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

Chapter 708: A Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire (Three-in-One)

Today, Roche no longer needs to do anything himself and can divide his time between war command and scientific research.

He has many powerful and talented people under his command. Any one of them, such as Call, Angie, and Hank, is a great scientist who can advance human civilization.

Luo Xi only needs to give them general direction and provide them with a suitable environment and sufficient resources, and they can get everything done properly.

As the plan progressed rapidly, the first test of the dimensional engine was about to begin.

For safety reasons, Roche even arranged the experiment site in a star system near the solar system to ensure that no unexpected situations would occur that would affect the safety of the human home planet.

In the star system, a space battleship equipped with a human-made dimensional engine is now floating quietly in the void.

It is like those wrecked space ships sunk in space, pulled by the gravity of the stars, and constantly revolving around the center of gravity.

Luo Xi stood in the command center of the Mars base, staring intently at the holographic screen in front of him that was constantly flashing a torrent of green data.

Various monitoring devices collected a large amount of data, even taking into account the movement of planets and celestial bodies in the galaxy, various gravitational disturbances and cosmic microwave radiation.

Eliminate interference factors as much as possible to create an ideal environment for the experiment.

Now, all preparations have been completed, and even with his concentration, he is excited for the official arrival of this moment.

If the experiment is successful, then from this moment on, human history will enter a new chapter.

Human beings now have the confidence and means to completely break free from their fate.

"All systems have completed self-checks and are confirmed to be in good condition. Request to start the dimensional engine." The voice of Stoneman researcher Oligos sounded from the communication channel.

He is currently on a battleship equipped with a dimensional engine, and he and the battleship's intelligent computer are responsible for the normal progress of the experiment.

Luo Xi originally did not intend to use real people in the first experiment, as the risks involved were indeed incredibly great, but the stone man Origus strongly requested to participate in this mission.

"This is the mission we were created for, sir," said the stone man.

Seeing this, Luo Xi no longer refused. What he could do was to make the success rate of this experiment closer to 100%.

"Start the dimensional engine." Luo Xi's voice was calm and cool, and the order quickly reached the experimental warship through the subspace communication.

The stone man Origos pressed the button in front of him without hesitation, and then the energy of the reactor began to be extracted into the dimensional engine.

This dimensional engine, built by the Martian forge world, has many similarities with the human subspace engine, except that it is engraved with the unique psychic rune system of the gods on both the surface and inside.

Those runes form a psychic matrix, which opens a dimensional world at a specific frequency.

As the engines gradually started up, the five-kilometer-long battleship began to accelerate.

The deep blue plasma tail flame streaked across the dark Milky Way, leaving behind countless star-like lights and phantoms.

Luo Xi and other researchers, witnessing this scene in front of the holographic projection, couldn't help but feel as if they were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

At this moment, it was as if a sacred hymn sounded in the void, and countless moments of progress in human history overlapped together.

The first time a rocket left Earth and sent a satellite into low Earth orbit.

The first time humans landed on the moon, leaving footprints on this sacred Luna.

The first landing on Mars, the first colonization of Jupiter, and the first arrival in the Kuiper Belt, established a human colonial outpost in this extremely harsh natural environment.

For the first time, humans used the subspace engine to perform superluminal jump travel, leaving the star system that gave birth to them and entering the vast Milky Way.

And now, Roche, representing mankind, will use the dimensional engine for the first time to enter other parallel universes.

Although these universes are just parallel universes cut out and separated by the gods from the complete universe, this is also a very groundbreaking attempt.

If successful, it means that Roche will expand his sphere of influence to other parallel universes.

He will lead more humans, or other races that are unwilling to be enslaved, to revolt and cause the hypocritical empire of the gods to collapse.

Under the action of the dimensional engine, a subspace rift began to appear in the real universe.

The calm ether tide overflowed, and the battleship burst into a strong buzzing sound. Driven by the engine, it slowly entered the subspace.

Among the numerous parallel universes, subspace corridors separate each universe, making them appear infinitely close, but in fact there is an immeasurable distance between them.

Because the subspace itself has no concept of time and space.

