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

Chapter 223: The Newborn Alien Civilization

"Warning, the short-distance subspace jump has ended and we are about to return to the real universe."

An alarm sounded from the Red Alert's intelligent pickup truck, and Roche and his exploration fleet arrived at the nearest planet on the star map.

Due to concerns about the impact of the Warp storm on navigation, Roche did not go deep into the Warp, but led the fleet to adopt a Warp navigation method similar to "skipping stones on water".

The moment it enters the subspace, it starts the engine and returns to the real universe.

Although this greatly reduced efficiency compared to full subspace navigation, it was safer. It only took them a week to catch up with an exploration ship that was traveling at conventional sublight speeds.

"This planet was named Planet DX-114 in the new star map we drew. The exploration ship discovered traces of alien life on this planet."

On the bridge of the Red Alert, Hill was introducing the specific situation of the target planet of this voyage. Dantioch and Pollux stayed at Sosa's base camp and were responsible for building the orbital defense system within the galaxy.

Roshi was accompanied by his two old friends, Sharokin and Hill, as well as the veterans of the Broken Legion who had followed him all the way from the battlefield of Istvaan V.

"Let's first enter the galaxy and observe the surface conditions of the planet from orbit before making any plans."

After entering the star system where planet DX-114 is located from the Mandeville point, Roche did not rush to land on the target planet, but observed the situation very carefully.

They first retrieved the navigation log of the exploration ship in the planet's orbit, and then the fleet activated its energy shield and hovered at the outer edge of the planet's orbit.

The stealth field released by the Red Alert, combined with the anti-reconnaissance coating of those cruisers, made it almost invisible to visual and scanning arrays.

Having seen the power of the monsters in this universe, Roche will no longer take it lightly. Some alien races that appear to have extremely low technological levels may pose a threat in terms of psychic power that cannot be underestimated, so this time their fleet included the newly formed think tank team of the Extreme Marines.

The leader of this 50-man think tank team is named Emilia Troy, an experienced old think tank among the Ultramarines. He and Titus Prieto are comrades-in-arms from the same period, but Titus now has his own mission, so this exploration mission is led by the Trojan think tank.

In addition to relying on think tank units to fight against possible psychic aliens, Luo Xi also brought several members of the Untouchables Tactical Team, who will appear at critical moments as complete psychic nemesis.

Hovering in low-Earth orbit, the Red Alert scans the planet below. Its powerful scanning array can even penetrate the Earth's crust, analyzing and recording the data of the entire planet and presenting it in the form of a holographic projection.

The team exploring the Eastern Galaxy this time includes representatives from many forces from five hundred worlds. At this moment, they are standing in front of the holographic projection with Luo Xi and communicating in a low voice.

The commander of the Ultramarines Company conveyed the instructions and greetings from the Father of Genes to Hill, and at the same time he handed over the command to Hill, the legendary hero of the Battle of Calth, who would lead them in the next journey.

Captain Gantula of the White Scars and the pack leader Faffnir commented with interest on the vast deserts and grasslands of the planet below. The scanning array showed that the gravity of this planet was much smaller than the standard gravity of Terra.

"If a rally competition is held on the surface of this planet, it will definitely be a grand event." Guntula gestured a long route from the ocean to the desert on the holographic projection, and the White Scar warriors around him already looked eager to try.

"Beasts bred in low-gravity environments will be larger, but they will certainly not be as strong as those in high-gravity environments, let alone comparable to the sea monsters of Fenris."

Faffnir was sharpening his Fenris greataxe, looking quite interested.

The Mechanicus priests, who had undergone a lot of mechanical modifications and were covered with metal parts and gears, gathered together and discussed the possible natural resources on the new planet using binary language.

"Don't be careless, everyone. There are intelligent life forms on this planet. Although they are still in a state of ignorance, the flame of wisdom has already been ignited." Luo Xi looked around at everyone and said with a smile. He stretched out his hand to enlarge the image captured by the scanning array. A group of humanoid, thin, blue-skinned aliens appeared on the holographic projection.

The aliens that appeared in the projection had somewhat ugly blue skin, but their heads did not have the nasal structure of humans, and instead showed a smooth piece of muscle tissue.

They seemed to be still in the stage of moving from the ocean to the land. Roche saw some webbed structures on their bodies that only creatures living in sea water have.

"A primitive civilization that is still developing, an alien civilization."

Although there are many different types of life forms in the vast galaxy, such as carbon-based mammals like humans, or green-skinned orcs that possess both plant and animal characteristics and fungal characteristics.

There are even silicon-based life and energy life in certain special environments. These creatures can survive in the extreme environment on the surface of stars, far beyond the limits of mortal imagination.

After all, for a long time in the past, humans believed that it was impossible for life to exist on planets like stars with huge energy reactions.

"Perhaps we could catch some and take a closer look."

Those who showed a strong interest in them were the oil men from the Forge World. Some of their mechanical priests who were proficient in biotechnology were keen on collecting genetic samples of various alien creatures in order to improve and promote the development of their theories.

In the vast galaxy, humans are hostile to most aliens, but the aliens here refer to those with advanced intelligent life. If there are some alien life without advanced intelligence on an unknown planet, humans often will not kill them all.

After all, non-intelligent creatures might become a new food for humans, or become a signature specialty after humans colonize the planet.

Luo Xi did not respond to the request of the mechanical priests immediately, he just continued to observe.

Those blue humanoid aliens tend to appear in groups, holding extremely simple wooden spears in their hands, which are hunting tools made from branches of a relatively tough plant on the planet.

Being able to use tools, even the simplest and most primitive ones, meets the definition of higher intelligence.

After all, strictly speaking, there is no essential difference between the spears in the hands of those aliens and the chainswords in the hands of the Space Marines.

As observation continued, the blue-skinned aliens knocked down and killed a huge herbivore with a spear. They cheered and jumped around the carcass of their prey, as if performing some kind of primitive religious ritual.

Then they cut the carcass of the prey into small pieces that were easy to carry. At the same time, some of the aliens used two pieces of flint to create a fire, and they used the fire to cook the raw meat.

At this point, Luo Xi sighed, the result was already obvious.

Being kind to alien civilizations is being cruel to our own civilization. The long era of conflict after the Dark Technological Age has made the human species recognize the true face of alien civilizations.

For aliens, there is only killing.

The wild wolves showed bloody smiles. Guntura had already led his warriors into his vehicles. The extreme warriors were ready to go, ready to teleport to the surface at any time.

A destructive operation against alien civilization has begun.
