My Desperate Journey in 40k

"Do you remember what I told you before? The 13th Regiment's leader, Xiao Changqing, led the 13th Regiment to board a Necromancer warship. They just sent a message that they have successfully captured a Necromancer warship and are defending the bridge, waiting for follow-up troops to support them. There are still a large number of Necromancers on the Necromancer warship."

Captain Jiang Tao looked at Wang Ming who was overly surprised, and quickly reported the whole situation to Wang Ming. He also knew the importance of obtaining a Necron ship.

"Let the first and second regiments land on the Necromancer warship. Save it at all costs. If all else fails, you can just dismantle the engine and bring it back."

Wang Ming wiped the tea from his mouth and quickly said to Captain Jiang Tao, quickly dispatch the First and Second Regiments, the two most elite regiments, to land on the Undead to support the Thirteenth Regiment. If the entire battleship cannot be saved, then do the next best thing and do everything possible to bring the engine back.

"I understand, Captain Wang Ming. I will pass on the order right away."

Captain Jiang Tao replied to Wang Ming that he understood the importance of the Necromancer engine, the technology of faster-than-light travel that could escape the warp. This was extremely important to humans, a psychic species. As long as they had this, even if they couldn't completely escape the influence of the warp, it would at least allow humans to say goodbye to dangerous warp travel.

"Another mission, and I just came back... Wait! What did you say? Necromancer warship!? Ye Fan asked the brothers to take all the equipment they can carry, and by the way, put Wu Xuan in that thing, what's it called? Yes, E-013, quickly ask the First Engineer Company to put him in!"

In the cafeteria of the "Sun Fortress", Hu Jin had just picked up a plate of freshly baked Gorokus steak when he saw Captain Jiang Tao appear in front of him and explain the mission to him.

As soon as Hu Jin heard that he was going on a mission, the Gorox steak in his hand instantly lost its flavor. He just wanted to eat a meal when he had to go on another mission. But when he heard that the 13th Regiment had captured a Undead warship and needed their support, he immediately put down the Gorox steak and rushed towards the military camp.

As a time traveler, Hu Jin knew the importance of Necron warships, the engines for navigating outside the subspace. This was the technology that the Emperor had been dreaming about for many years, and he was determined to get this thing at all costs.

"I understand. In half an hour, all members of the first regiment are ready and take all the equipment that the boss gave us!"

Wang Xiaofa also received the order. He immediately assembled the first regiment and began to prepare quickly. Wang Ming had already prepared ships for the two regiments, two "Golden Age" cruisers. This Undead battleship must be obtained, at least the engine must be obtained.

245. Chapter 242 Fleet Battle, Power of Artificial Intelligence

245.

The two cruisers shuttled through the battlefield, occasionally firing a round of light spears and macro cannons at the enemy ships around them. Their void shields flashed continuously along with the attacks of the Undead warships.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the void shield feels like it's about to overload, the Om Messiah prayer is useless, the machine spirit is unhappy."

In front of the void shield generator, the traverser from the First Engineer Company who was guarding the void shield looked at the void shield that was about to be overloaded, and spoke to Wang Xiaofa in the bridge with the communicator.

"I know it's not easy to hold on until now, but the propulsion efficiency of the sublight speed engine is already the maximum normal speed. We can't drive at 99% of the speed of light to crash into it, right? That ship of people and the Necromancer warship are all doomed."

Wang Xiaofa replied to the time traveler with a helpless look on his face, it was not that he did not want to go faster, it was just that the conventional sailing speed was only that fast, and he was already moving forward. If he wanted to go faster, he would have to use sub-light speed. However, if that speed was really used in the case of close combat with such a dense fleet, who knows how many ships would be hit if it was really used.

"Captain, it's okay. I'm in the engine room now. I've already made an agreement with the Machine Spirit. As long as it can speed up, I'll give it a major maintenance when I get back."

At this moment, the time traveler who was guarding the engine room of the First Engineer Company suddenly said to Wang Xiaofa that he had already agreed with the Machine Soul that as long as the engine was accelerated, he would give the engine a major maintenance, even the engine casing would be properly maintained.

"You've made a promise to the Machine Spirits? What on earth did you learn from the Machine Oilers?"

