Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

All intelligent life has its own projection in the Sea of ​​Souls, and the stronger the soul and spirit, the more eye-catching the projection in the subspace.

The projections of ordinary humans are flickering sparks, while the projections of awakened psykers are brilliant fireworks. As for Alpha-level psykers like Joey, they can completely illuminate part of the subspace like a lighthouse.

As for the Tau, according to the description of the Trojan Think Tank, they are like a grain of sand among billions of dust particles, even the background frequency of the subspace is more conspicuous than them.

"It's incredible. How can these Titanium aliens have such a dull projection in the subspace while having souls? They are not machines without emotions and consciousness." Roche sighed.

The Titanium aliens clearly showed fear and sadness when being hunted.

"Perhaps this is why this alien race was chosen. They are naturally incompatible with the Warp. So when the Tau develop, they may never be aware of the existence of the Warp."

Sage Lawrence also marveled at the magic of the Titanium. Due to their isolation from the subspace, it would be difficult for the Titanium to see the true side of the universe.

They might consider this to be a physical universe from beginning to end, and regard the Warp, psionics, and sorcery as ridiculous superstition and ignorance.

They will remain ridiculously naive for a long time and will scoff at the caution shown by other races.

The human race once achieved explosive development with the help of the subspace, growing from a tiny race living in a remote corner to a great species that now occupies half of the galaxy.

However, the warp storms, the widespread psychic gene mutations, and the increasingly frequent warp biological invasions have further demonstrated the danger of the warp.

If given a choice, most people, including think tank psychics, would prefer that humans be a purely psychically isolated race.

At least in this way, it will be extremely difficult for those monsters and demons in the subspace to discover the existence of humans, and they will not be as passive as they are now. The human soul is coveted by demons, and they try their best to come to the real universe to search and prey.

"They might envy humans, thinking that we have psykers who can use magic and sorcery, astropaths who can send psychic communications across thousands of light years, and navigators who can navigate the warp with psychic eyes," said Roche.

"Like a besieged city, humans envy the Tau for their psychic insulation, while the Tau envy humans for their ability to sense and utilize the Warp."

Sage Lawrence lowered his head, looking a little melancholy. He didn't understand how the Titanium could do this and possess the innate insulation from the subspace.

If it were possible to modify human genes so that they also had low sensitivity to the subspace, then his name would definitely leave an indelible page in the history of the Empire.

Reducing humanity's subspace sensitivity...

Luo Xi recalled in a trance the distant past, when humans did not seem to possess psychic talents as commonly as they do now.

"Sage, actually what you said is biased." Luo Xi stretched out his tone, and Lawrence was obviously alert and curious, and he listened attentively.

"At least in the early days of humanity, about 18,000 years ago, there weren't many psychics among humans. At that time, mastering the power of witchcraft and magic was also new and rare to humans."

"Until a certain technology emerged: the warp drive."

Luo Xi was flipping through those long-forgotten memories. He had forgotten many things, but this major event still left a deep impression in his mind.

Because humanity truly transformed from a stellar civilization to a galactic civilization after the invention of the subspace engine.

Humans have spent most of the 2nd to 15th millenniums exploring the Solar System and other nearby star systems, and the Solar System was large enough for humans, who had just left their cradle.

At the end of the 15th millennium, a technological explosion occurred in human civilization. Humans began to master sub-light speed engines and put them into space travel.

Even though now even civilian ships can travel long distances across galaxies, in the past this was undoubtedly a fantasy. A mature fluidless propulsion system and a sufficiently powerful and stable energy source would be enough to stifle humanity's ambition to colonize other galaxies.

Sage Lawrence listened very carefully. The auxiliary thinking module in his brain was already recording the conversation. Being able to obtain first-hand and detailed information was an invaluable opportunity for any technical sage.

"In the 18th millennium of mankind, the warp engine was invented. This was an unprecedented great creation. Humans began to understand the strange dimension of the warp and explore its disorder of time and space. With the power of the warp engine, humans began to be able to travel long distances through the warp."

The history of the subspace engine is much longer than most people imagine. Of course, the original prototype is quite different from what we think of today.

"So what you mean is that it is precisely because humans began to frequently use subspace engines to travel through space that the number of psychics began to increase?" Sage Lawrence asked.

"My thought is that it is true," Roche replied.

"Contact with the Sea of ​​Souls is full of uncertainty. Perhaps the power of the Warp has rewritten human genes, or perhaps humans have evolved in the direction of adapting to the Warp over a long period of time. In short, by the 22nd millennium, more and more psykers have appeared among humans."

