Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

Luo Xi did not point out his location. Fallows' information had to be kept secret until now, so he used vague words to get around it.

"I understand. You don't have to be embarrassed." White Scar seemed particularly insightful. After realizing that Luo Xi's current situation was some kind of secret, he immediately said that the guest should follow the host's wishes.

Gantula's flexible attitude made him very comfortable to deal with. At least he didn't have to worry about one answer like the Imperial Fists did.

The character of the Dornish heirs... everyone who has dealt with them knows it.

To say that they are stones in a toilet is to flatter them.

Roche brought this group of White Scars warriors to the designated location, a space large enough to accommodate a giant hive city with a diameter of more than 300 kilometers.

Walking on the metal ground with artificial gravity, looking up and forward, the core keel of a huge battleship with no visible beginning or end is being built.

"It is much larger than the Bladestorm. As for how much larger it is, it is a number that cannot be measured with the naked eye."

Such a thought flashed through the mind of White Scar Captain Gantula.

"This is the battleship being built in Dock No. 3. Its design concept is exactly what we discussed just now. In other words, its greatest feature is speed."

Gantula did not answer. He just leaned over the guardrail at the edge and stared blankly at the huge warship under construction.

The construction of a battleship begins with the keel. When the keel is completed, the hull will gradually take shape along the skeleton. Everything is like a living organism, from the inside to the outside, from bones to skin.

Although the battleship is only about one-third completed, everyone can see what it will look like in the future.

The overall silver-white hull perfectly conforms to the streamlined aesthetic, and is completely different from the Empire's big, black and rough warships that look sturdy and durable. The completed part of this battleship is extremely simple, without any unnecessary pendants.

The space elevator arrived at the exact tail end of the battleship. Those giant nozzles that looked like skyscrapers were neatly arranged and assembled according to a certain design. The Son of Chagatai could almost imagine how terrifying the propulsion speed would be when the engine was started at full power.

The speed of a warship sailing in the void is almost related to the output power of the engine. Space without resistance is the perfect place for galloping.

"Its material is..." Gantula stared at it for a while and squeezed out a sentence.

Khan's Eagle, White Scar had only one thought in his mind when he saw this unfinished warship: no matter what, it belongs to the Sons of Chagatai, and only they, a group of star hunters, can control this extremely swift warship and gallop across the Milky Way.

"It's not fine gold. Our fine gold is completely incapable of supporting this level of warship engineering. It is an alloy from the old days that was once widely used in the manufacture of warships."

Luo Xi said that the designed length of this battleship is more than one hundred kilometers, and God knows how much refined gold will be consumed to build its keel.

With the widespread popularity of adamantium armor, almost all the adamantium in the entire Five Hundred Worlds was invested in the massive project of casting power armor.

"Although this alloy is slightly inferior to fine gold, fortunately it can be obtained in large quantities and is suitable for use in warships."

"And it has slight self-repair properties. If it's just some minor damage, this alloy can self-repair to a certain extent."

And Gangtula was shocked by the terrifying number of one hundred kilometers.

Even the flagship of the Ultramarines, Macragge's Glory, was only twenty-six kilometers long. The flagship of the First Legion was slightly larger, but no more than thirty kilometers long.

This battleship, which is still under construction, is long enough to easily fit three Macragge's Glory.

"For such a huge warship, how fast do you want it to go?" said White Scar.

"According to our calculations, your Bladestorm will be nothing but dust in front of it. No battleship of the Empire can surpass it in speed."

The example Roche gave might not have been very polite to the White Scars, but it was true.

The giant antimatter engine it carries has an output power far exceeding that of the Blade Storm, and the two are not evenly matched in terms of magnitude.

If we want to go faster than this, we need to completely replace the current material engine, which is impossible for humans. If humans want to travel faster than the speed of light, they still need to rely on subspace to jump.