Wang Xiaofa listened to the words of the time traveler in shock. Although he knew that the First Engineer Company had a lot of academic exchanges with the Oil Man, he never expected that they could actually communicate with the Machine Soul and even negotiate terms with the Machine Soul.

"Come, our mechanical servants, mechanical spirits, please respond to my call and grant my request."

The time traveler recited the Machine Soul Prayer created by the First Engineer Company. After he finished reciting, the engine suddenly began to overclock, and the plasma tail flame cut through the void, carrying the ship towards the Undead battleship.

"Captain Wang Xiaofa, I detected that the engine power suddenly became abnormal. What did you do?"

The artificial intelligence stood beside Wang Xiaofa and asked Wang Xiaofa that although he saw the conversation between the traverser and the machine soul, he still didn't understand what happened. Why did humans make the engine run at overpowered speed just by saying a few words to it?

"You can't ask me this question. You can ask the Tech-Priest of the Mechanicus after the mission is over."

Wang Xiaofa looked at the artificial intelligence, spread his hands, and said to it helplessly that except for the time travelers from the First Engineer Company who understood this thing called machine soul, the other time travelers were completely in the dark.

"Okay, Captain Wang Xiaofa, we are rapidly approaching the target and are expected to make contact in two minutes. Please be prepared."

The holographic projection of artificial intelligence nodded, and then said to Wang Xiaofa that the speed of the ship had been increased and it would soon come into contact with the Undead battleship.

"I understand. Notify all crew members and prepare their weapons and equipment. We are boarding the ship!"

Wang Xiaofa said to the artificial intelligence, we are finally almost there, this battleship must be obtained by humans, at least the engine must be obtained.

"Let's get started. After we are transported to our location, you will join the fleet and continue the battle."

The ship finally reached the Necrons, and another cruiser from the Second Regiment was also approaching, and the First Regiment was preparing to land on the Necrons warship.

"Understood, Captain Wang Xiaofa, for humanity, for the Federation... no, now... for the Empire..."

The artificial intelligence said to Wang Xiaofa that his core algorithm still put the Human Federation first, but he realized immediately that it was no longer a Federation. The Federation had disappeared into history. Now it was the Human Empire, an empire that was divorced from science and rationality.

"Well... the Human Empire is ultimately a continuation of the Federation. Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, they are all for the continuation of humanity in this universe. Their purpose is the same."

After hearing what the artificial intelligence said, Wang Xiaofa said to him that whether it is the human federation or the empire, they are all for the human race itself, and they are just different paths to the same destination.

"Let's go, we still have an entire galaxy of humans to save."

After Wang Xiaofa said the last sentence to the artificial intelligence, he put on his helmet, walked to the torpedo compartment, and stepped onto the boarding torpedo.

"Everything is for humanity. I will be loyal to humanity. I am a soldier of the Human Federation."

After Wang Xiaofa left, the artificial intelligence stood on the empty bridge and talked to himself alone. As an artificial intelligence, he would always be loyal to humans. No matter what humans became, he would always be loyal. This was the purpose of his existence and his whole life. He was an extremely standard human federal soldier.

"We have landed. All companies, please pay attention. Our mission is to clear the entire battleship of undead forces. Nano-detection robots have been released and are drawing three-dimensional terrain maps along the corridors and structures inside the ship. It is expected to be completed in ten minutes. At that time, each company commander will choose an area to be responsible for and begin to gradually clear out the aliens. The stars are immortal, and mankind will survive forever. Brothers, for the empire!"

The First Regiment landed on the Necromancer battleship. After they landed, Wang Xiaofa immediately issued combat mission requirements. The First Regiment has always been a tactical force. Although they can be as reckless as the Second Regiment on some large battlefields, they will definitely arrange comprehensive tactical operations as long as they have the opportunity.

"The interior map of the Necromancer battleship drawn by the First Regiment has been handed over and synced to your personal terminals. Please check it. Except for Wu Xuan's solo action, the other companies are now starting to choose their battle areas."

Ten minutes later, the second group also landed on the Undead's Tomb Ship. Hu Jin looked at the internal map of the Undead warship he received and said to the time travelers of the second group.

Except for Wu Xuan, the humanoid nuclear weapon who acted alone, all other companies in the Second Regiment quickly chose the areas they were responsible for, then quickly dispersed and began the cleanup operation.

