Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

The smooth and elegant lines, completely different design concepts and hull structures with unique beauty on those warships all reveal the identity of their operators.

"Elves, that is an Eldar warship." Luo Xi confirmed.

He recalled the collections he had seen in the Solemnas Museum in Trazyn, among which was a small warship of the Eldar origin that was very similar to it.

"Those cunning Aida aliens?" It was the White Scars' Captain Gantula who spoke. Upon hearing the name of the Eldar, he immediately became excited as if by reflex.

"When the Khan led us to travel across the galaxy, we encountered the Eldar more than once. They called themselves the Aeldari. These arrogant guys humiliated the Fifth Legion and claimed that they were the original overlords of the galaxy."

Gantula said this with a cruel smile, and it was obvious that the memory was very unforgettable for him.

"But they paid a price for their arrogance. Jagatai Khan personally cut off the heads of all the Aida on that Eldar warship as punishment, and the heads of these ancient aliens were also sent back to the Quanzhou Monastery."

"That was an Eldar ship. It suddenly appeared in the exploration ship's auspicious instrument and destroyed it directly with some kind of psychic weapon."

"One strike and one breakaway, never lingering in battle, this is a very standard way of fighting for the Eldar. They have a way of moving that is different from ours, and can suddenly turn around and jump in an incredible way within the galaxy."

The appearance of the Eldar made Luo Xi feel slightly alert. The fact that the Eldar could appear in the galaxy where Pandora was located meant that there was some connection between this place and this ancient race.

However, they have already arrived inside the galaxy, and Pandora is right in front of them. It is impossible for Roche to turn around and leave just because of the appearance of a small Eldar warship.

He doesn't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of trouble. If those elves still want to show their presence, Luo Xi doesn't mind competing with them.

"The auspicious instrument did not find any traces of Eldar warships in the star system. It is possible that they used their holographic field to hide their tracks. Our scanning array is in full load standby mode. If they move, their position will be exposed."

Hill's report made Luo Xi feel relieved. The Eldar have always been nomadic. They prefer to cram all the people in the world into the so-called Ark World. This magnificent ship with a length of more than a thousand kilometers is a mobile world.

"They may have left after destroying our exploration ship."

Luo Xi interrupted the discussion. After all, they only had one exploration ship here. The Eldar might think that it was just a lost human starship and destroyed it easily.

The appearance of the Eldar means that the possibility of what they are looking for existing on Pandora has increased. They would never appear here for no reason.

"How about this, activate the void shield first and approach Pandora in alert mode to guard against possible Eldar attacks."

Luo Xi made the decision directly, and the discussion among the crowd subsided. They all returned to their respective positions to prepare for the next action.

With the Red Alert in the lead and several light cruisers sailing behind, the fleet formed a very conservative defensive formation and slowly approached the satellite in orbit of the huge gas planet.

……

After some vigilance and testing, Roche confirmed that the elusive Eldar were indeed no longer within this galaxy.

He even pretended to remove the void shield while approaching, revealing the true form of his fleet.

If the enemy really exists, they will never let go of this opportunity.

"Attention all units, except for the guards remaining on their respective warships, other Space Marines will land on the surface of Pandora in the next operation."

Repeated alarms echoed in the cabin. The mortal crew was nervously preparing to dock the warship into orbit, while the Astartes were fully armed and boarded the Thunderhawk gunships. They would land by airborne from the gunships.

Chapter 238 Miracle World

"I have to admit that if we really compare the beauty of the scenery, Earth is indeed not as good as Pandora, a planet countless light years away. I can't believe that there is such a thing at the edge of the galaxy so remote."

Under the protection of Nikonna Sharokin and the veterans of the Broken Legion, Roshi also boarded the gunboat to Pandora.

The veterans of the Iron Hands piloted the Thunderhawk skillfully. The modified ports on their bodies were connected to this metal creation, and the torrent of data shuttled directly through each other's nerves, allowing them to control the Thunderhawk gunboat as easily as they controlled their bodies to perform their own thrilling maneuvers.

After passing through Pandora's thick atmosphere, the exploration team entered the interior of the planet.

Through the porthole of the gunboat, they could see the blue cyclone of the extremely huge gas planet in the sky. At such a close distance, most of Pandora's sky was covered by the planet, and they could see the spectacular sight of the giant cyclone rotating.

For tiny creatures like humans, it is hard not to have the illusion that they are falling into a huge gaseous planet under such astronomical wonders.

"Look at those multiple moons. The giant gas planet has thirteen satellites. We can see more than ten moons regularly distributed in the beautiful and stunning blue-purple sky."