Without the corresponding dimensional frequency, it would be impossible for humans to jump from the 1661 universe to other universes.

This is the ingenuity of the gods' design. They ensure the relative independence and security of these parallel universes. Even if a problem occurs in one of them, at least the problem will not spread quickly.

Just like those huge ships in the ocean always have many watertight compartments. Even if one of them is flooded, it will not affect the other parts.

But these are all based on the assumption that the unique technology trees of the Celestials and Eternals have not been leaked.

Generally speaking, even if the apostles sent by the gods fail for various reasons.

At least they could destroy their own dimensional battleships before being captured to ensure that their technology would not be leaked.

Moreover, the intelligent AI of the Eternals' battleships has an underlying logic set by the gods: once the battleship's information database is in danger of being leaked, the AI will autonomously destroy those information crystals.

And even if the battleship falls into the hands of another race, it will still be extremely difficult to crack the dimensional engine.

Not all races have this kind of technological and industrial strength.

But who made these Eternals happen to run into Roxi?

Ikaris underestimated his enemy and came directly to Earth to demand punishment.

Ajak and the other Eternals also lost their vigilance, causing their warships to become empty.

Roche unexpectedly teleported directly into their warship, controlled the intelligent AI and annihilated it, causing the information crystal clusters in the database to fall into human hands quickly and completely.

The technological power in Luo Xi's hands is also very powerful, and he is fully capable of cracking the secret.

The combined effect of multiple factors has led to an unprecedented crisis in the God's back garden.

And more importantly, the gods know nothing about this.

Ajak led the Eternals to betray the gods and took the initiative to help humans crack the technology and information stored in the battleship database.

With the help of the Necrons, Trazyn, humans were able to crack the Celestial technology even faster than imagined.

As the dimensional engine battleship entered the subspace, the speed of information transmission began to slow down and fluctuate.

Affected by the disorder of time and space in the sea of souls, sometimes the images transmitted back by information will be distorted.

Data streams poured down like a waterfall, and the monitors constantly fed back the status of the battleship and its surrounding environment.

"The dimensional engine is operating normally, and the energy output is stable. I have located the target and am approaching."

The voice of the Stone Man Origus rang out, filled with inspiring emotion.

What Roche obtained from the information crystal cluster of the Eternals' battleship was not only knowledge about the dimensional engine, but also a "star map" containing hundreds of parallel universes.

This star map records the frequencies of those parallel universes and can guide Ajak to carry out the will of the gods.

But now, this star map has fallen into Luo Xi's hands, and he naturally has to make good use of it.

He wants to select those parallel universes with unique potential or special features, and then send his legion to reveal the truth of the universe.

It can not only strike at the war potential of the gods, but also enhance their own war power.

The battleship continued to penetrate deeper into the warp, and Geller's stance had been activated to prevent the warp energy from interfering with and influencing the battleship itself.

Suddenly, there was an abnormal disturbance in the data flow on Luo Xi's side, which manifested as abnormal distortion in the holographic projection.

Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat.

"We encountered subspace fluctuations, but everything is still under control. Our ship is approaching the target universe."

Origues was unusually calm, or perhaps he simply didn't know what panic was.

Luo Xi didn't know how long the experimental warship had been sailing in the subspace, but about 28 hours later, the stone man on the other end of the communication sent a signal again.

"I have arrived at the target area. The dimensional engine is functioning well and can make a dimensional jump into the target universe at any time."

Luo Xi took a deep breath, he knew that the real danger had arrived.

Whether or not one can use the dimensional engine to jump into other parallel universes is the key to success or failure.

But then he approved the stone man's request.

"Allow the dimensional jump to proceed. Om Messiah is watching over you, Origus."

Roxi read out the name of the stone man, and Origus responded with great honor.

"Oh my God, Om Messiah."

"I will reach the other side."

The next moment, the dimensional engine burst out with dazzling light.

A faint blue energy field spread out and locked onto a precise position in the vast subspace.

The cosmic frequency chosen by Roche this time came from the existing coordinates stored in the Eternals battleship database.

