Chapter 267 Ready to go
During these five standard Terran weeks of delivery, Fu Qinghai was waiting at Saturn without going anywhere.
On the one hand, they are waiting for the Saturn Shipyard to refit the warship, and on the other hand, they are waiting for the Navy to deliver the crew.
Even if the entire crew of the Liima is moved to the Suzheng, it will not be enough to operate this behemoth. Additional crew members will definitely be needed. These experienced seamen are all transferred from the Imperial Navy. Ilia Lava Lei had already coordinated and arranged everything in the Military Affairs Department.
As the representative of Party A, Fu Qinghai went to the site to give instructions and supervise the modification of Su Zheng by Saturn Shipyard.
It is different from the complex equipment sequence owned by the Imperial Navy: from small and fast frigates and destroyers, to the mainstay light, standard, and heavy cruisers, to the final battleships, and a wide variety of special function ships.
After the promulgation of the Codex Astartes, there were only two types of warships in the Astartes Chapter's ship sequence: battle barges and strike cruisers.
A battle barge is a specially modified battleship, and a strike cruiser is a specially modified cruiser. What makes the two special? The teleporter deck and drop pod launch port are add-ons designed specifically for Space Marines.
Teleportation technology must be used with power armor, and mortal soldiers usually do not wear power armor. Orbital airborne strikes are also exclusive to Space Marines, because the fragile bodies of mortals cannot withstand the huge overload of orbital airborne strikes.
The Alicia paratroopers in the Imperial Guard are not orbital airborne strikes. They are more similar to paratroopers. They do not use drop pods, but use gravity parachutes.
Therefore, if it is just an ordinary naval cruiser or battleship, there is no need to install a transfer deck and a drop pod launch port. It will not be used at all, including the training cage. Mortals will be tortured to death if they enter the training cage.
For the Shenji Brotherhood, the Liema is a strike cruiser and the Suzheng is a combat barge. In addition to the above-mentioned necessary special components, some additional facilities unique to the White Scars, such as a motorcycle training ground, also need to be installed. of.
Qiao Shida worked hard to train the new recruits, and Fu Qinghai carefully observed the modification.
Fu Qinghai also wanted to own his own Phaeton Shipyard, so he was particularly curious about the craftsmanship of the Saturn Shipyard. He watched the entire modification process of the Suzheng. Tony Stark's electronic soul backup was running at high speed like it was boiling, and he was crazy about stealing.
He was a casting master and a representative of Party A. If he had to stand by and watch, the oil guys wouldn't be able to say much.
…
A month and a half later.
A brand new Emperor-class battleship is anchored in the airport.
Fu Qinghai stood on the bridge with his hands behind his hands, looking at the dense crowd below. Uniformed crew members were boarding the ship one after another. The flow of people continued to shuttle and gradually merged into the giant ship.
The crew is the cornerstone of the battleship, just as mortals are the cornerstone of the empire. Many of them may spend their entire lives, or even generations, on this battleship.
We have to let No. 56 conduct a psychic political review later. The Suzheng is the flagship of the Brotherhood, and spies from the Inquisition, Assassin's Chamber, and Ministry of Justice must not be allowed to sneak into it.
Fu Qinghai thought secretly in his heart.
…
Su Zhenghao's conference room.
More spacious and luxurious than the Liema.
The main members of the Shenji Brotherhood attended this meeting.
Fu Qinghai looked at Eugene and said:
"All the crew members of the Fierce Horse have been transferred to the Suzheng. I serve as the fleet commander, Eugene serves as the captain, the chief navigator is still Tracy Gray, and the star language choir director is Summer Flospin. "
Two ships are also ships, and a minifleet is also a fleet.
The Su Zheng Hao has taken over all the old team members of the Lie Ma Hao. These are old people who have experienced battles with Fu Qinghai. They are very trustworthy in terms of loyalty and ability.
Eugene Elinor wrote them all down.
When he heard that Xialu Frosping was the director of Star Language, Eugene was obviously stunned for a moment and hesitated to speak.
Fu Qinghai said calmly:
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Xia Lu himself was also at the meeting. Eugene glanced at the little girl and said to Fu Qinghai:
"Khan, after all, Xia Long's service time is short, I'm worried about the Star Language Choir..."