Under the reflection of the giant gas planet, everything in front of Roche seemed to be shrouded in a hazy blue light.

It is a beautiful sight that most humans will never be able to see in their lifetime. In this uninhabited place that almost reaches the edge of the Milky Way, there is such a shocking scene.

Beside him, Sharokin was gazing at the blue planet with the same longing. He had once longed to gaze at the Earth, the sacred Terra, in the same way.

"There is no doubt that this is a life planet suitable for human survival. The gravity here is slightly smaller than the standard gravity of Terra, only about 80% of the standard gravity." Hill sent the detected information to the helmets of each fighting brother and warned.

"Although Pandora's gravity is slightly smaller, its atmospheric density is very high, and the composition of the atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, oxygen and ammonia. Some xenon and methane are also common. The carbon dioxide content exceeds 18%, and the air also contains trace amounts of highly toxic gaseous hydrogen cyanide."

This environment is not absolutely safe for the Astartes. If they inhale too much gaseous hydrogen cyanide, they may damage their superhuman organs.

"Be careful of the turbulence of the spacecraft."

The Iron Hand pilot warned in a loud voice, and then the Thunderhawk gunship began to maneuver, avoiding a giant mountain that suddenly appeared in the clouds ahead in a thrilling manner.

When the clouds dissipated, floating mountains appeared before everyone's eyes. They occupied different altitudes and were thousands of meters apart from each other. Huge rocks of different shapes were floating strangely in the sky at an altitude of tens of kilometers.

"There is some kind of anti-gravity material here that supports these floating mountains off the ground. It's incredible."

The tentacles of some lush green vine-like plants hung down from the rocks like ropes reaching straight to the sky. Some mountains were also gushing out torrents of water waterfalls, which turned into splashes of water floating in the sky under the blowing of strong winds.

The Thunder Eagle gunships they were riding on were as small as ants in front of these floating mountains. Even the Emperor-class Titans always seemed insignificant in front of the wonders of nature.

"Okay, that's enough of the shock. It won't be too late to appreciate the scenery here after we finish exploring Pandora."

Although Luo Xi was shocked by the natural scenery here, he certainly would not forget what he came here for.

A formation of Thunderhawk gunships slowly landed on the surface, and the first thing to deploy on the ground was a small mobile base vehicle. It was much smaller than the large base vehicle on Mustafar, only about the size of an Emperor's Poison Blade tank.

As the base vehicle landed, the moment it touched the ground of Pandora, the metal support unfolded and penetrated deep into the rock layer.

At the same time, the nanorobots stored in the base vehicle began to transform and extend, and a layer of metal armor plate covered the surface of Pandora, blocking the invasion of those unknown native plants.

Luo Xi saw those colorful unknown plants. They were much larger than the ancient plants on Terra. According to simple survival experience, the more gorgeous the plant is, the more dangerous it is.

This temporary base released countless metal drills, which drilled deep into the ground, frantically collecting the native minerals here. After analysis, more than ten mining vehicles were produced. They will collect various necessary minerals according to demand to build a more complete base.

The three-meter-high metal fence was built in tens of minutes, with dense sentry guns and Tesla arc generators interspersed to block every potential loophole.

The towering auspicious scanning array is centered on the base and continuously releases reconnaissance signals within a radius of thirty kilometers. All signals are summarized by the intelligent brain to form a detailed holographic projection map.

On the holographic map, every mountain, every river, and even every giant plant native to Pandora has its own corresponding coordinates.

They shouldn't have been so cautious, but the fleeting glimpse of the Eldar in space forced the people of Luoxi to be on high alert.

The Eldar are not a weak and primitive race like the Tau. They ruled the galaxy for more than 60 million years after the Necrons fell into sleep. Although the Eldar Empire was destroyed due to the awakening of the Warp God, Roxi still did not dare to underestimate these dangerous aliens who could survive the destruction.

"How is it? Have you detected the radiation fluctuations of Black Stone?" Roche asked the Mechanicus sages who landed with them.

He was quite excited, waiting for the answer.

The sages of the Mechanicus operate the instruments produced by Roche. When he and Guilliman launched the entire Five Hundred Worlds to search for the Black Stone, they built a batch of machines that could detect the Black Stone signals.

And obviously, these oil men have made appropriate modifications to those machines to make them more in line with their habits and beliefs.

Roche watched as the oil men lit sacred incense and smeared prayer-soaked holy oil on the machines to appease the so-called machine spirits.

They sang hymns praising the Great Machine and chanted the name of the God of Machines and the Omnissiah in worship.