Roche didn't know whether these warships would be able to be replaced with new engines that could travel at superluminal speeds in the real universe one day, but at least before that day came, the warships from the Golden Age being built in Dock No. 3 were the fastest.

The White Scars warriors couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Since arriving in Macragge, neither the powerful Star-type power armor of the Ultramarines nor the famous battle planet Amaterra could move them so much.

But now, facing this warship that is almost flying, the blood of every son of Chagatai is boiling.

"It has not been officially named yet, but in terms of level, we all call it a planetary battleship, or what I personally call it: Thundercloud."

"This is not only because of its size, but also because the main gun it carries has the destructive power of the Extinction Order level."

"Just one shot can bring devastating damage to the enemies on the planet."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they couldn't tell whether it was an arrhythmia or an illusion in the brain.

This type of battleship is completely overwhelming for the Empire, and even the Queen of Glory-class battleship cannot pose a threat to it.

I'm afraid only the Shanzhen can guarantee that it can defeat this kind of planetary battleship.

Luo Xi continued to explain: "Of course, our positioning of this planetary battleship is not a main battleship. It is better at cutting the enemy with its speed advantage and using its maneuverability to backstab the enemy from an unexpected direction."

"Its main gun is only fatal to living creatures on the planet, but it cannot blow up a planet with one shot. That is the job of the void fortress and firepower ship being built in the dock next door."

"It will rely entirely on energy weapons for output. Macro cannons and other real-round weapons are not suitable for use at ultra-high speeds, but energy weapons do not have this concern. The warship can attack while maintaining full speed."

Chapter 161 White Scar: Too Much

A real star-destroying battleship is being built in the dock next door...

Forget it, it's not important.

This information could no longer attract Gantula's attention. The White Scar was not interested in this pure act of destruction, but the fact that planetary battleships did not need to slow down during combat attracted his attention.

There is no need to slow down, doesn't that mean you can just keep driving at top speed?

For the White Scars, who are used to removing the brakes and pressing the accelerator, such a battleship is really in line with their aesthetic taste.

Faster is better, faster is stronger, speed is everything.

The White Scar Captain who had escaped from the warp storm boasted that he would not be shocked by anything anymore, but today, he had to admit that he was deeply moved.

He is not a fool. Luo Xi talked to them for a long time and took them to the site for a tour for a long time. Of course, it is impossible for him to just display this big treasure in front of them to show off.

This was an attempt to win over the White Scars, an almost explicit act of goodwill.

Gantula wanted to say no proudly, but his heart could not support him to say such a thing against his will.

Yes, he couldn't lie, he simply couldn't resist the temptation to pilot this battleship.

"My friend, why did you choose us? We just escaped from the warp storm and haven't even known each other for more than a week. Why don't you let the Ultramarines man this battleship?"

Gantula's tone was sincere and calm, and the slight arrogance hidden in him had completely disappeared.

What right do they have to be proud? It is Luo Xi who has the advantage now, not them.

They were just a group of defeated soldiers who had escaped by chance and gathered in Macragge. The enemy army was besieging Terra, and the Solar System was under the most severe attack.

Luo Xi shook his head calmly. He found that these white scars seemed to have made a mistake.

"Captain Gantula, it seems you are mistaken."

For a moment, the son of Chagatai seemed to enter a highly tense bullet time, and he was a little afraid that Luo Xi would say no.

If he doesn't want to, then they have no qualifications and no right to say anything.

Are they going to rob their loyal brother army?

"You are wrong. It's not that the Ultramarines can't operate this battleship, but this battleship is just a beginning. It will never be a single product. If resources can keep up, this kind of planetary battleship can be manufactured one by one in the dock."

"I chose you because the White Scars are the best warship operators. Your talents and experience are unmatched by mortals and Ultramarines."

"So, you will be the first batch of drivers, and then continue to provide detailed data and references for subsequent design and production. After all, your number is still too small."

