Chapter 204 Two “Empires”
In explosives and fuel, the Earth clan's Vrerank (Vrerank, one of the titles of the Tau clan, ranked fourth from lowest to highest among Naal, La, Ui, Vre, El, and O, is a mid-level official. ) Officer, Wei, Dicko is studying human "Magic" to calm the restless drones in front of him. He did not admit that the candles and lubricants in his hands could make his children better, but he had to use such technology to experiment whether it could lower his status. Those strange disturbances in the surface (the titanium name for the subspace).
The drone clings to his engineering suit in a humane manner. This guy, who is as smart as a small dog, has high-intensity computing power. In the dark ages of mankind, before the emergence of navigators, computer navigation was one of the mainstream, and even so navigators The family has been suppressed a lot for a while.
Now the navigators of the Empire can sit back and relax, as long as they ignore the energy in the subspace that can crush their heads at any time.
Vi. Dick was stroking his drone at the moment. He was a little reluctant to part with it, but the newly born drone couldn't undertake such a complex combat mission. At the same time, he was also surprised by what humans packed in the ship. In fact, the Tau had more than four thousand Nuclear energy was abandoned years ago.
Even before the Aether unified the Tau, nuclear bombs had already become a corner of history. They knew very well that the changes they would make to the environment would make the world they lived in worse. No matter how fierce the war between the four clans was, no one had ever used nuclear bombs. .
His thoughts were a bit complicated. He was not sure whether humans were worthy allies. At least in his eyes, this race was ridiculously primitive. (Probably second only to green skin)
His thoughts were interrupted until the sound of the specially-made armor of the Thaz'nanites (Tau language, meaning Guards, somewhat similar to Imperial Stormtroopers) stepping on the floor.
When the senior officials of the Shui Clan came here, Wei Dick quickly expressed his respect and asked why one of the four senior officials, who was second only to Ether in the flagship, came here.
"Sir, this place is too dirty, please..."
The higher-ups just nodded in return. "Salute to the workers, Wei, I need you to design the ability of the drones to withdraw and bring back the data. I need you to help me create a special messenger that can travel through the sub-dimensional."
V. Dick was a little nervous. "Impossible, sub-dimensional travel..."
"Our Ji'Visa (the mercenaries of the Tau Empire that humans obey), they have one. I need information from the space that humans call the Supreme Sky." Shui emphasized.
"Because of the Sun Lord? Sir, is what he said right?" V. Dick asked in return.
Shui Shi nodded. "Most of the human history and information we collected are not even as accurate as what he said orally. It's hard to imagine how he could know so many ancient stories as if he had experienced them personally. And relying on his wisdom, we have planned out the aspects of titanium's future exploration. .”
"Artificial Intelligence and the Warp."
"It's really creepy." V. Dick said this. He once experienced the feeling of submerging into the subspace (he once logged into a Chaos battleship that did not activate Geller's position), which he would never forget and left a deep impression on.
Shui nodded. He agreed that it was still too young for the Titanium to explore those things. However, relying on the Imperial Engine, they could hardly see clearly the interference of machinery and the actual recording or description of subspace.
As explorers, it is extremely rare to be so close to humans. In fact, even if they invade this star area, they still use undercurrent drives. The Red Pirates are unwilling to share them with them, and they are far from able to rob civilian ships. Obtain the true subspace engine of the Empire (the speed of civilian ships is about the same as that of the most advanced Tau engines, and they are still crawling).
In other words, they got the engine of a battleship, and it was most likely the wreckage of a battleship that was damaged in the Imperial Guard war. Those Tau were thieves, but for the sake of their empire, they had to take action.
Shui Shi knew that the Sun Lord would not agree to their early involvement in subspace matters. At least in his eyes, humans are not radical. After all, this empire has not made progress for ten thousand years, not to mention that in his eyes, this matter is It's only good for the Tau Empire.
But sometimes things are just the opposite. Alan Bair is happy to see the Tau explore. This is the same choice as the most powerful human civilization in the Dark Ages, and the disregard of the Tau souls for the warp can be part of their rise.
