Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 161 White Scar: Too Much
A real star-destroying battleship is being built in the dock next door...

Forget it, it's not important.

This information could no longer attract Gantula's attention. The White Scar was not interested in this pure act of destruction, but the fact that planetary battleships did not need to slow down during combat attracted his attention.

There is no need to slow down, doesn't that mean you can just keep driving at top speed?

For the White Scars, who are used to removing the brakes and pressing the accelerator, such a battleship is really in line with their aesthetic taste.

Faster is better, faster is stronger, speed is everything.

The White Scar Captain who had escaped from the warp storm boasted that he would not be shocked by anything anymore, but today, he had to admit that he was deeply moved.

He is not a fool. Luo Xi talked to them for a long time and took them to the site for a tour for a long time. Of course, it is impossible for him to just display this big treasure in front of them to show off.

This was an attempt to win over the White Scars, an almost explicit act of goodwill.

Gantula wanted to say no proudly, but his heart could not support him to say such a thing against his will.

Yes, he couldn't lie, he simply couldn't resist the temptation to pilot this battleship.

"My friend, why did you choose us? We just escaped from the warp storm and haven't even known each other for more than a week. Why don't you let the Ultramarines man this battleship?"

Gantula's tone was sincere and calm, and the slight arrogance hidden in him had completely disappeared.

What right do they have to be proud? It is Luo Xi who has the advantage now, not them.

They were just a group of defeated soldiers who had escaped by chance and gathered in Macragge. The enemy army was besieging Terra, and the Solar System was under the most severe attack.

Luo Xi shook his head calmly. He found that these white scars seemed to have made a mistake.

"Captain Gantula, it seems you are mistaken."

For a moment, the son of Chagatai seemed to enter a highly tense bullet time, and he was a little afraid that Luo Xi would say no.

If he doesn't want to, then they have no qualifications and no right to say anything.

Are they going to rob their loyal brother army?

"You are wrong. It's not that the Ultramarines can't operate this battleship, but this battleship is just a beginning. It will never be a single product. If resources can keep up, this kind of planetary battleship can be manufactured one by one in the dock."

"I chose you because the White Scars are the best warship operators. Your talents and experience are unmatched by mortals and Ultramarines."

"So, you will be the first batch of drivers, and then continue to provide detailed data and references for subsequent design and production. After all, your number is still too small."

What Luo Xi said was deeply imprinted in Guntura's heart. Yes, the Sons of Chagatai, now the White Scars, formerly the Star Hunters, are the most suitable legion to control warships.

"I think it's a huge waste to let you go boarding and fighting. It's better to use your talents to drive warships. That way you can get the most benefits."

There are so many legions gathered in Macragge, and the reason why Roxi is particularly concerned about the White Scars is that the soldiers of this legion are all natural drivers.

Whether it's their beloved jetbikes or those high-speed gunships, the White Scars are excellent pilots.

This is determined by their genes and the legion culture that has been shaped over a long period of time.

"If I can't repay you, I am willing to die." Gantula still spoke in a literary manner. If Luo Xi could see his loyalty, he would estimate that it would definitely increase a lot.

As long as these warriors are not explicitly told to oppose the Empire, or even their Primarch, they will obey most of Roche's orders.

While Roshi, Nikonna Sharokin, and the Salamander Thassa still had a bond of camaraderie from their escape from Isstvan, he didn't have much personal connection with the Space Marines who had escaped the Ruinstorm. To solidify their relationship, all that was needed was sufficient resources and benefits.

As it happens, what Roche lacks the least is material resources, and even Guilliman cannot surpass him in this regard.

"But to make this battleship operate, we certainly cannot rely solely on manpower. That would be an astronomical figure, so can I think that--" Gantula continued to test.

"Will this ship, and the warships that will be put into service later, use abominable intelligence?"

The topics discussed in Guntura are very sharp, and hatred of intelligence and aliens have always been the most sensitive topics.

"Maybe we can change the name to machine soul, but our machine soul is more powerful." Luo Xi said.

"The carrier-based souls we have installed have been blessed by the Adeptus Mechanicus and have unshakable loyalty to humanity. Moreover, we already have a way to deal with Chaos pollution."

The countermeasure that Roche pointed out is that even if Blackstone has the ability to suppress the subspace, the logic centers of these warships equipped with low-level intelligence will be placed in the Blackstone array that maintains the subspace repulsion.

With the dual protection of Black Stone and Geller's Stand, most of the Chaos pollution will be completely isolated.

"You and I both know that even the cabins of the Glorious Queen-class battleships have hundreds of thousands of mortals living in them to keep the ships running, and other mechanical servants and slaves are constantly contributing."

"In a space as huge as a planetary battleship, it is impossible to continue to rely solely on manpower to maintain its operation. If we still insist on this, I am afraid that it will take millions of people to maintain its operation, and the efficiency of this battleship will be unacceptably low."

Gantula and the others were also struggling in their hearts. Hatred of abominable intelligence was engraved deep in their genes, but at this moment reason told them that what Luo Xi said was right.

"I agree, Gantura, the Machine Soul is safe and reliable, there is no need to doubt it." Iron Hand, who had remained silent, expressed his support. Luo Xi noticed that the warrior in mourning clothes had hardly spoken a word.

The Iron Hands is the legion that has conducted the most in-depth research on artificial intelligence, and what is buried in their legion's black technology warehouse is not even inferior to that of the Dark Angels.

Seeing this, Gantula also skipped this topic.

The ancient wisdom of Chogoris has made it clear that contradictions are unified and opposed to each other. Perhaps they can really prove that some "machine souls" are indeed harmless and can be used.

"Wait, my friend, don't you have space on your ship to launch boarding torpedoes? If we encounter a tough enemy, we still have the option of boarding."

Luo Xi took a deep breath. Boarding is a feature of this universe and it is a must-try.

He had already made a plan.

"The warship's teleporter can perform beaconless teleportation once it enters the control range. Throw away your stupid boarding torpedoes."

Luo Xi does not reject the idea of ​​boarding a ship, because of the existence of the void shield. If one wants to defeat the enemy by overloading the void shield, it will take a very long time.

Boarding is undoubtedly the best way to disrupt enemy warships and win quickly.

"In addition to beacon-less teleportation, I have also prepared a special boarding method for you."

He clapped his hands, and from the cabin that was already one-third completed, an eight-meter-tall humanoid mechanical creature walked out with agile steps.

It has an appearance similar to that of the Imperial Knight mecha, with two feet on the ground, and a silver and gray entangled body that flashes a cold steel luster.

A pair of real iron hands hang from the sides of the body, which can be loaded with heavy melee weapons when necessary. A pair of twin-mounted heavy laser cannons are placed on both sides of the energy core directly in front, and a pair of slender streamlined metal wings are cleverly bent behind the body.

"If we abandon the boarding torpedoes, there will naturally be better alternatives." Luo looked at the approaching humanoid mecha, full of pride.

"Tengu mecha, a powerful piece of equipment that can switch freely between fighter mode and bipedal knight mode."
