Your war hammer is too fake

The high-ranking members of the cult gathered here looked at the golden scepter with more eager eyes.

"In other words," Oberstein's focus was obviously different from others, "the most valuable asset of the cult is now completely under your control."

"Unless you have a better plan, sir," William said, "your subordinate William is all ears."

"I don't care about your little tricks," Oberstein said, rising from his seat. "The war is about to begin, and I just want the result. Send someone to contact those rats. I hope they are not stupid enough to be hopeless."

A senior member of the sect who was in charge of external liaison bowed and accepted the order.

"The emperor is dead, and the electors will gather in this city to hold a meeting to elect a new emperor. That will be the chance for the Order," the old man walked out, his voice fading away. "Palatis will soon take the stage. Don't let me down."

Except for William, all the high-ranking members of the order stood up and saluted towards Oberstein's back.

"It's almost there," William said, crossing his legs, in a voice that only he could hear, "It's almost there, sister..."

The author says:

Author's words: PS: The information that can be revealed at present:

The Paradis Cult in this book is not a Chaos Cult. William is the only one in the Cult who made a deal with a Chaos God for some reason. The Paradis Cult claims that the Faceless Man is a god, and secretly develops believers among the powerful and noble classes of the human countries in the Old World. Of course, the core members of the Cult definitely do not regard the Faceless Man as a god.

Chapter 140: Followers of Tzeentch

Di Enqing (Note 1) has been very anxious recently.

This anxiety did not come entirely from his master, Tzeentch. As a Tzeentch wizard who was defeated in the confrontation with the Monkey King and had to flee to the Old World, Di Enqing had almost forgotten what it felt like to be in a state of panic. Killing the ambassador sent by the Zhendan Dynasty to the Empire during his escape and then impersonating him was a brilliant move, which allowed Di Enqing to gain a foothold in the Empire smoothly and meet the top leaders of the Empire with legitimate reasons, but at the same time it also meant that some troubles would definitely find him.

The Emperor of the Empire, His Majesty Leopold, the Elector of Reikland, is dead. Although he was not directly involved in the assassination, Di Enqing knew who carried out the mission. It was not a difficult task to investigate Leopold's movements and report to certain entities. The wizard Tzeentch handled everything very cleanly, and even the most paranoid witch hunters would not suspect him; however, the death of the emperor was just the beginning. When the new order from the Lord of Change came down, Di Enqing knew that he was in big trouble.

Even by the standards of the Chaos Gods, Tzeentch is about the worst kind of worship. The Great Eagle asks him to continue cooperating with the Changeling, who has killed and transformed into an Elector Count and will arrive in Altdorf soon. The new order of the gods is to let Altdorf burn in the dimensional flames, and for this, Dianqing needs an army: as Sigmar's worship is deeply rooted, it is impossible to directly summon the army of demons in Altdorf, at least Dianqing will never be able to do it.

This is especially true now that the maelstrom is still intact.

Dean Qing is an excellent wizard, a skilled warrior, and a skilled agitator and conspirator, but he is not a commander. He has no army, and he cannot accomplish Tzeentch's mission by himself.

So he found the Paradis Cult, an underground sect that had recently emerged in the past decade. There were all kinds of messy cults active in the empire, and these people could be seen from the most prosperous cities to the most remote villages. The special thing about the Paradis Cult was that they did not believe in the dark gods, but an ancient race called the Faceless Ones.

Before coming to Altdorf, the Tzeentch wizard had never heard of this race. He once sneered at this sect and their gods, until he saw with his own eyes that a high-ranking cult leader controlled several trolls with just a glance, and then ordered these stupid creatures to fight back and crush a goblin tribe.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Dian Qing chose to befriend Paradis. In exchange for helping to solve some problems, the Tzeentch wizard and Paradis became allies and joined forces to fight against their common enemy. Both sides benefited greatly in the process. Dian Qing actually didn't quite understand Paradis's true purpose, but what did it matter?

