I am a green-skinned master

Moreover, the troops prepared in the north were enough to deal with the elusive Eldar. The Great Devourer did not take the Eldar too seriously, although their fighting power was really strong. However, after eating some Eldar brains in several battles, the Great Devourer knew them very well.
This is a race with high combat power but low war potential. Their civilization is in decline, and their population is very small compared to other races. They basically cannot fight a war of attrition, and their long life span has become their weakness that they cannot afford to lose many lives in war.
The southern pliers were in big trouble. Before the Screw Clan showed up, the southern pliers were almost at the designated location to join the northern pliers. But the sudden flight of the Screw Clan's fleet completely disrupted the advance of the southern tentacle fleet, and now the battle there was in chaos.
It is like a very complicated ball of yarn. Even with the computing power of the Great Devourer, it is difficult to untangle this ball of yarn.
The computing unit told the Great Devourer with cold numbers that if the boss of the Screw Clan, that special orc named Slippery, launched an all-out attack, there was a 30% chance that the entire southern Octares star field would be captured by him.
Then the revolutionary change in the war situation will extend to the central...northern part of the Octareus star field, until the Zerg is completely defeated by the Orks.
The Swarm would not accept such a defeat, and neither would the Great Devourer.
There is still time. Even if the pincer attack did not completely encircle the Octarian system, it has blocked more than 80% of the greenskin reinforcements. The Great Devourer is preparing to launch a general attack. We must quickly kill the orc demon king.
The Great Devourer is in pain, but Cheng Mingrui is very happy. He doesn't know yet that his arrangement has already had a huge impact on the entire Orc star field. He feels that it will take a long time for the flapping of his wings like a little butterfly to affect the entire battle situation.
On the Abundance IV, Cheng Mingrui was operating the engineering Kong to build the last shipyard. After welding the last area, He pushed up his goggles and said to the Squiggle-like Holmes, "Old rules, five Juicy Squigs, transform quickly."
"No, we need to add one. I've been working overtime lately and I'm too tired." After saying this, Halls yawned loudly. Unlike Cheng Mingrui, he was an ordinary life and would feel sleepy, hungry, and tired.
"No, you've been eating too much lately and you've gained weight."
"Then I won't help you!"
"If you don't help me, I will go find Kuka. Kuka's psychic power is very strong now, so it will be no problem for him to build such a shipyard." Cheng Mingrui used his trump card.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Halls started to cry, "Slippery boss, you really are full of bad intentions."
While crying, Hols turned into an ancient elf and said, "We agreed on five...five Juicy Squiggs. You must keep your word."
Cheng Mingrui was so moved by the crying that he thought, forget it, just give them six Juicy Squiggs later. It doesn't matter if they are a little fat. Anyway, Horus is a slime, and he won't have high blood pressure or fatty liver if he grows bigger.
Sufficient spiritual energy was injected into Cheng Mingrui's body, and his hand was pressed on the shipyard. Under the surging spiritual energy, the machine soul was activated, and Cheng Mingrui could feel that he was touching a life.
Parts, steel plates, and wiring began to slowly grow from some unfinished areas of the shipyard, and the entire structure was self-repairing and growing toward completion.
Cheng Mingrui increasingly felt that the essence of his life was sublimating. He seemed to have touched some kind of authority. He felt it most obviously when he killed the Star-Eating Beast and was filled with waaagh energy.
Since then, He has been able to activate the machine soul, allowing it to temporarily come alive and grow on its own. However, there is a condition, which is that only those relatively ordinary structures can be grown, and the core position still needs to be manufactured.
Even so, the construction process could be accelerated a lot. Cheng Mingrui, with several engineering giants, repaired all the shipyards above Fengrao IV in just one month.
In fifteen minutes, the shipyard was built thanks to Cheng Mingrui's amazing ability. Halls, who was standing beside him, lay on his shoulder, his fingers so tired that he couldn't lift them. Cheng Mingrui had drained all his spiritual energy.
"Thank you for your hard work. Six Juicy Squiggs. I'll ask the Fart Spirit to help you catch them right away." Cheng Mingrui said comfortingly.
