Chapter 702 The peach pickers are coming

“Let’s not deploy the Sisters of Silence yet.”

Fu Qinghai walked quickly and ordered:

“Unless the beast appears ."

"Okay, Khan"

The attendants, covered in gunpowder smoke and blood, followed.

In the original novel of "Beast Wars", it was not until the last expedition to Ullanor that the Human Empire discovered that the Sisters of Silence could influence the Psycho Boy to eliminate orcs in batches. All the previous battles were almost a war of attrition against the orcs. It was not until the last battle, the decisive battle within the decisive battle, that all the orcs were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Now that he has mastered this method in advance and summoned the exiled Sisters of Silence scattered in the galaxy in advance, Fu Qinghai does not intend to send them to the battlefield immediately.

Although in terms of setting, this is a loophole engraved in the genes of the orcs, which cannot be avoided no matter what means the orcs take. It is not because of the existence of Sister Silence that the nervous boy loses control of his spiritual energy, but because it is easy for the nervous boy to lose control of his spiritual energy. Sister Silent just takes advantage of this and uses the soulless force field to accelerate the process.

However, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

If the Human Empire uses this method now, it can certainly eliminate the orcs on the Battle Moon in batches, but if the Sisters of Silence are deployed in advance, the beasts as far away as the Ullanor Base Camp will be on guard - no matter how they plan to guard against it, let them get there in advance. The enemy knows his trump card, which is always not a good thing for a war.

For this battle moon above Terra, fourteen Astartes Chapters, ten regiments of skitarii, and five knight families are more than enough, as long as the gravity of the battle moon is broken Storm, even without Sister Silence, should be able to win reliably. Fu Qinghai planned to keep Sister Silence, a powerful weapon, in Ullano for use in the decisive battle.

“Khan, the Imperial Fist has found the gate.”

Hermit Chief Tristan’s voice sounded on the channel:

“Currently talking to the orcs guarding the gate. Fighting.”

"Has the beast appeared?"

Fu Qinghai asked the question he was most concerned about.

“Not found yet.”

Tristan replied.

Why didn’t the beast appear this time?

Fu Qinghai raised his right arm and looked at the holographic projection projected by the auspicious device integrated on the arm armor. Most of the internal structure of the Battle Moon has been outlined, and there are not many unexplored blank areas. The cave in the middle has the largest space.

"The battle will end within an hour."

Fu Qinghai lowered his arm and ordered.

"Roger that, Khan."

All the company commanders in the channel replied in unison.

Heavy footsteps accompanied by the tremor of the passage rang in his ears. At the top of the passage excavated at will by the orcs, natural stones, simple ceilings and ventilation ducts were breaking and falling. Several three- to four-meter-tall robots squeezed in.

Fu Qinghai looked back.

The passage is obscured by huge figures standing shoulder to shoulder.

"I obey your orders, Qingshan Khan."

A message popped up in the eyepiece retina interface.

The Intelligent Control Corps sent by the Foundry Commander is here!

The Intelligent Control Legion is also called the Cybertronica Battle Robot Legion. As the first forging world, Mars has the most complete models in the Intelligent Control Corps. In the passage, in addition to the approximately human-shaped fortress-type intelligent control robots, the fortress-type intelligent control robots, and the domita-type intelligent control robots, there are also strangely shaped vulture-type intelligent control robots and greedy-type intelligent control robots. Mechas, as for the death-class intelligent control mechas, large siege intelligent control mechas that are the same size as knight mechas may not be able to squeeze into this passage.

“Hello, Archibald, Archbishop of the battlefield.”

Fu Qinghai responded in the communication channel.

He recognized the source of the message. It was a specially modified Dom-type intelligent control robot. The intelligent control core was removed and replaced with the biological brain and intelligent core of a certain technical priest. , allowing him to temporarily transform into an intelligent robot, and join the team to personally command other intelligent robots on the battlefield.

This special position is called "Battlefield Commander".

Kubik said that he would hand over an intelligent control corps to Fu Qinghai’s command, but in fact, each of the mechanized battalions that make up the intelligent control corps has a military priest in charge of the command, and It is equipped with dedicated machine servants and intelligent digital craftsmen responsible for maintenance. Fu Qinghai can at most give orders to the technical priests who accompany the army. The specific actions of the soldiers are not actually under his control.

"Seven mechanized brigades have been deployed."

The tone of the technical priest seemed to be urging.

“Immediately attack the alien subspace portal we marked on the map and paralyze it.”

Fu Qinghai immediately issued the order.

"We will launch an attack on that subspace portal, but I disagree with your combat plan."

But the answer I heard was inconsistent with expectations.

"...What do you mean?"