Fu Qinghai said firmly:
"This is my decision. Xia Lu is the director of Xingyu. There is no need to discuss this anymore."
Xia Lu just graduated from the Psychic Academy at the age of nineteen and joined the Liima as the only astropath. Now he is only twenty-one years old. The Suzheng is different from the Liima in that the Suzheng is fully equipped. The astrology choir room and astrology choir.
Fu Qinghai insisted on letting this girl in her early twenties be the director of Star Language because Fu Qinghai only trusted Xia Long. It is not uncommon for psykers to be possessed by demons, and the usual choice is to be executed on the spot. Fu Qinghai tried his best to save him, and the little girl repaid his kindness. The two conspired to pass on a lot of false astrological information.
What's more, whether it's the graduation report of the Psychic Academy or Xia Long's daily performance, including the incident of being possessed by the demon Slaanesh, it shows that she is a girl with high psychic talent. Ordinary humans want to be possessed by demons. This condition is not yet available.
The little girl, her eyes covered with lace strips, sat timidly on her seat, her fair and slender hands nervously twisted together, her head lowered and she did not dare to speak.
Next to her, Tracy Gray smiled and said nothing.
Fu Qinghai clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, let's just arrange it like this. Get familiar with the work of each position as soon as possible and let the warship operate normally. After that, we will return to Terra for a short rest, replenish energy ammunition and various supplies, and then we will embark on a new journey. "
"Camille stays and the others disperse. By the way, Lao Qiao, call Lin Yu to the conference room."
After Fu Qinghai finished giving his instructions, everyone left one after another.
Tracy came to Fu Qinghai and said:
"Khan, taking the opportunity to rest in Terra, I would like to take a few days off to go home. My family is in Atlantis."
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"Okay, just return to the team on time."
Looking at the navigator's leaving figure, Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered something and raised his hand to stop her:
"Wait a minute, Tracy."
The woman turned around with a confused look on her face.
Fu Qinghai said:
"Please help me find out if there is a family named 'Kemp' in Terra. Their family has a composer named 'Hall Kemp' who once served as a composer on the cruiser Sossalan of the Ultramarines Legion. The Narrator serves.”
Tracy felt a little strange, but still agreed:
"Okay, Khan."
Then he turned and left.
The siege of Terra, which lasted for three months, not only smashed the buildings and facilities of the Throne World to pieces, but also beat the old aristocratic system and gentry class of the Throne World to pieces. Those nobles who hid in the palace were okay. Those who did not hide in, the rebels who did not surrender would be killed, and the rebels who surrendered would be liquidated.
When he returned to Terra last time, Fu Qinghai asked Ilia Lavale to use his connections with the Ministry of Military Affairs to find this "Kamp family", but the result was that no such family was found. During the years of war and chaos, many long-established and powerful families perished in the Horus Rebellion, and Hall Kamp obviously did not belong to any prominent powerful family.
All Navigator families are hereditary nobles. Perhaps Tracy Gray can find out news about the Hall Kemp family in Terra's noble circles.
Lin Yu, wearing training clothes, walked into the conference room.
The meeting of the reincarnators began.
Fu Qinghai knocked on the table and said:
"You two, let's talk about the last reincarnation world."
"Khan, my last reincarnation world was a copy of the movie "Elysium"."
Lin Yu said first.
"Oh, Elysium?"
Fu Qinghai's expression perked up when he heard this:
"Have you obtained a fully automated medical platform?"
The Medpod series of fully automatic medical platforms in Elysium, a black-tech ceiling for science fiction medical treatment, are more magical than the Bacta box in Star Wars. Although I don’t know if it will work on a human being with two hearts and three lungs, such as a space warrior. The probability is that it will not work, but it is also excellent for use by mortal soldiers and chapter servants.
Lin Yu shook his head, placed a strange-looking firearm on the table, and said:
"Only this, the Kusar Klaw Pulse Rifle."
Fu Qinghai was greatly disappointed and cursed:
"No, you are a space warrior who has descended into the Elysian Space universe, or is it a brand new and completely enhanced version that can't even handle a fully automatic medical platform? What's the use of giving you these two heart and three lungs powered armor?"
