Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

When Ironfather learned that Roche wanted to replace ceramite with adamantium, the elder Space Marine showed a look of understanding.

Of course, some people have imagined that power armor made of adamantium is almost impossible to destroy by cutting, so the survivability of the Astartes inside will be ridiculously strong.

It is even possible that one person with just one piece of armor could wipe out an entire enemy team.

Conventional weapons cannot even penetrate the defense. Power swords, chainswords, plasma and even melta cannot destroy adamantium. Such a Space Marine with an indestructible golden body will be the nightmare of all enemies.

Luo Xi naturally saw Tiefu's distrust. He curled his lips and said in a relaxed tone: "It is not difficult for me to process refined gold. My material reconstruction equipment can make the raw materials produced by the ore refining center plastic, and then reshape them at the atomic level under the control of artificial intelligence."

"In appearance, the adamantium armor can be produced just like hard-light printing. It only takes a few hours for a set of armor to be ready."

There seemed to be a sound of swallowing saliva in the room. Luo Xi turned around with some confusion, but couldn't tell who was secretly swallowing his saliva.

What's the fuss about?

"Then how are you going to solve the power supply problem? A set of platinum power armor weighs at least two to three times more than ceramic steel, and our power backpacks cannot supply such a large amount of energy." Wieland was so excited that his iron hands almost touched Roche's body.

"Iron Father, stay calm." Nikona stopped him.

"Power? Is that a problem?"

The power source of the Astartes' power armor comes from the power backpack behind him. This miniature cold nuclear fusion backpack can supply electrical energy to the power armor for a long time and drive the internal electronic muscle bundles to respond.

"Cold nuclear fusion is a good energy source, but it's not enough. I integrated the antimatter furnace into various locations of the power armor and dispersed them, eliminating bulky components like the power backpack."

Part of the surplus space in the adamantine armor is reserved for the antimatter furnace. This energy empire is not without applications, but it only exists in some extremely rare or even irreproducible relic weapons.

Although the empire's equipment may look extremely simple and barbaric, the technology contained in it is not weak at all.

"And I will replace the electronic muscle bundles with extremely fine adamantium polymers. Its tensile strength will be able to bear the energy output of the antimatter furnace. The Astartes with the new power will crush the current warriors in terms of strength."

The new type of power armor conceived by Luo Xi surpasses the original style in almost every aspect.

The nearly indestructible defense of adamantium, and power three to four times greater than older warframes, will create a new type of warrior that transcends traditional Astartes.

Weiland and others looked at each other in surprise. They found that this new type of armor, which was still only on the blueprint, was actually not as far away as they had imagined.

Although they don't know whether mass production is possible, a certain number of experimental models should be able to be produced.

"In addition to these standard features, the new power armor will also be equipped with complete buffer components, heat insulation components, and more powerful scanning equipment and communication equipment. Of course, I have also added the deflection position equipped by the Iron Knight Terminator. The energy shield will also protect the user from damage by energy weapons."

Adamantite armor is difficult to destroy, but it does not mean that it will not be damaged by vibration and high temperature. The power armor is fine, but the body of the warrior inside may be destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

Nikona and others were simply numb. Luo Xi had taken into account almost all common battlefield situations. Even a new recruit wearing adamantium armor could almost survive in an apocalypse-level battlefield.

Not to mention those veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and possess extraordinary martial arts skills. When equipped with adamantium armor, they will be the most deadly group of fighters.

"I suppose we must have priority in getting such equipment, my Lord?"

Hill shook his head, then tapped Nikona's power armor with his finger: "Yes, your power armor is indeed rubbish."

"In addition, I have designed a more advanced power armor: the Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor used by Astartes warriors. Only the strongest warriors can use it, and in addition to dealing with infantry, it will also contend with all ground vehicles, even Titan God Machines."

Is there more powerful equipment coming? The Iron Hands felt that their nerves had become numb after being shocked so many times. What other armor could surpass the adamantium power armor?

Next to the original adamantium armor, an even larger armor revealed its true appearance.

It was modeled after the Iron Cavalry power armor, but its height reached four meters. It did not have sharp outlines, but instead had a soft, smooth and simple texture, which was completely different from the style of the human empire's equipment.

"Unlike the adamantium armor, the technology level of this power armor is several levels higher. I used strong interaction force materials. Every atom will be firmly nailed in the corresponding position. Except for the joints and other parts that use deformable materials, most of the armor will use this truly indestructible material."