Faced with this hidden parallel universe, Roche now only hopes that the Origus test ship can enter it smoothly.

The dimensional engine synchronized its frequency with the target universe, and a subspace rift opened up. Origos piloted the battleship and jumped back to the real universe.

Luo Xi was anxiously waiting for the result, when suddenly, the communication signal between them and Oligos was interrupted.

Countless garbled codes flashed endlessly on the holographic projection. Everyone was shocked for a moment, but they were unwilling to believe the result of failure.

The air seemed to freeze. In front of Luo Xi's eyes, time passed by minute by minute, but there was still no response from Origues.

"Failed?"

"This shouldn't be the case. We've thoroughly studied the dimensional engines on board the Eternals' warships, and previous simulations have clearly performed well."

Beast Hank held his head, wondering what went wrong.

After his X gene awakened further, thick blue hair grew all over his body, making him look like a maned beast.

At this moment, Oligos's distorted voice was heard again on the communication channel.

"grown ups……"

"I have arrived at the target universe, but there seems to be a problem with our communication system. There is a time flow difference between us..."

A hint of ecstasy suddenly appeared in Luo Xi's eyes.

It worked! It really worked!
Origos arrived at the target parallel universe, which means that from now on, the parallel universe system that the gods have painstakingly created will be opened to humans.

The forces under Luo Xi's command will penetrate into other parallel universes like mercury, expanding their existence to the greatest extent.

There are so many parallel universes, and maybe one of them has the technology or special individuals that Roche needs.

Perhaps those universes are not as important to Roche as the X-Men universe, but little by little, like water dripping through a stone, Roche firmly believes that small gains accumulated can also lead to qualitative changes.

And if they can't defend the X-Men universe, then the worst that can happen is they will run to other parallel universes and fight guerrilla warfare with the gods.

Anyway, even if the universe is destroyed, the biggest loss will be to the gods.

This is their back garden and base camp. If any blade of grass or tree is damaged, it has nothing to do with Luo Xi.

"Origus, how are you doing now? How is the battleship operating? Can you start the dimensional engine again and make a jump?"

Roche asked a series of questions. To prevent any errors in communication between universes, he repeated his questions three times, sending them out at different time intervals. About half an hour later, Origus's signal finally came back.

If Roche and Oligos want to communicate now, they must first send the signal into the subspace.

The signal is then relayed by the remaining micro-detectors in the subspace and sent to the other party's universe.

The signal attenuation and delay are unavoidable.

"The battleship has entered a parallel universe..."

"Sir, we are in good condition..."

"The dimension engine has entered an overload state and may require several days to cool down and debug."

Oligos's answer made Luo Xi feel relieved.

The dimensional engine they imitated was still inferior to the one built by the gods, and it needed to be cooled and overloaded after entering an unfamiliar universe.

But it works, it's fine. They have just started and everything is moving in a good direction.

"I order you to conceal your signal and for the ship to enter silent mode.

If circumstances permit, find the location of the Earth in that parallel universe and observe the developments on Earth."

"You only need to observe, no intervention is required. The experiment has been successful, so we will continue to send legions to your side.

Once we have accumulated enough strength, we will intervene in the development of that universe."

Luo Xi did not expect that Origos could intervene in anything with just one person and one ship. The most important thing he should do now was to hide on the spot and act as a nail in that universe.

This is just a spark, but we need to know that a single spark can start a prairie fire.

"Understood." Origus answered simply and neatly, and then fell silent.

Luo Xi immediately clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"My dear colleagues, our plan has been initially realized. What we need to do next is to continue to replicate this success."

"Next time, we will send out not just test ships or exploration vessels, but warships one after another, as well as fully armed space warriors and iron legions."

"The Emperor has placed the fate of humanity in our hands, and we have failed to live up to his expectations.

These abominable alien gods enslave the fate of humanity and control their life and death. Only when one of us falls completely and dies can this war end."

"We come from the Warhammer Universe. Not even the Four Chaos Gods can stop us, nor can the so-called gods from other universes."