What Luo Xi said was deeply imprinted in Guntura's heart. Yes, the Sons of Chagatai, now the White Scars, formerly the Star Hunters, are the most suitable legion to control warships.

"I think it's a huge waste to let you go boarding and fighting. It's better to use your talents to drive warships. That way you can get the most benefits."

There are so many legions gathered in Macragge, and the reason why Roxi is particularly concerned about the White Scars is that the soldiers of this legion are all natural drivers.

Whether it's their beloved jetbikes or those high-speed gunships, the White Scars are excellent pilots.

This is determined by their genes and the legion culture that has been shaped over a long period of time.

"If I can't repay you, I am willing to die." Gantula still spoke in a literary manner. If Luo Xi could see his loyalty, he would estimate that it would definitely increase a lot.

As long as these warriors are not explicitly told to oppose the Empire, or even their Primarch, they will obey most of Roche's orders.

If Roshi, Nikonna Sharokin, and the Salamander Tassa still had the friendship of escaping from Isstvan together, he did not have much personal relationship with these Space Marines who escaped from the Ruinstorm.

To consolidate the relationship between the two parties, all that is needed is sufficient resources and interests.

As it happens, what Roche lacks the least is material resources, and even Guilliman cannot surpass him in this regard.

"But to make this battleship operate, we certainly cannot rely solely on manpower. That would be an astronomical figure, so can I think that--" Gantula continued to test.

"Will this ship, and the warships that will be put into service later, use abominable intelligence?"

The topics discussed in Guntura are very sharp, and hatred of intelligence and aliens have always been the most sensitive topics.

"Maybe we can change the name to machine soul, but our machine soul is more powerful." Luo Xi said.

"The carrier-based souls we have installed have been blessed by the Adeptus Mechanicus and have unshakable loyalty to humanity. Moreover, we already have a way to deal with Chaos pollution."

The countermeasure that Roche pointed out is that even if Blackstone has the ability to suppress the subspace, the logic centers of these warships equipped with low-level intelligence will be placed in the Blackstone array that maintains the subspace repulsion.

With the dual protection of Black Stone and Geller's Stand, most of the Chaos pollution will be completely isolated.

"You and I both know that even the cabins of the Glorious Queen-class battleships have hundreds of thousands of mortals living in them to keep the ships running, and other mechanical servants and slaves are constantly contributing."

"In a space as huge as a planetary battleship, it is impossible to continue to rely solely on manpower to maintain its operation. If we still insist on this, I am afraid that it will take millions of people to maintain its operation, and the efficiency of this battleship will be unacceptably low."

Gantula and the others were also struggling in their hearts. Hatred of abominable intelligence was engraved deep in their genes, but at this moment reason told them that what Luo Xi said was right.

"I agree, Gantura, the Machine Soul is safe and reliable, there is no need to doubt it." Iron Hand, who had remained silent, expressed his support. Luo Xi noticed that the warrior in mourning clothes had hardly spoken a word.

The Iron Hands is the legion that has conducted the most in-depth research on artificial intelligence, and what is buried in their legion's black technology warehouse is not even inferior to that of the Dark Angels.

Seeing this, Gantula also skipped this topic.

The ancient wisdom of Chogoris has made it clear that contradictions are unified and opposed to each other. Perhaps they can really prove that some "machine souls" are indeed harmless and can be used.

"Wait, my friend, don't you have space on your ship to launch boarding torpedoes? If we encounter a tough enemy, we still have the option of boarding."

Luo Xi took a deep breath. Boarding is a feature of this universe and it is a must-try.

He had already made a plan.

"The warship's teleporter can perform beaconless teleportation once it enters the control range. Throw away your stupid boarding torpedoes."

Luo Xi does not reject the idea of ​​boarding a ship, because of the existence of the void shield. If one wants to defeat the enemy by overloading the void shield, it will take a very long time.

Boarding is undoubtedly the best way to disrupt enemy warships and win quickly.