The Tzeentch wizards vaguely knew about the recent actions of Paradis. The latter somehow obtained an army that obeyed their orders, which was exactly what Dean Qing needed. After carefully probing, Dean Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that Paradis was preparing to start a war in Altdorf.

After several intense negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement that the Paradis Order would launch a raid at the time and place designated by Din Qing; in exchange, the Tzeentch wizard needed to use his prophecy spell to predict something.

——No matter how Oberstein viewed his son William, the leader of the cult never ignored the intelligence about Pingshan sent back by William. After mobilizing people to collect some information from various channels, Oberstein learned the name, An Jiyue, a mysterious witch from the distant Zhendan Dynasty.

It is reported that this witch from China, who looks too young, once appeared briefly in Beckhaven. At that time, she was passing through Ostermark and preparing to go to the ice kingdom of Kislev. What's worse, the same source also confirmed that An Jiyue had made a suggestion to the Elector through Prince Hertwig's courtiers, indicating that she was able to solve the curse of Mordheim.

The Order did not care what would happen to Mordheim, but the news itself worried the Order. Especially after more and more news about Sanhe Prefecture reached Altdorf through the mouths of merchants, Oberstein realized that the tentacles of the Cathay Dynasty had extended to the Old World and were very interested in interfering in the affairs of the Old World.

If Paradis was only slightly worried, then Di Enqing was horrified. As a Zhendan, he couldn't understand why the Heavenly Court, which had always been indifferent to the outside world, suddenly began to interfere in the Old World and even managed to obtain a piece of territory on the edge of the Old World. The most outrageous thing was that in order to ensure the safety of this territory, the Heavenly Court even created a mountain range out of thin air to separate Sanhe Prefecture from the evil land.

Unlike the high-ranking members of the cult who used the power of the mind and had only a limited understanding of magic, as a spellcaster, Di Enqing knew exactly what it meant to be able to do such a thing. He once thought that a certain dragon son had come in person, or perhaps...

Di Enqing had never heard of the name An Jiyue, but this did not prevent him from feeling a threat. As long as the people from the Heavenly Court came to Aldorf, his identity would be exposed immediately.

The Tzeentch wizard now only hopes that Aldolf will start the fight quickly. As long as he completes the mission of the Lord of Change, he can hurry up and run away. When the Paradis Cult asked him to divine An Jiyue's origins, Di Enqing immediately agreed. Anyway, he was going to do this anyway. Of course, the Tzeentch wizard would definitely not be stupid enough to do it himself. The confrontation of spells is far more dangerous than the duel between swords, and actively challenging a spellcaster of An Jiyue's level is tantamount to suicide.

As it happens, Di Enqing has an apprentice, a young man with great magical talent but a little disordered thinking. When the wizard Tzeentch first arrived in Altdorf, he found this unfortunate guy who had fainted from hunger in an alley. As a Chaos believer, Di Enqing certainly couldn't have "sympathy", but just as he was about to leave, this guy suddenly woke up and murmured in Zhendan, "Save me, Saint Tzeentch."

...Then, Di Enqing got an apprentice. The apprentice was also from Zhendan. Di Enqing didn't know how this guy ended up in the Old World. After all, this delicate-skinned guy didn't look like a merchant or sailor who lived in the open air.

The apprentice was obviously educated, although his handwriting was always missing many strokes and his calligraphy was terrible. This guy avoided talking about his past and kept mumbling about "system problems", "line alignment", "smoothness" and other things that Di Enqing didn't understand.

Despite these shortcomings, the Tzeentch wizard still liked this apprentice very much, because he was stupid enough, but not so stupid that he was useless. More importantly, this apprentice somehow knew a lot of secret information, such as the names, holy numbers and doctrines of the four great Chaos powers, and even occasionally revealed some strange prophecies.

Although Di Enqing really couldn't understand why the green-skinned warrior called "Iron Skin" by the other party could destroy Zhendan? Let's not talk about the dragon sons first, how could the two saints be contended by ordinary people?

