Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

Chapter 89 The function of ashes

When the battleship turned around and evacuated, a beam of light was fired from the front of the heavy cannon, but it was blocked by the cruiser's void shield, and the attack was diverted into the subspace.

Then soon the second beam shot towards the cruiser and was intercepted by the void shield again.

The heavy artillery fired continuously, and the cruiser turned to evacuate. After being hit seven times in a row, the void shield collapsed. The eighth beam directly hit the left side of the ship's hull, sweeping from the stern to the front.

All the weapons on the side of the ship where the beam was swept were destroyed. Everyone on the bridge could clearly feel the tremor of the explosion coming from the lower level, and this was only collateral damage.

The captain immediately issued a series of orders, such as opening the airlock of the affected area to allow the external vacuum environment to extinguish the fire, urging the crew maintaining the void shield to restart the void shield quickly, and asking everyone and slaves on the ship not to gather but to disperse. Avoid being taken away by concentrated fire everywhere, and the most important thing.

Be prepared to enter the warp.

The warship is still flying forward, and the heavy cannons on the satellite are also firing. One beam after another is hitting the hull, until the warship is ready for subspace navigation, and the subspace engine and Geller stand are turned on at the same time. Then quickly fled.

The ball of light condensed by the heavy cannon on the satellite dissipated, and the satellite continued to rotate as a whole, as if it had never been attacked or attacked anyone else.

"Approaching enemy ship detected, self-defense protocol activated."

"Particle light spear charging."

"Charging completed."

"First launch, damage effect: intercepted by void shield."

"..."

In the underground cave of the fortress, Qin Mo quietly watched the images on the screen.

That was a first-person view of the orbital dock, showing the entire process when the orbital dock was attacked. The main control intelligence was responsible for the defense, and it controlled the weapons on the outer shell of the orbital dock.

It was a small particle light spear, originally used to place counterattack orbital bombardments on the planet.

The shield that intercepts the enemy is an energy shield that is completely different from the void shield.

The only thing that Qin Mo found difficult to understand was the disappearance of one torpedo and two macro-cannon shells during the enemy's only attack.

It was like a small defense device had been activated. It had little effect on the entire battle. It didn't matter without it. But the problem was that Qin Mo didn't remember that he had installed a defense device that could make the enemy's attacks disappear.

"Before the energy shield took effect, I detected a subspace reaction." The main control intelligence said.

"Subspace reaction? Could it be that those ashes took effect?" Qin Mo asked with a smile.

"Perhaps." The main control responded intelligently, "In New Cato and various areas of the Lower Nest, commemorating the war dead is a daily must."

Qin Mo lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then thought that it might be the ashes that worked, but now it can only offset very few attacks from the enemy, and it may not make much progress even in the next ten years. .

But that's enough.

"How is the battleship manufacturing going?" Qin Mo asked.

"Thirty percent of the frigate has been manufactured, and 20% of the cruiser has been manufactured. The manufacturing time will be about seventy hours earlier than I previously estimated." The main control intelligence replied.

Qin Mo is very satisfied. He believes that as long as the warship leaves the factory and is controlled by someone, it can launch an attack on Tailong 2.

At that time, a large number of weapons for orbital bombing can be installed on the outer shell of the orbital dock and sent directly to the orbit of Tyron 2. By then, it will be much easier to conquer an entire planet than to attack the upper and lower nests of Tyron's hive.

Qin Mo was relieved and continued to focus on researching weapons that could completely destroy all enemies on Tailong 3.

This is not just about making a big bomb and blowing up the planet. There are only three habitable planets in the Tyrone galaxy, so they can't be blown up unless necessary.

"The crew has almost been selected." The main control intelligence said another thing, "There is a man named Adam, thirty-four years old. He ranks among the best in all tests. His emotions are very stable, which is very important for It is very beneficial to control the battleship to avoid the interference caused by emotional fluctuations."

"Hurry up and arrange training. It is best if they can control the warship immediately after it leaves the factory." Qin Mo ordered.

"Yes." The master responded intelligently.

In the city of New Cato, the bottom nest.

Logistics machinery repair shop.

When the logistics machinery was being repaired, the maintenance engineers gathered together to check the latest war progress.

The fact that the orbital dock drove away an enemy cruiser has not yet spread, but just a series of progress made by the army in the upper nest sewer area is enough to make everyone feel excited.

Grote cheered along with the others when he heard about the progress of the war, but he quickly restrained his excitement.

"Groat, someone is looking for you." A co-worker stepped forward and patted Grote on the shoulder, then pointed to the factory door.

An officer stood there expressionless, staring at Grote as coldly as a statue.

He was an officer but instead of wearing power armor, he wore something like a combat uniform.

"Adam!" Grote immediately walked towards the officer.

The officer named Adam looked at Grote quietly and responded indifferently: "Good afternoon, Grote."

The two have known each other for a long time. During this period, Adam would come to the factory to find Grote whenever he had free time, and then give him some special teachings.

These teachings only concern one thing, and that is to help Grote control his emotions.

The two walked towards the outside of the factory.

On the way, Adam suddenly said: "After I leave, a second person will come to you and continue to teach you how to restrain your emotions."

"Then what are you going to do? The commander of the army has formed a new unit?" Grotton asked in confusion.

"I was selected by the Angels as a battleship crew member, and I will start training soon." Adam said.

This is exciting news. No one wants to be a crew member on a battleship. Grote is happy for Adam from the bottom of his heart, but when Adam himself said the news, he was like a robot and his tone was very dull.

Grote knew that the people in the "Servants" were like Adam. They would restrain their emotions and needs, and they would even sneak out and follow the support machinery when they were arranged to enter the church for entertainment.

"I still don't understand why you want to guide me?" Grote asked.

"Because you were once a guard, but you lost the qualification to become a guard because you are too far away from God. But you are not hopeless." Adam said calmly.

Grote nodded silently. He doesn't really want to get together with the servants, but he is willing to pay any price just to become a guard again, or an ordinary soldier, as long as he doesn't hang around doing nothing in this factory every day. .

"After previous research on you, I think you are too excited in battle. We have specially prepared a venue and a special training plan to help you control your excitement in battle." Adam said.

"Okay, take me there." Grote agreed without hesitation, following Adam behind.
