Chapter 268 Chance Encounter

Chapter 268 Chance Encounter

In the past few days, Tracy Gray had been hiding on the Suzheng to avoid the limelight, and nothing happened when she asked her to inquire about the "Hall Camp" family.

Fu Qinghai didn't know how Ilia planned to deal with the Gray family's mess. He was busy with his own affairs as usual. He was busy handing over supplies and personnel to the technical priests of Mars, and frequently traveled to and from Lions Gate Airport and Skhalax. city.

In ordinary hive worlds, it is very rare to see a technical priest. The oil guys stationed in the hive are all guests of the planetary governor. But in the city of Skhalax on Terra, this Adeptus Mechanicus The enclave was full of technical priests walking around wearing red hoods and clothes wrapped around the edges of gears.

On this day, Fu Qinghai was discussing matters with several of Master Quinto's disciples. Suddenly, a greeting captured by Lyman's ears caught his attention:

"Hey Call, this way, follow me."

"Slow down, Friedrich."

Um? Call, which Call?

Fu Qinghai turned around and looked. Among the bustling crowd, a young technical priest in a red robe and hood was walking forward. His skin was pale, his short light brown hair was combed back, his forehead was protruding, and there were sticks of different thicknesses stuck on the back of his head. Implants and mechanical eyes flashed with light.

The sound was from his companion calling him from the front.

Could it be that "Kaur"?

"Belisarius Call?"

Fu Qinghai tried to shout.

The young technical priest turned around:

"you know me?"

Oh my gosh, it’s really Kaul.

Fu Qinghai didn't know what to say for a while.

The future Great Sage Caul will look like all the big bosses of the Mechanicum. His body has been replaced and covered with a large number of mechanical prosthetics and modified parts. His huge, rickety figure is wrapped in a red robe, and he is no taller than the Primarch. How much shorter.

But the young technical priest in front of him looked "human-like", literally "human-like".

The problem is, according to the original history, Caul should still be working in the Forge World of Reza at this moment and stealing from his master. How could he appear on Terra? Could it be that the foundry director who tried to take his body had been assimilated by Kaul and become one of his personalities?

Fu Qinghai tried hard to recall the original novels he had read.

It seems...I remembered.

The young man Kaul glanced at Fu Qinghai strangely, feeling that this Astartes was a bit inexplicable, so he pulled his friend and turned around to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Fu Qinghai stopped him.

The young man Kaoer stopped. Fu Qinghai stretched out his hand to push away the surrounding crowd, strode over, stood in front of Kaoer, looked up and down, and said:

"Hello, Technical Priest, let me introduce myself. I am Qingshan Khan, the Eleventh Company of the White Scars Chapter, and the Captain of the Brotherhood of Divine Machines."

A powerful Astartes officer.

Kaul felt more and more strange, but still said:

"Hello, Qingshan Khan, I am Belisarius Caul, you already know my name."

Fu Qinghai came closer and lowered his voice and said:

"Technician Caul, I know this is a bit abrupt, and it is difficult to explain it to you in a few words. Let me put it this way: I have a deal I want to discuss with you. The reward is a large amount of throne coins, or relic technology that guarantees your interest. "

"Ah, this..."

Kaur looked surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fu Qinghai stared at the young man in front of him with burning eyes.

"Kaul, Lord Sedena is still waiting for us."

The companion beside him pulled him and warned him.

"Uh, this company commander..."

The incident happened so unexpectedly that Kaul instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Aren't you curious about my conditions?"

Fu Qinghai interrupted his refusal.

"And what are your terms, Mr. Khan?"

Kaul asked.

“An endorsement contract, that’s it.”

Fu Qinghai looked at Kaur and said seriously.

"Endorsement contract?"

Young Kaur frowned, feeling quite confused about this unfamiliar vocabulary.

"Yes." Fu Qinghai explained:

"You don't need to do any work. You just need to lease the right to use your image and name to me, and I will pay you a lot of money."

"As for the deadline, how about ten thousand years?"

As Fu Qinghai spoke, he took a piece of biochemical parchment and a mechanical quill from the hands of the technical priest next to him, quickly drafted a simple contract document in twos and twos, and handed it to the confused examiner. you.