In any case, when a scapegoat was needed to perform the prophecy on his behalf, Di Enqing immediately thought of this apprentice. In the basement of the Aurora Embassy, ​​witnessed by the representatives sent by the Paradis Cult, the Tzeentch wizard personally arranged the entire magic ceremony and taught the apprentice how to control the ceremony.

The people of Paradis seemed dissatisfied. In exchange for the cult's early attack, they wanted Dean Qing to perform the prophecy spell himself, rather than letting a poor apprentice who had received less than half a year of magic training do it. In this regard, Dean Qing said that it was not important who performed the ritual, but whether the desired intelligence could be obtained.

The representative of the cult did not accept this explanation, but did not say anything else. The army was in the hands of Paradis, and if Dean Qing dared to fool the cult in this matter, then the cult would naturally not need to fulfill the agreement.

Finally, the ceremony started tensely and ended quickly. The consequence of trying to use magic to spy on An Jiyue was tragic. The apprentice, with his eyes tightly closed, just opened his mouth, and before he could utter a syllable, his body collapsed and disintegrated into a handful of dust in a second. His soul was bound in place, and he let out a shrill scream that no living person could hear.

"I already know the true identity of 'An Jiyue'," Di Enqing said before the representative of the cult raised any questions, "The worst has happened, let your master prepare..."

"who is she?"

"Queen of the Moon, Guiyin."

Chapter 141 Chuan Kui Luo

Tsanquilo was pacing back and forth anxiously, leaning on his Horned Rat Staff.

In the past three years, the life of the Grey Prophet has not been smooth sailing, but a mess. In 2499 of the Imperial Calendar, the Skaven planned an attack on the industrial center of Nuln. However, before the general attack began, the warlord who was originally responsible for commanding the operation died in a secret meeting at the hands of a dwarf butcher and his human pendant. Seeing this, Tsanquilo thought his chance had come, and immediately sent an assassin to kill the new warlord who succeeded him.

Afterwards, Tsanquilo announced that he would take over the operation, trying to control the power. However, this operation was too important, and the four major clans sent representatives to come. Except for the representative of Clan Eshin, the representatives of the other three clans sneered at Tsanquilo's self-talk and were too lazy to pay attention to Tsanquilo's orders.

What happened next fully demonstrated what "Lilith on the Skaven side" meant. In order to deal with the representatives of the three clans who refused to obey, the clever Tsanquilo simply revealed the deployment of the three clans in Nuln to a certain dwarf butcher, successfully damaging the Skaven army before the general attack began... What's more, the Skaven Magic City also heard some rumors and began to send people to investigate the situation in Nuln, forcing Tsanquilo to launch a desperate attack.

Of course, this was of no use. As the plague and biological weapons originally intended for the Nulns were finally used by the Skaven themselves, many of them died of disease, starvation or fled, leaving Tsanquiro with a severely insufficient number of troops. Despite the damage done to Nuln, Gotrek Gornisson and Felix Jaeger fought hard to defeat Tsanquiro's army, and the Grey Seer himself escaped.

Due to the heavy losses and nothing gained, and the fact that his deeds during the Battle of Nuln were exposed, Tsanquilo, who dared not return to the Skaven Capital, was forced to hide in the Empire for several months. At this time, Tsanquilo learned that the local Skaven clans in the north of the World's Edge Mountains suffered losses in the conflict with the Dwarves, so the Grey Seer hurried there, ready to use a victory over his old enemy to prove his ability and value, so as not to be really killed by the assassins of the Thirteenth Council.

In the ruins of Solitude, Tsanquilo once again met the duo and accidentally discovered a thunder airship, the "Grunni Soul", designed and built by Malachai Makaisson, a butcher engineer and Gotrek's friend. As a masterpiece of dwarven engineering, Tsanquilo knew that as long as he could bring this thing back to the Skaven Magic City, the Thirteenth Council would forgive his previous "unintentional mistake".