Listening to Luo Xi's passionate speech, not to mention the Space Marines who came with him, as well as Cawl and the Stoneman Researcher.

Even newly joined humans like Beast Hank and Bolivar Trask felt a sense of solidarity against a common enemy.

They felt a strong sense of identity. They might come from different universes, but their identity as human beings gave them a position.

Even Sersi of the Eternals revealed a hint of recognition in her eyes.

The gods have been deceiving them all along, claiming that the Eternals are the apostles of the gods, doing some shady and dirty things for these high and mighty beings.

Hunt down the abnormal beings who caused the changes in the timeline of the parallel universe, slaughter those lives that have no power to resist, extract and collect their souls, and destroy civilizations one after another...

She did these things so often that sometimes when she closed her eyes, she could still feel the curses and mutterings of the dead souls.

She didn't want to go on like this anymore. She wanted to atone for her past self and liberate those innocent lives that were enslaved and deceived.

As a sheepdog, she wants to avenge her fellow sheepdogs who died in the farm and seek justice from the farmers like Tianshen.

Ajak saw all of Serxi's transformation. She just sighed and silently accepted the fact.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Having embarked on this path, they can only go all the way.

Next time, perhaps other Eternals will also be assigned by the gods to come and eliminate these rebellious humans, and kill themselves who betrayed them at the same time.

Ajak gritted her teeth. It didn't matter if she died, but she didn't want to see young Eternals like Sersi die like this.

In order to survive, they can only resist together.

"No!"

Ajak realized that she not only had to fight against her compatriots who were controlled by the gods, but also had to liberate them together.

The Eternals are merely tools in the hands of the Celestials. They use the Eternals and other races as lackeys to maintain order in the parallel universe.

Ajax had no answer to the question of whether they cared about the Eternals, but she actually already had an idea in her heart.

No one cares about the feelings of their tools, even if the tool has worked hard and served its owner for a long time.

If the tool is disobedient, the owner will only think about replacing it.

In this case, it would be better for them to rebel against the rule of the gods first. At least it would be better than being liquidated by the gods later.

Luo Xi seems to have a special magic.

From the moment he steps out of the Warhammer universe, he will lead more humans and more races that are unwilling to succumb to slavery to rise up.

Like Sersi and Ajak from the Eternals, they originally came to punish and capture Roxi.

But after being infected by him, these people are now planning to turn their guns around and shoot at their former master.

Mutants like Charles and Eric are even more closely united around Roche. Only in him do mutants see hope for freedom and fairness.

Luo Xi never promised them a bright future or generous rewards.

He brings hope, one of the few glimmers of hope in this dark universe.

However, it was this little spark of his that ignited the fighting spirit in the hearts of countless people.

Let them sacrifice everything for a common goal, even their own life and soul.

In the Warhammer universe, only the Emperor and a few Primarchs possess this kind of shining point, and now, Roche also has this precious quality.

"In addition to combating the corruption of Chaos and the Dark Gods, our fundamental goal is to break the shackles the gods have forged for this parallel universe and liberate those enslaved people."

Luo Xi's voice was transmitted to the ears of every soldier through the communication.

Some of them are cruising at the edge of the solar system, while others are working with industrial iron men to build other planets in the solar system into defense bases and industrial worlds.

Whether it's humans, mutants, stone men, iron men, or even the Eternals, everyone is united under a common goal.

After boosting morale, Luo Xi began to assign tasks to each department.

"Next, our forge worlds and industrial worlds will begin mass production of dimensional engines, while our space docks will produce matching warships."

“Our future strategic arrangements are destined to usher in an era of mobility.

We will be traveling to various parallel universes that are enslaved and oppressed, and we may also encounter enemies native to those universes, which means that the requirements for warships will be even heavier."

"Mars will obey your will, sage." Kaul replied. Roshi is now intentionally or unintentionally transferring the authority of Mars to him, letting him be in charge of the Martian forging world.

The X-Men universe hasn't had any major events at this point in time, and with Roxie's drastic intervention, many of the major events in the future won't necessarily happen again.

In this case, the significance of Luo Xi staying here has decreased. He may go to those more valuable worlds to discover new treasures.