But Titanium is currently destined not to achieve great things, whether in terms of soul, size, or clan, but they have full potential. If Titanium can change the direction of this dark universe, it will be great.
Secondly, there is a high probability that they will fail. Accelerating this process will also allow them to see the power of the subspace in advance, and their weak souls will be beaten by the Chaos Gods. Regardless of which direction, Alan Bair is happy to see it.
It's a pity that the Shui clan has communicated for so long but still hasn't seen the true nature of the Sun Lord. It's not even clear that Tau's biggest enemy is him, because knowledge is both a treasure and a poison.
Alan Bayer is very concerned about the self-destruction actions of these noseless people. If these noseless people open their mouths, he may just dismantle the entire battleship that is about to be retired for them to play with, but they still can't understand the light spear and void guard. If he doesn't have such high technology as shields and expresses contempt for Hong Kong and automatic cannons, then there's nothing he can do about it.
At the same time, in the Forge Governor's office, the Sun Lord was looking at the tactical tablet, which broadcast the situation inside the fire attack ship.
"Are they stupid, talking about this on our ship?" Alan Bayer had to complain that his allies might have something wrong with their heads. Do they really regard human beings as primitive people?
The Foundry Governor controlled the internal equipment and answered in an emotionless voice. "Sun Lords, they can't recognize the difference between the skull equipment. After all, in their eyes, the empire's religious equipment and the actually useful gadgets all look the same. They are really stupid aliens."
Alan Bair actually couldn't recognize it, but it wasn't a big problem. He was quite interested in seeing how those fishermen witnessed the subspace. In fact, during this period, the so-called human auxiliaries who joined them were all loyalists of the Imperial Guard. .
Secondly, for the Tau, external contact is an indispensable opportunity, and it is also for the Empire. During this period, the Tau intelligence has been stolen to the Empire. For example, in the fourth expansion, the Tau Empire saw the subspace projection of the Greater Good. this matter.
It is recorded that it has many arms, a huge subspace phantom, looks like ether, and wears an emotionless humanoid mask. At the same time, it is different from most of the physical characteristics of those of titanium. Instead, except for its skin color, its appearance is more similar to humans.
In the end, the high-ranking commander of the Tau Fire Caste who witnessed the "Greater God" ended his crazy "fantasy" with the words "We have no gods". Even though this scene will still accompany him in the next few days and months. The fleet members meditated for a long time.
Facts have proved that Titanium not only has their own subspace projection, but has also successfully turned it into a religious manifestation of the Greater Good. Next, Titanium needs to know how to serve this god, or find another way...< br>
The war between humans and Tau will not stop because of the Tau alliance. The intelligence here will become the core of victory in the Damocles area, and soon, Commander Qi Fan will send people back with those things to backstab the empire's "alliance" .
In general, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows. This confrontation also ends with the victory of the empire. After all, it is the empire that gets the intelligence and feeds back the war zone. Although the expansion of the Tau stardom is fierce, compared with other empires As an enemy, Titanium can be considered mild.
At this point, the fire attack ship is on its way, and this little episode ends here. In the illusory subspace, the imperial warship did not open the Geller position in order to maintain the computer's capabilities. At the same time, the titanium also moved to collect subspace data. Not required to be turned on.
Hundreds of old Imperial civilian ships were painted with the livery of the Imperial Navy and were roaming in the darkest and most terrifying subspace in the universe. Following the trajectory provided by the traitors, the spacecraft detectors and powerful computing power integrated the most suitable information. Road, but without the coordinates of the Star Torch's light, any subspace storm will cause this team to deviate and never come back.
This is the fundamental advantage of the navigator. Computers and even experienced sailors can undertake fixed subspace channel transportation for a period of time. However, once there is the slightest accident, the command of a psyker and the light of the star torch are necessary to determine the path.
And as the traitor said, the subspace is very stable at the moment, and this path is even more so, just like the normal universe. The beautiful chaotic nebulae and the strange sense of distance even make this universe more beautiful than the physical universe. It’s just that if you see too much, people’s The soul may not be saved.
