Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Chapter 425 Starry Sky

In the distant and ancient second millennium, it was the primitive era before humans flew out of their home star and headed for the sea of ​​stars. At that time, Terra was still called Earth.

The ancient people on earth looked up at the stars, and their hearts were filled with all kinds of fantasies about interstellar travel.

Among them is a human writer who created a science fiction novel based on the most mysterious ultimate celestial body in the universe, the black hole.

In this novel called "Starry Sky", the author fictionalized an alien race called the Nelonians. The human scientific research fleet discovered the Nelonians' home planet at the edge of the event horizon of a black hole. A huge and eccentric installation.

The human scientific expedition fleet was anchored far away from the black hole, silently observing the strange behavior of this alien race. The Nelon people were expanding the giant facility day by day, but no one knew what the purpose was, nor what would happen after the facility was put into operation.

This kind of observation continued for hundreds of years. The Nelon people's big project was finally completed. The scientific research fleet observed that the Nelon people's ships began to evacuate in large numbers, and the entire population of the planet left the vicinity of the giant facility. The scientific research fleet still has little idea of ​​what is going to happen.

Finally, at the moment when the facility was activated, the human fleet was disturbed by an extremely powerful magnetic field, and they understood why the Nelon people wanted to evacuate urgently.

That giant facility, which took hundreds of thousands of years to build, is a super electromagnet with extremely powerful power.

The reason why the Nerons spent a huge amount of time building this super electromagnet was to save their home planet. The home planet of the Nerons had long been captured by the gravity of the black hole, and one day it would be sucked into the endless abyss of despair. In order to save their home planet from the fate of being swallowed by the black hole, the Nerons built this crazy facility, using the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces, to counteract the gravity of the black hole.

In that ancient man's fantasy, as long as he could create a strong enough electromagnetic force - how big would it be? The gravitational force is so great that it exceeds the black hole - it can win this tug-of-war with the doomsday and forcibly tear out the matter that is about to be sucked into the black hole or even has been sucked into the black hole.

So this alien race called the Nelonians spent a lot of time building a super electromagnet. They turned the black hole from the inside out, like turning a sock from front to back.

——The above is the main content of "Starry Sky".

This novel has many shortcomings and many logical flaws. The astrophysics at that time was not sound enough, and the author might not even know that black holes themselves also have strong magnetic fields. He thought that black holes attract matter only by gravity... But in the distant 22nd millennium, in the golden age when human footsteps spread all over the galaxy, there was a group of people in the technologically advanced Ghoul Nebula who tried to realize the ultimate fantasy of the ancient man on Earth about black holes.

This is the artifact that Perturabo will obtain during this trip, a super electromagnet born in the golden age: [Nightingale's Anchor].

This was a forbidden artifact that could create a magnetic field strong enough to flip a black hole... in theory, but before the Jin people had time to experiment with the facility after creating it, the Iron Man Rebellion broke out, and this fantasy spanning 20 millennia was buried along with the decline of human civilization on this rusty, semi-mechanized planet, never to see the light of day again.

"The Nightingale Anchor is almost as big as the planet that buried it. We need to take the entire planet with us and wait for the right time to move it to the vicinity of Faya to activate it." Perturabo took a deep breath and said, "Let's get started."

The Iron Blood arrived in low orbit around the Nightingale Anchor, and the Iron Warriors began trying to awaken this ancient artifact born in the Golden Age.

As Perturabo led his descendants through the ruins in search of the control room of the artifact, they did not notice that, with the Blood of Steel hovering in the low-Earth orbit of the Nightingale Anchor as the center, strings of crimson strange codes began to spread rapidly among the large number of mechanical wreckages that were everywhere in the Ghoul Nebula.

Long before Perturabo found an entrance to the control room, the Sovereign Protocol had taken control of Nightingale's Anchor.

At the same time, the captain of the Iron Warriors, the warsmith 'Fagatu Regilock', led an elite guard to the orbit of a demon world located in the eastern section of the Unbreakable Line and visited the Black Legion's Glorious Queen-class flagship: the Spirit of Vengeance.

Fagatu Regirok brought the will of Perturabo, saying that he needed the help of the Warmaster of Chaos. The Iron Warriors wanted to borrow a notorious bastard from the Black Legion, that annoying guy, whose Name——

"Fabius Bayer."