The reaction unique to Black Stone began to become noticeably agitated, and the readings were still soaring. Luo Xi saw that the faces of the oil men began to become extremely fanatical, and their bodies that had been modified by machines even began to splash some kind of sticky liquid.

"We found it. We found it. The huge black stone reaction. I am sure there must be black stone ore reserves here that are beyond our imagination."

A sage of the Mechanicus shouted that after going through untold hardships, they finally found the ultimate goal of this journey.

Black Stone is a substance that has a unique control effect on ether energy. Its polarity changes have attracted countless mechanical priests to become fascinated by it and want to explore its secrets.

On the forging world of Mustafar, countless Om Messiah believers have conducted their own research around the Black Stone. This will be their unique technology independent of Mars, just like Riza's plasma technology and Huangquan No. 8's heretical technology, which are all unique in the galaxy.

However, the scarcity of Blackstone has caused many research projects to stagnate. These mechanical priests who are driven crazy by the desire for scientific research are in urgent need of Blackstone.

In their eyes, from this moment on, this planet has already become the property of the Mechanicus. They will thoroughly develop this life planet, and the most important thing is to dig out all the black stones in it.

"Sage Luo Xi, we have finally been favored. We have found what we need before the end of the last leg of this journey."

“Praise be to Om Messiah, praise be to the All-Merchant, whose treasures and gifts we have found.”

Luo Xi saw the performance of the oil guys and just smiled. As long as they found the black stone, they would have room to carry out their next big plan.

When Blackstone technology is truly implemented, they may be able to overcome the influence of the warp storm and leave the Five Hundred Worlds.

Huge mining equipment will be built on this planet, and ore refining centers will also produce a steady stream of black stone into suitable shapes and sizes, so that it can be more conveniently transported back to Macragge.

Chapter 239 Pandora's Monster

The first forward base began to take root on the surface of Pandora. More than 800 Ultramarines and more than 200 White Scars warriors have arrived on the surface.

Captain Gantula and his soldiers drove the Tengu mecha and began to explore the complex surface environment of the planet in detail.

This planet has some unknown powerful magnetic field reaction. This force not only lifts those huge mountains into the sky, but also greatly interferes with the observation of the scanning array.

It is difficult for warships in space to scan the subtle environment of the surface in detail. Therefore, it is very necessary to rely on manpower and machinery for surface exploration.

The White Scars Company was once a group of star hunters; the Fifth Legion is positioned more like a scout for the Great Crusade, with advantages far exceeding other legions in exploring unknown areas behind enemy lines, ascertaining the local terrain distribution, and dividing alien forces.

Three quarters of the White Scar warriors piloted their Tengu vehicles and began to expand and explore the surrounding areas with the forward base as the center.

The terrain of the entire Pandora is completely different from the surface of a planet in the conventional sense. Because of the existence of those huge floating mountains, the terrain of Pandora is actually very three-dimensional.

There are intricate routes between the floating mountains, some of which are so narrow that Tengu must rotate his body to enter.

The sons of Chagatai completely fell in love with this place. While drawing maps, they drove their vehicles to race in the thrilling suspended mountains.

The howling sonic boom clouds could hardly catch up with the Tengu's extreme speed. These huge vehicles cruised at an ultra-low altitude. The air torn by the wings spun violently, blowing the giant vines that hung down into floating endlessly.

"This is truly a treasure land bestowed upon us by the Emperor. The terrain here is absolutely perfect for our racing."

The cries of the White Scar warriors spread through the signal frequency band within their helmets, and the other Sons of Chogoris nodded in agreement with the same sentiments.

"I don't accept it. Why do you guys get to soar in the sky while we can only torture each other with these troublesome plants on the ground?"

On the land covered with dense plants, a group of brand new knight mechas are paving the way. They use their huge adamantium chainsaw blades to chop down giant trees, split huge rocks, and continuously expand the human area.

"Emperor, these damn things have broken the knight's chain saw blade again. These are fucking single-molecule saw teeth, why can they break a few when cutting down trees?"

The complaint of Qin Xin, the new blood of the White Scars, was heard in the communication channel. Three quarters of the White Scars were cruising in the air, so naturally the remaining quarter were clearing the way on the ground.

"The old guy is so petty. He left me and the others on the ground using these ridiculously slow vehicles to clear the way, while they were flying happily in the sky."

The White Scars on the ground did not drive their jet bikes. The environment here was like hell for the ground troops. Not only did the undulating terrain obstacles make advancement extremely difficult, but the giant plants that were hundreds of meters high also forced people to take a detour.

These plants, of unknown species, were incredibly hard, and even a chainsaw sword would have difficulty cutting them in one go. The hard bark and branches could even temporarily withstand the burning of promethium flames and plasma.