Kaul took it and saw that it was not signed by the God Machine Brotherhood of the White Scars Chapter, but by a forging world that he had never heard of:

Phaeton.

Before Kaul could react, Fu Qinghai thrust a servo skull and a mechanical quill into Kaur's hands and said:

"There is an ancient subspace engine model called the 'Shock Point Drive' stored in the Thinker system. I will use this technology to exchange it with you. What do you think? Sign it."

Kaur's brain, which had been enhanced through illegal enhancement surgery, was somewhat unable to turn around at this moment. The companions next to him also found it unbelievable - could such a good thing as pie in the sky really happen?

"You can inspect the goods on the spot."

Fu Qinghai reminded.

Kaul doubtfully took the servo skull, connected the connecting cable under the skull to the reader implant on the back of his head, and quickly scanned the general content inside.

The White Scar Captain was not lying. There was indeed some kind of subspace engine model that had never appeared before.

"I, sign...and then you can take away this servo skull and the technical information inside, right?"

Call said with a skeptical look on his face.

"Yes."

Fu Qinghai said with great certainty:

"In the name of War Eagle Chagatai Khan, I guarantee the validity of this contract."

The Primarchs have all moved out.

"Okay, I'll sign."

Until this moment, Kaul was still very confused. He took the mechanical quill and read through the contract content carefully. There were only a few simple sentences. He felt that he did not have to pay any price, and there were no restrictions or traps. He was in Biochemical Sheepskin. He signed his name at the end of the paper:

Dominius Belisarius Call.

"Deal, Mr. Call."

Fu Qinghai held a piece of biochemical parchment and stood there, watching the young version of Belisarius Caul and his good friend Fredrich Qiufu disappear into the crowds of people in Skhalax City. among.

The three technical priests around him were still confused.

I don't understand why Fu Qinghai suddenly acted like this.

Only Fu Qinghai knows clearly:

Today, just after today, Belisarius Caul will no longer be an unknown and ordinary technical priest. He will inherit all the knowledge of the most powerful biological scientist in the underground laboratory of the palace, and he will rise to great heights from then on. .

in short:

After passing this village, there is no such shop.

…

As the future ruling sage, the chief representative of Ohm Messiah, and one of the Iron Triangle of the Empire, Belisarius Caul never expected that his name and portrait would appear on the packaging of a drink. .

At that time, he had a matrix of multiple personalities on the inside, a giant cybernetic body on the outside, and held thousands of troops of the Mechanicus in his hands. Whenever he thought about this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his assistant and friend Qiu Fu. The 88th generation clone of Redridge complained:

"When I thought about it, I originally thought that he would name some powerful weapon after me, like the Leman Russ tank, the Malcador heavy tank, or the Macharius Like a heavy tank."

Having said this, Kaur shook his head helplessly:

"But he actually printed me on the packaging of a radioactive drink, and even added a slogan of his own accord: 'Kaul says it's okay after he drinks it' - I never said this."

What Great Sage Kaul didn't expect was even more.

This incident actually became one of the reasons for the opposition within the Mechanicus to criticize him:

"You, Belisarius Call, don't even have a tongue, intestines, or stomach. You go to be the spokesperson for Nuka-Cola. Isn't this a clear defrauding of consumers!"

…

Thanks to the double strengthening of Fu Qinghai's brain by Tony Stark's electronic soul backup and M.O.D.O.K.'s brain, Fu Qinghai can recall many details of the original Warhammer 40K novel that have been forgotten for a long time.

Regarding the life of Belisarius Call, it involves many original novels, such as "Wolfsbane", "Belisarius Call: The Great Cause", etc., which are relatively fragmented, and it took Fu Qinghai some time to write them down. recall.

He knew why young Caul was on Terra.

During the Horus Heresy, Caul and his friend Qiu Fu happened to watch the entire process of Leman Russ assassinating Horus with the Spear of Dionysus. The Space Wolves and Horus The two men exchanged naval cannon fire and ganged up on each other, resulting in a bloody and tragic fight.

It happened that Caul's female boss at the time, Hester Asputia, the foundry director of the Talissan Lien A4 forging world, decided to surrender to the Warmaster and wanted to seize Caul, but Caul took it instead. He became the first member of the "Belisarius Intracranial Orchestra".