Fajatu Regilock looked Abaddon in the eye and said, "The Primarch's cause requires the assistance of a skilled pharmacist. Although his character is questionable, Bayer is undoubtedly the best candidate we can find. I hope to borrow him for a while."

This request put Abaddon in a dilemma.

With Perturabo's reputation as the original body, borrowing a pharmacist is not a difficult matter in principle. Normally, Abaddon would be happy to cooperate with the Iron Warriors to bring himself closer to the original body. relationship, but the current situation is far from what it used to be.

In recent years, the Black Legion has been continuously invading the Empire's Forge World of Huang Quan No. 8. This is a long-term tug-of-war of attrition. The radical mechanical sages on Huang Quan No. 8 are undoubtedly a hard nut to crack. The forge world's force is so powerful that even the Chaos Warmaster's all-out attack cannot achieve results in a short period of time. Instead, the power of the Black Legion is constantly being consumed.

If it weren't for the large number of 'very strong' Azjan units that were sent to the front lines to serve as cannon fodder, Abaddon simply wouldn't be able to withstand long-term attrition on this scale.

What is irritating is that Fabius Bayer did not hand over the secret of cloning the Azjan worm to Abaddon. He firmly held this valuable technology in his own hands. If the Iron Warriors were really allowed to borrow it, Without Bayer, the Black Legion will lose a steady stream of space slug armies, and the Chaos Warmaster will no longer have any hope of winning Huang Quan No. 8.

Fagatu Regirok saw Abaddon's concerns. He pounded his fist on his chest and said, "Don't worry about it. My respected Warmaster, the Lord of Steel told me before we set off. After his promise, as long as you can lend Bayer to us for a period of time, the original body will personally take action to help the Black Legion capture Huangquan No. 8."

Chapter 426 The Great Khan!

An ancient Terran sage once said: If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

After the Ghoul Constellation obtained the ancient artifact 'Nightingale's Anchor' that flipped the black hole, Perturabo finally had a little bit of confidence in his next move to invade the capital of the Human Federation.

Another sage from ancient Terra said: Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.

Therefore, before officially starting the operation, Perturabo needs to collect as much intelligence as possible about the Human Federation, the more detailed the better.

While Perturabo was lingering in the Ghoul Star Cluster, a large company of Iron Warriors led by Captain Fagatu Regilock crossed the turbulence of the ether and, with Fabius Bile, a senior pharmacist borrowed from the Black Legion, began to head towards the Solar Segmentum, the core of the Empire in the western part of the galaxy.

In the symbiosis experience hundreds of years ago, the expression of part of Bao's broken chromosomes was integrated into the genes of the green-skinned orcs. If you want to obtain a complete Bao, you must separate these Bao chromosomes from the green-skinned body. Fragments, and looking at the entire galaxy, where are the densest concentrations of green-skinned orcs?

In the core hinterland of the human empire: the Sun Sector-Armageddon Sub-sector-Armageddon.

"Orcs from all over the galaxy spent hundreds of years migrating here from all over the stars. There are so many of them, and the scale of the green tide is so large that the powerful force field even interferes with the navigation light emitted by the Terra Astronomican, making the golden holy light that symbolizes the Golden Throne also tinged with a bit of hot green."

Fabius Bile sat in the cabin of the Iron Warriors' battle barge, Stonebreaker, looking at the colorful starry sky of the Solar Segmentum with layers of green, and said:

"If I hadn't known in my heart that this was a visual disturbance caused by the powerful force field of a large number of orcs gathered together, I would have thought that the dark sun above Terra was also burning with emerald flames."

"Perhaps it's not an illusion caused by visual interference." Captain Fagatu said perfunctorily: "The false emperor sitting in Terra is full of deceptions and lies. He loves to make mysteries the most."

Bayer closed his mouth angrily after hearing this.

Bile was a very talkative man. Along the way, he took the initiative to talk about different topics many times in an attempt to communicate with the First Captain of the Iron Warriors, but Fagatu did not let him do so. Perturabo's descendants were made of steel inside and out. The competent First Captain carefully collected and browsed the latest developments in the Armageddon sub-sector, preparing for the next move.

It was still some time before he emerged from the Sea of ​​Souls and reached the target point. The bored Bayer stood up and motioned to Fagatu to let him take a look.