The Grey Seer, with his remaining men, tracked the Spirit of Granni all the way to Kislev. In a carefully planned ambush, Tsanquiro almost captured the airship, but the duo ruined his plan at the critical moment, forcing the Grey Seer to flee from the battlefield again.

After suffering several tragic defeats against the same opponent, Tsanquilo had nothing left and had offended almost all the major clans except Clan Eshin. Just when the Grey Seer thought he couldn't be any more unlucky, the ratman who had just teleported away from Gotrek was surrounded by a group of Chaos Knights.

These Chaos Knights were the followers of Arek-Demonclaw, the Champion of Tzeentch, who was on a quest to reach the City of the Damned. In order to save his life, Tranquilo lied that he was a negotiator for the Corrupted Clan and was here to surrender to the Champion of the Gods. After the Grey Seer agreed to a very harsh surrender agreement on behalf of the Corrupted Clan, Arek ordered his men to escort Tranquilo back to the Hell Pit without any chance of failure.

The stubborn Chaos Knight carried out the Champion's orders meticulously. Tsanquilo, who could not find any chance to escape, was sent to the hands of the Corrupted Clan. Then, the Grey Prophet was thrown into prison. If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of a large-scale rebellion in the Hell Pit, Tsanquilo's best fate would be to rot in the Corrupted Clan's black prison.

The Grey Seer was released from the Corruption Clan's cell and ordered to help suppress the rebellion. Tranquilo did a great job, and with the support of his magic, the Corruption Clan quickly put down the rebellion. In view of Tranquilo's outstanding contribution, the Corruption Clan forgave him for his "little offense" in the Battle of Nuln, and gave the Grey Seer a bag of top-quality warpstone and an army, asking him to deal with the group of Chaos-believing Yankees that appeared earlier.

Um... yes, that's right. In Praag, Tsanquilo once again encountered that dwarf and his human pendant. The three parties had a big fight in the Cursed City. In the end, the Yankees were defeated. The Kislevites successfully defended their city; the Corrupted Clan, which had just experienced a rebellion and was severely damaged, solved a potential threat. Except for the Yankees, everyone was satisfied.

After returning to the Hell Pit, Tsanquilo was treated like a hero, and the Corrupted Clan gave the Grey Prophet a large amount of Warp Stone as a reward. Although the Grey Prophet failed to get the airship, he at least won a glorious victory. The arrogant Tsanquilo then embarked on his journey back to the Skaven Capital.

Originally, Tsanquilo thought he would get a warm welcome in Mordor, just like he did in the Hell Pit. He was wrong. Instead of cheers and applause, he was greeted with severe accusations: after more than two years of tossing and turning, the Grey Prophet finally had to pay the price for his series of outrageous actions in the Battle of Nuln.

Even with Tsanquilo's ability to pass the buck, he was unable to escape all the charges. In the end, the Grey Seer was sentenced to undergo the "Thousand Devouring Labyrinth", a final trial conducted by the Horned Rat himself on the guilty Grey Seer, who was either innocent or dead.

Whether it was the onlookers or Tsanquilo himself, they all felt that this time he was really going to be doomed. Fortunately, fate finally favored the Grey Prophet once, and the Horned Rat declared Tsanquilo not guilty, and the latter successfully escaped.

...After experiencing the above series of ups and downs, the exhausted Tsanquilo now just wants to rest. Unfortunately, the Grey Prophet is far from being able to relax. As soon as he finished his trial, Tsanquilo was dragged to the Thirteenth Council.

During the meeting, Tsanquilo learned that the Skaven had discovered an extremely dangerous mineral, "Insect Stone", in the Altdorf region. This is a rare mineral that is highly toxic to the Skaven, and all the Insect Stones found in history were destroyed by the Thirteen Councils. However, recently there have been some strange deaths in the Altdorf underground city, and the Thirteen Councils suspected that more Insect Stones might have been dug up, so they ordered Tsanquilo, who had just escaped death, to investigate the matter.