Like the Emperor of Humanity, he was a psychic and immortal since ancient times before history, but these are extremely rare cases and cannot be used as reference.

"It was the golden age of human civilization. Humans began to try to understand and explore the nature of the birth of psykers. It was at that time that navigators, special carriers of psyker genes, began to appear widely."

"At that time, the rulers of the Human Alliance intentionally selected and shaped a relatively stable group of psychic mutants through gene editing. This was the prototype of the Navigator family. These gene-edited mutants provided more efficient navigation services for the Alliance."

The core of Sage Lawrence's mind was slightly heating up, which was somewhat different from the history he knew.

The Age of Strife of the Old Night destroyed so much of the historical record that humans no longer even know what happened in the past.

If this is true, then perhaps humans were somewhat similar to the Tau in the past, a race with a low sensitivity to the Warp.

So...it was humans themselves who made their own race what it is today.

Through genetic technology, human genes are developed in the direction of adapting to the subspace.

"In fact, humans don't have many choices. We have no other way to exceed the speed of light. We can only rely on the warp for superluminal navigation and communication. Not only does the warp affect humans, but humans are also embracing the Supreme Heaven."

Human beings have embraced the Supreme Heaven and psychic power, but are now suffering greatly from them. It is difficult to judge whether humanity’s original choice was correct.

"Trojan Librarian, what is the resistance of the Tau to psionic energy? Do they have some similarities with the Untouchables?"

Luo Xi turned to look at Troy, who stood there like a statue without any unnecessary nonsense.

The think tank director raised a hand, and psychic lightning surged from his fingertips, and the crackling electric light instantly hit the unconscious Tau man.

Under the attack of the ferocious psychic lightning, the flesh and blood of the titanium creature quickly turned into an unrecognizable charred product, and it died completely without even having the chance to react.

"My psychic powers were weakened, but I was still able to kill it. They are far inferior to our Untouchable warriors."

The body of the Titanium alien turned into a handful of ashes that emitted residual heat, and the rising smoke announced the death of a soul.

Chapter 229: The Titans Prepare for War

In a desert area in the northern hemisphere of Titanium, the clouds floating in the sky were dyed blood red.

There is no trace of life on the plateau where yellow sand is flying. Even the herbivorous beasts have disappeared completely. The lonely thorny plants are shaking constantly in the strong wind.

Any beast with a little bit of intelligence knows how to seek good fortune and avoid danger. Before the seven days and nights changed, all the native life forms living here experienced what great disaster was.

Those metal giants that descended from outside the starry sky rode giant metal birds that made loud noises and spewed out long tails in the sky.

They can unleash a deadly hail of metal from just out of sight, and their all-consuming fire will consume all life.

These mythical rumors are being spread within the Tau in the most primitive way. At first, the Tau people from different tribes did not believe these nonsense. The Tau people are the children of God, so how could the great Father God punish them?

The Tau, who are still in their primitive state, have already developed the rudiments of religious beliefs. In their simple ideas, the Tau are the most beloved children of the Father God. They are fundamentally different from those unintelligent beasts.

Everything on their earth, including land, water, animals and plants, is a gift from the Supreme Father, and the Tau people have the natural right to enjoy it all.

But the rumors are spreading at an even more terrifying rate, and more and more Tau people are disappearing as tribes.

Kuran Shawwa felt the crisis.

As a Fire Clan warrior occupying the largest plains area, he has always believed in his intuition and instinct. The Tau people are the most powerful existence on this land. Even those ferocious Steppe Wolves are no match for the united Fire Clan warriors.

Therefore, there must be a being beyond their knowledge that is hunting the proud Tau people.

Kuran tried to analyze some useful information from the rumors, just as they judged the direction of a herd of animals by observing the traces of their prey's feces.

The Tau who brought the news claimed that the enemies descended from the sky, riding giant metal birds, hunting and capturing the unsuspecting Tau with impunity.

Kuran thought of the Tau people who lived on the towering isolated mountains. Those distant cousins ​​had a completely different body structure from the Tau people in other places. They had very thin membranous wings between their limbs, which allowed them to glide on the rising thermal air currents blowing from the mountains.

As the strongest Fire Clan warrior, Kuran was extremely disdainful of his skinny and timid Air Clan cousins. He believed that they were only fit to act as messengers and scouts, delivering intelligence information, while the truly brutal war still depended on the Fire Clan.