Fu Qinghai turned around and looked at the large group of intelligent control robots behind him, his eyes locked on one of the multi-meter tower intelligent control robots. The Terminator Guards also turned around.

"Your plan pursues efficiency and strives to destroy this battle moon in the shortest possible time, which is commendable. However, according to the agreement reached between the Foundry Commander and you, we need to recover the alien technology on the battle moon. Your combat plan should Make sure that these technological creations are not so damaged that they completely lose the value of recovery and restoration."

The intelligent control robot looked down at him.

Said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

None of the Imperial Fists questioned my battle plan.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Between the giant pillar-like steel legs of the intelligent control robot, you can vaguely see some busy figures in red robes. The technical priest is directing the servitors to dismantle and pack away the surrounding machines and pipes and cables—— The battle is not over yet, the Mechanicum has begun to recycle the orc technological creations.

Afraid that someone will take away a piece of tatters?

This eating scene is a bit too ugly.

“Of course, this is part of the agreement.”

Fu Qinghai nodded slowly, then turned his head to the neck armor and ordered to the full channels of the two legions:


"All Space Marines, give up the forward positions and leave the cave deep in the battle moon to the Martian army."

"What? Repeat it?"

"Qingshan, what is this? What do you mean?”

“We need more explanations, Qingshan”

“We killed three companies there!”

The communication channel suddenly rang with stunned inquiries, dissatisfied questions and angry curses. The chapter leaders of the two different legions were all extremely puzzled by this order.

"I repeat it again."

Fu Qinghai stared closely at the intelligent control robot, tilted his head slightly and continued to order to the communication channel:

"I am Qingshan Khan. All Space Marines will withdraw from the forward formation immediately after hearing the order. Rest and wait in place until new orders are issued. The Skitarii, the Intelligent Control Corps and the Knight Family have landed, leaving the rest of the battle to them."

After that, I no longer care about the communication channel. There was a noisy sound, and he looked up at the special mech in the mecha group:

"As you wish, sage."

"The God of All Opportunities bless you, Qingshan Khan."

Archibald, the Archbishop of the battlefield, said:
< br>"You are worthy of the skull and gears on your shoulders."

After saying that, the Intelligent Control Corps moved forward again.

There was a rumble and tremor in the passage again.

The two Space Marine legion fleets withstood the most powerful gravity storm weapon of Battle Moon and withstood the largest wave of casualties. After successfully landing on the surface and paralyzing the gravity weapon, they had to take the honor of conquering Battle Moon. And the harvest was given away to others, to the Adeptus Mechanicus who came to pick peaches?

No chapter leader would be able to accept this kind of thing. However, the White Scars' sub-group immediately withdrew from the forward position after receiving the order, leaving the deepest cave to the arriving Mechanicus troops. In the end, the Space Marines on the high wall were hesitant and were waiting for the direct order from Legion Commander Kurland. Should they fight or withdraw? The Space Marines of the Black Templars complained the most, but after careful consideration, Bosmond also chose to carry out this order.

Fu Qinghai looked at the intelligent control army advancing past him towards the depths of the battle moon, and silently pondered in his heart:

Phaeton Forge World currently only has two types of intelligent control robots: the greedy eagle type intelligence The Controller, also known as the Voltarax Intelligent Controller, is the predecessor of the Plague Drone, STC. Captured from the Zerath Space Station; the Fortress-type intelligent robot, also known as the Castellan intelligent robot, commonly known as "Baymax", the technology comes from Master Quinto, which is the most widely used by the Mechanicum. Many sages have chosen Castellan's intelligent robots as personal bodyguards, which are stronger and more reliable than armed servitors.

Mars has almost all models of intelligently controlled robots.

And this may be the last time we see these models.

After passing this village, there is no such store.

Because during the Horus Heresy, the major forge worlds were also in civil war. Both warring parties made bottom-line modifications and breakthroughs in the control programs of intelligent robots. As a result, many loyal forge worlds generally believed that intelligent robots were controlled after the war. The control robots are "technical heretics". A large number of design blueprints of many intelligent control robots have been destroyed, leaving only the oldest and most stable Castellan intelligent control robots. In other words, there may be only one model of Castellan among the intelligent control legion of the Mechanicum in the 40K period.

“I want to get this intelligent control army.”

Fu Qinghai seemed to be whispering to himself:

"What can you do?"

"Give me some time, Master."

Qing Ming's voice came first Ringing:

"The control code of the intelligent cortex of each intelligent robot under the military priest's command is different, and there is a killing code similar to a firewall. It will take me some time to break through."


"I don't need time, Master."