"Wu Xuan, you are free. You are responsible for responding to the support requests from each company. Also, pay attention to the brothers in the First Engineer Company. They haven't fought many battles. Protect them as much as possible."

Hu Jin looked at the E-013 Extinction Iron Man in front of him and said to Wu Xuan who was operating the Iron Man.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Captain. I feel like I can conquer a world by myself. My speed is even faster than the boss. I can reach the location the moment I receive a request for support."

Wu Xuan told Hu Jin that after replacing the body of E-013 Extinction Iron Man, he felt that he could completely exterminate the aliens in a world by himself and became extremely confident.

"Okay, let's get started. First, follow the First Engineer Company to obtain the Necromancer's engine technology, and then join the battlefield."

Hu Jin nodded to Wu Xuan, then patted his metal body and walked towards the position of the first company. Hu Jin needed to lead the brothers of the first company personally. Ye Fan looked at Wu Xuan and waved his arm at him, and then they walked into the interior of the Undead battleship.

"Okay, then, brothers from the First Engineer Company, let's get started and get the engine first."

Wu Xuan looked at the traversers from the First Engineer Company who walked out of the boarding torpedo, spoke to them, and then led them to the location marked as the engine room on the map.

"Hmm..., to be on the safe side, should I go over there as well?"

Wang Ming stood in the bridge of the "Sun Fortress". He read the news that two regiments had landed on the Necromancer, and wondered whether he should go up as well to be on the safe side.

"Forget it. I know the abilities of Wang Xiaofa and Hu Jin. They should be able to handle these issues."

Wang Ming thought about it for a long time and finally chose to believe in the strength of the two regiments. As the two earliest regiments, their capabilities are still very strong.

"The next step is to deal with the Necron Fleet. The World Engine has been shattered, and the Exorcist Dead Zone has been broken. After dealing with the Necron Fleet, we will head directly to the 500th World of Ultramar. We should also reunite with Guilliman."

Wang Ming called up the holographic projection sand table of the fleet battle and began to overview the entire battle situation. Although he could not intervene too much in the fleet battle, he could still control some drones and missiles to provide support to the fleet. No matter how powerful a Primarch was, he could not intervene in the fleet battle unless he could land on the enemy warship or his command ability was super strong.

Wang Ming operated a group of drones and began to look for valuable targets on the battlefield. The Primarch's command ability began to emerge at this moment. Wang Ming found that he could see many details on the battlefield, such as where he could cooperate with his own ships to fight crossfire, or which Necron battleship's shield had reached the critical value and could be destroyed by a round of attacks.

"A swarm of drones is besieging a Necromancer warship. You are the closest to it, Immortal. Pay attention to supporting fire coverage. Its shield has reached critical value. Try to destroy it in one round."

The Primarch's thinking speed and ability are comparable to that of a computer. Wang Ming made good use of this. He quickly found a Necron battleship whose shield had reached the critical value on the battlefield, and began to operate a swarm of drones to attack it.

This Necron warship was originally sandwiched between the "Imperial Truth" and the "Immortality", but with the support of other Necron warships, it successfully escaped the siege of the two Imperial warships. It is now trying to hide behind other Necron warships and continue to attack the Imperial fleet, but it was discovered by the drone operated by Wang Ming as soon as it entered the battlefield.

"I have also spotted Captain Wang Ming and he is cooperating with the attack. After calculation, our attack can completely destroy it. The macro cannons and the drone swarms that have been launched should avoid it."

The artificial intelligence of the "Immortal" also discovered the Necron battleship. He even discovered it earlier than Wang Ming. After receiving Wang Ming's communication, he immediately incorporated the drone swarm operated by Wang Ming into his own combat system and began to cooperate with the drone swarm.

"What a quick response, artificial intelligence technology..."

Wang Ming listened to the words of the "Immortal" artificial intelligence and sighed slightly. Even with the original body's reaction speed and information processing capabilities, it was completely incomparable to artificial intelligence.

Under Wang Ming's operation, the drone swarm avoided the light spears and macro cannons. The landing points of these light spears and macro cannons had been marked by artificial intelligence. Wang Ming only needed to avoid those marked points.

"All hits, the enemy ship's shield has been lifted, and the drone swarm has begun to close in and attack."

Wang Ming looked at the on-site images conveyed by the drone swarm and began to operate the drone swarm to attack. These drones have two main means of attack, one is high-energy laser beams and the other is missiles.

