, the black pyramid-shaped building complex itself should have existed for a long time, tens of thousands of years, but these ancient buildings have many new traces that are only a hundred years old. Some are caused by the operation of some mechanical devices, and some are traces of explosions and battles - these traces are the freshest."

"In a corner near the traces of the battle, there is a tall humanoid robot with a hole in the chest... No, that's a power armor."

"Correction, that's not a humanoid machine. We found the missing Flame of Repentance. It's the body of a Space Marine."

"I request to immediately start a preliminary survey of the pyramid group and to allocate more professionals to this place. We have heard weak energy fluctuations coming from inside the largest pyramid. The situation here is more complicated than we imagined..."

When this news reached Fallas, Russell was not there.

Now he is worrying about resources in the critical base.

"According to the original plan, I will first look for an uninhabited black hole galaxy, deploy the Zero Storm Projector there, and then use the resources we have accumulated over this time and all the resources that Espiones can mobilize to build a 'matter decompressor' on the black hole's event horizon."

"The matter decompressor can flip the black hole and extract resources from the singularity. Once this giant structure is built, I will have an endless supply of minerals and various resources. All subsequent plans will be based on this."

Russell sat in the central control room of the Critical Base Outpost, looking at the quantum slingshot at the core of the galaxy, feeling a little melancholy.

In order to absolutely wipe out the entire Ark Eldar of Fordlan who were attempting to occupy the miniature galaxy, he used the resource reserves that were supposed to be used to build the matter decompressor to build the quantum slingshot.

Although this facility did allow them to quickly deliver Zerg swarms to overwhelm the Arkworld ships, after counting the spoils, the large number of wraithbone artifacts and Eldar tomes on the Arkworld, as well as the powerful time weapons Theory of Circles and Anti-Entropy were indeed worth the huge consumption.

But the problem is that the resources that the Espenes sector can provide are limited, and the construction of the slingshot has already squandered the reserves of several mineral star systems over the years.

If it were not for the powerful transportation provided by the L-Stargate Network, which enabled efficient communication and trade between star systems and mutual support, such excessive demands would have caused the finances of Espionage to collapse long ago.

Not to mention that the technical sage Spangler is still scrambling for resources to build warships for Russell. Now even the progress of the star district government's plan to lay L-gates in various key star systems has been greatly affected.

For at least a hundred years, neither Espionage nor Falla would be able to come up with the resources necessary to build a second giant structure.

Without the original accumulation of building a matter decompressor, Russell's subsequent plan based on the infinite supply of resources from mining black holes could not be implemented.

"So this is why you asked me to modify the weapons of the Colossus?"

In the central control room, the indifferent synthetic voice of Anti-Entropy, which could not distinguish between male and female, asked calmly: "Replacing the 'De-Intelligence Beam' that can forcibly degenerate large intelligent biological clusters with the 'Earth-shattering Star' that can directly shatter the core of a star and detonate a planet, just for mining...?"

Even during humanity's most insane technological dark ages, this was rarely done, and it was almost never done right.

"exactly."

Russell smiled, and turned his gaze away from the quantum slingshot to the holographic projector on the other side, showing the ring-shaped colossus undergoing modification in the orbit of the nano planet:

"I no longer have the patience to wait for the human empire's miners to use chisels and hammers to dig out minerals from the ground bit by bit. We need a more efficient way to obtain resources - such as using colossi to directly smash celestial bodies and letting mechanical nanoclouds eat them up."

It's just mining, what's the big deal...

"Please be sure to take measures to conceal yourself during the process of star-shattering mining. The large action of shattering celestial bodies is more easily observed and detected by others." Anti-Entropy did not object to Russell's decision, but only made some suggestions, and then continued to control the nanorobots to carry out the modification work on the Colossus.

After communicating with Anti-Entropy about the reserves of core components for the Sailfish and Swordfish battleships that were about to be assembled, Russell left the central control room of the outpost and returned to the Gray Goo mothership.

This time, it was not only the Gray Wind humanoid construct in navy uniform that was waiting for his return on the Gray Goo mothership.

Next to Huifeng stood a tall woman who was 2.1 meters tall, wearing only a loose purple-black robe and with long pink-white hair that reached her ankles.

