Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 191 Hidden Dangers and Expansion

In an undeveloped galaxy in the Rostov subsector, the Necromancers who had previously escaped from Rostov II were traveling through the silent, ruined Dynasty Tombs.

The walls of the tomb are covered with ancient runes, flashing a faint green light, as if telling of the past splendor and glory.

The air was filled with a cold metallic smell, and time had stagnated here for tens of millions of years.

This is one of the core worlds of the Farah Dynasty, and the domain of the dynasty's overlord that this crypt technician serves.

The Farah Dynasty was not a large dynasty. It only had one crown world and several core worlds, and no more than ten edge worlds.

Moreover, the dynasty's crown world and core world are basically concentrated within three star systems, which makes the territory of the Farah dynasty seem even smaller and humbler.

However, although the dynasty's territory is small, its power cannot be underestimated.

Each core world was once a witness to the glory days of the Farah Dynasty. Although most of them are now silent, they still hide powerful technology and power.

However, it is this seemingly weak dynasty that suppresses a piece of Star God fragment.

This is the deepest foundation of the Farah Dynasty and the reason why the dynasty can stand firm in this galaxy.

Although that was all sixty million years ago, before the Necron Dynasties fell into slumber at the behest of the Silent King.

The tomb technician passed through corridors that had been silent for tens of millions of years and came to the core tomb chamber of this tomb world.

Then he knelt in front of the door of the core tomb chamber and sent a coded message to the tomb in a humble manner.

The message contained what he had seen and heard on Rostov II, especially regarding the movements of the Imperium of Man and their desire for Necron technology.

The tomb chamber did not respond, but the tomb technician was not in a hurry. He just remained kneeling, as if waiting for something.

For the Necrons, their metal bodies make them tireless, and the sixty million years of sleep have also given them patience that is unimaginable for humans.

If the Overlord can be awakened, the Cryptid will be able to borrow his army and exact revenge on the hairless apes who plundered his laboratory, showing them the mistake of invading the territory of a Necron noble!
Time passed in silence, and the crypt technician's logic circuits echoed with the battles and experiences on Rostov.

He was angry about the destruction of his laboratory and heartbroken that his valuable research results had been plundered.

In particular, in his opinion, those hairless naked apes are simply incapable of understanding the profundity and wisdom of technological wizardry, and they will only waste his precious scientific research results.

It feels like you are watching someone using a precious lithography machine as a battering ram. The golden bell is destroyed and the earthen pot thunders, which makes people feel the waste and degradation like burning the piano and cooking the crane.

The Crypt Master is desperate to prevent this from happening and make the hairless apes pay for destroying his laboratory.

Despite the rage echoing through his logic circuits, the crypt technician remained calmly kneeling before the Overlord's tomb door, neither urging nor getting impatient, simply waiting patiently. Finally, the door to the core chamber slowly opened, and a cold green light shone through the crack.

In the low-Earth orbit of Rostov II, the metal skeleton of the starport gleams with a cold luster under the light of the stars.

The expansion project has been going on for some time. Workers and servitors are shuttling between the berths, and technical priests are busy holding various masses and Mechanicus rituals to install various equipment and appease the machine spirits. The entire starport is a busy scene.

It’s not that there’s something wrong with the starport, which has already been expanded once, but there are simply not enough berths.

As the strategic position of the Rostov sub-sector continues to rise, more and more ships need to dock and be maintained here.

Moreover, the three Moon-class cruisers that the Ecclesiarchy promised Chen Xi had been "built" ahead of schedule thanks to the intervention of Holy Terra, and were fully staffed with crew members and officers. They arrived in Rostov a few days ago.

The arrival of these three Moon-class cruisers marked a significant improvement in Rostov's fleet strength, but it also put enormous pressure on the starport's berths.

Three Moon-class ships, plus Rostov's own black ship, a strike cruiser, a Dominator-class cruiser, a light cruiser of Guterres and a forge ship of Tonya. With so many ships, the starport that can berth four cruisers is no longer enough.

As a result, the frigate Gabbro could only move pitifully to Rostov III and dock at the newly built starport there to berth her own foundry ship.

Mai Mai and Mu Se were quite dissatisfied with this, but they could do nothing about the tense situation in the star port.

If the starport is not expanded, such a large fleet will be impossible to stop.

"According to the previous agreement, I have obtained the relevant equipment and modules for the production of void ships for you. It only requires a certain degree of modification and expansion of the original maintenance dock to transform it into a small shipyard that can produce light cruisers." Tonya introduced the situation to Chen Xi, with a hint of pride in her voice.

She had previously returned to the Mariupol Forging World to report the situation to her teacher and to fulfill her promise to Chen Xi.

Her efforts were not in vain, and she successfully brought Rostov the key equipment for producing void ships.

Of course, the most important thing is to submit the document issued by 32 and endorsed by Belisarius Cawl to the Mariupol Forge World to clear her good sister Olivia of the charge of technological heresy.

Olivia also returned to the Mariupol Forge World for this matter. After a series of examinations and procedures, Olivia finally cleared her name and successfully took back the forge left to her by Kaul.

Of course, due to the relationship between Olivia and Tonya, this forge now nominally belongs to them both.

"What ship production licenses do we have now?" The successful establishment of the shipyard did not make Chen Xi excited. He knew very well that building a shipyard was only the first step. The key was to obtain enough ship production licenses and to establish a production system to maintain the operation of the shipyard.

Haven’t you seen that the two major overlords who once dominated the world in the 3K era have inevitably ushered in the decline of the shipbuilding industry? Although the shipyards are still there, their shipbuilding capabilities have already fallen into a terrible state.

The system, which sounds simple but is very complicated to say and do, is the key to determining the problem.