Another voice sounded in the bottom of my heart:

"I can immediately possess and control these half-mechanical and half-biological things, and completely silently. Not being aware of it is my strength and talent. Qing Ming has never seen this kind of thing. It's a silicon-based life. Does she understand what the Intelligent Cortex is? Even if she understands it, how can she ensure that the intelligent digital craftsmen and technical priests will not be alerted during the breakthrough process? "

"I guess someone is there? You are talking bad about me now.”

Qing Ming said calmly in the private channel:

"Some disgusting purple plasticine."

"You are the plasticine."

A dark purple twisted little face bulged on the side of Fu Qinghai's cheek, facing the neck armor The communication channel retorted:

“You are worse than plasticine. You don’t even have a body. It’s a bunch of data codes that used scheming tricks to create a body for itself, and now it’s suddenly crazy? What qualifications do you have to laugh at me?”

In Fu Qinghai’s retina screen? , an emoticon composed of small pixel dots that expresses ridicule immediately pops up:

"Haha, the master has forgiven me. What are you blaming here? Nosy Sanba. You always claim to be a high-dimensional creature. You are a piece of garbage that can't survive without parasitizing others. I'm much more advanced than you. It’s more useful than you!”

“Okay, okay, An Jing”

Fu Qinghai said helplessly.

Although Qingming Qinghun bickered every day, they did come up with some key information points worth noting:

In the previous civil wars of the Mechanicus, killing codes were used to seize The other party's intelligent control of the robot's control rights, or disrupting the opponent's intelligent control of the robot's control program, causing the robot to kill indiscriminately without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy. Cases of killings exist, so Qingming breaks through the firewall to seize the intelligent cortex controller through electromagnetic signals, which is a traditional route. The Mechanicum is guarded against this route. Even if Qingming, as a super artificial intelligence, has a superior technical level, it will be difficult to do so. Ensure that this process is "quiet" enough and will not alert the technical priests and intelligent digital craftsmen.

After all, I haven't completely broken up with Mars yet.

Both sides are still nominally friendly units.

But Qinghun is different. Qinghun is a symbiosis, and it is an extremely rare symbiosis that can parasitize electronic machinery. It does not hack through electromagnetic signals, but directly absorbs and integrates into it, and then Based on the strength of the host's mental will, it is decided who has the dominant control over the body.

Qinghun may not necessarily be able to control the body of a technical priest, because it is not certain whether the technical priest's mental will is strong or not. But there is no suspense in controlling an intelligent robot. Because of the Crimson Protocol's restrictions on silicon-based artificial intelligence, the intelligent cortex of the intelligent robot is actually bio-organic plastic as a "brain-like", and bionic gray matter tendrils as "brain-like" "Neural" control structure, the level of intelligence that this intelligent control cortex can provide can be approximated by a beast AI that is good at hunting and fighting - controlling a beast puts no pressure on Qinghun.

“What if we control an intelligent robot?”

Qing Ming poured cold water on Qing Hun's method:

"Control it to break away from the intelligent control legion, and then swagger into our team? Can the oil guys agree? Isn't this obvious and Mars? Are you going to break up?”

“Indeed, we may need an opportunity.”

Fu Qinghai raised his chin and pondered.

……

At this time, the battle moon is deep.

The orcs dug and built three wide spiral tunnels with a diameter of hundreds of meters, leading to the subspace portal deep in the battle moon, which were used to transport large equipment and materials.

Only these three wide passages can allow the Knight mecha to pass through. The Space Marines originally sent out a few armored vehicles from each battle group to confront the Ork armor forces in the passages. Now they are gradually withdrawing The forward position left the battlefield to the approaching knight mechas and intelligent control mechas.

"The Taranis family, the first spearhead, is already in place."

The knight pilot in the mecha said.

He sat in the mechanical throne, surrounded by complex machine components and fluorescent screens. He lowered his head and looked down, and the detectors and sensors on the mecha's mechanical skull moved downward simultaneously. He saw the Space Marine standing on the roof of the tank. The expression on his face did not seem very friendly.

The knight pilot ignored it and raised his head and continued to control the Furious River Knight to move forward. He crossed the temporary stacked bunkers and the trenches dug by the orcs in one step. These obstacles could not stop the knight at all. Moving forward, the Land Raider and Predator tanks next to us look so dwarfed.

"The second spearhead is already in place."

The voices of other pilots sounded from the communication channel.

“The third spearhead is already in place.”

The tall and broad knight mechas led their thin and agile squire knights, passed through the temporary defensive positions constructed by the Space Marines, continued walking towards the depths of the battle moon, and successively arrived at the planned attack site. In other smaller passages, skitarii and intelligent robots were also in place.

"Launch the attack."

The ruling sage conveyed his orders directly to all the chief knights, intelligent digital craftsmen and Skitarii Alpha on the front line in the form of thought messages. The army of the God of All Machines began to speed up their attacks towards the depths of these passages.

