Chapter 454, Virtual Rat Life
The expansion of the empire is on the fast track. One planet after another, a larger territory, in the unobstructed subspace passages, these can be accomplish.
It is a very wise thing to explore the vast physical universe that seems to be forever unreachable.
Plunder, this is always the fastest and most convenient way.
A gluttonous feast, everything can be obtained in this unscrupulous plunder and conquest.
Technology, resources, all kinds of novel pets, and livable planets.
Of course, it was not always so smooth. The Rat Empire also encountered some troubles during its expansion, but in the end, these troubles were resolved.
The equally powerful cosmic empire, the rat people have encountered powerful enemies more than once, but in the end, these powerful enemies were defeated by the rising rat empire.
Admittedly, several of the Ratmen's victories relied on trickery, based on the abuse of Soul Scream. The Ratmen discovered another function of Soul Scream, which is also difficult to achieve. Neglected shortcomings.
The use of Soul Scream will deepen the connection between the physical universe and subspace in this area, and weaken the connection between the two worlds. At the same time, it can also disrupt the subspace in this area. Let it completely fall into disorder and chaos.
When dealing with a cosmic empire that was covered in carapace and was extremely good at energy weapons and shield technology, the rat people were retreating steadily. Finally, they relied on the scream of sand souls to completely disrupt the subspace order on the periphery of the rat empire. The extremely terrifying scale of the physical universe has forcibly imprisoned this universe empire.
To put it simply, the Rat People cut off the Internet for these Crab People in the subspace. The subspace connected to the physical universe where the Crab People exist was directly blasted by the Rat People with their soul screams. Became a local area network.
These crab people have not been defeated or erased from the physical universe, but how can I put it, in that extremely rigorous physical universe, if they do not use the power of subspace, then they want to move towards The outside world dispatched a fleet. When this fleet encountered the Rat Empire again, it might be thousands of years later.
What's more, these crab people may not be able to crawl out of this extremely broad physical universe.
Just like this, a powerful race with unlimited potential that left its home planet to create a cosmic empire was locked up in a dark room.
This way of exit is really too frustrating. In fact, during the expansion of the rat people, they encountered many unbeatable universe empires and were locked up in small black rooms like this. The crab people are not the first victims. .
After all, they are indeed arrogant and can directly bomb the enemy with ether bombs. Yes, Soul Scream can be called an ether bomb in a strict sense.
It’s just that such abuse is not without problems. The most obvious issue that needs to be considered is the rapid consumption of ether crystals. Genuine ether crystals are non-renewable energy sources. The death comet has been officially declared The mining has been exhausted, and the Soul Moon is so small that it is about to fall out of the satellite category.
After all, this gift will not be boundless and inexhaustible.
Perhaps the aimless expansion has temporarily stopped. The Rat Empire has expanded a bit too exaggeratedly during this period.
This year marks the 700th anniversary of the Skaven leaving their home planet.
They have occupied one hundred and twenty galaxies, with nearly two hundred colonial planets, and their territory has reached an unimaginable extent.
But it must be admitted that they are still too small for this universe. The territory currently occupied by the rat people is only most of the edge area of one of the four cantilevers of the galaxy. The outermost area of the space cantilever composed of countless planets, celestial bodies, and cosmic dust is dyed with its own color.
The physical universe is really vast to an unimaginable extent.
Conquest and expansion are still continuing. The Rat Empire is prosperous. As the area they control becomes larger and larger, and their technology continues to improve, this war lasts for almost five hundred years. During the golden age of 2000, Skaven engineers captured a terrifying sight.
They have warned the rat emperor sitting on the throne more than once.
In the center of the physical universe, chaos is unbearable. An unspeakable disaster is evolving and will continue to expand. The rat people currently have no possibility of resisting this disaster. If they are affected, according to the This group of rat engineers predicted that the rat people would be wiped away as easily as a broken soap bubble.
We must respond, we must respond!
This group of rat engineers, they yelled like crazy, constantly emphasizing the horror of this disaster.
There is just one question. When you ask them when this disaster will affect the rat people, the answer they give is, ten thousand years later...
Okay, okay, this is such a critical number, so unimaginably scary.
The process of the Rats going into space has only lasted for more than seven hundred years, or ten thousand years. This is an unimaginable number for them.
This is so unimaginable.
About fourteen seven hundred years.
However, it does not seem that there is no need to be on guard. After all, it is only about fourteen seven hundred years.
Rat engineers have continuously modified and upgraded the set of transformation surgeries over the past five hundred years. Using the Dragon of Life as the original source, this set of technology has changed a lot compared to the rough prototype at the beginning. .
The most obvious point is that the transformed object is less and less like a rat man, but a brand new thing that has nothing to do with the rat man.
Powerful strength, swift speed, nerve reaction speed that is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary ratmen, and of course, the most precious and long lifespan.
In short, this group of rat engineers used the Dragon of Life to create a completely deformed and completely controllable aberration.
This complete control allows these modified ratmen to break the genetic restrictions on life.
Infinite life, immortality, this ability beckons to the rat people again. This is definitely the second most powerful achievement that rat people engineers have worked out in the past five hundred years.
The first most powerful thing is the birth of the rat prophet.