Thanks to the advanced operating system of the drone swarm, Wang Ming only needs to give a command and the drone swarm will automatically start attacking without any unnecessary operations. There is no need to operate the drones to avoid enemy ship attacks. The drone's automatic system can completely solve most problems.

Silent explosions flashed in the void, and the hull of the Undead battleship was torn open by the technology of the Human Federation. After loading its ammunition, the "Immortal" joined the attack again.

Light spears tore through the armor of the Necromancer warships, macrocannon shells exploded in the Necromancer warships, and a large amount of warship wreckage floated in the void. A young civilization of ten thousand years old was showing its strength to an ancient civilization. Perhaps the technology of the Human Federation could not compare with that of the Necromancers, but humans would never bow to any alien. No matter how powerful the enemy was, humans would fire their own shots at it.

The Necron warships were also fighting back, using Gaussian rays and electric arcs to destroy large swarms of drones. However, the drone swarms also successfully protected the "Immortal" cruiser. The Necron warships' firepower had always been on the drone swarms, and the "Immortal" also took advantage of the Necron warships' firepower being concentrated on the drone swarms to launch an attack on the Necron warships.

Light spears continuously shot at the bridge of the Necron warship. A large amount of armor was torn off the Necron warship. Macrocannon shells also continuously hit the Necron bridge, and the light of a nuclear explosion kept flashing.

Just as the "Immortal" cruiser continued to pour out firepower, the Undead battleship suddenly seized a gap in the drone swarm and shot a Gaussian ray at the "Immortal" cruiser.

"Our ship was hit by an enemy ship. The energy of the void shield has been reduced by 90% and is about to overload."

The attack from the Necromancer battleship directly pushed the void shield of the "Immortal" to the brink of overload. Although the "Immortal" had more than one layer of void shield, it still immediately moved.

Wang Ming immediately operated the drone swarm to block the gap. Under the continuous firepower of the "Immortal", the bridge of the Necromancer battleship was finally pierced and destroyed in an instant.

Human warships have no advantage when facing Necron warships. The defense of Necron warships is much stronger than that of human warships. Even the human federation ships are the same. They can only be destroyed through continuous firepower.

246. Chapter 243 Inertia-free Engine

246.

After such a long battle, the Empire's ships all had more or less wounds caused by the Necromancer's weapons, and their armor was atomized by the Necromancer's Gauss rays. The void shields could not protect the ships' safety. The Federation's ships' void shields could still block the attacks of Gauss weapons, but those strike cruisers could not do it. Their void shields were not as powerful as the Federation's void shields.

The Necromancer's attacks completely ignored the void shields of the strike cruisers, and the particle whip would most of the time ignore the void shields and instantly destroy them. Of course, this would also happen to Federation ships in some cases, but Federation ships were equipped with more than just void shields. There were also three layers of energy shields inside the void shields. This was a lesson learned from the war with a certain alien race.

This kind of energy shield cannot block the attacks of the Undead for a long time, and the attack of the antimatter particle beam will cause it to collapse in an instant. However, thanks to the powerful reactor of the Federation ship, the energy shield can be quickly rebuilt after being destroyed.

"Turning, rendezvousing with the Imperial Truth."

"Roger that, Immortal, pay attention to that area of ​​wreckage, don't crash into it."

"I am the Starry Sky, a Necromancer warship is chasing me, requesting support."

"The drone swarm is coming, please wait."

The fleet was fighting the Undead fleet in an orderly manner. The "Sun Fortress" performed brilliantly in this battle. Its large number of light spear matrices and macro cannon arrays allowed it to even sink five Undead warships. However, due to its size, it received the most attacks, but its multiple layers of armor allowed it to withstand those attacks.

In fact, the Federation ships have some similarities with the Necromancer ships, such as the repair function. The Necromancer ships have a terrifying repair function. Just as a breach was made, it was restored in the blink of an eye. The Federation ships also have this repair function. Although it is slower than the Necromancer ships, it is still very useful.

The captured Necron warship was also involved in this battle and was pulled into the Imperial fleet by a cruiser. It has now been completely occupied by the time travelers. The First Engineer Company has now collectively boarded the Necron warship and is frantically collecting all the information about the Necron's inertia-free engine.

"How many Necromancer warships are there?"