Although Halls was too tired to move, his pointed ears still twitched.
The construction of Harvest IV can be handed over to Boss Copperhead, who will be responsible for the mining work here, and will teleport the orc boulders into space and begin repairing the ships one by one to prepare for the next expedition.
Cheng Mingrui's work came to the sky above Fengzao No. 3, where the new Slippery Boss was parked in the center of a large shipbuilding platform. Countless engineering King Kongs and engineering ancient giants were doing construction and welding work around her.
The entire shipbuilding platform covers an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers. It seems huge, but in fact it is made up of a number of ancient orc giant spaceships. The essential logic is the same as building a floating bridge.
There was no other way to make it so crude. In order to meet the half-year shipbuilding plan required by Cheng Mingrui, it was necessary to do it this simple way to quickly reach the shipbuilding standard. Not only was the Slippery Boss building on the platform, but some Orc warships that were injured in previous battles were also being repaired and modified here. The performance of the Dimensional Cannon was too impressive last time, and now almost every Orc battleship will be equipped with one.
Without checking the progress of the repair and renovation of other orc warships, Cheng Mingrui's engineering giant flew directly to the side of the Slippery Boss. On the general planning platform, he found Waizui who was temporarily in charge of the construction work here.
In fact, Waizui's talent for skills is quite strong. Judging from the previous standards, he has long been considered a great skills master, and Cheng Mingrui also intends to promote him to be a great skills master.
However, he has not yet achieved any outstanding results to gain the recognition of the greenskins from other clans. This time, building the Slippery Boss is a good opportunity.
Chapter 216 Active Defense System
Although Cheng Mingrui will be deeply involved in the entire construction of Slippery Boss, he will publicize to the outside world that it was Crooked Mouth who presided over the main construction and design. In this way, other greenskins will think that Crooked Mouth is also very awesome, as he actually built Slippery Boss's flagship.
After gaining recognition from other greenskins, it was only natural for Cheng Mingrui to appoint Waizui as the new great master.
"How's the progress, Waizui?" Cheng Mingrui greeted Waizui as soon as he got on the platform.
While operating three screens and directing the construction work, Waizui replied without turning his head: "If we build it according to the previous design, the progress will be very smooth and it will definitely be completed within half a year. It's not difficult to copy it, but..."
"Just what?" Cheng Mingrui scratched Halls' chin. Halls, who was sitting on his shoulder, was eating a large piece of meat with his mouth full of oil.
"It's just that we have to redesign the energy ratio of the Slippery Boss. First of all, we can't repair the Star God Crusher for the time being, so there is a lot of extra energy. Also, Boss, you and I agreed to develop a new shield, so we still have to study it."
The words of the crooked mouth made Cheng Mingrui fall into thought. It was a pity that the Star God Crusher Cannon was lost. Its original version was based on the anti-Star God weapon of the Sphinx Dynasty. Cheng Mingrui could deconstruct it, but he could not copy it. He did not understand it deeply enough.
As for the shield system, it must be updated. The last time the ship was attacked by the Star Devourer, these shields were directly pierced by the Star Devourer's sword, and even the bridge was destroyed. This caused the Slippery Boss to be completely in a passive position.
This must change.
"Do you have any ideas?" Cheng Mingrui did not directly say his thoughts, but chose to ask first. He felt that learning from others was a good advantage, and the orc masters also had their own areas of expertise and creative ideas.
"Hmm..." Wai Zui turned around and thought for a while, then said, "I have a plan. When Iron Claw was blasted by Xiami's Skyfire and ran around everywhere, he asked me to make a thing just in case. It can generate a powerful shield to protect him when he suffers fatal damage."
"Are you talking about this thing?" Cheng Mingrui took out a round ball from his arms and handed it to Waizui. Waizui looked at it and said, "Boss Slippery, you are a genius! You are this thing. The thing you made is much better than what I made."
This is one of the life-saving props that Cheng Mingrui made for Halls. This thing is difficult to make, takes a lot of time to manufacture, and is almost impossible to mass-produce. Cheng Mingrui also makes one or two in his time.