I just don’t know if this immortality will bring a curse to the rat people.
With this idea, immortality no longer seems to be a problem. For the rat engineers, they control the distortion of life. From another perspective, they also use this completely controllable The distortion completely freezes the length of life.
Use the controllable distortion to store body data, and then restore the changed parts at all times.
In this way of thinking, the rat people were the first to achieve immortality. All rat people can fix their bodies to a certain moment, and they will not age any more until they die.
What a wonderful thing this is, but what annoys you is that they achieved immortality but failed to achieve immortality.
Even if they have eternally young bodies, the rat people will always die suddenly at a certain node, which is puzzling. In order to understand why, the rat people engineers began My own attempt.
The first proposed direction is the burning of the brain. Just like fixing the state of the body, they also used controllable distortion to completely fix the state of the brain. Of course, this is not a particularly humane technology. For the fixation of the brain and the refreshing of it every period of time, this This will lead to a situation where the subject's memory is completely fixed on the day of refresh.
With each recovery, the memory is lost and the brain returns to its youthful state, which means being trapped in the same day forever.
This is a very scary prison, but it can indeed prolong your survival time.
In an unknown laboratory in the Ratman Empire.
At this time, such an experiment is underway.
This is an observation experiment, and all the guys in the base are experimental subjects.
A group of rat engineers wearing white coats were observing and recording an experimental subject.
This is a young rat-man boy who has experienced almost two hundred refreshments.
Two hundred years ago, the moment he walked out of the college gate, he was taken to this laboratory. Two hundred years later, his life was forever fixed in Two hundred years ago.
Every year, the rat engineers would erase his memory and put him back into a new reincarnation.
In order to observe the emergence of variables, everything he experienced in the past two hundred years was not an empty repetition, but a completely different experience every year.
Some are that he became a rat engineer, some are that he joined the army, some are that he accomplishes nothing, and some are that he encounters happiness.
In this way, he was observed.
Year after year has passed, until now.
This guy is owned by the rat engineers and has lasted the second longest time in this observation experiment.
Two hundred years, this is already more than three times the natural lifespan of the rat people. Perhaps they can really gain immortality through such a refresh.
The life assigned to Experiment No. 2 this year is to be a self-made rat businessman.
In one year, under the arrangements of these rat-man engineers, he completed a series of processes from starting from scratch to becoming a big rat-man businessman. In the observation room, you can see him wearing a helmet , sitting on a cold chair and waving his arms.
Well, in order to save money, the rat engineers also started to use the virtual reality technology of the gerbils. After all, giving the experimental subject a helmet and a host computer is much better than giving it a real one. It takes a lot less effort to build a real scene.
A large screen was installed on the wall of the cold laboratory like this. Behind the poor experimental subject wearing a helmet, the screen reflected the appearance of this poor egg, but the figure on the screen He is not the poor guy sitting in the cold laboratory, but seems to be a real big rat businessman.
…………,
From the top floor of a high-rise building with a wide view, you can easily overlook the entire rat city. Not only that, if you raise your head slightly, you can also clearly observe the space port hanging high in the sky.
This is already a pretty good position, and the person who holds it will undoubtedly not be an ordinary character.
In fact, this penthouse suite was bought just a month ago by a very arrogant rat businessman. What is even more shocking is that this arrogant rat businessman The NPC businessman is still an extremely young guy.
At this time, the young ratman businessman was sitting in his suite, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and looking at everything he had in front of him comfortably.
Who would have thought that such a young rat-man businessman who could make the city governor lower his head was just a young rat-man boy who had just walked out of school a year ago.
He is also a young rat boy who is extremely failed and seems to have no future.
To be honest, when he just walked out of school a year ago, he was very confused. He had no family background, no background, the college he attended was not strong, and he had no talent for machinery or technology. He once thought about whether he should sign up for interstellar pioneering, conquer the unknown planet, and gain a relatively decent life in a new world.
Who can think of it?
This is only one year, just like a dream, no, not even a year has come, there are still six days left before a complete year, 306 days, he is here In three hundred days, I almost had everything at once.
Wealth, power, a transport fleet of his own, status, and yes, a very beautiful rat lady.
Picking up the wine glass in his hand, the beautiful and tall rat lady quickly walked over.
Respectful words sounded.
"Great Roland, tailor, great rat merchant, do you have any instructions?"
Roland, tailor, great rat merchant, Roland, tailor, this is what he inherited. The name, his father, and his family had always been that humble tailor before him, but starting from him, everything was different. The name passed down by their family would start from him, and take the Rat Man with them. The title of businessman.
And it only took him three hundred days to achieve this position, which is six days away from the year.
Shaking the red wine glass in his hand, he said reproachfully to the beautiful rat secretary beside him.
"As I said, there is no need to be so outspoken. You can call me Mr. Roland!"
"Okay! Mr. Roland!"
In this way of calling me , he drank the wine in his hand with satisfaction.
Everything is going so smoothly, there are only six days left in the year, and he has done all this with his own hands.
This big rat businessman who was proud of himself thought so contentedly.
"One year away..."
Involuntarily, he repeated this again, and this time he suddenly felt something was wrong.
“Wait? Why do I keep repeating this?”