It was the humanoid body that Koronia had newly sculpted.

"Master, the biological warp engine you requested has been completed and can be mass-produced and supplied at any time, but there are some precautions during installation and use..."

"Marshal, Lystia, who was conducting a survey in the Flare Galaxy with the Inquisition, just sent back a message not long ago that they discovered an alien ruin there..."

As soon as they boarded the ship, Coronie and Grey Wind rushed to start their work reports.

Russell couldn't quite understand where their competitive spirit came from. He hadn't pushed for any progress, so why were they so inward-looking? This was not a good trend.

Could it be that everyone here is a workaholic except me?

That's terrible.

Russell found a way to calm them down. He planned to listen to Grey Wind's story about Lysitia's discovery in the Flare Galaxy first, and then ask Coronia for information about the biological warp engine.

But when Gray Wind finished speaking the first sentence, he immediately became fully alert.

"What did you say? A pyramid that flickers in and out of existence? A sickle-shaped warship that ignores inertia? A metal skeleton that has a penchant for covering itself with flesh and blood?"

For the first time since arriving in this universe, Russell was somewhat reluctant to believe what Gray Wind said.

Grey Wind called up the video records sent from Faya and showed Russell all the survey and battle processes recorded from the perspective of the Oracle of Truth, including the traces of battle and the bodies of Space Marines later discovered in the pyramid complex.

After watching it, Russell realized the importance of the matter.

"It is certain that this is a tomb world of the Necron Dynasty."

Russell said: "The traces of mechanical operation in the pyramid complex are no more than a hundred years old, which coincides with the time when you detonated the binary star to annihilate the insect swarm."

Coroni pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.

"This tomb world was originally hidden in another dimension by the Necrons' phase technology. Perhaps due to some chain reaction caused by the explosion of the star, their phase shifter short-circuited, causing the tomb world to flicker between reality and illusion..."

Gray Wind nodded thoughtfully. He never expected that the most inconspicuous and remote galaxy that he had specially selected would actually be the sleeping place of a Necron dynasty.

What a coincidence.

"The body of the Space Marine that was found was killed by a bolter. The Necrons rarely use bolter weapons. If we rule out the possibility of infighting within the Flame of Repentance, then this warrior should have been killed by a Fallen Angel."

"The traces of battle in the pyramids also roughly match the time when Miraak disappeared. Miraak's troops must have exchanged fire with the target they were chasing, who was most likely a Fallen Angel, in the tomb of the Necrons..."

After sorting out the context of the matter to this point, Russell had a question:

"Why is it here? The Fallen Angels were chased into the Flare System by Miraak. There just happened to be a Necron Dynasty sleeping here. They just happened to escape into the tomb world that appears and disappears from time to time... This is such a coincidence."

Koroni said softly, "Maybe it's not a coincidence, Master?"

It came to stand next to Russell, leaned down and said, "Didn't you say it before? The size of the Fallen Angels' fleet is much larger than Miraak's forces. There is no reason for them to be chased and flee by an enemy that is far weaker than them."

Then, a possibility surfaced with its words:

"Perhaps the Fallen Angels already knew that the Necrons in that system had awakened, but due to their sensitive identities, they could not directly alert the Empire. So they could only deliberately reveal their whereabouts to attract the attention of the extreme Unforgiven, and lead Miraak and his men into the flare by fighting and fleeing, using this method to convey the message."

As soon as Coroniai finished speaking, Gray Wind immediately questioned, "But the Fallen Angels are traitors to the First Legion. As traitors, do they need to expose themselves and inform the Empire of the threat of the awakened undead?"

Russell smiled: "That... I can't really say for sure."

"Huh?" Gray Wind was a little confused: "What's the inside story?"

Russell nodded: "Yes, and quite a lot."

"Although the Fallen Angels are considered traitors by the descendants of the Dark Angels, in fact, there are many factions among the Fallen Angels. Some of these factions are even more loyal than Miraak."

Chapter 112 Biological Engine

"When the Horus Heresy broke out, Lion the Lion led half of the Dark Angels to fight in the starry sky and destroy the home planet of the rebel legion."

"The other half of the Dark Angels' forces, mainly logistical management personnel and new recruits, are stationed on Caliban, the home planet of the Lion King."

