A Will Eternal Chapter 1256
,
The Gothic Sector is the closest province to the Eye of Terror.
As for why it is called a star area because of its cuteness, it is mainly because of confusion and uncertainty.
The Eye of Terror is a place of filth, and the surrounding area is not peaceful. The border of the Gothic Star District has not been finalized.
Therefore, even if the actual area is larger than ordinary provinces, it is still called a star area.
And the real star area is reduced to a secondary star area.
There are seven sub-star regions in the Gothic star region, and these sub-star regions are basically spheres with a diameter of 20 light-years.
Because of this, Rowansberg, although he is the admiral of the star area. But the real power is at the provincial admiral level.
However, the Cartier Fortress and the Cadian Gate are not under his control, they are directly under the Imperial Military Affairs Department.
The Cadian Gate is the main exit of the Eye of Terror to the outside world, but it is not the only exit.
Abaddon the Predator's Twelfth Black Expedition was a bit like the Germans' tactic of bypassing the front of the Maginot Line of Defense in World War II and entering France from the Ardennes Pass. It was unexpected and the effect was excellent.
And the Arden Pass here is naturally the Ax star system.
It's a pity that in the original history line, I was used to Abaddon's operation of breaking into Cadian's gate eleven times, so I didn't have the slightest precautions against this sudden and unusual way.
Today is different.
Just when Kane took Gregory and others to pretend to fly together.
The old astropaths at the Akers Observation Station, as well as a group of Imperial Guards, were all stunned, completely confused as to why they were still alive?
"This is called tactical fraud. Too many of them are military secrets. At your level, it is not enough to know." Someone answered their answer.
A cyber puppet of the First Order.
More specifically, it is the series of political commissars in cyber puppets.
Political commissar, trainer, instructor. Although they are all a business portal, each has a specific business focus. The instructor is the company level, and the down-to-earth is the characteristic. Instructors are at the battalion level, and inspirational is a feature. The political commissar is above the regiment level, and it is a characteristic of painting cakes to let people have a head start.
Grounding is close to life, morale boosting is temporary, and ambition is long-term, and each has its own role.
The one patiently explaining to the old astrologers in front of him is the political commissar, whose personality comes from big data. He is a bit condescending, but his speech is coherent, clear in context, and does not go around.
"The empire cares about your safety, and secretly replaced you with high-cost clones. With the help of psionic masters, you, who have been remotely controlling the doubles in the safe area, think that you are still stationed in Ax."
"As for you, you performed with your true colors and completed the task. Next, you will take a period of rest and recuperate. Except for the non-going out in accordance with the secrecy regulations, you will be treated as officers in other respects."
"Praise the Emperor!" Someone could not wait to cheer.
Kane couldn't help curling his lips after watching the video later.
This is the real empire. Everyone who doesn't shout at least one or two praises to the emperor or the emperor's quotations every day is tantamount to disloyalty.
The play at the Akers Observatory is over, and the vanguard fleet of the Chaos Expeditionary Army will enter the Gothic sector from here and begin to wreak havoc.
In the Gothic star sector, there are more wilderness areas between the seven sub-star sectors.
There are nearly 200 human colonized stars in this star area. The reason why there are no exact figures is that some of them are in the fall, have neither been recovered nor can be determined to be occupied.
The empire is like this, with a large territory and various poses. Some people are living on the agricultural star and the garden star, and their lives are not bad, while some are bullied by aliens as two-legged sheep.
The pirates in the Gothic star area include humans, protoss, orcs, necromancers, and chaos.
The first four categories are fair, empires, or chaos, are their targets.
Chaos pirates are a bit like bandits after get off work in the army, and they have a little leisure time in the subspace, so they come out to take risks and have some fun. So they are not interested in chaos, and grab everything else.
In the original history of the Gothic War, a chaotic squadron was annihilated in a certain asteroid belt by the pirate fleet of the Orcs.
Lowansberg was also excited about this for a while, and spit out: "If that guy is not an Orc, I will let him be the captain of my flagship."
Of course, he would not admit that he had beaten him. Otherwise, the court or the political commissar of the Ministry of the Navy will send an invitation for an interview.
Today, the dog-eat-dog miracle is probably unlikely to happen.
