Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Just when the assassin was about to succeed, the two unaffected giants in golden armor, with incredible speed, one of them pinned the assassin to the ground with his head, and the other swung his blade without hesitation.

The [Chosen One] seemed to have discovered something before, and at the moment he was pinned down and about to be beheaded, he teleported away.

Although there were large stains of blood and small pieces of flesh on the ground, the assassin [The Chosen One] had suffered a lot of damage even though he had managed to escape a second ago.

The XCOM members looked at the holes dug by the hands of the Imperial Guards and the cracks cut by the power halberds, and began to re-evaluate the fighting ability of this ally.

But they would probably never imagine how powerful their ally is.

I feel like there are not enough posts recently.

Is anyone here? Can you please say a few more words~?(^?^*)

26. A nap before the battle

[Unknown Hope] - Workshop inside the ship

A large number of alien weapons, some incomplete and some complete, were placed on the table in front of the technical priest Kadok. At the same time, a ripped-open mutant corpse was lying on the dissection table behind him.

squeak--

As the door of the workshop opened, Zhang Yi walked in.

"What's the catch, Master Kadoc?"

"Low-grade, but exquisite creation." Kadoc said as he looked at the mutant magnetic rifle that he had 'cut into pieces'. "A gun body material that is ultra-light and ultra-thin but still strong, with magnetic projectiles. Although it is not powerful enough, it is simple, easy to repair and use."

"The weapons in this universe are not as 'big and bulky' as those in your world, and they don't have those monsters here..." Zhang Yi said. "Let's talk about something practical. Are these things helpful to you?"

"Although the magnetic weapons here are not powerful enough and are unlikely to be suitable for wars with different races on multiple planets, they can be used as a cheap weapon by some planetary PDFs (Planetary Defense Forces)..."

"And their plasma weapons are slightly different from what we have. They fire streams of plasma or small blocks of plasma. They are not as powerful as the Empire's various plasma/plasma weapons, but..."

"Theirs are much more stable, right?" Zhang Yi thought about the Empire's various plasma weapons that had poor cooling performance, and then thought about the various plasma weapons in the game, whether in the hands of aliens or XCOM, that could output power for a long time in a relatively stable manner, and said.

"Although the stability of their plasma weapons is related to their low output power, but..." Father Kadoc grabbed an undisassembled Mutant plasma gun with one of his mechanical claws and said, "The design of their weapons in terms of heat dissipation and continuous output is indeed worthy of our study and learning."

"What about materials and energy?" Zhang Yi asked.

"What you and the humans of this world call [alien alloy], [transuranium crystal] and [transuranium core], right?" Master Kadoc said. "[Alien alloy] is a light and strong alloy metal, but compared with the various alloys of the Empire, it is not very good, but it can still be included as a general alloy..."

"[Transuranium crystal] is a synthetic substance that can store a large amount of energy. After being compressed and liquefied, it can be made into a [transuranium core]."

"In terms of energy storage capacity, it is still not as good as the technology we have, but it has high compatibility and stability. And according to my speculation, these aliens should have a way to produce these crystals and cores in large quantities."

“These two things are really good things for us.”

"So what did you find from the autopsy of the collected alien corpses?" Zhang Yi asked another question.

"I have indeed found certain DNA modifications and chips with certain psychic properties in the brains of almost all aliens and what you call mutants transformed from humans." Father Kadoc said. "According to my preliminary research, that thing can indeed monitor or control the actions of the implanted person under certain circumstances..."

"But that's all. I mainly study mechanical things, and I don't know much about biology and psychic energy."

At this time, Zhang Yi walked to Kadok's research table and looked at the two weapons of "Chosen Ones".

"What I want most is a personal psychic teleportation device that can independently judge and teleport the host to a safe location when the host is seriously injured or dying."

"That kind of thing only exists on the Chosen Ones, and we couldn't kill any of them." Zhang Yi said.

Unlike in the game, XCOM or anyone else can beat the Chosen Ones to pieces and then teleport them to their respective fortresses and revive with full health after a period of time.

In reality, the psychic stillness treatment rooms in the fortresses of the Chosen Ones are more like high-precision medical devices with a very high treatment threshold.

They have teleportation devices on their bodies that can get them out of danger when they are seriously injured and dying. In reality, most of them are activated manually, although they also have the ability to independently judge the host's life state and teleport autonomously.

But after all, no one really wants to be beaten to the point of losing limbs before being teleported away, right?

"Are Captain Duke and the impaled Space Marine okay?"