The current situation in the Hachigedon war zone is as follows:

After Guilliman led his army to the Northern Expedition and launched the "Storm Coup" and proclaimed himself the Regent of the Empire, the Imperial troops that were still holding on in the Armageddon sub-sector were withdrawn under Guilliman's order.

Robert Guilliman judged that the number of greenskins in the Armageddon theater had exceeded the limit that the Empire could bear. The cost of devoting a large number of troops to recapture Armageddon regardless of casualties would be extremely huge and would be several times the benefits. So many.

But now the Human Empire has been torn apart, the death wail of the loving father has cut off the warp routes, and more than 2/3 of the star fields have lost contact. Guilliman, who has hastily assumed power, is carrying out an unyielding expedition to recover lost territory while stabilizing the political situation on Terra. At this time, every bit of manpower loyal to the Emperor is extremely precious, and it is not advisable to invest in the orcs, who are doing a thankless job.

Therefore, Guilliman gave up on Armageddon as a short-term strategy.

Mars was firmly opposed to this decision, but when Guilliman asked the Mechanical Magi why they cared so much about this planet called Armageddon, he asked, 'Is this planet more powerful than the thousands in deep space? Is the world of the Empire still important, waiting to be saved? ' At that time, the mechanical sages of Mars looked at each other and were speechless.

Even at this time, Mars still held on to his little secret and refused to show it to anyone. Guilliman went against the majority's opinion and completely gave up Armageddon.

Therefore, in the 40rd year of the 63th millennium, when the Iron Warriors' fleet headed to the Sun Star Territory, Armageddon had completely become a green-skinned world.

Today, Armageddon is divided up among several powerful orc clans. Led by powerful war bosses, the greenskins fight and compete with each other for control of the planet and the throne that symbolizes the center.

That, the 'Khan Throne'.

Whoever can conquer Armageddon and sit on the throne of Khan will gain the favor of Gork and Mao, and will become the biggest, greenest, strongest, most powerful, most domineering, most fierce, coolest, and most stunning green-skinned guy recognized by all orcs in the galaxy, and will ascend to become the commander of all orcs - the Great Khan.

"There are now numerous orc clans and tribes active in the Armageddon war zone, large and small, and it is difficult to count them." A mortal clerk with a highly cybernetic body reported to Captain Fagatu: "The most powerful clans are:

"The [Goff Clan] is led by the barbarian beheading king 'Drodrog'."

"The [Xie Ri Clan] led by the supreme speeding overlord 'Cut Er Bone Eater'."

"The [Bad Moon Clan] is commanded by the super-excited master of technology 'Ward Gold Teeth'."

"The [Blood Ax Clan] led by the Assault Grand Master 'Occamon Drumtear'"

As he spoke, the clerk's face changed slightly, and his tone became strange: "And, the Extreme Clan led by 'Maurice Gosa' who claims to be the captain of the 13th Legion."

Fagatu Reggie Locke and Fabius Bayer were stunned at the same time.

"What clan are you talking about?"

"Extreme...Extreme clan, sir."

"What title does the orc leader of the Extreme Clan claim to have?"

"First Company Commander of the 13th Legion..." The mortal secretary's face was pale, and cold sweat soaked the fabric on the back of his clothes.

"Damn it!" Fagato angrily threw a projection cube in his hand to the ground. He stood up and snatched the information from the clerk's hand. He saw that the battlefield of Armageddon was in chaos in the images collected by the front-line scouts.

The orc slashers of the Goff clan rampaged through the mountains and seas of beasts, wielding their swords and axes and hacking around indiscriminately. The bikers of the Evil Sun clan, led by the Supreme Speedster Overlord, sped across the surface of the planet on motorcycles and karts emitting thick smoke. Their welded accelerators always managed to smash both the enemy and themselves to pieces.

The upstarts of the Bad Moon Clan drove their Gorilla Gundams and expensive Ancient Havoc to wreak havoc on the battlefield, while the assaulters of the Blood Axe Clan roamed around, looking for the weak points of other orc clans in an attempt to defeat them in one fell swoop.

In this chaotic situation, the most conspicuous is undoubtedly the giant orc army with uniform steps, orderly formation, well-equipped and well-trained, wearing uniform blue power armor.

The boys of the 'Extreme Clan', led by Captain Maurius Gosa, captured cities and territories. They skillfully used various tactics recorded in the Astartes Codex to compete with several other orc clans. Their neat tactical formations and accurate and rapid strikes made the slashing kings of the Goff clan very afraid.