"This strong interaction force power armor is not very heavy, so I equipped it with an anti-gravity engine and a jet pack for use in the atmosphere. Astartes warriors can use it to completely leave the surface of the earth, an effect that a jump jet pack cannot achieve."

"The weapons it carries will also have more terrifying destructive power, and the specific situation can be determined by the specific situation."

After Luo Xi's proud introduction, everyone looked at each other and suddenly felt that the power armor they were wearing was no longer useful.

They also understood a little bit why Luo Xi always looked at them as if they were garbage. Compared with such technological creations, their power armor was indeed no different from children's toys.

Roche led these space warriors to the laboratory of the tank factory. Next, these creations that currently only exist in blueprints will truly come into this world.

A batch of shaped refined gold materials were delivered to the ore refining center. They were cast into gold bricks for easy storage and transportation. These precious materials, which are far stronger than gold, are about to be sent to the material reconstruction equipment for further processing.

Under the irradiation of the instrument beam, pieces of fine gold turned into liquid and flowed into the casting equipment through the pipes.

The intelligent computer controls the parameter information of the hard light printer and moves the refined gold to the predetermined position according to the input data.

Before everyone's eyes, a layer of glittering gold began to take shape, starting from the magnetic boots of the power armor. The printing speed was not fast, and after about an hour, the power armor was barely formed at the knees.

Although the prototype has not even been completed, the results achieved so far are still exciting.

This is a piece of adamantium armor, which is invincible on the battlefield.

Equipped with it, loyalists will easily drown traitors in their own blood.

Chapter 45: Ideas for Improving the Auxiliary Army

It takes about 18 hours to produce a set of adamantium armor. Taking into account the internal buffer, thermal insulation module and the loading of the thinker system, only one set of power armor can be produced in a day.

Even if Roche expands its production capacity and continues to add matter reconstruction machines, this number will hardly exceed 100.

He did not want the base's influence to spread beyond Mustafar, both for reasons of secrecy and to maintain the balance of his alliance with Guilliman.

"Tell Guilliman that I need adamantium, lots and lots of it. No matter where he embezzles it from, even if he robs it, he must provide me with the adamantium I need!" Roche almost roared at Hill.

There are no adamantium mines on Mustafar. This precious mineral is an important commodity in interstellar trade, and many wandering merchants sell this high-value metal.

But the quantity is too small. In the past, adamantium was usually only used for the skeleton parts of power armor and the casting of some melee weapons.

The quantity required for them is completely different from that required for a complete set of adamantium power armor.

In a hurry, it is almost impossible to find a lot of refined gold.

But after realizing the great value of the adamantium armor, Hill was even crazier than Roche. He sent thirteen high-priority messages to his genetic father and repeatedly urged the Primarch to deliver enough adamantium.

"My son, where can I find the adamantium you need in such a short time? I'm afraid only the Mechanicus has this amount of adamantium."

"The Mechanicus is working hard to build new space battleships. I'm afraid that even if I talk my head off, those oil guys won't agree to my request."

The Primarch covered his head with his hands and felt a headache. This was a happy trouble. He certainly knew the great value of the adamantium armor. It would enhance the combat effectiveness of the Extreme Warriors in an incredible way.

"How about this? I will first mobilize some of the wrecked ships destroyed in the Battle of Calth for you. The keels of those ships were originally going to be recast to serve as the keels of new warships. Now I will allocate them to you first."

Guilliman thought for a few seconds and came up with a compromise.

"Father, I'm afraid this won't satisfy Lord Luo Xi's appetite. He's such a crazy man with too many crazy ideas in his head." Hill said with a wry smile.

"You don't know, he also plans to replace the equipment of all Ultramar auxiliary troops."

Guilliman's data-slate nearly slipped from his hands, and the shocked Primarch nearly dropped what he was holding.

What is Roshi doing? He wants to re-equip the Ultramar Auxiliary Army? Is he crazy?

The Ultramar Auxiliary Forces are defense forces formed by various planets in the Five Hundred Worlds. They will also assist the Ultramarines in combat during wartime.

Even compared to the small number of Astartes, these huge mortal armies are the first line of defense of the Five Hundred Worlds against invaders.

Because the Five Hundred Worlds are prosperous and civilized, the individual quality and equipment of these soldiers are superior to most of the mortal auxiliary forces of the empire.

Many of these mortals, who have undergone rigorous training and been taught discipline and dedication, even failed to be selected from the Ultramarines and joined the mortal army.