"This news was brought by the guys from the Air Clan. They were frightened out of their wits. They said that the demons from the stars destroyed their tribe in the Orne Mountains, and they relied on their flying abilities to flee in all directions."

A member of the hunting team next to him said, and Kuran frowned. He needed more accurate information, not these rumors whose credibility was unknown.

The most important thing to win a war is information. The more information you have, the greater the advantage you will have in battle.

This is the truth that Kulan realized during the tribal struggles, so the Fire Clan has the strongest voice among many clans.

"Giant metal bird, we need stronger weapons, and we need the help of the craftsmen of the Earth Clan."

The Earth Clan that Kuran was referring to was a group of Titan people who lived in a river valley with lush vegetation.

Those cowardly guys are best at digging in the soil for food and cultivating some plant seeds and tubers. Kulan looks down on them the most because the guys from the Tu clan have no fighting spirit at all.

However, the weapons and tools they made were indeed easy to use. For example, the tip of the spear in Kulan's hand was inlaid with a black spear head taken from the crater. It was so sharp that even the skin of the strongest wild rhinoceros could hardly resist the attack of his spear.

But if the enemy is a giant bird with metal skin, Kuran believes that his weapons are still not strong enough. They have seen the natural metal ores exposed in the wilderness. They are cold, hard and tough, but the Fire Clan warriors cannot turn the ores into weapons.

There seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air. Kuran felt anxious and irritated for no reason. He forced himself to calm down and poured a bucket of cold underground river water on his head.

A cold feeling attacked him from head to toe, and the Fire Clan warrior clenched his spear tightly, trying to regain a bit of his former confidence.

His combat instincts were warning him that something bad might be happening.

"Tell the people of the Water Clan that they must dispatch the supplies we need within three solar days. Also, the elderly, weak, women and children in the clan must evacuate to the caves dug by the Earth Clan as soon as possible."

"At the same time, tell the people of the Air Clan to step up their patrols and report to me immediately if they find any abnormalities."

The Fire Clan warrior Kulan announced his orders one by one. As the most powerful and best at fighting clan, he naturally obtained the position of leader.

There are hundreds of Fire Clan warriors under his command, a huge force that can sweep away an entire tribe, and as its leader, Kulan must have enough foresight to foresee danger.

The obsidian spear in his hand became sharper after being polished, and it emitted a beautiful glittering luster under the light. Kuran's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and then he tried to throw it out.

He even dared to look directly at the sun with his own eyes. That brilliant sun was the symbol of the Supreme Father God. Kuran believed that his courage was enough to win the favor of the Father God.

"Come on, come on, unknown enemy. I will let you see how powerful the Fire Clan warriors are. We are not like those weak Air Clan and Water Clan warriors. We are not afraid of any threats or challenges."

"We will defeat the demons from the stars, and the great Tau will rise. One day our descendants will embark on an expedition to conquer those stars. We will be the true children of the universe."

Kuran felt his heart pounding. He wanted to express his feelings in words, but his lack of vocabulary and his overworked brain prevented him from uttering a single word for a long time.

"Forget it. Those Water Clan guys are good at saying these nice words. They love to use beautiful but useless words to persuade others. But if there are no Water Clan people to communicate with the various clans, I'm afraid we won't be able to unite to face the crisis."

Even though the Tau people of various clans united together when foreign enemies invaded, there were always frictions and disputes among them in normal times. The proud Fire Clan would use their force to take away everything they wanted.

With war and conquest in their veins, the Fire Caste crave a heroic death and will fight to the death for glory.

Chapter 230 White Scar: Titanium is Stronger

The increasingly strong sense of crisis prompted the Tau people to transform from a decentralized tribal primitive society to a more cohesive social form. They realized the necessity of unity.

With the Fire Caste as the core, the Tau people of the Air Caste, Earth Caste and Water Caste formed a temporary cooperative relationship to fight against the legendary enemy from outside the sky.

Sparks of innovation are constantly bursting out. The craftsmen and technicians of the Earth Clan have been inspired by the rumors. They forge and temper the existing open-pit ores and use bronze and pig iron to create new equipment.

Hard spears made of bronze replaced wooden spears, and armor forged from cast iron covered the protective clothing made of beast leather and reeds. Kulan Shawa received equipment tailored for him by the craftsmen of the Tu clan. At this moment, he felt that he could easily defeat his past self.