On the ground battlefield of Armageddon, battle cries such as "For Guilliman!" and "For Brother Emperor and Brother Emperor!" resounded through the sky. Iron Warriors First Company Commander Fagatu Regirock slumped in his chair, with an expression on his face that he had seen a ghost.

Chapter 427 Paradox Engine

When the Stonebreaker surfaced from Mandeville Point in the system where Armageddon is located, this battle barge belonging to the Iron Warriors had just emerged when it was attacked by several major orc clans.

Fortunately, Perturabo was well prepared for this. Before jumping out of the subspace, Captain Fagatu left the headquarters and went to the prison in the lower cabin to drag out the sacrifices that had been prepared.

They were serfs kidnapped from the agricultural world of the Human Empire. They were half-clothed and bruised, and they were restrained in a dark and crowded lower cabin.

Fagatu casually picked up two slaves and threw them into a black mechanical device similar to a 'millstone'. This was an ancient relic from the dark age of technology, an artifact entrusted to him by the original body himself before setting off.

As energy was pumped into the pipeline, the mechanical 'millstone' began to turn, and the overflowing blood slid down the gaps in the millstone, flowing out a beautiful blood-colored pattern on the altar.

Sharp cries echoed in the deep cabins of the Stonebreaker. They were the screams of the souls of slaves whose bodies were worn away by mechanical millstones. The ancient machinery drank in the pure blood, and the holy relics from the dark age of technology began to operate.

The high-explosive bombs and biting laser eyes fired by the orcs in the distance were about to hit the outer shield of the Stonebreaker, but as the mechanical grinding wheel turned, the holy relics from the Dark Ages were awakened, and these attacks mysteriously disappeared.

The airspace in front of the Stonebreaker was empty, and no torpedoes or lasers ever flew towards them.

This is the ability of this holy relic that requires human blood to be activated. It does not directly resist/deflect enemy attacks like a conventional energy shield, nor does it transfer the attacks it receives into the subspace like a void shield. It flooded.

The 'Mechanical Millstone' directly erased the cause of the Stonebreaker's injuries from the source. The orcs' cannon bores were cold, and they had not launched any attacks from just now until now.

"The Paradox Engine, a dark relic that erases 'facts' like an eraser erases a pencil drawing." Fabius Bayer recognized the cause of this horrific phenomenon.

Briefly introduce the principle of the paradox engine, assuming that Bayer is about to be shot at this moment:

The enemy pulls out a gun - aims at Bayer's head - pulls the trigger - fires the bullet - hits the headshot

This is a complete assassination process.

If you want to stop this process, generally speaking, you have to find a way to shoot down the enemy's weapon before he shoots, or you can quickly find a bunker to avoid and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, or you can strike first and shoot the enemy with your backhand to see who has the American style. Iai is relatively fast.

The way the Paradox Engine solves this problem is to make the bullet that hit itself not exist from the beginning.

"Humans in the Dark Ages conducted such in-depth research on science that many relics left by the Golden Man seem like gods to us." Fagatu Regilock watched the blood flowing in front of him slowly slow down. He picked up a sleeping person and threw him into the dry mechanical millstone. Then, a loud cry came out from the mechanical millstone.

A few seconds later, a ball of pink minced meat was sent to the food processing plant on an automatic conveyor belt.

Most things in the dark technological age are like this: easy to use, powerful, and inexpensive. The disadvantage is that only the most morally corrupt and extreme means can be used to activate these mysterious ancient relics.

This is also the reason why the official name of the so-called Golden Age of Humanity is the "Dark Age of Technology". The scientific research of the Golden People is often dark and distorted, and they use various inhumane atrocities to promote their research.

When human footprints spread across the starry sea, the threat of aliens was suppressed by human's powerful technology, and the only ones left to harm the human race were humans themselves.

The Stonebreaker's engines were running at full speed as it rushed towards Armageddon. The large number of green junk ships gathered in the galaxy had gone crazy. Attacks from various tribes and clans came one after another. Torpedoes, guided missiles, nova cannons, macro cannons, warp wave cannons... all kinds of weapons launched various attacks. The ocean of matter and energy submerged the Iron Warriors' battle barges in a sea of ​​death.

However, the Paradox Engine continued to run, and the Stonebreaker moved straight forward, as if the sea of ​​blazing energy in front of it did not exist.
