Chapter 2057 Voss Type Strike Lightning

In the void between the Kara Galaxy and the Maga Galaxy, there is a dead star, which is marked as KM on Angstrom's star map -1919180, the note is a delta planet, which is a planet world without atmosphere and use value.

In addition, the mass of this planet itself is only one-quarter of the standard planet mass (Earth), and there are no rare minerals. If nothing else, it will always be just a speck of dust in the universe.

But now, this dead world suddenly became lively. Various engineering ships and super-large engineering equipment began to move around the planet. Some huge structures were built on the surface of the planet, with various excavators on it. Create huge potholes, as if industrious ants are building their own nests.

At Soshyan's request, all the forge worlds participating in this expedition invested in the transformation and construction of the planet, and his purpose is simple. You Huron think your hulk is very powerful, Then I will directly transform an asteroid into a temporary battle fortress. Then we can see whether the hulk is harder or the battle fortress is harder. Although this idea was inspired by his memories of the past battles with the green skins.

It stands to reason that transforming a planet-level battle fortress can be an extremely ambitious project, often requiring hundreds or even thousands of years. However, Soshyan does not have high requirements for it. It does not require too many weapons and equipment, only Just make it move.

Due to its smaller mass, this one is relatively simple.

So KM-1919180 has a new name, Moon of Destruction.

Soshiyan’s goal in building the Moon of Destruction was actually not to really expect it to play any role. He simply wanted to use this action to force Huron out, because he judged that after Huron experienced this series of failures, The heart is definitely not as stable as before, and on the surface, the Imperial Expeditionary Force does still have almost unlimited manpower and material resources. If the Moon of Destruction is really built, then Huron will have no chance of winning even if he builds another useless ship.

However, according to the possibilities calculated by Soshyan and Helbrecht who came to the front line, Huron may not launch a large-scale attack at the beginning, but will send many small fleets to harass and interfere with the construction progress. , so as long as the main fleet of the empire does not move, the main fleet of the Red Pirates will definitely not dare to move either.

So if the main fleet is not used, what should be used to protect the fortress under construction?

The answer is obvious -

Small ships and void fighters.

Soshyan's plan is to defend, delay, and delay until Huron loses patience and thinks that if he doesn't attack, it may be irreversible. At that time, it will be the moment of decisive battle. At this time, the battle on the Bloody Skull Planet is almost over. Now, a series of White Scars sub-groups led by Korsaro Khan will soon arrive on the battlefield.

In addition, the Eldar side are also continuing to monitor the Second Legion. Not long ago, they left the Endymion star cluster and entered the depths of the maelstrom, seemingly heading to Galmyk.

It is possible that Garmo Zejie wants to collude with the Word Bearers. This is something that deserves vigilance. Soshyan has asked Doral to continue to monitor this group of people, but after all, there are already many people in the depths of the maelstrom. The space is not suitable for the Eldar to move around, so the surveillance effect will not be very good, but since the opponent's target is the Blackstone Fortress, there is no need to worry about running away. Sure enough, on the tenth day of the construction of the Destruction Moon, the red pirates began to raid. At first, they were just some plundering ships, which were quickly dispersed by the frigates and destroyer squadrons. But then some small battleships also began to appear, and Huron also learned the lesson. , he dispatched some specially modified "small aircraft carriers". Each ship can carry a fighter squadron or several chaos dragons, but the victory is that they are large enough and can be deployed flexibly, which quickly creates a lot of pressure on the defenders. .

As for where Huron got so many fighters and Chaos Dragons, this naturally benefited from the scrap ship factory provided by the mysterious sponsor and the follow-up obtained by Huron after many negotiations. assistance.

However, both Huron and Soshyan knew that this battle would last for a while until either side could no longer sit still.

"Sergeant Kano, the flight deck is ready and Rahm Squadron can take off."

Kano, who held his helmet under his arm, nodded. Not far in front of him, a trailer was slowly driving out of the hangar, dragging a huge fighter plane behind it.

It looks like an ancient Lightning fighter, but it is equipped with a pair of longer and heavier wings and four tail fins, showing a majestic beauty unique to the Astartes. There is a huge engine air inlet under the cockpit of the fuselage. At the root of the wing are two focused laser cannons. The polished silver-gray metal shell shines in the red light of the hangar, and the double swords logo with black trim embellishes it. The tail fin and wingtips represent that it comes from the Astral Knights Chapter.

After it stopped, the servitors immediately pushed the huge ammunition cart over and hung the missiles under its wings.

This type of fighter is an ancient variant of the Lightning Fighter, called the Voss Strike Lightning Fighter. Its design can be traced back to the Great Crusade, created by the Great Sage Sykosk of the Forge World of Vos Prime. Thule was created based on the STC of the Lightning Fighter. It was originally designed and positioned as a fighter-bomber. However, after installing an advanced high-pressure plasma ramjet engine, the fighter became the fastest fighter in the Empire during the Great Crusade, allowing it to shoulder airborne missions. It has become a powerful and versatile fighter aircraft with excellent combat missions and can also be equipped with a plasma shield. When the shield is activated, the fighter aircraft flying at high speed looks like a dazzling plasma comet, and the weapons and ammunition it uses are also Optimized.

Of course, the benefits are not in vain. A series of advanced strengthening equipment have caused the production cost of this type of fighter to skyrocket, almost ten times that of the normal Lightning type, and the process of the high-pressure plasma ramjet engine is too It was cumbersome, limited the production quantity, and its subsequent maintenance was also troublesome. Even in the late period of the Great Crusade, this model was extremely rare and only available to the most experienced Astartes pilots.

As for why it was piloted by the Astartes, it is because the fighter has only one pilot, and it was designed without considering the control limits of ordinary people. Its excessive speed makes it difficult for mortals to control it. Only the superhumans of the Astartes Only physical strength and quick thinking allow it to exert its due combat capabilities.

When the Voss Strike Lightning fighter was discovered in the armory of the Eleventh Legion, Soshyan was not happy, because according to time, when this type of fighter was developed, the Legion had already perished. Why did it appear in the armory again?

There is only one explanation. After the Legion was destroyed, there were still people who replenished the Avesta with weapons. So who could it be?

The one who holds the seal?

A certain Primarch?

Or

some of Xerxes’ “friends”?