I will not mention the subsequent encounters. They were nothing more than a lucky escape and then working as a handyman in the Reza Forge World. The reason why Caul appeared in Terra was because of a person-Azekel Sedena, who once A scientist who assisted the Emperor in the development of the first generation of Space Marines, it was this man who invented the nineteenth transformation surgery, the "Black Carapace".

Yes, scientists, not Tech-Priests, for when the Emperor planned the Primarchs and Space Marines, Mars and the Mechanicum were not yet part of the Imperium of Man.

Although Sandena doesn't look much different from a technical priest. His whole body has been replaced by mechanical prosthetics, and he has taken various life-extending surgeries and immortality potions. However, there is a core difference between the two - Sandena is An atheist, he does not believe in the God of All Machines and the Om Messiah.

At this time, Sandina's life span has reached its end, and any means of extending his life are useless. He was going to die, but he didn't want to die, so he planned to find several candidates to seize the body, and Kaul was one of them. In the end, he threatened Kaul's friend Qiu Fu's life to force Kaur to merge with his mind.

Unexpectedly, Caul took over his body again. This time, not only did the knowledge in his head belong to Caul, but his status and authority in the Cult of the Mechanicus also belonged to Caul, becoming "Bei". The second member of the "Lessarius Intracranial Orchestra".

Here is a very interesting detail:

When Sandina was doing experiments with the Emperor in his early years, the Emperor suddenly said to him on one occasion: "Call, no matter what problems you encounter in the future, you must follow your own heart and don't be bound by the rules of the Mechanicus. ..." and a lot of words like that. At that time, Sandina was still very confused - why did the Emperor call me "Kaul" when my name was clearly "Sandyna"? At that time, Sandena thought the Emperor had misremembered his name.

When Caul and Sandina's minds were completely integrated, Caul "saw" this memory, and he realized that the Emperor had foreseen what would happen in the future as early as during the Terra Unification War. The words were not meant for Sandayna, but for Kaul who had succeeded in seizing the body.

Fu Qinghai just wanted to say: The God Emperor is awesome!

At this point in time, Fu Qinghai met Kaul and Qiu Fu in Skhalax City. The two did not know what dangers were waiting for them in the future, but Fu Qinghai knew that the young Kaul was about to rise to great heights.

Fu Qinghai did not dare to talk too much to Caul. He was worried that due to the influence of his butterfly effect, Caul could not merge with Sandina's mind. In the future human empire without this great ruler, Robert Guilliman would be afraid. None of them will survive.

Fu Qinghai never thought about dragging Kaul into the Phaeton Forging World. He is not the male protagonist in the ancient Internet novels. He is domineering and arrogant and will be worshiped by everyone. Kaul is not inferior to him in terms of ambition and knowledge. , why should you rely on others?

At this moment, he just had some emotions and a heroic feeling of participating in a major historical event - he witnessed with his own eyes the rise of Belisarius Caul's great cause.

As for the endorsement contract...

Talking about money is too vulgar, so don’t mention it.

…

solar system.

A brand new convoy is sailing towards the gates of Hades.

The major plot line event "The Great Purge" is over.

But that doesn't mean the entire galaxy is at peace.

Pirates, aliens, heretics, traitors, chaos... are still raging in the empire. No one knows that a mere battle barge and a strike cruiser are not enough to withstand the greedy gazes cast on the Goliath-class factory ship.

Fu Qinghai strode into the passage of the battleship.

Attendant Lin Yu followed closely behind.

Lin Yu is not very old. Whether he is before or after entering the world of reincarnation, he is about sixteen or seventeen years old. Young people of this age can easily develop an inexplicable sense of admiration for others, and Fu Qinghai can feel it.

Fortunately, Lin Yu's performance and evaluation by Qiao Shida were pretty good, and he usually did things neatly and neatly. Fu Qinghai allowed this kind of admiration to ferment, and promoted him to his attendant, just like Vlahos's attendant. Same.

It has nothing to do with his identity as the son of the Minister of Justice. After all, Fu Qinghai does not intend to have anything to do with Terra's politics, and he is not interested in flattering the Lord's stinky feet and becoming a politician's lackey.