"They are all fine. They don't even need much treatment." Father Kadoc turned his attention back to the various weapons in his hands. "Although their armor and bodies were pierced, the size of these weapons is too small for their bodies, and she hasn't applied poison yet."

Zhang Yi looked at the two swords, one long and one short, which were very deadly to humans, and thought about those half-hearted and half-hearted space warriors, who were at least two or three meters tall.

"It's really too small..."

Due to the various monsters and demons in the Warhammer world, the caliber and power of various weapons on the human side are very large.

Even so, these weapons are still not powerful enough when dealing with orcs, demons or other large alien creatures or aliens.

Otherwise, why do you think the people on Zhang Yi's side called the Astra Militarum laser rifle, which can burn a person to a crisp at full power, a 'flashlight'?

The Astra Militarum and some planetary PDFs (Planetary Defense Forces) or Hive Gangs are excellent soldiers in every aspect. For example, in today's battle, only about a hundred people died.

However, in some battlefield battles, they died in large numbers, causing some people to think that they were weak.

But you don’t even look at what kind of ghosts they needed to fight at that time!

Completely unscientific, green fungus that grows larger and harder to kill over time (Orcs)

The former overlord of the galaxy, the creation of the Ancients, able to compete with the Necrons in their heyday, but too suicidal, the pointy-eared alien (Eldar) almost destroyed his entire race.

There are also various monsters (various demons) who, for various reasons, have gained entities from the subspace and run into the real universe.

You can destroy the Leman Russ tank and even the Emperor's Baneblade super-heavy tank. What can the mortal Astra Militarum do?

[It's not that our army didn't try hard, but the other side has Gundam]

Having said that, the strong vitality of Duke and other Space Marines allows them to join the battle again without almost any recuperation, which is very important for the subsequent siege plan.

On the Astra Militarum side, the death toll was not high, almost all of the deaths were caused by Aether and the psychic alien soldiers he led.

There were many injured people, but Zhang Yi and his team had sufficient medical resources, so the problem was not serious.

In the next few days, Zhang Yi needs to decide with XCOM and everyone on his ship about how to capture the city and what the specific details should be, after all, they do not have many troops.

This isn't going to be a quick fix.

"I have a headache~"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Avenger

After Zhang Yi took his troops away and provided the first batch of weapons and equipment, the commander and others drove their own spacecraft away from the original battle site shortly afterwards.

Even with the timely help of Zhang Yi and his troops, the soldiers under their command suffered considerable losses.

At this moment, they parked the spacecraft in a former rebel camp that was abandoned due to the mutant's revenge attack, and began to study the equipment sent and further treat the injured.

Of course, there is also ship repair...

"It's a very thin but very strong armor." In the laboratory, Dr. Taigen looked at the Astra Militarum armor sent by Zhang Yi and his team and said, "For the same type of armor, their armor is far superior to what we and some elders have."

"Can we make a copy?" the quartermaster asked.

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough resources and equipment to try it," said Dr. Teigen. "And even if we did, it would take a lot of time to speculate on the material ratio and production method."

"Keep up the good work, Doc."

After saying that, the quartermaster looked at Shen Lili who was dismantling the battery pack of the Astra Militarum laser gun.

"Their energy storage technology is far superior to the elders in some aspects." Glancing at the quartermaster's arrival, Shen Lili said, while carefully placing the disassembled battery pack in an explosion-proof box. "This battery can support this laser gun for nearly a hundred full-power shots."

"And according to the instructions they provided, even our existing equipment can be charged."

"Do we have enough energy on board?" the quartermaster asked. "I remember that some soldiers' dormitories still don't have electricity."

"We have never been able to obtain enough [transuranic cores], which is why the power of the [Avenger] has not been able to be improved." Shen Lili said. "But they have provided us with a new energy source - promethium."

"I need to determine the conversion rate of this new energy and the best way to use it. Then we can add a promethium power supply area to the Avenger, which can provide a large amount of energy for flight or other systems."

"That sounds good," the quartermaster said. "How much of those strange rituals do you remember?"

At this point, she suddenly stopped.

"I won't learn their 'shaman dance'. Science is science. How can it be mixed with metaphysics?" She obviously scoffed at the series of precautions Zhang Yi told her about being in front of the mechanical priests and their various rituals for machinery. "Burn incense and pray for a gun, and praise it while oiling it? They must be crazy!"

"But from what we've observed, those seals and prayers appear in large numbers on their weapons. This may not be some incomprehensible metaphysics," the quartermaster said. "Perhaps it's just another kind of science that we can't understand at this stage."