Because the Orcs were wiped out.
In fact, Kane has a lot of affection for the Orcs. After all, he played a lot of role-playing in Warhammer in the Middle Ages.
And, in the far dark future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Orks may very well be the only conscience.
Why do you say that?
Because all other intelligent races are either blackened or perish, the process is heavy, and the ending is also heavy. Only keep waaaagh! Spiritual Orcs, funny to death, happy to the end of the universe. It can be said to be the only bright color in the heavy and depressing Warhammer universe.
Speaking of orcs, Warhammer 40k is actually more interesting than medieval Warhammer. Because they have more room for improvement, room for choice, and opportunities to make trouble.
Today, orcs are more widely distributed in the galaxy than humans. And they can fight any enemy 50-50.
In history, when the terrifying Tyranids from outside the Milky Way entered the Milky Way and all forces were defeated, it was the Orcs who stopped the swarm from raging...
However, in Kane's eyes, the Gothic star area has too many elements, and there is no need for the three vulgar and funny shit-stirring sticks of Orcs, so they were kicked out and replaced.
In Kane's eyes, it is not difficult to deal with the Orcs.
After all, although their photosynthesis is amazing, they need terrestrial life planets to develop greatly. But such planets in the Gothic Star District are basically in the hands of humans.
The rest of them scanned and found it, and sprinkled it with a gene virus, and the Orcs had no chance to appear on the stage.
In comparison, the Spirit Race is more difficult to deal with.
But with the obliteration of the Austral Ark World, most of the few spirit race pirates sensed that the situation was not good, and fled the Gothic sector, and Kane didn't bother to chase them to the ends of the world.
In the end, there were only the Necrons left.
Kane was a little scratching his head for this group of ribs.
The ribs are the race that fought against the ancient saints back then.
Even though they did this at the beginning, it seemed quite unreasonable, and it was indeed ugly to lose, and was easily handled by the Old Sage.
But at least they can come up with a wild father of the god of stars to confess, and other races don't even have this kind of thinking.
Compared with the ribs, the Eldar, who seem to be very mysterious in technology and high in psychic power, are just scavengers who search and use everywhere because they have lived a few more years.
For example, the Eldar Webway, which is the most important to the Eldar, is also very famous, which is left over from the old saints.
Of course, when it comes to this, human beings have nothing to do with it. The emperor had an accident in the network channel project underground in the palace. The demon entered the network channel. Only the emperor could close it, and then turned himself into a toilet plug. Horus took advantage of it. This opportunity raised troops at the border, swept all the way, achieved a mighty situation, and reached the Terra Palace all the way. If the emperor can drive his own conquest early, it will be another situation...
Eldar. When claiming to be the overlord of the galaxy, he also collected the inheritance of the ribs.
For example, the Blackstone Fortress is the space fortress of the ribs. Later, the ribs wanted to "bury it in the ground", so they threw it into the universe.
The Eldar spirits bought these unowned things, fiddled with them, and used them for themselves. They placed them in the Gothic sector, because at that time the Gothic sector was the outer edge of the main colony of the Eldar spirits.
It turned out that it couldn't be used, because with the birth of Slaanesh, the star field exploded into the later Eye of Terror.
Warhammer 40k talks about technology, the ancient sages don't come out, the ribs say the second, no one dares to say the first.
According to Kane's prophetic information, these guys will wake up in batches in a few years, and then announce to the outside world that they will regain the throne of the first race of the galaxy.
As for the branch in the Gothic sector, it is not a strong force, but it is still a variable after all.
Kane hadn't had much exposure to ribs before.
But there is still some information about it.
For example, the ship material of the Necromancer uses living metal.
As a result, their ships are immune to solar flares, gas giant storms, and more. After all, living metal is very good at repairing and restoring.
Kane also has this technology, which came from Zhao Wenrui, but Zhao Wenrui didn't get it from Necrons, and he doesn't know if it's the same.
He was involved in Big Dipper in his early years, and said that the bionic machinery he used was equipped with living metal technology.
Later, it was not used anymore, because the army valued cost-effectiveness and practicality, not the higher-end the better.
Fifty cents for a knife is enough, so there is no need to use a one-piece knife.