Although he really wanted to find a quiet place to catch fish for a few months, Chuan Kuiro knew he had no choice but to quickly lead a team of engineering warlocks from the Skryre clan and his own followers to Altdorf.

As the second largest Skaven dungeon in the Old World, Altdorf Dungeon did not welcome Tranquilo's arrival. This huge dungeon had already had its own ideas, and even had a "Little Council of Thirteen". The Little Council of Thirteen did not think that Tranquilo was really here to investigate the Wormstone. Due to the nature of the Skaven race and Tranquilo's past bad deeds, they believed that the Grey Prophet was just using the Wormstone issue as an excuse to actually seize power.

If there was a chance, Chuan Kui Luo really didn't mind grabbing more power and benefits for himself, but this time he was really just here to carry out his mission. He spent a lot of effort to negotiate with the Little Thirteen Council, meet with all kinds of rats, negotiate, test, exchange interests, make verbal agreements and then quickly overturn them... The Gray Prophet was exhausted just dealing with the Little Thirteen Council. After several months of tossing and turning, the investigation of the insect stone had not even really begun.

After finally settling the Little Thirteen Council and finally getting down to business, new bad news came. A few human witch hunters suddenly broke into the sewers and accidentally broke into a Skaven outpost. What's worse is that before the ratmen could mobilize their forces to intercept them, these witch hunters broke through the blockade and returned to the surface, reporting their findings to their superiors.

Tsanquilo smelled a conspiracy. Although the Grey Prophet had no evidence to prove it, he instinctively felt that something was fishy. Before Tsanquilo could figure it out, more bad news came: the humans had sent more scouts underground, and several patrols had already clashed with the humans.

The existence of the underground city has been exposed, and it is too late to block the news. Although the top leaders of the Empire still insist that the ratmen do not exist and the so-called ratmen are just a subspecies of beastmen, the army led by Rick has begun to mobilize urgently, and the main streets of Altdorf are now patrolled by Rick guards around the clock.

While the Little Thirteen Council was still arguing about how to deal with the matter, the messenger of the Paradis Order came to visit. Now, the rat man finally knew why he was suddenly exposed.

There was no point in accusing the cult of despicable behavior, after all, the ratmen's own style of behavior would only be even more despicable. At the moment, only one thing really mattered: should we join forces with the cult?

The author says:

Author's words: PS: Reply to reader "Yuanyuan":

It was just a random character made based on various electronic pets without even a name, nothing special. As for what happened, it was just a failure in casting a spell and getting backfired.

Chapter 142 I was thinking...

After reviewing the last document, An Jiyue slumped down on the table.

Compared to Dustan who had to do almost everything himself, An Jiyue didn't have many government affairs to deal with personally. Most of the matters could be decided by County Magistrate Cao Han, and only the really important matters would be sent to her. However, although there were few government affairs, there were many other matters, and equipment research and development took up a lot of the girl's energy.

Whether it was the development and improvement of long-range weapons for the Recasters or the research project on the airship, An Jiyue was almost alone in handling it. The Great Scientist was definitely worthy of its 50-point high price. The girl herself was not bored with this kind of research work, but rather she enjoyed it... But she still had to be tired.

Theoretically, as the Aurora version of the master of engineering, the "Mohists" can also undertake such technical work. However, the Mohists are a very large category in the setting. After a long evolution and historical changes, the contemporary Mohists are simply a profession, and they have nothing to do with the Mohists, just like the earliest swordsmen were royal guards, most of whom were the sons of nobles without inheritance rights, and later became the current situation where former Jianghu heroes eat the emperor's food. The Mohists from the War Code are all military-oriented. In addition to maintaining heavy weapons and mechanical beasts and commanding mechanical beast troops to fight, they are usually best at ballistics calculations.