"Waaaaagh——"

At the same time, the orcs almost physically cleared away the cluster mines placed in the passage by the Space Marines when they retreated, and the limping greenskin holding a big gun The boys and the battle trucks with crooked tracks and tattered tracks swarmed out amid the noise.

"First spear point, follow me to attack."

The chief knight skillfully gave the order to attack. The Nu River Knight stumbled heavily, and a large amount of waste heat was sprayed out from the exhaust pipe. The mechanical legs continued to update. He strode forward at a fast speed, his left arm exploding The burning evil light shot out a red beam wrapped in multiple rings of red aperture. It swept across and instantly ignited the rows of orcs, turning them into running human-shaped torches. Then it swung the hundred-arm siege claw on its right arm, easily He picked up a combat truck and overturned it violently.

“Too weak, these greenskins.”

Four Ranger Knights followed behind the Nu River Knights. They passed the Nu River Knights from both sides with fast steps, waving the Reaper Chain. Use saw swords and thunder fists to cut or smash the bouncing murder cans, and then set up heavy logging guns and melt cannons to mow down or melt hordes of orcs.

“I really don’t know why they took so long to fight.”

The knight pilot still had time to say while operating.

"They" obviously refers to the Space Marines.

With knight mechas and intelligent control mechas as the main force, and ten regiments of skitarii as auxiliaries, the Mechanicus soon continued to push the front inward, advancing to the deepest part of the battle moon. The cave, the Space Marines also hit here for a time, but shrank back under the orders of Qingshan Khan.

After the fastest advancing team of knight mechas entered the cave, they immediately saw the green fire gate in the center of the cave. The four to five hundred meter high alien creation was shaking unsteadily in the violent energy fluctuations. , the white light kept flashing, and batch after batch of orc boys appeared on the platform howling.

“Discover the target and confirm the target.”

A broadsword attendant walking at the front said, while all sensors and detectors were scanning the green fire gate and transmitting the scanned information back to the Mechanical Ark.

"No units are allowed to attack the target until the Tech-Priests have collected sample information related to the target."

Soon an order was sent back from the Mechanic Ark, requesting the Mechanicum's army We protect this green fire gate.

The knight mecha and the intelligent control mecha used their ferocious pouring firepower and sturdy steel bodies to wipe out the orcs in the cave, but did not destroy any ancillary facilities around the gate. The center of the burning green fire door lit up with white light again, and a giant figure emerged in the white light.

“Watch out, the Ork Titan units are coming.”

The chief knight reminded in a calm and calm tone:

"The second spear point, the third spear point, line up."

Several knight mechas quickly moved forward to form a formation.

Just as they were waiting, the white light in the gate dissipated, and then a giant tomahawk, as big as an excavator bucket, flew out of the dissipated white light and hit the front row of knights right in the face. With a huge explosion that stung the eardrums, the tomahawk instantly split open the top hatch of the knight and embedded itself in the cabin.

“Is this!?”

The chief knight's eyes widened.

The Knight Errant had stood still, no matter how his companions called on the communication channel, black engine oil and red plasma slowly poured out from the cracked gap.

"Roar——"

The "Orc Titan unit" roared up to the sky, then lowered its body and swung its arms and rushed towards the knight mecha. Its full appearance appeared on the scene. In the sight of all the knight pilots:

The height of more than ten meters is as wide as a city wall, and the body is covered with layers of steel plates. The armor plates collide with each other and make harsh noises. They run at full speed like the roar of a train. Come.

"Bang!"

A Jealous Knight was overturned in an instant.

The "Orc Titan Unit" waved the huge claws on its arms and cut off a slender Ring Attendant at the waist, and then rolled over with incredible agility and flexibility to avoid the attack from the side. With two reaper chain swords, he stood up and grabbed the peak impact spear of the Lancer Knight next to him, and stabbed the spear into the chest of the other Styx Knight with his backhand.

It was only then that everyone could see the details clearly.

It's not an Orc Titan unit at all.

But a super giant orc!

"Waaaaaagh——"

More orcs burst out of the green fire gate.

With scarlet bloodthirsty eyes and bulging green muscles, he rushed into the red-robed soldiers at the feet of the knight mecha, and collided face to face with the Skitarii. .

The Mechanicum's army fell into chaos in the blink of an eye. The formation of knight mechas was shattered to pieces, and even the tall intelligent control mechas were submerged by the green tide.

Outside the cave, a servo skull floated in the air, its red electronic eyes calmly scanning everything below, and transmitting all these images back to the field command center.

“Isn’t the opportunity coming soon?”

Fu Qinghai stared at the picture on the screen and whispered. …………