"When the disheartened Lion King left the Second Empire and led his Dark Angels back to the home planet, conflict occurred."

On the way back to Faya, Russell told Gray Wind and Coronie about the little things about the Dark Angels and the Fallen Angels in the shortest possible sentences:

“Among the half of the Dark Angels who stayed on their home planet Caliban at that time, they can be roughly divided into the following factions:

Before the Lion's return, the First Legion, the Dark Angels, served directly under the Emperor of Mankind, recruiting soldiers directly from Holy Terra.

After the Lion King returned and took over the First Legion, these Terran veterans had a prejudice against the Lion King.

They despised their Primarch's callous behavior of sacrificing large numbers of civilian casualties for strategic gain, believing that such barbaric behavior was without honor and a betrayal of the ideals of the Great Crusade.

The Terra veterans believed that their Primarch lacked the Emperor's kingly spirit and they longed to get rid of the Lion King, bring the First Legion back under the Emperor's command, and regain their ideals and glory.

This faction is the 'Faction of Terra', or the 'Faction of the Emperor'."

After the Lion King returned, the home planet Caliban where he grew up also surrendered to the rule of the Empire and became the new recruiting planet for the Dark Angels.

But the Empire's rule over Caliban was extremely brutal. The Mechanicus cut down large swaths of Caliban's forests and forced countless people into factories to work continuously, providing logistical supplies for the Great Crusade.

The Dark Angels who were born in Caliban were very angry at the unfair treatment of their hometown. They believed that the Empire was a brutal regime that exploited and squeezed Caliban regardless of the lives of the people. They were betrayed by the Lion King.

They longed for Caliban to break away from the brutal rule of the Empire and return to the harmony of the Knights' era.

This faction is 'Caliban'."

There is a native belief totem on Caliban called Ouroboros, which is something similar to the will of the planet.

The belief in Ouroboros has also spread to the Dark Angels, and has been influenced by Chaos to a certain extent. 'It' has its own purpose, so those who believe in this totem can be called Ouroboros, heretics, or Chaos.

The Ouroboros knew that Caliban was contaminated by Chaos, and they feared that if the truth was revealed, their homeland would be destroyed by the Empire, so they also hoped that Caliban could be free from the control of the Empire.

Gray Wind and Coronie sat on Russell's left and right, listening quietly. But when he got to this point, he suddenly sighed softly:

"In addition to these three major factions, there are also a large number of Dark Angel recruits on Caliban who know nothing. They know nothing about the complex relationships and chaos within the Legion, and were involved in this civil war in ignorance. I call them the innocent faction."

After the civil war broke out and Caliban was destroyed, a sudden space-time vortex sucked the Dark Angels into it and randomly threw them to different points in the future; whether they were the Terra faction or the Caliban faction, the Chaos faction with ulterior motives and the ignorant recruits, they were all given the same name by the Dark Angels of later generations - Fallen Angels.

"The fallen angels who led Miraak into the flare, if they really wanted to pass on the news of the awakening of the dead to the Empire..." Grey Wind crossed his arms, raised his index finger to his lips, and said thoughtfully: "Then they should be Terran veterans loyal to the Emperor of Mankind? Or are they innocent recruits who were inexplicably dragged into the civil war?"

"That's true, but it could also be the loyal Dark Angels who followed the Lion King. After all, it's not only the people on Caliban who are caught up in the vortex of time and space." Russell added.

"Huh?" Hui Feng was confused: "The Loyalists are also Fallen Angels?"

"Yes." Russell casually picked up a bunch of long pink and white hair that fell from Coronie's shoulders and said, "Whether loyal or treacherous, chaotic or innocent, as long as they participated in and witnessed the civil war, they are all fallen angels. For the Unforgiven, it makes no difference, they just arrest them, because they actually know only a little about the civil war."

As they were talking, the Gray Goo mothership passed through the L-gate.

The guide statue holding a lantern was left behind, and outside the porthole, a beautiful blue-green planet was getting closer and closer.

Arrived in Fallas.

Gray Wind took a lot of effort to digest the logic, and finally looked at Russell with a wronged face: "These human thoughts are not easy for me to understand. How can I describe them? They are very awkward, very twisted, and... too extreme."