Lin Yu smiled bitterly and said:
"Boss, have you forgotten? I don't have any money to assimilate the power armor. I borrowed the assimilation points from you to assimilate this body."
Oh, when Lin Yu said it, Fu Qinghai also remembered it.
I was so anxious to scold him just now that I forgot about it.
"Besides, my height of two meters sixty-seven meters is really eye-catching. I was almost arrested by people from the Civic Cooperation Administration and Amadana Corporation for research, and it took a lot of effort to escape."
Lin Yu said.
Sounds like a disgrace to a Space Marine.
But Fu Qinghai feels the same way. He himself has been a naked space warrior for a period of time. Elysium is also a science fiction universe. There are weapons that can penetrate power armor, not to mention a mere enhanced flesh and blood body. .
Lin Yu returned all the thousands of borrowed assimilation points to Fu Qinghai. It seems that although this guy has not obtained the black technology, he has made a lot of assimilation points, but as long as he can get a fully automatic medical platform, Fu Qinghai would rather He doesn't pay back the money.
"Director Ka, what about you?"
Fu Qinghai turned to Camille.
Camille curled her lips helplessly:
"The main world of reincarnation in Jurassic Park is quite boring."
Jurassic Park Universe... Fu Qinghai recalled the series of movies he had watched as a child and nodded. There really were no commendable scientific and technological achievements, except for using a drop of mosquito blood in amber to recreate most of the Jurassic period. dinosaur.
Strictly speaking, InGen is "biosynthesizing" dinosaurs rather than "resurrecting" dinosaurs, because the atmospheric environment of the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Triassic periods of the Mesozoic era and the modern Earth period is definitely different. .
Just as Fu Qinghai was thinking about it, Camille pushed a hard drive to the table and said:
"International Genetic Technologies' complete set of information on biological cloning technology."
Fu Qinghai laughed and took the hard drive:
"You still understand me, Director Ka. You are worthy of being the chief pharmacist of our Brotherhood of Gods and Machines. I happen to have some special creatures from the radiation universe that I need you to clone."
Kamil is old-fashioned and much more reliable than Lin Yu, a young boy. Moreover, Kamil is no longer a newcomer to reincarnation. The points he has accumulated are enough for him to assimilate the power armor, plus the medical backpack on his back should not be needed. question.
…
Mars, outer orbit.
A huge fleet is about to set sail.
A battleship, a cruiser, a weird fishbone spaceship, in addition to a Goliath-class factory ship and a total of nine imperial transport ships.
The latter two carry personnel and materials sent from Mars to Phaeton.
The Goliath-class factory ship is a Mechanicus ship of a higher level than the Goliath-class foundry ship. It can directly absorb plasma from stars to provide an energy source for ship fuel and shipboard production systems. The disadvantage is that it is very fragile. It explodes at one point.
Imperial transport ships, Fu Qinghai is very familiar with this type of ship. His debut battle - the battle on the planet Roswell 7, revolved around three imperial transport ships, but those three imperial transport ships were Controlled by the Word Bearers.
"Great Sage Kane has expressed enough kindness to your teacher. Master Quinto's status in Mars is not low."
Ilia Lavare stood next to Fu Qinghai and said.
The two stood side by side, looking through the armored glass portholes of the bridge at the servitors below who were busy loading various instruments and equipment. The huge production line was split into sections and carefully sent into the huge open cargo hold of the transport ship.
Fu Qinghai nodded slightly and said:
"Too many Forge Worlds have failed to listen to the announcement, and Mars also hopes to develop a faction loyal to itself in the border areas of the Obscure Star Territory."
"Master Quinto has promised to Great Sage Cain: Within the next ten years, the paint of Phaeton Forge World will still be the same rusty red as Mars. Not only that, all products produced by Phaeton, heraldry marks, identification systems And the forging specifications will be consistent with the first forging world."
Fu Qinghai said lightly.
Ilia looked up at Fu Qinghai doubtfully.
She wasn't very familiar with Master Quinto, but her intuition told her that this seemed to be Fu Qinghai's handiwork.
"What advice did you give Master Quinto?"
Ilia asked.