So there is only one ship in the Gothic sector like the Order. Can mass production, yes, but not necessary.
Kane pondered, the ribs may not be able to reduce the cost of living metal. Because their ship concept is less but better.
They are not ordinary elites who win by quality, but special ships.
To be more specific, a fleet is composed of several warships with extremely advanced technology, incredible power, high speed and flexibility, and each with its own characteristics.
Coupled with the use of inertial engines, the shape of their battleships is quite non-mainstream, and it is even difficult to accurately describe the shape.
There is no inertial engine, and it can travel faster than the speed of light in physical space.
There is no need to open a wormhole, no high-dimensional warp, no need to enter subspace, in the eyes of onlookers, it is just like teleportation, swish, swish, long or short distances are crossed, that's it.
Anyway, the race that dared to challenge the ancient saints and launched the legendary "battle of heaven" naturally had some unique skills.
However, overly huge creations, such as the world engine, have a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers, and the ribs must use the webway left by the ancient saints to move. And it is a destructive expansion of the network channel.
It can be said that because the ribs have a deeper understanding of the webway than the Eldar race, the emperor's idea of using the webway to allow humans to avoid the disadvantages of the subspace and achieve a leap is doomed to be empty.
Therefore, Kane finally decided to bully the weak and fear the strong, not to dig the grave for the time being, and alarmed the ribs in the Gothic star area.
In the original history, they did not lift the tomb cover to show their presence in this war. Then if one day they really want to fight against them, the overall technology of the first order must be fully upgraded by at least one level.
Right now, lowering the level of technology means doubling production. It is a good choice whether it is production or restoration of Gothic battleships that are comparable to the versatility of ak47.
With the signboard set up by Lowansberg, in just two months, the investment that was given away for free before has been fully returned.
In fact, many rare elements can be extracted from those restored Gothic warships.
The refurbishment of a ship is probably like this:
First of all, its power system, the fuel will be taken away, and then the whole power system will undergo major surgery.
In this process, a considerable amount of rare elements can be obtained.
Because Kane has a solution with higher efficiency but cheaper materials to replace the original system. And this replacement is based on no major changes.
This means that the fuel originally used by the ship can still be used, and even the repair method of replacing parts can barely make it run.
This is a thorough understanding of the technology, and there are a lot of related ideas. It is said that the benefits brought by it, small changes can achieve a crushing victory.
Then there is the keel, the hull.
The changes here are slightly larger. After the rare elements were extracted, the keel and hull were re-melted and tempered. The former was changed to a one-piece structure, while the latter was a modular one.
This means that the inherent repair method is no longer applicable, barely repaired, just papered, unlike the past repairs, there is still a certain degree of professional performance to be expected.
Finally, in the process of simplifying each system, remove parts containing rare elements.
As far as the first order is concerned, none of the equipment on these warships is valuable, and it is not expensive to just smash the old ones and replace them with new ones. Only rare elements, which are like precious metals in the earth age, have a limited amount and many uses. valuable.
Therefore, for all refurbished ships, the attitude of the First Order is: If they break down, stop dealing with them and just throw them away. There is no value in continuing to repair them.
After passing it, it was completely turned into rubbish, neatly placed there, not worth the first order to pick it up.
The Imperial Navy is a treasure.
"Wow! It's cool! Not to mention the new ship, even better than many new ships built in modern times!"
It can only be said that this is a bunch of poor children who have become accustomed to suffering.
Currently, the First Order has divided the ship repair industry into two.
A stall still in the North Star port in Khulna.
When Polaris Port was first built, it was a collection of space docks. It looked like a space hive, layer after layer, and each layer could accommodate a circle of ships. The exact number depends on the size of the ships. Sorry for the battleship, but with the size of Polaris Port, one can be accommodated on one floor.
The Khulna star port is still a secret port so far, and it does not take orders from outsiders, and few people know of its existence.
It is in a stealth state, and the few battleships sent by the fleet directly under the Gothic sector recently also handed over halfway, instead of coming directly.
Currently, the largest ship being repaired at Polaris Port is the Emperor-class battleship 'Divinity'.
This battleship can be said to be the oldest battleship in the entire Obscure Starfield.