"You want to use the emergency shield of this device to resist sudden and powerful attacks?"
"Yes, boss, this is my idea for now." Waizui answered honestly.
"Have you thought about how to solve the manufacturing problem? This thing is quite difficult to make." Cheng Mingrui tapped the ball in his hand.
"The life-saving sphere is indeed difficult to make. If it is to be expanded to protect the giant sly boss, the manufacturing cost and time will be even higher."
Wai Zui scratched his head and continued, "And it's not just a matter of production cost. Since the Slippery Boss is hundreds of kilometers long, the lethal attack she will receive will only be greater... If we want to face a bigger attack, we have to build a thicker shield, and a thicker shield will put more pressure on the reactor. It's a vicious cycle, Boss."
Cheng Mingrui couldn't think of a solution for a moment. He did consider applying the logic of the life-saving ball to the warship, but the technical difficulties meant that the idea could only remain an idea and was not very feasible.
"I think we can change our thinking." The crooked mouth seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and his eyes lit up. "Creating a shield to resist the attack is ultimately a confrontation of quantity. The result must be that the higher energy level will suppress the lower energy level."
"As the attackers, at the same energy level, they can concentrate their energy on one point. As the defenders, we can only disperse the same energy into a shield, which is unfair. Attack will definitely be higher than defense."
"The essence of the life-saving sphere is actually to store a large amount of energy to form a life-saving shield at the critical moment. Logically, it is still based on energy levels to confront each other. If, we use attacks to offset attacks, boss, see if you can start from this idea." Waizui expressed his inspiration.
"Counterattack!" Cheng Mingrui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ah? Boss, what are you talking about?" Waizui didn't quite understand what the sly boss meant.
"You are such a genius, crooked mouth. I have already decided through research that you will be the next great technical master!" Cheng Mingrui, who had an idea, left crooked mouth with a confused look on his face and teleported to his own workshop to start theoretical design.
Explosive reactive armor is a defensive armor often used on main battle tanks on Blue Star. Its characteristics are that it is cheap and effective. They are attached to the main battle tanks like small cubes, and destroy incoming armor-piercing ammunition by actively detonating themselves.
The details are not mentioned here, but the idea of active defense can be used as a reference. The counter-attack method that Cheng Mingrui wants to use is the Dimensional Cannon. By the same logic, once an attack with a high energy amplitude comes, the Dimensional Cannon will be activated to cause a space tear in the attack area. Once the space is torn, the attack will naturally be resolved.
Once the thinking changed, passive defense became active defense, and the idea suddenly became clear.
The new defense system can be designed into two parts. The outer side is still a void shield covered by a stand shield, but the strength is reduced to one-third of the previous one, which is enough to defend against general battleship-level attacks.
Once it is destroyed, the small dimensional cannons installed around the Slippery Boss will be activated, completely tearing apart the space in the direction of the attack.
This will also give the Slippery Boss's cockpit an advance warning. Within 0.5 seconds, the battleship's helmsman will know the amount and direction of the incoming energy, and can also decide whether to activate the Kaka transmitter to flash the battlefield.
With active defense and flash skills, the survivability of the Slippery Boss will surely be taken to a new level in future conflicts.
After completing the theoretical demonstration, Cheng Mingrui drew the design framework into a blueprint and sent it to Waizui, asking him to see if there were any difficulties in its construction.
His thoughts turned to the battleship's bridge. The bridge was destroyed in the first place, which was the reason why the Slippery Boss was in a situation of being a lamb to be slaughtered. Cheng Mingrui planned to reinforce it.
The folded space blocked all attacks from the Star-Eating Beast, and Cheng Mingrui prepared to move the bridge into the inside of the folded space.
In order to prevent the delay inside and outside the space from causing the bridge to be unable to operate the warship immediately, the shape of the folding space has also been changed, and a channel has been set up, with the entrance of the channel right on the bridge.
Once a crisis occurs, the folded space will wrap up the bridge to protect the important personnel inside.
Chapter 217 Designing a Giant King Kong
After solving defensive problems such as the bridge, we can consider offensive weapons. It's a pity that the Star God Crusher is destroyed. I wonder if we can get another one from a certain Necron Dynasty.