These people are very useful assistants in R&D work, but they are just assistants. It is unrealistic to expect them to help develop equipment or even host a R&D project. A similar problem also occurs with Barel. The Lord of Plateau Castle once said in the water group that his engineers are excellent in artillery (ballistas and trebuchets), but they are all useless as soon as they make new inventions, so he has to rely on abducting Grim Bloxen to light up the firearms and steam engine technology trees.

Note that this does not mean that these people cannot come up with any new inventions, but that they cannot come up with anything truly valuable. If you insist on asking them to research new technologies, they will most likely come up with something like a "fully automatic brain-destroying robot"...

In a nutshell, system units all have set abilities, but at the same time their abilities will never exceed the upper limit of the background settings. Unfortunately for An Jiyue, there used to be a legendary Mo Zhe in An's Zhendan military book, but that guy was deleted in a certain version iteration (Note 1).

An Jiyue now even had the urge to go to Nangao and bring back the legendary military equipment supervisor and "blind teacher" Shi Hong...

After returning to Xuanshui and settling Boris down, An Jiyue followed the local situation in real time through the school marquis sent to Altdorf, while continuing her unfinished work.

Plateau 25A solved the problem of the Recasters having almost no ranged units, but rifles alone were not enough. An engineering master among the Recasters proposed whether it was possible to enlarge the kinetic beam weapon to make it a heavy firepower like a cannon. An Jiyue had similar ideas from the beginning, but there was a problem that could not be avoided: the kinetic beam weapon was a device that used mental power as energy. It was easy to enlarge it, but it was difficult to find someone who could use it.

Kinetic beam weapons need to draw on the user's mental energy to form telekinetic warheads. The Recaster can still withstand the energy consumption of a rifle at this level; but if it were a cannon, even one shot might not be enough to drain a dozen Recasters.

Thinking of this, the girl thought of the Faceless Men's Mind Engine. When she first saw this thing on the battlefield, she had a vague feeling that it seemed to be a living thing (see Chapter 93). After violently cracking the encryption measures of the crystal marbles, she finally realized that it was not an illusion. The Mind Engine can indeed be considered a living thing to some extent.

The official name of crystal marbles is [Memory Matrix], which is widely used by the Faceless to record various information that needs to be preserved for a long time. There are many memory matrices, but most of them were found and destroyed by the Ancient Saints in ancient times. The memory matrix held by An Jiyue records the history of the ancient Faceless Empire, as well as the training methods of psychics.

The latter was inserted later. As outsiders, the Old Ones believed that the existence of the natives of the planets such as the Faceless Ones did not conform to the grand plan, so they sent the Lizardmen army to attack the Faceless Empire. The brutal war lasted for centuries, and when the war was at its most intense, even the Old Ones personally participated in the war (Note 2). In the end, the Faceless Ones were defeated and the survivors were forced to flee underground. Their empire was burned to the ground, and all information carriers recording the history, technology, philosophical thoughts, and artistic creations of the Faceless Ones were deliberately destroyed by the Old Ones, and countless precious documents disappeared in the long river of history.

According to the records of the memory matrix in An Jiyue's hand, the Shensi Engine is equipped with an artificial soul. Except for the lack of emotions, this thing is infinitely close to a natural soul. This is why An Jiyue feels that the Shensi Engine seems to be a "living thing".

Unfortunately, this memory matrix is ​​not used to store technology. It only mentions the origin, development history, and general manufacturing process of the mind engine, but does not mention specific technical details. As for the psychic training method attached to it, it was inserted by the previous owner of this memory matrix, Dorzer Void Whisper, before he became a Seer.

In general, the information stored in the memory matrix is ​​still very useful. It answered many questions and let An Jiyue know many secrets of the ancient times. The most valuable thing is naturally the training method of psychics. Unfortunately, this thing is quite useless for the Zhendan people, because only individuals with special mental power can become psychics, and this talent and magical senses are two completely different existences.

Magic sense is a prerequisite for becoming a spellcaster. After all, only those who can sense the wind of magic can manipulate it. There are very few people who have magic sense, and even fewer who can truly become spellcasters. In general, people with magical talents must have strong mental powers.

