Chapter 3064: Subspace Dive
“Ah, very good beer, thank you very much.”
Seeing Soshyan drink half of the beer in one sip, Byrno also grinned. .
“This is the legendary brand of Bergman Winery, the king’s gold, second only to the Flying Spear.”
After the other party said this, Soshiyang realized that this beer is indeed It has a metallic texture similar to gold, which is very unique.
After thinking for a moment, Soshyan asked in a curious tone:
"Can all ships drink alcohol during working hours?"
After taking a sip, Byrno said, He stroked his beard and replied slowly:
“For us, this is not drinking, it is a way for us to always remember our homeland. The furnace descendants were born in the void, which is doomed for many of us to spend most of our lives. We are all wandering on the road. In addition to our ancestors, we only have this beer. And we don’t seem to get drunk easily, right? In fact, many jobs don’t need to be stared at all the time. You have also seen ours. The ship's automation level is very high, and people often just stare at the equipment. This is a very boring job. The crew members need something to help them concentrate."
"That's it."
Soshyan nodded thoughtfully, raised the cup and took a sip.
In fact, he thinks there is another reason, that is, the Furnaces do not have an army in the political sense. Their armed forces are closer to commercial bodyguards, so they do not need to maintain the image of a highly authoritative violent machine.
As for the automation that the other party mentioned
He looked at the Ironborn who covered their faces with silver-plated glass covers and seemed not to be tired at all when they were busy, and thought to himself that if humans also had this kind of technology, It is true that there is no need to be so nervous on the bridge.
“I have heard a little bit about this Bergman Winery. I heard that it is the largest liquor consortium in the Wotan Federation? It does not even belong to any alliance?”
"After Joseph Bergman inherited the clan's declining winery, he tried many alliances to provide loans or financial support, but was rejected. After that, he participated in a dangerous adventure alone and learned from the adventure. After receiving a generous remuneration, he restarted the production of the winery and rapidly expanded the business with the unique formula. At that time, many alliances offered generous offers to invite him to join, but Joseph announced that Bergmann Winery would never Join any alliance.”
“Ha, it’s a legendary business story, but I thought it was among the Hearthborn.”
After hearing Soshyan’s words, Bayer said. Nuo raised his eyebrows and said:
"The core of a business alliance is always profit. Without profit, the alliance will disintegrate, the company will go bankrupt, and the factory will be merged and acquired. This is very realistic and very Cruel.”
“But the humans have never heard of Bergman’s beer. Is he only doing Wotan’s internal business?”
"No, I heard that Joseph had also thought about opening up the human market. He also found a partner in the solar system. It is said that he was a very powerful noble in the empire to act as an agent for sales. At the beginning, the two parties cooperated. It was going well. Bergman's beer opened up sales in the solar system. However, after a while, Bergman discovered that his agent had been paying for the goods on credit and had never paid a cent. In order to reach a cooperation, he allowed the other party to first He paid for the goods on credit, but when he went to the other party to ask for money, the imperial noble reported him for some alien crime, and he almost had him detained in the solar system. Since then, it seems that Bergman has not entered the human market again. I have an idea.”
“Uh——”
Soshiyang really didn’t know what to say, but this is indeed the characteristic of many imperial nobles-betrayal is like drinking water. Rules and contracts are like waste paper. As long as you have power, you will do whatever you want. "The ship has entered idle mode."
At this time, a burst of announcements sounded on the radio. Byrno raised his head and glanced at the screen, then picked up the command microphone on the side.
"Keep the course and sail for 5 minutes. Set all scanning equipment to maximum power and confirm the surrounding situation."
Then Byrno began to wear some equipment on his body. He was not only a fleet commander, but also A Void Master. In the Wotan Federation, each ship is commanded by a Void Master. They are captains who are proficient in various navigation skills and usually undergo technological enhancements to better perform their duties.
After preparing the equipment, he looked at Soshyan.
"The dive to the sky is about to begin. I may not be able to entertain you during this period, please feel free to do so."
Soshiyang smiled slightly.
"You are busy, don't you need to care that I need to avoid you?"
Bernaud just looked at him one more time, and then stepped onto a floating board.
"If you want to watch it, there's no problem, it's just that it might be a little boring."
The floating board then flew up, taking Byrno to a big metal ball hanging from the top Then, this big ball with a diameter of more than ten meters unfolded amidst the hum of machinery, and a set of equipment that looked very complicated appeared. At the same time, four iron men with somewhat unique shapes also appeared on the equipment on floating boards. Around them, there are some metal tentacle-like robotic arms on their shells, and the hoods are also black. Then they connect the robotic arms to the machine.
Soshiyang watched all this quietly, pondering a series of questions in his mind.
Some of these questions were answered by Sect Master Walker, but some were not easy to ask directly.
For example, he once asked Master Walker that humans must use star torches to guide their course when navigating through subspace, and in this process they need psykers like navigators. What kind of navigation is used by the Hearthborn? What is it? Is it a psyker like the Priest of Gromnir?
But Sect Master Walker denied Soshyan's speculation. He told Soshyan that they, the Gramnir priests, were not soshyan's understanding, or that they were psykers according to the empire's standards. The average furnace descendants were Like a lantern that is tightly sealed, the Hearthborn with psychic activity only opens the lantern a small crack. In other words, all Hearthborn are extremely slow to spiritual energy, Gromny The power of Er priests actually mainly comes from technology. There are a large number of psionic equipment in the Wotan Alliance. Under the control of the psionic Hearthborn, these psionic equipments will exude soft power or sparkle with cold witchcraft. It is through the careful use of these technological devices that the Grinir Priests are able to manipulate the energies of the Warp, creating an influence similar to that of true psykers on real space.
Therefore, Gramnir priests cannot hold the position of "navigator" which requires a high degree of psychic sensitivity.
As for what kind of navigation the furnace people use, and whether they need assistance such as the Star Torch, Sect Master Walker did not answer directly, and it was difficult for Soshyan to ask, because this is very obviously a very core secret of a race. .
But today, after seeing the Void Master controlling the ship to perform a difficult operation such as "subspace dive", Soshyan suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the Hearthborn's technology and understanding of the subspace.