It is not easy to shop in the Necromancer Dynasty. It all depends on luck.
At this stage, we can use the large-scale Dimension Cannon to replace the main gun effect of the Star God Crusher Cannon. In addition to this, what kind of weapons should be added?
The Star God Crusher is too advanced to be touched, but you can touch other weapons of the Necrons. For example, their most traditional Gauss weapon, it is okay to put one on the bow, whether it is against a single enemy or a group of enemies, the effect is good.
It was just building two main guns at a time, so the time was still tight. It would have been great if Dio was here, because he was best at making weapons. The bigger and more powerful the weapon, the more interested he was in making it, and the better it was.
Cheng Mingrui doesn't have to worry about other secondary weapons, such as macro cannons and light spears. He can just leave them to Waizui.
Cheng Mingrui was considering the most extreme problem, which was what if the Tyranids could hatch larger giant biological ships that were better at close combat, and still managed to control the Slippery Boss during the battle?
He drew on his holographic projection, which contained a plan by Kidd, who suggested that the Slippery Boss be equipped with a pair of arms to handle complex situations. After all, arms are much more flexible in close combat, and those Gorilla on the back of the ancient giant have also proved their value in several actual battles.
This is not out of the question. Cheng Mingrui plans to build a huge statue of the devil behind the slippery boss. After the statue is consecrated, he will equip it with arms and weapons and use it as a giant devil King Kong.
This type of King Kong can not only handle complex close combat situations, but also when attacking enemy planets, it can be teleported to the planet to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy's Titan weapons.
For any race, a Titan that is hundreds of meters tall is a precious decisive battle weapon. Not only is it difficult to manufacture, but it is also very painful to lose one.
The King Kong that Cheng Mingrui planned to build would have a height of more than ten kilometers. If this thing were dropped onto the battlefield, the enemy's expressions would surely be very interesting.
It takes time to build such a large Kong. Cheng Mingrui only has five months to build the main gun and the main structure of the Huatou Laoda first. The Kong on its back can be built while sailing.
Since we are planning to build a kilometer-level monster, should we equip it with some useful weapons? For example, those useful and sacred melee weapons?
Bang! Cheng Mingrui clenched his hands and crushed the tablet in his hands. He couldn't think about it anymore... If he kept thinking about it, the construction period would not be enough. There were so many construction tasks that he had to work overtime for five months without sleep.
After communicating the construction points with Waizui, Cheng Mingrui entered the workaholic mode with his five engineering King Kongs and three engineering ancient giants.
The workaholic mode lasted for more than two months, and all the greenskins were stunned. They watched as the sly boss used the remote control in his hand to operate the engineering King Kong and the ancient giant to be responsible for a construction area alone. No other greenskin could match this efficiency by even one percent.
"So boring! So boring! Boss Sly... let's go find some fun. The new Blood Bowl Squig Game has started. Let's go and have a look! That bad guy Gargaz got a good beating. Now he has a piece of iron on his head and face. It's so funny. The creditor wanted to use his hair Squig to pay off the debt, but he refused, so he was hit with a hammer."
Halls, who was lying on Cheng Mingrui's shoulder, was bored and chattering about the fun in the greenskin life. The clever guy took him to see the Bloody Bowl Squiggle game, and he also fell in love with the Bloody Bowl Squiggle game.
"In order to make money, Gagaze continued to be a host, but now there are many people watching him in every game to prevent him from running away with the tooth. Of course, in order to prevent other greenskins from stealing the tooth, he has to use a Daka to protect the tooth. His Daka is quite accurate..."
Halls talked for a long time, but Cheng Mingrui didn't leave his side. He focused on the work at hand and didn't even say a perfunctory "yes".
"You're so boring! I'm going out to play!" Hols said angrily. He turned into a fart spirit, walked to the door, and looked back at Cheng Mingrui. Seeing that he was still concentrating on his work, Hols snorted and ran out to play alone.
In space, the entire shipbuilding platform was busy, and except for Halls, no one seemed to be idle. After all, the ancient giant holding the work points sign flew around the slippery boss again and again. The boss who didn't have enough points had to stay, and not taking you waaagh was a big blow to the greenskins.