As the ship sailed forward, the calculator beeped, seemingly normal, but suddenly the ship began to tremble slightly.
The detector looked at the periphery, and saw strange predators floating in the purple illusion of the supreme sky. Those things were not living things, but they looked very much like living things, greedy, and some of them were as big as a frigate. (About sixty meters)
They cheered and cheered around the Imperial battleship, but they did not look like animals. To be precise, they should be Tau people, but they were winged and naked. Their bodies were slender and twisted, and their heads seemed to have spines dragging them, as if their heads were torn out by the arms of Space Marines. Yes, the mummy of the fire warrior who is still alive is swimming in the void, magnified 100 times as if his arms were growing leather wings.
The void cannot transmit their voices, but it is conceivable that the sound of that thing is absolutely beautiful. After all, the ferocious screaming face is unforgettable.
And their individuals are also different, some have tentacles, some have slender heads, some have abdominal dissection, some have horns, some have rows of sharp teeth, and some have Wielding sharp blades that looked like silver fragments from the void... They were so weird.
The drones are now showing subspace resistance that far exceeds that of mortal bodies. Unlike most people's concept that electronic devices are easily corrupted, the reality is that AIs are extremely resistant to the filth of chaos, even many AIs from the Dark Ages. It was floating in the subspace until the real universe appeared in recent years, but it is still normal.
On the contrary, the polishing and consumption of many AIs over time has made those powerful machines crazy, and the decline in computing power and aging of the hardware are even more poisonous.
At this moment, those monsters began to use their claws and fangs to tear away the shells of the imperial civilian ships. Considering that the fire attack ships were very weak, the drones activated the automatic close-in defense guns of the imperial ships, and the roaring firelight flickered in the silent subspace.
But something that is enough to tear flesh and blood has no effect on those things that look like living things. It can even be said to be completely useless. It only makes their bodies shake a little, and even some extremely powerful ones don't need to shake.
The drones had little wisdom to recognize the smell of failure, so they started to activate their own escape system and execute what the Tau had designed in advance, but at the same time, a ray of light appeared.
The light is different from most lights, but cold, silvery, suffocating, no, to be precise, it suffocates the aliens. Under those silvery lights like burning flames, the interstellar warriors burning like skeletons come out of nowhere. Come.
They move in the void as if they are not living creatures but a group of demons, while pumping the bolters in their hands to burn and kill the demons...
Those guns seemed to have no end, the bullets kept spraying, spraying, and there were still flames on the warheads, like the messengers of hell in human mythology.
But those demon-like things were protecting this operation, until all the struggling and twisted monsters were burned away by the flames. In the end, only a mess was left. The battleship group could move forward. At this moment, the drones wanted to record more information about those strange warriors. , but only saw the abnormal bright white exposure in their own monitor. To be precise, it was the abnormal exposure that occurred within just a few minutes from the time they appeared to the end...
Titanium's equipment is extremely advanced, especially in the case of photography and information transmission. It can preserve intact data even in extreme void environments. In terms of military use, it is even more powerful than the Empire's equipment. However, something strange happened at this moment. of…
This is the reason why that legion has not been clearly recorded by the Human Empire. Even the most powerful inquisitors who want to study the group of warriors who belong to the Emperor are still dreaming. However, they have once again fulfilled their responsibilities and served the Empire. Great cause protects us.
This is a situation that is impossible for Titanium to understand in a short time. For them, does idealism really exist?
The fire attack ship continued to roam this weird subspace. Everything was so quiet and terrifying. By the time it reached the middle of the journey, the records in it were all kinds of things. There was the most terrifying void beast that was as huge as the entire battleship group. There is also a sea of chaotic stars that is breathtakingly beautiful.
Even though their warp engines were slow, it gave them a lot of time to record this crazy world.
The subspace is mysterious and fascinating, with ancient wandering battleships and giant ancient creations, but soon the drones detected strong energy signals. The number of those things was about the same as them, and they were moving forward extremely fast.
Almost instantly, those AIs understood that the Red Pirates were coming! (End of chapter)