Fu Qinghai nodded.
Great Sage Kane hopes that Phaeton will become a "little Mars", but the real situation may disappoint him - Fu Qinghai and his teacher are very interested in alien technology, coupled with a steady stream of technological supplements from other reincarnated worlds , Phaeton will most likely become the second Huang Quan No. 8.
Known as "Little Yellow Eight".
…
Fu Qinghai led several technical priests to walk in the passage of the Ishimura. The engine guys looked left and right, very curious about the internal structure of this "ancient technology spaceship".
"As you can see."
Fu Qinghai said as he walked.
"This ancient spaceship uses a super-light navigation technology that is similar but not exactly the same as our current technology. I call it the 'shock point' navigation technology."
There is no shortage of various super-light navigation technologies in science fiction works, from subspace navigation to hyperspace travel, from wormhole shuttles to warp flight.
The hyperdrive of the Dead Space series has a unique name - "Shock Point Drive", which comes from the great invention of Dr. Hideo Ishimura.
When using the shock point drive to travel faster than light, the spacecraft is in a distorted space-time called "shock space". In this process, the spacecraft itself will be wrapped in a special force field to prevent itself from being distorted by the oscillating space. The concept of this force field is very similar to the "warp bubble" mentioned in other science fiction works.
As shown in the game "Dead Space 3", in order not to get lost in the twisted oscillating space, the ship needs to use the oscillating beacon at the destination to navigate when sailing. The oscillating beacon is similar to the role of a navigator.
A huge ring-shaped shock point drive auxiliary device called the "Shock Ring" also appeared in the comic "Dead Space: Recycling", which functions similar to the star gate in Warhammer 40K.
Fu Qinghai stopped in the engine area, pointed at the shock point driver in front of him, and said:
"Although I have not tried to start it, after analysis, I believe that this ancient technology engine - the shock point drive, is likely to be a type of subspace engine, which can enable ships to enter subspace."
A technical priest immediately asked:
"But this spacecraft does not have a Geller force field generator. How does it maintain a stable navigation in subspace?"
Fu Qinghai smiled slightly:
"I guess... the subspace in ancient times may not be like it is now, with rough waves and surging energy."
The technical priests were stunned upon hearing this.
Was the ancient warp peaceful?
This is a very bold guess.
It involves the history of the Warhammer 40K universe.
"Do you have evidence, Qingshan Khan?"
Fu Qinghai shook his head:
"No, just a guess."
He can't say that he has seen GW's settings.
"Okay, fellow technicians."
Fu Qinghai clapped his hands and said:
"I'm not here to find you to explore the history of the universe. What we need to discuss now is a practical engineering and technical problem - how to make this spaceship follow my fleet to the Obscure Star Territory."
At this point, the oil guys temporarily put aside their speculations about ancient technology and began to discuss it.
Some people proposed to fix the Ishimura to a large transport ship, and some people proposed to temporarily install a Geller force field on the Ishimura.
Anyway, there is a way.
…
Terra, Lions Gate Airport.
Lin Yu, wearing power armor, led Tracy Gray to Fu Qinghai's captain's room.
Fu Qinghai raised his head from his desk:
"You're late, navigator."
Tracy stood behind Lin Yu. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, her eyes were filled with tears, and her nose was red from crying.
Fu Qinghai was a little surprised.
In my impression, Tracy is the standard Terran upper-class aristocratic woman, with a magnetic voice and elegant manners. Her speech always carries the aura of a resident of the Throne World who has seen the world. Why does she look so embarrassed today?
"Khan!"
Tracy came to Fu Qinghai, choked with sobs and cried:
"My family, my father and grandfather, forced me to marry my brother. They said they would send a new navigator to replace my work on the Suzheng, while I stayed on Terra to get married and serve the family. Give birth to offspring.”
"Then what?"
"I didn't want to, and I refused to obey, so they locked me in the family dungeon. I found the opportunity to escape from it. They sent the family's private soldiers to chase me. Fortunately, I met him on the way to Lions Gate Airport. Chief Lin..."
Fu Qinghai looked at Lin Yu:
"Where are the pursuers?"