Think about the bosses in previous lives, who had a male assistant and a female secretary. Isn’t this standard equipment when going out?

Fu Qinghai likes his ship very much. It is a brand-new warship, and even the air is refreshing.

The interior decoration of the human Imperial warships is divided into two extremes: the Emperor's Children and the Death Guard.

The decoration of the Emperor's warship is extremely gorgeous and extravagant, with various banners, flags, relief murals, carved beams and painted pillars surrounded by greenery, which is dazzling and beautiful, in line with Fulgrim's pretentious character.

The decoration of the Death Guard's battleships is extremely simple and even crude. Mortarion hates all flashy designs. There is no decoration inside the Death Guard's battleships, and even the cables and pipes are exposed.

Fu Qinghai set the tone for the decoration of the battleship, which was moderate. There was no excessive decoration, but it was not too simple. The internal and external decoration of the battleship only retained three classic elements: skull, eagle and gear, the three major symbols of the empire.

The fleets passed through the gates of Hades one by one.

The turbulent subspace suddenly appeared.

At this time, there was a cabin inside the battleship.

Half of the cabin is a huge immersion water tank. A woman wearing only underwear is soaked in the liquid. Her brown hair is floating in the waves. Her eyes are closed tightly, but the single eye on her forehead is open. Penetrate the barrier of material reality and gain insight into the treacherous waves in subspace.

This is the subspace sextant, one of the "relic technologies" among the additional facilities in the Su Zheng.

The name is "Sextant", but it looks like a large water tank. It can enhance the navigator's psychic abilities. It uses special liquids in it to simulate the ebb and flow of the subspace outside the ship. Broad-spectrum sensors measure the intensity of the subspace outside the ship. and currents, the cogitator circuit further helps navigators identify known routes and calculate their current stability.

Fu Qinghai walked to the cabin door, turned around and said to Lin Yu:

"You stay outside the door."

"Yes, Khan."

The hatch slid open and closed, and Fu Qinghai came to the huge water tank. Just as Tracy Gray walked out of it, her simple underwear was soaked by the liquid, her wet hair clung to her neck, and the water flowed along her slim and tight body. With her semen flowing down, she showed off her figure generously and slowly walked towards Fu Qinghai with a smile on her face.

"How about it, Navigator?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

"It's a great experience, Khan. I've never felt the energy tide of subspace in such a magical device before. It's like being immersed in it, giving people insight into everything."

Tracy was generous with her compliments.

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"I'm not asking about your experience, I'm asking about the results."

Tracy blinked:

"The flight time was shortened by one-third compared to the expected duration."

This time, Fu Qinghai nodded with satisfaction.

By using the subspace sextant to re-plan the route, the fleet can reach the destination faster than expected. The relic technology is indeed well-deserved, making Fu Qinghai increasingly looking forward to the role of other additional relic technology facilities.

Fu Qinghai thought about it for a while, then looked down and saw that Tracy's three eyes were all looking at him steadily.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Qinghai touched his face.

Being looked at by the navigator’s eyes made my heart tremble.

Tracy suddenly stepped forward and stood on her tiptoes, reaching up to wrap her arms around Fu Qinghai's neck. She pressed her soft face against the hard breastplate, closed her eyes and whispered:

"Thank you, Khan."

Fu Qinghai laughed dumbly and patted her waist:

"Return to your duties, Navigator."

…

Star language choir room.

Xia Lu Flosping stood in the middle, surrounded by eight male or female astropaths who were all older than her. However, Xia Lu had no stage fright and calmly directed everyone to debug the psychic signal amplifier and prepare for the operation. A new round of message communication.

It was completely different from the timid appearance in front of Fu Qinghai.

As everyone sang in unison, Xia Long slowly raised her face, and blazing white light shot out from her blind eyes, penetrated the white lace cloth, and shot to the top of the cabin.

Among the whispers and obscure riddles that echoed throughout the warp, Xia Long captured an unusual message.

…………

Forgot to mention: Throne Coin comes from the rules of the hive world. The various battleship additional facilities that appear in the book come from the rules of the Gothic Fleet. Although this book is mainly based on the original novel, the writing style of the original novel Chunqiu It's vague, so I occasionally draw lessons from peripheral settings.