After walking around the corridor for several times, Halls felt a little bored. No greenskins wanted to pay attention to him, as they were all busy with their own things. He also didn't know how to fly a spaceship, so he couldn't even go to the Harvest III to watch the game.
While sleepwalking, he suddenly felt a pain coming from the soles of his feet. If Halls had not suffered so much, the pain would have made him scream.
"Hey~ Why don't you scream, you fart spirit?" a voice asked in confusion.
Halls looked up and saw a tall orc boy, the kind of orc whose height was a little shorter than the boss, but taller than most boys. His eyes were very sharp, but there was a funny iron plate on his forehead.
Being often with Cheng Mingrui, basically no one dared to provoke Halls. I didn't expect that I would meet such a blind boy when I came out to relax.
Horus transformed from a fart spirit into a giant Squig, so big that it could swallow the orc boy in front of it in one bite.
The orc boy's eyes widened, and his expression changed from the smugness of stepping on the fart spirit's feet to dumbfoundedness. His mind was working quickly. He heard that the mount of the slippery boss was a transforming Squig! The idiot was thinking, how unlucky he was. He was so depressed that he came out to bully the fart spirit, but it turned out to be the boss's mount!
"I was wrong! Don't eat me! I'm very powerful. I can... I can fly a plane and blow up the shrimp's big robot!" In order to avoid being eaten, Dai Fu filled his desire to survive. He remembered that the reason why Iron Claw Boss was so indulgent to him was because he could blow the shrimps to pieces.
Hols closed his big mouth. He just wanted to scare the orc boy. "I don't eat boys. I only like to eat juicy Squigs, especially the roasted ones with greasy texture."
"I have a Juicy Squig over there! It tastes much better than mine!" The idiot grasped the point in an instant.
Chapter 218 New Friends
Soon, Hols followed the Dummy to his shabby room and watched him rummage around in it for a long time before he finally dug out some teeth, thus finding the money to buy Juicy Squig.
The clever Dummy quickly bought some Juicy Squig from the cunning Fart and grilled a feast for Holmes.
Halls enjoyed the meal very much, and he began to like Daifu. You know, Cheng Mingrui had recently strictly required him not to eat after meals in order to control his weight, so it was very rare for him to have a special meal.
Halls was enjoying the meal and spoke for the first time. Normally, he was unwilling to talk to any greenskins except the slippery boss. "You said you can fly a plane! Can you take me to a planet and watch the Bloody Squiggle game?"
"Of course I can... I have modified the plane myself, so it's not a problem for me to fly from here to the planet, but... I don't have enough work points, and I still have to tighten the screws. Today, the scabs checked my work points and found that I was far behind, so they scolded me. I was very angry, so I decided to vent my anger on someone..."
Hols' eyes were pure and shining. "It's a small matter! I'll go talk to the cunning boss and ask him to assign you to our team. The boss's work points are very high! It doesn't matter if you are added."
The stupid man's brain was struck by lightning. There is such an operation. It is so simple and he can join the team of the slippery boss? No wonder those little idiots like to find powerful orc bosses as followers. It turns out that being a follower is so cool. You can get work points without screwing any screws!
Instantly, Daifu's expression became interesting, and he immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll bring it right away..."
"Big Mud Ball." Halls did not say his long name. He now felt that the nickname given to him by the clever guy was more down-to-earth. This seemingly not-so-bright orc boy would not be able to remember his long name.
"I'll take Big Mud Ball to watch the Bloody Squiggle game!" Dafu shouted excitedly. He could finally fly in the blue sky instead of working like a screwdriver here.
When Halls boarded Dave's plane and saw Dave sitting in the driver's seat, he found that Dave's temperament seemed to have changed. Halls had seen that kind of confident temperament in many orcs, such as Kidd who was researching equipment, the clever guy when gambling, and the sly boss who stood tall on the battlefield.
When Dave's plane fell rapidly from the shipyard in space and broke into the atmosphere of Harvest III, the speed was incredibly fast. This is probably what it felt like to speed.