Lin Yu made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Fu Qinghai stared:
"Kill!? Brat, this is fucking Holy Terra, and you kill people casually in Terra?"
Lin Yu quickly waved his hand:
"No, no, Khan, I just knocked them unconscious and threw them into the sewer."
Fu Qinghai thought that was pretty much it.
The son of the Minister of Justice should not have any legal knowledge at all.
Of course, Fu Qinghai is not afraid of a navigator family, whether it is an authoritative family settled in the capital, a nomadic family following the fleet, or a deluded family living on the border.
But there is no need to deliberately offend a Navigator family.
These guys sometimes stick together. Once upon a time, the Emperor's Webway Plan accidentally leaked news and was known to the Navigator Ambassador. Because they were afraid of losing their current status and role after the success of the Webway Plan, all the Navigator families wanted to Join forces to sabotage the Emperor's plans for the Webway.
You must know that at that time, the Horus Heresy had not yet broken out, Malcador was not dead, all members of the Imperial Guard were still alive, and the eighteen Primarchs and their respective legions were all loyal. How dare these navigators dare to do this? Small actions in private.
This shows how unscrupulous vested interest groups are in protecting their inherent interests.
Of course, on the other hand, some senior and elderly navigators are actually very powerful in combat. Their psychic abilities are unpredictable and difficult to guard against. After the Geller force field of a battleship failed, some battleships once broke through. A case where a subspace demon entering a battleship was stared back by the navigator.
Intermarriage between relatives is a common method used by Navigator families to maintain psychic bloodlines. Fu Qinghai cannot comment at will. A family that cannot give birth to Navigators will inevitably gradually lose its transcendent status and preferential treatment. Sang in Schwerin Hive City The Dyke family is an example.
Fu Qinghai is carefully weighing the pros and cons.
He just heard that Tracy was in some trouble in Terra, so he sent Lin Yu to the Navigator Compass to pick her up. He didn't expect that it would turn out to be something like this.
Fu Qinghai looked at Tracy:
"What do you think?"
Tracy sobbed and said:
"I don't want to marry my brother. I hate this kind of incest. I hate my parents. They were forced to marry by the family. My childhood was spent in this twisted family environment."
"My brother, he had congenital genetic defects since he was a child. His limbs were paralyzed, his intelligence was low, and his body was swollen like a monster. However, the family was never willing to end his pain and raised him in a dungeon just to keep him. His life will one day marry a female from his family."
Tracy hugged Fu Qinghai's arm, looked up at Fu Qinghai with tears streaming down his face, and said:
"I didn't expect... I didn't expect that the one they chose was me. Oh, oh, oh, Khan, please save me. I don't want to go back. I don't want to go back and get married."
"well."
Fu Qinghai rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment and sighed:
"I understand. Just stay on the battleship and I will take care of it."
There was no other way, Fu Qinghai could only contact Ilia.
"Si Zu, I encountered something difficult..."
Fu Qinghai recounted the situation to Ilia Lavare through the communication link.
"Why do you want to get involved in the Navigator family's internal affairs, Qingshan?"
Ilia's rhetorical question was not what Fu Qinghai expected.
Indeed, whether it is intermarriage between close relatives or keeping relatives in captivity, these are all internal affairs of the Navigator family, and they are still traditional. Xing Ju Ting cannot control it, so why should Fu Qinghai do it.
Fu Qinghai could only change his perspective:
"Let me put it this way, Sizu, although Tracy has not shown a particularly strong talent yet, I need a navigator that I can trust... In addition, Sizu, you are also a woman, I believe you can understand her Feelings.”
Ilya Lavare was silent.
She is a non-marriage person. Not only is she not getting married, she has not even found a partner after joining the Ministry of Military Affairs. Ilia's ultimate obsessive-compulsive disorder about data makes her feel that a partner is superfluous in life. An eyesore.
But that doesn't mean she can't feel the same way.
"Okay, I understand, I will find a way."
Finally, Ilia said slowly.
Fu Qinghai didn’t want her to be in too much trouble, so he said:
"If you need me to explain the situation to the Khan, I can report to the Khan in person..."
"No need." Ilia interrupted directly, "Don't bother him with this trivial matter."
"Okay, please, Sizu."
