Chapter 2729 Black Stone Ambition
Of course, black stone has so many benefits, but it is not without its problems. For humans, the core problem is processing technology. Human beings definitely don’t know how to process black stone. Necrontyr knows but Presumably those weird technologies are not so easy to copy, so the black stone seems to have no effect on Soshyan?
Of course not, because there are still Eldar.
After obtaining the Blackstone Fortress, the Vaal craftsmen of Jemlok studied their ancient heritage day and night, and also sought the help of Harlequins. Unexpectedly, the Frost Stars were dug out from nowhere. Some "mythical stories" related to Vaal's Blessing.
By sorting out the scattered ancient texts, the Vaal craftsmen basically determined that the black fortress should be something made by the craftsman god himself, and its goal of creating such a powerful fortress was to be the strongest one in the War of Heaven. Criticize the Star God, especially the Void Dragon.
According to mythological text records, at the end of the War in Heaven, the Void Dragon became the main force leading the Necrontyr to attack the Ada. In order to fight against this incredibly powerful existence in the physical space, the Ada gods set a trap. First, the gods Asuryan, the head of God, came forward to briefly fight with the Void Dragon, consuming part of the Void Dragon's power. Then the Void Dragon went to a hidden place to replenish energy and began to absorb the energy of a pair of twin stars.
However, its every move was already under the surveillance of the Ada gods. When the twin stars began to dim, the craftsman god Val, who had been lying in wait for a long time, took action and controlled the double-digit black stone fortress. Form a formation of destruction.
What happened in the middle is not recorded in the text, but the void dragon's attack on Ada stopped, and the Necrontyr claimed that they destroyed the powerful star god.
When the War in Heaven came to an end, the Ada gods also gradually lived in seclusion in the depths of the Supreme Heaven. The Blessing of Vaal left in the world became an important weapon of the Ada Empire, with only direct orders from the Eternal Court. Only in this way can such a magical object be mobilized, but the ancestors of Ada are obviously also curious about such things. The research on black stone materials has already achieved considerable results in the early imperial era.
According to the sporadic texts of the ancestors, combined with careful research on the Blackstone Fortress, the Vaal craftsmen discovered that the interior of the Blackstone is actually a very dense and orderly needle-like structure, and they all point in the same direction. Under extreme spatial conditions, these originally tight structures will loosen slightly and change the needle shape. Once the needle structure is reversed, the properties of the entire black stone will fundamentally change. This is the source of the bipolar nature of the black stone subspace.
During the reversal process, the material properties of the black stone will also change. If it is forced to stay in a certain state, it will become plastic.
To put it simply, it requires a combination of special space power, solidification time, and external force operation methods that are not disturbed by the solidification time, to shape the black stone into what you want.
This is undoubtedly extremely harsh, but if the Necrontyr can do it, so can the Eldar.
Var craftsmen have proposed some feasible solutions, but they need to build a huge testing ground, and must consume a lot of resources and black stone samples.
The Blessing of Vaal is not only a war fortress, but also the incarnation of the craftsman god Vaal. It has important religious significance and cannot be moved. So the black stone must be obtained from other places. Soshyan was still thinking when he left the royal court. How to solve this matter? After all, if the black stone technology belonging to Ada can be developed, it will be of extraordinary value. Now such a ready-made tomb cannot be let go.
So with an order, millions of machines went underground and began to use heavy-duty power drills and large hot-melt cutting machines to dismantle the Necrontyr's tombs, turning all the black stones into pieces the size of a person and transporting them to the ship. .
Of course, considering the hardness of the black stone, it will take a while, so Soshyan went to deal with other things.
The troops in the Auxiliary Army where Soshyan went to express condolences in person visited the injured. Although this unit suffered such heavy casualties, their performance satisfied Soshyan, and there were shortcomings. It's not for nothing. He designed the Vashti and Pashti Ban units very early. At that time, his strategic and tactical thinking still stayed on the empire's more "traditional" large infantry doctrine. However, in the subsequent expedition to the Maelstrom, , and after commanding the Ada troops for a long time, and fighting against the Tau, Soshiyang's thoughts and ideas have undergone tremendous changes. His vision is no longer so narrow, and he can also see the consequences of his original design from more aspects. a series of questions.
The first is the choice of equipment. Vashti is generally good as a light infantry organization, but the support firepower is still too weak, and it is really difficult for the imperial-style light infantry to adapt to high-intensity battles. In combat, on the contrary, the Tau's troop organization and equipment configuration he had witnessed were much more reasonable, and the Pashtiban's problem was even more serious. Soshyan must admit that he may have been a little "vanity" in the design of the expensive shield. Its role on the battlefield was completely unmatched by its value. Instead, it restricted the flexibility of the soldiers, resulting in more casualties in this war, so much so that some soldiers would rather throw away their shields to fight (Soshyan could not ask for it afterwards). Punishing these soldiers for abandoning their equipment) just looks mighty during the military parade.
Soshyan realized that the shield was only suitable for space warriors and not suitable for mortals. In addition, Soshyan felt that the current equipment was difficult to reflect the positioning of the Pashtiban, and it was only more powerful than the light infantry. More heavy vehicles and long-range firepower cannot achieve the role of a "battery ram", but are simply cumbersome.
After considering these problems, Soshyan had to take action on his previous design.
First of all, Vashti's firepower must be comprehensively enhanced. First, the number of transportation and support vehicles must be increased. In addition, the new 520 engineering tank will also become their main battle tank. The number of mechanical priests in the company must be increased. Doubled, they will have a new task, coordinating and controlling the low-flying Eagle fighter soldiers. In the future, a company will have at least 3 teams of 9 Eagle fighter soldiers as the low-altitude reconnaissance and support force of the ground infantry - the Tau Drone Soshiyan thinks it's really good, but this thing has a red line, and the risk of touching it is too high.
However, the cost of building the Eagle Fighter is not low, mainly because of its complex flight control system, which requires a considerable amount of man-hours and a sufficient number of technical priests to hand-make precision parts. If it is really compiled like this, according to The number of troops envisaged by Soshyan is probably not enough even one million. This number is terrifying, so Ulanhuda alone will definitely not be enough, and it will have to be purchased in large quantities from other forging worlds through transactions.