Its old hull comes from the abandoned 'Yu Xie' (this contemptuous name, naturally, was later salvaged). found.
According to calculations, it has been drifting in the subspace for at least ten thousand years, and the power system is still able to function normally, which means that it probably disappeared long before the Emperor's Great Crusade.
After it was recovered, it was towed to the famous Cypramundy Starport in the Obscure Field for a complete transformation. After that, inter-satellite patrol missions will be performed.
If there is no Kane, this old ship that has been drifting in the subspace for at least 10,000 years and has been in continuous operation for 5,000 years is still a treasure in the hands of Lowansberg.
You know, the entire Gothic sector is only two Emperor-class ships.
In addition to the Divine Power, there is another 'advanced number'.
In terms of comprehensive performance, this ship was built in the 30th millennium, but it was abandoned in space orbit for two thousand years due to the Horus rebellion. Later, due to subspace storms, various accidents, and the invasion of chaos rebels, the construction period was repeatedly delayed. The Emperor-class battleship that didn't come off the assembly line until the end of the 32nd millennium was no match for the Divine Power.
However, due to a series of reasons, the Advanced has more political significance, and it is also the flagship of the fleet directly under the Gothic sector. Even if it is a mascot, it must be kept there and cannot be easily changed.
Lowansberg sent the Theocracy here for repair this time, which is quite meaningful.
In addition to the further improvement of the Divine Power's own performance, it is also counting on Kane's popularity.
The navy is the most superstitious branch of the military, and the history of the predecessor of the Theocracy's drifting in the subspace means ominous to the officers and soldiers of the navy.
It has to be said that this kind of superstition is more or less established in this world. The souls of those who died on the ship took the ship as their habitat and lingered. This is a normal phenomenon, and psykers, such as navigators and astropaths, can detect it.
Even ordinary officers and soldiers have a certain probability of sensing ghosts when the ship is sailing in the subspace.
Coupled with the generally dark and depressing Gothic style inside the ship, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a ghost ship, but it is the truth to say that the ship is haunted.
On the other hand, Kane has indeed gained popularity, and it is still menacing and growing rapidly.
The main reason is that Kane started selling Fornication Potion, or holy water, in the name of the state religion.
This is a product jointly launched after he interacted with the state religion boss. According to the outside world, there are two pilot areas, one is Terra, and the other is the Gothic star area.
Launched together with the holy water, there is also the Holy Gate, or the Emperor's Blessing (as it is called on Terra), which has the same principle as the holy water, which is produced by the erosion theory of purifying extraordinary energy through the washing of holy light adverse effects.
As a facility, the Holy Gate is placed in a place with better lighting, and then it can absorb and transform energy by itself. Above the ground, it looks like an arched corridor several meters long, and there is a large lump underground, and there is even a force field cabin containing a miniature subspace energy vortex.
People only need to walk under the arch at a normal speed to complete the purification.
The usage of holy water is more flexible. It can be mixed in a kettle, in a meal, or in a mouthful. After all, it is usually a small bottle of 15ml.
Holy water is good, who knows who uses it.
The holy gate is more intuitive, passing below, especially sailors who disembark, can immediately feel the difference.
As a result of secret negotiations between Kane and the State Church, this thing was used to repay the kindness that some emperors hoped for. Therefore, the state religion is also very manly, adding a saint in front of Kane's name.
Although Saint Kane is not as valuable as Sanguinius, it is only because of Sanguinius' own legendary experience and the blessing of the emperor. The title of 'Saint' is still very valuable in the state religion. Not all of them can be given the title of 'Holy' if they are sealed after they are dropped.
Coupled with the officers and soldiers after the ship change, it is generally reported that the refurbished warship is not haunted. The saying that Kane is the Emperor's envoy, and also the holy spirit who protects the hearts of the people with the knowledge imparted by the Emperor, quickly spread.
Of course, this also has fueled the flames behind the state religion, the bundling strategy.
So Lowansberg's little calculation is still very thoughtful. After the Theocracy is refurbished, if Kane makes some noise, he can use the name of the Theocracy to be indirectly blessed by the Emperor and make it a flagship. , there is a reason to renovate the advanced number.
And Kane's side of the First Order also made some money...