"I...ah." Shen Lili also thought about what she had seen before, the pendants on the armor and weapons of the giants, the red stamps, and the strips of cloth with unknown words, and sighed. "I will try to accept it..."

"But! Don't try to make me learn from those... 'Oil Guys'!"

"I won't have a romance with a robot, or even a gun!"

"Absolutely not!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The last joke comes from some fan fiction and jokes, because some members of the Mechanicus regard machines as more important than humans, even to a somewhat neurotic degree, so there is such a joke.

example:

An Astra Militarum was kicking the side armor of a parked Leman Rust tank out of boredom. A Mechanicus member in the tank poked his head out and threw a piece of scrap to signal the Astra Militarum to stop.

Mechanicus: Kick, kick, kick! Kick your head! You are disturbing my wife's sleep!

27. Preparation for Siege (Part )

Ｔ市

As the first country to submit to the elders and one of the first cities to be ruled and transformed by the elders, a comprehensive curfew is now being implemented.

The appearance of Zhang Yi, the Astra Militarum, and the Space Marines put the elders under great pressure. After losing almost all psychic communication satellites and suffering the first defeat in the battle, the elders had to act with caution.

This time their enemies are no longer beings that can be easily defeated...

All the Astra Militarum soldiers were taken back to the ship for treatment and repair. The huge [Moon-class Cruiser] floated above the planet's high-altitude orbit, like a [Sword of Damocles] hanging over the elders' heads.

The troops began to re-plan their deployment, the number of people required for semi-compulsory conscription began to skyrocket, and the previously rare UFOs also began to form groups and frequently appeared over multiple cities.

The Elders are sending out as many troops as possible to maintain their rule over the Earth and the humans on it.

They had no desire, and no need, to fight this unknown enemy that suddenly appeared, because as long as they could complete the [Incarnation Plan], they could immediately pack up and leave, leaving this dilapidated world where no human beings could survive to Zhang Yi and his group.

However, neither the rebels nor Zhang Yi and his men would give him this opportunity.

In the cover of night, the Elders' proclamation man was recounting the elders' kindness towards humanity over and over again, and denouncing the resistance army's stubbornness and the "cruelness" of the newly emerged Zhang Yi and others, just as always.

Several [Reapers] sneaked in the night, bypassing patrolling mutant soldiers, guard towers, and fixed defense turrets, and recorded the routes in the city as detailed as possible.

"This is the Firefly team. We have discovered the psychic network transmission device here, but there are a lot of guards nearby and we can't get close."

"This is Team Raven. We have received the message. We have arrived at the designated location and can start the Bug Bait Plan."

"This is the Viper Squad, confirm the retreat route, all units begin action!"

boom!

At a checkpoint near a heavily guarded building housing a psychic network transmission device, a car suddenly exploded, and before the patrolling mutant soldiers could react, they were knocked down by bullets that came from nowhere.

A guard tower on the driveway was blown down and hit a mutant riot vehicle, destroying it.

The defenders defending the psychic network transmission device responded immediately, and a small number of soldiers and MEC robots rushed towards the direction of the explosion.

At this moment, a riot broke out in another direction - an entire group of mutant soldiers patrolling the street were ambushed by the soldiers of the God of Death and the entire army was wiped out. A large number of resistance forces then appeared and began to rush the checkpoint.

The defenders were divided again and rushed towards the location of the riot.

Although there are still many guards defending the psychic network transmission device and the building where it is located, some of them have been transferred away.

A loophole appeared in the originally tight defense, and a [Death] soldier entered through it.

"Original, Heavy MEC, Mutant..." Through the optical telescope, he observed the location of the control room of the psychic network transmission device and the defenders along the way. "There is even an [Aether]..."

"Our new allies put a lot of pressure on them..."

He did not try to get to the control room by passing through the guards along the way, but instead came to the huge, weakly defended psychic network transmission device.

This huge device made of unknown metal is used to transmit psychic signals, link and transmit information to the psychic network. It is very strong and it is difficult to destroy it with the weapons in the hands of the rebels at this stage.

It is basically impossible to blow up this thing with a limited volume and equivalent of portable explosives, and the sturdiness of this device is beyond human imagination.

However, they can make the elders think that the human resistance wants to destroy this thing...

"All X4 explosives have been deployed. The 'decoy' can withdraw."

"receive."

Like a shadow, the Death God soldiers left the building, and a huge explosion occurred shortly afterwards.