A huge army numbering hundreds of billions is spread across the vast territory of the Far East Star Region. They do not have the extraordinary combat power of the Astartes, but they still use their mortal bodies to guard the territories of the Five Hundred Worlds and protect the people here.

Although these mortal armies all belong to the auxiliary army of Ultramar, there is still a big gap in their equipment. The auxiliary armies of several core worlds can even be equipped with force feedback power armor and wield powerful incendiary weapons.

In terms of comprehensive combat power, they can even tie with the famous Sun Auxiliary Army.

Of course, the armies of some remote and backward planets are not so luxurious. Some simple armor and an auxiliary army standard laser rifle are all their equipment.

No matter how small a problem is, it will become a huge problem when multiplied by a huge base. The Ultramar Auxiliary Army has already exceeded the Imperial standard by a lot, but if it wants to be improved further, even the wealth of Macragge will find it difficult to bear.

"Lord Roshi believes that the garrisons of important worlds such as Macragge, Konor, and Amatra are completely unable to bear the current pressure. And because the Empire resists the use of artificial intelligence, iron men, and other means, the mortal auxiliary forces in these places must be armed first."

Guilliman, who was already troubled by the war and was so busy every day that he couldn't even find time to sleep, suddenly looked a little ugly.

He also wants to improve the combat effectiveness of mortals, which will greatly make up for the current shortage of troops, but is this possible?

This is a gap in productivity. Those forging worlds simply cannot supply so many weapons and equipment.

"Father, perhaps you can squeeze out some time to inspect Mustafar. It is very different from before." Hill hesitated for a few seconds, and finally felt that it would be more convincing than letting Guilliman come and see it with his own eyes.

Guilliman looked at Hill with some suspicion. When did his son become hesitant? Hill was always outspoken.

"Okay, I will take half a day today to go to Mustafar. I will bring Gage and the commanding officer of the Ultramar Auxiliary Army with me. I hope you can give us a surprise."

After cutting off the communication, Hill felt relieved. If the production of the adamantine armor still required a long time and a large amount of resources, then the equipment supplied to mortals could truly be called mass production.

Abandoning inefficient mechanical slaves and tedious incense burning and prayer, smearing holy oil, and blessing the machine soul, the weapons and equipment needed by ordinary people can be produced on the assembly line like dumplings in Gutai.

Automated production, from raw material smelting to model casting, and then to assembly and commissioning, everything is as natural and fast as flowing water.

By visiting Macragge's mind space and library, Roxi has learned a lot about the other head of this imperial double-headed eagle.

In his opinion, Mars today is no longer the enlightened, enterprising technological world it once was, but is instead filled with ignorance and religious atmosphere.

Although at this point in time they had experienced the strife era of the Old Night and a lot of scientific and technological knowledge had disappeared in the long night, Roche was still disappointed that humans had lost their enterprising spirit.

"The experience in Calth proves that there is some kind of pollution in the warp. Human intelligence and even machine creations are at risk of being contaminated. The actions of the Mechanicus are not completely undesirable. At least those machines that have been blessed, anointed with holy oils and burned with sacred incense are really more reliable."

As a remnant of the past, he must constantly adjust his thinking patterns. Although he cannot emotionally accept today's humans, from a practical point of view, the existence of the Mechanicus is inevitable.

The universe has never been kind to human beings. The treacherous waves of the highest heaven have always affected human beings. This has nothing to do with science and can even be described as metaphysics. Therefore, human beings can only use metaphysics to fight metaphysics.

"But it is not advisable to simply throw the baby out with the bathwater, especially in times of crisis like this. We must put aside those taboos and liberate productivity to the greatest extent." Luo Xi said to the technicians and workers on Mustafa.

Even though weapons produced on the assembly line are more susceptible to corruption than weapons made by the Mechanicus, they are worth it in the face of sheer numbers.

He would never allow his warriors to die on the battlefield due to lack of equipment before their weapons could corrode.

He would rather let everyone take the best weapons and teach those damn subspace demons what absolute firepower is.

Chapter 46 The Dissatisfaction of the Palace Master

Macragge.

The Lord of Five Hundred Worlds, the most powerful man in the Far East of the Empire, was currently in a private office in the Hera Fortress.

Hundreds of victorious soldiers wearing fine power armor and exuding a fierce aura were standing guard outside the room meticulously. They guarded every blind spot and patrolled back and forth for inspection.

If necessary, they can use power swords and bolters to kill hostile targets in less than a second.