When thinking of those parallel universes with infinite possibilities, even Luo Xi felt his heart surge with desire for knowledge and progress.

"By the way, our scientific research department must also synchronize the optimization and innovation of warships."

"The warships we have produced so far are all designs and structures brought from the Warhammer universe, which are already somewhat backward and outdated."

What Luo Xi mentioned is that the various Space Marine companies are still using the original battle barges.

Although this type of warship is still durable, it will become increasingly difficult to adapt as the intensity of future wars increases.

It would be better to start designing and building a new generation of ships with various functions now, and use their newly acquired technology trees to strengthen and upgrade them.

"Also, human warships like the Thundercloud-class planetary battleship, which are copies of the Golden Age, also have their own limitations.

I need you to pool your wisdom and design a new generation of powerful warships or other weapons of war."

Kaul nodded and said that he would assign these tasks to Angie, Hank, Fastos and others to work together.

"We don't just need more ships; we need more fighters."

"Coswayn, you and Hill will be responsible for continuing to expand the size of our Space Marine Legion.

The Earth United Government must cooperate with our actions. There is no time to argue with them now. Time waits for no one, and the gods may react faster than we imagine."

"The Mars Forge World and other newly built industrial worlds will provide you with complete equipment supplies."

Coswayn nodded in agreement. He also hoped that the number of legions under his command would be as large as possible.

There are billions of people on Earth today, but once they are divided by age, screened by physical condition, and screened by mental will, this number immediately drops many times.

According to his estimate, the number of interstellar warriors that can be obtained by the planet Earth alone may be between 500,000 and 1 million.

No matter how urgent it is, we cannot select some garbage into the Space Marine Legion.

You must know that this new generation of Primaris Astartes has more powerful power than the past, but at the same time, it also requires stronger will and belief to control this power.

Kaul said, "Sage, if your will is followed, we need to produce more warships, which will require more materials and energy."

"Now the production capacity of Mars' casting time has reached a critical value. Once the utilization of resources within the solar system is improved, we will need to establish production bases in other star systems."

Luo Xi understood that Kaur was asking for more power from him, and he agreed to the other party's request without blinking an eye.

"Yes, your request is not excessive. I will have Corswayn and the Iron Legion cooperate with you. You will use the solar system as your origin and launch the Second Great Expedition in all directions."

"Those who were unable to fight alongside the Emperor can now make up for their regrets. We have begun a new Great Crusade in another universe."

Luo Xi made a joke and everyone burst into laughter.

What he said was indeed true. Apart from the war dog Hal, no other Astartes had participated in the Terra Unification War.

"And as the number of universes we need to conquer increases, you will once again be separated and fight independently, instead of being crowded into a small solar system like you are now."

"That's what I wish for." said Qin Xin, the leader of the White Scars.

The blood of Chagatai Khan flows in his bones, and he yearns for the unknown and freedom the most.

Now that he is really given a chance, allowing him to lead a special force to harass the parallel universe of the gods is simply the best arrangement for him.

"We are all weapons of war created by the Emperor. Separation will only make us more effective, my lord," said Pollux. "In fact, we all want to compete to see who can conquer these universes faster, just like during the Great Crusade."

"More universes mean more psionic aliens, which is beneficial for saving our genetic father."

Azkaelon said, all he could think about was rescuing Sanguinius and bringing the Archangel back.

Seeing that the Space Marines were all full of fighting spirit, Luo Xi felt relieved.

When he left the Warhammer universe, he took these elite Astartes with him so that he would have enough reliable manpower to use when needed.

And a mere X-Men universe is obviously not enough to satisfy these powerful warriors. Fortunately, there are many parallel universes that can provide them with opportunities for war.

Luo Xi has made plans. Outstanding commanders such as Costwain, Hill, and Sevatar will each lead an expedition fleet and carry out their own expeditions.

In the past, they only expeditioned within a galaxy, destroying the enemies of humanity for the Emperor.

But now, they will be left to conquer numerous parallel universes, fighting for humanity and the fate of freedom.