The psychic power specialty is something else entirely. It is a special soul quality that allows the psychic to extend his psychic power to the outside world. This quality has no direct correlation with the strength of the psychic power. The psychic power of the psychic power specialty will gradually increase as the ability is developed, but before starting training, their psychic power is often at the level of ordinary people.

Simply put, magic talent means that one is born with high spiritual attributes, while spiritual strength specialty means that one has average spiritual attributes but has natural talent skills when he appears. An Jiyue has both magic talent and spiritual strength specialty, but in most cases, these two talents do not appear in a single individual at the same time.

After removing the encryption of the memory matrix, An Jiyue sent the training methods of psychics to the group members who had long coveted telekinesis. From the current feedback, the other three group members did not have any talent in psychic power, and they were not spiritual experts.

The memory matrix mentioned that the Faceless had a method that could efficiently screen out people with special psychic powers. Unfortunately, the memory matrix did not record any specific information, only mentioned that there was such a thing. As a race with special psychic powers, the Faceless naturally did not need this. This method was actually prepared for the vassal races of the Faceless.

Unable to select those with special mental power, the training method for psychics that Dorzer left in the memory matrix is ​​useless. The only benefit it has brought so far is that An Jiyue finally knows how to use telekinesis correctly and the advanced use of mental energy. Her previous method of using telekinesis was wasteful and inefficient, and she was just relying on her powerful mental power.

… Pulling her thoughts back to their original state, the girl looked down at the half-finished design in front of her. The core component of the mind engine is something called an "artificial neural circuit". These parts are combined in a specific way, and when combined with subsystems such as the energy source and telekinetic shield generator, it becomes a mind engine that can carry artificial souls.

Artificial neural circuits are hardware, and artificial souls are software. The combination of the two can generate spiritual energy as inorganic matter, and then use psionic power. The Faceless Man's mind engine is essentially an artificially created psionicist, even though it can only use a few specific psionic powers and the precision is very poor.

An Jiyue thought about what would happen if the Recaster was paired with an artificial neural circuit, and concluded that as long as this technology was used as an aid, the kinetic cannon would be technically feasible, and the performance of the kinetic rifle would also be revolutionized.

Now, there is only one question left: where can we get this technology?

……

Note 1: This is a true story.

Note 2: Whether in Medieval or 40K, GW has never directly described the race of the Old Saints, only through indirect descriptions in various corners, some sporadic information has been mentioned. In Medieval, the introduction of Kugga's artifact spear mentioned that this spear was originally held by a female Old Saint Talanxla, and this Old Saint had a warlike personality and often drove a sky chariot into the battlefield. This shows that, first of all, the Old Saints are divided by gender. Secondly, at least some of the Old Saints will personally participate in the battle.

Author's Note: PS: I will update yesterday. There will be another update in the evening. Thank God, I didn't catch a cold even though it rained a lot yesterday.

Chapter 143 The Beginning of the Flying Fleet

In comparison, the flying ship is much "simpler".

An Jiyue never thought of designing a high-performance product in one step. The primary need at the moment is to solve the problem of "having" and "not having", and then solve the problem of "good" and "bad". The flying ship is a prerequisite for building the Pingshan defense line. After all, we can't rely entirely on the alchemists to transport building materials, right?

Not to mention how wasteful it is to use precious spellcasters as transport helicopters, ordinary alchemists themselves cannot carry much cargo. After all, not everyone can fly around the sky with hundreds of fully armed soldiers as casually as An Jiuyue.

The first technology verification machine designed by the girl was simply modified from a walking boat. In addition to the three main rivers, the Blood River, the Howling River, and the Skull River, there are many large and small inland tributaries in Sanhe Prefecture. When Pingshan rose from the south bank of the Blood River, the Zhendan people were finally able to leave the protection of the city wall and go to various parts of Sanhe Prefecture to build villages and towns. The fishing industry naturally developed, and the shipbuilding industry in Sanhe Prefecture also prospered.
